A cnannion or the Allianoe.

Senator-elect Gordon has stated several
times within the last two months that he
intended to join the farmers alliance. In
an interview a few days ago, which was
published in our dispatches from Atlanta,
he repeated the statement. There Is no
doubt, Of course, that he has made up his
mind to join the order, but there is some
curiosity to know when he proposes TO do
so.
In the interview referred 10 be was asked
whether he would be a candidate for presi-
dent OF the Georgia alliance, and his re-
ported answer was as follows: II wish 70
say most positively and with emphasis that
would not accept that or any Office in the
alliance as long as hold political office, or
am q candidate for political position.
agree most fully with Col. L. L. Polk in
the opinion that the officers Of the alliance
ought to be ineligible to political Office, and
freed from the temptation TO use the order
for personal ends. 50 long as they hold posi-
tons Of trust and influence in the brother
hood.n
From the foregoing it would seem that
he ard the president Of the alliance, Col
Livingston. hold directly opposite views
relative to holding political office and an
office in the alliance at tie same time. 1t
may be, however, that 1t is Col Living
ston's purpose to resign the presidency Of
the alliance Just before he enters upon his
duties as a representative in congress. Our
impression is. however, that Col. Living
ston does not liuk that officers of the al>
lance should be ineligible to political Of
fees. AS the difference between Senator
Gordon aud the president of the al
lance on this point is quite marked, may it
not afford the explanation Of Senator Cor
don's delay in carrying out his announced
purpose to join the alliance.
The dispatches In papers in different parts
Of the country contain the statement that
Senator Gordon will be the champion of the
farmers alliance in the Senate. This state
mcnt is too broad, probably, as the senator
does not approve Of the sub-treasury bill,
and as that bill contains the leading feature
of the alliance platform it is difficult to see
how he can be the senatorial champion of
the alliance. No doubt he will do all he can
to promote what he regards as the best in.
terests OF the alliance. but it is doubtful IL
he can be depended upon to do the alliances
bidding regardless of his own opinions.
Just yet, therefore. it is too much to say
that he viii be the alliances champion in
the Senate.
There have been rumors recently that
the Georgia alliance favors going out of
politics and devotlng all its efforts to ad-
vancing the material interests Of the
farmers. 1t would be matter of satisfac-
ton if the rumors were true. It is pretty
certain, however, that if they rest upon
any foundation at all it is a very slender
one. As long as there are men in the order
who are ambitious to hold political offices
it will be about impossible TO keep the
alliance out of politics

Portuguese explorers purpose travers-
ing ON bicycles the narrow footpaths of
Africa that the natives have beaten across
forest and plain by centuries of constant
use. These machines can go where horse
could not and are much more easily han
died. In exploration and discovery the
Portuguese are always in the front and alb
solutely interchangeable. They are sur
passed in that direction by no nation on
earth. and it is the strongest sort of trib-
ute to their peaceful purposes that their
acquisitions of dominion have not extended
all over the world.

The Trouble in Chile.

The fist dispatches received from Chile
relative TO the political troubles there left
the impression that order would soon be re-
stored and the authority Of the government
respected. Our dispatches yesterday. how
ever, indicated that the insurgents are
Strong and determined, and that they had
blockaded three Of the most important Of
the Chilean ports. The bIockading Of these
ports may turn out to be a mistake on the
part Of the insurgents, because, being
neutral ports, both France and England are
interested in having them Kept open. Those
two governments, therefore. may take steps
to have the blockades raised.
The president Of Chile seems 70 be re-
sponsible for the insurrection. He got into
trouble with the congress, and that body
refused to make the necessary sppropria-
tons to maintain his government He de
clared that be was not dependent upon the
congress. aud began collecting taxes on his
own account. At first the people murmured
at his illegal course, and, as his demands
grew larger and more oppressive, their dis
satisfaction took the shape Of an insurrsc-
tion.
The navy sided with them, but the army
remained true to the government. What
the outcome Of the difficulty will be it is
impossible TO say, but the increasing
strength of the insurgents justifies the con-
clusion that the government viii be over
thrown, and that a new president will be
elected.
The Chilean republic has been regarded
the model one in South America ever since
the Chileans were so successful in their war
with Peru. This Instruction that has
broken out on their soil. however, is calcu-
lated to give the impression to foreigners
that her government is no more stable than
that Of other South American states

Troublesome Commissioners.

The civil service commissioners seem to
give the President good deal Of trouble.
The Washington Post says that the Presi-
them, and chat he called them TO the white
house few days ago and told them that
they had done something for which they
deserved TO be summarily removed. He
referred TO the letter in which they at
tackled Postmaster General Wanamaker,
and which they had addressed to the Presi-
dent. He was very much out Of humor
because they had given it to the press
This administration is having good deal
of trouble with the commissioners And
the cause of the trouble seems to be that
they want to act up to the spirit and letter
of the law. The administration would be
much better pleased if there were no civil
service law. 1t seems to prefer the spoils
system, but doesn't dare to say so. 1t wants
to put its friends in the offices, and cannot
do so to the extent it would like.
The civil service law stands in its
way, and the civil service commissioners
are determined apparently to make the law
as effective as possible. 1t is not to be won.
dered at, therefore, that there is trouble
pretty much all the time between them and
the President.
1t is stated that the President asked them
the other day why it was that they could
not attend strictly to their duties aud not
try to gain applause by posing as reformers.
Nothing would give the majority of the
republican leaders more satisfaction than
to see the civil service law fall into innocu-

According to statistics complied by the
Iron and Coal Trade ReUiea0 the stock of
pig iron in great Britain has been steadily
decreasing since the close of 1887, when
fully one-third Of years. product was in
stock. At the close of 1890 this had been
reduced to about $4,000 tons or not
much more than one-sixth of years. pro-
duct. In 1889 the production of pig iron
was estimated at 1922, s24 tons. Last year
there was decrease to 7,94l, 4S5, caused
almost wholly by strike Of the Scotch
blast furnacemen, whose product of about
100000 tons in 1889 was reduced one
third. Small stocks left on hand this year
place the business upon a basis more favor
able than for several years past.

For one touch Of thy hand, of love a breath,
Though the touch Of thy hand and love were
death.

Six separate and several successive times
Passaic man had condoned and forgiven
his erratic wife, who had chrome habit of
suddenly falling in love and running away
with strangers. But he drew the line at the
seventh go, when she fled with thief and
only returned when he was arrested and
locked up. Then she went back and applied
for some more forgiveness and was greatly
disappointed and distressed when her spouse
told her it was all exhausted. But she is
still negotiating and evidently hopes to get
back and go a-gallivantiug many times
more. Matrimony in New Jersey seems to
be enlivened with diversions peculiarly its
own.

Department officials seem inclined to CEN
sure Georgia postmasters for keeping Sun
day hours on Gen. Lees birthday. Yet it
is nothing more than would have been done
in any eastern state on regularly consti
tuted legal holiday in the state. When
business is suspended there is little need for
the postoffices to remain open merely
to be conspicuously out of harmony
with the customs of the people
and to manifest the departments
disapproval of local usages. No state can
reasonably be expected to allow its local
customs to be regulated or interfered with
by any outside influence whatever. As the
various towns sustain and defray all ex-
penses of their several postoffices. it is no
more than right that they should conform
to the usage3 of the places in which they
are located, whether remote chief of
department sympathizes with those Gus
toms or not.

OIL in Allah anna.

The finding of oil in Alabama is a matter
of much more than ordinary Importance.
The oil we'll that has been opened in the
northern part of the state may mark the
beginning of a great industry in that part
Of the south. 1t has long been believed by
those who have given the matter thought
full attention that there is oil in unlimited
quantities in Alabama. Indications Of the
presence of oil are found in portions Of the
state similar to those found in the oil regions
of Pennsylvania and Ohio And the find-
ing of oil at a little over 1900 feet below the
surface proves that the indications are not
misleading.
Those who remember the sinking OF the
first oil wells in Pennsylvania recall the ex-
element and speculation which followed
the finding of oil in paying quantities.
From nothing the coal oil industry has
grown to enormous proportions. Vast fort
unes have been made out of it. and it now
gives employment to tens of thousands Of
people, and furnishes an investment for
many millions Of dollars.
The Alabama product it seems, is far
richer than that of Pennsylvania. 1t would
not be surprising if Alabama should succeed
Pennsylvania as the great oil producing, as
well as the great iron and coal producing
state of the union.
Those who have sneered at the south in
former years may yet regard her with sur
prise and wonder. With her cotton, coal.
iron and oil, she may be the richest portion
of the union in the very near future.

Ostensible friends of Inventor Westing-
house recently conspired to ruin him for
their own advantage and came very near
composing his financial destruction. But he
discovered their scheme in time to clap on
his well-known air-brakes and stop the
game AS might have been expected, the
conspirators were men whom he had vir-
tuaIly made. Now a mild application of
his electric bouncer seems to be about the
proper prescription. Ingratitude is not an
admirable trait.

During the past decade twenty-five agri-
cultural counties of New York have lost
population, according to the census figures.
Oswego lost 5000 inhabitants, and in but
four out Of the twenty-five counties does
the loss fall below 1000. 1t amounts to a
total loss of $4,000. Whether these losses
are due to defective census or are caused
by the "home market" New York's protected
industries afford to the farmers are ques-
tions that yet remain to be determined.
But they strongly resemble the growing de-
cadence in New England.
