KNOWS IT'S sTRENoTH.
Senator ingalls, Tells Something OF the
Force That Downed Him.

Ex-senator ingalls,, of Kansas, talking
OF the Farmers alliance at Baltimore the
other day, said: This movement is
building greater than a majority OF the
people OF the eastern slope are willing
to admit. IL presents one of the most In
teresting political problems of the coun-
try. Here in the east, where the indus
tries and employments are diversified,
Its progress Is not appreciated, and the
strength OF Its gaining not understood.
In the west, the purely agricultural Sec
ton, 1T has taken deep hold on the pub
lie mind, and the evolution is closely
watched by our deepest thinkers and
practical economists. These farmers
nave concluded that there are wrongs
existing that need adjustment The
growth OF the Organization Is not ETHEREAL
or spontaneous, but has come with a
strong under0irrent OF reason that will
ultimately land 1t on solid foundation
which will defy all the efforts OF political
agitators to shake.
81 think IL may be compared to the
feeling OF republicanism which swept
over the country from 1856 to 1860. This
result might be more quickly reached
could the west and south find common
ground on which to stand. The east
and north have recognized this all
along and have very adroitly prevented
any coalition. The sections are, how
ever, becoming apathetic alike to ap-
peals and menaces, and when one dies
out and the other is allayed we may
look for coalition that will produce
tangible results. The existing political
parties, however, may by their platforms
and candidates nominated make such
concessions to the alliance as to cause
the members to return to their respec-
tive folds with the belief that the evils
that they seek to redress will be re-
formed to their households

THE NEWS IN IOWA.
The Executive Council Investigates Rail

The Executive Council Investigates Rail-
way Taxation.
On account of the agitation for an in
crease I'm the assessment Of railroad
property in Iowa the executive council
granted hearing to large number of
the representatives of the Farmers alli-
ance favoring the increase and to rep
resentatives Of the railroads. The prin-
cipal address for the alliance was made
by N. b. Ashby. who, basing the valua-
tion OF each road upon the quoted price
of its stock and bonds, computed the ac-
tual cash value of the railroads of the
state to be S227. ISL, 736, which ii as
sessed In the same ratio as farm prop
erty, would be taxed at $Sl 800, $50, in
stead OF sac, s5s, 800 as at present. This
view was supported by Henry Wallace,
President J. Ii. burrows, of the state alli-
ance, and others. Judge N. M. Hub
bard, representing the Cicago & North
that the railroads were already
bearing their share of the bur
dens of taxation. Some twenty-five
railroad officials were present An In
teresting episode was the agreement of
Judge Hubbard, who mixes much in poll
itics, and Editor Wallace, of the Iona
Homestead, who is radical alliance
man, to stand together hereafter on a
platform demanding the enactment of
laws which compel bankers and capital
lists to pay their share of the taxes.

ALMOST A BILLION.
Messrs. ALLISON and Cannon sum UP tine
Appropriations.

Messrs. Allison and Cannon SUM UP tine
Appropriations.
Messrs. Allison and Cannon, the
chairmen respectively Of the senate and
house committees on appropria iations,
have prepared statements making COM
parison OF the appropriations of the
Fifty-first congress with the Fiftieth
congress. The statement of Cannon
shows that during the Fiftieth congress,
covering the salaries OF 1889 and 1890,
the total appropriations, including de-
ficiencies, was $s17, 1868, $50. The appro-
priations of the Flfty-frst congress, em-
bracing the fiscal years of 1891 and 1892,
amount to S9Ss, ,41O,l29. The net APP
parent increase Is ss170, 446, ,269.
Mr.. Cannon says there should be adj
ded to the appropriations OF the Fiftieth
and deducted from the Fifty-frst con-
gress $25, 321, ,907 to meet the known de-
ficiency for the pensions In the appropri-
ations of the former congress. Mr.. Can
non argues against increasing the num-
Der OF committees having charge Of the
appropriation bills, and says the system
OF distributing them among the various
committees Is vicious and tends to ex-
travagance. He thinks one committee
OF the house should be charged with the
preparation Of all money bills for its
consideration.

GLADSTONE-PARNELL.
The Irish Leaders Think They See Hope
for Their Man.

LONDON, March 19.-The Parnellites
interpret Mr.. Gladstone's speech at
Hastings as testimony to the returning
prominence and power of Parnell. Tim
othy Harrington expressed himself de-
lighted with Parnells opponents in the
English liberal party. They had been
driven at length to come out from their
secret and covert methods of attack and
take up the challenge thrown down to
them Mr.. Harrington said that Mr..
Gladstone evidently regarded Mr..
Parnell as the only Irish repre-
sentative worth talking about, as
he had not wasted many words on
anybody else. The speech was intended,
Mr.. Harrington said, as an answer to
Mr.. Parnell,s manifesto, and also as
notice TO the Irish people that they must
depose Parnell as their leader or give up
all claim on the English liberals. Mr.
Gladstone would find. however, that
Irish-Amerfcans and the Irish people
were capable of getting along without
English advice. With an amazing as
sumption OF autocratic power Gladstone
gave his ultimatum, "Giye up Parnell or
lose home rule" The Irish people could
not forget, Mr.. Harrington added. that the
man who said this had when In actual
power put their home rule leader In prison.
Upon the McCarthyites the impress
sion produced by Mr.. Gladstone's
speech is not altogether pleasant. For
obvious reasons they do not care to fig
ure i'm unfriendly criticism of the liberal
leader, but one of the prominent Nc
Carthyite members of parliament has
stated that he would much prefer that
Gladstone had ignored Parnell and left
him to be dealt with by the Irish clergy
and other strictly Irish elements. That
at present any attack from British
source on Parnell was calculated to
strengthen him in Ireland.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 19.-The
latest festivity at the white house is a
birthday party to Master Benjami Har-
rison Mckee, aged 4. In honor OF the
occasion the young man discarded kits
and appeared In o black velvet Jacket
and knee pants. In the pocket of his
frilled shirt reposed gold watch. The
guests OF honor, attended by their
mammas and nurses, arrived at the white
house at p. m. The parlors were lighted
and the president assisted his grandson
In receiving. When supper was an
nounced the president and Master Benny
marched at the head of the procession
to the private dining room. There
the youthful guests were lifted into high
chairs. The floral center-piece of the
table consisted OF two American flags in
field of green. The guests found at
their places little baskets tied with the
union colors and filled with bon bons.
There were also flower whips, the
handles wound with red, white and blue
ribbons, and fire-balls dangled at the
end in which little bells tingled as their
youthful owners played with them. Each
whip had the name of the recipient and
the date stamped upon the ribbon loops.
When the little ones were seated, the
host, Master Benjamin. gravely asked a
blessing In German, and the feast began.
President Harrison stood behind his
grandson's chair, and Mrs. Harrison
played attendant upon her granddangh-
ter Mary. Mammas and nurses formed
an admiring Gordon around them all,
while the babies drank bouillon and ate
their ice cream and cakes. The cream
was served to them In pink boxes tied
with pink ribbons. During the meal,
as well as during the dancing which
followed, Prof. Sousa aud a few
members of the band gave q musical me-
iange. After supper there was a dance.
The 4-year-olds moved through the Cen
tennial lancers with great success. 1t was
almost o'clock when the last0f the good
byes were said, Benjamin giving as self
possessed salute to his guests in part
ing as he had I'm welcoming them. He
even conquered temptation to look at
his gold watch, and almost forgot that
he had the glittering ticker at all. 1t is
| said that In another year, when Master
Benjamin can remember better his
| birthday festivity, the day will be
marked by much more pretentious eel
| ebration, probably fancy dress ball.
| which will revive the memories of the
one given at the white house during the
Van Buren, administration.

Secretary Noble Will Not

for His Neglect to Hurry
Matters.
Representative Cannon Makes a State
ment on the Appropriations
Summary.

WASHINGTON, March 19.--As foreshad-
owed last week the executive department
Oh the government Is not I'm such hurry
as congress was to pay the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Indians for the mythical title
70 land In which the Cheyennes aud Ar
apahoes have the possessory rights.
Secretary Noble, who has always been
opposed TO the claim, Is credited with
having made the statement I'm converse
tlon that the money would never be paid
if he could help IL. He did not, how
ever, go as far as this In speaking about
the matter TO a reporter. He said:
have no power to control the appropria-
fion. and do not know that will add to
my already all-engrossing duties by seek
ing reasons why this money should not be
paid. l do say, though, that when the mat
ter comes before the president for settle
ment 1t will, In the ordinary course
OF routine, be referred 10 me as
the head OF the department which
has control of Indian affairs. In
that case shall certainly make thorough
investigation OF The matter, and IL may
take considerably longer 10 reach con-
ciusion than the men who are after the
money may think absolutely necessary.
Under the terms of the act the Choc-
taws and Chickasaws are to give q
release TO all interest in the land, and
this release must be approved by the
president. Should the release be for
warded to the interior department for
examination and recommendation re-
port can be delayed for several months,
or until congress has an opportunity to
repeal the appropriation, and this, 1t is
predicted, may be done. Gen. Halbert
K. Paine, the attorney who gets such a
fat fee, doesn't see how the government
can rightly withhold the money, but he
hopes that the secretary of the interior
will make thorough investigation into
the subject, because ne believes the
justice of the claim Is plain.

BERLIN, March 19.--Owing to the un-
firing efforts of Mr.. Phelps, United
States minister, Chancellor Won Caprivi
has removed the embargo placed on
American cattle landed at Hamburg,
and Ii is likely that Mr.. Phelps will be
able to obtain the removal OF the restric-
tions placed upon the Importation of
American hogs. Already 300 American
beeves have been landed at Hamburg as
an experiment. Mr.. Phelps, at the
series of dinners which he has given at
his residence here, has given his guests
American beef, and has thus introduced
It's use In the families OF many distin-
guished members of the fashionable cir

officials are making costly permanent
improvements in the landing facilities

American cattle. The object of the
Hamburg officials In making the i'm
provements referred to, is to encour age
and develop the trade I'm American cat

Chancellor Won Caprivi is now con-

terdaY. The fact that the young man
threw chair through the picture was
easily proven, and the defense sought to
prove that the value of the picture was
enhanced by the notoriety given by the
incident. Testimony showed that the
picture was decreased In value about
half, or $4,000. In the afternoon the

who had known his family well were
