Independent Watchman, No: No
man should be selec' cd as an All ancc-
divorce his party prejudice rom his Al
liancc teachings, no matter what the !,
party. Failing in this, hc should re-
sign. We do not believe in compromis-
ing with the devil. Tho Alliance must
be maintained non-partisan.
An Alliancemnn at Rocky Mt, N. G,
writes: The Alliance three miles south

dozen out OF seventeen charter members
aud fifty or more in all MS good 4 it and

some during tho campaign, but that Is
all past and We arc In harmony with all.
We trade through the Business Agency.
We like it better. We feel like we arc
trading with our own folks, besides wo
save several dollars to ourselves and cents
to outsiders. In two years wo have Or
dercd nearly hundred tons of guano,
saving three or four hundred dollars to
our members. We mover let politics get
into our Order to disrup. us, aud advise

member in the State will go te work and
add one more to tho Alliance at once.

How can you hope to convince your
brother in the Alliance, who differs with
you politically, unless you also are open
to conviction. You must both bc willing
to give up your prejudices for tho sake
Of right.
An exchange wisely remarks: It is

from Jay Gould's estate. Inasmdefl as
tho estate was chiefly acquired by trallick-
ing in tho public rights which should
never have been given over to private
ownership, this sum. liberal as it seems,
is but a partial restitution.
1t is conceded on all sides that a SEN
timent for an income tax is growing. A
bill to impose progressively increasing
tax on incomes above 100000 would be
passed by ali overwhelming majority . if
presented in this House. How much
revenue 1t would yield is problcmatica'.
That would depend somewhat upon tho
extent to which conscieuces have become
more alert since the war time income tax
was abolished. That sometimes produc-
ed revenue, and sometimes perjury. But
it was in time of general generalization.
Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. c., is
predictionist. It hits tender spot in
monopo!y's caTccss when 1t says
There will be some loud calamity
bowling done in New York and vicinity
one of these days. First, the coal mines
raised the price of coal. Next the rail
roads raised the freight. A few days
ago the retail coal dealers in New York
held meeting and raised the price rs
cents per ton. There is now nothing
left for the people but to stand and bc
robbed There is fair prospect of an
other rise all along the line. The South
has been the paradise for trusts long
time. Now that the Northeast is getting
pulled ut such q vigorous rate, tho
chances are that calamity lhowlers will
he heard from pretty soon.
