Tho Kentucky Court of Appeals, in an opinion by, Judge Holt, has decided a very important case against the Western Union Telegraph Company. The action was brought by Joseph Chapman for damages for the telegraph company's fail ure to deliver to him two telegranas, one announcing the daugerous illness of his father and the other informing him of his father's death and when he would be buried. They were sent from Franklin to Bowliug Green, a distance of about twenty mile. Chapman resided in Bowliug Green, and learning on the street of the death of his father called at the telegraph office and received the two telegrams. Chapman, in his suit claimed he sustained a pecuniary loss, missing a donation from hi father of a promis sory note which he says hi father would have given nim if he had seen him in his last illness. :n that he was also dam aged in hi feelings and affection by being thereby prevented from attending upon his father in his lat illness and frcm at tending his funeral. The Court of Ap peals holds substantially that, as Chap man was the beneficiary of the telegrams, he can maitaiu an action; that the tele graph company is liable for damage if it fails to use ordinary diligence in compli ance with its contract, whether it lc to to the feelings or tilt purse: that the m jury to the feelings should be regarded an m part of the actual damage, and the jury be allowed to consider it.

BENEFITS OF THE ORDER. The improved busines method in troduced by the Order have laved hun deeds of thousands of dollars fb the fa m ere of the State, but important an is tM mosey saving tS) the farmers of tbe skate, the gain in Information inri mfcnho- is valtly more important. TheAUi11" h&$ not only danonstrated the irract c . booefits of unity, but that it has frtimu latedaudhas given direction to imb vjdual efforts is the testimony of obs r vers both 3n and Out of the Order. Tie termers of the State are m r cheeTul and hopeful than they ha forittl&ny years, and it will not be d dfiodtty those who have observed ai d studied tkjs farmers' condition lhat it 1 mairfly .one to the beneric nt fcacl i y and operations of your noble organiz i tion. GUIDED BY NOBLE PURPOSES. In looking to and arranging for futme operations we must be gu'd;d by th same declaration of noble purposes that has enabled us to start so well. Ih y are founded on truth and equity . L us study then and be guided by them The safety and success of our orgtniz i tion is dependent on our fidelity an i devotion to these noble purposes. ECONOMICAL FDUCATIOS. The first declaration of purpose ! our Order shows that it looked to tt" education of the 'agricultural clai. ' that they might be prepare ! t gr pp' with organized and enthroned munop v I respectfully recommend a careful study of this entire first de dara iou and purpose to the broiheih od in Scu'h Carolina. The education of the "gn cultural cbss" is the most Import n work of the Alliance, not only in South Carolina but in every State of this -eat nation. I recommend that you. consider carefully the best methods for the a -complishraent of this great educttlooil work. MONOPOLY. Entrenched monopoly, with it in flutnce and power, must be met and defeated. This is a task worthy of th upremest efforts of the toiling mawe of the people of tne United States From it there is no escape if we would p-r petuatc free institutions and enlightr.l Christian government. The toiling masses cf the people of this great nt on are girding tnemselves for the accom plishment of thnt Usk. The agricultural States r.f this Union are niiitiuf for the accomplishment of this grand tafek. lhr great Northwest and the Cotton StaUi will at nd together in tfie coming battle witn tbe poers of roonoply. The as saults of tbe first skirmish will be re corded in the elections remits of tbe natioaal election o! l&SK). But tie u) uter monopoly is too firmly establish d to be defeaXed in a skirmish. It wilt require the great battle of 1892 to decide whether the people or whrther mono poly, shall rile this great nation. POLITICAL DAXfiKR. The cnarge of our opponents that we hare abandoned agriculture and rone into politics is sufficiently answered by the statistical fact of fbe increased area and superior condition of tbe growing crops. Whence this fear of the (snwi la political But we mail ever ,rimm' bee that our politics are to be ictl) con-paxtisao." A&y de partus fro a. this rule will b?, to the extent oi the departure, fatal to tbe s' treses of she tfercf mjfiU Tt AHitsci h to tsnse a political party, nor does it lcol to the destruction of either of the great political parties, but it is a "strictly aon-partisan" organization for the de' fence and protection of tbe agricultural classes against legalued spoliation, and will wait for no change of Administra tion to nreseot its densands. The na tional demands formulated by the Su pre me Council at St. Loais have oeen considered and passed upon by the Sub and County Alliances, i recommend that these Ueuianis. with the action taken thereon by Uib and County Al liances. be referred to a special commit tee on legislative demands and t&ct al! the matters in reference to legislation. State cr National, he referred to this committee. Tbe great consolidation effected av St- Louis since your iast msjetmg an(! the unprecedented crowth of the National Farmers Alliance and Iu dustrial Union inspires the hope that tne demands of tbe grand organization will at no very distant date receive respect ful consideration by the Congress of the United States. THE AGRICULTURAL AKD COLLEOS. MECHANICA1 I congratulate tbe farming and indus trial classes of the State on the fact that since your last meetiag the State has made provision for the establishment ot an agricultural and mechanical college at Fort Hill, and that the work of con struction is now progressing. The report of your executive committee shows good and safe financial management. They have enabled your State organizer. State lecturer and State president to mtet, to the extent of their ability to do so. all de mauds made for their services. 1 recom mend that the committers continue the same equitable and wise arrangement in deference to the work of the State lec turer, and that he be required to give his whole time to the work; under their di rection should it be demanded, ajad I uggest further, now that the work of organization is so nearly 'completed, that the committee impose tne work of State organization on the State lecturer. CONSTITUTION. The State secretary, who has made your State constitution a special study, has by request prepared for submission to your body a new or revised constitu tion, with the purpose to make it more systematic in arrangement, less doubtful f interpretation and and easier of refer nre. I recommend tnat you take such i- tion as will best secure a careful con sideration of this new or revised consti tution. THE ALLIANCE EXCHANGE. The plan adopted at your last meeting for the establishment of an "Alliance Exchange" has been carried into active nnd successful operation. This report submitted to this body as information will sufficiently explain its operations. Ps continued success is directly depend ent on tbe patronage of the Alliance brotherhood of the State. When th business world comes to understand thai it has come to stay, that the Alliance people of the State will support it to the extent of their ibility, it will surely prove a grand succets and benefit to the vlliance membership oeyond their most -anguine expectations when you organ ized. THE COTTON PLANT. Your State organ is worthy of and creased, -hould receive the support of the broth-1 William E. Johnston, E. M. Andrew, erhood throughout the State.

SALARIES. I respectfully suggest the propriety and justice of increasing the salanet if your president ana secretary, as the salaries, as now fixtd hy your constitution, are not fail oompnation for the lervices rendered by those officers I trust you will re main in session long enough to give care ful consideration to all matters of inter est to the Order in this State. IN CONCLUSION I want to toy that the effort to serve you has been to m a labor of love. I have brought to the . discharge of the dutiei imposed my best efforts for tbe vjell being of the Order. I have been con scious of mv inability to measure up t the respoaibility imposed upon me. 1 invoke your icdulgence to tbe deficien cies and errors in my official edmlniitra lion.

If the majority rule had obtained in the Tennessee Convention! Mr, Buchanan would have been on easy winner at the outset, practicilly over riding the opposition, and even under the two-thirds regulation his following was so much greiter than that of any other candidate that his nomination w inevitable. But there wss no fight ma 1 against Mr. Buchanan account of LiT. convictions. He was in fact les an tagonized than any candidate in i).e field, except Taylor.
