HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion of The Editor and the
Opinion of Others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics Of the Day.

We are not now and never have
been a great admirer of Col. Polk
but we do wish to see Justice done
him and all other III en-; and it is
unbecoming and should be beneath
such papers as the Wilmington
Messenger and Greensboro Patriot
to try to misrepresent him by in
correctly reporting his speeches and
in-puting improper motions to his
language and actions. Col. Polk is
impulsiVe and sometime erratic, bat
it isunfair and wrong in them to
take advantage Of that fact and try
to make people think that he said
what he didnOt, but what they en-
pccted him to say. They accuse
him Of attacking Vance and making
rather incendiary and unpatrOtic.
speech. The State Chronicle has
set the matter correctly before the
public by interviewing such men as
Prof. Massey and others who were
in Greensboro and heard that speech.
They say that it is untrue. Still a
number Of papers continue to make
the same statement as before and
throw in lot stuff about splitting
the De nocratic party. We have
IL Oked on, heard and read the stuff
on this line for several days, and
have concluded that it is prompted
simply by the unfriendly feeling
thev have against the Alliance. If
this is so they should have the
macliness to come out boldly and
attack the order. 1t is made up
largely of true, patriotic and con-
servative men and they are fighting
for simple justice. Those members
who would not have done wrong
before the Alliance was organized,
will not now do wrong. Now mark
our prediction, the Alliance will
never split from the Democratic
party. for it is the great backbone
of that party. Its principles are all
democratic and any true naember is
q true democrat. If anybody does
ever split from the party, it will
be those who can no longer bam-
boOzle nor dectatc to the farmer
When the split does come it will be
about that class of men who split
from the party and voted with the
republicans in the last Legislature,
at the time the Alliance stood sqaure
in ranks and fought for honest laws
and there it will ever be found.

The distress Of the agricultural

perhaps to great number of causes.
Here i'll the United States it is due
chiefly to unjust laws and specula-

Is general over the world in its
effects ana that is the dispropor-
tiOnately rapid development of in

shows how, in some OF the most

A Bloody Revolution in the Argentine
RepublIc

RepublIc.
A bloody revolution under the COM
mand of Generals Campos and Arreden-
It's, has broken out in the Argentine Re-
public. Desperate fighting has taken
place in the atreets of Buenos Ayres,
and the 10 5 ,s on both sides We're heavy.
Many buildings We're destroyed The
fighting was adverse to the government.
The outbreak was caused by the money
panic that has prevailed at Buenos
Ayres. and which the government
seemed powerless to check. Gold ad-
vanced to premium of 320 The coun-
try was flooded with paper currency.
Business became demoralized, and the
greatest liscontent has prevailed.
The revolution broke out on July 6,
when the artillery stationed at Buenos
Ayres, aided by citizens, raised the
standard of revolt. A series of assaults
were made on the portions occupied by
the police and government troops. The
fighting was desperate, and heaps Of
dead filled the streets.
Later reports represent the fighting as
still going on, and the revolution is gain
ing strength. Great excitement exists
in London and Paris, where Argentine
bonds were lately quoted at a very high
premium. Private advices state that
Bueno5 Ayres is in the hands of the in

ton seems 9~Sured
