Republicans Threaten Lynchings in the
Event Of Losing the Election.
LONDON, KY, Sept, g. At a conven
ton held yesterday at Mt. Vernon by
Republicans to nominate a State Sen
ator, Goebel was attacked mos5 bitter
ly. His election bill was pronounced
infamous. Charles Finley, of Whitley
county, declared that it was the pur
pose OF the State Democrats and Goe-
bel to steal the next election, and il
this is done the day after the election
there will be three Goebelites less in
Whitley county, for they would be
lynched. O,her delegates declared that
this would happen in every county of
the district. This refers to the three
election commissioners that the Goe-
bel bill places in each county. They
decide the polling figures, and from
their decision there ia no appeal.

The Radical Remedy Suggested by a
Baltimore Grand Jury
BALTIMORE. Md, Sept 8-The grand
jury for the May term, upon being dis
charged to day by Judge Dobler, in
the Criminal Court, made the follow
ing suggestion in its report:
The punishment of death, whether
jldicially or illegally carried out,
would be considered the most effective
punishment for rape which could be
inflicted; it having failed, no Wever, in
its results, we would suggest castration
and imprisonment in all cases of con,
viction instead OF hanging.
This punishment, urquestionably,
will prevent the criminal from again
committing this crime, and he will be
come q marked object and a living
warning, which we think will cause
others of the same brutal propensities
to hesitate before they give way to
tbs ir passions"

GOLD STANDARD FOR lNr1A.
1t is Decided TO Make Cold the LegaI
Tender Immediately.

SIMLA. Sept. AT to-day's session
of the India Council, Mr.. Clinton
DWakius, the financial member, intro,
duced the Currency bill. He said that
il had been decided to make gold the
legal tender Immediately, in the con
viction that no other measure would
save India from diJastrous embarrass
ment end fresh taxation.
The Government, he continued, was
confident of the wisdom of this policy.
While giving rupees for gold, the Gov
eminent would accept no obligation to
exchange gold for rupees.
The Government, " Mr.. Dwakins de
clared, ''does not desire to anything
hostile to silver, in which the inhabi
tants of India largely invest their sav.
ings. It believes that the rupee cur
rency will expand in response to trade
demands, as the exchange of rupees
for gold should impart elasticity to the
currency"

audience of Duplin county people at
Goodson's mill. The Alliance gave
their annual picnic at that place. The
farmers, their wives and sons and

The Alliance is by no means dead in

that the drummers and hotel people

HALIFAX COUNTY MEETING.

correspondence of the Progressive Farmer.
have been thinking ever since our
county meeting Of writing to The Pro
gressive Farmer, but have been too
busy with tobacco curing, and besides
l don't understand newspaper writing
and what I do know I reckon I hate
to express on paper wo=se than any
body living. I don't know whether it
is laziness OF what, but I don't like to
write. (Ehey ought not to have made
me Secretary, but they did, and from
the resolution passed at the State
meeting I suppose I must say some
thing.
Our county meeting was held with
BrinkleyvilIe Sub. on the second
Thursday in July, with only two Subs.
represented-Oarter's School House
and Brinkleyville. We certainly ex,
pected Essex, but it was not repre-
sented. It seems as if Mullens have
quit US, but we do hope they will come
again. Bro. Simmons, what is the
matters
The folio wing officers we're elected:
W. E Bowens, President; J. r. Sher.
rim, VIce-President; W. M. Martin,
Secretary. Treasurer; R. A. Horner,
Lecturer. Bro, J. R. Sherrin was
elected delegate to the State meeting,
with w. E Bowers alternate; but we
are sorry to see that neither attended;
know something must have prevented.
We had real good speec hes at our
meeting, and not only speeches, but g.
good dinner.
And speaking of gun 6ints reminds
me of shooting, so will say right here
to county brethren that at ourlast
Sub. meeting I was requested to write
through The Progressive Farmer to
you all, that at our next county meet
ing, which will be held at Brinkley-
Vile, we all go and carry dinner and
invite some speaker to make a talk,
not only to as, but the public as we'll.
Think il we start in time we may get
DR.. Seawell. (Now, Bro. Simmons,
you and Bro. White get up a crowd
and come; we won't ask you to bring
dinner; we will feed you just to have
your lovely presence).
I think if there ever was q time that
we need to he organized, nov is the
time. I have b6en in the Alliance since
it's organic alton and I can say that we
have more need of the Allan CO to day
than we ever had. And now, brethren
Of old Halifax, those that are in the
Alliance and those that are not, let US
get together the second Thursday in
O3tober and have a grand old time.
Now what say you9 am glad to see,
Mr.. Editor, that you are taking so
much interest in the Alliance cause;
think that every Allianceman ought
to feel proud of the editorial manage
ment Of our organ and do all in his
power to build up the only farmers
paper in the State,
Now, Mr. Editor, I am going to try
and close, but hardly know how. I
wanted to say some more, but am
afraid you won't but it in the paper,
and in fact I hardly know what I have
eaid because l am curing tobacco, and
pushing up fires and writing at odd
moments.

A SUMMING UP OF THR PHILIP.
PINE CAMPAIGN TO DATE.

We are in the Philippines as a result
Of meeting imperious and unavoidable
moral responsibilities to ourselves, to
the natives, and to the world, result
ing from the war with Spain, and we
cannot retreat from them without
shame, dishonor, and disgrace to us as
a great nation and es a Christian, civ
ilizing people-without reference to
material opportunities in the Pacific
and the impending possibility that if
we shiEk our responsibilities we will
forsake our position as a permanent
first class power in the Pacific and
come trailing along behind Great
B :itain, Russia, Japan and Germany.
There never was a time since May 1,
1898, when our naval Or military forces
could have abandoned Manila, and
Admiral Dewey will confirm this when
he returns.
The immediate occasion of the pres
ent conflict can be logically attributed
to the Filipinos and not to ourselves.
The fighting was begun and has been
carried on under the most adverse
conditions of 8 3ason and climate which
characterize tropical countries. The
outbreak came at the end of the cool
season and at the beginning Of the ex-
cessively hot period When this hot
season was over it was Immediately fol-
lowed by the rainy months, which are
still running on and will not end until
November.
Despite these conditions the Ameri
can forces have not met with a single
decisive reverse from the beginning of
the campaign up to the present writ
ing, and have everywhere, and in all
expeditions, driven the natives before
them at will. The Filipino army,
pushed from "pillRr to post" has suf-
fered enormous Losses, is deprived Of
sources of fresh ammunition and sup
plies from the outside world, is de
moralized from an organized army in
to retreating isolated bands, is forced
to brutal tactics to keep the people in
line and the leaders from deserting to
the Americans, depending on the Hong
Kong junta to manufacture alleged re-
ports from Aguinaldo favorable to the
Flipinos-wbich are too often and too
much believed in AmericR-and can
not possibly hold out as an integral
force after the rains are over.
Our forces now hold all the most i'm
portaut points in the Philippines.
Area does not decide the question Of
present strength and influence. The
best and most important section of
Luz0n is rapidly coming under our
control. Already our. sway, extended
under adverse conditions, reaches from
linus in the south to Angeles in the
north, a distance of nearly seventy
five mil S. and from Manila southeast
to Calamba, on Laguna de Bay, about
twenty-five miles, the very heart of
the island. We not only have Manila.

INSPECTION OF EXCURSION STEAMERS.

There much favorable comment yesterday
on the order which has Just been given out by the
Steamboat Inspection Service at Washington deal
ing with the overcrowding OF passenger steamers.
The order provides that during the coming
mer months the inspection shall be especially strict
and severe and that on Sundays an extra force of
inspectors shall look after the excursion steam
boats and see that they do not violate the law.
The wisdom Of the order Is conceded by every one.
and most OF all by those who from time TO time
are passengers excursion steamboats,. 1t is
recognized that there is great danger in allowing
more passengers on any steamboat than the boat
is authorized to carry by law. and 1t Is also well
known that the chance OF making a few more dol
lars at the expense Of putting more passengers on
steamboat than its capacity warrants has often
proved too great a temptation for a steamboat
company to resist. There were not few persons
who remarked yesterday that the inspectors would
do well to put down the Iron Steamboat Company
their list the first subject OF a thorough and
a. tinuous inepeCtOn.
