gusta Fixed at So 10.
COLUMBIA, 8. c., Feb. s-The recent

standard Of joint fertilizer rates for the

INCIDENTS.

There were some interesting and amusing
incidents in connection with the electoral
count not recorded in the official proceed
Ings. The older senators and members
could not refrain from commenting in
private on the contrast between the eX
tremely pleasant surroundings of to-day's
undsputed count and the angry mutterings
of discomfort which accompanied the count
of sixteen years ago, when at each entrance
to the capitol soldiers with fixed bayonets
we're stationed to exclude from the
building every one who could not
show proper credentials emitting him
to admission. Even members Of con-
gress we're challenged, and on the floor
representatives made vigorous and fiery
protests against the capital of the nation
being cordoned by military force. To-
day everything was peace. But there was
some humor. The strict rules Of the House
governing admission to the floor were sus-
pended, and as one member, evidently not a
friend of female suffrage, remarked: The
floor Of the House looked as the Senate
would look If the popnlists of the western
states eventually succeeded in electiuR
woman senator's"
The first break in the decorum OF the pro-
ceedings, not counting the merely inciden-
tai applause which greeted the announce
ment Of the votes OF Illinois, occurred when
Judge Chapman Of Michigan, evidently
more familiar with the names of the demo-
cratic candidates than with those of the re-
publican ticket, proclaimed that California
had cast one vote for "Whitey-Law Reid"
for Vice President. The ripple of laughter
which greeted this announcement was i'm
creased into roar when the Vice President
subsequently gave Judge Chapman another
republican state to handle and he persisted
in giving "Whitelsw" in three syllables in
stead of Bwo.
The Vice President distributed the cer-
tifcstes with an impartial hand among the
teIIers. Senator Blackburn announced the
result of the states committed to him In his
deep sonorous voice and with abundance of
verbage.
Henry Cabot Lodge cut everything short
and generally omitted the fact that the
gentlemen named had been elected Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United
States, simply saying President aud Vice
President.
Senator Hale was careful and methodical.
Secretary McCook carefully gathered up
each certificate Original and duplicated as
handed him by page after they had been
read and thrust them into big brown paper
envelopes.
The curious vote Of North Dakota. dis
tributing one each to all candidates was
greeted with derisive laughter.
When the count was closed the great au-
dience dispersed quietly.
One enthusiastic individual In the gallery
caused some slight merriment by waving q
large sombrero and shouting, "Hurrah for
Grover Cleveland"

Mr.. PEELE CORNERS THE SILVER DEM
AGO6UES.

In another column will be found
an article from Mr.. w. J. Peele. The
column is headed "What is the mat
ter with it?" Mr.. Peel's article is
on the 1.-THE parity of the metals"
He sent it TO the Washington Post.
that paper refused to publish it. He
then sent it to the Atlanta Consti-
tuition which claims to be friendly to
silver, that paper declined it with
thanks" The New York World ig-
nored it entirely. Now we ask what
is the matter with it! The Post and
World while opposed to silver, both
claim to be fair papers and willing
to give both sides a hearing, while
the Constitution claims to be in ia
vol of silver. We think the trouble
lies in the fact that Mr.. Peele says
he is in favor of putting the two
metals on a parity, by taking gold
out of the gold dollar instead Of by
| putting more silver in the silver dol
lar. By this suggestion Mr.. Peele
kills all their Intrinsic value" dema-
goguery at one blow. In short the
man who claims that he is in favor
of free coinage if you will put a dol
lars worth of silver in dollar is now
silenced. Such "a demagogue does
not dare to oppose Mr.. Peel's sugges-
ton, for then he would stand before
the world self convicted dema-
gogue, liar, and scoundrel. We
want to thank Mr.. Peele for com
pletely shutting their corrupt and
lying mouths in SO unique manner.
OF course the World, the Post and
the Constitution saw this point, and
so could not afford to publish it, as
it would expose the demagogury of
| their argument.

WIN THEY ARE COMING BACK.

Those who know but one side of
the matter may be disposed to doubt
the statement to the effect that the
Alliance is rapidly gaining stength
in North Carolina. The ordeal it
has passed through has actually
done the Order good. Such men as
J. S. Bell and J. A. Stevens have
been shown up in their true light.
Neither OF them had a cent in the
Business Agency fund and both Of
them has caused more loss to the
Agency than any other two men.
Other so-called Alliancemen who la
bored to have the charter repealed
and who have sown seeds of discord
and stopped to the blacklist methods
to shake the confidence of the mem
bership, had no money in the fund
and no foundation for their SANDER
Gus charges.
New members are being added ev-
cry week. Old members who were
influenced by these treacherous
scamps, who were led to believe that
something must be wrong, now see
that the organization is as clean as
it possibly can be and only needed
to get clear of such political trick
sters as Bell and Stevens. The best
men in the Order are renewing their
allegiance now that they see it was
the thieves who were crying 'stop
theft" If all the honest farmers of
the State knew the rottenness of the
small politicians AID some of the
editors who are daily and weekly
slandering the Alliance, they would
all renew their allegiance, or join If
they have never been members, at
the very first meeting of their
nearest Aliiance.-Prog. Farmer.
