"lie ficti so Far received are as fol lows: Madamlc Sigida did not coml mit suic-de, as thc earliest reports stated. She died from the effects of a cruol flogging to which she was sub jected. Tho flogging took place Wed nesday, the 6ti of November. It was continucd until under the brutal blows the unhappy victim lost consciousness and lay as one dead. The poor wo man never revived from the terrible shock, but continued to grow weaker and weaker until Friday, when death came to her relief. The news of her shocking olicial murder produced wvide-spread dismay and anguish among her follow prisoners and three of them, unable longer to bear their wretched fat , committed suicide by taking lOison. low they obtained the poi:un is not known, but probably they had it a long time in their pos. sessioii and were keeping it as a last resor. The nanfes of the women were Alarie K alu;h, Maria dadlovina Karalcf-kega and Nadesenta Smir netka. SAD FATE IOF A (IRL.

Katus kye a gen d'arme oflicer, brought. to her a skillfully f.rged statement, pur porting to be a confession from lier fellow conspirators, and promised ha.-. munity if she also confes.ed. Marie fell into Li e tra1, and confessed, and her conifession was used against her filenads, wiho were sentenced to penal servitudle. When she learned they had made no confession, but had beent convicted on her testimony alone, she procured a revel ver and on Aug. 21, called upon Col. Katuskya and fired at, him, woundinig him slightly. For this attempted assassination she was condemnecd b)y court martial at.

Baron Kofi governor.gne of the province of Arnour, in whicn the Kara mines are situated. These orders directed that the secret edict of' March; 1888, signed by '3alkino Vraski, director-1general of the prison for the empire, should b) enforced. This edict was to the eff'ect that polit ical convicts should be treated by pris on officials in precisely the same man nor as criminals condemned for com mon law ofrences. Political prisoners were thus made liable to flogging for breachesof prison (iscil)line. In what particular way Madame Sigida had transgremed the prison rules is not clearly explained, But the flogging of a sensitivo and culturk-d woman to death for any lack of conformity to prison regulations Stepniak thought would impress the Western world with a profound horror. The political prisoners at Kara, Step niak said, had in some way learned that the political exiles imprisoned at Saghalien had also been subjected to cruel flogging. They wore constantly in dread of' similar torture to that inl flicted upon Madame Sigida. FLO;GING ottDERE> BY TilE CZAR. Stcpniak wias asked whether lie thought the czar, in view of the fact that the exceptional horrors at Kara had been made public, vould mitigate the severity of prisot discipline in the case of political convicts. He replied that he thought it was not, unlikely that the publication of the facts would force the .c.tpcrior ollicials of Russia to take some notice of afll,irs, but he said flogging and a'4 other brutalitis were entirely due to the direct orders of the central government at St. Pc tersburg, namely, the edict of March, 1888. The governmentN was, therefore, directly responsib!e for tle renewal of the corporal puniLs1hmcit of political prisoneren, which had been suspended in 1877 after Trvpoll ordered Bogolu boll, to be flogged.

HOW THE ORGANIZED FARMERS ARE PROGRESSING. The Prompect of lite Ordvr in w4eugh Ce v ofinit-Cheoring WvordIm Fromt Preswdout The Alliance people in South Caro lina have now eutered upon the second year of educational and co-operative eflbrL on the several lines of Alliance woi-k. 1888 was devoted to the work of organization; in 1889 the work of organization was continued, and is now- -8th Feb., 1890--planted in every county in the State. Tle planting, under the direction of your Executive Committee, has becu done at the min imun of cost, and this work will likely be very nearly completed before your second annual meeting in July next. Our desperate condif ion, fiu.ncially, rendered our organ:/.-tion po,siblo, and to the betterraent of 'haL condi tion our gruate-t efilorts have beeu put forth. Last year the eilorts at co-op riv~e t.rao was by Sub. and County Al,,*a1ce; securing for ihemselves the beut terwpossible. The results ob taiiled, vliiie morc or lesssatisfactory, were vei y unequal, the saving eflect ed being estimated at from 8 to 33 per cent. on last year's purchases, do pendent largely or mainly on the financial condition of the dilerent sectioiis of the totate, the larger saving being only possible on the credit sys teml of purchasing; and attention is cs pecialy invited to this as showing how ruinous has been that system, and as ruinous morally as financally. Let us not blame others solely because such a condition of things was ever possi ble, but lc t us like true men assume our full share of the resnonsibilty. Reckliss risks denanded ruinous prolits, but we now see our folly in consenting or submitting to such con ditions so long. And now that we have organized to correct this and oth er abuses, we must be careful, very careful,about the character of our mem bers. We have taken in and must c.,tinue to take in members who are '"financially bankrupt," if they have "good moral character." T's is right. We honor our organizations by the effort te hift them up--to improve thcir linancial conditioi-n-but we can not allord to carry them if they should even seem to be careless about their financial obligations. Should they fail to practice that strict economy, or to exhibit that industry and constant application to businessso necessary to Success, we must expel them. To re tain them would be wrong to all who are hatiling for the manhood and in dependence of the farming and indus trial classes. The financial depression caused by,a partial failure of the crops last year is a trying or(leal to our young organ zation in sonie sections of Mhe State, which is a matter of deep eencern to those more Fortunate elsewere, but their activity and forw%,ardness in pre - paring for another crop prove their indomitable pluck. LI some places last year the crops were less that half the average. In such plac i depres - sion like E.-yptian darkness Aust be felt. Just how .uch conditions are t.o be met and overcome is a problem difli cult ofsolution,but it will best be done by our people standing together a uni ted brotherhood. The ellorts at in creiasd industry and a closer economy lesen the (danger fr'om such ci'op fail uires-, buit for the I)ractice of such econ omny andl industry last. year., the deC presCsSion growing out of the cr'op fail ure would hiave. been more extended and trying than it, now is. In prlofofo this, it may safely be claimed that the South Carolina farmentrs, taking' the average of t he whole Sial e, commelInee tile year' 1893) in bette ci iaaiicial condi tion than they dhidit ia year 1889 notwithstanding the short cr0o), the shior'tness ofiwhich more t h"n od'iet the higher prices at which it wats sold. A laiger p)ercenitage of' the supplies bought for' Alliance formeirs in 1890 will lbe bought for' cash1 than has been so bought any previous year by thce same f.r'mers. I shouldl not dleemi it necce-shary to r'eindt t.hese cash b)uy ers t t hey now have a State Busi ness Exchange which they can use in thle purchase of' snpp)lles andi sale of fatrim pr'oducts, but for the fact that they haive been doing this very same busi ness thr'ough agents of their local or ganizat ions so successfully hefrme the Exchange was established. Y'ouir bus iniess agent can be, mle:t be, the larg est cash purchaser in the State, and should beC, and wit.'i your piatronlage will b)?, ab)le to ptiichiase more chieap I ly t hana any other. It is your agency - and will be what you make it. Buit I have possibly said as much as I should nowv on the financial outlook. The etiucational work of the Alliance is pr'olably more advaniccd along the ,i uan icial Iino than any other. The inmthlods of learning along this line are e inenil'itly practical. I intended to - extend this letter' to convey some thio.ights oni political economy, and1( ourI organs, State andi National, but I Iintd it will make this article too long, -so I must defier any attempt in that, di' f rcCt ion att i bis time. s My recent visit to the dhifferenit sec hb tions of the St ate suggested the pr1o -piity of what I have written as wvell .as whait I prloposeC wr'iting in the near e ft'utre, ats r may have opportunity.
