it make it the worse-for you; do not
fret and wax angry when you read
tkat another big strike has broken
ont, or that the farmers have passed
new resolution Or have discovered
a new crime and are determined to
make war over it. That is the fool
ish part to take, and there is danger
in it as well. The action of these
laborers and wealth creators is proof
positive that the mechanism of our
Industrial system is out of gear with
the need, of the time, the demands
of justice and the march of progress.
If you cannot look at the circum-
stance from the benign attitude of

RALEIGH. NC Dee. 3. 1891,

RALEIGH, n. c., Dee. 3, 1891.
Mr.. Editor-I notice that the press
of the State hardly refers to Col.
Polk's address at Indianapolis; and
yet, it is not only remarkable pre-
sentation Of Alliance demands, but
Of the political ills which now beset
us. Many things he said have been
said before, but he says them better
than 1 have ever seen them said. 1t
seems to be that every paper inter
ested in financial reform will find
something in it to advance our COM
mon cause against common ene-
my. They may not like Col. Poke
personally and may not wish to ad-
vance his interests in any repect, but
they ought to seize the remedy-made
| weapons of personal enemy even
to fight the common enemy of man
kind. If they do not hate such an
enemy more than they hate any ner-
sOnal enemy, they cannot lead in
this great war against plutocracy.
Like Patrick Henry, we ought to use
| every weapon which "God and ma
ture" have thrown in our path; then
we will win as he did. The narrow
policy of partisan prescription must
soon pass away. We must put prin-
ciple before party. The test of here
sey hereafter musL not be the mere
adherence to an organization or par
ty, but the advocacy of principles
and interests which are dearest to
the people, and to which every party
ought to subscribe. There can be no
difficulty about the rectitude of our
party affiliations if we advocate the
right principles. Churchism is not
favorable to christianity, and party
ism is not favorable to reform
Churches, and parties will take care
Of themselves if religion and prin-
ciples are faithfully promulgated. If
[ could hear less talk of the Demo-
cratic party and more talk of Demo-
cratic principles, I should have more
hope Of reform. A Democratic par
tisan "belongs" to the party and he
will not ask many questions about
whether it is right or wrong. A
Democrat from principle will see to
IL til1G ulo patty VI oohiO pesi ~ oman
advocate what is right. One makes
party the standard or criterion of
right; the other makes right the
standard or criterion of party. Much
if not most of what Col. Polk said
is the best Demo cracy ever saw. If
my party is hurt by it, then it needs
reform. Does Democratic paltyism
stand in the way Of the triumph Of
Democratic principles Then let us
have less of it. If the "partisan"
press cannot accept aid from any
source they put their party above
their principles, or make party test
of principle. Person ally, I care for
nobody in this fight, but want fair
play for everybody.
If the press CT the State will treat
Col. Polk f,irly when he is right,
they will have more influence with
the people to correct him wnen he is
wrong.-W. J. Peele, in Prog. Far.

A Powerful Realistic Story of
Western Life

We take great pleasure in an
nounelng to our readers that in the
January Arena will appear the open
ing chapters of powerful story by
Hamlia Garland. 1t will be one of
the most thrilling novels of Ameri-
can life that has beeh written i'm
many years, depicting conditions in
the great West with that wonderful
fidelity which has made Mr.. Gar
lands "EIain-Travelled Roads" one
Of the most popular and nos, talked
of books Of the year, The social
and political changes which have
weighed so heavily on the great
commonwealth Of farmers west of
the Mississippi, the rising tide of
discomfort which eliminated in the
unparalleled political cyclone Of last
autumn when swept over Kansas.
burying from from view the $4,000
normal majority of the dominant
party, and demonstrating, as never
before, tie power ana majesty of
the masses in a nineteenth century
republic. Never has there been SO
significant an illustration Of the
power Of the people when once
awakened as in this unprecedented
struggle of the pleasant and artisan
against dominant thought, entrelch-
ed conservatism, majority of more
than four score thousand, well
organized political machine, and a
powerful daily press. 1t is one of
the most suggestive and significant
Passages in contempOraneous his
tory, and the facts involved, wrought
into the Woof and web of this story,
will give a special interest aside
from the charm arising from Mr..
Garland's power Of depicting real
living, breathing personalities, who
appeal most powerfully to. the lea
der. IA Spoil of Office" will be
the finest and most faithful study
of Western life and conditions that
has ever appeared. 1t will be rich
in lights and shadows, humor and
pathos, ambition and selfshness,
nobility and political treachery, de-
preston and defeat, exaltation and
enthusiasm, while through the
whole story, like threat of gold,
will run the noble, all-sustaining
love Of brave, hieh-minded Aneri-
can woman. In short. it will be
story Of life to day in the West. The
characters in this work will be
found real men and women. No
writer of to-day is f'reer from the
fault representing puppets for per-
sons than the author of" "Main-Trav-
elled Roads," AS Mrs. Louise |
Chandler Moulton well observes:
"His sympathy with humanity, his
PERCEPTION of the subtlest meaning
Of nature, his power to bring his
people before you as if you had
grown up in their door yards-these
are his own,"
