If this should prove to he the case, we think that the people are too enlightened to put up w ith any such clap trap. The Democratic party in the last campaign not only promised to re peal the ten per cent tax on State bank circulation, but they promised the people that they would give them free coinage of silver uleo. What a spccti(.le this w ill present! The new Kii'Mand devision of the jiarty, refusing to htand by the pledged to the people on one point, unless the Southern and "Western j part of the party will go back on their pledges to the people on an other point. When this proposition is made, the machine- papers and politicians will cry out, that this is a compromise between two extreme ideas, and that all reforms are got ten through compromises. That is a stereotyped expression w hich the tools and mouthpieces of monopolies always use, v.hen a deal is being made that robs the people and gives everything to the monopolies. We will not make any further comment, until we sec positively what Cleve land intends to do. We sound this note of warning now, "however, that people may be on their guard and watch. One more word though be fore we close, and that is, that every reformer in this country stands on the bank question, where Andrew Jackson stood. Every well informed man knows thatlhe great tight of this life was against banks of issue, both of State and National. lie believed in the government exercis ing its right and doing its simple duty, to furnish the people with a currency sufficient in volume, and without the intervention of banking corporations. Remember it is banks of issuk that he opposed not banks of deposit. Yet those who claim to be Democrats to-day, and posing as the leaders of the psvty, are op posed to the great principles that he stood and fought and won on.

And the men I have described are the leaders who are ehampioningr the invincible cause of Reform in the great north west. No sane man can mingle a single bow with these people and doubt one moment the triumphant vindication of our principles. Just let me say right here, when you see in the Bourbon press that the Reform party has gone to pieces in the west, 3-011 may safely nail the statement a lie out of the whole cloth. Every day is a demonstration of its grow th and strength. The organization is in perfect condition and every day adds recruits to the best equipped political force that American contro versy has ever developed. That this movement will sweep the north western States is as clear to me as the noon-day sun on this historic d.iy of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. There is not a weak place in the imposing line of battle and every private m the ranks is a commanding officer. These brave men heroes, every one of them-rep-resent every shade of political thought. They are Democrats, Re publicans, AVoman suffragists, Free Silverites, Knights of Labor, Popu lists, Alliancemen, Industrial League men, moved and inspired by a com mon purpose.

The devil can make extracts from the Iii hie to prove that he is right and back up his unholy cause. In the editorial we gave facts, Iigures and names to hack up and prove very statement we made. Dut it id not suit the unfair and uurelia le Carolinian to publish it and let t btand on its merits before a fair minded people who knows the facts. Jut we stand by the above clippings ust as they are. We repeat "I he South is Dominated by political boss es who care nothing for the people." 'hoii action in the last campaign ho wed it. The safe guard of the eople is free speech, every man at iberty to vote his honest convictions and then the will of the people counted and respected as expressed n the ballot box. Was this done? f so we plead guilty. Every hon est fair-minded man knows tnat ree speech was stilled, men were in timidated and brow beaten, and the corruption and stealing at the ballot ox w as by the wholesale. AVe chal enge The Carolinian and all these josses and political scoundrels coni- lincd to successfully contradict this harge. No the Carolinian doe3 not ttempt to contradict this bill of in- itement, but tries to hide the truth of an appeal to prejudice. It yells 'South haters!" Now ask a fair- minded people, who is the best riend to the South, who loves it most, the man who winks the ac- used fraud and corruption and then triesjto smooth it over andc loak it up, or the man who exposes it and con demns the guilty parties? It pains us to write such facts about our own southland, but since they are facts, truth and justice demand that we ex pose the rottenness that it may be rooted out and stopped. "Jonathan Edwards" has been on a trip out West, lie writes about his trip and also tells how he finds Washington and the office seekers upon his return He will write us a etter each week hereafter. government. codfish aristocracy and The Charlotte Observer says: Gov. Tillman and his crowd pass as Democrats. They attend Democratic conventions and vote the ticket, but they are fully imbued with Ocala-bt. oouis Omaha ideas They talk about "reform," and "per capita," and "plutocrats," and "Wall street," and the necessity tor "relief- their papers read just like the "reform" concerns in North Carolina." This shows up Joe Caldwell and the crowd of riugsters that h trains with in their true ligh. They are a ranjf who have no sympathy for the people or interest in goo. They belong to the tony set of corporation pets. They hate a Democrat if he stands by the peo ple. They hate a Republican if he stands by the people, they hate a Populist if he stands by the peo pie, they love every fellow who is against the people and will do the bidding of their crowd. This is the gang that now has control of the State, but the people will soon take charge. Is it the fault of nature the fault of God, that the gulf between the rich and the poor widens each year No! If the whole couutry was growing poorer and less productive this might be so. The country is growing richer but those who toi are growing poorer. This unrest in the laud is the desire for equa rights. Joaquin Miller gave us a new thought when he said: "D you know that. God never uttered but one positive law, the others were all negative: That one was, "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." Noc in the sweat of anv other man's face, but your own." yj ,. - - v , gvj2R,CriARLS A. BRlOGS.l . 1 v.

If the rank and file of the Demo cratic party will take notice of the kind of Democrats who are dissat isfied with Cleveland, and who it is that is kicking, they will find some food for thought that will be useful in guiding their feet along proper and safe political highways in the future. A Democrat who was beg ging the people to give the party a chance last fall, now goes to Washi ngton to get an appointment, lie does not get it. He kicks. He is at once disappointed. His opinion of Mr. Cleveland changes. But mark you, Mr. Cleveland has not changed His policy of government, his ideas on finances, taxation, civil service and pensions, are just the same, Xow must the people believe the politician now or when he swearing that Cleveland was the greatest and best man in the country, yes G rover the great, who could do no wron ? ,, 0 . All this serves to show that the peo pie cannot trust this class of politi cians, they are not safe advisers and leaders for the people. Any policy of government is good in their sight, that w ill probably get them an office. But any man or politician is bad, that does not gratify their selfish de sires. This class of politicians don't care a snap for the people. They don't care whether there is more money, and less taxes, or more taxes and less money, so they get au office, and the people are taxed enough to pay their salaries. Yes, notice their criticisms ot Mr. Cleveland. They do not condemn him, or say tha they are disappointed in him be cause they thought he was for free silver and more money. And now find out that he is for less money, more debt burdening bonds, and a single gold standard. O no, they are simply disappointed in him be cause they don't get office fas enough. Let the people be thinking on these things, for it will not be many moons before the politicians will scent the probable flesn pots in store for them, after another cam paign, and then the whole hord wil be out among the dear people again advising them how to vote. Eternal Yigilance, is the jrice of liberty ! of the United States met in Washing ton D. 0 on last Thursday May ISth It is one of the mot important in the history of the church.

Rev. Alvin Bart lett is pastor of the church, and Rev Dr. William Young is officiating as moderator of the assembly. In our next issue we will give a synopsis of the most important work done. 'ioneers of the free west are branded fanatics! For one, I say, give me FANATicisiM or give me political ex- extermination for the latter is in evitable under the rule and ruin pol icy of the two dominant political parties that now alternately mis govern the country. The day has passed when great reforms can be lowled down by the cry of "Fanat ics!" Communists!" The honest sentiment of the whole country is in revolt against this despotism of free thought and tearless speech. Go west young Bourbon and see what political revolution means. Go west ballot box stuff er and see the bio- plain hand-writing on the wall of ad vanced civilization that means free suffrage to every American freeman. Go west and learn the truth about the growth and future of this great American itepublic. JNo power on earth can stay the irresistable advance of the Reform movement in the western States. I write these words to encourage the brave men who are fighting the same battle in our own impoverished State. Go on zealously and fearlessly in the pa triotic work you have so nobly un dertaken. Iou are treeman. Assert everywhere and on every occasion your independence. Maintain j-our convictions as becomes men And so sure as a God rules the universe the day is not distant when all your rights will be vindicated. BACK IN WASHINGTON Things here are very much as T left them. ' North Carolina oeonle are not so numerous as they were. The Pie-Politan hotel wears an air of mournful desolation. The White House door was insolently slammed in the faces of the men who fought and won the battle last November. More than that the autocrat in the Executive Mansion ordered these people to leave town. Many of them are unable, financially, to get away. once, not many moons ago, they were jumiant ana lull of expecta tion. To-day they wear a sorrow ful, woe-begone countenance that means desperation or suicide. Many of you readers will recall our ex- btate Lecturer, Brother Bell. I re member the sledge-hammer blows of the stalwart young mountaineer from Clay county. I can see his long, powerful arms sawing the air as he metaphorically pounded the Demo cratic party into Washington board house hash. I can hear the echo of his powerful, ringing voice advo cating the cause f the people. I can see his hurcueiean form around the camp fire of the Gideon Band The Bell of that day is no more. The Bell of to-day is one of the chief front pew mourners at the Demo cratic pie counter. He is but a shadow of his former promises. He is not the same bouyant, hopeful blue-eyed son of the Blue Ridge. Since the eventful 4th of March he has been here. His firmly set, pug nacious looking jaws have more than once opened to receive the plum that fell into the other fellows mouth. Finally in the keenness f his mis ery and humiliation he begged his little boss Simmons to come to his rescue. Simmons come and made a big show of doing something. Talked big to the President and the heads of the departments about Bell sav ing the State same old rot that is daily dinned into their ears in be half of every .fellow who wants an office. But it tickled Bell immense ly, and the innocent minded fellow really thought he had "a dead clinch" on the Postoffiee Department and that he would be "sworn in" the next day before breakfast. Sim mons has gone home. Bell is still on "the ragged edge" of the pie counter. ANOTHER SORROWFUL BROTHER. Brother Sanderliu is here, or rath er he was here. lie was one of the first to greet me on my return from the West. His smooth, clerical look ing face was radiant, irredecent, beaming. He did mv verv soul good to look into his mirthful, happy face. It was the picture of lupe realized. He soon unbosomed his confiding big soul to me. "They" had tele graphed him to come on, and he had just had an interview with Secretary Carlisle. "It is all right," he said, "jubilantly," it is "the sub-treasury or something better." Mr- Carlisle had offered him the 5th Auditrship of the Treasury, he had accepted it and was as happy as a big sun nVw er. I saw him the following day. A little shadow was playing hide and seek on his open, handsome face, NKWS .VXD COM M KNT. Farmers Alliance Meeting. A Sub-Committee of the Execu tive Committee of the National Far mers Alliance met at Harrisburg, Pa.. May 20th.

PaT o0 vts each to get into the and the next day a thunder cloud was pictured on his Jovian brow. Days, seemingly long, weary, anx ious months have since passed. The lowering cloud is still there. The gladsome, mirthful, bird-singing May days come and go, but nature moves in vain. Heart-sick, humili ated, disgusted brother Sanderlin has gone home. He still hopes for a "small place," which he says "stern necessity" will compel him to ac cept. It is said here, and I am dis posed to give the statement credence, that Senator Ransom is indignant at the suggestion of making our Alli ance friends preferred creditors in paying off Simmons' campaign obli gations. He puts the very, lowest estimate on their services, and the appointment of Col- Craige as assis tant Postmaster General, is evidence as a purpose on his part to give the prominent and desirable appoint ments - to Bournbon Democrats. What will be brothers Sanderlin and Bells "mess of pottage" no one knows, but small as it may be, they will take it. Brother Bell has a Re publican father and five Republican brothers and he dare not go back and face them with his story of Democratic deception. This a sad world, but after all we make it sad.

Somebody told the Presi dent that "Buck" was a chicken fancier and that it was he who in troduced the famous Shanghai bred into tnis country. Then, too, the name of "Buck Jones ' struck the President as being something new, and Democratic. There is nothing mawkish about the President. He wanted a plain, homey-handed son of tne toil tor this China business and isuek Jones," it seemed to him, filled the bill. Everybodv is won dering how it -happened, and I am giving you the story just as I got it from headquarters. It hasrnade the kid-glove crowd hopping mad. The people are inquiriug why the Democratic administration does not investigate the mail frauds, where it is charged that Republicans, Congressmen and the iiailroads com bined to rob the government. Jonathan Edwards. See in another column a commu nication from the eounty Alliance of Cabarrus county. They denounce the course of the Coneord Times and pronounce its statements false.

But Mr. Olney, the Attorney General, says it cannot be opened, that the law is plain against it. That when the fair company accept ed the appropriations it did so with the law plain and nothing short of an act of Congress can effect a change, and release the nianacers from their dilemma. , To Talk at a Distance.

T'.:e rummer d.y were long and full of i.lle hours iu the mouth that elapsed before Uilliert could make his wishe known in the Atelan tongue; the tim hung heavily upon his hands at times, although when he mastered th lan guage he was busy indeed, and h was then a marvel to the people, for they rested often and long and busied them selves little with improvements or even repairs. He spent many hours swinging in the hammocks which hung from tree to tree, hundreds of them, all over the courts, common property, for the Atz lan loved ease and shade above all things. Many hours, too, he spent by the river, where the white cranes walked iu solemn procession along the sands while he lay in the cool shadows of the pinon trees listening to the quail piping and the wild dove's amorous cooing. It wad near the last of July, a day so warni and sultry that the blue haze filled the canyon, making objects indistinct and distorted. The city's walls looked out of perspective, as though twisted and warped by the heat; the air was bo still that away up there in the woods he could hear voices from the city's houses, and the bells of silver on the cattle Beemed etartingly near. The birds were all doz ing close under the heaviest leaved branches, and the only life in the scene was given by a group of naked boys bathing in the river, their brown bodies glistening in the sunlight with a cop pery luster. Uut even these were in keeping with the scene, for they splashed and dived in queer silence, unlike white lads, who would have made the canyon ring with shrieks and yells. Gilbert was under the spell of the day, feeling an indolence and lassitude and a quiet content Btealing over bim until his senses were lulled into a dreamy repose, He felt the delicious languor of enforced idleness, just tinged with enough of the consciousness of the waste of precious time to add a zest to its charm, as it al ways does to the naturally busy man. A passing breath of wind Bwayed the grasses and danced across the little river, rippling its silver blue satin, bring ing the eager trout to the surface and ruffling gently the plumage of the sol emn sentrylike cranes. Out from the shore a dozen turtles were basking on the rocks, their heads held erect in a painful and constrained way, their eyes closed, and their whole bearing evincing that they wrere being soaked in rich, golden sunshine. On a flat stone not a rod away was coiled a huge rattlesnake, his oily skin sinning with black and yellow glossi ness. Gilbert drew his revolver, and resting it over his left hand aimed at the ugly flat head and glittering eyes and fired. The report was followed by a startled woman's scream near by, the turtles slipped with a sudden alacrity into the water, the cranes flapped their wings as though about to fly, but thought better of it and walked ab with grave concern, and the snake lai wriggling and twisting at the foot 01 the stone in a death agony. Gilbert looked around and 6aw Kulcan, witl Liela m his arms, pale and trembling and her blue eyes resting on him in ter ror. Kulcan, too, wras trembling, foi neitner or them had seen his weanot nor knew what caused the echoes which were still rolling along the canyon and causing tne people in the sleepy citv to rush out of their houses and ask om another the meaning of the thunderous. 60und. Gilbert stepped forward with a smilt on his hps, and Kulcan, reassured, nla. fi. his sister upon a grassy mound, when she sat panting for several moments. Gilbert knelt beside her. and taking Vim hand in his stroked it with unconscious tenderness to quiet her fears.
