ing we had a good talk delivered by
our Lecturer, Bro. VIM. Hunter. We
have saved money by doing our trad
ing at the farmers trade house in
Winston. The people of this country
have been somewhat discouraged at
the last Congress. But since the last
election We feel somewhat relieved to
think tee Alliance has elected so
many Alliancemen to the legislature,
not only in North Carolina, but in so
many other States. The Alliance, or
laboring class of people of this country,
will watch the legislature of North
Carolina and also the next Congress
very closely. The axe is now laid at
the root of the tree. Every branch
that does not bring forth good fruit
will surely be he wn down in 1892.
Yours respectfully,

WHEREAS, Many of the political

Resolved, That we take pleasure in
denouncing all such, that they are no
greater nor less than the working
tools of Wall street, whose workings
are as black as outer darkness.
ResOlved, That we will not support,
o allow to be read in our families
any of the papers of such character.
ReSolVed, That we believe Col. Polk
has done more to harmonic the war
prejudice than any man or set of men,
and should be praised by every ALI

RESOLVED, That the salvation of the
Farmers Alliance depends upon the
passage of the Sub Treasury bill or
some better bill; and that we demand
of our Senators and Representatives,
who assemble in Raleigh in January,
not to vote for any man for United

that their proceedings will be watched
with the closest scrutiny, and woe be

the course of The PROGRESSIVE

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
A CHILEAN SHIP STEAMS INTO
SAN DIEGO.
A Schooner Laden With Rifles for the In
surgents Lying off ffCatalina-The Latest
News Direct from Chile.

SAN DIEGO, May 3.-The Chilean
passenger steamer Etata, Captain Man
sen, put into this port this afternoon,
for provisions and possibly for coal.
The Etata halls from Iquique, and car
ries, besides full complement OF mer-
chandise, a large number of passengers
said to be for San Francisco. She is the
first Chilean steamer and the largest
passenger boat that ever entered this
harbor.
Captain Mansen was interviewed this
evening in regard to the objects of land
ing here, and gave as reason that he
was short of supplies and could go no
further without replenishing the ships
stores.
The fact that schooner is now living
off Catalina island with cargo of rifles
for the Chilean insurgents, and await
ing transport to carry them down, has
started the story that this vessel came
after them; but the captain says
the steamer is simply merchant
man owned by Grace & Company,
of New York, and comes here by their
orders. She intends to sail from here to
San Francisco, and then to Vancouver,
where she will go on the dry dock for
repairs. After taking on coal at Ma
nimo she will return to Chile.
Inquiry at the custom house disclosed
the fact that the Etata is legally entered
here. and that her clearance papers are
regular and in good shape.

CALLAo, May SIT is stated that the
government forces at Calamel Yrevelted,
and that the officers fled towards Boli-
via.
The English. steamer Puno arrived
here this morning. When she left Val
paraiso, March 2lst, the rebels occupied
Antofagosta. 1t is presumed Colonel
Camus with his forces marched towards
africa. Wherever these men may be,
however, they are in a precarious posi-
tion, having no means of transportation
and being without water and provisions.
Valparaiso has been converted into a
castle. Many of the guns captured in
Callao during the last war have been
mounted.
Three companies of the Quillota regi-
ment revolted at Quillota. The revolt
was suppressed and the leaders shot.
After the fight at'Pozo ,Almonte the
victors became disorderly and sacked
the town. Women and girls were abused
and some murdered. Once fired with
drink, rapine and rioting commenced
among the men, and soon the torch was
applied and three blocks were DESTROYED.
Laborers from the nitrate fields took
part in the work of destruction. and
eagerly seized the rifles and cartridges of
the soldiers who fell. The soldiers
found themselves unable to exercise the
least authority over the men.

SAN Francisco, May 3.-President
Harrison obtained much-needed rest to-
day. In the morning he attended the
First Congregational church. The rest
of the day he remained in his rooms.
This evening he crossed over to Oak
land, where his train was waiting, and
shortly after midnight started for Port
land, Oregon.
At the, close of his visit in this city,
today, President Harrison furnished the
following to the Associated Press for
publication:
desire for myself and for the ladies
of our party to give expression of our
thanks for many individual acts of
courtesy which, but for the pressure
upon our time, would have been spe-
cially acknowledged. The friends who
have been so kind will not, I am
sure, impute to us any lack
OF appreciation or intended neglect.
The very excess of kindness has
made any adequate. and much more,
any particular return, impossible. You
will all believe that there has been no
purposed neglect of any locality or indi-
vidual. We leave you with all good
wishes for the state of California, and
her people.

IMPORTED LABOR.
The Coke Region Being Filled With Ne

PIrTsBURG, May 3.-The expected
sensation of the week is the promised
importation of 1000 workmen, mostly
negroes and Italians. The operators
have little to say, except that they must
run their plants somehow, while
the citizens generally are indignant
that skilled labor seems about to
be driven from the field by this
threatened invasion of by no means de-
sirable laborers. Some 600 evictions
will be made this week, in order to make
room for the new men coming into the
regions tonight. Rev. Father Lamb
ing, power among the Catholics of the
region, severely denounces the labor
leaders and Socialists, and advises that

 And how many do you think they have to count. One in ten? Not one in five hundred!.
 Here are two remedies-one the "Gol- den Medical Discovery" for regulating and Invigorating the liver and purifying the blood; the other, the hope of weak ly womahood; they've been sold for years, sold by the million bottles; sold under positive guarantee, and not one in five hundred can say: ''It was not the medicine for mel" And-is there any reason why you should be the one And-supposing you are, what do you lose?
