are uumistRIablc evidences that the art Of

prehistoriC times the knowledge OF which had
been swept away in the wreck Of empires and

The originals Of tho stupcndOus and elaborate

gested by cmigants from older and distant
ceuters of civilization, and certain anaoglcs
between them and those of the Old World lndl-
cate beyond all dispute that ia prehistoric

A tabular view Of n number Of words in the

THE SUB-TREASURY PLAN.

There is something funny about the
Sub-Treasury plan, says the Alliance
Tribune.
Did you see it? 1t has ~occasiOned a
great deal Of CHATTER both North and
South. Did you hear it? 1t has I'M
hOrsed Senators and transformed
hitherto solid States from one political
party to another. Did you feel it? 1t
has been thoroughly discussed from
the standpoint of the farmer in every
Alliance Of the South and unanimously
adopted. Did you know it? 1t has
drawn the hottest fire from the pluto
cratic press and all the powers Of the
D~IutocTatic devils have been exerted
against it both outside and inside the
Alliance. Did you smell it?
The plutOcrats straight outside the
Alliance, and the plutOcratic lick-spit-
ties inside the Alliance have shed
rivers of crocodile tears over its i'm
Dracticability,' and poured out all
their Walls Of wrath and scOrn upon it
and its advocates.
Now what is this poorlittle thing, and
what would it do if it had & chance:
Strinped Of all excessive or technical
yerbiage and detail the plan IS simply

OFFICERS AND MEMBERS
OF SUBORDINATE ALL
ANCES IN N. G.

At a regular meeting Of Bakersville
Alliance, No. 712, held July 18th, 1891,
the undersigned were appointed a
committee to solicit aid from SubOrdi-
nate Alliances for Il brother Reuben
6. Wilson. who is an active and
worthy member Of this Alliance. Bro.
Wilson lost his dwelling house and
kitchen by fire in November last, to-
gether with nearly all his household
and kitchen furniture, clothing, etc.
His loss is from 81, coo to 81, POO. He is
a poor man and the loss to him is very
great. He has been trying to rebuild,
but having his family and an aged
father to support, finds himself unable
to rebuild without help. We therefore
appeal to the Alliances throughout the
State to help brother Wilson in his
time of need. Any amount, however
small, VIII be thankfully received by
him and especially appreciated by
Bakersville Alliance, which has always
been prompt to respond to similar
calls, but has never heretofore asked
for aid outside of its own county.

When the car travels in Russia the pre-
caution taken for his safety could not be
greater we're he in an enemy's country. A
battalion of infantry is detailed for every
two mites Of distance, and
allowing 500 men as the
strength of each battalion, every spot of
grould on both sides of the track is covered
by sentinels within easy distance of each
other The car Is suddenly whirled off to
the station accompanied by the chosen
twelve of his body guard, without pomp
or circumstance, swiftly and silently. Tue
car always travels in a train of five car
riages. His carriage is built in a peculiar
way.
The windows, while ample for light, are
high, 80 that person sittiug down is invisi.
ble from the outside, and the sides of the car
are fortified with plates of steel concealed in
the ornamental woodwork, but amply
strong to resist bullet. There are two
sentry boxes in the carriage, one at each
end, and each looking out at an opposite side
from the othera J he guardsmen on duty in
these apartments are shut in from any
observation Of the interior of the carriage,
but at Intervals of about two feet the whole
length of the saloon are electric but tons
communicating with the guard chambers,
as we'll as with the two carriages, one con-
tanning the suite and the other in the rear,
occupied by the guardsm en not on duty So
far as the train itself is concerned, the car
could be no more secure in st. Petersburg.
The train speeds on to its destination
without halt, except on account OF acct
dent. At a distance OF not less than five
miles ahead is a pioneer train, which the
imperial director of railways and the chief
engineer OF the particular railway on which
the car Is travelling always ride. AS the
pilot train whlzzes by the reserves along
the line rush to arms and guard the sides of
the railway, waiting until the imperial
train has passed so that the spectacle is
presented of continuous lines OF soldiery
for hundreds of miles. Arrived at the end
OF his journey, the car Is escorted to the
quarters intended for the imperial family
The streets are guarded by special consta-
bles 10 the attire of citizens. Every prop
erty owner has been called upon to supply
one or more Of these men at his own ex-
peuse to do duty when the sovereign makes
his appearance. The constables average
one in ten of the crowd that throngs the
streets. and being In ordinary dress they can
miDgle with the people. note what is said,
and, perhaps, do something that will obtain
them regular employment among the secret
police. With one-tenth the population en-
gagged as spies upon the remainder. with
troops enough concentrated to stand a form
liable siege, and his faithful guardsmen
doggiug every step, the car goes through
the forms of visit to the ancient capital
of Russia, or whatever city he may choose
to honor.
