WILMINGTON, N. C.
Thursday .'.Iorning, March 5, 1891.
FOR A NEW PARTY.
The movement for a new party
seems to, be taking shape in the
West. The report comes from Spring
field, Illinois, that the three F. M. B.
A. (Farmers' Mutual Benefit Associ
ation) members of the Legislature
re active in pushing it. The effort
will be to. embrace the Farmers' Al
liance, the Farmers' Mutual Benefit
Association, by which the three
members, above alluded to were
elected, the Patrons of Husbandry,
the Knights of Labor, and all other
organizations composed of farmers
or men of other industries. Circu
lars are now being sent to the land
organizations of these respective
bodies asking them to co-operate in
the movement, not as organizations
but as individuals, difficulty being
anticipated in getting so many or
ganizations, some so much more
numerous than others, and with dif
ferent interest, to harmonize in a
i
common movement for political
action
The plan is something similar to
that pursued in Nebraska in the last
election, when the men of the vari
ous organizations supported the
State ticket nominated. In order to
prevent conflict as much as possible
they have fixed up a platform which
is mtenoed to embrace the essential
points upon which these various or
ganizations are supposed to agree,
and avoid anything in which they
might be; supposed to differ. It is
the "declaration of principles" which
forms part of the petition which is
sent out to the various organizations
to be signed by the members, asking
for a convention to be held in Cin
cinnati some time next year. It will
be remembered that Cincinnati was
the place selected by Col. Rice, of
Kansas, who sprang this movement
at the Ocala, Fla., convention, and
the probabilities are that he is figur
ing in this present movement. The
petition,' with the declaration of
principles, embraces " six demands,
and reads as follows:
"We, the undersigned, do hereby de
clare our allegiance to the following
principles, viz :
"1. The free and unlimited coinage of
silver.
"2. The abolishment of national banks
and the substitution for their notes of
legal tender treasury notes; and the in
crease of currency to $50 per capita.
"3. Government ownership of all rail
roads, telegraphs and telephones.
"4. The prohibition of alien owner
ship of land, and of gambling in stocks,
options and futures.
"5. The adoption of a constitutional
amendment requiring the election of
President and Vice President and
United States Senators by direct vote
of the people.
'8 The Australian ballot system.
"And we hereby express our wish tor
a National Independent Convention to
nominate candidates for President and
Vice President on the above platform,
and we hereby agree that if pure, able
and honorable men are so nominated,
we will support them and vote for them
in preference to any other candidates.
y al hereby express our desire
that this declaration shaH be circulated
fr sicmaturps in each States and Terrt-
tpry of the Federal Union by the execu
tive officers of each industrial organiza
tion in said State or Territory, and re
turned and signed to such officers, and
when 5,000,000 signatures shall be ob
tained and reported bv the executive
officers of the different industrial
organizations of each State and Terri
tory, said executive officers shall eject
one representative for each State (each
State acting by itself) to constitute
provisional committee, and said provis
ional committee shall meet at Cincinnati
on the 22cl day of February, 1892, and
for a ration of representation based on
the number of signatures in each State
determine upon the place and date of
holding said national convention, and
appoint from their number an executive
committee to raise funds, procure a hall
and perfect all the necessary details for
the same."
The men who adopted this plat
form were not asleep, and have evi
dently been keeping their eye on
the drift of public sentiment. It
will be a taking platform with the
various organizations to which this
movement appeals. It is a very
shrewdly devised and a sort of a
catch-all platform. There are some
planks in it the adoption of which
is only a question of time, no mat
ter what party triumphs.
The first plank which declares for
free coinage of silver would be en
dorsed by a majority of the Ameri
can people, although there might be
considerable difference of opinion
in the advisability of "unlimited"
coinage.
If the second plank were carried
out as to the issue of treasury notes
and the increase ot the circulating
medium to 50 per capita, it would
practically result in the closing up
of the National banks, for th-.re
would be but little use for these
banks when the government puis in
circulation the amount of money de
manded. The third won't pan out even
among the members of these organ
izations when they reflect merely up
on it and realize its full import.
The fourth as to alien ownership
of lands was anticipated by an act
passed during Mr. Cleveland's ad
ministration, which is now on the
statute books. While the question
of dealing (gambling as it is called)
in stocks, options and futures, may
be antagonized by some, it may also
be a question whether the farmer
isn't rather benefitted by this system
than injured, for when transactions
in farm products are confined to
actual purchasers it compels the
the farmers to dispose of these pro
ducts to the actual purchasers in his
home market or ship to some other
market and take his chances on the
rise or fall of prices.
Public sentiment is beginning to
run so strongly in favor of the fifth
and sixth that their adoption is sim
ply a question of time, the latter
having already ben adopted in
some form in a number of States.
Whether this movement culminate
in the new party or not it shows that
new issues are coming to the front
to figure in the political contests of
the future.
MINOR MENTION.
The editor of the Brooklyn
Eagle ha been in Washington re
cently and imparted his views on
the Presidential outlook to a corre
spondent of the Baltimore Snn. He
says he thinks New York will send a
Hill delegation to the National Con
vention and that if Cleveland gets
the nomination it must be by the
votes of other States unless a com
promise be effected between the two
factions in the State. As far ?s the
strength of the two men is concern
ed Hill is stronger with the organiza
tions and Cleveland with the voters.
In the event of the nominatron of
Cleveland he does not anticipate any
break by Hill's friends, but that they
will fall into line and support him or
any other man who may be nomi
nated. Cleveland has been strength
ened, he thinks, among the voters of
New York by his sil ver letter, and
would doubtless carry the State, while
carrying it by any other nominee
will depend largely upon the plat
form adopted, especially in reference
to the free coinage of silver, which
he says the Empire State is emphati
cally opposed to. New York is a
great State, we like her, but we want
to see the day when the Democratic
party can nominate a candidate for
the Presidency without truckling to
New York.

At a meeting of iron manufac
turers held in Philadelphia recently
a lecture was delivered on the "De
velopment of the Pig Iron Industry
in the United States" by John Burk
inbine, a well known engineer and
metallurgist of that city, in which
he dwelled at some length on the
progress made in the South in this
industry. "It has," he said, " revo
lutionized the South. It has been
the instrument by which cities like
Birmingham, Ala., Middleborough,
Ky., and Tallapoosa, Ga., have
-sprung into existence and thrived.
The iron ore in these States is prac
ticably inexhaustible and every year
will witness an increase in the out
put of pig irori and the growth in
wealth of the people." It may not
have been very comforting to the
Pennsylvania manufacturers to lis
ten to this but it shows that thinking
and observing men on the other side
of the line are realizing the fact that
the South is coming to the front as
an iron maker and come to stay. '

Congress got away with six or
seven millions of appropriations, out
side of the regular appropriations in
the last couple days of the session,
and it was done as quickly and with
as little deliberation as if it were
that many hundreds. California and
Oregon and Nevada come in for a
little chunk of 3,179,926 to reim
burse them for moneys expended Dy
them in "suppressing the rebellion."
Most of this money was probably
spent in paying bounties to men and
in hiring substitutes from other
States to fill their State quotas, and
some ci it perhaps in protecting
their frontiers from the Indians.
They were "patriotic" then and
didn't mind the expense, but they
seem to have kept a pretty close ac
count of it.
The amendment to the Pension
Appropriation bill limiting to two.
dollars the fee of pension agents for
services rendered in securing an in
crease of pensions will result in sav
ing pensioners some money and also
ing the people some money. It will
greatly reduce the number of such
claims because there will be less
money tol)e made out of them, and
also the number of fraudulent claims
pushed by the agents, a character of
claiins which the agents found very
profitable, and out of which they
generally got about as much as the
pensioners
did.
STATE TOPICS.
The caucus of the " Democratic
members of the Legislature,, Tues
day night, settled the question as to
who will be the three railroad com
missioners. It was pretty generally
believed that Mr. Beddingfield,
Secretary of the Alliance, would be
one, but there was considerable
speculation as to who the other two
would be out of the large number of
candidates in the field. But Mr. J.
W. Wilson and Thos. Mason were
the lucky men. From the brief an
nouncement of the result we can't
well locate either of these, but
are under the impression that J. W.
Wilson is the gentleman who held
the position of Chief Engineer of
.the Western N. C. railroad, under
whose charge the survey was made
over the mountains to Asheville. If
so, he has the ability and the quali
fications to make a good, commis
sioner, as we trust they all will.

No two independent thinkers agree
perfectly on anv subject. Mr. Cleveland
is not in accord with many Democrats

controlling issues in 1892. New Benre

The great success ol the Royal Bak
ing Powder is due to the extreme, care
exercised by its manufacturers to make
it entirely pure, uniform in quality, and
of the highest leavening power. All the
scientific knowledge, care and -sKill, at
tained by a twenty years' practical ex
perience are contributed toward this
end, and no pharmaceutical preparation
can be dispensed with a greater accuracy,
precision and exactness. Every article
used is absolutely pure. A number of
chemists are employed to test the
strength of each ingredient, so that its
exact power and effect in combination
with its co-ingredients is definitely
known. Nothing is trusted to chance,
and no person is employed in the pre
paration of the materials used or the
manufacture of the powder, who is not
ah expert in his particular branch of the
business. As a consequence, the Royal
Baking Powder is of the highest grade
of excellence, always pure, wholesome
and uniform in quality. Each box is
exactly like every other, and will retain
its powers and produce the same and the
highest leavening effect in any climate,
at any time. The Government Chem
ists after having analyzed all the princi
pal brands in the market, in their re
ports placed the Royal Baking Powder
at the head of the list for strength,
purity and wholesomeness, and thou
sands of tests all over the country have
further demonstrated the fact that its
qualities are, in every respect, unrivaled.
A CRAZY KING.
How a Gool Professor Prevented a Decla
ration of War.
King William III of. the Nether
lands, who died recently, was in his
best days a man of frightful temper.
Therperson who excited him above
all others was the lank, phlegmatic
Thorbetke, who left the desk of
Utrecht professorship to become a
Minister of State. The King ex
pressed his contempt for Thorbecke
by always addressing him as "Sir
Professor." -"In the crisis of 1870
Thorbecke entered the King's bed
chamber with his hands behind him
on the morning of the day of the de
cision for "peace or war."
"Good morning, Sir Professor,
what is the news?" asked the King.
"Nothing special, sire; only the
people of The Hague are talking a
good'deal of nonsense," said Thor
becke, with diplomatic deliberate
ness. - ,
"Humph! Concerning my minis
ters ?"
"No, sire," droned on Thorbecke,
concerning you'
"Concerning me," shouted the
King, "and what, O honored profes
sor, concerning me ?"
"Sire, I hardly wish to repeat it.
I "
"Enough! I wish to hear it."
"Well, sire, the people of The
Hague say you are crazy as a loon."
Biff! Like a shot the short, heavy
body of the King bounced from
the bed to the floor. Purple and
absolutely speechless, he caught
up a great silver inkstand to
throw it at Thorbecke. His hand
became entangted for a moment in
the bed curtain. Thorbecke strode
up to him, thrust his4ceen white face
to the level of the king's eyes, and
said in a tone of icy indifference :
"And if you strike me with the
inkstand the people of The Hague
will be right." ,
The King droDped the inkstand in
the curtain that had caught it and
glowered at the professor, who has
tened to pile reasons on reasons why
the Netherlands should remain neu
tral during the Franco-Prussian war.
A tew hours later, in the presence of
all his ministers, William III tore
into bits and stamped on the decla
ration of war which he had all but
forced on his unwilling subjects.
