SOUTH CAROLINA.
Bosses.

In South Carolina the Peoples
Party men have done what was at
first proposed to do in North Caro-
lina-seize upon the democratic ma
chine and break it.
The democratic state convention
in South Carolina last week was run
by Third Party men entirely. They
called themselves democrats, but they
do not expect to vote the democratic
national ticket, and when the state
convention meets in September will
no longer wear even the name demo
crat.
They endorsed the Ocala platform
word for word and sent delegates to
Chicago to the democratic conven-
ton, but refused either to denounce
the Peoples Party or to pledge
themselves or the delegates elected
to support the candidates to be
nominated at Chicago.
There can be but one conclusion
derived from their action: They
intend to present the Ocala plat
form to the democratic convention
at Chicago, and when it is rejected
to bolt the convention and go on to
Omaha to the Peoples Party con-
vention, which meets there few
DAYS later than the democratic con-
vention in Chicago.
1t is a rather roundabout way of
getting home, but we have known
for months that that was the way the
South Carolina boys had selected to
go, and we said nothing and just
sawed wood.
Some of the leaders in North
Carolina proposed going the same
long way round also, but the men
from the farms got together and
said that was not the best way, and
they led off on a straight shoot and
got there directly. They are In the
Peoples Party, and at home there
ouI ooxoF0~+o b1o
We welcome the North Carolina
men most heartily. They have acted
wisely, in our judgment wisely and
periodically, and are at home, safe
from any possible entanglements.
We will welcome South Carolina
just as heartily when she gets in
July Atlas she will do.
We know the people are loyal to
the principles at issue in this cam
paign, and that she will follow them
home in little time. We only re-
greet for the sake Of the brethren
themselves that they did not take
the short cut as they have done in
North Carolina and joined us at the
fireside of the great party Of the
people few weeks sooner than they
can now do.

NORTH CAROLINA.

SO far as the Alliance and the far
mers are concerned, North Carolina
is solid for the Peoples Party.
The politicians are striving to con-
ceal this from the people Of Georgia
and the country generally for fear
Of the effect it will have on the peo-
pie of other States, but it cannot be
done.
We stopped the press last week to
insert a telegram from L. L. Polk an
nouncing the fact that ''North Caro-
lima had gone solidly and with en-
thusiastic unanimity into the Peoples
Party"
We could do no more then than
simply make the announcement as it
was telegraphed to us by Bro Polk.
Since that time we have learned
the particulars which are these:
The president of the State Alliance,
Bro. Marine Butler, while believing
that the Peoples Party was a neces-
sity and that the great majority of
the Alliancemen were in favor Of the
the Peoples Party, was himself with
a few others in authority, opposed to
taking immediate action, but thought
wisest to go into the Democratic
State convention and capture it as
has been done IN Sonth Carolina. To
this proposition of Buffers there was
great opposition, and finally a con-
ference was called to meet on the
day previous to the meeting of the
Democratic State convention, and to
this conference every county Alliance
was urged to send their ablest men.
The object Of the conference was not
definitely stated but was said to be
one of the greatest Importance, and
called as it was at the same place and
but one day in advance of the Dem
ocratic convention to elect delegates
to Chicago, was perfectly understood
to be a conference to decide whether
the Alliancemen of the State would
60 with the Peoples Party or not.
The telegram referred to stated the
simple fact of the result. With en-
thusiastic unanimity the Alliancemen
of the entire State voted to go into
the Peoples Party. Having done
that, they proceeded to select full
delegation for the State at large to
Omaha, and fixed the time OF hold,
ing Congressional District conven-
tons for the election Of District del
egates.
The counties will hold their con-
ventions June 18th, and elect dele
gates who will meet in their respec-
tive Congressional Districts June
10th.
The State meeting also elected an
Executive Committee, the same as
has been done in Georgia, and issued
an address to the people in fact, put
the whole machinery Of the Peoples
Party in place in the State, and are
prepared to go in and whip the fight
something that even the moss-back
papers of Georgia indirectly &C
knowledge that they can do easily.
Why not send Jack Turner as one
of the delegates at large from Geor-
gia to the National Convention at
Omaha? Nobody made better
fight at ST. Louis than Turner. No
better man anywhere than Jack. Let's
show him this honor. He is worthy
of it.

would just give the boys time, the

Democratic platform was a mild stag
ger towards our embraces. The gen
tie spirit of Sidney Lewis breathed
all through it.
But we did not think the good
work was finished. We knew the
medicine was just beginning to take
good hold.
So in the soft, encouraging words
of "Uncle Pumblechook," we sat by
and said
LEAD her on, Joseph; lead her
on"
Sure enough Patience met its US
ual reward.
The Lincoln county platform came
duly to hand. 1t "saw" the bluff of

monition of Uncle Pumberchook, we
said, Good in you, Joseph; lead
her on"
The medicine continued to mean
der up and down and all around the
delicate and decaylng Democratic
System.
The game called "Hunt the Switch"
grew yet more interesting and excit-
ing.
In the midst of it, the Georgia
State Convention of the elect and
Simon-pure Democrats got together
in that town of Brotherly Love called
Atlanta.
1t was rich turn out. If in all the
James and back streets of Georgia
Politics, a single man was left out,
we cannot discover it.
The ~old crowd was there III
great shape.
Out of the milky way of Demo
cratic Ringism not a star was missing.
Among all those who had most
blttesly abused the Ocala platform
none were left at home.
They were all present to testify
their sincere devotion to the princi-
pies they had denounced.
They were eager to prove that
those very principles were what
they had wanted all along; but that
owing to defects of memory they
could not think them up as soon as
we did.
SO the Protectionists, like Pat
Walsh and Evan Howell, sweetly
smiled as they swallowed the Pill on
the Tariff Question.
And the Cleveland men, like Hoke
Smith, tried to look pretty as they
voted for Free Silver, which Cleve-
land repudiates.
And the "Alliance Democrats"
strove to appear happy in a conven-
ton which scornfully spat upon their
demands for the abolition of Nation
al Banks, the issue of Legal Tender
notes direct from the Treasury to the
People, and their Sub-Treasury
Plan, to which they have heretofore
been most positively committed.
Barring these little episodes, how
ever, the convention was a glorious

Rarbarous Punishments.

Rameses II. OF Egypt cut off the nose
Of any person convicted of treason or
arson. Actisanes, another Egyptian
ruley, punished robbers in the same
way. After each nose had been ampu-
tated back even with the bridge" the
culprit was sent to colony of noseless
felons, the place of Punishment being
known as Rhinoconum, from the nature
of the punishment its colonists had I'M
dergone. In England in 1871 Lord
Coventry, then great keeper OF the
British SEAL" had his nose cut off by
order of the king because he had dared
to ask some questions about an actress

that he had been enrolled into the army
of Frederick the Great in fraudulent
manner, had his nose amputated by
order of that sovereign, who spoke OF

Pathetic Story Showing tho Strength OF =
Monkey Mothers Love.
One morning on rocky hill. sparsely
covered with small trees, / disturbed
troop of monkeys which made a bolt
over the open ground to some thicker
forests in the valley below. Three, how
ever, disregarding me, remained In one
tree, making horrible noises at some
thing underneath. soon discovered
that the object Of their Indignation was
brutal-looking black dog, which was
busily devouring something ut the root
of the tree. When the dog saw me 1t
made of, carrying in its mouth black
thing, like little animal, with legs
and long tail. guessed it was q baby
monkey and gave chase rs hard rs l
could, but the dog made good its escape
without dropping its prey.
Coming back to the tree l searched
the ground and found the body OF an
other little infant, still warm. How did
the poor little thing fall into the jaws
of that brute? have often seen an in
FAINT Of the same size clinging to its
mothers breast in perfect rest and Sc
curity while she took the most daring
bounds from tree to tree. Perhaps the
dog surprised the monkeys on the open
ground and pressed the mother so hard
that she dropped her offspring to save
her own life. Or perhaps they were en-
joying picnic in fancied security, and
had laid down their little ones when
the Zulu rushed upon them. While
was examining the limp little body
TO see whether life was extinct a
pitiful wall told me that its mother was
watching me. She had retired to
another tree some distance off, and was
wistfully gazing at me, wondering what
was doing with her precious babe. l
saw that there was no hope, but re-
tired and hid myself to see what she
would do She came down at once and
approached cautiously, distrusting me,
and Jumping me in her mind, no doubt,
with the brutal black dog. Then She
stood upon stone, and, standing erect,
looked all round and gave q plaintive
scream. Where was her darling? At
last she found it and caught it up and
pressed it to her bosom. But it could
not lay hold of her-it fell. Again and
again she raised it and encouraged it to
clasp her in its arms as it had always
done.
She did not seem to understand that
It was dead. At length she held it to
her bosom with one hand and tried to
run on three, lest the black dog might
return. When she got to a safe tree
she clambered up as best she could,
hugging her precious charge with one
arm, and there she gave way to her
grief and cried piteously, while kite
sailed grimly round the tree as If claim

what she did in the end with the little
lifeless body. cannot believe she left
it to the kite. 1t would not surprise me
to know that she buried it, or laid it in
so1ic hollow and covered it with leaves
and stones. "-India Times

GENERAL ESCoBEDo.
THE GRIZZLED MEXICAN WARRIOR
INTERVIEWED IN SAN ANTONIO.
He Makes Startling Assertion Concern
ing the Fall Of observation-disclosures

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, March %
General Mariana Escobedo, the great
est of the living Mexican generals and
who was commander-in-chief of the
national army during the French in
vasion and during Maximilian's short
and stormy reign, arrived here this
morning. The general is now living
in retirement on his hacienda in Qua
najuata, Mexico. 1t has been charg-
ed and is so stated in history that the
fall of Queretaro was due to treachery
on the part of Colonel Miguel Lopez,
of Maximilian's staff, who was gene
rally supposed to have delivered up
the strong place for traitors reward.
In an interview with your cores
pondent Gen Escobedo cl, AIRED up
that error. He said: "For long
term of years my mouth has been
sealed by a promise which | held
sacred, but the discovery of letters
from Macmillan has revealed the
truth through no agency of mine, and
released me accidentally from the
pledge had taken as the last favor
to doomed prince. Miguel Lopez
was a secreC emissary o. Macmillan.
He was sent to me at dead
of the night, and in the
deepest secrecy to propose in Maxi
milian's name the surrender of Quer-
tora, pro yiding he, the emperor, was
allowed to flee the country in safety.
This could not and would not grant,
and demanded an unconditional sur
render.
Miguel Lopez then told me in Maxi
milian's name that the surrender of
Queretaro would be made on the NOR
row, but asked me also in MaXimil-
ian's name, and as last and single
favor to the Inflated prince,
never to reveal the proposition
made by Macmillan to surrender his
army in exchange for his freedom and
thus save his name from the shame
which would inevitably attach to his
name if his reasonable intent were
known to tho world.
This is how that it CHANGED Col. Lo-
PEE has borne in silence and for many
years the brand of infamy as the last
act of heroic devotion to the memory
of Macmillan"
Referring to Colonel Moves Harnan-
dez, who is now in prison under SEN
tence of death passed by the court
martial at Monterey, before which he
was tried on the charge of treason fcr
aiding Catarino Cara in his revolu-
tionary movement General Escobedo
said that he did not believe the SEN
tence would be confirmed by the SUI
preme military court of Mexico tc
which the case had been appealed. In
any event he said Colonel Hernandez
will be pardoned without doubt by
President Diaz. There is no possible
doubt, said the general, but that Gen
Diaz will be reelected. There is M
opposition of any kind and no candi
date for the presidency can or will
spring up against him.
