High Grade Sugar from Brazil.

Pernambuco Brazil trade reports
record the sale of 1000 tons of sugar,
graded Nos. ID and II, for export to
the United States. It is stated that
no expectation of sugar of so high a
grade has been made from Brazil to
the United States in 40 years. The
event is directly attributed to the
reciprocity treaty. and the Rio News
says this is an advantage so import
ant and valuable, especially to the
Northern States of Brazil, that it
cannot be ignored in the considera-
ton of the question.

of the General Assembly Friday night
between the faction of the Republicans
known as the gang" and the combina-
ton formed by the gang smashers" to
see who should have control Of the
House, was renewed again at last
nights session. Fears were enter
tanned OF serious trouble, and before the
House was called to order some half
dozen sergeants-at-arms were sworn IN
by the gang" who have the speaker on
their side. These were stationed all
over the House to promptly suppress
any demonstrations that might be made,
but it is reported on good authority that
the combine had number Of men
in the lobby ready to take hand, had
a personal encounter occurred between
the members, as was expected, there is
no telling what the result would have
been. After the House was called to
order, Voorhees,, Democrat, got the
floor and charged that bribery had been
attempted. This caused a heated de-
bate, and resulted in the appointment Of
a committee to investigate. After con-
siderable lillbustering the House ad-

that the fight will be renewed with

TIL, Harv,,tinc machine trust OF.

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-President McCor-
mick has furnished the Associated Press
the following statement: "The Amerl-
can Harvester Company, after securing
the opinion of eminent counsel from
different States, has been brought face
to face with grave obstacles to the con
summation of the enterprise for which
it was formed. These are of such a
character, that after most serious and
careful consideration, the conclusion has
been reached that the whole undertak-
ing must be abandoned. In doing so it
is but adopting the course such counsel
have united in advising. 1t believes
that in thus promptly taking this action
its course will meet the approval OF the
public."

Eeur Perfect D2Ys.

We are told that the gods fell into a
dispute one day as to which of the four
seasons was the favorite of mankind
Seeing no other way to bring peace from
out the bable of tongues, Jove command,
ed that each season produce a master.
piece and present the same to a quorum
Of the gods.
First, spring envolved a day that SHIN
ulered like an opal through rosy mists
and low-lying clouds, tinted like the
plumage of gray dove. And she Dor,
dered it with pale violets that deepened
as they grew, until they showed the pur'
pie of King Solomon'S robes. And she
Scattered It all over with touches of
green. like up-springing grass by loosen
ed water courses, and sprays OF BIOS
SONS, like snow when the sunshine finds
it. And she gayeit the voice of wood
thrush in the twilight and drew over it
a veil of silver rain, shot through and
through with broken ralnboWs and sun
flashes.
Then summer brought day of gold
en- calm, above whose brow were Ian
guild popies and blue cornfoWers steep
ed in Sunshine. And veil like the haze
on the far hills enveloped it, and its
voice was thenoonday note of the cushat
dove, hid deep in the fields OF snowy
buckwheat. And the hum of droWsy
bees was like the lullaby song that moth
ers sing to their sleepy children, while
above it, like butterfly that polses
above a yellow rose, was the infinite
peace of a cloudless heaven.
Next, autumn poured crystal goblet
high with wine and placed it in the hands
of day that laughed like a beautiful wo-
man and wore amethysts and topaz and
great shining rubies atits throat. And
the breath Of this day made all the earth
glad, so that it drank the wine Of grapes
and summoned the winds of heaven to
smite their harps for joy. And its voice
was like the voice of silver bugles when
brave men march to war or the mellow
notes of trumpets when conquerors re-
turn unto their homes.
Last. winter laid at the feet Of the
gods fair, dead day, whose loneliness
was like the loveliness of bride whom
death had taken. Its shroud was like
the inner heart of milk weed when rosy
fingered children first unfold it and
about its brows were wrapped frost lace
finer than cobwebs in the light of wane
moon. \ single diamond blazed upon
it's breast, and in its pale and quiet hands
was loosely wreathed strand of price
less pearls.
And the gods, being much together,
were bewildered with the masterpieces
Of each seasons handiwork, and could
make no choice. So they ordered that,
while time endured, these perfect tests
of seasonable weather should be per
petuated for the benefit of the sons and
daughters of earth, and that somewhere
within the round of the year should fall
four absolutely perfect days. Who
shall say that the past month did not
bring in winters masterpiece some
where within the last quarter of its
calendared days?

OF colored woman, who, it was sad,
was beaten TO death by some unknown

all committed by the same person, and
there is much excitement in the neigh

ALLIANCE ACTION.
Il Love Feast of the Warning Factions in

Kansas.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-A special
from Topeka, Kansas says: The Alliance
members of the Legislature and party
leaders had a love feast last night in
their headquarters. The best Of good
feeling seemed to prevail between the
factions which have been engaged in
bitter turmoil the last two days over the
publiction of the Turner letter to Frank
McGrath, president Of the State Al
lance.
McGrath made statement regarding
the letter denying that ne had ever had
any conversation with Tdrner upon the
subject of his candidacy for the United
States Senate. but the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
"Whereas, a letter dated Dec. lst,
1890, signed &C. 1. Turner has been re-
caived by Frank McGrath, president OF
the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, containing Infamous suggestions
and offers for the BETRAYAL of the most
sacred trust and confidence; therefore.
"Resolved, that we regard the affair
solely as another characteristic attemps
on the part of politicians in Topeka and
Washington to prove that moral laws
have no place in politics, and the desire
on their part to thWart the will of the
people by any means, however base and
corrupt; that we regard it as only
another reason for standing firmly to-
gether in earnest, untlring and jealous
devotion to OUT cause that we deprecate
and condemn all efforts or disposition to
introduce or foment personal antago-
nisms or private pique or jealousies in
our party. holding the common cause
higher, dearer and more sacred than any
individual interest"
RALEIGH, n. c., Jan. l0.-Resolu-
tions lnstructing the United States Sem
ators from North Carolina to vote tor
the platform adopted by the Alliance at
Ocala were in the State Senate referred
to the committee. In the House they
amended "shall vote for the objects Of

adopted at Ocala." And thus amended,
received the unanimous Democratic
vote. There is no opposition to SEN
ator Vance. The caucus sset for Tues

Sheriff Dobson of Harper County in an
attempt to sell farms. The officer and
the attorney for the Johnston Loan and
Trust Company of Arkansas City has
orders of sale on property against which
the mortgages aggregated $4,000, and
when they attempted to dispose of the
farms they were surrounded by a band
of Alliance members, who ordered them
to desist. Paying no attention to them
the Sheriff proceeded with his business,
but before he could get a bid he was
jostled from his point of vantage and
threatened with further personal vio-
lence if he did not leave. Being unpre-
pared for such an emergency, he went.
