THREATS AND RLOWS

Decidedly rusty is his kaisership a
present. Temper and digestion botl
seem out Of order, for tho wheels Of gov
ernment are running anything bu
smoothly in the Fatherland The SO
cialists have tried his patience severely
Ills parliament is constant burden ant
care His ex-employes are not nearly a
loyal to him as he imagines they ough
to be, and SO, as natural consequence
the hand of the emperor, as heavy as ,
German drill sergeant's, is grabbing /;
victim here and there by the scalp anc
whirling him around in a spirit Of graft
fled revenge.
Himself no advocate Of cruelty, the
emperor is very naturally highly dis.
gusted with the publication to the
world of the stories of barbarous cruel
ties practised upon the soldiers of the
German army. The details that were
given and that have not been contra
dicted, we're fully worthy Of Russia it.
self. Indeed it was impossible to con
tradict them without impeaching the
authority of the circular letter of ami
madyersion issued by Prince George, Of
Saxony, to his colonels. But the circu-
lar, it is declared, was confidential, and
the emperor is fuming and fretting for
a chance to get even with those who
gave the revelations away. 1t was a
scurvy trick for the socialists to play.
All the emperor's confidence in his fine
grandmotherly schemes of winning the
heart Of socialism is blasted. With the
falling Of the mask comes the stern
assertion that socialism IS once more
rampant, bent on mischief, and, if it
will have it 80, must be firmly crushed
out Of existence.
1t would be interesting to know just
what conception of the constitutional
liberty of the subject IS entertained by
the young emperor. He is not old
enough yet to have quite forgotten the
details of his country's history, but he
ignores all that as unpleasant to him
with lordliness that is anything but
soothing to those of his subjects with
better memories. Count Timberg Sti-
rum has performed some services for
his country, but in rash moment he
was guilty of the heinous offense of an
tagonizng in a German newspaper the
commercial treaties that had met with
the approval of his sovereign. 1t posi-
lively smacks Of the extravaganza of
dime novel to read that the count has been
from the public service, must
suffer the loss of his pension and be de-
priyed of his diplomatic title of ambass-
ador An unlucky thing, surely, to be
for Bsmarck's offences!
There is but one ray Of light in the
whole business, and it shines out in the
declaration that even the docile con
seryatives have been reused to opposi-
tion to the emperor's policy and that
public feeling is eager to support them
in their revolt.

MEETING IN ORANGE COUNTY

Mr.. EDIToR:-Our Peoples party
convention for Orange county was
held today in Hillsboro according to
instructions of the State Executive
Committee. It was as harmonious as
ever was held. We elected delegates
to the district convention, who are on
the St. Louis platform with both feet
to stay.
We also held a mass-meeting to de-
eide whether or not we should have
out a Peoples party county ticket and
after a number of good speeches the
meeting declared by a unanimous ris-
ing vote to have out a full ticket,
Then a motion was made to ascertain
whether or not we wanted a full State
ticket in the field, and it was declared
again unanimous in favor of a ticket,
with men on it who declared that they
were upon the st. Louis platform and
in the middle so there was nc possible
chance to fall off. Everything is work
ing all right in Orange. 1t is the bust
est time with us farmers you eve saw,
but nevertheless we intend to stand by
our principles to the end. We had
a large crowd out and our court house
was packed. A, j. GORDON,

ELIZABETH CITY, N. c., June II, '92.
While the Peoples party were in con
ventiOn assembled this the 18th day Of
June, A. D. 1892, the sad news of the
death of Col. Polk, President N. +. A.
and |. u, was telegraphed from Wash
ington, D. @, to this place. A motion
was Immediately made and unanimous
ly adopted that a committee of three
be appointed to draft resolutions *
pressive Of our great loss and to tender
our sympathy and coincidence to his
afflicted wife and devoted children.
The Lord has said in His blessed word
that He will be a husband to the widow
and a father to the fatherless. In Him
do we trust. We bow in humble sub
mission to the will of Him who decides
the destinies of both men and nations.
Resolved, That in the death of Col.
Polk, the Christian, patriot and sol
der, not only the brotherhood of toll
ers, but the nation has sustained a
great loss. We know that all mankind
must taste the cup which destiny has
wined, be it bitter or be it sweet; but,
thank God, death always makes a
beautiful appeal to charity. The grave
covers every error, buries every defect
and extinguishes every resentment.
From it's peaceful bosom spring none
but fond regrets and tender recollec-
tions. Your committee can only say
for you and for themselves, Farewell,
farewell, Col. Polk, our noble leader;
in that better land we hope to meet
thee where no farewell tear is shed.
Reform papers, please copy.

we'll, wait. Mind if you are too late
for the wedding, therell be plenty
without you. Millions Of Christian
patriots are rushing to the front. The
ground trembles beneath their tread,
Plutocracy is dazed and COMPOUNDED.
The hosts are gathering from Maine to
Georgia. The plutocracy is fighting
every inch of the ground. Still they
come and multiply. And when this
cruel war is over" and the people
triumph, where will be your sheaves?
The genius of the republic will cOnslgn
you to that throng who hates his fellow
man, and the black cloud Of oblivion
will close over you forever.

OUR PRINCIPLES S.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Please give space for
the following in our next issue. IwOuid
give my views as to,the recognition and
and enforcement of our principles. AS
Alliancemen and friends of reform we
should have our principles tested by
the standard of principles. First, by
the Mt. Sinai platform and see if they
are consistent and in harmony with it.
On the opposite the principles of the
straightout Pharasaic Jews were not.
They objected to certain planks and
adhered to their own tradition rather
than the commands of God. In the
second place we come to the platform
of Grace, of Calvary, and Of the Lord
Jesus Christ, the redeemer of mankind,
the redeemer of the world. Test our
principles and see if they are c0nsis
tent and in harmony with this plat
form. st. John tells us that these
strict, straighout Pharisees were not
and that they would have changed the
title in the beginning. But blessed be
God it holds now and will hold for
ever. The world has undergone many
changes since then, yet we find that
these same old selfish and covetuous
isms exist now. They have only
changed from strict isms to straight
outs. l like the word in, straight in,
much the best. 1t seems to point to
the entrance into the city. For with
out are dogs, so~rceTers, whOremongers,
m%urderers, idolatOrs, and w~hOsOevers
maketh and loveth a lie. Brethren,
u principles are such that we can
recommend them to a needy and OPP
pressed people and to a corrupt gov
eminent and have the consciousness
that God is with us. By His help let
Us hold them up in His light that they
NAV shine as the stars in Heaven that
all NAV see and feel their bearing and
that they bear the image and likeness
of God rather than than that of
Caesar. for we believe they r not as
those that would destroy the princi-
n~alities and powers Of heaven and
earth in order to show up as friends of
Caesar. Brethren, as an Allianceman
7 am willing to submit our principles
to the highest standard Of principles.
7 believe for the enforcement of our
PRINCIPLES we have only to prove them
and present them in their true bearing
to ali mankind and unto the King Of
Kings and Lord of Lords.
All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall.
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all.

Chaplain Morven Alliance, No. 70.
