AS TO Mr.. U. 8. HALL.

He Has Violated a Solemn Obligation and
Proved Himself Unworthy the Confidence
of the Order.
II any one doubts that partisan pol
ttics is at the back of all those efforts
of the president of the alliance of Mis-
souri,, let it be understood that almost
every partisan paper has published his
alleged explanation, with comments as
to its effects on the alliance, looking
toward Its destruction; and also that it
has been printed in circular form and
sent broadcast all over the country.
Who is doing this? What is it being
done for? and what are the obiects9
should be the inquiry of every honest
alliance member Persecution may
succeed for time, but in the end will
always turn to destroy its inventors.
This is a case of malicious persecution
pure and simple, and in the end will
result in the triumph of truth and
Justice Economist,
"We regret that the Charleston World
has published what purports to be the
inside history of the committee that in
vested DR.. Macune at Ocala, as given
by Mr.. q. S. Hall. We regret it not
because it fairly fixes any criminality
upon DIR. Macune or will hurt the alli-
ance, because in doing as he has Mr..
Hall has violated solemn obligation,
and proves himself unworthy the con-
fdence of the order he has outraged.
DIR. Macune may have acted indiscreet-
ly; but who does not? He borrowed
money from Mr. Calhoun; but he gave
the usual collateral for the debt, 1t is
wholly false to interpret the recent
action of the national legislative coun-
Gil as in any sense reputation of Ma
cune or an Endorsement of Hall. Mr..
Hall is honor bound to advocate the
sub-treasury bill as faithfully as DIR.
Macune. and he will be compelled
to advocate its passage If his State
Alliance does not expel him for viola
ton of his obligation, or If the legisla-
tive council fails to repudiate him. One
with less ambition and more discretion
would never have accepted a position
that involved rigorous action directly
opposed to his professed views" The
above is taken from the Cotton Plant
official organ of South Carolina, whose
editorin-chief, DIR. j. w. Stokes. is the
efficient president of the State Alliance.
This article admits of but one construc-
ton. 1t goes right for the mark with
out qualification, and discloses a des;ra
to treat by direct methods that is GER
tainly commendable. 1t is an example
that the best may follow with credit

He Who Repudiates ANY Portion of the

| Repudiated by the Order,
There was never a period in the
eventful history of the alliance when
the duty of membership carried with it
a greater significance than at the pres
ent time. The alliance in its rapid

that calls for careful consideration.
backed up with fidelity and devotion to
| its principles. 1t is to this fidelity
among the common brotherhood that
the order must look for security and
defense. Wise leadership will fail
when unsupported by true and loyal
constituency, while honesty of purpose
and continuity of effort will in the end
succeed in spite of error and falsehood.
The principles of the alliance will stand
if advocated and demanded by an in
telligent, trustworthy and determined
element of the people, no matter if
every prominent member in the order
goes down, but when the rank and file.
as it is termed, fail to come up to the
full measure of their duty as members
the cause is lost and the end is near.
The alliance is now in the outer edge
of the coming storm. 1t is confronting
the wind puffs and showers which are
more annoying than injurious, but be-
fore six months has rolled by it will be
IN the very midst of the warning ele
ments where only courage and fidelity
are the means of safety. The destruc-
ton of the alliance was determined
upon Immediately after the late cleo
ton, and the preliminary details of that
decision are now being carried out In
Mississippi and Missouri Since the st.
Louis meeting, in 1889, the growth of
the alliance has been phenomenal, and
the rapidity of education among the
membership in regard to national
affalrs has been wonderful When the
politicians returned home late last
summer from the first session of con.
gress they were awe-stricken at tba
condition of affairs. he election soo,,
.ollowed, with results still more appall-
ing. Then came the maneuverino
nguring and juggling for political ex-
;stencei Schemes, plots and intrigues
0POA OOJQ S1Q6S TO rid
the political field of the alliance and its
obnoxious principles Men who had
joined the alliance and could command
any following were approached by those
conspirators against the general good.
Some had their price. like Judas; Others,
perhaps the greater number, were led
astray with promises of political prefer
ment and few no doubt through
Jealousy and resentment. These
three disintegrating factors are
now at work trying to destroy the
power, If not the very life, of the al
lance. Their methods are different
but their purposes are the same and can
be easily detected when examined by
the true test of an earnest, loyal mem
bership. The alliance can not afford
70 temPorize or compromise. They that
are not for the alliance and its demands.

A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

He Mistook the Father of His Girl for tho

A young gentleman had an engage
ment with the daughter of a prosperous
citizen to attend the theater The Young
lady suggested that they use the family
carriage, and the gallant was too polite
to decline. On the morning of the en-
gagement the young lady asked her
father to please stop in Mr.. IS Office
and inquire where he wanted the car
riage to call for him. The kindly old
gentlemen did so. He stepped in the
Office and, calling to the young man,
said:

gentleman,
"Why, amt you the collector for the

Suh-Treasnrvp plan

1t is now anything to beat the sub
treasury plan. Both the old parties are
hard at work concocting plans to divide
the alliance upon this question and
thereby eliminate it from the demands.
If this could be done, Wall street would
be satisfied and the people could be de-
ceived as they have been many times
before. There can be no deception
practiced upon the sub-treasury plan.
When a farmer cannot take his prod
ucts to warehouse and borrow monev
on it at two per cent, he knows the
plan is not working. There Is no posi-.
bic way of fooling him with the asser-
ton it is operating, but he don't UNDER
stand it. The plain fact that his bor-
rowed money costs him from seven to
twenty per cent instead of two is all
the evidence needed to convince him
that the plan is being trifed with in
some manner.-Economist.

II Is WORKING.

A number Of our citizens this morn
ing received notices through tho post
Office, from the State Beard OF
Assessors and Equalization, that their
individual assessments had baen
raisod by that body from 20 to 50 per
cent. Add to this the horizontal
raise Of 20 per cent. AZ made 10y the
Board and. it will be sesn that the
total raise OF the property in this
county will reach nearly 30 per cent
ON the valuations as fixed by the AS
SCISSOR and the County Beard Of
Equalization who are presumed to
know more about the taxable value
of the property Of the county than a
Board composed Of men who pay but
little it any taxes TO the State or
county from which they hail, and
know no more about the value Of
property in Elko county than does
George Francis Train.
But somebody must pay the neces-
sary taxes to support these man and
State and county governments, and,
as the Board, in the generosity OF
their hearts and the purity of Their
motives, reduced the amount oil taxes
that the railroad companies of the
State pay into the treasury it is very
evident that the people must make
ap tho deficiency. Our people should
make an organized effort to convincs
the Board at their meeting at the
Courthouse on Monday that these
individual raises are not warranted
aad are unjust and wholly at variance
with the value OF the property There
should also 80 AN organized resist
aace all along the line to this attempt
to make the people OF this county pay
more than their just proportion of
the expense Of tho State government.
