DURHAM RECORDER, E.C. HACK KEY, Editor. Pro. WEDNESDAY, June 10, 1891, THE PEOPLE'S MONEY. The unity of purpose which 'will mark the opening of the next Congress, not distured by the son-of gun Reed, augurs well for the fidelity of the Dem ocrats to their purpose. We believe the year 1892 is destined to do its work of national re generation. It can be done. Investigations should be the order of the day; everything Bhould be overhauled, and abuses exposed and corrected, speculators and defaulters call ed to an account, and robbers of the treasury made to dis gorge. The people will feel re lieved, when these investiga tors will put a stop to the ex travagant expenditure and ap - propriations of so many long years, and by putting a stop to them will made economy po sible and taxation bearable. The people have long yearned for endurable taxation. It is the people's money with which the administration and its pets have been playing with. It is the people's hard earnings that have wrung from them to fat ten the fortunes of a worthless set. The uprising of the hon est farmers was the first flash of that light which wiil ilium inate the whole country and in spire its hearts with hope that the end of such troubles is fast approaching. COLOKE1 CONVENTION. Tne Lake Mohonk Negro lereuce. Cod We see from a telegram 'to the Lynchburg Advance, dated Lake Mohonk, N. Y., June Cth, that the fourth session of the Lake Mohonk Negro Confer ference was marked by a spirit ed but fraternal debate on the race quest-on. The Rev. AL Phillips, a Southern delegate, made a ringing speech in favor of the education of the negro. The time had come when north ern teachers would no longer be ostracized by the Southern whites. He urged, however, that Northern teachers, while maintaining business relations with the colored people, should maintain social relations only with the whites. The Rev. Dr. Hall, of Brooklyn, as a South ernjman, disputed this position. President Hickman, of At lanta University, did not be lieve in flaunting the flag. He advocated the avoidence of pol itical irritation. M. John Glenn, of Baltimore, read a paper favoring compul sory education. At the fifth session, President Woodworth, of Tougaloo Uni versity, Mississippi, gave a valuable paper on the economic conditions of the colored people in Mississippi, which he thought were better than in any other State. This was largely be cause the people were essenti ally an agricultural people. There were six colored physi cians in the State, eleven edi tors, and cine colored lawyers. One of them has many white clients. In thee untry he should say that five per cent, own homes, and in the city about twenty per cent. He reported a gain in respect to temperance. He urged that the productive capacity of the negro should be increased by education. "Train the girls in household econo mies." "Provide facilities for saving and Investment. Professor Clark, of Smith College, Massachusetts, showed that the negro problem, if we put the right construction on the forthcoming volume of tne census is practically solved. It is in the nature of Democracy that the labor vote should count lie looked to see tne negro brought to the polls in a coach and four. He had expected that suffrage would come to the Argro before he was ready for it The president of the Confer ence, the Hon. Rutherford B. Hayes, spoke in favor of nation al education. . Tuc best temperance workers in town today are the throe fountains. At tlie Siime Old Trick. Harpers Weekly never fails to strike at the South if it has half an opportunity. In speak ing of the proposed monument to Jefferson Davis, it makes the following remarks: If the integrity of the union ia the primary interest of the country, it does not seem to be an evidence of unfaltering fidel ity to its interest to erect a monument to a man who sought to destroy the union. Because as a United States senator and secretary of war Mr. Davis used his influence to promote the spirit which led to the effort to overthrow the union, it should be suppossed that his memory will command patriotic respect and applause, is certainly ex traordinary. No one can com' plain that his friends should build his monument. But it should not be done as the mon umentof an American patriot, without protest. If a monument should be erected to Jefferson Davis for his services to his country, the statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln should be overthrown. There is positively no excuse for such comments as the above and only the partisan sheets of the North give vent to such paroxysms. Many of the more conservative journals of that section have been discussing this subject but they did it in fairness and admit that Mr. Davis rendered such distin guished services to the country that no objection could be made to a tribute to his memory in in the shape of a monument. We are going to build the monument to our honored dead and nothing that Harpers Weekly may have td say will keep us from it. The idea of overthrowing monuments al ready erected we would not be cruiltv of such a diabolical act, out we propose to build few more to our dead heroes. Mr. Blaine's reciprocity pol' icy that presents such alluring possibilities to the anxious gaze of many Republican politicians and manufacturers, was shown from the start to be upon Dem ocratic basis. It is no new thing under the sun. So far from this it is the Democratic policy as enunciated in 1884, and the Secretary of State has simply stolen Democratic thun der. The Louisville Courier Journal has this and it is worth noting: "In 1884 the conven tion which nominated Mr. Cleve land at Chicago adopted a so called "free trade" platform, in which the following declaration relative to reciprocity is found We favor an American conti nental policy, based on more in timate commercial and politi cal relations with fifteen sister remiblics of North. Central and South America, be entangling alliances with none." Have you ever thought of the fact that the progress and wealth of the world is largely we may say vastlydue those who give thought, time and money to new industries' They forge ahead and blaze the way for others to follow and reao the rewards. Those who hold back, hunt for -ay places for themselves and families ieek perfectly safe places for their capital, at a big per cent in what has already been e tablished, are not the greatest benefactors of mankind, or the leaders in the pathway of true enjoyable wealth. Lowell wrote a poem once, Two lines of that particular poem ran this way! "Ah, what is so rare as a day In June! Then, if ever, come perfect days." Ws are having a differ ent article of J une. If to sit by a fire, or go out in cold, driving rain is a perfect day. Lowe is not up with the times. March could do as well as June. Will Durham be at (ho Jla eigh Exposition and the World'i Fair, Chicago? That's the ques tion. She will if our peopl will unite and nay she small be Uiere attired in her best dress 'and trimmings. Boyi, Don't Do It Agaut. i In passing along one , of our 8 Greets yesterday afternoon, we were deeply grieved to over hear a group of boys, not yet out of their teens, giving vent to the most profane language Now boys don't be guilty of such expressions again. All the words needed to express in dignation and wrath are found in our language and why resort to such profane and vulgar lan guage. Perhaps you think it is manly to make use of such words but you are very much mistaken. An oath never strengthens or emphasises an assertion and swearing is areaatui nabit that will grow upon you as you get older. unce into its ciutcnes it is an exceedingly difficult matter to free yourself from its iron grip, t is extremely wicked, but caving the wickedness out of the question, it is useless and irrational, for. it brings no pleasure nor comfort. It is imagined by some of our youthsjthat occasional oaths and little vulgarity thrown in gives spice to a conversation- it may be so if you are talking to profane and vulgar minded persons, out sucn ; expressions are quite offensive to people of refinement. You would be dis gusted witn yourselves if you should happen to see your con venations in print with the coarse and vulgar words and oaths all along the line of your remarks It is just as cheap to express your thoughts with chaste and simple language and certainly more becoming to boys of your age. : Great Scott! Is the country again to go through what so nauseated the average news paper reader during the first half 1888; when, one day flam ing headlines would tell us that Blaine was at death's door, and the next we would be informed. by the same methods, that he whs in good health. There .ire indications that Mr. Blaine's health is again to be made the football of the sensational press. Gentlemen, in the name of hu manity let up. We are politi' cally opposed to Mr. Blaine, but that is no reason lor torturing him slowly to death from i complication of all the imagin ary diseases, mere is no man so strong that he cannot oe killed by such methods; but the methods are worthy only of savages. Divorce cases the country over are too numerous to men tion. Just what is combining to destroy the sanctity of the home and family circle it is pretty hard to determine, but the ease with which divorces are secured nowadays and the spirit of discontent which is everywhere rampant in the country and among all condi tions of people are no doubt potent factors in the unceasing round of conjugal separations How is this for a matrimonial advertisement? A stamp oollec tor, the possessor of a collection of 12,511 stamps, wishes to mar ry a lady who is an ardent col lector and the possessor of the blue penny stamp of Mauritius issued in 1847." It appears in the Monitour of the island ol Mauritius, and the stamp which the young lady must possess is valued at about 1,000 on ac count of its rarity.

It was rumored that there tfaa quite a row yeaterday between the colored excursionists who went to Clarksville, and a number of colored men at that place. A reporter failed to find out much about it this morn ing, as no one seemed to care to talk about it. There was a free fight however, in which about two dozen lent a hand, and some of them were pretty badly beaten up, but no one was seriously hurt. The colored peo ple here say that some Oxford dar kies and Clarksville darkies did all the fighting: ' The best information obtainable is that a bar keeper there sold whiskey that made a lot of darkeys sick, and, as they thought, poisoned them They started a row about it, and the juicery man called on the Clarks. ille darkeys for help. A fight followed, and the fire water fanned the flames, When the train was pulling out for Durham, a volley was fired into it, but no one was hit. . ' AN INDIAN MAUKIAGK. The Daughter of Chief Smith Id to the Alter. Wednesday was a gala day at the training school on the Indian Reservation m bwam county Any one approaching the picturesque heau-quarters would, from a distance, have observed notes from a brass band, echoing through the mountain valleys. A nearer approach would have disclosed the children of the well ordered school in holiday attire and many signs of some unusual event, which was nothing less than the marriage of aiiss Lot tie, the third daughter of Chief N. J. bmith, to Capt. John r. rattee, recently graduated from the well known school at Hamp ton, Va. The nuptial ceremony took, place at 7 o'clock in the evening and was performed by the Kev. William a. Harrows, minister-in-charge of Grace church,, Waynesville. The service used was that in the Episcopal prayer book, both bride and groom being members of the Episcopal church. The bride is not only tamed lor her beauty and accomplishments, but also for the more enduring attractions ox "worth and truth.'. The groom, who is a Sioux, has distinguished himself in many wars throughout his course at Hampton, (where the bride also studied) but, it is safe to say, in no way more than by the winning of this coveted Cherokee prize. Tbe couple liave every body's best wishes and will in a few days start for South Dakota where Capt. Pattee's projwrty and in terests are. Special to ,. she- vuie Citizen.
