N. S. Frost left Tuesday to make his
future home in Kansas city, Mo. To
him the day was quite sad one.
Born in this town SO years ago, he
never lived elsewhere. The step now
taken is one so new to him that he is
naturally solicitous as to the outcome
of "beginning life again" among
strangers. He mas however, two
splendid boys in Kansas city, whose
praiseworthy object is to make life
henceforth easy to their parents. Mr..
Frost is at Huntington, West Va,
visiting his son, Meshack, Mrs. Frost
and Miss Haidee having preceded him
there last week. In few days all will
go to Kansas city, Ella the Worlds
Fair.

The following description of a ride
on the famous Ferris wheel is given
by young woman of Sedalia, Mo.
She says:
The wind rushing through the IRON meshes
converts the massive structure into an nolian
harp. If we knew not from whence the low,
soft rhythm proceeded we should judge it to
be the music of the spheres as they moved on
their way overhead.
That disaerees with Rob. Annan's

When fellow is locked up in the suspend

the drawing by John E. Price of a
banner offered by Knights of Pythias
lodge in eastern Maryland, and that
Mr.. Price had informed the home
lodge-Frostburg City, No. SS-that
he would turn it over to that body.
The banner arrived during the early
part of the month, and at the regular
meeting on the Goth inst it was pre-
scented in neat address by John B.
Reese. 1t excels in proportions and
beauty the banner purchased by the
Lodge some time ago. 1t is made of
fine silk and elegantly trimmed. The
Lodge accepted it in standing vote
of thanks and Instructed the Master-at-
Arms to have the inscription amended
so as to read:

THE HEIGHT OF FOLLY.

Recently Mrs. Eugene Clark, Of New
York, created a sensation by holding a
birthday reception for her dog, a fine
japanese spaniel. The dog was five
years old. Fine invitation cards we're
sent out and eighteen other ladies came
in carriages, bringing that number of
pet dogs to the reception. A banquet
was spread on tables nine inches high
and the finest edibles were devoured by
the petted dogs.
This was all very silly, but could be
excused if it were not for the fact that
50 1000 people are on the verge of star
walton in that city. Many are freezing
and have no money to buy coal. Last
year 5000 families were turned out of
doors and their household goods
thrown after them because they could
not pay their rent. The greediness and
foolish whims of the rich are the cause
Of all that poverty.

1T is DREADFUL.

Some of the smart Alexis who edit
newspapers in this State continue to
declare that 1.-The Alliance is being led
by partisans :" that cit is in the hands
of politicians" etc.
Well, let's see about that The first
President of the State Alliance was
Capt. S. B. Alexander. He was and is
a "partisan;" is now in Congress. Col.
L. L. Polk was the first State Secre-
tary. He vas a partisan" The
second President was Elias Carr. He
was a partisan )" is now Governor of
North Carolina. The second State
Secretary was E. @. Beddingield. He
was a partisan" is now a Railroad
Commissioner. The third President
was Marion Butler. He is a partisan"
The third State Secretary is ". S,
Barnes. He is a partisan" so it seems
that those dreadful "partisans" have
been in the saddle all the time. 1t is
also true that al the other State officers
and members of committees have been
"partisans." 1t is he~artrending, but
can't be helped, and we fear that par
tisans' will be elected in the future, for
it is mighty hard to find men who do
not lean toward some party in this
State.
1t doesn't matter what party these
officers belong to so they are honest,
capable men, and perform their duties
properly. Now, you smart Alexis, go
and soak YOUR heads.

Sherman law, he said: both politi
Cal parties Democratic and Republi-
CAM by their authorized delegates in
the same words demand the use of
both gold and silver as standard
money In Identical language both
political parties demand the main
tenance of the parity of the two
metals and that, too. by 'legisla
ton" He also quotes from the New
York State platform to show that it is in
harmony with both National platforms.
This confirms the belief we have enter
tanned all along-that both parties are
the same on financial matters and that
Mem York dictated both platforms.

LESSON NUMBER FOUR.

Under Tariff Schedule B. we find
earths, earthenware and glassware,
fire brick, not glazed, were raised from
20 per cent to $l25 per ton; glazed
from 20 to As per cent. Not much re
ductiOn in that. On tiles from 20 to 25
per cent. On lime, cement and plaster
but little reduction was made in some
instances the rates were made higher.
The rates on common brown earthen-
ware and stoneware (much used) were
not lowered. The tariff on glassware,
except on bottles holding less than one
pint, was made higher, especially col
ored glass goods. On window glass
no change was made, except on glass
above "a by SO inches, which was
raised from q to 81 per pound. On
plate glass, large sizes for doors, etc.,
no reduction was made. Marble and
stone goods not changed, except
undressed marble, which was increased
from 81 per ton to IL cents per cubic
foot. On all slate goods and for root
ing purposes no change was made.

BE CHARITABLE.

It is human nature to overlook our
faults and magnify the faults or mis-
takes of others. We all do it. No
man is too good to be guilty of this.
When we see Alliance papers critlciz-
ing each other, sometimes harshly, we
see the need Of more charity, When
we see private members of the Order
impugning the motives of their fellow
members we want to ask for more
chaity. We all make mistakes, we all
want to be pardoned. Constant and
premeditated ~rascality cannot be con
doned so easily, but the ordinary mis-
takes of life should not be treated so

WHERE, OH WHERE7

! Last Tuesday night the Senate held a
special session to dispose of the con
tested election case of Newsome vs.
Stack from the 28th Senatorial district.
Mr.. Stack, Democrat, has held his seat
all the time. Mr.. Newsome, Republican,
claimed that he received 80 more votes
than Stack. The committee on cleo
tions had heard the evidence. Eight
signed a minority report in favor of
Stack. Three, two Democrats and one
Peoples party member Of the commit
tee, signed a majority report.
This case was made a special order
and a night session held. The Senator
from Cherokee and the Senator from
Halifax spoke in favor of Stack retain
ing his seat. Senator Jones, of Forsyth,
and Cranor, of Wilkes Democrats
who signed the minority report,
spoke in favor Of Newsome, In reply
ing to Senator Day. Senator Jones,
speaking of the alleged illegal registra,
ton, said: IF all the votes put in
for members of this Senate were
thrown out that were voted, only the
initials Of the voters appearing on the
registration books, there probably
would not be n of us here to night,
the floor would be swept clean"
1t will be remembered that Newsome
claimed 80 more votes than Stack re,
ceived. Stack claimed that he had a
majority, as at least 60 persons voting
for Newsome were not legally regis
tered, only their initials being on the
registration books. On these grounds
Stack holds his seat, when if the same
rule was applied to other members of
the Senate, they would all be at home,
as Senator Jones Said. All this shows
what a farce justice in elections is in
this State. What applies to one man
ought to apply to all.

| that. while we make mistakes and
make them often, we have always car
ried the banner of reform high and
dry, and neither the protests of friends,
nor the inceSsant assaults of enemies
have induced us to deviate from the
line of what we conceived to be our
duty. Our first duty is to the Alliance,
next the welfare of our patrons and
the country generally. The PROGRESS
sIvE FARMER cannot and will not be
come a party paper. It has always
taught the doctrine that farmers, and
everybody else, for that matter, should
vote with the party that will best pro-
tect their interests. We have practiced
what we preached and shall continue
to do so, and those who think that is
not legitimate work for a paper like
this should first pull the mote out of
their own eyes,
We are fully satisfied that the causes
which brought about the Alliance are
real. Every day makes this fact more
| clear to our minds. The present con-
dition of affairs must be changed, and
the sooner the better. The Alliance is
agreat reform school. It's educational,
social and business features are good
enough to p%erpetuate the organization
for all time to come.
We again assure u readers that
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER will continue
to be in the thickest Of the fight. 1t
will be bold but conservative, ever
ready to applaud the right and con-
denim the wrong. We want more read
ers, Let every subscriber consider
himself a committee of to get sub
scribers. In this way we can, by a
united effort, run the list up to 80, 600
or more.

I. S. BELL C~ATECHISED.

Last week we received a communica-
ton from J. S. Bell, with request to
publish it. We complied with his re-
quest. We find he sent the same to
the State Chronicle. That paper being
the organ, Of mon partisan Alliance
men" of the Bell stripe, he favored
it at the same time with another
lengthy document, written in the ap-
proved regulation style, which ap-
peared under the following heading:
"Some Views in, Regard to the Interest
of the ADMINISTRATION as
to How to Protect Alliancemen
and Defend Democracy"
We reproduce that article in another
column that we may not be accused of
unfairness to an AlIianceman(0 The
Chronicle notices these wonderful pro-
auctions in the following editorial:
"Mr. j. s. Bell has two Letters in the
Chronicle To day. Read Them"
So say we. Read them, and after do
ing doing go read what Bro. w. A.
Graham says, then read the address Of
the President and Executive Commit
tee, and keep your eyes open watching
for Mr.. Bells answers to the following
questions. Now, Jimmie, stand up
like a nice little man and answer
Did you contribute anything to the
State Alliance Business Agency Fund.-
If SO, how much? Can you produce a
a certificate in proof9 Did you ever
trade any with the State Agent9 When?
Did you pay for what you purchased
at the time, or did you get indulgence
because of the position you occupied
io the Alliance7 How many statements
Of the account have been sent you since
December. 1891? How many drafts
have been made on you for the account
and allowed to return unhonored?
Since you are so s~olicitous for the
good of the Order, and so anxious that
it should be "strictly non partisan, ="
Did you not canvass a greater part
of the State during the last cam
paign2 and didn't the posters advertis-
ing your appointments state that YOU
were "State Alliance Lecturer9' Did
you hold that Office at the time2 Didn't
you canvass the State for a political
party and use all the influence you had
as an Allianceman for that party9
Let US hear from you soon; we would
like to have these questions settled n
| off our mind. So would all the brethren.
