A man who is sinjply posted on cur- rent events, to say nothing of moral traming and religious influences, Who deliberately makes up his miud to do a wrong thing is about as much fool as he is knave. . While all natures declares that there.is a Gtod everjr wrecked life and prison wall and court'of justice and hangman's rope tefl us iti louder tODes thau God has spoken it that it does not pay to do wrong. ' Poor Saunders, the alleged Southern Express company robber, . with a con science that made him Surrender and somebody elsedisgorge thirty-seven hun dred dollars of the money; with wrecked life and ruined hopes, could ;pfeach a sermon today to the young men of America that would cause them to halt and think and reform while the Sermons of thousands of preachers would fall dead upon their ears. -? But ' what a mighty sermon is preached every morn ing in our dailv naners! This ime tron a-mnrr. ' ! J. I here; & murdered man thre; a wrecked home vonder and a blasted character here, et cetera. The man who doea not believe that the way of the transgressor is hard doea not believe anything. He has doubted until he now doubts whether he doubts pi not. The Booner young men learn the lesson thoroughly that it ia not only right to do rieht and rofjg to do wrong but that they can Lot afford to do wrong and that theycannot afford not to do right, the better it will be for them, and then they have learned the lesson that forma the very basis' of all usefulness here and all hopes of good ereafter. "By the sweat ofc thy brow Bhalt thou earn tny bread. : borne men eav. is God 8 curse pronounced upon men?

Fidelity to the task undertaken! Desirous first to do well the thin? you are doing, and making all otner considerations secon dary, is the very ground work of patience and when a man loses patience and geta in a hurry to be rich, then cornea the dangerous period. Human weakness coupled with temptation brings about the condition of things which would wreck the world, l had rather follow a plow for a dollar week than to follow Leiter, tneUuicago wheat dealer, at a million dollars a year. A man can plow his way to manhood but he can only peculate himself to helL All's well that ends well, gentlemen; and the end is corning. Some men'a sins go before them to judgement: others follow on. This ia true every day and everywhere. I have seen it in the courthouse in my own county, where men's bids went before them to judg ment eina that wrecked their charac ter, destroyed the confidence of the peo ple of the community in their integrity and convicted them at the bar of justice in the courthouse.,' Their Bins went be fore them and condemned them before the day-of . judgment. - I have known others "whose eina followed them and overtook them at the" courthouse, when one witness after .another brought up a chain of evidence that came at last with its accumulated forces and crushed them under the wheels of justice. With the big doga of thia country who are specu lating and carousing and gambling, their sins are following after them They don't eeem ; to be ahead . like the ocuBta of Egypt eating up the country before they come on; but the h'ounda of hell are after tbem on their heels, lhey will overtake them.

Irish Kuthnlaeim. ; One of the best things that haa been JLold lately to illustrate the ready wit of tbe Irish was related in a short address the other1 day by Hira Singh-Pari, of Punjab, India, who is making a tour in this country preparatory to resuming bis labors in the mission field in India, says The Washington Post. The occa sion was a meeting of a literary club, and tne topic under discussion was patriotism, f wen, patriotism bad been running riot around there for some time. Two or three soul-inspiring speeches had been made on "the flag," "Old Glory" and the stars and atripea. An old sol dier arose, and in a measure threw cold water on the desire of some of the younger recuita to exterminate the Spanish nation. Hia remarks were not received with mark approval., Mr. Puri waa then called on for a speech. He was delighted to see such an overflowing of patriotic . sentiment, and laid that it reminded him of an Irish celebration that he had once attended. The speaker of the occasion waa an Irishman; who waa making one of the speeches that only Irishmen can make when on the subject of their oppression by England The speaker finished hia address, and was so worked up tfaat he burst forth with "Hurrah for Ireland I" A man in the rear, who had been rather digusted with the whole proceed ing, answered his outburst with: "Oh, d n Ireland; hurrah for h j ." The irishman was straggered for a moment, but recovered himself, and howled back: "I can't help admiring you, my friend. .Let every man holler for hia own country.

The only mark of certainty about the youthful countenance waa the sure, sign that some of his ancestors had come from old Ireland. The little fellow walked hastily into the office of the warrant clerk of Recorder Finnegan a court. He did hot notice the four persons standing in line waiting to get affidavits made out against some bothersome rela tive, but the youth pushed through the crowd and engaged tbe attention of the clerk with this odd demand.

He could not mi agine why the wife would not be only too willing to swear out a warrant. "My ma and pa, they got in tne ngnt in the kitchen. That ia how it happen ed.

V JUST CONCORD, N. C , vTHTJRSD AY, MAY 5, 1898. alelsh Post- , The Poet is a Democratic paper." ', It 18 Democratic without Qualification or limitation. It preaches Democratic doc trine and defends Democratic policies. It insists on the maintenance of Demo cratic integrity, and relies, upon Demo cratic conscience to sustain. Democratic aspirations and carry into effect Demo cratic purposes. It is not necessary for The Post to say all this, having said as much in every issue, more or less, since the es- tabliahmentof the paper. But a "fre quent recurrence to first principles" is enjoined upon us by the State Consti tution, and in doing 60 by way of intro duction to comments upon the letter of Hon. W.J. Bryan's addressed to Mr. Josephus Daniels, National Committee man for this State, which was published yesterday in The Post, should not sub ject us to adverse criticism. , ' Mr. Bryan, in his letter published yes terday , advises the Democratic party of this State to ."co-operate" with Mr. BuW ler and his Populist party in the coming campaign- As Mr. Bryan places great importance upon thia co-operation, it is to be regretted that he did not state ex plicity or indicate more directly, the baai8 Upon which it should be done, with whom or through . whom it should be negotiated, and how far the Democratic party should play the "chanty and li1 erality" act towards tbe Populists, and vice versa; or . whether the Butlerites should be expected to do any "charity" work at all, but rather be allowed the greatest "liberality in the absorption of the offices. Tbe distinguished gentle man naa left us all at sea by these un4 fortunate omissions. . There are just two solemn, unavoid able facts which come in direct conflict with Mr. Bryan'8 good intentions as displayed in his letter. - j He i8 woefully ignorant of condition? existing ia party affairs and composi tion in this State; and is woefully; egregiously mistaken in the asumption that the opponents of fusion with Ma rion iiutier which he recommends are gold bugs." We do not know that he is to be com. plained of tor either error. He has si in ply been misled by designing men, some of whom at least have more interest, or think they have, in a Federal admin istration than in the administration of, 8tate affairs. The expectation of Fedr eral appointments, and disappointments therein, have contributed more co Dem- ocratic disorganization in this State thaq any other one thing. But while Mr. Bryan may be pardoned for hia mis taken advice, the advice ltselt ia none the lees obnoxious. Mr. Butler and his associates with whom we are asked to co-operate are responsible for the legislatures of 1895 and 1897, and the disgraceful, demoral rzing acta of both. They - are directly i . .1 - T '. 11 J - . H responsible iorine i&usseii auminisira. tion, ita ignorance, its scandals, it e travagance, ita reckless disregard of toe rights of the people in property or other wise, its shameless misuse and abuse of power. And all these things Butler & Co. still approve. They are responsible for the legislature which has given towns and counties ignorant government, with vicious negroes and more vicious whites filling important positions- Mr. But ler and his.special orgaus and henchmen who are now held up to lite "virtuous element" of that party have declared time and again that the Democrats shall not, under any circumstances again obtain control of the State government if they can help it. They will not fuse ou any basis that will allow the Demo crats to obtain control of affaire, arid thus reinstate the decent as well as in telligent and honeBt government' which prevailed for twenty years during Uemo cratic rule. Mr. Butler and hia co-op erating associates ' are willing only to fuse on a basis which will return Butler to the Senate, and five Populists to Coin gre88, leaving the State and county gov ernments in as bad condition as now. with the same crowd who have brought on all the present woes at least the "balance of power to unite with any one on the scheme mat promises me the greatest amount of plunder. Mr. Bryan evidently doea not understiibd thia condition of affairs, or . he would not give such advice aa hia letter coin evs. I We are satisfied that Mr. Bryan has been made to believe that the opponents of fusion are gold bugs; and those who are not gold bugs are amenable to the corrupt or other influences of the' .Re publicans and opponents of the Demo cratic party. This ia simply the gross est slander, in either case, deliberately and willfullv palmed off on Mr. Bryan and he has been made the innocent iu strument bv which the cause which he has so greatly at heart shall be assoeiat - . . . 1 ed with base purposes founded on alteo lutely false premises. If Mr. Brjfan knew the real condition of affairs, and knew those who compose the Derho cratic party in this State, he would ntjver have writteu that letter, nor would he have anvthiug to do with Butler or Bat lerism. We csn tell him, with ail rc spect, an overwhelming minority of the Democratic party iu thisState will nojtbe delivered upon any such bargain And we will add, for his information, a de cideil majority of Mr, Butler's own par ty cannot be delivered by him upon any bargain he could make with tbe'Dufuo- crata. The whole truth migut as wen be told as . we go along. j; For the Democrats to "co operate with Butler simply mean? to con lone all that Butlerism. including its "twin cherry" which fulminates in the execu tive office, Ruesellism, has done topine great hurt as well aa hum ila tion of j! the people.

Special to News and Observer. DrraHAM, N. Ci April 27. In ''the ! hapel out at Trinity College yesterday . morning Dr. Johp C. Kilgo made a1 most impressive talk to the young gen-, tiemen of that institution. It is so : freighted with trood sense and rjatriotic ' sentiment aa to make it good reading for all. North Carolinians, and certainly ho other medium would place it in the hands of as many of the true sons of the .North State aa the News and Ob server. It was an impromptu bilk. came from the heart of Trinity's big hearted and. patriotic president and Vent direct to the hearts of one hun dred and fifty of as brave and true young men as ever passed North Caro- ma soil. I am indebted to Mr. D. W. Newsorri for this excellent report. Dr; Kilgo said: Congress passed yesterday a decla ration of war. It will be something for you i to remember, that during your college days the United States went to jwar with Spain. It will be something for you to remember the causes which led to this war. It has been one of the strangest orderings of history that the critical questions of human historv have been settled largely on the battle held. It is the peculiarity of human nature to think iteelf right even when it is wrong, and to hold most , tena ci6usly to its opinions and these have been broken or maintained at the ex pense of life. And so a question arises between Ajii erica and Spain. Congress cannot settle it, diplomatic relations cannot settle it, and now it must "be settled with the sword. . This is cer tainly no time for frivolous thought, no time for unpatriotic ; feelings. Thou sands' of lives may go down, it may be settled without the loss of many lives. No man can prophesy the issue. It is certainly very trying to see a number of young men with fresh faces, full of hope, buckling on a sword, shoulder ing a gun, and mounting a car with tears on their cheeks, anxious hearts standing by to see these men' move off to the field of slaughter. I confess that I had peculiar feel ings the other .day when I met two trains of American. soldiers moving on to the field of battle. Never before did experience such strange feelings. "What is the duty of the college stu dent in an hour like this? What can you, as a 6tudent, do? Be faithful to your country, young men. We hear a great deal about patriotism and the love of one's country. There are times when your country does not need your patriotism. At such times we ar6 most likely to be boastful. In an hour like this wliat should you do ? You can give to your country your moral support, your prayers, your taxes. You can serve it at home and let it know, and let those know who de fend her honor and maintain her na tional integrity, that down to the last American man there is a feeling of high regard for the purposes and plans of this government. "I do not know that any of you wish to volunteer. More than thirty years ago there came a crisis like this in this institution. Young men like you then rose up, walked out trom innity col legeshouldered their guns, and never came home again. Trinity College has its brave young students scattered over the battle fields of this Southland. would not advise you to join the arm v, would not put a straw in your way if you felt called to it. That is a question that must be left with you, as with all men. But I venture the assertion that there is no true born American any where between the Pacific and the At lantic, between the great lakes and the Gulf who would stand by and see his country defamed or injustice done her, and never lift his hand tor her defence They may not need you and me to fight, they need us m other places. Fill your place, young man1, and if they need you and me ere long,' be men and respond. There seems to have come the time in the world's history and pro gress when a nation like Spain, from every finger of which drops blood, and that of innocent men and women, with a history of murder and outrage and robbery, that God should write Ichabod on Gibralter, and Spain must go down And I wish to emphasize to you when ever you lead your country along the lines of crime and wickedness which Spain haa traveled, you may expect to rn some day upon the same handwrit ing, and America will gb down "God never gives a nation a perpet ual lease on life, onlv as it stands by God and the right. The perpetuity of a nation dependj upon the righteous ness of the people, and vou must main tain your government in .righteousness I do not believe there has been a battle field upon which God did- not go, and in which the providence of God did not settle some questions of moral and re Ilsnous truth. And there are some in this. , It may be the beginning of im mense issues, lietore it is over every civilized nation on the globe may be plunged into war. It may be settled m tfwo weeks. But this I venture, when ever an American fleet thinks the time has come to open ita guns on Morro 0astle that it will be done by the true courage of American men, and that victory will , come to them, or else death will mfeet them. 1 "God calls Amerioato-day to right tenturies of wrong, and to revenge the blood of innocent men and women. Let America obey her God, and then humble herself as an instrument in His awful hands." Once a man boarded the Railroad of life: fe' , , .

"If We Cannot Win Without Such Dishonor able Methods Let Uef.eat Come. Hon. A. M. Waddell, of Wilmington haa written the following letter to chair man James K.. Jones, of the Derno- cratic National Committee. Wilmington, N. C, April 20th, 1898, Hon. Jas. K. Jones, Washington, D. d Dear Sir: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your letter - of the 18th inst., enclosing copy of your address as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and have carefully read what you say in regard to the pol icy which ought to be pursued in the campaign of 1900, and your appeal to me to go to the State Convention and and work for this policy. ' j -t ! You say that you "understand per fectly the difficulties by which yotj (we) are surrounded in North Carolina,?' etc. rerun 1 me 10 say inai 1 am sure you do not understand the real situation, or the plainness of the path of duty and seff-respect which Iiea before Democrata here ; for, if you did. I am aurel vou would not ask or expect them to abcede to the demands which will certainly be made upon them by Mr. Butle and his party as conditions of J co-operation." 1 am, and haye always been, a bimetahst. I endorse the Chicago platform. I would rejoice to see Mr. Bryan elected President, but I am not willing to see my party enter the open market and bid against the Republican party for Mr, Butler and his followers, at the upset price of voting for him or his allieb for the most important offices affecting the welfare of the State. The fight here is one between barbarism and civilization between white men and negroes manipulated by unprincipled demagogues. Mr. Butler and his mends put the latter in power and they have degraded and dishonored the State, If . he wants to -undo his foul work beca'ase it was foul, it is very easy to do so; if he wants to undo it, only on condition that he and his followers shall continue to hold office, I will never agree to accept such condition, because it would be condoning a great crime, and would jiff ord hd substantial relief to the people. I will be no party to any such infamous transaction. I would sooner make open war upon such scoundrels than to yield to their demands. If we can not win without such dishonorable methods let defeat come. We have stood it heretofore, and can stand it again better than win by such means. I know-this is not "practical politics." but I haven't much respect for practical politics at best, and none at all for this particular Bptcies of It. However, I am out of politics of any kind, aud my opinions are of little con sequence to anyone. I do not expect to be a delegate to the State. Convention. I shall certainly not ask to be; but if I am, while I will do anything to induce honest white men to act together to rescue North Carolina from the degrada tion with which she ia afflicted, I shall never agree to accomplish even that high purpose by offering a higher price to the demagogues who betrayed her to return to their duty, than that offered by their present allies to remain with them. Local self-government bywhite men i3 infinitely more important to us than the Bilver question, and if we cannot get it peaceably without trading with Messrs. Butler & Co., we will get it by force at their expense, "and don't you forget it." I have plainly given you my honest conviction. You re truly, (Signed) A. M. Waddell. War Notei from BlUvlIle. Major Jones h is been missing ever since war seemel inevitable-! In case of hostilities he v ill occupy a high posi tion top story, close to the shingles. There is only one trouble about the Billville naval mlliitia it can't swim and salt water makes it seasick. We have been! drilling up and filling up night and day, and the government has given us $10 each, or thirty days. We will not patronize any seaside re sorts this year. We expect to spend the time shingling a stormpit at hpme. We are still selling mules to the gov ernment. Their .heels will be used as a torpedo power in our war i with Spain. , 1 We cant all be generals in the war, so we are willing xo stay at nome anu just knock around generally. When you have A cick horse you do not hitch him up to a Bulky and tr.ks iira to the re track for a little, healthful p&iu. You doc tor liim. You cannot work or recreate a man into good health any more than you can a horse. Bicycling wlll make healthy men more healthy; it will make unhealthy men more.; unhealthy. When a man has been living yi too big a hurry, when he has worked himself out, when he has got sa that he does not sleep oreat, or rest. and the whole world looks gloomy to him, it is time for him to take medicine. Then, when he is braced up a bit, it is time enough for him to take to the bicycle. When a man's nervesr-bave an edge on them, so that the least little disappoint ment rasps on his temper like a file, when his stomach ana liver ana nerves are -ae-ranged, and he is continually gloomy and melancholy, he should take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It makes a man as hungry as a fisherman and sees to it that all the vital elements of the food are absorbed into the blood. It braces up the liver and. puts it to work in the right way. It drives all bilious impurities from the system. It fills flesh, nerves, brain cells, sinews and bones with the life-giving ele ments of rich, red, pure blood. It makes a man healthy and then a bicycle will make him strong. Medicine dealers sell it, and have nothing " just as good." -' Through your skillful treatment I am once more a well man," writes I. N. Arnold, Esq., of Gandy, Logan Co., Neb. " I suffered for years with Constipation and torpidity of the liver, kritation of the prostate and inflammation of Ihe bladder.

A man or woman who negl'edts constipation suffers from slow poisoning. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. ; One little "Pellet" is a gentle laxa tive, and two a mild cathartic. All medicine dealers sell them. No other pills are "just as good."
