Picl beKWty or killnttrated pa per that has proved a faithful friend to the Democratic party, asks the simple question: "Where is the Re publican party of Lincoln, Sumner, Seward and Stanton?" Is it in Ohio, with Foraker, raving about the bat tie flags; with John Sherman,prea'jh ine beace at the South and war at the North; or with Edmunds, ob structing the business of the Senate with a view to embarrass the Presi dent? No, it is not with these. It is party perished with Liucoln, and was succeeded by that of the whisky riDg and the mpnopolies. It brcame the party -of Belknap, of Wiiliams, ol Robeson. It has never risen higher than Blaine) whose . reputation will not bear airing, and one of whose deals in Little Rock bonds was "given away" by several of his palt whom he had disappointed. This it HttTi thai the r Democracy must root tirt year, and with it con-ln-ihe-Presidfncri It cannot and will not present any question ol more significance or importance than the battle flags. It does not dare to enter a canvass upon any legitimate issue. ffy-wiU, therefore, -repeat the same8a,clr;vanddeal in the same stale denunciations that in 1884 - proved flat, stale and unprofitable.

How sad the story of Ireland is has never been fully or adequately told m North- Carolina owes the Irish uation heartfelt sympathy among our first ( j-settlere were a large number of brave patriots of true Irish blood. The truth coming now from that country is aus long story of wholesale evic tion and deportation. Between 1841 and 1881 the number of farms in Irelaru was reduced from 826,616 to 49108, and , the number of houses Ifrctn i28,839,, to 914,108. i The dis appearance of 327,400 farms and 414, 731 houseslh forty years is sufficient proof of evictions, . and. tht during Victoria's reign 480,000 families, rep resenting jover 3,000,000 of popula tion, have been . unroofed and driven from the island. The government returns show that 4,186,000 persons have emigrated during the Queen's reign, and three-fourths of these were evicted peasants. Is it any wonder . that the Irish people agitate for legis- :-lative independence and are resolute ly determined to get frjm under a system that entails such brutalizing results. TThkrb is still hope for the Massa .chusetts spinsters. , Last year there were 18,18 marriages in the State, oV,$?6jhbre than In ' the year . pre vious.

While there is always a right .apcLftjcroDg side to every question, Atlanta will continue to crow, no matter now the "election is decided. If the predictions of the unsuccessful side were always true the country would go to the dogs af ter each elec tion, but it does not. It is true that our nation will prosper more under good laws, but it is so young and strong and healthy that it can stand a good deal from bad ones ard thrive in spite of them. Speaking of the proposed visit of the Hon. Jefferson Davis to Colum bia, the Aiken .Recorder says: "The veterans and citizens of Columbia are trying to induce Mr. Davis to extend his trip to that city during the State Fair. It is to be hoped that they may be successful, as it would afford deep and heartfelt pleasure to thous ands of old soldiers to see their illus' trious chief once more before he crosses the silent river to rest from the labors of an eventful life The Washington Critic says: Con little inconvenience in Charlotte and elsewhere. The demand upon the Bureau of Engraving and Printing for internal revenue stamps continues so large that no other work can be done. The supply of small notes held by the Treasuiy has been exhausted, and it is not known how sxn the Department will be able to resume the issue. Advices from Washington state that four territories are preparing to make earnest endeavors for admis sion to the union as states this winter. These are Montania Dakota, Wash ington and New Mexico. The propo sition to divide Dakota into two states will be revived, but will prob ably be defeated in the house. Real estate is such a vital est in Kansas that even in the inter- midst of the festivities of a presidential re- cention the averace inhabitant wnn- dered whether the President read the sign boards and saw at what mod erate prices corner lots could be bought. . Dakota will knock at the door of Congress next session for admission to the Union as a State. Francis Murphy, the temperance apostle, is filling en engagement at Chicago this week. Gov.

In the presence of the stupendous question of Democratic or Republi can supremacy in North Carolina all other questions sink into utter insig nificance. To insure success there must be unity of sentiment and con cert of action. Wadesboro Messen ger. This year's crop is reasonably good. but it will not pay up back rations and set the farmer even with the wor'd. Money is not quite so scarce as it was a month or two ago. The farmer has been rushing his cotton and tobacco into market in order to meet debts that were pressing. But he has no surplus. A great manv farms are undr mortgage. The sime is true with regard to horses md mules and crops. How is it pos sime to can men tnus situated pros perous? It is not worth while for us to deceive ourselves; nor is it right for others to cry "prosperity" when there is no prosperity. Let the farmers look things squarely in the face. Let them know the worst and prepare for it. Pittsboro Home. . - . Sme Civil Swrrtce QueaUwna. PlttSbnrgCbronlcla. Among the questions propounded to the candidates for the position of chief of the wew York election bu reau at the civil service examination last week were as follows: "Divide l-5th ofl-7th ofl-9thby 3-4 tns and reduce tne decimals. "Multiply l-8th of 1 7th by 3-8ths 01 l-10th." "What political parties were there in George Washington's time?'' Of course it is highly desirable that, among his other accomplish ments, f-n election officer should be able to split up vulgar fractions into smaller fragments with neatness, correctness and dispatch, and also to be informed in regard to the political parties of one hundred years ago. But stop there. Why not continue the catecism, and ask such questions as these: What ws your wife's name before she was married t Do you play the piano.'

' ' When Anderson and Bernhardt," he contin ued, "killed an Indian several years ago, he owed me 1345. Since that time $330 of this amount has been paid me by his relatives. ; Kentucky died the othf r day owing me about $50. Already his relatives have ap proached me on the subject and made arrangements to pay the amount. It is a law with them to pay the debts'of theirJdeadSrelatives, and they never break it. I am sure of getting my money if an Indian dies owing me, but when a white man dies leaving no property, no matter how rich his relatives, I never expect to get a cent. There is a great deal ot good about a dead Indian, anyhow," said the ex-merchant, as he closed the conversation and walked away. Kick 1h Ukmrtw Tww.
