he Alliance throughout the country. |
The evidence is developing every day, /
that as soon as the farmers-the rank {
and file who are not after office. but
practical northumberland the nature OF
this fallacy, and the harmful effects that
would follow its enactment into law to
themselves, and all farming and labor
interests, they viii shove it out in
double quick time. The whole financial
scheme of the Alliance is SO utterly at
war with the welfare of the country, and
the industrial interests, that !
it will not stand the scrutiny of the
robust common sense of the farmers OF
Virginia and the country.
The sub-treasury idea is, however,
generally accepted as the policy Of the
organization, and the Alliance will be
held responsible for the foolish and i'm,
practicable legislation it contenpiates,
whether candidates for the Legislature
iii the Valley of Virginia endorse it or
not
One anomalous phase Of the opening
hear no other than Alliance candidates
mentioned. If any of the old stages are
recognized at all, it is in connection with
the Alliance They have drifted into
the Alliance craft to save themselves
from drowning, and will use all their
old arts to swim with the current and
get there just the same, as in the days
of yore when they hob nobbed with the
boys The ways of the politician are
truly mysterious and past finding out
unless you watch him closely.
We learned few days ago that Prof.
r.. n. Pool, well-kno,5il throughout Vir-
ginia, is in charge OF a sanitarium in
New York, which occupies the whole OF
a five-story building nsar the Gilsey
House. The reasons for resuming his
treatment of chronic cases OF disease, by
the methods he controls, are, that while
in Boston, prominent and influential
banker was afflicted with eczema, and
it had so gotten control OF ms system
that the regular physician gave up the
case. Prof. Pool was sent for and eX-
amining the patient said he thought he
could help him, but to do so he must
have exclusive control of the case His
demand was conceded, and the pTotes-
sion became interested in the treatment.
In less than two weeks, the banker gas
at his desk, a well man. This so affect
ed the gentleman, that he inapgurated
movement to establish sanitariuln
under Prof. Pool. in Boston. A company
was organized with II capital OF $i,50a,
600, and Prof Pool was given $3.50, 900 OF
the stock About the time the arrange
ments were being completed, another
wealthy banker, of New York, afflicted
with what was regarded as IA ineurape
chronic disease, sent for him. He was
treated and became restored to health.
1t was then determined. with the con-
sent of all parties. to establish the SAM
tarum in New York, and that is the
way the Professor happens now to be at
the head of the establishment near the
Gilsey House.
The gentleman from whom we gath
cred the above also stated to us that the
Professor was still working on his plans
for the development of mineral interests
near Basic City-that he claimed the
Ingalls, Iron and Coal Company and the
Roseland Company, were both in good
shape, and that arrangements are being
matured for the contamination OF the
plans Contemplated in these organiza>
lions.
One important factor in the proposed
improvements, is the completion of the
furnace at Basic City. the building Of
which was commenced by the Basic City
Company Favorable terms had been
proposed by the Basic City people, and
it is said, a company has been or is
about to be organized to take the matter
in hand. Experts have examined the
ores, and claim that they are adapt-
ed to the making of basic steel, and upon
this. report arrangements are being pred
icated. The Professor is irrepressible,
and we hope may meet with the success
his energy and wonderful versatility
deserve
