lead in organizing the present Peoples
party. The National Grange of the
Patrons of Husbandry, called Changers
for short, had at one time about &c, 900
local Changers in the nation. The Farm
ers' Mutual Benefit association came
next, and has at least half million
members, chiefly west of Ohio. The
National Farmers league is strongest in
the eastern states, and the Colored
Farmers Alliance and Cooperative I'M
ion is necessarily strongest in the south,
but gives out no exact figures.
Out of all these grew the national
Farmers Alliance, which has its head
quarters in Washington, and it's platform
was put forth at Ocala, Fla, in Deem
Der, 1890, themuch abused ''subtreasury"
scheme being the chief point for criti-
clsm. Colonel L. l.. Polk, of North
Carolina, recently deceased, was it's
president. Its vice president is B. Fl.
Clover, of Kansas; its secretary treas
urer, j. FL. Turner, of Georgia, and it's
lecturer, J. F. Willetts, of Kansas. The
first attempt to combine with other la
Dor organizations was not success, but
on the goth of May, 1891, representatives
OF many industrial organizations at Gin
clnnati presented the platform of the
Peoples party. The st. Louis platform
of 1899 is now its recognized expression
of principles.
Hon. H. E. Taubeneck, of Illinois, is
chairman of the national executive COM
mittee and Robert Schilling, of Wiscon-
sin, is secretary. Among the active
men in the convention besides those
already mentioned will probably 10 DR..
G. w. Macune, of the Alliance; N. M.
Barnett, candidate for governor of Hi
nois; Anson J.. Streeter, of Illinois, the
Labor partys candidate for president in
1888; Congressman Moses, of Georgia;
General Weaver, G. G. Post, Mr.. Kolb, of
Alabama, and several who were once
prominent in the Greenback party,
The organization allows four dele
gates from each congressional district
and eight at large from each state, so if
every section of the country is repre-
sented the delegates will reach the sug-
gestive number of 1776. 1t is of course
impossible to estimate the voters behind
them, but some of the figures in the
elections of 1890 are startling in their
suggestion of possibilities. In the sec
ond Nebraska district William Arthur
McKeighan received SO, 1O4 votes to 22,-
996 for all others, while in the Third
district Omer Madison KEN had 81 1881
against %, 440 for the Republican, % 1853
for the Democrat and 961 for the Prohi-
bitionist. In South Dakota F. A. Leavitt
received "A ,907 votes, but was defeated,
while in Kansas B. Fl. Glover had 4,43O
majority, John Grant Otis 1896, John
Davis 5,4S4, William Baker 1914 and

A RIGHTEOUS pEcREE.

| Inc decree OF the district court rem
dered by Judge King yesterday, re-
turns the San Antonio and Arkansas
Pass railway to the hands of it's own
ers, and terminates the vexed ques'
ton of the receivership. The SAP
company, the court and the creditors
are all to be congratulated on this
outcome of the matter, while this city
and this whole southwest country
will hail the return of the road into
the hands of its owners as the begin
ming of better times for them. The
substance of the decree is such that
there can be no doubt of the prompt
payment of the creditors of the road,
as rapidly as their claims can be pre-
sented. otherwise the decree is void.
This action of the court is timely. 1t
allows the owners little time to pre-.
pare for the business of the cotton
season, and to lay their plans for
extensions and improved service dur
ing the slack season of the year.
A few days will see the road resum.
ing it's old time movement, when
President Lott and Manager Yoakum
were at the helm, and all that energy
and industry could accomplish in the
way of pushing the line into new
territory was done. Under the new
ownership there will be abundant
capital to do business with, and the
road will not be in the condition of an
energetic merchant trying to do a
large trade in the face of competition,
capital, as was always the
of the road heretofore.
There is no doubt that under the new
org snization every effort will be made
TO extend the lines of the road in
to profitable territory, and the
long deferred connection with the
mineral regions to our northwest |
will be made. This city has a pecu-
liar interest in this road, and q
general desire for its success is heard |
On every hand. With the payment of
ts debts the last vestige of complaint
against the road will die out. Its \
readiness to further every interest
and enterprise of this commercial
center has again and again been
and with increased
capital at its command its opportuni-
ties of usefulness will be correspond.
ingly increased. There is not now,
and there never has been, any doubt
of the good will entertained by the |
road Tor this city, and now there will |
be an opportunity for mutual assist
ance under the more favorable con.
ditions surrounding the road. San
congratulates the 8. A. P. on |
the end of it's financial trouble, and,
as it never had any other, looks con.
fdently to it's future.
