TURMOIL IN THE ALLIANCEThird
Partvites Trying To Secure
ControlThe
State.
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

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.

Washington Letter.
(From our Kegulnr Coorrespondent.)
Washington j Nov. 21. 1802.
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! , ?<?? Vn
Vttv. ?U vuv UV'?W l|OV(?i J V(?1 . v J'lV.diction
was necessary from the Secretary;
the Treasury statements are
open to the public and everybody
who takes the trouble to study thorn
up and compare the probable income
for the next fiscal ytar with the expenditures
that are absolutely bound
to be made, even if Congress were
ever so economically inclined will
soon come to the conclusion that a
deficit is inevitable unless avoided by
new legislation.
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

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.
Ther's a good deal of guarantee
business in the store keeping of today.
It's too excessive. Or too reluctant.
Half the time it means
nothing. Words-only words.
This offer to refund tho money* or

hope that you won't want your money

What is lacking is confidence.
Back of that, what is lacking is that

PICKING MACHINERY-"
More Difficult Than it Would be
*. _ r\ _ aI ni. i.l
to uainer BiacKDeiries.
C/iattanof/d Times. .
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 . ?

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

Dr. B. h). Mansfield of Columbus
C'a., highly recommended by a num
ber of brethren ns not only an excel

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

If we take people as we find them,

than if we labor to make a critical
analysis of mi nils and hearts of
which we can see only a few fragments.

Do you say it makes no difference
what a man believes so his heart is
all right? "With the heart man bolievoth
unto righteousness." But
you say, it makes no difference what
a man believes, so his life is all
right. Out of the heart are "the
issues of life.'' The life can never
he right if the heart is wrong. If
the spring is corrupt, the steam will

Looking back at Christianity's

resolved to walk without (Jod'a word.
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?
