THE SUPREME COUNCIL.
A REVIEW OF SOME OF THE PRO-
CEEDINGS.

1t Was n Great Harmonious Meeting and
It Augurs Well for the Future-SOme
Of the Important Measures Before 1t.
The third annual meeting of the su-
preme council of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union of America is n
matter of the past. Thirty-six states of
the American Union were represented by
men who commanded the respect and
admiration of the people among whom
the meeting was held. In truth, the
press of the city of Indianapolis got
squarely caught one time. The general
press is at times quito enterprising, and
this was time when the city press
hustled itself and, as it thought, got
ready and was fairly "laying for the
Alliance representa- tives. The most ex-
aggerated caricatures of the sturdy
American farmer had been prepared
and were lying in the offices of the pa
pers ready to be "run in" to show the
public how the Alliance people appeared
and to show what manner of men they
were.
All these caricatures were the product
of the vivid imagination of the city
press, and to say this same press was as
tonished when the Alliance delegates
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1891-12-08

stormed the city expresses it but mildly
The prepared caricatures cost money,
however, and were too valuable to be
thrown away, so they were used with
something like the following inscription
under them: This is how some people
seem to think the Farmers Alliance
looks. See genuine article elsewhere. !"
Elsewhere" were handsomely executed
photos of large number of representa-
tive Alliance men, whose faces were as
intelligent looking as those of the dele
gates to any convention ever assembled.
The press humbly acknowledged that
the delegates were not the men who were
expected, and then eulogized the men
whom it was intended to ridicule. Such
an occurrence as this ought to serve to
awake the general city press to the fact
that city people do not yet know the
caliber and intelligence of the men who
are demanding reformatory measures
for the good of the country. The city
people cannot he fairly blamed for this,
inasmuch rs city papers have systemat-
ically and persistently misrepresented
the Alliance, its members and its pur-
poses. and the views of city people ars
largely derived from the papers they
read.
1t required some time for the body to
settle itself to work, and first among the
important business was the election of
officers. This was disposed of without
trouble. l.. l.. Polk was reelected presi-
dent by reclamation amid boundless en-
thusiasm. II. l.. Loucks, of South Da-
kota, was elected vice president; j. II.
Turner. secretary and treasurer, and j.
r. Willitts, of Kansas, national lecturer.
R.W. Beck. of Georgia, and M. d. Davie.
of Kentucky, were elected as members
of the Judiciary committee. and A.
Wardall was reelected member of the
national executive committee.

sion and every action showed that the
unity on the Alliance demands was COM
plete. And cordial and genuine fra
ternity was shown i'll other ways, for
when resolution was offered favoring
the pensioning and paying pensions to
honorably discharged and disabled Union
soldiers, and favoring that the pension
bureau be separated entirely from poll
tics, it was Endorsed and adopted by a
unanimous vote.
The delegates were very largely men
past the medium of life; men who have
had time for experience and mature
thought; men who can and do command
respect and attention, and all their &C
tons were characterized by caution and
earnestness. Some younger members
chafed under what they thought to be
want of aggressiveness in the elderly
contingent, but their hope for success of
the Alliance and reform is as bright as
ever, and they will not relax their efforts
to see their hopes realized.

although there is more whaling bu siness
transacted in San Francisco than all the
other ports combined. This is due to the
fact that twO-thirds Of the fishing is in the
Pacific Ocean.
The vessels employed in the whaling
fisheries are as rule not remarkable either
for beauty or speed, and most OF them being
built in the early part Of the century re-
miCd an old salt of the ships in which dar-
ing mariners sailed from Old World ports
t. discover new countries.
The idea of employing steam vessels in
whaling is of recent date, and even now
steam is only used as an auxiliary to take
the ship into and out of port, and In push
Ing her through the ice.
But in open water the vessel relies en-
tirely on her sails. Even In this age OF
steam only ten Of the whaers are fitted
with steam, all the others being sailing ves-
SplS The crews vary in number from u to
80 men, according to the size Of the vessel
and the number of boats carried, and are
composed of men who have spent most of
their life in steering plOw on ranch. No
one on board a whaling vessel except the
officers is sailor. Practical seamen are
not wanted, as they will not submit to the
hard work in the boats, nor to the abuse
which the greenhorns have to put up with.
Besides whalers are the worst paid of all
who follow the sea for a livelihood, because
no matter what lay or percentage OF the
the trip may have been, by some mysterious
manner of figuring up the results OF the
catch the men never have more than few
dollars due them when they are paid OFF In
tact it is no uncommon occurrence for
vessel to return to port with every barrel of
oil ana pound of bone she can carry ana the
crew to find themselves barely ont Of debt.
Whales are also becoming scarce and are
harder to find than in former years, and it
is nothing uncommon for a yes sci, whether
steam or sail, to return to port at the close
Of the season without having captured
whale. In this respect the bark Helen Mar
has been most unfortunate, not having
taken a whale Of any nd for three seasons
in succession. 1t is expected that at least
half of the fleet IN the Pacific will close this
season without having taken enough oil to
pay expenses.
In the days gone by and not many years
ago either, many whales were found off the
coast Of California, and the task OF filling
whaler with oil was a very easy matter
But the big fish were hunted 81 persistently
that what are left of them have in most
most cases sought refuge in the far north,
where the ice offers secure protection many
mo- tbs in the year. The result is that the
profits Of the industry have been vastly re-
duCed while the expense has increased 10
more than double what it was.
In the days when whales were plentiful
the crews relied on the old iashiOned bar
poOn and lance with which to capture aud
kill them, and the result was not always
satisfactory, as many fine fish was lost,
even after several harp0ons had been driven

OF THE SEASON.
Return of the Emma F. Herri.
man From Behring Sea.
The American Whaling Fleet-scarcity Of the
Cetacean-Bomb-Guns and Harpooning.
The Helen Mars Bad Luck.

The bark Emma F. Herman arrived in
port yeserday, and is the first of the whal-
ing fleet to return from Behring Sea. Her
seasons cruise has not BEEN a very success
full one. She brought back eighty barrels
of oil and 1900 pounds of bone. No very
bad weather was experienced during the
cruise, but she had rather hard luck with
her crew, as no less than fourteen men de-
serted her at various points, and she also
lost one of her boats, the crew of which es-
capped to st. Paul. as previously reported in
THE CALL.
Her captain reports having spoken the
whaler Alaska with seven whales, the
Lydia with five and the Stamboul with four,
prior to September 10TH. The Herriman's crew
are thoroughly disgusted with their hard
luck, and the men say they had hOodoo on
board in the person of Andrew Thompson,
a colored man, who was two seasons in the
bark Helen Mar. This is Thompson's third
season whaling, and during all that time he
has only seen one whale captured. Thomp-
son says he will try some other way of
making a living, at the same time changing
his name, and see if that will bring him any
better luck.

into him, and many Il boat has been
smashed by the tail Of the monster as the
men hauled alongside in order to drive the
long keen lance into its vitals. The weapon
most In use at the present day is the bomb
gun, a terrible weapon i'll the hands of an
experienced whaler.
This is a short heavy gun with large
bore, and capable of firing bomb into the
creatures vital parts, where it explodes,
tearing the insides of the big fish all to
pieces. One shot from q bomb-gun well
aimed is generally sufficient to kill the
largest whale that swms the ocean, and it is
very rarely that fish escapes once the boat
comes within range. The bOmb-gun is used
in the capture of both the sperm and right
whale, and the method of trying out the oil
is the same In both cases.
The boats used to-day are the same as
those used fifty years ago, and are noted the
world over for their speed aud sea-going
qualities. Several firms on this Coast build
them, but the New Bedford built boats are
said to be the best and are preferred to all
others. They are shipped to San Francisco
by way of Cape Horn, and nearly every
snip that arrives from New ork has sew
eral of them on board.
The scarcity of the fish and the difficulty
of capturing them has caused the price of
whalebone TO increase steadily year by
year, until to-day it has reached a point
that was never dreamed OF by whaers q
few years ago. In spite of the vast expanse
of ocean in which they live, the leviathans
have been hunted so persstently that In a
few years the business will cease TO pay
and whaling will be hing of the past. II
is hardly likely, however, that the big fish
will he entirely killed, as the buffalo has
been on the continent of North America,
owing to the different conditions under
which they exist.

" FIXING" A COURT.
A Remarkable Case on Trial Be-
fore a Justice.

One Of the most sensational cases that has
ever been tried in Justices court in this
city is being heard by Justice Campbell. The
plaintiff is Fl. H. Lowenthal, an attorney
who is suing Herman, Max aud Jaae Cohe
to recover $50, which he loaned them on the
18th of November.
The defendants answer that Lowenthal
was employed as counsel for Max Cohen,
who was prosecuted for several feonies be-
fore ex-Poice Judge Lawler. They aver
that Lowenthal promised to secure Max j
release on bail and his final discharge if
they would give him S25 and pair Of shoes
worth SO. They also say that they gave
Loweuthal S6j, suppOSiCg that he would
use the money to fix" the Court. Tnen
they obtained the $50 from LOwenthal,
which he is trying to recover. Judge Law
Ter dismissed tile charges against C0hea.
A large number of witnesses was exam
ined in the case Yesterday afternoon Her
man Cohen testified that be had told re-
porter that Lowenthal had offered to take
the case for S75, as that amount would be
necessary to have it fixed. The statement
he said was true.
Meyer Cohen, Max's father, testified that
when his sJn WAS arrested he went u
LOwenthal and asked him what he would
take the case for. The attorney replied
that he wanted $40. but he finally con-
seuted to take S25 cash and pair Of shoes.
LOwenthal tol1 him that it was necessary to
pay Police Judge Lawler to fix the case.
This statement sent buzz of excitement
through the crowd of auditors. and the
Court reminded the witness that he was
under oath, and that to confess that he had
bTibed Judge was very serious matter.
He also told Cohen that he WAS not obliged
to give testimony that would criminate him

Lowenthal said that $50 would have to be

stand and asked what lie knew about At

the attorney for seven years, and he con-

the further hearing Of the case until TO-
