Rapid transit for Ncw-York made visible
advance Yesterday, as the readers of our Al
bany dispatches will perceive. The Senate
Railroad Committee discussed the subject thor
oughly, going over both the Stewart and the
Ives measures, and agreeing to support Mr.
Stewards bill with some notifications OF no
essential importance. II is expected that the
bill will be reported on Monday and promptly
passed. Thai would indeed be gratifying prog
ress. And no reason is apparent why the AS
sembly should spend much time in hagghns
over the matter A Tammany Rapid transit
Commission is out of the question this winter.

ATRANsACTIoN IN PAPER.

History is precept teaching by ex.
ample" That is concise and cpl
grammatic way OF putting a fact that
nobody can deny, the knowledge OF
which, nevertheless does Us very little
good. Too many OF us want to apply
the example to our own affairs.
Like causes produce like effects. Dis
aster following upon a certain policy in
one instance should warn those who
come after to avoid such disaster by
| steering clear Of the ways that led TO
it. y plain recital OF undeniable facts
in recent and coutemporaneous history
is herein set forth.
Ten or fifteen years ago there was
very little money in the Argentine re-
public, and loans were not easily made.
The people sought relief, and the easy
expedient of issuing debt certificates
with the prestige of state guarantee
was resorted to. Two banks were au-
thorized to make these issues. An
owner of farm could go to one OF the
BANKS, and in return for mortgage on
his property to the amount of one-half
of its appraised valuation, he could OBJ
tain from the bank an equal amount in
certificates. These he sold to whom
ever he could and at whatever price he
could get. He could pay off the mort
gage, too, in like certificates, purchas-
able anywhere.
There was little or no Limitation of
the amount issued. The people wanted
lots of money, and they kept on mort
gaging their property and piliug up
the certificates. In 1888 the two banks
had expanded the currency" by an
issue of S5l4, 900, 600, and the volume of
national paper currency was inflated
from $50, 100000 to SI60,0O0,000. This
paper currency was irredeemable, and
was legal tender for debts and
customs duties. Gold was driven out
OF the country. In July of that year it
was at a premium of $500. a collapse
followed. Everybody was in debt, be-
cause it was SO easy to mortgage a
farm for the government certificates
that everybody took all they could get
while the good time lasted. Now the
country is bankrupt, and nearly all OF
the citizens are in the same fix. Times
are harder than ever.
This is brief history of an expert
ment TO run a government so as to give
everybody all the money he wanted by
keeping the printing presses at work
printing debt and mortgage certifi-
cats, based on bonded security. Men
who are in doubt concerning the pro-
priety of the sub-treasury plan may read
and profit by the reading.

pastures Of the Alliance very much to
the disgust OF great many worthy and
well meaning members Of the order.
Such is the strength of the antipathy
aroused, and so wide the chasm opened
between the conservative and the radi-
cal elements Of the order, it is ex-
tremely doubtful II a reconciliation can
be effected, or the breach closed up.
OF the thirty odd Alliance members
OF the legislature who were almost to a
man anti-subtreasury in their leanings,
| and doubtless in full accord with their
constituents on that subject, only one,
so far as reported, attended the late
Alliance conference" at Waco. That
one was Hon. Sir Miles Crowley of
Galveston. They declined to attend
what they knew or conceived to be, not
only an irregular and irresponsible con-
vocation, but a secret cabal and dark
lantern conspiracy, the prime mover
and author Of which was neither
farmer nor an Alliance man: but
shrewd manipulation OF both. They saw
the organization that had fallen into
the hands OF a few weak or designing
men, made by this local Machiavelli,
the instrument whereby he would seek
to avenge the ignominious defeat which
he and his friends encountered at the
polls last fall.
These members OF the legislature saw
that their noble order was being prosti-
tuted by the steering committee to base
and ignoble uses, and they resolved not
to witness the betrayal. They remained
at home, and are now, as has lately
been intimated in Alliance circles, medi-
tating reorganization of the Alliance.
The money changers must be dashed
from the temple, the wolves chased
from the fold, and the base coin detected
and branded.
All this means strife, contention and
division perhaps. But as sheep and
wolves could never get on together
peaceably. the sooner they settle their
disputes one way or another. the better
for the Alliance and for the country, for
the true mission OF the Alliance include
benefit to all classes.

The Legislature of the state of Texas has

THE ALLIANCE CoSrESrIoy.

It will be remembered that a few
weeks ago President McGrath of the
Kansas Farmers Alliance published a
letter warning the Southern Alliances
that if they do not break away from
the Democratic party and come into the
middle of the road" the Northern AL
iances would disband and return to
the old parties, which meant in Kansas
to the Republican party.
Recently that ukase has met with a
counter pronunciamento from Mr. Dunn
BAUD, chairman Of the central COM
mittee of the Peoples party, who de-
clares that President McGrath was not
speaking ex-cathedra when he wrote
for the Alliance, and that his letter
was entirely without authority from
the order. Mr. Dumbauld declares
earnestly that there will be no disin-
tegration OF the Alliance. no sulking
or painting. 1t is here to stay, and
much more of like character is ex-
pressed, all of which goes to show that
the seeds of discord have been sown in
the Kansas Alliance, and trouble exists
ahead.
Something OF that sort, it may be
quietly remarked, is thought to exist
in the Alliance circles of this state,
and already the seeds of discord sown
by the steering committee that
haunted the capitol during the legis-
lature have produced plentiful crop

THE LAST CHANCE,

We want to call the attention Of the
people of Fort Worth and of Texas to
the Importance Of the convention that is
called to meet in this city next Tuesday,
The legislature having failed to make
any provision for q proper exhibit OF
the states resources at the Worlds fair,
the people must provide the means for
such an exhibit or the state will have
to go unrepresented on that occasion.
1t is to devise ways and means for rails
ing money for this purpose and to ar
range for carrying out the plans decided
upon that the representatives of the
progressive men and women of Texas
are to meet in Fort Worth on the 18th.
If this convention shall fail there is
no likelihood that anything will ever
be done toward advertising Texas at
Chicago. The season is now far ad
vanced. Other states are at work with
liberal means provided by the action of
neutrality-suspicious.. Texas must join
the procession and march ir the van.
The FIRST step is now about to be taken.
Let ii be positive step, long stride,
and with enthusiasm enough to keep it
up.
Texas expects every man and woman
to do their duty, and the first duty is
that the delegates who have been APP
pointed shall attend the Fort Worth
convention with ideas in their heads
and action in their hearts.
