THE LATEST ALLIANCE SCHEME

THE LATEST ALLIANCE SCHEME.
Mr.. Livingstone, of Georgia, is called by
many the most brainy leader in the Far
mers' alliance. Heis out with modifca-
tion of the original sub-treasury plan. His
idea is that the loans contemplated can be
made by the government with one or more
sub-treasuries in each State, with or with
out government warehouses. He says that
if congress will enact law authorizing the
issue of notes to be deposited in the States,
and to be loaned on non-perishable farm
products and real estate, at not more than
two per cent. per annum, he and his fol-
lowers will be perfectly satisfied. They
will take care of the warehouses and all
necessary details without any help from
the government whatever. All that they
insist upon is that the amount of circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
This is modest. The original scheme
was much more extensive and unlimited
1t was first contemplated that there should
he warehouses in sufficient number and of
sufficient size to hold in store large pro-
portion of the non-perishable products OF
the farms in each district No limitation
whatever was to be placed upon the
amount of money to be loaned on such
products, except that it should not exceed
so per cent. of the market value of the
products deposited in the warehouses.
But there is little doubt about the working
of any such scheme to make people rich by
law. The Tribune puts it about right when
it says: The most needy are not as a
rule the dwellers about the cities and
towns where government Offices for lend
ing in each State would naturally be es-
tablished. The real estate spectators
about the town would have the first bite al
the cherry, and after them the spec
ulators in products who have quickest
access to the points selected for distribu-
ton of loans. The needy and really poor
farmers in the country districts would ar.
rive few days after all the money had
been loaned, and just in time to discover
that it was not worth quite as much as
they had expected.
The sooner the farmers repudiate all
such schemes the better it will be for
them and the country.

A Horse's Walk on n High TrestIe

SigAlH4C
a strange scene was witnessed this morn
ing on the Northern Pacific trestle at the
water works. The trestle is about 600 feet
long and ifty-6ve feet high. Under it is
the Union Pacific roadbed. The ties are
about eight inches apart and are evenly
distributed the entire distance.
AT an early hour the attention of dozen
people was attracted by large sorrel horse
which had walked along the trestle from
the south and was unaware of the danger
ahead. He was unable to turn around and
had fully five hundred feet yet to travel.
The spectators were struck with awe, ex-
pecting every moment to see the animal
dashed to atoms by fall No1 fully
mindful of his danger, ii was remarkable
to note the instinct with which the animal
stepped cautiously from one tie to another.
He had just reached that part of the trestle
above the Union Pacific roadbed when he
became dazed and missed his footing. His
hind foot caught in the tie and threw him,
so that the rear portion of his body over
hung the framework of the immense bridge
while he held himself by his fore feet.
The scene was a sickening one. and The
spectators looked every moment for the
fatal fall. Suddenly, with powerfullunge,
the animal threw his body toward the tres
tie and managed to regain his feet
Again he started on his perilous walk,
and when within few feet of the end of
the bridge fell again, and was caught in
much the same manner Martin ScuIly
started to the assistance of the animal with
a rope, but the horse was SO close to terra
frma that he made another effort to regain
his feet and fell to the sloping bank, lust a
short distance below. He then rolled down
the bank for about twenty-five feet. His
mouth and hoof were badly bruised in the
struggle, but otherwise he was uninjured.

DIAMOND sHoAL LIGHT.

Progress I'm the Work OF Setting a
Beacon or Stormy Hatteras.
from the Baltimore Sun
One of the greatest and most difficult
feats of engineering that has ever been at
Diamond Shoal off Cape Hatteras. The
lighthouse is to be built on the same prin-
ciple as the lighthouse on Fourteen-foo
Bank, Delaware Bay. Its foundation con-
sists of an immense circular iron and steel
caisson ffty-four feet in diameter, which
will be 130 feet high when completed.
This was built up sixty feet high at Nor
folk and filled with concrete until it drew
about twenty feet of water, when it was
towed by tugs few days ago to the site of
the lighthouse. Then by opening valves
and hoodgates it was sunk until it rested
on the sand, which is at this point thirty
feet below water. The Lighthouse board
has been notified to-day this part of the
work has been successfully accomplished.
The most difficult part of the work now
remains to be done. The caisson must be
built up, and at the same time great quail
titles of concrete and stone must be thrown
into It, forcing it down, while below all
this, in compartments just beneath tenn
porary bottom in the caisson, will be q

hoisting 1t up through a central cylinder
as the caisson sinks deeper and deeper into
the bottom of the sea- 1t is PROPOSED to
carry it down to the depth of 125 feet be-
low the water line, and then to fill the
whole structure up with concrete to the
height of thirty-fiye feet above the water,
making 1t practically a monolith. If one

that locality is so famous should occur be.

treasury by Mr.. Disraei in 1874, and in 1877 sue
ceeded Ward Hunt as first lord OF the admi-

social distinction was that of lord warden of
the Cirque Ports, in which he succeeded Earl
