Those who have read the volumes of
this series, so far issued, declare that
GA Century too Soon" is decidedly the
most interesting, both as to the histori-
cal incidents, which are full of excite
ment, and the fascinating romance with
which they are interviewer. The period
covered by the book is a period all too
briefly described by American his
torians, and for this reason is all the
better suited for the groundwork of an
historical romance.
Among the English colonists in
America at this time, the two principal
classes were the Cavaliers and the
Puritans. The former were Kings
Men" or rOyalists, the latter, as a rule,
republicans. Sir William Berkeley. a
tyrant and lover Of royalty, who de-
clared that he thanked God that there
were neither printing nor public schools
in Virginia" because these were pro
meters of personal liberty and popular
advancement, was Governor of Vir-
ginia and leader of the Cavaliers. A
clash between the classes was the in
evitable outcome OF Berkeley tyranny
and selfish greed Bacon's rebellion,
failing On the very eve of victory, be-
cause of the brilliant rebels untimely
death, came just one hundred years be-
fore the great revolution, which
achieved the independence of the
American colonies

Notice from the National Secretary
Treasurer.

COLUMBIA, s. c., April Is, 1898.
There seems, from my correspond
ence, to be some misunderstanding as
to the location Of the office Of the Sec
retary-Treasurer. Therefore I desire
to give notice that the office is now
located at Columbia, s. @.
The Supreme Council at the Memphis
meeting decided that it was not neces
8ary to have the Secretary T~reasurer's
headquarters at Washington, D. G.
Since my acceptance Of the position
the Office has been opened in this city.
The future can only decide the wisdom
or otherwise, OF this change. Onefact
is already developed-the office q be
run for much less expense here than at
Washington.
All Communications for the Score
tary-Trcasurer will be addessed to me
here.
I desire to urge upon all the State
Secretary-Treasurers the necessity of
reporting to me at as early a day as
possible; the arrears due the Office are
retarding the regular work very much.
| am glad to report very cheering
news as to the status and enthusiasm
of the Order throughout the entire
country.
In an organization covering so large
an area there will appear to be diversi-
fed interest; hence, petty differences
and jealOusies will arise. Let US strive
one and all to sUbmerge these minor
matters in a united effort for the ma
terial and financial advancement of
our general interest. Allow me to urge
the entire membership to come to a
united determination to forever bury
all personal grievances and work for
the common good.

tions, the proceedings of the Memphis

which are furnished the members at
cost of publication; also other Alliance

SATURDAY, JUNE II, 1893.

"WHERE are we at" is question that
our populist and democratic brethren
are yainly endeavoring to solve. The
democrats do not, in the slightest de-
gree, indorse the populistic theories or
their communistic tendencies; their doc
trines are utterly and entirely reconcile
able, yet, in Kansas, we find them con-
tinually conspiring together and the
democratic party actually surrendering
its organization to assist their populist
allies. What was the issue? What So
cial, moral or economic principle was
involved that would justify such pro-
cedure2 On the other hand where was
the principle that inspired the populists
TO elect John Martin? Martin is
democrat and will doubtless be in full
accord with Cleveland on the silver
question which Weaver declares is the
paramount issue. He has characterized
the pension list as being largely COM
posed of mendicants, while large num-
Der of his supporters are pensioners.
What economic principle actuates the
populist party in thus supporting John
Martin? Several years ago we incurred
the everlasting animosity of our popu-
list friends by declaring that the ALI
ance was an annex of the democratic
party. Were we rightP We have no
reason for changing our views. They
work together tremendously and for
each others interest at every opportu-
nifty. They have common purpose and
only one-the political spoils. Principle
and platforms are flung to the winds
when a position of any kind is in sight.
They 90 to battle fighting under the
same chief and moved by one common
impulse-spoils. In order to work to-
gether each must assume all the politi-
cal colors of the rainbow and all the
combinations of hues those colors are
susceptible of in order to meet the d.
versifed phases of the political situation
in Kansas. They fight in guerilla style
when it best suits them and consolidate
when the exigencies (spoils) demand
that kind of warfare. This will be kept
up indefinitely and until the hetrogene-
Gus mass consoidates permanently I'M

WE REALLY and heartily commiserate
our reform editors in Kansas. They
don't know what to do. They are afraid
to antagonize their democratic allies be-
cause they may want help. They don't
dare to take them to their arms for fear
some populist of republican antecedents
might object. They are silent on the
question of fusion because their leaders
have not fully determined the matter
and for the further reason that the dem
ocrats have not decided among them
selves whether they want to be used
again to pull alliance chestnuts out Of
the flames. They have discarded all of
their distinctively populistir ideas such
as the sub-treasury scheme, government
warehouses, etc., and their leaders are
not quite ready to formulate new the
cries. They must touch mildly on the
silver question for, don't you kngw, they

"THE world owes me living" is one
of the most vicious falsehoods, and often
used as an apology for laziness and in
competency. The rule is the reverse.
We owe the world an honest, upright
industrious life, and in return, the
world will give us living. The world
is full of glorious illustrations of this
truth We see young men rise from
obscurity and poverty to reputation and
wealth, and we wonder how they have
been so successful. 1t seems mystery,
but the whole mystery lies in their
strong self reliance, backed by indomi-
table perseverance. They commence
right. They continue right-and they
end right. If we mark the history of
such a man we shall invariably find
that he has been a hard worker and
that he has husbanded his earnings and
added them to his capital instead of
spending them for foolishness and lux
uries which he could not afford. The
world offers the same opportunities
to-day that it did century ago. Thous-
ands have carved out fame and fortune
for themselves-why not you? The
world owes you nothing. Fortune will
never come to you unless you work for
it and you would't keep it if you did.
When young man once makes up his
mind that there is no royal road to sue
cess but that it will only be attained by
work and economy he is on the right
road and the chances are greatly in his
favor of ultimately reaching the goal of
his ambition. Depend upon it there is
no other way. Shun the man who be-
lieves the world owes him a living. He
will never get it if he lives along that
line, unless he steals it. Instead he
will receive hunger, contempt degrade
ton and, Ultimately, the almshouse.
Trust your brains, economy and indus
try for living and you will always get
it. Backed by courage and strong self
reliance, fixed and resolute purpose to
succeed and there are but few who can
not and will not attain the object for
which they strive.
