We have lately re-read Senator
Leland Stanford's land-loan bill It
seems to us, that if the measure was
generally understood by the masses
that congress would be compelled to
make it a law. It is a sound economy,
and would certainly result in great
good to the people. It is necessary and
will triumph. -Thomasville (Ala) AL

Has anybody seen anything in any
of the ''great dailies' concerning the
recent Endorsement of the Ocala plat
form by the state alliances of Califor-
MIA, Kansas, Michigan, Indiana and
Florida? Has this item escaped the at
tention of the news gatherers? They
told us all about the division of senti-

I'm 1865 our national debt could
have been paid with Is, 600, 900 bales of

When the debt had been decreased

qnired 80, 600, 900 bales Of cotton or 80,

what an ''honest' dollar can do when
the metal base of it is within the reach

The order in Arkansas is doing well.
All the old differences between the
several organizations have been salts
factorily arranged, by the unselfish and

they have all united under the banner
of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial

for the principles of the order. This
state is also fortunate in having excel

their full duty in the interest Of re-

The See of GaIilce.

The lake of Genesarcth, called also
the Sea of Galilee, ETC.. situated in
Palestine, sixty-fve miles north of the
Dead Sea, is pear-shaped. The great
est width is six and quarters
miles; its extreme length is fifteen
miles. The Jordan enters it muddy
at the north and passes out clear at
the south. The natural features of the.
lake are neither various nor especially
attractive. The chief interest con.
nected with it is that Christ passed
much of his time on its shores. III

They Fear the Alliance Will Destroy Itself

As preparations for next years great
political campaign becomes more
numerous, the question becomes more
pertinent as to what part the Farmers
Alliance will play in it. or whether it
will play separate part at all A
question that has already arisen, too,
in the minds of a great many OBJ
servers of public events is whether or
not the alliance is on the decline, and is
likely soon to disintegrate. Senator
John T. Morgan, of Alabama-whoha has
always been friendly to the alliance,
though he has taken sharp political is
sue with its financial platform-con-
tributes an article to the November
Forum, in which he undertakes to
throw light on these inquiries. He

time opponents against the alliance and
support three republican candidates
for representative. In Kansas num-
Der of judges were nominated by a
fusion of democrats and rep ublicans to
defeat the peoples candidates. In the
Tenth congressional district of New
York the republicans Endorsed the
democratic nominee. In Ohio, Gov.
Campbell said: 'If you can't vote
for me, vote for Mckinley" The New
York Sun says: eff democrat cannot
be elected senator in Ohio, by all means
return John Sherman" All this goes
to show that the two old parties are
going to join issues in an effort to de-
feat the reform movement as their
only hope for existence, and, if sue
cessful, divide as before on the same
old lines and continue their work of
oppression and deception. This con-
dition of affairs must obtain before
any true reform can be successful. It
is the natural outcome of the perfect
work of education. BY joining together
in this manner the two old parties dis
close the hollow mockery of their pro-
fessions, and it is positive proof of their
hypocrisy and deceit Such action will
tend to disgust and drive into the re-
form movement many honest and indie
pendent members of both parties, who
place country above party and the well

upon such methods is to force the peo-

FIAT MONEY.

An Old Chestnut Simmarily Disposed of

A correspondent of the Farm. Stock
and Home, signing himself "An Old
Farmer" disposes of an extremely
aged chestnut in very pointed and
comprehensive manner. He says:
zone of our northwestern agricult-
ural papers cautions farmers. and asked
them to study the question of paper or
fat money, and asks: Can govern
ment make value out of something
worthless, and should not paper
money, to be at all used, be redeem
able in something having value?' I
would like to ask the youth who
penned that article if the credit of the
government is not Of value, if paper
money is pledged by the government
to pay all government debts and
demands. why is it not as good as
individual notes? What makes gold,
silver, copper and other stuff
more valuable if not the gov
eminent stamp? Suppose our
government should refuse to put
the money stamp on the metals now in
use, would they be worth as much a
pound as stamped? The writer quoted
from does not seem to understand the
point made by advocates of paper
money alone. We believe that money
should be simply convenience in max
ing exchanges Of products, that the
values are in the products we wish to
use, and not in the money itself. Such
paper being guaranteed by the govern
ment and accepted for all government
dues, would simply make it safer and
more convenient than individual, or
city, or state notes Gold is not plenty
enough for basis of circulation, and
not being plenty enough, gives oppor-
tunities Of control to those who would
ruin others for their own gain"

The republican party carries Lyon
county. The peoples party apparently
loses 800 votes. Last year the demo-
Gratis and resubmission republicans
voted with the peoples party. This
year the republican party was thorough
~ united and nearly all the democrats
voted the straight republican ticket.
The entire republican ticket is elected
in Lyon county by majorities ranging
from $50 to 500. A feature of the cleo
ton was the voting of the democrats,
a large majority of whom not only
voted the republican ticket, but actu-
ally made a vigorous canvass in its be-
half. A laughable incident occurred

AN HONEST DOLLAR.

It Surely Is Not the Republican Bob-Tail
Dollar Which IL Not Legal Tender Except
BY Contract.
The republican gold-bug press are
harping about an ''honest dollar" and
Mr.. Harrison remarked the other day
that the people of this country wanted
dollar that was always as good as
any other dollar" This kind of stuff
is got off by way of insinuation that
the peoples party want dishonest dol
lar, or a dollar that is not as good as
any other dollar. while as matter of
fact the only dollars that could by any
stretch of the Imagination be consid-
cred dishonest have been made so by
the action of the republican party
alone. The silver dollar has not been
changed an iota since it was issued
under our first coinage law passed
April Q, 1892. The amount of pure
silver in the dollar is exactly the
same as it was then. If it is not
worth so much as commodity in the
markets., its surreptitious demonetiza-
ton by the republican party in 1878 is
the sole cause of that fact, and it's re-
monetization would at once restore it
to its full value. At the time it was
demonetized the silver in the silver
dollar was worth three per cent more
than the gold in the gold dollar. These
facts prove conclusively that the repub-
lican party is alone responsible for the
present situation of silver
But the republican party has put an
other dollar in circulation which is the
nearest approach of wildcat money of
any that has been issued since the war,
and which comes very near filling the
definition of dishonest dollar. It is
in the form of treasury note in which
the United Stated promises to pay
the bearer one dollar in coin, which
so far is very good. But on the
back of it is this legend: This note
is legal tender for all debts public
and private, except where otherwise
specified in the contract This is a
republican bob-tailed dollar. It will
not pay debt unless the debtor and
creditor can agree. The creditor can
exact discount on it if he pleases, and
that is just what the gold-bug banks
will be doing before the year is out.
And this is the kind of money that a
republican billion dollar congress and
Wall street gold-bug president is is
suing to the people, at the same time
dinging into their ears fusillade of
ridicule about their demand for a dis
honest dollar. Give us rest.-Lincoln

 The Paris correspondent of the Lon don Times says: "The famous Pom peian palace of the Avenue Montaigne, built by the late Prince Napoleon, has just been sold by it's owner, Count Palffy of Hungary, to NJ. Porges, who is about to pull it down for the con struction of private house. The site originally belonged to Mile. Mars of the Theater Francais, and the archi- itect, who is now a member of the in- stitute, NJ. Normand, designed his plans after the famous house of bio mede at Pompeii and that belonging to the poet Pansa. The house. about which clusters number of memories, sometimes odorous of the Roman deca- dence, is associated with the names of Theophile, Gautier, Nestor Roqueplan, Arsene Houssaye, Sainte Beuve, and Paul de Saint Victor. There were played Anglers pretty comedies, 'Le Joueur de Flute and La Femme de Nicomede.' After the sale of the house in 1866 to the Comte de Quinsonnas for six hundred thou sand francs it was bought by NM. de Lesseps, de Beauregard, and Arsene Houssaye, for the purpose of a museum.

the propriety Of inviting the State

ing next year in Laurens and OF
extending the invitation at the

late in April. IIaurens knows how
to entertain royalty, and we be-
lieve that the city and the editors

each other.
There Is every reason to believe
that tie dear brethren would come;
they have all read of Laurcns, and
her OIL mill, her iron foundry, her
graded school and Of her great
