a CLIMAX m HAYUl.
Insurrectionist Exiles Said to Be Prepar
ing to Return.

lnSurrecttOntst ENileS Sald to Be Pf0par-
ing to Return.
NEW York, Sept. THE Norwegian
steamer Alert has arrived from Port de
Paix and Cape Hayti, both of which
ports she left on Aug. 27, and reported
that a climax in Hayti's disturbed af-
fairs would undoubtedly be reached
very soon. News of the intended re-
turn from Kingston, Jamaica, to the
Haytian capital of the exiles was being
industriously circulated in the other
large cities of the republic, and the forts
guarding the several seaport cities were
being strongly garrisoned, especially at
Port-au-Prince, and orders were issued
by President Hippolyte that if the exiles
returned to the city and made success
full attack on the palace, the guns were
to be turned on the city. The palace is
strongly guarded.
So strong is the belief that a revolu-
ton will soon break out in Hayti that
many of the foreign residents have
moved out Of Port-au-Prince, or are
sending their families away. On the
day of the Alert's departure, President
Hippolyte's family was leaving Port tau
Prince for Cape Haytian.
HippoIyte Alarmed.
Hippolyte is said to have lost conf
dence in the strength of his followers,
and is preparing to follow his FAMILY to
Cape Haytian at the first news of the ap-
proach of the insurrectionists General
L. Blot resides at this place, and at his
home Hippolyte will make his headquar-
ters. From what can be learned of the
insurrectionists they are still at Kings
ton, actively preparing, it is said, to
leave that place to make descent on the
Haytian capital.
Mr.. William Howe, supercargo of the
Alert, describes the way in which steam
ers from America and Europe are treated
on arriving there. He says steamers
plying thence to foreign countries must
conform to Haytian laws, but where
new laws are made every week, only to
be amended the next, it is often impossi-
BILE for captains of vessels to known pre-
cisely what to do. Mr.. Howe says they
are compelled to pay compulsory pilot
age fees i'll all ports there, yet a pilot
very seldom boards the vessel until the
anchor is let go in the harbor.

blood and clothing disordered So fierce
were the flames that the bodies could
not be rescued. The girls had undoubt-

LONDON, Sept. THE statement from

Cardinal San Felice, archbishop of Ma

A SHERMAN TRICK.
HAMMDNTON. n. J.

Mr.. EDTTOR:-The Wall street sub
sidized dailies are, and have been, re
minding the people that Ohio once
voted down the Democratic party on
the greenback question, when Allen
and Hayes were candidates for Gov
ernOr.
The greenback question was admit
ted by Senator Sherman to be unan-
swerable, and the Republicans gave
up the fight. On the eve of the cleo
ton the bible in the Public Schools "
was sprung upon the people, religious
excitement reigned for a few days,
greenbacks were forgotten, and Hayes
barely got in. Tilden, who feared
Allen would get the Presidential nom
nation, also KNITTED " him.
It was the school question that
changed the contest. If the Democrats
had come out boldly for greenbacks,
they would to day be in power.
When Tilghman was a candidate for
Governor, every Republican journal in
the North called on the blacks to vote
the straight Democratic ticket. Why?
because they feared that if the Demo
Gratis were beaten in the South the
effect would be to defeat the Republi-
cans in the West, and the cry Of
rebel" faij to have effect.
Break the SOLID South" and the
Solid NORTH" will shiver like glass,
the politicians be baked, and the South
and West will dominate.
The most terrible blow South Caro-
lima ever gave New England was when
she elected the Alliance ticket and de
feated Hampton.
The Bible question elected Sherman
once. He admitted that the greenback
question was unanSwerable.

A MANLY

In We68ter's Weekly Of the 29th uIt.
appears IN article which, for fairness
and true manlinesS, will receive the
commentator of all honest men. THE
PROGRESSIVE FARMER, Col. Polk and
his hosts of friends throughout the
State thank Bro. Webster most heartily
for this bold anG manly editorial in the
interest Of truth and justice. We sin
cerely regret that we cannot reproduce
the entire article. We make extracts
from it:
There is nothing in the Alliance
movement at which any honest man
or organization need be alarmed. It
does not propose to make war upon
any legitimate interest. Equal JUS
tice to all and special privileges to
none" is it's motto. The character Of
it's membership would be sufficient
guarantee of the rectitude Of it's inten-
tions, in the absence of a positive dec
laration of it's objects. 1t is composed
of as honest, handwriting people as
the u shines on. No people can pos
sibly be interested in good government
more than the farmers. None feel the
effects of an unwise policy more quick
ly. And they cannot afford to fight
their friends.
The point which we desire to impress
is that the Farmers Alliance is a PEG
PIES movement. 1t was born of the
masses and it's strength is in them. If
we have not misjudged it's intentions,
it means to restore the government to
its constitutional position. It proposes
to make it the servant of the people,
instead of the tool of a few p~lutOcrats
and cOrruptionists. The people are
awakening aud propose to take the
reins in their own hands. It is not
their object to establish a new party.
But they propose to rule. The party
that will do their bidding is the one
that they will employ. They do not
want offices, but they intend to have
measures.
Our contemporaries who are abusing
the peoples movement have greatly
underestimate It's Importance. It will
not down at ridicule and abuse, for the
men who compose it did not join it for
nothing. They have been brought to-
gether by a great cause and they must
be met fairly and squarely. The dis
graceful and cowardly warfare which
Is being made upon the order will do
the party i~ncalculable harm. Attacks
upon the officers Of the order will not
suffice for argument. The officers are
not the order; they are merely it's ser
wants. They car be deposed in a day
and the organization will still live. It
Is a mistaken idea which some of our
contemporaries entertain when they
think that if they can destroy the

falsehOod and brands it with infamy
which it deserves. In fine we have
shown the utter falsehood of the story
with such absolute certainty that even
the Capital has not the audacity to re-
peat it, but it now changes the scene
and comes to the front with another
charge of brutality at another place
and in an entirely different branch of
the s3rvice.-TOpekG Advocate.
There may be a shadow of truth in
the dispatch from Wichita, Kansas,
which told how very near President
L. L. Polk came to being coated with
tar and feathers at that place last
week, but that the contemplate deed
was to have been performed by men
who had the courage to face rebel bull
let's thirty years ago, is, on its face, a
despicable lie and a dirty insult to the
men who wore the blue. Such a deed
might have been in contemplation, but
if so, it wasinspired by the soft -muscled,
white livered whelps who have lately
lost their places at the public crib.

OAKLAND

OAKLAND, N. c., Sept. %, 81.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Last Saturday, the
10Th inst. was a gala day for the ALI
ance, and in fact to all who partici-
pated, around old Pleasant Grove
church. 1t was understood that Oak
land, Matthefis, Bethlehem, Peach
Tree and Cocoa Alliances, and perhaps
some others, would have a grand rally
and pic mic at the above-named place.
At al early hour, coming from every
direction, vehicles of different kinds,
with men, women and children, were
seen bring baskets, boxes, etc, filled
with good victuals, such as u good
Alliance sisters know how to prepare,
and when placed on the table made it
almost groan and sigh beneath it's
heavy load. 1t was soon asc~ertained
that some of our invited speakers
would not be present, but we deter
mined not to despair. At the proper
time, after singing and prayer, Bro.
L, A. Lloyd, Chaplain and Lecturer of
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1891-10-13

the County Alliance, introduced Bro.
T, H. Matthews, who made a very
good, plain and practical speech. Bro.
Matthews is an Allianceman in the
true sense of the word and may be de-
pended upon in the conflict. Next in
PRODUCED was Bro. P. S. Fender, editor
of the R0ttLer, the official organ of the
Nash County Alliance, who, for one
hour and a quarter held the audience
spellbound. He is solid on the Ocala
platform and condemns those vile ours
who are trying to destroy the Alliance
bv assailing it's leaders. His speech
will, no doubt, do much good. At this
interval Bro. w. G.. W. Stone, PreSi
dent of Oakland Alliance, announced
dinner, and oh what a delightful
sound! AS a rule Alliance people know
how to do two things at least, viz:
work and eat, and l might as well add
vote. After each ones appetite was
fully satisfied, the Secretaries of the
Sub-Alliances e. requested to meet
with their County Secretary III the
church on some important business,
and it was found that about % ALI
ances vel represented. Bro. n. Col
Inns, Lecturer for Oakland Alliance,
made the first speech after dinner and
was followed by Bros. G. Coggin, J..
P. Jenkins, G. r. Marshborne, Vice
President of the County Alliance; J. T.
Fulford and J. A. Valentine, each Of
whom made short but pithy speeches
and made us o O think we need not
necessarily go far from home to get
good speakers. Last but not least,
Bro. L. A. Lloyd, County Lecturer,
ended the exercises with a very strong
and forcible speech, full of solid and
undisputable facts, which is character
istic of the man.. We then all turned
homeward feeling what a good thing it
is to be a member of the Alliance, to be
sure.
Wishing you and the noble order for
which we are battling much success, [
am, Yours fraternally,

THE COTTON ACREAGE.

WHEREAS, We, the farmers of the
South, have been informed from time
to time that the cause of the low price
Of cotton is OverprOductiOn, and
that the markets of the world have
been glutted by the chief product of
our labor; and whereas, we further be-
lieve that curtailment Of the cotton
crops would not only increase the
price, but would cause people to
raise more of the n"ecessaries of life and
thereby make them more independent
of the trusts and combinations; and
whereas, a curtailment of the acreage
would reduce the expenses of our farms
by doing away with the necessity Of
purchasing commercial fertilizers, and
thereby relieve us of the b~urdensome
tax laid upon Us year by year.
Therefore be it remembered that we,
the officers and members of Stantons-
burg Alliance, No. 657, in council, will
reduce the acreage of our own crops to
five acr to the horse or mule, and
that we will use our influence with the
County Alliance and through that to
the entire membership in the State of
North Carolina and all the producing
States to have a like rule applied. That
the acreage may be reduced and the
supply limited,
Adopted by Stantonsburg Alliance

REDDICK ALLIANCE, NO. I,12o.

WHEREAS, Our official authorities re-
quest each Sub-Alliance to adopt or re
ject the demands made at our last Ma

Re8olUed, That Reddick Alliance, No.
1, 12O, unanimously endorse the Ocala
platform and that we endorse Presi-
dent Polk and @. w. Macune for the
good of our noble order, and that we
congratulate the brother delegates at
Morehead City for giving strength to
our Order by electing Marion Butler
for State President, and may strength
continue to be added until all III aims
are accomplished. Reddick Alliance is
weak in numbers but strong in spirits.
We came to stay.
