W-1l Kenan, Esq , Chairman Demo
cratic Fxee uti e Committee, Xew
Hanover Couity :
Pear Sir: If you refer to the de
mands made by the St. Louis Confer
ence and officially reported by the
delegates of the North Carolina
Farmers' State Alliance as the '"St.
Louis platform" I will say that my
position on it was correctly stated in
an editorial in the Charlotte Obser
ver several weeks ago. I do not en
dorse the preamble where it reflects
on the leadership of the Democratic
party :is to the demands on finance,
land and transportation (there are
only three) I improve them. They
are exactly the same in substance as
those of the demands passed by the
National Farmers' Alliance and In
dustrial Union at St. Louis in De
cember, ISS'.i, and were three of the
national demands when I was nomi
nated and elected in 18U0. The
financial question is the most import
ant to our people. The land ques
tion does not affect us as we have
no United States lands in our State.
The ownership of rsilrosids cannot
aii't-e t us until an amendment to the
constitution of the United States is
pas.-ed granting the rights to pur
chase railroads As bv tween a rail
road commision with power to make
freight and passenger rates, and gov
ernment ownership, 1 believe the
latter the best, but it is too far in
the future to warrant discussion now.
I will only add that sis long as the
people cf the United States permit
corporations to own the railroads
that they should be treated justly
and fairly aud no vote of mine will
be given to violate si contract or im
pair their property. I did not desire
to express my views over my signa
ture at present as each sab-Alliance
will be called upon to ratify or reject
each of the aforesaid demands. Fe
ing chairman of the executive com
mittee of the State Alliance this
publication nuiy affect the votes of
some members that I should have
voted on their on judgemersf.
Yours truly,
S L Alkxaxdek.

The principal characters before
Judge Lave, of the Police eourr,
this morning, were Pill Fox, a cow
boy from Texas, and Hans Jacobs',
the keeper of a combination saloon
and grocery, - on Minna street, be
tween Fourth and Fifth.
Pill was in the dock, dressed only
as good cowboys are in the habit of
dressing. His slouch has was under
his arm, and his long llowing hair
was somewhat matted for the want
of a comb. The usual revolver in
his belt was absent, however, and in
consequence he wore an air of dis
gust, which plainly said lie was only
half a man without it.
He was only charged with being
drunk, but Han3 Jacobs wanted him
charged with assault and murder,
and in order to get a warrant he had
to tell the court about it.
"Well, Mr. Jaeenbs, what do you
want this warrant for?" asked Pros-,
editing Attorney Col ton.
"Veil, he vas shoot at me last
night."
"Who sh t at you ?v asked Mr.
Col ton.
"Dot man dare mit de long hair.
lie va; a vi'd cowboy."
"What did lie shoot at you fur ?'
"Voost to make me some fun, be
said."
"How did it happen ?"
"Veil, you sees he comes in my
shtorfi and said gif him a drink. 1
say jee.i have a glass beick beer ur.d
he said yes kyick. I draws the
beer siml put3 mit the counter on
ven lie roars like one of tlose Texas
steers and kick de beer fon de coun
ter. 1 told him I don't like dot
business und ho could dake his draelc
avay. fty jimmiaie, ho bulls out a
great pig gun mid siys : 'Trow out
er bottle of tarantula yuce mit a horn
frog in it.'"
"Did you obey ?"
"I didn't have got no such shtuff
in de shtorc."
"Then what did you do?"
"1 dohlt hi n don't shoot. I vould
dry to get some, und ven I vas look
in' bang ! vent his gun, und I dauht
dat my nose vas shoot avay."
"Di.l you run out then ?"
"No; I shtarted, ha? hosnys come
back mit you or I niak.s a pi hole
iu you vot a dog jumps through."
"Ditl he shoot again ?"
"No ; I gif him visky, an' ask him
vot for he-shoots me. He says dare

2,800; in 1800 there were 3,300,

following are tne closing paragraphs
w hSeh are classic and beautiful :
Pt-eently I stood, sit night, on the
narrow peninsula where twenty-,
seven ye sirs ago fleet and fort pros
claimed iu thunder the fame of
Fort Fisher. To the eastward
heaved the se a, on whose rolling biN
lows the rising moon poured a flood
of silvery light, while opposite, and
hanging lo w above the shining river
in the limitless depths of the west
ern he-avens, glo ved tiie serene orb
of t'ne evening planner, whose glories
heightened as it neared the horrizon.

Some years ago, we sat with a
committee to award a medal for the
declamation at a commencement at
Albemarle. In the well contested
contest, Mr. G II Crowell won. Now
he graduates from the University
and he' niaele a speech, and here is
what the State Chronicle siys :
.Mr. (I 11 Crowe! I, of New Pons
don, s-it-.l that greatness is a legacy
left us by the fathers if we will but
take it as our ideal and measure it
steadfastly. The Greek and Roman
idesil was perfection. It produced
Plato sind Aristotle, Seneca and
Marcus Aurelius. Our ideal 13
greater than theirs. It is: "Nobils
ity binds to noble conduct." It is
standing to our convictions of truth
and duty. It is being a true man,
living a pure life. Goodness is
greatness. There is something
higher than early ideals. Living
and acting like God makes life. To
lenet rate the depths of the future,
and take hold on God and eternal
things makes us strong and manly.
This is tne true ideal. That ia the
whole of man. Mr. Crowell is to be
a pre acher.
