THE NEGROES GETTING ARMS

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May "A rumor
was circulated in this city at a late
hour last night that a large body Of
armed negroes had assembled and
would shortly march to Gooolettsville.
More than 200 of the best citizens of
that town armed themselves and waited
to resist any movement on the part of
the negroes. While the negroes are
doing a great deal of grumoling among
themselves-strictly not within hear
ing of white people. as several were
severely dubbed for this offense on
the day of the lynching-it is not be-
lieved that they have the courage to
attempt any open demonstration.
Up to this hour it is not believed any
have left this city for Goodlettsville.

MILLEN, Ca, May "A man named
Robert Hines, supposed to be from
Columbus, Ga, was put off the down
passenger train this morning by Con
ductor Story and put in charge of the
company'sphysician here, DR.. Perkins.
The man had taken four ounces of
bromidia and was SO far gone that it
was impossible to revive him, so he
died about sunrise this morning.
He had several letters in his pocket
from the demimOndeof different cities.
He also had a subphoena to appear at
court at Americas, Ga.
He will never testify.
He appears to be quite young and
his untimely end is quite pathetic,

S TO DEATH.

C~OATEsvILLE, Penn, May IAN
east-bound freight train on the Penn
sylvania Railroad was wrecked by a
broken brake rigging near this place
about midnight last night, both tracks
being blocked. A west bound train
composed of mail and express cars was
due at the time, and before i5 could be
signaled ran into the wreck. The
locomotive of the latter train was
thrown from the track and buried in
an embankment.
Harry ShultZ, engineer, and Harry
Martin, fireman, Doth of Philadelphia,
were caught in the wreck, and Martin
was roasted to death, his body being
almost unre 1~Ognlzable.
ShultZ was terribly scalded before
being rescued and is in a critical con-
ditiOn. Several express cars took fire
and were consumed. The tracks were
blocked for the rest of the night.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, May 1.-WhiIe a
west-bound Central Hudson freight
train was taking water at Churchville
Station at 12:20 o'clock this morning
another freight train bound west came
along and crashed into the caboose of
the standing train. A number of cars
were thrown over upon the east-bound
track, and a minute later an east-bound
train came down and the engine
ploughed into the pile of wrecked cars.
w. II Zones, of Buffalo, the engineer
of the east bound train. was killed in
stantly and his fireman, +. Richard
son, "a slightly hurt. Engineer g.
II. Smith and fire man Burns, of the
train that ran into the stationary train,
jumped just before the collision. Smith
was not hurt but Burns was bruised
about the head and injured in the right
side. He is at the City Hospital here
and will recover
The wreck caught fire from an oil
car, and the body of Engineer Zones,
which was pinned down by the wreck
age, was burned to a crisp. 1t was re-
covered this afternoon. There are 1.-TWO
explanations of the III of the acct
dent. One is that the standing train
had no signals or fagman out to warn
an approaching train. The other is
that the engineer of the moving west
bound train was asleep in his cab.
Twenty five cars, many of them
loaded with goods. were destroyed be
fore the wrecking train sent from this
city at 3 o'clock this morning had the
fire under control.

Convention. Then call a halt and SCI
what has been done.

Some of the political papers now &C
use the Alliancemen of say ing that
" whatever the majority are for is De
mOcracy." Great gewhilikens! gentle
tlemen; that has been the Democratic
song for years and years. Don't De
mOcracy mean the will of the ma
jOrity," according to the common in
depreciation? Anyway, the st. Louis
platform is good enough Democracy
for us. On to the fray, boys! let's put
it III somebody's platform.
Don't be uneasy about the straight
outs They will swallow every bit of
the Ocala and st Louis platforms and
beg for more. Their bluff game is get
ting weak. But there must be enough
to hold them down. G. to the pri-
maries. Take your knitting along and
spend the day.
Let the straightouts bolt if they want
to. None of the honest, sensible
straightouts, r going to bolt if a
reasonable platform is made. If the
fools and rascais want to bolt let them
go. No party al succeed if they con-
troll it.
W 44O14 q PO44UlC4OA asks NOu IL YOU

or not you will stick when you see the

convention.

On the other hand a ''straight-out"
Democratic State ticket might have
been elected. This would have been
making no improvement. Really it
would have been making things worse.
But if the people will turn out to the
primaries and send honest, brave men
all through to the State Convention,
the State will be saved from both mis-
fortunes and we will get as much re-
form "a through a new party, and not
u the risk of losing all chances,
SOME SECRETS EXPOSED.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER, not being
a partisan paper, naturally falls be-
hind in getting political news. But
this week we expose some gigantic
tricks that are being worked through
out the State. The Alliancemen and
farmers generally T determined to
capture the Democratic machine"
They ask everybody to help them cap
ture the critter and ride with them.
We are aware that this does not ex-
actly meet the approval of some of our
people. Thousands of farmers who
have been affiliating with the Demo
cratic party think other arrangements
might have been made. To be plain,
they think that nothing but a new
party will fill the bill. Thousands Of
Republicans, in and out of the ALI
ance, having lost hope in their party,
and having no faith in the Democratic
party, they naturally want to vote
with a new party. To be plain again,
we think all of them are right. While
we are willing for Jul demands to go
before the national conventions of both
the old parties, we have no spark of
hope from the monopoly-controlled Re
publican party, nor from the New Eng,
land controlled Democratic party. We
repeat that we have absolutely nc
hope and cannot advise Jul friends to
depend on them.
The Alliance has declared against
dealing in futures" time and again.
Yet the politicians want us to swear
that we will support any and all plat
forms they make and any and all
candidates they put out. Gentlemen,
let us see your candidates and yOul
platforms. Then, # they are all right
you may swear Us.
Your Uncle Zeke Rilkins says he il
ready to bolt any convention that has
met, may meet, or that is likely tC
meet; but adds that he is going to see
what the convention does before he
bolts. He says further that when the
dinner bell rings he doesn't know
whether he is going to get a square
meal or not, but after an hours hard
work at the table he can make a pretty
correct estimate.
The Wilmington Star says: "The
truest and most thoughtful men in the
Alliance to day, those who wish to SET
it perpetuated, are trying to keep il
out of politics." Yes, they are true
Those who are untrue are the ones who
are trying to make it the Democratic
Third or Republican party. Blu
they can't make" The Star would like
to see the Alliance bossed by the Dem
C cratic party. But the reverse may
be true.

At present we see no other chance.

to keep his mouth closed, be he Rep Ib-

EXTRACTS
GO INTO THE PRIMARIES.

Go into the primaries. Go by all
means Take yourself and your neigh
bors. Make it a poin5 to see all your
neighbors between now and Saturday
and urge them to go.
That was the substance of our advice
last week. We purposely delayed all
this untiI o. late hour so that the pOliti
clans could haze plenty Of rope
enough to hang themselves. They have
had it and have hung themselves. But
now is the time to act. Let every man
who desires reform, whether he is a
member of the Alliance or not, act and
act quickly Let four Or five days
hard work be done this week and vic
tory will perch or our banner. Read
this paper carefully Read the lines,
read between the lines, read every
thing.
The State Executive Committee and
several township and county executive
| committees have tried to intimidate
the people by telling them that if they
believe in the Ocala or st. Louis plat
forms they had no right in a Demo
cratic primary or any convention. This
is absolutely f ,lse. They can no more
interfere with your rights as an Amer
lean citizen than they can keep you out
because you are a Baptist and believe
in immersion or if you are a Methodist
and believe in falling from grace.
You may believe in the Ocala and
ST. Louis platforms; you may be in
sympathy with the Third or Peoples
party platform; you may be a Catho-
lie or Presbyterian; you may be a Ma
son or Odd Fellow; you may believe
that the earth is round or fiat as a pan
cake; you may be a lifelong Republi-
can or Prohibitionist. But if you want
to go into the primaries that meet next
Saturday, if you believe that a major
ity of the reformers of the State will
be there with you, if you believe that
this is the surest policy to win, then
no man can interfere with you and you
can take part in those primaries and
subsequent conventions. No man has
a right to question your motives. No
man has a right 10 object to your tax
ing part on account of your past pollt
icaI affiliations. Mark that.
Many people will vote the ticket on
account of the name,- so we want to
give them a chance. Another thing:
Our complaints are mostly national,
hence we can afford to divorce State
and national politics.
The people have caught on to their
tricks. They e the game. They I'M
derstand the methods of the machine.
The Alliance Democrats r going to
break the machine in the party, or
thew will break 1.-The party" which
clings to the machine. If it will not
be reformed it must be destroyed. The
part of the party which needs reform
is the machine element in it, which
controls it.
