FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1892. Tub Senate has been giving hearing to the proposed amendments of the Constitn. lion during the part week, making it lawful for U. S. Senators to be elected by the voto cf the people. On Tuesday Jan. the 19th many of th business houses of North Carolina and other Southern States were closed, it being the birth day of Geu. Kobert E. Lee, and it having been made a legal holiday bj an act of the last General Assembly. Though dead this noble character yet lives in the hearts of his countrymen. The Carolina Dispatch has been launch ed out upon the turbulent , waters of the jeurnalitio sea at Hertferd, with A. W. Jordan and 0. H. Horton as editors, with "Equal rights to all and special priveleges to none," us their motto We extend to the Dispatch a hearty welcome wishing it unbounded success in the good work it ha taken to do. May it be instrumental in revealing light to the good farmer in this and other States and thereby lead them triumphant from under the yoke of oppres sion placed upon them by the money kings of the country. That we must go to war with Chili is now looked upon as a settled thing. ILe Chilian Govern meat don't seem inclined to do the fair thing, though we 1 have been waiting patiently for three Icngmonths. It has been suggested that the matter be settled by arbitration, but in reply to this suggestion Prebident Harrison is reported as saying "When a man spits in my fane what ii there to arbitrate ?" lie is right. and the best way to deal with thut niau is to go for him with gloves ff. . It Chili don't regret the outrage eoutuuitt ed by her people upon our tailors, and will not oiler some apeiogy, then it is time for ocr Government lo resent the insult. Chili has had time enough to consider the matter and make some effort to settle it without war if she had bsn so disposed. While we are ardent admirers of Grover Cleveland and firmly believe that if nomi nated be could lead the Democratic party to victory in 1892, yet we agree with the New Yoik Herald that it is net wise for the Democratio party to center ail its hopes on Cleveland as the only possible nominee, we have other able men whose names should be considered. It is not just to Gorman, , Vilas, Gray, Campbell and other able State- men, to have Mr. Cleveland's name consid ored Jone. It is not safe for the Demo. cratic part to tie itself to any one man be fore the convention meets. As the Herald truly says "it dampens the ardor and en. th u si asm of the party to let it see but one mun. A one man party has only defeat and disgrace before it. Tne Kepubkcan leaders saw this wneu they resisted the atteit.pt to make theirs a mere Grant party. , They loretaw that even tnat great and august name could not carry them to victory. To make a C.eveland party out of the Demo, cratic party would be still more surely dis astrous. If the Herald urges these considerations strenuously ihis is not that it underestimates Mr. Cleveland's qualities, but because we detsire to warn the Democrats away Ironi the edge t a dangerous pit. Generals are put in command to win battles. If Mr, Cleveland can better und more Mirely than any other man carry the JbetnocMtie party to success next year then he onght to be nominated, but the question whether he can deserves io be freeiy, openly, candidly nod honestly discussed by the Democrats in the meantime." MAKE TOUR COMPOST Mwure should be carefully aaved, best under shelter where rains cannot reach it, nor sua overheat it. It is the best baiais we can have for a compost, as in ferment ing it aids decomposition in the other mate riuis of the compost which need it. For a corn or cotton compost the following is a good formula for a ton : fc table manure .600 lbs Kainit 200 " Acid Phosphate ttoO " . Cation seed ....400 " . If your soil is rocky, or has red clay sub soil, as is tne case iu many localities of the . ceutral aud western sections of the Btate, the kaiuit may be lessened and the quantit) of stable manure increased Iu the sandy soils oi the east, Kaiuit is essential and may be increased Its value as a mat preventive is well known Where cotton seed Uital is handy ust it in place of Cottod seed in half the quantity Lay down under shelter some of the manure, then a layer of acid phos phate, then cotton seed sprinkling each layer with kainit disolved in water uutii all materials are used up Wet the heap if it Leaut If the manure id well rotted the heap fchoaJd staud three or four weeks To thoroughly kill the seed then mix well be lore using 11. ii Batilc, N.

TiiE FINA ANSWER- In the fifteenth number of the National Economist, the editer of that paper gives his thoughts on a question of much iui portance to the members of the Farmers Alliance, and especially to those of that order who advocate a "thiid party.'' He saj : The readers of the Economist have never been in doub ss to its position upon any great question of principle it has been conservative and uou partisan, but firm ind decidedly aggressive on ail reform ques tions. But there are some who are anxious- ly and impatiently waiting to see whether the rLCouoniut will, arer the February meeting, cows out end advocate the new part;, which it seems probable will be en dorsed there, or whether it will urge the mtuiDtrHttp to make tha reform fitht in the two old parties It i a good time uow to answer tins question and settle all doubt Once for all. then, let it be known that the Economist will not pursue either course : it will keep squarely in the middle of the road marked out by the supreme Council To advocate any party is partismistn, and the Ecouomist, as the national official organ, has no right to commit the Order to partisan action The Supreme Council ltselt could not do that; the membership alone have that power It is important that the situation be v. el: understood beiore delegates start to the February meeting Tne whole quest iou as to the future course of the national organ, the future position of the Supreme Council, and the duty of the national officers, depends upon one thing, and that is, "can the Farmers Alliance a an organization consolidate with or organize a political party ? ' Unqaes. uonably it can not 1 Because such consolidation cr coa lition would make such party a class party. or more properly, no party, bat a political faction 2. Because the Farmers Alliance as an orgonizttiou would cease to exist : the mo. meut it yielded sovereignty as a farmer's organization it would become something else 3. Because to merge with any one party would drive those bslongiai' to all other parties out of the O.der and that is contrary to the fundamental principles of the organization It seems to be generally conceded, both by Alliance men and by those most eager for the success oi tne ludependnt nartv movement, that there can be no consolida tion of the Ailiauce with any political party Both can not be supreme; neither can be subordinate; and therefore to attempt to consolidate them is death to one. This is a statement that all must admit; it is abso lutely iacoutrovertible Th recognition of these facts tends to develop a cot.coptiou of the necessity of work on the part of Alliance officers and members during the coming year, to pre serve the Order from the disorganizing effects of a fierce political contest. There are two ways in which a political contest has influence upon the Order ; one is by direct conflict and antagouism, and the other is by centering so much partisan feeling and interest in the political conflict an to leave the Order' neglected and over looked. These two effects must be felt more during tho coining struggle of 1892 than ever before, because in addition to the two old political parties, which have neither accepted nor rejected the Alliance demands, there win be a new political party, which iu accept ana contend lor the principle advocated by the Alliance, and therefore will have a better aaini npon Alliance mmb?r. This, with the Alliance reneata- ing, as above shown necessary, non-parti san. is highly dangerous because of the probability of conflict between the Order and the new party. All political parties by agitating interest apd work for their cause will alike tend to draw interest away from the 1 Alliance, . but the danger .of conflict with the' new party is most to be feared because many of its members will be mem bers of .the Order,, and conflict with that party would partake in some degree of internal dissension. - The; danger of confliot with the new party lies in the fact that some Alliance men believe that the Order should only be a co-operative and fraternal organization, and that those who are seek" ing reform by polit.ca methods should, for the good of the Order, desist and tarn their efforts to united action on these lines. There are others who ee no hope of re form' except by political methods, and think the Order h m no mission except to establish a new political party, and believe that should be done, even if necessary to dUbund the A'liance as a separate ergani zaiiou in order to succeed The former believe the new party stands in the way of the prosperity of the Order, aud the latter believe that the Order stands in the way of the rapid growth of the new party. Both sides are wrong. The Order has announced a set of demands which are the basis of all reform iu this country to-day,-and stands pledged to try and secure the enactment of th demaudr into law That is the object of fit st importance, which must be urged npou all political parties like The Alii, anoe is a school in which principles are tan ht and agreed upon, aud the destruc tion of the Order would be fatal to the reform movement. Those who would destroy th -rder to build up the new party would kill the goose that laid the golden egg Political action is simply a question of method in securing the great principles advocated by the Alliai ce The right is for the principles by whatever laudable method promises most sncoess. 'iLese considerations show conclusively that the crowLing responsibility upon the official organ, the officers of the Order, aud the membership, is to rssist the disorganizing effects of these conditions and do battle for the Order aud in principles, encouraging every btate and every section to use such methods as are best adapted to secure sac. cess with them but contending that fealty to the principles of truth contained in the Alliance demands should bo greater than tealty to party, old or Dew Ibe Economist will continue the war on evil in all its forms wherever found. It will give the aews without partisan prejudice or bias, and will criticise from a tre and economio Standpoint the record made by all parties, old or new. It will make the family wiser and better by its weekly visits, without bringing in th gossip cf society, cr the sectional hatred of partisan politics- it will spend its every energy in battling for the Farmers Alliance, content if that fail to go down with it and fnjoy the honor of a common grave.
