DANGER SIGNALS.

Recently, Rev. DR.. Talmage, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, said in an article
published in a religious paper:
Some of the finest houses of our
cities were built out of money paid for
votes in the legislature. Five hundred
small wheels in political machinery
with cogs reaching into one great cen
ter wheel, and that wheel has a tire of
railroad iron and a crank to it on which
Satan puts his hand and turns the cen
ter wheel; and that turns the five hun
dred other wheels of political machin-
cry. While in this country it is be-
coming harder and harder for the great
mass of the people to get a living, there
are o many in this country who have
their two millions, their ten millions
and their twenty millions and carry
the legislature in n pocket and the
Congress of the United States in the
other. And there is trouble ahead.
Revolution. 1 pray God it may be
peaceful revolution and at the ballot
box The time must come to this
country when men shall be sent into
public position, who cannot be pur-
chased. I do not want the union of
Church and State, but I do declare
that if the Church of God does not
show itself in favor of the great mass
of the people as well as in favor of the
Lord, the time will come when the
church as an institution will be extinct,
and Christ will go down again to the
beach, and choose twelve plain, honest,
fishermen to come up into the apostle
ship Of new d~ispensation of righteous
ness, MAYNARD and Godward."

DISHONEST ELECTION METHODS

We have given from time to time, a
synopsis of the dishonest election laws
of the various States. There were
many attempts, some Of them SUCCESS
full, to pervert the will of the people in
this and other States last week. But
for the public sentiment created by
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER and other
papers, doubtless more dirty work
would have been done in this State
than we have heard Of. We expect to
continue until public sentiment is
aroused fully to the dangers attending
fraudulent elections. We shall not
rest until the election laws Of this State
are amended and greatly simplifed,
so that the most humble white or col
ored man can register, vote, and feel
sure that his vote shall be counted.
The election la VS. are not only vicious,
but they are complicated and present
too many opportunities for ~rascality.
In Virginia, a State we love next to
North Carolina, election frauds have
been simply outrageous. The last legis
lature made a new election law, but
left it in such shape that the will Of the
majority cannot be recorded. We shall
not be satisfied with any such trickery
in North Carolina.
The Richmond Times, Democratic,
exposed the frauds in that State two
years ago, especially those practiced
around Richmond and Petersburg.
Some of the men were arrested but
escaped punishment, the courts, of
course, being Democratic. The new
law in that State is known as the Wal
ton law. Ga the 18th of October the
Times had this editorial:
1--WE most earnestly hope that the
State of Virginia may send q solid dele
cation of Democrats to the next Con
gress, but we want them to be Demo
Gratis who are elected to Congress by a
majority of the voters in their districts
casting their willing suffrages for
them, and not Democrats put into

it would be for Virginia, bad as it
would be for the whole country, for
Virginia to send Republican Congress.

RANSOM WILL NOT BE THE MAN.

Senator Ransom is the most for
midable and interruptions enemy the
people of North Carolina ever had IN
the State. It anything were lacking
to confirm this estimate the tone of
the New York papers would furnish
the missing link. They are the tools
Of the money power and Ransom is
an active servant. The New York
Times of the 9Th contained the follow
ing editorial:
North Carolina will elect to day both
branches Of Its Legislature, and at the
coming session two United States Sena-
tors will be chosen. Senator Ransom
will undoubtedly be elected his own
successor for the long term. The Sena
tor is popular in the North State, not
withstanding the fact that some Of its
citizens r unable to approve the
stand he has taken for sound money.
Senator Ransom was of great service
to the Administration and the cause of
repeal during the special session called
last year to strike the Sherman act
from the statute books. AS a candi
date to succeed the late Senator Vance
for the short term, the western part of
the State brings forward Major Charles
M. Stedman, of Asheville, who is a
sound Democrat, a man of ability, and
at n time Lieutenant Governor
of the State and President of the State
Senate. His experience and equipment
would promise for him if elected a
useful and honorable career in the

THE PROBABLE RESULT.

Strange as it may seem, the official
figures of the recent election in parts
of this and other States nave not yet
been made public. But enough is known
to warrant the statement that the CO.
operative movement has carried North
Carolina with a majority ranging be
tween 90, 900 and 40, 900. The PRO
GREssIvE FARMER sustains its reputa-
ton as a prophet. We get the Supreme
Court. State Treasurer, Superior Court
Judges and all of the Solicitors except
one. We get six of the nine Congress
men, possibly seven, and a majority
in both branches of the legislature.
This much is conceded, but owing to
the holding back Of the returns, we
can't give the exact number Of mem
bers of the legislature at this time
Proud, ,%intolerant, old Democracy has
been beaten, and it deserves it every
two years for it's intolerance, if for
nothing else.
Nationally the result is something of
a surprise. We expected the Demo
cratic party to suffer immense losses,
but was not prepared formuch of the
news received, and yet believe that
official figures will make changes. IT
looks as if some mysterious power con
trolled the will of the people. Free
coinage Congressman we're defeated in
silver States and free coinage men
elected in goIdbug States. High tariff
men were defeated in protection States
and low tariff men take their places.
The reported defeat of Congressman
Simpson, LATE Pence and Tom Watson
is a surprise and a matter for universal
regret. Seems that the mysterious
power" combined all the forces of
hades against these men. The Solid
South is broken. Three or four States
go the other way. The $50, 900 Demo
cratic majority in Texas goes glimmer-
ing. Populists and Democrats still
each claim the State, and it is close. We
will get several Congressman. 1t is
certain that the new Congress will seat
several Southern Congressman who
have been counted out.
The Peoples party made great gains,
so did the Republicans. The powers
that be are industrioualy claiming that
the Peoples party is dead. That is
because it elects from 20 to 80 Con
gressmen and holds the balance of
power in the Senate. The first esti
mates from Washington only gave the
Peoples party six members. Rapub-
licans have a large majority in the
House.
The only hope for wise and needed
legislation in Congress so long AS
Cleveland holds the veto power is to
get enough Peoples party, reform
Democrats and Republicans in Con
gress to pass measures over his head.
hope this has been done. IF not,
we are in for two years more of Cleve-
land destruction. Next week we will
size up the members Of Congress
elected.

Money makes the mare CO." says

lack of money that makes so many

Quite a number of Democratic cor
gans' are low discussing agricultural
subjects in their editorial columns.
That may or may not indicate that
they are edited by cabbage heads.
The next House will be Republican.
Peoples party may hold the balance
of power in the Senate. In any event
no monkey business will be toIer
ated. Plutocracy will get turned
down again if it interferes.
We hope there is no improperly in
telling certain postmasters that the
election is now over and it will do no
good to hold back or destroy the copies
of THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER going to
their offices. But if mild language
will not do, we will say that two parties
now control this country and neither
one of them approve of such things,
and if certain Fascslities are not ended
promptly the IawsSf the country will
be enforced.
