' ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT
What Was Accomplished at the
Birmingham Meeting.
is Address Issued Brother
hood of the National Alliance
and Industrial Union.
Birmingham. Ala. ? At the meeting
of Southern Alliance presidents ancl ex^
ccutive committeemen, a committee of
nine was appointed, headed by McDow
ell of Tennessee, and C . W. Macune, to
frame sn address to the Alliancemen of
the United States. While the committee
was at ?ork the conference was. occupicd
by speech-making and general discus
sions. In the afternoon the committee
reported a long address, which pleads
for harmony and ignores politics. It
was taken up and read by sections,
amended and aebated.
When the matter of throwing the Alli
ance with the third party came up. a vote
was taken, and the move was defeated by
a rote of 21 to 16. After a loog strug
gle, a compromise was effected by issu
ing the following address, which was
adopted, after which the meeting ad
journed: > <*?===a?^J
Tq the Brotherhood of the National Alii- '
ance and Industrial Union :
We, the presidentaTand e^cutive offi
Cers of the States of Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Missouri, Texas, Louisiaaa, Mis
sissippi, Alabama, Georgia, West Virgin
ia and Florida, together with members of
our national executive committee, nation
al legislative committee, national judi
ciary committee and President L. L.
Polk, having been callecf- together in
council to consider the reported peculiar
conditiocs fn the order in the Southern
States, which it was believed seriously '
threatened that harmony, brotherly love
and unity of action so necessary to the
success of our cause and the success of
the order in these Sfctev .after counsel
ling together and Rearing detailed re
ports, rejoice to say, to you that we feel
greatly encouraged gad inspired by the
splendid spirit of unity and determined
adherence to principle which pervades
the order in nearly every one of tliese
States, notwithstanding the combined ef
forts of our enemies to sow seed of dis -
cord in our ranks pending the heated po
litical contest*, local and national.
We therefore feel it our duty, as ser
vants of the people we represent, stand
ing upon the outposts ami watch-tower
.of tins the greatest political rrevoluti on
OTerxB???u to the nation/ to say to you
thilt we have entered a crucial period in
the history of our great reform move
ment, in which '.he greatest caution,
earnest deliberation ana strict adherence
to our principles arc necessary |o preserve
intact that organization which stands to
day as the sheet-anchor and hppe of
millions of wealth producers in the ercat
battle for the "God- given rights of-hu
manityr^* *
You are congratulated upon the great
harmony and unity of sentiment in re
gard to Alliance principles which pre
vails within your borders, and upon the
fact that a carefel canvass of the subject
at this meeting has .shown that practi
cally tne ..members of the order in these
Si atcs stand squarely upon the demands,
with the avowed detfti^nation of held
ing devotion to them ab<Ne that to any
method of action, and thaV today the 4
number of those who se endorsetthe pi iu
ciples of the Alliance is mucl\greater
than ever before.
A sentiment also prevails, strong ud
uniform, that this great order, as an*
ganization, is the greatest of all modril
forces for the spread of reform educa
tion, and tha?: its work must be perpetu
ated and encouraged in this high sphere,
entirely free from any partisan entangle
ments.
/ The only dangers which seeifh in an v
[.way to threaten a lack of the faliest de
* velopment and prosperity of the order
are those which attend the disposition of
a few m<n and papers to publicly criti
cise and^ofifteB&a others for the'r metii
ods. This is not of sufficient extent to
damage the orderN^ut it mars that per
legt^unity that should prevail, aud al
wajs injures all concerned, and it is con
trary to the spirit ojf brotherty-4eve and
forbearance that sHouid prevail.
Another evil,' which fortunately pre
vails only in a very few localities, is the
disposition of members to seek political
office at the hr.n<wof their bcetbi . n, for
getting that principle of AlHnnqe doc
trine which declares that the office should
seek the man and not the man the office.
In consideration of these views as to
the situation, the following rules of ac
tion are suggested, as well calculated to
enable the order to go through the com
iag ordeal of a tierce political contest
and|come out strengthened and purified :
1. ^et a spirit of harmony^evail and
let unitwg>& action be the rule, ^et none
condemn a brother who stands fcquarely
bytke principles- of |hc order or speak in j
any Mray disparingty or disrespectfully :
of him because ttiey nay differ as to the
best methods of jsafon ing our principles. I
Grant to every pother honesty of nur- 1
pose. ']!
2. Let fealty to the priociples of the
order be the true and only test of mem
bership, and let thoa<; who value their
partisan affiliations nicie than their Alli
ance obligations be in formed that their
order demands strict and full deration
to its principles, and leaves each to his
own choice as to methods, bet that the
method can in no case control the princi
ple, and therefere all who affiliate should
accept as supreme the principles of the
order.
8. Every member who. takes the obli
gation aiway? administered to those who
join is first told, as a condition precedent
upon which all that is to fo'lovc is predi
cate that it shall in no way interfere^
with your political or religifc* liberty.
Therefore, this order, as such. or any of
ifi branches, has no o take a Bi
partisan. political or sectarian religious
action. We urge upon the brotherhood
of all ref-TOi organizations, an<t all good
citizens who believe, as we do. that the
enactment of laws based upon our d* -
mands is for the preservation of tbe free
institutions of our Government and to
rescue the ma scs from degrade 1 servi
* tude. that they use ail honorable means
to secure the election of men to onr na
tional legislative councils who stand
pledged to work for the passage of. such
- laws. , *
Finally, brethren, remember that de
f Vbtion to our principles can only * e em
phasized and our influence made effec
' live by voting for our demands at tbe
ballot box. We send greetings to the
brotherhood in the North and tne Great
Northwest ami a?uiv hem that our
hearts lx**t ic unison 4?itu them in th^r
for ii><iu<trial * freedom^ and we
will -t?:i?l hy t''rm '? all lau we efforts
to redeem this country . from the clvtclgs
of organized capital, and that we will

returned to resume bis Ministerial duties at

The welcome to Baron Fava by his Ital
ian-American friend.- was on an extensive
scale. The steamer Laura M. Starin was
chartered, and about 500 Italians went
down the bay to meet him. It was the
intention of tbe reception committee to
take tbe Baron off the ocean steamer to tbe
Laura M. Starin, but there was a heavy sea
and the Ciptain of the pleasure boat refused
to go alongside the big ship. Consequently
the Minister remained on La Gasoogne
until *the reached her pier. It was

A Worrier of Sotenee.
On: of the most delicate surgical
operations ever perfor axed in San Fran
cisco was that to which A. B&ehtn, a
patient at the City and Count y Hospital,
was subjected recently. The operation
was remarkable in that an endoscope, or
9mall electric light, was used during the
process. This was thrust into the thorjc
ic cavity, and by its illumination the ac
tion of the heirt and lungs WW plainly
visible.
Baeh n was afflcted with a a abscess,
which had formed in the pleural cavity
and attacked the left lung. The opera
lion was an exceedingly dangerous one,
and in order not to shock the patient no
mention of the intention of the physicians
was made to him.
The sick man wai quickly ao?ithet
ized and the in Sated breast was ciposed
to view. A discoloration on the left
side showed that the trouble lay under
the tissue in that direction, aud Dr. El
lin wood began operations at once by
making two deep incisions crosswise, from
which the blood spurted in streams.
Several of the larger blood vessels were
necessarily cut, but these were quickly
ligatured with Dr. Stillman's assistance.
The flaps of flesh were laid to one Side,
exposing the third rib to view. This rib
was resected for thrift inches, and wh?3
it was cut away a dark and bloody open
ing was revealed', through which the
thoracic cavity aoU the *paoe between
the lungs could be seen. Pr. Hirshfelder
inserted the endoscope through the op?n?
in>? in Bteirn s breast and the light ?
turned on, illuminating the int

effect of ether. The aorta
fell with every heart beat. Tha lung
was also plainly visible. During ti e one
hour and a half consumed in making the
operation the action of the heart was dis
tinctly visible, and the unusual tight
the subject of much comment upoa the
part of the operators; and spectator?.
When the process ;was completed and
every vestige of {ras removed, the endo
scope was withdrawn, and the opening
in Baefem's breast closed. The operation
was a highly successful one in every par
ticular, and Baehtns condition shows
that hois gaining strength. ?Electricity.
