Tories the appointment OF renegade Lib
eral like Mr. GoscHEN to the post Of leader
would have been gall and NORWOOD, while
that OF Mr.. BALFoUR, q relation OF Lord
SALISBURY. would make the Cabinet seem
too much like family affair.
There was nobody left but Lord RANDOLPH
CHURCHILL, and he. after his speech de-
nounclng the PARNEII Commission, was
supposed to be politically dead. 1t did not
follow, however, because in the division fol-
lowing that remarkable outburst only two
or three Unlonists followed Lord RANDOLPH
into the lobby, that he did not have the
secret sympathy Of many Tories angered
at the folly which had eliminated in the
PIGoTT hasco. It is. moreover, ac-
knowledged, even by his enemies, that
Lord RANDOLPH never speaks to empty
benches, and that when he led the House OF
Commons the Conservatives never were
caught mapping. Besides, he is the idol OF
the ry-Democrats, and that Is fact which
can no longer be lost sight OF, now that
general election Is drawing near. That
such q man, whatever may be his de-
fects, is, upon the whole fitted to In
fuse vitality into the Tory ranks, and
restore in some degree the discipline in
which they have been lately lacking, must
seem clear to outsiders, and we incline to
put faith in the rumor that Lord HART1Na-
TON has advised his reinstatement In the
place OF leader Of the House. His appear
ance in this role will shock the London
Times and STANDARD, both Of which newspa-
pers have pronounced funeral orations over
this buoyant politician.
Obnoxious also on two grounds to Mr..
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN will be the resurrec-
tion OF Lord RANDOLPH CHURCHILL. The
latter is the only man who can seriously en-
danger the ex-Radical's supremacy In Blr-
mingham. Then, again. the fact that Lord
RANDoLPn's resuscitation is due to Lord
HARRINGTON, indicates that the Wing chief
pays no heed to Mr.. CHAMBER1AIN's feel
ings and interests. But IL the member for
West Birmingham cannot count upon good
will and Difference even from the dissident
Liberals, his outlook is dark indeed.

The Farmers Alliance IL proceeding to
show thatitis the Democratic party, or that
the Democratic party Is 1t, In other States
than in Georgia. Not content with nominate
Ing candidates for Governor, 1t has begun to
nominate candidates for Congress. The main
requisite In q Farmers Alliance candidate
seems to be that he must be q farmer in the
Alliance. His competitors may be politicians
OF long experience in public life, lawyers
learned in the law and the Constitution, and
men Of high talent and character, but they
must go down before the Alliance man. The
Alliance thinks about as much OF lawyers as
JACK CADE thought; but OF course In these
more polished and peaceful times the severe
punishments inflicted upon the law men by
the agrarlsn agitators Of 600 years ago have
been modified. The Alliance merely pun
ishes the legal profession by making men,
bers OF it incapable Of holding Office
There was O Democratic Convention held
at Greensborough the other day to select q
candidate for Congress from the Fifth North
Carolina district. Two-thirds OF the dele
gates we're Alliance men. The ablest candi-
date was unfortunately lawyer. He was
obliged to withdraw before the Conven-
ton began. He knew he had no chance. A
politician, less wise, allowed his name to go
before the Convention, and was beaten two
to one. Uncle BALDY WILLIAMS farmer
and member OF the Alliance, was nominated
amid stamping Of boots and waving OF hats,
and the hayseed foated like halo around
Uncle BALDY's head. AS tho orator who
made the nominating speech said, the Con-
ventlon was not composed OF lawyers, mer-
chants, and doctors. 1t was not composed
OF Democrats, he might have added. 1t was
n Farmers Alliance Convention, and it
named a Farmers Alliance candidate.
The North Carolina farmers are joyful
and arc moving on to new victories. OF
course they will continue to insist that their
candidates shall be farmers. Perhaps they
will go further, and insist, as some OF their
brethren in Kansas do, that nobody who has
ever held or sought to hold Office shall be an
Alliance candidate. A pure and peculiar
breed Of statesmen will be the result. II the
Farmers Alliance is as powerful at the polls
as it is in conventions and on paper, the
in rural talent. The Wage Workers Asso-
citation. that mysterious and, perhaps myth
ical body, to which has been given the credit
Of so many crank bills during the present
session, will be surpassed and superseded.
Agricultural socialism will be the talk Of
the day. Class legislation will flourish.
We advise JEREMIAH RUsK to sort out
his seeds carefully and put his specialists
into overalls. The Alliance is coming.

CH4IRMAN BELDEwS CIRCULAR.
The Reaponse from Republican Editors In

SYRACUSE, July 1.-THE circular OF Con-
gresham Belden to editors regarding the
Federal Election low has stirred up q hornets
nest in political circles here The journal to-
sight heads its editorial column with the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Congressman Belden went step too far In
his presumption Of the right to instruct the
editors OF the country in their treatment OF
public questions. Protests against this kind
line"
The Erenino Herald tonight. in commenting
on the circular, says:
We trust that tho Senate will lay aside the
Lodge bill. as we arc convinced that its enact
ment would he q serious blow to the pros
perity OF the South and that any advantage
the Republican party gained by 1t would be

Congressman Belden Is still on the st. Law
