TIME FOR IS.

The legislature has been in session
just one month. Ne have seen many
bills introduced. Banks, churches and
towns have been incorporated. Dog
tax has been discussed. The farmers
have been given some fatherly advice.
A great many bills Of no value have
been introduced and passed or tabled.
The tariff on wildcats has been reduced
to a revenue basis" Many petitions
have been presented to prevent the sale
Of liquor near the Barium Springs
Orphanage, signed by people who vote
for liquor to be sold right at their own
doors every election. Also bills to al
low the free passage Of fish" in this
or that stream, when really the entire
legislature armed with shot guns
couldn't prevent fish from going up
the streams. We have seer all this,
yet we have not seen a single bill in
trOduced that has any connection with
Or resemblance to the platform that
this legislature was elected upon. 1t
is high time that something be done.
The legislature should either shoot or
give up it's gun. In order that the
members of the legislature may know
what is expected of them, we publish
the platform below upon which all the
Democratic members were elected.
Any crank can see that it relates en-.
tlrely to national matters, but still the
legislature is expected to enact all laws
suggested in the platform:

A DEATH.
Henry Smith, A Texas Negro Pays The
Penalty of a Fearful Crime.

PARIS, Tex, Feb. IA mob of angry
men and women, numbering thousands,
wreaked the most frightful vengeance
of lynch law to day upon Henry Smith,
a burly negro, who outraged and muir
dered little four year old Myrtle Vance
on Thursday.
Too powerful to resist, they took the
prisoner from the guards bringing him
here, dragged him by a rope about bis
neck to the scene of his crime, sub,
jected him to every conceivable tor
ture. and there burned the pitiable
wretch at the stake.
All the morning trains had brought
people by the hundreds to this city,
whites and blacks alike, to await the
arrival of the guards, who were bring
ing the prisoner back from Texarkana,
where he had been captured. The
country for miles around had become
wildly excited over the attrocious
crime, and the hunt for the brute
murderer. When the news came last
night that he had been caught and
identified by members of the Paris
searching party the people seemed

she has got reckonsi ed now"
-"What is the matter with the

B.-"Wcli, blamed il know. Betsy
is s0rter supcrstitioUs an histerIcky
sometimes an thinks she sees hants an
lots Of things. She was bothered this
time fer fear that the legislature would
repeal the internal revenue law. Betsy
is powerfully opposed to liquor an she
seed so many partitions comm IN
forbiddin' the sale of ticker within
three miles If churches an things 1t
sOrtcr excited her. | kin git along
with ticker purity well myself providiu'
it keeps off at a safe distance from me,
but Betsy IS down on 1T an she thinks
it would be a big kalamity fer the leg
islater ter repeal the revenue law"
R-''The repeal Of that law does not
come within the jurisdiction of the
State Legislature. Congress alone can
deal with that matter"
BIS that SO? Well blame my
cats if l didn't read it in the platform
last year an some of TIL candidates fer
the legislator last year said if they
were elected they would knock the
]revernew system higher Q q kite. Me
an Betsy thought hat as soon as they
got the tariff repealed they would
tackle the revernew business. Betsy
wants ter know if the EDITOR Of the
KrOnikIe has Joined the Alliance an if
his paper is to De the organ Of the new
non partjzan Alliance what the smart
folks are wantin' to organize. l reckon
they won't let anybody except little
boys an gals jlne it, fer if they let
grown folks in it would be partizan."
RI can't tell about that. Wall

chine"
B." Whut has got the matter with
that Teller Bell? He is a cuttin' up an
prancin' around like a bee in a tar
bucket, Isee he gets after you editers
an after the business agent an every
body. Betsy says they oughter give
him plenty er paregorick an git him
sorter reckonsiled so they can exhibit
| him at the Worlds Fair this summer. :"
R-"He evidently has two objects
in view. One is to get an office, the
other is to injure the business features
Of the Alliance"
B.-"Betsy says he wants ter break
up the State Agency 50 that Teller from
Canada can organize cleveland free
trade clubs" an sell free trade goods
much cheaper than the State Alliance
Agency. reckon Bell has had a talk
with Mister Lashaw, ov Canada. Betsy
says Bell had better go back to Clay
county an pillow a steer a little while
an learn a little discretion"

was on the hunt for hay seed up there9
He states in his letter Saturday that be
arrived in Raleigh on the 1st of Janu
arv. He has been here muchor all the
time since. Wonder if he IS plOughing
in the Capitol when the Legislature is
in session? We insist that Capt.
Roberts keep his eyes peeled, for
Farmer Bell may plough up the
grounds around the Capitol.
Farmer Bell goes on to attack the
leaders of the Alliance by insinuation.
He then charges in a round about way
that the Business Agency fund is not
managed properly. This contemplate
scheme was attempted just after the
election. 1t vas brought to the atten-
ton of the Executive Committee in
November. They foundnOthing wrong.
This Clay county farmer will now have
to prove his charges or stand convicted
of making statements that he cannot
s~ubstaniate, no matter whether he
makes them or hear say or on his
own responsibility. This is a deep laid
scheme to make the Alliance members
lose confidence in Bro. Worth, State
Business Agent. 1t has failed every
time so far and will fail hereafter, for
the BUSHES Agent is doing more bus
ness than ever before, and he has more
honesty and integrity than a car load
of his aocusers.
TINS farmer and non partisan winds
up his letter as follows: "It is my
humble opinion, if we poor t~oilers, as
we are called, are ever saved from
~plutocracy and ruin, it will be done by
the honest yeomanry registered under
the Democratic banner" Now that is
mon partisan" talk The outside
enemies of the Alliance cannot do the
work desired. and it Will be seen that
there is not enough Farmer Bells in all
the land to stop the course of the

TERRIBLE TALE OF THE SEA
Shipwrecked Sailors Draw Lots as to
Which Shall be Eaten by
his Comrades.

HAMBURG, Jan. 31.-The three sea-
men from the Norwegian ship Thekla,
who were rescued and were landed
here yesterday by the Danish bark
Herman, were cr8zed by their suffer
ings in the rigging of tae laundering
vessel. Two of them recovered sufh-
GENTLY to day to tell the story of the
voyage.
The Thekla was in heavy weather,
they say, from December 2, when she
left Philadelphia. The decks were
flooded almost constantly, deck houses
and rails were swept away and the
steerage apparatus was broken.
When it was found that there was
no hope Of bringing the ship into port
the master, mate and eight seamen got
away in a boat. The other boats were
smashed by the waves before they
could be lowered. Nine men were
obliged to remain in the rigging.
They were unable to get food from
below and five of them, made insane
by exposure and priyation, jumped
overheard.
The other four remained on board
from December % till January z, the
day of the rescue.
On the thirteenthda lots weredrawn
to determine which one of the four
should be killed and eaten.
The lot fell twice in succession to a
Dutch sailor, and he was strangled and
devoured raw by the other three.
The only drinking water the seamen
got was the dew they licked from the
ropes.
