THE ALLIANCE OBJECTS
To Calling Upon Foreign Nations to Help
Settle Our Monetary Problems.

10 Cai1ng upon fOre1gn Nations to Help
Settle Our Monetary Problems.
MEMPHIS, Nov. CIV. R. Robinson, of
Texas, delegate to the national conven-
tion OF the Farmers Alliance, is yet in the
city. Yesterday he stated that no correct
report of the Alliance action regarding the
currency had yet been made. He was Chair
man of the committee that furnished the
resolutions to the Alliance in executive
session. and he gave a correct copy of the
resolutions as adopted, as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the Su-
preme Council of the Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union that the course on the part
of our Government in calling an interna-
tional conference to adjust purely Amer
lean question violates the spirit of the
Monroe doctrine. by which we have been
taught that Europ an powers should never
be permitted to exert any influence in the
political or material affairs OF any nation on
the American continent: and be It further
"Resolved, That we urge our represen ia
tives in Congress to protest against foreign
nations having anything whatever to do
with our financial systems, and that the
entire money question of our country be
settled by the American Congress according
to the demands of the great masses Of the
people: and be it further
"Resolved, That our members Of Con-
gress be furnished with a copy of these reso-
lutiOns.n

be corroborated by election results in
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and
Iowa, is also in accordance with the logic
of the case. The fact is that an adminis-
tration which has to distribute the offices
on the spoils plan is always weakened
after the spoil is divided. Even among
the politicians one appointment must ere
ate half a dozen disappointments, while
among the people the bestowal of an office
for political reasons rather than fitness cre-
ates widespread and justifiable dissatis-
faction. If the appointments were made
by recognized and impartial tests of fit
ness the result would be different.
The theory that the use of the of1ces is
necessary for party success is like the
similar one that large campaign funds are
essential-a political superstition encour-
aged for the benefit of the practical politi-
clans. 1t is contrary to the reason of the
case, and is utterly without foundation in
fact

THE BRIGHT SIDE.

While the failure of the strike at Home
stead presents features that are immedi-
ately unsatisfactory to the labor element,
it is pertinent to remind the public that
the ending of the struggle has its brighter
lights. Whatever wishes may be enter
tanned that it might have had different
result, all can unite in congratuation that
PittSburg's horizon is now almost entirely
clear of wages disputes, and that industry
can now 90 forward without interruption.
No observer can fail to have seen that
the Homestead trouble had an unfavora-
BILE effect on business. The violence of
the struggle was a disturber of confidence.
The large number of men kept without
wages for nearly half year restricted re-
tail business, limited collections and
lessened the amount of money circulating
in the hands of the people. Such influ-
ences spread through all the ramiications
of trade were enough to turn the scale be-
tween moderate activity and business
langour
The struggle being over, things will re-
sumo their normal course. Labor will re-
ceive wages, trade will be maintained in
lllC WOihClS WIN ouppLlCS, LuCl-
chants will find sales and collections more
satisfactory and money will pass from
hand to hand. Even what is one of the
most unfavorable aspects of the defeat of
the men-the fact that some of the Anal
& mated Association will not get back
their old places-is not withoutits alleviat-
ing view. Skilled workmen like them are
secure of employment somewhere. In
dustry has its uses for them; and while
they may be compelled to seek work at
some other mills, their industry and skill
will insure that they are not permanently
left without work.
The loss of wages and destruction of
life during the struggle cannot be re-
paired. But there is bright aspect in
the fact that the trouble is ended and that
business can now 90 forward steadily and
on its normal basis.

A LOCAL ART EPOCH,

The opening of the Art Society's per.
manent exhibition last night marks new
epoch at once in the progress of that So
ciety and in Pittsburg's future in art The
society has heretofore maintained cred
liable position in the encouragement of
artistic culture; but in establishing this
exhibition, with its scope for enlargement,
it has taken positive step toward broad
ening its force as factor in the artistic
field
The exhibition as it is opened presents
a very creditable collection of the work
of local talent. 1t is appropriate that the
start should thus be representative of
Pittsburg art: but its scope is much
broader than that 1t will present con-
stantly changing and ever new collection
of paintings of both home and foreign
artists. In this function and in Its pres
ent quarters it will presents more positive
and attractive artistic feature than our
city has heretofore possessed.
The importance and success of the exhi-
bition will be very materially increased
when the plans of the Carnegie gift as
sumo the concrete form. This exhibition
placed side by side with permanent gal
lery purchasing 1000 worth of Amer
lean art work annually will attract the
best examples of current art Both in
its influence on the commercial side of
art, and in its work of giving the people
constant access to the newest productions
of the cOuntry's artists, it will have ma
tionaI rather than local Importance
1t has always been pleasant to observe
the growth and success of the Art So
ciety. In this case the recognition must
be made of a step of more importance
than any other in Pit:sburg's art history,
except Mr.. Carnegie's endowment, with
which it is intimately associated.

A POLITICAL SUPERSTITION,

1t is worth while for those who uphold
the theory that the possession of Offices
establishes a powerful political engine to
give some attention to the testimony
which the late election adds to that al
ready on record. The idea is the basis of
the spois system in politics. The party
work must be done, the politicians urge,
and if the party workers are not given
that means of support the party will suf-
fer defeat This is the logic by which it
is argued that offices ought to be distrib-
uted among party workers; and the expe-
rience of the last three Presidential cam
paigns shows that it is entirely without
foundation in fact
Consider the fact that in three Presi-
dental elections the party having control
of the offices, and what becomes of the
doctrine? There may be some founda-
tion that an organization of office-holders
may exercise influence in shaping nom
inations. In sections where the party ma
jority is invincible this may insure cleo
ton and establish the nurture of rings.
But no better illustration of the way it
works when the popular vote is nearly
balanced can be given than the experience
referred to. In 1884, the Republicans
controlled the Federal offices and
were defeated In 1888 the Democrats
had the same alleged factor in their
favor and were also beaten. Some en-
thusiastic Republican politicians pro-
claimed that this victory properly i'm
proved.meant new lease of power to the
Republicans for quarter of century.
The result Of the improvement indicated
was the most tsevere defeat the Republican
party has sustained in its thirty-six years
of life.
This testimony of experience, which can

UNCLE SANS RAILROADS.
More Mileage in This Country Than in All
the Old World Combined

the Old World Combined.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29-The Census Office
to-day issued a bulletin giving statistics of
railway mileage of the world in 1890. 1t
shows that out of a total railway mileage for
the world of $40, 25l miles, the United States
have no less than 1853 597 miles, or AIS per
cent OF the whole; and that the railway
mileage Of the United States exceeds by
3493 miles the entire mileage of the Old
World, Europe's 1866 miles, Asfa's IS, ,79s
miles and Africa's 1892 miles, making an
aggregate of but 159 655 miles.
1t is interesting to note the astonishing
growth OF the railway mileage OF the United
State rom the census year of 1880, when
there were less than 40 miles o. railway, up TO
$780, In 1S40 the figures we're 755 miles, in 1856
they had riseI to s.571 miles, in 1850 the total
had swelled to 2S,9l9 miles; the census OF
1870 showed the mileage to be 40 1853 miles:
