THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS.

We i~~. fs~ 81 two classes of extremists
belonging to our order. One class affirm
that the Alliance should nominate and sup
port an entire independent ticket. Tho other
class assert that the Allisnce should (as q
body, have nothing to do with politics-yet
there is a middle ground that seems 10 us to
be moro commeudable and just. Our order
doesnot embrace 10y any moans) all the good
men, nor all the avocations whose interests
need protection and wise legislation. We
should demand, but only demand, our just
share in the representative halls of County,
State and nation. We should support men
who will frame and administer the best laws
for the general good: and not e=pco. u IL.
sire our own elevation to the injury of honest
men in any honest calling. II we have bet
ter men in our Alliances 10 fiji our Offices
than we can find outside, he is n traitor that
will not support them. If We have q man
in our Alliances that can fill an office equally
as we'll as an outsider, you ought to, and it
But if ws find mon outside our OraSErr HtiHat

honest people, VIC are net true men if we
refuse to,support such q one. My brethren,
let it be ours and let US show to the worl d
that our motto and aims are, "jus!ice to all

SYMPATHY.

Sympathy (or sun and pathos, a feeling
with) j.: Il noble attribute. Who ofus could
bear life i;:als and sufferings if it were not
for the sympathy of friends and loved ones.
We have right to cast off part Of the load
on our friends when our sorrows are great.
To receive the Lad is charity. Life, creation,
our very existence means work, and suffer-
ing. We ought to work; there is no lasting
sunshine without it. We all must also suffer.
There is no depth of virtue without it. These
two essential elements of victorious life
continually demand sympathy, backed by
charity. But for human being to work
hopelessly without sympathy, was never or
dained of a bene6cent Creator. Surely God
himself never worked in that frame of mind.
When you or l, my brother, my sister, find a
fellow creature attempting to work on that
plane, then our christian charity, which is
only sympathy intensified, should come in
to give him lift. And the end of that SYM
pathy is not reached when the sufferer is able
to simply support himself, that none be burd-
ened further with him but not until he can
see daylight enough to work chcerfully and
when life again becomes bearable, and where
the man ceases to suffer more than to enjoy
Poverty, sorrow and discipline, will never
cease their ministry on earth. But where
God-given and God-uscd sympathy has her
perfect work, there can be made in every
life more sunshine than rain. This is rea-
sonabe goal. Though time is the probation
for eternity; yet it may be more glad than
sad while it lasts. The very essence Of
christian charity is lone work and love for
workers. Then 10 Ie happy, dear reader, let
us see that all are working chcerfully.

m. Howard school. =

The total number of pupils enrolled this
term is two hundred and niuety, and would
have been more, if accommodation could
have been secured. AS it was, We were
literally packed, like sardines in box.
Our building is sadly in need of repairs,
but the Town Council has kindly agreed to
repair it for us, and work will begin at an
early date, as part Of the material is already
on the ground.
We hope it will be repaired with view to
the health and comfort of the pupils, as both
these essentials were overlooked in its con-
struct'on.
We are under many obligations TO the
Council and Trustees for the kindly interest
they have taken in our school, and we will
prove that the cducatirn Of the negro is not
simply an experiment
If all the colored schools have made as
much improvement as ours, in the past two
terms, we need not care straw whether the
Blair Bill becomes u law or not, aud yet
we have not attained the best results, for we
have entirely too many pupils for successful
work, there being only two teachers.

FINISHED vs. UNFINISHED.

The little prefix, .'un," Joined to the word
finished means q great deal, and makes a
vast amount of difference to the farmer in
the resources of his farm.
The finished products Of our farms, which
are ready for the consumer or user, when
they leave the farm, bsing good margin of
profit between the producer aud consumer
The unfinished products of our farms are
low down in price to the producer, but not
to the consumer. And right here is the
main cause Of the prevailing agricultural
depression. We place upon tho market too
The majority of our farmers depend, almost
entirely, on our cotton crops to buy our
money with, and the principal part of that
money is used 10 buy articles that might
have been grown and finished on our farms
or among ourselves. Did you, my bro
ther, ever think what vast amount Of pro-
fits are made on the manufacture of your
cotton? After you spend almost 13 months
in year, in the production of your cotton
you will take bale weighing 500 lbs. to
market and perhaps may get 10 cents, which
is $50 for tho bale, and the manufacturers
in a few hours will offer you the same cotton,
manufactured into the cheapest cloth, for not
less than 5000, which is 400 per cent profit
In quotations of the market in western
city we find oats at Is cents per busee, oat-
meal cents per pound, making 2lbs. OF
oatmeal buy 32lbs. of oats Wheat at 80
cents bushel, and for the best patent -four
we must pay $500 per barrel. You see, We
are selling our unfinished farm products to
combines, trusts and monopolies, TO be manu-
featured in their patent machinery by patent
processes, and We are to buy at tho mercy Of
soullcss powers. No, my brothq, our only
hope is in ourselves, and the remedy is at
our doors. Put dynamite under the noun
tans Of improvidence that hover around
your hoaes, and hurl them to atoms, and
you will be surprised how many finished
articles that you have been spending your
hard earned money for, can be produced on
your own farms.
Your smoke-house, granary and corn crib,
as if touched by magic wand, will migrate
from the distant west, and nicely nestle
around your own yard. Home raised mules
will occupy your stables aud till your fields.
Then our wives and daughters, Brethren,
who have lived such selfsacrifcing lives will
have the means to beautify and adorn our
homes, and TO ride to church in nice
buggy or carriage drawn by fat home e-rais-
ed horse.
Am visionary? Not at all. You just
wake up to your surroundings, and take
in the possibilities within the reach of an
energetic wide-awake farmer. Lay aside
your false pride, and work with honest
hands for honest reward. Make for sale
the thousand and one things that o thrifty
