Last DAYS of Pompeif.

On Saturday evening John Palmer's
dramatiZation of Bulwer'S world-famed
story will be produced at Greenwall's with
the author in the title role. An exchange
says:
The play has stood the test of city pro-
auctions throughout the North, and Mr..
Palmer has given character to the Ameri-
can stage entirely original His persona
ton of Arbaces equals in intellectual
significance and personality of action
the character of "Mephisto'' in ''Faust," as
Henry Irving, the English actor, portrays
him. The characters are not unlike each
other and MIR. Palmer's conception of the
Egyptian" is mastery one, giving evil
dence of deep study, executed with rare in
telligence and power The crafty, calcu-
lating priest of Isis, the last son of the for
gotten monarch of Egypt; Rameses, with all
the pride of his race; the tall and stately
Arbaces that Bulwer drew with a mastery
hand, is made living, breathing reality.
Mr.. Palmer is gifted by nature with
classic contour of countenance and a fierce,
penetrating eye that seems to glitter and
flash until it fairly burns into the observ-
er's brain. Arbaces was supposed to pos
sess the gift of the evil eye.
Mr.. Palmer, when his seasons work is
over, seeks rest from the arduous duties of
professional life in the seclusion of private
life with his family. His summer cottage
is located on the Detroit river in the vicin-
ity of the city Of that name. He is quite
enthusiastic over the natural beauty of the
city of Detroit and its surroundings, in
GLIDING the beautiful Detroit river, which
is in summer crowded with pleasure steam
ers plying between scores of points of in
tereSt along this great stream that carries
the products of the Northwest through its
channels down to the lower lakes for distri-
button through the country everywhere.

EXPEDITION TO ALASKA.
The Country Will Never be Available as .
Permanent Residence on Account OF
the Nine Months Winter.
Special to the Gazette.


KANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. IA letter has
been received here from member of tho
Russell party, which has just returned FROM
an exploring expedition to Alaska. The let
ter gives the information that has been pub
lished in the press dispatches, but has addi
tional information which is of general in
tereSt. The writer says that as far as
Alaska is concerned, he does not think il
can ever be available as u permanent resi-
dence for white men, for the reason that il
will not sustain life. When the mining and
hunting seasons are over there is absolutely
nothing for the people to do. and they are
compelled to stay indoors for the balance Of
the winter. AS the hunting and mining
season only lasts about three months in the
year, it is readily seen that for nine months
the country is absolutely worthless. 1t is
impossible to raise grain or vegetables of
season, and those who live in the country
are compelled to depend upon what they get
from the outside for suStenance.
He says that the country from one end to
the other is simply Il mass of snow and ice
piled upon mountains which are almost inn
passible in the most favorable weather.
The mines are not of great value even if
they were of easy access, but with the pres
ent facilities for transportation they are
almost worthless. He says that the results
of the exploration are valuable from a
scientific standpoint, but they have devel-
oped the fact that the whole interior of the
vast country is of no benefit to anyone and
never will be. There is very little game of
any kind after they get away from the
Yukon river and the shore of the ocean.
There are a few bears found now and then,
but as rule the whole country is deserted
by all animal life

in this column, but suffice it to say the
story is clean. interesting, and affords a
fund of entertainment. "Dorothy's Di-
lemma'' may be described as a farce COM
edy, but one from which is emanated all of
those Objectionable and coarse illusions
that are characteristic of pieces of the pres
ent day, touring the country under that
title. When it IS said that such plays as
"Dorothy's Dilemma are the mainstay of
Augustin Days excellent organization in
New York, the admirable qualities of Miss
Coghlan's play are told. 1t is refreshing to
see piece so completely devoid of horse
play, and yet replete with vivacious refine
ment. There is not dull moment through
out the performance, and the performance
spark les from beginning to end. The intro
duction of several musical numbers adds to
the completeness of the whole. and the bit
of dancing INDUCED in by the leading per-
formers at the close of the first act contrib
utes much to the enjoyment of the play.
Miss Coghlan has been seen here
in heavier work, and of a
kind that taxes the greatest resources
of the artist, but she has never before in
dicated the extent of her versatility as is
shown by her refreshing touches of comedy
acting in this piece. Her presence is ex-
hilarating, and from the moment she makes
her entrance the audience is touched with
her and responds to every impression. Her
Dorothy Barring is very lovely woman, and
one that every man and woman admires.
Nobility of character and sincerity of friend
ship are dominant characteristics. She
entertains you and you wonder what she
will do next. All is expectancy. and the
result is satisfactory. There is sparkle in
Miss Coghlans acting in this piece that we
have never before had the pleasure of wit
Messing. 1t can be compared to the exhil-
arating effect of champagne and the subtlety
of the best Chambertin. To those who en-
JOY good comedy, we say go and see Rose
Coghlan in ''Dorothy's Dilemma"

GRANGE AND ALLIANCE.
Two Open Letters from the Head Men,
Hon. John b. Long and Hon.
Evan Jones.
DALLAS, TEX, Oct. II, 1891.

DALLAS. TEX, Oct H. 1891.
Hon; Evan Jones, President Farmers State
Alliance:
DEAR SIR AND FRIEND-Occupy1ng the
position which you and l do, as representa-
tives of the Alliance and Patrons of Hus-
bandry in Texas, the object of both being
the welfare of the country and especially
the advancement and prosperity of agricul-
ture, makes it obligatory on us to move in
harmony and cooperate in every effort for
the amelioration of our people and their es-
Enlistment upon the basis of prosperity.
That these two orders are not doing that
to-day no one will question, for however
much we might compare the strength and
huSband the forces of either of them the
division which exists at this time upon the
fundamental doctrine and basis of the two
makes it impossible to succeed at as early
date as would be if harmony of sentiment
and unanimity of action prevailed The
very best that can be done will take a
longer period of time than is anticipated BY
most all before anything like desired sue
cess Is achieved. It will take earnest and
persistent effort to accomplish the reforms
necessary. 1t will take action, based upon
the fundamental doctrine asserted by the
Grange and adopted by the Alliance.
The Grange has often declared its readi-
ness and desire to cooperate in all un-
questionable efforts for the relief of the
POopiC, Uu0 AdS uCNST, III duy Q6-
parted from its constitutional origin or
basis, and could not afford to do so now
Therefore, the Grange cannot, in any way,
aid the Alliance in eits sub-treasury effort,
from the fact that it is contrary to the prin-
ciple on which the Grange rests, and which
must be supported if we wish to maintain
republican form of government and ex-
tend the possibilities and prosperity of
American agriculture.
In consequence of the existing difference
between the Alliance and the Grange on
the sub-treasury question and the facts be-
fore stated and the belief that it can only be
settled by due elaboration on the part of
the people, take the privilege of suggest
ing that the question be discussed through
the Southern Mercury and the Texas
Farmer, both papers agreeing to publish In
fnll both sides. This strikes me as the best
means and only method whereby the least
friction may be had, and yet the merits
claimed, and the dement's offered, may be
duly presented. You can select an advo-
cate, and will name one to negative the
subject. BY free, fair, full and dignifed
discussion Of the principles involved, decis-

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE anarchists of
New York are boasting of the growth of
their forces. They tell how the number of
their organizations in the city has increased,
how the attendance at their propagandist
meetings has been enlarged, how the funds
at the disposal of their leaders have been
augmented, how they are extending their
power in many of the labor organizations,
and how they are preparing for the events
which, as they say, are to happen before
the end of the Nineteenth century.
The grounds of their boasting can be
found by any one who is able to 60 behind
the scenes Of anarchism. In past years
nearly all the anarchists of New York were
Germans, and Herr Johann Most, who is
now in the penitentiary for propagating an
archism, was their prophet. There were
only few hundreds of them, all told, but
they gathered notoriety because Of the VIC
lence of their language and also because
they were supposed to be Matching under
ground plots, to be loaded with dynamite,
and to be ready to raise reign of terror.
They were watched by the police, warned
by the press, and deteSted by the commu-
nifty, while detectives were sent to their
meetings and kept watch of their haunts.
There were no native Americans among the
New York anarchists, who stood apart by
themselves, madeltheir speeches in German.

swarms of Hebrew refugees who are taking

his fathers friend, he meets Andrew Burk,
the confdante and advisor of Lawton. Jim
recognizes in him former .'pard" who
'lighted'' out with all the dust" Jim had
when he struck rich 'vein.''
He gives Burk to understand that he
recognizes him, but he is silent for the
time. Burk and an accomplice are doing
their best to ruin Mr.. Lawton by ad-
vising him to buy stock in the San Diablo
mine, which there is nothing In. To get
Mr.. Lawton to buy more stock they
have got to get his son, Harry, out
of the way. Burk FORCES Mr.. Lawton's
signature to a check and represents to the
father that the son was the forger. The
father turns the son adrift, and Jim goes
with him. Martin Ferris, an old mate Of
Jim's, finds him out and tells him a secret,
that the San Diablo mine is wonder.
Harry comes back with a paper in which
he reads that his father has been ruined by
shares of San Diablo. Jim Immediately
starts for the Lawton house and induces
his father not to sell, but to buy. The
stock runs away down, but when Ferris
makes known its discovery it goes up
again and Lawton is saved. Burk is found

Hon. John b. Long, Master Texas State Grange
Dear Sir and Brother Co-worker in the
Cause of our Suffering Industries-On my
return from Louisiana, l received youl
open letter, bearing date October II, ad
dressed to myself upon the necessity of Co
operation between the State Grange anG
the Farmers State Alliance of Texas
In reply permit me to say that the Farm
ers' State Alliance of Texas has always
favored consolidation with the Texas State
Grange, and federation with all labor or
CARNATIONS who are working for the ad.
vancement of the laboring classes The
Farmers Alliance has always occupied
high, conservative, but aggressive ground,
and though often heedlessly provoked, has
persistently refused in any way to antagou-
1ze the Texas State Grange or any other
labor organization.
fully appreciate your statement that cit
will take earnest and persistent efforts to
accomplish the reforms necessary. It will
take action based upon the fundamental
doctrine asserted by the Grange and the
Alliance" In this connection permit me to
call your attention to the fact that your pro-
posed plan of cooperation calls upon the
Farmers Alliance to sacrifice the funda-
mental principles of financial reform as set
forth in our state and national demands
(the sub-trcasury plan,) which has become
the rallying cry of our organization and its
confederates, the rock upon which we have
planted our feet, which, am persuaded,
you and those who oppose it do not fully
understand,
The objects sought by the sub-treasury
plan lis to have the United States govern
ment issue supplemental or auxiliary vol
ume of money, which may be brought into
circulation in times of scarcity produced
by increased demand, that will automati-
cally return to the government as the de-
mand for its use ceases to exist, and by this
means prevent any marked relative contrac-
ton or expansion of the volume of the cir
cula,ing medium of the country" The
PRONUNCIATION of this plan has provoked
universal discussion, solidified our order,
and brought into our ranks thousands
of recruits during the past year in Texas
alone
In view of the fact that the State Grange
has, in its official capacity, denounced the
principles of the sub-treasury plan, and the
Farmers Alliance of Texas has unani-
mously indoFsed it, l, as the executive head
of the Farmers State Alliance in Texas, in
my humble opinion, would be recreant to the
trust confded in me should attempt to
form any ombination that will in the least
compromise the organization. Conse-
quently, I am under the unpleasant neces-
sity of declining your proposition.
Cognizant of the fact that large number
of the members of the Grange are also
members of the Alliance and are in perfect
harmony with its principles and demands,
am anticipating the perfection of plan in
the near future which will enable all who
wish to free our country from the grasp of
corporate monopoly to stand shoulder to
shoulder without sacrificing any principle
or compromising either order. With much
respect, am truly yours,
President Farmers State Alliance.
