The Horrible Fate That Befell San
Luis ObispO Man.
SAN LUIS OBIsPo, April 20.-The corpse
of Charles French was discovered Sat-
urday afternoon under circumstances
showing slow lingering death. French
was living alone upon his claim. about
three miles east of Pozo, in this county,
and was missed from his cabin about
eight days before the discovery of his
body. Search was made without sue,
his body pinned to the earth by a tree
which he had felled, and which had
fallen across his thighs, preventing any
movements. He had evidently worked
and struggled desperately, but vainly,
to release himself with his knife. He
had dug away at the hard earth, and
his torn and bloody nails showed the
terrible efforts he had made.

4 Lively Stir in Alliance Circles.

A special from Topeka, Kan, says -
IA sensation has been caused in Alliance
circles In this State by the publication OF
open letters from w. A. Harrison and C.
W. Shum, prominent. leaders in the peo-
pies party, protesting against the sub
treasury scheme. Harris is regarded az
the safest leader in the Alliance, and would
have been elected United States Senator
in place of PETER, had he not been q Con-
federate colonel. Shum was the psople"
party candidate fog Lieutenant Governor
last fall. The sub-slligpce throughout
Kansas this month will vote on the sub
treasury scheme to decide mia:her it si;all
ba Incorporated in the people ATTY plat
form, and Indications now are that il will
be defeated. Frank McGrath, president of
the Alliance, who has been warm in it's ad
vooacy, has now come out openly against
the sub-treasury scheme, and big fight is
looked for when the annual meeting OF the
Alliance occurs II September. Colonel
Harris declares that, s'After a brilliant
victory had been won by the Alliance, the
so-called sub-treasury scheme was brought
forth. The scheme, in it's essential features,
is modelled after all most vicious and cor
rupG practices which we had condemned,
patterned after the illegitimate loaning of
money by the Government to national
banks and to railroads, and the ware.
housing and storing of goods for importers
and distillers; the scheme to tax the many
for the benefit of the few and of even the
most doubtful benefit to these few,
He says that substantial business men
all over the country have unanimously pro-
tested against it, and that it is certain to
bring about complete overthrow of the
peoples party if it is not at once abap-
doied.

The South and The Third Party.
The Charlottesville Chronicle says:

The Charlottesville Chronicle says:
Ga third party in Virginia, or in any one
of the Southern States, means the division
of the a0hites and the triumph of the Repub,
licdn party. It can mean nothing else, and
this, too at time when we have Just es-
capped the horrors of the force bill, ana es-
capped it solely by the efforts and strength
of the Democratic party. Strike that party
down next year, and the incoming admin.
istration, and the incoming Congress will
as surely pass the force bill, as the sun will
rise and set on the morrow. What is the
situation? The force bill passed the House
of Representatives last winter and failed OF
passage in the Senate by one vote. Har-
rison sat In the White House ready and
eager to sign it. Never did people make
so narrow an escape from destruction.
Harrison still favors the bill, aud 10 is
likely to be the candidate of his party in
1892. Every Republican State Convention
which has met since last winter, including
those of Ohio and Iowa, within the last few
weeks, have endorsed that infamous meas
ure and pledged the party to its passage.
There can DO no doubt that the national
Republican convention will also endorse
the bill and authoritively commit the party
to it. Under these circumstances the vic
tory of the Republicans next year will be
an endorsement By the people of this meas
ure SO pregnant with woe and sorrow to
the Southern States. And what is to pre-
vent this triumph Of Rapublicanisn and OF
the force bill if the Democratic party il
struck down in the house of its friends?
What will it avail the farmers of the
South if they gain tariff reform, free silver,
sub-treasuries, governmental loaus, and
everything else they are olamoring for il
their States are throttled by the armed
hand Of the federal government, and their
State trea suries turned ever to the lowest
of mankind?"
