WHERE IS THE CONSISTING :?

We would like for somebody to tell
us why it has become to be such a
crime in the estimation of some peo-
pie for man to be 4 party man. All
our greatest statesmen were party
men, not III The haCkneyed sense of
the word, but where principle was
concerned. We see it constantly as
serted by some Of our Alliance organs
that we Alliancemen, who are gong
to stick to the Democracy, are wOr-
shipping party more than principle.
Brethren, don't you suppose we had
convictions of our own before we
Joined the Alliance And did you
ask us to surrender those convictions
when we became AllianCemen To
speak of us as if we were being led by
Il halter around our neCks wherever
the Democratic leaders would have us
go, is very unkind, to say the least
In our opinion, the man who has con
yictions of his own and sticks to them
is far superior to the zig-zag man who
can be either pig or pup, as suits hi:

THE PARTISAN FASHION
JOURNALS.

" La Mode de Paris and Album DIES
Nodes" so well-known as the puhlica-
tons giving the choicest Paris styles
one month in advance of other journals,
appear to be growing Just a little too
popular. The demand for them is grow
ing so rapidly that the publishers, A.
Mcdowell & Co., 4 West 18th street,
New York, have found it difficult to keep
up with the increasing demand each
month They claim that the American
ladies are now buying their journals to
such an extent that the newsdealers are
entirely out of them by the fifth of the
month. AS all the plates are made in
Paris by the best artists, the publishers
claim that it requires considerable time
to catch up with such increased demand.
We agree with our lady friends that
they are superior fashion JOURNALS. We
suggest to them to become regular sub
scribers, thus making sure OF receiving
their journal each month, and securing
that valuable book, " Dressmaking Sim
plifed," that is given as Il premium to
each subscriber paying $3.50 in advance
for either " La Mode de Paris Or AL

THE EXACT FACTS IN THE CASE.

The Henderson GOLD LEAF says
editorially:
We publish this week the address issued
by the North Carolina delegates to the
st. Louis convention. 1t embraces the
preamble and platform as printed last
week. but Us there was a mistake in put
ting the resolution concerning the pay OF
ex-Union soldiers as part Of the plat
form adopted in the convention, we omit
that and publish the address in full. This
resolution, it seems, was introduced i'll a
mass meeting after the regular cOnven-
ton had been held.
We know that our contemporary
desires to be accurate about this as
about all matters, and we therefore
take the liberty to bring the exact facts
80 its attention. The resolution con-
corning the pay of eX-Union soldiers
chat is, demanding that they be paid
now the difference between the value
Of gold and the value Of the depreci-
atcd greenbacks as it existed at the
time they Aere paid off was not in
the platform proper of the St. Louis
conference, but it 7oas adopted as a
resolution by that conference. The
conference then resolved itself into a
mass meeting and this mass meeting
adopted platform in which the SOL
der resolution was plank and called
a convention to meet at Omaha on the
4th of July. The resolution was a part
Of the proceedings of both meeting:
and was endorsed by both. 1t doe:
not make any difference whether il
was in the first platform of the firs
meeting or not-its adoption as res
olution was as full and complete {
committal Of the body to it as fit haC
been in the platform.
! The GOLD LEAF can depend upor
the absolute accuracy of this statemen
of the matter, fox the reason that GU
facts are taken from the proceeding
of the two meetings as they appeared
in the National Economist DR.. c. W
Macune's paper, of the 5th of March
Charlotte Observer.

A SERIGOS QUESTION.

1t IS conceded without any question
that none Of our cities or larger towns
can enjoy permanent state Of pros
perity if the farming interest seriously
declines; for it is true that the COun-
try supports the town. The COndl-
ton of our farming interests, there
fore, demands our serious concern.
1t Is easy enough to make the types
of newspaper office, say this and
that about the general prosperity, and
call the truth-tellcr an alarmlst or old
fO9y, but this dOesn' make the matter
any better, but worse.
The right thing to do is 10 tell the
truth. This does not necessarily
mean the Encouragement Of the farmer,
but rather points him to the necessity
Of improved methods. The land is
not to blame, for observation proves
that where good work is done the re
suits are satisfactory. The Workman
on yesterday, in an article on the
town of Liberty, gave examples of in
;-lligent and profitable farming,
where 4 very few acres well cultivated
gave handsome yield. Some SINH
lar plan must be adopted throughout
the country. The people must come
closer together, for as they are in their
isolated condition, they must suffer the
dire consequences of tilling large and
poor fields, besides being far removed
from churches, schools, shops, mills
and postofilces. Under such condi-
tons poverty, ignorance and vice must
be the result. How much better to
take warning and resort to the small
farm, with the near proximity to all
the conven ences of living.-Greens
borO Workman.
