NATIONAL ALLIANCE.
fclSOI.VKTO BOYCOTT ANY AND AM,
NEWSPAI'EUS.
I A correspondent at Charlotte lias conio
Into possession of a circular issued from
he headquarters of tliu National Alliance
t Washington, 1. C, Juno 215, 1800,
instructing every sub-alliance to boycott
iny paper opposing Alliance methods,
'"tneuibers or offici i. Tho document is
'signed and approved by li. L. Polk, pres
ident N. V.- A. and I. U U. W. Macune,
Ichairmau executive committee; J. E
jTillinan, member executive committee;
lAloiiza Wardell, member of executive
committee.
The circular starts wit li saying : I Here
J seems to be uumislakable e ilt'iice of an
t ...... i i y
organized light to uu maue on our wiuer
by its enemies through such newspapers
as cau bo bought or influenced. It is
impossible for us to tell when a paper has
been bought or influenced, because those
things are generally done in secret. The
only way, therefore, that we have of judg
ing to which side a paper belongs is by
its utterances. There are paid corres
pondents who hatch up falsehoods on
the officers and the works of our Order,
and publish them in a number of small
or obscure papers at the same lime; then
all the papers that are in the ring copy
the article and express their hypocrisy
and malice by sighs of pretended light
cous indignation. These lies are iuva
riablv made from whole cloth, and have
in no case yet reported, had a shadow of
truth on which to rest. They have up to
date been hurled at the chairman of our
National Legislative Committee, ISroth-T
Maeuue, principally, with occasional at
tacks on our other officers, but we expect,
as our Order develops strength, and shows
that it is making an effective move in
behalf of the producers, that all engaged
in our behalf will be handled without
stiut. For these reasons this address has
been agreed upon.
Then comes a series of preambles and
resolutions, the main points of which are
in these two:
Resolved, That we earnestly recom
mend aud urge the Brotherhood through
out the country to note carefully and
coustautly the attitude of the press to
ward us, anl wheu any paper by vicious
und malicious misrepresentation of any
officer, of whatever rank, from tho low
est to the highest in our Order, or any
member of the fame, or by unfair
Anethods against our Order shall seek to
impair our strength or unity, that any
and all such papers shall no longer receive
in any mauner theeountenance or support
of members of our Order.
Resolved, further, That when any
ho ly of our Oidtr shall decide to with
draw or withhold its support from any
such paper, it should, by propel methods,
notify any and all advertisers who seek
their patronage through tho advertising
columns of said paper that they will
withdraw and withhold their patronage
from all h ich advertisers.

RAILROAD PROJECT.
Til K TERMINAI.TO HKCl'UK A LINK KKOM
MMU'OI.K TO THE WEST.
A special from Winston, X. C, of the
22ud inst., says :
It was stated on the best authority to
day that the Richmond Terminal Rail
road Company will secure a through
trunk lino from Norfolk via Raleigh and
Bristol to Cincinnati. Monday Colonel
A. B. Andrews, second vice-president of
the Bichtuoiid and Danville Company,
attended by Superintendent R. R Brid
get and Majors Wiley and Hinshaw,
prominent stockholders, weut up tho
Wilkesboro branch of the road to inspect.
All returned to-day save Vice President
Andrews, who weut by private convey
ance through the country to Bristol,
Tennessee, to select the route over which
to run a road between the two points.
Parties who returned inform your cor
respondent that it means a through trunk
lino from Norfolk" to Cincinnati. The
line will start from Norfolk over a road
already built to Tarboro, and be extended
to Sta ihope, Nash county. From thcro
it will go to Raleigh, where it connects
with the regular Richmond and Danville
line to Wilkesboro. From Wilkesboro
n roau is in course of construction to
Bristol, Tennessee, where it will connect
with the South Atlantic and Ohio road,
which is being pushed forward to Cincin
nati. The Richmond Terminal jointly
owns the load already built from Norfolk
to Stanhope, Nash county, with the At
lantic Coast Line. From tho latter place
the Richmond and Danville Company
will huilil thirty miles to Kaloigh, to con
nect with their line to Wilkesboro. The
latter place and Bristol being connected,
they will only need eonnec'ion between
Bristol and Cincinnati, and will get that
by the extension of the South Atlantic?
and Ohio road, which is owned by the
Richmond Terminal officials. I am in
formed by the same authority that the
extensions will be made immediately.
This will put the Pocahontas coalfields
ovii fifty miles and Raleigh forty miles
nearer Norfolk, and will bring the famous
Cranberry iron mines in proximity with
the world, and be a through liuo from
the finest Atlantic sea-port to the West.
All this comes from the officers of the
road, and cau be relied upon.
LECAL TECHNICALITIES.
The Supreme court has held that un
der the acts of 1887 and the other acts
of previous decisions abolishing techni
calities in indictments that the following
is a sufficient indictment for murder:
"The jurors for the State upon their
oaths present that A. B. in the county of
E, did feloniously and with malice afore
thought kill and murder C. D."
And that the following is a sufficient
indictment for manslaughter:
The iurors for 'the State upon their
oaths present that A. B., in the county
of E, did feloniously kill aud slay C. D.
The above contains all the averments
that ever have, at any time, been necessa
ry to bo proven, and the act has simply
stricken off the superfluous allegations
which it has never been necessary to bo
nroven. The above forms are substan
tially the same as those which have been
used in England for the lat thirty-live
years under a similar act. State Lliron

RAILROAD MATTERS.
THE SCOTLAND NECK DEMOCRAT Sl'EAKH
l'LAINU' BLTTULLY.
The railroad authorities of tho Wil
mington and Weldon railroad nro respon
sible for several very great wrongs that
the public is compelled to suffer.
In the tirst place, they ought to put
on some better car.) for the passenger
train. We felt ashamed of the road re
cently when we heard a lady remark that
she was in a smoking car. The passen
ger cars are not commensurate iu respec
tability with the travel that daily patron
izes them. The people of Eastern Caro
lina are as good and respectable people
as there are in the State, and they pay
the same fare that is paid on other loads
and are entitled to as good accommoda
tions as other people.
In tho second place, the passenger
trains are all the time behind. From
one to two hours behind the printed
schedule is the running schedule. There
was a whisper a few days ago that some
parties were ready to sue the company if
proper connection was not made at Wel
don. Persons go to the depot at Scot
laud Neck at 9;20 a. ui., tho advertised
schedule, and sit there waiting for the
train until nearly 12 o'clock, frequently.
Now, this is simply an outrage. It is
not in keeping with the usual courtesies
of one gentleman towards another. A
man's time is his money in this country
and no man has any right to make anoth-
cr wan tor nun u it can possioiy do
avoided. All this delay is caused by the
issenger train haviug to handle freights
A passenger train on a railroad line
nearly 100 miles long has no right to bo
fooling with freight cars. When men
get on a freight car to ride they tako the
chances for butter or for worse; but when
they get on a regular passenger train,
they always calculate for a straight ride
according to schedule. The authorities
ought to have more self-respect than to
have every man and woman that travels
over the line continually grumbling about
slow schedules.
And then freights are handled too care
essly. If things are smashed up much
onger as they have been of late the road
will be the loser. The train hands have
so much work to do that they can not do
it well.
Another daily freight train would cure
the whole thin":.

WHERE ASSASSINATION THRIVES-
AIT-ACBIN NORTH CAROLINA AVIIERE
EKJUT MYSTERIOUS MURDERS HAVE
BEEN COMMITTED WITHIN A 1'EW
.MONTH.
At u point three miles smith of Rcids
ville, N. C, known as Mizpah switch,
eight murders have been committed in
the last few months and all of the efforts
to capture the murderers have proved
futjle. A few weeks ago, says a Char
lotte dispatch, detectives from Richmond
were sent to the neighborhood, and after
three weeks' laborious wo.k they return
ed completely baffled, aud even while
they were in the vicinity two men fell
victims to the assassins.
liecently 1'eter Wiener was going
home on the railroad track, accompanied
by his son. i Wheu they reached the
switch two masked men, armed with pis
tols and knives, came out of the woods
on the left of the railroad. They accost
ed Mr. Witcher and his son and asked if
they had tiny money. They both replied
that they had none. The old man was
knocked down with a club. The boy
escaped aud r.an to his home, which was
a mile and a half away, and told his
brothers what had happened to their
father. Thev armed themselves and
went to the place where the two men
were last seen. On the railroad lay tl o
mangled body of their father. While
the son was gone to give the alarm
freight train parsed over the body, but
not until after the throat had been cut
iu several places.
Soon afterward Sydney Lee's body was
found near the track. Jonathan Rob-
bins, Jim Scales, Joe Turner, Sam Hous
ton and llufus Martin havo till bhared
the same fate, and yesterday and un
known man's body was found near thi
switch. The negroes say that they can
not live in the neighborhood, as tho place
is infested with demons. Pinkerton men
have been to the place, and the Rich
mond and Danville authorities have sent
expert men to the viciuity, but their
work has proven futile.
A short while ago the switch at this
place was turned, and a freight train was
completely wrecked, one man being kil
ed and several wounded. This brought
up ire detectives, but they left without
solving the mystery.
FOUR GREAT ALLIANCE PRINCIPLES
To judge the Alliance movement cor
rectly, and to form a just estimate ot the
influence it may be able to exert through
out the country, we should consider the
four great principles which form the
foundation upon which it has erected its
political edifice. To state them briefly, iu
their fiual analysis they are:
tirst: ihe overthrow ot sectiona
ism.
Second: A reduction of taxation
to
the needs of governuient economically
administered.
I turd: State and interstate control
and regulation of railroads.
Fourth: A sound, stable and flexible
currency, based upon the great stap!
crops and issued by the government in
aceordauco with the laws of supply and
demand.
The mere statement of these princi
ples shows that they are in accord with
sound Democratic views; that they are
the prineiples advocated by a great ma
jority of the people of the South and
they arc broad enough for the people of
eve'y section to unite upon.
Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she caught cold,
which settled on her luugs; she was
treated for a month by her family physi
cian, but grew worse. Ho told her she
was a hopeless victim of consumption and
tha no medicine could cure her. Iler
