'This Abgus o'er the people's rights D"th aneternal vigil keep; No soothing strain of Mai's son Can lull its hundred eyes to sleep'1 Vol. XVI. GOLDSBORO, N. C THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1892. NO. 80 WHATEVER 115 IS BEST. I know as my life grows older, And mine eyes have clearer sight, Tbat under each rank wrong somewhere There lies the root ol Bight; That such sorrow has its purpose, By the sorrowing oft unguessed, But as lure as the sun brings morning, Whatever is i best. I know that each sinful action. As sure as the night brings shade, Is somewhere, sometime punislieu, Tho' the hour be long delayed. I know that the soul is aided Sometimes by the heart's unrest, And to grow means often to euflVr But whatever is is best. I know there are no errors In the great eternal plar, And all things work together For the final good cf mas. And I know when my soul speeds on ward In its grand eternal quest, I shall say as I look back earthward, Whatever is is best. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Letter from S. Otho Wilson, State Executive Committee, Pe ple's Party of North Caro lina, Chairman's Office, Raleigh, N. C. Oct. 21 1892. F. M. SiMM0N8,Chairman,Raleizh : Sir : A copy of the State Chron icle of 'the 19th inst, containing two letters and a sensational write up by yon with reference to a so called Becret political Bociety, of which I am said to be the official head, has been handed me. As yon have used the machinery of the party of which you are the official head, together with the Democratic pre-s of the State and nation for its circulation, I hope that your sense of fair p!ay will give the same prominence and wide circulation io this communis cation. Justice demands it. If there is in North Carolina a secret political society ki own as 'Gidion's Band," or I y ar-y otbe name, or if there has be n a politi cal eociety which control-, or has tried to control, the people, or policy of any political party, other than the conncils of the party it self, I am in ignorance of it exist ence. Very truly, (Signed.) S. Otho Wilson, Mr. Editor At the request of Mr. S. Otho Wilson, I desire, through the medium of the press, to lay before the people of North Carolina the above letter, which 1 think contains the strongest possi ble proof of the charge he therein essays to answer. It will be ob served he does not deny the state-, ments made by Messrs Reed and Bell, and makes the single point that the "band" is not a political eociet. In other words, summoned to the bar of public opinion,his plea by way is what is known among the lawyers as a plea of confession andavoid&nce."Hn admits by deny ing (under circumstances which imperatively cal'ed for denial, if one had been intended ) the exist ence in North Carolina of the "Gideon's band". He admits thereby thajt Mefsrs Reed and Bell have correctly described the machinery by which it works, to-wit: chiefs, sub chiefs, thirty select men in each county, and 300 in each congressional district, who can be relied on in all meetings. He admits thereby tbat these men are bound by oath, under severe penalties, to execute a!l orders emanating from their t uperiors He admits that be initiated Reed and made him chief" in the 9th dis trict He admits thereby tla he made overtures to Bell to join and revealed to him the tecre.ts o the "band". He admits that ho de clared the purposes of the band to be to promote the "reform move ment'. But he 6a js the band is not a political society. I leave it to the intelligent peo ple of the State ii this is not a fair interpretation.indeed, the only ad miseable interpretation, of bis let ter. These facts being admitted, or proven, the people will not ac cept Mr, Wilson's conclusions as to whether they constitute a po lit:cal society, especially when it is well known he and some of his followers have very eccentric noo tions about what is political. They will take the facts and decide for themselver, and these facts admitted as 1 have shown by Mr. Wilson, show a well-defined secret political organization. . What did Mr. Wilson mean when he told Mr. Bell the object of the band was to promote the "Reform" movement? Did be re- for to the platform of principles adopted at Cincinnati in 1891, which with slight amendment, were afterwards incorporated in the St Louis platform and then adopted at Omaha? What sonld he have meant if not this? Bell so understood him, for lie replied the scheme was dangerous and would destroy the Alliance and deieat the reforms proposed. Is there any doubt about what is known as the "reform movement" being a political movement? Dees it not seek to have certain well- defined policies enacted into law and when in conflict therewith to have the fundamental law chang -ed. There seems to be the consider able obtnsenecs on the part oi people in this State as to what constitutes political action, but it is hard to believe any can be found so dull as not to see that what was popularly known as the reform movement was then a political move, and has continued up to the present time to be one. It Messrs. Reed and Bell's let ters left any doubt (and I think they did not) in the minds of our people about the existence here of a secret political society. Mr. Wil son's letter finally removes tbat doubt. The existence ofMSideon's-Band" in this State, and the statements of Messrs. Reed and Bell in reference thereto not being denied, the peo ple will, of course, form their opin ion of its character and objects from the statements of these gentle men. If the order is political, it is no lawful; if the order is not political but merely intended to control and direct the deliberations of the Alliance, then it is an outrage upon the members of the Alliance, who have not been admitted into its eecrets,tbat a secret "cabal" should have been formed within their or der to clandestinely control its councils. F. M. StMM"NS, Chm'n State Dem. Ex. Com. The Wild-Cat Money Skulk. The Republican leaders now realize the fact that they have been worsted in every effort to defend the iniquitous tariff taxation ot the McKinley law, and they have.froro sheer necessity, skulked into a corner and unite in a howl against wild cat money because tbe Chica go platform calls for the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on State bank issues. It is simply a cowardly skulk, as every man of average intelligence knows that no one proposes to go back to irresponsi ble ((inks and that no such money institutions could exist for a month. Tbe plain truth is that our na tional bank circulation is rapidly diminishing and must soon disap pear. Senator Sherman, in a speech delivered in the Senate last June, thns honestly stated the case : Now, Mr. President, another thing is plain, that the people of this country whether rightly or wrongly is not for me to say are not in favor of the longer continu ance of the national banking sys tem beyond that period which will enable them to wind up as banks of circulation when the payment of tbe public interest-bearing bonds i s nade I am, therefore, in favor of regarding the popular will as being practically expressed that we shall not continue this banking system longer than the existence of the bonds that are out standing. The Democratic platform does not leave any citizen in doubt as to what is meant by the repeal of the tax on State bank circulation. This important part of it is studiously suppressed by the skulkers : We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and silver, without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage but the dol- lar unit of coinage of both metals n.ust be of (qual intrinsic and ex change able value, or be adjusted by international agreement, or by such safeguards of legislation as shall secure tbe maintenance of the parity ot the two metals and the equal power of any dollar at all times in the market and in . the payments of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with an redeemable in such coin. Grover Cleveland is the most important man of all to interpret the Democratic platform, and he gives no uncertain sound on the question of an absolutely sound and stable currency. In his letter of acceptance he says : The people are entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly suffi cient in volume to supply their business needs. But whatever mpy be the form of the people's currency .national or State, whether gold, silver or paper, it should be so regulated and guarded by govs ernmental action, or by wise and careful laws that no one can be de luded as to the certainty and stab ility of its value, Every dollar put into the hands of the people should be of the same intrinsic value or purchasing power. With the condition absolutely guaran teed, both gold and silver can be safely utilizod upon equaVterms in the adjustment of our currency. ' The issue of wild-cat . currency simply assumes ' that the people are fools and can be frightened away from a sober consideration of monopoly taxes by the cry of "wild-cat bants, coming up in chorus from a lot of cowardly po litical skulkers. The Columbian Kxli 'bit ion. This "new style" anniversary of the discovery of America comes along tardily. The sentiment as sociated with a popular commemo-. ration is no controlled by matha-j matical calculations concerning the accuracy of the calander. We have all learned that Columbus first perceived land it) the West on the morning of October 12, 1492, and it was a refinement of j e lantry to ask us to defer our recognition of the anniversary till October 21, merely because it was afterwards learned that the fifteenth century almanacs were nine days out of the way. There is only one advantage iD the selection of this day instead of the nominal anniversary for the ceremonies at Chicago. The ac tual commemoration has already been held and to-day's demonstra tion serves to consecrate attention not eo much on the historical event as on the monumental er terprise that is to mark the com pletion of the fonrYuaryelous eentu ries since elapsed. We have all been hearing a great deal about Columbus ; our thoughts to-day turn rather to the stupendous civilization that has arisen in the New World to which he led the way. Each of the great international exhibitions of the past distinctly marked an epoch in the deyelop mentof the world at large, as well as ot the country in which it was held. The impetus giveu to the commercial and industrial progress of England by the first World's Fair in 1851 wa3 felt in some de gree by every nation, aud France and, subsequently Austria, profited greatly by the examp'e. Our owd Centennial Exhibition in 187G was even more emphatically epoch making. It marked the culmina tion of a century of growth uuder trange t nd difficu!t co: d tions ar d a new starting puint ot an organ ized national life, whose develop ment received from it a fresh and stimulating influence. By whatever mistakes of policy our progress has been misdirected and whatever perils they may have invited, the vast resources of the country have proved too great for man's ignorance to repress5. Nor has nature alone been fruitful. Io at least the external marks of civil ization, in all that makes for the comfort and convenience ot life,the cultivation of the mind and the elevation of taste,our advance 6ince 1876, though atiil very far from universal, has. within its range, been little short of marvelous. In its artistic aspect, as manifested especially in the application o art to industry and to beautifying the environments of daily life, the United States of to-day are almost a New World indeed when con pared with twenty years ago, and this is one f the things that the Chicago Exhibition will mark in a way that will astonish even our selves, The advance is scientific and mechanical invention has been scarcely less rematkable The whole construction of the buildings at Chicago, as well as their ornamen ation, their illumination, the means of trancit through the gronnds,and numerous other features, will pre sent to the eye what practically did not exist so lately as 1876. Thus the work of preparation in itsc:lf,a9 a token of past achievement and present possibilities, will have the highest importance, while the va6t collection yet to be gathered there, of the treasures of nature and ot ait, of science, industry and inven tion, should as far excel any pre vious display as the resources of 1892 excel those of the times past, Philadelphia Times, STATE NEWS.

The church was full: in the crowded aisles There scarce was roem to pas?; Upon the throng the sunlight streamed Through panes of colored glass. It tinged some checks with a rose-tint bright, But it threw on others a pale blue light; A.nd a sickly hue of ghastly green Fell full on some, while the rays between Shed yellow, the color ol richest gold, And purple like Tyrian dye of old. But numbers sat in a cold grey light, And few were touched by the purer white; While the organ's vibratory tone Stirred now a triumph now a groan, An unseen voice, as of one who plead For all the living; yea, and the dead, Sang, "Pity, O, Saviour!" The church was full; full like the world Teeming with human life; And the beating hearts that were gath ered there, With varying thoughts were rife. Some glowed with the rose tint of hope and love, Some, paler, looked only to Heaven above; And some were ghastly with coming death, And striving to lengthen the fleeting breath, And clinging to earth with a dying hold Yet fueling the powerless grasp unfold, A nd envying those so full of health, Who sat in the yellow light of wealth And folded the purple of high estate Over hearts not always good nor great And some ft It cold in the dead grey tint, of a life ol poverty and stint; And s-.me surviving affliction's night Caught a few faint beams ol the purer white. Still over all, rolled the organs tone. Stirring now a triumph and now a groan, While the mellow voice of the one who sang Floated overhead till the arches rang With "Pity, O, Saviour!" Before the altar, the white-robed priest Bent his head in solemn prayer, In the consecrated place, his voice Arose on the quiet air "As is most expedient for them,"he said "Be the wishes of thy people sped." From a life's experience, learned he well, That only Omniscient love could tell What things to withhold, and what to give. To needy soul3 that they migl't live; He knew that those in the cold grey light; Would ask for wealth nor ask aright, That those in the purple and gold, would say From our treasures here take us not away. Meanwhile the Heaven God made so bright With His own presence, all would slight, Hereon this wretched. earth to stay And live for more forever and for aye. Wtll might the organ thrill and groan, And the voice with most pleading tone Cry, "Pity, O.Savioui!" Ignorant, wilfully blind, and dead In our trespases and sin, We would shut the door oi the other world, Nor seek to enter in. If God to purge our sins essay, We cry, "Kemove this agony!" If gentler discipline be given We pray him, "Turn this earth to Heaven." If one we love be nigh to death We beseech Him to stay the parting breath, Though He is His mercy fair would give An immortal life for the one we live. Yet we hold back those whom He calls to share The happy lot of the angels fair. And dare to pity the saints who go Leaving behind them a life of woe. We turn our eyes from a vision bright To let them rest on a meaner sight. Meantime, the beauty no eye hath seen Is waiting for us to enter in; The wealth we have so desired is there, And there is portioned our own full share; And the perfect love of which we dream, In Heaven alone is ever seen; And the painless life, we long for so. Till we leave the flesh, we shall never know; Ah, well for us, that the priest doth pray With words that teach us what to say And well for us weep and groan That some voice calls with pleading tone - "Pity, O, Si.viour-" Ala.

Friday Columbus Day dawned bright and beautiful iu Goldsboro, and from an early hoar the city was astir with busy preparations for the day's public observance, as outlined by the program published in the morning's Akgus. Promptly at 10 o'clock the various historical, industrial and trade floats, the fire companies, the Goldsboro Rifles, the mounted Knights and carriages began to arrive at the starting point, and at 11" o'clock sharp the procession moved on "its march of the city, and all along the line, throughout all the streets of crowded spectators, ejaculations of wonder and admiration and public spirited gratification prevailed with prolonged enthusiasm. Even the most sanguine had not expected anything h:ilf eo grand, beautiful and imposing. It was a spontaneous Mardi Gras, so to speak, of historic characters and brilliant pageantry, and will long be remembered in Goldsboro as the most imposing and successful public celebration of any day in all her past history. And right here we take occasion to say that the credit of its inception and bri 111 an t culmination is largely due to Prof.J.Y.Joyner, the efficient Super intendent of our City Schools, and Hon. A. B. Hollowel!, the patriotic and aggressive Mayor of our city. Thev spared no effort to make the affair a success and a credit to Golds boro and it was both Visitors from nearly every town in the State were here, and all agreed in common that it eclipsed anything of the kind thev had ever seen in any of their respective towns. The order of march was as fellows: Goldsboro Cornet Band : From the 1st to the 7th grades of boys of the Goldsboro Graded School, carrying banners : From the 1st to 7th grades- of girls, carrying banners : Carriages with Teachers' and Trustees : Carriages with Mayor and Aides'' men : Fire Company No. 1, with wagon beautifully decorated: Eclipse Steam Fire Engine Co., with steamer handsomely arrayed. historical floats. Float, "Santa Maria", with Columbus and sailors : Float, with Indians in war attire : Float, with young ladies represent ing North Carolina Coat of Arms, Cornua Copia and Virginia Dare, and with Sir Walter Raleigh, in front: Float The 13 original States, represented by young ladies : Float, with 44 young ladies on board, representing the United States cf to-day: Float Ruffin Lodge, K. of P.

P, R, King & Son machinery. The procession was quite three quarters of an hour passing a given point and was followed all along its route by lines of hundreds of ad mirers. When it had finished its course back to the Graded school grounds, some beautiful exercises were given on the spacious grounds - by . the children of the several grades to the great enjoyment of the many specta I tors. These were followed by at splendidly executed .skiraniih drill down West Centre by the Goldsboro Rifles, that was enthusiastic and ex hiliarating. "Old Vets." on a'l sides enjoyed this feature hugely and said it "canied them back" to former days, when it wa3 not "all fun". The day's festivities were con cluded bv a delightful entertainment by pupils of the Graded Schcol in the Messenger Opera House, which was largely attended aud resulted iu $125 for the librarv fund of the Graded School. It was a great day in Goldsboro. Its praise is on the lips of all, and everyone who witnessed the occasion will long retain a pleasing remem brance thereof Columbua Day. Editor Anus: Columbus Day was observed bv the Colored Graded and State Normal Schools here on Fri day, on the grounds of the city Graded School. There was no regular street pa rade of the schools or of the citizens, but a large crowd gathered at the school building at 3 o'clock p. m. Just before the beginning of the exercises the Juveniles, in full uniform, headed by the Cornet Band, marched upon the scene, and after performing many pleasing marches, took their place in West side of the hollow square, the other three sides being formed of the Graded and Normal School students. In the pavilion, which is in the middle of the hollow square, was the piano, presided at by Mrs. Dil lard, of the State Normal, supported by Mrs. Dortch, Miss Amee and Mis3 Lee, of the Graded School. Conspicuous in the pavilion was the saintly form of Miss Dorr, whose presence breathed an atmosphere of purity and perfection, accompanied by Mrs. II. L. Grant. On the speaker's stand, which had been erected at some expense and handsomely decorated with ever green and bunting, were to be seen Prof. H. E. Hagabs, Principal of the State Normal School and orator of the day, Prof. J. Y. Joyner, Super intendent of the city Graded Schools, Maj. II. L, Gran!;, Rev. C. Dillard, Mr. John Lynch, Father of the Ju veniles, Mr, Jno. A. C : ooms, reader of proclamation, and Mr. J. C. Ste vens, Principal of the city colored Graded Schoo1, who acted as master of ceremonies. The following is the prog am of exercises: Reading Presidents' proclamation. Raising, cheering and saluting the flag. Pupils pledge allegiance. Singing America. Prayer, by Rev. C. Dillard. Singing Star Spangled Banner. Address, by Prof. II. E. Hagans. Singing Glory Hallelujah. Columbus Catechism, conduc ed by Mr. Hagans. Singing Uolumbia the tiem ot the Ocean. The exercises were interspersed with lively music by the colored Goldsboro Cornet Band. The event of the day was the able address of Prof, llagans, who spoke from manuscript and shewed him self familiar with his subject, which was the Life and Adventures ot Columbus and tho effect of his great discovery upon the civilization of the world. He spoke like the orator that he is. and electrified his audi ence, which listened spell-bound to the close. It is hoped that the au dress will be printed so that all our people may read it. Prof, Joyner ably addreseed the people on the importance of the day and in behalf ot education. Rev. C. Dillard, that able divine, though unwell, being specially re quested, could not refrain from al luding to the progress made by our people, hoping that the day would soon come when all narrow preju dice would flee before the bright sunlight of intellegence. With the flag of the Union float ing ifoove our school the children marched away to their several homes and the crowd dispersed, giving three cheers. Tar Heel. Democrats Indeed. Me.

" .DEMOCRAT. Goldsboro, N. C. Oct. 22, 1892. . THE COUNTY CAMPAIGN Its Opening la Fork Township Yes terday: A Joint Canvass Agreed Upon- The county campaign opened in i Fork township vr-sterdav with all the county candidates Democrats and Thirdpartyites in attendance, with the exception of Thirdparty candidate for Sheriff, Joe. W. Gard ner, who is detained at home for the present by the illness of his wife. It was an auspicious opening for the county Democracy, for the at tendance was large, both whites and blacks being out in good numbers, and reason prevailed: and where reason prevails Democracy is always triumphant, for reason and Democ racy go baud in hand; and so it was a triumphant day in Furk township yesterday. A joint canvass having been agreed upon, the campaign is going to be an interesting one all over the coun ty, and will doubtless wax warmer as the fight thickens. The t. P3. weie badly rattled yesterday. For instance, Abbott L. Swinson, t, p. caudidate for Register of Deeds, said outright and einjrfiatiraUy in his speech jesterday that he did not re quest Frank Dobson, the Republican county chairman, to join him in a pe tition for Federal Supervisors of elec tions. Dobson has asserted to doz- ens in tt couuty that Abbott L. Swinson did do this thing. So it is reduced at the start to a question of personal veracity between Swiu- son aud Dobson; and bwmson has the passiye endorsement of Dobsoa's party for Register. So Dobson will either have to act outside his party in voting the county ticket or else vote for Swinson, who has denounced his statement as false at the very outset of the campaign. Now how are they going to settle this question and keep peace in the family the Radical Third party family? And if it aiut settled amicably (and we can't see how it can be) why Dobsou is liable to call his party affiliates to gether iu a night even the night before the election, and put out a complete county tic ket. All the candidates "announced themselves" yesterday, aud our leg islative candidates lion. B. F, Aycock for the Senate, and J. A. S evens and W. R. Allen for the House made stirring, telling speeches, completely annihilating Person, Parker and well, we were going to say Ham; Mr. W. H.
