here. Behold Grover comes, and then
comes frankie, and then comes the
baby with a silver spoon holder full of
silver spoons and appeals to the peas
antry of America to set them up again,
and will the peasantry of America
prove less loyal than the peasantry of
Hungary? Shame, where is thy blush?
Some say David B. Hill was Grover
Cleveland's opponent for the Presi-
denCy-this same David B. Hill who
had such a colo he could not define
how he stood on the silver question.
Well, after Grover presided with mat
rOnly dignity at some big gathering in
New York, Hill jumps in his carriage,
goes up to C~leveland's mansion and
kisses the baby. Hill is an old bach

WhOsOever shall resist this powerful
argument and hardens his heart and
stiffens his neck, let him be counted
out.
Mr.. Editor, the Alliance is the hard
est case in politics. They do not care
a cent who kisses the baby; for they
are fools enough to think their babies
are as good as any One else's. The
aristOcrats, the ]plutOcratic wOrshippers,
and the self-assumed nobility find I'M
alterable enemies in this wicked ALI
ance. It's a cat O. nine tails. 1t puts
me in the mind of Joe JOhnsOn's cat.
He had an old cat which had been
killed often, he supposed, but every
time she rose and come again. The
last time he killed her and threw her
over in a briar patch, dead this time
for certain. Next day towards even
ing she came dragging up. We've
tried SANDER to kill the Alliance; next
we tried traitors and we thought we
had them dead two or three times, but
it was no go. Now we r going to
try sugar and baby kissing. Oh, we
are great friends to the poor peasantry
of the country, and we would be so
proud of you if you would stand by us
like the peasantry of Hungary did the
Queen of Austria. SAM HANKER.

FALLING CREEK ALLIANCE
SPEAKS OUT.

MCCLAMMY, n. G.
Mr.. EDITOR:-The following reSOlu-
tiOns were adopted by Falling Creek
Alliance. We realize the fact thai the
Alliance movement is one of the
grandest and most ennObling cOnfeder-
atoms ever formed in the interest of
the farming and labOring classes of the
American people, and It's principles
are the broadcast and most Christian
like of any similar organization. In
the leaders of this grand organization
we have men at the helm who are the
peer of any men in America today.
Brethren, these men can be neither
bought nor cOerced into measures that
tend to retrOgrade and reflect infamY
and crime upon the portals of our
grand Order. Therefore, ~perCeiving,
as we do, that the partisan press of the
country, both Demo cratic and Repub-
lican alike (many of them) have de-
parted from an honest and truthful
course of healthy journalism to that of
infamous lying and slanderous publ
cations of truer and better men than
they themselves are, to the end that
they may damage ON aus They
have by concert OF action among them
selves designedly published to the world
statements regarding our National
President, Col. L. l.. Polk, and DR.. g..
w. Macune, that were known to them
at and before such publications to be
false. Therefore bp 1t
ResOlred, By Falling Creek Alliance,
hal we do enter our full condemnation
upon such papers as the Durham
Globe, Raleigh NelCS and Observer,
Wilmington Messenger, Goldsboro Ar
Gus and all papers hat in future shall
publish known and villainOus misrep-
reservations of the Farmers Alliance
or its leaders.
2nd. That we hereby withdraw our
patronage from such unworthy sources
of information and ask all justice low
ing citizens to JOIN us in the same.
And tits further understood and agreed
that in Col. L. L. Polk and DR.. G.. w.
Macune we have true and patriotic
men, free from the vile charges pub
lished against them.
3rd. That as North CarOlinians we
should feel proud of our national
standard bearer, uphold his hands and
bid him Goa speed in his noble effort
O wipe out all sectional feelings be-
tween the States.
Respectfully submitted.

BABY

Mr.. EDITOR:-The moor sang for Joy,
the stars twinkled with delight and
heaven glistened with a show of spark
ling laughter on that most important
event in the history of our country
when for the first time little Ruth
Cleveland's little RuLh-OpPned her
eyes upon the light of this ball of dirt.
Cleveland has got a baby. Ten thou
sand babies were born on the Samed day,
but we do not think them worthy of
mention in polite literature. This is
an z of wOnder-an age of glOry-an
age of nobility. 1t makes quite a diff
ference whose baby. Once in the
hanger a baby was born and no silver
spoon holder filled with silver spoons
were presented to it, but we may ask
with reVerential awe what has that to
do with little Ruth's silver spoons pre-
sented on the day of her nativity.
Grover i a lucky man. Elected as
President an old bachelor. Scarce
two years had he held the honor when
frankie Folsom was led to the bridal
altar-a young beautiful school girl
with 500, 900, so they say, jingling in
her pocket. For this notable event in
the history of our glorious country
Grover should have been elected Prnsi-
dent again But a hard hearted and
barbarOus people defeated him. So he
took Frankie's 5000, 900 and joined with
some bankers III New York and went
into the practice of law and got $50. 600
in one case, so they say. At the sam.
time Frankie's sister was teaching at
Elmira, in New York State, with $780,
900 in her pocket, we may suppose. All
these important transactions render
Grover much praise and should ! it
him high in the esteem of every think
ing man. If Grover and frankie be
voted down, what are you going to do
with the baby2
1t WAS since the summers sun set
with the days and the nights nearly
equal, Grover wrote his famous letter
and all through the land the cry was
a that Growers dough was cooked
and 1t was totally absurd to talk about
hlm running for President, but since
little Ruth has been born all the bav
horses are SWaglng their backs for our
glorious Grover to ride home to the
White House again.

advocate the free coinage of silver;
we have seen them proclaim themselves

MONEY MUST BE RAISED.
The Encampment Fund Is Still Short, but the

Captain Curtis was asked yesterday by q
Journal reporter as to the progress that
was being made in the proposed military

made reports of the work done by them in
the way of soliciting funds to pay the
prizes. Some of them have covered their
territory thoroughly and show good results.
A few have done nothing. but it is to be
hoped that before the week ends the entire
amount will be subscribed. At this time
sufficient funds have not been raised, al
though the reports show that IL interests
which are directly benefited and have not
been heard from. donate as they should,

q question to what the affair will be
worth to business and to the city In gen.

derived Will be great yet there is

ual gets off as easily as possible"
should not the encampment be looked
upon from n broader stand pointp

A BLUNDER OF LEGISLATORS.
They Try to Amend the Mechanics Lien Law
but Avoid the Main Point They Sought.

Albert Greeley. of Muncie, is q man of
nerve. He recently sought to grasp the
intricacies of the mechanics lien law as
declared by the late Legislature and after
spending some days in hopeless entangle-
ment appealed to the Attorney general to
help him out. That official wrote him yes
serdsy that the law is precisely the same
ssit was at the close of the legislative
session of 1889, namely. that lumbermen or
material men acquire lien upon property
by giving the usual notice required by
statute. The last Legislature attempted to
repeal a section of the law, but succeeded
only In repeating repeating section of the
act of 1885. and as the amendment contained
no provision for reviviDg any part of
the section In question. it amounted
to nothing ut all. A further effort was
made during the late session to repeal an
other section. but the statesman who intro
duced the bill got things mixed and named
q section which never had existed. The
Legislature passed his bill, but it had no
effect. owing to the mistake. aud the law
stands precisely as it did before the General
Assembly began tinkering with it

Pertinent Questions to the Mayor.

Yesterday. while Hanway & Lancaster's
force were at work grading for the Broad
Ripple road on Central avenue. above Fiji
teenth street. o number of gravel-teams
appeared upon the scene and began dump
ing gravel on the avenue ahead of them.
The foreman said they were in the employ
of the turnpike company that owned the
road. The stock of this turnpike company
is owned by the Citizens Street-railroad
Company, but it has been voted q free
aravel-road and bonds for it issued. These
bonds, however, have never been taken up.
and it is evident that the turnpike compa-
ny will contest It's right to the road. An
other point may enter into the case: Gen.
eral ordinance. No. s. recently passed by the
Council. takes two squares of this road into
the city, but this ordinance has not been
yet reported to the Council as signed by
the Mayor. It was the only one left out in
the list sent back by his Honor at the last
meeting. The question now arises. why
did Mayor Sullivan sign general ordinance
No. 9. the Broad Ripple franchise. before
he signed No. 8, the boundary ordinance?
Considered in connection with the warm
in interest he displayed in pushing the Broad
Ripple franchise through. the question be-
comes pertinent.
