Nh Dana, of the New York Sun, does not
think much Of the Farmers Alliance He de-
clares it to be "a socialistic organization seek
ing 10 establish an aristocracy of farmers en-
dowed with privileges which nobody else will
have. 1t seeks special privileges for a class,
and the methods by which it proposes to at
tain these ends are as socialistic as the ends
themselves" This is plain talk and not
greatly calculated 10 make the paper which
shines for all popular with the agricultursts
Of the country. II may also be remarked that
the Sun is a Protection journal.
ONE of the most obtrusive Of recent instances
Of individual concet and self-suificiency is
that furnished by George W. Cable, the nov-
elist who took advantage Of the late uprising
In New Orleans 20 make very violent attack
upon the people Of that city. As a southern
renegade, who has for a number of years de
voted an important part of his time to SLAM
dering the people among whom he was born.
II Is not likely that his denunciations will
make any impression beyond deepening the
contempt IN which he is already held in this
section Of the Union.
CHARLES A. DANA, who Is making tour of
the South, says that what has struck him with
great force are the activity. prosperity and
absence from suffering or distress, which he
has noticed among the Southern people. But
what made the most decided impression upon
him was the improved condition Of the ne
groes These he declares are getting blacker
every year. and he argues that the blacker
the negro the stronger and more intelligent
he is. he thinks from this also that the race
problem Is IN fair condition TO work itself
