Dec. 3Ist, 1892.
At a regular meeting of Friend
ship Alliance the following reso-
lutions were unanimously pass
ed and sent to THE CAUCASIAN
and the Progressive Farmer fol-
publication:
I. That we extend to Brother
Marion Butler our sympathy in
his great loss by fire of his print
ing press and fixtures, and hope
he will soon be able to issue his
paper from his own office and to
stand sentinel on the watch tow
er guarding the interests of the
laboring classes in the future as
faithfully as he has done in the
past.
.. That as President of the
State Alliance, we have seen no
cause to regret his promotion to
the responsible and trying po-
sition as it has been in the polit-
ical campaign that has just end
ad-a campaign that will long
be remembered as one of the
most abusive and slanderous that
has ever been fought by the white
oeople of North Carolina.
2. That as Elector of the State
at large on the Peoples party
ticket there was no mistake, for
he bore our flag on high wherev-
er he unfurled it, fearlessly and
to the satisfaction of his friends
as shown by being made Vice
President ofou National Organ
ization, for which we take this
pportunity of thanking them
and to assure our brothers of the
great northwest that we fee
hopeful that the time is near
when we will unite our votes or
one solid ticket for reform, anc
place men in Office that will give
US the financial relief that the
agriculturalists so much need.

Special Correspondent.
PIKE, N. c., Jan. Is, 1898.
Mr.. EDIToR:-The great cam
paign of 1892 did not only stop
with the election. It is going
on now and will wax stronger
through 1898. While it may
seem from one standpoint that
we were defeated, yet such is
not the case. The great truths
that have been brought to light
are still fastening themselves
on the minds Of the people and
will logically take possession Of
the people and govern their ac-
lions; then we will see the full
results of the campaign of '92.
Then fruits of this campaign
will yet burst forth and bless
those living anG generations
unborn. then they will look for
the name of L. l.. Polk and Ma
rion Butler and others, and
arise and call them blessed.
The spirit of unrest that has
arisen among our people is the
result of unjust conditions, and
this restless spirit cannot be
made quiet until these condi-
tions are made right, and all
causes removed, and never will
the campaign of 1892 be ended

Nothing would please Petit

or destroyed. They all have a
painful knowledge that some
how le Alliance had something
to do with the defeat of the Re-
publican party in the last cleo
ton. They do not propose to
take any chance, so they have
"set the gait" to prevent any
Alliance work for 1898.
Farmers of South Dakota, ii
rests with you whether the plan
formulated by the "gang" OF
South Dakota will prevent the
organization Of farmers into the
Alliance, whether or not you
shall fight for the demands in
your own way or accept the
dictum of these self constituted
"cranks" who regard all the
men as chair Drained fanatics
who do not follow a line of pol

The Red Hill Union.
The Alliance Union at Red
Hill on last Saturday was quite
success, in spite of the sleet
and snow and extreme cold
weather. The writer was in
vited to address the meeting. He
went, but did not expect to find
a dozen present, but to our sur
prise and qualification we found
enough delegates and members
of the Alliance to more than
| half fill the commodious church.
| The brothers expected to have a
public address and dinner. They
had erected a large table and
put up a stand in the grove, and
decor ated it in holiday style.
We spoke indoors, but went out
on the snow and enjoyed an ele-
giant dinner. There would have
been over 1000 people present
If the weather had not been so
severe. The Alliance is stronger
in that section than it was
month ago. The ladies are tax
| ing an interest in it.

THE GAME LAWS.
Several Amendments to Them Are
Proposed.

Several Amend ments to Ihem are
Proposed.
There are a great many sportHmen
who feel an interest in the changes in
the game laws proposed in the preeent
legislature. There are o number of
them, and they were all introduced by
Assemblyman III. f. Emeric, who is
keen sportsman himself. They
have been consolidated in one general
bill, which has passed committees in
both houses. The state fish commits
sioners have indorsed all the Emeric
bills. while many sportsmen, who follow
the chase or dangle the hook simply
for enthusiasm and love of sport,
favor the bill, but there are others who
find things to criticise and oppose. The
proposed measures, if passed, would, it
is claimed, seriously affect pot-hunters,
squirrel-baggers, night duck and deer
hunters, and all hunters who follow the
pursuit of killing game at all times and
seasons as business proposition. The
new laws, it, is figured, would cut into
the trade OF cartridge dealers, and might
shave the revenue little of the powder
and shot men.
The general provision of the proposed
laws are as follows. IF they pass, all ex-
listing game laws that conflict are re-
pealed:
Extending for two years longer the
law prohibisingstbe killing of deer in
California. This law was passed two
years ago and the time limit will expire
July 1st.
Extending the close season for doves
(now March 1st to July 1st) to August
1st, each year.
Making it misdemeanor for any ex-
press or transportation company to bring
game into the state when such game ia
not in season in this state. This is cal
culated to prevent dealers from shield
ing themselves from prosecution, ae they
do now, by saying that game exposed
for sale is from outside the state.
Making it miedemeanor for any cold
storage company or any one to have in
their possession game which is not in
season.
Prohibiting the killing of game al
night; designed to prevent deer slaugh-
tering by use of ''jacklights !" also the
wholesale destruction of ducks.
Making every sheriff, constable and
peace-of1icer of the state deputy game
and fish warden. allowing them $40 q
day for each arrest and 500 more for
each conviction of violation Of the
game laws.
Providing for the appointment by the
court of special counsel for the prosecu.
ton of the game laws, in cases where
the district attorney declines to act as
prosecutor.
Giving the fish commissioners power
to "post" all stocked streams for any
period not longer than three years.
Making it unlawful to expose for sale
any trout, including book trout, which
are less than eight inches in length.
Prohibiting residents of one county
from hunting or fishing in another
without first securing county licenas
or an invitation to hunt or fish from 6
property owner or lessee of the county
in which it is proposed to hunt or fish
1t is this last measure that is mos
strenuously objected to. This, it is be
,,;~-.a, would serve to check whole trail
loads OF hunters descending in q body
ana depleGfng certain sections of all
| game.

expeusively and almost as charmingly.
A cloak for summer or winter wear is
most unique. The lining is of very rich
silk-bAck velvet, and the yoke of
the same. From the yoke hangs
almost priceless lace. OF course through
the lace the silk back of the lining of the
cloak shows. We are not all go rich as
that, but if you have such an heirloom
as beautiful old lace shawl, there ia a
use for it, and the rest of the expenAe
can be eluded by lining the velvet with
silk. To tell the truth, if the elk is a
perfect match no one will know. Still
no one could fail to know what it was
that showed through in the cloak ssw.
1t was the silk back of the velvet inside
the cloak.
The third picture is of handsome
house dress in cloth and plaid silk. The
skirt is opened at the left side to admit
a panel of the silk. Three large buttons
are placed where the skirt is joined just
above the panels. There is zouave
jacket bordered with pasaementerie.
Feathers and not etiffening is what you
should put in your sleeves to make them
stand out stiff and crisp. Feathers are
light and hold their place and resume
their shape if they are crushed. Hyou

get at least pair of enormous sleeves
and perhaps bertha ruffie to so over
the shoulders and to point in front.
Mere scraps of brocade, left-overs and
bits will do for atop puff on the sleeves,
or even ruffle to hang over the top OF
the under puff OF plain goods, and 30 add
to the richness of the whole; surely
a much more artistic use of goods and
bits than when we used to cut up
stuff to make little bands for collars and
cufis, and, perhaps, belt. Now that

back than at the front. The lace which
falls over the front and back is draped
TO cover nearly all the shoulder seams
The corselet Is made on whalebones;
these bones occupy the place of the
waist seams. For this purpose one is
placed in the middle of the front, one
between the darts and one on the under
arm seam the remainder of the sash
being knotted at the back does not re-
quire to be boned. The material for the
seeve is cut very full and gathered on to
the lining, 80 that it stands up at the top
in two little horns. First find the mid
die of the material. and then the middle
OF the tight-ftting lining and make a
notch on each. Then proceed to gather
the material in the usual way, beginning
about two inches from the bend of the
arm. and stopping about two inches
from the notch in the material. Fasten
the gathers on the lining, stopping an
inch from the lining notch then recon-
mence to gather two inches from the
other side of the material notch, thus
leaving four inches plain in the center
of the material. Fix these gathers to
the lining also, leaving an inch on this
side of the lining notch plain. Then
take the material which is loose at the
top, and drawing it well up from the
sleeve, from the two little horns on the
plain part of the lining, making them
stand out we'll from the contour of the
sleeve. This way Of draping the sleeve
is quite new and gives an air of orinin-
atty to the dress. The military collar,
to which the lace is attached, fastens on
the shoulder.
