Who Did It.
The Democrat asks
reading of the following editorial
from the Valdosta Times. It is a
strong presentation of a subject of
ital importance. The man who
wrote it is if we are not mistaken,
an Alliancemen. At any rate he
has always been recognized by the
Alliace members in his county as
one of their strongest and most
loyal friends.
Here is the editorial:
The Southern Alliance Farmer,
of last week, stated that upon re
liable reports from different sec
tions of the State it is learned that
sub-alliances are disbanding,’ and
members arc growing luke-warm
and discouraged. ‘In some coun
ties’ continued the same authority,
our membership, in the last few
months has fallen off 25 per cent.’
editor Larry adds:
In quitting our order, the retiring
members says that times are hard,
and they cannot see what pecuniary
benefit the organization has been
to them ; that a set of officers are
kept in easy jobs, while the poor
clodknockers has to pay the sala
ries. Some of them object to the
position of certain of our members
on the railroad question ; the em-
barrasment of the State exchange
discouraged others. Then this
premature injetion of the Third
party issue into the Alliance has
helped to disturb matters, and
created dissatisfaction because our
officers did not declare themselves
ahead of the February convention.
The People’s Party paper agrees
that it is true that the Alliance is
rapidly declining, but it enters a
ehement protest against the last
reason assigned above and strikes
back at Col. Livingston. It says
in rejoinder:
When Colonel Livingston at
Ocala insisted on changing the
ilatform adopted at St. Louis the
year before from a demand for
government ownership of railroads
to government control, ho then and
there inserted the thin edge of the
wedge "which has let in a flood of
suspicion, with the result as stated
in the Southern Alliance Farmer
above given.
Following this change ho forced
a candidate upon our people for
United States Senator who could
not, by any possibility, have been
accepted as such upon the plat
form as it was before being
changed.
It sounds a little odd too to hear
Pro. Larry talking about “this
premature injection of the Third
party issue,” when some months
ago we were all cheering his own
proposal to start a Third party
paper, he going so far as to pur
chase the type and outfit and set
the day when his first issue was to
appear. Come, come, Bro. Gantt,
you know as well as we that it is
not the premature injection of the
Third party issue that ails the Alli
ance, but the holding of tho mem
hers back when they wanted to
give expression to their intentions
of standing with their Western
brethren in the People’s party
They are not deceived by the plea
that “this was to be an educational
year.” etc.,
They wanted to pass a resolution
favoring the People’s Party at the
State Alliance, and felt themselves
restrained by a few men whom
they had elected to Congress
Is it any wonder that the mem
bership is becoming confused and
luke-warm under such circum-
staces ?
We think not.
If Colonel Livingston will come
squarely out for the People’s party
and lead boldly and unequivocally
in the direction in which alone re
lief is to be obtained and in the
direction indicated by the people
t.iemselves, the Alliance will rally
and not only regain all its old
strength but add to it a large per
cent, of “honest and true men,’
who will never join it so long as
there is any doubt as to where it is
tending politically
Those are the views of Editor
Larry Gantt and Editor Elam
Christian, respectively, as to the
cause of the falling off the Alliance.
We present them as being interest-
ing to say tho least.
The truth is, both of them haxe
assigned some good reasons, but
neither of them have given all the
reasons.
In the beginning Alliancemen
were told that if they would follo w
implicitly they would
governor, Livingston, Watson,
Everett, Winn and Moses were
sent to Congress, and are drawing
fat salaries, and numberless small
er leaders fill less important, but
pay offices, while the masses have
been paying dues and assesments
for their pains. So far from re
deeming their pledges these lead
ers have led them from bad to
worse.
It is no wonder that so many of
the thinking men among them are
discouraged; and it is to expected
that the wiser leaders like Living
ston should be busy at this time
making themselves solid with the
Democratic party; and that less
wise followers of Watson should be
striking insanely for a Third party.
It is la&ientable that so many in
the Alliance allowed themselves to
be drawn away from its originally
sound, non-political, non-partisan
platform of principles. It is great
ly to be regreted that unscrupulous
men should have’ been permitted
to prostitute this noble cause to
ignoble ends.
If there is yet any hope for the
people through the Alliance it is in
the Texas movement where the
work of regenerateing and recon
structing the order has been be
gun.
Many of our best people have
staked a great deal upon the Alli
ance. They believe firmly in its
principles, and yet hope for good
results, but the developments of
the last few months have not en
couraged them. If they cannot
shake off the place hunters and
schemers, the power for good in
the organization is gone.
This is the truth, and why conceal
it,
Good For The Farmers.
The plant recently outlined by
the Government’s Post office de
partment for enlarging the facili
ties of the department by giving a
serx'ice of free delivery in the ru
ral districts is certainly a good
scheme.
It is a positive disadvantage to
tho farmers of the country to that
they have such a poor postal com
munication with the outside world
They have to send, many of them,
five or six miles to a post office fre
quently and are even then given
but one or two mail a week per
haps. This prevents the farmer
from subscribing for a daily news
paper, which is a history of the
world for the last twenty four hours
before its publication. Hence, the
farmer is behind tho rest of the
world one week. This ought not to
be.
Our rural districts ought to have
a better postal service. We trust
the department will carry out the
the plan that has been promisingly
mapped out.
I’UST GRAIN.
The Manufacturers Record com
menting on the scarcity of grain in
Russia and the probable effect upon
the polciy of the country, urges up
on the Southern farmers especially
the pjopriety of raising their own
supplies of food. Preparation in
this line should begin now by sow
ing a large area of land in grain
Thorough preparation of the land
with a liberal application of cotton
seed or other fertilizers, will won
derfully improve the outlook for
foodstuffs, in this section. It is but
the part of wisdom and prudence
to have a good supply of food on
hand and in prospect against any
contingency which may arise by
revolution or otherwise. The Rec-

Law and Lawlessness.
£It is a discouraging fact that with
all our adx-ancement in science
arts and intelligence, the number of
the criminal class is increasing in
the United States at double the
rate of the total increase of popula
tion. And besides what the statis-
ics shoxv, it might probably be es
tablished that the number of
criminals who should, but do not
figure on the rolls of prisons and
conx-ict camps is increasing in
about the same ratio. What makes
the matter worse, the clas of crimi
nals that nex-er sees the gallows
nor penitentiary walls comprises
those who are most dangerous to
society and who escape the pennal-
ties of their crimes through the
xx'eakness of juries and the legal
subterfuges by which a conviction
made only a preliminary to a
trial in another court.
This class is further swelled by
the x’ictims of lynch law, are num
ber by hundreds ex-ery year. Let
a demon like Guiteau be placed
formally on trail and the jury
seems to hax-e an ox’erxvhelming
sense of the preciousness of human
life. But let the same jurymen go
in search of a murderer, with a
fresh scent of blood to kindle their
passions, and they behax'e as if
they regarded a man’s life as of no
more x'alue than that of a dog. If
they find a man whom they think
to be the guilty party they prompt
ly perform the combined functions
of justice of the peace, constable,
jury judge and hangman, and do
it cheerfully- And yet no one
among them would consent to dis
pense with or simplify our presen
system of dispensing justice, lioxv
ex'er costly and unsatisfactory it
may be.
The popularity of lynch law in
this country is a burning reproach
to the American people, but per
haps no more so than is the malad
ministration of justice in our
courts. The people have only
themselves to blame for both ex’il-.
If justice cannot be dispensed
through the legally constituted
courts, then recourse must be had
to J udge Lynch’s court. There are
crimes that- cull for vengeance as
with a thousand tongues, and if it
is an accepted fact that American
jurymen are constitutionally weak-
kneed, hoxv is vengeance or justice
to be had except by recourse to
grapevine and the nearest tree”.’
But if people go outside the law in
these matters they should not seek
to justify themselves by sayin
that they cannot trust the court,
since they themselves constitute
the juries, and also the legislature
in xx'hose power it lies to prevent
the law’s delays to a large extent.
The insuperable objection to
lynch laxv is tho extreme liability
of an excited populace to make
mistakes. In all probability hun
dreds of innocent persone have
manner fallen victims to popular
fury through groundless suspicion
and false accusation. And it is al
so true that many are conx-icted in
the courts of crimes of which they
are entirely innocent. A startiin
example of this is found in the
results of the trail of the ten
negroes suspected of the murder
of Thornton Nance of South
Carolina. All of the ten were
sentenced to he hnng on the 2,th
of last October, but the exection
xvas stayed by an appeal to the
supreme court, and a xveek ago
negro, not before suspected, cam
forxvard and confessed that he
alone committed the murder.
It is a fearful thing thus to send
an innocent man out of the xvorid,
at the same time blasting his re
putation and tainting that of his
relatives. It is a thought that
should be present not only with
ex'erv juryman, hut with ex-ery
member of a lynching party. No
man under any circumstances
should consent to the killing of a
helow being charged xvith a
felnous crime xvithout posuix'G
ex'idence of his guilt.
The Ocala Plattorin.
In response to numerous re
quest xve publish beloxv thex’arious
demands set forth in the celebra
ted Ocala platform. It is taken
from the columns of the Southern
Alliance * Farmer, and it is not!
necessary, therefore, to x’ouch for
its genuineness:
1. (a) We demand the abolition
of national banks.
(b) We demand that the Govern
ment shall establish sub-treasuries,
or depositories in the sex'eral States,
which shall loan money direct to
the people at a low rate of interest,
not to exceed 2 per cent, per an
num, on non-perishable farm pro
ducts, and also upon real estate,
with proper limitations upon the
quantity of land and amount of
money.
(c) We demand that the amount
of the circulating medium be
speedily increased to not less than
$70 per capita.
2. That we demand that Con
gress shall pass such laxvs as xvili
effectually prevent the dealing in
futures of all agricultural and
mechanical productions; providing
a stringent system of procedure in
trials that xvili secure prompt con-
x-iction, and imposing such penal
ties as shall secure the most per
fect compliance xvith the laxv.
3. We condemn the silx'er bill
recently passed by Congress, and
demand in lieu thereof the free
expense of another.
(b) We further demand a re
moval of the existing heavy tariff
tax from the necessitesof life, that
the poor of our land must hax’e.
(e) We further demand a just
and equitable system cf gradu
ated tax on incomes.
(d) We beliex’e that the money
of the country should be kept as
much as possible in the hands of
the people, and hence xve demand
that all-national and State rex-enues
ill be limited to the necessary
expenses of the Government, eco
nomically and honestly adminis
tered.
0. We demand the most rigid,
honest and just State and National
Governmental control and super-
x-ision of the means of public com
munication and transportation, and
if this control and supervision does
not remove the abuse now exist-
ve demand the Government
ownership of such means of com
munication and transportation.
7. We demand that the Congress
of the United States submit
amendment to tho Constitution
prox’iding for the election of
United States Senators by direct
x'ote of the people of each State.
This is Democracy.
The following are the Democrat-
articles of faith as laid down by
Thomas Jefferson:
1. The people, the only source of
legislative power:
2. The absolute and ex'erlasting sev
erance of church and State.
3. The freedom, sox'ereignty and in
dependence of tho respective States.
4. The Union a Confederacy, a com
pact; neither a consolidation nor a cen
tralization.
5. The constitution of the Union,
special "lit of granted powers, limited
and defined.
6. The civil paramount to the mili
tary power.
7. The representative to obey the in
struction of his constituents.
8. Elections free and suffrage uni-
versal.
9. No heriditary office, or order, or
title.
10. No taxation beyond the public
want.
H. No national debt, if possible.
12. No costly splendor of administra
tion.
13. No prescription of opinion or of
jiublic discussion.
14. No unnecessary interference in
individual conduct, property, or speech
15. No favored classes ane no monopo
15. No jiublic monies exjionded ex
cept by warrant of special appropria
tion.
17. No mysteries of government in
