Whenever you see a man stand
ing idle, wanting a fat job with lit
tle to do, and expecting to get some
thing, something will invariably get
hiin. And it is a God's blessing
that Something does get him.
Axd Congressman Tom Watson,
of Georgia, is not afraid of the force
bill, and voted with the Republicans
against sending copies of it to the
people. Oh, well, who could expect
anything better? As well try to
drown tish in water as to try to
make corruption ashamed of itself.
The nun who writes tor the
Charlotte end of the Salisbury
Watchman fills most of his local
columns with the political news of
bleeding Kansas. It is right funny
to read it till we get tired, which i3
pretty soon. Sossamon does not
know that the war is oyer.

This part of it makes us sick on the

If the people of this country are
us badly demoralized as the third
party preamble to the platform says
they are, where i3 the People's party
going to find honest, incorruptible
voters enough to elect anybody ?
The most paying business in thi
world would be to buy some men
for what they are really worth an
sell them for what they think they
are worth.
"The color of the skin makes no
difference." It doesn't, eh? Of
course it doesn't to some men. But
when you put any other than a white
skin to rule over this chicken or to
dictate to him, you will find out
whether it makes difference or not.
To hold a political meeting in a
church and allow stamping and hol
lowing and hurrahing, and spitting
tobacco juice over the floor shows
the tendency of a rapid transit to
ward brutehood. Such a thing hap
pened though very recently, and yet
the people in this locality are rapidly
becoming "educated. Rats .

The plank demanding that the

embodied in the St Louis Third
party platform, was drafted and

i"" j
tnere are Southerners who say they
will vote for Wreaver. He not only
presented it to the St Louis pow
wow but for three sessions he urged
it before Congress.
A BARREN IDEALITY.
When Governor Mc&iniey aus
dressed the Republican National
Convention at Minneapolis, he gave
utterance to these sentiments :
"We stand for a protective tariff
because it represents the American
home and fireside, the American
American eirl and the
Amiiitj, vv
American bov and the highest pos
sibilites of American citizenship. A
nrntective tariff encourages and
stimulates American industries and
fho wiriest nosaibilities to
American genius and American ef
fort"
An Ohio contemporay makes the
v ve text of a vigorous article
awv "
iho ferneries, from which we
vru o -
quote the following:
"If the tariff raises wages as pro
mised, 'protects' the 'home and 'fire-

out their 4.000 employees at Home

the 'bov and girl,' when the fruit of
their labor through legalized extor
tion, is taken away and given to a
favored few? Such 'protection' to
home and fireside is in the language
of the late Governor Allen, 'a d n
barren ideality."-.Iigh hron.

We don't want the humiliation

There are times and there are

who yell for a Third party offer no

wreck the government but they do
not propose to be successful. They
want office and they want boodle.

people give them a- chance to get

Charlotte- Observer
The Salisbury Watchman, which
reioices in bein? known as a "re-
form" rarer. said in its issue 01
. w
last week that "a vote for Cleveland
is a vote for the force bill; North
eastern Democrats have threatened
it as often as the Republicans.
The Observer challenged this most
remarkable declaration and this
week's Watchmsn says:

and did not make it for the purpose
of deceiving anyone. We challenge
the Observer to show that it was

truth in either statement and
tha Watchman knows it. It must
show that "a vote for Cleveland is a
vote for the force bill," and it
must show what Northeastern
Democrats have introduced
force bills in Congress, and when
they did so; and that Northeastern
Democrats have raised their voices
for a force bill, and when and
where. You have printed some
thing that isn't true and we don't
intend that you shall either bluff
or 'shirk out of the responsibility
for your charges. You print a libel
on a man, accuse him, for instance,
of having stolen something and
when he says the"charge is false you
throw the gauntlet down to him;

was ii inr,nM"i:i.Ti.m A ox
lu another column of this paper
may be found a communication
which fries to defend a political
meeting for invading the sacred pre
cincts of the house of Almighty
God. The article was written ty G
Ed Keistler, who was one of the
orators of that day, and who made
his snwrh in the church. His
re-
marks iu today's issue were cadei
fortli by an editorial remark of
my
own, saying that the meeting, in i
ts
very nature, showed the "tendency
of a rapid transit toward brute-
hood." 1 am not prepared now, nor
ever have been, to state that I think
1 was mistaken, nor that it was
'narrow-mindedness and partisan
artillery;" and 1 believe that any
sane man will form a just and accu
rate estimate of a man who will de
fend such uncommon and unbecom
ing proceedings of any party or
clique. But in this day of secret
political, meetings, of signs and
grips and pass-words, or ooycous
and of utter forgetf illness of all the
past and total ignorance of the Dres-.
ent and future, l confess, with
shame, that we need not be stir-.
prised at a political pow.wow in a
church and any number of minds of
sufficient depravity to defend u
against the attacks of christian
civilization and enlightenment.
You sav.SMr. Keistler, that ou
are proud to belong to a "party that
is pure 'enough to enter a church
with Its meetings a party whose
principles are in sympathy with the
purity of the church." How do
you reconcile the facts in the case?
There were men in that meeting of
every shade from a preacher to an
infidel. They whooped and yelled
and hurrahed and spat tobacco juice
over the floor; they told old stak
jokes (which passed for wit) and
altogether it was the rousmgest,
hullooingest political meeting that
I have ever attended, and was no
freer from corruption than any one
I have ever witnessed. How can
this conglomerated concern be called
pure enough to enter a church?
What I mean is that if the church
of the land is worth anything at all
for the elevation of the morals of
the country, then that meeting was
a disgrace to the church; and I do
not hesitate to say that whatever
church tolerates such thing3 within
its walls will always be a church
of very limited influence and unlim-
itel obscuritv. And since I am
called upon, by Mr. Keistler, for &d
explanation of the meaning of my
words, I would like for him to ex
plum publicly what he meant in
talking priyate'y when he said, "Of
course, now, that meeting would
not have looked very nice in ar.y
church in Concord, but that out
there was in the country." Will
you explain, please, to those people
"out in the country what you think
of their churoh? will you please
tell them what you think of them
anvhow? Will the people of the
"country," and especially those in
the immediate neighborhood of
Rockv Ridge church, ask this
young politcal advisor, this guid'
ing star, to pleas,? explain what he
meant and what he thinks of them?
1 assure you, Mr. Keistler, it was
no misprint I meant every word of
it and a good deal between the
lines. The truth of the
matter is (you being a mem
ber of the same denomination
of that church) instead of defend
ing that meeting, you ought
to go to your room, get
down on vour knees and ask
God Almighty to forgive you for
t.alvinir nart in it.
o tr
You ask theetate of my conscience
for the part 1 took in tne day s pro
ceedings, and I will answer by try
ing to recall all that passed through
my mind as I sat in that house
erected and dedicated to the wors
ship of God. The whole tning seem
ed strange to me. 1 knew the
church, of which this was an inte
eral part had for fifty years rri
ded itseli on being non-ponticai ;
that
they had boldly said thev
would know nothing among meii
but the crucified and risen Savior
1 had heard in the dedication of
its churches the solmen words : "We
dedicate it to His service, &c; and
agsin 1 have heard them pray :
Preserve this house which we set
apart to thy service from injury
and desecration." Then I thought
of the joy expressed by our sainted
lathers and mothers, as tney garner
ed around its sacred altars and
reioiced in tha blessings which they
brought them. And again my mind
reverted to the word of eternal
Truth, as contained in Matt. 2H12
and 13; Mark 11-15; Luke 1JM5
and 40, and John 2-15 and 10
(Please read the references.) I cons
fess that my mind was in great doubt
as to whether I should remain silent,
rebuke this desecration, or make a
simple statement of my political
preferences. While in this revs
erie the third call came, and I
said to myseli tnere sits a
preacher in the pulpit cheering
this unseemly conduct in God's
house : ves. and there are denons
and private church members even
i I 1 M I V V A A4 Ut WVAhJ V I VU
one who could look across a State
Convention and reaa what a man
thought and I said to myself I
will si'EAK. And under this chain
of circumstances I did speak. But
the words still ring in my ears
'My house shall be called the house
I of
prayer." J. F. Newell.

If the third party ever had a poss
sibility of carrying a single eoutn
ern state, or if its leaders ever
drtamed of securing a large vote in
any of them the rumination of Jas.
B Weaver must have destroyed their
hopes.
Weaver is a political hack who
has been a member of every politic
cal party organized in h;s time and
has been true to none.
He is a wild, visionary individual,
a fluctuating mortal, who is your
best friend today; your bitterest ene
my tomorrow; who praises you to-
dav : damns you tomorrow.
1H IS THE TENSIOX MAN.
Weayer was perhaps the author of
the twelfth plank of the St. Loni3
platform.
Here is a bill he introduced in
two congresses, lie introduced ii
in the fiftieth engross on January
4th, 1SSS. Its number is 1350.
Mr. Weaver introduced the fol
owing bill :
For the relief of the soldiers and
sailors who served iu the army and
navy of the United Statts in the late
war for the suppression of the re
bellion, and to restore to them equal
rights with the holders of govern
ment bonds.
Whereas, The soldiers and sailors
who served in the army and nary of
the United States in '.he late war for
the suppression of the rebellion
were, from the necessity of the case,
compelled by law to receive for their
services a depreciated currency,
greatly inferior in value at the
time to the sold coin of the United
States ; and
Wrhereas, The congress of the
United States has therefore, in the
most solemn manner, affirmed, that
good faith requires that all govern
ment obligations shall be paid in
coin or its equivalent ; and
Whereas, The obligation of the
government to the soldiers and sail
ors who hazarded all, iucluding life,
that this nation might live, is of the
most sacred and binding character;
Therefore,
lie it enacted by the sena e and
house of representatives of the Uni
ted States of America in Congress
assembled, That there shall be paid
to each private soldier, noncom
missioned officer, sailor, teamster, or
musician regularlv mustered into
the service of the United State?
during the late war for the sup
pression of the rebellion, or to b
or their legal representatives in case
of death, a3 soon a3 his or their
claim shall be examined and audit
ed by the second auditor of the treas
ury, the sum found due him or
them, the p.mo.int thereof to be as
certained as follows : The second
auditor shall ascertain the amount
of currency paid said soldier or saiN
or at each date of payment during
his term of service, and shall ascer
tain the gold value of said currency
payment at the lime, by reference
to the quotations of gold, as com
pared with the currency in which
said soldier or sailor was paid, at
the city of New York at that date ;
and said soldier, sailor, or his legal
representatives shall be allowed and
paid the difference in value between
the currency which he received and
the standdrd gold coin of the Uni
ted States in which he should have
been paid.
Section 2. That to enable the
government to meet the payments
required by this act the secretary of
the treasury is hereby authorized to
cause to be issued three hundred
million dollars of United States
notes, or so much thereof a3 shall
be found necessary, of the denomi
nations of one, two, five, ten, twenty,
and fifty dollars ; and said notes,
when so issued, shall be a legal ten.,
der in payment of all dedts, public
and private, and shall be kept in
circulation m manner as now pro
vided by law for other United States
notes.
Section 3. That the sum of three
hundred million dollars, or so much
thereof as shall be necessary to make
the payments required by this act,
is hereby appropriated out of the
money by this act authorised to be
issued.
SOME OF HIS SPEECHES.
In a debate in the house of repre
sentatives on July llth, 18SK, Mr.
Henderson of Iowa quoted some
extracts from Mr. Weaver's old
speeches against the democratic par
ty and the south. Mr. Weaver in.
etead of denying them said they
were true.
The southern man who can desert
the democracy and vote for Weaver
after reading these extracts is not
worthy the name of a southerner.
Here are some of Mr. Weaver's
utterances in speeches in Iowa when
he was not a democrat ;
"I want to congratulate you, fel
low citizens, on the suppression of
purely democratic rebellion, gotten
urn
up by the democrats for the demo
cratic purpose of dissevering this
union and perpetually establishing
human slavery. Now aud forever
t in established as an eternal truth
that the democracy in no place or
state cau ever be trusted with gov
erirnent. As a party it should dia-
band, just as a section of it did at
Appomattox."
Again he smd of the democracy:
1 am astonished beyond meas
ure that a party with a record 60 ut
terlv vile aad wrdched and wicked
should be so lost to all shame and
decency aa to make an appearance
before the people of Iowa."
In another he said :
"Wbatisthe use of further ars
ranging the defunct democracy with
all its hoary crimes at the bar of
public opinion ? We know that its
acts comprise murder, treason,
theft, arson, fraud, perjury and all
crimes possible for an organization
tJ connive at."
Here is another :
"No republican can ever, under
any circumstances, have any part or
lot with the hungry.rebellious, man
hating, woman-selling gang corpora-
ted under the raroe of democracy,
a name so full of stench and poison
that it should be blotted from the
vocabulary of civilized man and
handed over to the barbarism that it
so fitly now and in all the past has
represented."
And another :
"But, then, what could you ex
pect from the poor, blind, diseased,
decrepit, dismal, damned old demo
cratic party ?'
litre u still another :
"There can be no doubt about
the question at all. With greens
backs and national bank notes onr
business needs are well met There
can be no better paper currency
than these. But the assaults of a
party which through its financial
legislation inflicted untold wrongs
and robberies upon the people by
permitting banks without a solid
basis to issue a circulating note.
The fact is, gentlemen, the
democracy neyer has been able to
comprehend the financial question
Between its inherent dishonesty and
apparent sensibility, it makes a pets
ty, but not unusual exhibition of its
corporate consolidated idiocy."
A picturesque specimen, this, for
a party to nominate or any man to
cast lu3 ballot for.
VEKY APPROPRIATE SOW.
"When Philip of Macedon was
dividing and conquering the States
of Greece (for the policy of tyrants
is to divide and conquer) it id said
that Demostheues, in order to stir
up the Atheneans to a defense of
their liberties, used this fable, "The
shepherds fell out with thir dogs
because it took so much to keep
them, and so as a matter of economy
they put them all to death. When
the watch dogs were put death tl e
sheepfolds were left unguarded, so
the wolves rushed in and destroyed
the flocks." Tyrants always want
the old watch dogs of liberty
slaughtered that the people, like in
nocent sheep, may be at their
mercy. When the old watch dogs
that have stood by the fold for
years are beheaded, the sheep may
prepare themselves to catch it."
Nothing could be more appropriate
for the present political fight than
the above. The old watch docs are
being harassed by the new and
economic party , aud if they
succeed (and there is no chance of
it) the wolves will rush in and de
stroy ail good government and give
us a reign of sectionalism and des
potism. 1 he flock will be destroyed.

Some weeks ago it wa3 suggested
that a greot political rally be held
in Charlotte some time in Septem
ber and that Hon. Adlai E. Steven
son, the Democratic nominee for the
Vice Presidency be invited to ad
dress it. The suggestion was acted
upon at once and a letter of invita
tion was dispatched to Mr. Steven
son. Mr. Charles Yv Tillett Friday re
ceived a reply from Mr. Stevenson.
It was written at Bloomingdale, 111.,
on the llth. In his letter Mr. Ste
venson eays it would give him great
pleasure to visit Charlotte, but he i3
not now able to set an exact date for
his visit. He further acknowledge
his indebtedness to the North Caro
lina delegation in the Chicago con
vention. Mr. Stevenson says further that
he will write again at a later date
more definitely. It is quire safe to
say that Mr. Stevenson will be in
Charlotte in September and the citi
zens of that city wilt have the
greatest political rally ever known
in t! e history of the Queen City.

My Dear Sir: Your very kind

the great honor done me by the

TRl'TIiri'L ATTACKS.
There are some editors who have
no conscience that is ever smote by
being guilty of lying. In fact they
can lie unblushingly.
Recently it has been stated every
where in the "reform" papers that
Cleyeland was a force bill man; that
Northeastern Democrats were in fa
vor of the force bill.
Among that kind of papers the
Salisbury Watchman and the Pro
gressive Farmer have recently made
just such utterances. It went so far
that some "reform" fanatics star
ted the news that Democrats hud
introduced in Congress a bill or bills
for a force bill. This thing went
so far that lion. Charles Tracey, of
New York, wan singled out as a man
who had introduced such a bill.
Letters began pouring in on him for
copies of hi3 bill. To stop the infa
mous slander he wrote the following
letter to the editor of the Charlotte
Observer :
House of Representatives U. S, "I
Washington, D. C, July 14, 1892,
Dear Sir: Letters have been
received hereby memlersof Con
gress requesting copies of a force bill
introduced by me. Why I should
be selected as the victim for a malic
ions lie I do not know. In the Fifty
first Congress I ' made a speech
against the force oill and voted
against it There has been no force
bill introduced iu this Congress.
Ihe Democrats of the entire country
are ag-iinst a force bill, aul to try
to deceive people with stories to the
contrary ought to react on the ras
cals attempting thv fraud.
Yours respectfully,

The premium list fur the State
fair of 1882 has been received. I
will, as soon as seen, assert itself to
be one of the most interesting docu
ments ever issued by the State
Agricultural Society. The pmni
umns are more numerous than ever
before and are the most liberal ever
offered; aud there are premiums for
everybody to compete for. We note
particularly a cash premium ot
$200 and a town lot worth G0O to
be given to the county making the
best exhibit at the fair. Fifty dol
lars in gold is the premium offered
to the lady making the best exhibit
of fancy and domestic work. There
are in all about eight hundred
premiums, exclusive of racing purs
es which will aggregate $1,700.
There are some special announce
ments which will interest every
body. The great special attraction
this year will be Pawnee Bill's Wild
West show. This organization car

ponies and bucking bronchos', fifty

Machine for Slirep Shearine.
There is a shearing machine in
use in Australia and New Zealand
by the large llock owners, but al
though this i3 an American inven
tion, it i3 not in use here for this
purpose. But it is used for clipping
horses and also by barbers for cut
ting persons' hair. The machine
works well and easily, and does not
cut the sheep or twice cut the wool,
as often happens with shearing.
