The people of the United States will
submit to a good deal of Italian inso
lence before they will go to war. Not
that they are afraid of anything the
Italians can do—but they dread the pen
sion agents.— 1 Telegraph.
Jkhry ^impson says that the Farm*
ers’ Alliance expects to repeal the Mc
Kinley tariff. If Jerry will lead the
forces to the consummation of this vic
tory for right, he will deserve to have
free socks the balance of his life.
T:ik Quitman Press says: Col. Liv
ing''on is ineligible to ro-election to the
office of president of the State Alliance.
Section 1, of Article VI. of the constitu
tion of the State Alliauco reads: “The
president shall continue in office not
longer than two years in succession.”

MIL SEARCY'S CANDIDACY.
In this issue of The Times-Ricoh per
appears the announcement of Mr. W.
E. H. Searcy, of Griffin, for the presi
dency of the State Farmers* Alliance.
The editor of The Timek-Kecobder
ha« known Mr. Searcy for twenty years;
has lived among his family and rela
tives, and knows that no better man
ever offered for any office in Georgia.
The farmers may go farther and do
much worse than to elect Mr. Searcy,
who possesses all the requisites for a
successful administration of the office to
which lie aspires.
His card states strongly his views and
posltiou; lie is widely and favorably
known in Georgia, and the alliance men
can trust not only his integrity but bis
capacity.
He has inaugurated a number of en
terprises in Griffin for the benefit of the
Alliance, among which are an Alliance
oil mill, ginnery, guano factory, agri
cultural works and an Alliance bank.
These are the true politics that the
farmers want to cultivate. Manufactur
ing at home instead of buying abroad is
the key at last to independence, and the
more the lines laid out by Mr. Searcy are
practiced, the better will become the
condition of the farm ors.
The “political rights” of the farmors
of Georgia are their rights to become in
dependent and self-sustaining, raise
their supplies at home and havo money

When President Harrison reads that
only six of the 144 Republican members
of the New Hampshire legislature de
sire his renominatiou, he will certainly
conclude that the rumor that New
Hampshire has not a republican form of
government has some foundation. Has
this phenomenon anything to do with
the resignation of Senator Edmunds?
The Alliance over in Mississippi is very
much divided on the sub-treasury ques
tion, and the loaders are endeavoring to
settle the difference. What Mississippi
farmers need to do in a political way for
thoir amelioration is to continue to elect
good Democrats to Congress who will
vote for free coinage and tariff reform.
These needod measures cannot bo long
delayed, and when they come the farm
ers will hare all the relief that national
legislation can afford them.—Age
