BREAKING UP IN ALABAMA.

The Alliance has all gone to the
dogs in Alabama as we'll as in Kansas
and Mississippi. The following from
the Alliance Herald, Of Montgomery,
Alabama, tells how it is dying:
Within the last ten days there has been one
charter of a primary Alliance forfeited and
thirteen issued by the secretary Of the Alabama
State Alliance. There has been 80 much said
by the press OF the state about the order weak
enlng and disbanding, that this statement Is
made 70 ahOw what the truth u about lk. Il b

life to which the people Of this coun-
try are constantly subject in conse-
quence Of the adulterstion Of almost,
if not quite every article of food pur-
chased in the public markets The
evil has assumed such proportions as
to be absolutely alarming because Of
it's influence upon the health and
longevity Of the people. It is an
evil that demands, and should re-
ceive early Legislative attention.
We cannot in one brief article con-
vey an adequate conception Of the
magnitude of this fraud, but we can
present such facts as will lead the
people to reflect upon the subject,
and indicate the necessity of it's sgi-
tation until it shall receive the stten-
tion, by our state and national legis-
latures, that it's Importance demands.
This is q question into which politics
does not enter. It is one which in
timately concerns the welfare of
every man, woman and child in
America, and should arouse such an
indignant protest as to command the
attention of the law making powers
without delay.
A few OF the authorizations OF food
may be harmless. They may not
directly affect the health of the peo-
pie, but they are none the less frauds
on this account. They are designed
TO cheaper the production of the ar
ticles thus adultersted, and they are
an imposition upon the people, be-
cause the chespened product is sold
for the price at which the pure arti-
Gle should be bought. We may men
tlon as an example of this
method Of adulteration, the mix
ture Of white corn with wheat in the
manufacture of wheat flour. This,
though it does not endanger the
health Of the people, is a system Of
robbery that should not be tolerated
in any country. 1t is safe to say that
very few of the proprietors of the
mills in this country to-day can truth
fully declare their innocence of this
form Of fraud. It is this use Of the
finer grades of white corn that cause
them to command a better price than
other varieties in the market.
But this is not the only adulters-
tiol Of wheat -four. Alum and vSri-
ous other adulterants are used for
various purposes. Mr.. Jesse P. Bat
tershall, chemist in the United
States laboratory, in his work on
FOOD Adulteration," gives the fol-
lowing test for the detection of alum
A small quantity OF the suspected sample is
made Into paste with little water and mixed
with few drops Of an alcoholic tincture Of log
wood; q little ammonium carbonate solution Is
then added. In the presence Of alum lavander-
blue colored lake Is formed, which often be-
comes more apparent upon allowing the mix
ture TO remain at rest for few hours.
This is a simple test, and one very
easily made. 1t requires no knOwl-

unscrupulous millers to this most Inn
portant of all food products rs sufi-
clent 10 indicate the Importance Of
the question under discussion; and
yet this is but single one Of the Inn
positions to which the people are ex-
posed. There is scarcely a single
one of the articles in the whole list
Of the food supplies Of the world that
can be obtained to-day absolutely
pure. Perhaps the most dangerous
elements Of adulteration are found in
those articles consisting of chemical
compounds AS an illustration, Prof.
Battershall, in his work before re-
ferred to, mentions the various frauds
inflicted upon the people in the form
of baking powders. In the list of
these frauds he places those COM
posed Of sodium bicarbonste and
alum at the head Of the list. Con-
cerning them he says:
These constitute the most reprehenSIble forms
Of baking powder. The sanitary effects Of alum
have been referred to under flour. 1t may be
present either as potash or ammonia alum.
From an exhaustive investigation Of baking
powders by DR.. Henry A. Mott, It was found
that about 30 per cent. Of these preparations
were impure, alum being the chief admlxture.
At the present time so per cent.
would not cover the proportion Of
impure or alum powders. The diff
Guilty now is to procure one that is
free from alum adulterstion. The
evil grows as competition increases,
and the temptation to buys cheap
goods has made an immense market
for these sbominations.
AS a further illustration of the ex-
tent to which this iniquity prevails at
the present time we reproduce from
the valuable work before alluded to q
partial list Of articles adultersted, to-
gether with some of the adulterants
used:
articles. Common AdltlteTdRtS.
Bakers chemicals Starch, alum.
Bread and flOur-Other meals, alum.

Vlnegar-Water, sulphuric acid.
This is only partial list but it is
sufficient to indicate the extent and
dangerous character Of this system Of
fraud and robbery, and the criminal
manner in which the health and lives
Of the people are being triAed with

amount OF it's worthless space recently
to L. f. Livingston, of Georgia, en-
deavoring to prove that he is q Demo
crat. AS the Capital is now sup
porting the claims of Democrats for
Office in Kansas, and regards the
Demo Republican Alliances now
being effected with especial favor,
one would naturally suppose that
Mr.. Livingston's Democracy would
be a source of much consolation,
promising strength and vitality to
the new hybrid in the south. We
have already indicated in former
numbers Of The ADVOCATE the newt
able future of the south politically,
and stated the precise time when that
position will be formally declared,
and it is not for the purpose of ex-
tending the discussion of this subject
that we mention the Capitals serial
relating to Mr.. Livingston. We can
we'll afford to bide our time until
February %, 1892. AS far as Mr..
Livingston is concerned, even if every
thing the Capital claims with respect
to him were true, it is of no manner
of consequence whatever He can no
more control or retard the action of
the south, or even of his own state,
than he could stay the mad fury of
cyclone, even if he were so disposed.
When the time comes for action the
people will act, and if Mr.. Livingston
and others whom Republican and
Democratic politicians choose to desig-
nate as leaders of this new movement
do not move with the great body of
the people, they will be trampled
under foot as were Hall of Missouri,
and MoAllister Of Mississippi. The
people knoaV no leaders in this great
revolution, who will be permitted for
moment to stay the tide OF public
sentiment or retard the progress Of
the revolution. The command is for
ward, and woe be to the man who
halts in the p-th and seeks to turn
the people either to the right or to
the left. He deliberately provides
for his own destruction.
The special point, however, to which
we desire to call attention in this
distribe of the Capital, is the deliber-
ate falseheod which, as is its habit, it
attempts to impose upon the people of
Kansas. Let every honest Kansan
consider the following statement in
view of his or her owA personal knowl-
edge of the facts. Speaking of Liv-
ingston's assured Democracy the
Capital says:
We regard this as Of peculiar interest for two
reasons; the first Is that Livingston put the
Peoples party on foot here In Kansas over
year ago, and In announcing himself Demo-
crat is therefore a dishonest and treacherOus
leader Of the farmers.
The Capital knows that Mr.. LiV-
ingstOn had nothing whatever to do
with putting the Peoples party on
foot here in Kansas" The Peoples
DNrtv of Kansas WAS fnllv orOaniaed

The South, IN Girl.

"Tho sung quite oft, the praries
of the southern girl can ne'er be
sung too much" wrote a famous
northern journs list many years
ago. Lovely as a cloudless day
in June, and with a heart
as soft as the de,Es that kiss the
morning rose, she is seen only to
be loved, and Lowell but to be wor-
shipped. Coy as the insect queen
of eastern spring she possesses
the modesty of tn, violet, and is
the very essence of, love purity
and truth. Fragi e as the tender
est plant, and blus hing at the least
instruction. she becomes a heroine
in the hour of danger, and has
been known to wo k miracles with
her dautless cours ge. Gentle and
caressipg when lo1 ed, she becomes
the opposite when ;corned, and her
flashing eye and qlivering lips tell
too plainly of the torn that RACES
beneath. Clinginl, to those she
loves like ivy to the oak, the storm
cannot beat wild enough to tear
her away, and whell the tempests
frown the darkest her smiles are
rays of sunshine. When the storm
cloud lowerd above our sunny
southern sky; and Iouthern plains
became the beds O.. the dead and
dying, it was the southern girl
that hoverd like an angel above
the battle field 11inistering to
friend and foe all e, it was she
planted a violet on the grave of
the blue. But GREATER still did
her glory shine whom the star of
the south went out forever and
her warrior return ID vanquished,
weary and lame. Did she drive
him from her? Far from it.
But with heroism that has never
been equaled, she cIasped him to
her heart and it wal her love and
tenderness that dispelled his drea-
ry gloom and opened to him new
and peaceful life. Tho free as a
bird, and with hea t as light, she
is true to every trust and faithful
to friend and foe.-L uling Sisnal.

There are several great water

height; one fall has clear

There are 25 fresh and constantly

and hundreds of smaller springs
besides the grand Colorado, and
beautiful San San river.
There is a gre at quantity, and
many vanities of white and

in this county.
There is just any quantity of
fire sandstone, lime, fire proofrock
and granite in this county ali of
which are highly useful for build
ing purposes.
