quences so terrible? Do they want to
play into the hands OF the political
marplots and malignants OF New Eng
land? Have they not been told by rep
resentative Alliance leaders Of high
character and standing that the very
men in the order who are engineering
this ubiquitous and scourge-breeding
heresy are nothing but the paid emissa-
ries OF the Republican campaign com
mittee? Do they not know that the
overthrow OF the Democratic party in
the South, Il that were possible, would
be the breaking down OF the only bar
rier between this land and the greedy
despoilers and reckless myrmidons Of
the bloody-shirt party: II they do not
know it, il is high time that they were
learning it. Ii Is also high time that
the Democratic leaders OF Texas who
have been so apathetic of late should
grid on their armor and swing their
glittering claymores over the head Of
the ugly sub-treasury dragon that IS
devastating the state while they sleep.
Wake up, gentlemen. and tell the peo-
pie, who are eager to learn, something
about the fearful consequences OF any

couragement from the Republican cam
paign committee. In view OF the Pc
culiar and unfriendly attitude OF the
Republican party towards the South,
there appeared to be no other
hypothesis on which TO account
for the course OF those Alliance
leaders who sought to override
the fundamental law OF their order
in the effort to establish third party,
and if possible divide the South. In
trinsic evidence of a still more convinc-
ing character appeared to strengthen
and confirm the hypothesis.
Now comes the St. Louis Globe
Democrat with an able editorial striy-
ing to convince Republican leaders Of
the folly ofaiding the Southern ALI
ance. 1t takes the ground that the
whole thing is waste Of effort. because
the Alliance people Of the South are
Democrats first. and Alliance next, and
that when the tug Of war comes, they
viii be found voting the Democratic
ticket. The CD. is doubtless correct;
but unless the attention which it de-
votes 70 enlightening the leaders OF its
party is also waste OF effort, it is
based on the fact that conspiracy of
the kind indicated does exist, and that
the third party leaders in the South
are deriving their Inspiration and sup
port from the Republican party. The
fact that the Globe considers the mat
ter worthy of a leading editorial, is OF
itself an additional link in the chain of
proof that fastens the brand and stigma
OF corruption and treason on the
wretches who would betray the South to
the malignants who fathered the force
bill.

4 BIG ROW AHEAD.

\ very significant and unlock editor
action was the outcome Of 4 big Ali
ance meeting in Gibson county, Tenn.
The meeting was held TO obtain the
sense Of the Alliance upon the question
OF changing the convict lease law, and
instructing the representative from
that county how to vote in the coming
special session when the proposed
change comes up. y very large at
tendance was had. more than a thOus-
and Alliance members and citizens be-
ing present. The convict law was fully
discussed, and when the question was
put there were only two votes for a
change in the law. By an almost uuan-
imou, vote the representative Of that
county was instructed TO sustain the
law for the leasing OF conyicts.
Such action, if it indicates the pre-
vaiIing feeling Of the Alliance through
ont the state. is more than significant
1t shows among the farmers a want Of
sympathy for the other labor organize
tions that are brought in competition
with convict labor. 1t shows also the
impossibility Of combining in the Peo-
pies party the antagonistic elements Of
the Farmers Alliance and the secret
labor organizations. Here, upon the
first question to come up, their inter-
ests divide them. The farmers are not
willing to be taxed to support the con-
victs in idlcness. The other labor or
carnations would rather be taxed TO
support them in idleness than have
wages reduced by being brought in
competition with cheap convict labor.
If similar instructions are given by
other Farmers Alliances in Tennessee
and the farmers outside the Alliance
who stand with them on this question,
no change will be made in the convict
law. The only outcome of the special
session of the legislature will be to
make a breach between the Farmers
Alliance wing aud the labor wing of
the Peoples party, and knock out Of
that ambitious party the little life that

There is movement on foot in Texas.

state, engineered by the chief conspir-
ators Of the sub-treasury abomination.
and designed to capture the Demo-
cratic party at the primaries if posi-
bic; if not possible. or the attempt
proves failure, then to eliminate in a
third party. The leaders Of this new
movement are displaying extraordinary
vigor and energy in eVangelizing and
organizing the rural districts, and
ranging the farmers under the sub
treasury banner. The increased taxes
and unbridled extravaganza OF the bill
lion-dollar congress, coupled with the
hard times, furnish them with power
full arguments wherewith to assail the
popular ear, open to anything plausible
OF specious that contains the promised
relief. That this movement is the
most formidable and dangerous that
has menaced the Solid South since re-
construction, is hardly any longer q
matter Of doubt. The evidences OF it
are multiplying daily, although they
may not aaunt themselves in the pub
lie eye.
The full significance of this move
ment, if it shall succeed. will not stop
with the displacement of the Demo
cratic party and the substitution OF a
batch of political denominations for the
time-honored principles OF Democracy.

GOVERNOR H0GG AND THE ALIEN

message ard that he thinks the Alliance

Dr.. Nacuue has not built for himself
so solid reputation for uuthfulness as
10 settle a question by his mere asser-
ton. 1t Is not true that Governor Uogg
recommended the alien land law in his
first message or any other message.
What Governor Hogg said WAS this:
The demand for the enactment of a
law that will prohibit the further oper-
ton Of land corporations, and requiring
those now holding the possession or
title Of lands to dispose Of the same
within such reasonable time as will not
impair vested rights, Is both wise ana
reasonable" II is landed corporations

domestic or alien corporations. Instead.
however. Of being guided by the gov
ernor's recommendations in this re-
spect, and curtailing the power of cor
porations to hold land, the legislature
took the other direction and extended
this power by charging the scope of
their landholding capacity
But neither this nor that has any
thing to do with the present movement
against the alien land law. 1t is not
the forbidding of aliens TO hold land in
perpetuity that is objected to. That is
wise and beneticent provision of the
law. which the people Of Texas will up
hold. That which they object 10 is the
exclusion OF foreign money from the
state by the clause OF the law denying
foreign loan companies the right to
take under foreclosure lands on which
money has been loaned. Repeal or
modify this part of the law. so that the
people Of the state may continue to en-
Joy the benefits OF cheap foreign money.
