After q six months experience with
our citizens alliance organization, we
have learned that we need closer bond
Of union than we now possess in our
present plan Of organization.
While IL has faithfully performed its
missiOn during the short period Of lbs
existence, tho dangers threatening our
national life are still lowering over II
like an impending fate, and as the great
corporate employers Of labor are COM
bining and consolidating their strength
10 crush out all labor organizations and
10 make OF our producers and laboreTs
abject slaves to the greed Of monopoly, is
II not time that the wage laboreEs OF
mining and manufacturing hamlets, and
In the towns and cities Of our land should
unite In a close union with their true
friends, the refOrmeTs among the busl-
neas and professional men Of such
cities and towns for the avowed purpose
Of studying the questions Of political
economy that affect their welfareP
Believing that such an organization can
be now effected and that the present
condition OF our industrial classes de-
mand such a union, therefore
We, the officers Of the citizens alliance,
Issue this call for delegate convention
Of citizens alliances, to be held In the
Metropolitan hall, In the city Of Topeka,
Kansas, on the 18th day Of January, 1891,
at 10 O'clock a. M, 10 perfect the work Of
our organization and TO elect delegates
10 the national conference OF reformers,
not yet called. And we most cordially
Invite Knights Of Labor lodges and all
other kindred organizations to unite
with us In pertecting plans for the com
mon welfare Of all, by sending delegates.
Basis Of representation TO be one dele
gate from every sub-alliance, lodge or
other organization, and an additional
delegate for every fifty members. And
we would further urgently request that
each sub alliance, lodge, ETC., do make
an appropriation Of 81 for the purpose Of
aiding us to defray the necessary ex-
penses Of the convention, and that II re-

The spire Of st. Helen's church, in
the Isle of Wight, which was built in
the beginning of the last century and
shortly afterward struck by lightning,
had, as was supposed, the large bell Of
its chime cracked, as the tone was very
much mufled. The other day IA church
warden happened to be in the belfry,
and through curiosity examined the
bell. He found that there was not a
crack in it, but piece Of wood broken
from the wheel was pressing against
the edge and stopping the vibration.
This being removed, the bell, after
being mufIled FOR OF @ hundred and
seventy years, rang out merrily to the
astonishment of the inhabitants of the
town.

WRANaLING IN THE SYNOD.

The Reformed Presby to rlGn Ministers
Create an Exciting Scene.
PrrTsBURG, June CONTRARY to ex-
pectations the trial of the accused minis
ters was not commenced at this morn
ing's session of the Reformed Presby-
terian Synod. This fact, however, did
not prevent the Synod once more en-
gaglng in a wrangle that, if possible, sur
passed in violence of language and ac-
tions the wild scenes enacted during last
week. The church was crowded to the
limit.
During the early hours of the session
the scene was most exciting. The mere
mention of the disturbance created by
DR.. McAllister last week was again the
cause of all the trouble.
Ministers noted for their dignity and
spirits of Christianity went at each other
in the most scathing language and were
not a bit backward in characterizing
each others as perverters of the truth
During the debate the vast audience
was worked up to a state of highest ex-
citement. The moderator was powerless
to control the warning clergymen; his
appeals and commands went for naught
The trouble grew out of DR.. McAllis-
ter's effort to revise the records in order
that they might show the action taken
by him in his effort to introduce extracts
from private letter. A motion to grant
DR.. McAllister's request resulted in a
split, and the matter was laid on the
table It was during the discussion of
this motion that the wild scenes were
enacted. Several times ministers and
audience joined in hearty applause, and
at other times almost every person pres
ent would be in sympathetic tearfulness.
The report of the committee on disci-
pline was submitted and sustained the
action of the Pittsburg Presbytery in
having suspended the ministers at the
recent trial The committee recon-
mended that the suspended ministers and
those against whom DIR. McAllister had
preferred charges should be granted a
full and impartial hearing by the Synod
The report was received and laid on the
table for the present.

New HAVEN, June 2.-Yale students
had big circus of their own when the
Barnum parade occurred here at noon.
They nearly precipitated serious panic
with loss of life, as it nearly frightened
to death a score Of people
When the parade passed the campus
about 500 students had gathered there
with cannon crackers, torpedoes and
other implements of deviltry. The cages
ing which were the tigers, lions and other
wild animals were open, and keepers rode
inside with the animals.
AS the beasts came by the students
recklessly threw the exploding can
non crackers under their feet and pelted
torpedoes at the elephants. The huge
creatures began to roar and wave their
trunks furiously. In the cages the
leopards and tigers jumped about angrily
There was nobody who would have
changed places with the keepers. Many
expected to see them torn to pieces.
One of the biggest elephants made {
bold break lunging to one side and start

A reign of terror ensued for some min.

nected with the show attacked the ele
phant with sharp irons and he was al
last subdued and driven back into line
The students escaped during the panic.

friends and relatives, and visited Heaven

ROBERT p. PORTER states that the
co lection of mortgage statistics has
already cost s1,OOO,0O0, and will cost
$500, 900 more to complete it. Enough
has been found out, so that it is
estimated that the total farm and
home debt will reach nearly $780,
900, 900. While this seems large
amount, it is said there are not to ex-
coed 2, go, 600 families occupying mort
gagged farms and homes, leaving some
10, go, 900 families renting homes and
farms, or occupying and owning them
free from debt. 1t is also known that
the farm and home Indebtedness is in
a state of constant liquidation. Since
the matter came up for investigation
the calamityites have not been so
free with their wild statements in re-
gard to the burden of debt.
