SOUND AND SENSIBLE ADVICE.

We extract the following para
graphs from an editorial that APP
peared in the Southern Alliance
Farmer few weeks before it "flop-
ped" to the third party. We are
sorry that Editor Irwin did not stick
to this sound and sensible advice,
and hope that he will get back to
his first love before the October cleo
tions. Wise men make mistakes
but are quick to correct them:
''The great power of the alliance
is in its secrecy and non-partisan>
ism. 1t is a great reserve force in
the nation when used in the proper
way that will check robbery and
abuse in all parties. the alliance
cannot be an annex to any party,
but must use its power as a great
balance wheel in correcting the evils
that are extant in all political or
CARNATIONS. To commit the order
as such to the democratic, republi-
can or peoples party, would be fatal
to our influence. 1t would pnt the
world on notice and commit the or
der unquali6edly to follow the policy
of the party so endorsed. This
would be partisan in the fullest de-
gree, and would place the order in
a fight for spoils Of Office. The great
needs and demands Of the people
would be lost sight of just as they
have been in the past.
"But let the order stand for prin>
ciples, for home and fireside. Rise
above party and partyism and fight
for the grand movement that is de-
stined to wrest this government
from the hands of plutocracy. 1t is
only by holding the order aloof from
any party that we can accomplish
this cnd-by using our balance of
power to bring all parties to our
demands"

eyes, but the arrest of the silver
bill is not an adequate justification
of the detection from the democratic
party. l was an earnest advocate
of the silver bill because it was IN
conservance with ancient and time
honored democratic principles, but |
realized what the third party said
before the vote was taken, namely,
that it would afford very little prac-
tical relief and would only add about
30 cents per capita to the currency.
Many people do not know that near
ly all the silver taken from Ameri-
can mines is now utilized as money,
that the government purchases
100000 ounces per month and is
sues treasury notes for its value, thus
adding to the circulation every year
$50, 100000 or more. We have al
ready, therefore, nearly all the adj
vantages that could be desired from
the free coinage of silver, and in
stead Of the heavy and cumbersome
coin we have its equivalent in pa
per money"

AFFAIRS IN AFRICA.
Perhaps England May Now Coll Upon
France for Satisfaction.

LONDON, July 1S.-Full official dis
patches from Captain Lugacd, the agent
of the British East Africa company ia
Uganda, in regard 10 the religious war
fare in that country, are received. Cap
tain Lugard says that the troubles COM
menced on Jan. 10, on the arrival in
Uganda of the E-ench bishop. who. thu
captain believed brought the announce
ment published in English papers 2f the
intended withdrawal If the British
forces in Uganda. On the receipt of
this news, Captain Lugard declares, con
tinual aggTassions by the Catholic fGc-
ton ensued.
When Captain Lugard asked King
Mwanga, the native ruler, and the lead
er of the Catholic party, 70 punish the
murderer of "A Protestant chief, he was
told that If he interfered i'll the matter
every one of his soldiers would be killed.
On the following day overwhelming
French forces attacked Captain Lugarl5
command, who, armed with Maxim
rifles, made brave stand and succeeded
IN repulsing them. They then fed TO the
islands, after seizing King Mwanga,
which action was of immense import
ance to Uganda, where the people were
devoted TO the king. Captain Lugard
offered TO reinstate King Mwanga and
the French party, he claims, but owing
to the intrigues and lies Of the French
bishop the captains OverCure5 were re
jected.
Finally, Captain Lugard, without any
further explanations, continues: eve
were forced to attack the islands where
the French forces had intrenc he'd them
selves, and after a heavy fight drove out
the enemy, with great loss. They are
now centering at Buddu. The Protest
ants are in a critical position, Catholics,
MahOmmedans and heaUhens all being
arrayed against them"
Appended is dispatch dated March Z
from the British East Africa company's
agent at Bunroba, saying that he hopes
to secure two of King Mwanga's
nephews, and hold them as hostages, and
asking for a Nordenfeldt gun to send to
