The Passing of the Populists. Charlotte Observer. Since the Alabama election it is more than ever apparent that the populists have seen their best days. The party is without a single strong state organiza tion anywhere. It is a scattered party strong in 6ome localities, but unable to maintain itself as a state organization in any section; and hopelessly weak in national politics. - Populism was not an unnatural out growth of discontent. Men grew weary of uncertainty and delay and hard times, and turned their attention to de lusive theories and wild experiments. The idea struck them that this would be a blessed country if the government had to do everything and the people had to do nothing, and they gave themselves up to a dream of the good time coming when the government would manage everything, employ everybody and lend money in unlimited quantities to all who desired to borrow. , ' But th craze has about run its course. Most of the Populists haye come to the conclusion that then- theories are too fine to be practical. They have seen their neighbors working out of their difficulties and they are settling down to work themselves. Moreover, t'iey have seen the Democratic party going ahead with the determination to redeem its pledge?, tmd it is beginning to dawn upon them that those pledges are more tangible than anything in the third party platform. The Populists are winding up busi ness. The better elements are drifting into the - Democratic party, " and the "others are seen and heard only here and there in spots. . . President Cleveland's Popularity. From the Hartford Times. Mr. Cleveland was never so hugged to the hearts of the masses as he is to day. If he has made mistakes they are not reckoned against him. The South and exteme west forgets, for the while at least, that he forced through fthe repeal of the Sherman act against popular desires in those sections. Whatever dissatisfaction one may have felt at the treatment of the Hawaiian matter is lost , to new. He is the peo ple's President, seeking to serve the public interest, and' the-wiser but less handsome man who ran - his face against the outworks of the mule has expressed in his historic phrase the sen sations of those who sought to destroy the public confidence in him. t It would be well for American politi cians of all dimensions and of political faiths to pay heed to what has happened in this case, and to try to "eaten pn to a little of Mr. Cleveland's pluck. iiuilll Carolina College, ' MT.

The Income Tax. y Atlanta Constitution. Some people are under the impression that the new income tax is retroactive. .This is a mistake. The income tax clause of the tariff bill states that from and after January 1, 1895, until Janu ary 1, .1900, there shall be assessed, levied, collected and paid annually tax of 2 per cent on tne amount oi in come over $4,000, and that this tax shall be assessed by tne commissioner of internal revenue and collected and paid upon the gains, profits and income for the year ending 31st, next preced ing the time of levying . collecting and paying such tax. Ihe law cannot go into effect until Januaryl, 1895, and no income tax will be paid until December 31, 1895. . This is the status of the tax and is no sense- retroacuve. .reopie witn bis incomes will not have to pay the new tax for nearly a year and a half, In that time they will recognize' the justice and .equity of the tax.

Atlanta Constitution. : i vThe senate bill is a conservative bill. but it should be borne in mind that the pedple are also conservative. : We are of the opinion that Demo crats everywhere can afford to endorse the senate bill. , The compromise tariff of 1846 turned out to be a very wise measure. But there were plenty of emotional reformers j in that day who were not satisfied with lit. Thev said the "party had "stulti fied" itself, or words to that effect. Raleigh News and Observer. Major James W. Wilson, Chairman of the State Railroad Commission, re turned from a visit to his home in Burke Tuesday morning. . He was seen in the rooms of the Commission by a reporter of the News and Observer and talked very freely. t "Well Major, what's the news in the west and what is the political outlook?" "I am not in' politics these days," said the Major, "having my hands filled with other business, but I feel, of course, deep interest in the success of our party, and I regret to see some bad blood being engendered by the contest over the eastern Senatorship. For rea sons satisfactory to myself I should have preferred to have seen Senator Ransom returned without opposition. If Senator Ransom had written more and Senator Jarvis less it might have been better, both for them individually and for the party. In justice to Sena tor Jarvis, however, 1 have no hesita tion in saying that of my own know- eage tne charges Drougni against nun for improper conduct in urging the Legislature to make a settlement with the Wilmington and Weldon Railroad Company are incorrect. . i The facts are these : Gov. Jarvis at the solicitation of the officers of the. Wilmington and Weldon- Railroad Company went to Wilmington to confer ith them in regard to a settlement oi taxes due by them to represent tnem before the Legislature. He made them no promise but said "that he wouia come to itaieign ana n after investigation their proposition met with his approval, he would assist them. The case as decided by the Supreme ; Court of the United States subjected the branch lines to taxation and the attorney for the btate, Air. Burton, as well as all other well in formed attorneys admitted that the main line from Halifax to Wilmington could never be subjected to taxation, except by consent of the Railroad Com pany. The charter of that company also gave them full power to fix their rates of freight without any supervision of the Railroad Commission. Ihe hrst proposition of the compromise submit ted by the Railroad company, was that, if the State would collect no back taxes on its branch lines the company would relinquish all claim for exemption on its main line. . This proposition was made to the Governor of the State and friends of the Governor who were pres ent by. invitation. Governor Jarvis emphatically said that he would advise no settlement to be made unless it carried a complete surrender on the part of the railroad company of all exemptions from taxation on both its main and branch lines as well as a sur render of its rate-making power, which regarded by the railroad company e most important of the two. Ihe railroad company declined to surrender, and the conference- was proven up without any prospects of an amicable settlement. Some ten days thereafter the railroad company again appeared before the joint committee of the legis- ature and agreed to surrender all ex emptions, and asked that no back taxes should be collected. Gov. Jarvis appeared before the committee and advised that the main line should be exempt from back taxes, but that the branch limes should pay the amounts assigned against them, which was for two years, and upon which judgment had been rendered by the courts. I, ill the time, was of the opinion, and Gov. Jarvis made no concealment from me or the committee that he was ap pearing before us otherwise than as an attorney. Hon. Geo. Davis appeared before the committee as attorney for the railroad company, also Mr. Hinsdale and Mr. Strange, representing the City of Wilmington. Mr.- Hinsdale asked Governor Jarvis in what capacity he appeared ; to which Governor Jarvis replied, 'I am acting as attorney for the Railroad Company, and will inform you also the amount I am paid if you wish me to do. so.' Mr. iimsaaie repnea tnat it was oi no interest to him as to his1 fees. He merely wished to know in what capacity he appeared. The joint committee dif fered with Governor Jarvis and recom mended the settlement finally agreed upon by the legislature. There was nothing in the whole transaction that should reflect in the 3St degree upon Governor Jarvis in the entire matter he acted as a pa triotic citizen. ' ; "In common with a majority of the citizens of the State, I regret to see matters being published reflecting upon either of our Senators, and it is most unfortunate for the party that this con troversy should be kept up, and it is the universal oppinion, so far as I have heard, that the discussion of the Sena- tonal question should be left to the legislature, , as it always has been, without being brought into the canvass I have spoken thus freely being a friend of both parties, s . 1 1 S 13 VJrM r?s '1 tf .it-: Stl KM fcU? t .and Trade-Marksobtained, and all PaJ- . .uic:,5 conuuciCQ lot MODERATE FEES. v orfi'ce is OPPOSIT2 U.

Washington, d. C. Our Raleigh correspondent, writing in Thursday s paper of the , Alliance said: "Populists, according to what the leaders say, have left it in considerab numbers because they thought it had done its political work in putting the Third party on its feet." It certainly did do this. Honest men were wheedled into it ! under the representation that there was "no politics in it," and before they knew it, they had been de livered, boots and baggage, into a Third party. "lhey (the Alliance leaders) now claim that it will pay attention to agricultural matters." Too late. , Peo ple can't. be caught twice with the same trick. The Populists may stay; in the Alliance arid help keep up an empty pretence,- or they may not. As for the Democrats, they are out and wil stay out. Charlottei Observer. Atlanta Journal. , The State Convention of the Farmers' Alliance held at Dublin last week had a very slim attendance. The proceedings were listless and attracted little attention in the State. - - ' ; The convention furnished conclusive evidence that- the once powerful Georgia Alliance which numbered many thou sand members is in a moribund condi tion. A. few days ago the Alliance ex change was finally closed after a record of the rnost remarkable mismanagement. The fate of the Farmers' Alliance in Georgia is perfectly logical. It is the natural result of the methods by which" the Alliance has been directed and controlled. When it was rganized The Journal took the position that the Alliance could be made beneficial to the farmers . and expressed the hope that it would prove so. Its original aims twere just and proper, it proposed co-operation oi tne farmers for mutual benefit and; protec tion. 'It inculcated the principles of thrift and economy. It aimed to im prove agricultural methods. Had the Alliance been held true to these aims it would i still be flourishing. It would have been stronger now than it was three years ago, and might have become a permanent agency for good.' But as soon as the Alliance got to be, numeri cally strong shrewd politicians and .de signing demagogues .began to use it in furtherance of their own ambition. They forced thernselves to the front as the recognized exponents and leaders of the organization. v ; . One of the cardinal principles of the Alliance was that it should be kept free from political complications, . but the great mass of its members ;were easily pursuaded that in order to make it ef fective the organization must -go into politics, and in it plunged. ; . That was the beginning of the end and The Journal gave warning of the fact. Some of. the more thoughtful farmers saw the danger and . withdrew from the Alliance when it was prostitu ted to false aims. The Journal exposed the schemes' of the demagogues who were using the un suspecting farmers for their own benefit while the real objects of the order were, neglected and forgotten. This good ser vice provoked the denunications of those whose selfish, plots 'The Journal laid bare- and the majority of their followers ap plauded their attacks. The Journal was formerly boycotted at the big Alli ance convention held in Atlanta in 1891, but it continued to warn the members of the order thai they were being used by men who care only for their votes and that the Alliance would be wrecked if this policy were permitted to prevail. We believe most of those farmers who three years ago joined in the censure 'of The Journal now realize that it - gave them sound and kindly :counsel. sAl most immediately -after the Alliance was converted into af political machine it began to be torn by factions. There were not enough offices to go around. The Alliance could? not elect all its politicians and those who left out be came breeders of the strife. Almost every convention of the order, local or general, was the scene of turmoil and angry discussion, The Alliance Ex change instead of proving a profitable business enterprise failed miserably and lost many thousands of dollars which had been subscribed to its stock by farm ere in all parts of the State. . The organization went to pieces rapid ly and is now practically dead. As we said before, it died a natural death. It is easy to trace the origin and course of the fatal disease and we have - given & fair diagnosis of the case. , . THE FARMEB'3 PLACE. ... American Farmer, ' r The farmer's place in progress is a very important one, and it is interesting to notice what a change has come about in ihe place he occupies since the be ginning of the Christian era. -Always ihe man upon whom the world must depend largely for food supplies he at first occupied the lowest place in society, was in fact a bondsman and a fixture upon the estate when he was born. His life, even, was in the hands of his master, he had no rights that any other class was bound to respect Toil ing, early and late with the rudest of tools and by the most primitive methods, he was the victim of everyone, and had need to be thankful if, at the end of the year, his harvests were not appropriated ty the lord of the estate, and he left to get along as best he could. I 1 , Gradually, and after long years came better things for the tiller of the soil. Civilization spread its light in greatei volume and- gentler methods prevailed among nations and individuals. War, instead of "being looked upon as-the greatest profession among men, , and theonly one which led to honor gave place to scholarship, and from, a state of densest ignorance society began "to educate itself and to understand that the victories of ipeace were greater than those of war. The position of : the farmer- improved with "lhi8 improve ment, and at the timeof the discovery of America the tiller of the soil was looked upon as really a respectable sort of a person. Then began a new era for the farmepr. With the settlement of this country, those who tilled the soil became the weaUhy ones of the nation, and their prosperity reflected honor on their pro fession, and to be a farmer was to be long to the highest profession in the land. All through the history of this country the farmer has held an honor able position,, and in these latter days, despite the wails of the calamitists, there is no class in this country that leads the farmer in the march of pro gress. To him all men must look for their daily food supply, arid for him in yentors evolve machines toeow, culti vate arid reap. For his advantage and convenience lines of railways are built to the remotest corners of the country. The farmers of the country compose about 4o per cent, of the population, and if it were not for their necessities, there would be no commerce worth speaking of. It is all well enough to say that the farmer and the business are interdependent on each other, but really the farmer was here first, and- if necessary is prepared to stay here a long time after any other class disap pears. Farming is the natural occupa tipn of man, and any one who seeks .toej wa8 inBerted. Whatever The French Antl-Anarchy Law. ; " The French government proposes to proceed against anarchists with great severity. The bill which passed both houses of the'French assembly last week is very searchingand stringent. It con strues the term "anarchist propaganda" to mean either the advocacy or the ap probation after the fact of murder, pil lage, arson or theft, whether uttered in public or in private. ' Under this law an expression in favor of anarchy or in ap probation of the crimes mentioned, even when sent in a letter through the mails, would subject the writer to imprison ment for from three months or two years and to a fine: of 1,000 to 2,000 frarics. Trial by jury is abolished for offenses under the anti-anarchist law, and all persons convicted under it are to serve their sentenses in solitary confine ment. A person condemned under this law to a term of imprisonment exceed ing one year, may, at the discretion of the judge, be sent to a penal colony for life. The law also forbids newspapers to publish full reports of the trials of an archists, and it is argued that by thus lessening the opportunities for notoriety one of the most usual incentives of an archists will be removed. At the State Alliance in Greensboro the old officers were re-elected, as fol lows: J. M. Mewborne, president; W. S. Barnes, secretary and treasurer; W. II. Worth, business agent; W. A. Gra ham, trustee of business fund. India WU1 Not Re-open its Mints. : London, August 16. In the House of Commons, Henry Fowler, Secretary for India, said that the Indian govern ment had no intention of re-opening the mints to the free coinage of silver. The experiment of closing the mints would be well tried before there would be any thought of abandoning it. So far there has been no reason for alarm. The great difficulty was the" depression, of silver, and sooner or later this would force India to go over to the gold stan dard. - - -l w - ; ' Harry's Arlthemetic.

KITCHEN AND THE POLDXISTS. News and Observer. - Capt. W. II. Kitchen durine a re cent visit to Goldsboro talked very plain ly about matters Populistic. - - ; Ihe Captain was. naturally indignant at the condemnation of the General As sembly of 1893, of which he was a mem ber, and gave some of the inside history of the working of the Populist platform. He stated that he was shown a draft of platform by Butler in the , presence of blanner and saw that it denounced the Legislature of 1891 and 1893; that: he told Butler and Skinner that wouldmev er do because they, Butler and Skinner were members of the Legislature' of 891; and hei Kitchen, was a member of the Legislature of 1893, and that as they would be the principal speakers of tne Jfopuusts, it would be awkward in the extreme for them to go about the State denouncing their own work. He further stated that the validity of his objection was recognizd and that Butler drew bis pencil through the offensive paragraph, and he, Kitchin," assuming that the said paragraphs were eliminated paid no further attention to the matter until after "the platform was adopted when he learned that Messrs. Butler and Skinner's Legislature of 1891 got off scot free while his Legislature of 1893 was roundly denounced. He was naturally indignant and announced that he should on all occasions defend theLegislature of lbyJ from the uniust aspersions cast upon it by the Third party platform. Ihe - Captain was -also quite severe upbn-8eme of the rion-partisana nomi nated for the Supreme Court. He said that everydody down east knew that J udge Faircloth was unfit to fill the place now filled by Judge Shepherd, and that during a recent trip in the west he had learned that Furches was even less fit for the Supreme Court -Bench than was Judge Faircloth. .The Captain here used strong language in reference to the ability and learning of these distin guished non-partisans, ; asserting that Furches was, if "possible, even less fit than Judge Faircloth. It was painful to hear these patriotic non-partisan8-1868-Republicans, who have for nearly- thirty years bolstered up and defended Republican misrule and hated Democrats with most relig ious hatred, but who have now beocme mild and gentle sucklens of non-parti sanship, thus exposed by a "member of the illustrious Populist convention which put them in nomination, u, the times, how sadly out of joint they are ! Capt. Kitchen also claims the credit of having forced the platform-makers to strike out the draft of the platform a plank declaring for the repeal of the county government system, threatening to right a battle royal on the flow of the convention if that worn-out Republican we Highest f all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S, Gov't Report may think of Capt. Kitchin' a politics. his candor is refreshing and Gan but be gratifying to Messrs. Butler, Skinner, Grant and other patriotic and unselfish citizens who are at work night and day, and with no prospect of success, to do the impossible thing of deceiving the people of North . Carolina into giving them the control of our courts, legisla ture and State government. Bather Long on Snakes. Speaking of snakes, did you ever see one swallow a lire nsnr : xne speaker was one of a party of gentle men who had just finished a bottle o wine. As none of themTiad ever seen the performance referred to he pro ceeded to describe it in graphic style. When he got through Judge S. said: When I lived in Texas we used to depend mainly on snakes for eggs." "What," said an elderly gentleman who was a little hard of hearing,- "did you eat snake eggs ?" "Not by a jugful, " said the Judge, "but we found hens' , eggs in the snakes. You see, snakes are very fond of eggs, and down there they make a business of hunting : for eggs. They would go from one nest to another, swaUowing egg after egg, until they could hold no more, and then they were easily captured. As they swallow ed the egg whole it would be a good while before the contents would be hurt, and if the snake was killed before the sriell was digested, the eggs would be all right. - I once took 193 hen's eggs from one snalEe. As I knew the snake had stolen the eggs, I had no compunction about stealing from him "Did vou eat them all?"" asked the elderly gentleman. ' "Oh, no," was the reply. ' "I only ate two or three dozen and traded the rest off for tobacco." "Were the eggs m a pile when you cut the snake open ?" asked the elderly gentleman, as if in search of truth. "No," replied the Judge, "they were lying in a row lengthways in the snake's stomach. "But," suggested the elderly gentle man, "one hundred and ninety-three eggs, lying . in a row lengthways would make a pretty long line "Well." replied the Judge, "this was rather a long snake.

It looks like Tom Settle's - luck has changed. Rufus Amis, of Granville, charges that the convention that nomi nated Settle was packed. Amis will be an independent Republican candidate on a free silver platform. Settle's rec ord is not acceptable to the free silver Kepublicans, and Amis is going to make the most of it. The Democrats are, not the only people who are having trouble uus.year. The Democratic party has a platform which covers the currency and all other great national questions. On the ques tion of the coinage of silver the Demo cratic platform is very different from the Populist platform. .

Converse County (Wyo.) Eeview. A man was one day making a trip on the "flyer" of a Wyoming railroad. Passage on these trains is never taken except for journeys of considerable length; walking is" as easy and much safer for short distances. On this occa sion the movement was even more de liberate than usual, and the passenger called the conductor to his seat and said: "Isn't this motion "pretty slow ? "Well, we ain't flying, I admit?" "May I ask what is the trouble, then V "Certainly. We found a fine two- year-old steer stuck in a trestle back here before we got on and stopped and helped it out. You know, the rules of the road are. in such cases, the animal belongs to the company. "But I don't see why that should make you run so slow." "Why, we re taking that steer to headquarters; got it tied behind." and it ain't used to leadin' and don't walk up very well. I'm doin' all I can got the brakeman proddin' it up with an um brel' and am ear of corn tied to the end of the bellrope. If you think I'm go ing to start up and go howlin' along, and yank the horns off as good a steer as there" is in this State, why, you're mistaken, that s all." Marvelous Results.

Re&ftta3 The Nervous of Life and Wonderful Discover! No mystery has ever compared witiAfeflt f human life. It has been the leading subject of professional research and study iu all ages. But notwithstanding this fact it is not gener ally &uu w u that the seat of life is loca ted in the up per part of the spinal cord, near the base of the bra In, and so sensi tive is this portion of tho nervous sys tem that e ven tho prick, of a needlo will cause Instant, death. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that all theorgansof the body are unaer tne con trol of the nerve centers, loeai ed in or near the basapf the brain, and that when these are deranged the organs which they BUPpiy, with nerve iluid are also deranged. When it is re membered that a serious injury xo inespiiiai cord will cause paralysis of the body below That cats will occasionally hunt for butterflies has been affirmed by a British periodical, and recently observed by Dr. Jentick, of Holland. They have also been seen jumping after catching and eating grasshoppers apparently with, a relish. the injured points because the nerve force is prevented by the injury from reaching the paralyzed portion, it will be understood how the derangement of the nerve centers- wm cause the derangement of the various organ which they supply with nerve force. . Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to the imperfect action of the nerve centers at the base of the brain, not from a derange ment primarily originating in the organ it self. The great mistake of physicians in treating these diseases is that they treat the organ rather than the nerve centers Which, are the cause of the trouble. . Dr. Franklin Miles, the celebrated spe cialist, has profoundly studied this subject f o over 20 years, and has made many important discoveries In connection with it, chief among them being the facts contained in the above statement, and that the ordinary methods of treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi ness, dullness, confusion, pressure, blues, mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, Bfc, Vitus dance, etc., are nervous diseases na matter how caused. The wonderful success of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine is due to the fact that it is based on the foregoing principle.
