THE STOCK LAW.

AMEs, Union Co., n. c., June 4, 'oS.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-Please allow me some
space in your columns to say few
words in regard to the communication
assigned E. A. O., of Robson county,
dated May 23d, referring to an issue OF
Nav 18th, in which he says he has no
doubt the author is good farmer and
all the reason he has to think Il. A.
O. is not a good one too, is, he sees
from his writing that he is not a
friend to the stock law, he does not
see the advantage in hauling those
leaves in order to save and make more
manure from whence all Of our income
is derived. We live down here IN old
Union county and we have some as
good farmers as there is IN the state
and we see they advocate the STOCK
law, they also haul those leaves to
their hog pens and get the best ma
nure from the pen and those leaves
that they make anywhere during the
year, then we do not have to make
corn to feed them on to enable them
to travel all day to hunt few acorns
1t takes about as much corn to feeo
them to hunt the acorns as it does tc
fatten them. So away with the notion
of having fences; it costs more to keel
them up than to raise the hogs ano
fatten them besides. hope our Moss
Neck correspondent will take all thing
in consideration before he condemn

Col. L. L. PoLK.-Dear Sw:-I
send you by mail an editorial which
appeared in this weeks issue of the
Atlanta Constitution, which I hope you
will append to my letter, that we may
urge upon our brethren in North
Carolina the necessity of like move
ment. The coming fall will be a
" trial fall !" with the ALLIANCE in this
State, and unless Nose in position
shall take hold of the matter we may
be injured far more than we expect.
Let him whom al North Carolina
would like to honol as President of
our State Alliance, eall meeting of
the county business lgents and agree
upon such rules ana regulations as
will insure the success of produce
exchange in this State Let Rip Van
Winkle farmers wake up from a
lethargy of twenty years and organize
this exchange, the crowning stone of
our success. y.
We have the number, the money,
and all the necessary requisites; why
not move in all that twill advance the
Alliance interest sProgress is our
watchword, an inheritance we cannot
well discard.
Your own endorsement and aid OF
these views. Mr.. Editor, would aid
greatly in bringing this end about.
Yours fraternally,
W. II. S. MCLAURIN. :

A Sour Plum for Hoyey.

So the Hoosier Republicans have set
tied upon Gen. Hovey for the Republi.
can nominee for governor. They wanted
the Porter bread, but finally compromised
on the Hovey stone. Hovey is complet-
ing his first term in Congress. lie was
a Democrat in the days Of Pierce and
Buchanan, but seems not to have been
well grounded in Democratic doctrines,
for he went over to the enemy after the
war.
Gen. Hovey's nomination Is not a strong
one. He made himself ridiculous in the
House the other day by declaring that
Cleveland was an enemy Of pensions.
The record was promptly adduced to
show that Mr.. Cleveland in three years
and a.half had signed ! ,204 pension bills,
against ,52i signed by all his Republican
predecessors. This disposed OF Hovey
very effectually, and he has not been
heard OF since until his present nomina
tion for governor.
The indifference that is displayed by
the party leaders towards Indiana, al
this time, is pretty fair indie alton o
the hopelessness Of the Republican cause
In that state. In the hurrah for Blaine
his grandfather's grandson has been over
looked. Evidently the shrewd manipu
lators of the Republican campaign dono
expect much from the Republican candi
date. They are pinning their faith 4
Blaine, who has been tried by the peopl
and found wanting.

The Indians ana Their Land.

The Indians have closed the conference
at the Standing Rock agency by simply
rising up and walking off and the open.
ing Of the Sioux reservation must be in.
definitely postponed.
The serious features of the present
situation may very soon appear, for the
large number of whites who have been
eagerly waiting the result Of the confer
ence in the hope that valuable lands
might be thrown open for settlement will,
doubtless, make their disappointment felt.
The Sioux reservation is an immense
piece of country, about as large as the
state Of Indiana, and from the northwest
corner of Dakota westward to Idaho is a
broad belt of Indian land Of still greater
area reserved for the Crows, Backfeet
and other tribes. There has been good
deal Of negotiating with these Indians in
recent years, and they clearly understand
that they cannot hold back the tide
OF civilization from their country. The
failure Of the present negotiations is due
to a determination topreseIve their tribal
unity, which is threatened by the pans
for granting lands in severalty. They
could easily be brought to an agreement
with regard to the cession of lands which
they know they cannot hope to retain
much longer, II they did not see back of
this measure for the complete oblitera.
tion of their national existence, and
avowedly framed for the purpose of de-
stroying their most deeply yenerated in
stitutions. 1t is no doubt true that the
communal system under which the In-
dams hold land is in the way o. their
progress and civilization, but al cient
systems, hallowed by traditions and re.
vered from infancy, cannot be lightly
swept away from any people, no matter
how barbarous and weak; and fierce
wars may yet be fought before the savage
is forced to swallow his foolish pride in
this wretched league of few score of
families, with its unwritten history of
warpath and wandering stretching back
through the darkest ages.

The Row I'm Paris,

After their time honored custom, the
communists of Paris made demonstra.
tion of the funeral of Eudes, the com.
munist who died suddenly while address.
ing an assembly of strikers. Fifteen
thousand persons marched with the fu.
neral cortege in answer to a proclamation
which closed with the following lines ::
Let all the poverty-stricken proleta-
rians, all the pariahs of society, all those
who wish the true Republic of the people,
JOIN US IN supreme effort to end their
misery"
Tae authorities showed unexpected
hrmness and discretion, and beyond few
wholesome wounds and bruises there WAS
no violence. 1t would have been a yely
serious demonstration in any other city,
but for excitable Paris it was very tame
affair. 1t appears to be getting more
certain every day that the Republic will
survive the Vaccinations of her enemies
at home and abroad. President Carnot
Is working for the establishment of that
pride and confidence in the form of goy-
eminent which must be at the base
OF al national greatness, and he fesms 10

OF patience and persistence so yitalIy

IN the rule of the impetuous and impa,

matte incident, and no harm has come of
u, but the labor troubles and strikes In
inherent parts of the country, may pro-
long the feeling OF unrest and help TO
sweh tae mobs OF Paris. France has her
industrial troubles like the rest of ths
world, put appears TO be a, well able to
peet them as any monarchy.

Protected Huns.

Edward II. Ammidown, president OF
the American Protective Tariff League,
has been trying hard to make his preach
Ing and practice appear to work together.
He has issued circular, as president OF
the league, full of grand talk about the
protection of American labor and yet he
attempts to defend the employment Of
Hungarians in q wooden mill, of which he
is president. No one would blame him
much for the employment OF cheap
foreign labor in his business II he finds 1t
as efficient as the American article, for
the soulless laws Of trade make close
attention to the cost and value Of labor
essential to success. The sad feature OF
the case of this high tariff giant is that
the state of things in his own business
reveals the shallow insincerity OF his
rhetoric about the tariff and American
labor. He says that his Hungarians are
faithful, sober, thrifty, intelligent and
self-respecting, and are rapidly be.
coming American citizens and voters,
and all Of this would be very
pleasant news IL it were not backed
by the thought that these foreigners are
pro6ting by the high tariff protection
which Mr.. Ammidowp, in his circular,
finds so necessary for the elevation OF
the standard of American wages"
The president Of the Tariff League is
president of wooden mill, and with one
breath he inveighs against reasonable
reduction Of the tariff as perilous to
American labor, while in the next he Is
heard TO admit that In his own protected
business foreigners are largely employ cd.
When Americans paying high tax
for the support of an industry, find that
they are protecting imported labor, they
will recognize the fitness Of change in
this state Of things, and approve reform
of the tariff. When by such reform we
have secured foreign outlet for our
merchandise, more foreign labor will re-
main at home to produce the wealth that
must pay for what we sell, and America
will be left to the Americans.
