The abuses of the pension system furnibh another apt il lustration of the evils sure to follow such a system of legis lation. . If congress was to levy taxes upon the people to confer bounties upon certain classes of manufacturers, it was very nat ural that the pension agents should also join hands to in crease their fees by an indis criminate granting of pensions. The result is that nearly a gen eration after the close of war there is a steady increase of the vast sums passing through the pension . agents hands, until no the total amount staggers belief, and has Locome of itself a very serious burden upon the treasury. From the day , of Lee's surrender until now "no single voice has ever been rais ed against the most generous E revision for every person who ad any just claim upon the gratitude of the country, but surely there is neither reason nor justice in legislation which destroys all distinction between the discharge of duty and the shirking of it, between loyal service and desertion of the colors, between wounds received in battio and diseases contract ed in the pursuits of peace.

Druggist, Durham. Have You TUousht of It? Every one complains of hard times. Every one. feels how hard it is to get along and mike both ends meet. A large majority of us have to struggle to keep the "wolf from the door" and to provide the sheer necessities of life without any of its luxuries, and this too in a land of plenty. There are cases of fault from idleness and improvidence, but these are the exceptions and not the rule where the great body of our people dig and sweat day m ana day out tne year tnrougn for the plain food necessary to satisfy the cravings of hunger and the plain clothes to cover their nakedness. The people who do and suffer these things, pay to the United States government nearly five hundred millions 'of dollars a year in taxes besides all of their state and local taxes. Last year and year before this amount was appropriated and every cent of it comes directly or indirectly from the people. ma you ever aiiempi 10 imag ine such a sum of money? A million dollars in gold weigh 3,635 pounds, or in silver 58,- 630 pounds. The expenditure for one year tnn " paia in goia would amount to 1,842,500 pounds, or , 921 tons, or that many two-horse wagon loads. In silver 29,315,000 pounds, or 15.6571 two-horse wagon loads. This is what the people pay each year to the federal govern ment. Allowing iwenty-ne feet for the length of a two horse wagon and team and ten feet for the necessary space be tween them, it would make a wagon train to haul the silver a fraction over ninetv-seven miles long. Counting the travel of the wazon train at twenty miles a day the train to haul in silver what the people pay in a year, would be five days in passing a given point. From this you may have some conception of the cause of hard times and the privations you suffer under, the Republican administration and its oppressive and exacting McKinley tariff. There are many old soldiers who have seen-some long wagon trains but none of them ever saw one like this. Ak Albean (Kan.) man adver tised that he would like to buy a second hand lawn mower, and to address "X. L." post- oftice. He received one answer that struck him favorably, and after corresponding some time, hunted the party up ana xouna it to bo his wife who was try. ing to sell him their old one. Mk. Cleveland believes "public oificials are the agents of the people," but judging from the egotistical letter of President Harrison, , no one would suppose that he regarded himself as an agent of people.

Not that they do no know what is right oh, dear no, they are j'ust as well' aware of the correct thing and the incorrect one as the preucher who pens these lines. Hut young girls are so skittish. Like toousn young cons, mey sim ply revel in silly ' little antics that may seem the purest fun in the world, yet fraught with danger to themselves and to others. . , We know what we are talk ing about, for it isn't, such an ago since we were disposed to do just such things becanse ''it would be such a lark' but thank goodness none of the larks turned out vultures, as they were liable to do, for these innocent escapades sometimes terminate in disaster, undream ed of when entered into as a vent for the sugerfluous spirits of youth. liirls, be jolly; nave ail tne fun you can get out of this life, but don't be wild. Tou can't afford it. A woman's reputa tion , is blasted by one little foolish action therefore look well to your ways. Do not smoke cigarettes in order to in fuse a little air of real wicked ness into your girl gatherings; do not smile at strange men in the street or elsewhere; do not go to places of amusement wnich you have been forbidden to attend and think the surrep titious peeps through drawn curtains add zest to the perfor mance. The day will come when you will regret such es capades and a blush will mount to the very roots of your hair at the remembrance. Just be sweet, pure, womanly girls, never do mg anyiuing you wouia oe as hamed to have mother know or saying anything you would not want mother to hear, and we promise you that, nwin will ad mire you more, women will trust you more and your own conscience will rest more easily than when you are doing those things that seem at the time so delightful because at variance with what your kittenish euer vescence teim your puritanical restrictions. Crisp nutl Casii 'l. There are nearly. 119,000,000 old copper pennies lying un used somewhere. The tot;il number of families in the United States 18'J was 12,690,152. There are 200,000 men em ployed upon the 23,000 papers published in America. Only one ten thousand dollar legal tender note out of an issue of 4,000 is now extant. Of the public school teachers in the united Mates more than 61 per cent, are women. Four million people have al ready grasped Corbett's hand and declared that he's no great shakes. In order that peace may con tinue uninterrupted Europe is making vigorous preparations for war. The first ice cream venders in England were Neapolitan peas antryof the poorest type, but tne venders now come from all parts of Italy, many being na tives of the most remote country districts. Here is something wrong. Tne lacpublicans, even men as smart as McKinley, have been telling us that "the foreign manufacturer pays the tariff.? Then why does Jerry Rusk, of taie Agricultural Department, ask for an additional appropna tion off 15,000 to pay for im ported articles used in bis no- partment, "the cost of which," he says, "has been increased by the McKinley law." If the foreigner pays this increased cost, how does it coma that Jerry wants to pay it, too r : a I la-iiii naT.aai I ii I ill I Candidate Harrison wants a "commission" to look after Federal elections. It will be remembered that we had "commission" a few years ago to look after Mr. Tilden's elec tion. No mora commissions. The widely circulated story to the effect that tho man who invented rubber tips for pencils made fsoo.ooo is contradicted by a Philadelphia paper. The inventor, it says, got little or nothing. It was somebody else who got the money, mat sounds mora probable. One of I'iuii'm. Jol. cs. Babe Boston's mule was sick and a neighbor advised him to administer calomel. "How will I get it into him?" asked Babe. "Put it in a quill in his mouth and blow it down his throat," responded tho neighbor. The neighbor met him two or throe 'days afterwards. Babe was as thin as a rail, looked right green and was all doubled "What's the matter witn you?" asked the neighbor. Babe placed his hand pathet ically over his stomach, gave a sigh like a blacksmith's bel lows with a hole in it and said : "The durn mule b'o wed fust." It is proper to remind you again that it is necessary for you to .egister in order to vote in the coming election. The high protective tariff, which enriches a few at the expense of the many, will die hard, but its death is certain all the same. Governor McKinley is will ing to boom .tinplate in his speeches, but when it comes to investing his money her very wisely declines. The opinions of many Re publicans have undergone a de cided change of late concerning the breaking up of the "Solid Souih." They will change about other section before long. Sherman Hoar is vigorously attacking the McKinley tariff and the force bill in Massachu setts. His uncle, Senator Hoar, of the sanir State, is an uncom promising advocate of both evils. Republicans originated many disreputable political methods, but few of them are worse than the use of detectives, on the Government pay-rolls, to spy upon the actions of prominent Democrats, now going on. . Th2 grand - jury has made some suggestions in regard to the accommodations in the jail, and a suitable place for the insane. It is now in order for the county commissioners to consider their suggestions People who have specifics for cholera are becoming annoy ingly numerous just now. It is better to prevent tho disease than to cure it, and the way to prevent it is for each citizen to constitute hiinsdf his own sani tary inspector to see that his person, his clothing and his surroundings are kept clean, that his diet is cleanly and rational and that medical at tendance is promptly procured in case .of illness. S'tC I trill-. The Rockingham Rocket says the Third party is fast playing out in Kichmoud county. The Review says that a color ed Democratic club of forty members has been formed in Wilmington. The colored men organized it of their own voli tion and not at tho instance of white Democrats. The Laurinburg Exchange says that uapt. Alexander and Mr. Weill are now doing the best and mont effective work of the campaign in Rich mond county. They spoke at Spring Hill Monday and the Exchange does not believe that there will be three Third party votes cast in that townhip. Tho Wilfcesboro Chronicle has proofs which are satisfacto ry to it that the Republican revenue officers of Wilkes county have been assessed $25 apiece for campaign purposes, and says that there are enough of them to raise over $1,100. as sessed upon this bar is. There was a great gathering of them at Wilkesboro Monday and the fat fried merrily. The Greenville Reflector says that A. A.

Not being able to appro hend the party who was so much interested In hisproierty, he determined to look it up. So he bored soma holes in a few blocks, filled them with giant powder and closed them tightly. About 7 o'clock Sunday even ing ho heard an unusual noise in a neighboring cabin, and upon investigation he got some wanted information. As he went in tho door he discovered the mistress of the household and guests industriously fight ing hre. Coals were on the bed and under tha bad, the gar ments of all were smoking and and burning, and all wondering wnat was the matter with the fire. Further investigation showed a coffco pot that was on the fire was missing and rumor has it, the missing ves sel has not yet been found.

But oh what mem'rys round thee dwell Of bloody scenes you might relate, Of gallant comrades too who tell. Defending home and native btate. Now all these bloody scenes are o'er, Still memory never will for- get The Toyed ones that we'll see no more. . Still, you old pipe, are with me yet.

A great many people cherish fixed beliefs in the moon s pow er to regulate matters down here on earth. It was during a re cent cool wave that an ardent debate took place as to whether a frost in the light of the moon was calculated to do damage in the early part of the spring or autumn, borne of the moon adherents argued that a frost was harmless m the light of the moon and the others declared it was vice versa. No frost come along to decide the matter either affirmatively or negative ly and so neither side has been forced to change its convictions. Another thing dependent upou the moon is the planting of veg etables. Even this enlightened age there are people who stake their hopes of a good potato crop solely on the time of the moon in which the murphies were put into the ground. Long years ago fchaksperes Juliet admonished Romeo to "swear not by the moon, the iuconstant moon which monthly changes in its phases," but there are a vast multitude of Romeo's who still swear by the moon, and young ladies have even been known to change the date of their wedding day because it railed to coincide wan the pe riod at which the moon i s up posed to bss propitious to happy nuptials.

The Hickory Bulletin says that Robert Bowman, of Alex ander, and Mrs. Tina Teague, a widow of two months, were united in the holy bonds of mat rimony at Hfckory Thursday. Tho Hickory Bulletin says that Thursday at the Monran- ton fair a collision of two horses and sulkies occurred in which Mr. J. L. Charles, of Newton, was seriously injured. His. ankle was badly bruised and in ternal injuries are seared. The Fayetteville Gazette says that in Harnett county there lives a man, himself one of twins, who married onoof twins. His mother is the mother of ton children, five boys and five girls. So is tier's. His mother twice gave birth to twins, as did her's also. The Wilmington Star learns that the Blue Ridge Inn at Mount Airy caught on fire Thursday morning about 8 o'clock from a defective liue. The fire did not make much headway, only burning part of the kitchen and dining room. The loss was estimated at about $500; fully covered by insur ance. A Raleighite, who has just re turned from the West, says that recently he visited Dr. Mitchell's tomb, and regretted to find that it had been multi lated and damaged with an axe. As the News and Observer says: "The spot is so remote and in accessible that oroDer care can hardly be kept of the tomb, but it is abominable that any one should seek to injure it." At Owasso, Michigan, John aimer, a brutal wife beater. was warned by his fellow work men to cease maltreating his wife. Disregarding their warn ing, he was tied to a stake and beaten until his abused wife begged for his release. From 1850 to ISOOthe country enjoyed tho advantages of a low tanil tor revenue only. During that period the wealth of the country increased one hundred and twenty-six per cent, and tho capital invested in manuiaciures increaseu over ninety per cent. In that pro portion a return of the country 10 a lanu lor revenue oasis would be of benefit. That's the Democratic idea and hope aud promiso. Strikes for wages were a novelty in those diys, and farm mortgages were scarce. Mrs. Lease, the female ora tor who was introduced in the arena of politics in the South, did not prove eminently success ful as a vote-catcner. Mnce her return to Kansas she has gone over to the support of Harrison. bat does the Peo ple's party think of that? Left poor old weaver to ngnt nis own battles, wen, if sue could not stand Weaver and his party and see them out, they must be in a bad row for stumps. If the Republican trio now stumping the State Furches, Amis and Blackburn will keep it up a much larger Democratic majority will be insured in Jsorth Carolina, such outrage ous speeches have never before been heard in Durham. They were full of wild and false state ments, the most absurd and re diculous propositions. Doubt ing people have only to hear them to decide that Democracy is right after all. The National Protective As sociation of Colored Men met in convention at Indianapolis recently. In the resolutions adopted they denounce Harrison and the force bill, and declare that the colored man is in no nense a beneficiary under a high tariff and that his condition would be much better under a tariff fur revenue only. Governor McKinley thinks there is danger for the Republi cans in Ohio unless something is done to dispel the apathy cf the voters. McKinleyism has proved itself a fraud and its author is alarmed becaune he doesn't know what steps to take to hoodwink the enlightend farmers and laboring men who are repudiating the Republican party and indentifying them selves with the Democratic par ty. Piiesidest Harrison's re marks about a "non-partisan commission" reminds us of lalleyranl's maxim that lan guage is an instrument for tha concealment of thought. Is London wheat is soiling at ll.and $103 a bushel. If in free trado England wheat sells for f I. a bushel and in the pro tected United States for 70 cents a bushel, what good is a protective tariff to the American farmer? How does protection protect?
