TO THE BRETHREN.

The Plutocratic Twins Have Combined to
Destroy the Alliance Close Up the
Ranks.
Word has been received that recent
negotiations between the leaders of the
two old parties and Wall street have
resulted in plan to destroy the ALI
ance. This determination will precip-
itate a war upon the order, which, for
cunning. mendacity and cold-blooded
calculation, will be without parallel
in history. The alliance has assumed
such proportions, and the growth of
its principles has been so rapid. that
the strongholds of plutocracy are
in danger, and hence this conspiracy
for its destruction. When those letters
from different congressman against the
sub-treasury plan appeared last year in
such regular succession, it was charged
by alliance papers that a secret
caucus had been held, in which
such course had been decided
upon Ample proof of that charge
has now been obtained. just so in re-
gard TO the meetings recently held in
New York. 1t may be denied, and
doubtless will, but time will disclose
the truth. The democratic politicians
of the south will undertake to
drive every allianceman out of
the party. This is clearly proved by
the statement of Congressman Oates.
recently published. 1t is a desperate,
brutal plan, but the exigency of the
case is thought to demand it Again,
those men that are prominent in the
order are to be destroyed. Nothing
will be left undone to blacken their
characters and destroy their influence
ayiLk the alliance. President Polk has

CATCHING AT STRAWS.

All Sorts of False and Flimsy Subterfuges
Brought to Bear Against the sub-Treas-

Drowning men will catch at straws. -
In sheer desperation men will some
times use very weak arguments rather
than yield. They will seize upon any,
thing that seems to have for them one
ray Of hope and make great fuss over
1t, and unfortunately for them they
sometimes use evidence they know to
be false. This must, sooner or later
be discovered, and then react unfavor-
ably upon the cause they have used 1t
to support A case in point is the great
hue and cry raised by partisan political
papers about the division in the alli-
ance upon the sub-treasury plan. They
first said the St Louis meeting passed
it without authority, and that the mem
bership did not indorse it. few
alliancemen were found to oppose it,
and they were lionized throughout
the country as paragons of wisdom
and heroes for principle, but after a
years discussion in all the States but
Missouri (where the state organ re-
fused to present it to the people for
discussion), the Ocala meeting gave the
plan strictly unanimous Endorsement.
1t was then said that Missouri, Texas,
Tennessee, Mississippi and all the
northwestern states were divided upon
the subject and that if it was insisted
upon 1t would split the order. Every
county and congressional district alli-
ance reported to this Office in Missouri
and Mississippi up to date has Endorsed
the plan, and nearly all have been re-
ported. The northwestern states were
heard from at Cincinnati, and gave it a
unanimous Endorsement Texas, in the
April association of lecturers of the
state, about $50 present, only lacked
two votes of giving it unanimous in

HE sua.TREAsuRY PLAN.


The Bonded Warehouse VS.. the sub-Treas-
ury--Isn't it a Distinction Without a Diff
ference?
The Farmers Alliance demand for
government loans on non-perishable
products meets with nothing but ridi-
cule from partisan newspapers. Before
going farther in this direction, how
ever, would it not be well for them to
inquire if the government is not now
extending aid to individuals on prin-
ciple of finance far in advance of that
proposed by the peoples party? If the
sub-treasury plan is open to so many
objections, by what course of reason
ing can the present bonded warehouse
system be defended? A person can en-
gage in the manufacture of spirits by
fling notice of his intention with the
collector of internal revenue of his dis
trict and executing a bond to comply
with all provisions of the revenue laws,
pay all penalties or fines imposed for
infraction of those laws, and that he
will not allow any property used
in the business to be encum-
bered by any lien. The govern
ment then issues a warehouse receipt,
which is readily accepted at the nation
al banks as collateral for loans. If the
warehouse receipt represented some
thing for which the holder had paid his
money, the case would be more reason
able, but instead it represents only the
small amount the spirits cost, with the
tax of 80 cents per gallon added, but
that tax is not to be paid by the manu-
facturer until the liquor is sold. In re-
atty, the government indorses for the
distiller for many times the value of
his product, and becomes security for
the money for three years, which is the
time allowed him in which to pay his
tax. If the proposition to loan money
on grain to half its market value is SO
utterly Ridiculous, how can it be the
part of wisdom to advance money on a
morally doubtful product of grain to
many times its cost?-New Nation.

ORANGE, Texas, August 4.-Belder
Sanders, who has just returned from
Lake Charles, La, confirms the report
OF the riot at Lockmore & Co.. g rail-
road. The last account he heard was
from wounded man who left the scene
at 4 O'Clock yesterday. He stated that
fourteen men had been killed and two
were missing. 1t was free for all fight
between the ''redbones" and the
"whites." Sanders stated that many
different reports are being circulated,
and nothing authentic could be learned.
The latest reports place the number OF
wounded at sixteen. Officers and ply
sicians have gone to the scene. 1t is
rumored that the physicians were way
laid and murdered.
Another account OF the riot comes
from West Lake, La, TO the effect that
the trouble is caused by the breaking
out OF an old feud between a band of
robbers known as the Ashworth gang,
and cattlemen of that section.
Twenty are known to have been more
or less seriously hurt. On Sunday after
noon thirty "redbones" came to the
camp after the bodies of the dead and
dispersed the officers who were at the
scene, and who are organizing strong
force to storm the strongholds of the
desperadoes. More trouble is feared.
Reports OF the fight sent last night
were OF morning fight. In the after
noon it was reported, at store down
the road, that the Redbone desperadoes
were massacring women, children and
every one they came across. Learning
this, reinforcements went up from along
the line OF the Calicasien, Vernon and
Shreveport road. In going up, Mr.. 7. T.
Swan, an old and respected citizen of
Calicasien, was murdered from ambush.
Excitement is running high, and more
trouble is expected at any time.

Michigan Knights of Labor and Other

LANSING, Mich, August 4. The gener-
al state assembly Of knights Of Labor
has been in session this afternoon and
evening. One point Of Importance was
action on the recent greeting sent by the
general secretary and treasurer of the or
der,at Philadelphia, by which the assem-
bly, was earnestly requested to take inde-
pendent political action. There was to
have been a effort to induce the assem-
bly, to endorse the Peoples party plat
form, but adverse influence pre-
vented this. The assembly finally
adopted a resolution endorsing
the action of all industrial
councils or conventions that have inaug-
urated work looking to the consolidation
of all the industrial people at the ballot
box, trusting that this great movement
OF industrial consolidation may culmi-
nate in the full emancipation of the
masses from industrial slavery. Fol-
lowing this, greeting was extended t,
the Farmers Alliance, the Patrons of
Husbandry, the Patrons of Industry,
the Citizens Alliance and National Citi-
zens' Industrial Alliance, promising
support in all well-directed efforts for
the advancement of the cause of indus
trial reform. Master Workman Allen
said the circular sent by the general
secretary and treasurer Of the order was
the first move toward the grand CO.
operation of all the labor leaders
throughout the country for the advance
OF industrial reform.

Series of Receptions.

DETROIT, August 4.-The next national
encampment of the G.. A. R. will be
held at Washington, D. G. The justice
of this decision may not be conceded by
the partisans OF Lincoln, Neb., but in
quiry at various department headquart-
ers indicates that when the roll of states
is called on the location Of the next en-
campment, Washington will get the
prize by a vote of nearly two to one.
The various candidates for COM
mander-in-chief are pressing their
claims with increased energy. Charles
p. Lincoln, of Washington, d. g.,
assistant commissioner OF Pensions,
has withdrawn from the 4 race.
AS it stands tonight, the choice
is between Weissert Sof Wisconsin,
Smedberg OF California, Hurst Of Ohio,
and Hodges of New York. Weissert's
candidacy is the only one that is sharply
defined as to the states. The west, with
the exception OF the Pacific coast, is
practically solid for him. The situa-
tion is complicated tonight by the sud-
den extravagant claims of Ohio for
Hurst, and the rumor that Illinois may
decide to present the name of ex-Gov-
ernor Richard j. Oglesby for command
er-in-chief.
The race problem still looks ominous.
and the question now is: Can this dis
pute be.settled by the encampment with
out serious disruption in the southern
divisions. The colored delegation from
Louisiana will make request tomorrow
to present their side of the case in an
address to the encampment.
Tonight was devoted to receptions to
the commander-in-chief, the Il. A. R.,

of Veterans, by the Citizens of Detroit,
