TIE CATS OUT OF rHEBAG.

Strenuous have been the denials of
the sub-treasury Alliance speakers and
organs that the membership of that or
ganization was declining in numbers.
The contrary has been asserted, that
new lodges are constantly being formed
and added TO the growing strength of
the Alliance. The president of the
Texas State Alliance made the bold
declaration in a recently published let
ter, that the current year, now draw
Ing to close, had beheld large and
gratifying enlargement OF the Alliance
membership. Such was the tenor Of
all publications coming from Alliance
sources, and this matter of increase
was paraded so persistently that one
could not but have the suspicion awak
eued that the protesting too much
might be to cover up really bad state
of affairs.
That such was really the case is now
proved by developments at the
National Alliance convention in
Indianapolis of the true condition
of the Alliance, which could no longer
be covered up. The truth came out
when the delegates of that convention
were cut down in number, which Mr..
Macune said must be done on account
of the limited fund in the treasury to
pay them. AS this fund was derived
from per capita assessment of the
members, the question was raised as
TO why these assessments were not paid
by all of the members. The reply was
elected that they had paid. Then why
the shortage? Because-then it had to
be confessed-the assessment had been
levied on a basis of twice or three
times the actual membership. In Mis-
sissippi and Texas the falling off has
been most noticeable, but the secreta-
ries, under instructions from headquar-
tiers, it is said, made no report Of this
reduced membership, and the assess
ment was levied on the basis OF last
years membership. But as fifteen or
twenty thousand men could not pay as
much as had been paid by forty or fifty
thousand, the tale had to be told-it
was told by the cash on hand-and it
told that the Alliance leaders had de-
liberately been deceiving the public
and their followers by misrepresenting
the true condition OF the order.

A TRUST THAT HAS GALL.

The wholesale grocers of Galveston
deserve the admiration of every bust
ness community in the state in the
plucky and determined stand they
have taken in resisting the impudent
and inordinate demands of the Ameri-
can tobacco company. They are entitled
to the moral support OF every citizen
who abhors the brazen front of monop-
oily. The attitude of the tobacco trust
which seeks to force its wares down the
Threats OF the merchants and consum-
ers of this great state is such, if the
wires are not misleading in the tales
they tell of the affair, as discloses an
exhibition of monumental cheek and a
display of unadulterated gall unparal-
leled in the history of any country. If
the facts in relation to the matter have
been correctly reported the members
OF that trust should be indicted and
placed behind the bars of a prison.
1t seems that failing in their efforts
to compel the grocers OF Galveston to
buy and sell only the tobacco and cigar
cites manufactured by its members,
the trust has threatened to place its
wares in the hands OF the customers of
the rebellious merchants-the retail
dealers throughout the state-at such
ruinously low rates as to destroy this
branch of the wholesalers trade and to
throttle competition on the part of all
independent traders in tobacco who
are rivals of the American tobacco
trust.
So far has the effrontery of the
imperious combination extended that
the dispatches tell how the president
and several leading members of the
organization have gone in person to
Galveston for the purpose of bulldozing
the merchants into compliance with
their tyrannous demands. These monop-
olists have in effect gone into the offices
of Texas merchants and said brazenlv:
"You must sell our goods and none
other. If you don't we'll crush you"

lation which legislatures elected by ii
would give form to. Then the Grange
began to go down, until it made an
effort to retrieve the error that had so
nearly wrecked it, and went out of
politics. AS a strictly non-political
farmers organization the Grange has
now established itself, and needs the
lesson SO costly learned by steadfastly
keeping out of political entanglements.
And back beyond the time of
the Grange are visible the wrecks
that marked many a promis-
| ing secret order that ''went into

organization, the Order of the Cincin-
natl, and others that the student Of
history knows of. The only secret
organization that has weight in politics
and is able to maintain its position is
the Grand Army of the Republic,
which is held together by ''the cohe-
sive power of public plumber" Its
strength and the exception it has
proved to the unvarying run of secret
political orders are owing to the fact
that it represents the individual greed
OF every member, who hopes to get
pension, or to increase the one he is
getting, and it has always thrown its
votes for that candidate by whom it
had most to gain, without falling into
the folly of starting new party.

There may be a lot of rottenness in our
politics, and our conventions may be
run by bosses, but these are evils that
the people can see, and when they suf-
fer to certain length, and get right
mad, they rise up and kick the bosses
out-then turn their separate ways and1
let the bosses come back again. But
for all that, the evil of bossism in open
meeting, that may be kicked over, is
not so bad as the evil of bossism in an
oath-bound secret order which must be
obeyed. That is why neither the
Farmers Alliance nor any other secret

A FLAT FAILURE,

The effort of the Macune branch Of
the Alliance to build up political
party founded on secret class organ
ization has come to the same end that
all other like efforts have come to.
That end is failure of the --LATEST kind.
Even passing acquaintance with
the political history of our country
would have taught the leaders of this
movement that they were going on to
disaster. Polk and PETER, Simpson
and Macune. have studied American
history with little profit if they ever
had in hope more than momentary
success for the Alliance political de-
parture.
If history is precept teaching by
example," there were not wanting pre-
cepts and examples to warn them from
dragging the Alliance into the dangers
of partyism. In late years-so late
that it cannot yet be dull to the most
tickle memory-the Knights of Labor
and its kindred trade organizations es-
sayed the reformation of certain pro-
claimed abuses by turning their lodges
into political busting places. The fall
ing away began at once, and the
Knights OF Labor ceased to be a power
coincidently with its effort to become
a power. The Grange, which had
overrun the whole South and West in
the early 70's, made the mistake of
thinking that it could in secret meet
ings lay plans for the shaping Of legis-

This is pretty spectacle to be
Haunted in the faces of freemen.
In the convention of legislative COM
mittees that assembled in St. Louis
during the spring of 'S9, which had for
its object the suggestion of uniformity
in legislation by the different states
whose representatives participated in
the deliberations looking to crush
ing out of the oppressive monop-
olies that were grinding the noses
of the people, the draft of the Texas
anti-monopoly law was approved. That
law, either in its original or in a mod
flied form, is now on the statute books
of this state.
1t is encouraging to note that Gal
weston merchants have appealed to
Acknowledgement Culberson and to the
machinery OF the local courts to invoke
the provisions of their anti-monopoly
law for their protection. New Orleans
and Houston have sent to Galveston
words OF good cheer and encourage
ment. The merchants of Fort Worth
and other cities of the state should
make common cause against this
threatened monopoly that has put in its
appearance on the seaboard.
All trusts are subversive of COMPETE
ton. Their existence is contrary to
an existing statute. Whenever one
of the brood opens its mouth within the
state to utter threats against the inter-
ests of any business constituency of her
citizens and to declare it will strike
down with mailed hand the profits of
their trade if they refuse to accede to
its impudent requests, it should be
dealt with under the law as summarily
as any other offender, and its members
subjected to swift and exemplary JUS

PREMATURE CALCULATIONS.

Just about this time every ante-pres-
idential year the newspapers begin to
editorialize upon the crop of new voters
| that are to mature in season for the
approaching election. Theories are
put forth to prove that these young
men, who are about to be given a
chance to perform, for the first time,
the act OF voting in national pres'den-
tial election. will lean toward the Re-
publican party because that is the party
OF freedom, or toward the Democratic
party because that is the party that
stands for reform. When the election
comes off. however, it is generally
found that there has been very little
change in the proportion of the popu-
lar vote of the country for the candi-
dates of the two leading parties. In
1884 500 per cent of these votes were
cast for Cleveland and little more
than 40 per cent for Blaine, and four
years later, with the new crop of voters
on hand, Cleveland had 50.4 per cent OF
these votes and Harrison 1915 per cent.
The change had not amounted to more
than one-tenth Of l per cent. Practi-
cally there was no change at all.
While there is large addition
to the number of presidential
voters every four years, these
are not in any sense novel votes.
The American sovereign is slave. He
is slave to partisanism. The sons of
Republican father are Republicans
because their father was, and for the
same reason the sons of Democratic
fathers are Democrats. They have
been trained up that way, and their
training goes with them. So, when-
these new-made suffragans go to the
polls, they go there only to record the
views that have been instilled in them.
They simply give effect to the beliefs
that their fathers have raised them in.
There were 625,512 more Democratic
votes cast in 1888 than 1884, and there
were 593,752 more Republican votes.
This means that considering the in
crease apart from the increase by i'm
migration) there We're about 625, 900
sons of Democratic fathers who became
of age in those four years, and about
$4,000 sons of Republican fathers who
reached the same stage Of independ-
ence.
We can look for the same thing in
1892. There will be large augmenta-
ton of the vote, but it will be nearly
evenly divided between the two par
ties. The great editors who are max
ing their readers feel good by giving
assurances that the new voters of 1892
will go to their party, whatever that

NOWHERE is there a more absolute
being THAI district judge when he is
trying a case Of contempt of court. He
is at once prosecutor, judge of the law
and the fact. and executioner. An in
stance of what may be done by the
possessor of such power is seen by
turning 10 the action of district Judge
in San Antonio. The grand jury,
charged and sworn to investigate all
eases Of law violations, found it neces-
sary in carrying out their in tructions
to summon the judge before them. He
asserted the majesty of his position by
jerking up the grand jury and filming
them $50 apiece. Andrew Jackson,
when general of the United States
armies, WAS once fined by district
Judge, and he paid it without COM
plant. 4 San Antonio Judge is a
bigger man than Andrew jackson ever
was, and feels his oats" with greater
strength.
