The Farmers' Alliance in Missouri is Ii

The Farmers Alliance ia Missouri is III
vided. The more reasonable part met IN
st. Louis Sept. 10Th and wisely declared
against the sub-treasury, the land loan, and
the government ownership of railroads;
steamboats, and telegraph schemes. and
called upon those of their order throu ghous
the country to follow their example. Light
ia slowly bus surely bree king in upon the
Alliance, and either better men will soon be
at it's head or it will wither and fade away.
That the latter fate is not outside the
bounds of probability is made evident by
the fact that the Woodside Alliance, OF
Alabama, has just disbanded, for the reason,
as set forth, "that selfish demagogues and
hungry cffice-seekers have diverted the
organization from its original purpose and
prostltuted it to their own personal az
grandizement ard to satisfy their political
aspirations. "-Aler. Gazette.

Do THE EXPLOSIONS OF CANNON PRO
DUCE RA1N2-The Staunton Spectator
doubts the fact that rain can be pro duced
by great cannonade, and the consequent
conclusion of the air, and cites the battle
of Gettysburg as an instance when furious
caanonade did not produce down pour
Charlottesville Chronicle.
We did not know whether there was a
rain at the battle of Gettysburg or not, bat
having been told by soldier, of whom VIC
asked the question, that there YVES n5t, ~e
stated that we 'believed there was no rain"
at that time. We were anxious to learn
that fact, and that was one of the objects
we had in lew when we wrote the article
referred to by the Chronicle. Our argument
was this-that il there was a rain, it did
not follow that the rain was caused by tbs
battle; but that if there was none, it was a
negative pregnant which would prove that
the theory of causing rain by firing cannon
on the earth was false, for if true, tine o
should have been violent down pour OF
rain on that occasion.

The Followers of Mah0ns.

The Valley Virginian pays ia respects
not only to Malone, but to his folio wers, and
it says, "Ths more slavish the tool, the
more he is in favor with Malone" The
Vrginian says:-
"He [Mahone] is an absolute autocrat in
the party, and knowing this he vii retain
his place as Chairman, in order to make a
show in the next National Convention, In
the ultimate hope of securing Cabinet Of
fee, should the next President be Rspub-
lican. There is nothing SO dear to Malone
as power. He loves it for the opportunity
it affords of showing his utter seliishness in
it's exercise. The more slavish the tool, the
moro he is in favor with Malone. He
selects the nost pliable and unresistiug as
the subjects Of his favor; and nothing SO of.
tends him as fearless, independent, we'll.
meaning man, who will not bow to bis yoke.
And the effect of his management is illus.
trated in the abiect surrender he has made,
in the face of the whole country, and his
practical acknowledgment, that he could no.
make creditable showing at this polls, in
q general State election"

HARRISBURG, Sept. 19.---The legisla-
tive Commute for the investigation of
the states fiscal methods held meeting
yesterday, at which communication
was read from Professor s. W. Bell, Of
the Farmers and Mechanics bank, Of
Philadelphia. suggesting that the state
treasurer's salary should be Gee, 900 a
year, and tlat he should give bond for
81 600, 900, the surety to be trust COM
pany and the cost to be borne by the
state, that person should be denom-
mated to countersign all checks and
make daily report to the seci etary of
the commonwealth of the condition of
the treasury, and that the treasurer
furnish a list of his depositaries to the
same for approval.
Several presidents of banks and trust
companies testified that they had de-
posits of state funds, but had paid no
interest thereon, and had contributed
nothing for the favor to the state treas
urer. President Jennings, of the First
National bank, and President Bomber
ger, of the Mechanics bank, admitted
having contributed to campaign funds.
They never solicited state deposits, but
said they rather expected 1t when they
went upon State Treasurer Boyers
bond.
