MOEG-AN HITS HAED. '! ? i On the Prostitution of Alliance. Its False Leaders Severely Scored. I A Strong Letter from the Alabama 0 Senator?The Truth Expressed in Admirable Style?Hard Licks, but They are )f Deserved, iw United States Senator Morgan of Alabama was recently severely cen sured by Mr. Adams, the President 2 of the Alabama Alliance, for his opposition to the sub-treasury scheme. This has elicited a letter from Senator Morgan, in which he says: Whoever is interested in knowing what has been, and is, my opinion of the Farmers' Alliance, will find, in all that I have said or written, the spirit of respect or approval. The change of that organization into a political machine, which politicians were trying to accomplish for personal ends, has caused me to feel the most serious apprehensions as to the safety of the South. I mean its safety politically, socially and financially, ir I have felt, too deeply, the actual danger of the situation to have spoken of the disease as a humbug, or of the i action of our people in rashly expos9 ing themselves to its ravages, as a pretense or fraud, through which to gain power for the fanners over all other classes. I consider the Farmers' Alliance arid the politicians' alliance quite as g distant as "the loyal league" was from the Democratic party, although all Democrats at that time professed *s sincere loyalty to the Union. Mr. Adams, in the assault made upon me at Brundidge, quotes me as having said that "the sub-treasury was a fraud and a humbug." If I said this anywhere it must have been at Anniston, as that is the only speech I have made since Con gress adjourned. I desire to get your recollection whether in that speech I said anything of the sort, and, if so, what was it? I have been very careful not to ye give utterance to any epithet about the ^ treasury sceme, because I satf*dlll!^*eelle2i4 men* given it consideration as a proper remedy for our financial troubles. I hoped that a discussion of this plan in good I temper would be had. I knew such 4 treatment would soon leave it shorn te of all its plausibility?a naked hum* bug. The men who support this scheme are not, as a rule, desirious of anything that is unjust or dangerous in ^ legislation. They are deceived as to its merits and have not seen that it is in plain opposition to the consti : tution. Thev will soon rectify their * opinions, and this illusion will pass away as thousands of such fantasies have done. I should be glad to except Mr. st Adams, who is supposed to hold a ?* dignified and responsible relation tc st our people, from the class "whc ^ know the right yet the wrong pursue," but his latest utterances anc] performances indicate that in except ing him I would either overrate his ta good sense or I would underrate his honesty. ^ I have said nothing heretofore ,i_ about him or his opinions, because J did not know either him or his opiu ions. The sub-treasury scheme die not originate with Mr. Adams, anc I could have referred to it freely with - out calling the attention of any hu mail being to liiin. That scheme is 7 of Republican origin, and was im ported in the South as "a tub to th< whale." It was brought to the Soutl f w only for the purposes of mischie and to deceive an honest, true auc qq confiding people. 00 It has nearly accomplished its mis sion, which is to divide our poopl< and to ferment strife between them lt* and it is about to give place to th< demand for "something better" tha is to be furnished by those who ar " excluded from the Alliance, and ar fi still held responsible to its demands 1 I believe that it is the least sen si I ble and most impracticable plan o M finance that I ever heard of. Yet, i I addresses itself with plausibility ti think it is the business c \ '^rnment to conduct a paw \ ?8 shop. It is deception tha ^cas been already condemned by th at quiet judgment of every com mo sense man who has studied it. But I have not denounced it in th ,*h terms that it deserves, because man good people have thought that i e>3- possessed ret merit and were quietl uncovering its wickedness in thei ^ own way. Now that it is perishin, ; under the withering influence of th JJ* light of truth and sound reason th 1111 mem who invenied and matured it i a darkened recess and demanded th political death of every man wli does not support it are crying out t the great political parties of tb country and all the statesmen "if tb ! sub-treasury will not save tho ooun- ; try giye us something better." If j I that "something better" should be : i given in answer to this demand, i ! would those who furnished it be ad- j i mitted to the Farmers" Alliance as ! | worthy brethren, although they , might be railroad men, lawyers, j I judges, merchants or bankers? nPl-,,0 A?v>A id o flist. ! I-*- uxo viciiiaxiu ao u \ \/44?v the Alliance politicians have 11c con j fidence in the Alliance sub treasury, j They already demand of the outsiders that they shall provide "some thing better." I insist that it is too late to call a consultation of doctors after they have crammed their "kill or cure" bolus down the throats of . the people and find that they need "something better." If they were statesmen why did ! they not see that the country would need "something better" when they took the world in hand to cure it of 11 * 1 j ail 01 Its HIS Hiiu mm luitira. Mr. Adams knows, I think, that I , regard his political course as very dangerous to the welfare of our people, and he makes no miske when he, as President of the Alliance, singles me out as a firm and fearless opponent of the deception he is practicing upon the people. He need not have delayed his at tack until he could find a pretext for assailing me in retaliation for something I had been incorrectly reported as having said about the sub-treasury. His attack has been provoked by nothing but that I would steadfastly oppose any scheme that had for its j purpose the destruction of the Dem- j ocratic party and the dishonoring of ; its proud record as the preserver of 1 the rights and liberties of the people. Mr. Adams can now assail me as a defender of that party, if he thinks proper to do so, and he can now assert that I have said that, in my opinion, the sub-treasury scheme ' is a humbug, and that, if he under1 stands its effect and the purposes with which it was introduced into the South, he is doing the country a 1 serious wrong in advocating it. The Baby is Dead! ? - ?1 A Touching Story Tearfully and Impressively Told. The Basic (Va..) Advance, i Within a darkened room, with curtains closely drawn, the sands of a little life are hastening to their end. Two big brown eyes look up from the fevered pillow with sad appeal for help that cannot come. Baby curls > have gathered in ringlets above the ; tiny forehead and the little hands are helpless now. The childish prattle that once echoed through the house j ; silent and the moan of the sufferer ' i breaks^the stillness of the hour. Step | softly; baby's dying! Oh, the gloom and anguish of coming death! The , clock ticks lounder, the whispers , grow more and more subdued and > the light that comes in through the . closed shutters cast a spectral shadow j [ on the wall.

Think of the 3 suffering to those who watch for a i little face pressed against the window f pane and see it not; who listen for 1 the patter of little feet and the lisp of childish words and hear only the - echo of falling clods into a new made grave. Think of empty arms that , clasp no loved one, of teariul eyes q that look in vain, and of aking hearts t that long for a dear famaliar face, e and you will understand the grief and e silence of the tomb, j.

Only ,f the light of a little life, given and n taken in love, has gone out, but the .t great shadows that rise from little e graves rest dark and pall like upon n the hearts of those who miss the sunbeam.

Knocked Out by McAllister on the : First Round. How the Two "Wings of the Alliance J *"? i j i i r: | Hopped xogemer miuississippi j A Sensational Encounter in which the Hip Pocket Sub-Treasury Play ed a Part. From the Nashville American. Durant, Miss., August 29.?This town is all excitement to-night over a personal difficulty which occurred in the office of the "West House between the Hon. W. S. McAllister and Dr. C. W. Macune, editor of the National Alliance Economist, of "Washing, D. C., both of whom arrived on the incoming evening train from Starkville, having been in attendance upon the State Alliance, now in session at that place. Lecturer McAllis ter was to-day arraigned, convicted and expelled by the State Alliance because of his opposition to the subtreasury scheme and exposure of the official corruption of C. TV. Macune, who, it seems, had a great deal to do with the summary AND UNPRREOEDENTF.D TREATMENT meted out to McAllister by whispering it around in secret caucusse3 of Alliance members that McAllister was bought up by "Wall street and the subsidized press and was exerting his influence to destroy the Farmer's Alliance. Lecturer McAllister to-day, in his ? a** nl An /-? ? r^plU'UtiUIl l/U lilt) ai UtlCO ui luijygav ument preferred against him by the State Alliance, averred that Dr. Macune scld out to Pat Calhoun last year in the Georgia Senatorial contest for ?2,000, and that Macune had robbed the Texas Alliance of ?30,000 or more while manager of the Texas Alliance Exchange. On the train this evening from Starkville to this point a gentleman questioned Dr. Macune concerning Lecturer McAllisters averments against him, to which Dr. Macune replied: "If he says I sold out to Patrick Calhoun he has lied." This reached McA^ster just be afore reaching hei^^mjEorumeetic^ I Dr. Macune, McAlhsW' said: "Dr. Macune, I understand you charged in the Alliance at Starkville that I was bought out by Eastern capitalists /-V lwaolr nn fVio AllinnOP flDfl that IV/ uicaa. *"*?/ ? you denounced me this evening as a liar." Dr. Macune shook his head and walked off, saying: "I have NOTHING TO SAY TO YOU, SIR." Mr. McAllister cautiously flanked around in front of him, saying, "D?n you, you have got to meet the incidiary issues you have raised against me with misguided ignorance." Dr. Macune replied: "What else could I do hut treat your statement as I did?" As quick as lightning McAllister struck Dr. Macune BETWEEN THE EYES, which caused him to wheel around like a horse with the blind staggers. "When Dr. Macune began to recover j McAllister squared himself and struck with all his power, when Dr. Macune ducked his head, receiving a glancing blow on his, by this time, | frenzied cranium. The combatants j were clinched. McAllister, recognizing the supeI rior strength of his antagonist, ! wrenched loose like a limberjack and | struck Dr. Macune in the mouth, | which caused him to tall back, wnen i i he was caught by hotel proprietor J. j ! C. Hill, who got in between them. I I Here Dr. Macune threw his right hand on his hip pocket as if to draw a pistol, when McAllister in a flash ; presented arms, saying, "Now, you I d?n mercenary , let her i * ', ! go, Gallagher," at the same time facj ing his antagonist with a terrible deI termination in his eyes. Dr. Macune then threw up his ! hands and said, "Don't, I am done I I with it.' By this time a number ! had reached the scene and interfered ! for peace, when the excited storm ! subsided. Democratic Creed. i The following is Congressman Mills' eloquent and beautiful peroration to the great speech recently delivered before a tremendous audience at Stftten Island, N. Y., ontheuDemocratic Creed:" "Jefferson sleeps, but the princi j plea he proclaimed still live, irom I the day he entered the House of Burgesses to the day that he entered that narrow house on the Mou.it of Monticello, by all his acts and utter auces, he dedicated this land to libj erty and self-government as the i means of preserving it. Not to lib! erty in some thing and at some times, , but liberty in all things and at all times, and in all conditions and among all colors and nationalities of men: libeny from the furtherest point in the frozen zones of the North to the furtherest point of perpetual summer in the South: liberty from ocean to ocean and from earth to skies: liberty to lhe and liberty to pursue our utvn imppuiess ui uwi u?u "aj'; ixu .erty to work and liberty to sell the produce of our labor when and where we please: liberty to buy, liberty to eat and drink and wear the things we buy or make; liberty to think and lib erty to utter what we think. In one word, the ^uid has been consecrated, purified and set apart as the home of free people, and if we are to be true to ourselves and true to the precepts of our fathers we will continue to grow in piosperity and hand down, vmirrmnLired- flip rmpplpss heritage of our children and our children's children in all the generations to come." ?

If this is so, the Governor actually saves annually for the people who put him in office somewhere between $500 and $1,000. If he should ever rise to explain, it will be a genuine thunder clap from a cloudless sky.

They Should Not Be Taxed By The Legislature, So Says a Bachelor. He Discusses a Legislative Bill. Atlanta Journal. The following card was send to the Journal office this morning by a well know in bachelor town, who is ''one of the boysr 1 see that some member of the leg islature has introduced a bill taxing bachelors from $25 to $200 a year. This is all wrong, and should be set down on by the friends of justice. Why, should we be taxed for that which we cannot avoid? We are not bachelors through choice, but necessity. We trid to persuade our sweeti i < i J "I . . _ J neart to marry us, out sue married the other fellow. Is it right for us to he taxed for his pleasures and our misfortunes'? Ho enjoys the companionship of our former sweetheart, hears the sweet music of love every day poured into his willing ears, while we wander weak and weary through the world and sad dreary. He knows how sweet it is to hear his little children cry for bread and soothing syrup, while we are deaf to the tenderest emotions of the human heart. He enjoys a well furnished room, decorated in the most charming style, while we live in garrets with insects for our companions. Alas! Alas! Is it right to make us pay taxes when all the married men have all the joy and happiness on earth? They are the rulers of an empire with a queen and obedient subjects, while, "there are none so poor as to do us reverence." They hold the best places in society, while we stand ostracized, as it were, and live a life of isolation. Looked upon with suspicion while living, in death the bachelor hss no one to decorate his grave with flowers of affection. Yet the Georgia legislature is asked to add another pang to our drooping hearts and lacerated affections. If he should in after years of loneliness wish to seek a helpmate to crown his declining decade with feminine "ilKS5onffuoh?7 tile" Wurhi says he is selfish or mercenary in his dotage. The old look upon him with suspicion and the young with fear. No joy o contentment is reserved for him. The married man can take a box at the theatre while we sit in the gallery with the bootblacks. In business or pleasure he is preferred to us and is the recipient of marked roornanf pafppm Wp TIPpd all the protection we can get, instead of persecution. We are the balance wheel of society, and our helpmates are the old maids, so called, but ii reality, angeles of earth. Were it not for our earnest endeavors to up hold society in all its varied pleasures, it would sink into a state of innocuous desuetude. It is an old maxim, and worthy of acceptation among men, that those who dance must pay the tiddler. ^ * "i il - Uurseives ana companions are me wall flowers and decorate and adorn as well as uphold and sustain the beauty and glory of every social entertainment. For what is earth, with all its social pleasures, without us? Yet we are to be taxed for extracting a little honey from the social cup. When we contemplate that we are deprived of 4 o'clock festivals or singing matinees, and for these privileges denied, and the ecstatic joys of which we are bereft, the legislature of Georgia is asked to tax us $200 a year, it seems a usurpation of oui inalienable rights. "While we do not u ring an alarm bell at midnight, 01 1 listen to the cry, "strike a match, hubby," nor the pathetic cry of a youngster in the agonies of spas modic colic, yet we put the legisla ture on notice now that we are s ! power in the land, and while thej j are striking "matches," attending to "colic" cases and "night matinees," we will be looking after the we'fare of the commonwealth.
