THE Galveston Journal of Com
merce rises to remark, but on what
authority is not stated, that:
"Uriah Lott, late president Of the
Arkansas Pass road, and M. Kennedy,
to whom the road owes So, 500, 900, are
negotiating with the bondhold ers to
take it out of the hands of the re-
ceivers and effect q reorganization"
The reorganization of this road
would be big thing for the south
west, and for the road as well. Its
Waco extension would be built at
once aud the freights largely in
creased. Its debts would be paid and
&c, en- ADVERTISEMENTS end. 1t would be
able to undertake new constructions
that would greatly increase its traffic,
and in every way would the road be
benefited. All 1t has ever wanted
was fands, and with money behind
it IL would be q grest, boon to this
Q .ty and south west Texas.

TUECArIs OUT OF THE BAG.

Strenuous have been the denlals OF
the sub-treasury Alliance speakers and
organs that the membership OF that Or
ganization was declining in numbers.
The contrary has been asserted, that
new lodges are constantly being formed
and added to the growing strength OF
the Alliance. The president OF the
Texas State Alliance made the bold
declaration in recently published let
ter, that the current year, now draw
Ing to close. had beheld large and
gratifying enlargement of the Alliance
membership. Such was the tenor OF
all publications coming from Alliance
sources, and this matter of increase
was paraded so persistently that one
could not but have the suspicion awak-
ened that the protesting too much
might be to cover up really bad state
of affairs.
That such was really the case is now
proved by developments at the
National Alliance convention IN
indianapolis of the true condition
of the Alliance, which could no longer
be covered up. The truth came out
when the delegates of that convention
were cut down in number, which Mr..
| Macune said must be done on account
of the limited fund in the treasury TO
pay them. As this fund was derived
from per capita assessment OF the
members, the question was raised as
to why these assessments were not pald
by all of the members. The reply was
elected that they had paid. Then why
the shortage? Because-thenit had TO
be confessed-the assessment had been
levied on q basis of twice or three
times the actual membership. In Mis-
sissippi and Texas the falling off has
been most noticeable, but the secreta'
ries. under Instructions from headquar'
tiers. ii is said. made no report OF this
reduced membership, and the assess
ment was levied on the basis Of last
years membership. But as fifteen OF
| twenty thousand men could not pay as
much as had been paid by forty Or fifty
thousand, the tale had to be told-it
was told by the cash on hand-and Ii
told that the Alliance leaders had de
liberately been deceiving the public
and their followers by misrepresentlne
the true condition of the order.

DENIsoN, TEX, Nov. 1s.-The thirteenth
annual session of the Northeast Texas an
nual conference of the African Methodist
Episcopal church convened this morning in
Quinn chapel, in the presence of an inter-
ested congregation, end was called to order
by Bishop A Grant Of San Antonio, who
presides over one conference in California,
four in Texas and two in louisiana.

TWO DIFFERING OPINIONS.

Mr.. Mills favors the Introduction OF
a general tariff bill by the Democrats
atthe forthcoming session of congress
in order that the country may know
lust what the party demands, and what
its principles with respect to the tariff
are. Mr.. Springer disagrees with MIR.
Mills, and holds that such bill would
be impolitic because it could not pass
the senate, and would therefore be
waste of time. His belief is that bill
should be prepared modifying the
Mckinley tariff in some particulars,
such for example as putting wool on
the free list, repeating the compen-
satory duties on wooden goods, giving
the people free cotton ties. free binding
Irvine, free dye-stuffs and free lumber.
These notifications of the tariff he
regards as trump cards" for the DEM
ocrats to play as quickly and advant-
ageously as possible.
Doubtless each of these plans OF cam
paign has its own peculiar advantages.
The main difference between them IS
the difference between principle and
expediency. Mr.. Mills believes in
| fighting pitched battle with the tar
iffites impregnably fortified as they
are, while Mr.. Springer favors a
species of guerilla warfare and flank
| movements. not so much with the view
| of capturing any OF the enemy's out
posts, as to ravage his territory, beat
up recruits, and gradually win over his
adherents. 1t is not probable that the
senate or the president will agree to
any partial reductions OF the tariff or
| additions to the free list that may be
adopted by the house. To do so would
be to confess the justice of the Demo
| cratic claim for tariff reduction, a thing
not to be thought of. So far, then, as
direct and practical results are con-
cerned, Mr.. Springer's plan is equally
as hopeless as that of Mr.. Mills. What
then is to be gained by the Springer
plan of expediency that is not attain
able by the Mills tactics based on prin'
ciple? What in either case will be the
usufruct to the party? These are the
questions for the Democrats OF the
house to resolve after the election of 6
speaker. If Mills shall be elected, a:
seems almost certain, he will probably
frame the ways and means committee
with view to general tariff bill.

The late King of Wurtemberg inherited
the prominence of abdomen for which the

table for his accommodation.

THE Muncie, Ind, Herald in its
issue OF November IA has the following
kind words to say OF Fort Worth, EN-
bodying the impressions made upon
the mind of Mr.. F. d. Hamburg, its
editor, on the occasion of his flying
visit to the city with the Indiana edito-
RIA excursionists during the latter part
of October:
At sunset our party reached Fort Worth
in time for evening services at the churches
and a number of the party took advantage
of the occasion. Fort Worth IS place OF
some thirty or forty thousand people, and
is perhaps more like Northern city than
any place in the state. The city has much
of the push and wide-awalle enthusiasm
that builds up public enterprise and makes
the life of q place. The natatorium IS
second to none west OF Chicago, while the
street car system and stockyards would do
credit to place OF twice its size. The
writer here met an Indiana man in the per
son of J. x. Turner whom he knew when
q boy. Mr.. T. is the leading grocer of the
place and true Texan in all but politics.
Fort Worth has many charms that our party
would have liked to longer have admired,
but time and waiting train would not per-
nit q longer stay.
