Tho Sooth Carolina Alliance has oast the die and plainly says it intends to "force" the demands as an issue in the political campaign. There is to be no dodging. Loyalty to every Alliance demand is required for Alliance sup? port, be that what it may. W. D. EVANS ELECTED PRESIDENT. At the night session the principal business Was the eleotion of officers, which was started about ll o'clock. W. D. Evans was nominated in a fine speech. Doodaldson's name was pre? sented, when he made a brief and dig? nified statement that be had to em? phatically decline to allow his Dame to be considered. Evans was them elected. Joseph L. Keitt, 'of New? berry, was elected vioe-pr^sident sod J. W. Reid, of Spartaobnrg, and F. P. Taylor, of Chesterfield, secretary and treasurer respectively. Evans' selection is about the best that could have been made for the Alliance. He is an independent man and is not bound np by pledges. G-ov. Tillman's friends perhaps get little satisfaction out of the eleotion. Ever since the memorable railroad commis? sioners bill Tillman and Evans have not been especially devoted. Col. Evans, while a Reformer is not a coat? tail swinger, neither has he had any? one else do his thinking. Col. Keitt's election was perhaps a sop to the Third party element. DONALDSON'S SIMON PURE DEMOCRACY. During the day there was a decided turning towards Donaldson for some reason, and I have heard not a few delegates say that he could be re? elected. His friends claim that he has fully twenty-five of the delegates. It went so far that friends waited on Donaldson to secure his consent to allow the use of his name. Donaldson declined to mu on the ground that while in sympathy with the Alliance and its purposes he was not hostile to Clevelsod or the Democracy, and With these convictions be could not be at the head of the body io South Caro? lina as at present operated. Moreover the Alliance organization was opposed to Cleveland and the Administration, which aotion he could not endorse. He has every reason to feel satisfied with the talk of delegates. The most important question con? sidered this morning was salary reduc? tions. The treasury of the Order is weak, the membership steadily de? creasing, and the necessity of money reform and retrenchment in its man* agement is acknowledged. The Alli? ance has had competent officers ; bot to day, after a bard fight, the secre? tary's salary was cut from $800 to {300, and the president's from {300 to $150 ! The following resolution?, prepared and offered by Col. Joseph L. Keitt, were adopted : "Whereas the legislative demand of the Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union represent the highest develop? ment in the evolution of oor order and are the essence of reform demanded by the people in their effort to overcome plutocratic domination and restore good government ; and whereas the only reasonable hope for relief to the farmers and laborers of our country resides in their uncompromising loyalty in'support of these demands ; therefore, be it re? solved. "1st. That the Farmers Alliance of South Carolina do hereby solemnly pledge its faith tobe brethren of the Uoited States, that our unqualified sup? port shall be given to secure the enactment of these demands, f "2nd. For the purpose of faithfully i carrying into effect the above resolution ? this body hereby notifies the Coogress ; men from this State, elected by the Alliance influence, that this order ex? pects them to oppose the repeal of th? Sherman Silver Act, unless the repeal? ing bill embodies a substitute giving free and unlimited coinage of silver opon the basis of 16 to 1. And also they are expected to oppose the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State banks. "3d. In order to further protect our demands and force them as an issue in the political campaigns the exeontive committee of this body is hereby instructed to submit tb,e latest legisla? tive demands of tho National Farcers Alliance and Industrial Union to eaoh candidate for a State office and request a written answer without ambignity or equivocation upon the following ques? tions : "First. 'Will you discuss the Alli? ance demands in the coming campaign, particularly those relating to the finances of the country, and defend them against the enemies of our ordert'' "Second. 'Will you pledge loyalty to the demands of the National Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union above loyalty to party caucus and vote against any and all candidates who decline to mit themselves to this extent?" "4th. That the executive committee of the District Alliance and County Alliance are hereby instructed to carry into effect resolution 3 with respect to all candidates for office within their respective jurisdictions. "5th. That the exeoutive committee of this Alliance shall have printed the above questions and answers thereto, and have copies transmitted to every subordinate Alliance in the State, and the District and County Alliances are advised and urged to adopt the same course. **6tb. That a copy of these resolu? tions be sent out by the secretary to each Alliance in the State." DONALDSON ENDORSED. The following resolutions were adopt? ed : ..Resolved by thc Sooth Carolina State Alliance in oouncil assembled at Walhalla, S C , that we appreciato thc servioes of brother M. L. Donaldson as president of this Alliance. "We appreciate him for his wisdom in council, for his faithfulness to truth, for his energy in action and for bis fidelity to bis brethren. 'While we no longer have the bene? fit of his leadership, we confidently expect valiant service from him in press? ing forward to victory with the hosts of the Alliance, and wo beg to assure them of oor confidence in him as a brother i battling for the fioal success ot every ; Uu? reform- i "That we reaffirm oar entire con? fidence in bis integrity and faithfulness in the performance of etery public trust reposed in bim and wish for him a long and successful career." The Issue Made. The meeting of the State Alliance did not create the expected sensation as to the election of officers, and in all res? pects it was a tame affair compared with the predictions so freely dispensed daring the past month. Mr. Donaldson was not a oandidate for re-election to office, because be is not in sympathy in the trend of Alliance affairs in this State, which plainly indicates a serions and unqualified opposition to President Cleveland and a majority of the Demo? cratic party. Mr. Donaldson was given a very complimentary farewell upon retiring from office, and since he took a decided stand as a Cleveland Democrat, the natara! inference is that bis influ? ence with the Alliance will not amount to anything in future. The most apparent result of the meet* ing at Walhalla is that the State Alli? ance will move henceforth under antagonistic inflienoes to true Demo? cracy. The resolutions are strongly at variance with the teachings of the past, in that the freedom of private opinion is completely stifled, and the right of private judgment is utterly ignored. The men who pr?same to ask their fellow-citizens for public office must measure up to the staodard erected by the Alliance, and the deviation of a h air's-bread th from the line marked out will bring unqualified remonstrance and tbe solid opposition of the Alliance. It does not matter that a candidate chooses to stand squarely upon the platform of the Democratic party, for that is not sufficient to meet the views of tbe Alliance. He must acoede to all the demands set forth at Ocala, or else the combined strength of the order will be hurled against him. . The author of the resolutions is an avowed third party man. He does not claim to be a Democrat, and bis pur? poses are not in harmony with the ob? jects and aims of Democracy as repre? sented by the majority io Congress, as interpreted by the chief executive of the nation, and as laid down in the plat- j form of principles adopted at Chicago. ; So far as he' is able, Mr. Keitt has placed the Alliance in fult sympathy with the principles and purposes of the third party, and so far as he and his political associates are concerned, the measurement by the yard stick means that the fortunes of the third party are to be advanced for the next campaign. They do not care what becomes of the Democratic party io South Carolina, for they are more interested in the furtherance of their peculiar ideas upon financial legislation, which are to say the least visionary and chimerical But the great masses of the people are interested from a practical poiot of view in the preservation of sound and stable government in South Carolina, while not ignoring the importance of outside' matters. Unless the people are greatly deluded, we cannot believe that they will endorse this movement of the Alliance. The reform movement in South Carolina has been ridden for all sorts of purposes, but this effort to saddle aod bridle the reformers in the interest of the third party will surely fail. At any rate, the issue will be made from henceforth, and for one we are glad to know that there is to be greater certainty as to where politicians stand in the future. We have had too many of the half-breeds in the last few years, and it is time to separate the true from the false. It is not a question of faction among Democrats, but whether the organization in this State can main? tain itself by proclaiming doctrines that are inimical to the Democratic party itself.-Greenville Mountaineer. The Secret of National Dis tress. The New York World a few days ago published ao interview with Mr. William C. Whitney, ex-Secretary of the Navy, io which he insisted on tariff reform as a question of more vital im? portance than tbe repeal of the Sherman act, although he is in accord with President Cleveland on that. He be? lieves that is a step, and a neoessary step, in the right direction,- bnt far from being a full remedy for the ills which afflict the American people. Dwelling on the importance of tariff reform, ho says ; "But I do not wish to be regarded as" considering the repeal of the Sherman law a permaent cure for our national ills. I look upon repeal as a palliative, not a panaoea. The currency question is not the most vital one with which we have to deal. The poison 1res deeper. No temporary anodyne of financial legis? lation will eradicate it. The silver scare will not be long over before some other scare will begin, unless we go to the bottom of the trouble and get the business aod industry of the county off the artificial basis upon which it is be? ing conducted and upon solid ground again. Tho country's prosperity will never be permanently established while ao annual tax of three or four hundred millions is laid up its industries'. "No mattor what disguise it may as? sume, our present tariff system is essen? tially a tax upon the producing and in? dustrial classes. The National Govern? ment is supported by a tax. not ujron property, but upon consumption. Tbe tariff is assessed,oot upon what men own, but upon what they eat and drink aod wear. It is too largely a per capita tax, tinder it it is easily possible that a poor man with a large family may be j compelled to pay more taxes for the support of the National Government than an economical millionaire with only himself to keep. An averago man in the middle and lower classes, makiug income a basis of classification, spends, say 75 per cent, of his income for food and clothing The average rich man cannot spend over 5 per cent, of his income for the same purpose. National taxes being levied as they are, the general mass of the people, the pro? ducing and industrial classes and the great body of merohants, tradesmen and professional men, pay fifteen times as much tax in proportion to their means as the rich man. There lies the secret of national distress. "The only permancut remedy is in a The Christian Endeavor Convention at Montreal It WM a happy thought foi tho #e*. Fraocia E.

This mid in 1881. "Christian Endeavor" ia. ai once a watchword and an inspiration. The gathered thousands assembled late? ly in the picturesque and foreign-look? iog old city of Montreal, met. frot? dajf today io crowded cb?roli?s, sang hymns with enthusiasm, prayed d?font-' ly, debated and listened to speeches and made them just as a similar throng did last sommer io New Yorx.

In ch arch-Work it is oheri fouod that while there te no divis?tfo xi interests, there is separation of ititereii on the part of the oldef rind younge? members of the organisation1.
