The party in North CarolL na was formed almost wholly of farmers, driven as they say from Democracy by the use of fraudulent methods. Two years ago, for the sake of re form, fusion with Republicans was effected by Populist lead- . ... ers. me campaign cry was a new election law and lower taxes. When the new born politicians came into their pow er at the last legislature, being inexperienced, they were tak en in tow by the Big Six. The result was that the legislature cost the Staie more than any Democratic legislature. Tax es were raised and ofricesjn creased. To cap the climax, an election law was passed, which in use has proven the most obnoxious ever saddled on a free people. ... It was so arranged that the power was in the hands of Populist and Republicans. These men, by a combination can register any one at will, no rnatter what his qualifications may . be. This is not theory, it has been done often during the present reg istration. When the present camoaign came on the battle cry was silver. On one side were the Republicans calling loudly for gold, and on the other Demo crats and Populists calling for the free and unlimited Goinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Principle would have predic ted fusion between the silver elements instead of between a gold and a silver wing. At this point the Populist party ceased to be a party of the the people. It was taken in hanH by Hall Ayer and has been run by him ever since. Against the wishes of the lead ers electoral fusion with Dem ocrats was agreed to. But the voice oi the people demanded an arrangement by which their vote for silver should count. Ayer - thought he had done enough for the people in this to have the privilege of mak ing a little side deal for nurri- 1 A 1 . 1 of Person. oer one, ina tnis is iust ex- Sixth District T. S.

These men stood on a platform which for the most part was an ideal one. It'7contained a declara tion for the free coinage of sib ver, which is at present the bone of contention between all parties. At this stage in the history of the Populist par ty it was truly a party of prin ciple, a party of political hon esty, and any one reviewing, the present situation will give the honor of pushing to the Wilson county on Monday in a secret conversation with a friend asked this question, which was overheard by a pas-ser-byf "Where does the Pop ulist party stand to-day ? Has it not merged into the Repub lican party?" There is more truth than poetry in this state ment. The party leadership has merged entirely into Re publicanism. Even the head of the party stands to-day as a candidate on that party. He as their leader; has set the ex ample of party, repudiation which he expects every mem ber of his party to-follow. For a season he tried to unite the elements on the sly and when lies had gained some little head way, put himself in a position so that he might reap for him self the benefits of his labors. The Wils.cn Populist who made the statement given above condemned in strong lanoaiaofe the deal here in our own coun ty. He said that if Populists wanted relief they must throw oft at once the leaders who are carrying them into -the gold camp, "and so they did when they condemned Democratic fraud go to. that party which offered them free silver. Said he: our leaders have sold out to Republicans and it is our duty to threw off these leaders and fight with Democrats for that-principle which I believe and which you believe to be the salvation of us farmers. Three, of the most promi nent Populists in Wilson coun ty have openly denounced their fellow leaders. They have shown that : the principle which has led them from the foundation of the party still lingers with them. More than that they are taking steps to ward aiding others to accom plish that policy for which the laboring classes of our entire land are .striving. : CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.

Concert - Only a few remain who can recall the marvelous enthusiasm which at tended Jenny Lind's first appearance n America in the "old Castle .Garden, in 1850. y lien she arrived from England 50,000 people were at the dock to greet her. That night 30,- 000 people Sereneded her in front of her hotel. Seats for her concert sold at fabutous prices. On the night .of her first American concerCover 5000 people had gathered in.the Battery before Castle Garden by six o'clock, although the concert did not begin until eight.

The whole scene has. now. been re pictured by Hon. Oakey Hall, ex Mayor of New York. City, and he gives a wonderfully graphic recital of the event in the November Ladies' Home Journal.

They flourish and long may they flourish ! but the intensi ty of their prevalence is not .so great just now but that the more impor tant coincident operations of the uni verse may. compete with them suc cessfully for the attention of mankind. Four years ago, when the football players owned Thanksgiving Day outright, and had a preferred claim on a large part of the fall, the voices of the prophets of the republic cla mored hourly against the tyranny of athleticism, and deplored with lamen tations and much tossing up of dust i the apparent supremacy of matter over mind. Buf mind since tnen seems to have slipped out again from under matter. After Yale quar relled with Harvard over a question of etiquette a. shrinkage of interest in college games gradually ensued, which: has been helped along by events in general. Hard times have saddened us; war scares Jand silver scares have saddened us; war scares have sobered us. This fall : we are full of politics; and though we are not so engrossed.as to refuse to look at a football game if it cOmes in our way. we cannot oring our selves to feel as we might have felt five years ago, that the chief end of man in autumn is football: For the time be ing we are a' chastened' people and take even our , pleasures somewhat sadly, and our chief end this fall is to vote. From "The Point of View," in November Scribner's. Geiifsis of Aristocracy.V I History shows that aristocracy is an instance of the suryival of the flt- tesjt. In the days of personal violence : it was those who could give and take the hardest knocks that became the founders of princely houses, ,and Na poleon's campaigns and England's cjlonial wars demonstrate that the principle is still valid. But the old conditions, though they have not changed at all, 'have been much modified by circumstances ; and iwhat the man of iron was of yore, the! man of gold is to. day. The merchant price, the cotton lord, the Napoleon of finance, are the men who give and take the hard knocks in our day, and the result is the same. . For benefit-' ing themselves, they are . rewarded with titles and honors abroad, with adultatioft at home ; and escutcheons still mean that their professors have triumphed in the struggle for life. The means employed have changed : the moated grange and the battle- ' axe have been replaced by the count- ' ing houseand the cheek-book, but the principle remains.
