Their love had long since doomed,
He may have found soldiers grave,
The daisies DER her bloomed.
At last the cloud Of war rolled by,
The sun of peace again
Shone DER the mountain ranges high
And beamed athwart the plain.
The maid one morn her pensive way
Took through the dewY mead,
Each bud and blade and blossomed

It's sweetest fragrance shed.
She paused beneath an old oak tree,
Whose spreading branches wide
Had often sheltered them when he
Had still been at her side.
She saw their welded names still clear
Where he had carved them glad {:
Her cheek received the tender tear
Of recollection sad.
Down on the sward she weeping knelt,
As memory in her s'irrel.
And while her heart upon him dwelt.
His voice she thought she heard.
Il sounded ss 'twere far away.
So faint the cadence seemed;
Hopes happy thrill she forced to say,
She feared she had but dreamed.
Upon her feet she trembling rose,
And cast O look around;
No rivers rushing torrent flows,
On its sea, journey bound.
As last as flies you foaming steee,
With rider brave and true,
Whose fond desires still faster speed
As their goal stands to view.
The welcome, long sought, blissful

Breaks On her beaming eyes;
A moment, and q rosebud white

Clasps TO his heart again
The dark-eyed daughter of the South,

HOW IT IS

VIZ note that many of the papers

National Bank question, labor to
show that it would be unwise to a5ol-
ish this system at once and without
due preliminary preparation for so i'm,
portant a change This is in explana

Vance on this subject. Indeed the
Senator says as much in a recent let.
ter on the subject. Well tell as,
pray, who has advocated the anamed5-
ate adjustment of the system ? 1t is
in the Alliance demands and also in
the State Democratic platform, but is
it to be~supposed for a moment that
either the Alliance or the Democratic
party demands that this whole system
should De wiped out an q day2 Does

iquitous system abolished and are
very far from demanding of Senator
Vance or any one else that it should
be done in such way as to throw the
business of the whole country into
confusion. To enter such a plea, it
seems to us, is to argue that the Ali.
ance and the Convention were COM
posed of a lot Of idiots.
We published the demands of the
Alliance and the Convention in favor
of abolishing the>system, and pub

he was opposed to it, and asked for
an explanation. If the above explain

TEXAS STATE ALLIANCE

The meeting of the mother State
Alliance in Dallas was harmonious and
fully representative of the great or
g~anization in the Lone Star State.
The brotherhood is fully united and
rapidly recovering territory lost
through misunderstanding and dis
sension. The S~aE-Treasury, together
with the ST. Louis platform, was in
dorsed, and the following resolutions
passed, the publication Is pertinent by
reason of falsehoods spread broadcast
by venal newspapers and slanderers:
WHEREAS, Reports have been from
time to time circulated through the
press and otherwise derog atory Of our
brethren in charge of the Farmers
Alliance Exchange of Texas, and
whereas, such reports have done the
brethren and our Order great injustice
and injury, and whereas the books of
said Exchange have recently been

Alliance that we declare all such re-
ports false and unworthy to be believed;
and further, that any one cognizant of
any fraud in the Exchange manage

parties may be properly dealt with.

THE SITUATION IN KANSAS.

FROM a private letter from the
Il Secretary of the State Alliance
of Kansas, we make the following ex
tract. 1t will be seen that it differs
widely from the staten, ats that are
given out through the partisan press.
A gain in membership Of fifty per
cent. in five mon!hs SHOWS a wonder
full progress. Onward and upward
moves the Alliance.
Notwithstanding the party papers
publish numberless statements to
prove that the Alliance is losing in
membership, we have ga ned 6ty per
cent. since March 3Iss, 1890. We are
having a regular camp-meeting all
over the State. Thousands of people,
every day, sit for hours to hear the
gospel of deliverance.
For years I have desired to see sec
tionalism buried and the people, from
the lakes to the gulf, from Maine to
California, clasp hands in fraternity
and unity and be again one people. I
hope shat | now see the dawn of an
era of peace, when justice shall be
meeted out to all mankind alike and

WHO IS TO BLAME?

60 grossly misleading, and so unfair
~ and unjus5 have been the efforts
of the enemies of Tue PROGRESSIVE
FARMER and Of the Alliance, to falsify
and misrepresent Us, that we are con
strained, through self-respect, to give
our readers a few facts bearing on the
Vance controversy, which it may be
we'll to remember.
When the editor reached his hom9
from MS Western tour, u readers
will remember that he wrote an article
for this paper on the matter. They
will remember that there was not a
word or syllable in that article to
which Senator Vance, or any one,
could object. 1t was in every way
deferential and respectful. So far as
we know, not a paper in the State
copied 1t, or even a line of it, but they
kept up the crusade Of abuse and mis-
representation. We we're shown a large
pile of manuscript-letters and resolu
tions from among the very best PEG
pie in the State, against the Senator.
We asked our Associate not to pub.
ISL them, and requested him not to
write any more on the subject. We
started on our Southern tour. Ga the
18th o. August, we met the Chairman
of the State Democratic Executive
Committee, in AshevilIe, and told him
Of the unjust warfare which was still
kept up, and appealed to him to stop
it, if possible, and he promised to do
So W. reached Raleigh about the
lst inst. and had an interview with
that gentleman. We told him that
we had written but one article, and
that we regarded it as an offering of
peace-that for weeks The Progress
sIvE FARMER had contained nothing
editorially against Senator Vance
that we had stood silent with the hope
THAI the agitation woul1 cease, and
reminded him of his promise made at
Asheville. He replied that he had
used every effort to stop it, but was
unable to do so. We then replied
that there was but one thing left for
US to do. We then wrote the articles
in our issue of the I'd ms. Our read
ers will remembec the respectful and
conservative tone of those articles, but
it was promptly announced in the oppo
sition papers and sent by telegraph all
g the country, that we had made a
fresh onslaught on Senator Vance u
-" denouncing Vance," &c. Was
there anything in those articles to
justify such language? We assert
land we challenge our enemies to show
to the contrary that we have not
penned a line Or spoken a WORT that
by any fair construction could be dis
torted into even a remote reflection on
the motives or character of the SEM,

purpose or intention. His public acts

SENATOR VANCE TO THE
FARMERS.

I am a farmer, true and tried,
The hayseed is my honest pride;

To squashes in their velvet pods,
And everywhere | see those scenes
Where bloom the fragrant jowl and greens,
l love those rural rustic, things,
Which painters paint and poets sing!
