negro exodus to Africa agitation has
reached johnson county and is upset
ting the equilibrium of our colorcd
population. There are not many ne
groes in the vicinity of Clarksvillc, but
what there are are thoroughly aroused
and the majority of them declare their
determination to depart as soon as ar
rangements can be perfected. A night
or two ago they held the largest meet
ing of colored people that ever as
sembled in Clarksvile. There were four
or FIVE speakers. One of them, Jerry
Malone by name, urged the negroes
to sell their little effects and be
ready to start at once, and on short
notice. lie said that at Pine Bluff the
negroes were treated in a respectful
manner. When drummer or other
gentleman meets colored lady on the
streets in Pine Bluff he raises his hat
and gives her the sidewalk. That should
be the case everywhere. He made many
other statements of a similar import.
They expect to go to Washington City,
and there be furnished with transpor-

A TREASURY STATEMENT.
No Trouble to Meet Maturing

No Trouble to Meet Maturing
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The 4 per
cent loan of which a little more than
$50, 900, 900 is now outstanding will ma
ture September 1 next The treasury
officials say there will be no trouble
whatever in meeting it and that it was
regarded as a matter of so little concern
that it was not thought necessary to
bring it to the attention of congress
The department stands ready now to
redeem these bonds with interest to
maturity and the small amount pre-
sented each day is taken as an indica-
ton that the holders are in no
particular hurry to dispose of them
A prominent official said that the de-
partment will be able to redeem them
all on the date of maturity if they shall
be presented, but that the history of all
government loans indicate that there Is
no possibility of such thing, and that
it will be found that large amount of
the bonds will not be presented for re-
demption for many months after the
interest has ceased to run. While the
available cash balance in the treasury
is now only about $1,000, 900, the gov
ernmcnt has about $50, 900, 600 addition
al on deposit in national banks which
can be utilized in case of necessity

The Number OF Electoral Votes Controlled

inc OF ELECTORAL Votes controlled

The interview of Col. Joe" Hickey,
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, relating to
the land loan bill introduced by Sena-
tor Stanford, is very interesting, but he
left some things unsaid and | should
like to supplement his remarks by some
of mine
Col Hickey said that the candidate of
the agricuiturists could be elected, but
he gave no figures to prove his asser-
ton. That statement of his is proven
from the official records of the popula-
ton when properly analysed.
Unfortunately, Gen. Walker, in TAX
ing the census of 1880, did not seem to
consider that anyone would ever desire
age, engaged in any particular pursuit,
resided in any of the states, so his
laundering classiications of employ-
ments give "ages from 10 to 16, "from
16 to CO." and "over CO." To arrive at
the number of males of voting age in
any class, it is necessary TO add those

Canada and the United states Fixing Up an
Agreement.
WASHINGTON, March est is stated
that it is probable that the case of the
Canadian sealer, Sayward, will not be
called for trial in the United States SUI
preme court as originally intended.
This is said to be the result of a confer
ence that recently took place in New
York between Mr.. Choate, the leading
counsel for the Canadian government,
and member of the present admins
tration. The subject was discussed
at length, it is said, and it is
understood that when the representa-
tives of the two governments parted a
way was clear to an amicable adjust
ment of the difficulty.
The attorney-general is not in posi-
ton to make any overtures in that di-
rection except under certain contingent
cies and in the meantime he proposes to
prepare for the trial. Under any cir
cumstances continuance of week or
more will be requested of the court, as
the attorney-general can not until then
obtain the necessary documents from
the Alaskan court

CENSUS OF $50.

You readily perceive that without the
vote of man not engaged il farming
or the owner of farm, the agricultur-
lists would carry twenty-fOur states
with 226 out of 42O electoral votes.
With three per cent, of the other voters,
they would also capture the electoral
votes of Illinois, Ohio and Maine, that
is fifty-one more.
1t has been said that the rural popu-
lation is decreasing and the urban in
creasing. This is true only in the
states where the farmers were in a mi
nority. There is no decrease in the
farm vote, and under the new appor-
tionment, which gives the electoral col
lege 444 members, the farmers can elect
23S out of 444.
In the twenty-four states which the
farmers control and in which they can
elect 23S electoral votes of the next coll
lege, they can also elect 175 members of
the next house of representatives, In
four years, that is, by 1895, they can
have control of the senate and, with
their president in the white house, have
six of the nine judges of the supreme
court, who believe as they do in regard
to the powers of the nation being used
for the benefit of the people instead of
for the benefit of spectators, bankers
and Wall street gamblers. s.-Ezra Nat.

Members Who Think More of Their Party
Than They Do of Their Order.
One of the principal dangers that now
threatens the Farmers Alliance is par
tisan partyism within its own ranks.
No man, even if he be an alliance mem
Der, should be elected by alliance votes
to public office, or an official position
within the alliance, unless he is loyal
to the principles and demands of the
order, as adopted and promulgated at
its national convention. AS an instance
in proof of the foregoing position, l cite
the recent action of the Missouri legis-
lature, as given in a partisan and pluto
cratic paper. clip as follows:
'"The alliance leaders have outlined
their policy in this state as fight within
the camp, instead of third party move
ment, They have stated that they
would alter the democratic party in the
state to suit the ideas of the Farmers
Alliance. This morning the alliance
fought it's fight for supremacy over the
anti-alliance ideas of the democracy on
the floor of the lower house. 1t carried
everything before it, and its action
showed just how far the alliance party
of the state Is willing to go.
''The fight came up on the matter OF
engrossing joint and concurrent reso-
luton introduced by Mr.. Hendrickson,
IL full-bearded, long-haired third-party
member from Bates county. Its cap
ton reads:
Joint and concurrent resolution, deploring
the depressed condition OF agriculturists
and business men, charging the same TO vic
ious class legislation and approving the
remedy suggested by the farmers organiza.
tions, and pledging the assembly to act in
concert with congress, enacting remedial
legislation as indicated by the delegates to
the nUtional convention OF the Farmers Alli-
ancs and Industrial Union held at Ocala,
Fla, December, 1880.
"The resolution binds the Legislature
to support everything approved by the
Ocala convention. 1t reads great deal

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Six Convlcts at Large.

JACKSON, March 23.-Seven convicts
convicts escaped last night from their
quarters at the Lunatic Asylum, where
they were engaged in making brick for
the annex to the asylum. They bored
their way out with an augur. Strange
to say, one of the number came to town
and gave information to the police. He
was arrested and a telephone message
sent TO the officer in charge at the
asylum to know il the story of tho
escape was true. The reply came back
that it was. All efforts to recapture
have so far proved futile. The follow
ing is a list of the convicts, with the
time sentenced and crime committed:
G. Talbert, sentenced for life from
Kemper County for rape; Joe Fulks,
five years sentence for burglary, from
Montgomery County; j. II. Marshall,

How TO Becope Noted.

A very significant feature of the pres
ent conflict is that whenever opposition
papers can find an alliance man who
will express opposition to the alliance
platform, they make hero OF him.
Tennessee and Mississippi papers are
lauding McAllister to the skies as the
greatest man in the alliance, because
some Tennessee paper published an in
terview where he is represented as hav-
ing said something against the SUBJ
treasury plan to the effect that it was
given up, and that the alliance would
pin its hopes on free coinage OF silver
alone. If any alliance man wants to
become hero in the opposition press
this is a simple formula; let him be In
terviewed and express just such doc
trine as that, and he will at once be-
come great man among a class OF pa
pers that are constantly advising tho
alliance to give mp its principles ano
adapt its demands to their taste Ma

Corner ON Brandy.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2s.-The
Chronicle says an attempt is being
made by a syndicate of local jobbers to
control the brandy market. The agents
of the syndicate have been journeying
throughout the wine districts and buy
ing up all the brandy in sight. In the
bonded warehouses in the state are
now stored fully 1000, 900 gallons of
brandy made since 1889, nearly one-half
of this being held by the syndicate. In
dependent purchasers viii fight the
brandy trust, and it is stated that they
will convert the large quantities of
wine now on hand into brandy.

Desperately In Earnest.

We want to put emphasis upon the
fact that the alliance movement is as
nearly a disinterested movement for
the whole people as it is possible for
any public movement to be. 1t is not
a movement to enable few men to get
into place and power. 1t is move
ment for the benefit of all the people.
Those who are not willing to pursue
our reforms for the simple sake of the
reforms themselves, and for the sake of
sthe effect these reforms will have in
purifying all the walks and avenues of
public life, are not wanted IN the move
ment at all; and the sooner such per-
sons get their baggage together and de-
camp, the better it win be for all
parties. This movement is not device
for patching up compromises. 1t is a
movement that aims at the complete
political, economical and social regen-
Grafton of the state. 1t will not stop to
haggle with rings and factions. 1t
seeks to sweep these things clean
away by means of the education and
enlightenment of all classes of the
people. Raleigh IN. C) Progressive

Plentiful as anglers are and success

tbs Kind of fishing does not alarm the
sportsman, nor does an increase in it
cause him joy, but everything which re-
lates to it is of great interest, neverthe-
less. Commercial fishing in the sea is
confined almost entirely to the off
shore banlks,' where cod, haddock and
halibut are taken, but the United
States fish commission has opened ten
thousand square miles of new fishing
grounds, by discoveries made with tho
beam trawl The commission aver that
great shelf in the Atlantic, from the
"banks" to Virginia, swarm with fishes
unknown to our market, simply because
no suitable method has heretofore been
applied to their capture. The importa-
about change in this respect The
lemon sole highly priced in European
markets, have been almost unknown in
our markets, although the commission
has demonstrated that they were to be
had off our coast for the catching. One
of the first schooners to try the beam
trawl caught in the trawl over ten tons
of lemon sole and threw them over
hoard not kO0winp that thew yVera

sand more, which the captain brought
in and sold. It is estimated that this
schooner caught two hundred and forty.
tons of fish with the beam trawl in a
few days. The catches were so great
that it was with the utmost difficulty
that the trawl was handled. This is a
brief statement as slight index of the
work that is constantly being done by
