THE J RISI"G BOY WATCHING STRUGGLES OF GENIUS. THE America the Place for Poor Boys Rumina tion Brought; on3'by;Seelng;. a Parcel of Convicts Pass By. Dr. Ntinnally was telling about a poor boy whd was working his way through college. He worked for hire on a farm for $10 a montn and his board, and saved his wages and went, to school ; during vacation he hired out and lived hard and did his own washing. That boy is in'earnest and needs watching. I am going to watch hirn if I live andseewhat be comes of him. They are common. I knew one in college about forty-five years ago. He walked from north Alabama to Athens, Ga., and his clothes were all home made and coarse and didn't fit well. I remem ber that his pants were too short at the bottom and too long at the top, and the waist seam of his brown jeans coat was high up on the back. The boys laughed at him on the sly, but they didn't laugh long, for he soon took the lead and kept it If he hadn't got killed in the war he would have been a leader in his State right now. This is a great and glorious gov ernment. There is none like it upon the face of the earth. The fact that the highest places in the nation are in reach of the humblest citizen that a tailor can become a president and a millboy a senator, and a lad who ploughed a bull for lack of "some thing better" has held more offices and higher offices in Georgia than three of her most gifted citizens is a wonderful thing. England and Germany haye good governments, but over there a poor boy has got to have help to rise. He must be kin to somebody who has power or in fluence. He must have a cousin in Berlin or an uncle in parliament, but the field is open here open to all. Aristocracy is not the passport here. It is merit and diligence. Honor and shame from no condition rise. A. venerable gentleman quoted that to me and said : "I used to be proud of my lineage, and was inclin ed to boast of the good blood that was in my veins ; but one day I was talking to an old kinsman about our ancestors, and he said : 'Well, yes, my son, there was some good people away back there, but the stock sorter run down. Your pap and your grand pap behaved mighty well, but some of the boys didn't Your Uncle Dick stole a bag of taters often a flatboat, and they cotch him at it, and took him down in the canebrake and whipped him. And there was so much talk about Tom markin' every stray sheep and shote in his mark that he took a sudden notion to move to Arkansaw, and I haint -heard of him since. Some of the stock was good, but some was powerful covy- chus.' " Well, of course there is something in luck, for Solomon says : "Time and chance happeneth to all ; but as a general thing merit and diligence are rewarded in this country. Andy Johnson became a president, and John Tyler did, too, but John was reduced after his time was out, and the county commissioners made him an overseer of the public road, which shows the ups and downs of lame and politics. But good conduct and good principles pay in the long run, if they don't in the short I was ruminating about this yesterday as our train passed a lot ei convicts who were working the roacTbetween Atlanta and Decatur. It is a sad and melancholy spectacle to see them in their striped uniforms and hear the clink of their ankle-chains as they came down with their picks into the hard ground or tossed the earth away with their shovels. They looked healthy and strong and contented, but I don't know how they felt They were all negroes, and they don't leel much not much penitence and less mortifi cation, there are 1,737 convicts now in our State that many in our State system under lease. There are some more on the public roads of the counties, and neaTly all are negroes There are only 170 white-Convicts and not a white woman. Nearly sixteen hundred colored are wearing the stripes, and 47 of these are women. What is the matter with the negroes? When will they do better ? Nearly all of these convicts are between sixteen and fortv. and but a very few were ever in slavery They have been to scrrSbl, most of them, and most of them are from the cities and towns. The old time ne groes are not in the chaingang. They had no -schooling, but they had moral training. .What is to become ofthe negro r He has less excuse for crime tnan a wmte man. riis wants are few ; it takes less to do him : he is not cramped by society nor social temptations ; a day s honest work will "support him for two days ; he pays tno tax ; his schooling is free, and ye tne devil seems to be m him. There are 30 per cent, more whites than negroes in this State, and yet the negroes commit nine times more crime. The problem is not solved. I have before me a very able paper on the race problem by a humane and gifted citizen of Louisiana. It was written some years ago, and he then thought that education would solve it. He is mistaken. Crime among the negroes increases with their education. It does that at the north among whites. Their crimi nals are nearly as numerous, accord ing to population, as among negroes of the South. Bishop Turner is a very smart colored man, and is a I good man and we see that he wants ; ' . , , the negroes to eo to Africa. I be lieve that our people are willing and ready for the exodus. We- are get ting tired of the experiment. Twenty-five years has made no satisfactory progress. The South has done her duty. Where you find one good, honest, industrious negro, you will find ten'shifUess, immoral ones. We are tired. I saw a crowd of them in Atlanta the other day who were gathered around a black man with a plug hat, and I heard him say, "We must all get away from this country a colored man has no chance here at all. The white man has got him down and his heels on him, and we is bound to go." He is as much an anarchist as Herr Most. Every one of those darkies can get$i a day and live on 25 cents. There are a million of white people across the water who would thank God for so good a chance to make a living. If this restless, trifling, inso lent, crime-loving class would go somewhere it would be a great re lief. The fact is they should be made to go. Abolish the chaingang and ship them to Africa. I wonder if it can't be done. England used to send her bad men to Botany Bay. We are tired of having to use the lynch law for their outrages. Lynch law does not reform or intimidate. There have been more of these horrible out rages within the past year than any year since the war. And yet there are many good negroes, negroes whom we respect and love to befriend. There is the troubte with Bishop Turner's plan. He wants the good ones to go and set up a government We want them to stay and the bad ones to go, and that would take a arcre majority. At all events they should be thinned out, and we will give the bishop choice and help him to thin them. It is the common sen timent by our people that the whites and the blacks cannot five together in peace much longer. The genera tion that is now coming on right out of the schools is worse than the last. Every town is full of young negroes who are vagabonds, and they keep the police continually on the watch. he jail and the calaboose are never without boarders. Over five hun dred colored convicts have been sent to the chaingang during the last twelve months. When will this thing stop? Their own race, with few excep tions, don t seem to be much con cerned about it I over-heard one telling his experience as a convict, and he had a good time. He said : Now, children, you know I was a trusty, I was. I didn't wear no spurs nor chains. I had charge of de dogs, and when a nieerer got away my boss would holler for me, and I jump for de mules and put de saddles on quick and ontie de dogs, and away we go. We had two dogs a big, one-eared noun dog, and a small dog, sorter half fice, and a short tail. Dey was both powerful good track dogs. One mornin' about daybreak de 'larm was given, two niggers got away. De boss call me and I got de mules and de dogs quick, and he bounce oh one mule and 1 bounce on de otner ana we let ae aogs smell of de niggers bunk whar dey sleep and den put 'em on de track and away we eo. De niggers and de dogs run and we keep up behind Le niggers run and de dogs run. Blime by de track got hotter and hotter and de niggers run and de dogs run. De ole houn' opens his mouth wide and say come on, come on, and after we had run 'em about four miles de ole dog change his tune and we knowd dem meeers was treed. Shore enuf, when we got dar, do two niggers was up in a post oak setten on a limb. De ole houn was settin' off a piece a-lookin' up in de tree and he say t-0-0-0-0 of em, t-o 0-0-0 of 'em. De little dog was set- tin' on his short tail and he say, dat's a fak, dat's a fak, dat's a fak. Wei we make dem darkies, get down from dar and take 'em back and de boss give 'em a right smart whippen and put 'em to work agin. Dey was mean niggers and dare amt no other sort dare hardly. I neber sociate wid dem convicts. I was a trusty I was." Bill Arp SKINNER, TO BE TH IS WINNER. Republican Predicts That He Will Nominated for Governor. Be Mr. Claudius tsernard, who was the Republican nominee for Congress has been talking politics to a Wash ington Post reporter. Among other things he is quoted as saying : "1 have no doubt that the Alliance will capture the Democratic State Convention next year and nominate Col. Harry Skinner, of Greenville, for Governor, Col. Skinner is but thirty-five years old, but he has gained State fame through his campaign with Polk and the other Alliance leaders. He is a brother of ex-Con gressman, 1 homas O. Skinner, and the law partner of ex-Congressman Lewis C. Latham, both of whom op pose the Alliance ideas. Though not a member ofthe Alliance, being precluded by his profession, he is in full sympathy with the movement and the father of the Sub-Treasury plan. The scheme first saw the light through an article written by Col. Skinner for Frank Leslie's in 1887. "The ulterior object ofthe Alliance is to send Col. Skinner to the U. S. Senate in place of Sen. Ransom in 1894. He has been given to under stand that his election to the Gov ernorship will mean his elevation to the Senate. The Alliance is in abso lute control of the politics of the State, and can, in my opinion, accom plish anything it undertakes." Al LAI ADA r AIR. col. POLK SPEAKS PLAINLY THIS THIRD PARTY. ABOUT HU Words Verbatim Col Weaver's Speech The Demonstration 1b Favor of the Ocala Demands. Newton, N. C, Sept 30th. The Catawba Fair has been a success in every respect The attendance, which comes from several adjoining counties, is large, the exhibits good, and the good resulting from the an nual meeting of the farmers at this place is becoming more and more apparent This has been an Alliance day and the greatest interest has been taken in the speeches. Col. Weav er the first speaker, addressed the audience for over two hours. The attention was marked. He is a happy speaker,, and pleases his hearers. He preached sound Dem ocracy, most of time, and at the close of his address, he said that he wanted to go back to Iowa and tell them how we stood down here on Alliance demands, and asked all who would be willing to stand ty the Ocala demands to raise their hands. Every man, almost, held up his hands, after which, the demonstra tion was greeted with applause. Col. Polk was the next speaker. After expressing his appreciation of seeing the Catawba people, said it would seem that with a fair-minded people, with North Carolinians, and with a people who appreciated manly effort and hard struggle, that it would be unnecessary for him to make these personal allusions : and would-not do so, but he lound a great many men in the editorial fraternity of North Carolina who seemed to be determin ed with premeditated purpose to misrepresent and crush him, not as L. L. Polk, for they would fight any man on this stage who occupied my position. They are not fighting, me as a man, as a citizen, but as the representative head of an organiza tion they fear and despise, and they are too cowardly to come out and talk plain. Col. Polk then spoke at some length about the press reports that had been sent out and published by Democratic papers in reference to the tarring and feathering in Kan sas, bis selling out to Quay, etc., etc., and he repudiated them all. After reviewing the causes of the present condition ot the country, he spoke freely about the third party. He was anxious that the press report accurately, and here is what he said (verbatim) : Now they say I am going mto the third party. The third party, oh 1 that is ticklish ground, ain't it ? (From the crowd : "This is danger ous won t do. ) They charge that I am helping the third party up there in your country (turning to Judge Weaver) ; that I am aiding the Dem ocratic party and trying to ruin the Republican party. When I come down here they say I am going to tear the Democratic party all to pieces and help the Republican party and that I will absolutely put our country back under negro rule. That is what they charge. I say to the Republicans here to-day and to the Democrats here to-day that if the leaders of these two old parties had not betrayed their promises, had not violated then: pledges, had not de ceived us before, there would have been no question about a third party. If there is a third party in this coun try the bosses of the two old political parties are responsible tor it Will there be one ? It is- with the bosses of the old parties to say. One thing I will ay, and that is this : Our people want relief; they need reliei ; they ought to have it ; they must have it, ana 11 it is necessary to get it we shall wipe the two old parties out of existence, with no more hesitation than a wave of the hand. There is where we stand, gentlemen of the press: publish it to the world. If there is a third party in this Southern country it will be due to the domi neenng insolence and proscnptive policy of the so-called bosses of the two old parties in the South. I hope the press understands me. After discussing the principles of the Sub-Treasury plan, he said "You hear a great deal about the third party tearing the Democratic party into pieces. I want to say to you that if the Democratic party of the South is to be controlled in its policy and characterized in its conduct by the conduct of the men who are pre suming and assuming to speak for it may God have mercy on the Demo cratic party. Do these men know what Demo cracy is ? They tell you that they are straight out Jeffersonian Demo crats, old, simon-pure, orthodox Jef- fersonians, Do they know that the platform upon which the Alliance stands to-day is the quintescence o Jeffersonian Democracy and Abra ham Lincoln Republicanism mixed? What does J . C. Calhoun say about the matter ? Listen to what Calhoun said about this question when they were discussing the national bank law : "Why should the people be charged with interest on the credit of the government when that credit can be extended to them without inter est" We intend to repeat that question, and repeat and repeat and keep it ringing in the ears of the American people until we get the an swer to it I advise some of them to read what Jeftet son said about it Who started the third party in the South? Where is the first man North or South who has ever heard L L. Polk declare in a speech anywhere (Vet they charge me with such state ments) that he was ever for or against a third party ? I am president of the National Alliance, and we are waiting uniil the meeting ofthe next national Congress and then decide on what we shall then do. I am their Presi dent and will obey their instructions. One thing I will say, I am standing upon the Ocala platform flat-footed, and I intend to stand by it just so long as it is claimed to be the Alli ance platform." Your correspondent talked with several intelligent Alliancemen, who know the sentiment of the people, after the speaking, and all said that what Col. Polk said in reference to the third party was not a whit more than they were going to do. They are terribly in earnest, I can assure you. Cor. in State Chronicle. THIS IS THE RIGHT DOCTRINE. An Official Letter by MaJ. Finger in Regard to Public Schools. Raleigh, N. C, Sept 22. W. T. Swink. Secretary and Mr. Treasurer, Concord, N. C. : Dear Sir I enclose check for $750, Peabody money, to be applied to your city public schools. You will bear in mind that this money cannot be used for any other purpose than the payment of teachers for both races. The intention of the Pea body trustees is to help sudh com munities as will help themselves, and will so conduct the schools as to be most helpful to the general public school system. In some communities in which annual taxes are levied to supple ment the general school fund I have not found such support to the gener al public system as I thought there ought to be m the use of the State 1st of text books. This, I think, is an important matter. 1 he State list books are non-sectional, fair to the South, and as good as any books published. As far as they meet the wants ofthe city schools I think they ought to be used ; in fact that is what the law contemplates. The city boards ought to add such other books as the additional length of school and the additional studies desired indi- cate'to be necessary. I take it, ot course, that your board will add the high school course. There is a disposition on the part of publishing houses to press into the schools of the South books that are entirely unfit for use by South ern people. You may set it down as a fact that it is impossible, in the very nature of the case, for a Northern man to write a United States history that will be fair to the South. Even if he were disposed to write an im partial history the probability is that he would be ignorant of the facts or would lay less stress upon them than is due. As an instance, I refer to Eggleston's history, which has not in it even a reference to the Mecklen burg Declaration of Independence, nor to the pattle of King's Mountain, which Jefferson said was the turning point ot the Revolutionary war, and it has not even a copy of the genera! Declaration ot Independence. This is only a specimen ofthe sins of omis sions that Northern authors are guilty of in reference to the South. You will find the same thine runnine through their geographies, readers and all other common school books. The houses that publish these books not unirequentiy secure tneir intro . r .1 ...... duction by unfair argument and other unfair means, as well as by pleading specially their fine mechanical execu tion," etc. Some years ago, when I first came into the office ot Superintendent of Pub he Instruction, I negotiated for the re vision of Holmes readers, and one .1 T 11 request mat 1 specially made was that the books should be thoroughly non-sectional and should contain in the selection of the matter as much recognition of the South as to its products, character, resources, etc., as of the North. Upon examination think you will find this request was complied with, and, besides, that the books are thoroughly well graded and adapted to our schools. The proof-sheets passed under my own eye. As to Maury's geographies, they certainly have no equal in this coun try. Holmes' history contains more facts of United States history than can be found in any . book in the same compass and at the same price, and it tells the truth in a fair and im partial manner, and is well written For higher classes I think Stephens' history cannot be excelled. Sanford's arithmetics are the products of Southern man, and are most excel lent booKS ; indeed it may be said that all books on the State list are excellent. Upon examination I think you will find that the prices at which the State list books are sold to the children are low, and that the busi ness arrangements by which the books can be obtained from one de pository by merchants all over the State and at reasonable discounts to them, are all that can be desired. I send you a marked copy of the school law for information on these points. I would not write so much at length on this subject but for the fact that when the city schools and country schools use the same books there -is harmony, much less confusion, and the public schools interests are there by better advanced. I do not know who your superintendent will be ; if I did I would write him in the same strain. This is an official letter to you as secretary of the board. Do me the kindness to lay it before them and your superintendent when he is elected. Trusting that your schools will meet with abundant success, I am, very truly, S. M. Finger, Superintendent Public Instruction. Constant occupation prevents temptation. THE ALMIGHTY DOL LAR. THAT IS WHAT TOM DIXON TALKED ABOUT IN RALEIGH . Men Have a Right to do as they Please with their Money, Provided they Please to do Right, is the Correct Doctrine to Live by Dixon may be all his Enemies say he is, Bat he is also a Genius and an Oror of Transcendent Powers. (written for last week.) Dr. J. J. Lafterty says, writing about orators: "Orators as editors are failures. James Fox defined oratory as high common place. Fustain in musical voice and with graceful action tickles the crowd. In cold type it is tasteless as the beer of yesterday's broaching, tuneless as a last years bird nest ; the orator is the gold beater. The wri ter is the coiner. Conducting a journal with a Demosthenes as its chief scribe is like fallowing land with a balloon in the traces. The moldboard splits furrows in the air, and the plow handles drag along on the ground. I he eloquence of the tongue is of necessity exaggeration. A battle fought with a kaleidoscope for a field glass will end in a route. Excessive rhetoric dilates, like bel- adonna, the iris of the mind. Pres ently it produces delirium tremens of fiyperbole. If the victim but taste an adjective, he will swallow the dictionary. An editor always super lative would upset with surplusage of sail the safest ship on the sea. . Aaron was the orator, and his climax, a calf, clad in a glitter of gold." Tom Dixon is an exception to Dr. Lafferty's rule, for what he says reads well, as we will presently show. Monday night of last week Mr. Dixon lectured here. He delighted his audience the largest ever ac corded to a lecturer here. We could not mar the beauty and strength of his admirable lecture by a synopsis. We would not be so unjust. Our people never enjoyed a lecture more. The following Wednesday night he lectured in Raleigh. The State Chronicle says of it and him : Tom Dixon is always warmly welcomed in Raleigh. He is a favorite with our' people and they rejoice in the fame that he has won in the great metropolis of the new world. He has ability, and is a genious without doubt They call him a sensational preach er in Gotham, and so he is. But he preaches a pure gospel, and in New York city his voice is as a fresh and winning inspiration in the midst of a great and worldy population. He is growing there, and is winning fame. He could not do this without brains and ability of a high order. Metropolitan Hall contained a large audience last night from Raleigh and other sections when Torn, Dixon, es corted by Dr. Hall, entered the hall. Dr. Hall introduced the speaker gracefully and declared that the peo ple of North Carolina are proud of her sons. Mr. Dixon began with expressions of his regard for the people of North Carolina this State is home to me. He plunged right into his speech. Money concernes us all. It costs money to be born, and under the McDinley bill, it costs money to die. I do not despise money I spend all I get much or little. The Ameri can emblem is a one dollar bilL We are a nation of money -getters. This is the richest nation. We had money enough ten years ago to buy half of this hemisphere. . Money does not only mean materialism,. There is a spiritualism about money. In matters wrought upon-by skill it is the crystalization of a spiritual idea. The man who made a great engine the steamship are messengers of which we may say "I was sick and ye visited me." The truth about wealth is money is both the mightiest and the weakest thing. Both together make the truth being two antithetic propositions tak en together. I know a fool in New York who can hire a house full of brains to run a paper and he does it. The king of this earth is money. The seat of government is in Wall street Last year money ran to 125 per cent, though the largest crop for twenty-five years had been made This continent trembled because of Baring Bros.1 failure. Ifthebankof England had not come to the rescue disaster would have been permanent Money controls dynasties. Why did the South fail f For lack of money The South needsmoney now if it is to be prosperous. The other side ofthe proposition is that money is the weakest thing in the world. Money can t make a man a gentleman. It can't buy home. It can buy a house. The point was illustrated by the story of the Irshman who saw a sign, "rami lies supplied here, and walKing in, said, "I will take a wife and two chil dren." Some men sell out wives and children to get a home, and then' lose it. Money can t buy happiness. I have talked with and been in the house of the richest man in the world. He is 40 years old, his income is $28,000 a day. He is in the hands of a dozen doctors. In the awful panic, he held the market but the reaction told on his constitution. Money cannot give fife. The other day, W. L. Scott worth his millions, died at Newport His money could not gain him a day of life. It takes more than mere money to constitute wealth. It has no instrin sic value. Let's go to see Mr. Rock afeller. He is worth $150,000,000, and with him buy a yatcht, and load up with all his money. A storm comes, dashes all to pieces. Mr. Rockafeller, we will say, is saved and gets his $150,000,000 and -piles it up in the desert island. His money is not worth a cent there.. But he is worth his millions. All the value of money comes from human relations. It is a blessing when it blesses and helps the race. It is a curse when it does not lift up. Some people won't work. 11 we should divide all the money, some folks would lose it next day. , That kind of poverty cannot be remedied ; but grim, terrible, horrible want is sometimes seen which is not born of laziness. Want is the father of blas phemy. It is the progenitor of des pair. Men of transcendent power have their manhood turned back to soil and die. This was beautifully illustrated. You ask wh men don't stand by principle because want prevents it When men have no bread few men can stand up to their convictions. I am not sure that if a man is about to starve he is not justified of steal ing. Want brings disease, intemper ance, crime. In the great cities men, and women sell everything for bread. It brutalizes the human. His lec ture here was enriched by apt and telling illustrations, wich he gave with all his dramatic power and eloquent pathos. There were few dry eyes when he pictured the suffering death of the poor of New York who had not the money to have medical treat ment. He read a sad letter of a wo man who starved from the want of bread, and said this was one of many. One was enough to damn the human race. (There was much applause here.) Yes ; we are ?pt applaude that but what is the practical remedy? Human selfishness comforts us when we attempt to solve these problems. As you pile up wealth, you ac cent the dangerous qualities centered in man. Personal bias makes men before they get it that they would do good if they were rich. Men fight and cheat to get it. (Jn eetting it they are robbed of the principles of Christianity. Men sing songs on Sunday and go down on Wall street arid skin lambs on Monday. Men resolve we will love ourselves as men love themselves, and we will make it hot for those who get ahead of us in this labor of love. Some men weigh every thing "Does it pay ?" No work of lovely pays. Children don t pay and they are cares and responsibilities. My boy dosen't pay, and yet I wouldn't sell him for all the world ; nothing that is divinest pays in commercial dividends. We cannot put in cold type, the illustrations that went to every heart as he showed how men give up everything that is said to pay, for love, for humanity, for oth ers. Money5s the basis of liquor mak ing and liquor selling. He read the fashions of how to dress dogs, and how women spent money and every thing on them. And yet the sweet violet child dies in the nextrblock, but the dog must be kept finely dressed and cared for. At the big $50,000 ball at Delmonico's, a woman walked the street with a babe at her breast starving and it froze to death. In the name of God such expenditure and debauchery, with such poverty at hand, is a wrong; and if it goes on, there will come recokomng one of these days, and it will come here. You say, I am an anarchist. I think not, but I say that wealthy men must relieve suffering. Man has a right to do with his wealth only what he ought to do. It is a solemn trust He drew a picture ofthe Stock Ex change the roaring hell. -The sounds ye hear in the gallery sound like they are from the bottomless pit. The meanest fight is the scramble for gold. Steven V. White came within 500,000 bushels of cornering the corn market. He went down though he had helped thousands. The so-called friends left him. The friendship of money is as heartless as hell You want to kill a man who. would wreck a train. In Wall street men wreck others fortunes, and get rich, and braff about it. and we sav nothing Material war spares the weak and, 1 1 1 T", . .V neipiess. nut in ine war 01 money men rush in and trample all trample feeble women and children under toot. They have no mercy. They fight to cut out the hearts of children see them starved for money. A Christian man cannot engage in the fights and wickedness of heartless money-making. The work of every man is to sing his song to do his duty. If so, even if there is discord, the clear cut note will be heard above the pandemoinium It was a magnificent lecture by tar the best that Mr. Dixon has yet delivered. It is of a high order, and shows that he is growing as a thinker and scholar, and is becoming more effective as a popular lecturer. His lecture was forcible and showed that Mr. Dixon has become a good student of political economy and that his zeal is in the direction of making men bet ter. The humor, pathos, and "des criptive presence displayed in his lecture charmed and dleased his large audience. The Spring Medicine. The popularity which Hood's Sarsaparilla has gained as a spring medicine is wonderful.
