The Wilson Advance. Entered in the Post Office at Wilson, N. C, as second class mail matter. t F. "WILSON, Kditor and Proprietor. 'For the cause that lacks assistance, For the wrone that needs resistance, For the future in the distance, And the gjood that we can do." Thursday, July ioth, 1892, , Senator M. W. Ransom will come hnmo nnrl mnkr the camoaien of his life this fall. Democracy pure, true- blue, and unterrified will' triumph; Its nrincinles are - founded on, truth and justice and deserve to win. Mr. Cleveland rightly objects to Frances Cleveland Influence Clubs, and he is does well, No one has a right to drag the name of his fair wife into a political campaign, as some foolish women of New York proposed doing. Some one has said the following is the Third Party platform. Resolved, 1. That the country will p-o to the demnition bowwows if something isn't done. 2. That something be clone. That we are the only fellows who can do it. We are very glad to lay before the the readers of The Advance this ' morning the able,. elegant, thoughtful oration delivered here July, 4th by our young townsman, Mr. Geo. W Connor. Mis conception of the sub ject is correct, his treatment adn able, and his conclusions well drawn We commend his patriotic words to the perusal of every reader. Congressman Grady writes Col W. E. Hill, of Faison's, a letter, which is published. He does not seem to lavor the Lrovernment own ership of railroads and, we want Dr Ramsey to notice, thinks the Force Din a real issue m trie coming cam paign. But Dr. Ramsey and Dr. Kingsbury do not want to think so, because then they would have to "follow old Dana's lead, so sweetly and blindly." The Shelby Aurora, Winston Daily Sentinel and Kinston. Free Press favored Governor Jarvis for the Chairmanship. Wilmington Mes senger. As a matter of history the Mes senger also favored Jarvis, while The Advance was the State to advocate usually delightful first paper -in the his cause. In his bull-dozing man- ner of suppressing distasteful truths, Dr. Xingsbury overlooked this fact of history. But his eyesight is not as good as it once was. Two men were lynched in the court bouse yard at Vicksburg early Thursday morning. Another was lynched at Jasper, Ala., on Thursday ; another in Clay county, in the same State on the same day, and still an other in Louisa county, "Va. Three of the five were charged with crimes which the law is never quick enough to punish. Two were pkin murder cases. All the victims were colored men five, so far, in one week. It is a record of which no country can well leel proud, but just so long as such crimes are committed will such pun ishment be given. We cannot afford to sit still and look on with stolid in difference to a condition which per mits and sanctions such. Something must be done to check the tenden cies to crime. But what ? AVE HOI'E SO. The "Wilson Advance under took to tell what this editor would do in this District about the candidate for Congress, and what Mr. J. D, Bellamy had done. It had no au thority to speak for either. Mr, Bellamy did not write "the article assigned to his authorship, and the editor will support the Democratic nominee, ahd - do conscientiously daily what he believes to be right. We hope The Advance will see its way to act in the same spirit. Wil mington Messenger. The Advance does not desire or pretend to speak authoritatively in referring to Dr. Kingsbury, nor does it doubt that he will "do daily wh.at he conscientiously believes to be right. " " W hat" h e believes aston ishes some people. It is evident he holds' with Emerson that "a wise man changes his never." Because mind ; a fool, of this we would not dare speak for "him, even by "authority." Everybody except Dr. Kingsbury knows that The Ad vance generally says and does ex actly as it pleases. Walter Bridgers, Athens, Tc writes: "For six years I had been af flicted with running sores, and an en largement of the bone in my leg. I tried everything I heard without any permanent benefit until Botanic Blood Balm was recommended to me. After using six bottles the sores healed, and I am now in better health than I have ever been.

(SPECIAL COR. THE ADVANCE.) Washington, July ioth, '92. One week hence, the date of the adjournment of Congress can be given witn approximate aeeui.iey. Phe appropriation bills are in sucn shape that they can be disposed of in a few days. I he silver bill which is to be considered next Wednesday will decide the length of the term of this Congress arid perhaps a good many other things. It is the con census of opinion here, that the sil ver bill not pass. I he bpeaker says Congress will not adjourn by August the first. I am lnlormcd however, that the Republicans would like to prolong the session soas to prevent the Democrats Irom going nome to take part in the campaign.

Mr. .leveiana receiveu a popu lar majority belore, and the proba bilities are that he is stronger than he ever was in the affections of the people. His "running mate, ' Mr. Stevenson, is also very popular with Democrats all over the country. The Republicans will probably not try to keep the Democrats here in order to keep them out 01 the canvass, 11 they display their usual shrewdness. The Democratic National Com mittee meets here the ioth. The most important work before the body will be the election of a chairman on whose executive ability it is thought a great deal of the success of the campaign depends. I hear that Mr. Cleveland has expressed himsell as desirous that Mr. Whitney should take the position, and that pressure is being brought to bear on that gentleman by other leading Demo crats who were impressed with Mr. Whitney's management at Chicago to induce him to accept the chair manship. Yesterday an omnibus patent bill was favorably reported from the House Committee on patents which will be of interest to many of your readers. The bill proposes to pro tect the innocent users of patents. The immediate object of the bill is to exempt Irom liability, to suits insti tuted by patentees, the purchasers of patented article bought in open mar ket for their own use and not for sale on the ground that such articles were manufacttired in infringement of patent right. In a report submitted with, the bill, the committee expresses the opinion that great abuses have grown up in the matter of prosecu tion of such-innocent purchasers by persons having patent rights cover ing .articles so purchased, and espec ially in the matter of agricultural im plements it has grown to be oppres sive. The committee believes that all suits for inlringement of patents should be prosecuted exclusively against the manufacturer who makes the article in violation of law and the merchant who offers it for sale, and further, that the manufacturer should take it upon himself all responsibility for his act in the use of any patent or the disregard of patent rights. In justice to those who need and buy for their own use patented articles, the committee believes the liability should fall upon the individual or company committing the offence. Senator Ransom reiterates his abiding faith in the wisdom and loyalty of the people of North Caro lina. He says he feels confident the State will give give her usual Dem ocratic majority in the coming cam paign. It will be Harrison and the Force biil on one side and Cleveland and justice dn the other. The Third Party will cut a poor figure in the Southern States at least. Colonel O'Ferrall, of Virginia, has this to say ol Greenback Weaver, the Third Party candidate: "Weaver can do less harm than almost any candidate the Third Party could have put in the field. He is known to be a wild and erratic man everything by turns and nothing long first a South hating, South-damning Republican, then a Greenbacker, then a Knight of Labor, then a Democrat then an Allianceman, and now a Third Party. He has exhausted the vocabulary in his denunciation of the Southern peo ple and declared that those 'who were not shot or hung are aeain conspiring to get posession of the Government.' He has denounced them as a hungry, rebellious, man hating, women-selling gang, and. as late as July ioth, 1888, declared on the floor of the House of Represen tatives that he had nothing to take back. I look forward to a grand national victory for Cleveland and Stevenson. The people have faith in Cleveland. They know, as some one expressed it recently, that he is right in almost everything and honest in all things. The causes which brought the great victory of 1890 still exist, and they will be felt even more in the result of the coming election. The . people want lower taxes, reliel from financial depression, from strikes and labor troubles, irom reckless appropriations, and from the menace of bayonet rule, and, they intend to have it." Colonel O'FWall is Chairman of the -House Elections Committee and the sentiment expressed in the above interview proves what sort of a Dem ocrat he is. There is nothing uncer tain in his utterances. Yesterday in the House Hon. John S. Henderson submitted the confer ence report of the Post Office Appro priation bill which was agreed to. North Carolina, especially his own District, ought not to lose sight of the debt of gratitude due Mr. Hen derson for preserving the fast mail route. John Wanamaker declined to recommend the $196,000 needed, but Mr. Henderson succeeded in get ting it through in spite of him. The following named among other cadets have been appointed to West Point Military Academy for the year 1893: A. H. Oliver.tMt. Olive, N. C. ; E. G. Landis, Oxford, N. C. ; H. B. Ferguson, Waynesville, N. C. Mr. Grady's son won the first appointment by competitive examination, but his father thought it savored too much of nepotism to give it to him. Messrs. Keogh and Boyd, of Greensboro are in the city. Mr. Herbert Rountree and bride of Wilson spent the day here on their North bound trip. Mr. A. Burbank, of San Francisco, left here about ten days ago with the intention of purchasing the Winston Daily Sentinel if he could. He had come to the conclusion that Winston Salem has a fine future before it, and wanted to invest his money there. I understand that if Winston-Salem Bad agreed to consolidate post offices, it would have been the only first- r!ss nost office in the State, that of Wilmington coming second to it in business and importance. Whether this had anything to do with Mr. Burbank's choice of a location in the State I do not know, but it speaks well for the progress of the Twin Citv. Conorrss will investieate the Homestead riot. Here will be a fine ooDOrtunitv for the Democratic ma jority to expose results of high tariff laws. Mr. Carnegie was one ot tne first to congratulate his hnend, Mr Harrison, on his nomination.

Mr. Editor : In The Progressive Farmer ol June 2ist, appears an edi torial in which occurs the following extract : , " "And now the Force bill is the cry of the politicians. The Republican poli ticians say the country can be savea if it is passed- The Democrats say it will lie ruined ifil is passed. Neither of them have any idea of passing the bilt. They jnst want to keep a solid North and a solid South, and obscure all the real issues by this hue and cry. Mr. losenhus Daniels started the ball a few days ago in this State. He de clares that whenever it was mentioned at Minneapolis the convention went wild. We do not doubt his statement at all, but we do know that the only object in view is to keep the North ana South at daggers' points and keep one solidly Republican and the other solidly Democratic. 1 he cunning shyiocks and plutocrats of the country know that their business will be ruined sooner or later unless they can keep the two sections estranged and mamtsin the present political differences through sectional hate and race bitterness." Returning from -a meeting of the National Editorial Convention at San Francisco, to which I was a delegate, I stopped two days at Minneapolis to take a look at the delegates to the National Republican Convention and fo get an idea if 1 could of the anima ting spirit of that body. I knew that among its members were some ol the ablest men in the country, and that they represented much, pf the intelli gence, wealth arjd vigl-, of fflie Re public, and I was desirous 01 seeing for myself the men who make the policy of the party, and hearing for myself the speeches which would sound the key-note of the campaign to be waged by the party of Lincoln, Summer, Garfield, Blaine and the other great men who have shaped its policy and who were instrumental in its organization I hoped to find it a convention of patriotic and progres sive men wjhose eyes are toward the future and whose pride in our coun try would wipe out all sectional boun daries. To say that I was disap pointed in this expectation is to put it mildly. The convention was a sea of bald heads and trray hairs. It was conspicuous for the absence of young men in the seats assigned the dele gates. The delegates looked mourn lully back upon the past, and their utterances, as well as their years, showed that it was not a convention imbued with the inspiring and hope ful spirit of this age. The speeches were hackneyed, selfish and sectional. Denunciation of all men who criticize their creed of favoritism and advoca cy of the force bill, were the themes that appealed to the gray hairs and bald heads. Seeing this spirit, this intense and feverish advocacy of the force bill, I wrote to two or three North Carolina papers a news letter stating the animating spirit of that convention as above outlined. For this expression of an existing fact, which I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, you charge that "Josephus Daniels started the ball a few days ago in this State," and proceed to declare that it was done "to obscure all the real issues by this hue and cry." Mv position upon public questions is well known to most of your readers whose friend ship and confidence I prize more highly than I could prize any parti san success, and I am unwilling that even one of them should believe lor a moment that I have been untrue to the principle and policies which I have supported during the twelve years I have been connected with journalismirr-North Carolina. I have never written a line in my life from a sectional stand point, and sectional politics has had no place in my creed. I have denounced it and its narrow ing tendencies a thousand times, whether it was used to solidify the North or the South. It is not a bet ter or higher thing in North Caro lina than in Kansas, and it is pro vincial, blighting and contemptible wherever employed. I do not care whether a man served in the Federal or Confederate army, and the only test I have ever employed is the old Jeffersonian test : "Is he fit ? Is he honest? Is he capable?" If a candidate served honorably in the Confederate Army, as did Senator Ransom and Col. Polk, I honor him for his bravery. But I do not think honorable service in the war entitles a man to office, and I believe that fitness, honesty and capacity stand above military prowess. II he served honorably in the " Federal Army, as did Hancock and Garfield, I honor him for his bravery, but I have never been one of those who believed that bravery on the field al was fitted a man for success in civil life. Neither have I been of that number who have cried out against men because they were brave sol diers. God forbid ! If a man was a gallant soldier, and is a states man, he is entitled to our respect and suffrage, whether he was in one army or in the other, and there will never be any real unity in this country until the issues of the war are dead, and politicians whose only stock in trade is the war and sectionalism are relegated to the back ground. It has been under the traffic, in war I reminiscences, the bloody shirt wav ing, and sectionalism that the tariff barons, trust-makers, pension robbers and bond holding aggressors have waxed and grown fat at the expense of the people. Until sectionalism is destroyed there is no solid ground upon which to hope for real and sweep ing reforms. Towards its destruction, in the North and South, the highest endeavor of every patriotic citizen ought to be directed. The Progres sive Farmer has never gone further than I will go in this direction, and no party has lived in this Republic, other than the Democratic, whicli has not been tinctured with section-! alism. To be sure there have been and are sectionalists in the Demo cratic party for the great mass of its voters and its real leaders have never given countenance to sectionalism or sectional politics in any shape or form. The Force bill is a sectional meas ure. No honest man denies that. It is aimed at the South, and the un doing of its people. It has been employed as the. last device of the Republican party to keep itself alive the force mix and issue. by "obscuring all the real issues by this his hue ana cry as you wen express it. . Yes, "cunning shyiocks and plu tocrats of the country well know that their business will be ruined sooner or later unless they can keep the two sections estraneed and maintain the present political differences through 1 1 . . 1 I,!..,, ' ' I sectional hate and race bitterness. That is well said, and I endorse every word of vour strong- denunciation of the sectionalists who advocate the Force bill or any other measure "the only object in view is to keep the North and South at dagger points." It is contemptible and unworthy of all good men. Now, who is responsible for the effort to keep alive questions that "can keep the two sections estrang ed." It is not the Farmers' Alliance, for though a youne organization, it has done great things in the way of killing sectionalism and strangling force bills.. I do not forget that at Ocala, in the National Alliance which re-elected Col. Polk, strong resolu tions against the passage of the Force bill were adoped. It is not the Dem ocratic party, for it has consistently opposed every species of sectional ism, and by the help ol the Alliance, and a few Republic m Senators, kill ed the 1 ix biii u. tuc Senate last year. These two great agencies are absolved from all responsibility for sectionalism. Who then is responsi ble? It is the party that has been in power and now seeks to maintain itself in power by inuagurating this rorce bill seectionahsm. It seems that the people repudiate "its finan cial and legislative acts of twenty-five years, and it seeks to obscure the real issues by keeping the two sec tions estranged." The Force bill is nothing if not sectional. But bad as it is, its sec tionalisms, it is more to be denounced because it stikes a blow at individual liberty, and puts the keeping of the ouritv of the ballot in the hands of partisan official and Federal troops It is an effort of the Republicans to perpetuate itself in power by destroy- ing individual liberty, and putting all the election machinery in the hands 01 the party in power. Men may talk of the tyranny of money and the tyranny of wicked corporations (and they are going the face of the poor) but the worst and most oppres sive tyranny ever felt is the tyranny ot government. Once put all the election machinery in the hands of government, and it will re quire a revolution of blood to wrest the control of government from the "ins." This is a greater question than any other, because if the government is the supreme distator, no other question can so much as have a hear ing before the people. Deputy marshals and supervisors who are the tools of the President, will control our elections as completely as when the vote cast in North Carolina in 1868 was carried to Columbia, S. C, to be counted bv a military commission. If that bill ever becomes a law, good bye hope of financial and tariff re form ; good-bye freedom of the peo pie ; good-bye individual manhood ; and good-bye free government of and by and for the people. So many have been the encroachments upon popular rights during the past twen ty -five years that the tenet of govern ment has come to be "The people be d d, - and they have been burdened with taxation until they now cry aloud for relief. What answer do they hear to their cries? "Let us -pass the Force bill," say the Republican orators and the platform of that party. lhey believe it easier thus at one blow to kill all agitation for tariff re form, and all other reforms that strike at the bounties and protection they receive than to keep up buying the elections as they did in 1888. It is more brutal, but it is less expensive. If you stifle the ballot, you make free expression of opinion on any subject impossible. I do not know how others feel about it, but speaking for myself, I would as soon sign a bond to sell my body into slavery as to take any step that by any possibility could give the author of the Force bill control ol the next Congress and the Executive. They would deprive me and every other man who did not favor the pol icy of building up a class of rich men at the expense of the many of all right as citizens of a free republic. Bodily slavery could not be worse, and it could riot so abuse a free peo ple. I write strongly because I feel strongly, and I would feel the same way if I lived in Oregon, or if I lived in Florida. The principle is the same. I do not deny that there are evils that need to be remedied. Let lis remedy them, but let us not, no matter how great the provocation, take any step that will bind us hand and loot to the powers that have fastened upon us all the evils of which we now complain.

The stage never looked lovelier than it appeared to those who gazed upon its artistic beauty on Friday night even before the performance had be gun. Laces, pictures, rings and flowers had given it the appearance of a fairy bower. i he audience was a large and en thusiastic one. And no wonder, for a finer display of home talent was never seen in Wilson. Surprise was written on the faces of many as the programme was presented piece by piece and this gave way to undisguis ed admiration, culminating in sincere and rapturous applause. From the first piece to the last the interest was unabated. The chorus was well received. 1 hen followed the trio, winning its meed of praise. Miss Nolia Gardner's solo with guitar accompaniment was catchy. She has a remarkable sweet voice and more than one voung gal lant "dreamed of her," doubtless. 1 he quartette whicli lollowed was beautiful and well rendered ; all the gentlemen have good voices and de served the encore they received The instrumental duett by Miss Gertrude Blount and Mrs. Privett wras excellent. ine next piece, in. r. Willis pa thetic story of Absalom, recited by Mr. Robert Physioc, was magnificent. 1 his young gentleman is an actor born. Hard study excellent training and natural endowments have com bined to make him a histrionic star worthy to grace any occasion. Mr. Shelly Sawyer's solo, "Anchored,' 11 - was excellent, flis tine tenor voice was aam rably adapted to this piece and he sang it well. It is always a pleasure to a Wilson audience to listen to Miss Laura Cordon's exquisite singing. She has a wonderfully rich, pure, melodious voice and the solo she rendered was excellent. The next piece, duet by Mr. Saw yer and Miss Gardner, was the hit of the evening. It was splendid. Both did well. The singing was good ; the acting superb. They carried the audience by storm. Their concep tion of the correct expressions and attitudes was perfect and as perfectly portrayed. The quartette, "Last Night," was beautiful. The sopranos by Misses Blount and Cordon were exquisite and the full, rich, deep-toned altos by Miss Barnes and Mrs. Quails as per fect as can be listened to. The next piece, an instumental solo, by Miss M.VF. Physioc, was a surprise. Such playing has seldom been heard here. With the powerful touch of a master hand she swept the keys and the grand strains of music" leaped responsive to her will, and again, as soft as a mother's caress when soothing her child to shadowy chores of sleep, she touched the instrument and it breathed forth divine harmony, which stole over the senses, lulling to rest the weary soul and banishing every thought of care. The spontaneous applause she re ceived was a tribute to her genius such as only a Wilson audience can J give. The duet between Misses Porter and Barnes was delightful. Their voices blended harmoniously together and the effect was magical. Miss Lucy Whitehead's recitation vas marvellous. Wilson audiences know that she possessses histrionic powers of a very high order, that she is wonderfully gifted and that training and cultivation have all united to make her very powerful and effective, but nobody was prepared for the sur prise she gave them in the "Massacre of Zoroaster." She was magnificent. The selection was well adapted to display the magic of her transcendent art and she measured fully up to it. The applause which she eovked was tumultuous and would not be still until she graciously responded She selected a very humorous dialect story, which convulsed with laughter her hearers and easily relieved the tension her previous dramatic selec tion had created, as well as eviden ced her rare versatility. Mr. Robert Physioc sang "The Old Sexton," as it has never been Highest of all in Leavening Power. ABSOLUTELY PURE heard in Wilson. He possesses a wonderlully rich, deep and powerful bass voice, and is even more enjoy able when turning words into tune than when putting into them the pathos or impassioned anger of a Brutus wronged. Tarborois fortunate in that Miss Lizzie Porter lives there. W onder- fully fair of face and feature, of sweet, gentle disposition, 01 lovely manner and seductive attractiveness, coupled with the gift of a magnificent voice which has been skillfully trained and admirably cultivated it is no wonder that she reigns a queen over whatev er circle she enters and that her friends are legion. Her rendition of that beautiful selection, "Flower Girl," was rapturously applauded. The recitation, Brutus and Cas- 1 11 r t 1 . 1 sius quarrel, Dy Mr. rnysioc and Rev. Mr. White, was very fine.

Raynios & Co., Rich mond, Va., through their salesman Mr. Cook recently brought 'one of their matchless Chickering Upright Pia nos to Wilson. The"case is of finely selected oriental mahogany and is of a design only by the Chickering's. The panels are solid and finely en graved. The tone is that deep, rich, liquid quality which is a part of the Chickering Upright Pianos. The touch, while not extremely light, is very elastic and in connection with its fine repeating quality, which is found only in this make, is in con nection with the beautiful tone, the realized dream of the artist. This instrument also has the sostenuto, or tone-sustaining pedal, so highly recommended by our musical crite rions, and take it all in all, is proba bly one of the finest pianos that has ever been in Wilson.
