In the Abbeville campaign Mr.. Gra-
BAN, candidate for the House is thus
reported in the Greenwood Journal:
"Mr. Graham, for the House, thought
there were too many lawyers in the
Reform pie to make 1t taste good. He
did not object to lawyers holding office.
but he did not like these eleventh hour
converts. In the i~nfanes~of the Re-
form movement no lawyer could be
found to champion their cause-now
they are easily converted and become
"sanctified" in five days after CONVEX
sion; and are ready for Office"
There now! Just see! Think of it!
Wonder! The idea Of cutting off from

Gary and Judge Christie Benet! Think
of growing weary OF recruits like
these and refusing them q share Of the

these hard worked and self-sacrificing
gentry to tell them they must stay out

The Democrats of Georgia met in
convention and nominated O Governor
and other State officers. They met as
Democrats, deliberated as Democrats
and as Democrats adjourned to go to
the country and fight all corners.
There was no clique, cabal, Or eXclu-
sfve council who had met Sin a corner"
and brought with them q cut-and-dried
ticket for perfunctory endorsement.
In Georgia they have Democrats, Pop
ulists, Greenbackers, Third P~artyites
and Republicans, but no shams. There
is manliness in Georgia. Even Tom
Watson, so worshipped and carried
Observation-Disclosures in South
Carolina, had to choose under which
banner he would march. (How is it

They endorsed the national democratic

have stood up in Southern manhood
and chose another name and q new
allegiance.

That right of search, about
which some of the anti papers are
making such a howl, as an inya-
sion of the rights of the citizen.
won't affect the righteous at all,
but only the sinner. How about
the hight of search for stolen goods?
Is that an invasion of the castle?
And yet both these rights of search
proceed upon the same hypothesis,
that the law has been violated.
There is no right of search in any
event, unless there are over five
gallons of liquor in your house,
and even as much as a barrel can
be kept if you get certificate
from Stale Commissioner Traxler,
and this certificate doesn't cost a
cent.
The Bible Gays the law is for the
guilty, not the innocent. If you
do not break the law you have no
reason to fear, and if the law is a
terror to the guilty, so much the
better for the community at large.
This right of search for contra
band liquors can never be obnox-
ious to the law w-abiding citizen, but
it will very naturally be execrated
by law-breakers.

BUSINESS IMPROVING.

kThere has been q decided improve
ment in business since the new
year came in. The New York
Sun says the "tide has turned"
and the gain is no longer visible
only in speculative markets. 1t is
the only kind of improvement that
has in it possibilities of lasting,
because it is based upon actual
increase in the production by in
dustries. AS all rejoice to see it,
there is perhaps a little disposition
to reckon on the gain greater than
it is as yet; but several large ss-
tablishmehts have started with
part force, hoping to increase, and
more smaller works have started
than have stopped. Orders from
dealers whose stocks approach
exhaustion froma prominent cause,
another is the widely prevailing
impression that action at Wash
ington will be more satisfactory
than many have expected, and a
belief that iu any case the situa-
tion will not be changed until
goods now in the works can be
marketed, has weight in some
trades. Whatever the causes, even
a moderate gain is most cheering"

4 POWERFUL ALLY

The Farmers Alliance should
pay some attention to the active
work that is being done by the In
ternatlonal Typographical Union
10 secure the governmental owner
ship and control of the telegraph.
The Washington committee has
Cor some time past been receiving
most encouraging reports from all
sections of the country. The
local committees are very active.
They are issuing: circulars, visiting
labor and reform organizations
and gathering influence in favor
of their measure every day. Re-
markable to relate, the efforts of
the committees in various con-
gressional districts and States
have been to bring about change
of views on the part of their re-
presentatives. The Washington
committee already have, as q re-
suit of their work done in
Massachusetts,, fifty thousand sig
natures to a petition calling for
the governmental ownership and
control of the telegraph. Letters
are pouring in asking for blank
petitions. The organized bodies
of workingmen throughout the
United States are passing officers
and seals of the signatures of
officers and seals of organizations
attached, which are being mailed
to representatives every day. The
work in this direction, while there
has been no mention of it in the
newspapers, has created consid-
erable comment at tho national
capital. For the first time in
years, a movement, that is not
shouting at every street corner

AFTER SECRETARY MORTON.

The oranges of the country are
having whack at Secretary Nor
ton about what he had to say a
short time since concerning the
professional farmers organization.
The latest to speak is the State
SamaBd GEaRagBsd fa&fatP af tPtaRh PtRs Est7,
in equally forcible language, re-
marks made by him derogatory to
the agricultural organizations; if
he does not do this, President
Cleveland will be asked to request
his resignation. That is. not what
we want. Secretary Morton made
certain specific charges against
officials of certain agricultural
associations as to the methods they
used in carrying ON their
organizations, and in the conduct
of their financial affairs. When
a man charges corruption and mis-
management it is not a sufficient
answer to demand his removal
from Office. What is necessary is to
refute the charges. If Secretary
Morton made false charges, he
should be, and undoubtedly will
be removed from Office; but if, on
the other hand, his charges are
true, he should be commended by
all farmers, and the guilty parties
in the farmers organizations
should be punished.
