Senator Vance has written a letter to Elias Carr, president of the Farmers' Alliance of North Carolina, in which he declares that, on constitutional grounds, he cannot support the Sub Treasury bill; though he assures the farmers that he and other friends of theirs are trying to frame a measure that will afford them the relief they desire, and at the same time not be open to Constitutional objections. After stating the history of his connection with the bill, he says that he is confident that the introduction of the bill will lead to the adoption of some measure that will meet the ends annied at in this bill.

His letter which we would be glad to publish in full, concludes. "Permit me to say that there is at this time a great responsibility resting upon you. There is an uprising of the agricultural class ol our people, the most powerful class of our society, which amounts to little short of a revolution. This revolution is directed toward a redress of the evils arising from unjust legislation. You are the chosen head and representative of that class in the State of North Carolina, one of its most honored and respected citizens.

I feel, sir, that with the freedom of a friend and fellow worker of the same political faith, I may say to you that you may do much to prevent this popular cry for redress from becoming a clamor for revenge. Guided within the proper channels and by wise counsel, I believe it is the movement for which all patriotic men in our country have waited and wished so long, and that it will result in juster legislation and more equally diffused prosperity. But if recklessly, unwisely or selfishly directed, it may result in incalculable injury to our country and especially our Southern portion of it. I notice with pain that much of the ill feeling of the farmers is directed, not against the authors and upholders of this nefarious legislation, but against their nearest ueighbors and friends those whose interests are as intimately connected with their own as is that of members of the same household. I observe that bitter feeling is springing up between town and country between the farmer who brings his product to town and the merchant who buys it and in return sells him his daily supplies that often the farmer is taught to believe that the lawyer, the doctor or the professional man is hostile to him or is in some way responsible for the ills which he suffers.

I need not say to yon that this is all wrong, unwise and hurtful to a degree to all concerned. It saps the strength of our people and weakens their power to procure redress. We need everybody's help, because our oppressors are a great party entrenched in the strong holds of the government. Naturally thexe-.

Ice Cold ennn watcd uuun mniui) LIMEADE AND MILK SHAKES AT sum i dangerous and unseemly contests in our State. I trust much to you, my dear sir, and to the conserva tism, good sense, moderation and patriotism of the farmers of North Carolina, to avoid the taking of any position or the doing of anything that would prevent the Democrats who are in the Alliance and the Democrats who are not in the Alliance from working together for principles which are common and for interests which are general, with that harmony which so triumphantly brought us out the house of bondage in the period from 1870 to 1S76, and which has in so great a measure restored our State to a reasonable degree of prosperity and credit. Let us not imitate the conduct of the Jews when their sacred city was be-seiged by the Roman armies, who fought their enemies with incredible valor all day and fought each other with incredible fury all night: Let ns on the contrary, stand together and fight our common euemies day and night.

Let us strivo for a reduction of taxation on the necessaries of life for a reductiouof the expenditures of the government for an increase of the currency and the price of farm products by the free coinage of silver and the restoration of its full legal tender character for a repeal of the tax upon State banks for the regulation of transportation rates by railroad commissions, and last but not least, let us earnestly contend against that spirit of centralization which is constantly threatening to absorb the local self government of the people of the States. Very truly yonrs, Z. B. Vance. In a sermon delivered in New York last Sunday Rev.

Charles F. Deems said that the best way to settle the land question, which men like Henry George were getting into a hopeless muddle, was to adopt the land system described in Leviticus. This system, Dr. Deems said, had been devised by Moses under divine inspiration, and was the best the world had ever seen, its basis being the jubilee idea by which the land reverted every fiftieth year to the original owners, so that people could only buy leaseholds and the poor fellow who was sold out of house and home by his creditors had always the assurance to buoy him up that sooner or later Lis homestead would revert to him or to his children.

On the Iiodire Federal Election Bill A Patriotic Speech by the Member from the North District.

In the House ofRepreseutatives ast Saturday, pending consideia tion of the Lodge Federal Election Bill, Mr. Ewart, representative of the Ninth district of North Carolina vigorously opposed the passage of the bill. He said he was aware of the penalty he should have to pay for his opposition. Unfortunately politics had come to such a pass that under the rule of King Caucus men would vote for measures that deep down in their hearts they did not believe in. They knew that this was a damna ble and vicious piece of legislation as ever was put on the statute books.

As to the negro's political rights speaking lor his own State he unhesitatingly asserted that no Republican in the State black or white was prevented from casting his vote. Elections there were, absolutely fair. There were men in the South who hated the negro and abused him sometimes they were punished, and sometimes not. But the entire people of the South should not be blamed for the acts of a few lawless men. He was sick and tired of the sentimental talk of a negro problem.

There was no such problem. It was a delusion to suppose the negro was voting the Republican ticket solidlj-. He was doing nothing of the kind. Many of them were voting the Democratic ticket, and it was getting more and more difficult every year for the Republican party to control the negro. He made a strong plea for the Blair Educational bill, and attack the Republican party for its failure to carry out its pledge to the Southern Repnbli cans.

He said that the bill was one the negroes took a vital interest in, and he had no hesitation in sayiug that not three-tenths of the negroes of the South would vote for tne Republican party if an election were held to-morrow. He appealed to the Republicans to leave alone if they would not educate it.

Every year the matter is delayed strengthens the barriers in the way of the improvements desired. It will cost more to make the changes needed now than it would have cost last year. It will cost more next year than it will now. The town Commissioners have, we think, gone at the matter in a business way. They have appointed a gentleman of intelligence and judgment to make a careful survey of the town, and upon his report they have decided to widen certain streets.

This necessarily involves the condemnation of the property of certain citizens for the public use, and whose land shall be condemned the Commissioners must decide. That they will proceed in a manner so as to damage private property as little as possible and with due regard to justice in each in dividual case, while seeking cheapestflftdjjest course for town, we have no doubt, in resolution they have adopted the the the we do not think any one can accuse them of partiality, or of want of the proper courage to do what they conceive to be their duty regardless of who might approve or disapprove. The property of the rich and the poor has been alike condemned where they considered necessary, and by the same res resolution they have appropriated to the public use a part of the lawns of Judge Avery and Col. Tate, and of the meagre lots of Abs and Sharpe Moore. In almost every instance in which the Com-misioners have decided to make changes there can be no doubt but that changes should be made if Morganton is ever to attain to the dignity of anything more than a cross roads hamlet, and the wonder is that they have not been made before.

The property owners adjoining these narrow lanes have in their long immunity from interference on the part of the town authorities received a silent though none the less eloquent testimonial of the reverence in which they are held by the community, but now that the authorities have decided that the time for action has come let them act promptly and courageously, dealing justly and fearlessly with all. We would like to see the differences between the Commissioners and the property holders adjusted without ill feeling litigation, if it can be done without sacrificing the public interests, but if this cannot be done let the work proceed. The prop- erty of no citizen, however power ful, is too sacred to be appropri ated to the use of the public, nor should sympathy for the poor be allowed to block the public high ways. Between the conflicting interests involved the Commissioners must decide, and the citizens should sustain them in the discharge of a duty unpleasant enough at best. Col.

Tate and Mr. I. I. Davis deserve the thanks of the entire communitv for their very liberal and public spirited action at the Commissioners' meet ing last Monday night. They gave to the town, without asking one cent of damages, enough of their property to widen Union street.

If other property holders will emulate their example it will look much better, than a useless display of temper and exhibition of that selfish spirit sometimes manifested of being enthusiastic on the question 01 town improvements onlv when others have to the burden.

the Post Office Department. He asked why the party had not kept its pledge to remove the tobacco tax. These were practical things, which would benefit Southern Republicans. With a Federal Election bill they might be in the position of the Italian on whose tombstoue was this epitaph: "I was well and wanted to feel better. I took physic and here I am." Laughter.

He read from a num ber of letters from prominent North Carolina Repnblicans, to show that his course was endorsed there. He declared, in conclusion, that he would not vote for a bill that would humiliate and disgrace his people, and be the cause of innumerable woes to them. If that were treason to the party to which he had always been loyal, they conld make the most of it. Mr. Ewart's speech attracted a great deal of attention.

Members crowded around him to listen and applaud him. A SOLEMN PROTEST. Democratic Member Enter their Protest Against the Infamous Election Bill.

To the Editor of The Herald: The Paris "season" is over for most of the fashionable inhabitants of that gay city, and now that summer has really begun, everyone leaves town for the seaside to restore exhausted nature after the continued sound of gaie ties of the past few months. English people are saidto "take their pleasure sadly," but that can hard ly be said of the gay Parisian. One of the lions of Paris is the Irrand Opera House a superb building led up to by a long flight of broad low steps, standing in the centre of a large "Place." The pieces generally begin about 8 o'clock, and some time before that, the house is brilliantly illu iiiiudicu. Kjn nne evenings, or when a favorite opera is perform ed the attendance is very large, and it is a oeautitul sight to see 1 crowas 01 ncniy dressed women, glittering with diamonds wending their way up the magnificent staircase and under the marble porticos leading to boxes, the necessary foil to all this bright ness, is tound in the sober-colour ed clothes of the gentlemen, and the dark dresses of the attendants.

The great Dem ocratic party of America, now in a large unmerical majority, but deprived of the control of the government by the most unscrupulous methods, openly and almost with unanimity, favors the repeal of all the legislation of which you complain. A little strengthening of its hands, and but a little, will enable it to triumph. Its triumph will be yours. A little sapping of its strength, a little division in its ranks, will be its defeat again.

Its deteat will likewise be yours. The danger is that oppressed freemen become impatient and impatient men are often unwise. Your great organization is but little more than two years old it is not yet grown. It cannot look for great harvest of result be fore the sowing and the maturing of the crop. Already wonderful things have been achieved.

Venerable legislators, life-long ser vants of corporations and Wall street policy have already come to know that there is a large class ot the American people called farmers and who have rights and privileges like others. No greater snocu tor years past has been given to the sleek and comforta ble recipients of class legislation than the recent passage through the Senate of the bill to restore the unlimited coinage and legal tender character of silver. This was undoubtedly due to the Farm ers7 Alliance. For the past six months there has been more dis cussion upon the condition of the farmers and matters pertaining to their interests than had taken place within ten years previous. The more of this talk the better for the farmers.

Their wronars are so palpable that the justice of redressing them will become more and more irresistible as the light is turned on. The policy of the farmers, being now right, is to keep within the right. Demand nothing that is illegal, ask noth ing that is unreasonable. Espe cially, it seems to me, they should be carefnl not to injure their friends. They should hold their forces in hand ready to aid those who favor them and to strike those only who are Hostile to tueir purposes and principles.

To attempt to make a political party of the Farmers: Alliance for the purpose of sup planting eiruer 01 tne great par ir 1 i 1 1 nes wuo aiviae tne American peo ple would be a great mistake, lu the South it could only destroy the Democratic party and leave in undisputed control that other party which is the author and up- noiuer 01 tne evils by which we are afflicted.
