The negroes of that town inaiat that their children ahall at tend the aame school as the whites, and went so far aa to try and carry their point by force. Bat the good republicans of Upper Alton at once whiffed a very large sized skunk and lost no time in expelling the ambi tious yonng coons. They are hear tily in favor of giving the negro his every so- called aocial right in the Sooth, and grow indignant when our people refuse to take the colored man and brother and all of his picka ninnies to their arms; but when the odor d’A fries is wafted under their own nostrils, a revolt is at once started and he is kicked out like a dog. In the Sonth, we believe in sepa rate schools for the races; but in Upper Alton, wear* incliued to back Cuflee in his moat righteous dee mauds. A people who are such out spoken champions of social equality for a distant section of country, should be required to take the physic they want to force down strangers. It seems to us that the Illinois ne gro—who has been undergoing the refining and purifying influences of Northern civilization—is a much more desirable companion for the Alton whites than one of our swamp coons in Georgia, to whom soap is a stranger. Besides, our Alton neigh bors have always been taught to look upon the negro in a much more exalted light than were the Southern whites, who have held him in servi tude for generations. If the delicate sensibilities of our Illinois friends rebel at a contact with the highest order of our black citizens, how can they blame the Sonth for also kick ing against having social equality forced upon them with negroes,many of whom ha*e made but short strides in civilisation since their ancestors were wearing a palm learand eating snakes in Africa. The Upper Alton- ites should be consistent. Let them render unto Cuffee the same treat ment that they demand of the South for him, or else acknowledge the hy pocrisy of their past conduct, and endorse oar people when they take such steps as will keep the negro in his proper place. Farmers Aldan-e to fear that they will take any steps to eodaager the success of the Hemociatic party, or force on worthy officers upon the country. Men who can defeat such a power fat organization as the jute trust, no one need fear to risk with the reins of government. The Farmer’s Alliance has under taken a great and needful work— the breaking do^n of trusts and monopolists. To accomplish this end it is necessary that the organi zation enter politics. You had as well expect a carpenter to build a bouse without tools as for the Alli ance to win the fight without having State and Federal officers in hearty sympathy with them. The Alliance does not propose to boycott or ostra cise a man from holding office sim ply because be does not belong to their organization *, but before they will vote for a candidate he. must have the ring of the true metal. The Alliance is going to have a controlling hand in politics this year; but they will not let either politics or politicians control them. AN UNWRITTEN LAW- There is an .unwritten law in the South, and we never want to see it forgotten. The law is this : When a negro man lays the hand of vio lence upon the person of a respecta ble white womao, his life must pay the penalty, and the first men into whose hands he falls shall become his executioners. We are opposed to lynch law and mob violence, ex cept for this offence—and we have no respect for any community that per mits the black ravisher of a white woman to remain in jail and await the slow process of law. The speedy visitation of punishment for this of fence has done more to deter and prevent each outrages than all our courts and penitentiaries. The ne- grp knows that the person of a white woman is ever sacred from his profane touch, and he must pay for such audacity with his life. But for this knowledge, the Southern States would soon become untenable for white ladies, and the papers would be filled with accounts of horrible outrages. Alliance, bat is rather uttered as a bugaboo to frighten this lormidable organization from taking any hand in politics, thas leaving the naming of officers to the old bosses who have so loDg controlled matters. We differ with these papers. While Alliancemen should see that no old broken-down political hacks ride them into office, at the same time it is not only right and proper, but also theirdutv to see that the farmers of our country—the men who feed the world and keep the wheels of commerce revolving—should exert a large influence in selecting officers to represent them. The Alliance SHOULD TAKE AN ACTIVE AND DECIDED stand in politics, ami see that men are chosen to legislate for the coun- THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS* There is a somewhat farions dis cussion going on between the repre sentatives of the Farmers’ Alliance of Alabama and the Montgomery Advertiser. The gist of the whole matter, so far as we can perceive, appears to be the fear on the part of the Adverti ser that the political aspirations of prominent alliance men threaten to breed discord and division in the democratic party. We have too much confidence in the patriotism of the Farmers’ Alli ance to fear that they will encourage, or even tolerate, any movement tend ing to threaten the success of the democratic party. Not only the Montgomery Adver- tiaer,, but numerous papers in other States, seem greatly exercised lest the Alliance will get into politics and thus endanger or wieck the or ganization. This gratuitous advice, it impresses us, is not given through ., any desire to benefit and save the ont “ e,r face confer on Speaker Reed THE NEW RULES. The leading matter that will come before Congress this week, says the Richmond Times, and it is one of the most important that will be brought' forward this session, is the report of the. Committee cn New Rules, in the preparation of which the Republican .members have bean actively employed for some time. The proposed changes have not been considered in committee by the Dem ocratio members, no invitation with that view having been extended them by the Republican members, the plan of the latter being to spring the'changes which they propose on the rules, upon the Democrats either to-day, or to morrow at a meeting os the committe, aud at the earliest moment thereafter, report them to the House. So far the business of the House has been carried ,on under the regu lation of general parliamentary usage supplemented to a very great extent by the arbitrary rulings of Speaker Reed. The furtive course of the Re publican msmbei8 in preparing the new rules, is not only in keeping with general conduct from the beginning of the present session, but also throws some light upon the charac ter of the new rules themselves, which from all that 19 known or so far, were drawn jup wLoly with view to suppressing a voice and hampering the action of the minori ty. If adopted by the House as they now stand, they will undoubtedly as much power to carfy out the pur poses of his party as even he, bitter and unscrupulous partisan that be is, could wish. It only remains to be seen, under these circumstances if any resource at all is left in ob structive measures. THE MINNEAPOLIS TRIBUNE.
