At Fountain Head, Tenn, Miss

to death last Friday. Her clothes
caught fire, and before assistance could
come to her she was so badly burned
that she lived but a few hours.
At Pulaski last Friday afternoon tho
jury in the Galley Lane murder case
returned verdict of voluntary man
slaughter with two years penalty. This
was the minimum penalty for the least
offense of which the jury could convict
under the circumstances. There was
the strongest desire to see him acquitted
because he killed Pack for making inn
proper proposals to his wife. The de-
Tense was rested wholly on the appeal
to "the higher Iaw"-the right of every
man to protect his own fireside. I'm

stringent charges the jury would have
straightway acquitted the defendant.

this method, If the Editor Will allow, OF
keeping them posted.
In the beginning / must say that

From there we took the Missouri, Kan

now domiciled in the pleasant home OF
DIR. T. M. Sowell, former Maury
Countain, and blythe way is the only one
we have yet met from Many, except
Gordon Sowell, who is doing prosper
Gus lumber business at Mertens. The
Dr.'s family Is firmly welded to Texas,
and expect to live and die here. There
are great many I'm this town from our
native state, and a lady remarked tO-uay
that she thought there were more peo-
pie in Texas from Tennessee than from
any other state. livery much believe II
is true.
This section through here is the pref
tiest we have seen. 1t is just sufficient
ly diversified to make it interesting,
,and surely there must be no finer farm
ing country under the sun. Now 1t Is
almost one vast cotton field, with here
and there yellow patch of corn, ready
to be garnered. Cotton picking has
been goI ng on for several weeks; labor
ers can get Just as much work as they
want, but the price is necessarily very
low, on account of the low price OF
cotton.
This part of the country is a perfect
network of railroads, and every station
a business little town; but no wonder,
when there is such fine country for
foundation.
The gentlemen of our party went up to
Waxahatchie one day and were hospi-
tably entertained by Mr.. Rufus Irvine

not fair to presume that these Presi-
dents and Editors, who are well paid
for keeping up with the procession,
are better posted than those who are
not making business of it? Is it
not barely possible that these gentle
men of the rank and file belong to
something, they know not what,
whose trend <hey know not where?
Let's suppose the organ and the
Presidents do know what they are
talking about, aud under this sup
position, let's analize the foregoing
quotations.
1--WE are the Democratic party"
That means that those who are out
side the Alliance are not inside the
Democratic party.
1--WE have only to stand firm and
WE will control the Democratic
party"
That means that there are some on
the outside who will attempt to inter
fere, but they have no organization
like "ours." ave" will have our
secret meetings, where we will make
our demands and endorse our candi-
dates, and if the minority will submit
to the majority, we can so reduce the
strength of those on the outside, with
whom the minority would like to
affiliate, that, with the help OF our
minority, we can control the entire
Democratic party. %f
"There is no difference between a
Democratic AIlianceman and a Re-
publican Alliancemen."
That means that at our secret meet
ings when we are making our pOliti-
cal demands upon political parties,
Republicans may join in with few
Democrats and compel majority OF
the Democrats to support some man
or measure entirely foreign to
their principles. Even If it should
develop that Mugwumps and Re-
publicans in our noble order
were combining to force OBJ
| iectiOnable. men and measures upon
the Democratic party just for the sake
Of handicaping the Democratic party,
stiIl our Presidents, both State and
National, and our Governor, say the
minority must acquiesce," and 1--WE
must stand firm and we will control
the Democratic party"
"Yes, it IL political"
That means that we intend to shape
the policies of the government, State
and National. We intend to make
demands upon political parties, to
make platforms by endorsing other
platforms; not to "nominate" but to
| endorse" candidates for offices, and
by standing firm and presenting a
solid phalanx to force their nomina-
lions upon the party we think we can
best win with. This will ali be done
behind closed doors, in secret cham
bers, where Republicans and Demo
Gratis, MugWumps aud Devils, all vote
in the same box. In this way We viii
first control the minority, then our
solid phalanx will control the
country. We are an oath-bound,
secret, political organization. Their
miles our strength. The minority is
like wax In our hands; and when we
have shaped them TO our liking, we
will come forth in the majesty of
strength and there be none SO power
full to resist US.
Thus argue the Presidents and their
organ. Is it not time the Alliance
was turning the politicians out, or
that the Democrats and Republicans
should withdraw and leave the Third
Party men to themselves?
