In a short time there w ill be abso
lute certainty about the future of the
Concord fcouthern ran row.
No. 12 has subscribed hor $75,000,
and the other townships speak their
wishes in August.
We do not stop long enough to
argue the importance of this road to
Concord, Cabarrus county and to all
the counties in particular through
which it will run. This any can
Bee and know, by a little thought.
Recently this writer had the
pleasure of a day or so in a town
that has six railroads the town is
not more than 1C00 inhabitants
ahead of Concord and it's surround
ed by a country that is not as fer
tilo by -10 per cont. as is this coun
ty. Even at this season, the town
is alive with business and the coun
try people are contented and pros
perous; we were told this, besides a
20 miles drive through the country
and mingling with the bone and
sinew of the land convinced us that
they were a happy people.
The more railroads we have the
better.
We do not make figure? now, but
the direct improvements, advantages
and resources given us by another
road, taxation will not be felt.
The Standard hopes that the
townships now bidding for the road
will bid to hit we need more in
ternal improvement and we believe
the people demand it.
ONE IS SOT TIIEOTIIEK.
Some people seem to be unable to
observe any discrimination made
by this paper between the Alliance
and the Thirelj-arty. A few words of
explanation may throw a little light
on the subject. As a n on -political or-,
der or organization we lure never
had a harsh word for the Alliance.
If the farmers saw fit to organize
for their protection and their inter
est it was none of our business, and
we have not tried to make it s ich.
But when it comes to the Third
party (which is an unfortunate
thing for the Alliance since its
leaders have dragged the thing to
its door and left it there) it is quite
another thing. The Alliance swears
by it3 constitution to work for need
ed reforms in a strictly nonpartisan
way. The Third party threatens to
overthrow the home government and
white supremacy in the South; it
threatens the humiliation of a force
bill, which will give the liepublis
can party, our enemy, an eternal
lease on power, and for these reas
ons we have fought it. But in it
all we have never meant a harmful
word for the Farmer's Alliance as
a nonpartisan, nonpolitical order.
ROT AFK.II OF AXSIAMAS' FATE J
"Fellow citizens, Grover Clevei
land is endorsed by and endo ses
Northeastern Democrats in the
House ha is one of their number.
Rather than see national banks
abolished, free coinage of silver or
any other financial legislation, unless
in the interest of Wall street, he
would see every Aulo-Saxou iu the
South wearing balls and chains or
even scorching in hell. His record
all points that way. So far as has
been made public he is the first and
only President who entertained ne
groes in the White House. Fred
Douglass and his familj are the
ones. More than that, he was sel
dom "at home" when Southern peo
pie called to see him. He was only
President to Wall street and ex-Uns
ion soldiers, for whom he boasted
that he signed more pension bill3
than any other President."
The above is clipped from the
Salisbury Watchman, a papr tha
is so lost to truth that it can make
such preposterous statements with
out even blushing. The editor that
writeB such wholesale untruths is
not afraid of the fate of Annanias.
He is a stranger to all the laws of
decency, and has met the just con
demnation of a sensible public and
in his desperation pens things that
everybody knows is a lie and the
editor knows is a lie. There should
be a law to bridle the tongue of a
man who makes a business of mig
representing people and issues, as
the editor does in the above clips
ping from the Watchman, as there is
to punish a man for slander, or bold
ly and knowingly swearing a lie in
court The writer of that, slander
deserves, and, unless he changes,
will certainly get to wear a "ball
and chain," and a "scorching in
hell."
WHAT WAK UFA ICO
The id i tor, on his recent trip for
recuperation, overheard a conversa
tion on a train in Virginia that
thro vs some liht on tiie political
situation in that state. One gen
tleman, who claimed citizenship in
Gen. Field's countv, said: "(Jen
Field will not get fifteen votes in his
own county out of tlie Democratic
list. Understand me I don't mean
to say that Gen. Field is not re
spected by his fellow countrymen
and that a large majority of thoai
are in sympathy with the demands
for reform, yet they can see no hopes
in persuing that course and they
have gotten enough experience in
troubles by splits, besides they cm
not sec their way clear to jeopardize
a party that has given them what
enjoyments they have and thus in
courage the party which is the an
thor of their present hardships."
The same gentleman said that he
did not believe that the Democrats
would lose 1000 votes in the coming
election, while another was positive
that Gen. Weaver would carry the
State, because he thought the lies
publicans woul 1 support the Third
Party.
lie the case as it may, we do not
think that the Third Party h::s de
veloped as much strength of minis
bers and influence iu Virginia as it
has in North Carolina.
TO TUT. EAIIOKIXi JiATV.
Has it ever occurred to o;i that
it takes twenty six hundred and for
ty cross ties to lav eich mile of rail
road, and that in addition to the ties
the average cost of grading a mil
of railroad is in excess of four thous
and dollars? If you will take the
trouble to estimate- the number of
miles cf tract which the Concord
Southern Euilroad will have in your
township, provided it is built, and
multiply it by five thousand, you
will get a reasonable estimate cf
the money, which will be expended
in your township for labor. Then
again, if you will thiuk of the great
number of bridges, depot?, and sec
tion houses that will bo built you
will find that many thousand lol
lars will be expended along the
lines for lumber, '.carpenters, and in
other ways, which, which vou are
likely tooverlook and uinh revalue.
The building of the Concord
Southern means employing labor at
once. It is an effort to get more
money in the country, as not one e f
its securities will be likely to be
sold along the line unless some one
purchases some of them, and places
in circulation money which is now
locked up, and doing no one any
good; then too, after the Railroad is
built, men who labor will get per
manent employment in running the
trains, inkeeping the railreadbed
in order, and as depot agents, and
station hands.
This enterprise will not take any
money out of the country, but will
be the mean3 of bringing more
money into the country, and in
stead of it making less labor along
the lints, it will open a new field for
the laboring man, at the same time
giving to you an opportunity to bet
ter your condition in life, and en
able you to furnish a betttr support
yourself and family.

There never w.s a move less justi 1
fi.tb'e thin the Third party perform -
anee iu this Slate. No people, have
ever had a bettor local government
than th.it, which the I Vineerath:
people have given 1o the State ol
North Carolina fr twenty years.
Kvt a tingle cans'? for complaint ix
i-ts. Nor is it ft range for the
Democratic pasty. It has hi n
economical, though progressive.
No one lias ever made any substan
tial complaint of its course. It hat
been wise, prudent i.d popular.
A3 we recently said the only blot on
its record is the public print i
scandal ef the last Legislature, and
that body was different in feme in
spects from other assemblies If
was an Al dance body, though its
members were Democrats.
Nationally, the Democratic party
has been the iriend of the people
and of the Southern people esio
cially. It has checked pei'doi... :;s
far as it coulel. !t has striven to
reform the tariff. It has favored
those financial measures which c"o
beneficial to the people. All of
this wild opposition to the Demo
crat ic party is a rank c'-;y.c.
There is no substantial founda
tion for it. Those who have .tirred
the people up to it are without,
reason, and th y have perverted 'he
ititvliigei.ee of those who follow
them. All of this ourrht to h.tvc
"been met three ve.-irs --.- if ha ir.

it is lv a strouir presentation of the
truth. L.-t there be no more trillinr
about it. Kidlculous and absurd
propositions ought to he In hi up
the people in their proper light.

Henderson, N. C, July -JO. Some
days ago I saw it stated that Col
Polk told Dr. J M Haves, of Wash
ington, D. C, that he opposed the
government ownership of railroads.
I wrote to Dr. IIaye3. Pelow you
will find his reply. I send vou a
copy of his letter. I hope to carry
the original around the eam-.ai"u.
The Third party people will have
to repudiate Col. Polk's opinion or
they will have to do as he did, turn
their backs noon that nlank in
their platform, which is the heart of
the movement. Without the'heart"
it must else. W. li. IIkn-ky.

My Dear Sir and Friend : In re
ply to your iuq'.iry as to what the
late Co!. L L Polk said t j me in
regard to his views osi the govern
ment ownership cf railroads, I have
to say that in the early part cf his
last sickness, at least ten days be
fore his severe illness, he wa3 dis
cussing the political situation with
a prominent North Carolina gentle
man (lion. A II A Williams) and
myself, and in the course of his con
versation, he made use of this lan
guage, or language to thi3 effect:
"I have given the subject of the
government ownership or railroad
and tele ,raph lines a great deal of
thought, and I have determined to
use every bit of the inlluence which
I have again3t the adoption of any
such plank in the Omaha platform
I am pretty sure that 1 will be able
to succeed in the attempt."
lie spoke very canie-slly and seem
ei coin i need that his conclusions
were wtllfjr.nded in the matter. On
another oecision he said to mo
,'The country ii not ready for such
a radical change as the one coidem
phueel in conmctloii with the rail
roads and telegraph lines; the gov
ernment ownership of telegraph
lines ii perhaps more feasible than
that of railroads; but the people are
not rer.dy for even that now, and
perhaps will not b.-for a long time."
Col. Polk talke 1 - cry freely with
me before his fa a! iihess about this
matter, and t-p.i!;e ;vit'j great delib
eration ami e in;-, t... sf, an 1 I know
mat liis min i v. as .:--.!y made upcon
cerning it, ai d ' a', I a 1 he
Omaha, he wcuhi h-iva thrown his
whole energy inU, e ti'iueiuj; other
of his party of the c-.'-n ctness of
hisview3.
Thanking you for par ery kind
expressijns of regard for me person
ally and professionally, ,.!! of which
are more than recivroa ed. I have
the honor to be,
Youf3 very truly,
