1 he Kecord in Uriel. The Charlotte Chronicle sunij tip the record in this way: The history of the State under the conduct of the two parties should be compared by every voter in the State before he makes up his mindaoout the ticket for which he resolves to cast his vote. We can conceive of no safer nor wiser way of reaching a righteous conclusion. Look at the State under Democratic supremacy. It was never so prosperous as it is to day. Its energies are multiplied, its public school system has been gain ing in efficiency every year. None of it funds have been diverted to other purposes and squandered, Over f650,000 are paid annually for the education of the white and col ored children of the State. Asylums adequate in capacity and wisely ad apted to the wants of the afflicted 01 all races and conditions of the peo ple have been built and furnished. Legislators are not paid $7 a day, but only ft a day. The General Assem bly of the State no longer sits three hundred days to draw f 7 per diem, but is restricted to sixty days. The judiciary of the State has been lifted from disrepute and disrespect into the higher confidence of all classes of our people. A large part of the three thousand miles of ? railway in the State have been built "under its regnancy. Its debt has been adjust ed and its credit restored and es- tablisbed. Taxation has been re . duced and the well known and fraudulent special tax bond legisla tion has been disposed of. Such u a bird's eye view of what has been done in North Carolina since 1S76 nnder the administration of the Democratic party. Compare this glorious record with that of the control of the State by the Republican party prior to 1S76, when nnder the leadership of the peerless Vance the State was redeem ed. It has done nothing in the way of educating the thousands of illiter ate children of the State. It did absolutely nothing in the way of in tenia! improvements. It waisted the school fund of the State. Its fraudulent special Tax Bond legis lation is vet abhorred and all the more for the fact that the Vice I residential candidate of the Repub lican party. Danker Morton, of New York, is trying to enforce its pay ment notwithstanding iU fraud i lent character. The larger portion of the State was outraged by the corrupt enforcement of the detest able revenue laws by the most of en rive and corrupt army of officials that ever preyed upon the vital and subverted the personal and property rizhU of a free people. The counties of the East were bankrupted driven to the verge of bankruptcy or greatly demoralized by negro do mination. A diriruptaUe and cor rupt and incompetent judiciary was elected, and law came to be disregard ed and trampled in the dust These facts cannot be forgotten. We have not ppace to dwell longer upon the frightful scene. Let oar readers look upon the two pictures an! compare tbem, and then make up their minds "as sober head ed and none, hearted' freemen about whkh party should have pot- wwion of the government of the State. In the Democratic party has shown bf its record that it has done mjt tut every intemt of the State than the Republican pirty vote for its continuance in power. If the Republican did ta-ttn fnan the Dem ocratic party has done, then place the government in its Lands. the free list, yet the Republican party would keep up a high tariff import duty and tax . everything the laborer has to bny except the arm products we export. This tariff keeps up the price of tools, clothing and hundreds of other ar- icles, and enables the American manufacturer to keep his prices up, too; very nearly corresponding with imported articles. This increase above the actual cost of production in England, put on by the American manufacturer, goes into the Amen- m t I s ml . can manuiacturer s poutes. me government receives but a small per cent. Yet every American laborer pays it when he buys the wares and goods. The Democratic party is in favor of lowering the import duties, The government's revenue is far in excess of actual demands. This will ower the cost on American produe TV ! WW Hons, uoesn t tne laborer see wner he will be benefitted ? A short time ago Congressman Allen, of Massachusetts, speaking for a tariff on flax, advanced an idea it would be well for voters to think about 'He wanted flax taxed be- caused it enabled the pauper, laborers of Europe to accumulate a sum far in excess to anything they have been able to save in their own coun try. This is an astounishing argu ment to advance in the American Congress. It is a statement which should open the eyes of laborers in America. This argument simply means that the American consumer is to pay more for linen, his thread and all the articles he uses, in order that the laborers imported by the manufacturers without any im port duty, may accumulate sum far in excess of what they could save at home. The 16,- 000.000 laborers at work in the fields and factories of America, on our transportation lines and at do mestic service in oar households are to be taxed heavily; and deprived o: any chance of accumulating any thins, forced to live from hand to mouth that one million laborers en gaged in protected industries, "who have come from other lands to this coantry," may nnder the presen tariff on flax accumulate a sum far in excess of anything they have been able to save in their own coun try. This is the Republican policy. it not something to think of and call a halt? Democrats and seventeen Republi cans refused to vote, but Nichols marched up like a little tin soldier and voted against the interest of his constituents. He was probably, afraid that if he didn't vote against cheap cotton ties, the threat of the Pittsburg manufacturer, that the South should have no more cotton ties, would be carried into effect. If so, we pity his iguorant credulity. f not then he betrayed the interest of every farmer in the Fourth dis trict and voted to make their cotton ties h'gh in the interest of Northern manufacturers. Querry; Did the Northern man ufacturers.' for whom Nichols be trayed his constituents, furnish Nichols any money with which to carry on his campaign? The Lvnchbnrr and UurUam Why Sot? Work on the Roanoke and South ern railroad has been begun, and vigorous prosecution of it promised, The contract has been taken by home syndicate of capitalists, so that The American Whistler. Speaking of Mrs. Alice J. ' Shaw, the American whistler, the Saturday Review of London . remarks , that many people have been asked out to hear her, regarding the whole thing as -a joke, and hare come away in simple wonder at the unlooked-for display of her powers. They have found her a sound musician anl a subtle mistress of her particular art They hare found that, through her special medium, she could fill Covent Garden with ecstatic trills or sink Into the softest whispered notes, the execution of which only years of re hearsal could achieve. It may be difficult to conceive a whistling prima donna; but the fact is that whistling as a fine art is worthy of attentive study. Those who have once heard Mr. Alice Shaw cannot fail to realize that, if whistling were cultivated as a fine art by those who, in addition to musical endowment, have strength of vocal chord, a high rooted palate, and a flexible buccal aperture, they might be trained to take part in a concert, as of many clarionets, with an effect more thrill ing than the most exquisite instu mental music has ever conjured up and which from its novelty alone, would be more (uprising than any concert hitherto heard, whether in strumental or vocal. No man can be a sincere member of the Farmers Alliance and a con sistent Republican. One of the first demands of the Alliance is that the present high and burdensome tariff tax shall be reduced. The Republi can party says this demand shall not be'couiplicd with if they, can help it. The Democratic party shows its love or the farming iuterest by passing the Mills bill in the House. The armers Alliance and tbo Demo cratic party demand the same thing exactly, they both demand a reduc tion of Jhe tariff. If anymsmberof the Alliance expects to vote for Iarrison or Dockery he owes it to his self-respect to withdraw from the Alliance. The principle will not mix. Wilson Advance. The Board of Trustees o! Wake orest College, at a meetiug held in laleigh yesterday, unanimously elected Prof. B. F. Sledd, of Vir ginia, to the chair of modern lan guages, and intelligence has been re ceived that he will undoubtedly ac cept the position. Prof. Sledd was a graduate of Washington and Ie University, of Virginia, at which in stitution he stood at the head of his class, and where he was afterwards a tutor. He afterward took thorough course in French, German and English at Johns Hopkins Un versity. Ex-Oovek5or Porter, of Indiana, has refused to accept the nomina tion for Governor of thai State. This may be considered quite a blow to Uenerai Harrison, l'orter was one of Harrison's chosen delegates to Chicago, and is a sincere supportei bf Harrison; but be has been elected Governor of Indiana; he knows that the present contest is doubtful, an he declines because he can't afford a defeat after having been once e'ected The PhiladelphiaTim.es says Porter is confessedly the strongest Repub lican in Indiana, General Harrison the money will all be kept at home. The usual enterprise of Roanoke is sot excepted, and his nomination for facta to Think About We can hot begin to real ie the weighty issue! involved in the Na tional campaign. They are of a momentous character. They art of deep interest to every man who earns las daily bread in the sweat of his face. The Republican party declare that it is id favor of a tariff that will protect Amman labor from com petition with the pauper labor abroad. Is that so? Foreign labor is on the free list Haifa million or more foreign laborer come to our shore every year. These men come in competition with American work ingmen. While foreign labor is on shown in this matter, and she will doubtless reap substantial benefits. We allude to this by way of in quiry, why Lynchburg capital does not take hold of the construction of the Lychburgand Durham road? We believe there is a good opening for money-naking in the enterprise, Much work has been done, but to continue iU prosecution the mort gage bonds will have to be made available. A strong syndicate could do that and make money out of them With one or two hundred thousand dollars on hand, backed by good credit, they could posh the work to completion, and have large assets on hand when it is done. The mortgage bonds will be good. They will be based on substantial and valuable property, when the road is finished. It will pay interest. easily, and the holders of the bonds will have a a good thing. There is plenty of idle money in Lynchburg. Much of it is on de posit at three per cent Put in this enterprise we believe it would pay neven, easily. Be ides, it would be a good thing for Lynchburg ia other Nichols on the Cotton Tie. WOm A4V4MI., ; , The Farmers of the Fourth Con gressional district will bear in mind this tact: That John Nichols who is asking them to re-elect him to Congress voted against the proposi tion to reduce the duty on cotton ties Eight Republicans voted with the Governor would be a great aid to Harrison, as Porter is popular with the industrial voters, while Harri son is not in favor with them. The declinat'on of Porter, therefore, is serious halt in the Republican pro gramme, out it does not at all assure Indiana to the Democrats. It means that the State is to be fought for desperately and that the Republicans are not in quite as good condition for the battle as they would be un der the lead of Porter. ihe Largest and Most Complete Estabishv mont in the City.

There is more misery locked n in some hearts than the world can ever know, and what is sadder t to state, more than it even cares to know, or would attempt to alleviate if it did know. The Wilmington Star says: The Secretary of the Prohibition (Re publican Assistant) party is one Prof. W. F. Steele. What he is Professor of we are not informed. The Raleigh Chronicle thus lets on the light: "If be felt that it was his duty to teach a negro school, he had and has a perfect right to do so. Certainly the Chronicle would not criticise him for doing what he conceived to be his duty. If he believes in so cial equality, as has been evidenced by social intercourse with negroes, that is bis own matter. If his wife introduced negroes t? ladies in Greensbore, and for that reason they have visited her no more, we have no- tbingtosay about that She is a free woman and can do as she pleases."
