The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-04-21

THE predictions so freely INDUCED in
by the ~antireform press of the country
that the Alliance movement would
labate some of it's energy after the cleo
tions and fall into a speedy decline,
have not been fulfilled. This failure
of fulfllment has not, however, dis
vcouraged the prophets. They keep on
telling us that the enthusiasm is dying
out of the Alliance. The organization
of Iowa, West Virginia, Ohio and New
York within six weeks is pretty vigor-
GUS work for an institution that is said
to be losing it's enthusiasm. We think
the Alliance was never more vigorous
than it is to-day. We think it never
did better work than it is doing now.
We urge our friends to push on the
good work of educating the people. In
this way, and in this way alone, we
shall win all the objects we have in
view.

THERE has been a good deal of fever
ish anxiety in this country to know
what Italy would do in regard to her
demands upon the United States for
punishment to the lynchers of the
Malta. The news comes to us that the
feeling in Rome is decidedly more calm
than at any time since the rupture. We
think the spirit has passed that might
have led to something rash, and we
confidently expect a peaceful adjust
ment of the trouble.

THE State Alliance of Ohio was
organized at Columbus on the 10Th

duct should be met. We want all men
to know that we look upon the Gar of
Russia as we look upon a ferocious
brute.
WE think Alliancemen should ad-
dress themselves afresh to the work of
educating the people upon the great
questions before the country. But there
should be no spirit of intolerance mani
tested in this work of educating the
people. There are good and true men
in the Alliance, who have opinions of
their own, and are honestly DESTROYS
Of throwing all the light possible upon
public questions, with a view to get
ting at the exact truth. Let no n
read these men out of the Alliance be-
cause they dare to think for them
selves. This Alliance movement has
won it's present position mainly by en-
~couraging free discussion of public
questions. Whenever the time comes
that the Alliance shall throw the
weight of it's influence against the free
dom of discussion, the end of it's in
fuence for good will not be distant.
The free people of this country will not
allow the voice of discussion to be
stifed, we may be sure.
A Star reporter recently asked Sena-
tor Edmunds his opinion as to the
cause of the unrest which the farmers
are exhibiting just now. The Senator
replied: 81 think a part of it arises
from intrinsic qualities of the human
mind, which has it's periods Of rest and
then of excitement, just as nature has
in respect to storms and diseases, and
the time happens to have come when
one of these periods of fevers is at
hand" Just so. In Senator Edmunds'
opinion there has been no discrimina-
ton against farmers. The tariff is no
burden to them. The lavishing of
hundreds of millions of money upon
pensioners, and other hundreds of mil
lions upon private corporations works
no hardship to the farmers, according
to Mr.. Edmunds. The characterization
Of silver and the enhancement of the
value of gold, the purchase of bonds at
an enormous premium before they are
due, and the continuance of the unjust
features of the National Banking sys-
tenn work no disadvantage to the farm
ers in the estimation of the Vermont
Senator. The present unrest of the
farmers can no more be removed by
legislation, in the opinion of Mr.. Ed
munds, than can the storms of sum
mer. Indeed, the great Senator thinks
unrest amongst the farmers is quite
natural, like disease; and can be no
o influenced by legislation than
can the govt or the rheumatism. Mr..
Edmunds does not say so, but we infer
that he thinks the dissatisfaction of
the farmers of the country is to be
allayed just as men allay the itch-by
a little innocent scratching. Now,
gentlemen Of the pillow, We knights of
the hoe, since Senator Edmunds has
assured you that your present unrest
is nothing but a humor in your blood,
a breaking out Of harmless pimples
upon your skins, can you not quit your
nonsense and go home like good fell
lows and work like blazes, and earn
some money to pay into the tills of the
manufacturers of the East and North?
Say? Don't you see there is nothing
the matter with you, but a harmless
fever, that arises from the very rich
ness of your own financial blood?
Don't you see? Hey!

Rome-B Biographical sketch.
ROME, March 1s.-Prince Napoleon is
dead. His last hours were agonizing.
1t required the united strength of four
men to keep him in bed. His cries,
caused by the agony he endured, were
plainly heard in the street. The fol-
lowing telegram from Pere Hyacynthe
was received shortly before the
prince breathed his last: Dear
friend, we all pray for you. God
| alone is your support" To this the
prince replied: When the moment ar
rives shall be ready. My conscience
is easy" His memoirs and entire cor
respondence have been placed by
Prince Napoleon in the hands of Fred
erick Mason.
After dismissing all the other distin-
guished persons who had called on
him, Prince Napoleon on Monday con-
fded to King Humbert his last wishes.
The prince refused to permit any
formal religious minstrations

had made him discard his American
wife. His mother was the Princess Fred
erika, of Wurtemburg, and he was born
| September g, 1922 at Trieste. His
youth was spent at Trieste, Vienna,
Florence and Rome, with occasional visits TO
Switzerland, Spain and England. He was con
sidered the cleverest man of the Bonaparte
family since the great Napoleon but he was
nevertheless a conspicuous failure both
in politics and in war He leaves behind him
