the farmers themselves. If our Alliance
brethren will recall the circumstances
they will remember that it was the So
called leaders who gave this meaning
to our attacks upon themselves.
Now let the honest Allianceman go
back over the files and review the con-
troversy and see how far our charges
have been verified. We charged that
the leaders of the Alliance movement
had conspired to turn the organization
bodily over to the Third party; that
while protesting Democracy they were
scheming to betray the Democratic
party. We stated the evidence upon
which we based this opinion. We
showed that they were already in con-
slant conference with the Third party
managers; and we declared that they
would themselves go into the Third
party movement as soon as they had
done all the devilment possible in the
Democratic party. We said this of
Polk, of Macune, of Terrell, of TOiler
Taylor and of Mcdowell, all of whom
were loud in their professions of DemOc-
racy. Do our Alliance readers remem-
Der how we were denounced for utter
ing such ISLANDERS" upon "good Demo-
crats?" Do they not recall the plain
| tive tones IN which all these patriots de-
clared that we were merely seeking to
cast odium upon our noble order by
traduciDg it's leaders? Do they not re-
member how Mcdowell in public
speeches declared that if the next
Democratic convention should defeat
Buchanan and denounce the Ocala de-
mands, he would still stay with the
Democratic party and support the
nominee? Do they remember how this
declaration was received as crushing
! reply to our "vile ISLANDERS"
| These, in brief, were the principal
reasons for charging that the CONNER
cial was an enemy of the farmer. Did
we not speak the truth? Polk, Macune,
| Terrill, Taylor and Mcdowell have all
| fulfilled our prediction and made good
our charges. They dropped out of the
Democratic party one by one, each seiz-
ing the opportunity as it presented it
| self. Let our Alliance friends review
! the story OF the "war'' which we had
the honor to begin upon these traitors;
let them read over the warning we
uttered when we told them that their
leaders were conspiring to betray them,
their order and their cause; then let
them answer honestly and without
prejudice, whether we did not correctly
perceive the end of this movement from
the beginning and boldly proclaim the
truth? It sometimes requires courage
for one to acknowledge that he has
made a mistake. Some men persist in
| wi nnh
because they have not the moral cour-
age to acknowledge the error of their
way. The true man is the man who
has the courage to do right, even when
it involves the confession that he has
been doing wrong. Our Alliance
friends have seen enough to convince
them; now let them act upon their con-
vIctions.

OPPOSED TO pulpit MOUNTEBAN<S.
The Reverend vulgarisn who is
desercrating the Gospel Tabernacle at
Nashville, in his sermon saturday
night sad he had "waked up flee in
Co umbia" This is u sample of the
"soft answers TO turn away wrath"
this devout man of God employs. He
evidently has as little respect for
Bible iniunctiOns IS we have for him.
In the same connection he says he
uses better language than is used in
the Bible. We are not surprised to
hear him say so. HIS egoti i'm has no
doubt led him to believe he is a better
man than Christ. He also says that
he never used a word in the pulpit he
would not use IN the presence of his
wife. The difference between us is
that we have more respect for the I'M
fortunate lady.
Some of our friends have asked us
to take up the fight for the "Colum-
bia fice'' and "skin Sam" They
must excuse us. The SHINING bust
ness is not a clean one at best, and
when it comes to handling such q
carcass as Sans, the job Is entirely
too dirty. We have reported police
court proceedings in our day, and
with camphor bottle betwixt our
nose and the wind have essayed to
write up Republican conventions;
but when it comes to skinning as
noisome thing as Sam Jones, we
draw the line.
Besides, when it comes to billings
gate, as compared to Sam, we are not
in it. In this line by his education,
association and habit, he has an ad-
vantage of us we could not overcome.
We have never wallOwed with the
hogs nor vOmited with the dog, and
Sam says he has done both. When
it comes to mud throwing he is with
cut peer. Our readers and friends
will excuse us from the unequal con-
test.
We would never have spoken Of
him at all or criticised him in the
least, except in defense Of the Chris
tian ministry and the sacred pulpit.
Our training has been such that we
look with reverence upon the high
calling of those who preach Gods
word, and with a simple faith, taught
US in our childhood and approved by
the natural judgment of ripper years,
we look upon the pulpit as q sacred
place. There has never been time
or place in our lives when we would
not defend either. To see them both
desecrated, defiIed and disgrsced, is
an affront and offanse we never let
pass.
When a sensationalist and adj
wenturer like this man clothes HIM
self in the garments of the meek and
Iowly Nazarene, and in this disguise
makes his way to the pulpit and con-
verts it into platform for ribald jest,

The plot thickens. Will it be
Blaine? Will it be Harrison? Will
it be somebody else? The question
is on every mans tongue, the answer
is in no mans mouth. The Demo-
Gratis of New York are praying for
Blaine. They say Cleveland can beat
the tattooed, magnetic man from
Maine, easy. 1t is generally admit
ted by the impartial public that Blaine
has weakened his cause by withdraw
ing from HarrisOn's cabinet. Such
traitorous conduct cannot be eX-
planned and forgiven in a day. 1t
had been better for him had he con-
tinued to pose as the loyal friend to
his chief official. The crown might
then have been presented to him.
Heretofore the cry of the outs has
been anything to beat Harrison.
Now the ms have taken up the cry,
anything to beat Blaine. 1t is not
improbable that they will succeed in
knitting each other to the death. Nc
Kinley, Sherman and AlgeT are
talked of as compromise men. What
ever the outcome, there is a bitter
row in the Republican family and
the heartburnings, disapPOintments
and wounds Will be many and slow
to heal. Give us Cleveland and the
country is ours.

STATE LECTURER. TUCKER was j.

longer; he has been fred, he says
it is because he would not bow to

strange part about this is that
Tucker did not do the bowling act.
Perhaps, after all, it was a question
of salary, Mcdowell thinking he
was paying too much for too little,
and no doubt Mcdowell was correct.

By every principle of the fitness Of

tailed. Why? Because it is cur-head-

that was done, the rest Of the party
would soon be found amelsable to

THE DEACON TRAGEDY.
A Tale of ConjugaI Infelicitv Unfolded
at Deacon,s Examination.

CANNES, Feb. 19.-The shooting of
Abeille, by Deacon, an American who
discovered the Frenchman carrying on a
liason with Mrs. Deacon, continues an
absorbing topic of interest here. Mr..
Deacon was today examined by magis-
trate. He gave very succinct account
of the incidents that led up to the kill
ing of Abeille. His story, though it
does not agree in all its details with the
published accounts of the affair, con-
firms in a measure the first telegraphed
reports of the shooting. Deacon asked
the magistrate to admit him to bail.
The magistrate declined to do go at once,
but promised to consider the applica-
tion. Mrs. Deacon was then examined.
She told story which confirmed that
OF her husband.
Mr.. Deacon further stated to the mag
istrate that his wife had most extrava-
CANT tastes, and that lately she had
spent fabulous sums on her toilette.
This extravaganza led to quarrels. His
conjugal life, he said, had been unhappy
for long time. He was very sorry for
what he had done, but the thing had
gone on too long, and could only end
badly.

EDISON Dissatisfied.
He Does Not Like the Way His Electric
Stock Is Manipulated.

Stock Is Manipulated.
New YORK, Feb. 19.-It is rumored in
Wall street that Thomas A. Edison is
dissatisfied with the projected consoli-
dation of the Edison General Electric
company and the Thomson Houston
company, and that he will retire, if
indeed he be not practically frozen out.
1t is said he owns only one-tenth of the
stock OF the Edison company which con-
trolls nearly all his patents. and with
such small portion of the whole stock
he is practically powerless. The fact
that he has only q comparatively
small amount of stock is interesting
of itself, as showing that Edison is shar-
ing the fate of inventors generally.
Other men have the majority OF the
stock and are drawing the dividends.
1t is believed that through ignorance
of the ways of Wall street, he was out
witted, and some one else obtained con-
troll of his stock. No one has been able
to find out definitely what Edison
thinks of the consolidation scheme, as
he refuses to discuss the matter. By
the terms of the consolidation, the total
capital stock OF the Edison company
will be exchanged for $100, 900 stock
in the new company, and the Thomson
Houston company gets $lS 100000 OF
stock in the new company.

In by the Defendant, James
G.. Blaine, Jr.
Associated Press Dispatches.

DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 19.-At last
the Blaine divorce case has come to a
trial, and all the testimony is in. This
morning Judge Palmer, plaintiffs attor-
ney, read the complaint and the de-
fendant's answer, and began reading
depositions. The depositions of DR..
Fuller and DR.. Wynkoop, after confirm
ing that of General Mcmahon as to the
amity in which the young couple ap-
parently passed the first few months Of
their married life, related chiefly to the
condition of plaintiffs health after the
unhappiness began. DR.. Fuller, who
was called in during the temporary ab-
sence of the family physician, DR.. Wyn-
koop, in Europe, testified that when he
first treated Mrs. Blaine professionally
she was enciente, and few weeks later
suffered miscarriage, due entirely to,
mental anxiety.
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on
the stand. She recited the story of her
marriage, which was hastened because
her husband did not want her to go on
the stage. She spoke of their happy
first year, and detailed the visit of the
young people to Maine, where her hus-
band was kept away by his mother; told
how she was foiled in attempts to be-
come reconciled; gave the details Of her
return to New York and subsequent
sickness and suffering in that city. She
said she came to South Dakota for a
home and wanted especially to secure
the custody of her child, which she was
able to support by her pen.
After the submission of some law
points the case was closed and taken
under advisement by the court.

THE NEW SCENIC ROUTE.
SOUTHERN PACIFIC COAST LINE
DEFINITELY LOCATED.
The Contour of the Coast Closely Followed
From Santa Margarita to Santa Bar
bara-A Picturesque Region Traversed.
Work Commenced on the Tunnels.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 19.-Chief En-
gineer Hood of the Southern Pacific
company has definitely located the line
of the coast division from Santa Mar
garita to Ellwood. All the rights of way
have been granted to the company, and
work has been commenced on the faces
of the tunnels.
1t was at first intended to run the road
inland, but it'strikes out from San Luis
Obispo for the coast and follows the
coast line for most of the distance to
Ellwood and Santa Barbara. The dis
tance from Santa Margarita by the fixed
survey is greater than by the line at
first proposed, being l30 miles, while the
other is less than 100, but the coast line
will be cheaper to construct, as it does
mot run through 40 mountainous q
country.
There will be heavier and rougher
work on that part OF the line between
Santa Margarita and San Luis Obispo
than there was on the California and
Oregon road in the Siskiyous. Mr..
Hood says there will be seven tunnels
in the first sixteen miles, one of them
being 5000 feet in length.
F. S. Douty, of the Pacific Improve
ment company, said that the contracts
had not yet been let for the construc-
ton OF these tunnels, but the prelimin-
ary work was being done, and as soon
as the bids were all in and the accepta-
BILE one chosen, there would be an i'm
mediate commencement of work.
1t is surprise to many that the line
has not been located so as to include
and absorb the Pacific Coast railway.
1t is thought that one object in choosing
the coast line is to make the road a
scenic line for passengers. 1t will not
run through a single town of any size
for the whole distance of 100 miles. 1t
will reach the extreme edge of Point
Conception. and will run within eight
miles of Lompoc. From Point Con-
cepcion to Ellwood it will run across
many arroyos that cash the coast line,
and frequent bridging will be necessary.

CARNOT'S LATE CABINET.
GRAVITY OF THE FRENCH MIN
ISTERIAL CRISIS.
De Freycinet and His Colleagues Are OBJ
durate to Ali Entreaties to Retain
Their Portfolios-The Pope's Recent
Encyclical to the French Clergy.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-De Freycinet, chief
of the cabinet, the members of which
last night rendered their resignation,
had conference with the president
this morning. Carnot requested De
Freycinet to summon his colleagues to a
meeting with the president at 8 o'clock
this afternoon.
In accordance with the programme
decided on, the ministers called on
President Carnot and rendered him
their joint resignation, which was &C.
cepted. President Carnot strongly
urged the ministay to reconsider, but
De Freycinet insisted upon their resig-
nation, saying he and his colleagues had
decided that they could not remain in
power after the action taken yesterday
by the chamber.
Several generals today called on De
Freycinet, who served as war minister,
as we'll as premier, and strongly ap-
pealed to him not to resign, saying he
would be great loss to the army. De
Freycinet, however, remained obdurate.
The lobbies of the chamber were filled
today with excited members discussing
the situation, and when the final de-
cision of the ministry was known, the
opinion was general that state of po-
litical uncertainty had arrived, in view
of the apparent inability of any party
to form working ministry. LeJou Ia
newspaper) says the only course prac-
ticable is the dissolution of the
chamber.
AT banquet given by President Car
not last night, subsequent to the re-
fusal of the chamber of deputies to vote
confidence in the government in re-
gard to the religious confraternities bill,
Floquet, president of the chamber, de-
clared there was no ground to infer that
the resolutions adopted by the chamber
implied absolute disavowal of the cab
inet's policy.
President Carnot will call meeting
of the presidents of the chamber for the
purpose of consultation with regard to
the crisis 1t is reported that De Frey
cinet has decided not to accept the war
portfolio in the new cabinet.
The Catholic newspapers here pub
lish an encyclical letter from the pope,
addressed to the clergy. The pope de-
clares that any form of government is
good, provided it tends to further the
public welfare, and it is therefore the
duty OF all to accept the legally estab-
lished government and not attempt to
change it's form. The pope concludes by
expressing himself in favor of the main
tenance of the concordat, and urging the
union of all Frenchmen for the develop.
ment of the greatness of France.
