Texas Farm and Ranch.
Frank McGratb, president of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
of Kansas publishes in the Kansas
Farmer a manifesto-a sort of ultima
tum-to the Alliance of the South, in
which he claims to voice the sentiment
of the Northwest. In substance it is q
demand that the Alliance of the South
shall cut loose from the Democratic
party and meet the Alliance of the
North in the formation of new party.
The manifesto embraces a call for an
Alliance caucus in Cincinnati on May
18th, preparatory to the conference on
the 10th. President McGrath says:
"If we can unite all our forces aud present
an unbroken front, with one platform, and
gather to our ranks the dissatisfied Of all the
old parties, success in 1892 is ours. We can
there confer together and unitedly decide upon
the best methods to work for the best interests
of our industrial masses, and there, in mutual
conference, find where the Northwest stands
in relation to the South, and determine if the
South is willing to form union with us in
the middle of the road between the old parties,
or whether the South is working to divide the
North and place the Democracy in unlimited
power in our national affairs in 1892:
believe that voice the sentiment Of the North
west when say that the Farmers Alliance Of
the Northwestern States will either be in union
with the South in the middle of the road in
1892, or the Northwestern States will return to
their old time usual majorities for the old par
ty, and the union Of the West and South for the
protection of their homogeneous interests will
be deferred for another generation"
If the Democratic sentiment of the
Southern Alliance is as persistent as
that of the Northern Alliance for the
Republican party, there will be no gen
eral stampede in pursuit of the bell
wethers of the flock. To divide the
Democratic party Of the south would be
to defeat every aim of the Alliance and
every reform desired by farmers.

We review our course on the Lottery
question with satisfaction. Ne have
INDUCED in no abuse of persons, nor
have we endeavored to deceive our
readers in any way whatever. Our en-
deavOr has been to show that the Lottery
was no gambling institution in the gem
eral acceptatiOn of the term; that it's
dealings were fair, and were vouched
for by Gems. Beauregard and Early; that
banks, railroads and express Offices cer-
titled to the collection of all the money
drawn by the high numbers. We have
shown that there is scarcely a library,
college, academy and some churches
in Louisiana that was not built through
Lotteries that all our legislators, at
some period, have advocated Lotteries ;
that our Revolutionary Fathers,
through Lotteries, raised money to buy
shoes, clothing and provisions for the
soldiers of seveu-year war for lnde-
pendeuce that the officer who receiv-
ed Lord Corvallis sword at York
town organized Lotteries that the au-
thor of the Declaration of Independ-
ence was the open advocate OF Lotter-
les; that if all that the Anti-Lottery-
ties say il true, then Washington and
OCuCiS sui duu CuC iuCU1UcIS VI Jul AUu-
isiana Legislatures that formed onr
laws aud constitutions were gamblers
and corrupt men.
We have searched National and State
records and established these facts.
We have, then, in truthful and res
pectful manner, shown that Mr.. Morris
has offered to aid almost every great
interest in this State, SO as to promote
everything we care about, and at the
same time reduce taxation. We have
endeavored to show that aid would be
given to levees, so that no further tax
for that purpose would be- required;
that public school sessions would con-
tinue nine months, annually, thus driv-
ing illiteracy out of the State; that ad
ditional assistance would be offered to
our asylums, and relief afforded to
every Confederate soldier, and our
public treasury enabled to meet all de-
mands.
We look back upon our course with
pride. We have been independent in
our course, and have not attempted to
abridge the freedom of opinion in 9TH

Baton Rouge Advocate: The Cafery

Franklin q genuine boom, and there is
greater prosperity among the people Of
that town in all branches Of business
than the most saDguine man could have
dreamed Of few years ago. The in-

so much extended that the capacity of
the refinery will be doubled in time for
the matured crops Of the present grow
ing season. The capital which is thus
employed came from very immoral y
source. but it brings blessings in it's
train, and has done more for the pro-
eress Of agriculture in Louisiana, by the
promotion of cane culture in new di-
rection, than all the Alliance and anti
lottery meetings and resolutions ever
can do in a thousand years.

The Monroe Telegraph Bulletin re-

the contrary, it maintains that the

there is nothing that can prevent fu-
ture of unexampled prosperity. 1t is
not question:" says the Telegraph
Bulletin, whether or not Louisiana is
so poor that she cannot maintain digni-
fed and respectable statehood without
rechartering the lottery company, but
the real question is whether or not she
will be greatly benefited by such a re-
charter, ahd whether or not the benefits
and advantages will greatly over-bal-
ance the evils. if any. We maintain
