Mkmpiiis, Nov. 17.?Despite the A efforts <tnade by his friends, the Till? man letters continue to be a source of L. SI ?a. 1.1 A II! _ . . uinnou at uie /\i nance convention. The body went into secret session at 10 o'clock this morning, and ouo of Ixmcke's supporters expressed a determination to introduce a resolution bringing the whole matter before the Alliance, and then demanding Tillman's expulsion from the order for using his official position to aid the Democratic party. The friends of Tillman declare in this event they will introduce a counter resolution, demanding the expulsion of all the officers of the Alliance who made campaign speeches for Third party and the Republican party. Tanbeneck, one of the Third party leaders, while he does not appear on the Uoor of the'eonvention, is charged by theMcCuno faction <vith tryingto throw the Alliance into his party, and also trying to secure the expulsion of Tillman. Taubeneck romains in his room in the hotel, and r .1 ! ii i i % ? ruiUHWB aumuuince 10 UU CXCCpt| l.ouckcs niul a few of his friends. All of the Southern delegates ex eept the members from Georgia are; supporting McCuno for president. John McDowell, one of the most inlluential members of the Alliance, it is claimed by MoCune's friends, has experienced a change of heart, and will throw his strength to McCune. The Northern and Western Peoples party enthusitftts claim that if MoCone is elected his association with Tillman as a member of the executive board will cause the disintegration of the order. II. C. Tanbeheck made a depurate rally of the People's party forces this afternoon. Heretofore the chairman of tho executive committee confined himself to his room in his hotel, and did his work through messengers. lfe had smooth sailing, and for a while it seemed that the Alliance whs going to eiecc lxnicaes ami an entire coterie of officers belonging lo the most radical wing of the Third party; but Farmer Hock of Alabama one of tho Alliance delegates who fought Kolb and other Third party candidates in that .State, came to McOu tie's rescue, and took up the light in his behalf and organized the opposition to Taubeneck. This afternoon when tho Alliance adjourned, McOune's stock was going up so fast that Taubeneck abandoned his room and sailed into the hotel rotunda, and began to buttonhole his wavering followers. lleck was there, too, and he made capital out of the fact that Taubeneck, who is a member of the order, was attempting to shape its policy. Taubeneck; however, continued his efforts in behalf of Louckes. Gen.Terrell of Texas, who is also working for Macune, lent a helping hand. Mr. Heck thus discussed the fight: "The success of Taubeneck means the crippling of the Alliance. We^8ire to keep it out politics, bnt if aubeneck succeeds; the order willbe the tail of tho Third party kite. I de not intend that a party of place-hunters shall use the order for their own ends, if I can help it. At 8 o'clock the members started to tho hall to decide, by ballot, the vuestion as to who should rule the order. Important among the demands of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Uuion to-day is one for a railroad from Hritisb America to the Gulf, through Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Indian Territory and Texas to some point oh the gulf, probably Galveston.

The saying "all things come to those who wait" is not generally accepted as being strictly true, but if "many" be substituted for "all", and the wait be long enough it will be 3accepieu i>y every oouy as true, une of the most persistent of the denuinds made by) the National FarAlliance sinoe its organization, and repeated at its convention at Memphis, last week, has been for a graduated income tax, and to the shrewdest observers it now begins N f to look altogether probable that an \ 1 income tax will be imposed by the <u> ' fifty-third Congress, and althobgh Mr. Cleveland has in the past expressed himself as being opposed to suoh a law the circumstances which will compel that Congress to adopt some quiok and certain method of raising money to meet the big defU cit that is anticipated between the revenues and expenditures of the Government for the fiscal year befining July 1, 1893, will, it is believed, cause him to either sign the bill or to allow it to become a law without his signature. jjp This same expected deficit will, unless some precautionary legislation be adopted at the coming session of Congress, and that, owing to political difference between the House and Senate, is not con fiden 1 tly expected by any one whom your correspondent has talked with, mako the colling of an extra session of [ the fifty -third Congress necessary. Indeed, it is already regarded here as certain that an extra session will i have to be held, and the difference I of opinion among promiueut democrats is merley whether it will be better to call it in the spring or to wait until fall. It is probable that the condition of the Treasury when the new Administration takes charge will determine the time for the extra seEsion to meet, or whether it shall meet at all Secretary Foster of the Treasury says there will be 110 deficit for the current fiscal year, and that he has made no predictions as to nna in t lin nnvf llunn! , ?<??

President Harrison certainly possesses the happy knack of making good appointments to responsible positions. Among tho vacancies which it was generally thought after the election returns were in that it would be impossible to get a man big enough to till for the short time remaining of the present administration was that of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, but President Harrison solved tho problem as soon as ho came to it in the regular course of business by appointing Congressmanelect Gear of Iowa, whose experience on the ways and means committee of the House had made him familiar with Treasury matters. Mr.'Gear was defeated for Congress in the democratic tidal wave of 1890, but was re-elected to the fifty-third Congress, so that it will not inconvenience him to put in his time until his Congres sionul term begins as assistant Secretary of the Treasury. There is a rumor here that Presidentelect Cleveland and Vice President elect Stevenson are not of one mind about who shall represent Illinois in the next Cabinet, and that Mr. Stevenson claims the right to make his selection. Whether this he true or not cannot at this time be said, but from prominent democrats .. ? ? 1 1 ...1 ul iiiuiuio, i|iiuc (i nuiiiuor ui >v iium have been in-Washington during the last few days, it has been learned that there are two rival factions, one of tnem headed by Mr. Stevenson, fighting for this cabinet position as well Jus for the control of tho federal patronage of the state, and the prediction ha8alreudy been made that unless they can agree upon soino man who is personally satisfactory to Mr. Cleveland Illinois will have no member of tho CabinetMr. Blaine lias been sick again, lie had a severe cold which for a time threatened to develop a serious throat trouble, bnthe is now nearly all right again. It is probable that he may spend the winter in Southern California or in Mexico, as be finds this climate with its frequent and sudden changes in winter more and more trying to him evory year. Mrs. lease's senatorial camlidnov is not very seriously regarded here, although there are lota of people who believe that she will succeed in naming the next Senator from Kansas and even a few who express tho belief that she will herself be elected, and a great many entirely without interest in the contest have expressed the wish that she might bo elected, t'ust to see whether any effort would ie made by tho Senate to prevent her occupying a seat in that body, because of that little "he'' in the constitution.

To perfect a machine which will pick cotton from the stalk in the I field, says a Baltimore paper, lias < been the desire of muny inventors, and numerous appliances have been constructed on as many different principles, but thus far none has 1 proved sufficiently satisfactory to be put into practical use. Unfortunately all the cotton on a stalk does not ripen at one time. There may be twenty bolls in various stages of ripening and only two or three full ripe, and these may bo at'.the top, bottom, orjiny four sides of the plant. A machine therefore, to pick this cotton without injuring either the J plant or remaining bolls must be able to reach to any part of the plant pluck the cotton from the boll and carry it to a receiving chamber or bag in which it is stored. Those who have never seen a" cotton plant will appreciate the difficulty by knowing that there would be fclio j same trouble, and more, to overcome than there T would bo to invent a j machine to pick blackberries ripe ones only. Some ot tin: machines which have1 been tried have a series of brushes which are pressed against the cotton boll by the operator, these . brushes : drawing out the cotton and deliver-! ing it to a bolt, which in turn car-' ries it to a receptacle in the tua chine. Another form has a hose I through which a strong current of air is drawn, This also is place against the cotton, and draws it from the boll up into a bag. Still another form has a number of arms with steel fingers which catch the cotton and deliver it into the machine. All have had the same objection, however, either injuriuy the plant or recjuireing more time and skill to operate thai; is necessary for hand picking. A good field hand can pick from 150 to 200 pounds of seed cotton per day when the stand is good ? that is, where a large number of bolle! are open?and even an ordinary )iuiwl no r? nrnf 1 AA Ia 1 OT, ??,1 . ? ii?iivc %>? ? in L\fu tv i jiuumio. i While it. is impossible to foretell to what perfection mechanical skill can bring a machine, it does not seem likely that the many conditions necessary to successful mechanical cotton picking can soon bo realized, though the inventor who could do it would become as famous as Whitney, the originator of the cotton gin. ON K IIUNimKD MISSIONARIES. When the Southern Baptist Convention tirat began seriously to consider the subject of observing the Centennial of Missions, the idea most prominently before the minds of the brethren was a largo increase of the number of workers in our foreign fields. This was brought out very clearly in the report of the Centennial Committee, made in 1890. That report says: ''That, as a suitable and wise memorial, the Baptists of theSouth, among other objects of religious effort, should, during the Centennial year, strive to put one hundred missionaries in the foreign field ?one missionary for each year of this missionary era?and to increase correspondingly any (every) department of missionary work/' And surely in no other way can we more appropriately celebrate this Centennial of the organization of tl>e first really Foreign M:ssion Society of modern times than by the sending out of onepreachor of the gospel for each year of the century. First and foremost in all the Centennial effort ought this idea te have stood: "One hundred missionaries in the foreign field?one missionary for each year of this missionary era." i We havo noticedj however, with something of regret, that this idea has come to have a secondary place in the thought of many of the people as is evidenced by the place given to it in nearly all the addresses made on the Centennial. Foremost in tho thought of most of us stands the money to bo raise 1, while an incidental place only is given to the subject of the men and women whom we ought to be praying for and talking for and seeking out. Possibly our faith has not been strong enough to grasp firmly the f 1 r\/l 'a /?i ?*% m ?- n ma. jiuoniuintjf ui u"?i o KI>IIJK un BU many men and women in one or oven two years, and so we have let the idea of equipping and sending forth so many gradually take a back place in our thought. And veraily God has tried onr faith on this line this year. * While wo had at first been thinking a bruit a large increase of force, by what has seemed to us a strange providence, or series of providences, our force during this year has been rather decreasing than increasing. Some of our workers have died, some have come home, others have left our connection, and amid all these , discouragements we have not until { recently been encouraged by seeing ., others coming forward to take the Word, Your Work and 1 rII uUS 1)AY i places of those who have gone out of 3ervice. And so, many of us have concluded that the increase of foroo was probably not to be expected, and have considered the advisability of turning our gifts to other objects, seemingly more likely to be accomplished. Hut (iod has not boon unmindful i>f the prayers that have ascended to him for workers, nor has he failed to regard the purpose that was in the minds and hearts of his people to obey his Son's last and great commission to "go" and "preach." Quietly (Jod's Spirit has been and is working, and the hearts of men and women are being moved by his voice to say, "llcre am I, send mc." As a first fruits of the Centennial season, (loil gave us Hro. <!insburg, a workei ready prepared for work in Brazil who lias recently been reinforced b) a most excellent help meet from Hug land, a lady trained in the C? rattan ltuinness College in London. Titer came Hro. H. N. Walue and wife now probably arrived in Japan, aiu Miss Auna B. 11 art well, now on hei way to Canton, China. Next conies Brother K. Pendleton .Tones, now nn der appointment and to sail, no1 alone, for his field, in the spring Dr. B. h). Mansfield of Columbus C'a., highly recommended by a num ber of brethren ns not only an excel lent physician but an active christiai worker as well, was at t he last meet ing of the Hoard, accepted as a mis sionary physician for China. A num her of applications are coming to tlx Board from seemingly first clasi young men and women, applying foi work in Mexico, Brazil, .Japan am Africa. The indications now ari growing better and better for the in crease, and large increase, of oui mission force* during the next fev months. What is to he done with thc-.o ap pi i cants? What answer is to be returned t< I liem when they ask to bo sent? Shal they bo accepted, equip pod and sen forth promptly? The answer to al these questions will depend in largi measure on the way in which tin churches and individual brethren o: the churches feel and act with regan to that great purpose so aiit.lv express ed by the Centennial Committee ii 1890?"One hundred missionaries h tlie foreign field?one missionary fo each year of this missionary era." Tho Southern Haptist (Convention at its last session instructed tin Hoards "to press tho enlargement o the regular contributions" to thoi work. And in accordance with th'os< instructions, we earnestly appeal t< our brethren everywhere to providi the Hoard with the means of meet ingthccill which (!od is making 011 them how to appoint and sent forth laborers into his harvest. Wi have prayed tho Lord of the hal ves for moro laborers. lie is giving them in answer to our prayers. Hu how shall they go into the licit exept they be sent by us? In all the Centennial giving, ai ?r? uuiieiuui iiuw union wu cuii gi\t and to what object our gifts slial go, let none of us forget the "oni hunred missionaries to the foroigi field." Let gifts for this specifw purpose come in freely, that tlx Hoard may know how to act. Ant lot them he sent clearly dosignatei for this purpose. II. A. Tuim'kh, Cor Sec. Richmond, Va.

W e see tlio effects of this proud resolve even to-day in cclesiastical machinery that enslaves the mind and debases the spirit of those whom the Redeemer came to lift up and set free. In the light of the past, or rather in view of the darkness of the past, the rivetting of chains, the digging of dungeons with oclesiastieal spades, the construction of racks of torture, the organization of,inquisitorial persecution, the kindling of tires at the stake, the profuse shedding of innocent blood, will any one say it makes no difference what people believe? Does it make no difference what a man eats, whether wholesome ?or poisonous food? Is it no difference what a man drinks, whether the cool delicious water that gushes from beneath the rock, or the fiery liquid damnation of tho grog shop that maddens tlie brain and inflames his whole nature! Belief finds its way into practice with the inevitab! en ess of law. It shapes conduct, moulds character, measures morals, fixes destiny. Perhaps you would not damn a man for mere intellectual error. You believe John Calvin was no better man than William Kllory Channing, the greatest of American Unitarian ministers. You l>eliove 11 nit Calvin did not love Christ any more, nor cling to him with in tenser, more childlike loye and devotion, nor strive more earnestly to imitate him. Both these great men believed that Christ came into the world, died to redeem men, rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of Cod the Father. Perhaps you admire the character of Channing more than that of Calvin. Calvin's is stained with the blood of Snryetus. Calvin believed in the Deity of Christ, Channing believed only in bis divinity, that isj something below essential Deity. Channing's belief would send some men to perdition (what it did for Channing in the world to come we know not)' so would Calvin's. What have we to do experimenting with any man's faith?
