The trouble at Farmers Pride Grange of
Lincolnvile has broken out anew. 1t was
hoped that the case tried at the October
term of Court V as the end of the matter,
but such is not the case. The grange meet
ings have been resumed and series of Mon
day evening dances started. Monday petit
ton was filed in the Insolvency Court for a
warrant of attachment and injunction, and
Sheriff Norton took possession of the hall.
A hearing will be held in the Insolvency
Court at the December term to determine
whether or not the grange is insolvent.
Monday evening the dancers arrived at the
hall and, finding it locked up broke in and
started the dance. The Sheriff was notified
and went at once to the place, but found it
deserted. The intruders gained admission
by breaking a window and then opening the
double doors from the inside. Negotiations
We're begun yesterday afternoon for an
alnicable settlement of the whole matter.

To the Farmers Of Waldo Co:

The time is near at hand when the new
crop of hay will be ready for market, and it
is essentially necessary that the same should
be pressed in such manner as to command
the highest market price. This can best be
accomplished by using Dedrick Colu III
start in the vicinity of Belfast. Hay put up
by these presses is sought for and acknowl
edged by all dealers to bring higher prices
than the same quality of hay put up by other
presses. From twelve to thirteen tons of
Dedrick pressed hay can be loaded in a
common box car at saving in freight of 50
per cent. to the shippers and 20 per cent.
more hay can be pressed in given time
than with the old style presses.
These presses are being introduced and
considerable expense by the owners and we
ask the farmers of Belfast and vicinity to
cooperate with us in this matter and make
the standard of Waldo county hay equal in
preparation to that of any section of the
country from which hay is shipped.
The Dedrck presses will be managed by
Freeman Ellis & Sons, South Brooks; Her.
bert Hamlin, South Brooks, and Charles
Barnes of Waldo. Communications to any
of the above parties will receive prompt at
Jention.

What Will the President Dop

New York World.
The constitution of the United States
provides that every order, resolution or
vote to which the concurrence of the SEN
ate and house of representatives may be
necessary Except on a question of adj
journmenD shall be presented to the
president for his approval or veto.
A mere custom or practice as to con-
current resolutions treating them differ
emily from joint resolutions, seems some-
how to have set aside this apparently
plain requirement of the constitution.
Accordingly 1T is assumed in Washington
that the president need not act one way
or the other on the concurrent Cuban
resolutions recently adopted by over
whelming majorities in both houses
But will the president avail himself of
this custom? He is perfectly aware that
these resolutions express the will of the
people; that the people desire him to
carry their meaning into effect, and that
the country will hold him responsible for
his use or his failure to use the authority
conferred upon him by the resolutions
Apparently he is bound either to dc
what congress, speaking for the people,
has demanded, or to send a message 70
congress giving his reasons for declining
to do so. 1t is scarcely conceivable that
he will let pass unnoticed. such a call Ia
action as this is, expressing as 1t clearly
lions and desire of the country.
Action, or message in explanation OF
a failure to acA IS 70 be expected in q

OUR LETTER BOX.
A Law Unto Himself.


To the State Herald:
Paul says, LAS we have, therefore, OPP
portunity, let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the
household of faith
The News processes to champion the
democratic cause, to teach democratic
principles uphold democratic faith and
to labor for democratic success. 1t would
resent any accusation against its SINGER
ity or any doubts as to it's genuine de-
mocracy. One of the cardinal principles
of democratic faith and practice is that
the majority rules. We can differ as
much as we please as to the policy of the
party previous to it's declarations. But
when they are officially promulgated
they should be accepted as whole, and
not in part. If one cannot accept them
as a whole he should at least abstain
from an attack upon them, and maintain
| a discreet silence concerning what is re-
pugnant to him. His course then would
excite no unfavorable criticism or raise
any doubt as to it's propriety or the
soundness of his democracy.
But when, as in the case Of the News
the personnel of the democratic ticket is
accepted and the declaration in the plat
form as to silver is repudated and de-
nounced and attacked, isn't the effect to
breed discomfort, to encourage disorgan-
ization and to foster decentralization?
Doesn't 1t put its own belief and doc
trines as wiser and better than the
spoken doctrines of the party? If, as the
News claims, only the national conven-
ton can declare the policy of the party
upon silver, then it's declaration that
eve hold to the use of both gold and sill
yer and their equal coinage, without dis
elimination against either" ETC., is "the
law and the gospel upon the subject,
and should be preached by all who pro-
feSS to advocate the QemOcratio faith
Almost daily the News advertises it's
defiance of any obligation to support the
state democratic platform as a whole by
repudiating the silver plank, and at the
same time Ignores the spoken principles
of the party as expressed in the last ma
tional platform upon the question. 1t
has become on this subject "a law unto
Itself" neither guided nor controlled by
the declara tons of the state or national
conventions. If, to use the News as
sertlon, mo man is greater than his
party" pray tell me
ION what meat hath this our Caesar fed
That he hath grown so great!'
To win the battle now engaging us we
must close ranks, keep in close fighting
order and obey instructions from consti-
tuted authority. We want no attacks to
come from within our lines; no encour-
agement to revolt or desert or to give
but a half-hearted assent to our princi-
pies and success. We want a genuine,
whole-hearted support, not only of our
candidates, but of our platform of prin-
ciples We can't afford to countenance
the sowing of seeds of distrust in our
ranks. or to ignore the offender. particu-
larly when he assumes to teach the true
doctrine. For when a man thinks HIM
self to be something when he Is nothing
he deceiveth himself"

STATE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We. the democrats of the state of Ala
bama, in convention assembled, declare
our continued faith in the old time and
honored principles of the demoeratlc
party, and among these principles are
the following:
/ The free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at 16 to / as the standard
money of the country, without any dis
elimination against either metal and
without the consent of foreign nations,
as the United States coined silver and
gold before the republican party OBJ
famed control of the government and
changed the coinage laws of the country
for the benefit of a class and to the in
Jury of great mass of the people.
The unconstitutional penalty of 10
r,l. centum on each issue of state bank
notes by any state or national bank
ought to be repealed.
II Is our purpose to maintain a govern
,,,ent in this state fair and just to all,
una>. control of the white men of Ala
bama.
The faith and credit of the state must
be maintained untarnished.
Our system of public education should
he improved and extended so far as the
state has the ability, without oppressive
taxation
We are in favor of honest and fair
elections, and we recommend that laws
be enacted under which primary cleo
tions and other party proceedings for the
selection of candidates may be con-
Quoted.
We cordially invite all good citizens of
this state, and especially all democrats
who strayed from the party, to unite
with us in an earnest and determined eff
fort to maintain good government in the
state of Alabama.
Let us preserve the dignity and credit
and peace, and, If possible, the prosperity
of our state.
Birmingham state herald. (Birmingham, Ala.) 1895-1897, 1896-05-06


frage amendment renders such law alb
solutely necessary, and the new 1egisla-
ture should proceed to- enact it at its first
session. 1t could be tried in the elections
this fall, and If 1t works satisfactorily,
then at its next session, if constitutions
al convention is necessary, 1t could be
called, and the election of its delegates
thus safeguarded by good election law.
If an election for delegates to constitu+
tional convention were called under our
present unrestricted suffrage laws the
experience of the late campaign would
be re-enacted, practically the same ma
jority that was rolled up against the suf-
frage amendment would be given in IA
vor of men who would promise not to in
terfere with the elective franchise, the
result being that the advocates of negro
domination would be in absolute control
of the convention. We cannot afford to
take such chances. A law qualifying the
suffrage must first be enacted and tried
before we can afford to go into SO serious
matter as constitution making. We
cannot afford to recklessly go into
scramble by which the negro traders
would capture the convention and undo
all the good work accomplished by the
democratio party during twenty years.
There is much good common sense in
what the Advocate says, and we agree
with it in nearly all it's views except as
to the time of the convention.
