PARIS, March Emile Zola Is at present

copyright bill would be boon for French
authors; that it would increase their revenue
and secure them better translations. The

Savior at His execution and for which the
soldiers drew lots. Whether or no it is the
genuine article, the Treves coat is certainly
very ancient and has a rather curious his
tory. 1t was gift of the famed Empress
HeIens, mother of Constantine the Great
In her day Treves was the capital of Belgic
Gaul. and the residence of the later Roman
emperors Helena converted her castle into
the cathedral, endowing it with the precious
coat.
During the Middle Ages many pilgrim
ages were made by the devout to worship at
the shrine of the great treasure, which was
usually exhibited but once in a century.
The last occasion was in 1874, when the city
became the Mecca of the most remarkable
pilgrimage that has taken place since the
fourteenth century. Pilgrims came from all
quarters, many in large bands. headed by
banners and village priests. They came
in such numbers that accommodations could
not be given them, and they slept out of
doors by the thousand. The affair was also
marked by the opposition of reformed
priest named Johann Ronge, who addressed
a letter to the archbishop denounc-
ing q resuscitation of the superstitious
observances of the Middle Ages.
Ihe letter caused great tumult, and In
short time Ronge was communicated, and
at the head of an organized body OF Catholics
determined on resisting the supremacy of
Rome. The German Government became
alarmed, however, and suppressed the dem
onstration, and Rouge was banished from
the country.
The coat is a loose garment with wide
sleeves, very simple in form, Of coarse ma
terial. dark brown in color, probably the re-
suit of age, and entirely without seam or
decoration. The cut of it given here is taken
from copy of the prints OF it issued in 1874.

THE WAY 1T GOES.


In the Geographic reports of the
State Alliance meeting of New York,
and of President Folks speech, one re-
porter in a Buffalo paper says: "Presi-
dent Polk says: we. want no third
party" The reporter of the New
York Herald says: His speech was
a declaration in favor of a third
party" and SO it goes. President Polk
himself says: Il expressed no opinion
whatever as to a third party"
We would again admonish our
brethren to accept, with several de-
e of allowance, the statements of
prejudiced partisan papers in regard
to the Alliance. President Polk, in
common with the great body of men
whom he represents, believes if a THIRD
party is a public necessity, the people
will so declare, and they will have it.
He believes the people should lead in
a matter of such moment, and that
they will be governed by their convic-
lions, independent Of the favor OF OPP
position of any man or set of e

sheep driven to the shambles, have
walked up and voted, and for what?
For men who have gone into Congress
and assisted in fastening the accursed
banking laws upon our country, by
which a few have been enabled to OPP
press the many-by which u crops
have been forced on the market when
prices were lowest-by which our
lands have become greatly reduced in
value-by which a farmer, no matter
how much land he owns, has to go as
a beggar. or vassal to some other class,
and through them get a p~ittance of a
loan of money if he needs it, and has
to a enormous rates of interest be-
sides-by this.the mortgage system was
enacted whereby a poor farmer has to
pay a rate. of interest from 25 to 500
per cent. The tariff will not be the
fight in 1892, but it will be against the
the national banking system by the
people and for the Sub-Treasury plan
and free coinage of silver.

publicly. He is not only permitted,
but is encouraged by u law, to dis
cuss any and all measures coming
within our province with the utmost
freedom and to any extent he may de
sire within the Order. But the VIII
of the majority is the law of the Order,
and if he can not a~cquiesce In the de-
cision of the majority, and feels that
he is conscientiously impelled to go
before the public and assall u prln-
ciples, he should first divest himself
of his Alliance uniform. With what
consistency could a Baptist or Metho-
dist go before the world and publicly
oppose and denounce some of the most
cherished tenets of his church? How
long would his name remain on his
church book? How long ought it to
remain there? Why should he ex-
pect or desire to remain in the
church?
Loyalty to Alliance principles is the
only true Alliance test, not only as to
membership, but IL snOuld 1alUhLuily
be appliedin the selection of all officers,
from the steward in a subordinate ALI
ance to the President of the National
Alliance, and it must be applied in the
selection of those who are to make and
execute our laws, if we would reason
ably hope for the reforms which we
seek.
We want no foes within our camp.
We can live better without them than
with them. Let the membership be
.watchful and faithful, and guard with
untiring vigilance the principles of the
Order. Never was the outlook for our
cause so hopeful and encouraging.
We have only to be true to u princi-
pies, true to u obligations and to our
noble Order, and all will be well.

So Says the Iredell County Alliance.

So Saws the Iredel County Alliance.
AT it's meeting on the 10th inst. the
Ireden County Alliance adopted the
following resolutions:
WHEREAS, We have read an article
in the Statesville Landmarks of March
10Th. in which the following occurs:
"Col. Polk gave it out that there were
1000, 900 people belonging to the labor
organizations in this country who will
not vote for Mr. Cleveland next year
if he is nominated" The editorial goes
on to say that the writer knows the
pc Jple of North Carolina, and If Col.
Polk stands on n side and says ''this
way" and Mr.. Cleveland stands on the
other and says this way" that four
ffths of them will enroll under the
Cleveland banner. Therefore
RESOLVED, That we, the members of
-Iredel County Alliance, d~eprecate such
~utterances, and believe it is done for
the purpose of causing dissatisfaction
and to reflect upon the honor, intelli-
gence and loyalty of our members,
We believe that our members in North
Carolina and throughout the Union
are in earnest for reform, and that no
man is of more importance than n OF
our great principles.
I'd. That Iredell County Alliance IS
in favor of such public officers only as
favor the demands of the Ocala plat
form, and will not bend the Alliance
platform to suit the views of any man
in either party; they must come to us.

PRESIDENT Polk and National Lee
turer J. f. Willetts attended the meet
ing of the New York Alliance on the
22d, and organized the State Alliance.
Tt was an enthusiastic meeting and
the utmost harmony prevailed. They
report the brethren of that great State
in thorough accord with the great
principles of our order. Indeed they
are much more cautions and exacting
than wa to have been expected. They
demand of all men, who are to repre-
sent them, that they shall declare their
readiness to stand solidly on the Ocala
demands. They are t%olerating no fool
ishness on this important matter. We
are promised some articles from the
brethren Of that State, which are to
be presented to our readers.

1T seems very hard for Democrats
to understand why the Alliance in the
South cannot take the one plank of
their platform "low tariff" and make
it answer for every demand of our
order. IF those who talk thus will
read our demands they will find that
the tariff is n of them, but not the
leading one. And we cannot see why
all Democrats and Republicans can
not accept our demands as part of
their platforms, and with decided ben
eft to them. For twenty-five years
the members of the Alliance have voted
either the Democratic or Republican
ticket, the "bosses" of these old par
ties fixing the platform and we, like

Counting Chickens Before They Hatch.

Counting Chickens Before They Hatch.
AS rule it is considered rather rash
undertaking to count chickens before they
are Matched, but the good folks in Scotland
have entirely overcome this difficulty. 1t
is as simple as possible. The hen has only
to be set on an odd number of eggs and they
will not be added. But there is another
danger-namely, that of the proverbial
blind hen-to be averted; and this is done
by placing the eggs under the mother bird
only after sunset, or the chickens will be
blind. And while she is at it she may as
well further propitiate the magicians that
are bent on frustrating her future plans
for the hencoop by repeating a formula of
which, for some unaccountable reason, they
stand in great awe 1t is, in the proper
vernacular,
A. in thegeethir,
A. out thegeethir.
And here, in conclusion, are few more
useful items concerning eggs:
To hang an egg laid on Ascension Day in
the roof of a house preserveth the same
from all hurts.
If you have desire to see the ladies of
the broomstick on May Day-their festival
you must take an egg laid on Maundy
Thursday and stand where four roads meet;
or else you must go into church on Good
Friday, but come out before the blessing.
