VtRatNtA's STATE MEETING.

VIRGINIAB STATE MEETING.
A Richmond dispatch says: The Vir-
ginia Alliance State convention will meet
at Richmond August 18th and not on the
14th, as has been stated SO often in print.
The question of agreeing on bill for the
creation of a railroad commission prom
ises TO be one of the most Interesting
topics to be discussed. The free cfinage
of silver is, however, almost sure to
occupy the most prominent place among
the subjects considered. 1t is believed
that the planks of the Ohio Democratic
platform on this subject may be urged
upon the convention for adoption. The
idea withsome is that having met with
the approval of the leaders in Ohio and
other states, it can probably be pressed
with more certainty of approval than
brand-new one. Some of the Alliance
leaders are outspoken and fearless. in
advocacy of the, adoption by the con-
vention of strong free.coinage resolu-
tons, whether they be the Ohio idea or
some other equally as comprehensive in,

The Galveston CTex.) Nesos says: at
is refreshing to note from time to time in
the utterances of the labor organizations
or of their recognized representatives a
dawning sense that the true remedy for
the economic evils of which they COM
plain is to be found in the widest econo-
mic liberty equally for them and for all
other classes and conditions of society.
Light has long been shining in the midst
of sort of systematic and incorporated
darkness impenetraole to its rays and
intolerant of its intrusion. At
last, however, it may be hoped that this
darkness will be dispersed or wi i cease
to be followed by millions as misIead-
ing pillar of cloud floating over mirages
and morasses of essential fallacy and
fatal impracticability. Let sincere, cap
able and studious leaders of labor, orga-
nized for political action. manfulIy
marshall their followers for final depar-
ture from every rut and every trend of
protective and prohibitory paternalism.
and strike out in a campaign for the ac
complishment of economic liberty"

The National Economist says:
''The order need have no concern
about the recent anti-sub- treasury meet
ing held in Fort Worth, Texas. The pa
pers that are trying to produce discord
in the Alliance made great fuss over it.
They inaugurated it for that very
purpose, and therefore had to
make "a fuss over it, but
it was great failure. It has, how
ever, demonstrated one thing that will
delight all true Aliianeemen, and that is
that they might rake Texas with a, fine
tooth comb aud they could not find inc
hundred Ariancemen in good standing
who would be willing to go back on their
obligation and fight the Ocala demands.
When such are found they are generally
renegades, who, claiming membership,
are using that claim to help the enemy
produce discord in the order.''
