The Olneyville Times has discarded the
old blanket sheet, and its bright editorial
paragraphs, with other news, is now en-
ment-W ebster Times,
The Times Of Olneyville is now an
eight page paper instead of four. The
change is an improvement, and it ought
to be appreciated by the Olneyyilleites.-

Our friends of the Olneyville (R. I)
Times have changed from folio to quartO
form, similar to the Independent. The
improvement is very noticeable Ipswich

the popular eight-page form this week.
Always bright and newsy, it looks dOubiy
so in its new form. We congratulate

Providence Opera House.

Spiritualists throughout the Eastern
degree during the past three or four weeks,
by an expose of their beliefs and manifes-
tations Of their madiums, given by Mr..
Kellar in the Philadelphia Times. They
declare that Magician Kellar is a medium
of the most pronounced power, but for
some reason he is afraid to admit the fact.
Kellar only smiles at such talk, but con-
tinues to produce materializations and
other almost supernatural phenomena,
entirely beyond the comprehension Of
their experts. During his engagement
in this city he will give the wonderful
"Simla Seance" and the "Cassadega Pro-
paganda, f" in which the press claims he
makes"monkeys Of the spiritualists." Kel-
lar will begin his engagement of three
nights and one matinee at the Providence
Opera House, Easter Monday, April nth.
Frank Daniels is coming to Providence'
with his new opera, "The Idols Eye"
He will be at the Providence Opera
House next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day. There are a few attractions in a
musical way, the announced coming Of
which may be made with certainty of
its giving rise to a feeling of pleasurabIe
enjoyment to come. One Of these is Mr..
Daniels and the admirable organization
with which he is always surrounded.
With such an attraction it is not necessary
to say that the production will be a fine
one, or the company well selected, for il
is known that its manager would not allow
it to appear without all these elements
being incorporated therein. The manner
in which this was demonstrated last sea
son with the The Wizard Of the Nile"
gives earnest Of equally satisfactory treat
ment with its successor. The scenery
and costumes are elaborate, as is sug-
gested by the locale of the opera. The
score is said to TEEN with pleasing melo-
dies and topical songs.

To the voters of Johnston, who
claim that the town is controlled by
political ring, and that it is next
to impossible to rid the town of ring
control, the TINES would like to ask
this question; Has any honest, in
telligent and organized effort ever
been made by what may be consid-
cred the best citizens, to take the
conduct of affairs into their own
hands and run the town as it should
be?

THERE is one man in this country
Of whom the American people are
tired, sick and disgusted. We refer
to Mark a. Hanna Of Ohio, leaving
off the honorable. This political pro-
motor in his short career in public
life has achieved an unenviable repu-
tatiOn that has taken other political
bosses years to attain. His unblush-
ing manipulation Of the St. Louis
convention, his wholesale use of
money in the last election, and his
own disgraceful campaign for United
States senator from Ohio, have shown
conclusively that his ideas of politics
and craftsmanship were obtained
from the wheat pit and the stock
exchange. Finally he has given the
impression to the American people,
it can never be effaced, that the
president whom he elected wears his
collar, and that he uses him in a
manner that suits his selfish purposes
and ends.

rescue. Shall we repulse these friends
now in order to Conciliate gold Demo
cratsq"
On May 26sh the North Carolina De
mocracy proved it's insincerity and uG.
faithfulness, it's lack of loyalty TO the
principles OF Bryan, by answering
without a dissenting voice, "YesI"
In the same letter Mr.. Bryan said:
"If our forces are to fight each other
rather than the common enemy, let
not the blame rest upon those who are
devoted to Democracy as defined in the
Chicago platform"
In this State the blame rests upon
the so called Democratic party which
has returned to (t it ever left) it's wal
lowing in the miro.
Now the place for the Bryan Demo
crat is in the Populist party. Mr..
Bryan asked silver men to CO operate.
The Populist party proved it's charity
and liberality OF opinion by acting
upon his suggestion. The Democratic
party refused to do go. Honestly, now,
where do you belong if you are really
an advocate of Bryan's principles9

"a SMRLL OF BIRTHSTONE AND
WALL STREET."

No better words are needed to de
scribe the State Democratic Oonven,
ton, which met in this city last week,
than the words of that true Democrat,
z b Vance. No stronger proof of the
fact that the same old Cleveland gold
bug gang still controls the Democratic
party in this State is needed than the
actions of this convention.
They cheered the name of Bryan but
opposed the principles and plans of
Bryan.
They cheered the name of Vance,
but they r the same men that con.
demned Vance for fighting for the
people, and they have in reality the
same principles they then had.
Our predictions have been verified.
The old machine still runs the party in
this State and we are and have been
opposed to fusion with them. They
are opposed to reform and will accept
no proposition that binds them to prin
CiOle.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY e..


Pierpont Morgan seems TO have the
drop at Washington. He and his lieu
tenants seems to control i'm the matter
OF appointments OF Federal judges,
and in the matter of the transporta
ton of troops throughout the South and
also in gobbling subsidies for carrying
the mails.
It was announced that the 1st Rsgi-
ment of North Carolina Volunteers
would leave here Friday, the Goth Of
May, that the three Battalions Of the
Regiment would go by the different
lines running through the State: the
A. O. L., the 8. A. L. and the Southern
Railway-by each line one Battalion.
Orders were issued accordingly and
the boys got ready. When moving
time came, however, there was an un
expected 'halt" called, and not until
Sunday q. m. did the regiment move.
Rumors we're plentiful that the hand
of the Southern Railway was in it,
and when the troops did start the
Southern Railway got the whole pone;
and for the moving of less than 1000
men to Jacksonville, Fla, from Raj
eigh, N. O., we r told by ''Mr. Nor
gan's organ down in Raleigh, the com.
pany gets the snug little morsel of
GA 600, which is about $15 per each
man.
This is the great Southern Railway,
which has North Carolina by the
throat; which has the c ontract to car
~ the Southern mails; which has an
enormous influence in the appointing
Federal ldges, and so much in6u'
ence in the election OF Congressman
and Senators from the Southern States,
and which, has ex 9rcised so much power
in this State in electing, and manipu.
lating governors and Legislators in the
past, and which has secured an order
from a United States Court forever
enjoinipg the Governor against open
ing his mouth in the interest of the PEG,
pie of the State against this giant &C.
topus and swallower of the profits Of
agriculture IN North Carolina.
This ia the Southern Railway Com
pany which has on the market, &C.
cording to records of the New York
Stock Exchange, $119, 900, 900 Of
stock, worth 8 cents on the
dollar: &57 800, 400 worth 80 cents
on the dollar and 500 500, 900 of bonds
at SO cents on the dollar, making in all
stocks and bonds listed at 1904. 252, AGO,
the market price of which is $51. 1884,.
16O-in round numbers % cents on the
dollar. And it is plain that for every
dollar actually invested they tax the
people who p~atroniz them on four.
If the people will continue to sub
NIT to this, why, then let the people
continue to suffer the consequences, for
they cannot accuse US of not warning
them Of the danger.

WE A

We wish to thank the Hickory
Times Mercury for calling our atten,
tion to a mistake in our report of the
recent PopulIst State Convention. Per
haps THE FARMER representative was
not wide awake when the vote was
taken. The Mercury says:
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER seems
very much pleased with the result of
the recent Populist State Convention.
It says the resolutions passed by a vote
of 676 to 285 In this, THE FARMER is
in error. Tnat was the vote taken on
Col. SINNERS substitute for the resolu
tions, which was lost. Then Mr.. Skin.
ner withdrew his substitute and moved
to pass the resolutions by reclamation,
which 20 done with only one voting
no, and he did not mean it."

SAY 1T AGAIN. BRO. PEARSON

Editor Pearson, of the Morganton
Farmers Friend, has made q strong
fight against monopoly and for free
silver. We admire his fight, and rather
believe that he has too much manhood
to remain with a party that ''panders
to Clevelandism and goldbuggeryG" In
the last issue Of his paper he says some
good things in an editorial entitled
The Approaching State Convention, "
and we hope he. has manhood enough
to say the same thing next week. He
said:
"As we have heretofore pointed out
on more than one occasion if the State
is not carried for the white metal the
fault will lie at the door Of the Democ
racy. The convention which meets
to morrow will settle the question.
Argument, appeal, entreaty has been
exhausted by the small portion Of the
State press, which believes the election
lost in advance by pandering to Cleve-
Iandism and goldbuggery."

A TIP TO CAPITAL.

The great fight now on is between
labor and capital. The State Demo
cratic platform does not contain the
world labor, but it does intimate pretty
strongly and capital is not getting all it
deserves in this State. What do you
think of that laborersG Are the rail
road presidents, the bondholders, and
moneyed men in general treated worse
than youG Bnt this plank in the Dem
ocratic platform is just a hint" to cap
ital, and capital is quick to take hints.
The Southern Railway, for instance. is
capital" 1t, we are told, gave $780,
600 to the gold standard campaign
fund to defeat Bryan in 1896. Now
that North Carolina Democrats rel sct
Bsyan's suggestions and are fighting
under the same old gang that led them
to victory under the gold banner, the
Southern Railroad will doubtless go
Democratic. and give literally to the
campaign fund.

WAR RIVE NUE..

The war revenue bill, as reported to
the Senate. provides for coming the
silver ''seigniorage," $49, OOO, 900 into
silver dollars. the issue Of $3.50, 900 600
greenbacks, Treasury certificates to
the extent Of $50, 600, 600 before any
bonds shall be issued. Then $3O0,OOO,-
600 of 8 per cent. bonds in denomina-
lions of $25. redeemable in coin may
be issued.
IL is needless to say that those who
have a corner on gold are fighting this
proposition, and bringing all their in
huence to bear to defeat it. And it is
stated that they are claiming only one
majority in the Senate in their favor.
When it comes to a test vote, which
one, il either, of our Senators will be
found in line with the gold powerG
Would ever such a measure have
been formulated and seriously pre-
sented by a Senate committee had it
not been for the educational influence
Of the Farmers AllianceG Why should
not every man in America who is
eligible rally to the Alliance standard,
and stand together as a unit for our
demands, when they see and know the
power for good such unity would BET

favor fair and just election laws"
Brevity is the soul of it. We pre-
sumo that it means "a fair and just
election law" for the Democrats. That
party has never been known to oppose
a fair and just election that would beat
the other fellow, no matter how many
votes he might muster. Dewey's gun

DEMOCRATS

More than one half of those lay mem
bers of the Democratic party with
whom we have talked regarding the
action of their recent State Convention
say.they are displeased, while two-1fths
announce their intention of joining the
Populist party. One of these men pre-
diets that it each party makes a straight
fight, the Democrats will poll 80, 900
votes and the remainder of the party
will ,in the Populists. We have faith
Ia the rank and file OF the Democratic
party. but no faith in the machine
which controlled their recent State
Convention. We have opposed fusion
with the party because we knew this

POINT 1T OUT.

The Greensboro Telegram quotes
from our editorial on the Populist plat
form and comments as follows:
For several weeks before the con-
vention met The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
violently opposed a part of the very
platform which the convention adopted
and which it now terms the best plat
form ever put forth by any party in
this State While The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER has been somewhat of a bowler
in the past it has been far and away
the best and most scrupulous Populist
paper in the State. OF course it was
not incumbent on The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER to bolt it's party because it's
own individual opinion did not prevail.
bat it need not have stopped to lick the
hand that smote it. To buy harmony
in that fashion is to pay rather highly
for it. Silence would have been inf
nitely more becoming"
We have carefully read the platform
to which the Telegram refers and can
not find in it a single plank which we
have ever opposed. We shall be glad
to have the Telegram point out any
such plank. Stopped to lick the hand
that smote i,l' Not us. But for 6
genuine circus of this kind, watch

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS

There was quite a gathering Of the

came from all parts Of the State. They
assembled in this city in answer to a
call for q State Democratic Convention.
They called themselves Democrats,
but it was plainly evident that Dsmoc.
racy was not there. Men who claimed
to be delegates, and who voted loud in
the convention, declared openly, with
oaths, and gloated over it, that they
had come instructed, but would not
carry out their instructions On the
trains coming in, on the streets of
Raleigh after their arrival, and every
where groups were gathered talking,
but the loudest and most determined
takers we're Col. A. B. Andrews
brigade of railroad attorneys. It was
evident at the start that the instructed
were in a large majority.
They had come swearing that the
reformers of this State must get to-
gether, so instructed, and so determ-
med to vote in the convention. But
alas for the reform element, the people:
those who had been brave enough attse
primary and the county convention to
declare their convic ions and instruct
their delegates, didn't know when they
intrusted their interest to lawyer dele
