The situation in Ireland is becoming
daily more desperate. The pphce are
becoming more despocic and the inhabit

, T,he Raleigh JS'ews and Observer is op
pospd o Uncle Sam buying the telegraph
lines on the ground that it "savor .too
much of paternalism and there is jno
of, that sort of tmng air -agreeable
to most of us." We are hear
tUv opposed to that paper in. this meas
ure, and are glad to state that it is - not
a drop in the bucket" compared to the
number in favor of governmental owner
ship of telegraphs and railways. A large
number of leading papers have cone out
squarely in favor of the government
stepping in and subduing these monopo
lies that are sapping the foundation of
our free government.
Did it ever wcur to you how unequally
everything is distributed in this world?
While Cleveland was traveling around
in all his pomp and glory, boosting himself-for
another term, at an expense of
iJ,e wages of three hundred workingmen
. 7or a whole year, and traveling in cars
' each of which cost as much as one tnous
and workingmen earn, or are paid, in a
year's time; while he was traveling thus,
We sav, there were hundreds and thous
ands of people in this land of freedom
and plenty actually suffering for bread.
And if these people who banqueted and
dined Cleveland on the fat of the land
would pay living wages, this otner cia
of people would not have been suffering
for bread.
r The General Assembly adjourned on
Wednesday of last week. Mr. Powderly
did not resign, nor was he asked to do
so. The Associated Press reporters got
things badly mixed in their dispaicnes.
Ther; are many rumors afloat that the
anarchist element of the Order, headed
by pseudo-delegate Buchanan, has se
eded and established an organization of
their own with' headquarters at Chicago.
These rumors may be sensational, yet we
, earnestlyhope they are true, o
1 can be an Anarchist and a Knight of Lr
bor, as the aims ot the two orders are di
ametrically opposite. Instead of endeav
oring to advance K.of L. prinsiples, they
! teen a constant dog-in-the-manger to the
Order. We are glad to dw tnese ureiu-j-en
farewell, without a tear in our anti
weeping eyes. They have been a con
stant menace to the safety of the Order.
t 4Kia nnpction the Xational Repub
lican says: 'The anarchist and socialis
tic elements of the Knights of Labor
have seceded from the order. The friend
of the ordef ami of labor generally must
congratulate the Knights upon the se
cession. This is one ofthe cases m
which' a Joss means a gain."
lieving that this system is the root of all
the financial ills nnder which the mort,
a'ed farmer is now laboring. To ac
complish this object the Alliance has a
co-operative feature, through which the
farmer is expected to obtain his supplies
at a much lower ; rate than heretofore
and by the same method realize a better
: t rttvuliir.-tK of his farm. The
.pn2 iui j' .
feasibility of this scheme is, we suppose, i
f dmihted bv any practical, common
sense man. In Texas, where the Alli
ance originated about seven years ago,
there are several co-operative cotton fac
tories with an aggregate tapitkl of more
than a million dollars, hundreds of co
operative stores, from which the farmer
can purchase his supplies at a greatly re
duced price, and a State Exchange, with
o ,Iritnl of half a million dollars, for the
sale of the cotton, grain, hay and stock
Miwxl hv members of the Alliance. All
i.cp fr.-nnerative enterprises are in sue-
V m-
cessful operation, and are making money
frr Mia stockholders.
Realizing this the Alliances in this sec-
t!nn should commence at once to inaugu
f-n-onerative enterprises. A few dol
lars from each member will go a long
...... aii:
ways towards establishing an Aiiiaurc
dorc. where the . members can obtain
their supplies at less than mortgage
prices. Thiseeins to us to be the first
step that should te taken by the Alliance
to benelit the members. They sadly
nepd aid in this respect Unless the Al-
mentswith the merchants they should
start a co -operative store. This
feature of the Alliance fully carried out
ho nf inra.lculable benent to tne
T M
members.
