the third party, which supports them;
and this manifesto expressly declares
that the principles of the order are 'su-
preme' and that party obligations
must give way to devotion to alliance
principles.
"While the conference did not have
the honesty, courage and candor to
make an unequivocal statement of it's
purpose it can be ascertained without
difficulty by subjecting the language OF
its declarations to little analysis and
by reasoning from its premises to the
conclusion. To put the whole argu-
ment contained in the mass of verbiage
into the form of a syllogism it may be
stated thus: Wherein party affiliations
are inconsistent with devotion to the
principles of the alliance, the former
must give way to the latter.
"Affiliation with the democratic party
which opposes the alliance demands, is
inconsistent with devotion to alliance
principles. Therefore alliancemen must
cease to affiliate with the democratic
party.
"Such is the ultimatum issued by this
high council of the alliance. II is IN sub
stance an official severance Of all ties so1tacA
bind dllidncenaea to the democratic party.
The only question which naturally pre-
sents itself is, what right had this con-
ference to read all members of the order
out of the democratic party? These
gentlemen have perfect right to get out
of the party themselves; and now hav-
ing done so we hope they will no longer
claim the right to participate in demo-
cratic primaries and dictate the action

Emo PlutOcrataC Press North and SoWth
Dtnsr Widely Concerning ths Bazuanr-
ham Conferences.
IL Is both amusing and edifying to
note the widely divergent opinions ex
pressed by the partisan newspapers
concerning the address promulgated by
the Birmingham, Ala, conference. In
the west, northwest and north a ire
mendous, effort is being made by the
old party organs to keep. the members
OF the alliance and other Industrial or.
carnations from going intcsthe peoples
party. In line with this effort is. the
endeavor to make it appear that the al
lance in the southern states is reliably
democratic and that southern alliance
men have no intention of voting any
ticket other than the democratic. Full
well do these plutocratic leaders know
that SO soon as it is known that there is
a prospect of political revolution in
the heretofore solid south there. viii be

!rec0ncil.ble with the former. n
spite Of all the swash Of words
which surround it it is practically
q declaration for the third
party. The principles of the alliance
are to be supreme; every man who
values his partisan affiliations more
than his alliance obligations who
would, for instance, follow the demo-
cratic party in preference to the alliance
when they disagree, is to be informed
that the order demands strict and full
devotion to its principles 1t is de-
claced to be the duty of every mSmber

1t is the unanimous belief of the
members OF alliance No. 1862, that
it is OF much greater Importance to
supply the Campaign Lecture fund
with plenty OF money to successfully
carry out the purposes Of the cam

cution this year therefore,
Resolved, That we hereby direct,
that the money ($5) heretofore sent
by this alliarc e be withdrawn from
the Prosecution fund and added to
the Campaign Lecture fund.
Resolved, That the secretary for
ward these resolutions to the GREAT

est appeal to all local alliances to
take the same action and to do all
that can be done to raise sufficient
money to keep the best lecturers
that can be obtained in the field

A voluntary contribution was then
taken up amounting to $40 to be
forwarded with these resolutions.

The sub-treasury bill, as proposed
by the Farmers Alliance and Industrial
union, is alleged by some of il, oppo-
nents to be class law in favor of the
farmers We deny it, though it may
seem SO at first blush. If it specially
favors any class it is the merchants.
The merchant carries the hard-up
farmer for months without interest
while, the latter is waiting for favor
able market. Should the sub-treasury
system be adopted, the farmer, short
of money, would get money from the
government and Immediately hand, it
over to the merchant. Now who would
have the use of this money for the short
time it would be out-the farmer or the
merchant? It would cost the farmer
one per cent, while it would cost the
merchant nothing. Missouri World.

TIE CHILDREN OF DICKENS.
Nothing i'm Their Careers to Show the
Heredity of Genius.

The second son of Dickens was Francis
Geoffry Dickens. And some of us who
have mixed the newspaper life of Lon
don and Chicago and Calcutta knew him
well, for one must write the sad past
tense. Dear Frank Dickens was born in
the year 1S41-he was the fourth child.
In his .pote book the novelist wrote: "A
plump and merry little chap, this second
son of mine"
Poor little chap!
He caught the Fleet street fever and
went ink mad; he caught the DahooIey
fever and flashed and fleshed and blooded
his sword in India he fought Louis Riel
in Canada-aye, and captured Big Bear;
he came to Chicago and gambled away
his money in a Clark street gambling
house; he died one windy slcety night in
a grim, little Illinois town-MoIine.
There he is buried
But his brother Henry did well; won
the second scholarship at Trinity Hall at
the age of 90 and was goth wrangler in a
fair year, when the wranGlers We're over
40. He is now a successful barrister,
with wife and five children.
And the daughters of Dickens? The
oldest is unmarried; the other is Mrs.
"Kittie" Perugini, deservedly well
known portrait painter Mrs Kit
ties" fame-if one must be fairly accurate
lis wee, small affair, but then she has
done something; she has painte the por-
trait of that baronet of baccarat, Sir Will
liam Gordon Cumming.
Mr.. Junior Charles Dickens has three
daughters. Two of them run a type
writing establishment off Covent Garden,
the third, Mary, is playing small parts ia
stock company touring the provinces.
No-genius is not hereditary.

'''j Introduces to its readers as a "cel-
cua-.l and accomplished army officer"
has expressed himself at length against
the present uniform of the German
troops Tie radical fault Of the uniform
h0- al ways been that it WAS too gay, and
this fault has been aggravated tenfoId by
the Introduction of smokelsss powder.
1h= brllhancy Of polished metal helmets
au4 bu.oHs Will hereafter betray the APP
pruachiug enemy at a great distance. In
a field OF stuDble or on the highway the
dark blue jackets and trousers are in
striking contrast with the natural sur
rouudings. The new uniforms of the
Russian army, introduced by War Min
lister WaHuOwsky are devoid OF every
thing that attracts the eye, and by far
the most practical of all uniforms in
Europe The blouse has hooks instead of
buttons, and the leather trimmings are
black The cloth is of dead green and
the oyercoat is of an earth color. In.
fanlry and cavalry go into battle wearing
field caps. Even when near at hand
Russian regiment is hardly distinguish
able by the naked eye. The reform i'll
the German uniform should begin with
the abolition of the helmet and the intro
ductjon of the field cap, waterproof and
with a large oyerhanging crown, but
without front piece. For the present
closeG,ling tightly belted coat with but
tons should be substituted a loose jacket
with hooks and eyes. The cloth should
be dark and in harmony with some pre-.
yailing color of nature. All adjuncts of
the uniform should be dark aud unpol.
ished. White leather, metal belt clasps,
polished steel scabbards, polished handles
of side arms, and the colors on the lances
should be abolished or hidden. The gay
aljutant's sashes should be replaced with
53shes in s0mber colors. These reforms
are urgent, for in the next war the chances
Of victory will be unusually large in
favor of the general who can most success
fully conceal he movements of his troops.
France and Russia recognize this fact,
and rejoice in the gay appearance of the
German army of to-day. These sugges-
tions for reform have been endorsed by
almost all Berlin, Frankfort, and Munich
Gajiies.
