whether they know themselves how high
they counted it." If General Weaver
or the republicans had swept the coun-
try, I seriously doubt il the democrats
of Alabama would have put up any
earnest claim whatever; for they knew
we had determined, if such were the case,
to go to the bottom of the matter.
The people Of the west conquered their
immediate political enemy; the reformers
of the south were thrown upon the mercy
Of their immediate political antagonists.
We rejoice in the fullness Of your victory

Now the party Of "if we had a chance"
has chance, and democrat never took
chance to make good chance, and am
confident that there will be another dull
thud in four years, and the democratic
party will be inferred beside its twin
spinster sister. Our people here regard
the results of the recent election az a
grand triumph Of the Peoples party.
Wehave obliterated the republican party.

VAIN HOPES.

The following choice bit of pro-
phetic wisdom from a state house
philosopher is going the rounds of the
republican press:
Hon. William Higgins sizes the situation
up exactly in the following: "The next re-
publican campaign will be made upon re-
publican principles, pure and simple, and no
isms, fads or ologles will be allowed TO entsr
into our platform. The days of crazy quilts
are over, and from now on you will see re-
publican battles in Kansas made for repub-
licanism and honest government"
The trouble with republican lead
ers in recent years has been that they
haze had no principles, and the
"isms, fads and ologies" have been
Incorporated in their "crazy quilt"
platforms simply to catch votes, and
without any intention to carry out a
single pledge given to the people.
The above quotation from the Hon.
(D William is a plain confession of
this fact, and the confession is simply
a confirmation of what the people had
already learned by observation and
experience. The disastrous defeat of
the republican party is not owing to
"isms, fads and ologies" to be found
in the platforms, but to the dishon-
estv, the insincerity and the hypOc-
ricy of republican leaders In making
promises to the people which they
never intended to fulfill, and it mat

THE NATIONAL REFORM PRESS
ASSOCIATION.

So many of the members OF our re-
form press association are members
of the Alliance, and SO many Of them
are usually delegates to the national
council, that it Is difficult to get them
together for business during the ses-
sion of the council. 1t has therefore
been decided at the recent meeting
in Memphis to hold no more meet
ings at the same time and place as
the national council, and the consti-
tuition was changed accordingly.
There being some important business
which requires early attention, it was
decided to hold the next meeting
February %, 1893, and Washington,
D. c., was selected as the place OF
the meeting. Arrangements will be
made to secure transportation, and 1t
is desired that al members of the
association and all who wish to be-
come members shall attend. There
will not only be important business
matters to attend to, looking to the
financial interests of our papers, but
the opportunity will be afforded to
visit places of interest at the national
capital, and to witness the proceed
ings of congress which will be in
session at that time. A grand excur-
sion will be arranged and a general
good time is expected. W. S. Nor
gan, secretary of the association, will
issue circular soon giving full IN
formation concerning this meeting,
and asking applications from all who
wish to attend, for transportation.
There will be some expense attending
the arrangements for transportation
which it is expected the members will
contribute in response to Brother
Morgan's circular. This is expected
to be no small affair. 1t is desired to
make it grand success both as an
excursion and as meeting. Let all
editors of reform papers make ar
rangements to go.

The Homestead Outcome.

The conclusion Of the Homestead
strike by the defeat of the men, an
nounced in yesterdays Ns0s, was in
evitable. Yet nothing has been settled
except the power Of money to starve
wage-workers into submission. By that
irrational sort of labor controversy the
men have been heavy losers; but, while
the Carnegie company has lost two dol
lars to their one, that loss counts as
nothing from their easily acquired
millions.
Labor cannot too soon learn that the
only way to successfully fight millionaire
barons Of industry is with the ballot.
While toilers have in the past been vast
ing their political strength, or allowed it
to be turned against themselves, men of
the Andrew Carnegie type have been
consolidating their influence to mould
legislation in their own interest, in order
that they might be able to secure far
more than their just share Of the profits
Of industry. In addition to that, they
have caused laws to be enacted which
place labor at q grievously unfair dis
advantage in controversies about wages.
Not satisfied with practically controlling
the state military force, they have en-
couraged the organization and equip
ment of an irresponsible private army Of
mercenaries, to be subject to their call in
formidable force, and liable, In the event
Of any contest between labor and capital
to be hurled against workingmen with
bullet and bayonet, to intimidste and
kill if necessary.
In the Homestead case, detail Of 500
Of these private assassins was shipped
into Pennsylvania under contract with
the Carnegie company for the purpose OF
terrorizing and numbering the men,
should the advance Of this unauthorized
force, intrenched behind the steel-clad
bulwarks of vessels armoured for the oc-
caslon, be impeded in its lawless prog
ress. This darling and reckless step was
taken by the Carnegie company, as was
confessed by Mr.. Frick TO the congress

Mckinley, Jr. Mr.. Mckinley never
was as big a man as a great many
members of the party supposed him
to be. The so-called Mckinley bill is
the old senate bill which was got up
as a substitute for the Mills bill. He
took a copy of it and marked large
number of tariff duties higher than
they we're, and 10, he got credit for
having evolved new system of tariff,
and 1t was called the Mckinley bill

could have made the same changes
which resulted in its being called the

Politics in the South.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-H enroute for
Birmingham from Memphis, | find that
it will be some while until strain time"
and so I have determined to write let
ter for publication in the west, thereby
hoping to throw some light to you upon
the political situation as | now interpret
it to exist in this state and in the south.
Having just circulated among the
delegates from the great west attending
the National Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union at Memphis found that
much interest was manifested by them
concerning the temper and the feeling of
the reformers Of this section after the
recent campaign, which was SO warmly
fought here, and was generally SO re-
markable and peculiar. That our west
ern brothers learned at Memphis that
we are yot loyal, l have no doubt. But l
do doubt if any one who does not thor
oughly understand politics in the south
could have any definite opinion OF the
political situation as it is by mere in
quiry.
No conception Of the actual conditions
that confront the reformers Of the south
can be had by anything short Of residence
in this section.
/ regret, sadly regret, that the mis-
taken idea is somewhat prevalent in the
west that the reformersof Of the south over
rated their strength, and made exagger-
ated claims IN order to influence the
voters Of other sections. / write honestly
and truly, and as one who has been in
position to be correctly informed, when
I state that a majority Of the intelligent
and of all voters Of Alabama are believers
in the doctrines Of the Peoples party.
Our people are firm in their adherence
to these great principles Of reform. And
in the battle of ballots in November we
fought good fight and kept the faith,
but the democrats kept the votes by their
repeated, savage, disgraceful and revo-
lutionary methods.
The multitude Of our forces have not
been overestimated. The determination
of our people cannot be overrated. We
realize the critical conditions that con-
front us. But we will work out our sal
vation. We will fight out our cause, and
the time has come when we are in the
spirit to fight it out in any way the right
demands.
Cleveland's election was an especial
calamity to the south. In Alabama,
upon Wednesday after Tuesday, the day
Of the national election, the democrats
conceded us four congressman and de-
clared the state to be "in doubt" The
returns from the usual ballot box stuff
ing precincts were being withheld. When

Bional committee, before the ability Of
the sheriff Of the county to maintain the
peace had been considered or Rscertained,
and regardless of the right and duty Of
that officer to seek reinforcements,
should it become necessary, from the
regularly constituted authorities. The
lawless act led to the tragedy that fol-
lowed, and the company that instigated
it is morally responsible for the conse-
quences If legal responsibility does not
attach, it is because the law has been
adjusted to the selfish requirements Of
the rich and the powerful and does not
equally protect the poor and the weak.
While the moral sense Of the nation
recognized the intimate connection be-
tween the Pinkerton army that was
hurried to the front at Homestead and
the succeeding trouble-a connection
that was noted and seriously commented
on from the floors Of congress-this fact
has not prevented the Carnegie COM
pany from malignant and cold-bloodsd
prosecution of every striker who could
be implicated upon the evidence Of
Pinkerton spies-evidence that mem
Der Of the Pinkerton force declared to the
congressional investigating committee at
Chicago last week was worthless, since
the conditions Of that service are such
that premium is offered for perjury.
An old Pennsylvania law has been re-
vamped for the benefit Of the Carnegie
company, and upon such mercenary evil
dence a number OF the Homestead work
ers have been indicted For treason. Il
10, forsooth, no violation OF the Pennsyl-
vania statute which forbids the invasion
of the state by an armed force, when
capital descends to the trick Of trans
porting the force on one train and an
arsenal upon another and arming the
men within the state line; but il work.
men resort to the only means left them
for making terGs for their labor, or IL
they defend themselves and their homes
from the lswless invasion Of hireling
desperadoes, they are guilty Of treason
and liable to prosecution under various
forms.
The Carnegie company is part Of an
extensive combination Of corporate
bodies that have conspired to crush out
labor unionism, that labor may be placed
at their mercy and made subject to the
infamous financial and industrial con-
ditions by which the masses Of the peo-
pie are oppressed and undergoing slow
process Of pauperization that the bulk Of
all wealth may be absorbed and enjoyed
by comparatively very few persons.
There will be nothing better in store
for labor than the Homestead outcome
until wage-workers make common cause
at the polls against concentrated capital
that is used primarily for self-augmen-
tation, secured by legslized plundering
process operated against the producing
millions.-Rocky Mountain News, No

referred brought in report recommend

Hebrews IN Russia. and requesting the
President TO use his good offices with Russia
in their behalf. Mr.. Rayner. of Maryland,
one Of the members of the committee,
who has vigorously urged that Congress
take some sufficient action 20 aid the per
secuted Russian Hebrews, expressed IN
the committee great dissatisfaction with
the resolution reported, saying that 1t was
merely one OF sympathy and was OF nc
practical value. The matter went over
until to-day. when Mr.. Rayner again made
