Alliance Notes.

Politics is slick confidence game;
its success depends upon few workers
who so work the wires that the voters
will be about equally divided upon
some unimportant manner and fight
each other, then the scbemers can carry
out their plans. for when one party
won't accede to their demands the other
will: so in peace or war the people are
punished for fighting each other.-The
Labor Review, Gladbrook, Iowa.
The proposition to pool with the
democrats in COUNTY politics is indefen-
sible upon any'ground of regard for the
principles for which the peoples party
is contending. If there were anything
more in this movement than simply to
defeat somebody in this county, without
much regard to who it is, and to thus
capture few local offices, such course
might, perhaps, be fustifable; but if
there is principle involved, as we
claim there is, do not let us sacrifice it
for the sake of local success. The Ad-
vocate is uncompromisingly opposed to
this kind of politics and will remain 30.

Frank 11cGrath on Fusion.

Topeka. July 2O.-The president Of
the Kansas state alliance, Frank Nc.
Grath was called upon at his room in
the National hotel last night and inter-
viewed in reference to the proposed flu
sion of the peoples party and demo-
cratic party in this staVe. In response
to the question whether or not fusion
of this nature was contemplated by the
peoples party, Mr.. McGrath said:
Individually, l am not fusionist
We have a party possessing certain
set of principles. and claim we have,
we should rely on them and not on
trades and dickers. Besides it is not
necessary to fuse with the democrats.
Most of them are strongest alliance
men and will vote with the peoples par
ty. AS rule the sub-alliances of Kan
sas are against it, and | do not believe
there will be any attempt at fusion. In
some localities it may be done, but as a
rule we can carry most of the counties
OF the state without any aid. There is
no fusion talked of or contemplated in
state politics. am still a member of
the state central committee and we as
committee have no intention of the
kind"
Mr.. McGrath was asked whether
there was any considerable movement
in the alliance to Danish politics from
it, and he responded: 'There is no
politics in the alliance. A circular has
been sent out cautioning the sub-alli-
ances not to discuss politics or consider
candidates for political Offices at their
meetings."
"Then you do not propose to make
your nominations at the alliance meet
ings, as you did last year out in Mitch
ell county, for instance?"
mo; all those matters are to be
looked after by the township and county
alliance was necessarily the peoples
party, but now that the party is born,
it is partisan organization, like all
other political parties, and should
stand for itself"
"Are you gaining or losing strength
in the alliance as to numbers?"
"We are every bit as strong, and
stronger, than we were last November,
and the peoples party is Is to 20 per
cent stronger than last fall. We have a
strong peoples party vote outside OF
the alliance"
care there to be any big demOnstra-
tions in Kansas this year, looking to-
ward the booming of the peoples
party?"
Eyes, there is to be big rally in ev-
cry congressional district in the state
in September. General Polk, Ignatius
Donnelly, General Weaver, General
Norton Of Chicago, probably Mcdowell
of Tennessee and possibly Secretary
Shilling of the national committee,
will be with us and address the people.

Failed for Want of Money.

Failed for Want of Money.
KANSAS CITY, June 20.-The doors OF
the First National bank of Kansas City,
Kas, closed after banking hours last
Friday and the bank went into
voluntary liquidation and is now in
charge OF Special Bank Examiner Mar
shall.
The failure is not large one, as the
bank had few depOsitOrs, and will not
affect any other bank or business.
The bank was the depository Of q
part OF the city and county money. It
was in good condition outside of ready
cash and will pay depositors dollar for
dollar, but it is not thought 1t will re-
sumo business.
+. The liabilities are about 100000,
while the assets are S241, 200.
Hale and Fife, attorneys for the bank
stated this morning that the liabilities
were $4,000 including deposits. The
total assets are $214,00 These include
$4,000 of gilt edge securities which
are good on call. The remainder are
good debts OF various kinds owing to
the bank.
The failure, he said, was due to the
lack of ready cash. The immediate
reason for this came about in this way:
The old First National bank was con-
solidated early last spring with the
Exchange bank, or rather the Exchange
bought in the First National and took
its name. In doing this it assumed
about $50, COO in liabilities OF the old
First National to the National Bank of
Commerce of Kansas City, Mo-, cor
respondent of the First National. The
notes fell due and the new First
National made arrangements for
their extension by the National
Bank of Commerce. The Bank OF
Commerce, the Kansas City, Mo-, cor
respondent of the First National, Sc
cured deposits for the First National
bank and gave the First National credit
on it's notes instead of holding them as
cash account OF the First National,
finally liquidating it's debt. This
caused the stringency in ready cash and
the failure.
The money account of WyandOtte
county, for which this bank was partly
depository, was overdrawn about $40,
which makes the county all right. The
bank was also a depository Of 40 per

$685. 900 of this on deposit, nearly it's
quota of funds. This is covered by a
good bond of $4,000, signed by the
most substantial business men. They
qualified for $4,000. The city will not
lose this and Mayor Hannah said this
morning that the city would meet its
obligations in August all right. No
apprehension is felt on that line.
Cashier White of the National Bank
of Commerce said to-day that the cause
of the failure could not be laid to his
bank.
st is all mistake" he said. ut is
probably an excuse they have to make.
They have to lay the blame somewhere.
They did owe us money on notes but we
never extended them. We had some
of their money in our bank and when
the notes fell due they notified us to
change them and we took their mon
ey, sending them the Cancelled notes.
They owe us money yet"
The First National bank of Kansas
City, Kansas, which failed, was in no
way connected with the First National
bank of Kansas City, Mo.
