REsuRRECTING A. DEAD ISSUE.

When four years ago the people of
Texas voted on prohibition and re-
iected the proposition by 100000 ma
jority, it was with the understanding
all around that the subject BE- dropped
Indefinitely and the people sh)uldn' t
be bothered with it again during this
generation at least. With that un
Outstanding the matter had been con-
sidered finally disposed of.
But to the surprise of all the state
prohibition committee which met at
Corsicana Tuesday, and of which Mr..
Knowles of Dallas, was chairman, it
appears from special dispatches have
determined to renew an agitation that
did no good and ended in the over
whelming defeat encountered by
Texas Prohibition in August, 1887.
The movers of the pro-
posed crusade must be awar,
that prohibition is a deat
issue all over the country, and to at
tempt to rehabilitate the cause in Texa
must end in failure. The people hav
settled it once and don't want to b.
bothered with it again.
The suggestion might be made t,
Mr.. Knowles, Judge Heath, MI
Pendergast of Mexia and others of tn
committee, that it is neither indicativ
of good judgment or proper notions O
public policy to begin their new raj
on the personal rights of the peopl
by denouncing the Democratic part
of Texas. This they did in resolution
adopted 10y the committee, becaus
IAN insolent Democratic house." q
they term it, refused them the use G
the hall of representative in which t
hold a political convention. Tn
movement to reorganize an issue dea,
and buried in 1897 will fall flat as
piece of spring poetry.

BALTIMORE, Aug. u. - The Farmers
Alliance, or Peoples party. began the
second days session of the state conven-
tion at 8 o'clock this morning. All ont
siders and reporters were excluded.
Resolutions were adopted this afternoon
by the Maryland State Farmers Alliance
declaring that as all citizens are equal.
therefore taxation on both real and per
sonal property ought to be equally i'm
posed; that every exemption from tax
alton is direct appropriation for the
benefit of the owner of exempted property,
and an increased levy on the prop
erty of the taxpayers; that no ex-
emption law is just; that no law,
contract or device, directly or indirectly,
imposing the payment of any part of a tax
upon any man not the bona ide owner of
the property ought to be tolerated, but
ought to be held illegal and void; that
mortgages should be taxed where re-
corded; that non-residents of the state
ought not to participate in the use and en-
ployment of the public property of the
people of the state, and therefore the
oyster and other fisheries of Maryland
ought to be preserved by law for the sole
use and benefit of the citizens of Mary
land. The platform adopted at Ocala was
Endorsed. The following was adopted:
The Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
is not and cannot become political party. The
proper work OF the order is educational only.
and the members are free to decide with what
party to act. 1t is, the other hand, for polit-
lcal parties and the managers thereof, each for
themselves, to determine what they will do to
deserve the moral support of the order or the
votes of its members.
Frank Brown, Democratic nominee for
governor, was indorsed for governor in the
following:
WHEREAS Frank Brown, of Carroll county,
has announced through the press his candidacy
for goyernorship. has appealed to the farmers of
Maryland for support, and in public speeches
further declared his sentiments favorable TO
and upholding the agricultural interests; there
fore the Farmers Alliance of Maryland desires
to recommend his candidacy to the favorable
consideration of the farmers of the state.
