y TUNEFUL MULE.

He who has not heard the mer-
ny song Of the tuneful mule,
knows nothing of the powers
and potency of music in her
widest, freest mood. When
in solo Or concerted opera, the
four-foCted choir is head and
ears above all human possibili-
ties. The music begins with
andante movement, soft and
sweet as the INCREASED wheel
barFow's plaintive voice; then
comes then staccat O furioso,
the adagiofortissimo splitycur-
earso followed by the tremuleus
wee haw' which is the crown
and summit, the cloud clapped
mountain top OF ecstacy aud
| joy, Talk not Of music fellow,
citizens, till you have heard the
song of the mule.-Wllson Mir
roe.

EDITOR OF CLINTON CAUCASIAN:
Having been elected Cores
ponding Secretary of the Duplin
County Farmers Alliance atour
last meeting, OH the 24th nit,
| will give you q short sketch
of our proceedings, or at least
such OF them as may be Of in
terest TO the readers of your val
liable; paper land our adopted
organ).
We are not dead, neither are
we all asleep. There are many
true men and women in the
rank and file Of the Order in
Duplin county. This fact was
strikingly indicated on the Oath
ult. Notwithstanding the busy
season there was quite a crowd
out to attend our county meet
ing and to hear our District Lee
tnrer. Several resolutions were
passed. One in regard to the
death of our noble Governor,
Daniel G. Fowle. One of i'm
portance in reference to the
Public School Law, about which
[ am now not at liberty to write,
and another in reference to ed
ucating the mem bers of our Or
der in those grand principles
that are to lift every mem Der
of the Alliance on to higher
plain, where the benign influ-
ence and fructifying rays of AL
lance truth shall SO shine upon
the mind and soul of every in
dividual member, that he may
not only see but feel that the
principles and demands are
right, and knowing this, dare
stand by his brethren to defend
them, To under stand what is
right is the only incentive nee
essary for a good man TO go for
ward in the discharge of his du-
ty. The farmers of this coun-
t.v (who compose tue Alliance
principally as class, are the
most honest. and the only thing
for them to know is the trnth
las 20 the purpose of this grand
Order. Those who have better
opportunities and stand where
they can comprehend the liyht,
must from that position dis
pense to his benighted brethren
the light he enjoys aud which
is so necessary to his brothers
in the dark. And, as brother
SeaweU illust. ated on this point
by the apt anecdote OF the
drunken man atten ping to

against Alliance principles, therefore

The criticism of Senator Car
Isle that the Government can
have no money to loan to the
farmers that it does no. first
collect in taxes, now quite Of
ten repeated, IS a most stale
chestnut. The truth is, the tax
payers can have 10 money not
first issued by the Government.
The farmers simply propose a
just and equitable method of
issuing money, no NOR, and
will accept no adjustment that
does less. -Nat;on Economist.

SUCCESSION OF LIEUTEN
ANT GOVERNORS.

The Office OF Lieutenant Gov
ernor did not exist in this State
until 1868, aid since that tine
the lieutenants have been a
lucky lot.
In 1870 Caldwell succ eeded
Holden, served two years, was
elected Governor in 1872, died,
in 1874, and lis lieutenant
Brogieu, served out the term.
In 1879 Vance was elected to
the Senate, and his lieutenant
Jervis, served out the term. and
took a gour years lease Of his
own.
Lieutenant Governors Robin
son and Stedmen, to Jarvis and
Scales, respectively, never
reached the executive chair
Brogder, and Holt succeeded
on the death of their Governors
Caldwell through Holden's i'm.
parchment, and Jarvis by the
prom otiOn Of Vance to the Sen
ate.
Thus six Governors have bee,
elected since reconstruction
and four of the Lieutenant Gov
ernOrs have succeeded to the
officer of Governor.
Should Governor Holt serv
to the end of the term, January
1898, the four lieutenants will
have served eight years alto
gather, or one third Of the pc
riod Of twenty-fonr years, sine
the Office of Lieutenant Cover
nor was Winston Sen
tinoi.

The State Convention of the Farmers
Alliance, which met at Gallon yesterday,
is meeting of great Importance in de-
termining the future attitude OF the
organization in this State and the other
eastern States, towards the two great po-
litical parties and the third party move.
ment. The futility Of the independent
movement in this State last fall has bred
a more conservative judgment among
many prominent members on the sub.
ject of politics. This sentiment will
manifest itself in its full strength at Gal.
ion, and before the convention is over
it will be shown which party will con-
troll the future course Of the organiza.
ton. Both political parties in the State
are perceptibly influenced by the de.
mand for certain kinds of legislation.
Bills of all kinds for the retrenchment Of
expenses, the reduction OF taxes and the
equalization of burdens are being intro.
duced into the Legislature and won.
derful willingness to show the farmer
and the lsborer every advantage is man.
ifest. As far as State legislation is con
cerned, Ohio farmers are now in situa
ton to get about all they can reasonably
ask, but those who are infected by the
craze for imitation will do their utmost
to draw the Alliance into . third party
movement in the next State campaign
in order to lend support and coloring to
their effort to organize greenback an
mex to the Democratic party in the fight
of 1892.

Hurry !" while another announced that
he would give dissertation on fools
in general with particular reference to
the 'ools who built the Babel Tower. A
Columbus preacher advertised that he
would disclose "a grander remedy than
Prof. Koch's iymph," while another
who evidently had Brown Sequard in
his mind promised to speak on "Dead

we're evidently intended to attract by
their oddity were "Man's extremity"
Blocking the way" "Fruit or fuel"
"The hideous form Of procrsstination
exposed" 1.-THE natural history of the
heresy hunter" and "a great preacher
dismissed by small audience" It is
doubtful II these discourses were as sen.
sational as their subjects would indi-
cate, and it is probable that those who
went expecting to hear something racy
were treated to sermon full of plain,
old-fashioned, home.hitting truths. It
is to be feared that the rectangular doc
trines of the old theology are not very
attractive to this present generation and
that the clergy are altogether justifitable
in adopting the modern business method
OF presenting them to their hearers in
the form that is surest to win their
attention.
