COmmendable Action by Col.
Ored People.

Not long since meeting of color
ed people in Choctaw county adopted
the following resolution which is com
mended to the races in other sections;
Resolred, That, we the colored citi-
zens of Choctaw county and vicinity
band ourselves together in regular

acters out of our county, we have
nothing to fear, morally, financially,

race, in the name of humanity and
above all, in the name of God. Dear
white friends, will you indOrse this

"Articles Of Necessity" for the
White House.

"The jewelers. Circular" trade
paper of this city, thus describes il
its issue Nov. Is, 1891, a "magniiicen
cut glass set for the White House
manufactured by n dealer in Murray
street, New York:
"This set consists Of AZ dozen pieces
of stemware, comprising waterbottles
decanters, goblets, wines, cham
pagnes, and finger bowles, of which
there are five dozen of each. There
are no fiat pieces, as dishes and bowls.
The appropriation was not large
enough to cover the cost of set in
cluding every variety of article made
in cut glass, SO only those pieces
which may he considered articles of
necessity were made. As it is, the
cost of the set is estimated at $1,000"
Five dozen "wines" and five dozen
"champagnes" as"articles of necessi-
ty" for the table of a Presbyterian
deacon, who was elected President of
the United States on platform which
said that "the chief concern of all
good Government is the virtue and
sobriety of the people and the purity
of the home," and which committed
him to cordial sympathy for "all
wise and well-directed efforts for the
promotion of temperance" furnish an
edlfying spectacle for the young men
of America. But the country was pre-
pared for it. That barrel of Scotch
whiskey which Carnegie sent the
President last month and which is
now in the White House cellar, show
ed clearly that the Presidents "cordi-
al sympathy was in need of some
thing strong and bracing!
The leading article week before last
in the New York Independent, reli-
gious weekly, concludes as follows:
"Tested by any standard which we
apply to men in private life, Benjamin
Harrison is notable example of our
best civilization, and his Administra-
ton is worthy of the man."
We remember that Rev. S. V.
Leech, Methodist minister, gave an
equally glowing bill of character to
Levi p. Morton, who, as one of his
first acts when he became Vice Presi-
dent, established the toniest drunk
ardfactory in Washington and that
Rev. DR.. Henry, Baptist preacher,
also through The Independent, laud-
ed the Christian character of j. SlOat
Fassett, whose little"German lunches
have now become famous.
1t is an ALFRED poor politician who
can not, nowadays, hook the church

other.-The Voice.

A Terrible Indictment is it
True?

A secular exchange makes the fol-
lowing observation, which the LEAD
Err regrets to believe contains entirely
TOO much truth. Though only true in
part, the very fact that such charge
is honestly and sincerely made by an
outsider, should put ministers and
Christian people generally to seriously
considering:
Moral action is being divorced from
religious observances and the churches
everywhere are losing their influence
in the community. Nothing is de-
nounced from the pulpit which is
practiced in the pews. The aim
seems to be to make the congrega'
ton feel as comfortable as possible
and the preaching is negative and
remote from the real needs of the
hour. How long this can continue il
a serious question for preachers an1
churches to consider.

The OcaIa Demands,

Ia. We demand the abolition of national
banks.
b. We demand that the government shall
establish Sub-Treasuries or repositories in the
several States, which shall issue money direct to
the people at a low rate Of interest, not to eX-
ceed per cent per annum, on nOn-perishable
farm products, and also upon real estate, with
proper limitations upon the quality of land and
the amount of money.
C. We demand that the amonnt of the cir
culating medium be speedily increased to not
less than $50 per capita.
.. That we demand that Congress shall pass
such laws as will effectually prevent the dealing
in futures of all agricultural and mechanical
productions providing stringent system of
procedure in trials that will secure prompt
conviction, and imposing such penalties as shall
secure the most perfect compliance with the
law
g. We condemn the silver bill recently passed
by Congress, and demand in lieu thereof the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
T. We demand the passage of laws prohibiting
alien ownership of land, and that Congress take
prompt action to devise some plan to obtain all
lands now owned by aliens and foreign syndi-
Gates, and that all lands now held by railroads
be reclaimed by the government, and held for
actual settlers only.
5. Believing In the doctrine of equal rights to
all, and special privileges to none, we demand
a. That our national legislation shall be SC
framed in the future as not to build up one in.
dustry at the expense of another.
b. We further demand removal of the exist
ing heavy tariff tax from the necessities OF life
| that the poor of our land must have.
c. We further demand a just and equitable
system of graduated tax ON incomes.
d. We believe that the money OF the country
should be kept as much as possible in the hands
| of the people, and hence we demand that all
national and State revenues shall be limited tC
| the necessary expenses of the government econ
Omically and honestly administered.
@. We demand the most rigid, honest and Just
| State and national governmental control and
supervision OF the means OF public c0mml
nicati0n and transportation, and IL this con
/ troll and supervision does not remove the abus
es now existing. We demand the government
ownership OF such means Of communication
and transportation.
Z. We demand that the Congress OF the United
States submit an amendment to the Constitution
providing for the election OF United States
| Senators by direct vote OF the people OF eacl
! State.

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas, the general condition of our cOun-
try imperatiyely demands unity of action on
the part of the labOring classes, reformation
and economy, and the dissemination Of prin-
cipleS best calculated to encourage and foster
agricultural and mechanical pursuits, encOur-
aging the tOiling maSSes-leading them In
the road to prosperity, and providing a just
and fair remuneration for labor, a just eX-
change for our commodities, and the best
means of securing to the labOring classes the
greatest amount Of good we hold to the
principle that all mOnOpOlieS are dangerous to
the best interest of our country, tending to en-
slave free people aud subvert and finally over
throw the great principles purchased by the
fathers of American liberty. We therefore
adopt the following as our declaration princi-
pies:
l. To labor for the education of the agricul-
tural classes in the science of economical gov
ernment, in strictly non-partiSan spirit and
bring about more perfect union of said
classes.
.. That we demand equal rights to all, and
special favors to none.
3. To endorse the motto: I'm things es-
sential, unity; and in all things charity.
4. To develop better state mentally, morally,
socially and financially.
>. TO constantly strive to secure entire har-
mOny and good will to all mankind and brother
ly love among ourselves.
G. To suppress personal, local, sectional and
national prejudces, all unhealthy rivalry and all
selfish ambition.
:. The brightest jewels which it garners, are
the tears of the widows and orphans, and its
imperative commands are to visit the homes
where lacerated hearts are bleeding; to assuage
the suffering of a brother or a sister bury the
dead, care for the widows and educate the Or
phans to exercise charity toward all offenders;
to construe words and deeds in their most favor
able light, granting honesty of purpose and
good intentions to others and to protect the
principle. of the Farmers Alliance and indus
trial Union until death. Its laws are reason
and its equity cardinal doctrines inspire purity
of thought and life. its intention is ION earth
peace and good will to man.

An Alliance exchange says the
farmers are getting fatigued over so
many articles just now, written by
men who earn their bread by the
sweat of their jaw, advising the
farmers to work harder and spend
less and diversity their crops. These
editorials are very often the product
of men who don't know the difference
between a sweep and broom, be-
tween scraping cotton and picking it
yet they, in the abundance of theil
agricultural wisdom, discharge ;

about the farming business with al

Whisky.

advice to friend in these words:
My Dear -: One gallon of whisky
costs about So and contains about
sixty. five 15-eent drinks. Now if you
drink buy gallon and make your
wife the bar-keeper. When you are
dry give her Is cents for drink and
when the whisky is gone she will have.
after paying for it, $6.75 left, and
every gallon thereafter will yield the
same profit. The money she should
put away so that when you have be-
come inebriate, unable to support
yourself and stunned by every
respectable man, your wife may have
money enough to keep you until your
time comes to fill a drunkard's
