Wo respectfully call tbe attention of 01*1
Fanner to an article in the National Econ¬
omist of February 7th, under heading, “Is
Political Action Without Party Line
Best?” front the pen of one Mr, Macey,
of Old Farmer’s own State.
Mr. Macey argues that tlio quickest and
surest plan of bringing about the great
reforms now proposed by the Alliance, is
to elect men to Congress through the
party that predominates, who will work
for these reforms. Would it not he in
violation of the very lirst declaration of
intentions of the Farmers’ Alliance to
form a new or third party, which says we
are to labor for the education of the agri¬
cultural classes in the science of econom¬
ical government, in a strictly non-partisan
spirit? It seems to us that to form anew
party, requiring all Allianeeroen to join it,
would l>e partisan in the extreme. Let
the people say what kind of laws they
want and elect men to office who will pass
Such laws, as they did in Kansas, irre¬
spective of the old party that had drug
them into ruin, ora third party either.

A Letbr From Albertvllle, Alabama.
*
I)t'\i: Bfto. Nix:—Being requested of
my many friends to write to them. I will
hy your permission, write to them all at
on'ec through the Messenger.
We landed, at our present home on the
first day of Jan. Wo shipped our bed
ding and wearing cloths hy freight, and it
was two weeks before we got them home.
During this time we kept house on the
floor, so to speak. Oui neighbors loned
usa few bed cloths, and I bought some
bods teds, a stove and some dishes, but we
eat for two weeks without knives and
forks, waiting for ours to come through.
We made out very well except at sleeping
time, ahd we would, have done very well
then had it not been for the extreme
nearness of the bed slats. They made
impressions that will long he remember¬
ed. If you doubt it when yon see Emmet
Mathews just get him to raise bis sldrt
and show you the impressions across his
sides and yon will bo convinced.
Finally our things came :every thing safe
and sound, just as they were packed when
wc left home, and we are now doing ver
ry well housekeeping, except for lack of
room. The house we live in is very small,
which I have rented until I can build one
on my own laud.
I will try to answer some questions that
i know would bo asked.
First: Are we satisfied? This question
might be answered affirmatively, or neg¬
atively. Of course being among stran¬
gers and away from old friends, one will
feel lonesome, which might be called dis¬
satisfaction. In fact. Georgia will always
seem like home, and to every Georgian it
seems to be the best state in the union.
But so far us other things are concerned
we are well pleased so far.
How is watei ? Water is plentiful here
now Down every little hollow flows a
rippling stream and in every depression
there is a beautiful lake. In this connec¬
tion might mention the frogs. Surely if
old Pharoah had been on Sand mountain
and these frogs had got in his bed. bread,
trays, etc., lie would have said^p tiro Is¬
realite*, up and be gone. S - let them
wilt weigh r t -<
as good' as the water in Georgia or any
where else. The branches and some of
the creeks dry up in summer but wells
some springs afford plenty of water
the year round.
Wo have bad some little trouble about
drinking water since we have been here.
I will tell you, but you must not tell Em
met Mathews about it for be drank with
us tire greater part of two weeks. Onv
oldest boy lias a fashion of smelling c”
everything be comes across. One day he
decided that he would go out and smell
of tlie well, and after giving a snuff or two
he decided that there was something
wrong. He looked down and decided
that iie could see something. I went and
looked but was not fully satisfied. So I
had the looking glass brought and turned
the rays of the sun down upon the
supposed object, and there was no longer
any supposition about it. There it was
sure enough; a half grown cat floating
peacefully on the surface with every leg
outstretched and the few remaining hairs
standing every fellow to himself. It is
unnecessary to toll what else happened.
The next job was to get it out. When
every one but myself got off from home
f got a long pole and tied a basket to it
and reached down and dipped it out, and
carried it at pole's length down behind
the garden and tossed it over the fence,
and then, iorKio!
Well, I will write more soon and tell
s<,,1,e t!iiiig oi more importance about the
country,
