WHAT DOES 1T MEAN ?"

FINDER the above caption the
u Nashville Argonaut refers to a
communication in the last issue of
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER which was
written by Mr.. Wiley Robbins, Chair
man of the Republican Executive
Committee of Nash county. The Ar
gOnaut says:
among other thing, that we will
take especial pleasure in referring to
in our next issue, we find this inter.
esting assertion: Il am a Republican
and have been for twenty years. |
have been claiming the same princi-
piles that the Farmers Alliance is
founded on We we're surprised, as
we did not know that the Farmers
Alliance had been founded on the
same principles as the Republican
r>rty, and therefore looked for an in
nIgnant denial from the publisher, out
We're disappointed.
In another part of this paper we
find 'Old Fogy,' whom we all know
IS the nom de plume of Col. Folks pri-
vate secretary, INDUCING in his usu Al
abuse Of ex President Cleveland and
his administration. We have no com
ments to make tnis week. We mere
ly ask the Democrats of North Caro-
lima, whether farmers or not, to
watch the course of affairs very
closely"
Well, what are you going to do
about it, Mr.. Argonaut ? What dos
1t mean? The 4rgonaut is disappointed
because The PROGRESSIVE FARMER did
not make an indignant denial " as to
what Bro. Robbins wrote. To make
a long story short, The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER is not responsible for the
views Of Bro. Robbins and Bro.
"Fogy." This paper would not
knowingly admit anything to its col
dmns damaging to the people and the
cause it represents But it would
have been a small thing indeed to
have refused Bro. Robbins the priv
lege of saying in a letter that he has
been a Republican for twenty years
and had been claiming the same prin-
c:ples that the Farmers Alliance is
founded on" The PROGRESSIVE FAR
MER would give space for the editor
of the ArgonaWt to say the same thing
through its columns as a Democrat,
and would allow any other citizen of
Nash county to do the same, especial
ly if he had been assaulted as had Bro.
Robbins by a newspaper. A majority
of the white Republicans in this State
belong to the Alliance and are strong
supporters of this paper, and as such
have the same right in its columns a.
our Democratic brethren.
We will put it in another light.
The writer of this is a Democrat, and
though ne has not been old enough to
vote either way long, yet he can claim
to be as thoroughly imbued with the
principles of Democracy as is Bro.
Robbins with Republicanism, because
he was raised that way. Well, the
writer has, as a Democrat, "5.en
claiming the same principles that the Al
lance IS founded upon" Now what
are you going to do about it? Aside
from the high tariff ideas of the Re.

IDAHO TEST OATH DECISION.

The denial by the United States supreme
court of the writ of hdbeds corpus petitioned
for by SAMUEL G.. DAVIS, of Oneida county
Idaho, we don't hesitate to say is grievous
disappointment. The HERALD confesses
thatit never for minute thought it prof.
able that the writ would be refused. The
petitioner had been a member of the Nor
mon church in Idaho, but had never been a
polygamist and no charge was brought
against him that he had ever violated any
law; on the contrary he was a man of good
repute in the community. The territorial
statute-the notorious test oath law-dis-
franchised all members of the Mormon
church, denying to every man who did not
take the oath that he did not be-
long TO the organization named, the
right to vote or hold Office. As we
understand it, during the political
campaign of 1888, previous to the registra-
ton for the November election, Mr. DAVIS.
with others, withdrew from the church,
signifying their withdrawal by notice in
writing to the bishops of their respective
wards, their names being stricken from
the church books. Having done this, their
severance from the church being as COM
plete as it was possible to make it, num-
Der of these men went before these regis
trars, subscribed the oath, swearing that
they were not members of the church, and
afterwards some of them voted, as they
believed they had right to do. Sixty or
more indictments were found against these
parties ia Oneida county alone, charging
conspiracy and perjury, DAVIS being
among the number. All the others were
acquitted, but he was convicted and sen
fenced 10 imprisonment and to pay fine,
his, manifestly, being made test case. 1t
was Immediately taken TO the United States
supreme court, for the purpose of getting
an opinion on the question of the constitu-
.ionality of the test oath law. The case
was argued several weeks ago, and the de-
cision was given yesterday, as reported in
our Geographic columns this morning. The
decision is averse to DAVIS, sustaining the |
territorial law and absolutely depriving |
Mormons of citizenship in our neighboring |
territory. Of course the supreme court /
having decided, there is an end to contro |
yersy, and the finding must be accepted as |

WILL GET THERE!

1t does one good to note the earnestness
with which the members of the PEOPLES
party are moving through this campaign,
and it is simply grand to observe the union
and solidity in the ranks. Before the ticket
was made up there was general coming
together for the common cause. and no
sooner were the nominations made than the
party presented a solid front to the enemy.
The ticket was received by the
rank and file in the same en-
thuslastic manner which characterized
its formation man by man in the conven
tion. 1t brought forth spontaneous out
burst of applause, and as the days have
passed since the enthusiasm has increased.
No word of criticism has been heard, and
every nominee has been received by the
masses as the very best selection that
could have been made Never before was
the popular judgment in such perfect har-
nlony with the opinion of the nominating
convention, and never before was the Peo-
pies party SO closely united as now The
organization is absolutely without fac
tons; even the struggling kicker who
has always in the past been more or
less prominent. has not appeared in
his usual role on this occasion,
but is working enthusiastically and
shoulder to shoulder with all the true men
in the ranks. Whatever may be the out
come of the election, Scratches will be
practically unknown on the Peoples
ticket When it comes to counting the bal
lots it will be found that the Peoples vot-
ing has been as straight as the ticket is
clean.
And the determination il the mind of
every Peoples party man is also notewor-
thy. All are full of supreme confidence
that we are going to win. There is not
member of the party who does not know
that the ticket will be elected unless there
shall be some unblushing and out
rageous frauds. All know that the |
majority of the legal voters are |
heartily in sympathy with the Peoples |
ticket and the cause represented by that |
ticket, and all know that if the votes shall |

we are going to do next Monday.
