HX'ECTII’TUD
THISOFFIOE—-—
g^bscribe"lor _ the Home Journal, c
at
Ocala. One of the principal ques
tions considered will be the policy
of the organization for 1892. A
group of Alliancemen sat around a
table at national headquarters to
day and speculated on the future.
In the party were two alliance con
gressmen elect, one from the west,
and one from the south. Said the
western brother: “The national
congress and the national farmers’
alliance will both convene in the
first week in December, one in this
city and the other in the city of
Ocala, Fla., and the president of
the United Slates.and the presi
dent of the farmers alliance will
submit to the people their annual
messages.”
They talked of 1892, and the
unanimous conclusion was that
President Harrison would not be a
candidate again. “But,” said the
western congressman-elect, “the
wise and conservative administra
tion of President Polk, of the alli
ance, looking to a perfect unifica
tion of all agricultural orders, and
a combination of farmers and
workingmen throughout the. coun
try, has been of such a far-reach
ing character, and so well conduct
ed, that he will be unanimously re
elected president of the alliance.
President Polk, in the. administra
tion of the affairs of the alliance,
has done much to allay bitterness
and antagonism within the order,
and its harmonious condition at
present is largely due to his ad
ministration .
'Sectionalism is fast dying out,”
continued the congressman-elect,
“and it is not impossible thut the
people’s party will have a ticket in
the field in 1892. If we do nomi
nate one we will have a Pacific
coast or a western man, with a
southern man. One will be a
former republican, the other an
ex-democrat.”
The party fell to figuring. It
may be interesting to know how
they divided the states, using, of
course, the old electoral vote. Here
is their arrangement:
Surely republican in 1892—
Maine, 6; Vermont, 4; Pennsylva
nia, 30! Ohio, 23. Total 63.
Surely democratic—New York,
I; New Jersey, 9; Delaware, 3;
Maryland, 8; Texas, 13; Kentucky,
9, Total, 78.
Sure for the people’s party—
North Carolina, 11; South Caroli
na, 9; Georgia, 12; Kansas, 9; Ne
braska, 5; Michigan, 13; Mississip
pi, 9; North Dakota, 3; South Da
kota, 4; Minnesota, 7. Total, 82.
Good fighting ground—Alabama,
10; Arkansas, 7; California, 8; Col
orado, 3; Florida, 4; Hlinois, 22;
Indiana, 15; Iowa, 13; Louisiana,
8; Missouri, 14; Tennessee, 12;
Virginia, 12; West Virginia, 6,
Wisconsin, IT. Total, 145.
The argument is that in all of
the states given as fighting ground,
the farmers’ and laborers’ organi
zations are, or will be, strong
enough to hold the balance of pow
er. One of the party put the plan
in this way: “In states where the
democratic party is in the minori
ty, the people’s party will fuse with
the democrats, each of the parties
in the fusion 'to receive an equal
share of the electoral votes. The
same will be done with republicans
where they are in the minority.
That will insure us a full and fair
vote, north, south, east and west,
something that is most devoutly
Wished for. The probabilities of
a third party coming into the field
will confuse the plans of the old-
line politicians. No one can so ea
sily determine in advance the pos
sibilities of the future on that line
as those who are in the secret
councils of the farmers alliance.
Therefore, the advantages in the
triangalar contest will be ours. In
the light of these possibilities the
meeting of our national congress
at Ocala will be the most important
gathering of farmers and laboring
men ever held in this country.
We will there consider our policy
for 1892.”
Speaking of the organization of
the next house, tbe southern mem
ber-eleet said: “We are not .taking
muoh interest in the organization
of the house; it is the work that the
.house will accomplish that inter-
ests us most. If the democrats
carry out in good faith the pledges
parties and received nothing, we
will look out for the alliance alone
in the congressional elections in
1892. Congressman Springer has
already declared in advance that
he is opposed to our plans of get,
ting financial relief for the people.
Mills, of Texas, is opposed to us,
and tn fact most of the old demo
cratic leaders oppose ns, and claim
the res alt of the recent elections to
be due to their good management
of the campaign. We have a man
who will be heard from at the
proper time, as our choice. He
comes from west of the Mississip
pi, is a farmer and a statesman,
His name is Hatch. We will have
votes enough to elect him, taken
from his own democratic strength.”

Wilderness Cure for Poor Sight.
Albany Argus.
Edward Sturtevant, sou of D. W.
Sturtevant, of this city, has been
sojourning in the wilderness all
the summer near Old Valley
Dodge, northerly of Boonville,
says the Amsterdam Sentinel. He
lives in a shanty alone, save occa
sional visitors who share his hos
pitality.
Mr. St urtevant entered tlie woods
last June, at the ad*iee of physi
cians, to seek restoration of im
paired vision. The experiment
has proven so advantageous and
beneficial that Mr. Sturtevant pro
poses to remain there during the
coming winter. He has sent home
for his winter clothing to be for
warded to him. Mr. Sturtevant is
a machinist, and was employed in
the Edison electric light machine
works at Schenectady. In his syl
van retreat he whiles away the
time in reading, hunting and fish
ing, and seems entirely content
with his surroundings. The for
mer vigor of bis optic’ nerves*is
rapidly returning, and he has con
cluded to remain in the woods un
til a perfect cure is attained.
Since July 19th the outgo from
the United States treasury has
been $163,000,000, or $70,000,000
in excess of receipts. Of thisamaz-
; excess $50,000,000 went for
pensions, and $13,000,000 in new
Dotes for the purchase, of silver.
Then-. $100,000,000 went to Wall
street in the purchase of bonds, to
ease that insatiable market It was
not a drop in the bucket. It only
prompted wilder speculation, and
probably precipitated the impend
ing crash.
It is said the democratic majori
ty in Texas was so large, this year
that it had to be counted in sec

Blow Your Nose.
Alas, too often an admonition
of a mother to her child. The
poor innocent has probably inher
ited catarrh, and is not responsible
for its sore and filthy nostrils. Did
youknowtbat tender soft thin skin
lining the nostrils, called the mu
cous membrane, extends all "over
the body. Every organ in the sys
tem, and every orifice at the sur
face has this thin delicate lining as
a proctector. So you see what a
fix the body is thrown into when
the mucous membrane becomes ir
ritated and- inflamed by constant
friction with poisonous matter in
the blood. Catarrh, leueorhea and
piles result frequently from this
condition of-affairs.. These dis
eases are mere symptoms of im
poverished blood. Now B B B or
Botanic Blood Balm, will, by en
riching the blood, cause all snch
symptoms to disappear. Give it a
trial.
Henry Reeves, Shellman, Ga.,
writes: “Any man or woman who
is suffering from piles and will not
use Botanic Blood Balm is a fool,
and it takesone to tell them so,for I
suffered.two years with bleeding
piles, and B B B relieved me at
once.”
J. J. Hardy, Toccoa, Ga., writes:
“B B B is a quick cure for catarrh.
Three bottles cured me. I had
been troubled several years.”
James W. Lancaster, Hawkins-
ville, Ga., writes: “My wife was
in. bad health'for eight years. Five
doctors, and as many, or more, pat
ent medicines had done her no
good. Six bottles of B B B has-
cured her.” I
men, no matter what their
eircumstances'and condition may
be, have to meet demands coming
upon them from varied sources.
And no altErnative is left them
bat to meet these demands and
succeed, or evade them and fail.
We, of the south, who remember
the days of ante-bellum, .readily
recognize the great difference in
the demands made upon us now and
th'bserinade upon us then. Indeed
we readily see that a perfect revo
lution has been made in this par
ticular. This is especially true in
the great field of labor. We can
but assent to the trnth that now,
ever j man must rely for the neces
sities and comforts of life as well
as for success in any field, upon his
own physical or mental exertion.
The days of slavery or involun
tary servitude and the customs at
taching are no more, and those
once accustomed to these must re
alize this truth and the • further
fact that, in the changes that have
come over us, the demand is upon
us for relying upon ourselves for
the menial service that naturally
comes in the life of all.
The pressing demand now upon
us is that we must assume to our
selves the drudgery of the fields,
of the farm, of the home and its
departments, and an independence
of servants and hirelings.
These demands, all must recog
nize; to them all must conform.
And he, who fails to do-both, will
reap more or less failure, and be
left behind in the race for success,
no matter what vocation or calling
he may pursue. It is demanded
of each and all of us now that tbe
idea that menial service is below
the level to which honorable men
should stoop, must be eradicated
from the mind.
This is a most important lesson
that the young|and, middle aged
people, especially of the south,need
to learn, and we are glad to see
and know that many of j them are
taking hold of this lesson with a
readiness and a will. That the
tendency of ex-slaves and their
posterity to pash these demands
upon the white race is daily and
annually growing stronger, is too.
patent to admit of a denial. While
in this manifestation there may
loom up, in the prophetic visions
of some, hardships for the future,
yet' we regard it as an omen of
good to the country. Its practical
operations can bnt result in mak
ing the while race more hardy,
more self-dependent and necssari-
ly more energetic and prosperous.
It will do away with the prevalent
disposition among the more intelli
gent to rely too much upon inferi
ors who can not and do not labor
with intelligence and care.
Hence the-best course for south
rons of all all classes to persne is
to intelligently and readily con
form to the demands that time’s
changes naturally bring npon them.
A Chicago inventor ^claims to
have produced a machine for pick
ing cotton’that will do the work in
the. Southern fields for one-tenth

is estimated at nearly $100,000,000

it, the saving effected will be not
much less than S90,000,000 a year.

sponding to that which has caused
the lands of New Jersey to pro
duce like a garden, is found in im
mense quantities at various points
points in the hilly region. The
period is not distant when the peo
ple of Houston and adjacent coun
ties, will learn the intrinsic value
of this marl, and utilize it as a
cheap, certain, and enduring fertil
izer. Careful analysis shows that
this green sand marl contains a
percentage of phosphoric acid and
a larger percentage of potash. It
has a history which demonstrates
its excellence as a fertilizer by re
sults from its use in New Jersey,
Delaware, Maryland, and other
states. Experiments here cannot
fail to prove its great value in re
deeming worn out lands, or giving
fertility to such as are naturally
barren. This marl is good on any
kind of soil, whether sandy or lime,
and it never causes growing vege
tation to burn.

indications of phosphatic deposits,
and the time is near when proper
explorations will develop both bone

matter to induce him to stay upon
the farm. Demonstrate either by
personal results or illustrated ex
amples that there is money in farm
ing, and he will consider the ques
tion as a business.
Again because of inconvenience
of arrangement, there is a deal of
drudgery on the farm. Much of
this can be avoided. These incon
veniences put the business at a
disadvantage in tbe mind of the
farmer’s boy, who sweating under
unnecessary loads, determines ii*
his heart that he will -not choose
any such pursuit for a lifetime ser
vice of burden bearing. Make
work easy in the nse of every pos
sible convenience of arrangement
about the barns, and in the fields,
that every effort expended
brings a return, and the boys will
then see the business with many of
its objectionable hindrances re-
removed. Farming, as generally
pursued, is made very objectiona
ble because we do not properly pre
pare for it. Possibly a greater ob
jection is still found in allowing no
dividends of the business to come
to the boys. A long service, with
out personal results, is wearying to
the flesh and disgusting to the
tastes.
It will not do to tell the boy that
he is being fed and clothed, and
possibly educated somewhat. To
his mind this would seem to follow
as a matter of duty, and not so
mneb ns a matter.of service. Be
sides, we do not want the service
of our boys as machine work. We
want some spirit and ambition in
the matter. To get it we must di
vide the spoils.
Properly managed, any farmer
will make money by offering some
indneement to his boys to labor.
To a little fellow turn over the
chickens to care for and give him
part of the profits; to a larger boy
give a piece of ground.for a patch
of his own, with the absolute con
trol of all its proceeds. To the
young man give a share in ypnr
business, and all along let them
feel that they are receiving a re
ward for their labors, and the borne
will become more attractive, the
business more remunerative, and
the pursuit in life judiciously de
termined.

Spiders’ Web Cloth.
•
Washington Post.
Perhaps’.the most novel idea in
the textile line is that of an En
glishman named Shllbers, who, it
is said, has actually made a cloth
of spiders’ web which has been em
ployed for purposes of surgery. A
gentleman traveling through the
country, who recently stopped in
Washington, stated that this man
Stillbers has gone quite extensive
ly into this spider-web cloth mak
ing- .
The spiders are obtained from
tropical countries, mostly frnm Af
rica and South America, and are
very large. A peculiar feature of
the business is that the spiders
spin the best web when they are
intoxicated. To accomplish this a
liquid composed of chloroform,
ether and fusil oil is allowed slow
ly to evaporate in the room where
the spiders are housed, and they
are thus kept constantly in a mild
state of intoxicatton. The temper
ature of the atmosphere is main
tained at sixty degrees. These lit
tle creatures, which are usually
heartily despised, are placed in oc
tagonal cases, and are fed daily on
smaller insects of various kinds.
In one room there are some 5,000
of these cases. The spiders lay
their eggs, and about the latter
Spin cocoons. These cocoons are
gathered, and are prepared for
weaving by some such chemical .
and mechanical processes as are
undergone by the cocoon of the silk
worm. The process of the weav
ing itself is a closely guarded se
cret. Each cocoon is said to yield
from twenty-five to one hundred
yards of thread. The texture of
the woven material resembles some
what ordinary silk, and after it is
bleached it becomes brilliant and
smooth.
The Perfection of Politeness.
New York Ster.
In a company in which I found
myself recently the conversation
turned upon politeness, which
some one well defined as “timely
thoughtfulness, with human sym
pathy behind it.” Une member of
the party told of the most thorough
bit of true politeness he ever saw.
'Some time ago,” said he, “a
friend of miue gave a little dinner,
to which a young friend, his wife
and their little child were invited.
The child, only three years old,was
a .very precocious, bashful and ter
ribly sensitive little one. During
the dinner she upset a gloss of wa
ter upon the table cloth, and hasti
ly noticing the looks in her direc
tion, her little lip quivered and her
eyes filled with tears.
“At that moment my friend, who
gave the dinner, knocked over his
own glass with a crash that drew
every eye in his direction. He
