NEwnEIIY, S. C., Jlan. 3.- The [ol
lowing article appeared this week in
the Newberry Observer:
Alliance men, our noble Order now
covers thirty-live States, and we have
millions of members. We have a great,
and holy work before us. To lvo a
clear understanding of the obligations
of each one to the other and to the Or
der education is absolutely necessary.
To get that education I invoke you to
subscribe for the National E.conomist,
the oflicial or-gan of the Order, pub
lished at Washington city. It will cost
you only one dollar a year. It is worth
to you more than all the other news
papers put together. You will learn
rom it the principles and demands of
the Order and its great end and aim.
If you do not take it, subscribe at once
for it.
There is great lack of knowledge
among those who ought to be posted.
The following will show the oblig-at0ion
of each member of the Alliance to the
Order and to tloe organizai i0s% wit Ih
vhom we have confederated:
ST. LoUs, 310 , Deceiber (th, 1889.
Agreement made this (lay by and ie(
tween the undersivned collunittec repre
Sienting tho National Farmers' Alliance
and Industrial Union oil tho one( part, and
'the undersigned committee representing
'h Knihts of Labor on the othe r part.
dUI W u-): The udersignee conmnnittee
representing the Knights of Labor having
read the demands of the National Farieis
Alliance and *Industrial Union which are 1
embodied In this agreement, lereby endorse I
the Saine on behalf of the Kniglitts of I,ahm.r,
and for the purpose of givilig practical
effect to the delminnds iel in set forth, the
legislative committees of both organ i zat ions
will act ill concert before Congress for tle I
purpose of securing the enactmeat of laws
in harmony with the denlands miutually
agreed. And it is further agie ed, in order
tocarry out these objects, we will support
'for ollice only such men as canl be depelded
'-upon to exact ties prLineiplese into statute
law uninfluenced -by party eaucus. Na
tional E4conolist, 16. 2, No 4, page 211.
Is it not clear from the albove a1greC
ment that any member of Con-gress who
is a member of the Alliance o(mml1its
perjury if he goes into a caucus of
either of the great parties? I f he is in
any degree inlluenced. by party caucus
he is perjured. There i; no0 escape froiml
it.
On the hecels of.Mr. Irby's election t o
the position of Ilnited States, ,-enator
hie was interviewed by the crepn
dent of Th'le News and Courier, and is
reported as imaking the following state
"I aim going to the Sonate as a Democrat
and in full accord with the Nation i I De
mocracy. I am in full sympathy with the
Alliance, but whatever may lie obtaincd
by me for the Alliance inust lhe -ontiUined
througi the National Democratic party."
Iow (loes this statement (it ir.
Irby's who is the Alliance Iectirer of
Laurens County, compare wvith his
obligations as a menber of the Alli
ance? Is he ignorant of his obligations .
or is his conscience so seared t iat he i.
insensible of his sworn duty ?
Brother Alliancemen, great prin
- ciples and demands are the basis of our
noble Order, and we have before Con
.gress pressing for solution a measure
of financial relief of the greatest mug
nitude. The Alliance is non ipartisall,
but political. It rises high above men
*and parties. It is the creature of the
times andI the condlit ion of the country.
Financial reform is the imperative de
mand. it was that, and not tariff r
form, that caused the recent great
political revolution. Thue peop)le of the
North and Northwest arc sick and tired
growing corn for 12 cents per~ bushePl
atnd raising beef for I cent per pounld.
T1his is only tihe beginning of the rev
olution for the purilication of thle (Gov -
ernent and linancial reformn. Th'ie
time is near at handl when tile (Order w ill
mhoveoutni, taking~ its position, wvill
draw its blade in dlefense of its prinici
pleB andI demands, and, striking right
;and left will spare no foe. Whoever
~falters in the light is a traitor, anid
~should meet the traitors' fate.
To permit a sculrvy fellow, leprous
with crime and withlout anl element of
statesmanship, to wvormi himself by po
- ilitical trickery into high position, is niot
ionly an impediment to the work, but
ii crime agamnst the Order. A major
ity of the members of the General A s
sembly are A lliance menl,andl they could
have elected a clean and able inani to
reprerent our Ordler inl the Senat e and1(
push our measures to success. A1 iw~as
lest by the treason of one mn, Senator
Stokes, president of tile State Alliance.
Ho0w andt why?
On Friday moring, I )eenmber 5, I s.0,
ttile following appeared in1 t lie t'lh:-les

il.ences between mnemnbers. I shall et
aodnlavor, therefore, to confine myself t
his propositions:
1. Col. Keitt holds that an Allian(
man, who is a imeinber of Congres
commits perjury "if he is in any degr
i intlienced by party caucus." In just
Al fication of his charge he quotes a
agreement signed by committees of t1
)et National Alliance and of the Knight

niates, every Alliance is sworn to obsem

*a- this point one canl scarcely help wor
- lering whether Col. Reitt -hms eve
n read the express reservation preceden
t a to the pledge taken by every applican
Le" for initiation and upon which th
le- pledge is conditioned. There are not
.few men in the Order as trie, as honeE
0f .tnl (i fit be not treason to say it) as ir
mi t-lligent and statesniar.ike as Co
f K*eitt, who think that the agreemer
o qiroted by him, in so far as it relates t
I paety Caucus, "conflicts with the frei
loin of their p-olitical views." Thi
quesl1ition has never been 2A4udicate'
and( in cases of conflict of apiaion, el
p Iecially amoug brethren and .equals,
cr cmendable modlesty would .sugge
the suppression of in temperaste-chargel
or- 2. lLis secoind proposition, as weLl r
Sthe thirdl, is a corollary of the firet. an
so'taind or falls with it. The imnputat.
of perjury to Senator irby, theref.e
enis not justilied in the premnises. So'
a tor Irby, wvhose recordl as an Alliane
smain, it seems to me, wvill suffer no dl
hoparagement by comparison even wit
C ol. Ki ett't, proposes to work for th
Alliance demands through me D)em<
tscratic party. Col. Keitt's political com
science is not offended by the parl
whole of it. In our judgment ii

ecare il wolly unwor thy a-nd inexcusah

nr But Senator Irby is aLbundantly at
ngto take care of' hiniself, even if it 'we
inprobable that the ger,eral public,
whom Col. Ku-itt has a.ppealed this cia
of' distinctly Alliance jurisdictio
wouldl not inake just, discriminatit
'4. between the merits auf t the spirit of ti
md two mn.

m.iust not ev'ade the \og ic which lie hI
d nvoked. If Senato,r irby Is guilty

then is every Allianco member of' LI
iC (eneral Assembly involvedh in the san

Ini a loyal membe r of the Order; but thn
all t n loyalty, sanetyor eaven at-ea
ianship in the Order resides in himi
will be grudgingly admittedt by a large
majority.
4. As to myself*. Col. Keitt says "all
was lost by the treason of ono man,
Senator Stokes." It woulu be fhterest
I ing to know what the " w/" was that
Col. Keitt says was lost. We presume
he wrote from the stindpoint of ani Al
liance man, and h(ow the Alliance i
could lose anything in the election of
Col. Irby, an honored and tristed oflil
cer of the Order, pledged to its de
mands and i tireless worker for its
cause, as United States Senator, passes
my apprehension. In the absence of
an itemized account of loss we are
driven to inference or else the method
of exclusion. It could not be the loss of
Hampton he deplored, because IIamp
ton was a caucus man as a matter of
course. It could not he Donaldson
whose loss he deplores, for his (Donald
son's) political views did not admit of
ficedom from caucus influence. (IIis
tory, by the way, furnishes no instances
of nobler bearing during the tight and
defeat than that of Donaldson and
Hampton.)
Then where and what is the loss?
Col. Keitt was the only candidate (in
an uncommon sense) who was not
elected.
The Colonel seems a good deal ex
asperated because I called in, as lie
says, the Alliance caucus, and he pro
ceeds to state what transpired in the
former Alliance caucus. lie must ex
cuse me from discussing publicly what
transpir(d behind the closed doors of
an Alliance meeting. The Ipledga at
initiation expressly forbids this. lut,
assuming that the brother's premises
are correct, let us see how his conchl
sions follow. lie says that the Alli
ance had a majority in the General As
semibly and could have elected its man.
Ile says, further, that the attendance
upon the Alliance caucus was about
forty. It required eight.y-one to elect
a Senator on joint ballot. IIe cannot
-certify that even all those forty miiim
bers present, as he says, at the Ali
ance caucus were unpledged or agreed
with him as to the party caucus clause;
Iand yet he asserts without (utalifica
tion that the Alliance could have elect.
ed its man independent of the ieforin
imembers, who were in full sympathy
Swith the Alliance, had stood shoulder
to shoulder with us, and had in many
instances come to the Legislature on
S Alliance issues, but who were ineligible
to membership. For my part, even if
s it iad been possible to elect a Senator
within ourselves, which I deny under
existing circumstances, with Alliance
i idemands iabsolutely secure in the hands
) o .lrby, Donalson or Keitt---the only
m~ex who were to come before that
gener-] caucus as lieforiers-I wa.
opposo. to exciuding from participa
tion men just as true to our principle,
and hone%, though they were inellgibi
0 to menibertdip.
Col. eitt lays imuch store by th
.? fact that somc Alliance men could no
' gain access to the Reform caucus, hi
he fails to state that those Alliane
men could not go Into a caucus of Re
formers becnitst I -'vnl pr (It/UI I
11(amplon.
But I did not act wholly upon In
own judgement in calling the Allianc
causus. All the Alliance mem caindi
dates were consulted either in persoi
r or through their representatives, and .
t ihought I had their concurrence in do
t ing so. The only objection I heard wa!
e raised after I had notified the genera
a Reform caucus of our intention t<
t meet with them. Col Keitt says I "sok
out the Alliance for the shadow of be
ing Governor of the State four year:
t hence." I deny the charge in toto an(
0 cite him to his proofs. I take it tha
my denial is worth fully as much as hii
s assertion that he was at no time a can
dlidate in a coinmon aiccep)tance of thia
word, andI s0 som11 proof wvill be neces
a sary on his part. And what (hoes h

SAN FRHA NCiSCO, Jali. 5.-There are.
live women and one man living at No.
162 Amherst Street who sleep every
i-:Iht inl their respective collills. A cer
tain Dr. Jacques, a widower and gradu
ate of the Victoria School of' Medicine,
has fouided a community at the nii
ber above mentioned, aud, in order to
verily the reports as to tle. extraordinary
character of tihe house in question, a
visit was paid to the establishment.
Dr. Jacques has the appearance of i
very sincere man, but is evidetilly
touched on the religious question. and,
in fitet, lie adiits that Archbishop Fabre
is not pleased with the work he is carry
ing on. However, lie believes (od is
with him, and that the ecclesiastical ap
probation will sooner or later de8cend
upon is head. "1 made a bargain with
the bonDieu,''began the zealous doctor,
"the year the smallpox raged in Mon
treal," says tlie Toronto Empire. "I
visited no less than 1,200 cases, aitd inl
return God greatly favored the mission I
have in hand. viz., the adoration of' the
'IIoly Face.' ''
Aionig the patients was a framily fi-om
St. Jerome nained. Aubin, and the father
and mother, with five daughters, the
eldest twenly-f ur years and the youmlu
est thirteen, now live under the doctor's
roof'. The parents live like ordinary
mortals, but the live children lead a liie
almost as severe as the terribly austere
regime of a Carmllellte nun. 'lhe house
inl question is not (If moderin construe
tion by anly meanis, 11141 whlen the visitor
was shown in to the courtyard inl the rear
the elder Auibin was engaged washin
the doctor's wagon, and his good wile
was similaril occupied with the wi
dows.
As this worthy couple do not belong
to the community proper, and conse
(uvntly (it) not sleep in collins, they were
left at their work and the next floor was
r:iched. The live little sisters, as the
doctor calls them, were found robed inl
reld material, with a white head-dress
lilling down over their shoulders.
These girls have no education whatever,
yet their melical protector says they
are very learned in thin--s pertainin-u to
the celestial sphere. They retire at $:30
an,.1 arie at -1, and although all work for
the house, the greater part of the day is
spent in adoration aid prayer.
By the side of a nicely decorated alter
stands a post about six feet in height,
and upon tht latter hangs an ox chain
ten feet long, the use of' which was ex
plaimed as f0llows by the good doctor
When Montreal is iven over to carni
vals, to halls and parties, and when thic
devil finds it easy to tempt flial men au<
women kiid, it is at these seasons that
L the live sisters devote themselves mos
L intently to penitence and prayer. Tli
Iheavy chain is hiun around each sister'
- neek lor an hour at I time, while they
kneel i Prayer for their sisters of' th
world whom destiny has thrown it
temptation's way.
The doctor no draws aside a curtain,
fan a large deep coflin, painted blach
an1 co)ered with rrav cottoni, meets the
astonished gaze of the reporter. The
cloth beinlg Ieioved, the pillow is found
to be made of soft wood, and not a sin
gle article of' clothing is visible. The
live sisters sleep uipstairs, the second
floor bein divided into a hall' dozen
small, clieerless rooms or cells. Thc
I furniture in each of'these sleeping apart
iments consists of' a black collin, ia table
all n a tin wash basin, the same absenet
