WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 12.-Col-
onel L. L. Polk is in Kansas, but DIR.

Signs the big leaders
of the Alliance do not hold the menu
bership in a sling. The president OF
the Kansas State Alliance in a pub
Tic speech has repudiated the dOct-
rines taught by PETER and Simpson.
1t is reported that tEirty-six out of
fifty alliance members-of the Tennes-
see legislature are opposed to- the
peoples party, and nof'o avowed-
ly favOrs either that organization or
the Ocala platform. This reportmay
go too far, but. it is probably mdica-
tive of the drift of opinion there. la
South Carolina open war iswaged be-
tween Governor Gilman and some of
the other Alliance men.! The effort to
unite the farmers movement upon
the sub-treasury plan has not prov
en- success. The third party pro-
ject has also divided the farmers. In
some Alliance States the disposition
to Organize the" so-called peoples
party is very strong, and thereis.ap-
parently no doubt that-it Will figure
to certain extent in many 'pfn the
agricultural States.
Aparty ofDemocratic leaders hai We
gone on tour to the Pacific coast
which-is a new departure in the way
of campaigning and anevent of some
political Importance. The nominal
object is to attend the second annual
meeting of the State Democratic SOC
ieties of Washington, to be held at
Spokane. In Che party are Senator
Faulkner, General Chauncey F.. Black.
Representative Bynum, ex-Represen-
|. tative McAdoo, Mr.. james M. Beck,
of Philadelphia, and Mr.. Lawrence
Gardner, secretary of the National
Association Of Democratic Clubs.
They are good canapaigners, and VIII
talk tariff and preach good old DEM
ocratic doctrine to the people all
along their route. AT St. Paul they
will be entertained by the local Dem
Ocratic organizations, and viii ad-
dress meeting at Minneapolis. They
will also stop at Fargo, N. Oak. and
Helena and Butte, Mont. After or
ganizing the State Democratic as
ISOLATION at Helena they will go to
Spokane, where Senator. Faulk per
and General Black, will deliver. the
principal speeches. After this the
members of the part will seperate
and speak at various places in Wash
ington. They will reunite and visit
San Francisco and other places in
California, Salt Lake City, and d en-
yer. Finally they will spend week
in Iowa, making campaign. speeches.
The National library building is
now about half way: up, and a fair
idea can be .obtained, of what a
grand structure it will be. It already
goes beyond the expectations raised
by the drawings. ALL the masonry
is completed as far as the main gal
lery, beyond. which there. is but one
story. The outer walls are of gran
lite, and in. the interior masonry
If,OOO,VVV AAASA xAovO oAO0uy OCCu
laid, The brickfwork facing the in
side court is of yellowish white en-
amelled surface. Having no great
/ colonades- and projections, such as
adorn the Capitol and the Treash ry
and Patent Office; considerable ofna:
mentation in the way Of carving is
necessary to prevent the broad sur
faces from. looking bare. One feat
ure of the ornamHntatidn2 is going to
attract considerable, attention and
discussion, hut will probably meet
with: the approval of most folks.
There ere thirty-three arches on the
four sides Of, the building, and in
ornam enting The keys of these arch
res there will he given study in ct
mology. Their number corresponds
exactly with that of the races of
mankind. and on each will be sculp-
tured a typical head of one race.
Over the arches at the main entrance
will be the types Of a higher order,
and the lowest types will be at the
back of the building.
