port TO the Secretary of War, says the work

The Farmers Alliance Of South Car
olina is now on the verge of u row and
a split, owing to the growing discon-
tent with the sub-treasury fad which n
goodly number Of the prominent Lead
ers refuse to support because it ii un-
constitutional and impracticable. The
opposition to the sub-treasury scheme,
however, is not confined to Alliance
leaders of South Carolina, but also OK
lists in other Southern States. Mr.. L.
S. Hall, the president of the Missouri
Alliance, is bitterly opposed to the
scheme, fully appreciating the fact that
if it is not abandoned it will wreck the
farmers movement all over the country:
consequently he has organized within
the Alliance an anti-sub-trcasury
league which will soon have a conven-
tion at Dallas, Tex, to protest against
members being compelled to support
1t. There are other leaders who know
that the sub-treasury plan will never
become a law, but as they are demu-
gogues they indorse it with the view of
their political fortunes

Special Dispatch to Appeal-Avalanchcl
JACKSON, Miss, June 26.-The Pro-
y'essire Farmer, the official journal Of
the farmers allianceof North Carolina,
the personal property of President Polk
of the national alliance, has created a
sensation Id this state by its advent to-
day with the valedictory Of its editor,
Baylas Cade, announcing his severance
with the paper in these words: with
the present issue of the Progressive
Fdy7ner my connection with it as editor
terminates retire from the paper of
my own motion, and am led to this step
by a sense of duty. It is right that
should give to the readers Of the paper
and to the general public my reasons
for retiring. After q careful and pa
tient study Of the sub-treasury bill I
am convinced that its enactment into
law would be disastrous to the country,
and especially to the agricultural inter-
ests of the country. Holding this view
l cannot write one word in favor of
that bill. The dominant sentiment in
thealliance upon this measure is in
irreconciable conflicte with my views:
and the only manly and honorable
course left open for me is to retire and
let another editor take charge of the
paper, whose views are in harmony
with t.,ose of the friends OF tho sub
treasury BILL" i

Every man woman and child in the
South, and especially the young men,
should carefully read the speech of
Senator Walthall at the unveiling of
the Confederate Monument in Jackson.
Miss. It is the clearest, fairest and
best explanation Of the cause of the war
Of secession that we have ever read or
heard. If the people Of the North
would read this speech and give it the
calm unprecedented attention which it
deserves the idea with them that the
South fought for slavery, and slavery
alone, would soon be dispelled. The
young men of the South should be in
formed correctly as to the motive which
led their fathers to risk fortune and
life. and we do not know how they
could better obtain that information
than by reading Senator Walthall $
speech.-Etchdnge.

GEORGE AND WALTHALLs 90,
From Present Indications Both of Them
Will 90 Back to tile Senate.

Special to Memphis Commercial.l
JACKSON, Miss, June 27.-From
present indications it is by no means
impossible that George and Walthall
will be the next United States senators
from Mississippi. The hold that Wall
thall has on the people is wonderful,
and many of them have clung to the
idea that Notwithstanding his letter de-
clining to again stand for the position.
that he would not refuse if rendered
him by the Legislature. No one oues-
tions his sincerity and purpose in say
ing ne did not again want the place.
This is what he meant, as is generally
conceded, but saying he did not want it
and refusing it ii voluntarily rendered.
are two different things entirely. And
this is the way the people are beginning
to reason about, and the sentiment that
ne and George would again represent
the State in the United States Senate
seems to be constantly growing. There
are several worthy candidates in the
field for the succession, but if known
that Waltaall will not refuse the place,
most OF them would voluntarily retire.

THE TEMPORARY POST OFFICE.
Work Begun on the G Street site the Past



Week.
Ground has been broken for the foundation
of the temporary City Post Office which a
syndicate will erect for the Government. The
site is on g street. between Sixth and Seventh,
Immediately east OF the alley. The depth of
the lot is 212 feet, with frontage of 1O3 feet
inches The Government waited for some
time and carefully considered the subject of
new quarters for the post Office, finally
deciding that the proposition of the syndicate
to be the most feasible The syndicate, which
is the same as that which constructed the Inter
Ocean Building, will erect the contemplated
one in accordance with plans approved by
Postmaster Sherwood. The structure will be
strong and commodious, sx-stories in height
and large basement. The materials will be
combination of brick and stone IL will be
known as the Union Building and that part of
it which the City Post Office does not occupy
will probably be utilized by other Departments
OF the Government Postmaster Sherwood, in
order that the building may be constructed
with view to convenience both for the De-
partment and the public, made a tour of in
spection during the past week of the post
offices OF New York, Brooklyn, Boston, and
Philadelphia. 1t is contemplated at present
that the post office will occupy the first and
second floors and the basement. On the first
floor wide corridor will divide the front part
of the building. On the left will be arranged
the boxes with the city delivery department in
the rear, where ample facilities for handling
the mail will be provided with exits on the
wide alley. On the opposite side of the hall
there will be the money order and registry
division. At the rear Of the corridor the ele-
vators will be located back of which the mail
ing department will work. On the second
floor Postmaster Sherwood, his assistant, and
the cashier will have their Offices in the south
west corner. No further plans have been
made 1t is expected that the new building
will be ready for occupancy by the first of
next November The lease on the present
post Office on Louisiana avenue expires at the
end of this year.
No plans for the permanent City Post Office
to be erected on the Avenue opposite the
Star office, have not yet been prepared at the
Supervising Architects office. Mr.. Edbroke,
the Supervising Architect, said yesterday that
so many other matters demanded his attention
he had given the subject no thought. Nothing
could under the law be done until the title to
the site for the building had been secured by
the Government. Therefore no plans for the
new building would be considered for the
present.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-05-31

A SUNDAY HERALD reporter who met Mai
aeorge A. Armes asked him why he had adj
Vertlsed to sell out his business, Office furni-
ture, etc. The Major answered: eIt is irnpos
sible Tor me to transact business while uniustly
and arbitrarily held as prisoner in certain
sense. Being confined to the city of Wash
ington and fifty miles limit about it, this does
not admit of me visiting Richmond, New
YORK, Philadelphia, and such other places as
my business naturally requires me to visit,
unless on special permission. Although I
nave been granted authority to go beyond said
limits in the last case 1t took from seven to
eight days to get such authority. Under such
circumstances 1t is impossible to carry on
business with the confidence person would
nave IL not subjected to such restrictions.
III feel guilty of committing an offense
winch L regretted 1t would be different
matter, but as L feel justified in doing what
dio cannot see what advantage any person
Will gain in keeping me subjected to these
restrictions or what benefit the country will
derive from myself and family being kept
under punishment that is not warranted.''
He said he had served out over two wears of
his sentence, and has nearly three years more
TO serve unless it is remitted, and that if his
health and finances would warrant he would
nave the matter tested in the civil courts. as
ne does not believe there is any legal right to
arbitrarily deprive free citizen of his right
TO make livelihood and support his family,
unless some offense has been committed war
ranting punishment in accordance with the
law. AS FAR as court-martial is concerned,
he has no faith or confidence in the Judgment
or action of such court, as members of a
courtmartial can generally be selected by the
convening authority to find guilty or acquit,
as those in authority may desire.
III further wish to call your attention to the
fact" Maj. Armes continued ethat | have
been justified by every unbiased, honest man
who knows the circumstances in tweakins
gen. Beavers nose, from the simple fact that
did not assault him as Governor, but as
private citizen, who threw off his position as
Governor ofthe State of Pennsylvania when
he said: 4 will put myself on the same
platform with you, sir; now do your damned
est defying me to resent the insult for which
he was responsible.
u am glad to see your paper spread out as
1t has, and it cannot help but succeed in
being one of the most popular papers issued
in the District, as it furnishes the latest news
and the advertisements of the principal busi-
ness men of this community. When anv one
wishes to acquaint themselves or seek in
formation THE HERALD is the paper to rive
satisfaction"
