AT THE TURN OP THE ROA D.
Where the rough road turns, and the
valley sweet
Smiles bright with its balm and
bloom,
We'll forget the thnrnsthat have pureed
the teet
And the nights with their grief and
glO' m,
And the sky will smile, and the stars
will beam,
And we'll lay us down in the light to
dream,
shall lay us down in the bloom and
lifiht
With a prayer and tear for rest,
As tired children who "jeep at night
To the love of a mother's breasl
And for all the grief of tho stormy past
Rist shall be sweeter at last at last!
Sweeter because of the weary way,
And the lonesome night and long
While the darkness drifts to the ptrftct
day
With its splendor of light and song,
The light that shall,, bless us and kiss
U3 and love us
And sprinkle the roses of heaven above
ub!

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM-
As the Atlanta Journal well says,
those Democratic newspapers whose
main obj ct seems to .be to attack
and misrepresent the administration
of President Cleveland, have mi.3h
to say about the Democratic plat-,
form. They presume that they give
this instrument its tri nterpreta
tion and that all w'io do not ag-ee
with them have abandoned the
pledges of the party.
It is upon the currency qu stion
that these as.-ail ants of the admiuis
tration are most rampant and reck
less.
They argue that the Democratic
party ia committed to the fre and
unlimited coinage f silver, and that
if a free coinage bill should come
np in Congress to-day no Democrat
could vote agaiDst it without getting
off the Democratic platfoim. What
does the platform say on this sub
jtct ?
We quote its declaration as to the
currency :
"We denounce the Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
act of 1S90 as a cowardly makeshift,
fraught with possibilities of danger
in the future, which should make
all of its supporters, as well as its
author, anxious ior its speedy repeal
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard, money o the
country, and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimi
nation against either metal or charge
for mintage, but the dollar unit if
coinage of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic vsdue or be adjusted
through international agreement, or
by such safeguards of legislation as
shall insure the maintenance of the
parity of the two metals and the
equal power of every dollar at all
times in the market", and in pay
ment of debtf: and we demand
that all paper currency shall be
kept at par witli and redeemable
in snch coin. We insist upou this
policy as specially necessary for the
protection of the farmers and labor
ing classes, the first and most de
fenseleaa victims of unstable money
and a fluctuating currency.
Here we have a distinct declara
tion in favor cf "the use of both gold
and silver without discrimination
against-either metal," but immec
diattly hereafter eome the condi
tions without which it is impossible
to consider the question fairly or
intelligently. The platform re
quires that the "foliar unit jf coin
age cf both metals must be of "qual
intrinsic or exchangeable value." If
it be found impracticable to make
and maintain this sort of tarity an
other plan is provided in the lan
guage "or be adjusted through in-
ternational agreement". There have
men three international monetary
conf prence? i n recentyears, and they
have all failed to accomplish any
thing. It will thenfjre be seen
that this method of maintaitig the
. parity cf gold and silver cannot be
relied upou implicity. The Demc
cratic platoum therefore goes fur
ther and provides for such "safes
gtiards of legislation as Bhall -insure
j&e maintenance of the parity of the
two metals and the equal power of
e,erJ dollar at all times in1 -the mar
ke.ts and in the! payment qf debts.'
" Now how has the parity of the
go) and silver dollar been main
tained?
Obvwnely'it would have teen im
. possible to accomplish this result by
" putting a dollar's worth of bullion
-s into efery dollar coined, because the
value of silver bullion has varied
T greatl . So far if . has - been found
" impossible to reaebjany internation
' al-agreement which Tonld maintain
the parity of the two metals. These
two methods failing there was noth
ing for the Democratic administra
tion to do but to rely upon the tiird
plau proposed in the platform which
calls for 'iuch safe-guards of legisla
tion as shall insure the maintenance
of the parity of the two metal?, etc."
The continued purchases of
silver bullion in large amountB
nnder the Sherman act has made
t very difficult to maintain thp
parity ot the silver dollar with the
dollar ot go'd. The operation o!
that act caused the currency famine
rum which the country 6 u tie red
so severely. It aroused apprehend
sions at home and abroad as to the
soundless and stability ot our cur
rency and canted foreign holders
of property and securities in this
country to unload and withdraw
many millions of gold trom the
United States. At th same time
there was a great hoarding of
money at home.. The country was
Bm cted with lack ot confidence.
The only possible protection to ovar
nrrenev was the course whitih the
administration adopted. It was
absolutely nececstry to etcp the
purchaee of silver bullion for the
reason that we had as much silver
as we were able to maintain at the
parity with gold and we were
commanded to maintain that parity
by the Democratic platform and
by every consideration ot the
welfare of the country. The
charge that this policy has con
tracted the currency is absurd in
view of -he certainty taat the con
tinued operation of the Sherman
act would very soon have driven
from circnlition our $600,000,000
ot gold.
The enly possible way of mam
taining the parity of goid and til
ver aid thus keeping cur stock os
both in circulation was the way
which the administration recom
trended and carried out.
In pureuir-r this policy the &d
ministration has followed the plaia
terms of the Democratic platform
as the terms of tne platform itse f
must inJicate to any unbiased
mind.
The advocates of free silver coin
age at this time must either ignore
or pervert the Democratic - plat
form. After the currency p ank
which we have quoted had been
presented to the national Demo
cratic convention Mr. 1 atterson,
of Colorado, offered a substitute
which declared for the free coinage
of 6ilver, and it was overwhe'ming-
ly voted down by the convention.
It wiil thus b; seen tht th3 con
vention was not willing to dec are
for the free coinage of silver wi'li
out the three qualifications which
are e'early set forth in the platform
as it was fionlly adopted.
Before the absolute tree suvetites
pose as the only defenders of Dem-1
ocritie principles and denounce
those who differ with them as re
creant to the faith, thev would do
well to read the proceedings of the
last Nationnl Democratic conven
tiou, to study the Democratic plat
form and apply common intelli
gence to its interpretat on.
When You Write to the Queen.
The paper on which letters to
Queen victoria are written most
not be folded. ISo commnuication
which bears evidence of having
been creased will ever tall into her
Majesty's own hands. The proper
method is to write on thick, glossy
white paper and to dispatch the
missive in an envelope which fits
it. Any olded communication
never reache0 the Queen, for the
simple reason that she won t look
at it. All such letters are opened .by
the mistress of the robe?, and, as a
rule, their contents never get be
yond her, or, if the letter is of itns
portance, it is returned to the
writer with directions how to for
ward it,

Corbett Acquitted
Jacksonville, Fla , March 1.
Once more the pr:za fighters have
gone np against the "peace and
dignity" ot the State of F;orida, as
Governor Mi'chel! would pnrase
it, and once more tha "petce and
dignity" has been knocked out in
short order.
At 3 51 this afternoon the jury
in the cases aga'nat James J. Cor
bet, charged with viola'ing the
laws cf Florida by engaging in
priz3 fight, retired to make up a
verd.ct. At 4 07, or Eix'eea min
utes later, the jury returned and
the foreman banded the verdict to
the State attorney, who read; "We
the jury, find the defendant nor
guiity." A broad emi'e spread
over Corbett'u ftce as he heard
these reassuring words, and the
sports who crowded the court room
would have cheered had ihey not
been informed by JadgePuiiii8whei)
the jnry came in that he would
send any peison to jiii for con
tempt who dred to express ap
proval or disapproval of the verr
diet.
Charles Mitchell wag present
when the verdict wa? announced,
and he leaned over and grasped
Corbett by the hand arid whispered
congrata'aticn?. Mitchel', ot course,
considered the verdict in the light
of a practical acquittal f t himself,
P8 a case against him of a similar
a'nre is pending. There were
four woraeu in the court room at
the time, two of them members of
the "Alter Dark Company," and
they braved the wra?h of Judge
Philips to the extent cf a mere
wave of their hands to Corbjtt.
The proceedings leading up to the
verdict were very tame.
The impression here ia that the
whole tiling has been a farce. Tho
witnesses f)f the State, to u?e a
sporting phrase, "fell down," and
the defence had the easiest eort of
a walkover.
When Attorney General Lamar
was asked f r an opiuun on tne
result of the casr, he siic; "It
would not be good faith for me to
criticise the verdict."
"Will yon push ti e other cjisee
now
"I cannot eay yet,"' replied the
Attorney General. "I have wired
he Governor for instruction?, and
7
fee course in regard to other cases
depends upon the Governor's ad
vice.
Corbett left f .r New Orleans to
night with the "Arter Dark Com-
pany." Mitchell is still here and
will remain until the case against
hi .ii is either tried or nol-proesed.
The fports teel jubilant oyer the
ont outcome, and members ot the
Duval Athletic C ub 3sy they p.-o-
pose to pull on tee Corbett"J ackeon
mill here. They say that the court
and people are with them, and
they can have a pr:z3 firht every
morning belore rreaktast and
another one to give them an appe
tite for sepper it they eo desire
Late to-night Attorney-Geueral
Limar received a telegram from
Gov. Mitchell stating that he had
i:o rnrtner instruct:ona and that
further proceedings would bo lett
to his (LamarV) discretion. This
means that the cases against Mitch
ell and the memberB of the Athletic
Club, will be nol jprossed. ThiB
action will protabSy be taken iu
the morning. f

dark November
afternoon. Sha
ought to have
been in good
spirits, for Bhe
had won her
case in the law
courts, but sha
was far from
feeling so. In
fact she regret
ted more than
ever that she had been persuaded by
that pushing little lawyer, Nicholas
Thompson, to bring the action for
breach of promise at alL
The amount of damasres awarded to
her did not dazzle her; a thousand
pounds would buy her a great many
things she did not really want, but all
her actual wants were amply supplied
already by her own industrious fingers,
which were always busy with type
writing; and it would not give her the
only thing she wanted some one to
love.
A stumble up the dingy staircase,
into which the fog penetrated with im
punity, and a knock at the door an
nounced a visitor. "Come in," Nora
said, absently, forcretful of tear-
stained eyes, and fingers besmoked
with perusing her love-letters in the
dull, smoky fire.
The door opened and gave admittance
to a short, spare man, who bustled in
and was all over the room before he
had finished saying': "Good afternoon,"
and had laid his hat and cloves in a
place of security. lie was very plain,
with reddish hair, which stood straight
up on his head, and light-colored eyes,
with red rims and no eyelashes to speak
of. Nora turned up the gas and stood
waiting to hear his business.
"Now. do sit down, do sit down. Miss
Wortley," he said, with brisk, though
embarrassed utterance. "1 have just
dropped in for a friendly chat and to
exchange congratulations about the
verdict, you know."
"Thank you," said Nora, without en
thusiasm; "I am sure you did your best
for me, and, of ceurse, I thank you."
Just so, just so." A pause ensued,
which Mr. Thompson bridged over
with sundry disjointed ejaculations.
I I dare say you know I am a bach
elor. Miss Wortley?"
"No, I did not, Mr. Thompson."
"Yes, yes, I am, I'm sorry to say. It
isn't right, you know, and I must
6ay I have been struck by the af
fectionate disposition you have dis
closed. Now don't speak, my dear lady!
It is so, very much struck, indeed, in
fact, madam. Your affection is a treas
ure I long to possess "
"Excuse me," said Nora, hastily; "I
have no affection for anyone."
"Come, come, Miss Wortley, just
listen to me. Accept my hand and you
will find plenty of affection for me. 1
will make you an excellent husband.
very domesticated, don't smoke, don't
drink, not very particular about my
meals, and very easily pleased, if any
one cares to study me. Now just say
yes,' and it is all settled."
'I am much obliged, but I would
rather say 'no. "
"But 1 am not going to take that for
an answer; if you won't say 'yes' to
day I will call again to-morrow, and so
on every day. No six and eightpence,
you knowl"
"I assure you I mean no," said Miss
Wortley, decidedly; "I beg you will
take that for an answer. I Bhall never
get engaged again."
"Foor thing, poor thing. You have
such an affectionate disposition, your
thoughts are running on the injury
that great brute did you. Never mind,
my dear, a thousand pounds makes a

very excellent plaster, and will soothe
the wound very much! That reminds
me bless my soul, how could it have
escaped me?! "course you shall have
entire control of your money yourself,
though I could find an excellent invest
ment for it." '
"Thank you, Mr. Thompson, but 1
will not marry you, and aa for the
money you were instrumental in get
ting for me, I am so ashamed of it that
I think I shall give it .to some charity.
"Nonsense, Miss Wortley, you wilj
get over this. I wish that fellow was
not such a great hulking brute. I
should like to give him a horsewhip
ping as soon as the money is paid, ot
course. -
"If you think to please me by abusing
Oliver, you are very much mistaken,
Nora Wortlev said, hotly. "I will
hear nothing against him."
"I will wager that he is saying nasty
enough things against you," the attor
ney said, viciously; "Oliver Toogood
doesn't like parting with his money
any better than other people do; bo
there ia no harm in your having a shy
at him if you want to." '
"But I don't want to," said Nora,
with difficulty keeping back her tears
"he was always very kind to me, and
no doubt it was my own fault that b
backed Qgt o,V iaXV?felJflii
blew her nose and poked the fire, and
then turned to Mr. Thompson again.
"Somebody in the court wrote a pro
posal of marriage and passed it to me as
soon as the damages were awarded; he
was beforehand with you,"
"Do you mean that you accepted
him?" Thompson grew red with anger,
and his hair stood up more aggressively
than before.
"No, I did not, any more than I have
accepted you; but I like him better than
I do you."
"Why?" he asked, sharply.
"Because he took 'no' for an answer.
"Good by, .Miss Wortley for the
present!" Mr. Thompson said, making
a frantic rush for his hat and gloves.
"Good-by, Mr. Thompson."
Thompson opened the door and gave
admittance to some one who was about
to knock. lie gave a look a.t the new
comer, tmd hesitated to leave, but. a
very decided action on the other's part
induced him to do so. The door
which had been held open so meaningly
for him was very promptly slammed
after him, not without a suspicious
movement, which looked like a kick,
aimed at the departed guest.
The newcomer was Oliver Toogood, a
tall, burly, hearty-looking man of forty,
having the appearance of a country
gentleman, though he was really a
horse dealer, very well known in his
county for honesty and fair dealing.
He drew up a chair to the fire, which
was now burning brightly, and, flushed
with excitement and without saluta
tion, began:
"What was that cringing little aeg
gar doing here?"
"lie came to see me, Oli Mr. Too
good," Nora said, nervously.
"Well, the less you have to do with
him out of business hours the better,"
he said, brusquely; "1 can't deny but
that he has done your work well. I
suppose you are very grateful to him,
and all that?"
"Yes, I suppose I am," Miss Wortley
said, doubtfully; "I don't know."
"You ought to know, then. You
would not have got a thousand pounds
damages if he had not gone about it
"what
WAS THAT CKLSGIXG
BEGGAR DOING HEBE?"
LITTLE
the right way. I have got the money
here for you." He slapped his pocket
significantly. T could not make up
my mind to pay good money into dirty
fingers, that as much might stick to it
as he chooses. Take my advice, Nora,
and have his bill taxed."
"You are very kind to interest your
self about it," said Nora, wearily; "but
I don't think Mr. Thompson is likely to
overcharge or cheat me in fact, he
wishes to make me his wife."
The making of such a confession was
distinctly contrary to Miss Wortley's
usual manner, but a sudden inclination
seized her to show her quondam lover
that she was not despised by everyone,
though he had cast her off without
reason.
"But you are not going to marry
him?"
"I I don't know."
' "Surely you will never tie yourself
to a little peddling attorney chap like
that!" he burst out, impetuously;
"why, I could . buy him out and out
four times over. A little snip like that
that I could take up with my finger and
thumb."
"It is very lonely for me," said Nora,
looking down so that Oliver Toogood
only saw her long dark lashes.
"But you might do better than that,
Oliver blurted out, "with what you
have saved and my thousand pounds.
"Yes," said Nora, still keeping her
eyes cast down, ''perhaps I could. I
have had other offers."
"The deuce you have!"
"But"
"Well?" he putin, impatiently. "Why
don't you accept the best of them?"
"1 shall never marry without "
"An equal sum on the part of the
man? Well, here's the money I have to
hand over."
He plumped down a -bulky pocket-
book.
"There take it and count it. Bank
of England notes all of them. I can't
think what the deuce you wanted to
quarrel with me for."
"Oh, Oliver," she said, gently; "I al
ways heard that the quarrel of lovers
was the renewal of love, and I never
thought you would leave me because of
what I said."
"Well, I never meant to."
'.'But . you did, and you said cruel
things about me,"
"Which mischievous persons repeat
ed, Nora. I always meant to come
round in the end, only I heard that
Thompson was urging you to bring an
action for breach of promise of mar
riage, and that made me turn stubborn.
Well, count your money, girL"
"I I don't want it!" said Nora, sob
bing, and hiding her face in her hands;
"I hate it, and" .
-; "And me, too?"
Oliver goAup softly, and stood before
her.
"And me, too?' he repeated, gently.
"No," Nora murmured; "I was going
to say, 'and I won't have it' "
"Will you have me,' instead, dear?

ET TU, HILL
Charlotte Obseiver.
Now we have it that Mr. Hill,
of New York, is to load the Denio
cratic opposition in the Senate to
the Wilson tariff bill. It is an
nounced in the New York Sun, a
paper which ia especially friendly
to him, that he will fight the bill
in caucus and in ODen Senate,
Wei1, goodsbye, Senator Hill.
You never did have much chance
to get a Democratic presidential
nomination; bolt yonr party's tariff
bill and that little will go glimmer
ing. It bad been supposed that
Mr. Hill was too astute a politician
and too good a party man to array
himself, as the balance of the New
York Democracy is doing against
the party, but he seems to be pos
sessed of the notion of all the rest
ot them, that the New York Dem
ocracy is the Democracy of the
nation, and that the party in all
other eectione must surrender to it
or be run over by it. It isn't
going to do it; it is already dis
gusted with the obatructiveness ot
one element and the thimble
rigging of another element up
there.
Any Democratic Senator and
Representative has a right to file
his obiection8 to the Wilson tariff
with the cancu3 or committee, and
to hght it out to the and before
either or both of these tribunal?,
but when it comes to joining the
enemies ot his party in open House
to defeat what is strictly a party
measure, that ia quite another
matter aod no man can do it and
not loe east with his fellow D o
crats.
On Historic Ground.
Elizabeth City, N. C, March
1. President Cleveland and his
party are moving till tnrtheraway
from civilization. Yesterday morn
ing the Violet was lying at Long
Point, near the foot of the Albe
marle and Chesapeake Canal.
After affording tha party an op
portunity to try their skill on the
ducks in the early morning the
little steamer hauled up her anchor
and Rtood away to the southward.
She crossed Albemarle Sound, as
placid as a mountain rake at this
season, and entered Croeten Sound,
about thirty milea distant from the
starting point in the morning.
Here the vessel anchored again,
and the party pas3ecT'the night
quietly in the glare of the Crooton
fcound light, which waff, close at
hand.
The President is now near hiai
toric ground. Two miles distant to
the east lies Itoanoke Island, made
memorable by the landing of Sir
Walter Raleigh in the early days
of the country's histor y"; and later
in the days of our civil war by the
operations of Ihe Federal fleet, euh.
ruinating in the bloody r battle of
Roanoke Island. Further to the
eastward, but in plain -eight ot the
President's Btopping place, lies
Nag's Head with its mysterious
moving sand hille, and near at
hand is Kitty Hawk, of evil fame,
where the United States steamer
Huron was cast away and nearly
all of the officers and crew dro'wned,
owing, it was said, to false lights on
the low shore. To" the westward
lies the mainland, generally
swampy, and about ten. milea be
low are the Roanoke marshes, the
spring -feeding ground of my
riada of fcurlew and willet and yel
low legs and all birdi ot the eoipe
family. "-- -
VIEWING THE 8I11HT3.
The Presidential party did not
try its luck at gunning this morn
seeing expedition. Tne President
and Secretary Gresham were early
risers and when their breakfast
bad been dispatched the members
of the party began their trip.
The first point of interest was
the seine hauling at Weymouth
Point on,the mainland. The Presi
dend, MrlGreeham and Captain
Evans landed from the Violet and
inspected the workings of the
Davis and Weymouth fishery on
Crooton Sound. The tide was about
flood, and the party was in time
to see one haul of the great seine.
Taking to their gig again the
party then crossed Crooton Sound,
and landed on Roanoke Island,
about two miles distant. Here con
veyance were taken and the parts
visaed Bfme ot the historical
points on the Island, inclnding
Fort Raleijrht and Ballast Point,
where Sir Walter Raleigh landed
the ball as which he brought in his
