The wonderful growth of the Far mers' Alliance, says the Register, demonstrates the fact that the farm ers realize the necessity for united action on their condition. Originat ing a few years ago in Texas, with a mere handful of men, it has grown until it is now a powerful organiza tion, counting its members by the million. It may be, and doubtless is, true that they have made mistakes, but they have not been fatal ones, and u 1 v sons Senator Blair might pour his "tale of woe" into a phonograph, with a calm assurance of having one willing listener during his lifetime. The Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections has decided to favor the seating of the liepublican con testants from Montana, Messrs. Powers and Saunders. MISCELLANEOUS. GO A.

He plants himself boldly i ward in the accomplishment of on the position that there are fifty objects tor which they had organiz ed. They have awakened to a knowl edge of their condition, the scales have dropped from their eyes, and The Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the State Uni versity haye decided to establish a department of civil engineering", and also to appoint a professor of elec tricity at a fCOO salary. farmers in North Carolina who make more in the cultivation of the soil, in proportion to cost of labor, etc., than in any other State in the Union or on any other part of the American continent. AVhile the publication of this fact may excite wonder in the they realize the powers of monopoly against which they must contend. With a body of principles which even their enemies are compelled to minds of many it is not a matter of i admit are sound, they have entered surprise to the people in the blight tobacco section of North Carolina. But we give the article from the Messenger which reads as follows: We can find fifty farmers in North Carolina who make more dollars to the acre, to the mule or horse or to the workmen employed than any other fifty farmers on the American continent. If you think this is brag' bring out your fifty in any State and we will produce the fifty in this State that beat them year by year. In fact, we will not limit the selection to one State, but you may take all the States and North Carolina will beat 3-011." We find the following from Dr. Kingsbury on this subject of a more recent date, and we fully endorse what he says and are prepared to bear testimony to the truthfulness of the statement: We said we could find fifty far mers in North Carolina who could beat the United States. We believe we can find fifty farmers who have made for three consecutive years an average of $:() to the acre in'tobaeeo alone. We believe we can find fifty farmers who have averaged for three years $000 to every workingman em ployed. We do not doubt that we can find ten farmers who have aver aged fSOO to the workman or .$400 to the acre. We ha ve known those fig ures surpassed in former years. We are sure we can name a man who lias made $."00 to the acre and $1,000 to each hand worked. North Carolina after all is hard to excel." We endorse what is said above. We think we can give the names of a number of farmers in Granville county should the above challenge be taken up who would be in the list of the aforesaid fifty. If the simple unvarnished facts should be publish ed to the world of the profitable re sults of tilling the soil in Granville county alone by the best farmers -who cultivate lands adapted to the growth of the biighest and best grades of leaf tobacco it would not only be a surprise to persons Hying beyond the limits of the State, but it would equally astonish a majority of our own State. It is known that the superiority of the (Iranville fancy bright tobacco has been tested by skilled chemists in foreign lands as well as in Ameiica and found to contain less nicotine than tobacco from other sections. While the (iranville tobacco of the highest grades ranks first in reputa tion it is a pleasure to us as a North Carolinian to say that the bright to bacco belt in this State is by no means confided to any one county, but there are a great many counties in which the bright tobacco is culti vated Jo a point of excellence that even rival our fine tobacco in color; texture and general excellence, though we affirm that our best grades cannot possibly be surpassed, and we believe they are still ahead of all others. The superiority of the bright to bacco belt as an agricultural district is the foundation of the claim made in the article taken from the Mes senger, and no doubt solves the reason why Dr. Kingsbury is em boldened to make it. We are grati fied to know that while Granville is the banner county for bright to bacco we have in this county great variety of soil, perhaps as great, as will be found anywhere in the world within the same compass of territory. the struggle which will either result in greatly improving their conditon or riviting more securely the chains which have been forged for them. Many joined in this movement who did not fully understand the aims and objects of the order. Prejudice was created, and many seemed to think they must pull down their neighbor, in order to build up them selves. This view of the iustion, and the action which it prompted, for a time injured the Alliance. But pre judice for and against the oider, has, to a gieat extent at least, been remov ed. A better understanding of the principles of the great organization taught its members that they were not to war against their neighbors. They were to strive to elevate them selves, socially, morally and finan cially, but to do this it was not nec essary to pull down their neighbor who happened to be engaged in some other occupation. The enemies against which they must fight are not the men of whom they have bought their supplies. Unjust legis lation, which permits and fosters a system under which tiusts and mo nopoly flourish, must be eombatted. Governmental reforms must be brought about, and to accmplish this the masses must be educated in "the science of government economically administered." and taught to act in concert in the effort to render them selves free and independent. The fight is likety to be a long one and every citizen who has the best interests of the country at heart is interested in the result. There should be no unjust prejudice against the farmers; thej' are, as a rule, con servative, and are too patriotic to use their power to advance any cause whi.'h would prove detrimental to the country at large. It is natural that selfish and unprincipled men should take advantage of this power ful organization, and by professing a zeal for the farmer which they have never before shown, seek to advance their own political or financial inter ests. Such men will soon be gauged at their true value, and will sooner or later be sent to the rear, where they belong. In the meantime, the Alliance will continue to grow, and with age and experience it will increase in wisdom, mistakes will be avoided and through it the entire country will be blessed. The Bcpuhlicans in Congress may nullify the people's will by unseat ing Democrats who have been legal ly elected, but the people will have their innings in November, and then Autocrat Reed and his fellow con spirators will discover that there is a power before which they must bow. The new rule for determining the presence of a quorum in the House of Representatives resolves itself into this: There is always a quorum present or in sight when the Speaker favors the bill: when he is opposed to it a motion to adjourn is in order. This is called "the rule ot the major ity." The Speaker is a majority in himself. NKW ADVERTISEMENTS. M 2 I P - or! CZZD it- A. Land is & Sons. IF1 To. la! i aim 1SQO.
