NASH COUNTY RESOLUTIONS.

We your committee appointed by
the Nash County Alliance to draft reso-
lutions denouncing and condemning
the action of the last legislature, reIa,
tive to the Alliance charter, submit the
following:
RESOLVED, That we consider the OBJ.
Ject and aim of said action undemo,
cratic and against the wishes of the
agricultural populace Of North Caro-.
lima.
2. That we deem the origin and in.
cipiency of said bill to be wholly gpecu-
lative, selfish, and a scheme to disrupt
the Business Agency.
3. That those who voted for said bill
nave proven themselves unworthy Of
the confidence and support of the agri-
cultural classes.
4. That selfish motives actuated said
members to smite the hands that feed
and clothe the world.
D. That their desire was to annuI and
destroy the grandest labor organization
on earth which was born of necessity
for the protection of farmers and
l~aOOrers; an institution whose grand
motto is truth, equal rights to ali and
special privileges to none.
6: That we look upon the action Of
said members as a gross injustice and
insult to the entire brotherhood Of
the Farmers Alliance of North Caro-.
lima.
Z. That it is a stigma upon the intel
ligence and education of the a~gricuItu-
turaI classes. That 1T is a rebuke to the
wellbelng OF society and an act closely
akin to ~plutocracy.

National Economist,
Feb. 18th: The eXrcu-

Washington d. c., in
January last, and they
extended the courtesy
of an invitation TO c.
w. Macune, as editor
of the National official
rga to visit their
meeting and he accept
ed the invitation. He
was received il a fra
ternal spirit, and a full
and friendly confer
enCe was had as to the
relations and duties Of
the National EcOno-
mist toward The order.
He was in Ormed that
in pursuance of the
resolution introduced
by Brother Suffer, at
Memphis, the commit
tee was considering q
resolution to disCOn-
tinUe the Economist as
their official organ, and
he was asked if he had
anything to say upon
this subjlct. He spoke
at some length in Il
friendly and fraternal
spirit and showed them
that the owners of the
paper would sustain
great loss, and that in
his opinion it would be
a plOr return for the
great work done by
the Economist and a
great injustice.

WASHINGTON y q Fab O 700

Q. ". Macune, Esq Wash5n0tOn:
Dear SIT:-Our executive committee
nave instructed me to request of uOu
as eC chairman of the erecutGUe com.
m1ttee Of the National Farmers All
Gnce n Industrial Union, to furnish
me with the bond said to have been
given the President of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union
by the National Economist publishing
company.
L asked him as ex chairman of the
executive committee. But il that, as
in everything else, we found the gross,
est imaginable carelessness. One other
instance will suffice. After waiting al.
most three months and after several
demands for the records of the execu-
tive committee we were handed the
record or minute book wiitbOut o. sjnole
entry since June, 1890.
NO BOND. NO CONTRACT, NO COR
NO MINUTES.
With such a record it is little wonder
that he wishes to throw the RESPONSE,
blllty on his successors. However
short the doctor may be on fidelity he
is certainly long on assurance.
We shall now proceed to draw a
DEADLY PARALLEL on the doctor. He
complains that the Economist was de-
MED a hearing, condemned without be-
ing heard, etc. The executive commit
tee met Jan. 9th. About a week later
when the Economist matter was taken
up, he and Bro. Terrell were invited to
meet with us. We quote:

ANOTHER DEADLY PARALLEL.

March 18th, the Econ
Omist, for the sake of
peace and harmon in
the order, after the
Memphis meeting drew
the mantle of charity
over President LOucks'
annual address in
which he breathed sec
tiOnRl venom and con-
tempt for the effort
made in the South, and
showed plainly, in spite
of his protest to the
contrary, that his OlIy
conception of the ALI
anCe was as an adjunct
the Peoples party.

February 18th, With
TINS object in CieW the
following official cor
r~espOndence is given in
full in the hope that
with all these facts
known, every member
of the order will at
once see that it is his
duty to, if possible, de
tend and sustain the
Preside Mt in his impOr-
tant position, and the
executive committee in
their responsible work,
as Wei as the national
organ in the battle for
right and principle
Enough has now been
written to show that
the Economist sustains
and indOrseS the non
partisan and the pro-
political stand of the
officers of the order
and that the same is in
exact harmony with
what the Economist
has always taught, and
there is perfect har-
mOuy between the
Economist and the
committee.

WHO LOST THE BOND?

In reference further to the letter of
the committee it is respectfully sub

as" the Economist is not the custodian
Of a bond it gave in favor of the Ma
tional Alliance and cannot be held re
sponsible for any fault of the commit
tee for having lost it.-EcOnOmist,
March 18th.
1t was not supposed by us that the
executive committee would be so care
less as to leave a $50, 900 bond with the
party giving it, but we had a right to
expect that the chairman of the execu
tive committee would have done his
duty by the order that had so long hon

was such a bond. My letter was as

JACOB RINGLE & SON,
An Excellent Display of Goods fol
the HOLIDAYS.

Thousands of people in Jersey City possess
the singular idea that when Christmas gifts
are to be purchased trip to New York is an
Indispensable condition, just as if there are
no storekeepers in this city who appreciate
the fact that a Christmas display of goods is
the thing of the year. These good people
often say that you can't buy things in Jer-
sey City as cheap as in New York This
fallacy is SO often uttered that it is taken as
truism But as a matter of fact in our
stores here there is, proportionately, as
much variety of articles sold at as cheap a
rate, and in numberless instances cheaper. as
those in New York. Rents are high Wonder
and some one one has to pay for the extra
expense. #l7
Take Jacob Ringle g. Sons store as good
example of place where an infinitude of
toys and holiday goods are displayed at
prices lower than any house in New York
can afford to sell at. In china crockery and
glassware it is impossible to show a more
perfect collection Messrs. Ringle deal from
the potteries direct and select their own
goods. A wonderful display in Messrs.
Ringle's emporium is seen of decorated
china cups, saucers and drinking glasses. On
all floors of the big building at No. 50 and
No s. Newark avenue there are novelties in
housekeeping goods at extremely low prices
A grea IDEAL of care has been bestowed on
their selection and the firm justly prides
itself upon Christmas display not surpassed

HAMBRoUGHs FATHER TEsT1FIBs.
He Shows Some Queer Financial
Transactions by Monson.

By Gable to the United Press.
EDINBURGH, Dec. 16, 1S93,-The trial Of
Alfred John Monson for the killing of
Lieutenant Hambrough in August last was
continued in the High Court of Justiciary
today, this being the fourth day of the trial.
As an illustration of the interest
everywhere manifested IN the case it NAV
be cited that forty seats in the court room
are set aside for press reporters, and
all are occupied. The Inner House of the
Court OF Session, where the trial is taking
place, IS OF small dimensions and daily it is
crowded to its utmost capacity
MAJOR Hambrough, father of Lieutenant
Hambrough, was the first wit
ssitoday for the prosecution. He testified
that Mr.. Tottenham, the financial agent
VINO gave his evidence yesterday, intro
duced him to Monson in 1890, when
the witness agreed that Monson should edu-
cate his son, for which he would re-
celye E30O yearly. He drew a check
for ESQ, out of which Monson was to take
the yearly stipend. Instead of returning
ESQ to the witness, Monson returned
only a sovereign OF two. The witness and
his son signed bill for $4,000, on which
Monson thought he could raise e3,000 Out
OF mortgage of go, 600 witness received
tSOO. Major Hambrough repudiated an
alleged signature of his to bill shown to the
amount of e5000
Major Hambrough further said that he dis
tinctly understood from Monson that Lieut..
Hambrough was the only person in the party
who carried gun on the morning Of the
shooting On the following day Monson
showed the witness and his wife the spot
where the sons body had been found. Wit
ness saw no blood in the ditch
He remarked to his wife that he could not
see the spot where the body had laid, as the
grass was not disturbed. Witness
wanted to see Scott, but Monson told him
he had gone to Glasgow. Witness inquired
Tor, but could not find Scott in
glasgow: Monson had persuaded witnesses
son to join the Yorkshire regiment instead of
the Hants Regiment. This was against the
wish of the witness

CLEVER CAPTURE OF THIEVES,
Sergeant Krueser Followed Them to
HObOken From Union Hill,

Sergeant Krueger Followed Them to
HobOken From Union Hill.
Sergeant Kruger of the Union Hill police
department made a clever capture last even
ing in securing two thieves who plundered
Foxs jewelry store, on Bergenline avenue
and Bluhm street, Union Hill The men
were Frank Miller, twenty-four years
OF age, OF No. 20S Pine street,
Philadelphia and William Engel of No 145
South Caroline street, Baltimore The men,
last night about eleven O'Clock, smashed the
plate glass window in the store, unobserved,
and lifted a number of gold watches and
other valuables from the window A third
man was with them. As they were taking
nasty departure young man, who had
heard the crash, saw them, and suspecting
they had robbed the store, gave the alarm at
the police station. Sergeant Kruger tele-
phoned to Police Headquarters in Hoboken
to guard the ferries and watch for three
men. He had no description of the thieves
save that one was a well built fellow. The
sergeant, in citizens dress started to Hoboken
He jumped on an electric car, in which sat
three nervous and hard looking men. He
rode to the ferry with them, and all the time
was revolving in his mind and wondering if
the men were the ones he wanted When
the car reached the Fourteenth street
ferry the sergeant alighted, and accosting
Omcer kennedy instructed him to station
himself at the ticket window and grab the
first man of the three who went through. The
men filed through Sergeant Krueger and
Officer Kenny waited for them. Muller en-
tered first and Kenny stepped in front
of him. The man jumped back,
and tried to make bolt, but Kenny stood in
his way. The second man ran through, see
ing Miller's predicament. Engel started to
run from the ferry and Miller turned after
him AT that mOmant Oficor H,obos
came up and jumped in the way.
Kruger nabbed Miller and Kenny
attempted to hold Engel The latter ran
through and jumped on the boat The boat
was held and the man was arrested The
third man escaped. The two captives were
taken to Hoboken Police Headquarters and
later to Union Hill

RAID ON NIHILIsTs.
BIZ Gable to the EEllited Press.

LONDON, Dec. 16, 1898 "A dispatch from
st. Petersburg to news agency here states
that force of Moscow police, assisted by a
detachment of Cossacks, surprised large
number of Nihilists who were holding a
meeting in an isolated house outside of Mos
COW. The Nihilists made a vigorous resist
ance, and in the fighting that occurred
fifteen policemen were wounded Many of
the Nihilists were armed with revolvers,
and, when they saw that their capture was
inevitable, five of them turned their weapons
against themselves and blew out their brains.
Twenty-Five of the men managed to escape
from the building, but fifty others were cap
tured.
