A WORD OP CAUTION.
The esteemed Herald, one of
our city papers which is renowned
because it is distinguished from
all other papers here, because it
never errs, says that the editor of
this paper is to be enjoined, re
stricted, restrained, and almost in
timates that we, and we means us,
and is not plural, is to be stopped,
as it were, in our mad and wild
desire to climb the greased and
slippery pole of fame.
That is to say, the esteemed
Herald gives it out lresh and flat
and cold that we are not to be al
lowed to run this paper.
We want all subscribers to dis-
thutly understand that the Re
corder is our property, and that it
will appear every Thursday, and
that no matter about what legal
proceedings may be taken against
one individual, that the pajier,
now seventy-six years old, will not
fall down, even though, this editor
should die or his assigns go to the
poor house.
This paper is here, and has been
here, and will stay here.
All the re orts to the effect that
an eminent undertaker is attempt
ing to resuscitate a corpse, has
nothing to do with the appearance
each week of this cheertul album
of song.
The people in Durham and Dur-
lam county understand that per
secution will not be tolerated, and
if the present editor is hanged some
one will take his place. Look for
the Recorder each week.

S A BARE-FACED SHAME !
Barbarity,
Inhumanity and Almost
Heathenism.
LET US CHANGE THE LAW
A Spectacle Which no Philo
sopher Can Explain, Which
Justice Cannot Condone,
and Which Suggested to
Deceney the Time to Call
a Halt.
Without any sentiment, with
out any supernatural knowledge ;
without possessing any Absolute
information concerning Physical
Law, we know, if the Bible is at
all correct, that woman was crea
ted and is so physically constitu
ted and constructed that it is im
possible for her to regularly per
form the functions and duties that
a man can regularly perform.
There are delicate periods in the
ife of a woman necessary to her
existence, when physical interfer
ence should not be tolerated or ex
pected and this the world knows
and all men know. 3So matter
whether that woman is black or
white, red or yellow. It is the
Femininity of Existence. It is
God's work and God knows. To
interfere with it is sacrilege. The
atheist, while denying God, mar
vels at God's productions. The
infidel, while not wonshpmg a
God does not even deny that Na
ture performs her many functions.
But the Law, which Dickens'
Beadle, in Oliver Twist, pronoun
ced with great solemuity "a ass,"
in Durham town recognizes nei
ther the Word of God, the Laws
of Humanity nor the Custom of
Commanche Indians in doling and
dealing out that unknown, un
measured and Intangible thing
which in the grim humor of its
erverseness we timidly call, yet
in wbijtr, Ji-stice !
To-wit :
One day last week we noticed
four women on a flat car from
which the rock crusher was being
fod, heaving stones which would
tax the strength of any man-
heaving stones side by side with
the male prisoners, under the
scorching rays of a burning, mid
day sun, straining every muxcle
and everv nerve. Tis true these
women were evil doers and lum
transgressed, and were there to
pay tho te!iaky. Tis also true
that under present ordinances the
mayor had no alternative he was
comtellcd to send them tliere,
The street commissioner, who has
charge of the prisoners, cannot
work one crowd at one place and
another crowd at another place,
so that he too, is helpless in the
matter.
The ordinances of this town
r.1.1 and nistv ami framed years
ago when thev burned witches uj
in New Kngland where it was a
crime fur a man to kiss his wife
on Sunday, where Barbarism sat
on her hideous hill of crime ami
with her villian ruled the world
then it was that we could ex
mt much fr,n l0?c 'n co,n
mand, ami then it was that those
under the yoke could expect but
little, yet ws do not blamo those
who now administer the law, nor
do we blame those who expect it,
But why not revise?
Our President, the chief execu
tive of the United Stales, gives to
congress his annual message, am
the world stands expectant to see
what he will recommend. In the
same way our governor addresses
the legislature, and we womi
what he will say. It is for mm
J - . -
the covernor, to point out the lame
laws, recommend tho passage of
new ones or tho repeal of old ones.
And sometimes alas! but some
times, the nation, through its
alleged statesmen, give heed and
profit by these suggestions.
But the municipality a corpo
ration dealing with local subjects
but no less important than state
or national affairs, and involving
no lcs3 the fate of individuals
which make a nation, seems to
think that the same antique,
rusty, befuddled and barbarous
aws which answered fifty years
ago are as good today, when the
torch of Reason and Humanity
ghts tho shady nooks of Incon
sistency and Injustice and gives a
lauce for those who get in the
dark to crowd out and see.
We do not think so. ; " "
No matter how much the woman
erred, how much she sinned, how
much she transgressed the laws.
Let her pay the last full measure
of the penalty of her crime, and
lave it understood that a viola
tion of the law by either sex is
equivalent to disgrace and con
stitutes the forfeiture of freedom
until the penalty is paid. Let it
be understood that crime is ob
noxious to any community, and
mt law, which in its fullest con
ception or pretense, is but a re
striction, will allow no idle mon
key work. But in doing this let
it be also well and freely under
stood that Durham is enterprising
and would rather wear the har
ness of progression than the yoke
itrogression. xi the city
council understand that it col-
ectively is a law-making body,
and let the president of that body
suggest for its careful considera
tion some defects which now ex
ist in that humerous publication
hich is called the City Ordi
nances.
We want to be understood con
cerning this matter. We blame
no one. We desire to blame no
one. We desire to merely point
out the defects of an existing
aw, and as a citizen suggest that
that law be remedied. Our propo
sition is so plain that he who runs
may read, and there is no reason
for him who reads to run. We
are not losing as the custodian
of Durham s morals nor are we
insinuating ourselves into extra
ordinary inquiries concerning her
hvsical welfare. But we merely
raiw our voice to loint out what
we call humanity and decency
mav not be out of place to
rcmemtar :
Paul said that woman was the
weaker vessel. But then he was
an old bachelor aud never niw
them heave rxk in Durham.
A com shelter will shell corn,
and a rck crusher will crusl
mens. The capacity of a woman
is limited the same as the capacity
of a machine is limited.
It is noticed that at a fire the
men do most of the lifting. They
are not under sentence either.
There are sidewalks in Durham
which the hoe could improve
Women who strain themselves to
lift rocks could use the hue i with
out harm and with equal profit to
the city.
All the railroads in America
were built by men. In Durham
the law reads that women slioul
iclp pave the streets.
Even ieople sentenced to the
enitentiary tor life are given the
lietielit of strict sanitary measure?
to preserve health, while in Dur
ham we arc destroying health.
In manv cities child labor ha
lieen prohibited lieratise of u hick
of sufficient strength to War the
burden imposed.
Tho siwtacle of the women on
the Hat car, throwing the stones
in the crusher, was an insult to
alt of the tender feelings of hu
manity. It was the iersoniflcatoi
of barbarism an.l brutality. It was
an exhibition of what Justice is
doing aiuT Justice should be
blindfolded no longer, lcar tlie
rag off her eyes aud let her see the
kinds and styles of inconsistencies
practiced in her name. The city
council of Durham can do the
business,
Any doctor in the city of Dur
ham will state that there are
requent periods in tho life of the
sex called famiuine when to do
the work which the hapless
woman, colored and degraded
lough they may have been, in
the flat car, were sentenced to doi
ould be a physical impossibility
if they cared to prcservo health,
and Mr. J. W. Christian, who had
lem in charge, said that he was
ashamed, to bo obliged to work
lem, on the grander principle of
humanity apart from the fact
at their male companions were
oltcn insolent aud insulting.
Yet tho mayor only enforces the
aw, and we oeiieve that
mayor Peay dislikes to sentence
women to such work, but if the
ork to be done is rock crushing,
at the time of sentence, then rock
crushing it must be.
So, in the name of humanity,
et the law be repealed, and one
more in accord with Decency aud
Justice hike its place.
E. K. Creel and B. F. Carpen
ter, of Trinity college, will en
deavor to introduce into every
home in Durham that work of
marked excellence and merit, "The
Cottage Physician."
To prevent disease, to relieve
the suffering, to heal the sick, and
to save life are the noblest pur
poses of man. To tell better how
to accomplish these great results in
more popular manner than is
told in "The Cottage Physician"
seems h?.rdly possible,
The work contains the best
things known to medical science,
so plainly expressed that almost
anyone can understand them. It
teaches the prevention and cure of
disease, and constitutes a mine of
wealth which may prove to anyone
having a copy at hand, more val
uble than money or friends.
Often a remedy timely applied,
and before a physician can be
called averts long sickness and fre
quently prevents death and heavy
expense
Unnumbered cases exist where
the patient has lost his life through
ignorance of the laws of health
The description of diseases and
how to distinguish them; what
remedies to use and how to apply
them: what to do in cases of emer
gency; what it says about poison
and their antidotes; the explana
tion of medical terms; its list of
remedies with their largest and
smallest dose; its description .of
medical plants whereby tkey are
easily recognized; its formula for
preparing many of the best patent
medicines at a greatly reduced
cost; what it says on hygiene and
disinfection, and many other
things, are all arranged so as to he
lUickly found and easily t::i
stood and make this lwok i.
cial valu? well defer, nu uie
name it t ats.
The instruction it jrives the
younir, especially about the rela
tion of sexes, is alone worth many
times the price of the entire vol
ume.
Messrs. Creel and Carpenter tll
take pleasure in explaining the
it e . . a
valuable features of this work to
all. Don't fail to give them
hearing.

NEXT CONGRESS.
Representative Cannon, of Illi
nois, says the New York Evening
Post, can scarcely be said to have
attained a national reputation as a
wise and conservative statesman,
hut the policy which he outlined
in a recent interview at Washing
ton would unite the country. ''The
Republicans," he said, "have got
the house, the populists have the
balance of power in the senate,
and Grover Cleveland is in the
white house. How, in heaven's
name, can anything be done in the
next congress, except to pass ap
propriation bills? I he only ad
ditional which can be suggested to
this platform in order to make it
ideally perfect, is that the appro
priation bills should appropriate as
little as possible. Between the tar
iff agitation aud the silver agita
tion, business men have had an
anxious time of it for a number of
years, and if they can have two
ears of peace, they wul appreciate
it. rortunately, Mr. lannon is
right; congress will be for the pres
ent incapable of much mischief.
After two years we may be ha
rassed again; but two years of pros
perity will do a great deal to calm
the disturbing elements.
4 MIXED CUP in KENTUCKY.
A more ridiculous body never
assembled than the so-called dem
ocratic state convention, of Ken
tucky, says the Wilmington Mes
senger, lienoia tne result 01 tneir
doing! They nominate a straight
out free silver coinage democrat
for governor, put him upon an ad
ministration single gold standard
platform, indorse all that Cleve
land and Carlisle have done ana
then go crazy with excitement. It
also had the sublime ignorance to
eulocize and indorse square out a
hieh protective tarin a tarin
loaded down with protection and
only some 3 per cent lower in av
erage than the monster McKinley
law it displaced, and really as high
or higher than the Garfield tariff
that democrats damned and de
nounced with all bitterness ot in-
ective. Such a convention, such
a platform, such a performance
and all in the name of democracy.
The republicans have a candidate
for governor who was lormeriy a
democrat, but he soured about
something and went out and over.
Can he beat free silver Hardin on
a single gold plank? Perhaps too
much old Bourbon got mixed in
the democratic cup.

A statement has been sent out
from the census bureau to the ef
fect that there are. 143 distinct de
nominations in the United States,
besides independent churches and
miscellaneous congregations. On
the same day that this statement
was made a dispatch from Rome
announced that Leo XIII. had de
clared to Cardinal Gibbons his
firm determination to pursue the
work of attempting to bring about
a complete union of Christian
churches. It is evident that the
venerable Pontiff is a man of pro
found faith. For nearly nineteen
hundred years now the gospel of
the Nazarene has been taught,
and yet there probably never was
a time when views as to what he
preached were so numerous and
divergent. This, however, does
not daunt the "prisoner ot the
Vatican." Armed with the faith
which subdues mountains, he
fondly cherishes the splendid
dream of a reunited christian
household. In this practical and
prosaic age it is refreshing to wit
ness such an example ot confi.
dence in humanity and the future.
SUMMER RELIGION.
In a recent work on foreign
missions, I find the following:
"When you return by the
Isthmus of Suez," said an excel
lent French priest whom I met in
Kobe, "you will fand more reh
gion lying along the banks of the
Suez Canal than you ever saw in
one place in your life."
"How can that be?" was my
amazed response.
"Why, all the Europeans who
come out here take off their reli
gion as they pass through and
leave it on the banks, where it
lies till they go back and put it on
again."
It seems to se that many peo
ple in this christian land leave
their religion at home when they
go into the country for the sum
mer. Perhaps they put into the
safe deposit company with their
silver and other valuables.
Every Sunday in summer, when
the time comes to go to church, I
see dozens of men sitting on the
piaza of our hotel reading Sunday
newspapers. Sometimes their
wives and daughters go to church,
but often they stay with the head
of the house, and have newspapers
of their own. And yet a very
large proportion of these people
go to church regularly when at
hone. What an example they
set to the villagers! My brethren,
these things ought not so to be.
