| washed out the road leading to the coal
camp. From Four Mile to the west end
of HelTs Canyon the road is said TO be
almost impossible. The vast amount of
tratic between this place and the coal
camp should be sufficient warrant for
its repair, and the CuRoNICLE strongly
urges the necessity of this important
matter receiving the earliest possible
attention.

The Pioneer notes the return to Dead,
wood of James Carney, %Sergeant-at-
Arms OF the South Dakota constitutional
convention, on Monday, and says: Jim
thinks the convention will adjourn
about August 10th. He will nor go back
before this, and will not return at all,
unless labors of the body should extend
to September LIST. One reason for the
fact is, that his per diem ended Satur-
day, and like whole families we know,
Jim didn't care about working for
nothing.

A NEGRO ALLIANCE.

There are some indications cropping out
here and there, OF a purpose by the negroes
to assert their independence OF the control
and dictation OF the Republican party and
to take President Harrison at his word
and leave the work OF sustaining and MAIN
tanning that party to the white men who
are members of it. One OF these indca-
tons, and by far the most encouraging,
comes from South Carolina, where col
ored Farmers Alliance was recently organ
lied by John ID. Norris, negro OF some
education and prominence, who in an in
teryiew last week with a newspaper cor
respondent declared that this Alliance
Is by no means political organization. The con.
dltlon Of things and our present situation satisfy
that our happiness and fortune arc not in poll.
tics. We have been 80 often deceived by political
tricksters until our hope In politics is lost We
have been looked upon as political prey long
enough. We expect through the Alliance, TO let
all parties know that our race Is no ongera mission
field for politcs weexpcct TO conhne ourselves to
and make our frcsides more pleasant IL Is not
working against the interest OF the white man. he.
cause anything that Is against the interest OF tho
white farmer would be against our interest and we
have white farmers In this county a well as black
farmers The deylllsh trusts and combination,
mean destruction 10 the farmers East. West North
and South. We are not against the common fail
merchant We are only ringing the bell for the
trusts aud combinations to come TO breakfast We
will ring for dinner later
This last sentence is supposed to have
reference to tlfe political trust that has 50
long held the negro in bondage. But this
aside, the fact of the organization o.
the Alliance, is a most encouraging one,
and it is to be hoped 1t will be conducted
solely with view to tho purposes thai
called II into existence. It's by industry
thrift, frugality and education that the
negro is to rise. II is only by these
agencies that he can ever hope to make
himself acknowledged as factor in an!
sense in the political life Of the South.

THE RULES on THE HOUSE.

which are often exercised in an arbitrary
way and so as TO restrict, hamper and hinder
legislation. ~ object" has many time
impeded and defeated important measures,
and "the previous question" has been
frequently resorted TO as gag law from
which there was no appeal. There have
been occasions no doubt when these rules
have operated with benefit to the country,
but in the hands Of mere obectors, who
use the power TO object TO punish fellow
member or put needless opposition in the
way Of an opposing party, II becomes an
odious tyranny. And 80 when ''the
previous question" is called TO cut

from asserting itself, II, too, becomes a ty-
ranny that there ought TO be some way OF
suppressing. As The Petersburg inder puts
il, zone man, or three men, should not
have the power TO defeat legislation de-
manded by the other 324 or 322 legislat-
ors" But this is just what results from
the rules rs they stand. Ex-Congressman
