The following from tho Ne,v Harcn-
Alliance no. 116, is filed with SO much
practical truth, that swe present the
resolutions to our readers for consider
alton:
Whereas, Knowing us we do that
over production OF cotton is one of the
greatest causes Of the ruinously low
prices of cotton brinwin" it far below
the cost of production. and recognizing
the fact that the scarcity of money is
caused chiefly by sending it off to pur-
chase corn and meat that we can pro-
duce at home and seeing nothing for
ourselves and families in the future but
poverty aud ignornn'". if we continue
to raise cotton to the neglect of other
and more important crops. Therefore
be it ..
Resolved by the New Haven Alliance
that the acreage of cotton should be
reduced to three and not more than five
acres to each horse engaged in the crop
and we pledge ourselves to use every
honorable means in our power to have
our Alliance brethren and others inte-
rested in planting cotton to quit the
ruinous policy of planting cotton to
the utter neglect Of food crops.
Resolved End, that the secretary OF
this Alliance send II copy of these reso-
lntions to the county organ for publca-
tion, and all papers in the State that
have tho prosperity Of our beloved
State at heart be requested to copy.

CLEARLY T. WHITE-WAsH,"

The jackson Ni*~issippiaa says the
following letter frou, Tennessee Nc
D0well who served us chairman of the
Ocala committee which investigated
the charges Of bribery and corruption
against Macune. ,onfesses the charge,
and conclusively establishes his guilt.
Macune and his l>.nchmen may cry

NASHVILLE Tenn. december II, 1880.
Thos. J. Middleton Waxahatchie
Texas.
Dear Sir and B,Mlpr:-In reply to
your favor of December 10, will endeav-
or without prejudice to give you the
truth. I was chairman Of the investi-
eating committee. The proof undispu-
ted showed that Macune and Sledge
had paid $1,000 cash tu get control of
the Southern Alliance Farmer, official
organ Of Georgia, That sledge, another
owner Of the Eco""mtst, had control
ling interest in the .No,rury-four years
lease; that their Georgia paper sent
out as a supplement Pat Calhoun's let
ter on the sub-trersury bill before the
legislature met wi, a view of strength
ening him for the United States senate,
that Macune had 1hi, letter submitted
to him for revision before it was pub
lished, that he went to atlanta and re.
NAMED there during the contest for
United States senator, and aided Cal
houn, knowing him to be attorney for
the biggest railroad combine in the
South; that he went to his private resi-
dence at night and remained until
about midnight; that he, Macune, got,
after the senatorial fight was over $4,000
in cash, which he claimed was a loan,
and that he gave as security orders on
our national treasury for $4,000 due
him. In the committee of investigation
Evan Jones and other strong friends
of Macune tried to prevent the facts
from being reported to the convention.
A majority and minority report were
drawn up and signed, but after much
wrangling in the committee to prevent
too much friction in the convention by
Macune's friends, which some feared
would disrupt the order. II number OF us
submitted to a report that was clearly
a white-wash. I, Hall and others ex-
planned the matter in convention.
Fra'erna1ly yours.

writers IN all ages OF civilized man
have spoken Of an uncaptured animal
generally called the sea serpent, which
makes its home in the deep blue wa
ters of the ocean. When we consider
the vast dimensions Of its watery home
with it's almost unmeasurable depths,
we see no reason to doubt the fact of
such monsters inhabiting the seas.
The following is thelast we'll authenti-
Gated account Of such habitue of ''the
1vasty Deep
The story is as follows: The schooner
was in charge of Mate William Opt,
and Seaman jacobson was at the wheel.
The vessel was going along slowly un-
der all sail in the light air, and as be-
fore stated she was about thirty miles
east southeast from Cape Ann. It WAS
a bright, clear evening, and the
mate was standing aft talking to Ja-
cObson.
Just to windward, not more than ten
feet from the schooner's bow q mass
rose above water which Immediately
attracted the attention of both men.
The mass was moving slowly toward
the schooner in a line converging with
the ships course a quarter of mile
ahead; or, in other words, swimming
almost parallel with the vessel.
Both men were dumfounded and they
watched the monster closely. To them
it seemed to be about fifty feet long and
the body was twenty feet in width.
The body was of a dark brown color,
and was covered with a rough skin.
The head was as large as a hogshead
and the eyesas large as u mans head
and of reddish color. The neck was
smaller than the head and the body
'flattened in the middle and tapered off
to the tail which ended in a point.
About midway Of the body huge fin
projected into the air, and near the tail
we're two projections which were either
legs or fms, but which could not be ex-
actly determined on account of being
under water. The serpent was moving
about four knots an hour, and its head
was submerged, but on some occasions
deeper than on others, and once it was
lifted entirely out Of water.
The serpent remained in sight for a
quarter of an hour, and the crew, the
remainder being called to see the at
traction, had a good view of it for at
least ten minutes. The monster ap-
preached the vessel, and crossing the
bow, the forefoot Of the Gold Hunter
passed over the tail end Of Of the body,
not injuring it, however. The crew
were more or less alarmed, but when
the serpent quietly made off towards
shore all habds breathed easier and
watched him until he disappeared..
The Gold Hunter pulled out of Nays
yesterday. and is now lying at Boston
wharf. The crew all substantiate this
statement.

A PEW CHIPS SHY.
A st. Louis Broker Skips Away
From His Creditors.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. April 14.-It became
known this morning that Page McPher-
son, of the firm of Mcpherson, SwitZer
& Co., general brokers ON Third street,
has been missing from the city since
last Friday. 1t was at first rumored
that he committed suicide, but it de-
Yeloped later that his disappearance
was caused by financial trouble and
that he left debts behind amounting TO
fully S20,0 The exact condition of
his affairs cannot be stated, as he has
been, it is alleged, borrowing money
right and left from whoever he could
get it, and it will take some time before
clear statement of his standing can be
made. The firm OF which he is MEM
Der is st. Louis correspondent for Nc
COrmick u Co.. of Chicago and New
York. 1t is believed that his operations
have also involved the firm, but how
deeply is hot yet known. He is said to
have told friend last Thursday that he
was going to Chicago the next day. Nc
PherSon is leading society man and
one of the best known young men in the
city.
Charles M. Switzer, McPherson's
partner. says there is not the slightest
dOuUL III Mo hIllO IIuO lieto
AS TO the amount of money Mcpherson
owed Mr.. SwitZer had no idea. He did
know, however, that Mcpherson was
embarrassed financially. 1t was all
borrowed money and money due on
speculations. The speculations were
all personal, and do not affect the firm.
William Mcpherson Jr, a nephew of
the missing man, said that the theory
of suicide was not credited by the fami-
~, but that Mr.. Mcpherson had gone to
Chicago for week. as he had often
done before. The police are working
upon the case.

SAINT PAUL.
DIED ON A TRAIN.
Sudden Demise of ST. Paul Man
Coming Home From Denver.

coming Home From Denver.
A very mysterious death occurred on
the Kansas City train due from the
west at 1880 last evening. Shortly
after midnight the police at head
quarters were notified by the
officials of the Kansas City road
that passenger had died on
Denver Train No. 3, and that the train
would arrive in St.Paul at l in the NOM
ing. The police pate OF wagon was dis
patched from police headquarters, and
Mccarthy & Donnelly were also noti-
fed, as was Coroner Quinn. When
the train arrived, the mans body
was lying across double section
of passenger car, where he had died.
From cards found in his pockets and
from statements made to Conductor G.
Ii. Shields, it was learned that the
mans name was William Kacerovsky,
manufacturer of cigars, 662 Randolph
street, st. Paul. Conductor Shields
stated that when he took charge of the
train at Dubuque the dead man had told
him that he had been to Den
yer during the past ten days in
order to try and better his condition.
He stated that he had wife and three
children in st. Paul, and was on his way
home. Complaining of pains in his
stomach. he lay down, but soon alarmed
all the passengers by his groans. At
West Concord doctor boarded the train
and endeavored to relieve HIM, but did
not succeed. At Kenyon another doctor
was called. who administered an injec-
ton of morphine. but this seemed to
have no effect, and at 11:30, soon after
leaving Dennison, Mimi, the man sud-
denly died.
Robert Elder, of Fairbanks, Morse &
Co., of St. Paul, who was a passenger
on the train, together with W. w. Har-
vey and wife. of Portland, Or, did all
they could for the dying man, but
failed to relieve his acute sutferings.
The body, which was that of
man about forty years of
age, was conveyed by the orders of Dr.
Quinn to the establishment of Mccarthy
q Donnelly. Nothing of value was
found in the pockets, his pocketbook
only containing d cents and tele-
graph form addressed to Vaclav
Picha, Seventh street west and
Michigan street. st. Paul. DIR. Quinn,
the coroner, will hold an inquest this
morning TO determine the cause of the
death of Kacerovsky. whose relatives
were notified of his demise at an early
hour by the police.

went to Baltimore to practice his pro-
fession, but, failing, he engaged, it is
