GROVER GETS MAD.

Recently a Boston preacher charged
President Cleveland with being drunk
at public gatherings, receptions, etc.
The goldbug press and the goldbugs
generally jumped upon the preacher
with both feet and vehemently defended
their idol. On our third page we pub
lish Mr.. Cleveland's so-called denial(0
to carry out our idea of giving both
sides a hearing.
1t will be notiL1d that the President
don't make a denikLat all, but confines
his remarks to a denunciation of
preachers who have the courage to tell
the truth on ''our public servants"
We never saw the President drunk.
We hope it is not true that he gets
beastly drunk both publicly and pri-
vately, much to his own discredit and
to the detriment of the country. But
these charges have come time and
again, and from many sources. There
is bound to be some fire where there is
so much smoke. He insists, it is said,
on taking the we'll known remedy for
snake bites in season and out of season.
Winter and summer alike, fishing or
duck hunting, skating or swimming, he
keeps full to the high beer mark. In
fact he owns a brewery of his own at
Buffalo, N. Y. The President will be
suspected so long as these rumors go
cut thick and fast, and so long as he
continues his mean acts for the benefit
of goldbug plutocracy.

AT THEIR OLD TRICKS.

1t seems that the Democrats will not
reform. They n everlastingly at their
old tricks. It is said that money and
whiskey was used freely in the NUM-
cipal contest in Raleigh last week.
The Richmond, Va, Sun says:
Bribery, debauchery and fraud,
the fundamental principles of modern
Democracy, were the leading features
of the Henrico Democratic primary
held Thursday last. The purchase of
votes took place at all the precincts
without exception. Voters were perse,
, cuted with offers of money and whis
key from the heelers of the different
candidates, and votes were purchased
openly without any attempt of conceal,
ment by the highest bidder"
The Peoples Paper, Charlotte, says;
For "a hours before the primaries
were opened, whiskey was as cheap as
branch water for those who were tax
ing stock. We can't say who paid fol
it. the men that drank it say they die
not. By 4 o'clock when the polls were
opened the boys wer we'll tuned. Al
6 o'clock they were playing fine. From
then till 8 o'clock at the 2nd and Bro
wards the show would have knocked
out a negro war dance in the Junglet

BILL ARP

Two hundred and fifty Thousand
copies of ''Coin's Financial School,"
a little book on finance, have been sold
in the past few months. A copy fell
into the hands of Bill Arp MajrChss
II. Smith), the Georgia humorist. In
a recent letter William says:
Il can't answer a position in it and
/ am an average man. The truth is, I
am afraid to believe all that is in it for
fear somebody will call me a fool. I
asked Joel Chandler Harris about it
yesterday and what he knew about W.
II. Harvey, who wrote it. He smiled
and said: Harvey is a silver crank,
just like | am. They sal s %crsnk.
o ~ TAI answer the argument
Ia the silver side, and hence their only
reply is that the book is a humbug-a
deceitful and all that, but the
book is taking the Western and South
ern country"
From this little book some instruc-
tive facts may be gathered that it is
well for all men to know. For instance,
the total property valuation in the
United States is $25, 600, 900, OOO-twen-
ty- five thousand million dollars. The
total indebtedness of the country is
$17, 600, 600, 0O0-s9venteen thousand
million dollars, and all the figures are
given in detail. Maj. Smith, noting
this statement, comments thus:
well, if that's so, we are busted and
the appointment of a National receiver
is In order. He says the railroads alone
owe IS, 900, 600. 600 to Europe and the
annual interest is $240, 600, 600, payable
in gold. He says that every kind OF
property has been shrinking in value
since the crime of 1873 that old John
Sherman was the author of. The crime
of demonetizing silver by an act passed
between midnight and day, when every
body IA drunk or asleep and even
General Grant said he didn't know that
he had signed any such an act. It
takes twice as much property now to
pay a debt as it did five years ago. and
as we all owe nearly as much as we don't
owe, n country Is about bankrupt,
and a few thousand millionaires will
soon own the whole concern. This is
the picture he draws, and to read it and
believe 1t makes a man Ieel like taking
his double-Oarrel shotgun and joining
the army of bread winners.
The fact is that Coins book is
either a dangerous fallacy or an alarm.
ing truth. Cleveland is not In it. nor
the tariff, and neither will cut anv ig.
ure in the next Presidential election.
The shibboleth will be, Give us back
the dollar of u deddies, and coin il
tree!" The old alignment of parties
will not be in it, but the cry from the
West and the South will be: ''SiIveI
and goldI One and inseparable, now
and foreverr'

late of Johns Hopkins University.
Illustrated with nearly three hundred

This is a valuable book for historians,

and men of culture.
Even a great man and great events
must have short notice, but most OF
them are all mentioned, from those
sections of the Union whose history
has been written. Naturally we look
at once for Vance, and what is said of
him is short, but to the point:

ALLIANCE NOTES.

Tulare, California Alliance, will es
tablish a cooperative Alliance ex.
change.
Brother Ames, Assistant State Lee
turer, spent last week in Jefferson
county. Four Sub Alliances were re
organized. At one placehereceive eight
membeEs-w who had never belonged to
the Alliance. The spirit of organic
ton is at work and the people are again
coming in the Alliance.-TopekG I'D
UOcGte.
A meeting was called to re,organiD8
the Alliance in Buncombe county
N. O., last week.
The recent county meetings were not
largely attended, owing to the fact
that the farmers are badly behind with
farm work.
Correspondents will please send in
brief reports of the county meetings
promptly.

MAKING PROGRESS.

The Alliance i Raking progress, and
the signs are not strictly out of sight.
1t has stirred the whole stratum Of 80
ciety. 1t was born at the very time
that the nation most needed it. 1t
pointed out the future with the uner-
ring finger of prophecy, and erected a
platform upon which the suffering MEM
bers of the nation might stand. Every
plank has proved safe and sound. AS
q teacher the Alliance has been faith
full and effective. It reminds us of
the old minister who always preached
for a purpose. On one occasion he
had occasion to employ a Substitute to
go his weekly round. When the sub
stitute came to report the old veteran
inquired, Anybody c~onvertedF' No."
meekly replied the substitute. "Any-
body get mad9" thundered the old hero.
'No-o!" came the hesitatiDg response.
'Then," said the old herald of the COS
pei, "you are no goods" II always
count it lost work unless I convert
someone or get somebody mad" The
Alliance is doing this right along.

WE BID THEM WELCOME.

It is nov certain that there will be a
considerable influx of Northern and
Western settlers into the South, .espe-
cially North Carolina, this year. Some
have already arrived, and others will
come during the summer. A large
party of prospectors from Iowa, ILL
nois, and other central states we're
through the State last week. A colony
will settle near Chadburn, Columbus
county. We have many inquiries
about the State and many requests for
sample copies of this paper. People
who have land for sale should adver
tise it now.
A portion of these settlers will bring
capital and engage in manufacturing
enterprises. Some may go into bust
ness of various kinds. But by far the
greater number of them will engage in
farming. They will raise stock, fruit
and truck. These people will bring
new ideas, new doctrines. Few of
them will be we'll off, but they bring
brains and industry, the best capital
after all. We trust that they will be
good people-plenty of the other sort
are here now. Our people will treat
them kindly and aid them in every
worthy undertaking. OF course they
will meet with obstacles at first, com
ing here, as they do, to begin life anew.
but after living here a short while th6y
will wonder why they didn't come
sooner. On behalf of our people, we
bid the strangers welcome to our great
State.

CREDIT AT A GREAT COST.

The Baltimore Sam, which shines so
brightly that it can only be viewed
through a smoked glass, says the
Farmers Advocate, Dem. Charlestown,
W. Va, rises to observe that the con
dition Of the treasury is superb; that
it has ove ninety millions in gold and
a net cash balance of over ninety seven
millions, making a grand total of nearly
1873 millions Of dollars as against 1874
million dollars in '93. The Sun should
have freighted it's rays with the infor-
nation that 800, OOO, 900 of this sum
represents a debt, evidenced by national
bonds. Any fool, who has the credit,
or can furnish the collateral, can aug
ment his surplus Of money by borrow
ing. The San seems to belong to the
Micawber school which holds that a
bond cancels an obligation. The Sun
still gives light, even if it is of the
character of moonbeams falling
athwart the polished surface of a bald
headed mans think shop. In the lean
time the situation is unchanged. The
gold sharks can still compel the govern
ment to issue more bonds to buy o
gold any time they choose. The little
cessation in hostilities is only tempo
rary. Another bond issue is not only
a possibility; not only a probability,
but the next thing to a certainty. The
criminal involvement of the nation in
unnecessary debt is the evidence Of the
most puerile~ inbecility Oh the most stu
dendous rascality, for which the in
nocent Democratic party will be held
responsible, inasmuch as it has been
accomplished by Democratic leaders
who have betrayed their party and
held it's platform up to ridicule.

OF Africa, in a pair Of minutes. 800
negroes voted and :taey were all made
to swear they were Democrats for all
time. The poor negro lost his African
origin, if he swore and voted right.
and took on the scent of the rose
geranium, if he could chatter Demo
cratic gibberish. Negro domination
did not brighten any one that was
leading the charge. When they got
regularly into it they amused them,
selves knocking each other do wn. A
Democratic paper said there were
more heads with bumps on them the
next day than had been in the city for
years. Voters were paid anywhere
from a drink of doubled distilled rot
gut whiskey to 81. Weheard men a
they got 25c, some say they got a new
pair Of pants, some hats, some shoes,
some free rides. One negro who lives
in Biddleville out side of the city says
he was given % tickets and he voted
% OF them. Pretty good for one
neighborhood outside of the city limits.
One hal who lives Is miles from the
city told us he was to get two drinks
of whiskey and s. for his vote. He
said he had got his whiskey and was
just waiting for his man to come with
his n
