The Alliance and Party Machines.

Certain newspapers and pol
itlcians are now trying to dam.
age the Alliance by charging
that it is party machine. This
is false. The Alliance is above
all parties, and is more impor-
tant to the farmers and labor
ers of the country than any
party. No party will ever give
justice to any class of citizens
who are not organized. This
is a selfish world, and every
man and every class of men
must look out for themselves.
Parties give justice to those
only whom they fear. Parties
do not fear a class Of people
who are not organized. They
will fear and do more for 800
men organized than they will
for 1000 unorganized. 1t is
absolutely necessary for every
class of citizens to be organ
lied for protection, and to get
justice. The Democratic party
is now in power. The farmer
who voted the Democratic
ticket never needed an organi-
zation more than now. His
party is now in a position to do
something for him, and other
men with the same interests.
He must be in a position to
force his party to do what it
should. Nothing will have
more influence on the Demo
cratic administration to give
the people the needed relief
than for the Alliance to grow
and strengthen each day. Ev-
cry true Allianceman desires
reform-desires justice more
than he does the success of any
party, and will be satisfied if it
comes through any source. If
the Peoples party, which is
pledged to every reform de-
manded by the Alliance, were
in power, the Alliance would
be just as needed then as now.
The Alliance is necessary not
only to purify politics and ele-
vate parties, but also to keep
them pure, and force them at
all times to respect the rights
and needs of the people. AL
ready politicians in all parties
fear the Alliance, and the mo-
nopolies fear the Alliance more
than they do any or all parties
combined. No, the Alliance
is not a party machine, but it
is a terror to all party ma
chimes, and to all corruptors of
government.

Buying Votes.

Buying Votes.
The Republicans have been
outdone in the vote buying bus
mess this year. The Democrats
by making certain promises
and pledges got their hands in
to the money barrels of the
bankers, railroad kings and
other monopolists for this cam
paign. In the first place four
hundred thousand dollars was
sent South last spring to have
Cleveland doomed in the news
papers; the Syracuse anti-snap-
pers convention cost over $780,
600; the Cleveland headquar-
ters at the Chicago convention
spent over $500, 1000. 1t took
this much to get him nomina-
ted. Then it took nearly $4,000
900 to elect him. What corpo-
rations furnished this money?
How will Cleveland pay them
back?
We give below partial list
of the amounts of Doodle sent
out from the national Demo-
cratic headquarters during the
last few days of the campaign.
Over a million dollars were
used for buying votes during
the last few days before the
election; a part of it was dis
tributed as follows:
New York State, $500, 900
New York city, 100000
Indiana, 100000
Ohio, $4,000
Virginia, $4,000
West Virginia, $4,000
Connecticut, $4,000
North Carolina, 10000
Ycu know we told you just
after the election about Chair
man Simmons going to New
York after the Doodle, one
thousand dollars Of this forty
thousand dollars was sent to
Sampson county. Now how are
these corporations that fur
nished this money to be paid
| back! They do not want the
money paid back, but they want
special legislation which will
| give them a chance to steal fif-
ty times as much from the peo-
pie. What will our representa-
tives in Congress and the State
Legislature do about it ? We
will watch their votes and tell
you.

Sacred Nuts of japan.

Although well known to travellers and
collectors OF curiosities. the horn nut, or
sacred NUT" Of Japan was almost wholly
unknown to fruit and nut dealers in this
country prior TO 1888, when a Broadway
New York; commission merchant received
the first large consignment. They are
called sacred nuts" because used in GER
tain forms Of japanese worship, where
they are placed on the altar and ignited
Being very rich in oil they burn with a
hot, blush flame and give off a peculiar
odor, the fumes being supposed to rise as
an acceptable incense to the gods They
grow under water and have a leaf like an
American lily, the form Of the nut itself
being an almost exact counterpart Of an
Asian buffalo's head, dropping horns and
all. In the raw state they are hard and
tasteless, but when cooked the flavor re-
sembles that OF boiled chestnuts They
are said to retain their edible qualities for
upward of twenty years.-St. Louis Re

1t was town in Texas, and a good many
families from the north had settled there;
men and women reared amid refinement,
who had had some Of the edges knocked
of it in the rough and tumble life OF a new
state but who still recognized the worth
Of it, acknowledged their lapses somewhat
sadly to themselves and were anxious to
pick up any Of the new wrinkles of polite
society.
A wealthy New Yorker, who had a broth
er-in-laW and some investments in the
town, went down there one winter, on the
way to Mexico, for his health. 1t was de
cided to give him dinner, at which the
local Texan gentlefOlk could meet the rich
visitor and his fashionable wife, who was
with him
The dinner went Off with success. The
rich man was jovial fellow and his wife
afTable. The Texans, however felt a little
nervous lest they should commit some
breach Of the proprieties and they watched
their guests manners closely. Now, the
rich man was a big eater, not to say
greedy one, and his wife had to watch over
his meals on account Of his health. He
wanted some ice cream, and she protested
to him, under her breath, that it would
surely make him i'll. He insisted, and she
dilated on the discomforts of sickness in a
Texan town. 1t was no use. Finally she
said; "Well, if you will have it, Henry,
put some brandy on it, for PHYS sake.
That may save you from cramps in your
stomach, which your obstinacy richly de-
serves and the cream is almost sure to
give you"
So the rich man poured liberal dose Of
brandy over his ice cream, under protest.
declaring that the compound was far from
a luxury When he glanced around the
table and was about to apologize for his
queer taste, he saw people on both sides Of
the table gravely deluging their ice cream
with brandy.-New York Tribune

a Suggestion Concerning Late Dinners

Suggestion Concerning Late Dinners
If we could all see that amusements, thai
society, the frequent intercourse Of friend
ships, the intellectual meetings of minds
are as important to the human well being
as any other cultivation, or as any earthly
acquisition, we should be willing to set
apart some time for society as its due.
Now, how is it, We give up the day to
two things work and eating-even the lat
ter not being 50 much enjoyed as it should
be for want Of time. The claims of society
are crowded into the flag end Of the even
ing People, by that time, are not in very
good trim for society, and especially for
another meal They have little life to
give to company, and if, in response to
the tender hospitality, they 90 to a friends
house and eat fourth meal, they do so
with little enjoyment and at the expense
of health. All this might be changed with.
out violence to our business or to our rea-
sonable customs
Take the case Of evening parties. In
stead Of calling them at late hours, in win
ter, say, let them be held not later than 6
o'clock. Let the supper or dinner, as the
case may be, be served AS soon as the guests
arrive, so that it would take the place OF a
regular meal This would only require
men and women to abandon their usual
dyocations an hour earlier than usual In
a word, to take into account social life as a
necessity. Assembling at g. the company
could disperse at about the usual time now
of gathering together There are few PEG
pie who will not agree that this would be a
sensible practice. New York Ledger.

she said she had lost her brush q don't

Relics of Columbus.

The Department of State has re-

Minister at Madrid a formal note
from the Duke of Veragua, grant
ing the request of the President for
the loan of the relics of Columbus
in the possession of his descendants
for exhibition at the Worlds Fair.
The Duke, in his letter, says: 81
feel truly gratified in stating
which statement I request you to
communicate to the President
that I place at his disposal the
autographs and documents which
F keep in my archieves and por-
trait of the Admiral, copy of the
one which exists in our national
library, and, in my opinion, offers
the probabilities of authenticity.
"Entrusting them to the care OF
the people and Government of the
United States, [ am entirely sure
that they will be guarded with an
interest equal to that which L feel
for those precious relics of the Dis
covery of the New World, and I
only regret that they are not more
numerous and of greater value in
order to reciprocate the courtesy
which you have extended to me-"

fOnso XII, son Of Queen Isabella, as
cended the throne, the civil war having
terminated in his favor. He was only
seventeen years of age, and had been in
exile for six years. Much against the
wish Of his mother the young king mar
ried his cousin Mercedes, daughter of
the Due de Montpensier, but she only
lived q few months. Reasons of state
rendered it imperative that the king
should ls:arry again, and the choice of
his ministers fell upon the young Arch
duchess Christina, the daughter of Prin-
cess Elizabeth of Austria. The mar
riage took place on Nov. 80, 1879, and
the infanta Marie de las Mercedes was
born in the September following.
IN 1882 another princess was born, and
three years later, on Nov. %, 1885, the
king, who had long been suffering from
consumption, died, leaving his little
daughter queen of Spain and his widow
queen regent. However, it was known
that this arrangement might be only a
temporary one. as should the child which
was expected prove boy he would
naturally succeed to the throne. The
little queens reign lasted only six
months, for on May II, 1886, her brother
was born, and was at once proclaimed
king of Spain.
Alfonso XIII was measured for his
first pair of shoes at four months old,
and on the same day 300 poor children
ifss~Madrid were presented with new
shoes in honor~of the event On the
kings first fete day, Jan. 90, 1887, so, 600
of the poor in the capital received
name, founded q hospital for the or
phans of officers.
At the age of eighteen months Alfonso
XIII opened the session of the cortes.
On the throne of the emperors and kings
of Spain sat the nurse, an Asturian
peasant named Raymund&, holding the
baby sovereign, dressed all in white,
upon her knees, while round him stood
the queen regent aud The infantas and
lower down the grandees, the digni-
taries, the diplomatic body and the
great state functionaries. The queen
regent read the speech from the throne,
and when the ceremony was over the
little king, who had only interrupted
the proceedings once or twice, was car
ried home III his mothers arms.
Alfonso XIII is not strongly built,
and at present is in bad health. He is
lively and talkative, but occasionally
has fits of silence and melancholy, for
he is reared in loneliness, and has no in
innate playmates of his own. From the
time of his birth he has had u separate
establishment with distinct set of Off
Gals, civil and military. He is not a
pretty child, but has very winning ex
preston, and is said to show remark
able resemblance to his ancestor, Charles
