MED OF A STATE REFoRMA.
TORY.

Recently one of our evening contem-
poraries stated that a ten year-old boy
had just been brought TO the Peniten
tiary, from a neighboring county, to
serve out a four years sentence, for
larcer y. 1t matters not who the boy
is. He may have descended from
rogueish parents; he may be as black
as the ace of spades. Perhaps the
Judge who pronounced the sentence
did his duty. But it is plain to all that
bows should not be placed in the Peni
Tertiary. Far better give them a good
whipping and turn themloose, especial
Iy if the chastisement can be inflicted
by parents.
The law makes no distinctions. A
boy may develop a ,mania for stealing
things and become a notorious sneak,
thief at a tender age, or he may yield
to temptation and commit one theft
and be caught. In the former case the
courts will show but little mercy in
the latter the punishment may be light.
But in either case, if the boy goes to
the Penitentiary, he will come in con
tact with old and hardened criminals.
His sentence may be one, two or sew.
eral years. His pride, if he had any,
is completely crushed, He is punished,
but not reformed. His surroundings
are such that prison 5unday-schools
and religious lectures r generally in.
effective.
To remedy this we need a State re
formatory-or reform SCHOOLGIRL it
anything you please A number of
other States have already taken this
step. We believe it a wise one, and
hope that the next Legislature will not
adjourn without having done some
thing to begin the work. We hope
every minister, teacher and philan-
thropiat in the State will come to our
aid promptly. Our columns are open
for any suggestions. Our idea of such
an institution is that the boys have
thorough religious and moral training
and useful occupation, such as the me-
chanic arts and farm work. In this
way the institution can be made almost
self sustaining when once established.
In the meantime give them at least a
common school education. Let this
matter be fairly discussed during the
next few weeks.

with declarations upon the tariff ques
tion, while the money question was ig-
nored as if it we're of no consequence
whatever. While the South is groan-
ing under the loss of 800, 900. 600 on her
cotton and the North is suffering cor
respondingly because of the wicked
assault of Congress upon u circulat-
ing medium, the bank ridden, capital
enslaved, stupid or ''ornery" politician
is mounting over the tariff. When the
Congress of the United States shall give
decent and honest recognition of silver
as money, the farmer will get some
thing for his products, and when he can
get money he will impart vigor. to III
sleeping commerce; and while
the world lasts will prosperity come to
the masses, to the degree to which they
r entitled, as long as we suffer the
goldbugs of the nation and of Europe
to force down our threats their thievish
monetary policy.

MILLIONS LOST.

The South is a sufferer to the tune of
millions from the low price of cotton.
The cotton grower is in the same fix
that the Northern farmer is in. Prices
are ruinously low for the products of
the soil, and this ruin has been caused
by unwise, not to say positively "
famous, legislation, says the Farmers
Voice
The attempt by the last Congress to
increase the value of the dollar, by linn
iting the circulating medium, has had
the natural effect of paralyzing our in
dustries and striking a fatal blow at
production. No other result than dis
aster to the farm and plantation can be
expected while our financial legislation
is in favor of the banker and the cred
itor and against the people and the
debtor. That fact is as plain as the u
at MONDAY, and yet a political cam
paign has just closed in which the plat
form and partisan press were abIaze

AN IMPORTANT CONSTITUTION.
AL AMENDMENT.

We have a law in this State forbid
ding the use of railroad passes by State
officials, including, of course, members
of the Legislature. The reform Legis-
lature of 1891 passed the law. 1t may
be necessary to follow the example of
New York in this matter and make it
a part of the Constitution. This pre-
caution would not be necessary but for
the danger that all future Legislatures
may not be composed of reformers and
they might repeal the law.
Arecent amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the State of New York is official
and reads as follows:
ARTICLE Is. SECTION 5. No public
officer, or person elected or appointed
to-a public Office, under the laws of
this State, shall directly or Indirectly
ask, demand accept, receive or consent
to receive for his own use or benefit, or
for the Use or benefit of another, any
free pass, free transportation, franking
privilege or discrimination in passen-
ger, telegraph or telephone rates, from
any person or corporation, or make use
of the same himself or in conjunction
with another. A person who violates
any provision-o this section, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall forfeit his office at the suit of the
Attorney General. Any corporation,
or officer or agent thereof, who shall
offer or promise to a public officer, or
person elected or appointed to a public
office, any such free pass, free trans
portation, franking privilege or dis
elimination, shall also be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanOr and liable to punish
ment except as herein provided. No
person, or officer oragent of a corpora
tian giving any such free pass, free
transportation, franking privilege or
discrimination hereby prohibited, shall
be privileged from testifying in rela-
ton thereto, and he shall not be liable
to civil or criminal prosecution there
for if he shall testify to the giving of
the same.

THE COOPERATIVE MAJORITY

The State Board of Canvassers, COM
posed of the Governor, Attorney Gen
eral, Senator Cook, of Warren, and
Senator Adams, of Moore, met in Rep
resentative Hall on last Thursday. AS
it was the day set apart for Thanks
giving the Board Immediately ad-
journed. On Saturday much of the
day was consumed in hearing the con
tested case from Nash county, in which
Solicitor Bernard and Mr.. Woodland
are concerned. The Board of Canvass
ers, however, only have ministerial
powers, and the contest must be settled
in the courts.
The work of the Board will not be
complete for sometime yet. However,
we are able to give the vote of for
Chief Justice and three Congressional
districts. Chief Justice w. T. Fair
cloth received 148, 434 votes; Shepherd
1877, 593, making the Co operative ma
jority on the State Judicial ticket

Three Congressional districts are
complete. In the 1st Skinner got

ninth, Pearson Is, 869, Crawford, 49,

SPECIAL D

It is a good plan for farmers clubs,
Alliances and other similar organiza
tions to take up the study of some
special subject and discuss it for a part
of the time at each meeting. By so do
ing a large amount of information will
be acquired in a short time, and the
discussions fastens it in the memory so
firm that it stays there. We know of
one club that took up agricultural
chemistry last winter, and, although
chemistry is thought to be a very dry
study, there was such an interest
aroused that most of the time at sew
eral meetings was devoted to this sub
iect, and in the end the mem
bers knew more about how crops grow
and the value of fertilizers than they
ever thought possible with the small
effort that was made. Most of the
members of that club have no difficulty
in determining the value of a fertilizer
upon being given its analysis, and a
good many of them have a pretty good
idea of what their soil needs in the way
of fertilizers, and the study given to
the subject last winter has been dollars
in their pockets ever since. They know
from the price of various feeds which
is the cheapest, and are able to feed in
diligently and furnish their stock with
a balanced ration. History, geography
or any other matter of interest, may
be taken up to advantage, for where
there is competition and friendly riv
airy, there is interest, and it is not hard
to study on a given question or branch
of knowledge.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1894-12-04
THE WORK.

No political party can progress be
cause it is bound down by it's creed, or
platform. For this reason we find old
parties totally inadequate to the times.
The Alliance is not a political organiza
ton, but it discusses all political ques
tions.
We see today the farmer demolish
ing the astute politician and driving
from the field of argument the willy
lawyer. What is it that has given the
farmer such power7 1t is the education
received through the Alliance.
The old time leaders are unable to
meet the well posted Allianceman on
the platform or in the press. The Alli-
ance has for once put the farmer far
ahead of the other avocations in the
science of economic government.
The Alliance is a progressive order
1t investigates all subjects and arrives
at the truth. 1t presents the truths
for the condemnation of the world and
is only bound by them until investiga
ton takes another step forward. The
Alliance has brought to light true
Democracy, which has slumbered for a
quarter of a century. 1t has shown up
the wicked rule of ~pluocracy in a
manner that has opened the eyes of
the whole nation.
Now an order that has done so much
for the education of the people should
command the energy of every true
patriot in the land to sustain it and
publish its influence.
An academy that has done such
work to bring truth and justice to light
should be maintained.
There is an idea abroad that the Al
lance has accomplished it's purpose,
when through its teachings a new po-
Iitical organization has been formed
which accepts the Alliance demandsas
its platform, but a greater mistake was
never made.
Investigation must go on and the
Alliance is the only order that is doing
anything. Get everybody to investigat-
ing through the Alliance.

HOW MoNOPoLIES CAN BE SUP
PRESSED.

We have in this country a large
number of people who can be induced
to oppose liberal and progressive move
ments, and who are ever ready to &C
cept the slightest hint from monopolists
and old fogies, if anything appears to
have a centralizing tendency. Such
people are monopolists at heart, and
only need the opportunity to bleed their
fellow citizens. Perhaps some of them
are honest in their views. When you
can get people to believe that the way
to get more money in circulation is to
quit making any, nothing need excite
surprise.
Strange as it may seem, city people,
poor and rich, are the most ardent mo-
nopolists to be found. Their educa-
tional advantages and business train
ing is generally superior to that
acquired by farmers, and this ought to

Every joy is accompanied by sorrow.
Success is blended with failure. Editor
H A. Latham, of the Washington, N.
c., Gazette, who has been reading
clerk in the House during three ses-
sions of the legislature, will not be
here any more. Never again will he
sport that same white duck suit on the
streets of Raleigh. If his crowd get
the legislature again, it will be so far in
the future that a new suit will be a
necessity. That suit has a history but
we will not take the time to tell it
now-nothing detrimental, mind you,
but a history.

BENoIT WILL

A. Benoit, Populist, has mailed Con.
gresham Chas. j. Boatner a formal
notice that he will contest Mr.. Boat
ner's right to a seat in the 54th Con
gress as the representative of the 5th
Louisiana congressional district. In
this letter Benoit claims that gross
frauds have been perpetrated in some
of the parishes. and that many per
sons who voted for Boatner and many
who did not vote, but would have
voted for himself, were deferred
through intimidation and fear of. os
tracism. He claims that he received a
majority of the legal votes in the re
cent election, and that 1000 more
white votes were cast for him than
for his opponent. The official vote in
the district has not yet been an
nounced, but Boatner claims he is
elected by 10000 majority. We sup
pose he goes on the rule that it is just
as easy to say river as creek. Elec
tions in the South are certainly made
a mere matter of sport and jollity.
The People party must restore to the
ballot at least some degree Of it's
~sacredness, Importance and solemnity.

THE SECRET OF UcsCEss.

One of the District Alliance organ
izers writes as follows: 1T is no
trouble to get men into the Alliance
who read The PROGRESSIVE FARMER. :"
To all who are earnestly seeking to
forward the Alliance and secure the
enactment off our platform into law:
we commend the above quotation.
Where Alliances have gone down it is
no trouble to reorganize provided the
former members have been reading
your State organ in the meantime. 1t
is not so difficult to get new members
among our subscribers, either. The
man who reads THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER keeps up with Alliance pro-
gress throughout the State and Nation.
He gets all the news every week,
reads the discussions of our platform
and keeps in touch with the brethren
everywhere. There are about a dozen
organizers in the State now, and we
hope all CT them will keep this in
mind. Let every earnest officer of
the Sub, County and State Alliances
second the efforts of these organizers,
not only in building up the waste
places and mending the broken ones,
but in pushing the circulation of your
State organ. Many will tell you that
they wish to read the paper but have
no money. Most of them can raise
enough to pay for their State paper if
they will try a little harder. Insist on
their taking it at least three or six
months al a starter. Keep the matter
before them at every meeting-any-
where you see them. Continued efforts
will bring success and the reform cause
will be strengthened accordingly.

A FRAUD.

1t has recently come to light through
Mr.. GORDON CLARK, of Washington,
D. O., who is in close touch with
friends living in England, and who has
lived there himself, that certain Lon
don banking houses in that old metrop-
oils, are engaged in STAMPING AMERI-
Jan and MEXICANe SILVER DOLLAR
COINS, and sending them abroad; the
Mexican dollars go chiefly to Asia,
while the American, or y. S. dollars
go to the Indies, and from there the
.. S. coins are SEM TO the U. S. in
place of gold in settlement of any
balance of trade in favor of Americans
(tUhicb they no doubt take special care
to see largely eGistS). As they can
purchase the silver at about 631 cents
per ounce, and by this nefarious sys-
tenn of cOWnterfeiting, turn every 3714
grains of the 480 in the ounce which
costs 633 cents into 100 cents, by which
trick they make clear 1868 on each
1000 ounces which cost them 1886.
Using 3714 grains pure silver to coin
(Glay included a dollar or 100 cents.

called refuses to allow to its W citi-
zens. Too bad, Too bad-NGtionGl

OUR FOOTBALL DEPARTMENT.

Five wounded foot ballists were car
ried off the field during a game at
Washington, D O., Thursday.
War is a terrible thing. But the
percentage of killed and wounded, in
proportion to numbers, is not as great
as go down in foot ball.
When the light of a higher civiliza-
ton is spread abroad in the land,
parents will not send their sons to col
leges where foot ball is allowed.
Superintendent Byrnes, of the New
York police force, detailed $50 police
men to attend the game of foot ball be-
tween Yale and Princeton at that city
Friday Ito prevent brutality"
Weare now at that interesting period
in the history of the world when the
average daily newspaper will devote
from two to three columns to an ac-
count of a foot ball game and three
inches to the proceedings of a State
Baptist Association, Presby terrain
Synod. or Methodist Conference.
The North Carolina University foot,
ball team went to Richmond last Thurs,
day and kicked with the University of
Virginia team, which defeated the
Chapel Hill team by a score of "a to O..
Hurrah for higher education"-in
Virginia! The University of North
Carolina needs a new professor of foot
ball.
On last Thursday a wagon contain
ing the Southbridge, Mass, foot ball
team was crossing a railroad track
near that city, and it was struck by a
locomotive. Two of the team were in
stantly killed, five badly wounded and
several slightly injured. The railroad
company ought to increase the salary
of the engineer. Some engineers would
have stopped. if possible.
