NOT A HAPPY FAMILY.
ALLIANCE STATESMEN is SUE AN
ADDRESS TO TIE PEOPLE.

Livingston is Regarded as Apart From

Legislation Pretty Much the Same
as That Demanded by the Others
Mr. Watson Talks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The Peoples party
Of the House Of Representatives is intact as
political organization and united as to the
party measures which it is to press upon the
two houses of the Fifty-second congress.
In the caucus which met before the organi-
zation OF the House and nominated Repre-
sentative Watson Of Georgia as tho candi-
date of the Peoples party for speaker of the
House the nine independent representatives
then assembled decided to preserve their
political autonomy on all questions TO the
end OF the session. Within the past few
days various reports of alleged dissenslon
in the.ranks of the nine "Peopleisn repre-
sentatives have been current, and "thirdn
party men tonight complain that these
rumors have been inspired by politicians of
other parties and telegraphed to the partisan
press throughout the country, purely for
political effect. To silence these insidious
rumors in their inception the nine regular
representatives Of the Peoples party to-day
issued che following address to the country !:
To correct an erroneous account which has
appeared In the public prints in reference to
dissension in the ranks OF alliance congress-
men, we make the following statement: At no
meeting OF alliance members of congress was
any motion or suggestion made that they
should join the Democratic party or cast their
lot with it. A disagreement occurred because
certain OF alliance congressman thought that
the contest should be made through the old
parties, and others thought that in
dependent political action was neces-
sary. There has been no split
between the Peoples party representatives. We
are united now, as we were at the opening of
congress. We each believe tnat independent
political action is necessary. We hold our con
ferences as we did at the opening OF the session, j,
and they are harmonious. The only dissension
that has come among the alliance members
came when we had conferences with the con.
gressmen who adhere to old party lines

pass was the morning programme for Mr..
George w. Childs. In the afternoon a din
ner and reception was given In his honor
by Hon. j. j. Hagerman. ex-president of
the Colorado Midland railroad. Tonight
the festivities incident to his visit closed
with brilliant reception and ball at the
Ell Paso Climb. On Saturday morning the
journey westward Will be resumed.
Before departing for their respective
homes to day the board of trustees of the
Printers Home. in accordance with the re-
quest made by tho last convention of the
International Typogrs phlcal Union, re-
duced the number of trustees from thir.
teen to seven. and also authorized meet
ings of the board outside of this city.
Amended articles were also adopted defin-
ing more clearly the status of the trustees
to be- merely that of agents of the body
that created the board and plainly dis
avOwing any property right on the part of
any trustee i'll the grounds and building
held in trust for the international body.
This action makes unimpeachable the
status of the International union regarding
the home. and settles conflicting points
that have created more or less feeling and
discussion among the printing fraternity.

The Democratic State platform de-
clares that Republican boards of COM
missioners in forty seven counties have
made the local taxes higher than was
necessary In order to make the Demo-
cratic tax act odious. The Journal has
been furnished with a list of the COM
missiOners in the ninety-twO counties
of the State, with their political COM
plexion at the beginning of the year
1891. By that list it appears that the
Democrats have majority of the
boards In fifty-fOur counties and the
Republicans in thirty-eight. These ex-
act figures show that the assertion the
platform makes is false. and was put
forth for the purpose of deceiviDg the
people. Unfortunately, the taxpayer
remembers how much he paid last year
and knows how much he must pay this,
and no bumptious assertion of a plat
form can bewilder him regarding such
facts.

THE new law which provides for plac-
ing the two Inman steamers City of New
York and City of Paris under American
registry, and also under the American
flag, provides that the officers and men
shall be American citizens. The COM
panies are DESTROYS of retaining the
services of the present captains of the
two steamers, who are among the best
in the British marine service, and both
have signiiied their willingness to re-
nounce their allegiance 20 the British
government and become American citi-
gems in order to retain their commands.
Itis believed that the subordinate officers
will do the same. 1t will be several
months before arrangements can be COM
pleted for the transfer of the steamers
to American registry, one of the condi-
tons being the construction of two new
steamers of similar tonnage in Ameri-
can ship-yards. These may not be CON-
pleted before next fall, when all the
vessels will hoist the stars and stripes.
The officers of the 1nman company say
there is no doubt that the American ship
yards are able to turn out steamships
quite equal to those of English and
