THE NATIONAL ORGAN.

The question of a national organ
was fully considered. The Commit
tee decided not to establish such an
organ at present, but to make ar
engagements with the State organs of
the Alliance in each State and with
several other of the largest Alliance
papers by which the the official mat
tiers for publication should be pub
Ished for them, under the depart
ment designated for that purpose.
This will enable the President of the
National Alliance and other Nation
al officers to reach the people in every
quarter of the country at once, with
all important information and orders.
CONFEDERATION OF KINDRED
ORGANIZATIONS.
With a view of securing confeder-
alton ana close relation with all farm
er organizations, a special commit
tee was appointed TO confer with the
officials of such organizations, with
view TO secure the next annual ses-
sion, at the same time and place. A
committee with the President of the
National Alliance as chairman was
appointed to meet a Committee of
the Knight of Labor, and other or
CARNATIONS at st. Louis, June 18th.
This action was taken on invitation
of Grand Master Sovereign, of the
knights of Labor.
SUMNER ENGAGEMENT AND BUSI-
NESS AGENCY.
A committee with Col. II. c.. Dem
ming as chairman, was appointed to
examine various sites for Farmers
summer encampment; and also sites
near some large seaport town for a
Business Agency and Exchange
through which trade arrangements
can be made for all of the State Bus
mess Agencies and Exchanges.
INSURANCE.
The question of Insurance was
considered at length by the Commit
tee, and the meeting of the Commit
tee which is called for June 18th, at
Topeka, Kansas, is for the purpose
of examining into the Alliance AID
Degree or Insurance department of
the National Alliance. The Com
mittee after consulting able legal
counsel, filed notice with the proper
authorities of application for certain
amendments of the charter of the
organization. Judge Foster, the
special Nitrate agent of the Chilean
government, appeared before the
Committee with a view of getting
the farmers interested in the Chill
can Nitrate of Soda, which is one
of the largest export products of that
country. If proper details are
the Committee will proba-
bly, make contract for the use of
this valuable fertilizer. |

THE TERMS OF JUDGES.

The Supreme Court in response to
request of the Governor has rend-
cred a decision as to the terms Of
Judges elected to succeed Judges
who did not serve out their terms.
They decided that they serve for the
unexplred term only. 1t will be re-
membered that Attorney General Os
borne's opinion was that they were
elected for full term of eight years.
The opinion is signed by the Judges
whose terms are not effected by the
opinion. This means that four Su-
preme Court Judges will be to elect
this year. THE CAUCASIAN thinks
this opinion is correct.

CAPT." BUCK" KITCHENS CARD.

We publish in this issue Of The
CAUCASIAN a card from Capt. W. II.
Kitchin. Notice that he says that
he was one Of those Democrats who
promised the people during the last
campaign, that if they would give
the Democrats chance and they did
not repeal the bad Republican laws
and give the people relief, that he
would leave the party and 60 with
the people into the Peoples party.
He thinks il is now time to keep his
promise, in as much as the party lead
ers have betrayed the people. He
says that no good Democrat can fol
low the leaders of the Democratic
party any further.
LATER - After Capt. Kitchin's
card was printed and the above was
in type, we have received another
card from him. If there could pos
sibly be any doubt about his inten-
tions in the first card it is entirely re-
moved by the second. 1t will be
published in full in next issue.

WASHINGTON, D. G., May II, 81.
Especial 70 The CAUcAsIAN,I
Health officers Of the District OF
Columbia condemned the site or
which Coxey and his army was camp
ing. Being unable to get a de-
sirable site in the City, he on last
Saturday moved his army six miles
from Washington to the suburbs of
Hyattsville in Maryland. What his
program is, is not definitely known.
Some think he will stay until re-
cruits join him; others think that
he does not really desire any further
recruits, but intends to camp in and
around Washington as long as Con
gres5 is in session. Coxey, Brown
and Jones were convicted last Friday
for stepping on the grass in the
Capitol grounds on May the irsL
This was the charge on which they
were tried. Their lawyers have en-
tered "a motion for a new trial they
say that this is an outrage, that not
only twenty thousand people stepped
on the grass on May the first, but
thousands Of Others have, and some
ohe does almost every day III the
year. They say that he was really
tried for his opinions Oh public Ques-
tiOns, and that his conviction means
that he is condemned by the powers
that be for getting other men to
think with him on a line different
from the Administration and its
followers.

SIMMONS CONFIRMATION.
+. NJ. Simmons, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee of
North Carolina, was confirmed for
| Internal Collector last Saturday.
This is almost an insult to the men,
ory of the lamented Senator Vance.
1t is we'll known that if he had lived
that this machine politician never
would have gotten pensiOned by the
government for his work in the last
campaign in North Carolina. While
Vance was sick in Florida, the ma
chine was constantly threatening to
90 ahead and confirm Simmons with
out waiting for Vance to return.
They charged that Vance should not
delay the matter, but should return
to Washington and let action be tax
en- on the matter one way or the
other. When Vance did return he
served notice on Senator Ransom and
others that he was ready to take &C
ton on the Simmons matter. But
finding that the majority was against
Simmons, the matter was again post
poned at the request of Senator Ran
som. If Senator Jarvis claims to
stand in Vance's shoes in the Senate
and to execute the will of the people
for the remainder of his term, then
he should have carried out the wishes
of Senator Vance and the people.
Vance's last public statement was,
that he was fighting Simmons be-
cause he was opposed to the North
Carolina machine. 1t is now to be
supposed that Jarvis is for the ma
chine.
NATIONAL ALLIANCE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE.
President Butler, of the National
Farmers Alliance and The Indust-
rial Union, arrived in Washington
last Tuesday and registered at the
National Hotel. The National Ex-
ecutive Committee soon Joined him,
and their meeting was held in one of
the parlors of the National Hotel,
Maj. Mann of Virginia, who is one
of the members of the Executive
Committee, did not arrive until the
evening Of the 10th. He is Grand
Master of the State Lodge of Masons
of Virginia, and was detained at
Fredericksburg, where he offciated
at the unwilling of the Mary Wash
ington Monument. The Committee
was in session until Saturday. Gen
eral Warner, the President of the
Bimetallic League called on the Com
mittee, and had a conference with
President Butler. The result of
their conference is not known. The
Committee sent a Memorial to Con-
gress while in session urging the APP
pointment of Committee to inyes-
tigate the causes of the present in
dustrial depression. They said that
they deplored the moving of the
large body of men towards Washing
ton as much as they deplored the
cause that made it possible for men
like Coxey and others to organize for
that purpose; but the fact, made it
the duty of every patriot to inquire
into the cause.
At the invitation of the National
Typographical Union, President But
Ter went up to the Capitol on Friday
and appeared before the Committee

CITY Finances and Electrio-Lisbt Plant

Should the city Of Richmond own ana
operate an electric-light plant? we say
YES: but we are bound 10 add that ms
is not a favorable opportunity to press
the question TO a vote in the City Coun-
Gil.
In each branch Of the City Councli
there are friends OF municipal ownership
who will not vote for any Appropriation
OF this description until the Committee
on Retrenchment and Reform and the
Finance Committee have made an exhibit
showing that the present income OF the
city is sufficient TO pay all current eX-
penses and keep down the floating debt.
Until this point Is made clear no we'll
visher Of Richmond should desire to see
another dollar appropriated unless to
meet some great eXigency. And we mucn
fear that such an eXigency is at hand
IN the matter of supplying high points
with water. Our water-takers Will not
consent 10 pay full bills much longer
unless they are guaranteed full water
supply.
With these two impediments cleared
away the Dispatch may be relied on TO
support, with all OF It's might and main,
an appropriation TO put up a good, sub
ytantial electric-light plant. We want
nothing cheap: nothing that Is not good
Nor do we ask the City Council to wait
until electrical machinery has been per-
fected: II We are 10 wait for that we
shall have to wait an indefinite time
Similarly. IL we had awaited the perfec-
ton of the steam engine there would not
be steam engine in Richmond to-day.
1t is because We want to see this move
ment success and not failure that we
urge its friends not 10 push II now-not
to push 1t until we see how our ex3ens'
account stands and have given to water
lakers on high points in the city th'
supply that they pay for and for which
they have been clamoring a long. Ions

BE Ignorant No Longer.

A F1uvanna gentleman OF much intelli-
yence writes to us asking III the Dis
patch cannot tell something Of the talked
Of amendment TO the State Constitution 10
be voted FOR this fall?' and, he adds,
"rhe people are totally ignorant OF It,"
III any reader OF this paper is ignorant
II is because he has chosen not TO read
the scores and scores Of articles we have
published on the subject.
However, here is the case in nut
shell: Our Supreme c. art Of Appeals
yesr or two ago decided that It was UNI
constitutional 10 try any person accused
OF petit-larceny, etc. without jury So
justices Of the peace have been deprived
OF the jurisdiction they long had had IN
many petty cases. All these cases. no
matter how insignificant the sum involved
now 40 70 the grand jury. and USUALLY
thence 10 u petit jury. The costs thus
piled up are enormous They form one
Of the chief items OF our crimina
chsrges-one OF the great burdens upon
the taxpayer.
Now. the General Assembly asks that
the voters OF Virginia 10 10 the polls IN
November and declare whether they Wish
for this condition OF things 10 continue
or not. Those citizens who are In favor
Of comforting upon our General Assembl,
the power 70 make laws authorizing
magistrates TO try petty cases will vote
FOR THE AMENDMENT. while those
who wish to continue the present useless
ana extravaganza charges upon the public
treasury viii vote AGAINST THE
AMENDMENT. IL the amendment il
adopted. laws viii be passed restoring 10

A Word for the Exposition

President Wood and his associates OF
the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical
Society have shown marvellous pluck and
determination In the face OF great OBJ
stacles in working up our Exposition.
and we are rejoiced to know that their
efforts are quite certain 10 be crowned
with success.
Let us now begin TO show our appre-
citation OF their labors: let us do justice
10 them and to ourselves and add 10
Richmond's laurels by making the open
Ing day-Tuescay noxt-a general holl-
day when every man and woman In the
community who can spare the admission
price will consider II matter Of duty TO
be present. Thus the society will at
once be put at ease as to the financial
prospect and thus we shall have a grand
family gathering Of patriotic Richmond
ers.
We feel sure that the exhibition is
going 10 be creditable one-one well
worth seeing; but II Il were not TO be
half as good as II promises TO be- this
community would owe II Its patronage
and owe TO the promoters of II honor and
thanks.
Not always 90 we properly appreciate
the good things which are ours. Indeed.
there are some Richmonders who would
never cease praising such an exhibition
as we are going to have If they saw II
elsewhere. but who are hardly willing to
70 out 10 our Exposition Grounds TO see
what is offered there for the public In
spection.
Let US reform this altogether. Let us
patronize the Exposition literally and
value II properly. And to make good
substantial, Iecord-breaking beginning
prepare to close your place OF business
on Tuesday next and go to the EXPOSE
ton with all OF your household and carry
along with you the stranger that Is WITH
In your gates.
You who have been asked TO help the
EXPOSITION IN no other way should no"
help to make 1t a success in point OF pa
tronage; that is the least you can do
that you should be delighted to do.

INDEPENDENCE, VA. October g.
(Special) -Wednesda was red-letter

two hours, delivering one of his charac-
teristic speeches. holding his hearers IN
bated breath all the while. lie answered.
the objections Of the Republicans 10 the
Walton election-law in an able and ef1ec-
tive manner. He said that while the Oil!

spects that ii was right in principle. that
heretofore the illiterate voter was at the
mercy of INSCRIPTIONS persons IN many
instances, while under this bill his ballot
is prepared by a sworn of1cer "HlCh

polls and voted TO disfranchlse those VINO

In New York John Davenport had
arrested thousands on their way 10
the polls; locked them up until next
morning. when they were discharged with
out trial, simply to keep them from vot-
ing the Democratic ticket. He said That
the Fifty-nrst Congress turned out Demo-
cratic members without facts or reason,
but simply 10 swell their majority In order

wanted such legislation as would keep

| Republicans on the cry of hard times.
| He said that the Democrats were not

| more liberal than the Republicans; that
| he didn't claim that the hard times were
| the result OF legislation; but If they
| were the result Of legislation, II was

CLEVELAND WILL HELP.
Tho President Anxious for Harmony an"
the Election OF HILL

the Election or Hill
have high authority for the statement
that the President not only desires mar
mony In the Democratic ranks In New
York. but will soon. through letter 10
one OF his friends, make known In no
m,stakable terms his anxiety for concert
NJ action In the support Of the Hill ticket.
From the same authority. says the
Washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald, learn that Secretary La
mont's present visit TO New YORK was the
direct result of telegram receNeu py
him from the President yesterday,
stating. in effect, that Mr.. Whitney
wanted him in New York to aid In re-
storing harmony, and that ne had better
20. thus it may be said that the Presi-
dent has already begun active work In
behalf of the Saratoga ticket.
II is believed here that President Cleve-
land and Mr.. Whitney are displaying
good political judgment in working TO
hiring harmony I'm New York this year.
II IS pointed out that II Senator Hill Is
elected much OF the credit for his sue
cess will be given to the administration
and 10 Mr.. Whitney, and the chances OF
the latter for the presidential nomination
I'm 1896 will thus be greatly Improved.
while II the Democratic ticket should
be defeated. the defeat would be followed
by determinations of all sorts and eacn
faction In the State would try TO tasten
the responsibility upon the other, with
the result that the breaches between the
administration and anti-adminisIatlon
factions in the State would be widened
and Il would be impossible for any New
York man to secure the presidential nomi-
r.ation in 1896.
Vice-Presldent Stevenson will deliver a
few speeches In New York before tn
