Tindal on the Alliance,

Secretary Of State Tindal and Col. D. P.
Duncan, the representatives Of the South
Carolina State Alliance to the annual
meeting of the National Farmers ALI
ance in Memphis, Tenn, last week, re-
turned to the city yesterday. Mr.. Tindal
was seen and asked about his ideas on
the final effect of the Third party people
getting control of the National Alliance,
and for general expression of his views
on the future of the Alliance in and out
of politics.
In replying he said: IT hope that the
election OF the officers will result all
right. The public seems to have some.
what of an erroneous impression of the
result Of the meeting. All care to say
Is that when the Alliance first met it was
soon ascertained that party OF outsiders
connected with the Third party were
working to try to make the Alliance a
kind of annex to the Third party, This
was very strongly opposed, and I think
that when the Alliance adjourned it was
thoroughly agreed by all parties, that the
Alliance must be kept an entirely nom
partizan organization.
"There was no objection from the first
to the officers proposed, but only to the
use of the Alliance for any political party.
The friction was all caused there. think
that after all that has transpired, the
Third party officers will not attempt to
use tho Alliance for their political party
ends.
"I think also that the attacks upon DR..
Macune originated with these outsiders i;
the protest was made by the conservative
members, and al except two or three Of
the extreme Third partyites conceded
DIR. Macune's entire innocence of all the
charges brought against him. p Columbia

Sunday Opening Favored.

CHICAGO, Nov. 11.-At regular meet
ing of the Worlds Fair Directors this
afternoon, resolution was passed favor

The directors declare that ali the nations
of the earth have been invited to attend
the Fair and it would be highly discour-
teous and inhospitablo to inform them
that hey cannot do on Sunday what they
would do were they at homo.
Closing the gates on Sunday, says the
resolution, means that thousands of arti-
sans and mechanics to whom the exhibi-
ton will be of estimatable advantage will
not be able to attend.
The directors say they are in favor Of
allowing every nation to hold within the
grounds such religious services as it may
desire on Sunday. They also think it
desirable that the gates should be open
to allow visitors from different portions
OF the Union to meet socially at their
State buildings.

TIE COTTON oROP-ANDERsoN as A
MARKET.

The News and Courier has published
what purports to be fair estimate Of the
cotton crop of this country. The reports
indicate that the crop will fall short Of tho
average by from one-fourth to one-third.
For instance, the report from Mississippi
estimates the yield in that State at 65O,00O
bales, the average crop being 1000, 900
bales. There is corresponding short
ness of crop in most of the States. The
News and Courier says: "The truth OF
the reports was believed in New York,
as the market responded to the estimate
Off 5000, 600 bale crop by big advance
in prices"
In this connection we wish to again call
attention to Anderson as cotton market.
re are reliably informed that our buyers
have at times given three-fourths Of a
cent more for cotton than some neigh
boring markets that claim to always give
the stop Of the market" It is said to be
fact that the market hare has sometimes
been considerably: higher than the New
York market itself.
It looks as If those who still have cot
ton to sell will get ten cents or even more
for it. And We risk nothing in saying
that the Anderson buyers will give the
highest prevailing prices, il indeed they
do not raise on the New York market.

"These figures are taken from report

=, One Of tae many benefits Of the recent
Democratic triumph, says the Atlanta
IonrndIh will be to give the people
cheaper clothing. The tax on wool has
been called the keystone of the protective
system. Well, the keystone must come
eut. Whatever tariff bill the Democratic
Congress may pass, it is certain that it
will abolish the tariff on wool. The
Democratic House of the present Con-
gTess passed bill to that effect, but it
will OF course. never be accepted by the
present Senate. The Senate will be re-
generated after the 4th of March, and
then win be ready to respond to the de-
s.msnds Of the masses, rather than to those
ofa:few protected monopolies.
The tax on wool is absolutely indefen-
5sible, even from protectionist stand
point. It benefits no Americas industry,
while it increases the cost Of every
woo1en garment which our $4,000, 900
people wear.
The price of American wool would
be better if the tax on foreign woods
were abolished, because in almost all
our woolen manufactures domestic and
foreign woods are mixed. Free wool
will undoubtedly increase the quantity
and variety of the woolen fabrics made
in this country and thus increase the de-
mand for homo grown wool.
The United States Is about The only
civilized government which maintains
tax on raw wool. The Dry Goods Econ
omist recently made full investigation
of the subject and reached conclusion
which it expresses as follows:
stIn view Of the brazen attempt at
further oppression OF manufacturer and
consumer alike, it may be interesting to
note what other nations do in regard to
the admission of wool grown without
their own borders:
Great Britain, raw wool free; Austria,
raw wool free; Denmark, raw wool free;
Italy, raw.wool free; Sweden, raw wool
free; Rnmania, raw wool free; Turkey,

denied the published statement that at a

promises to them in return for their sup
port at his election. The editorial says !:
1.-THE truth as to what the practitioners

Cleveland would make no promises or
anything Of the sort to any Of them, or
to, or for, any others through them; that

on tho contrary, had sought him; he
considered the success of the ticket in

Last night, at q dinner given by the
Manhattan Single Tax Club, Mr.. Thomas
G., Shearman of Brooklyn said that ut
the now historical dinner there we're
present: Messrs. Cleveland, Whitney,
Dickinson, Edward Murphy, Jr., Richard
Croker and Lieutenant Governor Shee-
han.
"Mr. Cleveland has not told me any
thing about the pledges he made" said
Mr.. Shearmap, hbut there happens to be
telephone in the room where thai din
ner was hold, which has conveyed to me
what happened"
Mr.. Shearman then pictured Lieutenant
Governor Sheehan as standing up and
addressing Mr.. Cleveland on tho subject
of pledges.
MIR. Cleveland replied to Mr.. Sheehan {:
"Mr. Sheehan, have listened with the
utmost attention to what you have said.
have followed yop very carefully, and
I think understand you perfectly, and
what have to say in reply, Mr.. sheehan,
is that I will be damned before I'll pledge
myself to any man on any subject what
ever, and I'll be doubly damned before
give to you those particular pledges for
which you have asked at this particular
time"

A Woman for Attorney General.

HELENA, Mon, November 12.-Mon-
tana has at last made something new
under the sun. It is woman Attorney
General-a young woman, and pretty
one at that. The populists, who have
done 30 many queer things, have this
peculiar political freak also to their credit.
And yet there is little doubt Miss Ella
l.. Knowles, who has been elected to
Office, will make on excellent Attorney
General. She is full of brains, dauntless,
self-confdent and plucky. She had two
contestants against her-Haskell, Repub-
licnn, and Day, Democrat. She leads
them both by 300 votes.
Miss Ella l.. Knowles, Attorney Gen.
oral-elect of Montana, was born % years
ago in Northwood, N. II. She is a grad
uate of Bates's College at Lewiston, Me-,
and has taken the degree of Master Of
Arts from that institution. Her legal
studies were prosecuted in the law Office
OF Burnham 4; Brown in Manchester, n.
H., and later in Helena, Mon. There
was considerable prejudice against allow
ing her to practice.
So the plucky young woman went to
work to influence the Legislature-it was
tho Territorial Legislature of 1883 -S9-to
pass bill admitting women to practice

stand her, and the bill was passed. In
December, 1890, she was admitted to the
Bar, and now she has practice Of which
many men would be proud, to say moth
ing OF her prospects politically.
Miss Knowles is described as being
very womanly in appearance. She is the
only woman lawyer in the State, but even
into her profession she carries the gentler
virtues. She has all woman's keen
sensibilities and tender sympathies, and
all the roughness of Western life with
which she has come in contact has not
impaired these qualities. In appearance
she is more like demuro young matron
than q stern Portia. She is of medium
height, neither thin nor stout, has face
which, while strong and firm, is also
pretty. She believes in her right to prac-
tice law and to be paid for her legal servi-
ces, and she believed in her right 10 be
