OUR WASHINGTON LETTEE
i Diplomatic Eegrilatiiasr-Colanel Pftlk.

Senator Edmunds.
Cor. of the Watchman.
Washington, April 13, 1S91. Mr.
Harrison is apprtreutry not at all .put
out by the Italian war rumors which
are apraiQ nvins tnicK ana ia3r,. 11 ne
ksows any thing about the Italian gev-
vernment having notifiad Mr. Blaine
that if he .did not immediately satis
factorily anwer its last dispatch it
would break oil all diplomatic regula-
tions ana lumma ny aisnnss our min
isters from Home, as the cable aaysthe
Italian newspapers have pastively
stated for several days past-, lie keeps it
well hid from those who see him.
Ho is devoting his time to putting
tmgs in shape for hit four or five
weeks absence, which will begin to-
morrw, ana wnicn t .course, wouia
not begin at all if he had any idea now
or serious ruptures with Italy. It is
through the long pending; and more or
'ess troublesome question of a successor
to U. S. Treasurer Huston has been at
last solved by Mr. E. N. Nedecker, of
Indiana, having agreed to accept th
office, and the official announcement is
Excepted to-day or to-morrow.
Mr. Blaine seems luchned to lose hi
temper because of thera.inncrin whieh
the press has discussed ami .disposed of
matter. V hen assed tor information
as to whether his answer to thn last
dispatch had been sent he petulantly
repuea: me newspapers rrom tne
I - I 11X11 t II
Lteginning knew more about this affair
than I have and have lonj ago settled
it to suit them, what is the sons? of
coming to me for information r" That
the 'answer to that last dispatch' was
written and read 'to the cabinet last
week is certain, but whether it
has yet been sent nly the President
and members of the cabinet know, and
they will not tell.
It is believed by unprejudiced ob
servers that th administration and the
Canadian authorities are both using the
reciprocity question for political ad
vantages in the respective countries,
and it would be dilhcult to hnd a mau
here, who has given the present con
dition of-things any serious study who
believes that auy Canadian reciprocity
treaty will ba negotiated by thepres
ent administration, notwithstanding
the appointment by Mr. Blaiiie of
next October as the time to hear
the Canadian propositions. The Mc-
Kinley tariff law hits Canadian inUr
ests hard, and it was intended to do
that every thing. There is a well de
nnea movement, aitnougn not yc an
pen one, to compel Canada to ask for
annexation, or take the commercial
consequences. Trade reciprocity would
intertere with this scheme, therefore
there will be no reciprocity.
So great an impression did CoJ. L. L.
Polk, president of the National Farm
ers Alliance, make upon the local
All 1 1
Citizens Alliance by a speech delivered
here last week, defining the objects and
aims of the former organization, that
it has ba determined to print a million
copies, of it for general distribution.
Although Colonel i-olk has spent a
great deal of time in Washington for
several years past, this was the first
time he had made a public speech here,
and many people were surprised to dis
i . i t i
covered that ne was an orator oi no
mean ability. ..
i y-i 11 1 i
senator uuuom, wno is now nere, is
so jubilant over the recent ejections
in his State that he can scarcely talk
about anything else, and his friends
laughingly say that Ue has again ele
vatedhis presidential lightning rod,
which was taken down for reparis last
fall.
n i n l 1 i
senator jamnnas denies most in
dignantly that his resignation was the
result of a bargain to transfer Secre

that Secretary Proctor did iiot know
of the resignation until it was made
public. All of which is doubtless
strictlytrue, and yet it is generally be
lieved hre that the name of the next
Senator from Vermont will be Proc
tor.
Soma surprise was created here by
the stand that Secretary Tracy has

tion of the District Alliance at States
rille on April 21st. County business
agent submitted his quarterly report
which on motion was adopted.
The following resolution was intro
duced and adopted:
W hereas, We have read an article
in the Statesville Landmark of March
19th, in which the following occurs:
lCol. Polk gave it out that there were
4,000,000 people belonging to the la
bor organizations in this country who
will not vote for Mr. Cleveland next
year if he is nominated." The edito
rial goes on to sav that the writer
knows the people of North Carolina
and if CoU Polk stands on one side and
says "this way," and Mr. Cleveland
stands on the other , and savs "this
way," that four-fifths of them will en
roll under the Cleveland banner. There
fore
Resolved. That we, the members of
Iredell County Alliance, deprecate
such utterances, and believe it is doac
for the purpose orcausing dissatisfac
tion and to reflpct upon the honor, in
telligence and leyaltv of our members.
vve believe that our members in North
Carolina and throughout the Union
are in earnest for reform, aad that no
man is of more importance than one
of our great principles.
Resolved 2, That Iredell County Al
liance is in favor of such public officers
only as favor the demands of the Oca-
la platform, and will not beud the Al-
llance platform to suit the views of
any man in either party, they must
come to U3.
Bro. M. W. White offered the fol
lowing resolution which was unani
mously adopted:
Whereas, A lecturer has been ap
pointed for the 7th Congressional dis
trict, and a legislative council sooa to
be organized and all the counties com
posing the district that havjj been ask
ed to, have endorsed The Carolina
Watchman as the official organ of

How to Cook Husbands.

Larson has given the following recipe I
for cooking husbands, which we hope
all whp have an occasion to use may
nna successful:
A good many husbands are utterly
spox.ed by mismanagement. Some
women go about as if their husbands
were bladders, and blow them nn: oth-

cannot be supposed that any husband
will be tender and good, managed in
in this way. but thev ara .rp.alU rlli-

ting your husband you should not be

cook him. A preserving kettle of the
very finest porcelain is best, but if you
hav nothing but an earthernware

nicely washed and mended, with the I
required number of buttons and strings I
nicely sewed on. Tie hira in the ket-

et him as near this as seems to agree
with him. If he sputters and fizzes,
do not be anxious; some husbands do
this until they are quite done. Add a
little sugar in the form of what con
fectioners call kisses, but no vinegar
or pepper on any account. A little
spice improves them, but It must be
used with judgement. Do not stick
any sharp instrument into him to see
if he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently; watch the while lest he lie
too flat and close to the kettle, and so
became useless. You cannot fail to
tell wlum he is dene. If thus treated
you will find him very digestible,
agreeing very nicely with you and the
children, and he will keep as "long as
you want, unless you become careless
-hd set him in too cool a place." .
A Bible Clock,
Correspondence ot the Watchman.
Glasgow, Scotland, March, 25. 1891.
I wonder if auy of your children
know what a bible clock i. I mean
to tell you how to make one; also
about the first one which wa made.
The Rev. Mr. Robertson, of Edinburg,
a man very fond of little boy and

girls, was in tne naoit or visiting tne
siek children's hospital near his home.
The little folks in this house of suffer
ing used to eagerly await his coming,
and when well enough would be placed
near the window to watch his approach.
One day; when he called a little fel

You could

method to secure. themselves against

right and left in the past
W hope this organization will not
end in the mere establishment of ex-
changes for selling produce and pur-
chasing the necessaries of life for the
farmers. Thww thincra m n lr fha I
- . aw 1
oegining oi tne retorms whicli are
needed. It is one great stepnn the
right direction to get this much, and if
wecan get no more we may congratu-
each other on accomplishing this much.
But let us get more.
Farmers constitute a vast majority
of the citizens in our country and they
should. have the corresDondinc ma-
ioritr in all the responsible positions in
legislation throughout the land. From
the presideat of the United -States to
the Governor representatives in our
State Legislature the farmers should be
in the majority. It is the height of
folly say. to take no organized action
about who shall make or execute our I
iaw?. t e wannarmers ana ineinenas
of agriculture wherever we can get
them, and we must have farmers at the
head of political affairs if we should
have them we wish them,
It is very well known that laws are of
such an intricate nature now that verv
few can understand them and the way
is hard to find out. The vast machinery I
of the law is more complicated than
steam engines or electrical motors
and why ? Because oar rulrs have
been to a very great extent lawyers
men who have no sympathy with far-
raers, and whose interest consisting in I
promoting ieuas instead or cultivating
place; who grow fat upon laws which
ha e been fashioned specially to ac
complish tbfi end.
We want plain, hard common-sense
farmers in. the majority, that laws may
be made plain and justice may be had
without the necessity of quibbles and
technicalities, and without the change
or escape of crimi'ials through the
ira nwion of a word or the neglect of
a formality.
Most of all we want farmers in the
majority in State and United "States
legislative halls, that farmers may have
their just share of benefits coming
from laws which bear upon"farming
interests. We should have the Presi
dent, Governors and legislators, to the
extent necessarv to secure these riehts 1
which are now torn from us to build'
up millionaire manufacturers, corpor
ations and monopolies generally as well
as the vast truths which openly defy
the right in their greed after the far
mers' toil-earned dollars.
Let the organizing go, farther then,
than selling of produce and the buying
of a few articles for the house and farm.
Let it resolve, not for the spirit of
Democrat or Republican, but in earnest
co-operation to place farmers to rule
over us, to make and execute the laws
upon which depend all our welfare and
happiness. Maryland Farmer.
