Resolved, That we recognize an efici-
ent and perfect alien land law that shall
protect the homes of our people from the
soulless corp rations and avaricious greed
of foreign capital as being indespensably
neces ary for the maintenance and per-
petuation of American freedom.

The following terse warning from the
Southern Alliance Farmer should be
heded by the people for whose benefit
our great order was brought into exis-
tence: "This is the last struggle the
working people of America will make.
Ii they fail in this effort they will be
slaves. 1t is no time to strike for home
md fireside when our homes are gone.
Now is the time to strike the blow. It
is no time to be fighting over men or
means, but stand for measures and put
the men on record. We can accomplish
nothing when divided, but if we will
stand united we can obtain rilief."
~.
The following bill, which has attracted
considerable attention, has been intro
duced in the senate:
Section l.. That all past and present
issues of gold, silver and paper money
made, and all money of coinages author
lied to be made by authority of congress
shall be legal tender in payment Of all
debts, public and private, of future con
tract, all stipulations or specifications of
coin, coinages, or money to the contrary
Notwithstanding tender of subsidiary
silver coin to be limited to twenty dol
lars, and of minor coins to five collars.
If this should become law, gold
mortgages and gold interest would lose
their power to trouble and oppress.
The Georgia congressman in Washing
ton, who are members of the alliancet
are indignant at the charges which have
been made against them, to the effect
that Colonel Livingston simply intro
duced the subtreasury bill as blind. In
speaking of the matter Mr.. Moses said
tnat the delegation had selected Colonel
Livingston as the man to introduce the
bill, but in doing so they had decided
not to advocate its adoption as it is until
the alliance members of congress had
met in caucus and decided upon the best
thing to be pushed. He says all the alli-
ancemen are in favor of the subtreasury
plan in general way, but as to the best
direct measure to be pushed they have
not agreed.
Add two more States to the National
Farmers Alliance and Iuoustriai Unions
column. At their recent State meetings
the open Alliance of the States of Mime.
sofa and Nebraska voted unanimously
to consolidate with the National Farmers
Alliance and Industrial Union. Such
action demonstrates the wisdom and
power of conservative methods, and is
conclusive proof that the great north
west is not afraid of the so-called
Southern INVASION" The order in these
two States have carefully considered the
matter, and, in spite of political trickery
and falsehood, have joined their fortunes
with the National Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union. This will do great
good, since it brings with it all the power
and prestige that waits upon united
effort under one central management.
Doubtless during the year all reform
agricultural organizations will be con-
soIidated into one.-NationaI Economist.

A DASTARDLY ASSAULT.
John M'GinnIs Of Peabody, Struck
With a Hammer.
he REFUSED TO BUY POTATOES,
uls Wound IL Serious and He May Die
His AssaiIant Has . bad Police Re-
cord and Has Been Under Arrest at
Least Dozen Times.

PEABODY, Mass, July 20.-A most das-
tardly and unprovoked assault was COM
mitted upon John McGinnis at his house
In this town, last evening, by two rowdy
vegetable venders, who attempted to
force him TO purchase their wares. About
4 o'olook Mr.. McGinnis was seated upon
che front steps OF his house, when two
mon drove up and asked him II he want
cd to buy barrel OF potatoes for IS. He
replied, after looking at them, that he
would give a. The men became angered
At his offer and drove away. They soon
seturnsd, however, and again tried to
made bargain at s450.
Mr.. McClnnis would not pay the price,
but renewed his offer OF "a. The msn
swore and went away, only to return
again at o'clock. BY this time Mr.:
McGinpis had become disgusted and
told the pedlers that he did not
care to deal with them at any
0rure. They offered the barrel fer "a,
and when he refused one OF the twain
seized hammer and dealt him a severe
blow upon the forehead.
McGinnis fell and the men fed toward
the Lynn line. One OF them was soon
captured and gave his name as Timothy
Mccarthy of Lynn. The other, who COM
mitted the assault, 10 thought to be Rob-
ert II. Creighton OF Lynn. He is at large.
Mc0uinnis Is badly hurt and IL is feared
he may die. The police are searching
Lynn woods for the offender.
Creighton has bad police record, hav-
ing been arrested no less than ten or
twelve times for drunk assaults, threat
ening his wife and obstructing public
ways. He is fruit dealer by occupation.

The sargasso Sea.

The sargasso Sea, or floating masses OF
gul weed In mid Atlantic, which impeded
the ships of Columbus 400 years ago, has
been the subject of careful study by DR..
Krummcl, q German mareogrspher, who
takes different view OF It's origin from
that commonly accepted. He shows, to
begin with, that the sea Ia much moro
extensive than Humboldt supposed. The
middle, or thickest part, 10 elliptical In
form, the great axis lying along the
Tropic of Cancer, and the foci at forty
fve degrees and seventy degrees west
longitude. Around this are more ex-
tensive but thinner accumulations OF the
weed, which vary with the prevailing
winds.
The gulf weed (fucus natans), which,
with its little round "berries," Is not
unlike tho mistletoe in form, but Of
brownish- yellow color, has been thought
to have lost Its property OF roofing on
rocks, and to have acquired the power OF
living ahoat. It has even been suggested
that the sea marks the site of submerged
continent, apparently the lost Atlantis.
DIR. Krummel holds that the weed has
simply been drifted to its present posi-
tion by the Gulf Stream and its afiiuence
from the West India Islands and the Gulf
of Mexico. Il Ia now proved that the
Gulf Stream is not single narrow river
of the ocean," ~ Maury POLITICALLY de-
scribed it, but consists Of q number OF
currents-not only from the Mexican
Gulf, but the Antilles.
The weed, according to DR.. Krummel,
would take fifteen days to fioat as far
north as the latitude Of Cape Hatteras,
and five and 4 half months to reach the
Azores. In the Sargasso Sea 1t becomes
heavy and sinks; but the supply is kept
up by the Gulf Stream. DIR. Krummel is
certainly right in giving the Sargasso Sea
q much wider area than Humboldt did
and than our maps usually portray.
It has been encountered some 200 or 300
miles northeast OF Barbadoes; but
whether the weed In solely carried from
the West Indies and the Gulf 10 perhaps
open to doubt.-London Globe.

STRIKERS WILL FIGHT.


They Intend to Contest the Murder Cases
and Retaiiate In Kind.
PrrrsBURo, Pa, July 20.-Secretary Love-
Joy states that number Of new informa-
tions for murder have been made against
Homestead strikers and warrants placed
in the hands of constables for arrest.
The locked out men at Homestead pro-
pose to make a great legal fight for the
acquittal Of the persons against whom In
formations have been made. They hope
to secure tho services of Gen. Benjamin
r. Butler, and Ex-Governor Hoadley OF
Ohio.
1t is now believed O'Donnell's Eastern
mission was to confer with Gen. Butler
at his home.
An Associated Press representative
made q tour of the Homestead steel mills
yesterday, being the only newspaper man
who has succeeded In gaining admission
behind the fence which surrounds the
property. He found about $50 men at
work, most of them now employees. The
assistant superintendent of the plant,
said number of men had applied for
employment yesterday and he expected
quite a number Of such applications to-
day.

Abyssinia is Q country where, II mar
riage is a failure, IL can be easily dis
solved. There is absolutely no legal or
holy tie. When man In desirous Of mar
rying . girl he directly applies to her
parents. The maidens, like those In
many European countries, arc seldom
consulted on the question; the lover ar
ranging with the father or male relatives
regarding her dover, which generally
means a few becves, sheep, or pieces OF
cloth, and sometimes gold.
On the marriage day the bridegroom
presents himself with his best man at
the house of his future father in law.
Much feasting igoes on till the bride Is
carried off by her husband, generally on
his shoulders, while the male relatives
closely follow, making a canopy OF their
togas to keep OF the rays OF the sun, or
perhaps the effects OF the evil eye. Be-
hind come o crowd OF young girls and
boys, methodicslly lifting their arms
above their heads and clapping their
hands TO the measured beating OF tom
toms carried by men running along the
f1snks Of the procession, who also blow
long trumpets.
The happy couple that I saw married
outstripped their followers, with the ex-
ception Of their best man, and at last
reached the town green, where the
groomsmen formed q screen with their
eloaks round the happy pair, when the
deferred courtship began.--Century.

Will He Arbitrates
HOMESTEAD, Pa, July 2O.-Governor
Pattison and staff arrived here yester-
day and were escorted from the train to
General Snowden's headquarters by sew
eral hundred cavalrymen. Gov. Pattison
took the shortest cut from the train to
the camp and thus did not appear at the
usual station at Homestead. In this way
the frat intimation the strikers and
their families had OF his presence was the
firing OF artillery, supposed by many to
mean that another riot had broken out
and that another day OF bloodshed had
already begun.
Governor Pattison's primary purpose
In coming Is to inspect the state troops.
The probability of the Governor attempt
ing to take q hand at arbitration be-
tween the Carnegie Company and the
strikers was broached, but the staff OFF,
GERS who had accompanied him on the
train from Harrisburg did not express
any confidence that peace overtures
would be inaugurated through official
channels very soon, II at all. The same
topic was brought up at Amalgamated
headquarters Immediately after the Gov
ernor's arrival, but no strong belief was
heard that anything encouraging would
result, however much 1t be hoped Tor.
