1t WAS inevitable that the sudden
fancy for the fashions of $50 should
produce reaction in the millinery
styles. and an attempt be made to
bring in bonnets of larger size,
more appropriate to the new toilets
than those already prepared for the
spring season. Whether those new
shapes are destined to become really
popular, however, is question which
the future must decide. \ few
weeks ago the introduction of bon
nets with ears and curtains seemed
merely a passing yagary of fashions
but the radical transformation
brought about in skirts keep them
some time IN vogue. So far, how
ever, the enlarged shapes are in
decided minority. One of them

DIR. THOMPSON AT wADESBORO.
Especial Correspondence.

lCP>SAs&A
We had only few days notice of
the appointment of our esteemed
Lecturer, DR.. Thompson. Did not
even get the appointment in time to
have it published in "Our Home"
but thanks to the proprietors of this
valuable little paper who sent out
posters all over the county of Arson
announcing the speaking. Nothing
like a full turnout of the ''true blue
Alliancemen Of the noble old county
of Arson, the home and birth place
of the brave hearted Polk, but a
very good crowd present under the
circumstances. We were not dis
appointed in the speaker, he dis
cussed very forcibly the crying ne
cessity of keeping the order in tact
as an organization. His arguments
were backed by the purest logic and
applied with apt illustrations. He
began by giving US encouraging
news from other portions of the State
assuring us that the Alliance is not
dead" as our enemies, the politician
claim. His sarcastic review of the
low action Of the Legislature in re-
gard to the Alliance charter was
humorous in the extreme. He struck
some heavy blows that made the fur
fly from those who have proven
traitors to the Order. He said they
reminded him of the old negro who
when he could not ride the mule at
tempted to kill it. He then got
down to business aud brought to
our minds the leading proposition 5
of the Alliance. He discussed the
widespread financial depression. its
causes and recIedy. He succeeded,
with aLy one who has thimble full
of brains, to fully demonstrate the
utterfa falicy of the arguments adduced
by the plutocrats and their pals.
When we speak of the leading
propositions of the Alliance we feel
satisfied We are understood by the
brethren. We mean of course the
great question of finance.
DIR. Thompson handled this ques-
tion In a most masterly way. We
will not attempt to quote him, but
will assure you Mr.. Ed. that Bro.
Thompson sowed good seed that will
spring up in due time and bear fru t
for the cause of reform. Come again

/ Secretary Carlisle, while in at

New York was visited by quite

conference, regarding the finaneia
situation, was held. As result
give herewith a clipping from th'
New York sun:
"President CIeyeIand's advisers hay,
told him that the only way to in.
duce the Western and Southwestern:
Senators and congressman to consent
to repeal of the Sherman law is tc
demonstrate TO their constituent.
that they are losing money every
day that this law is in operation.
The missionary work in that direc-
ton has been started by u number
Of the bankers in the solid commu-
mites of the East. They are daily
reff sing credit to the South, Sorth-
west and West, fearing the effects of
the Sherman law.
The Chicago bankers, it was said,
are carrying out the same line of
policy. Secretary Carlisle, in his
talk with the bank Presidents, made
his stand very clear. 1t is to be he
roic treatment all the way through
on the Sherman law, and possibly
by the next session of Congress the
silver mine owners and the adhcrents
of silver in the Senate and the House
will be ready to consent to repeal
of the law.
The bank Presidents, replying to
Secretary Carlisle, cordially inform
ed him that they would be ready at
all times to corporate with him in
the successful administration of the
financial policy of the Government"
The CAUCASIAN readers will OBJ
serve, from the above, that the
Southern and Western people who
hold to their free silver views are to
receive heroic treatment at the hands
of the Eastern plutocrats. Are the
people of these two sections so desti-
tute of manhood that they will bow
in humble submission to such
threat | am unwilling to believe
that they are.
The battle royal is YET to be
fought l do not mean with bullets
against this plutocratic element, be-
fore there will be any real prosperi-
ty i'll the South and Wes5.
There must be an union of forces
between these two sections, in order
to secure relief.
There is ha-mony in sentiment
existing, and there should be unity
of action.
The Eastern plutocrats have
thrown down the gauntlet and in
yited MS to battle. They should be
met and routed.
The South and West have the
strength in Congress if they will
only use it. Will our Representa-
tlves be men Of independence or
will they be slaves to the money
power? The battle for justice must
be begun in earnest. clay on your

is trimmed with wide satin ribbon,
shaded from crimson to moss-green,
draped about the crown and arranged
in bows front and back; on each side
of the front bow is placed stiff
bunch of variegated crocuses, tied UP
with a cluster of leaves IN the centre.
The principal decoration of the white

halves Of a white Brussels lace veil,
each fluted like an open fan and
forming spreading wings on each
side of the low crown. Very fine
wire is sown to the edge of the lace
to give it the required stiffness. A
small bow of lace, with a large
amethyst cabochon in the centre, is
placed in front of the crown, and at
the back a bow of pale peach bios

A GENTLEMAN OF ENGLISH TASTES.

A GENTLEMAN OF ENGLISH TASTES.
We clip the following from
Cleveland mugwump organ:
"Mr. Bavard, the new ambassador
of the United States to the court of
st. James will be very popular in
London. For many years he was
regarded as leader of the Democratic
party in the American Senate, and
for brief period was president of
that body. But he is rather of the
high and dry philosophical school in
politics and did not enthuse the free
and Independent electors of the
State. In 1884 he was put in run
ming for the Democratic nominee fer
the Presidency, but the choice fall
ing upon President Cleveland, he
accepted Office as Secretary of State
in the new Presidents Cabinet. Mr..
Bayard is well known in London,
and has hosts of friends here. He
is broad-minded enough to pay ac-
knowledgement even to his own
country-where such acts are un-
popular to the many good qualities
he finds in Englishmen, and con-
fesses partiality for English tastes.
Since Mr.. Bayard is so opposed to
free coinage of silver, We suppose he
has quite partiality for the Eng
lish gold standard idea of money. Yes
his appointment will be very accept
able to that class of Englishmen
who are prospering at the expense of
the Southern cotton planter. Eng
land wants gold standard, but she
has silver standard in India where
she raises products that compete
with and regulate the price of ours.
How much longer will the Ameri-
can farmer suffer such folly at his
expense?
