Farmsr-The New Editor-Negro Horse
Whipping Followed by Arrests.


RALEran, n. c., June 22.--There is very
interesting bit Of Alliance history reveal
ed in tho farewell editorial of Rev. Baylus
Cade, which appears in to-morrow's issue
OF the P,vgresSire Farmer, Colonel Folks
paper. Mr.. Cade safs he retires of his
own motion, led 10 that courh by sense
OF duty. He then shows where the conflict
of view occurs evidently between Polk
aud himself by saying
MS REASONS.
Ny reasons for retiring are as follows:
After careful and patient STUDY or the
Sub- Treasury bill am convinced that us
enactment in law would be disastrous 70
the country, aud especially to the agrlcul-
tural interests of the country. HOLDING
this view cannot write one word In favor
of that bill. The dominant sentiment IN
the alliance upon tbi3 measure Is IN
irreconcilable conflict with my views;
and the only manly and honorable course
lel1 open for me is to retire and let another
editor take charge of the paper whose
views are in harmony with those OF the
friends of the ub-Treasury bill.
NO PRESSURE WHATEVER.
II is due TO Colonel Polk and to all the
other officers of the Alliance that should
distinctly say that no pressure Of any KIND
has ever been brought to bear upon me 70
induce me to take any position that could
not occupy with a conscience VOID OF
offence"
The new editor, Mr.. P. F. Duffy, late of
the Wilmington Star, will not take, charge
OF the ProgesSicc Farmer until July ISL, IL

There was rather novel street scene
