HELP OURSELVES.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
SALISBURY, N. @.
Under the above caption several
things suggest themselves to the writer.
Our STATE Business Agency and store
has saved the Alliance farmers It's thou
sands of dollars, and the half has not
yet been told as to what it will do; it
was a stone laid upon which may other
things can be built.
The shoe factory is another step in
the right direction; every Alliance
should push this matter with an IN
yielding perseverance; but these are
only the foundation stones to the farm
ers' relief and assistance. Besides
these we need a store in each county in
the State. This would be a medium of
trade between our sub country stores
and our State store. Many of our
country Alliance stores buy much of
their stock from their city merchants,
because they cannot handle a carload
of goods at one time. Now if we had
a country store in each county, then
this store could order from our State
store by the car load and distribute to
the country stores, thus giving our
State store all of our patronage instead
of a small part, and thereby build up
the Alliance interest instead of others.
But that is not all; since Bro. Ivey has
made trade arrangements with north
ern markets, the produce of the coun-
try can be collected in bulks at this
country store and sent directly North
through Bro. Ivey, which it is incon-
venient for each A'lianceman TO do
alone. Then when. the shoe factory
gets into operation, this county store
will bring the shoes, the leather, the
tobacco, and the clothes right to
county seat to be distributed as each
AlIianceman may need. Then again,
truck farming will yield a much greater
dividend, many Of our farmers refuse
togo into truck farming because the
city merchants reap the profits The
whole thing can be made to work like
a clock.
Brethren, let US get a move on us
and help ourselves, do our own bust
ness, make our own shoes and clothes,
and chew our own tobacco. One short,
steady pull, if all pull together, will
bring Us these good times.

leading colleges in the State receive
students from this college without ex
animation, they having full confidence
in a certificate from President Thomp.

The school is a cheap one, quality
considered, and is situated in n OF
the healthiest sections of the State, in
a temperate and moral community,
where the students will be free from

SENTENCED BY JUSTICE JEROME

The Carter Medicine Company has
been engaged for the last month in
running down a gang in this city who
have been making and selling a coun-
terfeit of it's trade mark Carriers Lit
tie Liver Pills" Notices have appear
ed of several arrests which the com
pany has made. For a week past one
of these cases has been on trial in the
Court of Special Sessions. before JUS
tees Jerome, Jacob and Hayes. The
prisoner was Thomas B. Hughes, a
druggist at No. 281 Tenth Avenue. On
Wednesday the prisoner was found
guilty and sentenced to three months
in the penitentiary. In delivering the
sentence of the Court, Presiding Justice
Jerome said:
Hughes, the Court after a long and
careful trial, has come reluctantly to
the conclusion that you are a guilty
man. The whole value of many of
f5hese articles lies in the trademark.
Thousands and hundreds of thousands
or dollars are spent annually In placing
them before the public. If the public
cannot rely upon these articles, then a
fraud is being prRcticed upon them,
and upon the proprietary rights of
those persons who W trademarks.
New York is a great commercial city
and trademarks are as important to
this city as integrity is to a coiner.
This is a classot cases which this Court
does not look upon with any leniency
at all. The sentence of the Court is
that you be confined in the penitentiary
for a term of three months"
The Justice also intimated that but
for the prisoners previous record and
the fact that he had been in jail for
some time, the sentence would have
been much heavier.-N. Y. Tribune.

OUR CIRCULATION.

The report of the United States
Treasury Department for the month of

IN heavy black type that the circula-

nouncement is suggestive, and more 80

make it, says the Farmers Voice. It
Is suggestive that the Department is
aware that the people are attributing
their mlstortunes to a lack of ~circulat-

per capita in circulation it would not
be half what the requirements of com
merce demand, n of the items of cir

gold In this country why is it that the
government must go to the Rothschilds

likely that the government could not
find IN this country that amount of
gold, If the quantity stated were in
circulation? But we are hearing con
stantly of the gold going out of the
country-going out by the millions, and
scores OF millions, and hundreds of

SALISBURY APT TO GO SLOW.
HIS DIsINCLINATION TO ARBITRATE
HAS A STING TO 1T.

A Saving Clause in His Reply to Sec
retary OIney Suggests an OppOr-
tunity for Further Investigation
and DeliberRtion-The Secretary
Not Likely TO Rush the Correspond
ence to the senate in Response to
MIR. LivingstOn's Resolution.
Washington, Dec. S.-Secretary Olney
maintains a diplomatic silence about the
Venezuelan complication and positively
refuses to make any statement on the
subject during the absence of the Presi-
dent.
The report from Caracas to the effect
that England has delivered her ultima
tum to the Venezuelan government, de-
manding $4,000 for the arrest of English
men on English territory, created quite
a sensation in diplomatic circles, but the
edge was taken off the rumor by the
statement of Senior Andrade, the Vene-
zuelan minister, that no confirmation of
the sotry has been received at the lega-
ton.
1t is said that Secretary Olney had a
conference with Senior Andrade to-day
and the latter was impressed with the
Importance of maintaining a discreet si-
lence pending negotiations between the
United States and Great Britain.
While the Secretary of State refuses to
confirm or deny the report that Eng
lands reply to his note of last summer is
far from satisfactory, it is admitted that
the report is substantially. correct.
1t ls expected that Representative Liv-
lngston OF Georgia, will carry out his
threat and introduce in the House to-mor-
row a resolution calling upon the state
department TO furnish congress with a
COTregnOnnpnpa between
United States and Great Britain in con-
nection with the Venezuelan question. 1t
is probable that the resolution may be
adopted, but 1t is not likely that the Sec
retary OF state viii be ready to reply TO
the resolution prior to the return of the
President The object of the resolution is
to get a copy of Secretary Olneys note to
Lord salisbury and the latters reply to
the same.
Under the existing conditions, Secretary
Olney Will very properly reserve the right
TO very carefully review the subject be-
fore submitting the correspondents to con-
gress. As the correspondence is said to
have been quite voluminous it may require
several weeks to prepare IL in accordance
with the terms of the proposed resolution.
1t is understood that although Great
Britain in her reply to Secretary Olney's
note indicates very clearly her indisposi-
tion to submit the Venezuelan question
to arbitration. there is a saving clause
deliberation and investigation, so that the
correspondence may be properly char6c-
teriZed as incomplete That in itself is jus,
tification for the action of Secretary Oh
ney in Withholding the correspondence
from congress for the present.

FALL OF A FINANCIER.
Moore of Manchester Drags Down
Two other Bank Officers.

Concord, N. H., Dec. S.-Another sensa-
tion remains to be added to those con-
nected with the career of DR.. ]. c. Moore
of Manchester. After lying quiet for a
month, the secret has leaked out that D.
Warren Lane, cashier of the Merchants
National Bank of Manchester. has been
found to have a shortage of $4,000 in his
accounts. He has resigned and turned
all his property over to the bank, being
left penniless.
DR.. Moore was president OF the National
Bank of the Commonwealth, the Derry
Field Savings Bank and the Peoples Fire
Insurance Company, all Of which went to
pieces during the panic two years ago.
Charles +. Morrill,, cashier of the bank
and treasurer of the insurance company,
is now a defaulter.
Cashier Lanes shortage was incurred
by holding and carrying drafts of Dr.
bank. These drafts were drawn on the
banks Boston correspondent, the Nation
al Bank of Redemption, and were hon
ored when presented to Cashier Lane. At
the time of the semi-annual examination
of the bank, Nov. 3, of the present year,
there was supposed to be a balance or
$4,000 in the hands of the Boston CORE
spondent. The examination, however
showed only 5000.
Cashier Lane confessed to the shortage
and produced the drafts of DR.. Moore.
He turned over to the bank all his per-
sonal property. This covered the Short
age, with the exception of $1,500, which
was made good by Mr.. Lanes bondsmen.
Mr.. Lane is 67 years old and is one of the
most respected citizens of Manchester.
The sympathy of the whole city is extend
ed to him in his misfortune. He has NOT
been a gamer by one cent
DR.. Moore was also treasurer of the
Union Publishing Company, publishers OF
the Daily Union. 1t is reported that the
company is involved from $4,000 to 10000
by his financiering. The Manchester Ma
tional Bank holds overdrafts of the pup
fishing company to the extent of $4,000
and as much more of paper indorsed by
the company, chiefly, it is said, that OF
the Halifax mills, alleged to be insolvenr,
of which DIR. Moore is the treasurer.
Manchester, n. H., Dec. S-Dr. Moore,
whose name is mentioned in the Concord
IN. h Dispatch, in connection with the
Merchants Bank, has prepared a state
ment in which he says THE stories pub
lished in relation to the Merchants Bank
matter have some foundation in fact but
are largely Misrepresentation and nearly
all misconceived. Besides, whatever there
was to it was arranged weeks ago be-
tween the parties interested, and neither
the bank nor Mr.. Lane are complainants
and neither will lose anything. AS to
the statements regarding the Union Pub
fishing Company, there is hardly a SEM
blance of truth in them, whether referr-
ing to an Indebtedness or anything else.
My affairs are and have been complicated,
but sensational newspaper misrepresenta-
tions can hardly be considered fair or help
full in bringing about an improvement

APACHE OUTRAGEs IN ARIZONA.
Six Settlers Murdered by a Band OF
Renegade nucks.

Deming, N. NJ, Dec. S.-News from the
scene of the murders in Arizona commit
ted by renegade Apaches from the San
Carlos reservation state that troops from
Forts Bayard and Grant are on the trail
and it leads to the line of Old Mexico into
the Sierra Madre mountains, the strong
hold of the renegades for years. By
treaty, soldiers can cross the international
boundary to pursue the Indians, but the
country is so rough and mountainous that
it is very improbable that they will ever
get within hundred miles of the MUIR
derers.
In all six murders are reported, the first
crime being committed on last Monday,
near Hampson's ranch, on Eagle creek
Wnen three brothers named Hinton, and
d man named hearleS were killed and hOr-
rible mutilated. On Tuesday farmer

We're slain in the road six miles west of

and the body fearfuily mutiiated.
The scenes are on the borders of the re
serVation and many miles distant from tel
egraphic communication. A rarity OF min
ers from Duncan. Ariz.. left in advance
of the soldiers heavily armed and we'll
mounted, and at last accounts were fol-
lowing the Indians within two hours.
These crimes are the work of a few muir
derous bucks and does not indicate an
outbreak.
All the remaining cavalry at Fort Boy
ard were ordered out to-day to make a
forced march into Arizona for the purpose
of cooperating with the troops already
out including those from Fort Grant, to
assist in the capture OF the renegades. a
report was also telegraphed to Fort Ba-
yard that the citizens posse, under the
leadership of the Park brothers, which had
taken the trail Immediately after tho dis
coyery of the murders, had engaged in
a fight with the Indians near Clifton,
Ariz., and that one or more of the posse
had been killed. This is not veriied but
was telegraphed to the commanding officer
at Bayard. The department is eXerting
every effort in the movement of troops to
cut off the band from escaping across the
border into Old MeXlco.
