The seven per cent tariff reduction provided for by the Mills bill,hvhich has passed the House of Representa tives, would seem to be quite a small item, but it will greatly relieve the people by a reduction of the prices of necessities. There is hardly a probability of this bill passing the Senate during the present session, owing to the opposition of Republic can members. The contest in the House has been long and bitter. All opposition to it wa3 from the Re publican side. The whole record of tl;U party is against any tax redue tion, notwithstanding its promises and its platform?. Its policy has been, clearly, discrimination against the poor i;i favor of the rich. Its national standard bearers are of those who pride themselves on their pedigree and a plethoric purse. It is asserted, without contradiction, that the presidential candidate de clared that "two meals a dav was sufficient for workingmen." Those who are the chosen leaders of this party in North Carolina were iden tified with it in days past, when all public moneys, even to the school fiuid?, were squandered to pay the per diem of legislators who had no interest in the state, save that of plunder, and who foisted on us an unjut debt of millions. The back ers up of these candidates, State and National, are monied men, mo nopolist, capitalists, whose great manufactories are protected; for in stance, Mr. Carnegie, the bosom friend and associate of Jas, G. Blaine, and the owner of the Edgar Steel Works of Pittsburg, Pa., stat ed before the Ways and Means com mittee that in one year his individu al profits from this protected indus try amounted to one million five hundred thousand dollars, or nearly Jive thousand dollars per day. Does Mr. Carnegie need any protection ? We think not. But this is not all. This same Mr. Carnegie's employ ees, during his absence in Scotland, were forced to a strike against a re Auction of wages. If protection pro tects the wage-earner would a strike be all necessary ? If Mr. Came gie's income is so great that it Amounts to thousauds per day, why is it that those under hiin scarcely eke out ft living ? As it is with this protected manufacturer, so it is with all of them. A few years places them high in the scale of shod dy aristocracy, whilst those who do Mic ,uu i-ivn uiong m tne same ohl tie death of his pareulg who are re rut, The Republican party is the ! ported to have committed suicide a political guardian of monopoly and cwdays since.

Perhaps, on account of oddity aud otherwise, the Third Party is spread ing itself the widest The above fact seems to be verified by the operations of the leaders few in number of the Third Party in and around Raleigh. They have employed a colored preacher, named Grandison, to canvass in the inter terest of their party. He spoke in Raleigh recently to quite a crowd, composed largely of negroes, being listened to wiih attention and fre quent applause. Several days ago he was in Vance county to speak. It looked as though he would meet wifh a cold reception, inasmuch as his bills announcing the speaking were torn down, but he managed to appear before quite a number of leading and intelligent (?) negroes. It is said that he captured them cow pletely and that they are taking steps for something of n organiza tion for the Third Party. Well, we are truly glad to see the colored people take this sh-orj; step from the Republican to the Thml Party in the way of progress I The Third Party 'will have faithful allies in the colored voters, TO THE SVHVIVOHS OF CO.F., 1st V, i'AVAERV To-morrow the old soldiers of Mecklenburg, the survivors of the civil war, will hold a reuniou picnic in Charlotte. During the past week we have received several notes froni survivors of Co. F,, Ui N, C Cav alry, proposing that during the com- ing Fair in October this compt anv have a reunion in Concord, the place where they organized and enlisted "for the war," One of the old com pany from Moorpsyjlle U qnite in tannest. As a member of this com pany the senior editor has conferred with the survivors who have been in town this week. All are in favor of this coming together. Now let us propose, that as many as possible, either by conference or letter, agree upon some regular plan, appoint the day and have the reunion. All propositions sent to The Standard will be kept for reference- and a con sultation arranged in conformity thereto. This consultation should be had at an earlv dav so as to give time for a general notification to all the company, which The Standard proposes to do. We have no doubt that Gen. Barringer and all officers and privates of this company would enjoy this meeting. Let us hear from everv one interested. Address The Standard. This scribe was raised by oe of the best of mothers, who from his earliest infancy instilled iiito him a profound reverence for religion. He has never forgotten her lessons in this regard, and he hopes he will never Jive long enough to forget them, But there Jias sprung up a new species of religion which he fears he has too little reverence for, and which he thinks his sainted mother would not chide him for not reverncing. And that is the kind of religion that introduces-itself to residents five blocks away in shouts and yells calculated to wake tke ba bies and set the dorrs to barking. The kind that usually lets itself be heard far and near about the hour when decent Christian people of all creeds and sects are supposed to be in bed, and which last? as long a3 muscles hold out. Say reader, have you got any of that kind within hearing? If not, drop the scribe a postal card con taining your photograph, and by return mail he promises to convince you that your lot is cast among the most blessed of earth. Charlotte Observer. We are in the same plight over here,dear brother. Oh for that good old time sort of fireside religion that is not proclaimed from the house top in the "wee sma hours." Swallowed Carbolic Add. Indianapolis, Ind., July 27. While a prayer meeting was in progress at Meridian Street M. E. Church lae t evening the people present were alarmed by groans as of a man in agony and on an investigation being made Eugene Zersis was found on the floor with an empty bottle at hand. The bottle had contained carbolic acid which Zersis had swal lowed. He died before he could be removed from the churcb. Zersis came from Minneapolis last spring and married a young lady of this city, There is no cause known for the act unless it be depression from - Qmty'i Triek. i They say Math Quay, chief bottle- washer of the Republican campaign, is a very shrewd man: but his first flank movement on the Democratic stronghold has petered out in pitiful style. There was a national conven tion of colored men called to meet in Indianapolis last week. The call was for colored men of Democratic pro clivities, and the object was to or ganize for aiding in carrying the election of Cleveland. The Conven tion seemed to mean business as was evinced by its audacity in meeting in the very city where the Republi-J can nominee for President livefc. But Senator Math Quay resolved to stampede the Convention and tarn it into a Harrison and Morton ratifi cation meeting. He selected a dozen of the smartest of his colored claqu -ary in Philidelphia.and sent them to Indianapolis literally loaded down with funds. The programme was to dazzle the poor Democratic darkies by ehoiwng them the town by gas light, to the music of gurgling cham pagne and the clinking of coin. Tins Democratic darkies bit splendidly at the champagne and the coin, and they followed Quay's money spen ders until the wee sma' hours even .were passed, and the sun had brushed tbe eastern horizon with a 6treak of red, The next day fhe Quay ''niggers," who had "stood treat" so bountifully attempted to enter the convention hall and com plete the stampede for Harrispn an4 Morton. The attempt was as far as they got, and several are glad they escaped with their lives, The door keeper declined to admit them. He said the house inside was packed with Cleveland niggers and pyery nop! 'em uad a razor in his hip pock et which he was wearing for use, not ornament. He said some of the darkeys from the South wore razors a foot long, with edges on both side. The Philadelphians expostulated and referred to their generosity the pight before, ''Ah !" said the ebony doorkeeper, "We kin drink Harrison and Morton liquor, an' smoke Harrison and Mor ton seegar3, but ef you try to preach Harrison ami Morton gospill to dis conwention, you bettah be prepared for all final change," The I'Uledelphians were afraid to report to Quay that they never even entered the hall after spending the money, so they pushed in anyhow. In a moment the dignified Philadel phians emerged making for the street at a full run, assisted by several big boots, while the air fairly throbbed and glistened with yolls and razors, They left the city hastily and on ar riving at Philadelphia made a truth ful report. Mr. Quay's first flank movement was a ludicrous failure, and the whole country is laughing. Try again Matt. But perhaps it is too late, The leopard's spots have not bfen heard from yet. but the Ethiopian is changing his political skin. Charlotte Observer, We agree with the Durham Plant in the following. Let Greensboro be the place. Since thinking the matter over and looking at all sides, the Plant conies ont against More head City as the place of holding the Convention of Democratic Clubs. We' are in favor of Greensboro. It is more central, It is easilv accessible. r Its railroad facilities are ample. Ite hotel facilities are excellent. If the Convention meets at Greensboro it will seem like a Con vention and not a fishing frolic. If held at Greensboro the Conven tion will be made up of a large del egation from the great Piedmont section of the State, the section where more disaffection now exists than in any other part of the State, and thereby will be the means of en thusing Democratic workers right where Democratic workers are most needed. Winston, Reidsvilie, High Point, Lexington, Salisbury, Concord,Char lotte, Statesville, Newton, Asheville, Fayetteville and Durham, can all send delegations to Greensboro. They cannot send many delegates to Morehead. Morehead is too far. The Hon. John S. Henderson has secured the establishment of a num ber of new post offices and mail routes in his district. For the past two weeks he has accomplished something in this liie every day. The Hon. W. H. H. Cowleshas also done some good work i this direc tion. Harrison Supporters. The Standard Oil Trust, Pacific Railroad Ring, Rubber Trust, Sugar Trust, Steet Rail Trust, Coal Ring, Lumber Trust, Jay Gou'd, Land Grabbing Corpor ations, are all for Harrison free whis- kpv ft nil V J V f the forty- seven per cent, tar iff. A melon patch near this city is s;iid to be haunted by the ghost of a boy who died alter eating some of its fruit, which he had stolen. Per sons who pass the place at night claim to have seen a white figure, and to tfive heard unearthly shrieks and groans. Evidently a case of ekolera iu-phantom. Odanda (Fla.)

Va., July 31, Two maiden ladies, Misses Beves, living near Davisville, just above here, last night shot and killed one burglar and mortally wounded and captured another, about midnight.. One of the sisters saw the man in her room and seized a revolver and fired, killing him. He was shot through the temple. The other sister was awakened, seized the wepon and sprang on the other burglar as he was trying to escape through the window. He was too late and fell to the ground with a bullet through his groin. Both burglars were stran gers in these parts, but are suppos ed to be oldtimers. The two ladies are being lyionized by the neighbors. They are generally supposed to keep o large sum of money in their house. News & Observer.

A Berlin merchant who advertised for a wife lately received 277 answers. Of these 87 were widows varying in age from 25 to 52; 42 of them had no children, and 22 posessed fortunes Lentirely under their own control of over $20,000. Four ladies who had been separated from their husbands also wrote to express a desire to try their luck at marriasre for a second time one of them for a third time. Of the remaining 1S6 only 2 gave their age as over 30; 18 of them pro fessed to be just turned in. Seventy one photographs were enolosed, and 31 of them are said to represent re markably pretty girls. A Queer Marriage Fee. "When I was living in Middle town, Kentuckey," said Dr. Morri son, "I was called upon to marry a young couple, which I did. After the ceremony the room said noth ing about a feer A few days later I met him on the street, and, calling me off to one side, he asked me if I would be willing to take my fee in something besides money. I told him that would be all right, and he left me promising that I should not be forgotten. The next day he kept his word. He sent me a load of wheat straw, a stack of hay, and a jug of molases. Atlanta Journal. Governor Fitzhugh Lee, of Vir ginia, has been asked foi a photo of his phiz by an inventor who is get ting up a pack of cards, forty-eight Governors of the States and Terri tories. Four more will have the pictures of the Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates of the two leading parties, and the little joker, or fifty third card, will bear upon its face a picture of either Mr. Blaine or Mr. Butler. Truly, the American inventor leads the world in fertility of resource and audacity of consumation. Ex. Falling? In tine. New York, July 31.
