C00J MANN EHS.
(iood manners are more servicea
ble than a passport, than a bank
account, or a lineage. They make
friends for us; they are more po
tent than eloquence and gemu
without them. They undoubtedly
spring from a kind heart, and are
the dictates of good humor. They
are not something to be learned
from fashion news and books of et
iquette; they are not imported or
borrowed. The good mannered
person does not tell us our failings,
does not lecture us; he does not
merely wear his manners because
they are becoming or politic, but
because he can no more exist with
out them than without air.
There are those who may be said
to have a positive genius for good
manners as another has for conver-
alion: they Know now to sway
itlters by them.
Polite people
have an influence that is not due
to their position (r possessions, to
their learning or their wit. There
are those who believe that good
maimers are only another name for
good clothes and good food and
good homes with the modern con
veniences and luxuries, that they
are talkative and emphatic and
showy; but we do not always find
that the best mannered people live
in palaces.
(iood maimers are .something
whic h nobody can afford to be
without, no matter how rich or
powerful or intellectual he may be.
They add to beauty, they detract
from personal ugliness, they cast a
glamour over defects, they amelio
rate the round shoulders of this
person and the squint of the other;
where they exist, imagination sup
plies deficiencies of every other at
traction. Thev are contagious, like
the measles, but they must be more
than skin deep to be of any service.

them got any rot. Still it was a
change, and everybody needs an oc
casional change. They were one and
all pleased to tind the Government
finances in such a satisfactory con
dition and with prospects of contin
ued improvement. The free gold
now amounts to about $3,000,000 and
there is a very marked decrease in
the demand for gold for shipment to
Europe, while offers of gold continue
to be made to the Treasury. It is
now also known that the close of

purpose, and that purpose should be
carried out. If you hired a contrac

agreement, would you not look
around to get somebody else to fin

should be allowed for debate on a
tariff measure, but all efforts at ob
struction should be. and I believe
will be. promptly squelched."
There are vet some very desirable
J places in both the diplomatic and
consular service to be filled by Dem
ocrats, and it is expected that most
of these appointments will be made
by President Cleveland within the
next few weeks. In this connection
it may be interesting to note how
the appointments already made in
these branches of the public service
have been distributed among' the
States. The diplomatic appoint
ments have gone to the following:
Alabama. Tennessee. New Jersey.
Delaware. Missouri. Vermont, New
Hampshire. California, Massachu
setts. Arkansas. Texas. South Da
kota, and Illinois, one each; Indiana,
Georgia. L.aii-iaiia. and New Vorlc
j two each: Not
Carolina four and
Minnesota five. The Consular ap
pointments have -rone one each to
North Carolina. Georgia, Illinois.
Michigan and Maine; two each to
Massachusetts. Missouri, Mississippi.
Ohio and Indiana, and four to New
York. While that will probably have
little to do with the President's se
lections, the candidates from those
States not mentioned above appear
to be more confident than those from
the States that have already secured
some of these appointments.

ALLIANCE-THIRD PARTY COMBINA-'
TION.
Concord N. C, May 8, 1P93.
Editor Headlight: A meeting
of the Cabarrus County Alliance
Third party combination, was held
at Mt. (Ulead church, five miles from
Concord. Thursday and Friday. All
the Third party ' Tcfawmers" who
could be raked and scraped together
from this and the surrounding coun
ties were there. The great repudi
ated Maryann" Butler was on hand
also Thursday and shot off some vile
rot from his bad, bad mouth in a
two hours' speech.
Tt had been advertised bv some of
the '-brethren" that '-Brother But
ler would address the members of
the County Alliance," and it would
be but natural to suppose that his
address would consist of what
should, whether it does-or not, be of
interest to the Alliance, inasmuch as
he was to address a body of Alii
nncemen. But if "Marvann" said
anvthing much about farming we
have vet to hear of it. His speec h
was the same old song, "gold bugs,'
"Wall street." '-monopolies," 'op
pression," ''the general cussednes
of the Democratic party," &c, &e.
Of course the Democ rats in attend
ance were few in numbers, as they
should have been.
These lliird party gatherings are
no tit places for a good Democrat,
for in the words of lion. A. Leazer,
"No true Democrat can any longer
feed at home in the Alliance." Think-
in f neople are beginning to see that
Butler and his cohorts are runnin
the Alliance in the interest of the
Third party and Gideon's band. How
any sensible man can be duped hit
following these anarchistic leader
is a mvsterv. And vet. there are
some few good, honest men in the
ranks of the Third party. But when
ever you find such a man lie is mis
guided and Inks been fooled into it. I
have yet to find a leader in the Third
party, and I have looked carefully,
who is not a sore head politician, and
therefore can't go with
crowd, or who is not n
monev that thev think th
nv other
it for the
e is to be
made out of it. And the -nigger"
promoter. "Maryann" Butler, comes
under bi th heads.
The principal question discussed
by this meeting of the Alliance and
Gideon's band combined, was the
rascality of the late Legislature. It
was cussed and discussed at length
and resolutions were adopted de
nouncing it. We learn also that
"Maryann" solicited funds to pay
the court costs of "Brother" Otho
Wilson. Chief Gideonite and Chair
man of the Executive Committee of
the Third party in this State. We
have not been able to learn what
amount was raised, but suppose each
Gideonite present contributed some
thing. All the good Gideonites
should help "Brother" Wilson out of
this scrape, but none others should.
It was also decided by the County
Alliance to give its support to the
Third party paper which is to be es
tablished at Charlotte shortly. Sev
eral of the other County Alliances
have done likewise. The paper i- to
be edited by one Samuel Archer,
who was at Mt. Gilead and made a
speech before the Alliances. We
don't know where they will get the
money for the outfit unless the- do
like Butler and give a mortgage on
the paper to Pat Exum.
