In forming new and independent or.
ganl2aton the anti-Sub.T Treasury members OF
the Farmers Alliance have taken bold step.
There is no doubt that tho opponents OF the
Snb-Treasry scheme can control tho Alliance
In at least half dozen Of the Sta.es in which
1t is strongest. That the now movement
Is not confined TO the South can be seen by the
names OF the States that are represented In
the Convention which was opened in St. Louis
yesterday.
The snb'Treasury plank constitutes the
greater mart Of the platform reared for the use
OF the Farmers Alliance, and consequently
the opposition to it that has become manifest
in the ranks OF the Alliance may well terrify
the upholders OF that platform.

What Chicago Says,

The Chicago Tribune makes perfectly
simple statement OF tho local views upon
the Fair and money.
There are cheap fairs and there are en-
pensive fairs. Chicago. says the Tribune, Is
prepared to give n cheap fair one for the
ten million dollars she has set down as
raised. II there is any outside desire for a
better fair than can be provided by that
sum, the country vii! have to pay for It.
Ten million dollars is large amount, but
1t is insignificant compared to the cost of
an exhibition such rs was conceived OF by
the original promoters OF the Fair scheme.
and such us would do justice to the occa-
sion. However, for any better show than
Chicago is inclined to give out OF her own
resources the country must pay for, VIC are
told.
This is like letting 4 man down a we'll for
nothing, but striking him for money to pull
him up II is an appropriate feature o! an
attempt at a gigantic swindle.

If She could have run away she would

seemed pctritic,l.

tents OF her fathers wallet lit was well

oxen the previous day, and that no

With the blue flames Pickering upon
her white, set face, and the red cinders

himself up.
When Alice saw the size of him Che

A man down east has invented n

placed. The child swings to and fro,
and the motion causes the machine to
run, with the result that the family
washing is done up in good shape. AS
long rs the child does not know that it
is doing any work it would seem that
this would be good schcme; but those
who arc familiar with the nature of

mother, being old-fashioned, too, al
ways retired to bed at nine o'clock;
her brother and his wife did the same,
and generally she was the last waking
thing about the place.
On this particular night Alice was
sitting before the 'halfburncd embers
of the parlor fire, after all the rest had
retired, lcisurely combing her long,
black hair, and dreaming, as maidens
will, of anything and everything.
The room was in sort of lurid dark
ness, illuminated now and again by
transient flashes Of light from bank
of unburned coal at the very back of
the CRATE, which now and again sent
up spears of white flame to play upon
the warm, rcd window curtains, and
the dark tablccloth, and the crimson
wall paper.
Everything glowcd red In the room
save one small white mound in the cor
ner beside Il wide sofa, and Alice
knew that to be Baby Westons little
cradle, where he generally spent his
days kicking or vocally employed while
his mother pursued her usual house
hold nvocations.
Baby Weston was now, of course,
sleeping upstairs. and the cradle was
empty.
When Alice had dreamed to her
hearts content, and was preparing to
leave the room, it suddenly occurred to
her to gather up the glowing heap of
Goals into the shovel and carry them up
to her own bedroom stove, as the night
was chilly.
She proceeded to do so, and raised
the sulphurous pyramid in her hand.
As she elevated the shovel light
flame burst all over the top of the pile,
and for an instant the whole room was
illuminated by it.
In that instant Alice, looking by
chance toward the cradle, thought she
saw second white object in the cor

fumes might escape mp the chimney.
and looked more carefully.
Assurcdly there was something white

that of n hare, began to beat very fast.
What could it be? Had they forgotten
