r:' Tk? Kecord of Livingston tod Oaatt. I have watched jailh much inlcrrst lh? political movement Y'lfce Farmers' Alliance ince ita organtxation^od lud hoped fur great political aa fell aa other reforms when ilia nmuci wvro better posted on tlia issues that oonfroat u?. 1 'am not oa# of those-who ad rise .lit# frmvr to stay out of politics. Erer/ farmer, in fact every citiacn, should go where iho inieroel of hia people demands that ha should go, as honest, Intelligent voters, mdco tue people act ns their consoienee and judgement dictate the result is satisfactory, but when they follow ofhcc-sseking po iticiaiis they oro generally led iulo the d tcb. m Some of our Alliance friends ?re now very much mortified on account of their allegiance, r perhaps it would he belter to any blind devotion, to political leadeis. For (topping and inconsistencies, the record of our Alliance political leadeis lends the world. Wc propose in this articlo to notice briefly the record made by some of llio political teachers itt the Alliance. Lmi than one year ago Col. I.ivingalon, at preaident of the (leotgia Alliance, brought General Weaver and Jerry Simpum down to canvass the State in the interval of ti now I arty because new party doctrine, or independent political ?'.t on, was the theme of the r speeches. Col. I.itingfoti nlonc :s responsib'c fit their coming. That is, lie so stated publicly, sod anid further Unit lie was personally rrnpoDMble for their oxpenaea down hoe (private enr No. O'J included.) The State Alliance lolievfd him of the hitter responaibility, and paid Weaver $70 and Si in (son |0O?lnvrsted $120 in good Third Per y doctrine, together with much abnee of both the old politicnl parties. Sboitly after the Weaver Simpsoiii c usade old Sister Cease came to Georgia. Who is .rCTpouVfblc for her coming, I know not, but after ahe had made her hint apeecli vt Piedmont Chautauqua, which tvas iintcncd to l>y Colonel Livings! jii, Ili Colonel i**ucd n proclamation, through the Atlanta <\mutilation lo oil Alliaucemcii liir mid neirto g-> and hear Iho second effort of Si-tcr Loan*, mh I lie like wits never bef ire in Gooigia. Fortunately wu never heaid Sister Lease, but it rlie talked nboul anything except Third Party doctrine while in Gtorgia tlio papers failed to report it. While nil thin wasg ing on t'ol inrl Livingston's organ, then presi le I over by Larry (Jnntl, was going cueli week to the farmtre of tleorgia full to the biitn willThird Party doctrine nnd abuse of the old parties. Larry went mo far as to declare thtrc was at that time a Third Party in Georgia; that 7"? percent of the fannera were iu favor of a now party, and nil the powets between heaven and the lower country could not keep them in tlio Democratic paity. Hut where, oh 1 where, do wo find these leaders, these stM-sticrificing leaders, oT the dear people now ? - "* /n'iko Democratic fo'd I?) Anyway, lee vfin tithe only through the Demo ratio vote. Where they will stuu-l in the future, lime alone ran show us. And now comes the and intelligence that I.!irrv is In rim ilin 'I'. 11 i.in n ......... I.. I, ('aroma. What will b'como ol the (l??>rgia fanners in the mcauliiiic This reminds us that Lmry will liuvu to change his view* ou Ins pel liobhy, tliu .suhtreusury scheme, in order in piny much pari as a Tillman advocate, lint Lurry's pro fossiotis of lii'III arc very elastic, while ihe Alliance nninlle of charily is ipiilo Lro.nl Anyway, il will seem ridiculous lo thinking people when they remember llml Itun Tillintin was making s| ceohcs ugnnist I lie snL*:reasiiry echeiuo in .South Carolina while l.airy was branding every Alliniicomun willi "traitor" who diil not etidurso llie sub-tieasury plan, not only in spirit, bill lo the letter. We arc soiry that Larry mint leave us in this grot criaif, ut a time when ho declares that there is great danger of the fanner* running headlong out of (lie Democratic parly, ami the party Larry so dearly loves. Hut if it is absolutely mcessary for Larry to leave a people oucc dear to hiin in order to rave Tillman from political defeat, we will try and endure the Hopnratiou, and trust lie will accomplish his luisaiou in duo lime to make I lie race for congress in lis (ioorgia district, as (he exponent of any political party that may than claim him. Wo know Larry does not wnut oflice, but like most of our Alliance leaders lie is "available. Colonel Livingston nnd l.arry, as political teachers, remind us of tho couutry school teacher who, when nske I whether he taught that the earth was Hat or round, replied that i i. o 1 V !?? |M V|'M?

To Mich an extent has tins f. ieudsliip prgtcssod that when any oftho Imrses or iiihrr of tlie dogs have been away from home for any time, immediately on their return lliey rush together nnd rub noses and give other evidences of delight at meeting. The doge nu?l horses g? to the pa-turo together and return home at evening in company. This remarkable and close Iriondohip has been noted by mauy and iiiucli commented upon, but the climax wic reaciieii when otio ol the dogs came iashing from a small piece of timber and about half a milo from the barn, lie ran hurriedly up to the ether dugs ami whined and barked iu a spieer manner, and then van to the bouse. The second dog at once jumped to his fee' end started i tf on a run to the w ode as .fast as he could go. The first do/ hiinici around the place until lie found .Mr. Saymore, and I ben l> v bilks and strange antics attracted his attention ntul started back totsard tho timber. Mr. Seymoro paid little attention to him until lie tins told whnl occurred in the burn, where the two dogsappaicmly held cotiveisation|und then he followed liim to the woods, and thero Mr. Seymoro found that one ot his hor?e* had fallen down in a small water course which was so narrow and steep thai it was impossible for tho animal to arise. The horse was tying perfectly aiiit, while tho eccoutl dog was sitting by its hea<i lick ing its face and showing by is a(t? miotic ihal lie intended to coinlort the horse nl that was in its power. The fie- tuat tlie horse was tying in an out of the way p'ace, with the sJuitional fact that tli second dog did ?ot hesitate, but went direcly to where it had fallen, was pla n evidence of the tail ?? - " that the first dog had told t ie story ami given direction* for finding the liorso thai was in trouble. - Grkai Hah.
