DemagSFe'
and the Farmers ALI
ance.
IPittsbOrO Record ]

Selfish demagogues are trying to use
the Farmers Alliance for their person
al prefcrment, and for the promotion
Of their individual interests. Designing
men, who have no hope Of obtaining
office in any other way, have joined
the Alliance solely for the purpose of
securing some Office. Therefore it be-
hooves the true men of the Alliance
the men who have joined the organ1a-
ton because of its great principles-to
look out for such ffiCe-seekeIs and to
beware of them. There have been
traitors and unworthy members OF
every organization and Church that
ever existed, and it is no reflection on
the Alliance to sta.e that there are
such men in their organization. Hy-
pocrisy is despic able, and true Ali
ance men should despise and expel
those hypocritiral members who have
joined their order merely to subserve
their pers DIAL interests. And the
worst of it is these hypocrites are the
very men who appeal the strongest TO
the passions and prejudices OF their fel-
lOw-ueT bers
One of these fellows received a very
severe and deserved rebuke last week
by the Alliance in Rowan county.
One Krder was president of the coun-
ty Alliance in Rowan, and relying on
chat high position he announced HIM
self an independent candidate for
sheriff, expecting, of course, that the
Alliance would support him. But he
was wofully mistaken. On last Friday
the county Alliance held its annual
election for officers, and although XII
der was a candidate for reelection for
president he received only fOe votes,
and they are said to have been cast
by Republicans.
We would commend this action of
the Rowan County Alliance for the
imitation of other counties.

City Finances.

A few weeks ago the GOLD LEAF
published a statement showing the
amount of receipts and disbursements
in the town for the fiscal year ending
June LIST, as exhibited in the settle
ment with the Treasurer. AS an error
was made lin this office in one OF two
items, we have thought it well to re-
publish giving fuller report and show
inc from what source each separate
amount was derived and for what spe-
citic purpose it was paid out. We are
enabled to do this by the kindness of
Mr.. J. II. Bridgers, the very accurate
and efficient City Clerk, who has OBJ
lingly furnished us with copy of his
1" Rcport to the Board of Commission
ers of the receipts and disbursements
of the town of Henderson, properly
classified. This shows that the re-
ceipts for the General Town Fund,
from all sources. amounted to S7,77l.-
81, of which there was expended for
all purposes the sum Of $7,O89.42
leaving balance in the hands of the
Treasurer at the day of settlement,
June 10Th, 1880, of $GS2.15.
The entire receipts and disburse-
nents are as follows:

Yhe 1ailY Eight.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1890.


Innocent mirth is most desirable, but not
mirth expended at the cost of another's feel
ing: and Salisbury's unfortunate career, ter
minating as it did in sickness and poverty, is
an example of a handsome man., possessed of
fair ability, who by utter disregard of loyal
tv to his manager and of respect for the pub
lie gradually lost the confidence of all who
knew him, and became a neglected wreck.
The practice of guying is objectionable, and
the indulgence in it unworthy of al artist or
a gentleman. The leisure hours passed in a
dressing room or the green room afford am
pie time for an actors amusement without
inficting the exuberance of his personal humor
upon the audience. The rehearsals and sub
sequent performances of a play are not his
property, and he has no right to mutilate
them. Managers and leading actors are alto
gether too lax in their rebuke of this s~enseless
and ruinous practice. They should neither
commit the outrage themselves nor permit it
in others. "Where example leads the way"
the multitude will follow, and no leader can
rightly claim the respect of his company UNI
less he shows it TO them and the public. !
have a suspicion that guying begins where
ability leaves off, and that many actors ex-
hibit this trifing to conceal their own short
comings. Joseph Jefferson in Century.

Some Noted Lovers of Cats.

The famous DIR. johnson, of England,
seemed to think as much of his cat as a hui
man friend. Cardinal WolSey, of England,
used to receive the mobiles of the land with
his ~favorite cat perched upon the arm of his
chair or at the back of his throne. The great
statesman of France, Richelieu, once excused
himself from rising to receive a foreign am
bassador because his favorite cat and her
kittens We're lying on his robes. Petrarch,
the great Italian poet, had his favorite cat
embalmed when she died. Among the Egyp-
tians cats were embalmed as sacred animals.
Louis XIII of France was a stanch friend of
cats, and at an early age interceded in their
behalf on st. Johns day. Mahomet possessed
a cat named Muezza. Once, when the pet
was lying asleep OIL the sleeve of his gown, he
had the part cut away rather than disturb
kitty's dreams. Chateaubriand possessed a
cat called by the euphonious name of Micetto,
a gift from the pope. He studied the habits
of the cat and imagined that his character
partook of many qualities peculiar to his
pet.-New York Herald.

A well known dentist tried hard to collect
a bill, but, after many Intellectual efforts,
said to the debtor: Il do not intend to send
you any more bills, and l don't intend to sue
you; but there is one thing l van to tell
you. Every time you cut off a piece of beef
steak aud pass it to your wife | want you to
remember that she is not chewing that beef
with her teeth, nor with your teeth, but with
my teeth" In two or three days he received
a check. The motion of those doubly false
teeth in his wife's mouth was too much for
the husband .-Christian Advocate.
