THE CHRONICLE AND THE ALL
" ANCE.

THE Charlotte Chronicle is serious
l. ly disturbed by the workings of
the Alliance in Mecklenburg county,
and, in fact, IN the entire State.
Nearly every day it has more or less
to say about the Alliance being
dragged into politics. Last Sunday
it said:
Ever since the last Legislature,
when evidence was not wanting of Al
lance officers using their position to
affect State politics, the Chronicle has
sincerely opposed the Alliances being
dragged into politics; opposed it for
the sake of the Alliance and its con
stitutional purpose, opposed it because
it is undemocratic for any secret society
to take part, a. such, in politics."
Now the memo ers of the Alliance
have for more than three years been
openly saying that they were begin,
ming to see the absolute necessity of
their taking a more active part in the
politics of this country. Every Ali.
ance paper, every speaker and every
writer has said this time and again.
None of this has been secret. It has
been proclaimed to the entire world.
Who has any more right to go into
politics than the farmers? For years
the political papers of this State have
urge1 the farmers to come out to the
primaries and the county conventions;
they have done everything possible to
get them out and now when they are
out and talking and working m~anfuIly
to save the country, these same pa
pers cry "get back, you will ruin
yourselves and the party, too" If
the farmers are in a majority and run
the convention, that is all right. You
political brethren have howled until
we actually can't stay at home any
longer. You are the cause of all the
trouble. You say the majority should
always rule. We r trying our best
to rule and you won't let us. If we
name every candidate in the State,
you + the cause of it. We can't
help being in a majority. Perhaps
you would have us kill a few thousand
"hsyseeders so we would be in a
minority. Less than two months 20
Col. Jones, of Charlotte, said that the
Alliance represented a minority of
the voters in the Sixth district. Now,
Mr.. Chronicle, why don't you get the
majority together and run the ma
chine ? What do you mean by all
this racket about1the Alliance con
trolling things -? Why let a few farm
ers with hayseed in their hair trouble
you?
Again the Chronicle says:
CHOW, then, when the Alliance is
not in politics, the Chronicle sustains
its efforts in behalf of the farmer but
when it enters politics this paper OPP
poses the movement, because it is IN
Democratic for any class to control,
through secret organization, the party's
action, and because it sees in such ac-
ton the wrecking of the Alliance, and
the foil of the worthy and noble pur,
poses of the Alliance"
The Chronicle would have us believe
that the members of the Alliance
should be isolated; that they must
not take any part in the political fight
Except cote. They mast do that. But
they must wait until the nominations
are cut and dried and then break
loose like a drove of wild horses and
rush to the polls and vote.
The Chronicle is greatly disturbed

Liquor and Round Dances.
Special to the jersey City Nesos.
TRENTON, Sept. 80, 1S9O.-The secretaries
of the various councils Of the Catholic
Benevolent Legion have received from
President Harding, of the State Council, "a
circular letter in which he sets forth that
"the attention of the officers of the New
Jersey State Council has been called by
the ecclesiastical authority of the State to
the fact that number of councils in this
State are continually violating the laws
of the Church by holding picnics, excar-
sions, balls. aud also selling Intoxicating
LIQUORS and allowing round dances at the
same, ana otherwise defying the laws of
the Charch, and in some cases, in direct
opposition to the wishes of the Church
authority, duly communicated to Them
The president refers to the fact that
resolution was recently adopted by the
Supreme Council to the effect that ''al-
though business organization, incorpor-
ated under the laws of the State of New
York, and composed entirely of Roman
Catholics, has sought and received the
approval ana blessing of the Hierarchy of
the Church in America, as we'll as of the
Sovereign Pontiff, our Holy Father
Leo Kill, and it is of paramount obliga-
ton that in all things pertaining to faith
and morals our organization shall con-
tinue to merit the favor of our Dlvinely-
appointed teachers of our Holy Church"
In conclusion the president said:-"I hope
and trust that every subordinate council
in the State will feel obliged to obey and
live according to the foregoing resolution.
And in future when complaints are made,
we will thoroughly investigate the viola
tions of the above laws, and mete out
such punishment as the laws of the Legion
will allow ~

BEE COUNTY AND BEEVILLE.
New Ell Dorado for HOmeseekers and
Investors.

Bee county lies midway between the
San Antonio and Nueces rives, less than
100 miles southeast of San Antonio, 100
west of Houston, 60 from Arkansas Pass,
the future great seaport, and 200 from
the Rio Grande. The county is generally
level or rolling prairie, but well drained
and entirely free from marshes. Black
sandy loan with clay sub-soil Is the pre-
vailing quality of soil, interspersed in
some portions with very, rich black mes
quite land. While the soil is as rich as
any in Texas, there is none but what
contains sand enough to scour on the
plow. Bee county will average as much
cotton to the acre as any in the state.
Picking begins a month earlier and con-
tinues month later than in North Texas
Corn and oats grow well, never having
failed entirely. Wheat is but little
sown. The crop of natural mesquite hay
is something immense. Irish and sweet
potatoes, melons, pumpkins and all
kinds of vegetables grow TO great perfec-
ton. Pears, peaches, plums, apricots,
figs, oranges, bananas, strawberries,
raspberries and all kinds OF small fruits
grow remarkably well, as demonstrated
upon the market fruit farms that are
being opened around Beeville. Bee
county has plenty of timber for fuel and
fencing About three-fourths of the coun-
ty is susceptible of cultivation, though
hess than 10 per cent. is now cultivated.
RAISING of cattle, horses aud mules has
been the chief occupation Of the people
until 1890, when the farm average has
been tenfold increased. Much attention
is given TO improving the breeds, and
stock farming is destined to be the lead
ing industry. The blizzard 8 chilling
blast spends its fury before reaching Bee
county and has but little influence upon
the Thermometer. Sixty miles is far
enough removed from the gulf to get full
benefit of Its constant and glorious
breezes shorn of its excess of salt and
humidity and perfumed with the fra
GRANGE of the flower-decked prairies, af-
fording, indeed, climatic Ell Dorado.
Here is the world Is sanitarium and place
Of refuge from scores 'of the ills the hui
