A Church Squabble.

LEBANON, IND, July 25.-An impor-
tant suit, which involves the rights of a
large body of Churches in the United
States, has been decided in Boone circuit
court by Judge Hill. Mount Tabor
Church, ak miles south of Lebanon,
which was organized in 1885, was Known
as regular Baptist Church and conform.
ed to the views of that organization. Two
or three years ago part of the congregation
departed from the original articles of faith
adopted and decided to become more lib
eral in their mode and teachings.
This move was bitterly opposed by the
other portion of The Church, who, how
ever, were greatly in the minority. The
majority Immediately expelled the mem.
bers who did not agree with the new or
der of things. The minority. however,
was recognized by the Danville associa-
ton to be the regular Baptist Church,
but the other faction refused to submit to
the decision of the association. The ma
jority being in possession of the Church
property, and detying the Church author.
tiles, the minority brought suit for eject
ment. The trial has been hotly contested.
A large amount of money has been
spent, and witnesses in the Church gov
ernment, from far and near, have testified.
The court ruled that the minority, having
held to the articles of faith as originally
adopted, are the rightful owners of the
Church property, and should be put in
possession thereof.

Starvation in Texas.

Rio GRANDE Cry, TEXAS, July 23.-
The destitution on both sides of the Rio
Grande for hundreds of miles is appalling.
For three years continuous drought,
except in this (Starr) county, where a
tolerable crop was raised, has caused
many deaths from actual starvation, and
at Starr Station the people are despairing.
The ranks of the professional murder
ers and bandits will be swelled by those
driven to crime by hunger. In Browns
Vile and Matamorss beggary was never
greater nor the means to relieve the poor
less. It is too late for Fall crop and
the prospect is dismal.
In Hidolgo county cattle are daily dy-
ing from want Of grass and water. In
Cameron and Starr Counties they are
fast reaching that condition.
Last year q petition went up to Gov
ernor Ross from border county showing
the terrible want of its people. No reply
was given. In this County over one
hundred horses have been stolen from
the Aqua Nueva tract within few weeks,
and many others have been stolen in
other parts of the county.
The robbery of J. L. Hyne's store, near
Brownsville, within the past week, is
looked on by old timers here as the pre-
lude of many of like nature.-Ne'0 York

weighted down with leaders who are more

We are having plenty of rain at this

corn. If nothing befalls the corn crop in
this section there will be enough-more
than enough-to supply the demands of
the people in this section. Cotton, as q
general thing, is sorry. Some will not
much more than pay for their guano, while
others have pretty fair crops of cotton,

Bulling the Wheat Crop.

ST. PAUL, MINI, July 2S.-St. Paul
has been made the headquarters OF the
national movement by the United Far
mers' Alliances of the country, to corner
the entire wheat crop of the United
States. At 317 Wabash street, for several
days, large force of employees have
been engaged in sending out circulars
with view of having not only the AL
lance men of the United States; but all
classes of farmers, keep back the wheat
crop until prices have been advanced to
a high point.
The Alliance Press bureau, the Reform
Press bureau, and the State Press bureau
are. working together, endeayoring to
unite the farmers of the United States in
q gigantic Wheat Trust. At the head of
the movement which has its headquarters
in st. Paul, is George M. Muller, editor
of the State, aud prominent Alliance
man. A circular reeiting the benefits of
combination and urging the formation of
'Trust" has been made public. The
circular estimates the wheat crop of 1891
in the United States at 100000, 900 bush.
els. The promoters of the scheme believe
that four-6fths of the wheat can be held
back by farmers for from four to eight
weeks and high prices secured.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-H. W. Aver,
secretary to President Polk, of the Far
mers' Alliance, and manager in this city
Of the reform Press Bureau" which is
also known as the "Alliance Press Bu-
reau," said this afternoon that the work
of sending out circulars to show the far
mers of the country that it was to their
advantage to hold back the wheat crop
was actively proceeding in this city as
we'll as in st. Paul, MINI, which was
chosen as one of the seats of operations
because of its location in the great wheat
belt.
Aver said that there have already been
1000 of these circulars sent out from
Washington, and that during the next
few days au average of 100000 q day will
be mailed until more than million OF
circulars are Issued. The circulars, he
said, will also be published in about 1000
weekly papers with which the bureau is
connected. He remarked that he could
not say, of course, that it was the circular
which had brought about the result, but
he had noticed in recent market report
that as matter of fact the actual move
ment of wheat was 40 carloads less per
day than had been estimated.
Aver said that information that the is.
sue of such q circular by Alliance men
was in contemplation became public pre-
maturely about two weeks ago, when the
circular in course of preparation was
published in newspaper. The final de.
cision to issue the circular had not at that
time been reached, and many leading
Alliance men we're unaware of it, but it
had since been finally determined on.
He explained that the executive COM
mittee of the Alliance had not acted on
this matter, and that by the circular no
order was given to Alliance men to hold
back their crop, this being contrary to
the methods Of the Alliance. What is
done by this circular is to give farmers
information as to facts in regard to the
worlds wheat crop, with suggestion
that wheat, some weeks later than now,
will bring higher price.

COTTON CONGRESS.


The State Alliance passed the following
resolutions at the meeting in Spartanburg
last week:
We, the undersigned, the committee to
whom that portion of the presidents ad-
dress relating to the cotton problem was
referred, beg leave to submit the follow
ing report:
Whereas, Fully appreciating the fact,
as we do, that cotton is the chief money
crop of the Southern farmers, and
whereas, the increase in the annual pro-
duction of this staple has been 80 large
and rapid until we are confronted with
the fact that the price of said product
has declined until it is hardly equal, II
not less. than the cost of production to
the average farmer; therefore be it
RESOLVED, That We, members OF the
State Alliance of South Carolina, assem-.
bled in annual session, do recommend
and urge the holding of q cotton conven.
ton in the city of Atlanta, commencing
on the first Wednesday in September
next.
Second, That the subjects to be con-
isidered at this meeting are hereby par
TALLY suggested.
The acreage-Can it be regulated and
controlled7
The gathering and handling of the crop
on the farm-CanIit be improved? :?
The shipping, grading and selling OF
our staple-Can It be so regulated and
adjusted as to do equal justice both to
producer and consumer?
That this State Alliance hereby extends
8 cordial invitation to each State Alliance
of the Cotton States to be represented at
this convention for unless the entire
cotton interest is represented, this pro
iected convention and its objects will be
in vain. That representation is cordially
invited from all other agricultural asso-
Citations. That the colored Alliances of
the Cotton States are invited to send rep.
resentation from each State organization.
These resolutions are pointing in the
right direction, and we hope the cotton
States will send representatives. Such
conventions are likely to develop ideas
and plans that are both practicable and
beneficial.
The Secretary is instructed to extend
an invitation to all cotton growers to
participate in said convention. The fol-
lowing commissioners we're elected by the
State Alliance to extend this meeting
