WILLIAM O'BRIEN, the Irishman, is
stubborn aud pathetic figure just now;
he has singular pluck aud patriotism.
He was lately arraigned under the Grimes
Act, escaped from the Court house to
Manchester, England, was recaptuIed and
thrust into the Tipperary Jail of Clonmel,
and has been changed to the Killarney
Jail "haggard and pale" as the dispatches
tell us. In Clonmel Jail, Balfour, the
English rufiaD, wanted to put upon
O'Brien prison clothes; the prisoner re-
belled, and was left upon bare boards
stripped naked, with shaven head and
beard. At the time of his imprisoning
and at the times of his changes from one
Jail to another, his countrYmen fight and
die for him under splendid English re-
sistance. For nearly century ireland
has been wholly under English rule. In
the iorties O'Connell spoke for liberation
in politics and in religion. His efforts
resulted in a recognition of the Catholics
as co-independent with the Pretestants.
Parnell, the cold parliamentariao, has
striven with enduring inesse for Ireland's
political liberties and hand in hand with
him, O'Brien, the editor OF United Ireland,
has with wasting and warm enthusiasm
written.and worked toward the same end.
1t is fight of poor tenants against rich
landlords, of proud people against cruel
tyranny. O'Counell died of exhaustion,
heart-broken among former friends that
had renounced him Psrnell is beirg
viciously, oorruptly and lsingly perse-
cuted by the London Times; O'Brien
is naked and shaven, "haggard and pale, d
carrying the cross Of bis people; the
poor Irish tenants ask only for bread;
and Ireland asks for freedom. This is
the situation, and Gladstone, once Tory,
once an enforcer of the Crimes acts, is
now the counsel of Ireland before Eng
land and mankind. Salisbury took Glad
stones place because Gladstone was for
mercy and the people, and he was for
cruelty and the Queen. Is there any
wonder that the great heart of free
America throbs for poor Ireland? ? AS a
contemporary iu substance remarks, does
it not seem strange that the manic 'BrieDl
should be treated as a prisoner by Eng
land when be is loved as a patriot by
| Ireland

THERE has been an address issued in
South Carolina calling upon white voters
to organize Republican party. In the
address appears the following: ga large
majority of voters are practically dis
fraucLised, yet they are forced to bear the
burdensome taxation yearly levied upon
them" In the words of Dennis Kearney,
"look at the gall of this - Pray, what
taxes do negroes pay? Such movements
are the quioksand of Democracy. Such
movements will take place in many
Southern States during the next four
years. The future is full of problems and
struggles for Democrats. Be patient and
firm and read the history of the party
since Jefferson, consider its present aims
Stand fast brethren with this motto: The
Democrats intend to work out the prob
lens of the South.

WE had pleasant call during the
week from Capt. S. B. Alexander, who
talked earnestly aud entertainingl7 con-
ceruing the bright outlook for the AL
lance and the farmers. The order will
establish next April in Washington a
National organ-The National Economist
which will have probably million and
half subscribers and which will remain
on the spot to examine closely into all
legislation and keep the farmers thor
oughly posted as to the merits and de-
merits of different bills "The farmers
have rights" said the Captain, "and they
mean to get them" We will add that
the sooner the farmers get their RICH
the better it will be for the country.
Farmers are not those who jump the
country, but are tied to the land, and
when they rise together and ask for a
measure, their voice should carry that
force which belongs to the breadwinner
of sixty millions. The farmer is here to
stay-is the fountain of our physical life
and his interests cannot be jeopardized
without striking at every true material
interest of the country.

The Six Per Cent Joke,

The movement to reduce the legal rate
of interest in North Carolina to six per
cent, is singular one. The question is a
simple business proposition. Money, like
other commodities, seeks the highest mar
ket. Money briggs almost elk per cent
in New York; eight per cent in Virginia
on gilt-edged collaterals; ten per cent in
Georgia and South Carolina The ques.
tion is: Can the farmers buy money here
for six per cent when the capitalist can
get ten per cent in Georgia? ? Then, bet
ter have some money here at eight pei
cent than almost none at six.
