TUE WORST IN IIS HISTORY.
In reading the proofs of Wednes
daj's paper, we were forcibly struck
with the unusual dumber of ac
cidents and deaths. Indeed it is the
fullest issue of sadness and
sorrow The Standard has eyer
printed. Let us hope that the time
' may never again ccme when so many
- homes are saddened.
i ...
But there is a lesson in all this for
the lmag -a lesson of the most
forcible kind. We are warned that
' we are not alwajs for this world;
that in the midst of life we are in
death; that it is not the sick and the
old alone that go through the valley
of the shadow of death. In the
chronicle of deaths and accidents on
Wednesday, we saw the lad, the
youtb, middle aged and the aged
they lay victims of the destroyer's
band.
It is a touching lesson. Not to
the immediate families God pity
them in their sorrows, losses and
their heart aches but it is to us
all
Why then ail the bitterness and
clashing of this life ? Why do men
do injustices to others? Why do
they clashjinakewar on and attempt
injury to each other? Whyecho

ANSWERS AJriTUEK ASKS.
The public can put down two
papers as absolutely certain to sup
port the Democratic nominee for
President in 1896.
The Charlotte Observer puts the
question to the Raleigh News and
Observer : '
"Will the Raleigh News and Ob
server support the Democratic Na
tional ticket in 1896 ?"
Here is the Raleigh paper's flit
footed answer :
"Of course.
Is it the purpose of the editor of
the Charlotte Observer to rob a hen
roost next Saturday night ?
"Come to taw."
This inquiry is as pertinent as the
inquiry addressed, as above, to the
News and Observer."
IS IS ALL FOOLISH.
A SENSIBLE NEGRO.
In a recent address to an African
Methodist, conference, Rev. Dr.
Coffin, k prominent negro preaoher
?f Philadelphia, said ;
"We do' not ask for social rights.
There ia no such thing. In every
-walk of life there are grades of so
ciety. I ask no man to invite me to
his parlor, but I do ask him to in
cite me to his workshop. I do not
Task for social rights. I ask for a
job of work. Every colored man
should have three things. They are
. & Bible, a spelling book, and a bank
book. Without these we are weak
v indeed. We simply ask an equal
- chance with the foreigner. We ask
that the white people put ns on the
vspeihng. book Ride."
Xhis is an excellent statement of
ihe jaat demand of the negro. Dr.
Coffin like all the other sensible
leaders of his race, repudiates the
idea that the negro should attempt
to force himself into social equality
inth the whites.
Tire better and sensible element
v don't seek social equality. There
are several instances where some
'nhaje sought it here in the South,
l)ut t hey were influenced to do so by
pusillanimous white cusses from the
North, It's the scum in -both races
that seek this social equality or en
dorse these seeking it, by either race.

The question of a third term for
Cleveland disturbs only' a few
Democrats. It was started by Rei
pulicans and is the outcome of
I Populistic cussing and abuse.
The Sr. Louis Republic.speaks on
the third term matter in a way that
presents our notions better , than
we can :
Senator Cockrell heard a Cabinet
ofheer saj that he did not see how
the party could "do better than run
the old man again."
Senator Gray thinks that Cleve
land is the logical nominee for
1896.
Here are two men of that kind
more than we suppose the United
States contained. There is not a
possibility that the Democratic Conb
vention will nominate Mr. Cleve
land, or that the American people
woul elect him if nominated.
The sentiment against a third
term is unchangeable; and it may be
added that the sentiment against
fourth nominations is enough to
dispose of this case.
We are sure of the universal
American understanding on this
point that we firmly believe the
Cabinet officer and Senator Gray
were doing two things not uncoms
mon in politics: Either paying
compliments to the President at no
cost to themselves and with no dis
paragement to anybody else; or put
ting themselves where they can be
excused from selecting presidential
booms until they get good and
ready. They don't mean their third
term talk.
Mr. Cleveland cannot have been
dipped into what Charles Lamb
called the twilight of dubiety. He
is serymg for the last time.and
knows it.
Tue next nominee would be a
westeren man if. this were Cleve
land's first term.

was inevitable in a short time. "To

Dr. Quimby's instant answer, which
was much applauded.
An 80 -year old woman in Indiana,
who -has been married for fifty
years, his just discovered that Bhe
must have a divorce. Whether her
husband objected to her wearing
bloomers when she took a spin on
the bicycle, or whether he was too
frisky, is not stated.
There is a charm in names as well
as a peculiarity. Citizens of Poland
are called Poles but citizpns of Hol

The fact that a big, unwieldy
freak like Niagara Falls has been
put into harness for co umercial pur
poses stimulates the hope that some
means may yet be found of making
the United States senate useful.

the many compliments paicLit for
the full and accurate account of the
horrible explosion on Wednesday.
Many coi.flicting reports were going
until there was'no chance to pub
lish anything; authentic. To giye
our readers au accurate report The
Standard sent a reporter out its
readers deserve its very best service.
Just think of it 1 An editor with
a wealthy and lovely wife, who in
addition wins a suit-that fetches in
$750,000 more. It makes our head
dizzy. I There is jet another town
ship.to hear from, we are told. The
Standard congratulates - Mr. W F
Burbank, formerly editor of the
.Winston.Sentinel.
In another column, we publish a
letter said to have been written by
Judge Russell. The Wilmington
Dispatch publishes it. We can not
think of a people so loit as to make
it possible for such man a as Russell
to be governor of North Carolira.

C. H. King, Water Valley, Miss., cured by
Ayer's Sarsapai'illa
"For fire years, I suffered untold misery
from muscular rheumatism. I tried every
known remedy, consulted the best physi
cians, visited Hot Springs, Ark., three times,
spending $1000 there, besides doctors' bills;
but could obtain only temporary relief. My
flesh was wasted away so 4hat I weighed
only ninety-three pounds ; my left arm and
leg were drawn out of shape, the muscles
oemg twisted up in knots.' I was iroabie to
dress myself, except with assistance, ard
could only hobble about by using a cane. L
had no appetite, and was assured, by the
doctors, that I could not live. The pains; at
times, were so awful, that I could procure
relief only by means of hypodermic injec
tions of morphine. I had my limbs bandaged
in clay, in sulphur, in poultices; but thesa
gare only temporary relief. After trying
everything, and suffering the most awful
tortures, I began to take Ayer's SarsapariUa.
Inside of two months, I was able to walk
without a cane. In three months, my limbs
iegan to strepgthen, and in the course of a
year, I was cured. My weight has increased
to 165 pounds, and I am now able to do my
fun day's work as a railroad blacksmith."
