Many Commonplace People.

It takes absolute self reliance and not little courage for chap to make the start from just where he happens to be when project presents itself to him A majority of us not only desire to wait until things shape themselves to our wishes, but we insist upon making that wait. The man who says I'll do it, and keeps his word. is phenomenal: the one who makes the promise and tries to keep it, sometimes failing and some. times succeeding. is exceptional. and the one who says he will achieve the result and lets both prolect and promise stop with the making of the speech is com monplace to the last degree Accord ingly very large majority of us are commonplace.

AN ALLIANCE SCANDAL.
SOME STARTLING STATEMENTS COM

It Is Claimed That The National Cordage
Trust Is Endeavoring By slick Work
To Secure Control Of all the Al

CHICAGO, Feb. 9,---The Inter-Ocean
publishes tomorrow two column ex-
pose of a scheme whereby the Nation
al Cordage Trust, through the con-
nivance with a number of leading AL
lance officials, is attempting to get
control, not only all of the Alliance
stores in the country, but four
housand add itional ones. The trust
proposes startling statements made
by ID. NJ. Fulwiler, state business
agent of the Alliance of Illinois, f.. r.

company, st. Johns, Michigan, and
William Deering d Sons, of Chicago,
that places certain prominent ALI

tional executive committee of the Far
mers Alliance and Industrial Union,
admits, so the Inter-Ocean
says, that he was hired by the
National Union company agency
through which the Cordage company
is operating, and also admitted to e.
E. Whipple that he thought the Ma
tional Cordage Company was behind
or largely interested in the National
Union, as he (WardeiD knew that
Waterbury, the National Cordage
president, gave check to the Union
Company last summer for Sl25, 900, and
he (WardelD had it in his possession,
several days, showing it to the boys
while the were in New York last
June. The June meeting referred to
was secret one the National Union
had called of all the state Alliance
business agents it had induced into
the scheme, that company paying all
expenses.
At that meeting Macune, chairman
of the national executive committee
and editor of the National Econo-
mist; Coffen, state business agent
of the Farmers Mutual Bene'
fit Association, Illinois; George
H. Close, state agent of Dakota; Alon
70 Wardell; Cole, president of the
Michigan Alliance, and various
agents for a dozen other states were
present and in sympathy with the
scheme, and from Wardell's state
ment to. Whipple all were conversant
with the relation of the national cord
age trust to that scheme.
1t is also stated that Whipple has {
letter from Waterbury, president 0
the National Cordage company, stat
ing they were largely interested il
the Union company and. highly re
commencing it. Part of that scheme
that appealed so powerfully to th
Alliance agents is the commission
if one-half of one per cent. allowed t
each state agent for the goods sold il
&. his territory. 1t is claimed the Ma
tional Union company is preparing b
capture the st. Louis conference ant
