MR.. NcALESTER'S OPINION.
He Hasn't Much Use for the Sub-Treasury
and Third Party Movement.

+ W. S. McAlester, one of the lead
ers OF the Alliance in Mississippi,
arrived in the city yesterday af-
ternoon. and was seen by Il GAZETTE
reporter i'll the lobby of the Mansion
In conversation with Mr.. McAlester re.a-
tive 10 the Alliance movement. his position
was asked on the sub-treaSury scheme and
the third party movement. MIR. McAles-
ter said:
Il am and have ever been an advocate of
the principles embodied in Jacksonian and
Jefersonian Democracy, and have
nothing IN common with this
third party movement. The Sub-treasuryite
and the third party advocates are practi-
cally the same, and every dis
ciple Of the sub-treasury scheme
will sooner o. latter revert 10 the
third party. Every thinking man is
conscious 10 himself that there Is nothing
practicable in this movement STYLED the

although the dingiuess of his character was
apparent to everyone. This is the
man who is the recognized leader

of this move are not in it for their health
IN short, they are for what there is in it,

is no feasible and tangible plank
in their platform that is not found in that

been advocating these principles
for years. The whole organization
is motley mass of malignant matter en-

against one j. l.. Scott, i resident of
Meridian i'll Bosquc county. \ warrant for
the arrest of Scott was forwarded to the

He was more than once requested to
serve the warrant, and on refusal
was fined $25 by Justice Gallagher
of Waco, who issued the warrant Officers
OF Bosque county are biased in favor of the
sheriff, and hard ferlings have been en-
gendered. The sheriff of Bosque county
made application for a writ of habeas

next and an attempt will be made to prove
that the process issued by the Waco justice
is invalid, and nearly every officer of this
county has been summoned TO appear
Judge Gallagher has is ucd a warrant for
the arrest of the Bosque sheriff if he does
not pay the fine assessed. II is i case

Some of tho Prominent Men who will

active in the work of the Farmers Alliance
is of interest. and more especially as they
viii participate in today's convention.
There are others equally as prominent who

men, and this convention will have a Won
derful influence upon Texas affairs.
B. F. ROGERS.
B F. Rogers is about forty-three years
old and descended from original Scotch
Irish stock; is native of Mississippi. He
came to Texas at an early age in 1919, and
was reared on the frontier amid all the
hardships and privations incident TO that
section prior to the late civil war. Having
but meager opportunities in early life, he
is not what would be called an educated
man. but by dint of hard study and close
application has gained knowledge OF men
and things creditable TO one of more pre-
tentious learning. He is farmer and
ginner, devoting all his time, aside from
public duties. to the cultivation and i'm
provement of his farm and home; has a
lovely country seat ten miles from Pales-
tine, and has often been heard TO remark:
Home is the sweetest place on earth.
He is a member of the Farmers Alliance,
and early in the history of the order took
rank with the foremost men of the order.
he was three times elected on the executive
committee. and served twelve months as
state lecturer. He has been lecturer and
president 81 his county. which latter posi-
ton ne now holds, has never sought promi-
nence In the order. notwithstanding he has
filled important positions. While on the
executive committee, he wrote the resolu-
ton asking for the resignation of Macune
as manager of the Alliance Exchange which
resignation took effect on December l. 1883.
He has been opposed to Macune and his
methods ever since the embarrassing
that he (Macunel received at the state Ali
ance in August, 1883. Mr.. Rogers is promi-
nent to-day, as one Of those who do not be-

WEATHER-CROP REPORT.

The New England Meteorological
society, in its report for the week
ending July "a, says: The weather
has been very favorable for crops and
farm work. Cool nights in some
localities have retarded the growth
of corn, melons and light crops. The
tempera ture has been about normal
during the entire week.
The Brattleboro observer says
that all crops are doing well except
oats, which are being hurt by rust
to quite an extent. At Brookfeld
potatoes are looking we'll and show
good blossom. Corn is the slimmest
crop, but the right weather in the
next two months will make it all
right. At Burlington the haying is
we'll advanced and the weather has
been very favorable. Apples at
Craftsbury will not be half a crop.
Potatoes and oats at West Fairlee
are looking fine and the outlook for
heavy crops is good.

BA Sc BALL GOSSIP.

Saturdays game with the Thorn
son-Houston Electrics of Lynn did
not prove victory for the home
nine, but it was a very interesting
contest nevertheless. The St. Johns
burys played a very steady game and
shut the visitors out several innings
in very creditable way. The nine
has been greatly strengthened by
the Dartmouth college contingent,
and Mr.. Smalley is very efficient
pitcher and struck out some of the
heaviest hitters on the other side.
Neither side scored until the third in
ming when our boys scored the only
run of the game by an error of the
pitcher The visitors scored three
runs in the next inning and added
two more in the fifth and sixth. The
final score was 5 to 1 in favor of the
Electrics. The score:

There is possibility that President
Harrison may visit St. Johnsburv
the third week in August. He will
attend the Bennington centennial
and from there Secy. Proctor hopes to
take him to Rutland, Montpelier, St.
Johnsbury and Burlington. If the
party come here they will come from
Montpelier via Wells River and stay
in town over night and go from here
to Burlington. St. Johnsbury has
never been honored with a visit from
a president of the United States, and
if President Harrison comes here he
will receive a royal welcome.

More Post Office Gossip.

Gen. Grout informs us that the
congressional delegation have prac-
tically decided to permit no more
post Office caucusses, and for that
and other reasons there is no pros
pect OF one in the case of the St.
Johnsbury Office. Personally he is
in favor Of the caucus and elective
system, as is we'll known, but the
others are adverse. The Brattle-
boro result scared them, evidently,
and they are afraid of more demo-
Gratis. 1t being apparently settled
that Maj. Bowman must go, and the
aspirants for the office being excep-
tionally weak men, we will venture
the prediction that the next post
master of St. Johnsbury will be Gen.
