SEVERE ON THE FARMERS.
Dana says the Alliance is IA sOcialistic Or
ganization.

ATLANTA, GA, March 25-C. A.
Dana and party passed yesterday in this
city. In an interview he talked of the
Malta, saying that such society cannot
exist in America, Because" he said,
italians get beef In this country. They
get no beef in Italy"
Asked about the outlook for 1892, he
said: Nobody can tell. The Farmers
Alliance is an important factor in the
question. II depends on the amount Of
damage they will do to the Republican
party in the West and the Democratic
party in the South. Now, the Farmers
Alliance in the South proposes TO be
Democratic. IL Is held back by the ne
gro question. That dominates every
thing here. There is no such balance
wheel in the West, and the Alliance is
bitter against the Republican party;
they came from that party, and you
know when member of an organiza-
ton has left il he is more bitter against
it than its original opponents. If the
Farmers Alliance in the South should
grow to such proportions that the ne
gro question would be considered unim-
portant, il would then smash the Demo-
cratic party as far as it could
"The Farmers Alliance is really as an
tagouStic TO Democratic principles as
anything in the land. 1t Is social
iStic organization seeking 10 establish
an ariStocracy OF farmers, endowed with
principles which nobody else will have.
II seeks special privileges for class, and
the methods by which it proposes to at
tain these ends are as socialiStic as the
ends themselves. This plain talk is
something you don't see down there, |
suppose; the politicians are all truck
ling to the Farmers Alliance. One
thing is certain the Farmers Alliance
will run its course and die. IL is not
founded on any broad principle OF
human nature, or OF scientific politics.
Now if you can tell me which party the
Alliance will hurt the most, | will tell
you which one is TO be beaten in 1892"
On the silver question Mr.. Dana said:
I'VE have almost reached free coinage
already The coinage OF $500, 900
ounces Of silver month almOStamountS
TO that The effect of free coinage will
be to give US silver currency. We are
now on gold basis, and gold is the
standard. The substitution OF silver
for gold, making silver the currency,
will raise the value OF gold TO a small
premium. Ii was so in France few
years ago. 1t was mere trife,
only one-ffth OF l per cent, l
believe, but it was there. We are
now in that road, and we have got to
travel il. This will make gold worth Il
small Dremium over silver, and when
American importers buy goods abroad
they will have to pay the price, not in
silver, but in gold. That is, they will
pay a premium, which will be that much
added to the import duties. Free coin
age, with our mintS open to the world,
would increase this premium. A better
way would be to have free coinage OF
American silver only. Otherwise all
the old tea pots in the world would be
brought here TO be turned into dollars.

RACINE, Wis. March 25.-Jackson |.
Case, son of j. !. Case and candidate for
Mayor had sensational encounter with
ex- Mayor Secor on Main street last
night. Case asserted that he had traced
the authorship Of certain scandalOus
stories affecting his character TO Secor.
Meeting him on Main street, he stepped
in front OF Secor aud charged him with
having started the stories. This the ex-
Mayor denied. The charge was repeat
ed and again denied angrily. BY this time
large crowd had gathered. Finally
the wordy war was brought 10 an
abrupt conclusion 10y Case striking
Secor heavy blow on the chest, stag
gcring him back into the crowd. As
soon as Secor could gather himself up
he started on run down the Street
with Case in hot pursuit. The latter,
being Young and more active, soon
caught the ex-mayor and added one OF
two more blows TO that already given.
Secor, however, managed To shake of
his antagonist and escape. a warrant
will be probably sworn out.

DISTRESS IN IRELAND.

Garrison, who is receiving funds for the
relief of the starving people in the west

"A letter written by Miss Sophie Surge,
who has charge OF the distribution OF
relief in Conemara. She says: :'Eou

Mr.. Balfour has collected has come TO

they must have died Of famine. All the
government officials send their cases to

besides the priests and the doctors. The
people are clamoriug for food and work,
and we find that we cannot supply the
increasing need. We have organized
our work SO far that only aged and
those who have no able bodied helpers.
and the sick, receive food, but the in
crea,iug number Of thefe arises from all
the districts around, calling for help
also. IL is a most deplorable state OF
things. because with relief comes de-
moraIization, and the whole thing might
have been easily prevented had the add
vice of those who understand the queS-
tion been taken last year.

RECKLESS DRUNKARDs
Who Act on the Example of Young Martin
and Attack the White House.

WASHINGToN, March 25.-The arrest
Of Harry Martin, the step-Son Of Sena-
tor Vance, for breaking into the White
House Saturday night in fit OF drunken
frenzy, aud with the declaration that he
wanted to "do Harrison up" does not
seem to have had much effect in scar
ing others Of that class away.
On the contrary, the disgraceful Incl
dent seems to have been suggestive, and
the result is rush Of drunken men to
the Executive Mansion. Three were
put out yesterday. The third man was
from Baltimore, and failing to mind the
warnings OF the doorkeeper, returned
for satisfaction. He was locked up.
Young Martin, the Senator'S step-Son,
has not been tried yet. He is out on
bail, and every effort is being made to
get the authorities to let up on him, but
the President does not relish callers OF
that sort. and will not interfere with
the prosecution.

FINANCIALLY EMBAKRAssED.
The whitney Car wheel Works Troubled
With Dry Rot.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 25.-The
firm Of A. Whitney Il Son, car wheel
manufacturers, is financially embar-
rassed. The firm IS now composed Of
John K. and James ). Whitney, the sur
viving sous Of the founder. Rumors OF
the embarrassment Of the firm we're con-
frmed by James :. Whitney. Mr.. Whit
ney declined to give any details OF the
matter, beyond admitting the bare fact
He said that what details the public was
entitled to would be given out In few
days.
The car wheel works were founded
by Aso Whitney in ls4s. When the
works were built they were among the
finest in the country. An immense trade
was soon built mp and the works were in
a nourishing condition. The founder
died however, about 1874, leaving an es-
tate estimated at Sl.000.0O0, and the
management Of the concern fell To the
three sons. George, John X. and James >.
After the death oi the father it was
found that he had left large dover to
his daughter, who married Bishop
Howe. Of Reading. This dover was
secured in the manufactory. a couple
Of years or more ago it was found that
the interest on this Inheritance had not
been regularly paid, and an appeal was
made to the courts. An order was made
assessing the unpaid interest, and the
plant is said TO have been mortgaged to
secure its payment. Since 1855 the
works have been doing a fair business,
but have been gradually falling behind
the younger establishments. They have
not sold to the main railroad lines, but
most of their wheels have gone to small
Southern roads. Last year the rating
of tie firm by the commercial agencies
was cut down to between S200,00 and
$500, 600, but their credit was good at
that amount.

INTERESTING STATISTICS.
The White Population Increasing Faster
Than BLACK in the South.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 25.-Supt.
Porter. OF the census bureau, has in
preparation an important bulletin giving
the population of the South Atlantic
and South Central States, Missouri and
Kansas by races. The total population
embraces in this count is given as 23,-
s75, 959. OF which lG,s6s, POS were white,
d. 9g6. 1856 colored, aud l0,sss Chinese,
japanese and Indians. in the States in
cluded were found in 1850 iifteen-six-
teenths Of the entire colored population
of the United States The abnormal in
crease Of the cOlored population in what
is known as the "black belt during the
decade. ending in 1850 led 10 the pOpu-
lar belief that the negroes We're increas-
at much larger rate than the white
people.
The facts as ascertained sustain the
theory that the high rate of increase in
the growth OF the colored population as
shown in 1850, was apparent not real,
and that 1t was due to the imperfect
enumeration in the Southern States In
1870. During the past decade the col
ored race has not held its own against
the whites. In but three decades, that
/ is. from 1900 TO 1880, during part OF
which time the slave trade was in pro-
cress. has the colored race increased
more rapidly than the white. Since
/ 1880 the whites have steadily increased
at more rapid rate than the colored
/ people.

MoRLEY's TESTIMONY
Before Court in Regard to the Police As
sauIt at Tlpperary.

CORK, March 95.-Durilg the course
of the second day OF the trial here to-
day OF Michael O'Brien Dalton and
others, who are charged with riotous
conduct at Tipperary. Mr.. John Nor
ley was one OF the witnesses examined.
Mr.. Morley depoSed that the action Of
the police under Colonel Caddel, at Tip
perary, upon the day Of the riot, was 4
most unwarranted attack upon the peo-
Pile. The Tipperary court house, said
Mr.. Morley, was, comparatively speak
ing, empty when the people outside at
tempted to gain admittance with the
view to being present ut the eXamina-
tion of Messrs. O'Brien and Dillon. In
spite Of this, added Mr. Morley, and ap-
parentiy without any just reason, the
police on duty refused to allow even the
most respectable and well known
people to enter the court house. Nat
urally, this arbitrary conduct OF the po-
lice under Col. Caddel's command caused
considerable irritation. not only among
those who had actually been refused ad-
mission, but among all those outside the
court house who sYmpathized with the
friends OF the two persons who were de-
sirOus OF being present at their trial. In
spite of the feeling OF irritation and an
noyance, continued Mr.. Morley, there
was nothing in the conduct Of the crowd
outside the court house which could be
legitimately termed as an intention,
much less an attempt, TO storm the court
house gates.

PITTsBURG, PA, March 25.-Evs
Brannock, faith curist, and, incident
ally teacher Of music in the Bethany
Home has just finished successful AZ
days fast. This lady, who is religious
enthusiast, was struck by the fact that
whenever and wherever she opened the
Bible, there was found command tc
fast. This coincidence proved toe
much for either her superstition or re-
ligion and she began 40 days fast,
which differed from all others in that
she attended to her regular duties as
teacher and keeper Of Il certain number
OF rooms in the Home.
Her fast ended to-day, and yesterday,
the 39th day, Miss Brannock gaily
walked to market and purchased feast
which she as ioyfully consumed, and
which did not harm her in the least.
There is no doubt as to the lady's hav-
ing lived forty days on nothing but
water, as the story is subStantiated by
such prominent people as Mrs. Francis
Swift, of the w. c. r. L., Rev. and
Mrs. Morrow and other people who have
had an opportunity Of seeing for them
selves.
In opposition to this is the case OF El-
mer Collins, who tasted 30 days in a
theater here. He isno believer in faith
cure, and is now in a dangerous con
dition from over-eating.

UTOPIA D.SAS FER.
The Finding OF the Marine Court--Capt
McKeague in Grave Error.

GIBRALTAR, March 25.-The Marine
Court, which has been inquiring into
the loss OF the Anchor line steamer Uto-
pia, which sank in Gibraltar Bay, dur
ing night Of Monday, March lG, after
being impaled Oh the spur OF the ram OF
the British war ship Anson, decided
to-day that Capt. Mckeague, comman-
der of the Utopia, was guilty OF grave
error OF Judgment in attempting TO
enter the anchorage behind the new
mole without knowing what vessels
were there at anchor.
The court also decided that Capt Me
Keague was guilty OF grave error Of
Judgment in attempting to turn
the Utopia out OF the an
chordge across the Anson'S
bow. The Marine Court was also mani
mcuSly of the opinion that its decisions
given above sufficiently marked the
courts finding. Therefore the court
came to the conclusion that it was not
necessary to deal with the question as
to whether or not Capt. Mckeague's
certificate aS master should be suspend
ed or cancelled. In the police court,
later in the day, Capt. McKeague was
discharged from custody after having
surrendered to his bail, the magistrate
deciding that the charges Of wrongful
acts, improper conduct. negligence and
mismanagement made against him when
he was arrested on March 10 could not
be pressed, in view Of the verdict Of the
coroner's jury as well as in view Of the
finding Of the Marine Court.
