GROUNDLESs FEARS.

Speaking oil the Alliance, recent.
~ in session at Stsrkville, the
Times says:
There r many newspapers in
this State attempting TO make it APP
pear that The Farmers Alliance is
! about to split the Democratic par
Nv. The Alliance is composed OF
Democrats, and the best Democrats
of ihe State. They will do nothing
detrimental to the Democracy and
the maintenance of white suprem-
acy will not be endangered by
them. or course there are Repub-
!icans in the order, but they are in
the minority and have little
strength aud no influence pOliIi-
cally. The farmers are only doing
what they can 10 carry out inside
of the party their theories and
elect men who will puttheIr theo-
ries into practice. This is u right
inherent to every American citi-
zen and the Alliance can exercise
this right without breach Of party
ties. The alliance has a right col
leciively and individually 10 battle
for their ideas and men inside OF.
Dariy lines, and because the farm
ers arc doing this nc political clique
or newspaper has a right 10 at
tempt TO exclude them from party
lines. The Farmers Alliance is a
Democratic body; they largely
compose the Democratic party ;
aud the party must give any ideas
they set forth q trial.

sFFIsE OF INSTRUMENTATION
Aberdeen Examiner.

AuoIucoH EAaulincEs
1t appears 10 us a little singula
that many OF those who have man
itested repugnance to The aLpr0
priating system, and who clamol
for The election by the people o
officers from the Governor "all the
way down to filth corporal" should
at the same time demand al
amendment 10 The Constitution
doing away with the Office of Lieu
tenant-G overnor-whOse salary il
represented by The magnificent
stipend Of $4,000 a year.
This savorS badly Of mcons:s.
tency, and comes nearer taking the
control of affairs out of the hands
OF the people than any other
amendment proposed.
The Lieutenant Governor is The
President OF the Senate, as the
Vice President is the President OF
The United States Senate, and in
the event of the death of the
Governor he becomes chief execu
live of the State, and is elected by
the people, with That distinct un-
der.tanding. On the other hand, il
the office is abolished, the Senate,
without reference to The voice or
choice of the people-except IN
his own county or senatorial dis
trict-elects a member of that
body President, aud in the event
Of the Governors death, absence
from the State, or physical, men
tai or criminal disability, their
choice, regardless of the voters
choice, assumes the reins Of admin
islraticn. This Is a CONDITION of
affairs always possible, and under
no circumstances desirable except
to that small portion of our people
who favor the election OF every
executive officer by the Legisla-
ture.
Several States have in the last
few years sc amended their con
stitutions as 10 provide Tor the
election by the people of Lieuten
ant-GoYernOr, but We do not know
of a single instance in which the
organic law has been amended 20
as to substitute an election by the
State Sena,e for an election by the
people, in the matter Of presiding
officer OF the upper house and pos.
sible successor to the Governor.
The States hat now have Lieuten-
ant Governors are as follows:
California, Colorado, Connect
cut, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Indi.
ana, Kentucky, Kansas, Louisiana,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi,
Nebraska, Nevada, New Hamp.
shire, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania. Rhode Island.
South Carolina, Texas, Vermont.
Virginia, Montana, North Dakota,
Dakota, Washington and
in all, and
The two new States, of
Idaho and Wyoming, should BIZ
10 this number.
There is no reasonable plea
hat can be urged in behalf of this
change except That OF economy,
and This can hardly be entertained
n an instance where The expendi
.ure is so small in comparison with
he contingencies involved, and
where those who demand the
amendment are in many instances
n favor of continuing that "flih
Wheel 10 a wagon" Ihe State
of Railroad Commissioners.

with two teachers appointed by
the county Superintendent of Ed

meet at the court house on the first
Monday In October, 1890, and Sc

books so selected are to be the on

and no teacher in the public
schools will be allowed to use any
text book in the branches other
than those adopted by the com
mittee of seven teachers.
The last Legislature has never,

In the tariff act passed by the first con-
gress the tonnage tax On foreign vessels
was more than eight times greater than
that imposed on domestic tonnage. The
most serious obstacle % the rebuilding OF
our merchant marine is found in the
protective system of England as applied
to her shipping in the form Of subsidies.
When this government is wise enough TO
meet the English in this particular and
give TO our merchant marine n bounty
for every league sailed or steamed in car
rying the United States mails. then. and
not till then, will it revive. The bounty
or subsidy should be sufficiently ample
to carry our mails and establish our trade
in every nook and corner of the earth
The talk about the tariff destroying our
carrying trade is rubbish. Our carrying
trade today is 81, 400, 600, 0c0 annually.
Ia 1860 it was $500 O00, 600. showing an
increase Of over 800 per cent. since 1850
IL is absurd to argue that we, who stand
pre-eminent for efficiency and choapness
OF our locomotives, cars and railroad
service generally, who have introduced
our types Of stationary engines and
pumps into England, whore they are
either purchased or built, retain our old
skill as sailors, and have the fastest and
best river and coastwise steamers in the
world, cannot build and sail the fastest
and best ocean steamers at the lowest
cost II our government extended the
Same aid to our shipping which the mer-
chant marine OK England received, and
which Germany, France, Spain, Italy
and Australia are now giving TO their
shiDping.
