MuCONNKLL Ast* <iF.o. s. riftl.l.irs. Kuirum asp lTmr*irr»M. C.rnesvtUe,«... December 12, _ ..... . EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED. The tax on firms dealing in futures in Georgia has been raised from $500 to $10,000. This is a black eye for futures. Those who do not Ix-liove that the Alliance aims to form a third party, we refer them to President Polk's statement in annthor column. Polk, MeCune and Livingston were all censured at the recent National Alliance convention for their action in the Georgia Senatorial race. President Polk, of the Alliance, say* “Ben” Harrison and “Jim” Blaine. He will give these two dis¬ tinguished gentlemen to understand that he is some “punkin” himself. The Alliance retained MeCnnc in the high office of chairman of the national legislative committee, not¬ withstanding he is covered with sus¬ picion, both in and out of the order. The National Alliance convention passed resolutions condemning the force bill. The people are against the force bill, and tile autocrats will find it out to their sorrow in the near future. President Polk, of the Alliance, says he is nearer the farmers of the South than any man, and that he knows that the Democratic party can no longer control them. We hope the gentleman is mistaken. Livingston showed great progress in his financial ideas at the Ocala convention. lie was broad enough to ask the convention to extend the sub-treasury plan to all merchanta¬ ble products instead of farm prod¬ ucts, but the convention did not en¬ courage his progress. One Mr. Rittonhouse and Secretary Blaine have been juggling on the Al¬ liance vote in '92. Rittenhouse is private secretajy of L. L. Folk, pres¬ ident of the National Alliance, and James G. Blaine is the most promi¬ nent leader in tho Republican party. The trade in detail* will appear later. There is a sensation in Georgia just now concerning the lease of the State road. It is in doubt as to whethor or not the State and the old lessees can make a settlement with¬ out going into tho courts, and if such be the case the State will not be able to turn over the road to the new les¬ sees unencumbered the first of Janu¬ ary, which would release the new lessees from their obligation. One of the delegates to the Na¬ tional Alliance convention closed a speech in opposition to the sub-treas¬ ury bill thus: “We must never lose sight of this principle, that the United States government lias no money ex¬ cept that it raises by taxation from the people, and the purpose for which that money is raised is not to loan out, but to defray the necessary expenses of the government.” Larry Gantt used very poor judg¬ ment when he tackled Editor Craig, of the Jackson Herald. Editor Craig may be a little too pugnacious at times, but lie makes his tights in a manly way and plainly from convic¬ tion, while Larry i* conspicuously the opposite while fighting an opponent. The editor who is as unmanly as Larry, and sends out as niueh edito¬ rial slush as lie, should be lashed on all side* just in the way that Craig has done it. Dr. MeCune secured a loan of $2,000 from Pat Calhoun just before the Senatorial election, giving as col¬ lateral a check on the Economist’s bank account, but admits himself that the paper had nothing to its credit at the time. These facts w’ere brought out by a committee of investigation at the National Alliance convention, McCmie's untiring work in behalf Calhoun for Senator, and this amount of money from Fat with- out good collateral looks very cious. Others doubtless but have not been caught up with. The Third Party Move. Ever since the Alliance as an order entered politics and formulated plat- fnrms the formation of anew pohti- cal party lias seemed to be inevitable. The leaders in the order have all alo "S d ‘ nied ,hc ,hird P art V fvatnr *’ - \j Ut rC r 01 ,t developments places the matter beyond doill.t, as the Natioiml Alliance convention which has J jllst dosed # in Oosla, Fla., was made up of delegates that represented the sen¬ timent* of the entire order, and they lar Y‘‘ 1 v fnv<m ' d i( • - The North and West were both ready for the organization of a third party, and the race problem was all that kept the South from consenting, President Polk and Met 'line are both favorable to the movement. Living¬ ston is *oft on the matter, and would doubtless be more outspoken in its favor hut he fears his constituency at home. It i* to be hoped that the South will ding to Democracy, for the greatest calamity that could be¬ fall our fast developing country i* a division in the ranks of her white people. Col. Livingston expressed himself while speaking of the South's final action as regard* the independ¬ ent movement, that the Democrats would yet accept the Alliance plat¬ form*, and that there would be no room for division. In this Col. Liv¬ ingston talks to hear himself. De¬ mocracy has never yet abandoned her platforms to accept others, and it is unreasonable to expect her to at this late day, after fighting the bat¬ tles of the people in and out of sea¬ son for so long a time. From the nature of the political situation the Alliancemcn of the South will in the near future be forced to do one of two things. They will have to either accept Democratic platform* and keep the white people united, or form an independent party and divide the white people. The Status of the Alliance. President Polk has the following to say considering the political status of the Alliance: “I fail to sec any evidence that either ot' the old political parties is attempting to influence the Alliance politically, or creating dissention in its ranks. If such influences were at work, I think I would have seen it. It is not true, in my opinion, that they control or can control the South¬ ern members of the Alliance. I know that the party harness never hung so loosely upon the people as now. If the Democrats in the Fifty-second congress do not grant our demand*, the third party is inevitable, and the Southern Democratic Alliancemcn will he in it. 1 know what I am talk¬ ing about in making that statement. No man is nearer the people in the Southern Alliance than I am, and I know tliat I represent them correctly when 1 say they are determined to gain the end they are striving for, and will not hesitate to smash the Democratic or any party which tights them. “At the same time the Alliance is not going to endorse the third party or any other, now or in the future. Does the action of to-day look like the Democrats control ? We reiter¬ ated every one of our demands and there were only three votes against the financial plan. The question was discussed in every possible manner for four hours, and there was no sign of weakening in the ranks. “Yes, it is true that the sub-treas¬ ury plan does not contain the 80 per cent clause, but it retains the vital principles of loans on farm products. It is true, too, that government own¬ ership of railroads is made conditional instead of peremptorily, but that was by no means the result of Democratic influence. I admit that we made a mistake in acting upon the force hill. The vote expresses the sentiment of the delegates, but it is a purely par¬ tisan measure, and we had no busi¬ ness under our constitution to touch it. “I do not see much significance in the Blaine story. What if Ritteu- house did call on him? He had a right to call if lie wanted to, and it does not necessarily signify a corrupt purpose on his part. I consider that I have a perfect right to go to Jim Blaine’s house, or Ben Harrison’s, or to see any public man I please.” The Alliance Platform. The platform adopted by the Alli¬ ance at Ocala is an endorsement of the St. Louis platform in the main, The sub-treasury scheme was consid- erably modified, striking out the 80 per cent clause, and extended it to farm products instead of five specific products, as in the St. Louis plat- form. One new plank was added to the platform, that is, that the govern- loan money ou land as col- lateral. SATURDAY’S LECTURE. A Learned and Eloquent Lectnre by Prof. Morgan H. Looney. Those who attended Prof. Looney’s lecture at the academy last Saturday know how great it was, but those who were absent will never know, as we have nobody to give it justice. Prof. Looney’s lectures and speech¬ es are always scholarly and interest¬ ing, but on this occasion he rose to the plane of the real orator, display¬ ing a genius and learning that few men can attain. It has been our good fortune to bear some of the most distinguished men in the country lecture, but none bore laurels that I’rof. Looney would not have plucked last Saturday morning. “The pen is mightier than the sword” was his subject. The subject presented a broad field from which to draw his inexhaustible resources of learning. Bulwcr, who wrote this grand truth on which tlit; lecture was delivered, were he living, would feel honored to have the companionship of a man who, by induction could unfold so much grand truth from his short sen¬ tence. The boy or girl, the young man or young woman, who attends such lectures and does not determine to elevate him or herself is without ambition, for they are full of encour¬ agement and inspiration. One such lecture is worth more to a sensible ambitious young man than many montlis schooling under many of the teachers. In a Nutshell. To Carnesville theoretical prohibi¬ tionists: A responsible citizen in¬ forms us that a distillery has been run within two miles of Carnesville for the past twelve months. And yet Carnesville is overflowing with earnest, honest prohibitionists! To a man up a tree such zeal in a cause is a little bit Tribune. To Carnesville’s apologctieal anti¬ prohibit ionists: The cause of temper¬ ance, so far as you are concerned, will not improve much, as you are neither practical nor “theoretical” prohibitionists. —Ekteiii’Kisk. The above paragraph from Tun F.XTKr.rrtisi: may mean one thing and it may mean another. We’ll confess that we don’t know what it does mean. If Mr. McConnell intends to indicate that the‘Tribune editor is a practical and theoretical anti-prohi¬ bitionist, then our readers must have the benefit of such a palpably ludi¬ crous joke.—Tribune. We have never believed the editor of the Tribune anything but a sincere prohibitionist. We have had many evidences to sustain this belief, but the above paragraph was not in spirit with her past utterances, and we did not believe she wrote it. It was evi¬ dent to us that the paragraph was not written in the interest of prohibition, but to east personal reflections. This plain statement from us that we be¬ lieve the editor of the Tribune a sin¬ cere prohibitionist night to be final. Essence of Ginger. Men used to buy essense of ginger for its legitimate use for the most part, but now they seem to want it only to perpetuate drunkenness when their liquor gives out, or to “sober up on,” as they call it. The writer lias sold it, as almost all other merchants have, but its use then as a beverage was not so extensive as now. But the fact that we once sold it as other reputable merchants did, does not, in our opinion, debar us from urging merchants to quit selling it where its legitimate use is being abused. We are proud to know that we have more of the confidence and friendship of gentlemen who have been selling os- sence of ginger in Carnesville, and have quit since they saw its growing injuries, than those who would justify them in their continuance of its sale. The Twitty Bill. The Twitty bill was taken up by the Senate agricultural committee last Friday. One amendment was adopted and the bill was reported fa¬ vorably. That amendment leaves the bill just like it has been on amounts not exceeding $100. On amounts exceeding $100 and not more than $600 6 per cent, attorney’s fees is allowed, and for amounts over $600 2$ per cent. This seems to be fair to all. The Ssnatorship ia South Carolina. The South Carolina legislature failed to elect a United States sena¬ tor the first day. The alliance would not vote with the Tilmanite* liecaose of Tilman’s opposition to the sub¬ treasury, etc. Gen. Hampton may yet be elected. The Georgia Legislature is badly behind with its work. Subscribe for The ExTEnmnsu. ct=r CARNESVILLE HIGH SCHOOL. Names of Pupils in School the Pres¬ ent Session.
