NEWSPAPER

It has been only a short time since
the New York papers and others called
the reform element anarchists, y
"revoIutiOnists" and other pet names.
Now these papers themselves are get
ting bad names. The Neus and %
serUer is talking this way about them:
We have observed with increasing
surprise the attitude Of the New York
press towards the Senate. It's tone is
revolutionary. The writer's in those
sheets have proceed step by step in in
science until they have at length ar
rived at the point where their teach
ings are, as we have said, revolution
airy. This surprises us because behind
those papers are the money bags of the
country, and money-bags are proverbi-
ally conservative. The course of these
New York sheets is, however, calcu-
lated to divest Senators of their legiti
mate responsibility and to bring the
legislative department of the govern
ment under the dominion Of clamor.
Should they succeed, and should their
example be folio we'd by the advocates
of popular demand in contravention of
the Constitution, we would find that
the barriers erected by our system of
government have been broken down,
and that King Clamor would be the
ruler of America.
The New York Times, hitherto one
of the most thoughtful papers, now,
spurred on by the insolent bankers of
New York, speaks of the custom of free
debate in the Senate ''as a pompous
humbug," and of the public ear being
wearied while thirty OF forty Senators
express their worthless views" The
clamor of these papers is doing serious
injury in undermining the sanction Of
governmental enactments, and their
attacks are thus very reprehensibla.
The spirit that pervades them is the
same that animates the New York
bankers, whose sentiments they utter.
And this is the way the money bags
talk.

THE STATE IN

s. per arrangements made at the
last State meeting, Alliance speakers
have been engaged and the State di,
vided into districts so that each speaker
can be at the various county meetings.
You will notice that in some instances
two or more county meetings in the
same district will be held on the same
date. That is all right, as two or more
speakers may be In n district.
County meetings must be held at the
time and place indicated in each
county. This is the first effort along
this line, and there may be some con
fusion, but each county must hold the
meetings so as to get the benefit of the
speaker, and be sure to advertise the
matter thoroughly and get a big crowd
at each meeting. The speaking at each
place will be public. 1t must be under
stood that the county meetings pay
the expenses of the speakers at each
county meeting.

DIR. THOMPSON IN YADKIN.

BUCK SHoAL, n. @.
Mr.. FDIToR:-I write to say to State
Secretary Cyrus Thompson that his
trip through Yadkin was not in vain.
I had a short talk with the President
of the County Alliance last week. He
says the Order is building up fast in
this county. Zion Alliance re-organ-
lied with double the number it's char
ter members. 1 think ''old man Hard
Times" has done more than the doctor
to bring them to their senses. How
ever, all are rejoiced that he is re
elected, hoping to hear from him again.

homaS Dixon makes
and Tells a Story.
The discussion Of TIE Panic-Its
Causes and Cure was continued by
the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., in his
sermon in Association Hall yesterday
morning. The specific subject of the
discourse was The Cure Of Panics."
He denounced most vigorously the de-
monetization Of half the money Of the
| world and gave as remedies and cures
for financial panics the increase Of the
currency, the radical reform Of the
banking system, more Christianity
in business, less faith IN the great
capitalistic newspaper scares, the es-
Enlistment of postal savings banks
and the cessation Of special class legis-
lation.
1--WE have seen in our present,study
of the financial panic, " he said, that
the immediate cause was an insane
popular fear-in short, a stampede of
selfishness.
"When a few men practically possess
the whole Commonweal1h there ceases
to be a commonwealth" and society
is again simply divided into two classes
masters and slaves.
