How to Raise the Fund-"A Little Sum
from Bach One Will Suffice.
Mr.. EDTToR:-A neat little sum has
already been paid in for the purpose of
erecting a splendid monument at the
grave of our lamented leader, Col. L.
L. Polk, in lakewood Cemetery, Raj
eigh. Some has been pledged but has
not yet come in.
In order that the work may begin all
the money that can be raised must be
forthcoming. Many true reformers
throughout the United States intend
to contribute, but r waiting for the
Board of Trustees to let out the CON
tract. The money must be in sight be-
fore this can be done.
It is hardly necessary to say any
thing as to the Importance of erecting
a handsome monument. To build a
monument in keeping with the love
the people had for Col. Polk would re-
quire an unreasonable sum of money.
Yet we cannot and will not be satisfied
with an ordinary monument, His
work, his personality will live in our
hearts, but our children ought toknow
how we appreciated one 70 true and
brave.
Can we raise the money! for one
say we can. If every one of Presi
dents Folks friends and admirers
throughout the State and United
States would but contribute 5 cents
each1a beautiful monument could be-
erected at once. Let the reform press
push this matter, not in a half hearted
way, but with energy, persistently.
Every man, woman and child can do
something. Each family can contribute
the price of a bushel of grain or an
equal amoun5 from some other source
and never miss it. If a great many
dollars were required from each one in
thest hard times it could not be raised.
But a small amount can and should be
sent to Mr.. Hal w. Aver, Raleigh, or
President Marion Butler, Goldsboro,
N. O., and sent right away. Let us go
to work. ALLIANCEMAN.

A NEW ISSUE RAISED.

Our Democratic brethren don't hold
to one thing very long nowadays. For
years and years we fought, bled and
got defeated, believing that tariff re-
form would cure most of our troubles.
That theory has been exploded and the
brethren are o mostly protectionists.
Some months ago they told us the
Sherman law was the trouble. We
said amen, repeal it and give us some
thing better" But the good times still
linger far away. Now they say it is
sleeplessness; that we only have to
imagine that we are happy and pros
porous; imagine that wheat is % per
bushel and cotton Is cents a pound,
and that mad dogs are \ myth. The
Leaksville Gazette, a leading Demo
craft organ, fires the first gun of the
campaign and tells what the fight is
about. The issue shall be poke salad
VS.. turnip salad. ALI Democratic can
didates must subscribe to that plat.
form with the understanding that thev
will not be stubborn and insist that il
means anything if they get elected.
Early next spring President Cleveland
will call an extra session of the 54tt
Congress to restore confidence by cut
ting off the supply of both poke and

turnip salad. But here is what the
Gazette says:
There is a general complaint OF
inability to sleep soundly at night IN
this community, and hoping to find
out whether the cause was atmos-
pheric or systematic 30 that q remedy
could be suggested, we applied to a
physician last Monday. But in his
diagnosis of the epidemic we met with
no encouragement. He says that the
s~leeplessness complained of is produced
by hard times, by the mind dwelling
upon the desperate struggle to make
buckle and tongue meet" According
to the doctors theory, when a person
wakes during the night his mind be-
comes actively engaged In the cam
paign for life's necessities through the
hard summer in prospect, and medical
science can suggest no panacea for the
removal of affecting causes. But it
has been hoped that a few messes OF
poke salad will abate the ailment, and
in time the ills complained of will
gradually YEA away"

ing 1859 chicks from 1859 fertile eggs and
making an average of 80 per. cent. in
general use. This incubator is built
upon entirely new and improved lines

absolutely self regulating. The manu-

During a recent revival meeting in
Danbury, according to the Post, every
white adult, male and female, in the
town, got religion, except two, and
these went forward and gave the
preacher their hands and asked for the
prayers Of christian people. Your
Uncle Sam Jones and other budding
revivalists must take back seats here
after. They can't begin to make such
a clean sweep. Now if all other towns
would do likewise and carry their re
ligion into their business affairs and
to the ballot box, our country would
be worth the name after awhile. Two

is not an easy matter to judge the
merits of an incubator by the way it is

R.-"Mr. Coxey is a Democrat, and
I presume most of his followers are of
the same faith. At any rate they are
men who have been thrown out of en-
ployment since your Uncle Grover
took charge. and they are now march
ing to Washington to fall on their
knees and beg the President and Con-
gress to quit squeezing them, ease up
things, issue nor money, and so on"
B.-"I seed in the papers that Gineral
Coxey hes bin a DemOkrat, but l didn't
know but he had fjoined the Republi-
cans since things hev got awl tangled
up. I knowed in my mind he wasn't
q Populist, fer they hev quit Begin
Kongress ter do this an that an hev
quit sendin' petishuns on paper. Out
here on the Neuse they awl say they
are goin' ter send their petishuns in

I could jine in with Coxey's army an

tainly you will have as good chance as

the Good Book says "the haisr on every

more things ov that sort. She lowed
that it didn't say ennything erbout my
