To Every Lover of the People's Cause! Dear Reader :We are working for you and yours. And that Dour work may be made effective to the utmost will you not help us in our efforts to reach and educate the people? We have no means at command to send a canvasser to your neighborhood, and if we had, no stranger could do as successful work as one who knows the people. We must depend on voluntary help to advertise and intro ' duce our paper, and we appeal to you for the cause' sake, to help 'us reach as many as possible in the circle of your acquaintance. It need not be an expense to you. It need not take much of your time. And by telling the truth about the Populist state paper and handing copies to your friends you can easily induce them to sub scribe. Is not this your part, your propaganda work? That we may know our helpers and communicate with them we ask that you sign and return the appended pledge, to do simply what you can f or TnE Alliance-Independent in the way of getting subscribers. ALLIANCE PUBLISHING CO. Knowing that in the great impending conflict with the money power we must have votes to win; and that to gain votes we must get the people to read the truth; and that this cannot be done un ) less those now aroused bring one or more of our papers to the hands and attention of their neighbors; I, therefore, freely and gladly promise to do my share, and will exert myself to secure at least five new subscribers for The Alliance-In ent within the next ten days, sending in subscriptions as I am able to get them at lub rates. u Dated 189.. 1 ' eNjMU,, Town.

There is great need for a thorough discussion of this question. Also as to bow the tariff question is involved In ' the money problem, and that th$ money ' question must bt it t tied first.

LOOKING FOR TWO NEGRO BRUTES. The People All Along the 't'rUco Road From Springfield to Monett Oat to Avenge a Mot Flendlab, Auault oo 13-Vear-Old Girl Hard war Store Fornlah Arm Pre of Charge. - SpBfsoriXLD, Mo., Jan. 28. Hun dreds of well armed men from this city and all the towns along the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad as far west as Monett have since yesterday after noon been searching for two negroes, who are certain to be lynched the mo ment they are captured. Yesterday morning Mrs. Jacques, wife of a Oerman farmer living three miles west of Verona, and her 12-year-old daughter went to Verona to attend church. After the morning services the child was sent home on foot, the mother deciding to stay in town for a funeral. Half a mile from town, two negroes seized the child, tied her to a tree, fastened her feet and placed a gag in her mouth. Then the brutes horribly assaulted her. One wore a stiff Derby hat and the other a black slouch, a light coat and old breeches with a square patch on one knee. The crime is supposed to have been committed about 1 o'clock, but the poor child was not found until three hour later, when she suceeeded in biting the gag in two and attracting Abe Zinin by her cries. She could not walk and is in a critical condition. One of the brutes was seen coming this way by several persons, but there was no trace of him beyond that place. Every man about Venora is out hunting for the fiends, the hardware store of that place having given all their cartridges to those who wanted to hunt the negroes. Lynched on the Seen of III Crlni. Knoxvillb, Tenn., Jan. 23. At Jellico, on the Kentucky-Tennessee line yesterday, George Gamble, a negro about 85 years of age, brutally assaulted the 11-year old child of A. li. Francis, and fled toward Pleasant View, Kv., followed by a mob which captured him at that point. He was taken back to Jelico, where he was fully identified by his little victim, dragged to the scene of his crime and strung up just at nightfalL THE COUCHLIN DEFENSE ON. A Doctor Cat Doubt on the Came of Cronln' Death Reporter Impeached. Chicago, Jan. 23. Attorneys for the state in the Coughlin trial to-day asked for a reopening of their side of the case, in order that they could prove that tne horse which Reporter Beck showed to Frank Scan lan was the same horse be showed to Mrs. Conklin, and which she identified as the one that drove Cronin to his death on May 4. No objection was made and Alder man Epstein was called and testified to having rented Dinan's white horse and buggy to put on exhibition in his museum. Mrs. Conklin then testified that her husband had seen the white horse when Reporter Beck brought it to their house before the funeral. The defense then introduced as their first witness. Dr. J. F. Todd, ex county physician, but before he fin ished his testimony Joseph U. Dunlop, ex-editor of the Chicago Times, was called. He aakl Reporter lteck was in his employ In 19HD. and Judire Wlntr wanted to know If he waa the same man who fooled a jury and waaaent1 to the Insane aavluin and afterward created a aeunatioa by circulating hia report.

Governor Mltohell Preparing a ftnrprlae for the Prtaa righiera. Jacksowuxk, Fla., Jan. 23. State's Attorney nartridge returned from Tallahassee yesterday afternoon from a consultation with Governor Mitchell. He said that the governor had given the instructions for Sheriff Board to Attornoy General Lamar, who, with Adjutant General Houston, will arrive here to-morrow. Mr. nartridge sal J that should the crowd board a train none of the rail road employes would be arrested, but he would say nothing as to whether the principals would be or not It ia the opinion that Governor Mitchell in tends an important move Thursday morning, and some believe that he will order the arrest of Cerbett and Mitchell on the charge of arranging a fight, which Attorney General Lamar htrtds to come within the law providing the arranging of a duel. Should they be arrested Thursday morning it would necessitate a postponement of the battle for one day at least and the men would undoubtedly be put under heavy bonds to keep the peace until the court should decide the legality of the matter. This would effectually fmt an end to the contest, for even if t should be decided that the fighters were within the limit of the law, the men would then be out of condition and tbe crowd gone. A report came up from the Mitchell training quarters last night that the English champion, during his exercise early In the evening, had sprained and wrenched hia leg. The club sent ft commissioner to Anastasia island to notify Mitchell a special car would be in readiness for him on Wednesday morning. According to the commission er when he returned Mitchell was in a very unpleasant state of mind when he learned what was required of him. It is said that he declared he would not fight under the auspices of such a club, and that he had put up with too many other bluffs already. The commissioner was then told of the injury which tbe Englishman bad sustained. How serous ft may be he has not learned. The Duval club ha issued an edict in response to the assertions which Mitchell is said to have made, in which the Englishman is served with a for mal warning that the club would claim his forfeit of 85,000 if he did not appear at the point indicated in the original summons Wednesday fore noon. In addition to this, it Is au thoritatively stated that the referee will award tbe $5,000 side bet to Cor bet t in that event. There is consid erable other money which Mitchell would lose if he failed to subject him self to the orders of the Duval club. An attachment 'was served to-day on Corbett's professional property at May port for $1,000, alleged damages to property occupied by the party. The cottages used for training and sleeping quarters are the property of Judge Gibbons of tbe municipal court, and Claus Meyer of this city. They claim Cnrbett occupied them without tic sawnent. WAITING FOR A NEW JUSTICE Many Important Case Delayed Became of tbe npreme Coort Vacancy. Washington, Jan. 83. While the personal feature of the vacancy in the supreme court interests the politi cians most, it does not approach in importance the material Interest affected by delay. Questions of con stitutional law upon the decision of which hang great property interests, are being held in abeyance until a full bench can pass upon them, and natur ally the litiganta are impatient under the enforced waiting, which haa been protracted beyond their expectation by the long debate of the senate com mittee over the Hornblower nomina tion and its final rejection, which necessitates the selection of a new candidate. There are now twenty-two casea on the docket of the supreme eourt, some of which have been aidetracked aince the beginning of the October term, awaiting the advent to the bench of the aucceasor to Justice Ulatchford. The Hot Includes the most important caaes of the term In which hearing have been deferred at the suggestion of the court or the request of attor neys for the judgment of a full bench.
