The Wateaja Democrat ll.ur-dar. o.l'L',IS!4 The Reps, and Pops, have Ciil.tu.itlth'M.l.lNortliState. nut can th-y hold hei predict nat. It is stated that about 30,000 Demo crat in the State stayed at home on election day, and many others who did vot" done lots of scratching of tickets. Many of the Demo crats were mad and discour aged overth hard times and low price of cotton u n d wheat. If the Pop, a n d Heps, are to be believed we will at an early day have prosperous times for they all told us so in the last cam paign, that if the fusion tick et was elected that flush times would rush upon the country. They failed to set their time, however, but we think Christmas would be an opportune time for t'.ie flush times to usher in and make the heart glad. Don't put it off longer, friends. Cattle and horses, sheep and goats, ought to go up at once. Cot ton ought to bring 15 or 20 cents, whnit must bring $1.2.". Taxes ought to be abolished, grass widows and widowers ought to disappear from among the people Ram mutton and tight boots o nght to be swept away, chinch bugs, fleas. lice and scab ought nil to be scalded at onop, or otherwise destroy ed. Pring on your good times for we are in great need just now. Don't put it cff. Every editor ought to hare a fat turkey for Christ mas arid have enough to eat the balanco of the year. Let us all be jolly in anticipation of gloriu3 times almost up on us. Let every Mlow pay up his dues to the Democrat while the flush is on. The Pops. have. the biggest crowd in the North Carolina legislature, and according to the contract they will have to vote for one of the worst radicals for Senator to take the place of the lamented Yance. While the Pops from the West to the East have praised the name of Vance and hold his memory sacrea yet they will, by the trade made with ihe Republicans, vote for and elect a man to till out the unexpired term of Senator Vance. It will be Jeter Pritchard Dr. Mott or some other extreme Repubh can What would the late Senator say to the Western people for whom he battled so long and wore himself out in their service? If our dead Senator could rise up from his tomb and speak to his people again for whom he had so ranch interest, even the Populists would hide their heads in 6bame. We respectfullj ask our Popu lists representatives to hush their hypocritical praise of our beloved dead Senator, if they inteud to vote for n man to take his place who holds to all the political crimes that Senator Vance spent his life to bring his Deop'.e out from under the blighting effects of these Re publican policies. Be consis tent with the dead if you can not be with the living. Democratic roosters a 1 1 over the country a re sick and feeling bad. None of them have been able to crow siuce the late ''confustication." Our hitheito Democrat roos ter wnl b e silent until '96 when we hope he will be able to crow and strut immensely over Democratic victories. A LETTCSruOY CHIXA. Pkau Hkuther Greene I ami. I i -'t i lli-M (hntivrli vim T . to thechunlus in your care: l)v in Hrk.tiiiif.n: I hnvc , iH,ninif to retn messaire f ti t j I arrived in China, but have failed to catch the time until this, the first Mondav in Sep tember. In my work, study ing and writing my friend and churches, I have ever re mem!Htvd you, daily plead ing for God's blessings' to est upon you. And. indeed, it is a strong stay and true comfort to my soul to believe that votl have reniem tiered me, unworthy as I am. I ask you to remember and love me only in the proportion that 1 love and sh nv myself faithful to Him who loved us and gave Himself for me. I am not worthy of your love and support, but if I have Christ in me, He is worthy, and for His sake I am embol dened to ask that you love and remember me while I give my life for the millions who are dying around me without hope or knowledge of the onlv Savior, Jesus. Brethren, when I look up from this pool of idolatry, su perstition, sin and darkness, my heart yearns for you and for the heavenly privilege of mingling my voice w ith yours in thanksgiving and praise to the only true and living (Jod. While I think otren ot those days of joy among aod's children, yet I cannot think ol turning from these lost people for any price or reward. I would that you could see them as they real.v are. 1 feel sure if yon could see them as they are, your hearts would be stirred for them as never befoie for dy ing mortals. Yet, has not Jesus done enough and said enough to stir our hearts to the giving of all for the sal vation of these people? When there was no arm to help Je sus came to our rescue. Then His last words, the words that contained the burden of His heart, wer?: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." These words were net only to his disciples, but they have come to you and me with the same powerful force, and to disobey this command is a crime against the blessed Re deemer who died for the world. I could not resist this command, but you cannot all come, yet you can help to send the truth. Will you look for u moment into this land and see a mighty army ol forty thousand souls pas-ting through the gates of death every day. Yes, pass ing ' beyond reach, beyond hope into a sinner's hell. Wi'l you look again and see the missionary, after his clay's toil, on bended knees agoniz ing in prayer for the lost mill ions about him and pleading with a burdoned soul To ; more laborers? As you open your Bible in church or by the fire-side, look at Calvery, see Jesus dying in agony and blood for these people as well as for you. Look again to the Mount of Olivesand hear Him say so tenderly "Go ye into all the world." Then will you not determine in your soul to do all you can for the cause of Christ and the heathen what time you live? Oh, may God help you to do this. I have been here now near eight months and have put in oil the time I could possi bly get in the study of the language. We have been en- caged in entering a new field I ! far out in the interior of Ulii-.

I want you. of the Three Forks and Mitchell to furnish me with the necessaries of lite a n d work on the field. I find I can live well on the reduced sala ry and devote all my time to the work without the least anxiety about my personal n ei's or the needs of the work. I will now speak a word -on cerningthe city in which I am stopping. This is a city of about 200,000 inhabit ants. The central port of it is enclosed by a groat stone wall. In time tb city was contained inside the wall but now the city extends far out side the wall, especially on the east, south and west. Tere are now almost, or quite, as many people liv ing outside the city wall as inside. The streets are gener ally very narrow and dirty, but all crouded with houses and the houses crouded with people, except the shops, which have quite a number of clerks in each one. The houses are mostU made of mud and round rock. They seldom think of having n plank floor bnt a dirt one. The city is located a I; the foot of oici most, famous mountainsiuCbi ia. Itsname is Tai San, meaning moun tain ofptace. Thousandsand thousans of people climb this mountain evvry year to wor ship at the many l;:ige tern pls built on top. The road to the top of this mountain is a rock stair-way most of the way. If rhe peopV knew of Jesus they would cense to make long pilgrim ages to this mountain to worship god s of mud unu stone. Brethren ornv that the light may soon dawn upon thw hearts ol' these peopl" and th -v shall cease to call upon that which cannot help. I must say no mi re at present. Don't cease to pray lor us every time you meet at the house of God, also remember us with these lot people when you are in your oivn clear homes. tied ever bless and bring you with many of these people ho"p to glory.
