"The Alliance Lives and VIII Contin-
ne to Live i'm Spite Of Mistakes and
Outside Attacks"

The following editorial ap-
peared in the National Econo-
mist of Oct. 10th just tefore
the Memphis meeting:
Many old familiar names are
on the list Of delegates to the
Supreme Council, and the edi-
tor of the Economist anticipates
with pleasure the hope Of again
meeting the old workers, and
comforting together. We have
now hac experience. We can
no longer be blown about by
every breath of doctrine. The
man who wants something done
or a certain policy pursued can
no longer frighten Us by saying
that the order will 60 to pieces
if he fails. We have had ex-
perience, and know that this or
der now lives, and believe that
it will continue to live and pros.
per in spite OF our mistakes and
blunders, and that the RESPONSE
bility is now resting on US to
profit by the mistakes Of the
past, and under the guidance of
Divine Providence do the very
best we can to-day. We have
no fears of and no time to lose
on the slanderer or the backbi-
ter, we have had them on hand
all the time, ready to miscon-
strue every act and word of our
officers and workers, but a little
time has always been sufficient
to vindicate the right. because
these fellows cannot long keep
their object hid, ana that ex-
posed, they destroy themselves.
Now a word to the delegates:
The man who has an ak to grind
will try to get up strife and dis
cord, try to center interest on
those present and stir up pref
udice. The true friend of the
order will forget the personali-
ty of those present-especially
it they differ on other things
and concentrate effort on meas
ures calculated to build up and
strengthen the order and there
by benefit the millions now
working and waiting at home.
the above was true before the
meeting and true after the meet
ing.-ED.

What it Means.

This Third party is a reading
party. It is also a writing and
talking party. Right or wrong
it has reached a magnitude
which entities it to serious con-
sideration, for it means revolu-
tion. 1t does not carry bombs
up it's sleeve, and it does not
mean to follow Parsons to the
gallows, but it does mean revo-
lution.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-12-01

much, and at the same time has
driven the opposition and many
men (whom we once respected
and honored) to stoop to such low
methods, trickery and corrup-
ton that they have lost their in
fluence and hold upon the peo-
pie. Yes, the Peoples party is
stronger to-day than it was on
the morning of the 8th day of
November, and we are wiser
than we were before the cam
paign begun. So if-the protec-
ton of the peoples rights must
at last be accomplished by the
Peoples party, we have now
been better prepared for the
work. So let us believe that our
mistakes and defects were de-
signed by Providence for our
good but at the same time re-
member, that the Lord helps only
those who help themselves.
Therefore let US go to work now
for the next fight, and do our
whole duty.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-12-01

We are now devoting most OF
our time fighting political evils,
results OF bad Legislation because
they seem 10 be the greatest cause
of depression. Hence we are in
politics, but as soon as YOU will
JOIN with us toremove these evils
then we will be cut OF fpoliticS and
devcing our efforts to the other
great objects of the organization.
Yes, join with us to remove the
cause. 1t is your interest, it is
ours. Sooner or later the men OF
town and country will learn to
pull together, and both combined
will right the wrongs of which
we complain and give full and
equal opportunity to American
citizens OF every industry in the
United States will start with new
impetus. | will GO back to the
mother State of North Carolina
and tell her how her fair daugh-
ter, Tennessee, has rivaled, yea,
outstripped her in old-time hospi-
tality, and all the delegates, when
they reach their distant homes
will join IN praise of the unshnted
courtesy and generosity of the in
habitants of the "Bluff Citv."

GENERAL WEAVER.
Democratic Power will be Short
Lived, While the Republican
Party is Dead Forever.

Party is Dead Forever.
Gen. Weaver came out of the
Presidential campaign in excel
lent health and with cheerful
spirits, and is just as sanguine
of the future success of the
political movement he is now
identified with as he has ever
been. He believes that Demo
cratic ascendency will be short
lived; that the Republican
party will never enter another
contest, and there is no relief
in tariff reform; the financial
question is the great problem,
and that relief cannot come ex-
cept through the free coinage
of silver.
''The Populists succeeded in
the late election far beyond
their expectations said he,
sand have demonstrated their
strength as a political factor in
American politics. We have
carried almost as many States
as the Republican party has
carried, and have been defeated
in a half dozen States by very
thin margins, which amounts
to practical victory. They
hold the balance of power in a
large majority of the States of
the Union, and better still, will
hold the balance of power in
the United States Senate. This
will enable them to act as a
breakwater against vicious leg
islation, and will equip them
to force the great economic is
sues to the front.
'The Republican party is as
dead as the Whig party was
after the Scott campaign of
1862, and from this forward
will rapidly diminish in
strength in every State in the
Union, and can never make an
other campaign. All their
great leaders have been killed
off, including Depew and Nc
Kinley. 1t was our vote that
defeated Harrison in Illinois,
Indiana and Wisconsin, and
side-tracked Mckinley in Ohio.
The Populists will now COM
mence a vigorous campaign,
and will push the work of or
ganization and education in
every county in the Union.
It's organization is now ma
tional, from sea to sea, and
from the lakes to the Gulf. A
conference of its leaders will
doubtless soon be held at some
central point for the purpose OF
thoroughly marshaling the
forces of the new tythrough-
out the country. Great West.

Don't Get Mad With a Fool.

Never get mad with a man
who considers his views are, be-
yond question, correct, and are
superior to reason, for il he is
correct, mortals have no busi-
ness to attempt an argument
with one so superior to man;
and, if incorrect, they have no
business to fool away their time
or lose their temper on such an
ass. Never get mad with a
fool.-Ex.

AT Memphis, in converse


from Iowa, we referred to the
methods employed by the oppo-
sition in the political campaign
in North Carolina. Among other
things we told him how the Dem
ocratic machine tried to destroy
our influence by charging that
we were canvassing in the inter-
est of Harrison, and that we were
paid by the Republicans to do it.
He looked at me a little puzzled
for a moment and then said !:
"Why the Republican machine
tried to work the same game on
me in Iowa. They charged that
l was canvassing in the interest
of Cleveland, and that l was
paid by Democratic money to do
it." We sat and looked at each
other, and it dawned upon us
that the Democratic and Repub-
lican machines had gotten to-
gether and mapped out the same
line of policy for this campaign,
and that they both had the same
object, and that was to crush out
the reform movement. Their
plan was to make odious the
men, and to break the confidence
of the people in the men who were
facing the fire of the machine
and championing the cause of
reform. There was one varia-
ton in their methods. Up in
Iowa they charged on Bro. Grif-
fifth and the other reformers that
they were in sympathy with the
rebels, and wanted to put the
Southern brigadiers in the sad
die again; down here they hol-
lowed NEGRO" at US, and
charged that we were trying to
turn over a million white people
to the "control, domination and
supremacy" of a half million
negroes. There is one other va
ration, and this will surprise
you. Up in Iowa the politicians
and newspapers of neither party
used the partisan utterances of
General Weaver's, nor tried to
make capital out of his war
record at Pulaski or elsewhere.
This was because it was the
home of General Weaver, and
they knew that the people knew
the truth. To have made such
attacks in Iowa would have lost
them votes.
~ AS every one knows the
putting out of a State ticket by
the Peoples party was against
our judgment. We were over
ruled by a large majority. But
the majority now no doubt agrees
with us, and sees that we were
right. If the fight had been
made on the line we argued, we
believe the State could have been
carried for General Weaver. We
thought so then; we think sc
now. But as great as the mis-
take was, and as damaging as il
has apparently been, we have
no quarrel with those who disa.
greed with us, and who are re-
sponsible for such course
They acted conscientiously, and
from the most patriotic motives,
but they were mistaken. But il
does no good, and we have nc
time now to argue over past mis-
takes. Let us make the best OF
it. We all agree now, SO let us
put our shoulders together, and
fight for the future. 1t may be
after all that Providence had q
hand in it, and that it is all fol
the best. An immediate victory
might have turned our heads
and put us to fighting over the
spoils. Such a victory, with such

and gulped down a glass OF cider. Mr..

didn't take time TO explain, but hurried to
the drug store aud told Pierce Weston that

out asking any questions. While waiting
for the medicine 20 take effect Mr.. Weston
sought Mr.. Allen and learning from him that
he only frightened the darkey and that he
had taken no poison, went back to his store
and told the darby that it was all joke Mr..
Allen had put up on him. But the good
news came too late. the darby was already
beginning TO fell the signs Of distress which
he mistook for the uncanny grip Of deaths

about twenty minutes he came in and asked
for some medicine to stop de misery" He
had spent his last dime for ipecae but prom
ised Mr.. Weston the first dollar he could
get il he would give him something to set
sic de misery in his insides." Mr.. Weston
told MIN that he would just have to wait
until the medicine spent Its force and when
the stores closed for the evening the negro
was still wrapped around a wagon tongue
10 the rear OF the drug store, engaged in
regrettlng his experience with the cider.

Dun's Review of Trade.

NEw YORK. May l3-Says Il. G. Dun
e. Co.'S weekly review of trade: The con-
tinuance of very unfavorable weather
throughout large part OF the west be-
gins to cause apprehension regarding the
crops Of the year. In all other respects
the situation appears satisfactory. and
at most points the prospects for trade
are considered more hopeful. The money
markets are everywhere easy with a
visible improvement in demand at few
points.
The receipts of wool, wheat, corn,
cured meats. lard, butter and cheese,
show some decrease while the increase is
seen in dressed beef and flour, 20 per
cent in cattle and hogs, third in rye, a
laege increase in hides and fourfold in
barley.
Foreign trade in April was remark
able. Exports of cotton, breadstuffs,
provisions. cattle, and oil amounted to
S54, ,34O,077, against S47 ,6G5,224 for the
same time last year, with decrease in
cotton because Of the lower prices, but a
heavy increase in breadstuffs and cattle
This month exports from New York
show gain OF q per cent thus far over
last year, and meanwhile the imports Of
last year are barely maintained. The
business failures that occurred through
out the country during the last seven
days number 175 as compared with the
total OF 307 last week. For the CORE
spending week last year the figures were
327.

4 Magnificent Ring.

When Father Mcdonnell was recently
made bishop Of the diocese of Brooklyn
he was presented with magnificent
ring by gentleman, who intended the
gift as a tribute to the memory of his
deceased son. The rings center is a
large amethyst from the Ural noun
tains. Around it are sixteen half carat
brilliants. The crown of this ring is in
the shape adopted by the church for its
episcopal seal, form suggested by the
pisces (fsh). The shank is chased in
high relief, picturing on one side Muril-
los Virgin of the Immaculate Concep-
tion,' the patron saint of Brooklyn.
The model Of the virgin in this repre-
sentation is the woman of Apocalypse
in a robe of white, her hands crossed on
her breast and her feet resting OH the
crescent, the symbol of purity. On the
other side is the patron saint of Bishop
Mcdonnell, st. Charles Borromeo, robed
in the vestments of priest. The pic
lures are garlanded with ivy and violets.
suggestive Of purity and constancy. The
ring is sign of the spiritual alliance
that exists between the bishop and his
church. 1t is like the seal of their con-
tract. He wears it on the foreinger Of
his right hand, according to the custom
of the Hebrews, because this is the
finger that indicates silence.
