ON TUB ROCK OF THE CON STITUTION. Democracy Vs. Alliance. The Greensboro Patriot says: Mr. R. T. Beal, of Lenoir, who caused such a stir among the Alliance a few weeks ago, baa a lengthy article in the Progres sive Farmer this week, headed A Definition of the True Prin ciples of Democracy and Third Party and a warning against the latter. The communication throughout is able and instruc tive, and will furnish food for the alliance to think about on ramy days. Mr. Beal says the only objection-he has yet seen to his plea for Cleveland were raised by two corresponnents of the Progressive Farmer, one of whom "read him out" 01 tne Democratic Party, the other out of the Alliance, using his lan guage: "And both in this summary ejectment have shown a spirit of bitterness which tramples in the very dust that injunction of our Constitution, "To constantly strive to secure entire harmony and rood will amoncr all man kind, and brotherly love among ourselves." The Constitution of my country guarntees to me freedom of thought and free dom of speech. . The. Constitu tion of the Al lance and the ri tual give me a solemn pledge that there shall be no interfer ence with my politics or my re ligion. With this shield lean turn all the shafts of malice that may be hurled at me. : In that plea I attacked no man's life, I mmiirned no man'B motives. I indulged in no personalities. I simply appealed to the sense of justice and right that au true hearted men possess." In Mr. Beals defense of Cleveland he says Mr. Cleve land's letter was not directed against a judicious coinage and Circulation 01 saver uui againsi certain congressional bill which threatened to flood the country with a depreciated cur rency, which does not affect capitalists so much , as it does the poorer classes, mr. seai here brings to bear a very for cible illustration as follows: : Under the unlimited free coin age clause, every owner of silver mine would become more powerful than Aladdin with his wonderful lamp. Every capi talist could more than double his capital in three investments, Let me illustrate: . lhe mine owner has f 700 worth of silver metal, or bullion, as it is called, or the capitalist goes into the market and buys $700 worth of bullion (the market price of a dollar is 70 cents in bunion), Now under this bill the govern- ment must put its stamp on it, and it is immediately worth to the holder f 1,000, thus clearing $3'.H) on a single invetment. But this is not all: The capitalist buys a poor man's farm for Si, 000 and gives his note, pay able in ninety days, lie takes 700 and buys silver bullion, gets it stamped at the mint in to f 1,000, then offers to pay his note, and the poor man must take it, for under this bill it is a !arw1 iaviIab nn.l 4 Vi 11 a nnws lita f 1,000 debt for only 700. which by the way. we would JUI VIVDVO SU iSJhVWi publish in full but for lack of space, with a burst of eloquence that shows bow deeply in earn est he is: In view of the recent peri! which the nation, in the South particularly, has just escaped from force bills and other des potic centralizing measures it, looks like the folly of madmen for us to abandon our fortifica tions and expose everything we hold most sacred to risk of de struction. What will silver bills and sub- treasury bills be worth to us if we are again placed under the domination of ignorance and rupacious greed, as in the davs of reconstruction? "It is folly to fly from ills we have to oth ers wo know not of." . What I have written is intend d for the good of the Alliance, and will received the calm con sideration of my conservative brethren. Extremists will de nounce it as treason. But the word has no more terror for me than it had for Ilampdr-n and rym, who stood up boldly for their constitutional rights. 1 plant myself on the impreg nated rock of the Constitution. and the pledge of my Alliance, and tn the language of Patrick Henry, who was also denounced as a traitor, I say "if this be treason, make the most of it." The coke strike is settled and 10,000 men will be at work at Scottdale Pa., to-morrow. He 178 Year OKI, But Wants to Marry Worst Than Ever. The Washington Star, has been publishing a symposium from prominent people on how to attain long life. Gen Cling- man, of North uarouna, in giv ing the opinion among many things, says: .. ; 'a ; 41 i "I will beseventy -eight years old in a few days and I am in perfect mental and physical health. I walk abtt three miles every day and! think I have been growing younger dur ing the last three yeaus. 1 find that mv nails erow faster and tougher, and the growth of my hair has increased. I think that the improvement of my health smce 1865 has been largely due to the use of an extract oft to bacco, which stimulates , the perspiratory and other organs and opens up the whole system. Iam a bachelor, , but l have wanted to get mar rind all my life and nrst fen m love at nvs, I have wanted to marry since then, and I want to marry now more than ever, but I can't af ford it." 1 : Coming Home. The Greensboro STorkman says: Mr. Julian crown, 01 Oranee county, who went to Siam several years ago with Dr. Ceeek as one of his experienced workmen in wood, has been or dered by his physiciiia tore- turn home on accomt 01 his health. So Mr. Brown aad his wife, who was Miss Forrest of Orange county, will reach home sometime in the near future. Their friends will be glad to see them. The distance they will have to travel is over 13,000 miles. News of this order reaches us through a friend at Oakland, Cal. - Will Durham Act? i Governor Holt has issued a letter to the county Commis sioners and Justices of the Peace in the various counties, calling their attention to the resolution passed by the recent Industrial Convention held in Raleigh. J He desires each county to be fully represented at the South ern Inter-State Expedition, to be held in Raleigh during Octo ber and November. He goes on to say that "ths Exhibit sent to the Exposition in this city will be preserved and used at Chica go in 1893 and in this way the counties making exhibits get the advantagsofshowingtheattrac- tions they have to oner capital ists, Manufacturers and Home Seekers at the two great Expo sitions. I will be glad to see the Justices of the Peace, in each county of the State, make such appropriations as will in sure a complete exhibit of the woods, minerals, agricultural products, fruits, vegetables and manufactured articles of all kinds, and such other things as will show to the world what a errand State we live in. The Southern Inter-States Exposi tion will be visited by many thousand people, and it will cer tainly should be a pride and a pleasure for every North Caro linian to see the great resources of his State properly shown to the visitors." We hope Durham county will act promptly and do her duty in this matter. It will be a fine opportunity to attract the at fcmtion of those who visit our State from a distance. It is reported that John L. Sullivan, the big brutal prize fighter, who, it is alleged, used to practice on nis wue aiter fillinz himself with bad liquor, will irive uo the ring. This will be sad news to that class of men whose moral and mental make-up disqualify them for participation is sport which is free from indecency and bru tality. Fife at Spartanburg.

Two children of Rev Mr. Johnson, pastor of the Metho dist Episcopal Church at Nich olsville, Ky , died very suddenly yesterday after eating goose berries, said to be this year in fested by poisonous insects. OUlt "CUOOL'J. . Youthful Traln'jis, 5JA corre.ipon lent .writi.11? to the Monroe Eiquirer-R -igiatet says: "The welfareof o'lrcoun try depends largely on the in tellectual and moral training of our youth. Is the general cus tom what it should be? Do we not find the children, ! absent from home ; frequently when neither father nor mother knows where they are? Do we not see parents frequenty send the children away and have, no re gard for their company, but seem only to rejoice becaus tney are away from home and all is ?uiet? - This is a sad state of af airs. ' The children can but trample your toes, now, but you neglect to train them as you should and soon, yea, too soon, thsy will trample upon your hearts, and bring your gray hairs in sorrow to the grave. Well has it been said "the teach er rules the world, he rules th9 children and the children rule their parents." Since the teacher occupies such a conspicuous part in the shaping of the minds and char acters of the children, and that on which future generations de pend, ought we not, therefore, be careful in the choice of teach ers? If we educate a child un der a fool have we not two fools instead of one? Truly the teacher is ' the nu cleus about which we cling, and upon which we rely. If we breathe pure and wholesome air our teachers must breathe pure and wholesome air. for we live as our teacher lived, and it is handed down from genera tion to generation. We get the very walk of our teacher, it he be immoral. then our chil dren are poisoned and the bright intellects which might have been so usetui, nave oe- come a dispoiler and their use. fulness is turael into a curse. Azain. children are permittod to read trashy literature and are led from all that is useful and good and ar 3 nothing better, but rather worse. O. that our children might listen to the warnings of age and be wise! If I could I would speak to all of the young peo. pie of America at once My voice should be heard from Maine to the Rocky mountains, and from ocean to ocean, would place the great cause of their country before them, and call up every noble feeling in their bos om. I would put the question to their hearts, can you content yourselves to follow at a distance the oppressions of slavish ignorance and sink into its polluting mire of debase ment, superstition, and crime? Can we expect anything noble when parents neglect their chil dren and fail to give them that goodly heritage which will bcht them for the emergencies of life and make them public bene factors, worthy 01 any trust that may bestowed upon them O. my dear lads, you are just enterinar the statre of manhood. full of life and heart cheering hope; perhaps you see your pa rents poor and decrepit, draw. mg near to their graves, their resting place; perhaps they have lived an honest life, and abhorred everything that had the shadow of evil in it. What shall you do to reverence their ashes whose heads have whit ened by the frost or many win tors? ' Arouse the children to noble sentiments and to co-labor with their parents, for any poo pie to be pious persons be unit ed, wise, and good. This de pends on the sclioohi; the most certain means of rendering a people free and happy is to es. tarnish a perfect method of education, it is impossible for a nation to be truly prosperous without good schools Younar men. are you poor and without the mean not launching on the billows of life in a gilded bark? Are your parents poor and unable to give you an eau cation or an outfit? Be not dis couraged on account of these thines.

Men must bend their energies to make realities if they would be called successful. The whole aecret lies in the word, work. Theories as theories are worth- gone.

It is work that telw. The man who goes through life idly gazing at the stars and reveling in iue ueugnts or pleasure, re gardless of the passing hours, cannot expect but to find that ho has suddenly grown old without accomplishing any thing. Hi very moment is of vital importance to the young man especially. Every hour that he wates due his business worth two in the future. Every extra hour that he gives his business sends him that far ahead of his competitors. Tae man who dreams will never succeed; the man who works is sure of success. The Jilortffasre.

Young Lady Outraged and Murdercd.i Louisville. Kv.. May 22. A story of a brutal outrage, mur der, and swift vengeance on the murderer, comes from Sandy Hook, a manufacturing town. near Ashland, in eastern Ken tucky. Near Sandy Hook, Maud Fleener cued recently from being thrown by her horse and outraged by George and John Wilcox, brothers, who had been her suitors, bhe had promised to marry Amos Queen, who had met her while she was teaching school near Sandy Hook, and about three weeks ago started to visit a friend near where she had taught. The Wilcox boys were passing the road she traveled, and saw her coming and hid in the bushes, and scared her horse. Her horse ran away: she was thrown and had both legs broken. The Wil cox boys picked her up uncon scious, revived her, drew straws as to which she should be com pelled to marry, bore her to a cabin, and demanded that she agree to marry John, to whose lot she fell. She refused and fainted. They kept her prison er in the cabin, and when found her by brother and affiance, she told about it and died. , Soon af ter an examination showed that she had been chained to the cabin wall, and had also had been outraged. The Wilcox'a were captured and confessed, whereupon they were shot to Jeath by her brother and lover. They explained, in confession, that they chained the girl be cause she had attempted to es cape. Miss fleener was a daughter of a prominent citizen of llichmond. Va., who moved to Sandy Hook some years ago and died mere. Mie was only twenty-ono years old, a church member and a Sunday school teacher.
