London's new government rets upon a franchise so popular that practically no body who would care to vote U excluded, says the Century. In the first place all householders are enfranchised, and this includes every man who rents a place for his family, even if it be only a small room in the garret or the cellar of a tenement house. It also inelud-s tl.o-e who live within fifteen miles of the metropolis, but own or occupy metropolitan quarters for any purpose worth a certain very limited rental. Owners of freehold property in London, no matter where they live, if British subjects, are entitled to vote. Willows anil unmarried women who are householders, -uccupiei-H 4r owners of property are also authorized to vote for county councilors. The principal baU of the frauchise is the household, and the chief disqualifica tions are receipt of public alms and failure to pay rates that have fallen due. Any resident of the metropolis or vicinity who is entitled to vote is eligible to election. Fdfthermore, any British subject who owns land in Loudon, or who is posesed of a liimted amount of property, n mat ter where he lives, may be choeu a coun cillor of the county of London.

A press dispatch from Birmingham, Ala. , says : A feud which has been brew ing for some time near Crosswell, St. Clair county, broke out Saturday iu earn est. Two prominent families are involv ed, and many lives will probably be lost lefore it is ended. Fonso and Powell Hancock aud George Narghoir had been gunning for each other for some time.

I AMONG THE ALLIANCES What the Organization is Doiui Throughout the Country. A Warehouse on Every Farm Advo cated By A Prominent Georgian at the La Grange Con vention? The Alliance Exchange, Ilenriettaj Texas, is giving satisfaction. J The Fanners' Alliance will build alarg flouring mill, at Graham. Texas. The Alliance store of Glascock county; Ga., is doing a flourishing business. J West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylva nia, Michigan and New Mexico are tho latest Alliance States. j The Alliance is educating the masses, which makes the politicians tremble with fear. Imim). j Hon. R. II. Jackson, the first presi dent of the Georgia State Alliance, will represent Heard county in the next House of Representatives. The Alliance in Brown countv are bulking their cotton at Brownwood, and when they can't get satisfactory bids, ship it to Galveston, says the Southern Mercury. The Alliance cotton yard at Austin, under the management of S. C. Gearn berg, is kept busy, and is the means of bringing much cotten to the city. &HfA ern' Mercury- j Houston county, (Ga.) Alliance is op posed to speculating in farm product "futures,'1 and will appeal to'thc General Assembly to legislate on the evil, and al so repeal the crop lien law. j Improvements have - leen made in the Griffin, Ga., Alliance warehouse lately, and everybody about the establishment! is happy. The office has leen enlarged and also the samp re room, which facilitates the handling of cotton very materially, j The Haw-Creek Alliance, in Forsyth county, Ga., deserves special praise for the aid they extended to a worthy old lady aud her two daughters who were about to be evicted. The Alliance pro cured for them a more comfortable house and gave them provisions. The Farmers' Alliance of Kansas, which now numbers or it 145,000 members, have organized a mercantile department, and propose to handle their own grain and live stock. They have appointed agents who will handle their shipments in tho markets of Kansas City, Chicago and St. Louis, by which transaction the farmer will save the commission which he usu ally pays the middle man. Tera Ixjbof Un ion . The State Farmers' Alliance, of Flori da, in annual session at Monticello, has adopted tbe-following resolution: Jicaolved, That this order is not wedded nor allied to any political party, and has no room ou its platform for partisan politics or partisan politicians. 1 Iorida's representa tives in the National Legislature were also called upon to vote for a bill abolish ing the national banking system and sub stituting for it issue of legal tender treas ury notes. Also to support the sub-treasury bill or something better. Among the excellent things said at the farmers' convention, at LaO range, Ga., we find the following in au nddress deliv ered by Mr. A. M. Walker: My word for it. the most urgent need of the agricultural r lasses of the South b for each and every farmer to establish his own warehouse'. Thin he can and must do. First, by living within his means. Secondly, by diversifying his crops and raising everything on the farm ax far a he, cau, that is Decennary for home con sumption, and make the farm ftlf-sus-tainiug by making one acre produce a much or more than he now. get from five acre?, thereby reducing excuses and in creasing profits. Thirdly, by raising stock of all kinds. Goats, sheep, hogs, mules, horses snd cattle. I place thoo iu the order of their value, a I -onsider it to the farmer. Thin we can do by util izing u-s pasture our lauds that are now tenanted out ut an annual loy and ex pense, to say nothing of the depreciation of these tenanted laud from washing and want of proper management. If this policy wen adopted nd pursued our people would oon reach that degree of. independence where they neither need nor desire aid from the federal govern ment, but could hold their cotton and other produce until prices suited them. I deire to impress the ireat imortance of improving our live stock. It does not Cost any more to raise a blooded horse, or a cow that will' yield from two to five lxind of butter, and rdx to ten gallons of milk per day. than it does to raise a common scrub. I regard the cow as the bet paying investment in the country; el-cially so, with so many advantages In her favor. Belligerent Councilxnen. City Cuuncilmen A. B. Uuigon and A. J. Phillip-, of Richruood, Va., were aj reted Tuesday morning upon a charge of being about to commit a, breach of peace by fighting a duel or otherwise.
