FARMERS ALLIANCE.
News aud Observer. L

I1Zdl1On OF dT11ef All1d0C
t for the purpose set forth in thei
t plans as originally promulgated.
The very fact that nearly ever
: article the farmer used was solt
by a corporation or trust, an'
the price Of nearly everything
; that the farmer made for sale wa
controlled by corporations anc
trusts, made it necessary tina
the farmers should organize fo
self protection, not to say pre-
servation.
The organization iii the be
ginning was very guarded il it:
admission of members and made
, efforts to keep out those who
would seek their own and not
anothers good.
The organization met with
great favor and rapidly grew III
numbers and influence, until all
over the South 1t was felt for
strength and blessing to those
for whom it was organized and
to the dis1nay of those WHO had
been using the farmers as prey
upon which to satisfy Their greed
for gain.
But as the influence OF the
Farmers Alliance began to be
felt for good, certain Of them
began to feel their power, and
then came DEMANDS, DECLAR-
ATIoNs and ULTlMATUMs. These
were thrown out to the polite
ians and political parties Of the
country.
Certain politicians and self
seeking, designing men saw
their opportunity to ride into
power and Oh to fame by falling
in with this movement Of the
farmers. Their only grievance
was the fact that they were not
in power, and their only hope
Of getting into power was thr-
ough some revolution that would
turn the people against those
whom they had been following
and create bitter preiudices, zeal
ousies and envvinos that would
arouse ignorance and stir up the
baser passions.
With this accomplished these
bad men soon became the lead
ers Of the Farmers Alliance and
with their leadership the cry for
RECOGNITION in every Primary,
county, District and State con-
vention. Not content with this
a step further was taken by the
organization Of a separate polit-
ical party and putting up candi>
dates for every office from Pres
ident down.
With the Organization Of the
Peoples party the Farmers All
lance began to disintegrate. The
greed for officer and power was
greater than the desire for "equal
rights for all and special pr1vil~
eyes for none,' And hence it is
we hear so little of the Farmer
Alliance now. Their influence
and power has gone.
We have read the appeal of
Mr.. w. S. Barnes, Secretary OF
the State Farmers Alliance Of
North Carolina, and could not
resist the retrospect Some Of us
tried to keep the Alliance out OF
politics. We knew the men that
were striving to capture them.
They were known, many of them
in the days of reconstruction and
were among those who plunder-
ed and Dillaoed every trust they

Cheap lands are temptation
to own large farms-too large
for the good of the owner. In
most cases they would yield
double the net profit if the labor
and expense laid out upon the
whole were judiciously put upon
the half. This is a hard lesson
to learn, says the ProgresSi1f

Mr.. Herbert W. Copeland, in the
Independent takes the state board OF
examiners and the superintendent OF
public instruction to task for the
grammatical errors, miss PEELED and
ambiguous words,illy constructed sem
tences, bad punctuation, ETC., in the
questions framed by them for the ex-
animation of teachers. 1t is surpris
ing that the superintendent should
haye permitted these questions to be
sent out before examining Them, even
if he had nothing to do with theil
preparation. We do not think, how
ever, this is the case, for 1t is his duty
to see that these questions are proper,
purtent and grammatical. To say
the least, the questions indicate
loose methods and Indifferent scholar
ship. The criticism is just AMI timely.
And is only another illustration of the
defects of our school system.

The discovery OF what may be a
true quartz fissure vein bearing gold
in Lincoln county, is not great news.
Gold has been known to exist in the
coast range in small quantities, and
has been taken out of the black sands
of. the coast in paying quantities.
That there is a mother fiissure In the
coast range whence it came to be
washed down the streams to the ocean
seems to be the only deducible fact.
There ought to be enough enterprise
to test the discovery just made and
reported Monday from Eddyville. This
is an opportunity for idle capital to
develop what may be profitable gold
mining industry, and we trust it may
be prosptcted at least.

There are signs of an awakening in
the Republican party Of Oregon to a
realization that real reforms must be
forthcoming or its days are numbered.
No one is so blind as not to see that
old methods Of party claptrap, plat
form promises and "a continuance Of
plundering the people will not longer
be tolerated. The employment by
the last senate of over sixty clerks at
S. to $40 a day for over six weeks
without a pretense that there was
anything for them to do, was in the
face Of hard times an insult to the
people of Oregon who earn their bread
by honest efforts? The only question
the people are puzzled about, is which
is the Doodle faction of the party ?
The only safe guide is when the peo-
PIE have put man in a position to
steal and he hasn't done it, keep him
there.

1t is worth noticing that the cur

religious topics. "QuO Vadls' treating
the prosecutions Of the early Ch ris-
tians in the time of Nero, published
by Little, Brown & Co., Boston, is
leading all books in sales.
"The Christian" is the title of a
new novel by Hall Caine, considered
his great masterpiece. His American
publishers are d. Appleton, & Co.,
New York. The "Chap Book"review
has the following criticism:
A charming Manx girl, the child of
a clergyman, is in love with the son
of lord, and he with her He takes
orders, aud they go together to Lon
don, he to enter upon the cure of souls
in a hospitals; she to take the training
therein as nurse. He becomes deeply
disgusted at the wOrldliness of his
brethren;she equally 50 at restriction,
which prescribed that the sick shall
be made better by rule or not at all.
He fees to an Anglican monastry;
she, after many struggles, to successes
as a music hall singer and fashionable
"entertainer." He emergeS from his
self imprisonment in dsgust-and
thereafter the moral Of the story is
infinitely weakened by lie gradual
disclosure that his mind has given
way and is steadily falling; for with
out free agents why was the volume
written? 1t ends tragically; though
the eventual union of the twain is
felt to be more in accord with the
nature of things than the final catas-
tophe.
Still, it is rot to be denied that the
authors sincerity of purpose is
strong enough TO cary on the readers
interest. His heroine is alive, and
her hair is abundantly justified of its
au born hue. The letters she writes
are perfect, after their kind-and
men 60 not write women's letters,
as the annals of English fiction ap-
prove from the DAY of Richardson.

that of the monastery and the music.

striking scenes are dragged in, 50 to

obtained through undue means, is

tion.
We cannot believe, as the marshall
ing of the foregoing details attest,
that The Chistian is a work of art,
though not for the reason Mrs. Caine
fears in his noe; we do not believe
1t to be werthy of his abilities, ard
we are convinced its pessimism and
hoplessness deny it all title to moral
grandeur, failing its art and its au-
thor The popularity of it, however,
is inevitable.

NOW that he owns oil wells-remem-
bers the time when he worked on one

does not argue that as ..e once had to

others will have to take theirs.
He works his men eight hours a
day, while Others, profting by
the law of supply and demand, are
working their men twelve. He says
that machinery has cheapened the
production Of oil, and thinks that the
capitalist should not reap all the ben
eft of this. An exchange says he
actually invites his employees to his

Here is Multimlllionaire Rockafel-
ler's reputed advice to Bible class:
81 hope you young men are all care
full. l believe it is religious duty to
get all the money you can, get it
fairly, religiously, honestly, and give
away all you can" There is much
controversy over this utterance of the
American Napoleon of the art of
money-making. Like his French pro-
totype in the art of making empires,
or of Alexander the Great, of ancient
times, his practices have become his
philosophy. But his philosophy is no
sounder than that of N apoleOn or
Alexander. There has not been ut
tered more unsound or indefensible
sentiment than this mans "get all
you can; give away all you can" 1t
is beginning to be questionable
whether an honest man could accept

knowing whence it came.
