EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Democratic majority in Ala
Lama will reach 95,000.
It looks as if Congress would not
adjourn before November.
General Palmer is making a vigor
ous canvass in Illinois for tariff re
form. Senator Edmunds is disgusted at
the way things are running on in
the Senate.
From their intimacy with silver it
might be expected the Senate would
not condescend to take anything off
a tin-plate.
There is no reason why the Count
of Paris should stay away from the
United States because of the Me
Kinley bill. It imposes no duty on
uncrowned kings.
Think of 104 absentees being re
ported in the House in one day. Tom
Keed is mainly responsible. There
were seven Senators absent at 39
roll calls in one day.
President Hatrison told the Cali
fornia delegation who invited him to
visit that State that he didn't have
time to go this' year. About 1S93 he
will have plenty of leisure on his
hands.
J. J. Rogers, superintendent of the
North Carolina and Virginia Colored
Farmers' Alliance, made an enter
taining speech in Lynchburg at the
meeting of the Alliance.
The attempt of Speaker Reed and
his friends to get ap a pledge among
members not to support the Tariff
bill until the Elections bill is passed,
has failed, as the bill has been post
poned until the short session.
The appropriation for the A. & M.
College by Congress will be $15,000
for the first year; $17,500 for the
second; $20,000 for the third; $22,
f.00 forth.' fourth; and $25,000 for
the fifth and every year thereafter.
The new constitution of the Mis
souri Farmers' and Laborers' Union
provides that farmers owning bank
stock may become members if the
amount of llieir stoek doesn't exceed
one-fourth of the value of their
farms.
The railroad monopolies may well
tumble when the Fanners' Alliance
gets on its hind legs. The Alliance
of Kansas now demands that freight
cars shall be equipped with autom
atic air brakes and safety coupling
appliances.
The finance division of the Census
Office is busily at work examining
the acconnts of the enumerators
which haye been received and upon
which their pay will be based. These
examinations are progressing at the
rate of eight hundred a day and al
ready seventeen thousand accouunts
have been examined, but there are
some forty-five thousand of them in
all, so that it will require some weeks
before the last voucher can be sent
away.
"Deserters" is what the foice bill
boomers call Senator Quay, Came-rou,
Plumb and other Senators who are
opposed to that infamous measure.
Public feeling in France is once
more clothed in the garb of gentle
optimism. This is much better than
the watchword of vengeance. Presi
dent Cat-not and M. Ferry do well in
giving voice to the sentiment of a
united France.
The Farmers' Alliance of Georgia
have requested Gov. Gordon to call a
convention of the Governors of the
Cotton States, to be held it Atlanta
on September 10, "to formulate a
plan by which we can effect direct
trade with Liverpool," and requests
each Governor to appoint six dele
gates from his State to accompany
him and take part in the convention.
"While I favor passing the Tariff
bill, sooner than that this Congress
should not pass the Federal Elections
bill I would perfer to see eyery manu
facturing establishment in Massachu
setts burned to ashes and the people
of that State required to labor in
callings in which they could not
make more than 50 cents a day and
be reqnired to live on codfish." Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts.
The State Alliance of Louisiana in
session at Baton Rouge denounced
the Alliance men in the General As
sembly of that State who voted in
favor of rechartering the Louisiana
Lottery Company "as traitors to the
cause and principles of the Union,
and refusing to affiliate with them as
members of the order, and recom
mending that the subordinate unions
expel them; also reiterating the
pledges relative to the lottery, de
nouncinpT it as a vile curse and enor
mous iniquity, which they felt more
determined than ever to combat, and
resolving not to let their energies
relax until this enemy is driven from
the State."
The infamous Force Bill is dead,
and its death must be an accepted
fact with every party leader in Wash
ington who does not deliberately
close his eyes to the truth. Being
dead, there is only one more duty to
perform, and that is to buty the
corpse away at once and stop its now
sickening stench in the nostrils of
the nation. Many public men will
die from the Force Election malaria.
Some of them will linger until No
vember; others will fall, as some
have already fallen, but the death
and burial of the Force bill and the
death and burial of its chief advo
cates will clear the political atmos
phere and make another victory for
the sovereign power of the always
patriotic and honest American peo
ple. GREAT It ES IM JVSIBI EIT Y.
The Farmers' Alliance haye named
the ticket in nearly every Democratic
Convention that has been held in the
State. There is now resting upon
them a grave responsibility of elect
ing the nominees. They have it in
their power, organized as they are in
each township, with proper efforts
put forward to make a record for
themselves that will add honor and
reputation to their organization.
But on the other hand, should they
be divided and indifferent, causing
defeat of the Democratic party in
North Carolina, it will be a severe
blow to the Farmers' Alliance, as
well as the State. There is an old
saying that 4 'a house divided against
itself cannot stand." They cannot be
successful by splitting their tickets.
Present a solid front for a solid tick
et from Congressman to Coronor
and yictory is ours. The Alliance
have ninety thousand members in
the State, and if each member will
make it his business to influence one
indifferent Republican to vote the
Democratic ticket, we will carry old
North Carolina like Alabama has
gone by One Hundred Thousand
Majority. Gentleman of the Alli
ance, you are in a position to make
fame for your organization that will
last as long as time. Redeem eyery
Congressional District in the State.
Redeem every county in North Caro
lina and 3tou will hear it heralded all
over this land, "Hurrah for the Far
mers' Alliance!" You can and we
believe you will.
Few children cau be induced to take
physic without a struggle, and no wonder
most drugs are extremely nauseating.
Aj'er's Pills, on tlie contrary, being sugar
coated, are eagerly swallowed liy the little
ones, and are, therefore, the favorite fam
ily medicine.

STATE I'OLITICS.
Congressman Ewart of the Ninth
District has been re nominated by
the Republicans.
The Prohibition Exe3utive Com
mittee are talking of running a pro
hibition campaign tluil.
The negroes of Mecklenburg
county are greatly dissatisfied with
the Republican party of the State.
The Swain County Herald proposes
Cleveland and Polk as the Demo
cratic nominees for President and
Vice President, 1S92.
The Tarboro Banner favors Mr.
Eiias Carr of Edgecombe, or Mr.
Yancey T. Ormond, of Greene, for
Congress in 2d District.
The Republican Executive Com
mittee of the First district has nomi
nated C. C. Pool, of Elizabeth City,
for Solicitor, and C. M. Bernard, of
Pitt, for Congress.
We learn from a Person county
friend that S P- Satterfield, register
of deeds, will be nominated by the
republicans for the legislature. He
has been register for eight years and
will no doubt be elected. North
State.
John S. Leary, colored, a Professor
of Law in the Shaw University at
Raleigh, with residence in Cumber
land county, is spoken of as a candi
date for Congress in opposition to
Professor B. F. Grady in the Third
district.
Notwithstanding the withdrawal
of Capt. Kitchen from the contest for
the nomination for Congress in 2d
district, there seems to be quite a
number of requests for him to yet
permit his name to be presented to
the convention.
The next event of interest is the
Republican state convention. It is
surmised that there will be some
lively scenes. The white Republi
cans will try to control their black
allies, as in years past. The negroes
say they will resent this.
At the Wake county Demcratic
Convention a resolution was adopted
calling upon Senato.t Vance to pre
pare a measure embodying the ideas
of the sub-Treasury bill, but free
from constitutional objections, and
report it to the Senate as soon as
practicable.
Of course the Republiciins are mad
because the last Legislature amend
ed the election law so that it will not
be possible for that party to colonize
negroes at different points near the
State line as they have been doing.
We expected nothing else from men
who have been violating laws. All
the howling one hears from Republi
cans is upon the same principle that
the thief cries "stop thief." Wilson
Advance.
Our standard bearer for this Dis
trict, Hon. A. H. A. Williams, re
turned from a trip to Surry Thurs
day night, and is greatly encouraged
at the outlook. He says the pros
pects were never better for a glorious
Democratic victory in November if
the party will thoroughly organize
and go into the fight with the deter
mination to win. He expected to
meet Brower at Dobson, but Johnnv
failed to put in appearance. We
wonder why Turn Coat Tom Evans
did not turn up to defend the rights
of the man he sold out to for a small
position in the Pension office at
Washington.
The Winston correspondent of the
Raleign State Chronicle writes: Capt.
Baldy Williams went up the C. F. &
Y. V. road yesterday to be present
this week at Surry court. It is
thought by a good many that when
Brower was renominated, and the
campaign committee at Washington
had handed him his campaign check,
that we would hear no more of the
split in the Fifth district; but such
does not seem to be the case. Far
from it. The colored voters are now
under strict organization, and being
urged on by their race organ at
Greensboro have planted their anti
Brower banner deep in the soil and
more do they cherish the idea of
teaching him a lesson that he will
remember. It is their intention as
far as j-our writer can obtain informa
tiom, of remaining in a strict organ
ization until election day, and then
turn out in a body, go to the polls
and there work to keep the colored
voters from voting a ticket for Con
gress. They declare, in the words
of their leaders, that "the Republi
can party must be purged of this
political parasite" and it now seems
as if it will be done. One of Brower's
most intimate friends from Surry
county was here three days ago and
declared that he had already given
up Granville county to our glorious
uncle Baldy. 'Rah for Democracy
in the old Fifth. Let the grand ball
roll on.
Read what a Republican corres
pondent from Person county o the
North States says: "The Farmers'
Alliance in this county will no longer
listen to demagogues and low down
politicians. They will heed no longer
the cry of over production, and will
vote and think for themselves, re
gardless of the old political parties.
They will take Vance's advice, and
will abstain from politics and vote
independently, regardless of party
affiliation. The gallant "Baldy," as
he is sometimes called, will be left in
this and Granville counties. His
steal into the Legislature, hi rail
road work and his hipocriticjl Alli
ance proclivities make his prclspects
grow dim, dim, dim. That rap who
delivered us from democratic rule
and mill, Hon. John M. Brower, will
get there, and don't you forget it."
You go ahead with your lying racket
on Baldy Williams, the peoples true
friend, and you will forget that the
man who became so low down? as to
want to place bayonet rule o!er the
South leaving the North free eer ran
for Congress in the Fifth district as
Williams will bury him so deep it
will be impossible to resurrect him.
