All this is beginning to be \ and by tho members of the west and northwest, and they themselves who ther they can afford to bo the tail to the dem- ocratic kite. Kvidence of loss of confi- dence in the siucerity of the alliance appears in the sentiments ex- pressed regarding it by the leading organ of tho Iowa alliance and by the action of the officers of the iKan: ance with reference to the cinnati convention. The former in- sists that there is absolut nothing in common between the northern and southern alliances. The latter demands that before the representatives of tho farmers of the west and northwest go into convention to form a third party, they shall know what to expect of the southern alliance. This distrust is well- founded, for the cardinal object of the alliance south, in its advoca 'y of the sub-treasury scheme, is to establish a monopoly in cotton, while its member- ship being almost wholly of men who have always afliliated with the democratic party, it can- not he depended upon to give united sup- port in a national election to an alliance candidate, The opposition of its organs to the third party movement is sufficient assurance of the democratic sentiment and sympathy which pervade the south- ern alliance, The farmers of the west and north- west who have afiiliated with the repub- lican purty should most seriously con- sider whether they can afford to give their influence and support to a move- ment 80 unmistakably in the interest of tho democratic party as .the one which expected to have its fruition in a third party at Cincinnati noxt month. There Is no possibility of the election of an allinnce candid in 1802, but such a candidate might defeat the republican party. There is overy probability that the south will be solid for the democratic candidate, but the democracy might lose several southern es and still sceure the presidency through the house of representatives, The situation promised by the third party movement ought to receive the very caretul consideration of every alli- ance member in the west and novthwest of republican antecedents, pro- lie committee understood Hiance are asking south is THE FUTURE IS ALL RIGHT. ho eastern moncy lenders were largely frightened outof the field by tho ill-timed threats of so-called reformers in Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Kansas about the first of this year, The legislatures of all these states have mot and adjourned excopt Minnesota. The farmer statesmen failed in every instance to damage the seeurities of loans already made or to remove the safeguards of mortgagoes. No usury laws were pussed and no radical changos were made in the methods or collection and foreclosure, The formers in all these statos were vestrained by the tive good sense of the business men in other walks of lifo from perpetrating upon them: selves o sort of financial hari lkar, When they stepped from the stump to the halls of legislation they found time to give the topics b had diseussed in the heatof the canvass more thought and attention, Tho vesult is not only creditable to them, but of im- mense importance to the states and their constituents The farmers, as well as others west, are liquidating a great deal of speculative indebtedness in these dull times, and the outlook has been any- thing but cheering during many months of adversity, It is not surprising that the farmer, who has suffered most from the general failure of erops, should have turned eagerly to legislation for help and have been ready to seizo upon any scheme, however wild, promising even temporary reliof. The return of the cropping season with the prospect of abundance, the leniency of his creditors and the reaction from the political excitement of last fall have Il combined to restore the farm fidence in the future. He no longer talks of repudiating his debts.

It appears that the reply of Secretary Blaine last communication from Premior Rudini was ready at the time hen it was reported tho Italian govern- ment would expect it. This ¢ @ive confirmation to the statement that Ttaly had served on our govern ment that an answer to its demands must > made within a spocified time or ox- customors wn gislation is will former It will erop with fair place investors, In no statoe of the union can to the orves to 1o treme measures would be adopted, and it is not improbable that it will de- velop later that such was the fact, and that the papers and correspondents at Rome were better informed than they were given credit for being. At any rate Mr. Blaine'’s veply has been given with Ater promy diplomatic corvespondence, and on this at least the Italian government ind no reasonable for com- plaint, That it will be any botter satisfied with this second enunciation of the atti- tude of the government of the United States than it with the first hardly to bo presumed, since the last communication of the soerctary of stat ntially a restatement of the position taken 1n* the first, with greater elaboration, Th was noth- ing else to do but to vepeat, because the established poli of the government had been clearly set forth, and all that Mr. Blaine could do in addition was to explain to Rudini the reasons for that policy, of which presumably he has not a very clear id It is understood that the socretary of state again informs the Italian premier that the law must take its course, that it cannot be hurried, and that the feder; 1 govern- ment cannot interfere with Louisiana in the exercise of the state’s exclusive pre- rogative in the matter, so far as the ex- ecution of the law is concerned. If the authorities of Louisiana will punish the slayers of the Ttalians at New Orleans, well and good; if not, they will have to g0 unpunished. The federal govern- ment can do no more in the matter than it could if ‘all the men killed had been natives of the country, and the treaty with Ttaly does not require anythin g more of it. That convention stipulates that Italian subjects in the United States shall enjoy the same protection that 1s extended to American citizens, and the protection is simply what is accorded by the state laws as administered. If those laws fail there is no remady open to American citizens and equally rone to the subjects of foreign powers. Con- gress may hereafter give authority to the sderal government to in- terfere in £ where aliens, guaranteed rights by treaty, are denied them by failure in the administration of stato laws, but until that is done the princivle stated by Secretary. Bl must be adhered to, whatever the Italian government may think or do about it. Regarding indemnity, the sec of state says it will probably bo granted the families of the Italians killed at New Orleans who are proven to have been subjects of Italy, but this proof must be undoubted. The question of indemnity must be decided by congress, and the proof of citizenship will, it is pre- sumed, have to be supplied by the Ttal- ian government. It is believed that not more than two of the 11 killed were Italian subjects, and it i d of these that both were fugitives from Jjustice, one having heen a professional robbor in his native land and the other a mur- dere It remains to be seen whether the Italian government will be disposed to claim theso men as subjects, or if it should do what it will regard as a just indemnity to the fami- lies of such men, It would seem that there is not much chance for an ex tended controversy over this issue, The attitude of the government of the United States in the matter cannot be changed, and if it is not satisfactory to Ttaly she must choose her course. It cannot he predicted with certainty what that may be, but it may be made known within o hort time, — AMONG well informed persons it is generally conceded that the administra- tion of Indian affairs under Commis- sioner Morgan has been exceptionally succossful, honest and progressive. He has come nearer divorcing the Indian vice from polities, notwithstanding the unfavorable conditions undar which he has at times labored, than any of his predecessors, The order just issued by President Harrison placing the superin- tendents, teachers and other vloyes in the Indian schools the physicians and matrons tho ngency service, in a classif under the civil service u very long and impor toward divorcing politics absolutely from the management of the Indian business of the government. If the vresident will follow up this order by another which shall include the agent and all the agency employes, and the in- spectors and special agents of the de- partment, the Indian problem will be groutly simplified. The present com- missioner has been urging the executive and the secretary to take the necessary action to relieve the sorvice of the pr sure feom politiclans during th term of his office and Tug with pleasure the success thus far aetended his efforts, on ness than is usual in as is is subst S0 em- and in tion ulation is step it entire notes IN South America the rebols genor- ally win.

The disposition that the council made of tho ordinance providing for the grading of Douglas from Sixteenth to Twentieth was froely discussed yesterday by property owners in the heart of the city, They all expressed considerable sury ovor tho action taken by Councilman sasser in reporting in favor of the orai being placed on file. It wss the opinion that it would be passed and the street graded, as soon at least as funds are available, L.ast night when the report of the commit- toe was called for, Mr. Ilsasser, the chair- man said: “I recommend that this ordinance be placed on file, as there is 1o money on hand to pay for doing the work.” Chaffee objected, saying: *“Itis is a vital matter and of importance to overy person in the city,” Elsasser said: “1 would have the report and ordinance placed on file and we can tako it up when the funds are availanle, “Wo can today get any number of contrace tors who will do the grading and take their warrant, payablo when the money is col- lected,” said Chatfe Elsasser snid he Opinic street, ile ey had talked with the county commissioners and they were not suce that they would let the city have any money to do this work. “This is too impoctant a matter 1o be plgeon-holed,” said Mr, Tuttn, *and 0 Jinance will not b acod on file”” President Lowry said that | the county commissioners can against having any mov the vicinity of Douglas stre Mr. Cooper expressed bis doing so remarked: “Tot it go on file is the place for it.
