Some Hard tfnts To Crack For Poli ticians. ^ '?The Alliance Greater Than Its Lead e^s" the Subject of a Bright Art icle By^Farmer's Advocate. The Alliance Greater than its ' Leaders.? Ti e Farmer's Alli&ace, as the great farmers' organization that is awak ening so ranch alirra in political circles is called, is infinitely greater than any one or dozen men in it. There is not an individual member enicUed on its list of membership, from the president down, that would oofHx' fr'rven to understand by evidence most unmistakable that h:s services are olIv neces3iry ia so far as hi* utterances and influence harmonize with the demands of the united organ ization. No man,: we care nat who he is or what have been his past; services, can deviate a hair's breadth from the course mapped out but that h?, is check ed by a reminder that the path in which he is to walk is a> straight and narrow as the way lo glory, and the admonition, "walk thou in it/' accompanies the 're minder. There is no instance now re corded where any one man or set of men who attempted to run the machine to suit his or their personal ambition, but what he oc they c<me to grief. If this -is so with those within the ranks, it is a,also true of those without, as has been ^already forcibly illustrated. This is one of the most significant facts which goes to make up the grand aggregate of tes'i mony that the Alliance is ir ost thor oughly organized, and it is a unit in its conception of the evil* against ivhich it is contending and thoroughly ic harmony as to the remedies necessary to correct existing abuses. No out*ide issues seem to disturb or distract They have their cyeslmd mind iteadfastly fixed upon the goaKhey have net out to reach. . Ridi cule. sophistry, abuse or appeal are equally vain. They are moving as an avalanche, gathering in volumes of mem bers as they move, and defeat cr di aster awaits every issue or policy which im pedes their advice. One year ago pol iticians scorned And ridiculed it; one ? year hence tbf^will tremble and quake as they are scattered like chaff in the current which accompanies it. The cloud is gathering, the storm is approach ing. We are ati anny of men.' every one of which is a leader, and the singleness and oneness of purpose quiets discord jealousies. ? Fa-nWn Ad Washington, D. C., ? Electricity for the fanners is Senator Peffer's latest legislative idea The Kansan has intro du ed a bill which requires the Secretary of Agriculture tc> establish an electrical experiment station in which shall be de termined the question whether electricity can be profitably used and applied as a motive power in the propulsion of farra implements and nachinery. Before -the station is established somebody h*3 to douate to the government the use of the grounds and buildings which may be necessary. Without this individual or municipal generosity there can be no station, aad the Secretary of Agriculture, will have no opportunity to spend the 110,000 appropriated by the bill. Twenty-three immig auta who ^ar- J rived at Xew York on thd steamer ^Al len," were debarred from landing by the Alien Contract Labor ^aw. This may seem a hardship to some, but the majority of our citizens feel that immigration must be regulated much more carefully in the future thar; it has been in the past. The alien tide grows fuller and stronger every year. Our superior advantages here, such as the greater liberty, freedom from burdensome taxation and from mili tary servitude for a term of the b st years of life, higher wages and fewer hours of labor than.- in the old countries, the op portunity ol rising socially? ail these operate to increase immigration. *And along with many sturdy, honest, industri ous men and women seeking hones -and rJarger opportunities for good citizenship, comes a horde of paupers, criminals and convicts that is a curse aod a reproach to any people. Thin is the land of the brave and the home of the free, but it is not a poor-house, nor a peni'en iary oitlet. ?

The Reformer lays d$wn the fol low- ' iag propositions, and chsdlcnges anybody to successfully coilradict them upon the authority of any respectable writer on political economy or by the ex^cicnce of the pa t: First: That the proper and real func > tion of money is to facilitate exchange of ,propej*i.

Third : That prices rise or faU in -pro tion to the increitse or decrease in the ; Tolnme of currency. ? Fourth: Thai ccin money (gold , and silver) has- failed evory civilized nation that ever tried it. Fltb : That when coin faifed, paper L ! money came to the rescue and answered I every purpose $f coin money. Sixth: Thatfto preserve uniform prices of commodities, we must save a uniform volume of currency, expanding as occasion requires. Seventh: That banker* cannot be de pended upon to preserve^ uniform vol ume of currency. Eighth : That a uniform volume can-* not be sustained with gold and silver ; either as money or a basis /or the circu lating medium. Ninth: That there i9 not gold and sil ver enough in the world to^urnish one tenth enough money for the convenient transaction of business. Tenth: That in the light of past his tory and experience specie basis is a fraud and aTelic of barbarism Eleventh: That the money of one country has nothing to do with the mon ey of ap other : that the balance of trade is adjusted not in money, but in. <oin a? a commodity. The money of one nation is not money in any other nation.

This place was the 'scene of the most important event, to use"fhe language of the bill, in our national history, as it was "there- the rights asserted in the decla ration of independence were secured by surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the British army and navy to Gen. Wash ington." There is still standing, in about the centre of this farm, which contains some 500 acrcs. the old Moore bouse, in which the terms of surrender were arranged for the proud army and navy, with its haughty commander, Cornwallis. It was also the headquar ters of Gen. Washington, Gen. Lafayette and Count De Rocharobeau immediately before and during the time of Cornwallis' surrender. The bouse is still in a state of preservation, and during the centen nial celebration of 1881, which was held on this farm, tbe Moore house was ele gantly furnished and turned over to the French guests, decendauts of Lafayette and De Kochambeau. The Government has erected a fine monument at.Yorktown to commemorate the victory here gained over the British.

The cereaoony took place at the bride's one-story home, ho" 10$ west JHill street. This thoroughfare is ?about tea squares north of Clay street andLtwo blocks west of St. James. It is not a fashionable portion of Jackson ward, neither do the: residents thereon go in for progressive euchre dqring the winter months or lawn tennis d tying the summer time. For ways that are dark Hill street eould Uke the premium ovt-r any Celestial that Bret Harte ever met, and for mud-'pudcjles, broken down pavements and sickly-looking gas lamps, , the thoroughfare would compare most favorably to any street jh Beaver Dam' or Screamersville. i ' % 4 Long before the hour for;- the cere- - mony a large crowd collected in front of the house, and the small front room was packed with people fully a halfrhour before Jasper- arrived. K. H. Glover, the pastor's son-in-law,* acted as ioor keeper, and it required hi* best muscu-i lar efforts to keep the crow&r out, while those who were entitled to a^dmissibQ: completely filled the room. Hot is not expressive enough to convey any idea of! the temperature of that 'room. It was something awful, and there the people stood wedged against each other like as many human sardiues. To reach your handkerchief to mop your face required about as much physical exert on as Ku-: aie uses to p'nchfcine innings, And once your hand above your head you could never ge? it down to your waist again. About 9 o'clock Jasper arrived, attired in a dark suit, including a Prince Al-j bert coat, white neck-tie. gold shirt but tons, lavender gloves and a silk hat. The bride was attired in a lilac silk, em-, press style, trimmed with chiffon and" /lace, and a wreath of orange blossoms mixed their lily wh tengss with the black kiuky hair. A white lace veil com- j pleted the costume. The ceremony was performed by Dea~ con J.- W. Turner, of R-v. Jasper's ': church, and Rev. C. u. Phillips, of Bea ver Dam, offered t dtfing the j ceremony. The Episcopal service was used and the patois was somelhtng incom patible with the.usuul rendition of the, ( eremony. As soon as the benediction i had beep pronounced, Turntr in a sten torian tone said: "Salute your bride," and Jasper gave his wife a loud resound- j ing smack. The crowd present iru i mediately closed in on mc coup'e and ; kissing and hand-shakes were soon as common as mosquitoes in August. The groom is about eighty yeare old, and this isshis fourth marriage. Be is the father of Mb daughters and a ton fijk I j several grandchildren. The bride was a wi low with one child and three grand children.

C? A general shooting affray occuvrcd at the Haile Gold Mine, on Sunday, between the negroes of North Carolina and South Carolina It 6ecms that a negro named Bill Reid was dis charged recently by the underground foreman, Wm. H. Reid. Later the negro started toward Mr. Reid, making threats, and one Andy Abel interposed, asking the negro please not to hurt Mr. Rcid. A fracas ensued. Bill was from North Carolina, and ^there was bad feel ing brewing between the negroes of the two States. So on Monday morning a few workmen from each State decided that they would settle the matter. The result was that three men were wounded, riamely: John Hart, shot between the shoulders; Milus Stokes, shot in the leg; George Harlick, shot in the jirm. The wounds are not necessa:ily fatal, bdt John Hart's case is not very favorable. Delegation to New Orleans. Baleigh, N.

Can rtce be grown upon a consid erable port toft of the area now devoted to cotton culture? This\is a more dif- I ?cult question to answer, so . as r not to mislead any one. Our conviction is that it can be grown. We have observed volunteer hills of rice very frequently in jur cotton and qorn fields, and j they have iavariablv made good, heavy heads. A neighbor's field that has been run in j cotton excluiively' for a loog time, and I that is moreover distinctly high-land, well adapted to cotton, was ^successfully cultivated inrioi long ajjo? indeed, we havefmtaenfl/ heard of the' wondierful rice maide W that field. These observations lead us; to occlude that rice may be suc cessfully grown upon very largo, por tion of the lands of the State; heretofore ran in cotton. At any rate I we were sufficiently impressed wifii the prob ability of success to sefc apart for that purpose, some time ago, a portion of the area originally intended for cx>tton this year. . ^ ' 1 ! As to the time and method of ; planting. Select the land, giving preference to low-lying lands and bottoms. Prepare it as if for cotton.\ The planting should , begin about the same time as torn or a little later. Having selected the seed I carefully, open Ute bed with an old bull tongue or the plow foot. Then drop three to six orams of rice at intervals of fifteen to eighteen inches. Bhih over lightly with a board fastened to a plow, j Be careful not to cover too deep ; aqd if packing rains come, it may be necessary to run a light harrow or light rake over the beds when the plenty begii to come up. There is more danger of having too many stalks thao toq few in j the hill.. Subsequent culture is' very similar *to that of cotton? SeUdiont from Editorial " CotUmi Plant:'? Orapgebvrg, 0. U., S .

Enterprises that are no* being established in the South are put there to ?tay. They are not being projected to msike a show of activity, but to continue upon a legitimate, sub stantial basis. There is probably less speculation inrthc South at present than at any time in many years pss% and this is the most encouraging of the present situation . The South is moving forward now upon the lines of conservative leg itimate business, and in the long run this means more good honest money in tbe pockets of all concerned."

New* has been re ceived here of the murder of Bishop Jones, * noted colored; preacher in - Al lendale, 8. C., on Inured ay night. Jones formerly preached here, but went to Allendale to .preach sanctification and perfect holiness. He succeeded in get ting a following, mostly women. bome of the husbands of the women objected, and there was a division amoog the colored people of the town. . The anti-holiness people tried to dislodge the Bishop. They prosecuted him for va grancy, but he made aj good showing on the trial, many womeb testifying that they willingly contributed to his sup* port, and that they Would give him the last cent. of their earnings if necessary. Then several men, disguised as 'wo men, waylaid the Bishop at night. He was bewildered and overwhelmed at so much feminine attention and readily felt into the arms of his assailants. A short time aftward his adherents built a church, in which the Bishop preached. On Thursday night last setwice was going on in what they called the Holy Temple. The Bishop hud prayed and taken a chair in the pulpit, und an as sistant had begun to preach. A side window wis stealthily opened, ?he muz zle of a gun was tnhist through, and a report followed. * The door of the church was shut. The murderers had taken the precaution to fasten it from the outside. Upon the discbarge of the gun every light was ex tinguished. Then there was great con fusion. Women screanpcd and expected instant death. I Some one finally struck a light, and it was found that the Bishop was dead Justice Mixson and h jnry of fourteen white citizens investigated the matter for two d*ys, but up to a late hour no clue was found t j warrant the arrest of any one.
