The Alliance Confederation.

The representatives of the four indus
trial organizations in conference at Wash
ingtOn-tha Farmers Alliance, the Citi-
zens' Alliance, the Colored Farmers
Alliance and the knights of Labor-have
perfected confederation with a view to
Joint action in securing certain desired
legislation. The legislation desired is
this: That United States treasury notes
be issued to replace national bank notes;
that such notes be loaned to the people at
, per cent. per annum on the security of
aOn~periShable products that all restric
lions upon the coinage of silver dollars be
removed that the Ownership of land by
aliens and by railroads and other cor
poratiOns ia excess of their actual needs
be prohibited that taxation shall not be
abused to build up one interest at the eX
pense of another that the governments
revenue shall be limited TO its absolutely
necessary expenses that graduated tax
be placed on incomes; that the railroads
and telegraphs be owned by the govern
ment that Senators be elected by a
direct vote of the people of each State
These are the objects to be labored for.
That a third party will be started is not
vet considered a certainty. Such party
might be started with fair prospects of
success ia certain localities, but it is con-
sidered better to seek to influence one of
the other of the two great parties already
in existence. If neither will second the
program me of the confederation to any
considerable extent, then 1t may be neces.
sary to think of third party. The con-
federation is popular organization. Its
sympathies are with the masses. 1t de-

may be described as incompatible with
the conservation of the government in its

The greatest iron boom, however, that
exists in the South today is in the State
of Virginia. Occupying as it does posi-
ton several hundred miles nearer the
iron market of the North, and possessing as
rich mineral products as that of any other
State, it has rapidly leaped forward to a
business the like of which has never been
known before in any department of South
ern trade.
Dozens of new towns are dOtting the
State map and becoming nuclcs of future
industrial centres that are attracting,
and will continue to attract, great vol
ume of capital from the North and West.
While pig-iron is, of course, the princi-
pal article of manufacture, there is a
growing tendency to a diversihcatiOn OF
manufacturing interests. While this is
general throughout the South, it is es-
pecially the case throughout the State of
Virginia, where marked progress has
been made IN this direction. Washington

Does Experience Count ?

1t does, in every line of business, and
especially In compromising and preparing
medicines. This is illustrated in the
great superiority of Hoods Sarsaparlla
over other preparations, as shown by the
remarkable cures ii has accomplished.
The head of the firm Of C. 1. Hood h
Co. IS a thoroughly competent and OK.
perienced pharmacist. having devoted his
whole lite to the study and actual prepa-
ration of medicines. He is also member
of the Massachusetts, aad American
Pharmaceutical Associations, and con.
tiuues actively devoted to supervising the
preparation of and managing the business
connected with, Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Hence the superiority and peculiar
merit of Hoods Sarsaparllla is built upOp
the NEST substantial foundation. In its
preparation there is represented all the
knowledge which modern research IN
medical science has developed, combined
with long experience. teamwork, and
experiment. It is only necessary to give
this medicine far trial to realize its
great curative value.

Won't Have a Justice There.

A GEORGIA DISTRICT WHERE FICTITIOUS
PERSONS OR ANIMALS ARE VOTED FOR.
ATLANTA, Jan. Il. There is one militia
district in Georgia where the people will
not tolerate the presence of a magistrate.
The office has been vacant these many
years, and it is likely to remain vacant
for long while to come. This curious
state of affairs exists in the 9O4th district
of Talbot county. Just how the pOpu-
lar antipathy originated is not known.
1t still exists, as the Official returns re-
ceived at the executive department show.
1t seems that one J. F. Marshall was
recommended by the Grand Jury and a
dedlmus protestatiOn was sent to the
ordinary of the county authorizing him
to swear in Mr.. Marshall as Justice of the
Peace and to issue his commission to him.
The ordinary makes this official return :
"Mr. Marshall declines tie Office
The people of that district think they are
better off without J. p, and manage to
have the Grand Jury recommend a
man who will not serve. If / was to or
der an election they would elect some
fictitious characters. They once beat a
man who wanted the office with some
body's bull.'

than all other businesses combined. In

ENGLAND AND PROTECTION.

Foreign testimony upon the effects of
the Mckinley tariff law is worth some
thing. 1t was to our advantage to dis
courage certain lines of importations,
thereby giving home labor and enterprise
a chance to supply large demand. The
result proves that the proceeding
was wise and wholesome. That pro-
lection here has substituted American for
English manufacture is well known in
the history of the steel rail industry.
Twelve years ago England exported an
immense quantity of steel rails. To-day
the trade has assumed almost infnitesimal
proportions In the face of the fact that
steel rails are produced more cheaply in
Great Britain than in any other county in
the world, England finds it necessary to
look to her own colonies for market.
The loss of trade in this branch as well
as in Others has caused a feeling in Eng
land in favor of retaliative legislation.
Manufacturers and wOrkmen are in
favor of such a change of policy
as would afford facilities to Eng
lands dependencies and colonies for
the interchange of products, which shall
not be given to other nations. A power
full combination of the members of the
Imperial Federation League is in process
of formation, with view of bringingthe ad-
visibility of such change before the peo-
pie. When cousin John after preaching
so long the disasters which would come to
the United States from protection is now
observed considering whether that policy
is not worth copying, it is testimony from
abroad which should cause free traders in
this country to pause in their folly.

THE PARTISAN PLEA.

The expressions which, after dehbera-
tjon and consultation, certain Republican
managers have made concerning the Gov
cTn0rS action, contain unique features.
These gentlemen, who have in past years
guarded the destinies of State politics, and
who would be willing to maintain their
pilOtage, reveal by their utterances views
Of political action which, if suspected
heretofore, have not been avOwed.
The distinctive characteristic of the Re-
publican managers attitude, after study
Of the situation, is that the Governors
action is political" That Democratic
Governor should take a step for political
effect is viewed with utter apprehension
by the practical politicians on the Repub-
can side. The inference thus conveyed, that
the right to make political capital is vested
exclusively in their own hands, is not
more remarkable than the suggestion con-
veyed by the remark of a prominent and
energetic Republican leader from this end
OF the State. Il know there is politics in
this" he is quoted as saying, cor it would
not have been sprung within five weeks
before election
The idea that there is a period preced-
ing the State election during which ii is
manifestly improper to expose unfitness in
State officials is a novel one. A close sea-
son for sUspending the hunt after official
cTookudness might be very pertinent
idea, if it did not carry the obvious sug-
gestion that the purpose of establishing
close season is to preserve the game hunted
from extinction.
Even this feature of the situation is not
more unique than the manner in which the
mind of aIiOther political leader from the
Eastern part of the State, who has been
famous for his optimistic politics, came to
be enlightened Two days failed TO bring
any clear comprehension of the matter to
this politician; but on Monday, aftera con-
ference with Senator Quay, he was en-
abled to declare Governor Pattison's
action as clearly partisan" All the Re-
publican leaders, from that time out, were
fully informed that the investigation is
partisan function of the Democratic Gov
eTnOTl
All of which makes one point decidedly
emphatic If the Governors action Is par
tisan, our Republican friends can render it
nUgatory, or rather turn it against him. by

THE HENNEPIN CANAL PROJECT.

One of the greatest contests OF the next
Congress will be over the Hennepin canal,
for which Government aid is asked
Already the railroad magnates are pre-
pairing for the fray, and will defeat the
proposition if it can be done by any
possible means. This project has long
been knocking at the doors of Congress,
but twenty years of defeat have not
dampened the ardor of the agriculturlsts
of the West They are to-day busy in
preparing the way for another battle, with
more assurance of success.
Opposition from the railroads comes
from the fact that the opening of the
waterway means the lowering of freight
rates to what they consider ruinous prices,
or else the loss of the entire carrying OF
crops. They say that railroad cannot
carry freight at less than O.5O cent per
ton mile while the canals have been doing
it proftably at 0.3O cent and lakes at O.OS.
To compel them TO compete with these
rates would, they say, be ruinOus in the
extreme, and they urge that the Govern
ment has no right to eXpend its money In
an enterprise which will cause the failure
of those agencies which first developed
and opened the country.
On the other hand producers are labor
ing to send the cereals of the Mississippi
and Missouri river valleys to the seaboard
at the lowest possible cost of transporta-
ton. Their position is strong one; but
their case is made stronger by the fallacy
of the railroads mems attitude. The fact
is that the business of the country is in
creasing so that the railroads are now in
adequate to its prompt transaction; and
this condition will grow in place of abat-
ing. The time will come when the rail-
roads will be mostly occupied in carrying
the finer grades of freight But apart
even from that there is no obligation on
the country to guarantee forever the keep
ing up of such charges on transportation
as are needed to pay dividends on the i'm
menSe volumes of water which enters into
the capitalization of most of the railroads.
