"HOXEKT HAK’N FRIESD AND I'BO* TECTOK.” The conspiracy cases against the members ot what has been known as the "Honest Man’s Friend and Protector,” in the United States toiirt were argued on a demurrer file I on the ground that the conspiracy as charged in the bill ol inuictnieiit was a gen¬ eral conspiracy, when it should have been charged as a conspiracy against a panicu ar | cr o 1 or wit¬ ness. judge Newman sustained this demurrer, Underthis decis¬ ion the members belonging to this organization can now be indicted for every burning or depredation. We arc informed that they will be indicted in three eases, il not more. It looks gloomy tor these men, some of whom are clever fel¬ lows, but if they (under Judge Newman's ruling) are tried in three cases lor conspiring to in¬ jure Ak ; n, Ledford and Stonei', we tear they will get the worst of it. James Wigginion, YVnw L. Fields, Cicero I’adgctt, Hamilton Rich¬ ards, MonUville HHbcrt, David Wheeler, Thomas Rowland and Wm, McGaha. are in jail awaiting the meeting of the grand jury, when they will be indicted, and will likely he tried in June. it is generally believed by the friends ot these men that it would have been better for them to have gone to trial under the old indict¬ ment, and that this ruling of Judge Newman’s will cause more cases to be made out against them. This hand of men was broken up over a year ago and when ar¬ rested several of them turned state's evidence and by that means those who were tried in the Supe¬ rior court here were convicted. Seven arc now serving life senten¬ ces for arson—J. A. Lansdown, Seaborn Lansdown, John Forres¬ ter, Tom Fendley, Eli Fields, Tom Fields and Harrison Jones. Ten are now in Atlanta jail. George Coffey and Patton Millis turned state's evidence and are out on bond. Six left the country, to wit, Arch Grizzle, Andrew J. Lans¬ down, Alex Richards. Joe Rich¬ ards, John L, Coffey and Geo. W. Fields. A complete detailed ac¬ count of the whole matter was published in the Herald at the time of the breaking up of the or¬ ganization. Commenting upon what we said two weeks ago about Col. George R. Brown being one of the best prosecuting attorne) s on the Blue Ridge circuit, Bro. Ellington says he hopes “that the Hon. George will feel complimented, • • N ow, we simply mentioned a fact, and we don’t know now, nor did we consider before, how Col. Brown would feel about it. But, knowing the Herald as he does, we be¬ lieve he would consider a compli¬ ment from it to bg more genuine than one which came from any of that class of journals who are in the habit of boot-licking every one who has authority, We would like to know how many lawyers there are within the limits of this circuit who can excel Col Brown as a prosecuting attorney. He de¬ serves what we said about him, but r.o more. jijuericaN I’riile lias Retired l neon- qiiered. Most people cry out against prize fighting, and yet nearly ev¬ erybody is .interested in reading or hearing about it. This unquench¬ able spirit of hero worship has caused people everywhere to ad¬ mire the superior ability of John L. Sullivan, the uncopquered American,pugilist who has lately retired from the prize ring, This man may rightly be called the champion ot champions, for he de- Icndeil his title against coiners for nine years, and during that time met but one man who was able to give liiip anything li ve aj respecta¬ ble fight. Time, haul training and debauchery have told heavily on Sullivan, so he has absolutely re¬ tired from the prize ring. Frank 1 „ Slavin, . A .... Malian, . an us is now the champion of the world. The little clippings that Bro. Peterson puts between his patent medicine locals are copied by the Constitution and some other pers and credited to the Piedmont Republican, liis subscribers say there is nothing else in the paper worth reading: Tom WaUon’* Views. At a big Alliance Saturday, rally in Me- Duffle county i last . c . i r Co,,. C" - "™" Ion, Wat,on rousing speech He appealed to the farmers to stand tinned and fight together shoulder to ,ho„|. d, r for the reform, that have, been inaugurated. In .peaking of on- cational matters he declared in ta- V or of the state not only furnish- ing teachers but school books for the children. “Before we vote another dollar to the colleges," he said, “this should be done ” Here are other extracts from his speech: platform there “Ot the Ocala has been much discussion, But let us sec what its plan contains, l irst, an income tax. An income tax paid us $37,000,000 annually. Sixteen years ago the miliioaires squealed so loud, however, that it was repealed. These fellows ride about in private cars and sail around the world in private yachts. An income tax now would pay four times as mnch as then. Then added to this would he $10,000,000 from whisky and tobacco; from $12,000,- the 000 to $15,000,000 ex¬ press companies, and $10,000,000 to $15,000,000 from the insurance companies. This would give us j niore than $400,000,000 of revenue | without taxing the farmers a dnl- lar. “2. I’o make the necessaries of life tree of duty. “3. To abolish national banks. 4. To control or own railroads. We should also control or own the telegraph and express companies. “These are our principles. The man who says we want commun¬ ism is mistaken, and wc arc not after arraying one class against another. “Again we want $50 per capita in circulation. That will make prices go up and money easier to get. “There is another thing I want to tell you. In 1873 our national debt was $4,000,000,000. Wc have paid over $2,000,000,000 ot it, but on account of the shrinkage of labor it will now take more to pay the balance than it would have taken originally to have paid il all. The general increase in wealth has been about four and one half per cent, but you and I have to pa) - from 12 to 50. The men of large means are getting all of the money, those of small means losing all. “Cleveland stands just where Alexander Hamilton stood, even more so. Hamilton favored two metals as the basis of our curren¬ cy. Cleveland says gold should be the autocrat; with this single standard you get no more for your 8,000,000 bales of cotton than you get for your 6,000,000. The measuring rod of value being the gold standard, the products of la¬ bor are at its mercy. Whey they say Cleveland is a Jeffersonian democrat 1 deny it. His is the same as the Hamiltonian doc¬ trine of national bank favored classes, concentrated capita' and powerful incorporated wealth You may call it the Jeffersonian violin if you like, but it is nothing but the old Hamiltonian fiddle, and it's got to get out of here We want no more of it. “Tammany is the merest rag tag and bobtail set of gutter snipes It wants to dictate the policy to us, and it says, like old Kelly said, ‘if you don't take our candidate we will knife yours.’ Let the New York yankees go. They hate you. They wilt neve forget abo¬ lition and nullification. The wes¬ tern people cry to 11s to come to them As a proof that they mean it, they pull down Ingalls and his bloody shirt and put in a man in sympathy with us. They came to Ocala and ordered their senator: - to vote against the force bill. The bill was defeated. Now they have called us. Shall we join them? “I believe the next democratic nominee will come from the west He w.ll stand squarely on Ocala platform, and he will stand on it because it is right. Every time we talk of the Ocala platform our enemies cry word ‘subtreasury.' I pledge you my those con¬ gressmen's letters were the sim¬ plest I ever saw. I here was not enough weight of political econo¬ my in them to burden an ant. I never went crazy on the subtreaa- ury, but its underlying principles are as sound as a dollar. Labor is the basis of value. The products of labor arc the things money is intended to move. Money is the wheel, and labors products the burden to be moved. The volume of the one should be in proportion to the volume of the other. of the principles of the subtreasu- ry is to proportion the money to the business of the country. And this li to issue the monev to the people national without the inter- vcntion of the banks. A is to take from the ,' planter, , ab tbat coHatcra which he al , )ni cann<)t f ur „ , h .

If Perrv goes to the senate Rucker will be found swinging on behind like a .ai bucket. The W. & A. commissioners have been at work for several weens. It is believed by some that they will give the lessees the amount of taxes paid to Tennessee and will pay lor the rolling stock and other articles that could have been re¬ moved and used by the 1 ssees, but that nothing will be paid in the way of betterments for the fixtures of the road. To Sewsj-aper IL rrowers. Did you ever pause to reflect that you an a nuisance of the first water? Do you know that the neighbor from whom you borrowed this v.cry paper you are now read¬ ing is often greatly inconvenienced by you? He subscribes and pays for the paper for his own itidividu- a l use and benefit; it is not done for your pleasure, education or comfort. He may not tell you so to your face, because the class ol men who subscribe and pay lor a newspaper arc good, kind hearted fellows; but they do a good deal 01 thinking all the same when you ask for their newspaper. Stop borrowing, and you will stop mak¬ ing a nuisance of yourself.
