Durability of Afirient Ink.
Tho lalxn* required in making the man
uscript books of ancient days was far
beyond the understanding of the men of
the present day who possess all the
modern adjuncts to that art. As these
were intended to last for many
years, answering the same purpose as
Dur printed tomes, the groat desideratum
in their preparation was durability. As
behalf of the plaintiffs, aw arding them | * natural consequence, those who made
them not only selected the best quality
}f parchment or other material to write
upon, bnt also paid particular attention
to tho quality of the ink used in such
work. . . .
That they were successful. in making
the latter is evidenced by the fact that
in the majority of instance* the char
acters inscribed on the most ancient
manuscript rolls now preserved in the
Britism museum and elsewhere are very
legible, the ink being bright and black

From the admirable address of Presi
dent VV*. N. Elder to the York County
Alliance we take the follow ing extracts:
Gentlemen and Brethren: We have
again'assembl'Ml to consider what is for
the best interests of our order w hich ha*
tM’cu one of the greatest educational fac-
torsever inaugurated w ithinnur bound*.
It has steadily pursued its course of ini-
provemem. Intellectual]). moraily. so
cially, and 1 would like to say Hnan-
ciallv. but that is w here the ruti conies
in. On lids line we find many obstacles
in the way. The Alliance has mapped
out a line of action which would bring
financial Improvement, viz: co-opera
tive methods of buying and selling, but
few of our (Msepie for lack of means and
the scarcity of money have l*een able to
take advantage of the prescriiied meth
od*, hence the question arises. “Why
this scarcity of money,** ha* been agi
tating the minds of our people in every
quarter. It has been traced to our na-
tioual legislature, hi giving the control
of mir financial system Hum the hands of
a favored few, who have so manipula
ted as to contract and expand the circu
lating medium at w ill, and now have it
in such shape that n.*» per cent of' the
business of these I’nited State* is done
on credit. It is asserted that six corpo
rations, with ten men, can lock up over
one half Uie money in circulation any
dav they see fit. It ha* also been as
serted that if the farmer* of the South
were in a condition to sell a cotton crop
for cash ami lay it up, there is not
enough money in circulation to pay for-
It. It is further asserted that if the far
mer* of the Northwest could sell tlieir
w heat for cash and lay it up, there is
not money enough in circulation even
to pay for it. Business failure* during
the last 25 years have increased thirty
fold. The wealth as derived ftom agri
cultural products during the last ten
year* is estimated at 3 |a*r cent. The
mortgage TmlelHedness of the wealth
producer* has increased to alarm tug
projiortlon*.
With all these facts and more before
us, is it not time for our people to pause
and consider what means this concen
tration of the wealth into the hand* of
a few and whither are we drifting? If
we will butreler to history, our fate i*
plainly evidenced. When Egypt went
down, two per cent, of her population
owned 1)7 percent, of her .wealth. The
peopfe were starved to death. When
Babylon woutdown, 2 per eetrt. of dtcr
population owned ail her wealth, and
the people starved. When Persia went
down, I per cent, of her population
owned all her wealth. Route boasted of
her etermd city that sat upon seven hills
and ruled the civilized world; yet when
her wealth was confined to 1H00 men,
who owned and controlled tiie then
known world, in all her glory and pomp,
she went down.
Now after a thorough study of tiie sit
uation, our representatives in conven
tion assembled at .St. Louis, December,
1SS5), formulated amL-promulgated cer
tain demands, which if enacted into
law, it wa* thought would effect a
change and give relief to our oppressed
people. When the principles embraced
in the first demand was formed into a
bill, it w aij hooted at and scorned by our
representatives. It originated with the
farmers, a set of ignoramuses, who did
not know what they did really need.
This hill was killed and buried «o deep
that it never could he resurrected, but
at the next nieetingof our nirtionaibody
at Ocala, Florida, these demands were
again reiterated, with some little modi
fication*. and are now standing out in
hold relief, and have stood the test for a
jieriod of over three years, and I am
happy to say are grow ing more and
more in favor with all classes. Even
some of ^ho*e Congressmen who made
fuh of them, after considering them,
found no fault in them, and even uo.w
admit that our financial system i*
wrong, had wrong, and tliat a change
must be eff ected. Some of them s|>cut
their last summer vacation traveling in
Kuro|>e for the purpose of studying the
financial systems of those countries, in
order that they might gain some idea*
w hich would aid them in ferreting out
the w rongs and enable them to arre»t
existing evila. Our heart'* desire and
prayer is “so mote it lie.*’
It has been charged (hat the Alliance
wants the sub-TreaMiry aad nothing
else. We have always asserted and still
declare that we are not wedded *o the
e ready and
plau. when
ever proposed, but we don't propose to
accept any siuctrack issues. We want
something that will place the wealth
producer on an equal footing with all
.other classes, occupations and pj;pfes-
slont. Tnc prices of agricultural prod
ucts, tin* basis of all wealth, have be eh
so depreciated that it now takes about
three times as much to procure a dollar
a* it did ten or twelve years ago, whilst
the salaries of all professional men have
that numiter* of our professional men,
realizing the situation, do not exact the
fee* a* fired by their associations, but
are united w ith u* in our efforts to free
the toi ing masses from the grasp of or-
f ^anized monopoly. After the formu-
ating and promulgating of our de
mands, the Alliance was charged with
beinga secret political organization, and
ha* been bitterly assailed by politicians,
the secular p-ess and sjuxtijators. But
w ith all it lias gone forward in the even
tenor of Its say, educating our people
in the science of au economical govern-
ment. irrespective of pitriy, nnhci
tiie assault of its opponents and the ef
forts being made to cause dissensions in
its ranks and break up the organization.
•.It lias been asserted tliat the Alliance
is weakening. 1 deny tiie assertion,
dome of the members have a. low ed Unfit-
name* to be dropped from ther'rolls
tlirmtgh'ficgligeuce, not keeoFfig their
dues paid up, but having Tfnbibed tiie
when the signal fpr^ketion is given,
they will rally toUhe call and prove
their Rllegiancw'fo these principle*, for
they arc as>tfred that they are founded
ujxon eq-justice ami truth, and re
alize Die fact tliat it is tlieir duty to
support and maintain them if they ever
expect to be relieved from t|ie power of
money to oppress. We, are now passing
through a bitter experience. Our lands,
in fat t all property and tiie' products of
the soli, Iiave depreciated in value. Our
business men claim to lie in a strait and
arc indifferent about making advances.
They say they can-net carry on their
business unless their customers will
give them bankable paper, which very
few are able todo,asserting fiat North
ern capitalists arc not inclined to let
tlieir money come South on account of
their unsettled condition. Our short
crop and the low price of cotton has
made it wttr*e-thairhard this year, but
i hope it w ill prove a blessing to us in
disguise and lie tiie means of teachings
us some useful lessons. One im|M>rtant
lesson that we should learn is to depend
more on ourown resources, raise all that
t* necessary to sustain man and beast at
home and not latmr any more for tiie en
riching of our north-eastern task mas
ter* who can do nothmg for us farther
than to accumulate wealth at our cx-
peti-e. They are now seeing that we
have been at school and that tliere i* a
probability of a change being effected,
they are witholding their money, which
we alj thought w as an ad\aiitage t«» u«,
but ha* been of greater benefit tp f hew.
We arc now on the eve of one of Hie
most exciting |M»litical campatgiv* we
have experienced fni years. M v advice
t * all is not mallow ourselves to become
mi absorbed in politics a«* to neglect the
cultivation of our crops. Let us work
our crops so as m lia\e (tread for Katy

discovered by accident. For years it
has been a matter of frequent occur
rence that traveler* have disappeared
when traveling along thi* road, and no
trace of them was evwr after diacovered.
On several occasion* search has been
made for tiie missing parties, but such
search has always been frnitlese.
Lately the United Smtea marshals
have been making it very warm for the
outlaw* which have infested the terri
tory, and the result is that many of
them have fled to other parts Until the
storm blows over. It is evident that
the house spoken of was Die rendezvous
of some of the robber*, for it was built
for that very purpose, as w evidenced
from its gtrncturc.
It is» a am ilt cabin, of three room*,
leading one into the other m a line.
Near the door which lead* from the first
to the second room i* a largo trap door,
which a person passing from one room
to the oth*r would be compelled to step
upon. This trap door swings down
ward, and is held in place with an ar
rangement similar to that used on scaf
folds, and it was so arranged that a
person in the rear room could spring
the trap and send the victim to the bot
tom of a deep hole. It was evident that
it was used for this purjiose, for the
bottom of the hole was covered with
jagged rocks, arkl on many of these
could be found dried blood and hair.
No indicitidns of remains could be
found, but the ground near wilt be
thorouxhlv searched by the officers.
Every observant American who visits
Great Britain must be struck by the fact
that the large iflajonty of soldiers whom
tie sees there, whether red coated Lng-
