40 Freeze out the Antf-Thtrd
Party Wen In the Convention.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-Now that the indus
trial conference is over, some peculiar
facts are being revealed, 1t is said the en-
tire affair from the issuing of
the eaIl BY the ocala conYen-
ton to the present day, was planned
and executed by J. B. Weaver, Ignatius
Donnelly, Herman 3. Taubenach, G. r..
Washburne, j. H. Davis, G. G. Post, Of
Georgia and J. L. L. Norton, of Chicago
1t became evident that the southern ele-
ment was strongly opposed to independent
political action, and the leaders in this line
were DR.. McCune and Ben Terrell, of
Texas, and Livingstone, of Georgia. Those
in favor of such action saw something de-
cided had to be done ahd quietly had the
convention called to meet in st. Louis, so
it wonld be near Kansas and Nebraska,
two strong alliance and third party states.
Matters were SO shaping themselves that
it was becoming necessary to destroy the
influence of the southern leaders. opposed
to third party action. Here the Wash
burne-Taabenach party showed its fnesse
with the aid Of Post, Of Georgia, and ]. H.
Davis, Of Texas. The alliance of those two
states was 50 worked upon as to come to
the support Of the third party. The anti
third party feeling having thus been prac-
tieally stamped out, the steerers came to
st. Louis and began their work here to
control the convention. With what sue

SIGNS OF A SEW ER
BUT CAMPS PLANS NOT LIKELY
TO BE UTILIZED.

Engineer G. MILLER Points out
the Merits and Dement'S of
Camps Ideas HE Does RIOS
Think well OF the Plans.
G. N. Miller, a noted sanitary engineer,
who is now constructing a sewerage sys-
TEN on Bellingham bay, was in the city to
day. This afternoonthe council held a spe
cial meeting to receive suggestions and have
Mr.. Miller pass upon the plans as proposed
by Mr.. Camp, and for which the city paid
81, 800.
So far as Mr.. Camps niapwas concerned,
Mr.. Miller complimented it highly, and
stated that there was an immense amount
Of work omit, but was rather of the opinion
that Mr.. Camp was more proficient in that
work than in sanitary engineering.
Camps plans,' he said, s'were after de-
signs by Col. Waring and have been tried
and are now4i in use in several cities. While
they were considered good when first put
IN use, they soon proved unsatisfactory.
This has fully been demonstrated BY the
many stoppages because of the smallness
of the pipe"
Mr. Miller's idea would be to divide the
city into three districts With separate sys-
tenn to each, SO that it could be built as re-
qulrcd. He would "a ewes Instance,
where practicable, utilize the alleys IN
stead of main thoroughfares. The reser-
yoirr, as proposed in the plans purchased
by the council, he said was not a success,
and had been tried in but one place, and
that was San Diego.
Camps plans, too, be considered indeh-
mite, lacking in the necessary statistics.
The six-inch pipe, as proposed by Camp,
was too small, and eight inches would be
nearer the size to accommodate the sew
erage.
He stated that if the council desired a
written opinion on the Camp plans ne
wonld giveit, but didn't think them worth
the time.

Piles which separate the republican and
democratic parties IN the approaching
presidential election, it, is necessary to

Some years ago Tacoma drove out all her

of sight in the little shanties and wash
houses of Seattle until he knows enough
about the country and language to pass
himself off before the court as a resident of
several years. standing, even if he is arrest

passes when several Cinnamon are not ar
rested, and though no one can have reas-
enable doubt that they have been smug-

custom officers estimate that atleast thirty

A SOLID SOLDIER.
GENERAL RUSSELL A. ALGER AND
HIS WAR HISTORY.

/ Hacked From Benin d by tAAe EOulest
Journalist, the Most Contenlptt-
BILE Newspaper and the Coward
Itest Cur in New York city.
While General Russell "A. Alger, the
soldier, is being hacked from behind by a
malignant camp follower who not once ex-
posed his body to confederate bullets. dur
ing the civil war, it may be we'll to recall a
fact or two in his history, says the New
York Advertiser:
Alger was a captain in the Second Mich
igan cavalry when Halleck was moving on
Corinth, Miss, in 1862. Gordon Granger
was colonel of the regiment. By his pro-
motion to brigadiership vacancy was
made, and the hunt for new colonel was
begun. Captain Phillip H. Sheridan was at
that time a commissary officer on Hal
leok's staff. One day, in front of Corinth.
Captain Alger, hearing General Granger
speak in high terms of Sheridan-bot of
them regular army officers-got on his
horse and rode twenty miles to the rear to
find Governor Blair of Michigan, who was
on a visit to his state troops, and was then
located at Pittsburg Landing. After much
discussion, he prevailed upon Governor
Blair to commission Sheridan as colonel
of the Second Michigan. He carried the
assignment to Sheridan, killing his horse
in the ride, and thus started gallant "Little
Phil" on his splendid military career.
A few days after taking command of the
Second, Sheridan started on a raid south of
Corinth to Boonville. At that point he
was attacked by 4,GC0 Confederates under
General Chalmers. A bloody battle was
fought. Sheridan was surrounded. He
detailed Captain Alger, then ill Of camp fe-
yer, to make a detour with two companies
of horses to the rear of the enemy. This he
did successfully, and his rear assault, ac-
companied by Sheridan's charge i'll front
routed the enemy and gave Sheridan his
first victory.
In ''Burf's Life of Sheridan, +" it is re-
lated that in this fight Captain Alger rode
for half a mile side by side with
Confederate trooper, each emptying his
revolver at the other His horse carried
him against a tree in the wild melee and
his ribs were broken. The account from
which the above is taken says Captain
Alger lost more than half his men," This !
brave action brought him a majors COM
mission.
And this soldier, the man who secured a
coloneley for Sheridan and helped him to
win his first battle, is branded as coward
and a skulker from duty by Charles A. |
Dana, who never wore d soldiers button
or faced an enemy of his country in the
field.

An Alliance Man.

Kalama Bulletin: One evening not long
since a tall, gray bearded stranger at the
post office approached two men in labor
ers' garb with the question: "Why, in the
ID, don't you fellows organize a farmers
alliance. and break these monopolies that
are grinding down the people r.
These men would not disparage the work
of any association calculated to benefit the
farmer or laborer, but when accosted by a
man loaded to the muzzle with whiskey,
and asked in the name of the devil Ito or
ganize an alliance their caution deters
them from allying themselves with the be-
ing named lest they fall into the clutches
of monopoly worse than the one from
which they are irving to escape.

INGERsOLL'S IDEAL.
The Eloquent Orator Before the New
York Unitarian Club.

Colonel Ingersoll addressed the New
York Unitarian club some time ago on
the subject of ''The Ideal" He said the
club showed it was not afraid of a man
simply because he does not happen to
agree entirely with it. He said he had
great respect for the Unitarian church.
The Unitarian church, had done more
than any other church-and maybe more
than all other churches to substitute
character for creed; and to say that man
should be Judged by his spirit; by the eli
mate of his heart, by the autumn Of his
generosity, by the spring of his hope:
that he shoul be judged by what he does !;
by the influence that he exerts rather than
by the mythology he may believe. He said
the Unitarians and UniYersaIists believe
In God who is gentleman, and that is
much-more than was ever done by an or
thodox church. They believe at best in a
Heavenly Father who will leave the latch
string out until the last child gets home
and as that lets me in, ] have great respect
for that church. Every man, he said, is
an idealist He sees or thinks he sees
something higher than himself. Religion,
he said, is all here in this world and ali our
duties are to our fellow men.
The religious man is he who puts the
dimples Of Joy in the hearts of those he
loves, and lets the. gods run heaven to suit
themselves. 10 make somebody else hap
pier is his religion. He thinks more Of
kindness than genius.
The greatest dream that has ever en-
tered the heart of man is the sDream of
Immortality, 1t was born of human affec-
ton; it did not come from any religion;
It has helped make religion and yet the
moment man expresses a doubt about
the truth of Joshua or Jonah, up hops
some little wretch and says, "Why he
doesn't want to live any more; he wants to
die and go down like dog, and that is the
end Of him and his wife and children.''
The ideal church he thinks is one that
will be in sympathy with the best human
brain. It will be one whose teachings and
work will make it impossible for it to be
said that they who do the most work have
the least to eat. He welcomes a religion
which will make men ashamed to have
forty or fifty millions, or any more than
they need, while their brethren lack bread,
while their sisters die from want. Let us
preach this grand religion until every
where-men are just and kind to each
other, and then if there be another world
we shall be prepared for it,
