WHAT THE alliance MEANS.

If Colonel Livingston, of Georgia, is not
greatly misrepIesented in published reports OF
the Cincinnati Convention of the Peoples party,
he has talked about enough TO impair his use
fulness. As president of the Georgia Alliance
he went before the Committee on Resolutions
and urged it not to frame new party until
next year, on the ground that the Alliance at
the Sonth was not yet ready. wait until
1892" he said and we will be with you,
We are really Third-party men, and want to
destroy the Democratic party, but the time has
not yet come to make it known. You know
we have to use some hypocrisy in politics"
This was a, choice and charming way OF putting
things for Northern members who may have
had some Republican sympathies. But Mr..
Livingston could hardly have expected his re-
marks to be kept secret, provided such remarks
were made at ALL and if he anticipated their
publication by anybody, he must have intended
to convince his Southern friends that he was
only "using hypocrisy" when he told Northern
men that be wanted to destroy the Democratic
party The authority for this statement is
"The Voice." and it is hardly necessary TO add
that it is not the best authority in all the world
Nevertheless, the position of Mr.. Livingston is
at any rare such that he must be assumed, ac-
cording TO his own actions and published deca-
ratons, TO be seeking by delay to gain an adj
vantage over one party or the other.
That is the difficulty with men who under
take to play game between two parties. Ne

hodv ran lruov which OF their various uuter-
ances represent their real purpose. The AM
apcs leader who tells Northern men tnat ne
really intends to destroy the Democratic party
beyond reasonable doubt bells his Southern sup
porters that he is engaged in destroying the ne
ruhIican marty. and that he will get Alliance
icl,ets started in Northern States where the
Republicans only will suffer- but VIII Dc ex-
ceedingly careful not to cause any dlssenslon
at the South Each story is pleasing TO one
set of men or the other Each side may indulge
the hope that it is going to overreach the other
and if the Alliance leader could contrive TO
get the best of both In the end and to defeat
both. very likely he would do 50 with much
impartiality.
IL happens that'ths is impossible. The Dem
ocrats used the Alliance for all it was worth
IN the last election, and secured with It's as
sistancs entire control Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives IL the Presidential election next
wear should be thrown into the House the DEM
ocratic candidate would certainly be chosen.
Having thus secured itself against any POSSIBLE
ity of serious harm from the Alliance, the Dem
ocratc party can well afford this year 10 en-,
courage the further organization and effort OF
the Alliance III NOrO1crn OudOOo, WV" w
length Of protesting that IT is designed to dc,
stroy the Democratic party little later. Colonel
Livingston presumably considers Northern Re-
pubHcans sufficiently innocent and green, and
feels assured that its lodges are not likely to
be understood.
1t is of no real Importance whether the exact
statement attributed to the President OF the
Georgia Alliance was ever made by him. The
published report calls attention to the attitude
which his organization must OF necessity occupy.
In the nature of things, it cannot be anything
else than an Assistant Democracy. If it ac-
composites anything, it can only elect Dem
ocratic President either directly or by throwing
the election into a House which the Alliance
has already made Democratic. 1t makes not
the slightest difference what the leaders Of the
Alliance pretend. Northern voters will have
to be surprisingly foolish If they fail to com
prehend the necessary tendency of Alliance
votes in Northern States. The pretence that
the same organization means to defeat and de-
stroy the Democratic party little later, whether
it has any foundation or not, does not alter in
the least the fact that in the next election, as
in the last, the Alliance can be nothing but
tool of the Democratic party.

KING OSCARS DOUBLE TEAM.

Day by day the difficulty experienced by
King Oscar in driving Sweden and Norway to-
gether in double harness increases, and were it
not for his personal qualities and enlightened
character the applicant of scandinavian royalty
would long since have been upset. 1t is i'm
possible to imagine two nations which present
a greater contrast to one another than Norway
and Sweden, or to find two races less fitted
working together in the same team. The one
is in favor of free trade, the other prefers pro-
lection the one processes democracy closely
akin to republcanism the other is distinguished
for the unrelenting character Of its conserva-
tism. The Swedes are in favor of German
alliance, while the Norwegans display the
strongest sympathy for the French.
King Oscar, who may be looked upon as the
principal and almost only remaining link be-
tween the two nationalities, is regarded as too
democratic at Stockholm, and too autocratlc
at Christiania- AT the latter place the Cham
bers are discussing measure tending to abo-
sh the power of veto possessed by the monarch,
while at Stockholm the Legislature has just re-
ected the Government bill to extend the fran
chise, and has also thrown out Cabinet pro-
posa to secure the neutrality of the country
by placing large sum of money at the disposal
of the sovereign for purposes of defence. To
add to all this, one of the Swedish Ministers
has been foolish enough to assert in the course
Of public speech that with compulsory mil
itary service the Swedes might go and talk
Swedish at Christiania" an utterance which has
had the effect of increasing the strain upon the
relations between the two Kingdoms to the
breaking point Should the expected rupture
occur it would involve the overthrow of the
Bernadotte dynasty. King Oscar shares with
King Leopold of Belgium the reputation of
being the most constitutional monarch in Chris
tendon, and it is certainly remarkable that both
appear to be in equally imminent danger of
being deprived of their thrones.
