Raleigh, N. June 16, 1892. Editor National Economist: At your request of the 10th I write you. The next annual session of the North Carolina Farmers State Alliance will be held in Greensboro, N. C , on the second Tues day in August, which is the 9th day of the month. It is to be one of the most important session that this body has ever held on account of the political situa tion of the country. No tnier, better Alliance ineu live in the Uuited States than the members of the North Carolina Farmers Alliance. But thousands of our people are so poor they are, not able to pay their dues, hive not a (foliar of money to pay for anything, but are'Tmder the "inill rocks" of oppression, caused by our present financial policy. At a confetence of delegates from each county Alliance on May 17 in this city, ninety oue coun ties indorsed the St. Louis conference platform^ fouf indorsed the Ocala de mands. and one not represented in this conference. An official report is being made now by the sub Alliances upon the platform. North Carolina stands solidly at the front on these demands. It is one time in the history of this country that the political boss cannot oontrol the voters. ;? Every Alliancc man is ? an independent thinker, and not only a thinker but a i talKer and a worker; and the rural popu lation, whether members of the Order or not, are being educated on those same !? lines, and are generally standing shoul der fo shoulder with the brethren. The office seeker cannot straddle the fence in this campaign. * Never have I setn so much gloom over the land as has beeu caused by the de&th '-oTPresidenfc Polk. Never have so many tears been *hed over the death of any man in our borders. Can we ever get anothei as true, as pure ? No one I feai can fill his place. Yours fraternally. W. S. Baune*, SeeV-Treas.

Law and order have been 'once more established in Homt steal It is martial law andj^jor Geuer il Sno a ? den is dictator. The advisory committer of the Amai gamated Association called on Genera! Snowden. at Briaton, during the night and told him of the decision reached at the mass meeting of strikers yesterday, to receive the militia -with bands aod ho sannahs. Gen. Showden said he did not want any demonstration and refused in formation as to- the time his division would arcive in Hfmtestead. The lodge* of workingmen that expected to form in to bodies and give formal wel omejto.the military were not called into service. Some were disappointed, many were not Between 9 and l'U o'clock a boy rushed down the main street in Homestead to wards the railroad station and shouted to the people that the soldiers bad ar rived. The. people rushed from their places of business towards the hills near the Carnegie Works. Women and chil dren flew to doorways and looked with frightened glances up anddown the streets Tbe warning of Burgess McLuckie in his proclamation for women and, children to keep indoors failed of its purpose, and petticoats fluttered in the wind, the wearers keeping pace with the throng hurrying in the direction indicated by the ; sound of martial music. Up the big hill overlooking the town and adjacent to the Carnegie plant, the wearied, tired militiamen toiled in tbe broiling sun to the placefassigned them. The regiment marched inlo the borough, bands playing and flags flying ; but there was no cheering. Lines of pickets guard i ed the approaches to the mills. A pro I vost guard took possession of the borough itself. The pickets of the workingmen had disappeared, and recognized law-aod order reigned. 0 At no time while the troops were ?* sembling was there^jr^, attempt at re sentment on^^iie^artof the workingmen. Some ol tliem objected to being stoppad guards on the roads leading to the Carnegie Works. It was the county road, they said, and no damned soldiers Could block it. Their friends drew them away and a disturbance was avert ed. Such is Homestead to day. Strang ers parade the streets feeling secure in the presence of troops. These outsiders who knew the danger that threatened them during the uncertain days of last week breathe freer. The workingmen did not express their feelings. They are divided i^sentiraent as to the militia, but on one pd&t they, are firm? if any more Pinfcerton men are brought to watch the Carnegie Works there will be bloodshed. EXPLOSION ON LAKE GENEVA.

He reasoned he must ve been mistaken for another. A few days after "the shooting circumstances de veloped which pointed strongly to Mr. Amnion's brother, E. R . Ammons, as the assailant.

So far aoiie of the prominent leaders are able AO name a single inau that they confer tfltely to be chosen or one whatllls all the qualifications they desire.

One ol the most wonderful lighthouse^ in the world is that at Minot j Ledge,, near Boston. It* history has been one of; romance. The greater part of its founda tion is under water at low tide. In 1847 a skeleton lighthouse of iron was erected there on iron piles placed in holea drilled into the rock. A furious hurricane burst upon the coast in April, 1851, an<^ anxious watchers from the Cohasset shores thought thftf the structure had been car ried away. But, as the sun sank, out shone the light across the storm-tossed waters. At 10 p. m., the light was seen1 for the Isst timti At one heur after midnight the iop bell was heard above the roaring of vAe breakers. At da y break the ocean was a blank ; the light- : house was gone. Knowing that no help could reach thorn, the keepers had lighted their lamp as a warning to others, and their lives had gone out with it. Now ! a granito tower occupies the spot. So difficult was it to lay the foundation in the surf that only thirty hours' work could be done during the first year, but the tower stands to-day as enduring as the ledge itself ? an isolated pile of stonsj toid the wares, by the force of which! iris swayed like a tree in wind. During' the long winter months all communica tion with the land i? shut ofl. In Bum mer the occasional Visitor is hoisted Into the lighthouse from his boat by means of { a chair, and from time to time a skiff is : lowered by pulleys to convey one or another of the five keepers to the shore.
