and give I'll that is needed over
$1,000. In our opinion the total
cost would not exceed 34OO. A

The Jackson Patriot discusses

1he JackSOn Patriot diScuSse
The Alliance and the Lottery
in connection with the recent rnl
ing Of Pres't Adams, that all mem
bers Of the Farmers Union who
favor tssc lottery amendment should
he expelled from the order, and
that persons who have joined the
Progressive League are ineligible
to membership. The Patriot says
this ruling is in violation Of the
constitution of the Farmers Uuion,
Or at least in disregard Of the prom
ises made to members ut the time
Of theil initiation. The editor Oi
the Patriot, who is or was . mem.
bef Of the Union. says that all can
didates for admission are assured
at the outset that no obligation
would be required which would con-
hict with their political and religious
views Tn any way whatever. Now,
says the Patriot, when . member
OF the Union favors a particular
political question-as the revenue
amendment for instances many
OF them do, and Is expelled from
membership in the order on that
account, does it not conflict with
political veiws! To this the Patriot
answers: ''We think so," and
adds, ''there il no telling where
will end" In this COLI
nection it may be stated the editor of
COlfax Chronicle has withdrawn
from the Union under another rul-
ing OF President Adams that editors
and proprietOrs Of pronounced par
fisian newspapers are not eligible to
membership. The editor of the
Chronicle Il . staunch Democrat
ae is also an anti-lOttery man, and
his paper advocates with great zeal
he cause Of the farmers and the
Alliance. He has been for six
'ears chairman Of the Democratic
'xcutive committee Of G rant parish.
SUIT for all this he had to step down
md out the EaImer's Union as a |
'artisian who was obnoxious to its |
'lans and purposes. The editor,
'Owever,. will continue to espouse |
he cause Of the farmers, and as
ures them Of his friendship and H.
elity in the future rs in the past.
iOw, il this rule Of exclusion was
pplied to all editors of partisan
there could be no OBJ
ectiOn, but it seems that an excep-
lon Ii made In favor Of those who.
'aintain the political principles Of
le Alliance to the very verge If
lird partyism. The test Of partis-
nship established BY President
dams seems to be on the same
asis as the theological definition
wen by noted clerical humOrist
'at Orthodoxy IL my doxy. and
eterodOxy is your dOxy." Every
enOcrat Is construed to be a par
sian, but it is impossible to be an
lliance politician. At least, we /,
I'VE heard of no withdrawal or re-
gnatiOn from the Union of any
Iliance editor on account of Presi-
mt Adams ruling.
