William E. Graham, of The Meriden Republican, died last Sunday morning af- ter long illness from consumption. aged 46 years. He had been seriously ill for about two hears past. About six months ago he went to Colorado Springs and re- mained there until a month ago, when, despairing of recovery, he returned home, where he remained until his death. MT. Graham had been a resident of Meriden for twenty-one years, and for eighteen years editor of The Republican. He was vigorous and ready writer, particularly on political subjects.

THE Charleston, which left San Fran cisco in quest of the escaped insurgent Chilian steamer Itata, last Friday steam ed-into the Mexican port, Acapulco. Here she found the insurgent war vessel, Es- meralda, supposed to be waiting to con- voy the Itata. The Charleston took on coal and steamed out again after the lta- ta, leaving the Esmeralda effectively bot tied up, as the Mexican government re- fuses to allow that vessel to take coal, not recognizing the assumed government which sends out the Itata and Esmeralda. The chances of the Charleston finding the Itata are far fl om being assured.

The workman takes the crooked stick

NOTES FROM PILGRIM.

Mr. EDITOR We number about

county president, president and
chairman of the executive committee
all in our Sub Alliance. which is q little
over two years old.
We are band of workers all work

welfare of the Order.

1891, Bro. Joe +. Leonard Cf our ALI
ance, had the misfortune to lose his
barn by fire, in which were consumed
two valuable horses, one COW and all
his wheat, farming tools. &c. Our
worthy sub president called a meeting
and out of tWenty-nine members pres
ent, the sum OttwO hundred and thirty
four dollars were subscribed, and il q
few DAYS Bro Leonard will have a new
barn. the lumber for which Is on the
ground and the carpenters are at
work, all members Of our Sub Alliance ;
after which his barn will be filled with
prOyender for the winter, and the Bro
viii be set up pretty near where he
was. The origin Of the fire is un-
known It was either the work Of an
incendiary or it may have been done
bE the car6lPssness of hunters with
open lights. Pilgrim Alliance also has
q brother who has been sick all the fall
ami unable to gather his crop Of corn.
The brethren set q day last week and
all went with lunch baskets and teams,
pulled, hauled, shucked and cribbed
the brothers corn for him The fore
going is the way we do up business in
our SubAlliance. Our charity begins
at home, but we do not let it stop
there, and whenever duty calls we are
ever ready to lend helping hand if
ability will admit, provided we are
certain that the charity which should
begin at home, has begun with the
proper spirit and ability.

ALLIANCEMENI THE EAST ARE
TRUE TO THE ORDER.

Mr.. F.DITOR:-W Of the Alliance in
this part Of the State, would like to
know if the uniting of Alliancenen
with the Democratic Executive Com
mittee, in Raleigh, q short while since,
was not I'm constitutional" Doubt
less the politicians thought, by having
such a uniting, it would have a ten
dency to drive Republicans out of the
Alliance, and at the same time furnish
argument for the politician to use with
our Republican brethren Of the West
to convince them that the Alliance
III the South is run by the Democratic
party" not that the Democratic party
will be run by the Alliance, and that
the N lin object is to break up the Re
publican party in the West. Not so,
brethren in the West. The Alliance
men Of North Carolina will prove true
to the principles Of our Order, AMI will
not be led by anyone however pr0ni-
nent, into any political course or action
not in accordance with the Ocala de
mands
1t is to be regretted that any Of our
hOnOred brethren should have given
the prestige and influence Of their
names, as Alliancemen, to such a
course.
a few words as to the remaining of
Democracy and Republicanism: Those
two words, in the abstract, remain the
ame-government by the people for
the public good-in the concrete, or
partisan sense. Democracy means a
tariff for revenue, preservation OF
State governments, etc, while Repub,
ticanism means tariff for protection,
a strong central government, etc, but
as practical national politics they are
Synonymous, aud mean that the dollar,
and not the citizen, shall be sovereign
that the laborer who produces the
wealth Of the country shall be the
slave Of the plutocrat, who collects
and apprOpTiateS to his own use the
fruits Of the labOrer's honest toll. 1t
is time that all of the laboring and
producing people had laid aside their
differences over these two words, and
united, as we have in the Alliance, for
the public's good, and secure to the
labOrer the first rewards of honest toll.
God speed the day when the rule OF
plutocracy, by the aid Of political
trickery and bOssism, shall pass away,
and the sovereign people shall regain
control Of their government. We be
