ALLIANCE MATTERS.
coNFEEENcE NOTES.

Capt, Power estimates attendance at
three 10 five thousand.
Each of the three leading newspapers
OF Cincinnati have subscribed 825 to the
expense fund.
Music Hall, where the conference
meets, the largest In Cincinnati, seats
seven thousand, and over four thousand
on main hcor. SO there Is room enough.
The Southwestern Association has
taken tumble, and the Iron Mountain
system telegraphs that their road will
allow one fare rates for the round trip.
Six hotels subscribe 800 each. 1t is
safe to say that all the hotel subscrip-
tions foot up more than their total re-
ceipts from the recent republican
league meeting.
The present kick by railroads against
this movement Is the best thing they
could do to convince the other states
that Kansas and Nebraska farmers
realize that they have been robbed.
The convention at Cincinnati will be
looked TO as the great move OF the age,
and in future years viii be referred to
as the epoch when labor first claimed
her right Of equality before the law
with all other classes. Our Own Opin-
ion.

When democrats prefer to join the
IL ii,ii u i1ans in order to defeat the plans
OF the people TO secure relief from debt
and to regain theii prosperity, as has
been done in South Carolina it is about
time for the people TO scrutinize the
plans and purposes OF the same class in
Alabama, when they pretend to be so
Jealous and anxious for the welfare OF
the farmers, that they lesire to destroy
the organization OF producers for mutual
benefit TO themselves and the general
welfare OF the state. in order that that
class Of politicians may the more easily
contro. them. The South Carolina
episode is an object lesson TO Alabam-
ians. The intensely democratic element
Of that state fought the reforms the
farmers sought as long as they could in
the democratic party. and when they
found no hope Of success in that party,
they went over 10 the republicans and
propose TO fight in the future on the side
Of the Representatives Of trusts, COM
bines and syndieates. which are largely
private affairs for public plunder. -

Many partisan democratic newspa-
pers, since the publication OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands anti-silyer letter, are making
an effort TO push the tariff question 10
the front in such way as to have il
overshadow all other questions. The
fact is, the tariff is a tax and makes the
people pay high prices for the necessa-
ries OF life. But the plain people all
over the country know that the price is
not matter OF material interest to
them, when there is no money with
which to buy. The question Of fnan-
cial reform should and must be the is
sue; aud good citizens everywhere
should see to it that no political trick
or intrigue blinds them to the fact.
There is evidence that an effort will be
made by ringsters TO obscure every
thing else BY the tariff cloud. This
will be mainly because they are opposed
to any measure for making money cas-
Ter and cheaper for the people. and will
try To prevent prominent discussion Of
such measures. The people should see
that such a trick does not succeed.
Watch the trickster. They are pre-
pairing TO work tho same old dodge.

The alliance is studying the subject Of
trusts and combines. 1t would seem,
from the numerous schemes which have
been advanced by its different members.
Some OF these are chimerical and inn
practical, but all of them furnish the
basic idea upon which TO build super
structure that will stand and bring sue
cess. The alliance is opposed 10 all
trusts and its members like all other
people who are damaged by anything.
are lighting them; but like all other
people, where they shall realize that
there is only one successful way TO fight
them. and that is 10 fight them with a
trust, il is very probable that they will
adopt that plan. This would not be
the proper thing, but thereis so much
human nature in a man that its mem
bers may be expected to do what other
men would do Under similar circum-
stances. The alliance is for relief from
debt and redemption from serfdom. Il
has its plans adopted to accomplish
these purposes, and they will be adher-
ed 70. but it may supplement them and
adopt further effort in the same direc-
tion. So it is not improper to promul-
gate the ideas upon which they will be
founded, il they shall ever have an ex-
istence. Alliance Herald, Montgomery

The Japanese, before he could be over

Rismarck's last Stort

Bismarck's continued conversation
with German journalists still keep the
gossip columns of German dailieS full
OF anecdotes of great men the eX-
Chancellor has known. His last story
concerns Nicholas J. of Russia The
Gar suffered from disease thar his
physicians told him could be relieved
only by rubbing of the spine.
Nicholas was anxious enough to try
the prescription, for he was in great
pain, but in all his court he had no
one whom he would trust to give him
the treatment. So eventually he sent
"A courier all the way to Berlin with a
written request that Frederick William
II. should send him five non-com-
missioned officers of the Guards to rub
his back. The officers were sent rub
bed the Cars back for a few weeks,
and were then dismissed to Berlin with
presents of 81, 500 each.
In speaking of the matter to the
PruSsian King subsequently the Gar
said: II trust my Russians as long as
| can look them in the eve, but to let
them 90 to work at my own back ~
that is more than | care to risk"
As regards the present Gar Bis
marck thinks: He is man Of peace,
and wishes no war, yet | doubt that
he can avoid it, Most of the Russian
army are in very bad quarters, and
from time to time require war for a
change. 4 factor in precipitation Of
the last Russo-Iurkish war was the
growing discomfort Of the Russian
army. "
