WASHINGTON LETTER.

The Representatives in Congress elected
by the Alliance have come to a wise con-
clusion. They have determined to separate
themselves entirely from either of the old
parties, organizing, and offering their own
candidates for all the elective offices Of the
House Of Representatives. This is method
adopted by Alliance leaders to test the sin
certify of the Democrats, who were elected
under pledges to the Alliance. The roll of
the House of Representatives contains the
names of sixteen men who were elected as
Alliance men, and of forty-two others who
were elected, after pledges to the Alliance,
as Democrats. The Alliance leaders pro-
pose to see whether these Democratic ALI.
ance men will stand by the pledges they
made or not. They have decided 10 place
Mr.. John q. Otis, of the Fourth Kansas
District, in nomination for Speaker with
Gen. Jas. B. Weaver. of Iowa, for Clerk,
the Hon. G. w. McClammy, ex-Represen-
tative, Door-keeper John w. Hall for
Eergeant-at arms, and Ralph Beaumont, a
prominent Labor leader, for Postmaster.
III the Democrats elected through Alliance
assistance propose 10 stand by the party
which sent them TO Congress they will have
the opportunity, and if they do not propose
to do il they will be routed at the next
election, and genuine Alliance candidates
will be sent in their place.

their circle, taught to many what
blessedness there is in the religion OF
Christ, worthy lived. Mr.. Ewing
was a staunch defender of the faith
of his forefathers. sturdy Scotch
Presbyterians.
Six years ago, Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing
came South, hoping the change
would prove beneficial to the former,
and for many months he improved.
The last year of his life was spent
in Scottsboro, until two months ago,
they went up to Ferncliff. hopiog the
pure air and mineral waters of our
beautiful mountain resort would
bring healing to the invalid-but
there the end came, and his blind
eyes were opened to the beatic Wis
ions of the Life Eternal.
The Alliance is everywhere gain
ing ground. In Mississippi where
Senator George made such bitter
fight against Alliance measures, it is
now claimed that two Alliance United
States Senators will be elected, and
that Senator George will be elected
to tarry at home. In Kentucky the
Alliance vote carried the constitution
by 10000 majority and the legisla
ture by 26 majority, and if Carlisle's
election had been postponed till the
legislature of next winter meets he
too would have stayed at home.
John Sherman is sure to be beaten
by the Alliance in Ohio. In Kansas
the Alliance has added $4,000 to it's
membership since last November and
one of the Republican members elect.
ed to Congress has joined the ALI.
ance since, giving that State six
Alliance Congressman. Senator
Plumb of Kansas may be safely
counted on the Alliance side, which
is. virtually two Alliance Senators
from that State. Wherever elections
are held in the West and South, and
U. S. Senators to be elected, the in
dications are that the Alliance will
carry all before it, and a general
stampede set in from the old parties
after the November election. There
ought to be sent from Maryland two
Alliance U. S. Senators, and at the
rate the tide is setting in we would
aot be surprised if such should take
place.
This brings US face to face with
the situation in Cecil, and the dis.
satisfaction which the nominations
for the legislature on both tickets
has created, urges the nominating of
a farmers ticket at the Woodlawn
Farmers Meeting. The old adage
"whom the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad, seems to have hap
pened at the old party conventions,
especially the Republican conven
sion which was held last week. The
bosses who had set up the business
for the money offices, cared nothing
for the legislative part of the tickets
and pitched them to the chronic
office hunters and masters of the
kennels with the unconcern and haste
of the cook who shakes out the frag-
ments of the breakfast table, glad to
get rid of the barnacles that had
been clingipg to the skirts of the
parties for years. And this is the
insult to the tax payers and better
element Of the county by the boss
owned parties, which appeals to the
manhood and self respect of every
voter without regard to party pro-
or utilization.

Asleep in Jesus.

The following beautiful obituary
tribute to the late Ambrose Ewing
we copy from the Scottsboro, Gala
Citizen.]
At Ferncliff. the summer resort
near Scottsboro, Ala, on Aug. 5th
1891, Ambrose Ewing, a native O
Cecil county. Maryland, departed
this life, at the age of fifty.sever
years, SIX months.
In the "Smith Cottage" near the
cliffss where, in Mr.. Ewing's OWE
words day or SO previous to his
death "the happiest summer of my
life' was spent, Rev. D. W. Ward
held a simple, impressive service
over the dead, reposing in beautiful
casket, covered with floral offerings
The choir, which Mrs. Ewing's
sweet voice is wont to lead, sang to
comfort their bereayed friend, the
the dear hymn of the church. "Asleep
in Jesus" Peculiarly appropriate
was the final verse:
s Asleep in Jesus far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wake to weep.
Then through the waving banners
of green corn, friends reverently bore
the mortal remains of Mr.. Ewing,
back into the quiet woods where
plumy ferns nod dreamily and only
birds of the wildwood break the
silence with their sweetest songs,
they laid him to rest. Sentinel oaks
guard the sacred spot, the pines
chant their solemn requiem, and
"after life's fitful fever he sleeps
well"-sleeps not on the Chesapeake
shore with his forefathers, where his
loved ones wish, but on the mountain
top here where the icy hand of the
death angel touched him. There is
on earth 70 lovelier spot to slumber
in till the morn of the resurrection.
God seems always nearer to us on
the mountains-He and the angels
chose Moses burial place there-and
on the mountain tops has God visibly
appeared to HIS people.
Mr. Ewing was born vnd reared on
the eastern shore of Maryland, where
for number of years he was lead
ing merchant, owning and residing
in the ancestral home "Point of
Rock" on lands belonging to his
family since bought from Lord Bal
timore, under his original grant in
1852. In 1867, in Hollidaysburg,
Pa, Mr.. Ewing married the gifted
and cultivated Miss Juniata Banks,
daughter of a prominent lawyer and
jurist of that city, who, with three
children, two daughters and son,
survive him. After six years of great
prosperity and domestic happiness,
Mr.. Ewing was smiLten with blind
ness, the result of a paralytic stroke.
For eighteen years he bad been an
invalid, nursed with devotion, touch

faithful wife. The blind man, suffer.

Centreville Wants an improvements

To the Editor of the Floridian:
wish to call the attention of the proper
authorities to the bad condition of our
county roads. Under the operation of the
present road law we have in our section
Jared badly at the hands of the road COM
missioners" Some of the roads which
have had the name Of being worked have
been worked at, but none have had such
work as they used to get under the old sys-
tenn. One road especially over which the
United States mail is carried every day has
never been touched since the new law went
into operation, and is now in very bad con
dition, and has been for more than year.
1 refer to the road from Bradfordville to
Cent? evlle; this is very important road
and is travelled over very much.
The road law is radically defective, and
however much it might be adapted tC
some parts of the state, it does not suit
for this part of the country. We are
taxed to the utmost extent to pay fol-
work which we do not get. The Law
should be amended or repealed and some
thing more practical adopted in it's place
