Altogether we regard Il AZ most Sig
nal victory for Alliance principles, e.
pecially the sub-treasury plan. We say
this not because we were on the winning
side, but as careful observer accus-
toned to weigh arguments. The audi
ence was quite evenly divided, thus max
Ing it fair for both speakers. Mr.. Hall
was heard TO say after the meeting was
over, he would probably never meet
Tracy again In debate.

men whom they feared most were the
leaders Of the Peoples party.
The whole convention Is scab and a
bastard. This is proven by the fact that
according to the Alliance constitution
the call for such a convention must be
signed by the state president and execu-
tive board. This call was not signed by
any OF these officials.
CHRONIC KICKERs-BUT THEY WILL KICK
THEMSELVES OUT OF THE ALLIANCE
CAMP.
OF course they were professedly ALI
ance men, but they were Democrats first
and Democrats last and Democrats all
the time. And although on the surface
they appeared to be fighting the sub
treasury plan chiefly, yet beneath the
surface and between the lines the fact
could easily be discerned that their chief
object was to prevent the Alliance and
other labor forces from going into the
Peoples party. 1t is very important that
this fact should be known by the ALI
ance Of Texas and Of the whole country
Consequently G we quote for proof few
characteristic sentences cleaned from the
Fort Worth Gazette and Dallas Galveston
Neavs, etc., in their reports Of the meet
ings and interviews with Its leaders.
The NeaVs says the body was conspicu
ous for "the absence Of the one e-gallouc
statesman" What does this mean but
that representative farmers were mo-
there? Who were they then?
The Gazette says: at is understood
that this convention is revolt on the
part of the Democratic Alliance mer
against the recent actions of some ALI
snce leaders," and the welcome address
of Mayor j. p. Smith makes prominen
the same fact. He "took occasion I,
warn the delegates" that the overthrow
of the great evils of the country mus
''be found with one or the other of thu
two great parties which had ruled thu
government for years, and that the ide;
of third party was delusion and th'
sheerest nonsense"
Again we quote few characteristic
sentences from interviews with the lead
ers. Mr.. B. F. Rogers said he did no
believe sin converting the Alliance int
q political party" He is "a tariff-for
revenue only Democrat"
Mr.. Thomas Smith said he could no
"see the order (Allisnce) degraded int
machine politics to further the object o
any man or measure"
R.~C. Bragg said, ~ am Democrat
always have been and ever expect to be
and am opposed to third party" Ii
the Democratic party, he said, lay thu
only hope Of the Alliance for redress o
their grievances"
Mr.. J. L. Goodman said he was 1
democrat Of the purest type" for "tarif
reform" etc.
Mr.. l. L. Moody said he was "a Demo
crat Of the strictest type" He is alsr
president of the Farmers World Pub
fishing Company, that Scab so-called Al

From the Industrial Educator (Fort WOrth)
The mountain in labor brings forth a
mouse. And the mouse is still born.
That is what the scab convention has
done After weeks of advertising in the
most prominent Democratic papers In
the state, only twenty-seven delegates
were found recorded at noon Of the first
day of the meeting, July 10.
The Fort Worth Mail says there were
$50. This is a fair sample of old party
lying.
Mr.. Kendrick, of Mcclellan county,
was chosen permanent chairman OF the
Dixon-Hogg crowd. But little was done
before dinner except to appoint commit
tees.
At pm. U. S. Hall, the Alliance
traitor, was the chief center Of attraction.
Only thirty-seven delegates were pres
ent in the afternoon.
Sam Dixon, the turncOat, was sick.
This was well, for 1t was enough to make
man sick In such a meeting.
Mr.. Hall bored for water when he told
an affecting story about his fathers
death bed request; but the tears were
not seen.
Mr.. McAllestsr, dyspeptic looking
fellow from Mississippi, was called out.
The burden of his thought was that the
Alliance was in very bad fix. 1t had
wandered from it's original purity, and
we (thirty-five in number) should try to
rescue it, $4,000, from the "clutch of
mercenary imposters." Every true mem
Der of the Alliance knows that this was
but the croak of a dyspeptic. There is
no truth in it. The Alliance of Texas
and of the whole country stands solidly
on the Ocala and st. Louis platforms. 1t
is only a small fraction of such kickers
who are bucking against the whole Alli-
ance.
But the cloven hoof of the old Demo.
crowd was plainly seen in the afternoon,
when Brother Lamb, a member of the
Alliance in good standing, tried to speak
on some question. II 1t was an Alliance
meeting, he said, all members had q
right to speak. If it was meeting to
disrupt the Alliance, its friends should
be there to defend it. This was Mr..
Lambs thought. He did not refer to
politics or parties. But Mr.. Moody
jumped to his feet and denounced Broth
or Lamb as the leader of the Peoples
party in Texas. He was very much ex-
cited, tearing about like mad bull and
making all sorts of charges against the
Lamb, who stood innocently waiting for
reply. When Moody had exhausted
himself in this TRADE more than half the
house called loudly for Lamb to reply,
but the chairman ruled him out. The
gag law being thus enforced, Mr.. Lamb
with more than half the people present
left the room.
It was then a well-known fact that the
so-called Alliance convention was q bas-
tard; called without authority; Demo-
cratic scheme to try to overthrow the
sub-treasury plan that all the Alliances
in Texas had approved. Its design was
plainly to head off the tendency Of the

is square for his party,
c. G. Bell Is "a consistent member Of
the Democratic party"
f. nj. Sellers was one of the eleven
who issued the "Austln manifesto"
Messrs. Bragg and Smith were two OF
the three signers of the cali for this
meeting.
U. S. Hall was not as outspOken as the
rest against the Peoples party, but the
fact appeared none the less in all his
speeches. II the Alliance held to the
sub-treasury plan, he thought the Demo
cratic party in the south would be de-
fected, hence he could not favor It, He
is solid Democrat as everybody knows.
Most Of the above leading members OF
the convention have been or are holding
prominent or paying positions In the
Democratic party. And these are the
leaders of the sCab convention.
Their plea that "demsgogues" are try
ing to turn the Alliance into political
party is the sheerest nonsense. Nobody
ls trying to do that. These men are the
demagogues who are seeking TO hold the
Alliance to the old party that Is already
doubly damned and dominated by pluto
Gratis. But they have woefully failed in
this their first attempt to organize an op-
position to Alliance principles.
The hand of the ,Dlxon-Gibbs- Hogg
clique was seen in all the proceedings.
There will not be a grease spot left OF
these anti.sub- treasury devils when the
state convention sets down on them next
month.
THE JOINT DEBATE BETWEEN HON. HARRY
TRACY AND U. s. HALL, OF MISSOURI
This came off on Saturday evening at
the opera house In the presence Of 700 OF
800 people. The question between the
disputants was the sub-tressury plan
Mr.. Tracy advocated the plan, while Mr.
Hall tried to prove that If 1t should be-
come law It would result In great dam
age to the people, especially the farmers
The discussion lasted about two hours
was carried on In the best Of spirit, and
as evinced by the frequent cheering was
of great interest to the audience.
The challenge came from Mr.. Tracy
and the sub-treasury advocates, and Mr.
Tracy had the opening and closing
speeches. We regret that our space is
too limited for us to give the speeches in
full.
Mr.. Hall tried to show that large
volume Of money was not needed; drafts,
checks and bills of credit and exchange
were money essentially; that II the sub
treasury plan was to become law the
same opportunity would be given and
embraced to corner the products Of the
farm that we now see, and the evil would
be aggravated. He read largely from
John Stuart Mill on political economy,
but the audience did not appear to care
much for that old English authority.
Mr.. Hall was the better orator and the
more polished speaker Of the two
But Mr.. Tracy had the advantage from
the fact that he was complete master Of
his subject, had at command q perfect
avalanche OF facts, and was the keener
reasoner. He had the right side and
knew it. And his audience knew it be-

Owen & Moore the druggists give
ter reasons why hamberlain's Cough
Remedy is the best:
|. 1t will cure a severe cold in less
time than any other treatment.
2. 1t does not suppress a cough OF
cold but loosens and relieves it.
3. 1t relieves the lungs, which is of
great importance in treating a cold.
4. 1t is the only remedy that will
cause the expulsion of mucus from the
air cells of the lungs.
5. 1t renders the mucus less tena-
cious and easier to eXpectorate.
6. If freely used as soon as the first
symptoms appear, it will cure severe
cold in single day.
T. 1t will prevent Group aud avert
all danger and anxiety arising from
that dreaded disease
s. 1t has cured thousands of cases OF
'roup, and careful inquiry fails to dis
cover a single case in which it has ever
failed.
8. 1t does not contain opium, chic
reform, nor any other injurious sub
stance. There is not the least danger
in giving it to the children.
10. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy

and aids nature in relieving the lungs,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 There will be
lively packing up of the senate as the
result of the battles before the state legis-
latures, many Of which began Tuesday,
with others to follow fast. There are
twenty eight senators whose terms ex-
pire with the close of this short session.
These include Senators Allison of
Iowa, Blackburn of Kentucky, Blair of
New Hampshire Brown of Georgia, Call
of Florida, Cameron of PENNSYLVANIA,
Eustis Of Louisiana, Evarts of New
York, Farwell of Illinois, Hampton Of
South Corolina, Ingalls, of Kansas, Jones

Morrill, of Vermont, Payne of Ohio,
Pierce Of North Dakota, Piatt of Con-
necticut. Pugh Of Alabama, Spooner of
Wisconsin, Squire of Washington, Stan
ford of California, Teller of Colorado.
Vance OF North Carolina, Vest of Mis-
souri,, Voorhees, of Indiana, and Wilson
of Maryland.
This list it will be seen, contains
some Of the strongest figures of the senate.
Some of them are sure to retire, owing
to adverse legislatures in their respec-
tive states, as in the case of Spooner and
Evarts. Others have already been
elected, while most of them have con-
tests which are now in progress
1t is the belief here that Mr., Evarts
will be succeeded by Governor Hill.
Spooner's successor will undoubtedly
be ex-Secreta7y Villas.
Blair may remain, owing to the favor
able turn of affairs for the Republican
legislators of New Hampshire.
Hampton will give place to Irby, a
Carolinian.
Blackburn, Voorhees,, Vest and Stan
ford can stay here as long as they want,
as their reelection is mere Formally
Cameron had a row on hand. but he
has adroitly profted by the recent No
vember disaster, which showed the
Pennsylvania Republicans they must
stand together or be swamped.
Altogether the personnel of the senate
will be IN eIially changed by the con-
tests Of the coming few days.

Is often found in the neglect of ones

ache is treated as not requiring much
attention; the assumption being that

that neglect are fully realized. AS a

1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve supper
tables and for the young people, blind
fold or in the dark, to pick out each straw
therefrom. Should the straw be green the
lucky maiden expects to wear bridal
wreath or the youth to lead blushing
bride to the altar during the approaching
year; but dried straw foretells to either
long waiting, possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts on the

The conversation in little gathering
up town on n recent evening passed to the
effect Of sea air on various things, includ-
ing, of course tobacco, One man told the
rather curious fact that ale is often sent
from England on Il sea voyage to India and
back, and its flavor much improved there
by. Another man remarked:
"a person who has always lived in this
country doesn't know what good tea really
is, No matter how tightly boxes of tea are
closed before being shipped here from
China, the sea air always manages to get
at the leaf and causes its flavor to deterior-
ate materially Any one who has drunk
tea in Russia which has been transported
overland appreciates the damage done by
the sea air In England, also, tea that
comes from China over Europe and has to
undergo only a brief sea voyage is priced
much more highly than that which makes
the entire journey in ship. New York
