This year, this busy season has more than ever before made our streets bare of visitors from the rural pre cincts. To the good eff cts of the Alliance meetings we must attribute partly this chaage. These meetings and the exchange of ideas between our country folk is fast making good farming a rule instead of an exception. A trip over a goodly portion of Cabarrus and Stanly counties con vinces U3 that the crops are general ly better worked and, notwithstand ing the partial drouth, are much more promising than in years before under the same circumstauces. En ergy and perseverance will tell, and we are glad to note that our rural population is fast becoming a self supporting and independent people. The people of Cabarrus and Stan ly have ever been a model people for industry and application to the uiiiuoutvicij u.tv me aim we are glad that another step forward in progress has beeu made. The old one crop cotton system of a few years past is done away with. Di versified farming is now the order. Our market is stocked with chick ens, eggs, butter, vegetables and fruits of all kinds, and our mer chants, with an eye to aiding the farmer, have been shipping day af ter day these products to less favor ed points. Cabarrus people have struck the key note to success when they, with these addendas to the regular crop, pay their summer gro cery hills, which heretofore were necessarily paid for in the fall. We hope the Alliance will continue to grow and its influence be extended over all the land. In the end let us say that in the coming full Cabarrus will have her first truly County fair. Every far mer is interested in it. AVe are as a people able to make it second to no exhibit, agriculturally, in the State. Let us do it. After a - Spring and Summer work that has ho equal in our history let us all come togeth er with an exhibit of our products and make our agricultural record one long to be remembered. J uuoe Russel says the typical ne gro rule in the South lias been "a parody on civilized institutions." Yet Judge Russell did what he could to maintain this rule. His party still endeavors to maintain such. Where are the people whose fathers established our institutions going to stand when it comes to a contest be tween the renewal of such a parody and the honest, efficient and credit able government the Democracy affords us? WHITE AXD CROSS. The agony (to the public) is over. White and Cross, the Raleigh Na tional Bank Boodlers. have been tried, convicted and sentenced. The first gets five and the second seven years in the chain .gang. There are few who sympathize with these men now. But how different the case a few 6hort months ago when they were distributing their stolen money with liberal hands! The Observer's sympathies are with the innocent sufferers of White and Cross. White, it will be remembered' stated on his return from Canada that through all nis career he had never lost his religion. It is to be hoped that he will still hold cn to it, and by the time his sentence has expired, its quality will have improved. They have appealed. The above from the Charlotte Ob server fully expresses The Standards opinion. We are glad, aye truly glad, that boodle and hypocritical reli gious gush have failed to cheat the law. DOCKERY, TIIK DEMAGOCIE. A demagogue is a flatterer of ig norant people. For the sake of gain he confirms them in their errors. He does not make men better or wis er. He does not instruct them, He finds them ignorant and he keeps them so. An artful flatterer, wheth er he is trying to steal the virtue of iifriddv ffirlor to deceive an unlearn ed people, is always the worst enemy of mankind. The devil could nev er have cheated Eve out of her home in Eden if he had not flattered her. Flattery is still the natural weapon of the demagogue. The more inex perienced the victim the easier to accomplish the mischief. In the Democratic paity, banded together for mutual protection, are found the mechanic, the farmer, the merchant, the physician, the lawyer, and the minister of the gospel. They have now and have always had com mon interests. They seek a common protection against a common ememv -against a combination .of capital North and a combination of ignor ance South asrai.nst the rule of dir ty demagogues South and the rule of monopolists North gainst steal ing by Special Tax Bond legislation South and stealing bv Tariff leris- latiou and Dependent Pauper Pen sion bills North, and against cor ruption everywhere. It is no won der these men of different occupa tions ate banded together in the Democratic party. They have suf fered together. Together they have borne the iniquities of Radical mis rule. Now nobody knows all this better than Dockery. He was here when the Radicals were stealing in 1868, and when the National Republican party, assisted by O H. Dockery and the State Radicals, with develish malice, was trying to ram down the throats of our prostrate social equal ity. He voted for them and nobody has heard his repentance since therefore he is their lawful repre sentative today, co-worker in their iniquity, joint heir of their rascali ty, and partaker of their sins. Is it possible that Dockery can pose be fore the country as a reformer after all this ? Looking through the thin gause of his pretenses it is pos sible' that anybody can fail to recog nize in O. II. Dockery of '88, 0. H. Dockery of 'C8 ? Dockery proposes to get the $.150, 000,000 out of the United States Treasury. If he is honest, why don't he first denounce the party whose internal levenue and tariff legislation took this money out of the pockets of the people? Can the people trust the Radical party to undo the mis chief itself has wrought? Does anybody seriously believe that the hair of such a dog is good for such a bite ? Is it possible that the Radi cal jparty can quietly suck internal pap for twenty years in office, and ill .i men nonestiy propose, in order to get back into office again, to destroy the system a system created and fostered and milked by themselves and for themselves? Does anybody except a Radical or a disguised Had ical believe that Dockery .is honest when he says he wants to scatter the one hundred and fifty million .dol lars now in the Treasury among. the people, and still, at the same time, proposes to retain the Tariff machin ery by which he knows that hun dreds of millions of dollars and arean nually wrung from the poor farmers oi this country ? With what sort of face can Dock ery join the Farmers' Alliance, on organization devoted peculiarly to the interest of farmers, and yet, at the same time, boldly advocate the high tanff which was invented by the monopolists . by and with the consent and advice of the devil for the purpose of wringing out the hard earnings of farmers to , centralize this government, to build. up the interests of corporations and put the i capital in the hands of few. Yes, Dockery has adjoined the Alliance, and he will be an active member until November. The organization is non-political in character, but if the leaders don't watch there will be a little politics wherever Dockery goes along. He will try to make his membership pan out something in the campaign. After belonging to a party qf money changers and mo nopolists for twenty years, would he suddenly undertake to pose as a farmer's friend for nothing ? Dock ervis an Alliance man "for revenue only." He hopes to make more by cultivating men than cotton. He is a professional sman engaged in trying to make his living by his profession of politics. His party is not bjg enough to elect him. He joins the Alliance, and now he" is seeking to negotiate a union between the Radical pa.ty and the Farmer's Alliance. This union would be adulterous, and therefore must be secret. In this attempt Dockery has a hard job. The Alliance is non-political Dockery and his party are altogether political. The Alliance is composed of white men Dock ery's party are mainly all black. The Alliance is organized for th,e benefit of farmers Dockery's pariy is organized to tax farmers for the benefit of our infant manufacturing interests, corporations and monopo lies. The Alliance is opposed to the xsational Banking system Dockery's party inaugurated it. Nothing but the most adulterous union could ever be effected between the Farmer's Alliance and Dock ery's party. If Dockery could effect this union, it.ought to be secret it would be too scandalous to bear the liffbt. No member of the Farmer's Alii ance can vote for Dockary unless he is a Radical at heart. If he believes in Dockery it is about as good a test of his principles as need be had he is a Radical by whatever other name you call him, and all the whitewash ing in the State can't make him oth erwise. Dockery intimated in his speech in Raleigh that he did not like law yers. This is not without cause tact it is personal so many of the leaders of his party have been pros ecuted by lawyers. Lawyers have not always done their duty, but Dockery hates them because they did sometimes do their duty in re lating Radical rascality upon ten thousand stumps. The lawyers in the Radical party, who are the ser vants of menopolists (one of them is the Republican candidate for Presi dent)Dockery does not hate. He has formed an Alliance with them to enslave this State. He does not hate Loge Harris, J. C. Pritchard, T. P. Deveraix, and J. B. Mason who.are Radical lawyers and co-workers with him in iniquity. Oh, no, he hates Democratic lawyers, and more because they are Democrats than lawyers. It is true that no man can read the laws of the State without becoming .acquainted with iniquities of the Radical party, and Dockery hates them for this; but he hates them especially because in nearly every county he went into in 1882, a democratic lawyer jumped on him, and rode him out of the country like a bee martin on a spar row hawk Not e en Dockery's own early devotion to the law, and his favorite son's fondness for the pro fession can reconcile him to such tratment. S tate Chroniele. The Joint ( anvam. On Saturday last Col. Dockery caused Judge Fowle to be notified that he would be at Raleigh on Mon day to make joint apcintments. J udfro Fowle abandoned his appoint ment at Charlotte and came back to meet him. On Monday morning Judge Fowle wrote - asking for a meeting at 10 o'clock, and at the meeting the following agreement was entered into: Raleigh, July 23, 1888. At a conference this day held at the Yarborough House, it is agreed between O. H. Dockery and Daniel G. Fowle that they each shall fill his appointments heretofore made and published to &ud including the 24th of August. prox, each being at liberty io dc present tor a joint discussion on equal terms at any appointments made by the other; and that a list of joint appointments shall be made for them after the 24th prox., by mutual inenas selected by them, to wit, T. R. Purirell and R. H. Battle. Esors. such list to be published by the 10th ot August. Dan'l G. Fowle, O. H. DoCKEKT. It is officially estimated that the losses by fire in the United States and Canada for the firt six months of the present year amount to the enormous total of S68.280.00O.a sum far in excess of the losses in corres ponding periods of several former years. JERRT WAS SOLD. An Old Uvery Stable Keeper Earing the Acquaintance ef fieyr Idea, Jerry S kept livery stable not very far from our city. One bright inorning a well-dressed gen tleman, a stranger to Jery, calld for a horse and carnage, to be used for the day; and he was particular to be accommodated with the best. ' I can let you have as good a horse as there is in the city, sir," said Jerry; "but you are a stranger to me, ana j. must uve sumc ouuiu Security, you want, eh?" "Exactly;" "Very well," said the well-dressed gentleman, "what do you qall vcur horse worth?" Six hundred dollars the one will let you have." "Then suppose I leave with you that amount?" "That will do, sir' "All right. Bring ou t the horse.. " The horse and buggy were soon at the stranger's service, and having looked them over, he remarked to Jerry: "I think Fm safe -enough to take that horse at six hundred." Every dollar is there, sir; ana you'll say so when Vou. draw the lines on the road." The well-dressed gentleman took from his pocket-book a five-hun dred and a one-hundred-dollar greenback, which he passed over to the stable-keeper, after which he jumped in and drove off. At night the well-dressed gentle man returned, having had a fine drive of about forty miles. An got DacK, en? saia jerry, as the gentleman entered hi office. ''Yes, sir and I would like for you to come out and see u tne n,orso js as good as it was when I took it We want these things all done straight, you know no after-claps. Jerry was pleased with the well dressed crentleman's manners. He went out; and afterdue examination, pronounced tho horse as good as ever. "Worth as much as it was when I took it, isn't it?" "Certainly." "All right. You may give me that six hundred, if you please." They stepped back into the oflice, where Jerry passed over the two greenbacks. The well-dressed gen tleman put .them into his pocket book, buttoned his coat, gaye his hat a brush, and said : "Good evening, sir." "Uold on," cried Jerry. ''You haven t paid me for the use of the horse, sir." "Paid! use? use of -what horse?" returned the well-dressed gentle man, in suprise. "Why, the horse you've been using all .day. '".answered Jerry, em phatically. "Bless you, my dear man." said the man with, an affable snide." I have been driving my own horse. I bought the horse, buggy and harness of you this morning at your own price; and you have now pronounced them worth as much as I paid for them, acd have bought them, in turn, of me. Reallj sir, it is a le gitimate transaction. If you don't think so, you can consult some legal fiiend. Good evening, sir." And the well-dressed gentleman went away, leaving our venerable etable-1 ieeper sortly puzzled over thie new problem. Jerry had flat tered himself that he was thorough iy posted in all sorts of equire mys teries; but, certainly, this was en tirely a new ida. N. Y. Ledger. The Republican Senators do not appear to have as yot aereed on theie course in regard to the most important matter before the country taxfreduction. What a spectacle does this Gone-Up party present. In the;House, they said at first, we propose to ofler a substitute: but they could not foimulate a measure that would suit themselves even and so they slunk off and day by day stoop tho taunts and jeers of Dem ocracy, who were practically a unit. Then it was given out that the Re publican Senators would prepare a bill and in that body they have had a committee at work for more than a month pretending to prepare a bili JNow.it turns out that they them selves, like the '.Republicans in the House, can't agree. Our hone that a few Republicans may stand up with the Democrats and that the aims bill may yet be passed. But what shall we say of a party that so far, trifles with the interests of the people as to. have no policy in regard to sucn a vital question. News and Observer. The discussion of the tax matter is often obscured by the .use of the .word surplus as applicable to two different ideas. The. amount of money in the treasury today over the needs of the government is spoken oiastne surplus. The amount of taxes collected during the year over and above the needs of the govern ment for the year is also spoken of as surplus. The latter should .be called the surplus taxes, and it is well to estimate it by the month. We collect each month about ten millions more than than there is any need for. The amount of money which the government ownes be cause of these unnecessary taxes is $129,000,000. News and . Observer. The Joint InstUue. The Institute, which closed on the 20th at Misenhejmer and Lentz's Mineral Spring, haying been session for twelve jelays, was a deci ded success in every respect. The officer3 of the Institute were as follows: Prof. Jas, P, Cook, County Superintendent of Cabarrus, President; J. A. Bivins Esq, Secre tary; Prof. Eddins and G. F. Barn hardt Esq., Corresponding Secreta ries. Committee on programme-. Superintendents, Jerome and Cook, Prof's. Spinks and Ludwig and Miss Cora Rose. To this committee is due, in a great part, the success of this the Joint Institute. The manner of conducting the In stitute was quite popular with th,e teachers present, inasmuch as there was a total absence of "gush work' and '"spread eagle style,'' bo .often witnessed in work of this kind. The Institute was really a school. The jcorps of instructors consisted of Practical and experienced teach.- ers. The instructors present were: Dr, L. A. Bikle, Profs. W. H. Spinks, H. T. J. Ludwig, E. F. Ed- dins and J, A. Bivins. During the second week, Miss Clara E, Query, of the Charlotte Graded School, taiignt a model class in primary arithmetic and reading and spelling Miss Query's manner in dealing with little children and gaining their attention and interest were indeed interesting and profitable to the teachers. Perhaps the best lesson taught by Miss Query was uncon sciously done by the love she mani - fested in the work. The instructors gave their all to the success of the Institute. . One hundred and twenty-one teachers were enrolled, and every teacher encouraged the managers of the Institute and the officers of the School System of the two coun ties with promptness and interest. On Saturday the 14th, the County Boards of Education of Cabarrus and Stanly met in j'oint session, at which meeting a large number of the school committeemen were pres ent. Messers. Sam. J. Pemberton, H. C. McAllister and others made practical talks on the school law, : calling special attention to the duties of committeemen and their relations to the boards. Dr. L. A. Bikle preached on Sun day to the members of the Institute one of his pointed, practical and in teresting sermons. During the session of the Institute, addresses on subjects of interest to teachers were delivered by President Schaidt of Mt. Pleasant, Prof. H. C. Duun, Prof. H. T. J. Ludwig, Revs. J. C. Rose, T, W. Smith. G. H. Cox, and Prof. Walter P. Auderews. Drs. R. S. Young, Moose and Pemberton delivered addresses on Physiology and Hygine, which were most interesting and instructive. Three debates were held during the exercises of the Institute on the following subjects: Compulsory Ed ucation: Corporal Punishments, and The Blair Educational Bill. The discussion of the Blair bill was warmly discussed by Supt. Cook and Prof. Eddins on the affirmative and Supt. Jerome and Prof. Andrews on the negative. The committee on de cision decided in favor of the affirm ative. A good work has been done; the teachers have been benefitted, the results of which we may expect to be shown in our next schools. Thus closes the first Joint Institute ever held in the State, the success of which is evident from the complimentary terms in which it is spoken of. The cast of conductin the Institute was just what the ex penses would have been in conduct ing a single Institute. A dispatch from Tiskitwa,Hlinois to the N ew 1 ork Star represents a big revolt among Republican farm ers in that section against the Chic ago platform. Ex State Senator Whiting, fifty years an Abolitionist is out against his party. He says: - "No protected lumber barons can interpret to me the Repulicahism which was taught by the lips of Owen Lovejoy. In the old days the Republican party was not run in the interest of factory and mine owners and a railroad man controlling $300 000,000 of capital was not supreme dictator. Ihe North Carolina members of the general committee of the Na tional Association have issued a call for a convention of Democratic clubs, for the purpose ,pf organizing btate Association. Morehead City has been, selected as the place, and Wednesday, August 15th, as the time. Let thre be a grand rally of Democrats at the Convention.
