complaint about .saard times" inter

Of the Berthe county Farmers ALI
lance. His reply Was:
"Yes, money Is scarce and times
are hard and it will never be any
better until the present financial y :
TEN is changed You may raise what
YOU please, as much as you please OF
as little, and still there will be no
general prosperity. You may raise
fnnr million bales or nine million
bales of cotton snd there will be no
change. The Sub treasury and the
la nd loan measures of the Alliance
are intended to put more money In
circulation, at about cost, according,
TO the views held by Jefferson, Cal
houn and other eminent statesmen.
The Subtreasury will effectually stop
the immense robbery practiced by
spaculators. which amounts to more
than forty per cent. dlscrimin alton
against all crops raised. No one
has been able, as yet, to produce
evidence so ficlent to prove that this
plan is wrong, or that it will not do
all that is claimed for it, by its
friends, though If AM person can
suggest a better or a ch2per plan,
the Alliance stands ready to accept
it."
Questlon.-"What is pest to be
done while waiting for measures of
this kind to be enacted into law p
Answer-"We must practice the
most rigid economy; plant more
grain, grasses and vegetables, espe-
cially potatoes and turnips; keep
more cattle, hogs and sheep. and
raise orr own forses and mules.
This will, at least, give Us a living.
In the meantime people should study
all plans Of relief offered from every
side. The eform movement Is adG-
ing thousands to Its membership
every month, and hundreds of able
men who are not eligible to member

and are rapidly learning that there
are really great wrongs TO he righted
and that the demands Of the Alliance
are nothing more than simple JUS

The Gould mausoeum at Woodlawn Is
ready for the reception of the body Of the
dead financier The interior had been
cleaned and renovated under the direction
Of the architect, H. L. French. The slab
which will mark Mr.. Gould's catacomb, on
the second tier, opposite that Of his wife,
bears the same inscription as the coffin
plate, the letters being in scroll RELIEF.
The arrangement made Friday for the
funeral services over the body of Mr..
Gould were changed to-day in very i'm
portant particular. 1t will not be public
funeral, and all persons who were not
friends of the dead man, or who are not
friends or relatives of the family, will not
be admitted to the house, either during or
after the services.
In the regular death notice yesterday the
statement appearee chat friends ana rela-
tives Of the dead financier were invited to
attend the funeral, but now it is explained
that George Gould never entertained the
idea OF admitting all visitors who might
call themselves friends, and that the person
who made the statement that the public
would be permitted to look upon the dead
face Of the railroad king had no authority
from him to consider such thing. A per-
sonal friend Of the family said last night
that George Gouldnever had any intention
of making apublic display.

GOOD BYE, COME AGAIN.
PreSident-elect Cleveland Leaves Broad
water Island.
FACE WAS RUDDY AND SHOWED
Plainly the Results Of His Life in
the Open Air-His Private Car
Attached to the Express Train
Which Arrives at Jersey City
This Morning-Mr. Davis Alone
Accompanied Mr.. Cleveland.

ExMoRE. VA, December 4.-President-
elect Cleveland ended his visit at the
Broadwater Club tonight, and left here
at 1921 o'clock on the private car OF Supt.
Kenney, of the Philadelphia, Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad, attached to the
New York Express, which will arrive in
Jersey City about z 80 tomorrow morning.
The last day on Hog Island was passed
in Peace and quietaess. No visitors were
permitted on the Island, although Chair
man Aislesworth, Of the Accomac County
Democratic Committee, and others, pre-
sented themselves at the steamboat land
ing near here early this morning.
About o'clock farewells were uttered,
and Mr.. Cleveland was driven to the wharf,
where most of the island people were as
sembled. ''Good bye, come again." many
of them cried as he boarded a small boat
and was rowed TO the steamboat Sunshine.
The Journey by water was smoothly and
quickly made, the vessel arriving at Willis
wharf at half past five. Here score or
more teams had brought people from the
surrounding country to catch q glimpse or
the departing visitor. 1t was nearly dark,
and the President-elec t catching sight OF
the group of watchers as the boat ap-
preached, entered the cabin and was lost
to their view. Supper was prepared and
eaten on the boat, after which Mr.. CleVe-
land emerged from the cabin and walked
ashore.
He smiled when he saw the crowd and
shook hands with some who pressed for
ward. His face was ruddy and showed the
marks Of his outdoor exposure. A coach
was in waiting and the President-elect
entering. was rapidly driven to Exmore
Station about 4 raile and half distant.
The private car for his use had been sent
down early in the morning The coach was
driven up TO the platform and backed up TO
the car.
Another crowd Of less than o hundred
had collected and watched Mr.. Cleveland
mount the car steps. Once within the cur
tains were drawn and colored porter sta
toned ct each door.
When the north-bouRd train arrived the
private car was coupled on and Mr.. Fer
rell-bidding his guest farewell return ed to
Broadwater. Mr.. Davis alone accompa-
MED Mr. Cleveland.

business.
1T IS PROBABLE
that nothing Of Importance will be taken
up Tor action by the House during the first
week OF the second session. The principal
efforts OF the leaders Of the majority will be
TO clear the desk Of matters coming over
from last session, so that the House may
get into good working trim. On Monday
the House viii hold brief session, during
which the customary resolutions win be
adopted for the appointment Of a Joint
committee 70 notify the President that
Congress is ready for business. Two Rep
reSentauves have died during the recess,
Messrs. Warwick, Of Ohio, and Mcdonald,
of New Jersey. The House will adjourn as
a mark of respect 10 their memory as soon
as the intelligence Is officially CON-
muniCated TO it, Tuesday the House will
hear the Presidents message and adjourn.
The proceedings on the other DAYS of the
week will depend upon circumstances as
they develop from day TO day. There are
a considerable number OF private bills,
chiefly granting pensions, on which the
previous question has been ordered. Fif-
teen minutes debate is permitted on each
Of these bills and 10 is quite likely that the
House will make haste slowly and take up
considerable time in action on them.
Early adiOurnments will probably be the
order Of the day during the week.

To the Denial of the Truth OF state-

To the Denial of the Truth OF State
ments of ais Letter-A Strong State
sment.
NEW YORK, December 4.-The Rev.
Father Patrick Corrigan, Of st. Mary's
Church, Hoboken, n. j., makes q state
ment through the Associated Press in the
following card:
"a New York paper Of to-day quotes the
private secretary OF Archbishop Corrlgan
as saving that my statement that Arch
bishop Corrigan and Bishop Wigger were
not on speaking terms for years, until Ca
henslyism united them against Archbishop
ireland and Cardinal Gibbons was entirely
false, and that Bishop Wigger, Cardinal
GIBBONS, Archbishop Ireland and Arch
bishop Corrigan have been always Of the
same mind with regard to what is called
Cahenslyism Cahenslyism includes these
annual German Catholic congresses that
are fomenting discord in the American
Church by representing the Church as hos
tile to its most cherished institutions and
by making war on American priests who
are honest enough to condemn them.
THAT Archbishop Corrigan, in the late
bitter discussion on education, sided with
the Germans and with the foreign element
generally and against the public opinions
of the country, as expressed by Cardinal
Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland, and en-
couraged; by the Pope himself, there Is
no doubt that tbs. discussion was carried
by MIN and . Foreign element to the
verge of a great scandal, is also well
known. Mgr Schroeder, in his late ad-
dress in Germany to the Catholic Congress
claimed Archbishop Corrigan as one OF
their staunchest supporters in America.
There is certainlya bond that unltes MN
with Cahenslyites, if not with Cahensly-
ism in the strict sense; and the sooner that
bond is severed the better it will be for the
peace and prosperity Of the American
church ~

The preliminary objections Of Prof.
Briggs have been disposed. Charges four
and eight have been stricken out. 1t has
been decided that separate vote shall be
taken on different points in charge and
the scriptural citations are to be placed
under the charges instead Of under the
specification, where they figure in the in
dictment Of the prosecuting committee. AS
these are all points for which the accused
contended their concessions by the suf-
frages Of the judiciatory must be regarded
as a victory for Prof. Briggs and unneces-
sarily encourages those who endorse him
in the position which he has taken. To the
formal preferment of these amended
charges thus recommended, Prof Briggs
pleaded ''Not Guilty, at the last session Of
