The Appeal-Avalanche OF Mem
phis reports that Senator
Georges prospects of reelection
next year are improving:
"The ardor of the Sub-Treasury
advocates is subsiding in Missippi
and the public sentiment rapidly
crystallizing into the belief that
Senator George should be kept in
the United States Senate as long
as he is willing to serve"
Thename of Mr.. George will new
er be forgotten in the South and
pan ticularly in Mississippi. The
people honor him for the services,
alone, that he rendered in defeat
ing the Force bill. His name
stands high on the list of the
heroes of that great fight which
Senator German, associated with
Senator Ransom of this State
ed and won for Democratic
principles.

THE SOUTHERN ALLIANCE
DEMOCRAT.

We have made mention before
of the letter that Col. Livingston
wrote relative to the South par
ticipating in the "third party"
movement in Cincinnati. When
he said that the Southern States
would stick 10 the Democratic
party it was like a bomb shell
falling, in the Western Alliance
Circles.
Col. Livingston is recognized
throughout the Southland as a
true, conservative Democrat and
Allianceman, nevertheless he is
not alone in this sentiment of
coincidence between these two
elements. 1t is almost the unan-
nous sentiment of the South.
Governor Tillman of South
Carolina understood thoroughly
the wants and wishes of his AL
lance constituents when he said:
al am a democrat pure and sim
pie, l believe in fighting for re-
forms inside of the party lines,
and nothing outside of them, and
l believe any attempt to organ
ize a third party in this State, or
in the South, would be an abso-
lutte failure!''

OUR REUNITED COUNTRY.

At recent banquet in New
York City, the prineipalspeech OF
the evening was made by the well
known banker, MIR. Frederick
Taylor. The occasion was the
celebration of General Grants
birthday. In referring to the
war career of the General and of
the subsequent years, he spoke
feelingly of the union now exist
ing between the sections and in
the course of his address said:
ga few weeks ago it was per-
mitted me to attend a banquet III
East Tennessee-the very heart
of what was once the so-called
southern confederacy. The COM
pany was made up about equally
of northern and southern men
as many who had worn the gray
as had worn the blue. The
chairman of the evening, appre-
ciating the rare combination,
called to their feet, alternately,
the old soldiers of either side,
federal and confederate, as pieces
are pushed forward on the chess
board-first white and then a
red, now a knight and again q
dawn.
"For a while the affair pro-
crossed in the usual way, but un-
der the inspiration of it's SO pc
culiar conditions, it ere long de-
veloped into a sort of love feast.
The men who had faced each
other with hate in their eyes and
death in their hearts, hobnobbe6
like dear old friends and together
rehearsed their erstwhile oppos-
ing experience. They We'd with
each other in assertion ofloyalty
to the republic and at every
specially patriotic appeal, wheth-
er by ii representative of the
north or south, they united in
cheering the speaker to the echo,
and in waving the flags, the
stars and stripes, with which the
room and tables were profusely
decorated"

A BILLION DIMES LOOKED UP

A Treasury official of Washing
ton speaking of the embarrass-
ment the dime pocket savings
banks are causing the Treasury
Department, is quoted as saying
that it is estimated that there
are 81, 100000 in dimes hidden
awag in these pocket banks to-
day, and there appears to be no
way to draw upon this reserve
until the bank is glutted to it's
full capacity. 1t is getting to be
a craze.
1t is estimated that Is per cent.
of the dimes that were in circula-
ton three months ago have been
banked in these little tubular de-
positories, and the cry is for
more.
The craze has effected the cities,
too. Baltimore, New York
Philadelphia, and other CONNER
cial towns are sorely put to it
for change of this unit of value.
This demand is giving the bank
cashiers and Sub-Treasurers a
great deal of worry, for it re-
quires three expert clerks a whole
day to count $4,000 in this
sort of money.

HOW 1T STANDS.

"The Southern States will
probably become more solidly
Democratic than ever. In fact,
it looks very much as though
Northern Republicans do not
want anything in the South.
There does not seem to be any
organization"
The above is an editorial clip
ping from the Greensboro North
State (Rep.) Editor Boyd, it is
seen, is not averse to the unfavor-
able criticisms of the present Adj
ministration and his head is en-
tirely too level to hope, even, for
a further gain of Republican in
fuence in National politics. The
jig is up and he knows it. Even
the west, where heretofore has
been the chiefpower of the Repub-
lican party is now disorganized
by the ''third party issue. And
what influence will this question
have in the Republican camps?
The Alliance people, the labor
organizations, and the different
combinations of crank philoso-
piers and statesmen in the West
ern Republican States, who will
all vote for the "thi-.d party"
candidates, will be drawn chiefly
from the Republican ranks; and
it now seems possible that such
States as Kansas, Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, and Minnesota may give
their electoral votes to the Demo-
cratic candidate for President,
owing to the weakening of the
Republicans through the with
drawal of these elements that
until 1890 were solid and Jealous
supporters of the Republican
cause.
On the other hand, the South
ern Democrats have nothing to
do with the issue and are re-
lying upon the good Judgement
and integrity of the Southern
Farmers who are allied to the
fundamental principals of Demo-
cracy. The campaign of'92 will,
then, be an ineEectual one for the
present Administration.

THE SOUTH NOT IN 1T.

A "third party" convention
assembled in Cincinnati Tuesday.
This convention was called by
the president of the Kansas
State Alliance and has 70. its aim,
if we understand it correctly, the
formal entrance of the Farmers
Alliance and other allied organ
izations into politics by u socalled
"third party" Col. Livingston,
President of the Georgia State Ali
ance, some days since wrote q very
decided letter, stating that the
Georgia Alliance was notin SYM
pathy Or accord with any such
movement. Other Southern
State Alliances have adopted res
olutions against such u move
ment.
The conference at Cincinnati
upon the subject of third party
is not, therefore, the device Of
Southern Alliance men, who see
no safety for the interests of their
section in a division of the demo-
cratic party-the party of home
rule. 1t is the device of the al
lance men of the Northwest and
West. The Kansas farmers, re-
puDlicans at bottom, cannot
hiring themselves readily to cp-
operate with the farmers of the
South as long as the latter are
avowed acknowledgements
first and alliance men afterward.
They are fighting the republican
machine of Kansas, but they
would feel better if they could at
the same time keep up the old
fight against the democrats.
That they are converts to the
democracy is as for AS possible
from being the TACT. What they
have at heart, on the contrary,
is to convert the Southern ALI
ance men from democracy to
something else,, and this third
party is the something else that
seems tn mostpracticable. The
centre of the new movement is in
Kansas. The South is not in it.

The Municipal affairs of Phils

The Municipal affairs of Phila
delphia are always in a rangle.
This time the city treasurer is
charged with accomplicity in the
recent Keystone Bank sensation.
The sum of $441 900, belonging
to the city was deposited be-
sides the State funds amounting
to $4,000 making a grand
total of public POUNDS 81, 371,-
500.
Gidean w. Marsh, the president
of the now defunct bank is a
fugitive. Several rewards it
seems, have been offered for his
arrest though as yet without
avail. 1t has been rumored
that his wife accompanied him to
prevent, if possible, what she APP
prehended-suicide. Mr.. Bordsley,
the treasurer of Philadelphia
goes as yet free from the law.
Strong talk of arrest, however,
is current. He is stern it is said,
and determined to meet the
worse.
The whole affair is a tangled
one and presents many phases Of
raseality, reaching back for years
in the past.

THE EXPOSITION AT RALEIGH

Of course Winston is going to
have the best display that will
be made at the Exposition of the
Southern Interstate Immigration
Bureau at Raleigh this fall. We
say of course because the COM
munity has formally said SO
through it's Chamber of Com
merce. 1t will be a good adver-
tisement for our interests among
many cities. 1t will set people
to talking about us and coming
to see us and that is all we want.
He who once drinks of our
spring will come again.
But what we started out to
say was that it is time for us to
be making preparations. The
harvest is almost upon us.
Forsyth must prove again her
superiority in small grain, grasses
etc. Then the small fruits are
now ripening. The good house
wives must prepare and exhibit
their finest preserves and canned
fruits and vegetables. We must
not say if we had only thought
of it we could have done SO and
SD. We must think of it and
have no omissions in our lists.
Our tobacco interests will be
looked after as will our manu-
featured articles Of every sort.
The perishable articles that are
in season now or that are COM
ming into season claim our first
attention. The premiums will
more than repay any expense
and it ought to be a realpleasure
to help maintain the high char
acter of this blessed land.

Gov. Holt has issued q commun-
ication to the County Commits
sioners and Justices OF the Peace
in North Carolina calling atten-
ton to a resolution passed by
the recent Industrial Convention
held in Raleigh.
The resolution provides that
the commissioners be requested to
have every county in the State
fully and completely represented
at the Southern Industrial Expo
sition inA October and Novem-
Der. These exhibits will, without
extra cost, be taken to the
Worlds Exposition in Chicago
in 1898.
We believe that every county in
North Carolina can send q credita-
bleexhibit; one that will do credit
to the county and to the State
at large.
The advantages and resources
of North Carolina have never
been shown in their true and best
light. The State is beginning to
abound freely with manufactur-
ing establishments, while the soil
contains some of the best and
largest per cent. mineral ore in
the South.
It would be with a feeling of
pride, indeed, INDUCED in by every
true North Carolinian who at.
tends the Exhibition, There, they
can see North Cardinals exhibits,
the centre OF attraction and adj
miratiOn.

ANr1-K1ss1Na FAD1N BOSTON

The latest Boston fad is severely
restrictive of kissing. A man and
his wife were arrested several days
ago by prudish policeman for kiss
ing while waiting in doorway for
a street car. The car very probably
was slow, SO they thought to while
away the time with a kiss. One
would suppose husband might be
permitted to kiss his own wife or a
wife her husband even on the street,
but the Boston police judge before
whom the couple were hailed excused
the policeman on the ground that the
proceeding was an Unusual" one.
It was not, however, he intimated,
a distinctly criminal act = criminal
for husband and wife to kiss and
hence he would order their discharge.
Think of a policeman's sensibilies be-
ing shocked by having to witness an
innocent connubial kiss, and of a
judge who sympathized with him to
the extent of discharging the couple
with apparent reluctance and an in
timation that they mustn't do it again.
Can it be that kissing is so rare in
Boston that it produces a mental
shock when seen by the shrinking
bystanders? 1t would be cruel res
Election on the charms of Boston girls
to harbor such an idea.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
The Cincinnati Convention Take d
AhOut-OtheF News.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90
There seems to be q great many
people here and elsewhere who think
General Green B. Raum and his hope
full son would find plenty of room in
what is known as the Department of
the Exterior" 1t is certainly the i'm
preston that the Interior Depart
ment ought not to keep either of
them any longer.
The President is taking an active
interest in the financial condition of
the Treasury and has directed that
he be furnished with an estimate of
the probable revenue from all sources
for the next fiscal year, based on the
changes made by the last Congress
in the customs and internal revenue
laws. The customs receipts show a
continual falling of; the receipts from
this source by a statement at the
Treasury, issued Thursday, for the
first twenty days in May, being less
at the port of New York by 81 $780,
934 than they were for the CORES
ponding period fast May.
The Treasury statement shows
that the Treasury holds, May 20,
$262,O57, 483 in gold bullion and
coin, being decrease since the first
of the month of more than $12, OOO,-
600, and since the LIST of January of
more than $50, 100000.
1t is generally believed here that
Col. L. L. Polk is working for the
Presidential nomination at the hands
of the Third Party. He was snub-
bed in the convention, it is learned,
when he attempted co delay the for
NAL formation of the SO called party.
When he is working in Polk s interest
he is shrewd enough. He saw, as ev-
cry practical wire-puller here sees,
that the Third Party, as now formed,
cannot stick together twelve months.
Polk knows one thing; the farmers in
this country not only represent the
Drawn but also the brain of our peo-
pie. They will follow demagogues
while they are too busy or iEdiffer-
ent to do their own thinking, but
when the farmer chooses to use his
horse sense, the demagogues might
as well retire. He might as well
fiaunt a red rag at c mad bull and
ask the bull to keep quiet. When the
farmer thinks for himself he acts for
himself. l never knew q typical
farmer who did not have the courage
of his convictions. Col. Polk knew
this when he planned to spring the
Third Party business ON them unex-
pectedly, and get the nomination
himself. But the mixture in the late
Cincinnati convention proved too
much for him, and there will be a
shade of anxiety in his countenance
now when he strolls around the White
House grounds and thinks how com
Portable he would be there for four
years with no house rent to pay!
