The Haoord of Livingston and Ganlt. '7 1 have watched with mucli interest the \ political movement If the Farmers' Alliance since its organization, Jtuil hid hope<l fur R great political as yell as other reforms wheu the mnsscs w#ra bottrr posted on the ^ issues that confront us. 1 am not one of those alio advise (lie firmer to eiajr out of politics. Every farmer, in fact every citizen, should go where the iuleiost of his 1>eop!o demands that he should go, as honest, ' nlelligent voters. When the people act ns their conscionco and judgement dictate the result is satisfactoiy, but when they follow office-seeking po itietatis tbey nve generally led iuto the 11 -- d tch. Some of our Alliance friends are now very ?1 much mortified on account of their allegiance, or perhaps it would ho better to sny blind ' devotion, to pohticsl Itadeis. For flopping and inconsistencies, the re- ' cord of our Alliance political leaders lends tha world. al \Vr? I'ni.tWA in lliiw aff'iAlA In tinfirA hrinHv the record made by some of the political ' teachers iu the Alliance. Less than one year ago Col. Livingston, as president of the Gcoigia Alliance, brought General Wearer and Jerry Simps >n down to canvass the State iu the interest of n now ' j arty because new party doctrine, or inde- h pendent politicul acton, was the theme of the r speeches. Col. Liungfoa alono is responsible for their coming. That is. he so stated publicf ly, and said further that he was personally responsible for their oxpenscs down lio.e w (private car No. O'J included.) The State p Alliance vclievVd hiui of the letter rcsponsi- . bility, aod paid Weaver $70 and Simpson $50?invested $120 in good Third Per y (,' doctrine, together with much abuse of both the old politipal pavtic*. p Sboitly after the Weaver Simpsom c usade old Sister L^nsc came to Georgia. Who is * Ttspoti.iifble for her coming, I know not, but H after she had inadc her first speech et Pied- v mont Chautauqua, which was listened to by j, Colonel Livingston, the Coloucl issued a proclamation, through the Atlanta Conatilu- e Hon to all Allianccmcn far nnd nesr to go and hear the second effort of Sister Leas*, bs the like was never bef >re in Georgia. Porlu- 1 nately wo never heard Sister Lease, but if ? she talked about anything except Third s Party doctrine while in Georgia the papers failed to report it. While all this was g ing on Colonel Liv- i ingston's organ, then preside 1 over by f Larry Oantt, was going ctteh week to the | farmers of Georgia full to the brim with Third Party doctrine nnd nbuso of 1 lie old " parties- Larry went so far as to declare \ A 1 .A (..! a : T1....1 I> t _ !.. iiiciu was m uiiii nine a Ainru i unjr in ; Georgia; tlint 7u percent of the farmers were t in favor of a new party, and all the poweis between heaven and the lower couutry could not keep them in ihe Democratic > patty. s But where, oh ! where, do we find these ^ leaders, these stif-sacrifioiug leaders, of the dear people now ? " fa tkc Democratic fo'd (?) Anyway, V- tWiinn vkirtntn# onry Ihrottgh the Demo- t ratio vote. Where they will stand in the c future, time alone cau show us. And now comes the sad intelligence that Larry is to run the Tdlnta'i organ in Pouih t Caro ina. What will become of the Geor gin farmers in the meantime ? 4 This rcmiuds us that Lairy will liavo to change his views ou his pet hobby, the sub- ' treasury scheme, in order to play much pari ' as a Tillman advocate. But Larry's pro- a fossions of fa:tli are very clastic, while the t Alliance mantle of charity is quite broad. Anyway, it will seem ridiculous to thinking people when they remember that Ben Tillman g was making speeches against the sulxreasury , scheme in South Carolina while Latry was branding every Alliauceman with "traitor" c who did not endorse the sub-treasury plan, not only in spirit, but to the letter. We are sorry that Larry muat leave us in n this grctt crisis, at a time whan he declares ii that there is great danger of the farmers \ running headlong out of the Democratic parly, and the party Larry so dearly loves. 11 Pat if it is absolutely necessary for Lnrry 1 to leave a people once dear to him in order s< to rave Tillman from political defeat, we will ^ try and endure the separation, and trust he will accomplish his missiou in duo time to make the race for eougress ia his Goorgia P district, as the exponent of auy political t< party that may then claim him. We know j, Larry does not want office, but like roost of . our Alliance leaders he is "available.** Colonel Livingston and Larry, as political 1< teachers, remind us of the country school c teacher who, wlieu askel whether he taught that the earth was flat or round, replied that he was prepared to teach cither the flat system or the rouud system.? IF. 11. Bur- ti ye*s, in Atlanta Journal. Li.nuuact: A.mono Dons.?Lawrence, Kan., r April io ?rrobably the most convincing anil remarkable evi'icoce tint animals can c talk to each other was witnessed here a few t! days ago on the firm of William Seymore. I Seymore has two dogs which are accustomed ^ to remain in the barns and have become firm friends with the horses. To such an n extent hus this friendship pivgiesaed that a when any of the horses or ?ither of the h dogs have been away from home for any time, immediately on their return they rush 4 together and rub noses and give other evi- 51 deuces of delight at meeting. h The dogs nod horses go to the pasture t] together and return home at evening in company. This remarkable and close friendship has been noted by many and much ' commented upon, but the climax wa? t reached when oue of tbo dogs came rushing 5 fi*Am n ainrtll niana '/% * iStnKoi> ???*?! aKanf ?*.%! f amilo from the barn, lie ran hurriedly up " to (lie other dogs and whined and barked in a queer manner, and then ran to the t house. q The second dog at once jumped to his fee' and started ctf on a run to the woods as v fast as he could go. The first dog hunted 11 around t lie place until lie found Air. r Jis/more, and then by bnks and strunge . * ' antics attrncted his attention and started baek toward Ihetimbsr. Mr. Seymore paid little attention to him until he was told what occurred in the burn, N where the two dogs appaicntly held convei- p sationjund then he followed him to the woods, and thero Mr. Seymore fouud that one ot his horses had fallen down in a small water course which was so narrow ami steep that it was impossible for the nnimal to arise. The horse was lying perfectly still, while tl the second dor was sittini; bv its hand link* ing it? facs and showing by i n attentions " that l>e intended to comfort the horse a!

Ren Alston, preached an impressive and appropriate sermon, the services throughout were of unusual solemnity and interest. A very simple description rr ilio deco:aliona is a'l we can give. The Reading Desk was most tistily dressed with red Geraniums interspersed with evergreens. The Lectura was truly beautiful, with pink flowers artistically enterwoven among garlands of cvergreeu". The Altar rei ing w?s entwined and dressed with lilacs, ivergreeus, aod Easter Hoses. Tho Baptismal Font represented a beautiful mound of moss surmounted by magnificieut Cain L lies. Beautiful mounds ef flowers, moss and evergreens, placed at different points of the Chnnccl, gave that pait of the Church a most striking and lovely appearance. The nave of the Church w is elaborately and artistically festooned w.tu evergreens and flowers, whi'e appropriate scripture mattocs were hung amid the tastily arranged floral decorations; (be rhole presenting a beautiful aud artistic thank offeriog of nature to the great "Head of the Church." The Chancel, pulpit, niter railing aud walls of the Methodist Church were decorated with exquisite taste, and the effect was beautiful , in its sweet simplicity and appropriateness. I highly creditable to the hearts and hands ot 1 the Ladies of that Congregation. The inusii both morning and night was admirable, both , in the selection and performance. J The Greenville MeetingAfter reading the different reports of tin ( public meeting at Greenville last Saturday, j wt cannot see that it lias done any good to ' ny one or either pert* engr.ged in the discussion. If the conduct at that meet ng is , an index of what we are to expect at all the public meetings during the coming campaign, ' we may expect soroo very tlisreputab.e " scenes. The "howliog down" plan will not ( he like it was in 1800, all on one side. The < factions are more evenly divided, and escti will go into the campaign believing thrii strength is so near equal that the weaker i will strive hardor and mote persistently for success. We sincerely hope our fears wid 1 prove to be groundless. It is strange lha men cannot discuss public mstiers di?pns- j sionately, nor listen to audi discussions t decently, and with proper respect to speaker* " of both sides. The question now is, will the next cam- f pnign be a campaign of information to the t people, or will the people make it a campaign cf personal abuse and rowdyism f We expect to give our readers full and fair reports of the speeches at Greenville.
