The attempts to put the McKinley collar upon other Senators have been djsmnl failures. Allison and Aid rich t hiye noth refused the Treas ury portfolio, whvh had first been refused . by tteprewnta- - tive Dingley. It Is difficult to got men of self-respect w h o are willingly to blindly pMr themselves to support McKin ley for reelection in return for a Cabinet portfolio. It seeuis that a blackguard speech has to be madp at ev ery session of tongresB. Rep resentative Johnson, of Cal., who was workinir with the llunt.insrton lobby for the Pa cific Railroad Funding bill, which was disposd of by the (louse to-day after four days discussion, is entitle d to the heir for bavins made one of the dirtiest and most inde ' cent personal attacks ever made on the floor ot the House-r-the speech was so dir tv that no paper would print it all. The man attacked was Wm. R. Hurst, who has fought the bill in his N e w York and San Francisco pa uers. and who, Mr. Johnson thinks, was instrumental in getting him defeated when he i was a candidate for retlec tion last November. , A Senator who is a close friend to Justice Field, of the Supreme Court, said of the ' revi va1 of the rumor that Jus ""' tice Field, who has long been eligible for retirement, would ' retire on the promise of Pres- ident Cleveland to nominate Secretary Carlisle to the vya cancy: "There isn't a word of truth in the story. Justice Field hassaid that he would ; ' not give Mr. Cleveland an op portunity to name his ucces sor. and the old -centleman bas a long and unbroken rec ord for Ining up to his word. ' Rntevenlf he should retire ;fV?r there should be another vacancy in the lourt.it would not be filled by Secretary Car m lisle: he might be nominated - hv the President, but there would be no possibility of the . s nomination being confirmed hv the Senate." . Senator Jonis, of Ark., has the election'' of His successor by the A rkansaa legislature. As he has no opposition, there isn't, the slight est d t u b t of his being his own success or, and the democrats of Ar kansas will make no mistake in':, sending Sena tor J ones back as no man, hi ,the,Seu ate has more, rapidly come to thefront in' power and in fluence than he has since he became prominent in the Wil Hon.triff.. bill, tight in the iusi campaign vuuiniiuu of tbu Democratic National Committee is known to all. Whether the spen-h of Sen ator-Mills to-day,' oii his res- olution declaring that thex pedieucy of recognizing t. h e inde endence of a f o r e i g n state belongs to Congress; and further'deolaring that the independencH of Cuba ought to be and is hereby recogniz ed, and appropriating $10, 000 for the salary and expen ses of a Minister to Cuba, will opn the flood gates of Cu ban oratory remains to be seen. It was plain aiid to the uoiii't.- Mr. Mills thinks the matter should not be longer postponed; and a short time ago a majority of the Sen ate thought with him, b u influences have been at. work which, if they have notchan ged opinions, have at least brought ab-nit an apparent willingness to leave th? whole business for the next ' C o n gretfs and administration to deal with. Representative Money, of Miss., has return ed from his investigating trio to Cuba, but sas he' iM not ready yet to talk for pub ication of what he loan d out, or at least of all he founl our. The House passed the Loud bib and it is nowhithel.ands of the Senate Committee, with chances ot a c t i o n in doubt, Th?re is a disposition on the part of democrats in the House to criticise- the tardi ness of Speaker Reed in fill ing th two democratic va cancies on the Ways and Means Committee. They should unquestionably have been filled before the tariff hearings, but although the hearings are now over; tbey are still unfilled. It looks like a bit .f pure cussed i less on the Dart of Reed. The places are merely honorary now, as the democratic members will not be allowed to have any ham in making the tariff bill.' Interstate Commerce Com missioner T. D. Yeomans is home from a short visit to his home in Iowa. He brings back one of the best stories of the season, which he pick ed up in Chicago. It runs to the effect that a man caugn sieht of a fine picturu of Ma ior McKinley in a shop win - ... dow. Uuderneath was the le trend, "the advance guard o prosperity." t he man looked long and curiously at it, and then exclaimed: " irell, I II be & f I have neen in the show business these forty years and never before have 1 seen an advance agent so far a- head of his show." Ex. Urn Th Woman's Pledge. Editor Deinociai: : , , .1.1 wonder how many o f your readers remember the suggestion made by mesome time ago in regard to a young woman's temperance league? Dear young ladies, how ma ny of you will join with inein this grand and noble work? One deaf sister at'"F a i r Plains, N. C has organized a lodge with flattering iros ptcts. Who will tak t h i s work in hand and do like wise? Let us go to work and get the girls and young la dies all to Join -together un der obligations that they will not associate with 'onng men who drink. I vvh!i rach one could see the beniit v of this society. In God's own nook we -read of a. young wo man. who did two very sun pie things One was to watch a little cradle among therush es; another was to go a r d find a nurse for little Moses. Did she dt earn that she was saving the future leader of God'schosen people? Can you think" of anything sweater, more 'angelic than the band ing together of girls to study out the ways and means of saving our boys and young men from drunkenness, lead ing them bv the still waters of usefulness and sobriety. Oar Government will toler ate this liquor trafic, which means death to thousands annually; which means heart broken wives and agged and hungrv children. Now it is in he power of women to do a greater work for the uplift ing of humanity than Ii a s heen'doue, if I can only get his question belorethem ard get them to see the beauty there is in the Woman's 1 em peranee Society. Our fat Senators and Con gressmen like the social glass oo Wfll to oppose th;1 gieat- est evil of "Christian Ameri ca." They even allow this vile stuff to be sent across the waters and sold to the nnir henthnn. And Wt we ive in christian America aiid send our missionaries to orach the gospel to these :eople, which is good, but kwo the devil's fire-works ort. The future of the temper a nee reform depends on tram inir the young and so I ap neal to them. Each church and school should have a so cietv lor the young women and girls. We want you too, dear friend. We need you to heh) us battle against the greatest foe of mankind. No miip cfln till vournlaet :ri'one can do your work. I know by your earnest lace that you are waiting to knowour Uu ty in this ottne. I hear your question: " W hat can 1 do It wa only a little flower put into a sick room that led n weary soul back to God. You can use your influence always and everywhere tor temper a nee. . Young ladies, there is a wide domain of : influence to which I have called your, at tention, because it is yours, onlyjours now for a limit ed portion of time. I refer to the power peculiar to the craces and attractions of youth; lor if youbaveaswfcet! ! ft ' . face and winnhur smile, it is God's gift and He means that! you shall use it for good. Clifton, N.C. ' L.'E. Not So Wicked. Washington 'Times. It appears that the Rev. A C. Dixon a New. York clergy man, has recently been ' say iug that the world isgrowiug very wicked, that it grows more uud more wicked every day, and that something re ally ought to be done about t. This opinion of Rev. Mr: Dixon has, been shared b y many others, not only, as we Pel ievc, by Dr. Moody, the matchlesss evangelist, but bv many other religious author it its in New York. This theo ry is somewhat natural. All of these gentlemen live m the metropolis, or have recently been staying there. The wickedness of that great city is notorious. Thealmost indecent publication concern ing the dinner o certain swells of the Four Hundred at Sherry's was nut needed to confirm that view. But New York is not ail of the U nited States, indeed it is a very small and very foreign part, of the United States. It does not typify the great and glorious goodness of this great country. The tern pet and purpi se of the American people aro essentially genu ine, pure, patriotic and reli gious. It may be that the devotees of certain creeds are not able to report from year to year or from month to month, that their number of communicants is increasing; but that does necessarily mat ter. Perhaps the communi cants of other denominations are increasing rapidly; or ev en if they are not, the great reading, well-informed, well intended, thoughtful and lib eral body who constitute the American people, whatever the accident of their birth or education may have been, are increasing in the depth and strength of their real goodness and real religious feeling. Happily it is coming more and more to be believed that creeds are not essential, or, possibly, to put it better, that the one great creed of humanity ana of universal' human charity, of love, in deed, and of conformity with the One Divine Order, a n d hence of utility, improvement and happiness, is more und more honored nnd followed. It matters very littleabout New York city. It isquitenat ural, as we have said, that the Rev. Mr. Dixon and u 1 1 of his fellows should believe, judging from their experience in the metropolis, that the world is growing worse Rut it is not. And it is not logic ally to be supposed that the evidence which has been fur nished to these gentlemen in New York has anything what evei to do with the case ' Wild Wins. ; ,' The boy or the man who spends all hU earnings away from home; attending lect ure, club room, theatie, .bill iard hall, bear saloon; play ing chess, checkeis, pool or cards; chewing or smoking tobacco, drinking liquor, or gambling? or the on who Ms entirely free from nil that we have named; whose determi nations and tendencies are in the direction of home, indus try, sobriety, self 1 culture in the science and the literature of the past nnd the present. of right, the truth, of God: There is a gentleman in Chi cago who stands high in bus mess circles, because, w h e u but a boy on the streets of Chicago, he chose the light and maintained it. At eleven his father died, leaving u wife and.tour'hildren. From that time, foi seven years, that boy sold papers and blukod boots, all the while support ing the family out of his dai ly profits. At eighteen he com men- ed business for himself as a merchant, nnd to-day is highly respected by his many friends and acquaintances and is doing a flourishing business. Who wins, the boy or man of bad habits? No! The boy or the man who can swear, cheat, or lie, or steal without being found out? No! Rut he wins who is not ashamed to pray to God in the hour of temptation for help; f o r strength more than human when adversity overwhelms. He who reads God's Word and trusts it, who does not ask, Is it expedient? but is it right? he wins.-Sol. onnonenta reached itiis sCehe of . conflict or hot, Hanabrough hwi ' now pulfei through; and aa the gentleman was once 1 an ad Vent nrsome printer, who did lio'f hes-, itate to travel : from 1 6 w n to town for work when hetabsolte ly needed it, and as lie bus never put on a frill in his life, no matter what his success may havbeen, who shouldn't wish nun, contin ued snccees?

Hi !ilr:y J J t.o csui. sua aj The Lenoir Topic is rrapon sible for the following: "A young man whose home is near Zionville, Watauga county, is working at a saw mill in Little River township. Last week he received a let ter from home which related the circumstances of a lively fracus near his home in which Hen Sanders and his wife, Ma ry, were the chief actors They both had on toi much liouor. The lady belabored the old man with everything in reach. Their son, John, had a gallon pot full of cof fee which the queen of the ranche made free use of in the battle. The old man broke the skillet all to flin dei-s on the hearth; while the old lady beat the life and mu sic out of their son John's fiddle. So there is mourning and sore lamentation in that family in those Christmas days no skillet to bake the bread and uo fiddle to enli ven the home with its sweet strains of music."
