The London Times argues that
many of the office-seeking abuses
in the United States are due to the
power to re-elect the president, and it
would he better if the reelection was
forbidden. The Times is of the opinion
that the old argument against such a
change appears in Mr.. Cicveland's
question: What will you do with the

Alliance Resolutions to Reduce

Whereas, the enormous cotton
crop of 1890 has reduced the price oil
cotton from ! to Z cents per pound;
And whereas, in our opinion, our
only relief is in the reduction oil
acreage to De planted in 1892;
Therefore, We the Scotland Neca,
Alliance assembled, do most earnest.
ly recommend that convention oil
the planters Of the cotton growing
States be called to meet in some
Southern State hereafter to be nam.
ed, and that delegates be elected and
sent to said convention to discuss
and formulate some plan by which
this great evil may be averted.
We most cordially ask the cooper.
alton of all farmers that arc interest
ed in the cultivation Of cotton. We
also request all editors and news
paper men that are friendly to the
agricultural interest of the South to
agitate this subject in their respec
tive papers.

Governor Hill on the Press.

In lis great speech at the un-
yelling of the Grady monument In
Atlanta last week, Governor Hill
paid high tribute to the press of
the country.
1t was fitting, to be sure, that he
should say as many pleasant things
for Journalism aud tue press as he
could; for the occasion was one that
spoke eloquently for these forces
even without his enlogium of the
greatest Southern journalist of his
times.
On our supplement this week we
print part of the beautiful flights
OF oratory which marked the mas.
terly Grafton; and we reproduce be-
low one or two paragraphs of his
tribute to the press:
"Might'est Of the mighty means,
On which the arm of Progress leans
Mans noblest mission to Advance,
His woes assuage, his veal enhance,
us rights enforcs, his wrongs redress -
Mightest of the mighty is the Press!'
The press is best security for the
preservation of our political Institu
tiOns. It is our best safeguard
gainst the perverslon of our Gov
ernment--against loading 1t up with
private business we can best GOOD.
crate and do. In that direction
lies our great danger. We elect
Onr Presidents and Governors for
sooth, but not our editors. Perhaps
ballots then need not be omnipotent.
To our editors we may look when
socialism ane Capitalization stand
unrebuked by those to whom bal
lots have intrusted that RESPONSE
blllty. The freedom and growth of
the press Will at last invigorate
that clause of our Constitution
which wltholds from government
all but few specific and expressly
granted powers. Better every lust
expansion of private freedom than
any growth of governmental fuuct-
lon-stlll more of governmental

WORDS OF WISDOM.

In the meeting OF democrats held
10 Realeigh recently, at the coll OF
Chairman Smith, 10th Alliance
democrats and non-Alliance dem
ocrats spoke and from the newspaper
REPORTS there seemed really little
difference Of opinion in the meeting.
A committee of good democrats,
both Alliaace and non-Alliance dem
ocrats, was appointed to send out
an address to the people, urging that
all differences be settled by the
majority.
Ex-Governor Jarvis made a strong
speech, and the Chronicles review OF
it so pleases US that we reproduce
part Of it.
The Chronicle says in part:
ole deplored and deprecated the
agitation that had engendered bitter
feeliog and counselled against the
ordinations an recrimlnatiOne
which have done more to disrupt the
marty than anything else. lie begged
that wisdom, moderation, and
spirit Of fairness and justice should
characterize all the utterances of
press and speakers, and that no class
of men impugu the motives of their
fellow Democrats. He did not stop
with this counsel and admonitlon
bot he showed that the duty OF the
Democratic party was to advocate
with all it's ability both the reform
Of our financial system and Of the
tariff. He did not believe that either
the tariff or the financial question
alone would bring relief, but that
both must be secured by the Demo
cratic party and both must be made
prominent in the Democratic plat
form and canvass. He recalled the
evils and ills of Republican legisla-
ton graphically and effectively and
showed that the rash, abusive and
incorporate men were doing what
might bring a return Of such legis-
lation, The men who rescued the
State from Republlcanisn were of
all classes AID callings -farmere,
doctore, lawyers, and others. In
the ranks Of the plunderers were
men of all callings. We do not care
to ask: "What is mans calllng2"
but as he honest. courageous and
true?" The democratic party is not
responsible for the Legislation that
burdens US, against which the AL
lance is a legitimate protest. 1t has
never had the opportunity to serve
tue people in twenty-five years. If
1t is given power, it will pass meas

SENSIBLE RESOLUTIONS.

Elsewhere we print resolutions
of the Scotland Neck Alliance rela-
tive to the reduction of the acreage
of cotton. We have long thought
that If the Alliance could bring a.
bout the change advocated in these
resolutions, 1t would be an untolc
benefit to the country.
In studying this question OF pro
ducing cotton at the present prices
there are several things to be con
sjdered. Among the most lmpor
tant are these: At present prices
every pound of cotton is produced
at loss. Then the more cotton
there is produced the greater the
loss to the individual producers
and so the greater the loss to the
entire section where it is produced
The more cotton there is produc
ed the less corn, meat, wheat, oats
peas, and other crops for home con
sumption. And as the cotton crop
is correspondingly large the quaint,
ties of these supplies for home cor.
sumption are correspondingly small
And so the disadvantage to tie
planter who sells cotton and buys
corn and flour and meat is twofold.
If the low price OF cotton were all
that worked to his Disadvantage it
would be a single disadvantage;
bat with the large production oil
cotton and low price for same, comes
a small production of home supplies
and higher prices for them.
SO decrease in the acreage Of
cotton would be an increase in the
acreage of those things that furnish
home supplies. And with less cot
ton produced we would have higher
prices and less meat and -four and
meal and oats and other things &c
buy.
Some may say that corn and meal
may be too plentiful, but we have
never yet seen too great abundance
of home supplies anywhere.
We commend this step taken BY
the Scotland Neck Alliance, and
hope to see the suggestion acted
upon In time to regulate even the
next cotton crop.

ADoCTRINE OF PROGRESS.

Col A. X. Mcclure, editor of the
Philadelphia Times, enjoyed quite
an ovation at the Exposition in
Raleigh last week.
He made a sensible speech, the
papers said, and speech which
every one was prepared to expect
and accept. Col Mcclure has been
a great friend to the South and has
spoken and written many pleasant
things about the Southern people.
The burden of his speech in
Raleigh was, that the South is
making rapid strides In her own
development, and North Carolina
is taking a good place IN the pov-
Ing ranks of progress.
Col. Mcclure preached doctrine
of true progress when he told the
Southern people that they ought to
manufacture the products Of their
own fields. He said that great
rivers flow alongside the great cot
ton fields of the South with enough
power to manufacture all the cotton
raised here.
Many other things Col. Mcclure
said about the needs and facilities
or Southern manufacturing. all Of
which were true and ought and will
be needed by the South; but after
all, from the newspaper reports of
his speech, he did not say so many
new things. The doctrine that he
preached has been preached for the
past few years by the Southern
press generally with as much ear
nestness as it has been possible to
command.
Every Southern paper with scarce>
~ single exception, has preach
ed day in and day out, week in and
week out, the same doctrine of
progress that Col. N-Clure preach
ed at the exposition last week; and
! it has been the needing of this per
sistent preaching by the Southern
press that has brought the Southern
people to gether and caused them
to unite their efforts in numerous
expositions of various kinds to show
to the world our greIt and com
handing resources 1t is the heed
ing OF this preaching by the North
Carolina press and the press in the
other Southern States that has
opened this great Southern EXPO.
sition at Raleigh. 1t will be the
needing of this doctrine of progress
advocated by the Southern press
that shalt set thousands and thou
sands of spindles a-going and shall
bring up from the bowels of the
earth our hidden treasures which
shall enrich our people and turn
the feet OF the home seeker and the
capitalist Southwark.
Then let us heed the truth of
Col. Mcclure and act upon bis sug-
gestionds, and thank him and all
others who look upon our strides
with favor; but let US contlnue to
preach our same gospel of progress,
remembering that it is of our own
making.
SO shall we rely upon our own
strength first, aided by others who
will so to do, and so shall we grow
! to be greater and a richer people.
