Critical Papers and tbs Alliance
The Charlotte Chronicle saws:
~ mas been stated that a con-
siderable portion Of the alliance
might become SO chaifed at the
criticism Of certain newspapers
as toleaye the democratic party.
The Chronicle does not know
what papers are referred to, but
the statement is a reflection on
the alliance. Any newspaper
wortny TO represent the demo
cratic party is not hostile to the
welfare Of the farmers. ANY
aliianceman who is a good DEM
ocrat, will not desert his party
because Of news paper critism of
certain tenets Of the alliance.
The democratic press of this
state Is as air and conserya-
tive as the people it represents
and IL 1t is remiss In any re-
spect to the alliance, that re-
mission is certainly d lack Of
frank and free discussion of
some impractical demands of
the alliance. The farmers need
not be afraid Of any hostility
and opposition, their organiza-
ton may provoke in North Car
DINA, but they should fear a
certain set Of men that we al
ways have with us and that al
ways keep politics more or less
corrupt. There is a full crop of
tile inen at the instance Of the
alliance. They subscribe to
everything the alliance may de-
anand. The alliance is strong
and powerful in this state and
many q demegogue is lurking
beneath It's dag.
The great good the order has
done, y 70 educate the farmer
10 a certain extent in politics,
and % give him the strength of
organization, in insisting that
ne shall be heard in govern
nent. That is absolutely all
the merit there Is in the alliance.
Ii has demanded or created
nothing new that can be grant
ed by q government by the peo-
pie. Every merit in the alliance
Is democratic, and il has been
urged by the demo ratio party
for years. The alliance may
yet create new demands for re-
form. Il has not yet done so.
Intelligent farmers, recognize
the true meaning of the alliance,
and they are not afraid Of hon

COAL FOR THE SCHOOLS.
EIynn's Contract Guaranteed by tt
Seattle COMPANY.

FIynn's Contract Guaranteed by the
Seattle Company.
The Finance Committee of the Board of
Education met last night. Directors Harvey
and Brooks in Attendance. The only sub
ject which came before them was the
question of the coal contract for the year.
At the last meeting of the board the con-
tract for furnishing the department with
COAL amounting to 800 tons. WAS awarded
TO Hugh Flynn at price of 81 d ton. A
protest to the awarding of the contract was
filed with the board by p. Lynch, stating
that there was no coal Of the kind Flynn
agreed to furnish to he had in the market
and that Flynn could not perform the terms
of his agreement. The coal Flynn agreed to
furnish is Seattle, and Lynch contended
that the mines were closed, and that at the
time Flynn put in his bid there was not a
sack to be had at any price.
The matter was referred to the Finance
Committee and last night both the success
full bidder and pr0tester were on Eand. On
examination it was found that Flynn's bond
of $1,000 WAS all right, and this was con-
sldered n sufficient guarantee that the con-
tract would be performed. though Lynch
still protested 1t WAS an Imposslblity. He
had bid ON every other quality except
Seattle, for the reason there was none of il
in the market, and thought the way the
bidding was done was piece of sharp
practice.
Director Harvey read a communication
received from the manager of the Seattle
Coal Company, in which the manager vas
willing to indorse Flynn's contract and if
necessary would furnish the entire amount
of coal needed for the year within thirty
days. On learning these facts the COM
mittee decided 10 report in favor of letta g
the contract stand.
The committee did not take up the ques-
tion of teachers salaries, which will form
the sole topic of special meeting of the
board, to be held tonight, when a definit t
course will be marked out.

Both Supposed to Have Lifted Stamps"
Collector Quinn Says He Won't Let Up
While Frauds Exist.

So far the administration of John c.
Quinn as Collector of Internal Revenue
has been one of important seizures. and the
derelict Chinese in their contraband opium
trade are not the only ones to have the hal
cyon days of their business Interrupted
Last Monday lie seized the Hayes Valley
Brewery on Grove street for stamp-lifting.
The case against it was dead" as the
lifted stamps were found in hat hidden
away in an old cupboard. Then the Col
lector expressed his determination to stop
such frauds as he was there 10 look after
the Governments interests. He said he did
nat intend to dig holes for the brewers to
fall into" and added that from what ne had
learned in several cases that would not be
necessary. He followed up this expression
with determination, and yesterday after
noon had two more breweries confiseated to
the Government.
TWO MORE BREwERIES SEIZED.
The Lyons Brewery. owned by Palmtag
& Heyers, and the New York Brewery,
owned by John Booker, both at Hay
wards, are the two concerns that have
passed without deed of sale or writ of lease
the Government. Both were seized by
Deputy Collector j. II. Borland, who
worked up the case, assisted by Deputy
Collectors w. r. Lambert and j. II. Dun
lap. The values OF the plants are about the
Same-S15,00 each--on the entire stock,
buildings and interests involved.
In speaking of the seizures last evening
Collector Quinn said: We have had affi-
davits to the effect that these breweries have
been violating the law by lifting stamps, so
| ordered the Lyons Brewery aud the New
York Brewery investigated. The case
against the latter was not so conclusive.
The deputies we're sent yesterday and last
evening I got Il dispatch that the former had
been seized.
OVER 200 LIFTED STAMPS FOUND.
"About half hour later second dispatch
announced the seizure of the New York
Brewery, as live evidence had been dis
covered. l suppose in their Investigations
they found lifted stamps or that the books
were carried on contrary to law. Anyhow,
both were seized.
I'm both cases the drivers have been de-
tected curing Off the stamps before driv-
ing the spigot into the keg. In the Lyons
Brewery about 200 lifted stamps were dis
covered. If the law in this case be enforced
it will mean five years possible imprison-
ment aud $4,000 possible fine, the latter
being at the rate OF S1c0 for each lifted
