The Alliance,

The Supreme Council OF the Az
lance was i'm session at Indianap9-
lis last week. Col. Polk was re-
elected president. His election was
taken as victory for the third party
people.
The Ocala platform was re-af-
hrmed. A resolution was passed
instructiDg Alliance Congressman
not to go into the caucuses of either
of the old parties for nominating
candidates for speaker. The anti
Sub-treasury Alliance presented
a protest. The Council refused to
hear unless it was first sent in i'm
writing and the ants insisted upon
its delivery through a spokesman
OF their own. So the antis have
called a National Convention of
their own to meet in Memphis,
Tenn, on Dec. 16, 1891.
The peoples party say that they
Will have q candidate in the field
for president and vice president.
The Supreme Council adjourned
Saturday. Col. ID. p. Duncan was
endorsed by the Council for va
cancy in the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

a petition has been going the
rounds in Rabun community ask
ing for money to purchase a wire
fence to enclose the 'sseminary,n
meaning the cemetery, but Uncle
Pink wrote this petition aud vows
that seminary is right, it matters
not what Webster, Worcester and
such fellows say about it. A gen.
tleman suggested that probably it
was Uncle Pink's intention to en-
close the seminary with a wire
fence, as Prof. w. II. McElroy has
charge of this institution and GER
tain parties have been trying with
out success to cage him for some
time and now probably they think
a wire fence would hold him.

wide awake citizens put their

a blessing to this community.
Some mean person poisoned
to death a very valuable shepherd

MendIcnnnx.

There was a pitiiui sight on the streets
last Wednesday. IL was the coolest day
of the season and biting winds were
blowing. On q pallet I'm a small wagon
lay a middle aged man. Rheumatism
and he was being drawn from door to
door begging.
1t was said that he had left at home a
vile and ten children dependent on the
charitable for bread.
There were no indications of fraud
about the man and his sad story was
probably true. 1t was a very etfectiye
appeal to the liberalty OF passers by.
Whetheri IL was anybody's duty to help
II man is another affair. DisregardIng
the TACT that the fellow who was pulling
him about was hale and strong and
might have been toiling for his friend
instead OF assisting him In begging. the
question OF wisdom Of encouraging
mendicancy ONE up.
We are taxed to support poor-houses
and h country is full of refugees for the
unfortunate. If a man starves it ia his
w fault. If we give to one beggar,
though apparently the most deserving,
do we not encourage others? And are
not a large percentage of beggars
frauds?
We believe that 1t is wrong in princi-
pie to give to beggars ana that If tho pub
lie would discountenance them that
their miseries would find plenty Of re-
lief in tho places provided by law.
Ia cases where a man asks help to get
on his feet again, when he is burned out
for instance, it is different and his
neighbor ("neighbor" in the s%criptural
sense) should lend a hand.
