National Union COMPANY.

EDITOR VOICE: Thinking that some
would like to know how the Union
Company came to be endorsed by the
state Alliance, we will say that the I'm.
ion plan was presented by a man from
Dakota, who made quite a lengthy
statement in favor of said Company
at the close of which S. McLallin (by
permission) began to read a letter from
Pres. L. L. Polk. When it was ascer
tanned that the letter opposed the Tn.
ion Company, the party from Dakota
objected, The letter was then by mo-
ton referred to a committee. Bro
McLa allin went before the committee
with the letter. Nothing further wa.
heard from either until near the clost
of the session, when the committee re.
ported favorable to the Union plan
Then Bro. McLallin came forward an(
stated that since comforting with tht
committee, he would withdraw the let
ter with his personal objections. Al
this time perhaps more than two-thirds
of the delegates had started on theil
way home.
A motion was then put favoring tht
adoption of the Union Company, which
was adopted by a small majority.
In February number of the AdUO
cate, Bro. McLallin comes out with {
rather lame excuse for his actions al
the state meeting, but we are glad to
know that he is now doing good work
in opposition to the Union.
Now we are opposed to the Unior
Company in every sense of the word
and hope that those who are capable Of
writing it up will do so in a fair, hon.
est way. Twas surprised to learn in Z
conversation with Pres. Biddle, that HI
favored the Union plan.
We do not think, as does D. T. Rose
that it is a republican scheme, but of
both political factions of Wall street
whereby they expect to absorb a littl
more of the products of labor.

SIGNIFICANT NEWS FROM THE SOUTH

The following associated press tele-
gram affords good deal of cheer to
the Peoples party in the north:
RALEIGH, n. c., April S.-The demo-
cratic situation in North Carolina is
tangled. Because of this state of af-
fairs second meeting of the demo-
cratic state committee was held here
yesterday and was largely attended.
The state convention is to be held on
May IS. The Alliance and PEOPLES
party men have announced that they
intend to control the pri-
marieS and elect the delegates, so as
to control the state convention, and
that they will adopt the st. Louis plat
form and elect the national delegates,
who will be instructed to attend the
Chicago convention and present the st.
Louis platform. If it is not adopted,
the delegates are then to attend the
Omaha convention and take their seats
therein as the accredited delegates
from this state.
In order to prevent this, Chairman
Smith, of the state committee, has
written a letter, saying that those who
are in favor of this policy are not dem
Ocrats in good standing, and must not
be admitted to the primaries unless
they pledge themselves by resolution
to stand by the action of the various
conventions. A proposition was made
to pOstpOre the nomination of the state
ticket until August, in order to make
the Alliance men show their hand on
May Is, The committee decided not
to do this and then endorsed the letter
of Chairman Smith and adjourned. 1t
was declared that the more time there
was the better it would be for the ALI
ance people, and the greater would be
their number of delegates in the vari-
GUS conventions. The only remedy
was to use the plan laid down by Chair
man Smith, and in this way keep out
the third party people and thus retain
the control in the hands of the straight
democrats. Some of the committee
men were open in their declaration that
if the Alliance program were success
ful they would leave the convention
and nominate regular and straight
out democratic ticket, or seek an Ali
ance with the republicans and run a
fusion ticket.
If the Alliance is strong enough in
the south to openly declare its inten-
tiOns in the above manner and to so
badly frighten the "straight-Out" dem
ocrats as to cause them to seek to bar
out the Alliance men from the party,
they are not so weak as we have been
led to believe they were by the north
ern Alliance exterminatOrs. Listen:
The committee decided not to postpone
the convention for the reason that it
was thought "the more time there was
the better it would be for the Alliance
people" So it appears that the demo-
Gratis of the south admit that the Alli-
ance, already strong enough to scare
them out of their boots, is going to
gain strength continually. This is in
North Carolina and we predict that it
is only the signal for action in half
dozen or more southern states. Lively
times may be expected at Chicago and
Omaha.

nal valuation upon the property 10 be con-
demned, with the assurance to the owners
that their land was not wanted and would
not be taken. After that the owners could
refuse TO accept the amount offe Bsd them as

but before these could be brought to an
Issue the ulEi0n would secure the abrogation

and then the whole scheme would fall to
