siderable time to regain the strength
we have lost, through the political,
monopolistic leach sucking the very
life blood from our veins. Well, Red
Bank Alliance is situated near Virgi-
lima, and we have some as good and
true material as this world affords. I
mean as true, loyal, determined Alli-
ancemen. We number only A males
and some 25females, but tnOtwithstand-
ing we are very poor, we are deter
mined, God aiding us, to make our
selves felt. We are expecting by the
1st day Of October to open a store at
Virgilina, with the cooperation Of
Hyco and Midway Alliances. On the
2nd day of this month we had meet
ing of the stockholders and a commit
tee was sent to buy lot and as we
have about 81, 900 already promised we
feel sure there is some reality in the
project We are expecting old sister
North Carolina to come to our aid as
the location is within 100 or $50 yards
of the line Well, perhaps some of
your readers are wondering where this
Virgilina is, and some will doubtless
be surprised to know that Ned Tucks
old Cross Roads is the place. Virgillna
is on the A & D. R. r.. nearly an
equal distance from Danville and
Portsmouth, about II miles from Den
nistOn Junction on theL. I'd. railroad,
Is miles from South Boston, about the
same from Clarksville, about II miles
from Buffalo Lithia springs, (whOse
waters seem to be for the healing of
the natiOns), and within 1 and half
miles of the copper mines, which are
said to be very rich. We have one
store running at this place, the foun-
dation is being laid for another, and
the Alliance makes the third, and we
are going to build. We have here
saw and grist mill planning mill owned
by Messrs. Pannebaker and John
Ford, and other buildings. We are
satisfied that there are few, if any,
more healthful locations in North
Carolina or Virginia than Virgilina.
Moreover, there is some probability of
a railroad from Greensboro by this
place, but be it as it may, we have a
most hattering prospect for town of
some note at novery distant day. We
hope to be able to have a border school

Mr. EDITOR: Evidently there is a
commotion in the political camp, else
why are SO many political papers
being sent to post offices in the coun-
try for gratuitOus distribution, ostensi-
bly, to get subscribers? One might give
them credit for being honest in their
intentions and purposes but it looks a
little peculiar that all these papers
should have their guns leveled at the
Alliance and firing on the sub-Treasury,
plan. So fer as your correspondent
has seen not one of these papers has
offered anything even resembling an
argument, but are trying the power of
ridicule. They have totally failed to
read the signs of the times and>are en-
tirely in the dark as to the rapid
strides we have made in education,
else they would have seen Gf they
possess the acumen their arrogance
would indicate) that ridicule cannot
serve their purpose. Itcan only weaken
them and strengthen us. 1t is just
another instance of the Devil over
rating his powers and over-reaching
himself, for this is most assuredly a
battle between good and evil.
Be patient, brethren; ridicule and
reviling will do the truth no harm.
The veil is too fimsy to obscure the
light.
These papers have a good deal to
say about the Mississippi campaign,

cause and strong in them, one might

perfect bill, and we know of no one in
the Alliance who will contend for this
specific bill for one moment if a better
bill can be brought forward. The end
sought in the Sub-Treasury bill is more
money. And to secure that end every
Allianceman is pledged; and for its Sc
curement every Allianceman, no mat
ter what his opinion of the present bill
may be, will fight and strive. Cannot
our friends be cOntented to strive for
the principles and ends which the Ali
ance has in view, and leave questions
of method to be adjusted in the light
of the most careful examination and in
the use of the best wisdom? At this
moment we are passing through a crisis
In the history of the Alliance move
ment. Every effort that ability can
suggest, that experience can employ,
will be used, is now being used, to dis
lntegrate the Alliance. Do we mean
to furnish our enemies any aid and
comfort from within our own ranks?
We value the unity Of the Alliance al
ways, but especially at the present
time, as above any questions of mere
methods Let us fix our attention
upon the ends we have in view and
upon the principles we have espoused
and let us stand together until such
time as will bring to us ability, not
only to say what reforms shall be
brought about, but what methods shall
be followed in bringing them about.
We plead for unity and fraternity in
our great brotherhood.

THE action lately taken by the CON

future of our politics so uncertain as
to throw the old party leaders into

seems to us that no good can come to
these leaders and the parties they rep

shivering in their places expecting dis

save themselves from defeat, let them
get together and throw their corrupt

men of this country do not care one

THE question, what will the Alliance
do with the new party is on the lips
of tens Of thousands of anxious people
to-day. Well, it ought not to take
much wisdom to answer that question.
Fhe new party has adopted the Ali
ance demands into it's platform. Does
any one suppose that intelligent ALI
ancemen will vote against a party
that adopts those demands and in
favor OF party that not only fails to
adopt, but resists those dem ands? The
Western Alliance States have already
gone into the new party. Will not

the other Alliance States to 20 into the

cheerfully conceding to the people

IT seems to us that the assaults which
have lately been made upon the Young
Mems Christian Association by leading
ministers of several Christian demon
nations in North Carolina are very
unwise. This organization as it seems
to us has done great good in the cities
and larger towns in the country. And
inasmuch as it's work is wholly unde-
nominational and purely benevolent,
we see no reason why those Christians
who do not wish to take part in it's
work should oppose it. The country
IS not 50 rich in religious workers and
influence as to make it either appro-
PIRATE or innocent to resist any class
OF religious workers. We most heartily
bid the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion God-speed.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

WE want to say that, if the new
party formed at Cincinnati the other
day shall sweep the country like a
tornado, there will come from such
sweeping no harm to democratic prin-
ciples. There may come harm to dem
ocratic organizations. But there can
come no harm to democratic principles.
With one single unimportant exception
the principles laid down by the con
ference at Cincinnati are democratic
to the core. We want this to be dis
tinctly understood Any real peoples
party is a democratic party. Let this
simple fact be kept in mind

REV. MACQUEAaY GUILTY.
The Penalty to BE Acted Upon in
the Future.

the Future.
CLEvELAND,O., March l6.-The Epis-
copal court which heard the charge
OF heresy against Rev. Howard Mac
Qneary, of Canton, o., held three long
stSsiOnssat Trinity cathedral to-day and
adjourned at 10 o'clock tonight. 1t will
probably convene tomorrow and finish
its work. Rev. Mr.. MacQueary was
found guilty as charged by vote of
3 to 2. Those voting against him were
Dean Morgan, of Trinity, and Rev.
Messrs. AYES, of st. Johns, and Put
nam, of Emmanuel, all of this city.
Rev. Messrs. Gallagher. of Painesville,
and Smyth, of Toledo, voted mot
guilty." Having been convicted, the
court took up the question of MIR.
MacQueary's penalty. There are
three forms of punishment: First, al
monition: second, suspension, and
and Smyth voted to permit Mr.. Mac
Queary TO go scot free. 1nasmuch as
the Canton author and hereto had been
admonished, no one voted to admOnish
him again. Mr.. AYES thought he
ought TO be suspended, While MessrS.
Morgan and Putnam were in favor Of
expulsion. and were so recorded. The
verdict means. that MacQueary will
leave the church, for his suspension. if
ordered, would continue until he re-
tracted his well-known views on the
birth and resurrection of Christ, which
he would refuse to do. When his pen
atty is finally fixed, it. together with the
opinion of the court, will be sent to
Bishop Leonard, who, in turn, will
transmit it to MIR. MacQueary. The
bishop can modify the penalty, but he
cannot increase it.
