A DOWNRIGHT SHAME.

The Georgia Legislature has dis
graced itself, and the Alliance ele.
ment in it are responsible for it.
While in life Henry Grady called
for subscriptions for the erection OF
a Home for poor confederate veter-
ans and 100000 poured in, with
which 100 acres was purchased on
the outskirts of Atlanta and upon
which a magnificent Home was
erected, now worth 100000. 1t was
recently offered as a free gift to the
legislature, and the legislature by a
vote of SO to 81 refused it in ODE
dience to an order from the Farmers
Alliance. Their action created right.
eous indignation among the people
and a mass meeting was called to
protest against the refusal. The de-
bate was bitter.
This action of the alliance is an
evidence of their selfshness. They
oppose every movement however
meirtorious that doesn't contain ''for
the benefit of the order"

FARMER SHAW ON THE ALLIANCE. |

EARMEk SHAW -ON THE ALLlANGE.
Anent the recent meeting of the
Alliance which turned out all mem
bers not subscribing to the Ocala
platform Farmer Shaw in Texas
Farmer says: 1.-The Alliance las now
burlesqued) met in force at Dallas
the past week. 1t was in some re.
spects a most remarkably body OF
men. It was remarkable for the
absence among its leading lights OF
single man who has ever accomp-
lished anything for the world OF
commerce, society, religion, politics,
or patriotism! remarkable for the
number who have been monumental
failures in almost every undertaking!
remarkable for its number of played
out politicians, beat place-hunters old
spawned Greenbackers and renegade
Republicans, Democrats and Union
labor malcontents In search OF soft
snaps! remarkable for its servile
boot-icking : remarkable for the
number of its anarchistlc, socialistic
and communistic tendencies! :
remarkable for turning out arbitra-
rily and without trial members in
good standing. : = The more re-
markable for turning out these men
because among them are number
that have spent time, money and
brains in the true work of the
Alliance when among the crowd who
now control it were many political
Adventures! Remarkable, in a
word, for folly, servility, trickery,
bombast, bulldozing and other
features upon which it is expected
to construct fallacies and subterfuges
to draw farmers into folly during
the coming political campaign, that
a few men may prosper at the ex-
pense of poor farmers and wage
workers, already so destitute and
heartcrushed that, like drowning
men, they are catching at every
political straw which floats near
them. Otherwise a corporal's guard
would not follow such frauds and
such follies.
The Farmer has only the kindest
and tenderest feelings for all farmers
and wageworkers who are sincere in
their advocacy of the sub-treasury
and third party, and who are un-
Willingly following the men leading
them astray, yet this paper is con-
stained to say: If you are still de-
termined after all the warning you
have had and after the fallacies and
ISLANDERS of these political tricksters
and commercial frauds have been so
often and fully refuted-if, after all
this, you are still determined to fol-
low the miserable gang, in the
devils name, go! And would to
God you could be induced to still
extend the journey-for state,
church. family or community will be
better off without any man so ever
lastingly verdant as to be thus easily
gulled."

IS GEN. GORDON AFRAID

Gen. Gordon, of Georgia, bears
the scars of battle, and though near
three decades have passed since the
war, the evidence is plainly visible
IN his face that he never turned his
back to the foe. He is noted for
his bravery, but it is said that he is
in a position where it takes more
courage to speak his conviction than
it did to face the leaden hail and re-
ceive it in the face where its plowed
deep furrow that will be a signet
seal of honor to his valor and cour-
age, when his proud spirit has
yielded to the cares of time and he
lies corpse. A year ago he Joined
the Alliance of his state and now his
alliance brethren have endorsed the
Ocala demands and declared that all
good members must take the same
position. They call upon Senator
Gordon to know how he stands. he
has not spoken yet, and it is charged
that he is afraid TO speak. If he
speaks against the Ocala demands
he will loose the Alliance vote,
which might mean defeat, while If
he indorses them he is no Democrat
and no Democrats will support him.
Gen. Gordon is a Democrat, and
while he may not want to proclaim
his views at this stage of the game,
we venture the assertion that the
same bravery that animated him to
the performance of deeds of valor
in times that tried mems souls, will
again assert itself when the time
comes, and Gen. Gordon vii, be
found on the side of the Democrats,
alliance votes or no alliance votes.
He will never indorse the Ocala de.
mands.

TRUCK GROWING.

The Arkansas Harder Herald ad-
vocates truck growing, and on the
subject says: THE Importance of
this great branch of American agri-
culture is underestimate by many.
The recent United States census re-
ports show that more than $780,
100000 of capital has been invested
in this industry, and that the annual
products of same have reached a
value of of S75, 100000, after paying
freights and commissions.
It is also worthy of note that this
industry is rapidly increasing in ex,
tent and in the value of its produc-
tIons. Until quite recently truck
farming was chiefly confined to the
immediate vicinity of the larger
cities, but as the superior advanta-
ges of soil and climate in the Gulf
States became generally known, the
more enterprising market gardener
sought the localities most favorable
to the successful pursuit of their
chosen industry. Now districts re-
mote from the great cities are be-
coming the centers of this popular
and profitable branch of farming. y
Truck growing has not had a fair
trial in the South yet, but the num-
Der of truck" raisers are increasing
every year, and though some imped-
iments will at first be found in the
way these will soon be removed and
truck farming will result in diyersi-
flying the all cotton crops, and i'm
prove the condition of the farmer.
Truck growing is in the ascendency.

NO KISS-FOLKS.

A bill has been introduced in the
Georgia legislature which makes it
unlawful for the governor, any
Judge of the supreme court, or any
superior court, city or county court,
any ordinary, mayor, sheriff, alder
man or any public officer to appoint
or to assist in appointing to any
public Office or position of trust or
emolument over which he may have
any control or any interest whatev-
er, any person related TO him within
the fourth degree of consanguinity
or affinity. 4 violation of this act
is made a misdemeanor and is pun
ishable as such It also provides
that the Office of the person so APP
pointed shall be declared vacant.
This is a good law and even its
adoption by the National govern
ment would not be bad law. ex-
cept perhaps for the Harrison fami-
ly. Should it pass while he was in
Office it would greatly unsettle
things, for it would be almost like
an election irasmuch as it would de-
bar so many Office holders.

THE GILLIAN WAR.

The insurgents or congressional
lists have been victorious in the
Chillian revolution, and Balmaceda
has been overthrown. The fate, fol-
a time at least of Chilli, has been
settled by the grim arbitration OF
war. A battle of five hours at Val,
paraiso ended the defeat of the
presidential troops, and the insur,
gents have the city. Gen. Canto
led the congressionalists to glori,
Gus victory and overthrow the des-
pot Balm&ceda who is now be-
lieved to have left the country to
keep from being shot.
As the insurgent troops marched
through the streets they were
greeted with cheers, and before the
end of the battle whole regiments
went over to them deserving the
government army. It was believed
that they would only have to march
to the capital, Santiago, to com.
plete their victory, but Balmaceda
rendered his resignation and sur
rendered without this trouble.

GOV. HoGG.s FISH STORY.

A San Antonio newspaper cores.

his return from his fishing trip to
Rockport and Corpus Christi, where
he has been rasticating far from the
maddening crowds ignoble strife for
the past few days, and while be

sion or Horace Chilton's chances for

snapper had been seized by a terra

INDIGNANT HEnRGIANs.

Ten thousand Georgians gathered
in Atlanta to denounce the 81 legis-
lators who voted against the accep-
lance as a free gift to the State OF
the 100000 Confederate Home. 1t
was an indignation meeting and the
speakers were chosen with due ref
erence TO their ability to literally
skin the Alliance men who were res
ponsible for this shameful disregard
for the Confederate soldiers. A
brass band played national airs and
speeches followed speeches of lurid
eloquence and bitter denunciation
while the crowd yelled their approx
al in the world renowned '.rebel
yell" Sam Small, Col. Calhoun,
Col. Husley, Henry Richardson and
DR.. Hawthorne were among the elo-
quent orators who satisfied the
crowd with speeches of denuncia-
ton of the. shameful action of the
Legislature, which did not represent
the chivilric spirit of the true Geor-
gian, which will see Times last thun-
der shake the world before he will
ever turn his back upon the men
who struggled in the '.lost cause" as
DR.. Hawthorne eloquently said.

A SCHEME FOR ooLoRED SUCKERS

The colored people are easily
duped, hence some sharper is always
trying his hands at extorting their
hard earnings on promises of one
kind and another. The latest and
perhaps the most chimerical is one
started at large gathering at chat
tanooga held in the interest OF the
United States and Congo National
Emigration Commission. One Rev.
Benjamin CASTOR of Liberia was the
speaker, his address beng in the
nature of an exhortation and full OF
glittering generalities. He ex-
planned to the seekers after informa-
ton as to the promised land that
was flowing with milk and honey and
that a man could live as we'll there
with two hours work day as here
with ten. The little game seems to
be to get subscribers to the capital
stock of company, with shares at
500 each, the theory being that
any subscriber who has paid SIS can
have free passage over the ocean.
A steamer is to be chartered for
made up by English phil
anthropists, and the return trip,
bringing African products, will pay
The story is plausible,
and as agents are working from
house to house among the colored
people the chances are that they will
pick up considerable money there,

WAR IN NICARAGUA.

There is trouble at Nicaragua.
There was riot there Sunday last
in which the chief of police and six
men were killed and several impor,
tant personages expelled from there
with the warning that they would
be shot if they returned. The presi-
dent Robeta Sacasu is trying to rid
himself of his most prominent OPP
ponents, and at the same time nip
in the bud q possible revolution. The
men arrested include wo ex-Presi-
dents of Nicaragua and an editor,
owner Of the most important daily
journal in the country. Granada is
practically ID a state of seige, and
affairs are assuming critical posi-
ton. The arrest of these men caused
great excitement and a vigorous
attempt to rescue them was made.
The guards were fired upon and
many on both sides were killed and
wounded. The prisoners will be
secretly taken to the frontier either
at Honduras or Costa RIGA and for.
bid returning under penalty OF
death. The dogs of war seem to all
be loose in the countries south of

THE FACTS ABOUT RA1NMAk1NG.

The Government rainmakers who
have been operating at the Morri;
ranch in Western Texas, have finally
made an official report. They have
exhausted the appropriation of $4,000
made for their purposes by the Ag-
ricultural Department.
The official verdict in brief is,
that when there were clouds of mos
ture in tie sky and they were not
too high to be reached by their ex'
plosiyes and other appliances, the
moisture was precipitated. When
there was no such moisture present,
or when it foated out of reach of
the kites and bombs, it was impossir
sible to secure any rain.
This sounds like the truth, and it
shows a very different state of affairs
from the wild stories so wildly Cir
culated of deluging rain storms Gre
ated upon the Soaked Plains of
Texas by the dynamiters. The official
report only demonstrates the truth
that it is impossible to create rain
when there is no watery vapor pres
ent in the atmosphere. That is all
there is of it.

SELF preservation Is the first law
of nature. Hence the clash between
capital and labor The average
laborer thinks that he is more than
worthy of his hire, and is constantly
clamoring for more, but the capital
ist wants to increase his fortune
and tries to get his help as cheap as
he can. It is the assertion of rights
on each side and is an unreconcila-
BILE question that will never be set
tied, but will adjust itself to toler-
ance by both, by the rule of supply
and demand.

A STRONG anti-foreigner wave is
rolling over China. They are bitter
in their denunciation of foreign
devils" their animosity being
directed largely towards Americans
on account of the chinese immigra-
ton law and the stories told by
cinnamon who have been returned
under those laws, and as the govern
ment is doing nothing to stop these
demonstrations against foreigners,
they must ultimately result in serious
disturbances. In Canton the senti-
ment is strongest but it is all over
China. There are large number
OF Americans there and if they are
to be protected the government is
wise in sending its men of war to
Chinese waters. The English
government has been concentrating
war vessels there, and China may
yet be called upon for PREPARATION for
the ill-treatment of foreign citizens.
Some riots have occurred there
and others are expected if the pres
ence of foreign navy in the ports
does not deter them.

POLITICAL ambition, says the Kan
sas City Times, has begun to surge
and dash against the reform senti-
ment of early Alliance management.
The leaders are dividing. The I'M
selfish who joined the order in the
hope of finding there a means of
building a bulkward against adyanc-
ing monopolies are alarmed by the
radical socialism of pushing agita-
tors. The extreme socialists are
claiming the sole guardianship of
the real Alliance tenets. These men
are determined to drive out the
moderates, and to organize a new
party in order that there may be Of
fees to distribute and chances to be
absobed for spending money. Per-
sonal politics is this year a factor IN

tial as in either of the old parties,
The ambitious are Trying traps for
each other, and the extremists are
reading the conservatives out to
make room for themselves.
