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- i tobacco seed for •baeeo.

Three years of such leadership has yield ed the opposite results. Higher taxes and lower cotton. Tne mai- ses of the farmers are in a ver much worse condition, " * u ® leaders have plucked the fat offices in the state. Northern was made ordsays: “From another and usually well formed source comes the report that the Russian authorities are ac- cumulatingvast stores of grain at Beni a miserable little villiage on the Roumanian frontier, where are three long railway sidings that were evidently constructed as aids to rapid military operations. These indications and others that haxe been recently published justify Hie belief expressed by manp that Rus sia is in a dilemma that will compel that country to engage in a foreign war as preferable to the dangers of famine and revolution at home Re this as It may, all signs aboard are warnings to the United Mates of the necessity and wisdom of rats ing the largest crop of cereal-snext vear that this country has ex er pro duced. Southern farmers, especi ally. should take warning and raise their own foodstuffs.” Everv acre planted in tobacco decreases the cotton acreage that i«h. A benefit both ways. W e believe the Florida Cuban tobacco will grow right along on our gra> lands in this section.—Montezuma 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 accessible to the public eye. IS.

Bainbridge la the county seat of the county of Decatur—the largest la area oi any county in the State of Georgia—-situ ated at the Western terminus of the S. r. & W.R.R., running from Sax'annah and the Eastern terminus of the Alabama Midland Railroad—running from Mo n tg o m e ry Alabama—on tho Eastern bank of Flint river, a beautiful boldstream navigable the year round for large steam boats, from all points. South ana West; situated in the centre of a county, with an area of nearly 2,500 square miles, made up of the greatest variety of soil, cox'ered all over "ith mag nificent forests of every variety incident to climate and soil; from magiuhcent hills covered with oak and hickory, pine and magnolia—whose feet are bathed in beauti ful clear streams, abounding in fish, to broad spreading valleys; savannas encir cled with towering pine and broad spread ing live oak, magnolia, cedar, gum and "•press—undor whose umbrageous shade „he earth lies rich in resources, carpeted with native grasses, where eattle, sheep and swine thrive through every season without shelter or feed from their owners. Bainbridge Is 23C miles from Savavanah, miles from the Florida, and 85 froni the ubama line; and 60 miles from the Gull ,,, Mexico; during the heated term is con stantly fanned by scabreozes, resindadened, from contact with the intermediate piue forests, and uncontaminated by malarial lnlluenees. The climate Is mud ar.d equable, and as healthy as can be found anywhere; the air, pure and dry.and most beneficial for pulmonary diseases of all kinds. Her Artesian Waters are unexcelled anywhere in the world, and the supply abundant, and free to all who will partake.
