TIE quality of personal charm is the
strongest attraction q woman can pos
sess. 1t does not necessarily imply
beauty or learning, or specific accom-
plishments, but it is, instead, kind of
infiorescence of all that goes to make
up culture, taste, sympathy. imagina-
ton, the magnetism of q poetic and
ideal temperament. The quality of
charm is elusive, and can no more be
reduced to definition than can the
perfume of a flower. But when it ex-
lists it holds a potent and subtle en-
chantment, and is the best gift of the
gods.

By the way, when we of the Exceed
ingly United States are moved to
speak with an appropriately SNUG and
oleaginous holier-t of the
South American revolutionary repub-
lies" let us, by all means, so speak !;
but let US not forget that less than a
generation ago We had ourselves the
distinction Of looking upon the sword
when it was red. If there is in these
our times and in this our country one
spectacle more ludicrous than every
other spectacle it is that Of q stump
taught American poll-patriot strutting
on his perch in the sunshine of the
consciousness of his own nationality,
leisurely blistering in spots lately de-
hedged by the monkey of rebellion and
screaming derision at every green
feather waited past him by the South
ern breeze.

WHY is it that the owner of a dog is
obliged to take out license while the
owners of cats are exempt from such
exRotion? There is no more reason why
a dog should be subject to a special
tax than cat should be. The theory
cannot be that a dog is more danger
Gus or offensive to the public, for GER
tainly the city would not for a small
sum compound the offense of keeping
an animal dangerous to the public. 1t
Is also to be noted that cat on the
back fence is often a source of more
annoyance to & neighborhood than are
a dozen dogs. The amount of money
which might be obtained from a cat
license iudiciously applied would be
material addition to the city funds,
and the idea is certainly worthy of
serious consideration.

Sented at our conference, permit me TO
say that from the different private ad-
vices have received from the southern
states, that / can assure all, that che
delegations from their Alliances, white
and colored, from nearly all those states,
will be there in full force and sympathy
with us, fer the purpose of efecting .
harmonious union Of all of our industrial
organizations, that united we may con-
tinue the grand work Of the education Of
our people in the true political economy
Of our movement. Let US make haste
slowly. Let US work that homo
geneous union of the industrial forces Of
our entire nation, that the interest Of all
may be protected in one grand organiza-
tlon that shall bury beyond all hope Of
resurrection, the old sectional animosl-
ties, by means Of which our enemies have
divided us..in the past that they might
keep labor PROSTATE at the feet Of capi-
tai through our divisions, and exalt the
tyrsny and wealth Of plutocracy by the
oppression Of our industrial classes.
In conclusion, let me say that all dele
gates west Of the Missouri river should
at once apply to Prof. G. Vincent, at Win
field, II they wish sleeping cars and send
with your application at least $500 II
you wish to secure sleeping accOmmoda-
tions from st. Louis to Cincinnati, that
the fare az at present established will be
in addition thereto $4,000 from Kansas
City to Cincinnati and return to Kansas
City, unless the railroads make q lower
rate. That the Hotel Emery has been
secured as the headquarters Of the Ma
tional Citizens Industrial Alliance, and
that all persons who wish rooms engaged
at that hotel should notify me at once.

boldly to the front, publicly avow their

they are consistent, as far as politics are

May 18th, at about the hour Of Z o'clock.
From that place we will leave on trains
over the Chicago & Alton about s o'clock

where we will meet Iowa and Nebraska

Now, In regard to the business Of this
conference, let me urge upon the dele
gates to the conference, that they do not
60 to Cincinnati with a determination In
their mind, that any particular course
must be taken there, but let US meet In
Cincinnati in accordance with the call
sent out by me In February, for confer
ence that we may unite all Of our indus
trial organizations in one harmonious
body upon common platform federat-
ing upon the great issues of transporta-
tion, land and currency, and leave 1t to
the combined wisdom Of our conference
to take such steps for the campaign Of
1892 as the conference may deem fitting.

would have been yelling and denouncing
the movement as fearful and awful; as
threatening the solid south and white
supremacy, and it would have charged It's
advocates with Altering upon crusade
to destroy all that Is loved or priced at
the south; but for that number of Demo
cratic clubs in South Carolina TO do
worse actually uniting with and becom-
ing part of the Republican party, and
sending delegates to one Of the confer
ences Of that party; it does not even
arouse an expression of surprise, much
less denunciation.
The average reader will no doubt be
perplexed to find an answer to these
questions, and the unaccountable con-
duct Of the state organ OF the Democratic
party, rather the organ Of the plutocratic
faction of the Democratic party of Ala
bsna. To US 1t is no surprise. On the
contrary, both the action taken in South
Carolina and the course of the Advertiser
were expected. We have been reliably
informed and believe that a similar de-
noument as that taken by the Haskell
faction in South Carolina last fall was in
tended by the anti-Alliance faction in
Alabama last June, and that 1t was only
prevented by the shameless manlpula-
tions which rendered 1t necessary.
It may be intended next year, if
a similar contingency shall arise. The
Advertiser does not now propose to fur
nish ammunition with which it may be
destroyed next year-condemned out of
Its own mouth, as it were-and that may
account for Its silence.
But this movement of the South Caro-
lima straight outs" }" which means straight
out of the party when they can no longer
control 1t, has deeper significance and
more far-reaching than many suppose.
1t is the initiatory step Of the plutocratic
Democrats In the south, which may be
in every state in which they
may fail to dictate and control the party.
It means also that this plutocratic ele-
ment Ia intent on running the Demo
cratic party on the plutocratlc schedule,
and if they fail they propose and intend
to initiate the example set by their Co
laborers In Sonth Carolina. It foreshad-
ows also that there are but two political
elements In this country-the money
power and its servants, tools and co-adju-
tors, and the great mass of the produc-
ers and laborers and their allies and
friends-the robber and the robbed, the
oppressor and the oppressed, the blood
maker and the blood sucker.
The bold, open and unmistakable pur-
pose Of these fitty-one Democratic
clubs allying themselves with the
Republicans is, to say the least, manly
and brave. They do not mince words

IT LOOKS BAD-CAROLINA POLITICS.

Refuse to Accept the Alliance Doctrines and
Claim They Have No Other RecOurse-Fifty
Clubs Represented.
From the Alliance Herald, Montgomery, Ala.
CHARLESTON, April IA very significant
political meeting was held at the state capi-
tol to-day. Il was the first white Republi-
can meeting ever held in the state, and il ie
said to be largely the outgrowth Of the ALI
anCe wave which swept over the state last
year. The significance of the meeting was
the presence for the first time of a number
of leading white citizens who have hereto
fore been associated with the straight out
Democratic party. Among them were DIR.
Bowen, Mr.. Hannah, ,lof Spartansburg; James
Hunter, of Union; DIR. Monroe, of Union,
and others. Fifty-one clubs were repre-.
sented. The meeting elected delegates 70
the Republican League convention, which
meets in Cincinnati on the 21st. This move
ment is regarded with some concern here,
taken as it is, in consideration of the re-
peated declaration Of the Alliance in favor
of third party. The white Democrats who
are in it say that the old Democratic party
has been elbowed out of existence by the
farmers movement, and as they will not
subscribe to the platform and principles of
that movement they will 60 into the Repub-
iCan party. There are so many Democrats
in the state who are Disguised with the
Tillman administration that there is some
danger of the movement developing into q
stampede from the Democratic party as it
exists in this state at the present.
The foregoing press dispatch is copied
from the Montgomery Advertiser of last
Saturday. Although it is one of the
most remarkable and significant move
ments made in the south for decade,
that paper made no editorial comment or
In any way referred to it. If this action
is commendable for the "straight-out'
South Carolina Democrats to pursue,
and worthy of It's commendation, 1t
ought to have accorded It; on the con-
trary, If 1t is dangerous and wrong in It's
tendency or purpose, it should have
urged its objections to It or denounced
1t. 1t did neither. Why? Are the
bonds Of plutocracy stronger hold upon
the Advertiser than the Democracy? Is
this plutocratic policy so good in It's esti-
nation that such movement against the
Democratic party can find no objections
for it to urgef Here is plain, positive
effort Of faction to disrupt and destroy
its idol and the halo shrine at which It
has pretended to pour out its most sacred
libations for years; and not q word
against 1t. Why this indifferenceS Why
this careless disregard? Why this re-
markable silence? What does 1t mean?

while incendiaries are also engaged in de-

The government Of Chile is reported to

appalling. A correspondent at Lima writes
that 400 refugees who arrived on the last
steamer were SO destitute that they had to
remain on the wharf. The commandment
at Iquique was selling -four at % cents per

Fighting between the government forces
and the rebels near Iquique resulted in q
victory for the latter. About 700 men in
all were killed. A Lima paper published a
message from Iquique received by the En-
giish minister, saying the triumph of the
rebels on the 7th of March was decisive
and that Balmaceda's troops were
Knocked to pieces. Hundreds of
people have abandoned the nitrate
works, and accompanied by their families,

died on the desert, and their bones marked
for many days the road to the now ADAM
