The Next United States Senate.

The Next United States Senate.
Glohe-Democrat.
The terms Of thirteen Republicans
and twelve Democrats expire with the
Fifty-first Congress on March A., 1891,
and successors to all of them will be
chosen some time within the next
twelve or fourteen months. Several
of them will be elected by legislatures
which meet in the coming winter
There will hardly be any change in
politics involved i'm the Senatorial
election III New York fourteen months
heEce, and there will certainly be
none in the elections in any of the
three states of Iowa, Ohio and Mary
land. Nor is there likely to be any
material alteration of partisan condi-
tons made by the canvasses in the
other states. The Democrats will
hold their own, except, perhaps, i'm
Indiana, and even there the chances
tor Republican gain are not hopeful,
while the Republicans can scarcely,
in any reasonable contingency. lose
more than one or two senators at the
outside. In the upper branch of the
Fitty-frst Congress, which opens two
weeks hence, the Republicans will
have ten majority, counting Montana,
and six majority if that state goes to
the Democrats, and a reduction of
this margin to the extent of over two
at the outside in the senate which as
sembles i'm 1891 would be as great a
surprise to the Democrats as it would
be to the Republicans. Over that
Senate, Of course, as over the one
which is about to open, there will he
Republican Vice President to preside
who will have the casting vote if
there should be tie between the
parties.

A LINE ALLIANCE.

G1BsoN's STATION, N. c., April 10, 'S9:
Mr.. EDTToR:-Having been elected
Corresponding Secretary for State
Line Alliance, of which / am a mem
Der, I send you a few items for puoll-
cation.
AT the meeting before this last we
adopted bylaws for the government
of our Alliance, which we DelleVe
will prove beneficial.
/ would like to suggest to the ALL
ances of the State, through your valu-
able paper, the Importance OF conduct
ing all their meetings strictly in &C
cordance with parliamentary usage.
Let every Sub-Alliance provide itself
with a copy of Cushing's Manual,
which can be had for fifty cents, and
follow it in their proceedings. 1t
would add interest to the meetings
and be a means of education to the
members.
At our next meeting we will dis
cuss this question:
Resolved, That it is desirable to
have the ladies of our community
Join our Alliance.
That indicates how far we are be-
hind, but we do not intend to remain
&here.
Our Secretary has forwarded our
contributions to the State Agency
Fund, $50; also to something the An
drews fund, which vas secured by a
- - +ln Lost SonofInP
The meeting of the County Alliance
Mt Laurinburg last Friday was quite
an interesting one.
A resolution recommending the
building of oil mill, to be owned and
controlled by Alliance men, at some
point on the c. G. R. R., between
Rockingham and Maxton, created
quite a warm discussion. The resolu.
fion was amended, locating the mill at
McLean's Crossing, between Laurel
Hill and Laurinburg. The matter
was placed in the hands of the Bust
ness Agents of the county. Any
brother wishing to take stock can
communicate with Bro. Harden, at
Laurinburg.
Some action was taken in regard to
cotton bagging, which will be com
municated to the Alliances of the State,
The next meeting is to be held at
Rockingham.
The farmers of our section have
planted their corn and are now de-
voting their attention to cotton plant
ing. The eason has been favorable;
rain in a few days would help. The
cold wave which reached US Saturday
has subsidized.
The Alliance is to be congratulated
In having two such excellent organs
as The Progressive FARMER. and
the National Economist. If they create
a habit of thoughtful reading among
the great masses of farmers they will
have served a great end.
Yours truly, R. B. CLARKE.
