LETTER FROM SECRET ART OF 50RTH CARO
LIMA FARMERS STATE ALLIANCE.
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.

Homestead, Pa. ? Law and order have

It is martial law andj^jor Geuer il Sno a ?

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.

A. G. Ammons, one of the most promi

The shootifcg was at night, and no ons

barrelled shotgun. Both barrels wer-?
discharged. At the second fire Mr. Am

not tell who shot him and said he had n<>

days after "the shooting circumstances de

with the crime, but was released on bail.

The Tiger Growled- *
Prom the Courier- Journal.]
Id connection with the Chicago Con
tention's good story U told on Mr. Charles
P. Weaver, President of the Bandanna
Club. Its truth is not only vouched for
by several veracious Louistille gentle
men, but is also admitted by the vic
tim himself. ^
Placed upon the counter of the Audi
torium Ho' el bar was a savage- looking
tiger which the Tammanj contingent ban,
borrowed from a well-knewn Louisville,
liquor dealer who was in Chicago at the
time. Into this seductive retreat strolled,
Mr. Weaver with a fair folkming. The
sight of that tiger Icted uprnhim a* the
flaunting of t red flag before If ferocious
bull, faking off his Cieveuvd badge^
Mr. Weaver boldly amit-audacioWy shook
it under the nose of/ the brutes saving:
."Oh, yes, you olcfsport; you old rascal,'
this is the thing w?tn which we will pull
some of three fine teeth In November.**
Just at this critical moment the tauter)-'
der reached-behind him, ostensibly for a
glass, aid in so doing palled ft string con
nected; with the Tammany emtlena.
Realistic as ^life the jaws of the beast
bpene^ wide' and the eyes seemed to glare
more fiendishly. j" Woof I W-o-ufnr-r-.
i-uh!Jl" wfere' the Sounds emanated in
that sepulchral, | awe-inspiring cough
characteristic of the ''maneater." Mr.
Weaver leaped high and tar enough to
make the building quake When be came
down with all his ponderous weight1
Thb tran'ic yells greeting the performance
seemed to him,in { his ciaaed condition/
to be the warning cry of a rescuing, psrty.
It colt him $7^80 to, take the first Tam
many degree. j * J '? ?
! When at dinner some hours later he
was asked if he hsjd been reaUy frightened,
and he candidly replied : "I pledge' you
my \ford^4 was ne.irly scared to death.
It so ' threakning and unexpeoted
that it for an instant toofcmy wits away."

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. L
The life tells on them frightfully. Syfl
