Honesty till' Best Policy.
It is strange how reluctant young
men are to accept the most vital
truth in life, the most absolute hon
esty is the only kind of honesty that
succeeds
business. It isn't a re
ligion or religious belief. Honesty
does not depend upon any religious
creed or dogma that was ever con
ceived. It is a question of a young
man's own conscience. Ho knows
what is ri'dit and what is wrong.
And vet. simple as the matter is. it j
is astonishing how ditiicult it is of j it
understanding. An honest course
in business seems too slow to the av
erage young man. "I can't aiionl to
plod along. I must strike, and
strike quickly." is the
Ah. ves. mv friend, but
sentiment,
not dishon-
estly.
No young man can afford to even
think of dishonesty. Success on hon
orable lines may sometimes seem
slower in cominir. but when it does
come it outrivals in permanency all!
the so-called successes gained by
other methods. To look at the meth-
oils of others is always a mistake, j
The successes of to-day are not given j
to the imitator, but to the originat-i
or. It makes no difference how oth-;
er men succeed their success is j
theirs and not yours. You cannot j
partake of it. Every man is law un- j
to himself. The most absolute in- j
tegrity is the one and the only sure j
foundation of success. Such a sue- j
cess is lasting. Oiher kinds of sue- j
cesses may seem. so. but it is all in '
the seeming, and not in therculitv. !
I Let a young man swerve from the j everywhere, llie lazy, discontented
j path of honesty and it will surprise ; men are lying around waiting for re
jhim how quickly every avenue of a j lief, while the pale-faced wife is doing
lasting success is closing against !
him. Making money dishonestly is j
the most difficult thing to accomplish j
in the world, just as lyin;
practice most wearing on th
s the j
mind. 1
It is the young man of unquestioned
integrity who is selected for the im
portant position. No business man
ever places his business in the hands
of a young man whom he feels lie can
not absolutely trust. And to be
trusted means to be honest. Hon
esty, and that alone, commands con
fidence. An honest life, well direct
ed, is the only life for a young man
to lead. It is the life that is compat
ible with the largest
ness success.

Hani Time)
To a poor, unsuccessful, hap hazard
armer the times are always hard,
no matter what kind of a season, or
what financial depression the coun
try may be undergoing: but the in-
j tclligent. thrifty fanner, one who
! diversifies his croiis. raises his meat
and his bread first, does
anything comparatively of
he know ;
the lrard j
times that have caused so much dis- j
tress throughout the country during i
the past vear? Thousands and tens
of thousands of honest, skillful me
; diar ies are out of work and are suf
' i'ering for want of the necessaries of
I life. Is there an intelligent farmer
in all North Carolina that is out of
j work or suffering for bread? Every
farmer who is not indolent gets a
I living during these hard times. It
I may be a pretty poor one for some.
J but lie gets it all the same; at any
; rate he is not begging, nor is he en
i listed in a mob fighting for bread.
Everybody is dependent on the
' farmer for enough to eat. drink and
to wear, they are the producers of j
bread and meat and serve themselves ;
first, and the surplus goes to feed j
the residue of humanity. A farmer j
who complains these hard times,
when so much suffering exists among:
the unemployed throughout the land. !
should look about himself and com
pare his condition with that of others.
He may not have any money, but he
has meat and bread and "regular
employment." He should not exhib
it ingratitude when such superior
; advantages and better opportunities
have fallen to his lot in these trying
times than to the rest of humanity.

A IIP IS DOWN OX POLITICIANS.
They Have Fonlrd tlic People by Saj in?
that Congress Cunld grive Holier.
Old Dr. Abernathy, or some other
doctor, said that he was the best
physician who amused the patient
until nature restored him. Our law
makers at Washington have been
practicing on the people that way
for about a year, and I verily believe
the patient is getting well. They
have fooled the people with bread
pills and sweetened water and fed us
on hope and promises until the reac
tion has come, and now we don't
care a darn whethey they do any
thing or not. As Cobe says, "It's
all optionary with me." Business is
resuming its natural channels. The
wheels of industry are turning. Re
trenchment and reform at home have
effected more than silver bills or tar
iff legislation. Adversity has taught
us all a lesson, and now another good
crop will set the country all right.
The people have been fooled with
the idea that Congress could relief.
The average American citizen is a
simp!;1 minded, credulous creature,
lie knows no more about this silver
question than I do, and I don't know
whether I know anvtl)inr or not.
! How should I know, when my teach
! ers all differ so widely, and one man
tells me one thing and another says
not so? It is amusing to read
the interviews with representative
men. in Atlanta. Some of them went
to school with my boys some of
them don't know what seigniorage
means, but all of them are like Jack
llunsby they ''have ah opinion as
is an opinion."' Some say Cleveland
is a great statesman and some say
he is a fool and some say he is a
knave, and has sold out to the gold
bugs and will make enough by this
veto to retire as a millionaire.
I was up at Sanford the other day
and a man told me confidentially that
another man told him that lie had
just come from Yv'ashington and it
was norated there that G rover went
a-fishiny; at E'rr harbor and rot on
bender and throwed some of the eggs
at his friends. I don't believe that
do you? But about politics my
opinion is that the people attach too
much importance to them. There
are men
round Clear Water talking
polities while their wives are at
home sewing for a living and sup
porting the family. That is the way
tin the work.
The love of office seems to be a
passion with a large class of people.
Aney brood over it and scheme for it
nnd hanker after it. It does look
like a great man who is worthy of a
high office would naturally be retir
ing and modest, and not be everlast
ingly setting up his claims his
claims his services to the party.
The wild rush for the succession be
fore Senator Colquitt was buried
was disgraceful. It was like some of
them Atlanta lawyers who hear of a
railroad wreck and rush wildly there
and importune the injured man for
his case while the surgeon is setting
his broken limb, or they offer their
services to the bereaved widow be
fore hov imsi)and is buried. These
are not fancies they are facts, and
it is a sign of falling from grace
when the people allow such things
to be done without rebuke without
scorn and contempt.
There are men in every State who,
like old Dob Lee in the arm v. are
above the spirit of detraction. Such
a man I thought was General Evans,
and that
Governor,
s why I wanted him for
and I am sorry that he
ever agreed to take the stump and
be hawked at by the politicians.
There was no necessity for it. Every
little jack-a-nape who is sidewiping
around to get the orthography of a
little office will jump up and down
and say I'm for this or I'm for that,
when if he would go to work he
could earn more honest money than
he will ever get waiting for office.
But the issues are upon the coun
try. The old parties will be torn
asunder and new allignments made,
and maybe that will break up the sol
id South and the almost solid North,
and bring about a new era like there
vls in the parties when Whigs and
Democrats divided the people. There
are thousands of good Democrats
down South who favor a protective
tariff, and they will turn to a party
that will give it. There is bound to
be a new deal of the cards a new
move on the check board. The old
issues have been brushed up and
worked over until they are thread
bare. Mr. Cleveland may be right,
but he is not with the party cer-
tainly not with the party in Georgia,
I in fact all over the South, for our
i people say they, want more silver
'and an income tax and the remov-
al of the 10 per cent, tax on State
j banks.
i But. after all, the man who will
i work diligently and attend to his own
business will get all the free silver
1 he needs, tax or no tax, tariff or no
tariff, and he won't have to borrow
! money from State banks or any
; other banks. Tlrc Almighty Father
mm- nfroet tiim V.nt. nnbndv elsp

i It makes me sad to
think how He
I has afllicfed thousands
by the late
wintry blasts that have destroved
the fruit and the crops, but we can't
help that by legislation.
Bill Arp.
Prejudice.
Prejudice is one of the worst ob
stacles to the souls progress a handi
cap uKn the runner in the race of
life.
Probably no person is free from
prejudice. On the miud or heart it
rests like a dead weight yet too un
defined to be perceived as a thing to
be resolutely cast off. With some
people prejudices are treated as
though there were a merit in them.
One person takes a dislike to another
of whom he knows little perhaps
has never seen. No reason can be
given for this attitude; but rather
than give up the prejudice he sub
mits to it and so destroys any good
influence that that person might
have over him. Nor does it stop
here. The prejudice is aired and ad
vertised until the gtxxl influence that
that same person might have over
others is destroyed.
It is difficult to rid ourselves of a
prejudice, even when we wish to;
but to cling to and to value it, to
fold it in our arms and pet it and
show it off as one of our prized pos
sessions, is this a fit proceeding for
an honest man?
Two r a Kind.
The Wilmington Star notes the
fact that there are two kinds of busi
ness that prosper in this country,
notwithstanding the frequent expos
ures by the press; one is the "green
goods' fraud, the other supplying
unexpected heirs with large inherit
ances. So much has been said about
the first of these frauds that is is
surprising the fellows who ply them
can find any dupes, but they do lind
lots of them every day and among
them people of presumed intelli
gence. The other, which lias been quite as
often exposed by the newspapers of
this and other countries, and by our
representatives abroad, finds its
dupes too, who are credulous enough
to have faith in the announcements
of their goxl fortune and payout
their money liberally to foreign
sharpers and their accomplices in
this country who pocket the money,
and that's the end of the big inherit
ance business and of the hopes of the
duped.
The Lesson It Teaches.
Charlotte Observer.
The enthronement of Populism,
wherever it has been enthroned, has
meant the opening of a Pandora's
box of evils. Kansas, Oregon, Ne
braska and Colorado have been the
scenes of disgraceful occurrences, re
sulting from the violence and hot
headedness of Populist rulers, and
we see now in South Carolina the
consequences of Populist govern
ment the corner-stone of which is
hate.
It is to be hoped that the people of
North Carolina will take well to
heart the lesson which this trouble
in our sister State teaches, and learn
from it that the peace and prosperi
ty of the Commonwealth are condi
tioned upon the unity and fraternity
of the governing class the white
people of the State. Our conserva
tive and sensible people must see
from the state of affairs just across
the border that a government found
ed upon prejudice must bring trouble
in its train.
Blood-thirsty Colored Youth.
Wilmington Star.
Among the freaks produced by the
State of Alabama is a ten-year-old
darkey, who started out two months
ago by clubbing a six-year-old broth
er to death for refusing to give him
some marbles. A month later he
amputated with a hatchet his little
sister's fingers because she refused
to give him a plaything, and a few
days ago finished up his perform
ances by pumping a load of shot into
a younger brother and killing him
for refusing to divide a biscuit. The
authorities then concluded it was
time to take him out of the reach of
temptation and put him in jail.
Choked witli a Marble.
Durham Sun.
Mary, the little four-year-old
daughter of Mr. Henry Edwards,
who resides in North Durham, came
near being choked to death yester
day afternoon with a large marble.
She was pla3'ing with it in her mouth
and it slipped down her throat. She
was choked for an hour and a half,
and there was great excitement
among the neighbors. All the ladies
in the neighborhood and many men
went to Mr. Edwards' home to do
what they could for the child, and
finally some one took her by her heels
and gave her a violent shake and out
rolled the marble.

Last Week in Trade Circles.
Special Correspondence. j
New York, April 9, 1804.
Trade reports during the past
week have continued to indicate a
gradual and healthful growth of bus
iness. Consumptive requirements
drawing upon spring stocks in the
hands of distributers have disclosed
deficiencies which have protracted
the demand upon primary markets
to a later date than had been the
case 111 any recent year. Industrial
output is steadily expanding; but as
yet the improvement in demand has
not been sufficient to strengthen
prices. Merchandise exports have
continued to exceed those of last
season at the corresponding period;
but there has been no increase in
imports, which continue to fall heav
ily below those of last year.
A very encouraging feature of the
situation is the continued decrease
in the number and importance of
business failures. For the last week
the total in the United States and
Canada was 275, as against 22:J for
the corresponding week last year.
But according to Ii. G. Dun & Co.,
the number of failures was only 1003
in March, as against 1202 in Februa
ry and 20n0 in January; and while
the aggregate of 42H7 failures for the
three months was never equaled in
any quarter until the third of last
year, "the average of liabilities was
only $14,800, which was lower than
any that has appeared in the records
of 38 years at any time closely suc
ceeding any serious reverse."
Cotton prices have further advanc
ed 1-10 of a cent per pound, owing
to a steady tendency toward the ex
haustion of interior stocks, contin
ued liberal exports and a slight in
crease in purchases by domestic
spinners. The cotton goods trade
has developed no decided improve
ments; but there is a fair business
in reflection of current distributing
wants, and ju ices show little change.
Values still show some irregularity
according to the condition of stocks,
but the general position, if an3'thing.
is a little steadier. The wool trade
has Wen fairly active. More ma
chinery is at work, and consumption
is increasing. Stocks of wool in sea
board markets are much reduced ;
and there is in consequence a firmer
feeling as to values of all desirable
supplies which yet remain.
Wheat prices have advanced 3 to 4
cents ier bushel, owing to the con
tinued prevalence of uncertainty as
to the condition of the growing crop.
The crop was unquestionably dam
aged to some extent by recent freez
ing weather: but the reports of in
jury have been much exaggerated
for speculative effect. The situation,
in view of previous low prices for
wheat, has naturally alarmed the
wind sellers in all markets; and the
effect of eager covering of contracts
b this class of operators and of
larger buying for investment is ap
parent in the higher level of values.
It remains to be seen whether the
rise in prices is the beginning of a
permanent recovery from the ex
treme depression of the wheat mar
kets or merely the temporary result
of a frothy speculation.
The Cincinnati Price Current, after
further investigation, insists that 85
or 00 per cent, of the winter grain
area has escaped serious injury, and
that the higher average condition of
the crop will admit of a larger pro
duction than that of last year, if con
ditions should hereafter be equally
as favorable. The excitement in the
speculative markets has prevented
much new business for export; and
it is noted that, while American
prices have been going further and
further above European buying lim
its, several cargoes of Argentine
wheat have been sold for future ship
ment by exporting firms in New
York. Clearances of wheat and flour,
however, in completion of old en
gagements, have continued of fair
volume; and so far during this crop
year the exports have been approxi
mately only 10,000,000 bushels less
than they were during the correspon
ding period last year.
Corn prices have advanced li cents
per bushel, partly as a result of a
comparatively moderate interior
movement and a fair exjmrt demand,
but largely from sympathy with the
strength in the wheat markets.
There has been a very large move
ment of hogs to Western packing
centres, but its effect upon prices of
provisions has been more than offset
by the speculative strength in. ce
reals, and Chicago prices are frac
tionally higher than the' were a
week ago. Exports of hog products
continue large, and for last week the
shipments of meats and lard aggre
gated 25,017,000 pounds, as against
10,040,001) pounds for the corresjon
ding week last vear.

A (entleman Pickpocket.
Charlotte News.
Mrs. Jonas Schiff, of Charlotte, is
visiting in Washington. Last Tues
day she started out to do some shop
ping, and on reaching for her purse,
found that it was missing. The
IHxketbook contained $10.50 in cash,
a check, and a number of cards and
papers. Mrs. ScfTiff at once tele
graphed to have the payment of the
check stopped, for it was for a good
sum of money.
On Friday, Mr. Schiff received a
package which, as shown by the post
mark, was mailed in Baltimore. The
package contained the check, cards
and all the papers that were in Mrs.
Schiff's pocketbook. There was no
word of writing or explanation, but
none was needed. The pickpocket
had kept the purse and the cash, and
had mailed the check and papers to
Mrs. Schiff's address. Mrs. Schiff
was evidently the victim of a pro
fessional. Col. I.. .1. Alfred Writ en:
