EXPEL N

In another column will be found a
bill to expunge the Resolution of 1879,
expelling Mr.. Josiah Turner from the
House of Representatives.
If Mr.. Turner's statements in the
expunging resolution be true, the ex-
purgation will not be delayed as long
as it was in the case of President
Jackson.
1t was on the 28th day of March,
1884, that the Senate passed resolu
tions condemnatory of President Jack
son for removal Of the deposits. It
was on the 10Th day of March, 1887,
that ''Old Bullion" as Benton was
called, succeeded in having the Senate
resolution %expunged. Clay, Webster,
and Calhoun were the great orators
who spoke against e~xpurgation and
against jackson.
Benton Brown (of CaswelD, Blu
chanan, Bayard, Dane and Linn spoke
for Jackson.
The vote stood "a for expunging and
II against it.
It seems to be admitted that Mr..
Turner was wronged and i'll treated by
the Democracy.
We are informed that Judge billiard,
of Greensboro, does not tire of saying
that every man who pays tax, and
holds Office in North Carolina owes
Joe Turner a debt of gratitude.

PRAISE FOR THE ALLIANCE.

The Southern Mercury commends
the Alliance in the following language:
There never was a time when the in
fuence of the Farmers Alliance was
more sorely needed than now. The
farmers and all producers Of the
land must organize if they propose to
maintain their statuts with other
classes. It is a necessity personally
to the agricultural classes. Their
safety depends upon organization.
Upon the farmers resi- the RESPONSE
bility, to a large degree, for the future
of the country. They have the power,
if it is aggregated, to lead the people
out of the wilderness of error that en-
CULTS them at present.
Our political system must be re,
formed, and that reform must be
brought about by the common people.
Such is the history of all reforms.
Capitalists, men of money, bankers
and money loaners never inaugurate
reform movements. Men who reap
profits from trusts and combines, never
intimate reforms. They always origi-
nate among the laboring and produc-
ing classes.
Reform must come in this country
or comes revolution. If the farmers
are well organized, acting in union
with organized labor of all kinds, and
will push the matter of educating the
people that impending calamity may
be averted.
Outside of the benefits that organi
cation will bring to the farmers as a
class, great good al be accomplished
to the public veal by a thorough or
~ganization of the farmers In every
State in the Union. They can then
work in harmony, and any move or
measure they champion can be given
an impetus that will insure It's consid-
GRAFTON.
Now is the time, during the leisure
season, for the work of reorganizng
the Alliance to be done. Every sus-
pended Alliance should be reorganiEed
and new ones established in every
available field. If the proper work is

U RESOLUTION.

The following resolution to expunge
from the Journal of the House of Rep
resentatives, of North Carolina session
of 1879, in relation to the expulsion Of
Hon. Josiah Turner, will be introduced
during this session:
WHEREAS, The said resolution is of
evil example, unjust, unconstitutional
and dangerous and should not have
been received, and in fact was never
considered or debated nor was notice
of expulsion ever served upon said
Josiah Turner nor did he ever hear of
the motion to expelI until he heard OF
the expulsion itself. Therefore,
RESOLVED. that the said resolution he
expunged from the journal, and for
that purpose, that the clerk of the
House shall on blank date bring the
manuscript journal of the session of
1879 into the House and In the pres
ence of the House draw black lines
around the said resolution and write
across thereof in strong letters the fol
lowing words" expunged by order of
the House, this the - day of Febru-
airy in the year Of our Lord 1896"

JUSTICE IN VIRGINIA.

Smlthers' Precinct, near Richmond,
where the most shameful frauds have
been perpetrated, has become famous
or Infamous. The Richmond Times
exposed the schemes and the clerks
and judges of election were arrested,
tried and found guilty. But justice
has not been melted out. The Rich
mond Sun tells it in this way:
'"This is how Democratic officials
punish % Democratic ballot box stuff
fers and perjurers; this is how the law
is vindicatedP
The clerks and judges of election of
Smither's precinct, who were convicted
in the county court of Henrico of
perjury and theft, and sentenced to
imprisonment in the county jail, sur
rendered themselves on Monday last,
and at 8 o'clock were conducted, not
into cells, where such criminals belong,
but to an upper room, where they
were made comfortable by deputy
sheriff RUSSELL until midnight, when
they were allowed to depart. Supper
was served the q~uintette from a res
taurant at the Sherif's expense, and
their short stay in the prison was
enlivened by many visitors. The
names of these convicts are James
Holloran, Lee W. Brauer, W. P.
Woodson, William Wilson and B. f.
Ashby.
What al outrageous spectacle of de-
based morality Convicts of such a
despicable character are Toasted by
accommodating officials who in a large
measure have profted by the crimes
committed by these quondam election
officers and others of their ilk.
What a travesty on justicel
What q shamei"
Virginia is in the hands of the
Democrats. IF the party does not rise
up N nasse and demand that the sen
tence Of the court be carried out, then
the party as a whole goes on record

tions or the punishment of the guilty

PUBLIC PRINTING.

The legislature has been trying to
dispose of the Pulic Printing by letting
it to the lowest bidder, but the commit
tee can't decide who is the lowest bid
der. We think the whole thing is a
mistake. It will never result salts
factorily until it is done by electing a
Public Printer, making him an officer,
to be elected by the legislature or by
popular vote. But we are not criticiz
ing harshly. The members doubtless
thought they were disposing of it in
the best way. The chances are that
the printing will go to a Democratic
firm under present arrangements. If
so the dominant parties must take
their medicine like little men. The
Lowest bidder is entitled to it, and we
cannot approve any plan to keep them
out of it.

NOTHING REMARKABLE ABOUT
1T

The NeWS and Observer and other
contemporaries are rather surprised at
the attitude of THE PROGRESSIVE
FARMER toward the legislature. All
we have said has been for the good of
the people and for the legislature it.
self. The reform press of the State is
largely responsible for the presence of
the men who compose this legislature.
Therefore it is our duty to urge, advise
and suggest a line of action; to praise
the good and condemn the bad. If the
legislature does not come up within
haIing distance of the standard, then
we shall tell the people what we know
about it.
The legislature has already done
some good work, and still has time to
carry out all promises. But we repeat
that time is getting precious, delays
are dangerous. The reform press of
this State Q no party collar. If
the legislature does not merit the ap-
proval of the honest people and honest
papers, the truth will be told. The
record of each Senator and Represen-
tative is public property, be it good or
bad. However, we hope and trust that
there will be no cause for harsh criti-
cism. But it is high time private bills
be laid aside for more important legis-
lation.

tion. Have YOU never read of an engi-
neer and conductor jumping the train,
leaving the wreck and taking to the
swamp, miserable for life because hu
man life had been lost by neglect OF
duty. An accident has happened,
they are responsible, and they fee for
their lives. Such a fugitive is an ALI
anceman when he refuses to work for
his sub; an officer who does not do his
duty is even worse; he is the watch
man who fails to give the signal and
permits his fellowmen to run on and
be hurled into eternity, chaos, and
darkness.
Now we know that the Alliance is to
give relief to this country, and we
know that Individual work is what is
needed, and we appeal to all to do their
duty. Do not think we are weak in
numbers, spirit, or determination.
Our Order is founded on right and
justice, and to day stands better
equipped for the battle than ever be-
fore. 1t is not loaded with driftwood
or dressed for a ball, but stands on the
arena ready and willing for the fray.
Will you be q contributing member,
or will you stand back and follow a
stranger whom the people call your
master9 Will you follow your master
with Topped ears and tail between
your hind legs, have him cuff you,
beat and curse you, or will you enter
the chase and make the wOodsresonant
with your life voice, a gift from God
for good, and to serve all creation9
Such are questions that every individ-
ual Allianceman should answer.
Don't wait for your leaders, but go to
work around your Sub lliance.- @.

It is as much a duty of the govern

money to do the business of the
try as it is to furnish postage stamps
to carry on the postal business.
When Grover was q baby we gave
him bonds. When he was a child
he cried for bonds. When he got mar
ried he still clamored for bonds, and
when he became President he gave
England bonds.
We are for any plan that will place
school books in the hands of our boys
and girls It more reasonable prices.
Something ought to be done about this
before the legislature ~adjourns. AfulI
investigation should come first.
1t has been suggested that the mem
bers of the legislature readthe Shipp
and Bragg fraud commissions and get
some pointers about how things were
managed In days gone by, not, how
ever, for emulation, but for intorma-
