Publications Of Value to the Order.
The demands of the Farmers Alliance
have been so thoroughly discussed within
the last year that it is now time to
take up each one of the demands and
historically treat them and carefully an
alyze same. The most exhaustive treat
ment of any one of the demands is the
sub-treasury plan, which is treated in the
June and July numbers Of the Library of
National Economist Extras, published by the
National Economist Publishing Co..
Washington, d. c. 1t gives the origin
of the plan, the causes for it, and a full
and complete answer to all arguments
urged against it. 1t proves the plan to
be the only measure to relieve the de-
pressed agriculturist; that it is not class
legislation, and it is constitutional.
These numbers should be in the hands of
every member OF the order, and every Of
ticer OF the lodge should, by all means,
be supplied with copy.
The publication of Library of National
Economist Extras, has done much toward
enlightening the people on the issues
now before them.
The Political Ticker will be another
valuable publication. This book has
been prepared with the greatest care and
very large outlay of money. 1t gives
the people the vote on all important
questions from 1860 up to date. 1t gives
the name of the voters. the name of the
party with which he affiliates, and the
State he is from. This number is des-
tined to be one of the greatest compain
documents put in print. 1t tells the story
the truth is backing it up-no going be-
hind the official records. The price of
this monthly publication is $50 Der

ing the Political Ticker, can be had for

The GOLD LEAF has always spoken
in advocacy of the citizens of town
speaking well of it. We do not like
to see people speak disparagingly OF
a place to which they are indebted for
their living-for being all they are it
may be. 1t does not look right.
There is something wrong some where,
and it generally lies with the individuals
themselves. As the Germantown In
AebenAent says, a good motto fol
business men and others everywhere
to paste in their hats and live up to in
the fullest sense of the word, would be,
sDon't run down your town. Con
tinuing that paper says:
Instead OF booming their town
whenever opportunity presents itsel
to do SO, many people seem to ex
perience real delight in administering
a black eye to the place where they
have made all the money that they
own in the world and where they have
been singularly successful in business
Perhaps the town is not large man
ufacturing city nor can it ever affair
that dignity, possibly, but business car
be stimulated and encouraged by the
united and unselfish efforts of our bust
ness people to advance in every chan
mel the towns interests. If you
cannot say good word for your town

State Failures.

EDITOR GOLD LEAF-In State pros
ecutions if the State fails to convict
the accused, from want of evidence or
any other cause, it is called Estate
failure For such cases clerks, witnesses
and others get only ''half fees" Why
is this the case: 1t is 4 principle laid
down in HOLY Writ that the ''laborer
is worthy of his hire The principle
applies is civil as we'll as in religious
matters. While it is our duty to obey
the " higher powers it is the duty of
the State to render to ..all their dues"
The State has no more right to withhold
from citizens their dues than they have
to cheat the State. If it is necessary
for the good of society that violators
of law be taught obedience in courts
of justice loyal citizens should not be
taxed to pay their fees in prosecutions.
The entire State should foot the bill,
not the poor witness who IS compelled
to neglect his matters at home to serve
the State. If it is essential to the
sspeace and dignity of the State that
| criminals be convicted and punished
the State ought to show her own ''dig-
| nity'' by treating with justice those
she compels to testify in her behalf.
| It is true the State has the right to
demand the services of her citizens on
the field of battle or in courts of JUS
tice but Saint Paul taught the duty
| Of paying them for their services. He
| very significantly asks, s. What soldier
| ever serveth at his own charges 20
When called on to render service to his
country his country ought to respect his
| rights. The ''half pay feature is not
| the worst feature in the matter.
On one occasion after sitting around
| the court house, Qiable to be fined If
I failed to answer when called) waiting
for the case in which 1 was summoned
to be taken up, was coolly told that
':the State only pays two witnesses to
prove one fact Ofcourse I got moth
ing and left feeling that the State that
would act in that way has but little
I" dignity'' worth preserving. The
criminal is prosecuted for appropriating
to his own use what does not belong
to him. And what constitutes the
honor of the State in taking from me
my services in the army OF the court
house without remuneration !? Citizens
have feelings and rights which should
be respected and it does not increase
their love and respect for the State
that disregards them. If the State
needs my services in repelling an in
vading foe as in prosecuting criminals
in courts of justice she ought to love
them. 1t is the duty of all good citi
zens to aid in maintaining the "peact
and dignity Of the State. While sucf
is the case the State should have "dig
nity'enough to see that those wht
serve her "get their dues A legis
lator that sits in his cushioned chat
voting to deprive honest witnesses o
their pay in estate failures,'' SHOULD
stay at home until he learns to respec
and protect the rights of those for who's
good he pretends to legislate. Whel
a man renders full services it is no
right to pay him only "half FEES o
no fees at all. r. w. H.

THE PRESS CONVENTION.

The pleasure of meeting our breth-
rem of the Prcss-of forming new &C
quaintances and strengthening the ties
of existing friendships-is one of the
chief delights of our annual meetings.
How refreshing, how inspiring it is to
be with them-all We return to our
work with greater zeal and love for it,
with higher aspirations and ambitions,
and more devoted to the profession
that claims the attention, talents and
energies of such men as are connected
with the Press of North Carolina.
For several years we have not had
the pleasure of greeting that staunch
and astute veteran of the Faber, Col.
K. B. CreeCy, of the Elizabeth City
Economist Falcon, and it was hoped
he would be with us this year at Win
stCdSalem. He was not there but he
sent letter of greeting and good
wishes which was read to the conven-
ton and ordered to be printed with
the minutes. Writing of the Press
Convention, Col. Creecy says:
This important body, which we re.
gard as second to none in influence
for good in our State, has adjourned
and the editors seem to have had a
delightful time and enjoyed the liberal
hospitality of the twin cities of Win.

in every way that could contribute tc
their happiness and the banquet which
was spread in their honor by the Citi
zenS of the enterprising towns, was ;
grand success. The programme o
entertainments was fully carried GU
and the intellectual part of the enter
tainment was in keeping with the ma
terlal repast.

LET US CALL A HALT.

The Marion Free Lane talks sense
when it protests against the too pre-
valent spirit of iElpugning mems
motives which is observable of late.
1t remarks that if an editor criticizes
the action of any Alliance leader, some
fool gets up and shouts, "You are
abusing the Alliance;' or if an honest
editor finds in the course of a promi-
nent Allianceman something to COM
mend, some fool gets up and shouts,
"You are catering to the Alliance"
This protest is timely. This is a
free country and editors have a right
TO the same treatment that is accorded
to criminals. e. the presL nption
that they are innocent until found
guilty. There are, doubtless, corrupt
newspapers that are actuated by base
motives, but newspaper ought to be
judged by the trend OF its whole course.
Let us call halt, and let us have
more faith in our fellow men-Statf
Chronicle.
Mighty good preaching, and prac-
tlcing it, like charity, should begin at
home.

In his account of the Press Associa-
ton, speaking of the excursion given
us over the Roanoke & Southern Rail
road by Col. F. H. Fries, Jim Cook,
of the Concord Standard, gets off the
following on the jovial, good natured
Roscower, of the Goldsboro Headlight:
The train stopped at Mayo Falls, and
an engine came up behind and pulled
US back. Roscower, of the Goldsboro
Headlight, wanted to know how the
engine was gotten around to the other
end there being no turn-table. A
friend told Roscower that the engine
was led around through the woods and

thereof. He says:

WE hope brother London, of the
Plttsboro Record, did not intend any
reflection upon the editors in and
around the estate of Wilkes" when
ne said what he did about the crowd
gathering at North Wilkesboro to see
some real live editors when the men,
bers of the Press Association meet
over there. He says:
Upon our arrival the Wilkesboro
brass band welcomed us with their
sweetest strains, and the inhabitants of
the surrounding country for many miles
had assembled in large numbers to be-
| mold sight never before beheld by
them-to see some ice e.Htors. In

agerle of wild animals would have
more greatly excited the curiosity of
some OF those wandering spectators

Advices from Washington state that

the country will be called upon for a
million or more, and if the flight OF
gold eagles is not thick enough to OBJ
scure the light Of truth and honesty, it
will be due to the efforts of the De-
mocracy. The Australian ballot sys-
tenn will prevent the use of this money
in the direct purchase of votes, but
there is nothing to keep it from being
expended in the corruption of the mer-

THEODORE B. kINGSBURY. LII. L

THEODORE B. kINGSBURY, LII. D..
Editor Fairbrother, of the Durham
Giobe, who is something of a genius
and scholar himself, bright, saucy, and
refreshing, pays high and we think
merited compliment to the mind and
heart of DIR. Kingsbury, of the Will
mington Messenger. He says.
DR.. Kingsbury, of the Wilmington
Messenger, is peculiar and distinct
man. He has many parts and his
heart is large, but no larger than his
brain. He is man who looks, people
say, like Talmage. But nature made
his looks and the genial doctor cannot
be blamed if nature slandered him.
We have never had a chance or the
pleasure of meeting the gentleman.
But in his minds storehouse he has d
thousand and thousand more curios-
tiles. He is posted. He knows liter
allure. He is familiar with the books
which the bright lights wrote. He
has not only been a student-but he
has been an architect. He knows
Dickens and Elliot; he is familiar with
Hugo, with Carlysle and Macauley.
He knows that Pindar was the first
poet and he knows that we write
wretched verse. He can say that with
Scott, with Disraeli and with Shake
speare and Fielding and Johnson he
has some sentiments which are in
common. He knows that greatest
book OF all the years, the Holy Bible,
and he understands its worth, its
merits, viewed apart from the divine
inspiration. He is the brainiest editor
which we have to write US stuff-and
he has heart that reaches out and
which recognizes merit and which
turns away from conceit and brag.
DR.. Kingsbury is friend to all men
who need friendship, if they deserve it
we are of the opinion that he is a
great edltor-and in certain lines is
not excelled in the broad union.

OUR Washington correspondent says
it is stated at the Bureau of Engraving
that work on the plate for the new
two dollar certificate, which will bear
a vignette of the late Secretary Win
dom, is still in progress, and that as
soon as the plates are completed the
new certificates will be issued. 1t IS
also stated that, owing to the great
demand from banks from the West
and South for one and two dollar
bills, to be used in moving the crops,
and the inability of the Bureau to
complete the new certificates in time,
the Bureau is, by direction OF the
Treasury department, printing a sup
Div of two dollar certificates from the
plates bearing the vignette Of the late
Gen. Hancock to meet this demand.
The printing of bills from the Han
cock plates was discontinued some
months ago on account of the appear
ance of dangerous counterfeit.
