The Alliance Corwr Stone. Several careWs newspapers, notably TUm Otnitha Bne, have published inac curate reports of the proceeding of the fete Fartnrrs' Alliance convention in Omaha, and then proceeded to condemn editorially the Alliance for doing what is-did not do. One of the moet egregious Mnnders of this kind was in firnt reporting and then condemning the passage of a resolution fwmriog an increase of the circulating Siedium to $50 per person, the new naney thiu issued to be loaned to stains Ct-8 per cent, the states to loan to the counties at 2 per cent and the counties toJoan to individuals at 1 per cent. Tbe convention did not pass the reso lution. It did not consider it. No snch nsolotion was presented. The careless editor wtio so freely condemns the fann ers' monetary views on all occasions, and who seized this one, probably re ten to a resolution which was presented bat rejected, by tbe terms ef which it was proposed that the nation loan to the states at 1 per cent, the states to coon tfeS.at 3 per cent, and the counties to individuals at 8 per cent. He therefore MffBTBed tbe conditions of the resolution wiiich he condemns, and he reported it as having passed, whereas it was rejected. As a matter of fact the convention panned a resolution favoring government loans to the people not exceeding $3,000 tovany individual at 2 per cent, interest an real estate double the value of the loans. There is one principle which is in varia W the corner stone of the Alliance plat form and the source of Alliance strength among the people the demand for an increase in the supply of money. On that principle the Alliance will grfin what it gains, and if it meets with success in the fat tire it will be due to the advocacy of that single, strong and growing demand which many outside the Alliance know to be just Omaha World-Herald. The Paramount Oaeatlon. I receive on an average 200 letters a day commending the bill I introduced in the senate by which money can be bor rowed on land from the government at 2 per cent, per annum. It is impossible, of conrso, for me to read them all, but I do the best I can. The interest shown everywhere in the bill proves that the financial question is really paramount to all others now before the country. The fanner, of course, will be benefited by my bill should it become a law. Any one who has tillable land or ever buys it on a credit v.'ill be able to borrow money from the government at such a low rate of interest he can afford to go into debt a little. Some ouo nskod mo what would be done in case a land owner Bhould become insolvent and unable to pay the interest to the government. That is very easy to answer. There would be plenty of men ready to buy land, borrow money at 2 per cent, from the government and go ahead as if the insolvency had never occurred. The sub-treasury bill advo cated by the Farmers' Alliance simply hypothecates products. My bill, if it becomes a law, will not bring about the millennium, but it will give the people money and forever do away with money panics. Senator Leland Stanford. There Ha Been a Change. Farmers of the United States are at last taking nu interest in politics at the right end of a political campaign. Here tofore, when they had voted they com pleted their share of the duty that citi lenship imposes and took no furtlier in terest in matters political until the nest ampaign, with its party ticket to lure ritb. siren song the fanner to the polls. 3nt now the situation is radically ianged, and after political campaigns, tt the time when politicians, capitalists ind qnasi statesmen expect the farmer 'a go back to his acres, his cows and his turnips, forgetful of politics and every string pertaining thereto, behold! he re aains in the field as active, aggressive, :arnest and enthusiastic as ever. What does it mean? It means that 'armera, half the voting strength of the ountry, propose henceforth to have omething to say about how this goveni aent shall be run; they are henceforth wng to tako an interest in the matter .85 davs in a vear. Ami svnrr nwllir jood citizen is glad of it, for it means a ore eqmiauiy uismDUteu prosperity ad. brighter sunshine for the masses, sgardlera of their avocation. Farm, bock and Home. An Income Tax. The Farmers' Allinuco of Illinois has tome out boldly in favor of u graduated icometax. Theid'sa is spreading like ildfire among the farmers of the coun jy. It is notorious that over 75 per int. of tho internal tuxes of the nation V paid by real estate, although other inus of projierty are about equally val able in the aggregate. Our present jws unfairly help tho rich to gut richer; by shouldn't they compel them to Bur jnder to tho public treasury a part of e plunder they have accumulated by irtial legislation, and. thus help to raalizo taxation, now so outrageously ajust to the holders of the sou? The Off objection appears to bo that while honest would pay the tax tho dis weut would, even at tho cost of per iry, evade it. Stringent laws would jnhnizo this evil. Unral New Yorker.

A Mew Vork freight Ship One to riecea on Hie Rock. The ship Elizabeth, of New York, went ashore during the heavy storm tlio first of tills week on the rock at North Head, near 8an Francisco. The crew consisted of the captain, two mates, the cook, and 10 sailors; and the captain, ife, and two children were on board. The story of the wreck Is tot I by one of the survivors as follows: "The vessel was sighted at port early Sunduy after noon, and Captaiu Colcord decided to sail in. The wind was blowing a furious gale from the southwest, and finally the tug Monarch came to the Elizabeth's assistance. The men say assistance wns refused because of exorbitant cliatf;o. The tug Alert then made fast to the Elizabeth, but her hawser soon broke, and the ship drifted before tho wind toward the shore. Just as the second hawser wns made fast she struck tho rocks. Then Cnpt'iin Colcord lowered the boat to tako his wife and children off. As tho boat struck the w ater it cnpsizml, throwing three sailors, James Laken, George Hanna, nnd Giant Johnson, into the water. They citing to the liottom of the boat and were picked up by the tug. The captain's family was then lowered in another boat and taken to the tug by the niato and two seamen, and safely reached shore. Tho boat returned to the ship and its occ pants perished with tho rest of tlio ship's crew. The tugs were unable to get near tho ship, nnd late at night returned to port, leaving the vessel to its fal. The enptaiu and the entire crew of 10 perished. TO CALL OUT 30,000 MINK US. The Cokere Refnue to Arbitrate and Talk Fight. The leaders of the late coko strike have held a long consultation. It was stated Hint tho striko, which is now t 0 weeks oM, will continue until the operat ors yield, ll was learned, too, that the colters will call on tlio minors of com peting districts to strike if they are asked to fill t'onnellsvillu contincts. If this plan is carried out 00,000 men will bo on strike. The Fair Chance Furnace Company offered to resume work at the old rales, and sign any kind of an agreement the strikers wanted. Tho proposition was declined. A German Ftirmern' Alllhtnce.

I'riiicc Bismarck has also promised to support, tho alliance. An immense petition is being circulated for signatured in Ibmover against a reduc tion of tlio tariff on Austrian corn.
