DEEP WATER HARBORs.

ence TO the importance Of improving
the harbOrs Of our southern coast is
unquestionably true. The west needs
these more direct points for the mar
keting of farm and other products.
There is neither economy or good
management in negleCting to improve
our natural coast advantages. But
in the enactment Of Legislation look
ing 10 this end, there are vital con-
siderations which must not be lost
sight Of.
For many years past no Legislation
looking toward the development OF
public enterprises has been urged
which was unaccompanied by schemes
for selfish and personal ends. Cor
porations or Cliques Of individuals
foreseeing an opportunity to enrich
themselves, would set in motion the
Legislative machinery, and at the
same time they would systematically
engage in educating the uninitiated
public to believe that the proposed
measures were purely for the public
benefit.
1t is not charged that the recent
extensive agitation, and the great
conventions, in the interest Of the inn
provement Of the gulf ports are
backed by fraudulent designs, for we
believe that in the main the agitation
is the result of popular demand based
on q realization Of the great con-
venience and economy to trade. But
we wish to sound note OF warning,
that the terms and details of legisla-
tion will be closely scanned, and
anything savoring Of jobbery will be
vigorously fought by the peoples
Representatives in Congress. Here
after when the public money
is appropriated itmust be made plain
that the expenditure is really and
truly in the interest Of the public, and
all the benefits accruing therefrom
must 80 to the public and that with
out any chance Or possibility Of such
benefit being reduced to a minimum
by concessions Of rights or privileges

II the government 1. G., the people,
shall furnish the money TO enlarge
the harbors and construct the wbarfs
then the government, !. e., the people,
must retain exclusive control Of their
own property, and the privilege OF
fixing wharfage charges must not be
granted to any individual or COM
pany It would be quite possible to
destroy all the benefit which these
increased facilities would afford by
granting privileges to syndicate9 or
by leaving ungusrded any point

THE ALLIANCE FAIR.

i last week was a uccess in every
respect. The County Alliance owns
the grounds, and has charge of every
thing. The citizens of Salisbury kind
Iy presented the Fair Association with
a purse of $500 which the farmers
duly appreciate. Owing to their being
late in getting ready and having to
enclose the grounds, put up buildings
and gather one of the largest crops
ever made in the county, they had a
smaller exhibit than they might have
had with more time before them. The
blooded stock on exhibition was I'm
usually good.

A FEW FACTS.

THE party papers of the State all
I claim that they nave enough Of
the members of the House pledged to
elect Senator Vance. What right
have the counties to instruct candi
dates? instruction should come from
the people in their primary capacity.
In a speech in CASTOR county, just
before the election, Senator Vance
stated that all but three candidates
we're pledged to vote for him. What
are the facts? We think that Cum
berland county was the first to nomi
nate and leave their candidates unin
structed. The folio wing counties,
also: Wayne, Granville, Wake, Gas
ton, Cleveland, Catawba, Forsyth and
other counties that we cannot now re
Ill. Wake and Catawba each p4ssed
a resolution agreeing to call another
convention provided Senator Vance
Vance might have opposition. This
is the only way to settle the matter.
This endorsement business was
rushed throughthe county conventions
before the people could have time to
grasp the situation. Senator Vance
wrote the letter to President Carr Just
before the conventions were held
The people having so much faith in
his integrity, did not doubt but that
he would make everything satisfac.
tory. They hoped that he would.
In some county conventions Meek
lenburg, for instance-being a strik
ing example-they failed to endorse,
unanimously. Many Alliance men
refused to vote either way. The ALI
ance Democrats were pledged, but in
some instances against their wishes.
In many counties where representa-
tives were instructed by the conven,
lions, a large majority Of the people
Were and are opposed to such instruc.
ttOnS.
The first duty of a true Alliance
mar is to see that Alliance measures
and principles are sustained.
We will take for example Iredell
county. Bros. Holman and Williams
are both true Alliance men. Before
their nomination they were called on
the stand add underwent a thorough
examination. They promised to vote
for Vance to be his own successor.
They thought he would set himself
right before the people, and that they,
as true Alliance men, could agree to
support But he has not done
SO. Have the R0t a right to ask the
people of Iredeu county for new in
structions2 Can they go ahead and
vote against the wishes of sc many
of their constituents ? Would they
not be doing themselves a great injus
tice? A majority of the members of
the Alliance IN North Carolina have
solemnly promised to do all in their
power to get the State and National
demands enacted into law. If they
allow a United States Senator to be
elected who, for several months, has

GEN. GORDON ELECTED SEN,
ATOR.

n REALTY to the surprise of the
VI public, the Legislature of Gsor
gia elected Gov. Gordon to succeed
Senator Brown in the U. S Senate.
1t is the prevalent opinion, too, that
the Alliance of Georgia is greatly mis-
represented in this selection. 1t has
been a foregone conclusion for some
weeks that he would certainly be de.
feated, as the sentiment of the ALI
ance and Of the Alliance members in
n legislature was overwhelmingly
against him, but the vote showed that
there was no concert among the Ali
ance members, their votes going to
five candidates. There is a cause for
their strange course, and we greatly
mistake the Alliance people of that
State if they fail to investigate it.

THE TWO SIDES.

ON the one side are seventy thou.
~ sand Alliance Democrats, not
two hundred of whom aver voted
against Senator Vance, These men
have been to him in all his political
carer what the cid guard was to Na
poleon. They have stood by him
Loyalty and devotely in all his trials,
even when he was assaiIed by many
of those who nov claim to be his
friends and who are now abusing our
side.
Who is opposed to US? Who is
on the other side? Whatever else
may be said of them, one thing cannot
be denied, every enemy Of the Alliance
in the Stute IS on that side. And they
have arranged themselves on that side
because they hope through the in
duence and pr sstige of the Senator's
name to divide and ruin the Alliance
in this State. What arrogance! What
assumption! What audactty To
stand up and denounce ninety thou
sand honest and true men because
they will not bow th~r necks and
surrender their principles and their
manhood at the dictation of one man!
Are we a race of slaves? "Is thy
servant a dog, that he should do this
thing ?" Senator Vance says in his
letters and speeches that our bill is
unconstitutional and the devil will
get him if he votes for it. He even
went so far as to say in one of his let
tiers thai "gt as q delusjon and a snare"
and yet it is expected that all the
members of II order must support
him without a word of dissent. The
whole order endorsed it-uearly 1900
Alliances in our State endorsed it
thousands and thousands of them
petitioned Senator Vance and Con
to pass it. Yet there are men
who have so little regard for consis,
tency, for manhood and principle,
that they demand that We should
submit and thus stultify u
before the world. This cues
ton will not down at the bidding of
any man or party. 1t is here to stay
and there are thousands and millions
of good and true men who intend to
stay with it.
