THE news comes from Philadelphia
of great change in the manners and
customs of the Quakers. The women
have discarded their little black bonnets
and sedate black dresses with white
collars for more modern costumes. and
their thou" and thee" Of address are
as unfamiliar as their old style OF
dress. Many Of the orthodox Quakers
have begun to show a preference for
the Hicks doctrine. 1t is mainly in
the south now that the Quakers follow
in the footsteps of their old leaders.

THE ALLIANCE AGGRESSIVE.

The county organizations OF the
Farmers Alliance in Kansas are
adopting resolutions r guessing the
President of tho Alliance to call Il
convention Of the people Immediately
for the purpose of pet!tiuning tho
President Of the United States to
convene Congress in extra SESSION, to
pass Il law to issue legal tendon Treas
ury notes and loan theLn TO the poo
re at low rate of interest. Tho
Alliance people say tina: the loan
companies and banks refuse to loan
any more money in Kansas aud they
must look to the general Government
for relief.
There is not the least probability
Of the wishes of the Alliance being
complied with. The President would
rot be likely to call All extra session
uf Congress if every member Of the
Alliance in and out Of Kansas should
petition him to DO so. Moreover he
would not recommend the enactment
of law to issue Treasury notes to
farmers at a low rate of interest, and
as Congress, if convened in extra, ses-
sion, could only legislate on matters
designated in the proclamation no re-
leif would be afforded the farmers.
The Alliance In Kansas, eiated by
lis success, is asking too, that all in
debte6ness he cancelled by act of
Congress, and the people given IL new
start. That is what the Advocate,
one Of the principal organs of the
Kansas Alliance, wants. 1t is true
The Alliance does not make such de-
mand Us body, but some OF the
newspapers aud members of the party
favor it. This is anarchism, pure
and unauthorized, yet the men who
