Momentous piestions are brewing in
North Carolina upon which the iVnw
cracy of die State are not now united.
As a matter of course these must be dis
cussed pro and con in order that tht-v
may be understood, but we regret to say
it seemsto us that these discussions have
not always been conducted on either side
with that spirit of fairness and justice
which is absolutely necessary to a proper
understanding of their importance mid
bearing upon thu welfara of the Stale
and the people. This is wrong; we wish
to impress upon our friends, both in and
out of the Alliance, that these questions
should be settled upon their merits and
ought therefore to be discussed on their
merits. The reason must be appealed to
and that can best be d ine without resort -iag
to acrimony and personalities, llea
soi is without eflect upon one who feels
tint his honest cause is treated with in
justice or that his trusted leaders have
bjen misrepresented.
We have occasionally seen a disposi
tion on the part of som members of the
Alliance to distrust everyone who does
not belong to the order. This is not
right; the Alliance does not contain all
the wisdom uor all the honesty; there
are patriots who do not belong to it.
Neither should non Alliance Democrats
assume that they possess all the sense
and discretion and that they alone know
how to direct the afFairs of the country.
There has more than once appeared a
disposition to forget the merits of the
questions at issue. They have nothing
to do with any man's individual record,
and if it bo deemed necessary to attack
his record it should be done in fairness and
dispassionately. If his utterances are
objects of criticism let them be criticised
but the critics should be sure that they are
his utterances. He should be treated at
least with the same justice that is accord
ed the vilest criminal he should have
the benefit of any doubt in his favor.
Neither should unworthy motives be at
tributed to men because they differ.
Men will differ honestly on all questions,
as they have always done. There are
demagogues iu all parties and all organi
zations; but it does not follow that every
man is a demagogue because he enter
tains different or new views on political
matters. Such modes of discussion only
excite anger and resentment, and do far
more harm than good; they convince no
one of error but rather confirms them in
their erroneous opinions. From conver
sations with li'iiilin" men both in and out
..i . ,- , ...
ot the Alliance we believe that existing
j-n- c - , - , !
aitterences on nnancial questions can be i
i- , i i ..i i . i '
adjusted and settled without a surrender
, , . .
ot principle by anybody aud 1:1 a manner ;
satisfactory to all without disrupting the
Democratic party if the discussion of
these questions he conducted on both
sides in a conservative manner with a
disposition on the part of everyone to tote
fair.
So far as our own experience and ob
servation go those who, to distinguish
them, may be called outside Democrats
havo indulged in intemperate and intol
erant language to a greater extent than
members of the Alliance. Alliance Dem
ocrats are just as patriotic aud just as will
ing to listen to sound reason and argument
as their non-Alliance brethren, and, we
are inclined to believe,are more willing
to acknowledge an error. Dictatorial
language and overbearing manner have
no influence with Alliance men. We do ;
not mean to say that these unseemly
methods have been indulged in to any ap
preciable extent, but we do mean to give
a timely warning against a resort to them,
and we mean to warn individuals as wll
as newspapers; because the Alliance does
not intend to be intimidated by such
means.
So far as the Third Party is concerned
we can truthfully say that we have never
heard i member of the Alliance advocate
it. There area few, no doubt, who would
join it, but they are few in number and
they favor it only as a last resort. The
Third Party agitation is kept up chiefly
by Democrats who do not belong to the
Alliance in decrying and condemning it
when there is no disposition among the
people of North Carolina to organize it.
This is unwise and useless, in our opinion.
It only serves to keep the idea alive.
Let us discuss these matters without
passion or prejudice, but let us be charita
ble in all things, remembering that charily

There has been great progress in edu
cati.uial matters in the eastern part of the
Slate in the past few years. There is a
number of good schools springing up in
every town. The people are more eni
bued with a desire to educate their chil
dren now than they have been in twenty
five years. In this immediate section
ibis disposition has developed to a remark
able extent and it is extremely gratifying
to note the fact.
There is no necessity for eastern people
tosendtluir children to distant schools
if they sustain the schools in their midst.
The nearer home the school the less expen
sive it is, and for this reason if for no other,
our people ought to support and build up
their home schools. The better the schools
in a community the more attractive is
that community to people looking for
homes. It pays in every way to foster
home schools.
The Twin City National bank of New
Brighton. Minn , has brought suit against
United States Treasurer Nebeker for the
return of the semi annual tax of one half
of one per cent, levied on National banks.
The suit is brought to test the constitu
tionality of the law imposing the tax.
The bank claims that the constitution
provides that all bills for raising revenue
shall originate in the House of Represen
tatives. The Senate, it is claimed, has
authority to propose or concur in amend
ments as on other bills, but the constitu
tion in this case is that the banking act
was not a bill to raise revenue when it
reached the Senate and could be trans
formed by the Senate into such a bill.
There are other grounds also upon which
the tax is contested. It is said it would
require 10,000,000 to refund this tax
if the case is decided in favor of the
banks.
Roswell P. Flower was last week
nominated for Governor and William F.
Sheehan for Lieutenant Governor by the
Democratic party of New York. These
nominations are looked upon as a defeat
for Hill, who was said to be opposed to
them, and the belief is that Hill has lost
his grip. The platform opposes the coin
age of a silver dollar which is not of the
intrinsic value of every other dollar in
the United States and unites with the
friends of honest money everywhere in
stigmatising the Sherman progressive
silver basis law as no solution of the gold
aud silver question and as a fit appendix
to the subsidy and bounty swindle. Hill
was endorsed.
Many Virginia Republicans are kick
ing against Mahone's determination to
make no contest this year. A number
of the most prominent members of the
party has called a mass convention at
Koanoke on October 1, for the purpose
' 1 ,
of reorganizing the partv and taking
B ' p
such sters as wisdom may dictate. The

call entirely ignores General Mahones

The Aeus and Observer has been
enlarged to an eight column paper and is
now piinted on new type and with a new
press. The AVk j ami Observer has one
of the best editoiial staffs in the State,
and while not always agreeing with its
methods and tone we recognize the fact
that it is a fearless Democratic journal
and wish it financial success. We con
gratulate it on these evidences of prosper
ity. New York politics are attracting at
tention. There is dissatisfaction among
Deluocrut8 , New York City. Tain-
many Hall has secured control of every
thing and the county Djm.jor.iey U kick
loir. jNoiwithttnding, (lie papers are
predicting 50,000 majority for Flower
Jones is also kicking hard but it is said he
has only one vote, and that will hardly
change the result.
The Republican office holders of the
State have determined to establish a
weekly newspaper at Raleigh in the in
terest ot the administration and it will be
manipulated in Harrison's interest, a!
though Blaine has a much stronger fol
lowing than the President.
The death of Balmaceda late usurping
president of the Republic of Chili com
mitted suicide a few days ago who is a great
delight of his enemies and the rest of the
world, except the newspapers, which will
now have to find something else to talk
bout.
Reports from some sources say that
the Alliance in Kansas is dying out, but
Col. Polk denies this and says if it be so
why are the Democrats and Republicans
combining against the alliance in oonntj
affairs.?
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
HAS LOOKED AFTER THE BONDHOLD
ERS. A farmer in Michigan sold his farm
of 100 acres in lSli-t for 8100 per acre
not an extravagant price at that time
and received 810,001). With this he
bought 10.000 of United States bonds
bearing six per cent, interest in coin.
These bonds furnished an income of
SOOO per annum, and left him free to dis
pose of his own labor as lie saw fit. His
labor, together with the income from the
bonds, supported his family without add
ing to or taking from the original amount
received as proceeds from the sale of the
farm. In 1873 the (5 per cent, bonds
were exchanged for 4 per cents, due in
1907. At present rate of premium his
bonds are worth $12,500. How is it
with the purchaser of the farm? For the
first few years the business of funning,
paid him a profit, but since 1 87-1 1 i -t
profits have been less, until a state of
positive loss has been reached. As it
now stands, he is an old titan; his best
energies gone. His farm is less fertile,
his buildings old and weather beaten lie
has no more stock than when he began,
and the farm that cost him 10,000
twenty-six years ago, upon which ho has
expended all the labor of the best years
of his life, cannot be sold for $4,000.
Bnt the money with which it was pur
chased has increased iu its power over
values until it will now buy more thau
thiee just such farms. N. II. Dun

HOW KINDNESS TO A NORTH ERN STB.AX
UKR RICHLY RECOMPENSED.
Wilson, N. C, Sept, 10. Last fall

Rocky Mount. He was very- fond of
hunting and Mr. C. II. Harris, who for
sometime last fall was an auctioneer for
the Wilson warehouse and is 'he ex editor

ly lent the stranger his dogs and showed
him numerous courtesies. The stranger
dropped dead on Monday and when his
will was opened it was found that he had
bequeathed Mr. Harris one hundred thou
sand dollars for courtesies and favors
shown him, to be paid by his executors
in United States currency. Mr. Har
ris left to day to get tho money. State

Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people In run
down or weakened state ot health derive
from Hood's Sarsaparllla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine " makes the weak
strong." It docs not act like a stimulant,
Imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but In the most natural war
Hood's Sarsaparllla overcomes that tired feel
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood.
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
Fagged Out
"Last spring I was completely fagged out
My strength left me and I felt sick nnd mis.
erable all tho time, so that I could hardly
auena to my business. I took one bottle of
Hood's Sarsaparllla, and it cured me. Thero
is nothing like it." It. C. Beoole, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
" I derived very much benefit from nnod's
Sarsaparllla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel
lent appetite." Ed. Jenkins, Mt.8avage,Md.
