The Queer Methods Which Some New
Yorker Adopt to Gain Notoriety.
There are climbs and clubs, but of al
the clubs in the universe the Eccentrit
club of this city is pre-eminently en-
titled to term itself unique. Its object,
are v~ariously stated as 1.-THE abolish
ment of myth and the substitution
therefor of science and reason" and
the characterization and centraliZa
ton of the oneness of the whole. ,
Perhaps the latter definition gives the
clearer idea of its aims. There is a dis
position on the part Of each of the 25s
resident members and ISL nonresident
members which it has. according TO its
official announcement, to believe that
some one Of the 542 other members has
possession of the club constitution and
BYLAWS, but nobody has ever discOv-
cred this mythical custodian.
None Of the 543 members has any
idea Of the location of the club house

his proceedings to the papers.
In short, the ways and constitution
of the Eccentric club are calculated to
make a man doubt his sanity on first
hearing them outlined. John Morris,
the veteran florist OF jefferson market,
is the father and president OF the club;
Mai. Thompson P. McElrath, son of
Horace Greeley's old time partner, is
its secretary, and the Rev. DR.. b. f.
Da Costa is its treasurer. Mr.. Morris
says the club was organized July 4,
1876, and nobody can say him nay.
as he alone was present at its ~organiza-
ton. Occasionally he or Mai. Neil
rath goes through the directory, picks
out n dozen names or so ard elects the
n OF these names to membership
in the club. The sole requisite for
membership is hat the name of the
candidate-not necessarily the candi-
dRte-must be known to some member
Of the club.
The club has tackled all sorts of big
jobs, and has still bigger ones in hand.
lat least, one member of it-grew
tired Of hearing the squeaking of the
brakes on the elevated roads, de
nounced the squeak by resolution, and
advertised, in the name of Col. Hahn,
for some device TO stop It. At the din

club rose up and presented Coroner

Just now a committee of the club is
wrestling with the problem of persuad-

date of the signing Of the Declaration
of Independence. Major McElrath, its
chairman, says he explained the idea

LETTER FROM CATAWBA.
PENELOPE, n. O..

PENELOPE, N. @.
Mr. EDIToR:-I am so delighted
with your paper, The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, that you must allow me to
express my feelings in this regard
first. l would not be without it for
four times what it costs me. If
everybody would read it, it would not
be long till true remedy for the
hard times would be rightly ad-
justed. For my life I can't see how
so many call themselves true Ali
ance men " and profess to understand
our situation and the drift of the
times, when they don't take and read
The Pro 9REssIvE FARMER. They GER
tainly don't get it out of the common
local papers. The masses do not read
enough, and what they do read is
foreign to our needs. But [ am glad
some are being posted as to our true
condition and are making themselves
known and felt for good. Already
the Alliance has planted in the minds,
eyes and hearts of the people, prin
ciples which time itself will never
erase. The Alliance in Catawba is a
firm, fixed factor, and it's these three
fs that scare some of our modern
Solomons and Goliahs
Our Alliance picnic here on the
Oath inst. was a grand success. Be-
tween one and two thousand people
were present. The dinner table was
nearly 200 feet long and was heaped
from end to end, and yet, many ap-
petites were not satisfied. This gives
some idea of the crowd. Mai. ". A.
Graham, of Lincoln, and Hon. A.
Leazar, of 'Iredell, gave us two fine.
aOle, pointed and patriotic speeches,
which made fine impression on the
minds of the people. If we had such
men as Graham and Leazar at the
helm of our government, it would not
be long till the cause of our depression
would be removed, and we, as a na-
ton, enjoy prosperity again. Amen.
l am drumming for your paper and
expect to send you a subscriber soon.
Wishing the Alliance, THE Pro.
GREssIvE FARMER and the country at
large, success, | am, your sister in the

RESOLUTIONS PASSED BY THE
SUTTON BRANCH ALL
ANCE, NO. 3o8, MAY
10TH, 1890.

Reso7ved, That the qualifications for
officers are: 1st, unimpeachable in
tegrity. I'd, that their industry shall
be the same as the interest of those
represented. Sd, intellectual ability.
4th, that they shall not be Office
seekers, and that these qualifications
are in Importance in the order named.
Resolved, That we, the members, of
this Alliance, will neither help to
nominate nor elect any one whom we
have good cause to believe is wanting
in the ABOVE qualifications,
ReS0tUed, That conventions, primar,
les, ETC., as now conducted, are made
to serve Office seekers, demagogues
and trading politicians, we ask that
this be changed, and that when the
primary conventions come on that all
who are voters go and see to it that
their delegates have the qualif cations
necessary for officers, for it is impos-
sible to have good men nominated
without sending good men to nomi-
nate them, men who don't sway, buy
or drive, but men who stand for right
and the interest of their constituents.
ResOlOed, That copy of these reso-
lutions be sent to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER for publication and a copy to
the County Alliance of Duplin with
request to be adopted.
Our Alliance has some true ALI
ance grit in it as there is in the State,
but l am sorry to say that we have
had some that were rather slack. We
have lost several of our mem bers by
suspension, but are recruiting up some
by receiving new members who, l
hope, will be better grit.
We have been ordering goods
through Bro. Worth, which we find
tolerably satisfactory.

LINvILLE STORE, N. @.

LINvILLE STORE, n. G.
Mr.. EDITORIALS I haven't seen
anything from our Alliance for some
time, | thought | would try and give
the brethren a few dots from this
mountain region. We are still in a
thriving condition. Our county lee
turer spoke for US last Tuesday, and
[ am sure he done much good. He
discussed the Sub Treasury bill, Ma
tional Banking system, and other mat
ters of interest to the Alliance. We
think the Sab Treasury bill oneof the
grandest moves for the farmers and
laboring class of people that has ever
been introduced. But l fear the
present Congress has not got backbone
enough to pass such bill. If they
don't, g surely they will not have the
brass to ask the people for their suf-
frage in the coming election. It does
see n to me that some of our repre-,
sentatives are unaware of what the
people want, and it seems as if they
don't care. We have got it into our
heads by some supernatural power, or
something Of the kind, that there is a
better time coming; and we know
there is if we will all press shoulder
to shoulder for the grand cause we
have undertook to accomplish.
For fear that this will find its way
to the waste basket, l will close by
saying to all who are not subscri cers
to The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, for your
sake, and for the sake of the Alliance,
do subscribe, for it is worth its weight
in gold. FraternaIly,

just now the crisis is upon us and we
need men of zeal tempered with
knOwledge-men who have backbone
and will dare to carry out their con.
victions-men who can be depended
upon. We have such men among us.
The time for political candidates is
drawing close to hand, and we may
expect every conceivable a1tifce,
tricks and chickanery to be practiced
by politicians in the primary meetings
as well as else where, to try to carry
The nominations and elections by
demagogulng the people and to some
extent they are going to be successful
because some are going to join our
order for political aggrandizement
We are going to have wolves in sleeps
clothing; we may look out for them.
Now what wish to say is, do not
trust any one who has been a poll
tician, you have no evidence that
he is friend to you only he says so.
We have been too often deceived to
listen to such bo2a.
We have plenty of men among us
who are competent to fill any Office
from president to constable, and men
who are tried and have the aims and
purposes of our order at heart and
would make sacrifices for the country
and the laboring classes of people.
Now | wish it understood that |
am not candidate for any office; [
have no political aspirations and want
no Office in the gift of the people; but
l do want to see our legislative halls
and law, making assemblies composed
of men who know how to knock clods
and men who are Interested in the
welf>re Of the people and will secure
just and equitable laws and right the
wrongs of the past. Let us have a
flexible currency and then you will
see the country prosperous and her
citizens quiet and pea ;eable. Keep
the Sub Treasury plan before the
people, educate them up to the real
condition Of the country and what we
aim to do to relieve the people of the
oppression Of the moneyed kings.
Success to The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER; may it live long and WELD

she would die of grief from weeping
over misery she would be compelled
to witness from such blessed state
of things. If we go on in this way
the darkness of despair itself will shed
its funeral pail over our offending
heads, blighting every anticipation Vt
a future in which no glimpse of a
sunrise of our final resurrection will
emerge ABOVE the horizon of blasted
hopes. We have sown. to the wind
