Jurisprudence and law reform, Judi

assimilation so far as possible of the
divorce laws of the several states-such
are the principal subjects to be dis
cussed at the sixteenth annual session Of
the American Bar association, which is
to be held at Milwaukee beginning Aug.

A Street Costume In Boston.

A procession Of girls in fetching gowns
topped off with big white hats were te
be seen on fremont street directly after
the recital given by the pupils of Miss
Gertrude Franklin Thursday afternoon.
One OF the most striking was worn by a
blond young lady, who succeeded in at
tracing much attention, which, if not
sought, must have been dreadfully en-
barrassing. She was gowned in white
serge made with very full skirt, an
Elton jacket with enormous sleeves and
wide revers worn over pink and white
striped shirt waist, wide brimmed
white sailor trimmed with plain band
of ribbon and white gloves with black
stitching on the back. Her gait was
more striking than her toilet. You
couldn't help looking at her feet, which
were dressed in white suede.-Boston

THE JANUARY MEETINGS.

The various County Alliances Of the
stare and country will meet during
this month, most of them on the second
Thursday and Friday. It is important
that these meetings be largely attended
and made as interesting and profitable
as possible. The Sub-AIliance meetings
held prior to these county meetings
should have a full attendance.
We hope every true member will
bestir himself in the interest of the
organization that is the hope of the
country. The cold weather ought to
cool off all the hot heads in the various
parties so they can come together with
out referring to politics. The eyes of
the world are watching us as they
never did before. Many are hoping
that a breach has beenmade that never
can be healed. But we believe they
will be disappointed. Let every true
member see that they are.

CONGRESSIONAL WHITE WASH
ING.

The public are not always warned
or Informed when rascality is going on
or when discovered. For instance,
very little was said about the findings
Of the investigating committee of the
485h Congress. This committee found
that "detaulters, " thieves, " drunk
ards" blackmailers," "liars," lex
convicts," "fugitives from justice, "
g assaseins," gamblers" "embezzl
ers of public funds" "bribe takers, -"
"extor5ionists," horse thieves" and
"forgers" had been appointed to vari
GUS responsible positions in Washing
ton. But the most skillful whitewash-
ing was done and the whole matter
hushed up. The rascals appointed be-
longed to one party and the congress
sional whitewashers to another.

THEN AND NOW.

When THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
talked so plain about the course of the
members of the last session of Congress,
it was harshly criticized. 1t was right
then or else the Wilmington Messenger
is wrong now, and the Messenger is "a
leading" Democratic newspaper. Here
is what it says now that the campaign
| feeling has worn off:
1.-The present Congress is a very
dead failure in doing good, but it is a
prodigious success in increasing tax
burdens. In it's first session it voted
away the peoples money with a rash,
most extravagant hand. It seemed to
emulate and threatened to surpass the
Republican Tom Reed Billion Dollar
Congress in unwise and wasteful and
burdensome expenditures. It brought
reprOach upon the name Of reform and
an honest Democracy.
We were sorry that it was to have
another whack at the peoples purse
and would have been glad if the pres
ent session could have been skipped or
omitted altogether from the pro
grammo.
It has been true to its record. This
week the House showed that it had
learned nothing since it adjourned. 1t
deliberately gave a vote increasing the
present pension burden and thus be-
trayed the Democracy and bI oke party
pledges of retrenchment and reform"
If the political papers had expressed
their real sentiments during the cam
paign The PROGRESSIVE FARMER would
not have been alone in exposing the
huge fraud.
But there is another important thing
to think about now. The next Con
gress, from which the people, some of
them, at least, are expecting much,
will be composed of the same men, ex-
cepting q dozen or mor new ones.
Now how can we hope for much from
the same old crowd9 They were in
session several months last winter.
They did nothing good and much that
was bad. On the first of December
they assembled again and the Same
game has been played. They will as
semble again this year. Now, gentle
men, has notTHE PROGRESSIVE FAREEP

quently that the Alliance was @ greater
educational organization than any
movement ever started. It is creating
more healthy sentiment, and creating
it faster than any order in existence.
Locally, its influence is powerful
nationally it irresistible. 1t has done
more to increase our educational insti-
buttons in North Carolina than every
thing else combined. Observing e
pie will not deny this. It tends to make
corporations treat the people right and
pay tax. Its business and socialfeatures
are worth ten times the cost.
Nationally it has caused the people
to open their eyes and begin q warfare
against unjust taxation and extrava-
CANT pensions. It has created senti.
ment that will some time cause these
things to be brought within proper
bounds. 1t will get an anti option bill
through i'll the next few years. The

Alliance press and speakers is becom.
ing more popular every day. 1t will
be a source for raising revenue in a
few years. Political parties are shap-
ing their policy so as to be in harmony
with most or all of our demands, MANY
farmers have never lent their aid and
influence to the movement; others
have Joined in and then allowed their
worst enemies to poison their minds
against the vital issues. But the faith
full will sti * and there will be addi-
tions to the number of faithful ones
from time to time. CrOakers may
croak, men may pull back like balky
horses, but the greatest reform move
ment the world ever saw will go on to
success.
1t is said that the Alliance is disor-
ganized in North Carolina. That is
rue 50 far as some sections are con,
cerned, but it is like the sleeping giant,
it will awake and be more powerful
than ever. 1t will yet be the great
guiding influence in material matters
on the American continent.

NOT VERY

The organization known as Ku-Klux
was started in the office of the Citizen,
a weekly paper published at Pulaski,
Tenn. The editor of the paper at the
time was one of the chief promoters.
1t is not strange that it should be a
place where affidavits can be gotten
about almost anything. The reading
public were treated to some rare curl
osities in the way of affidavits from
that place last fall. Some of the "kur-
nels" who signed them were low-down

RATES TO CHICAGO.

Form and Home is emphatic in it's
demands for a low passenger rate to
the Worlds Fair. 1t says:
1.-The popular demand for govern
ment control if not ownership of rail-
roads will become irresistible if our
great transportation lines refuse reason
able rates to the Worlds Fair. The
railroad kings present idea is to make
no reduction of rates on express trains,
and to permit q reduction of only one
third on slow trains. Such a course
would be fatal to the financial success
of the fair. It would be an insult to
and q robbery of the people. It would
deprive stockholders n railroad prop
critics of the handsome net earnings
their properties would make under a
low passenger rate. It would provoke
asentiment against railroad mOnopolies
that would be almost sure to watt into
power in 1896 the Peoples party with
it's socialistic doctrine of the federal
control of transportation the same as
the government now operates the post
Office. This question vitality interests
the farmers and other people of New
England and New York who wish to
attend the Worlds Fair by hundreds
of thousands, but who won't be able to
do so unless granted a low excursion
rate to Chicago and back"

SENATOR VANCE ON SILVER.

In the U. S. Senate on the 18th of
June, 1890, Senator Vance made a
speech in favor of free coinage. We
suppose he is still favorable to the law.
Now what are the papers that are
fighting the measure going to do? Can
they oppose "our Zeb?'
Here is what the Senator said:
I'm order that there may be no mis-
understanding about the purport of my
remarks, that it may not be inquired
as I go on which side l am upon, sim.

BAYARD ON FREE COINAGE.

Elk Senator Bayard, of Maryland, re-
Gently wrote a long letter against free
coinage of silver. In order that our
readers may see what pc werfulO argu-
ments(O some of our statesmen make
when doing the bidding of %plutocrats,
we publish the following extract from
his little essay and call on the school
boys of the State to answer his argu-
ments:
"Have not our coinage laws-our
laws of legal tender-Our whole system
Of finance, been surrendered in the ext
gencies Of parties to the control of a
class Of u cOuntrymen whose bust
ness was the excavation Of one Of the
earth'5 metals for their private emolu-
ment; and have not the public powers
Of this government been lent to bolster
up the price of silver bullion, Just as
the French legislature attempted to
prevent the collapse Ofan impracticable
feat Of engineering?
THE danger to the people Of the
United States is more deadly than the
mere loss Of a sum Of money, however
great, for a departure from a stable

a variable and fuctuating medium of
contract and exchange is filed with
disasters which cannot be measured
either in their extent or the period Of
suffering they would entail.
The proposed free coinage of silver
is nothing but a proposition to use pub
lie laws to further private profits. This
has gradually, but all too frequently,
been allowed under the forms of our
taxing power; but never before has it
been accompanied so closely by results
SO dangerous to the best interests of all
classes of society.
BETTER for the people to buy the
mines and pay more than their value
to the private owners than to permit
the ~disLocation of the standard and
measure of every contract, from the
daily wage of the labOrer to the great
est corporate or State loan.
Therefore, if [ understand the great
principle upon which our fathers placed
their hope to establish justice and
secure the blessings of liberty for them
selves and their p~os5-rity, it was by
placing the great and essential powers
of government over men high out of
the reach and beyond the control of
private greed.
"And this principle is fatally in
voked by such a claim as is now set up
oy those interested in the mining and
production Of silver bullion"

FINANCIAL PANICS.

Since 1910 there has been three great
and disastrous money panics in the
United States. Each one was caused
by contraction of the currency. Each
period of restored prosperity came
through a very large increase in the
money supply.
Our country has again entered upon
another era of disaster from the same
cause. You a see it in the faces of
the people. Everybody feels that there
is trouble ahead; that it is already
here. Only the indomitable will of
our people has has held the fabric to-
getEer this long, In the past twenty
years this financial system has caused
IS out Of every 100 that go into business
to fail, while the ether five get i'm
mensely wealthy. During the first
part of the present crisis-1876 ~ and
rs. there were %, 442 failures in the
United States. But pluck sustained
our people, and they continue in about
the same ratio. During the years
1989-9O and 81 there were 81, O62 bust
! ness failures. In the past year the
number will reach probably IA, 600.
This only includes commercial failures.
No account is kept of the many thou
| sands of farmers who fail to make both
ends meet, nor the millions of all classes
who only manage to pull through"

cumstances or being able to lay up

THERE ARE OTHER REASONS.
Form and Home, Chicago, says:

Form and Home, Chicago, says:
LET farmers organize more com
pactly than ever to get two things: 1,
what their present crops are worth; 3,
equal protection with manufacturers
in any revision Of the tariff later on.
The national grange has just spoken in
clarion tones on this point, ~righteously
demanding that the tariff on manufac-
lures be reduced to the farmers level
before a line of the agricultural SEIZED
ule of the tariff is touched. After such
equality has been gained, then if neces-
sary let the further reduction in duties
be applied equally"
We agree with our contemporary as
far as it goes. There are many other
reasons Why they should organize more
compactly, however. One reason is
that no political party will do any thing
for them unless they are organized,
and unless they mean business. You
NAV chant the praises of the Demo
cratic and Peoples party all your life,
but neither of them will do their duty
nv the farmers unless the farmers
present a solid front The other classes,
which are organized, will step in every
time and carry off the plum,
