The Allianca Panar.

1t is extremely probable that the South
ern Alliance Farmer will be source of
trouble to the alliance. 1t will be remem-
bered that at the recent alliance convention,
at Gainesville, it was decided that the paper
should be conducted as an organ of the
alliance, and not OF the Peoples party.
Hon. G. II. Ellington, the newly-elected
president of the alliance, was asked at War
renton last Monday what the future course
Of the paper would be. II be Is quoted COR
rectly he replied as follows:
II am chairman Of tho board of control
Of the Southern Alliance Farmer and am
the same it has pursued during the last six
months The paper shall be a Peoples
party paper and shall indorss that party at
all times"
1t is evident that che democrats In the
alliance will not quietly permit the will OF
the convention to be ignored. II the paper
continues to be run as a third party paper
they will. in all probability drop out of the
alliance, because they will feel that the
character of the organization has become
changed In fact, it is a part Of tbs
feoples party.
1t is difficult, under the circumstances, to
see any future for the alliance in this state
If the report Of the secretary of the alliance
Is any indication of its strength, the organi-
zation has already lost very large number
of its mombers-probAbly half-and il
President Ellington carries out his pro-
gramme relative to the alliance paper
many other alliancemen Will give up their
membership. Those who remain will be-
come merged into the Peoples party.
Doubtless there are farmers in all parts OF
the state who regret the decadeuce Of the
alliance. Kept within the li,Gits of its con.
stituticn and ably and honestly managed il
could be made OF great benefit to the farm
ers. Its usefulness to the farmers practically
ended, however, when it was drawn into
politics. 1t is a safe prediction that within
two or three years the alliance will be g
thing wholly Of the past.

Cbeck on Railroad Commissions

A Check on Railroad Commissions.
The decision of Judge Mccormick, of the
United States circuit court, to the effect
that the railroad commission Of Texas may
not fix freight and passenger rates which
are binding upon the railroads, but that
such power shall reside alone in the courts,
will have a far-reaching effect.
The present railroad commission law in
Texas is q very burdensome one TO the rail
roads that are operated In that state, par
tcularly as IL is administered by a commits
sion that is regarded as extremely hostile TO
the railroads. 1t fixed the freight and
passenger rates so low that all
the railroads complained that they were
doing business at a loss, and that it was
only a question Of time when they would
be forced into bankruptcy Their appeal
to the commission for relief met with an
unfavorable response, aud 80 they carried
their grievance into the United States
court. The injunction that Judge McCor-
mick granted prohibits the commission
from ''promulgating, establishing or max
ing effective against railroad companies any
further tariff, and from attempting to
do So"
This decision Of Judge Mccormick was
made after very full hearing that oocu-
pied week at Dallas. The question Of the
right OF a state commission to fix rates for
railroads was discussed thoroughly, II
this Texas case is carried TO the higher
courts and sustained there will be an end OF
the greatest power now exercised by rail
road commissioners. The railroads OF every
other state will take steps to profit by It.
They will not submit to having their rates
fixed by commission if they can avoid
doing 30.
The power which railroad commissions
have to make rates is an extraordinary
power and can be greatly abused. In the
hands of incapable or corrupt men it is q
very dangerous power. Aud it is a very
difficult matter to say what rates are fair
for the public and for the railroads.
No doubt the railroad commission OF
Texas will appeal from the decision of
Judge Mccormick. 1t ought to do 80 in
order to have the question whether or not a
railroad commission has the constitutional
right to fix rates for railroads finally and
forever determined.

There is some prospect Of President Har-
rison giving out his letter OF acceptance on
next Saturday. But that would never do.
To give it to the press on Saturday would
mean its publication In the Sunday papers,
and Mr.. Harrison would hardly care to risk
the wrath Of puritanical New Enganders
and other extreme Sabbatarians by having
it appear on that day. Besides, Friday is
the Harrisonian day by fate. Let him give
the letter out on Friday and preserve the
succession Of Friday incidents in bis present
candidacy. Superstition has no place in
