would come from paper who had the best
Interests of the laboring people at heart, and

commenting upon the foregoing rcsolp-
tons, says:
"Our attention has been called TO
series of resolutions printed In an OBJ
scure third party organ published at
Sulphur Springs; adopted by the Delta
County Alliance, which Is formal an-
nouncement of n boycott against the
News. In order to give any one who
may have been mislcd by misrepresent-
alton IL reproduces the article COM
planned of. Here it is in full"
Here follows the paragraph before
quoted. The News goes on TO say:
"The meaning of this is too plain to
be misunderstood by any fair minded,
honorable man. 1t is we'll known
fact that the National Economist is the
organ of the alleged third party. and IL
was TO this party that reference was
made when ii used the word guerilla"
1t Is good word and the News be-
lieved then, and does now, that IL Just
fits the case The author of the reso-
luton perhaps didn't know what the
word meant In order to enlighten

third party men are, in political
sense.
1.-THE News Is democratic paper and
can he depended upon TO stand by its
principles Mt all times and under all cir
cumstances. They are the basis Of
good government and to the demo-
cratic party we are indebted for the
blessings n free government vouch
safed to all citizens. Among these arc
the freedom of speech and the liberty
of the press the two great mediums
through which the masses are enlight-
ened, the two champions of the peo-
pies rights. For exercising this liberty
and in speaking out against this third
party movement, the News has been
boycotted"
Here we have plain and explicit
declaration that the National Econ
omist is third party organ. But what
is more, very much more, important
we have an implied acknowledgment
that the persistent and intelligent edu-
cation of the people in the principles
advocated by the alliance must inevita-

are two-fold:
First-Neither of the two old parties,
as whole, can adopt and indorse the
principles of the alliance. The rank
and file cannot, because the bosses and
leaders will not a-f
Third-The National Economist,
while steadily avoiding partizanship,
tends to destroy it, by teaching devo-
ton to principles rather than fealty to
party.
Let the old line reform papers in the
north There are none in the south) do
their fighting against the common
enemy, the plutocratic press, and let
not only patience but education have
their perfect work." and in due time
we shall see sectional hate allayed, the
race question eliminated and the north
and the south standing shoulder to
shoulder fighting for a common cause
and common misrepresentation.
Some think the Economist too slow,
others think II too fast, the north and
west calls 1t conservative, while the
south calls it radical, therefore con-
clude that the Economist Is sin tho
