The 3fairfield County Alliance met in the Court House 011 Monday, July 6. A full attendance of delegates from the various sub-Alliances were present, in addition to a large number of members of the order from the different Alliances throughout the county. The entire proceedings were private, | but the officers elected for the ensuing ! rear and the delegate to the State Alliance were given to the press. The officers elected were as follows: President?D. P. Crosby. *n t\r t v x resiucxii??t . j-i. MU5UW1WUJJII. Secretary?Jl. A. ilea res. Treasurer?Louis T. Wilds. Lccturer?J. if. Galloway. Stevrard?E. Y. Lemmon. Door Keeper?S. M. Itafiles. Delegate to State Alliance?J. M.| Galloway. President. ,T. Win. Stokes was! ~ , in attendance and delivered a lecture before the Alliance. After the meeting adjourned our reporter had an interview with Dr. Stokes in his room in the hotel, the result of which is published herewith. . It is greatly to be regretted by both I Dr. Stokes and the reporter that the time of the Doctor was limited, he bavin? to leave on the north-bound I train. The following are the points of Dr. Stokes' address. He stated that the Ailiance had seven demands to mate on the law-making powers of the land j as follows: 1. The financial demand, abolishing- i national banks and the establishment of I a flexible currcncy and land loan j currency to an amount sufficient to j increase the circulation up to $50 per capita. 2. Prohibition of speculation in | agricultural products. 8. For free and unlimited coinage | of silver. j 4. Prohibition of alien ownership of : lands in the United States. o. Tariff reform. 6. Government control of railroads and telegraph lines. 7 t)ia nf ITnitcd States I Senators by a direct rote of the people. While the Alliance is urging- all of these reforms more stress is being kid : upon the reform in financial affairs at the present time than the ethers, because they believe the present reduced circulation is the chief cause of (he ?iic r.f noriMfMiUnval r>or>ulation. 1110 VA" l,MV "? i"i Of the financial demands, they are stressing the claim of the flexible currency or sub-treasury bill for the reason that it has been more violently and persistently attacked than any other by the money trust, and this is evidence in their judgement of the fact that it does furnish the needed relief; this is evidenced \tv the further fact that some of the most prominent and efficient financiers of the land have admitted the necessity and desirability of the flexibility of the currency proposed by the Alliance. Mr. Atkinson, in the North American Revieic, David M. j Stone, Editor ol the New York Journal j of Commerce, writing in the Juhj Forum, ! and the Editor of the New York Fi- j nancial Record, have admitted the ne cesiity of seme such quality in the j currency. There are others equally prominent who fully agree with the foregoing, though most or all of them think there is a better way; though, with the exception ef Mr. Stone, they have not outlined Mr. Stone has inggested a system of banks that might meet the necessity if properly arranged, mougu uis yiau jo ^um, . crude as theysnb treasnry plan, and | I 1 . U., 1. ^ f tUn j leaves UiC CUiurui Jit iui; nanus ui uib | money power instead of in that of the ! producer. This is a fatal fault in his I system. The Alliance lias always been favor| able to any better plan that will en| compass tiic same end proposed by the I ub-treasury bill. The Alliance does not endorse any ! political party and will not do so. A3 | to its relation to the Democratic party, : while its members in the Sonth are : almost exclu>ively Democrats, it is a 1 different fhtnrr from the DemO | cratic party. Its principles are all | Democratic in the broadest sease, and it is ridiculous to talk about reading: ! an allianceman out of the Democratic | party as suggested by Congressman ! Gates, of Alabama, besause he believes ; in t lie sub-treasury plan. It would be I just as proper to read an anti-free | coinage Democrat out of the party | before the Democratic convention or primaries as it would be to read a j sub-treasury Democrat out of the j party. : At the conclusion of the interview, I I which was a hurried one, owing to ! want of time, Dr. Stokes, who iseditor of the Cotton rhmt, said that Tiic| News and JIcrali> was a welcome visitor to his office; that he considered it one of the best county papers in the State; and as far as leading matter was concerned it furnished as much if not more than any other county paper. lie was very much surprised to know that in addition to furnishing such a large weekly paper, Tiie News axd Herald published a trl-weekly edition. ?Mii-tle M.

REVIEW Of The News and Herald for tho- Paxt "Some Eighteen Month#" by K?r. I?? Herbert Jones In Which He Fails to TroTe "What He Charges. C Tri- Weekly News and Herald, July 2.) Messrs. Editors: In handing you this communication, I simply and rcsioect-1 fully, as a citizen of this town, protest against the discrimination made in ';Tiie News and Herald*' between things moral and religious, and things otherwise. j I knew something of the difficulties I besettin? the newspaper man, andean, and do appreciate the efforts made in furnishing the public with the current events of a community. And, furthermore, I am not one t? complain about the management of a newspaper, nor ofler suggestions as how such an institution should be run. But Ida most earnestly and respectfully call to your attention certain facts -which unquestionably exist, and which in my humble opinion arc operating against the highest and best interest of flii* people. There, is, apparently, a spirit of passive antagonism Manifested toward the spiritual welfare of this town. This I have noticed since my arrival here some eighteen months ago. Xow, sirs, there is a large Christian element in this place, and I am not afraid to assert that this element does more to support the town itself, and your journal too, than any other,' yet, they are greeted very painfully often Dy allusions ana coinpnuicni?? notices of things and measures which outrage their religious feelings. "While very seldom indeed, if ever such notice is given to things which go to the formation of a better and healthier [ sentiment. Your two iirsfc issues of I last week are no exceptions of this ! seemingly general rule. One of the Christian churches here ! had arranged and advertised a series of religious meetings. A clergyman was invited to conduct these, and came well endorsed as a Christian gentleman and able preacher cf the gospel of i ? ^ umist. ICl, auriil" uiu tvinjit; uiuc of his stay aiul service no mention of him nor his work was made in the newspaper. ... . During the same time a ball was in progress.

Editors: Your editorial of' this morning is >o exquisitely withering blighting, demolishing, annihilating so fall of logical concluiions and rhetorical flights, withal so manly, that at first I almost felt "snowed under." T e-n enrnriap/^ will If i 21111 UVli 3V ^ 1 VWti T the mercury is ranging so hifh, to find your whole editorial space surcharged with caloric. In itself, that editorial of two and a quarter columns, laid before a fair minded man is sufficient to condemn y?u as incapable of dealing fairly with a respectable protest from v. citi7.en of this community*. I suppose it was intended to go to the public this morning- as an awful warning to any mau who, in the future dares to criticise in however friendly and respectful a manner, the menu of the local column of The New?: and Herald. My! what a quietus those two and a quarter columns was expected to put upon the kicker against the pabulum dosilt out by this tri-weekly. I trust the public will bear in mind ~1",n narnit thaf mastarlT refii nuuu UiVj |;viw?v J tation of charge which were never ( made, that t>?? Quixotic editors had much spare lime on hand iu which to compose the same. I am perfectly willing to leare to any intelligent, fair-mindtd man to say whether all this stufi crammed into these two and a quarter columns of editorial, is a just arraignment *f my communication; and whether or not the whole thing does not smack of tw cnirit of unfairness which al -ways ripens irhere no compefitioc exists. The very ''grave'' oflense and "sweeping charges'' that I hare made against the paper, yrhich called for all this expenditure of editorial genius, is, after summing up, "apparently a spirit of passive antagonism manifested toward the spiritual welfare of this town." Is there anything m your two ana a .a quarter columns to disprove that? You hare gone clear out of your way, aad from the facts to contort this charge into an onslaught upon the virtue and truthfulness of The Xews and Herald; upon the "chivalry, culture and refinement" of our people; aid upon the "high-minded women*7 of this fair town. All this is contrary to the aesthetics of journalism, and is holster ui? a bad case UVUU 1MVI ?? ? ?A in the abience of argument, and to enlist the sympathetic support of thoee who mar be antagonized toward my communication br the high coloring of these imaginary offences. You have failed, probably unintentionally, to comprehend the pur '* "* ?iinninni/>Q!inll f hiVP pui I Ut IUV wuiuiuiiivu?4v?. - not charged there that the ''Larap of truth has never passed along the pathway of The S'ews aud Herald." This is fine! Brother, did you origi[ nate this poetic figure? There is certain: y more poelrv in it, than justice in the charge. Now hare I charged any fellow citizen with any crime, in M?y?n ii an mm m mm i? ?m ? a ?1 a 1 f r^^i. ^ KftrA K/iAn ni'Atpn'Pii Jit ittCL 11W UIJA naiv t/vvu , all, other thau the ''apparently passive antagonism" &c., and 'all that fetuff in the latter paragiaphs of column no. 1 of the two and a quarter column?, is like many other things in your editorial irrelevant, and therefore nonsensical in this correction. My friend?, this kiud of thing is neither smirt nor manly. As to the only real charge of my respectful protest, and I use the worn respectful again to keep before you that which is go sadly lacking in your editorial, the real objection is the apparent 1 'passive antagonism toward the spiritual welfare of the town.*' Let me say here, that others with myself have noticed the discrimination made iu such matters as temperance and spirituality. And such ringing of the charges on "some eighteen months ago," and expressions as "what does the man mean" coming from editors claiming membership in the church of Christ, of which your correspondent is a minister, does not so a very long j way to help out the christian spririt (?) with which this editorial breathes. If there is any amusement in progress or in anticipation, be it a circus, ! dance, theatrical or any thing else, ! these receive more attention from the press than special church services. The former you will hardly fail to rccosrnize as nort-spiritual. ! The frequency of this is what has i "shocked" me and others. Tjtv News and Herald is a secular journal, yet circulates among religious people, and all such things as church meetings, revival service*, temperance affairs are interesting to them, and be come, in tkeir bearing upon the whole people, of secular interest. Of course, I agree, that a private ! enterprise should be conducted -accordI ing to the chosen methods of its managers; yet a newspaper is very largely a public concern, and as sncb th? public has the right to protest against methods which are not fairly representative. Anything-, even that which menaces (he moral and spiritual welfare of a cemmnnitr, certainly lias the right to advertise it; bat when complimentary notice is given to it in the Joctl columns, without any "ad." mark?, it "ntimates that the compliment tendc.od is given by the publishing firm. I don't know how i; is with other churches in the town, but scarce ]y anything is given to !he public concerning the church I represent, but what i.s carried to the office by the pastor or some official member. Xow, Messrs. Editors, towards the end, as if lo crown your mighty effort at editorial argument, yon draw (he "deadly parallel" on me. But ii seems you have made choice of iliie wrong weapon. This is a boomerang, aivd will fly back to wound you. It looks rery demolishing, very, until one examines it. Why did you not publish in your columns what was said in The News and Herald i? the two issues between the 20th and 27th of June? These were the issues to which I referred you. Why put in yourcolumus an article which* appeared before the meeting: commenced, and one after the services were closed? That meeting which called forth this deadly parallel was in progress six days, during which time two issues of Thk News- and Hkkai.d appeared; what was said in those two issues? Do you call this justice and truth! Let the public decide. -- In this connection yon mention the notice of the Y. M. C. A. of Union Caff o ?>f flm fliaroA VUUt til ?o a iviiUHiivit VA ?WV V..V. b v ^'passive antagonism toward the spiritual welfare of the town."' How did you slip np so badly when yon hvve trained legal talent at your command? Union Church is not in the town of Wimisbore. Now, geetlemen, the one protest I hare made, and l did this really iu friendly critici8ra, deeming, as we are both public servauts, and desiring the best interest of the community in which we live, is the apparent passive antagonism to that part of the welfare of the town which I represent, the spiritual. This is a simple charge, and when you confine yourselves to the point at isiue, and demand in a respectful way some facts to sustain this, I am prepared to give them from the local columns of The News and Herald.
