EDITORIAL NOTES.

Bro. P. A. Dunn, of Wake Forest,
was in the city Wednesday.
That letter of Bro. Jack Turner.
our National Secretary, is a "rattler,"
Read it.
We haven't seen any better re-
formp paper than the Cincinnati Herald.
It is a hustler.
Chicago is stirred up over the
doinss of a "baronet" who is said to
be an ex Jail bird.
Col Harry Skinner, of Greenville,
was in the city Wednesday. His faith
in the Sub Treasury is mistaken.
Bro. c. F. Mccarthy, Of Chat
ham county, gave us a pleasant call
Thursday. He is solid for reform.
The boys are not going to wave
the "bloody shirt" during this year,
but look out for the ''ragged-shirt."
Now is a good time for Alliance
men to keep their own secrets. At
Eend to your own business and let
~others do the same.
~ We saw a man blowing land not
dong ago when it was too wet. Don't
do this. It ruins the land and our
prospects for a crop.
~ Bro. w. J. Rogers, of Northamp-
ton county, spent two days in the city
last week. We are glad to know that
his health is improving.
- The fellow who robbed a womaIr
"a years old in Allegheny county the
other day ought to go into politics.
ale is mean enough, sure.
: ~ This is the month of March and
q good month to plant upland corn.
Plant every spot in corn you can this
year. Raise your own supplies.
The gentleman who is now get
ting a lot of free adverti- ing is said to
live in Warren county. He has fell
out with the Alliance, ah, we'll, you
know the rest.
Along about now you can find
out who has the Alliance real bad and
who has not. Some Of the fellows who
want Office and have been promised
one haven't got it bad.
See the appointments of Bro.
Butler and Harry Skinner, beginning at
Clinton on the 18th and ending at
5tatesville on the 10Th. Bro. Butler
will continue at other points by him
self Aduortiae them.
The AsheviIle Democrat and other
Ypapers state that the North Carolina
and ether Southern delegates withdrew
from the st. Louis Convention" We
are authorized by the delegates to say
that this is absolutely false.
Bro, W. L. Kivett, Business
Agent of Randolph county, passed
Through the city Wednesday on his
vat to Baltimore, where he will pur-
chase goods for the Exchange at Lib.
erty4. Bro. Kivett is one of the solid,
tide awake young Alliancemen in tn
tate.

LET 1T BE UNDERSTOOD.

That the Alliance, as an organization,
cannot be converted into a political
party. 1t had the largest delegation of
any n organization in the st. Louis
Conference. But it did not have more
than n fourth of the aggregate mum
Der. A large majority of the Confer,
enc was for prompt action by the
body in favor of a new party, but in
Difference to this recognized restraint
on the Alliance, that action was de-
ferred until the work of the Confer
had been completed and it ad-
jOurned. But almost every delegate,
in his capacity as a citizen, with thou
sands of other citizens, joined in the
great ratification mass meeting, which
was held Immediately on the adjourn
ment of the Conference and ratified it's
action and appointed a committee to
confer with the central committee Of
the Peoples party to arrange for a
time and place to hold a National Con
ventiOn to nominate candidates for
President and Vice-P President of the
United States. This joint committee
met and decided on July 4th as the
date, and the city of Omaha as the
place for the convention, and issued an
address calling upon the people to hold
meetings on the last Saturday in the
present month and ratify the platform
adopted by the Conference and to ar
range and organize for representation
in the National Convention-four for
each Congressional district in the
United States and eight for each State
at large.
This statement of facts is made to
show that so far as the action of the
Conference went it did not change the
relation of the Alliance or any other
organization, as such, to~the political
parties. It did not nor could not bind
the Alliance, as an organization, to the
Democratic, the Republican or the Peo-
pies party. No one man, no n thou,
sand men, could do this. No power
could force it's members to remain in
the Democratic or Republican parties
no power could prevent them from
going into the new party. The Con-
ference left every man Just Where the
Alliance principles places hinl-on his
own Individual responsibility to do as
he pleases, guided by an honest and
earnest purpose to discharge the high
duty of taking such political action as
will best meet his honest convictions
and secure the enforcement of his
principles.
Then what is our duty as Alliance
men? Plainly, it is to stand closer
than ever by our organization. At
tend the meetings, promote, in every
honorable way, it's glorious principles
and strengthen it at every point in it's
grand work of educating, elevating and
unifying the farmers of the country.
Cultivate for0earance, charity and
fraternity among ourselves. Discuss
methods and policies in a spirit of
kindness and concession, but stand as
firm Gs Gibraltar on principles. Vote
for no man nor party which opposes
u principles-vote only for the man
or party which truly and honestly
stands by our principles. This has
been the teaching of the Alliance from
the day of it's birth. This is u only
safety, our only hope.

hearts of the republic and the uplifting
of mankind.
Second-Wealth belongs to him who
created it. Every dollar taken from

shall he eat. The interests of rural
and urban labor are the same, their

&C Poisoning.

Some careful experiments have been
made by eminent pathologists On poison
by the sumac, the result indicating an
almost perfect identity in the result
with the disease known as ~erysipelas,
and it is suggested therefore that the
same remedy may be used for Rhus
poison as for the trouble in erysipelas.
A lather Of common potash soap, made
strong and applied with a shaving brush
on the affected parts, is a well known
and effectual remedy. Those liable to
be poisoned by this plant will do well to
remember this.-Meehan's Monthly

The Largest Pair of Shoes.

A Georgia shoemaker has finished the
largest pair of shoes ever made for actual
use. 1t took a piece of leather contain
ing 1,O4O square inches to make the
uppers, and n of 1860 square inches to
make the soles, or exactly 5000 square
inches Of leather altogether. If the
leather contained in that pair of shoes
were cut into strips an eighth Of an inch
wide it would make a string "a, 900 inches
long. The soles of this gigantic pair Of
shoes are IA inches long and 81 inches
wide. The two combined tipped the
scales at exactly So pounds.-St. Louis

Then the wind Ceased to Blow.

One of Kansas City's prominent Cit
ens was escorting his wife along the
street during the high winds of Friday
when they were caught by a particular
ly strong breeze and almost lifted off
their feet. The citizen caught hold of a
brass rail and his wife chung to his arm,
but the citizens hold was loosened, and
two fingers were sprained. His wife
was torn away from him and driven
across the street. AS she sailed away
he called after her:
Its an i'll wind that blows nobody
good"
That produced a calm, and as the wife
returned the smile departed from the
citizens face.-Kansas City Times.

lean Club 10y Professor George Gunton on " The
Philosophy Of Protection was delivered last evening
at the clubhouse IN Flfth-ave.
Protection Is generally spoken Of by those not in
favor of it sort Of local question said the
Professor Their idea Is that It Is 10 protect one per
sons interest that 1t is the farmers against the
rCsl of the country, the mO0Oposts against every

Just the reverse. some say that the Government which
governs least is the best but take some exceptions

position where government Is not needed, then We are
perfect; but have not reached that condition
yet.

orally considered to be. Protection Is generally con
ildered to I've merely tariffs. tariff Is but one Of
the thousands Of forms to which the system Is applied
Protection IS the policeman function Of society, as
our fiee-trade friends call IT, and the policeman
function applies In many ways. 1t applies to the
Army, for instance. Armies are form Of protection
which countries have not yet abolished And - It
goes down TO the school commissioner, who Is not
vet abolished. Protection Is the guarding of the
present acquired rights and other rights with prospect
Of future development
"What are the resources Of nation the rivers, the
soil and the forests 1t is the people the character
Of the people The rivers and the soil Of no
account whatever except that they are n benefit to
the people. None Of us need be told that the ciuc;-
tional forces are the Intellectual development Of man
Kind. A man doesn't grow strong by rubbing mp
against acorn-cob or pine-trce, but by coming In
contact with all mankind. People need motive for
whatever they do. Protection has multitude OF
