ing the action of the convention, and^

greater diversification of crops for home j
consumption, hereby endorse the action
of the Cotton Growers' and Merchant*'
Convention, held in the city of Memphis,
Tenn., on the 8th day of January, 1893.^
do earnestly appeal to all agricultural and^

recommcnd the immediate " organization ,
of States., c unties,"" and districts or -town

President Marion Cannon, of the Cali

intelligence of the continuous march of
the Alliance in that great State. The o: ?
der there is at work politically as well
socially. The California people arc dis
gusted ?t the paid reports which_?re bein*j
smos: industriously circulated to The effert
that Senator Stanford is posing in favor
as an Alliance candidate for the presi
dent al nomination, and say they "might
as well run Jay Gould as Stanford
President Cannon has put in operation a
lecture system, by which be hopes to
fprend information and political trut;i
all th ough his State. He gives his lec
turers suggestions and points as to what
should hi talked about, and summarizes
as follows:
4 Show them how the Union Pacific
railroad gang invested $218,000 and
pocketed $147,298,770. Show that the
Central Pacific railroad gang invested
$62,000 and pocketed aboot $136, 0U0,
QOO! Tell them these millionaires now
owe the people $130,000,000 and refuse
to pay a dollar. Show them that we ^
have built, and paid twice the cost,
eve v one of the railroads to the Pacific
coasr, and we are paying for them in
freights and fares every five years; that
these monster monopolies have the whole
Pacific cojtst by the throat and are chok
ing aP our-indus'ries to death by their
slimy grip;vihat while they wall in the
State on the east and charge all the traf
tic will bear, their friends build a tariff
w all across the Golden Gate that fines
vessels $10,000,000 a year to auter and
discharge their cargoes. Demand that
Jay Gould, Russell Sage. Sidney Diilon
& Co., of the Union Pacific gang, and
Stanford. Huntington and Crocker <fc Co ,
the Cmtral Pacific gang, pay their debt
to the government as well hs their taxes
to this rtate, or surrender their railroads
and retire from business for tie good of
the State."
Arkansas has arranged for <;evea great
Alliance camp and mass meetings to be
held in August, and ;s asking for speak
ers from everywhere. The ijtate presi
dent writes that the people are thirsting
for education as never before, and that
speakers and lecturers must be sent among
t^r.i,-. "You may expect , Arkansas to
come to the front, ' is a significant remark
in the ."tate presidents "letter.

Africans Not-to be Molested. '
Washfnotoi7, D. C. ? The ; Senate
Monday, in executive session, finally
ratified the general Act signed at' Brii3
sels July 2, l?i90, by seventeen Powers,
including the United States, for the re
pression of the African slave trade, and
alsa a convention of commerce and n$vi
gation between the United States und
the independent 8tate of Congo, *sigced
at Brussels July 24. 1891.
The slave trea'y was sent to the /Sen
ate by the President nearly a year ago, !
and but a few weeks remained of tne ,
time allowed for the exchange of final
ratification, ^ix^teen of the Powers rep
resent d at thu Brussels conference had
signed the con vention many mofithl ego, .
and the failnre of the Senate to act upon
the convention until this late .day wes
caused by reluctance on the part of a
-number of Senators to recognize the
tice of the partition of Africa among;, the
nations of the world. > This sentiment
was urged very strongly by Senator Chan
dler when the treaty was under con2k^
eration list year, and again at Ihe bcgin->
ning of this session he introduced a pro
posed amendment to th^ pendiag ratifi
cation Act, disclaiming on the part of the
United States any approval of the wis
dom, exptdiency or lawfulness of protec
torates in Africa, The e was DO substan
tial objection to the treaty Dn other
grounds, and so it was ratified, the views:
of Senators who sided with Senator
Chandler being recognized in the adop
tion as part of i;he ratifying, Acl of the
language of Chandler's amendment.

spring Andrew Johnston of Springport
cnmc into posesMon of $20,000. He
thought he cou'.d make a sue: ess of farm
ing on a large Krai*. He did not know
much about farming, but he purchased a
well- kn o-.\ n farm of 165 seres in Totrp
kins couuty, to try his luck on. He paid
$16,500 for the property. The farmhouse
on the premise:; is one of the finest in the
State. It is of itone, and cost its origi
nal owner $30, )00. When Johnst n had
purchased this firm he married a promi
nent Tompkins county young woman and
settled down as a farmer. The experi
ment was a failure. His crops of iasc
season sold for less than $700. He re
cently sol<Vlii? farm for $13,0'0. Hi*
fine livestock jftfcl expensive farm nn
chingjarhe disposed of for a song. Last
w?ek he %jred up that his brief experi
ence in farming would cost him $1<T.000
more than it had brought him in. Then
he went out in his barn and hanged him
self. His youag wife disc over en him
and cut him down, but be was dead.

the failure. John H. C'holson was seen
in the back office of the Lank.
The assets will not go over $250,000,

But before he could reach his room, an
other dispatch wae handed him. It read:
"Cardinal Siuieoni died this morning of
influenza.*'
This announcement, following so
'speedily upon the cablegram conveyicg
the intelligence of the pa*suig away of

prostrated Cardinal Gibbons, and ha
immed'ately retired to his room. Cardi
