"^rely point.
Ii is absurd to raise such an objection.
The practical quest on as to whether I Inlitigation
of the Slate wiil suffer by having
only two Judges. who may differ, is :.
serious one. And yet. we do not for lhi.*
reason btlieve the Legislature should lit
convened. 1 lie cui>e . f South Carolina is
too lunch legislation, and when the Legislature
begins to turn the hopper there is
no telfinjr when if-will stop. The possible '
harm of not having a full Court is mere
than counterbalanced by this possible danger.
We inf *r there ate certain candidate?
who would like !o hare it convened, and
whose claims for the position are based
more upon political work and reward than
q edification and fitne-s. There are two
of them named who are fair lawyers, but
l etter politicians, and it is lime to draw
the line somewhere on this rewarding services
in the last campaign, and while
suffering and disinterested putilots should,
on the principle of tu the victor belong I he
snoils. have their sop, yet, when we come
-i ?
to the Judiciary of the State, we should
cry :i halt ard draw a Imp. If there is a
\*heki?ah" in our temple, ii is the (tench,
nud no greaier calamity can befall us than
to prostitute its] purity, impair its dirtily,
lessen its force, or depreciate its timehonored
sanctity, than by making it the
reward for mere political service. ;
In the days .of South Carolina's liumiliat
ion, such cattle as the Radicals, in a
majority ?>f instance:*. with here and there
a uutiw- rthy exception, put on the Bench
ijr political serrh-e and striking, should
f-raver warn us fic-m iveu hi a measure
uJ.ptiujr the i.tutiulfc of uctior.. The

no man should over l o t.lle to u; tribute

on the Supreme tribunal, the Ccm r ct

little this position with Urn, would be!
equivalent to cicthitij a Satyr with the j
l.td/dimeiits of a Hyperion.
This brings us to the question a? to who

our judgment, the best in the State. Elected
to the Chief Justiceship iu lsfd, he declined
the office because hi* sense of honor

No better indication can be had as to his

policy, we must have.
LEGISLATIVE REFORM.
1
Our legislative demands hav* been I
treated with imJiii'ercneo aud ridicule, j
They mut-r he enforeed by practical
methods. \\ lieii our demands ure ignored
by legislative bodies wo must
enforce them at the ballot box by
electing men who are in sympathy j
with onr demands. The success of the;
reform party in our own state was so- ]
cured by the unity of the Alliance.
Without this organization the Far-!
liters' Movement would have been a
failure. This fact will cause the favored
eltic-sos to vigorously antagonize
tho Alliance; monopolistic corporations
aud their attorneys will leave no
stone unturned to nip reform in the
bud !>y destroy'tig this organization.
They will co'Jf.antly A vara us of the
danger < f
POLITICAL ACTION
by the Alliance. ''Insidious and powerful
influences are seeking to divert
us from the high purposes and grand
objects for which we were organized."
Our greatest danger is from intrigues
and treachery from foes who join, our
order for tho nefarious purpose of
creating dissension within the body
"Our principles must lind" their city
of refuge "in the loyal hearts of a devoted
membership." In our declaration
of principles we announce thai
wo are "to labor for the education of
the agricultural classes in tho science
of economical government iu a strictly
uon partisan spirit and to bring about
a more perfect union of said classes."
The burners of our organic law in this
declination distinctly assert tho political
feature of our organization.
While we do not cuter the eess-pod
of politic* ox nominate men as candidates,
of the Alliance, yet we will
act as a unit in the support of measures
formulated by the Alliance to
"ai-rv i.i-.f it t r.niift;jlt>5. "Farmers

In my list quarterly address I called
your attention to the necessity for
increasing the e fficiency of our public
school* by extending the toroi, and
by adopting iirw t(xr. books, and sng-1
gested that a uniform series of books
bo adopted by several states, and that
state^approptiations bo made for the
publication of said books, and that
tLoy be fcold at actual cost to the pn{)ils
attending the free public schools
of the State.
An Act was passed at onr last General
Assembly which will in part enriv
out this suggestion, |t provides
for the adoption of a uniform series:
of text-hooks and the publication of
the sumo, An ignorant ballot is dangerous
to the liberties, of tlie people.
Therefore since the Statu has adopt-1
ed the free school system tt should j
furnish sufficient money by judicious j
tuxatiou to rnako the system a success, I
and we us members of the Alliance !
should aid ail efforts made by the
State to increase the educational facilities
of the common free schools.
Educate the "aornnion people;"?the
farmers?the producers of wealth that
cast 7o per cent, of the ballots in our
own State, and pay SO per cent, of the
taxes of tho nation wpijo they only
own per cent, of its wealth. Ignorance
and a cent ralized money power
is tho forerunner of tho downfall of
Republics as well as other nations.
Egynt fell whe n 3 per cent, of her population
owned'Jo per cent; of het
