A recent Act ot Congress mak ing it unlawful to use the United States flg for any advertising purposes, has been very violently construed by some sensative par tisans who assume that a political party is excluded lrotn hoisting the stars and stripes with the names o their candidates thereon. lne Prohihitionipt ot Kennett Sanare lately flung out tbjeir flag to the bretze with the names ot Bid well and Cr id field, their national can- d dates, attached to it. This aroused the anti-prohibitionists, who noti fied those who had hoisted the flag that it must be taken down or the i aiies ot their candidates effaced f otn it. The prohibitionists being law abiding people took down their flag. Since then the question has i : 1 i . ml, UWU raievu 1U . uuceui wuinw an enthusiastic., supporter of Cleve- land has twtifttitd the flair over his hotel on which he had a strip of muslin containing the names of Cleveland and Stevenson, and he has been notified by the perturbed Republicans that this flag must come down or the names of hie candidates erased. It seems like an , absurdity, to aes snme that the use of the United States flag by political parties could be any abuse of that sacred emblem of our nationality ; and while we do not assume to con etrue the law, we doubt whether any court would entertain the 3uestion of forbidding the use ojf ags by political parties however cohered with the names of candi dates or declarations of principles.' On the contrary, it 5b highly com mendable for all parties to assert their devotion to the flag of our common country, and the use of it should be encouraged rather thap hindered by our national laws. The American flag should be every-j-wherc; in business, in politics, in homes, on highways, on mountain tops, in the valleys, over our schools, colleges and churches, where it was seen during the try ing times of our civil war, and we do not for a moment entertain the belief that Congress meant to pro? hibit the use of the flag for any such pnrpoees. - j If this severe construction of the law can be maintained, no party procession or club headquarters, of party headquarters of any kind can use the flag pt the nation to in spire their followers, and all buei ness houses would be precluded from from attracting attention to their establishment by the stars and stripes unless they effaced every thing relation tobusiness.lt is simply an absurdity, and we sincerely re trret that the Prohibitionists of Kennett Square did not defy their disgruntled neighbors until the decree of the court commanded them to surrender their flag con taining the names of the candidates. Of course, the nee of the flag could be abused for advertising purposes', but all political action in this coun try is presumed to be patriotic. It is meant to De honest in support ot the flag of the Union, and there is no more fitting emblem of patriotic people of every faith to hoist over their marching columns or on TV W IU UHU1VO VI MJ6M candidates, than the stars and stripes of the Repnblic Phila.

Cholera has landed and the business of New York goes on exactly as if it had not. .Cars are as crowded with E assert gers and the streets as badly locked- with . cart-loads of mei chandise, as they were-on this day of the week one year ago, which means that the heaviest trade ever known at this season : is ; now in croeresa.

" Rnt manv tieoDle are afraid that all other people will be efmifi. .nd conseauennr SDecniai- ive markets have declined. There has been much talk about the pestilence as an excuse for lower prices in breadstuff's and cotton, but the fact ia that enormous stocks brought over from last year affords sufficient reason for exceedingly low prices. In cotton there has been heavy selling and September options are below 7 cents, though the price of spot cotton is unchanged. Trade at Louisville is improving, at Wash vi He is fair, and ft Little Rock is Satisfactory, while at Mont gomery caution" prevails, and' at Galveston the late cotton crop causes slow collection, though trade otherwise improver. At New Orleans business is only fair and money is in strong de mand, but cotton is active and strong. Iron is more 6teady, the output, September 1st, being only 151,64:8 tons, against 155,136 Aug ust 1st, and unsold. The stock has been reduced about 63,000 tons. The demand for structural iron is very encouraging and plate mil 1b are well suplied, but quotations are vanable and bar iron is unsettled v i . in ary gooas there baa been a notable increase in the cumber of buyers and the market is more nearly bare of wocllen goods than .a j rirSt it nas oeen ior years, i nere is a heavy demand for cotton and rne- dinm bleeched goods are higher, with browns firm.

POLITICAL BRICK BATS. It must be that while Marion Butler (who draws pay as President f the J armers Alliance) is out stumping for Weaver, he lets the boys in his office do the writing, ox which the following is a brilliant interrogative specimen: "The Democratic machine ana its supporters and sympathizers are highly elated because the liepubli- cans hav put out a State ticket. Why is this? W e pause for an answer Marion, himself, has written some very foolish things lately, but it discredits his intelligence to sup pose that he would coolly ad de liberately propound and publish in his paper such a silly inquiry as the bove. But it is possible neverthe less, for ever since he flopped he has shown a decided lack of mental balance, in trying to how that he is a pure and unselfish patriot, wil ling to immolate himself for the dear people, and that Le has loaded uo more "principle" in the past few weeks than he toted in all. ma lite previous to his flop. But if he did ask it and still "pauses" for a reply we would suggest thst a level-head- ed'general who goes out to meet op. posing armies, which combined may outnumber him, would be "highly elated" to see him split in two under rival leadership, and go to pegging at each other, while they are pegging at him, and then, like a level-headed fellow, he'll go in and wallop 'em both in detail. , Marion should no longer "pause for an answer. The indications are that Dr. Ex- nm, the Third party candidate for j Governor, wi'l withdraw from the canvass, as he has given up all hope of being elected since the Republi cans have put a ticket in the field. ! JtLe puts the voting strength of the Third.'party at 15,000; 10,0C0 of whom, he savs, in I the event the Third party ticket was withdrawn, would vote with the Democrats .and 5,000 with the Republicans, which would, in his opinion, give the vic tory to the Democrats. Although he intimates that he will withdraw when convinced that his remaing in the field may contribute to Republi cans succesB he does not directly say so, but as he says he would-- regard Republican success as a calamity to the State, he .cannot be .long in doubt as to the course he should pur sue." It is evident from the tone of his conversation that he ia disap pointed in the outcome of events, that he expected Republican sup port, that he is not at all satisfied with the position , in which he is placed, that he is making the can- vass mucn against nis own inclina tions, and that if he acted " an his own volition alone he would ; -with draw from the, field at . once Wil.

Senator Hill will open the Cleve land campaign in Brooklyn on next, Monday when he will speak for the success of tlie Democratic ticket. It was in Brooklyn that he made the of. quoted declaration "I am a Dem ocrat," and the echo of that de liverance . will doubtlefis be the text of hie speech on Monday. Piatt aijd Miller have fallen in with the Harrison procession, and Piatt came In, like Hill, with the explanation4-"I am a Republican," The discordant elements of both sides in New York have smoked the pipe of peace with their obnox ious Presidential candidates, and it has come down to a square party battle in the Empire State.

There is no mistaking the atti tude of Blaiue in the battle. He meace that the country shall. know of his purpose n,ot to aid Harrison's re-election by speech or vote, and the appalling loss of Republican majority in the late Maine State election, is now reasonably certain to be repeated with equal or greater emphasis in November. Blaine is the solitary sulker among the great leaders, but there are many thou sands of the rank and file who will sulk with him on Presidential election day. Phila. Times. Peary's Snccessful Expedition. Everybody will be heartily glad to read of the return of Lieutenant Peary and his heroic wife, along with all but one ot the members of the Arctic exploring party sent out by the Academy of Natural Sci ences. The safe return of the party promptly on .time marks the Peary expedition as exceptional, not only in the comparative ease and comfort with which its mem bers withstood the hardships of the Arctic winter, but in what they accomplished. Lieutenant Peary, with one com panion and a sledge team, made a journey ot more than buu miles due northeast irom his winter quarters at the head of Melville Bay, and claims to have reached the highest point yet penetrated by civilized man en the east coast of Greenland, Independence Bay, in latitude 82 north, lhe long iourj ney and return were made without accident and 'so nicely timed as to greet the rescue party from the Kite while they were erecting the second signal pole. In a general way it is known that the Peary party have made- a valuable collection, which will add much to the world's knowledge of the geography, geology and ethno logy of this far northern section which will be aaaea to ino rich collection already possessed by the Academy of Natural Sciences, Of the items; in detail and of the events , and discoveries of Lieut tenant Peary's . long and lonely journey notnmg can oe Known nntil he is ready to puonsn a detailed statement, hor the pres- ent the public will be content to reiolce that Peary and hs party are safe, but there will be an eager lookincr forward to the publication of the results of what all will agree to have been one ot the most daring expeditions undertaken by man. There is nothing so successful as success, but an intelligent consid eration of the plan of the Peary exped ition BhowB it to The Kite, a 8 team whaling vessel, took the party in the midsummer of 1891 to the head of Melville: Bay,.- as far north as a ship can usually go with safe y, landed it with materials for a house, fuel enough to ' keep ' the party warm daring the long Arctic winter and provisions sufficient for a period of a year and a half. The party put up the house and rester in comfort dr.ring the long Arctie winter and Lieutenant Peary, with one companion vigorous in health, made the long journey over the ice and snow, their provisions and equipment carried by a dog team, the one method ot locomotion nat ural to that ice-bound section. There was no risk of vessels crushed in the ice, the party was too small to exhaust its store of- provisions and die of starvation, and while the journey must have teen lonely beyond human power to imagine, it is easy to see now that it was made with the minimum of dan ger. Lieutenant Peary deserves the ! highest credit for the boldness of hia design and t'le courage dis played in its execution. There will be those who will contend that the results of any further explora tion of the Arctic regions will net warrant either the lisk or the ex pense incurred as long as there is any thing left to be discovered. This being the case, it is best tnat the risk shall be reduced to the lowest possible point by the adoption of a -method ot explora tion best adapted to this section. Lieutenant Peary's method seems to meet this requirement, and is likely to be adopted and improved upon in all Arctic explorations. ror the present Lieutenant Peary and his heroic wife will be Eocial and scientific lions of the season, and deservedly so. . It may have been an unnecessary risk for the one to take or the other to share, but the world will rightly admire the courage of the husband and the constancy ot his wife in sharing his danger. There is not any too much of either displayed in these times, and the example of Lien tenant Peary and his wite will have a stimulating effect upon a luxurious and ease-loving age, Phila. Times. A Rattlesnake Plajfue, Two gentlemen of Wilmington who have been down in Shallotte township, Brunswick county, about htty-hve miles from this city, bring toe news that tnere is mnn alarm in that townshipovcr a rattlesnake plague, ihere has been very lit tle rain in that . section recently and a bay in the vicinity of Mr. Valentine Smith's . place has be come almost dry. This bay is infested with the monster rattler snakes peculiar to this section and they have gone out of the bay and crawled all through the neighbor hood. Within the past sixty days three negroes and one white woman have been bitten and killed by these vencmous reptiles besides scores of horses and cattle. Mr. 11. U. bmith lossed a fine mule a few days ago, and many dogs have been killed by the bite ot the rattlers. The snakes crawl into the residence in many instances and many haye been killed in and under thecabinB of the negroes. The white woman who was bitten heard a noise in her house, and got up to see what it was and was bitten as soon as she got on to the floor. She died in terrible sgony within a few hours. The fatality among cattle is especially great and the people have to keep their cows penned np at home to prevent them from grazing on the borders ot the bay. A number of persons have be come panic stricken and moved away from the vicinity of the bay, which is near Waccamaw river. People who drive along the road can hear the wicked, singing of the snakes' rattles in the grass and j bushed and many large snakes have been killed in the roads. The informant of the Messenger drovo along a portion of the road near the bay spoken of and they; heard several snakes rattling as their ve hicles stirred them from their lair. Some of the snake , in this sec tion are of enormous size and five-feetone-inchratler- killed two miles from the city a day or two ago is a pigmy alongside of some of these Shallotte reptiles. The story told by the two gentlemen is true in every respect, except that they cannot vouch for a statement made by one of the residents that a huge rattler with sixty-three rattlers and a button was killed there a few days ago. This was told to them by a reliable man and if it is true, this is the oldest snake ever heard of in this part of the country. The statement, however, that four per sons and numbers: of horses, cattle and dogs . haye been bitten, and killed, is absoluthly true and vouched for, and there is no diffi culty in believing it when every body about here well knows what enormous rattlesnakes are often killed even within a few miles of Wilmington.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS. The two great objects sought to be accomplished by North Carolina Republicans in the November elec tion are.: First The election of the Har rison Electors. Secokd The destruction of the Democratic party of North Car olina. In our opinion these two objects could have been obtained by the He publicans refusing to nominate a ticket for Governor, and other State officers, and by supporting the candidates of the People's party for State and county officers and mem bers of the Legislature, and by voting solidly for the Harrison Electors. If this course had been followed the Harrison Electors would have re ceived a large plurality of the votes, and the People's party ticket for Governor and State officers would have also received a plurality of the votes, and the Democrats would have been in a minority in both Houses of the Legislature. The Legislature thus elected- would have amended the election law so a to compel an honest election in every particular. With such a law in force the Republicans at ti e elec tion in November, i'Ji, would carry the State if they really have a ma jority of the voters. Having lost the State in every election since 1872, the Republicans hud nothiug to lose by adopting this policy and all to gain. Dr. Mott, Judge Rus sell, the Sigmil, and all tholnflu ence that could be used failed to "m press the Eaves faction with the wisdom of this policy, and the Dem ocratic Annex on last Wednesday put out a full ticket. Now, what is the duty of every Republican who opposed the nomination of a ticket, and who believes that the nomina tion puts in deadly peril the elec toral vote, and may prevent Repub lican success in this State for a gen eration ? Onr advice is to vote against; the Democratic Annex headed by David M. Furches. Vote for the ticket headed by W. P. Exum, as a matter of principle, in order to secure the two main results which are para mount with eveey Republican, to wit: Fikst To secure the electoral vote for Mr. Harrison. Second To secure the destruc tion of the Democratic party in North Carolina. The ticket headed by Furches is simply and solely an auxiliary to the Democratic party, in the language of Dr. Mott it is really "a teaser to rouse the shackling energies of the old Bourbon Horse." The very men who forced the nominations know full well thit the ticket cannot be elected, they do not expect that it will be elected; they know to a cer tainty that it cannot get more votes than Charles Price got two years ago. .Possessed with this Knowledge why thev insisted on nominating a ticket, is a mystery to every man who is endowed with any political sense. ' A large number of Republicans both white and colored, . have al ready allied themselves with the People's party, and will not vote for the Furches ticket. They . do not , propose to help the Democrats to elect their ticket by throwing their votes away. , . , What more can the Republicans desire? The Democratic party cannot be defeated by the Republican party alone. The Democratic party cannot be defeated by the People's party alone. ' ' '. ": ' "' The Democratic party can be de feated by a union of the Republican and People's parties. In union there is strength. The Republicans and People's party men cannot divide and conquer. Thoroughly united they can carry this State by fifty thousand. We ask teem to unite and' make common cause against the common enemy. : For twenty-five yearB the editor of the Signal has supported the Repub lican party in every contest. Dur ing that time we have never scrat ched a ticket. We did not act without deliberation when we de clared that we would not support a State ticket if nominated by the Annex Democrats. Knowing as we do that the nomination of the - Fur ches ticket h&a a strong tendency to lose Mr. Harrison the Electoral yote and ruin foreyer the Republi can party of North Carolina, it is our duty to oppose this ticket and to do all we;au to briug about 3 crushing .defeat for it. Thi3 we shall do without regard to personal or political consequences. Eyery phase of ti e political situation justi fies and approves this action, and we have the firm support in this course j of Dr Mott, Judge Rnasell and hun dreds of ether Republicans, both wiiite and colored, Raleigh Signal (Hep) ' ' Abraham s.-5;a unto hinV Moses aud the prophet?: let They have lb em hoar. them.: , --"i'-w. : v.:-;; And be said, JSay, f.tber A br ' but if one weat unto .hem from tUc dead, they will ii netit.

The Democratic press of North Carolina ha3 been " Moses and the prophets ", to sound the alarm and lead the people aright in these strange and troublous times : It has told the people that the Third party is an insidious Republican auxiliary to deliver the electoral vote of the State to Harrison with the infamous Force bill in his pocket. But the Third party howlers haye counseled the people not to believe the Dem ocratic press. All right ! Now comes one from the dead the dead Republican party, in the person of the Raleigh Signal, a deep-dyed Republican sheet, and it tells them to "vote the ticket headed by W. P.

The Democratic National Committee have issued the following ad dress: To the people of the United States: The Democratic National Com mittee congratulates the conntry on the result of the recent State elections in Maine, Vermont and Arkansas. In Arkansas the com bined opposition after so many ex tra vague claims fell short by over 30,000 votes. This has brought dismay to tue combination in the South, ard its manipulators in the North. In Main and Vermont the contest was conducted d;stinctly on national issues. The Republi can managers appealed for votes in these States on the ground bat the "size of the pluralities would exert great moral influence on the cam paign in other States." and that the poll would be 'practically our vote for President.' Similar ap peals summoned to their aid are potent resources of their national organization with its exhanstless treasury and its splendid equip ment of orators of national fame. With every favoring force at their command, except j ublic opinion; v ta no organ ristio .. opposed cave those m?,Je up witivn tho States by the minority party, which' has been out of a generation, and which was unaided from, without, the campaign of our adversaries for a triumphant test vote in these States, so carefully planned and so thoroughly and forcefully executed, has ended in conspicuous disaster. Onr friends everywhere are en titled to take iresh courage from these results. They mean that the strong tendency of public senti ment is with the Democracy, and that the people of the country are prepared to enforce, rather than reverse,the verdict which they ren dered in 1890.
