and Is wholly false. 1t Is the work
Of stock gamblers TO aid them il
their speculation schemes. In fact
We are in possession or reliable in
formation which shows that the
worlds cotton crop, according to the
estimates Of the best experts, will
fall under the published estimates
by more than a million bales. Fur
ther, we have in our possession
confidential circular which was in
tended 10 circulate on the Inside
among spectators which puts the
cotton crop Of the world at |, 300, 900
bales short OF tine figures they have
published to the world. According
to their own estimate the cotton crop
Of this year will fall short of the
estimated needs of the world at
least 100000 bales. 1t is true we
lost last year by holding back cot
ton, but the crop was unusually large
which with a contracted money sup.
ply enabled the spectator to steadily
push down the price. In fact We
can seldom affotd to try to hold {
crop as long as a few money sharks
can control the volume OF currency
But with the great shortage in th'
crop this year it is hardly possible
that they will be able to keep dOwl
tho price if the farmers will hole
up and stop selling.
The following r. solution was offer
ed before the Supreme Council o
the Alliance at Indianapolis by Ma
rion Butle, of North Carolina ant
unani q, ously adopted:
Resolved, That being IN posses
sion of facts that are thoroughly re
, liable, which warrant US in belle
that a false estimate has been pul

cotton, we feel safe in guaranteein
, better prices if cotton can be hel

The fall term of our Superior
Court is now il session, Judge Boy

and discretion. There have been
several cases, involving fearful
crimes tried and sentenced.
The first case was that of Groves,
a white man, sentenced to five years
in the Penitentiary for crime, the
details of which are too filthy for
appearance in deceEt paper like
we recogni re yours to be.
The secoud case was that Of a
colored woman charged with infan-
ticide, found guilty and sentenced
to be hanged the latter part of next
month.

Honor was certainly very impress-
i've. The supposed criminal. how

by the defense was Of no avail.

GOOD FARMING.

Mr.. J. FL. Sugg told us the other
day that one of his tenants, Mr.: b.
F. Rouse, has made twenty one FIVE
hundred pound bales of cotton on
twenty acres, thirty-four barrels OF
corn on five acres, 100 bushels OF
swest potatoes and thirty ty-three bar
reis of Irish potatoes this year, all
of which he tended with one mule.
This is a splendid yield and we
doubt if it can be beat in the State.
The land on which this was grown
lies near Kinston .-Kinston Free

Yes, good farming but mighty
poor pay he gets for it. Yes, bui

NOTES ON THE INDIANAPOLIS
MEETING.

we had 1ntenQeQ giving our redu-
ers an extended account of our trip
to Indianapolis and also Of the bus
mess before and the actions of the
National meeting, but important /
work in the field and also press of
business, both official
and private that faced me upon my
return has monopolized my time.
But there are several of the many
gross misrepresentation published
by the partisan press which they
have not yet seen fit to correct TO
which I will now refer. First is
the statement that the Alliance, ac-
cording to the National Secretary's
books, had greatly Tossed in mem-
bership, Every delegate knows tLis
to be a malicious falsehood. The
only shadow of ground for this in
ference by the outside world, was
the fact that several states elected
more delegates than they We're enti-
tied to have seated. The best test
for membership in good standing is
the amount of money paid into the
treasury in dues, and according to
secretary's books the amount paid
during the last year was little over
third larger than last year, hence
a net increase in membership OF 335
per cent.
Second is the statement that the
Alliance split in twain over the Sub
Treasury plan. We believe that
many or the papers that published
this knew they were publishinga lie
at the time and none Of them that
we have seen have had the mannood
and courage to correct it. BY unan
imous vote the Supreme Council en-.
dersed the sub-Treasury plan, and
the delegates in doing so acted under
the almost unanimous instruction!
of every State Alliance in the Union
All this talk about split wa. man
ufactured and magnified out of th'
following little harmless and ihsig
nificant side show. One McAliste
who it Is supposed is in the pay o
somebody who is fighting the ALI
ance, and three other so-called anti
sub-Treasuryites who have been dis
countenced by the Alliances went u
to Indianapolis 10 enter a protes
against the Sub-Treasury and t
teach the whole Alliance world tha
it was wrong, etc. When these me-
with unparalleled cheek asked for
hearing, the first impulse was to pa,
no attention to them, but upon ser
o1d thought it occurred to the M
ticnal meeting that that was exactl.
what they expected and desired, an
as further evidence OF this it ws
learned that a reporter Of the ASS
> ciated telegraph dispatches who ha
been sent from New York was close
, ed with McAlister, and waiting
publish to the world that the All
ance was afraid to discuss the Sui
Treasury, etc., etc. So the Supren
Council sent challenge to Meals
ter to discuss the ub-Treasury pla
publicly in indianapolis, or throue
e the public prints. McAliste. an
r his crowd took water and left. Th
k was news, but the lying associate
press would not send it out over
1T wires. And this is all there is
ID the great split. Great prominence W

The Swimming Baths on the Fourth

The Chalybeate swimming baths.
which opened to the pa fts last Saturday
have pgoEed eereas sfgFasass, and the fu.
ture Of the enterprise is assured, both
financially and otherwise. Since open
ing over 1000 people have bathed in its
health giving water, more than 200 TAX
ing the plunge the first day. The place
is always crowded, and everyone is de-
lighted
The ladies, too, have been well repre-
sented by the leading families of Pullman
and Moscow, as many from the latter
place have made trip to Pullman for
the purpose of patronizing the baths.
The arrangements for purifying the
water, and for the convenience and safe.
ty of the patrons are so perfect that the
institution is g thing Of beauty and E
JOY forever"
On Saturday, the Fourth, extra in
ducements are offered in the way of tut
races, tight rope walking and trapezt
performances over water fourteen feet
deep. The tub races start at 4;30 p. M
and are open to all for liberal prizes
Monsters DePlago, Newtono, Harveyo

during the afternoon. This wonderful
double trio in their new and daring feat
"A leap for life over the dark waters
have only to be seen to be admired.
Altogether the amusement offered here
will make the Fourth day long to b.
remembered in Pullman. Tickets fol

sale at the door at 25 cents which viii
include bath in the chalybeate waters

far as this case is concerned, and then
again they could decide that they had
the power to issue such writs but that
the facts in. this case are not such as
would justify the court in doing so; in
this case there world be no decision on
the merits, and 50 appeal could be
taken"
"From the argument made in the su-
preme court what do you think will be
the decision?"
"Of course I may be prejudiced, but
still think that the law as read was in
favor of Pullman. The attorneys for the
defendants, Turner, Graves and Jones,
of Spokane, presented arguments backed
by authorities which cannot see how
the supreme court can get over. / am
confident we will win the case"
"What was done with the question of
traud?"
THAT was only put in the complaint
for effect. The attorneys knew very
well that they could not prove thing
that did not exist and they also knew
that if it did exist that they could not
try the fact in case at law. If, as

''Is it not legal principle that where
there is wrong there is remedy?
Now, if these commissioners were not
legally appointed is there no way to
prevent them from acting?"
"Yes, the state can inquire into the
legality of any officers appointment by

the name of the attorney general, but
this proceeding Will not effect the acts
already performed, unless the law Great

be sure it would have been insisted up
on. The law is all right. So is Pull
