viii establish a school of their own at
MoOrhead City. The foundation Of the
first of the buildings was laid last week
and it will speedily be completed. 1t
will accommodate 300 pupils, and other
buildings will be erected. The object is
to furnish tuition and board at actual |
cost. The superintendent viii buy food |
at wholesale and each pupil will pay his
exact proportion of the cost. 1t is calcu-
lated that this will not exceed S. per
month. 1t is proposed to divide the sal
aries of the teachers among the scholars
in the same way. Agents are now at
work among the Alliane in various sec
tons of the State.
The Farmers Alliance is being used
by the republican leaders in many sec
tons OF the country, and every farmer
should hesitate before allowing himself
to be cajoled by the party opposed to him
and all his interests. The Republican
party has committed almost every politi-
cal crime in the calendar during the past
thirty years, and among its few good
deeds we cannot recall a single instance
in which it has acted for the benefit ofthe
man who tills the soil. The Mckinley
bill is the latest outrage upon the toilers,
who are already in deplorable condition,
and the farmer who votes the Republican
ticket after digesting this iniquitous
measure is either very foolish or very
much afraid of the party lash.-Lerington

The Nashville Packing Company has
applied for a charter at Nashville, Tenn.
The immediate outlay will be 100000,
and when the plant is in running order
will employ between 900 and 900 men.
The location selected consists of 939 acres
Of the western extremity of Nashville. 1t
is estimated that at first 100000 hogs and
$4,000 cattle will be slaughtered, and this
amount, it is said, will be increased as the
supply increases till the full capacity of
100000 hogs, $4,000 cattle and $4,000
sheep is reached. COld-air Easements
will be built in connection with the pack
ing-house to chill the air so that the
slaughtering may be be done in warm as
as well as in cold weather. The concern
will be the largest south of the Ohio and
east of the Mississippi river, and is backed
by w. H. Silberhorn, who is at present at
the head of three large Western packing
houses, and Mr.. A. S. Garretson, a South
ern city capitalist.
The meeting of the tobacco growers of
Mercer county, Monday, to take steps in
opposition to the tobacco warehouse trust,
indicates a spirit of resistance that is CON-
mendable. It's something new for the
farmers to raise their voices against or
CARNATIONS; they have heretofore stool
everything so easily and so trustfully, but
in this meeting they talked right out, and
proposed to unite with others in frustrat-
ing the designs of men who have no care
! for their interests. But these questions
arise, Will they act will the meeting at
Lexington do anything more than to pass
resolutions? if not, then all that is said
will be of no avail. Those in the ware
house trust are never heard to speak.
They use their money and work for their
organization. The meeting at Lexington
should determine upon plan of resis-
lance that will not only break up the
trust, but will place the whole warehouse
business in the hands of the producers,
so that they can select their own mana
gers and if any money is made in the
business, let it be prorated among those
who by the sweat of the brow have
earned it. No third party is necessary
between the producer and the manufac-
turer.-Harrodsb1Tg Sayings
