OUR ALLIANCE The Citizen or the Dollar" cussed in Alabama. Dis- The Alliance Renounces Those Min nesota Wheat Circulars It is 1 Said That Speculators , Issued Them. Chicago, III. Ignatius Donnelly, the president of the3Iinnesota Alliance, says: "It should- be distinctly understood that the Farmers' Alliance, of Minnesota, has hael nothing" whatever to do with the various circulars that have been issued Irom St. PauL advising the "farmers to hold their wheat for higher prices. These circulars. I understand, have the approval of what is known as the Reform Dress Association, at "Washington, al though that association is not paying the bills. The Minnesota Alliance has taken no action in the matter, and will take,, none, as the members of the Executive Committee of the Alliance of this State agree with me in believing that such ad vice cannot be safely given." ARE THE 'MILLS DOING IT? St. Paul, Minn. It is said that the last million copies of the ''Hold Your Wheat" circulars are being circulated at the expense of the Minneapolis mills. The document is being sent out from the office of The State, which has not money enough to circulate 100,000. Colonels. H.Graves, of Duluth. one of the largest elevator owners in the "West, diel not hesitate to say last evening that the ciicular was in spired by a cliep;ie of speculators. The managers of the elevators all charge the mills with paying the bills for sending out the circulars. Some of them even go so far as to charge Charles A. rills bury, manager of the English syndicate mills, with the authorship of the last cir cular. ' THE CITIZEN OK THE-DOLLAR. The Alliance Herald, of Montgomery, Ala., says: The ineiications and evi dence points from every direction to a presidential contest iu 1892 that will be between the citizen and the elollar. The magnates of Wall street have already or ganized their forces anel" supplied the munitions of war in the shape of green backs to be used from now until the election in directing and crystalizing public sentiment on lines that will enable the plutocrats to wio the election. There will be such a political contest waged as has never before been conducted in this country. There will be more free papers for distribution, more political tracts and more speakers ready to go anywhere, and pay their expenses, than has ever before figured in any contest. Bureaus will be established in each State, and speakers" will be in suaicient numbers and in read iness to meet any demand. The average voter will be perplexed anel annoyed by the attentions that will be shown him, and the influential men of beats will be flattered and, cajoled by attentions and have their importance magnified until some of them may become too proud to sleep at home. Every wife and device of the trickster and every effort of the sharper will be biought into requisition to manage and control the result. With such a campaign, the honest and sturdy yeomanry, with honest views and earnest purposes, will be tested thoroughly and all carried through the crucible. Some will fall by the wayside, victims to the glareand glitter of the new and enticing offers made them; but. the great body of the agriculturists will be found true, ready to do all in their power anel make every reasonable sacrifice to uphold and defend the liberty of the citizen anel the rights of the freeman, by voting for home anel Katie and the babies. Those who are weak in the faith should brace up those in doubt of their duty should be gin to learn before the elollar commences to impart his instruction; those who doubt should seek the light through prayer, and finding it, be fixed on it as immovable a? the lock of Gibraltar. The dawn of a brighter day is op'ening upon the country, if the people shall be true to themselves anel true to tlleir obliga tions to home and family; but if the cor ruption and venality that has been bred and fostercel in the large cities, shall sween over the country, like a simoon of the efesert, withering anel blighting hon est impulse anel paralyzing honest effort in behalf of the rights of man anel the liberty of the citizen, the &un of liberty that has shown so graudly and resplend ently in the republic of Washington will turn its course toward the western hori zon to sink forever behind the western hills of plutocracy, to cloud out and fhroud in darkness the last lingering ray of popular freedom -and the liberty of the citizen. A TLAN FOR KELIEF. Mr. EDireR: At your request I here with send you a plan for helping worthy members who have the misfortune to lose any property like a horse, barn or dwelling. Let each Sub-Allidncc who desires it, send fifty cents or one dollar to the County Secretary and he to the State Secretary-Treasurer with each quar terly report as other dues. There should be a blank iu each report forVhe loss fund so that it woulel be known who sent and those who did not. -Let all male members who are not more than six months in arrears, and all -females who are widows or single be entitled to the benefits of said loss fund, as follows: Actual cost or value of any horses or mules, dwelling -houses, barns, smoke houses, &c. The loss not to exceed the tax value of such property which can al ways be ascertained by leferring to the tax books in the oftice of -the register of dee'ds in the county, where such proper ty is listed for taxes. The amount should be limited to one hundred dollars for each mule or horse, and six hundred dollars for- any other property. No Alliance should be en titled to any of the benefits to be derived from such loss fund which does not con tribute to the same. If any tub-Alliance fails to send its pro rat-i for quarters in succession, it should be debarred from the benefits Let all loss claims he certified by the Secretary of the Sub-Alliatie e, approved by the President, -with the seal of the Alliance, and forwarded to the Secretary- Treasurer of the State, who will carefully examine the claim and if found correct pay the same. True Grit! . 1 The Hart County Record (Horse Cav, Ky.) -says ; The next legislature is cotrj pc(?d between 60 and 70 members who are farmer J, and who -were elected main ly by the influence of s the Farmers' Alli ance ; there are not exceeding ten lawjef (i, who heretofore have controlled the leu;) latiQa,of the State, upon-waose shoale ers all un just legislation rests. Now tH fariner: have a chance to show their hanels, and should they succeeel in doing for a whole State what is most needed, it is a feather in their caps, but if blinH . prejudice and base ignorance are tlie prevailing features, it will be well for itre fraihers of the new constitution Xo hafe made the legislation of the State a nulity never to meet again. Afew meji should not control the -vjole body, leyt as a unit they should more forward fr the common good. - Let the farmers sho'tv lawyers they have not only brains btit honesty and capacity to use them. jj . I - There was never before such a dem!atd for Alliance speakers. Letters and tele grams are pouring in from all directions and the demand can not be half supplied. Thi3 fact alone is sufficient to show that the Alliance is growing and the peojipe demanding more light upon economic questions. All this is the legitimate fruit of education. It proves that Alfi ance methods have been successful, ad if continued, will certaiely bring a com plete victory. I j " A brother asks whether or not femage members can bp counted to make a quo rum. Ans. : Ladies are allowed eve,y privilege of male members and can vo'e on any question before the body. Thfy can be counted every time. y In Iowa the Alliance is doing well. There seems to be a growing desire amoivg the farmers of that State and a healty growth is expected.

AFRICA FOR THE NEGRO. Bishop Turner Advisee Colored Peo ple to Xeave the tTnited States. From the Baltimore Sun; j Bishop H. M. Turner, of Atlanta. Gs.V.j delivered a lecture at Ebenezer African ! Methodist Episcopal Church, Montgom ery street, near Hanover street, last nigh. The Bishop said: "I am on my way to Africa," where I expect to spend the next four months. I will sail from New York to Liverpool, thence I will go to Sierra Leone, Africa, where I will visit the missiooariehi of our church and ordain a class of graduates. I will also orgauize a missionary conference. I will be thu first colored Bishop to virit that country from theUnited States. After my workhss been finished at Fi-rra Leone, I will go to Monravia, Liberia, where I also expect to organize a mi-sionary conference. I expect to visit Cape Palmas and Lagos. "I am an enthusiast on African emi gration, for I see no future in this coun try for a negro as long as social lins ate so tightly drawn and thy negro is ruleei out of the body politic. I do not be lieve that black anel white will ever unite, and without social, political and civil unity one must be under ami the other on top, and the negro, not being able to measure aims with this ginnt white race, must naturally be the under dog in the fight, and anv condition that savors of civil and social proscription entails degradation. Therefore I believe that the negro shoulel commence the building up of a nation of his owd, where he can have black Governors, black Judges, and black scientific and philosophic authorities. Then, and then only, will the negro respect himself and his color. "I further believe that Providence sanctioned slavery for a time in order to bring the negro in contact with the white race, that he might absorb tbe white man's Christianity and civilization, and return to Africa and civilize his brethren there. I do think it is the duty of the United States Government to fcelp us. It should start a line of steamers between here and Africa, and thereby help the negro to come in contact with the land of his ancestors. The so-calleel negro problem of this country will ueverbe solved until the nation does this. - 1 am not in favor, however, of all the colored people going back' to Africa, nor one-half,- nor one-third of them go'ng there at the present time, but I do believe that 100,000 of us should go and start a civil ized nation and demonstrate our capaci ty for self-government. Until this is done the whites will not respect us, nor will we respect ourselves. The negro had just as - well attempt to raise a crop out in a giant forest, with the roots of the trees absorbing all the sap of the ground and the limbs catching the sun light of heaven, as to attempt to raise himself to the station of respectability and prestige here under this mighty white race, with its railroads, telegraphs, banks, ships and other appliances." In answer to this question a3 to what political party lie belonged, the Bishop replied: "Neither the Republican nor Democratic party is pleasing to me, and I am a Prohibitionist."' , Bishop Turner was born free at Newberne, S. C, May, 1833. He grew up at Columbia and Abbeville, learned to read and write by his own exertions, was employed when 14 years old as a messenger in a law of fice at Abbeville, S. C, where his desire for learning was noticed and he was greatly assisted by the lawyers with whom he came in contact. . At the age of 16 be joined the Methodist Episcopal Church South and was licensed to preach when 20 years old. In 1858 he joined the African Methodist Episcopal-Church, and was transferred to the Baltimore Conference by Bishop Payne, who sent him to Baltimore, where he . lived four years. Leaving here he wes stationed at Washington, D. C, where he assisted in raising colored troops. " He was made- chaplain of the 1st United fctates colored infantry by President Lincoln, anel was afterward appointed chaplain in the reg ular army by President Johnson. He has served twice as a member cf the Leg islature from Bibb county, Ga;, and was elected and ordained Bishop at St. Louij, May, 1880. Foreign Notes of Real Interest.'

Peculiar Adventure of Two Connect! j cut Boy b on the Sound. Satbrook, Conn. Two Connecticut Valley boys,A Eugene- A. Post, of Deep River, and Charles Bailey, of Cromwell, were trolling for bluefish off Stannard Beach,-in the Sound, . a mile from the shore, a few days ago, when a big shark suddenly rolled up alongside their boat, turned himself over, opcried h-s enor- mous jaws, and appeared to be about ready to swallow the cra.ft.. The lads' actcci promptly. Seizing a': boat'hnok, one of them drove it downthe monster's . hroat and fastened it in. the sbaik's gul let . The hook was .attach.eel, to the boat with a long stout rope, an.d.a'wa"y darted the fish, dragging the .little craft and its crew at high speed. ' ' As the shark speel on it lashed the wa ter into foam that was tinged .with blood from its wounded throat. For half an hour the shatk drove-on furiously, aod the boys en joyed the ride, but at the end cf that time the fish became weak, floun dered aimlessly, and finally rolled over on its back, its strength all spent. -Then the boys lashed theic-- prize to the boat-; with cords and went to land. With the aiel of two men they pulled, the shark up the brSudi aud measured it. Th' fish was ten feet Jong and weighed 700 pounds. The shark wore three rows of teeth,. and the biggest one3 were two inch's long, curvwd,--and as sharp as needles. ' Southerners in New York. N. Y.

The oM time Southern planter was any- " thing but a hustler, or a boomer, or a .flyer, or a pusher, when he came to New York. H6 owned slaves, who raised cotton, er sugar, or rice on his planta tiejn, who Ketveel in his bousehed, wait ed upon him, and were humble and obe dient. He moved about easily, took life slowly, and sometimes had an air that in. England woulel be caljed lordly. - He was satisfied with things, some things, was not over ;cager in the-pursuit of money, and was net in the habit of offer ing landed property or anything else f ot sale. But the Southerner who is often to be seen here nowadays is apt to be a man of abounding enterprise. You may find that he is trying to raiss capital for fcorne business project, or that he has a plaa for starting a town, or for improving the county seat, or that he has come here to look at new machinery, including imple ment", er that he i-s working in behalf of the splendid State exhibition, or that he has some real estate,' if not town lots, for sale, or That he is concerned in the building of a ccw railroad, or that he has invented something, or that he is think ing of the erection of public works of .some kiod in his locality, which is favor ed with peculiar advantages There are many Wcj and energetic Souther nors to be found in New.
