of economic philosophy cannot be set

we sought in our first article to find a
definition of money that would not be
open to the objections brought against
the definitions in common use; and we
think we had some small measure of
success.

BROTHER D. S.. WILKINS, of Shiloh
Alliance, Rutherford county, reports
the cause rs being on the upgrade in
his section. We are pleased to note
this progress; and we say to brother
Wilkins that more and more plainly
does it appear, as the time goes on,
that the Alliance is a necessity. Let
every farmer and laborer do his plain
duty, and the time will soon come
when the toilers of the country will be
as free in fact as they now are in
theory.

THE Marquis di Rudini, the Italian
Premier, has written a letter to the
Marquis Imperial, in charge of Italian
affairs in this country, in which he
bids him conf1ne himself strictly to
current business, and in which he de-
clares that the controversy between
the two governments i sat an end. This
is a very tame-a laughably tame
ending to an affair that had a begin
ming of stupendouAy threatening
buster. We by no means approve of
the doings of the mob at New Orleans.
But we think the connection of the
Italian Foreign Office with that bloody
episode has been splittingly farcical.

brunettes, closely resembling each other,
and as they walked into the ladies' waiting
room carrying bundles they attracted con-
siderable attention. Depot Matron Frazer,
ever ready to lend helping hand to those in
need Of it, uckly proceeded to the aid of
the mother. The woman appeared to be
about 40years of age and from the looks of
her red cheeks and quick sep had had very
little illness in her life. Her husband was

indication of age about him was a head Of
hair as white as snow, forming strong
contrast to a jet-black beard in which agfay
hair was not visible. The children, ten of
whom were boys, were as healthy-lookIng
as their parents. All were neatly dressed.
On the upper lip OF the oldest boy faint
line of down, indicative OF approaching
manhood, was visible. The youngest of the
group Was in the arms of her mother The
large family took up an entire corner OF the

for the train on which the journey was to be
continued, all eagerly partook of luncheon

THE WEATHER.

Rain in This City and a Heavy Storm
Along the Coast.
Clerk Of the Weather Kerkam has his
hands full at present owing to the very IN
settled state of the weather, and he is also
handicapped by the wires along the north
ern part of the Coast being down, thus
preventing any reports for that section Of
tile State coming in. Strong southeast
winds have prevailed north of Point
Reyes for three days, and rain has fallen
all over the northern part OF California and
the entire State of Oregon.
The stormy weather has greatly delayed
shipping along the coast and many vessels
are bar bound in northern ports. At sun
down last night snow was falling in the ex-
IRENE northern part of the State and East
ern Oregon, while rain was falling over the
entire State of California. 1t began rain
ing in this city yesterday afternoon. but up
10 shutdown only light showers had fallen.
The light showers that fell throughout
the day increased to a steady downpour
before 9 o'clock last night, with prospects
of continuing throughout the night.
The barometer in this city fell steadily mp
to midnight, when it stood 1910, fall of
fully is points since shutdown. The heay VEST
fan Of rain reported on the Pacific Coast
yesterday was at Fort Candy, where 0 81 Of

up to midnight was 0.45. AT that time il
was raining as far down as Los Angeles.
