II is, perhaps, question whether the
bill to regulate elections in Providence,
passed by the Senate yesterday, is or is
not constitutional. II not repugnant to
the principles Of the constitution it
would certainly operate to prevent re-
peated elections. 1t would still be pos
sible for the voters to scratch ont the
printed names on the official ballots and
write In others of their own choosing,
but probably few would take the trouble.

liver enough into dollar to really
make q dollar, and another Is that all
he nations of the world do SO much
business and are so closely associated
With one another now that our country
ant stand by itself and say such and
uch things shall be its money. 1t must
,mploy the money metal or metals In
Use among other nations. This is why
,efore the United States coins more sill
yer into money it wishes to meet Great
Britain and France and Germany in
conference and agree with them how
liver shall be coined and what place in
he money system it shall have.
This is a long talk, but before the
NEWS stops it wants to say that the Re-
publican party is the party which has
thought most carefully about the silver
question and has been most wise in
planning how to use the products of our
mines without injury. The Republican
party passed the Sherman law, by which
The government agreed to buy certain
amount of silver every month to use as
money or as security for money. The
Republican party has gone SO far as it is
safe or right to go in promoting the en-
ployment of silver, and now it has
reached the point where it asks the
country to stand with it in refusing to 60
any further without consultation with
other money using peoples.
Is it clear what free coinage is, John
or Mary?

THE information that Mr.. William
Astor's property will probably be shared
in equal portions after his wife's death
by the sons and daughters, "this being
the frst time in the history of the Astor
fortune that daughters have not been
Disseminated against" may prove to be
another token Of certain amount of
progress made by this usually slow and
steady-going old world.

IT is difficult to see what the "exten-

But perhaps the fear of being blown

guilIotine may have restrained them. 1t
is better 80, perhaps. At the guillotine
Ravachol win be a martyr. In prison
he will be forgotten.

THE BEST WAY.

1.-THE coin of the country does not
suffice for the business of the country.
The government should not permit
corporations to control the currency
of the country. We have everything
that the world needs to eat and wear,
and this makes the best security that
could be devised. The Democratlc
party has been divided on the tariff
issue. The policy nowis to reform the
tariff one piece at a time. He can
understand why the trusts, the ex-
changes oppose the Sub Treasury. 1t
would compel them to keep their I'M
hoIv hands off the grain, tobacco and
cotton. But he can't understand why
anv merchant or newspaper man can
onnose it. The farmers can't stand the
present prices of products. By reason
of the war the North owns our seeurl-

The Wilmington Star in a recent
issue contained an editorial on the
majority rule" in the Democratic
party. 1t has always been one of the
customs of the party that in all of it's
deliberations and decisions the majority
should rule. The Star gave forth some
very peculiar utterances in regard to
that long established custom of the
Democratic party. 1t intimates that

DETERMINED FOR RELIEF.

There is no need to disguise the fact
that there is a terrible spirit of earnest
ness being manifested by the laboring
people Of the country. They have
entered the fight to obtain relief from
burdensome evils and will not sUrren-

In their intense e~arnestness and de

they have cast aside all manner of SEN

MEETING BRUNSWICK COUNTY
ALLIANCE.
SHALLOTTE, N. O.

49,
Mr.. EDITORIAL the regular meet
ing of Brunswick County Alliance the
following resolutions were offered, en-
dorsed and ordered sent forth, asking
that if any Alliance or any county can
offer a better method for relief, to let
it be known and we will ~cheerfully &C
quiesce:
Resolved, When any member of the
Order in good standing sustains any
serious loss, let the facts be reported
to his ub-Alliance which shall appoint
a committee to investigate the same
and report the amount of loss to said
Sub Alliance. and it shall be the duty
of said Sub Alliance Gf in it's power
to pay to the loser IS per cent. of said
loss, Or if not in its power, to pay SO
much of the rs per cent. as it Is able.
And then it shall be the duty of the
Secretary of said Sub, Alliance to re
port the action of his Alliance to the
Secretary of the County Alliance,
whose duty it shall be to distribute
prorata said deficiency according to
the number of delegates to each, and
it shall be the duty Of the different
Sub Alliances to make up the deficiency
and report to the County Secretary at
the succeeding county meeting, who
snail pay the same over to the person
sustaining the loss.
3. When the loss sustained is more
than one hundred dollars, and the
county fails to pay rs per cent of the
same, it shall be the duty of the
County Secretary to report the same
to the State Secretary with a request
that he prorate the deficiency among
the Sub Alliances of the State, with
tho rcO11nSf that no0h S1h-A lion0n
transmit it's amount to it's County Sec
rotary, who shall transmit the same
to the Secretary of the County Ali
ance in which the loss was sustained
The county unanimously endorsed
the Ocala and St. Louis demands. AL
though we are some fewer in number,
the Alliance never was stronger IN
Brunswick than it is now. May
heaven bless and prosper the reform

Price, S1.eO.

There is = demand for q comprehensive and
authoritative book which shall represent the
farmer, and set forth his condition, the iHfu-
enees surrounding him, and plans and prospects
for the future. This book has been written by
Hon. W. A. PETER, who was elected to the
United States Senate from Kansas to succeed
Senator Ingalls,. The title is THE FARNRR's
SIDE, and this indicates the purpose Of the work.
In the earlier chapters, Senator PETER de-
soribes the condition Of the farmer in various
parts Of the country, and compares it with the
condition Of mea ia other callings. He carefully
examines the eost of labor, Of living, the prices
Of crops, taxes, mortgages, and rates Of interest.
He gives elaborate tables allowing the increase
Of wealth in railroads, manufactures, banking,
and other forms of business, and he compares
this with the earnings of the farmer, and also
wage-workers in general. In . clear, forcible
style, with abundant citations Of facts and fig
ures, the author tells how the farmer reached
his present unsatisfactory condition. Then fol-
lows an elaborate discussion Of "The Way cut"
which is the fullest and most authoritative pres
e~ntation Of the aims and views of the Farmers
Alliance that hiss been published, including full
discussions Of the currency, the questions of
interest and mortgages, railroads, the sale Of
crops, and other matters Of vital consequence.
This book is the emily one which attempts to
cover the whole ground, and it is unnecessary
to emphasize its value. 1t is a compendium Of
the facts, figures, and suggestions which the
farmer ought to have ut hand.
Tn FARNER's SDE has Just been issued.
and makes = handsome and substantial booF
of ESQ pages. We have arranged with the pub
liSheFs for its sale to our readers at the pWb-
lishsrs' price. The book may be obtained at

HOW IS 1T ANY HOW

We are asked why the Alliance pa
pers seem to have more and harder
things to say against the Democratic
party than against the Republican
party.
If our friends will tell us why the
Democratic papers do say more and
harder things about the Alliance than
they do about the Republican party,
then they willhaveanswered their own

BRIEF BUT

Do you ask why there is SO little leg
islation for the people and SO much for
The party?
We reply: For the reason that there
is so vast a multitude Of fools that serve
the party and its unscTupulOus leaders,
instead of making the party serve them.
