THE LION AMONG THE FLOWERS.


Here, In this garden nook, alone,
Lies an old lion OF gray stone
Once, IN the long gone golden hours,
A lordly lion, proud IN state
The guardian Of d mansion gate
Now he lies low among the ilowerA
Then, oft he saw the shining dooa,
Heard light feet fall on festal floors,
Heanl music wake It's witching din,
Then dance beneath the torches blaze
The knights and ladies' OF old days,
while he watched over all within.
Now he lies here; IN his old age
Cast out, rejected by the rage
Oftime, down beaten, broken, scarred-
An old gray lion; yetnot less

divested herself of her Jacket at once, and
prepared TO enjoy herself.

may be that this accounts for the eX-
ceedingly liberal offer that is be
ing made through the mails to the
farmers of this and other States buy a
rabid, foul-mouthed Chicago sheet that
has been hired to fight the Alliance. 1t
encloses a postal card, already ad-
dressed, to a farmer and asks him to
give his full and correct address on the
card and return it and he will get the
paper free Of charge. OF course no
true AIliancemen will be caught by
this trick of the enemy. This may
Occount, too, for the liberal and free
distribution of anti Alliance papers
and literature, which is nov flooding
the mails, to the farmers. We are
watching all these shams and tricks
and will keep u brethren posted.
Millions Of dollars will be freely used
within the next twelve months to
crush the Alliance, but its members,
who made these millions, have their
manhood and their ballots left. Watch
your enemies, brethren, and stand by
your cOlOrs.

THE GRAND MASS-MEETING IN
GOLDSBORO.

The day was fair and pleasant, and
in addition to the large numbers that
arrived in the city the day previous,
the crowd began to pour in, which
lasted until the afternoon.
This vast concourse seemed to be
mostly representative men from Wayne
and adjoining counties, come to bear
away with them to their people the
sentiments and principles of the ALI
anceas enumerated by the distinguished
orators on this occasion.
Under the green foliage of the tall
spreading oaks on the court house
square the Executive Committee of
Wayne County Farmers Alliance IaI
erected a stand and seats, and about II
o'clock Col. Polk, President of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union, wa conducted to the stand
amidmany demonstration ofapplause.
He said he was at home and needed no
introduction, but went at once to the
discussion of measures, not men.
We have not the space in one issue
to give W a synopsis of the speech.
WetOOk notes, and the Sentinel readers
shall, week after week, have called to
their remembrance, with comments,
some of the measures and principles
advocated by our distinguished leader.
At ~ 80 Congressman Thos. E. Wat
son, of Georgia, arrived, and was intro
duced to the audience by President
Polk, who, after a few preliminary re
marks, made a ringing speech that will
echo down the plains of Eastern North
Carolina till it settles down in the minds
and hearts of the people, uniting them
more firmly to the Alliance people of
Georgia, and stirring them to greater
zeal in the noble cause Of educating the
masses to a sense of their true condi-
ton and the means of throwing off the
CALLING burdens of oppression that have
been heaped upon them for more than
a quarter of a century.
The key word is Education, the bat
tie cry is Forward, and if we stick,
shoulder to shoulder, as true Alliance
men to the Sub Treasury and all the
other demands our ultimatum will be
VICTORY.-AIiUnce Sentinel.

MISSISSIPPI ALL RIGHT.

The recent tour of Alliance speakers
in the State of Mississippi demonstrated
clearly that the brotherhood in that
State is deeply in earnest. Notwith-
standing the busy season, and the de
mand for their presence on their farms,
the farmers turned out in large num-
bers and manifested an enthusiastic
and increasing interest throughout.
At each point the meetings were held,
as advertised, for two days, and the
crowds were as large on the second as
on the first day. The citizens of the

VERY IMPORTANT.

The brotherhood cannot be too CAFE
full in the important matter of select
ing their very best and most faithful
members to represent them III their
various State Alliances, which IRE to
meet in the near future. None but
earnest, faithful A~lliancemen, who
stand unhinchingly by u principles,
should be selected as representatives
of the State in the neXtSupreme COun-
Gil. Matters of vital importance are to
be considered and acted upon by that
body. It will be the most important
meeting, by far, that has ever been
held by u order. It should, there
fore, be composed of our very best men.
These men are to be chosen by our
State Alliance. and as that body is
composed of men selected by the vari-
Gus County Alliances, we urge upon
the County Alliances to be careful and
discreet in selecting them.
During the next Alliance year we
will need stern integrity of principle,
high moral courage and unwavering
loyalty in our leaders. Especially are
these qualities to be seriously sought
for in selecting the President of the
various States. They must be men of
the courage of their convictions. :"
They must be men of nerve. They
must be true to Alliance principles.
They must be clear above the tempta-
tions of bribery. They must be men
who Will, under all circumstances,
prove true and faithful to the great
trusts committed to their keeping. We
think we can clearly foresee a cOndi-
ton of things that will require all
these qualities in the men who are to
bear our banners. Unless we greatly
mistake the signs of the times, the day
is not distant when the manhood and
honesty and courage and loyalty of all
Alliancemen Will be put to the severeSt
test. The indications are that n heavy
assault is to be made on us and all along
the lines. Let us have our wiscst and
best men to lead and guide us.

STAND BY YOUR COLORS.

Much ado is made over a few men
who have their names on the rolls Of
the Alliance and who have deserted
the Alliance banner. We are informed
that Hall, Of Missouri, McAlister and
Beeman, of Mississippi, Wade, of Ten
nessee, and Tillman, Of South Carolina,
will attend the meeting at Fort Worth,
Texas, on the 10th inst. for the purpose
of organizing an Anti Sub-Treasury
League. Well that's heavy. Five
men from all these Southern States.
But be the number ever so small and
their effort ever SO weak, they will be
lauded and pulled and praised all the
same by the partisan press. The tele-
graph, the mails and the partisan
papers will work it lively and for all it
is worth. Some people in this great
big country of ours have developed a
marvellous faculty for building noun
tains out Of mOle-hills. Alliancemen.

And we are further informed that
this formidable host is to have an organ
