TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
The abundant success of the
teachers' institute that closed in
Goldsboro last Friday is gratify
ing to the County Superintend
ent, the teachers in attendance
and all concerned.
Prof. Joyner, of the Normal
School at Greensboro, was sent
by the State to conduct the in
stitute, and the County Board of
Education had engaged Superin
tendent Howell, of our graded
school to assist hitn.
For many days before the in
stitute met, Prof. Howell was
active in securing places of en
tertainment free of charge for
all the teachers that might at
tend. This did much to insure
the success of the meeting, by
securing a large attendance. The
homes of Goldsboro were thrown
open to the teachers of Wayne
couuty, and it is to the credit of
our citizens that not a teacher
here last week had to pay a cent
for boaid, but were made to feel
that they were among their
r iends and their own people
when at our county-seat.
Another feature of the insti
tute, contributing to the same
feeling, was the reception given
the teachers by the towns-people,
under the management of
Prof. Howell. This was held
Monday evening from 8:30 to 11
in the rooms of the Young Men's
Christian Association. Nearly
all of the country teachers
were present and some "of the
committeemen from the country,
and a largo number of Goldsboro
people, including many of the
graded school teachers. It was
a-'uelightful .gathering, and was
productive of much good, com
ing at the beginning of the insti
tute, in thus introducing the
members to each other in a
pleasant social way. Cake, ice
cream and sherbet were served,
and music made the time seem
shorter. The piano and violin
duets by M iss Willie Bumgard
ner, of Staunton, Va., and Mr.
T. M. Lee, of Clinton, wTere
especially good. This singing
was also enjoyed, as well as the
instrumental music by Miss
Daisy Smith, of Goldsboro, Miss
D . P. Rich, of Mt. Olive, and
Miss Sally Parks, of LaG range.
The meetings of the institute
were held in the Graded School
building, using the th and 9 th
grade recitation room in the
morning, and the 7th grade reci
tition room in the afternoon.
These rooms were tilled at every
session. The subjects given irost
attention were -.reading, literature,
and history by Prof. Howell, and
arithemic by Prof. Joyner. A
class was formed in reading, and
was taught by Prof. Howell, as
he would teach a class of children
in a fourth reader. He denned
reading, not as calling out words,
but as getting the thought from
the language of a written or
printed page. The greater part
of -the reading we do, is silent read
ing. He therefore empha
sized the importance ot a
teacher's leading his pupils to
grasp the full thought of what
ever they read. Teachers should
spend more time in showing their
pupils how to study. This is
worth more to them than hearing
a lesson." Prof. Howell illus
trated his principles with the
class of teachers, including all at
the institue, he had formed for
this purpose. He used with this
class one of the articles on North
Carolina history, that appeared
in the Hound Table. Prof. Howell
had all the teachers in a similar
class, studying Tennyson'sA7e.
He had secured annotated editions
of the poem, enough to supply all
with a copy.
Prof. Joyuer lectured on the
underlying principles of arith
metic. which is his special de
partment at the Normal School,
and on phychology, and prin
ciples of education. He also
directed teachers to study the
children under their care. They
are the proper textbooks onpsy
chology for a teacher. He showed
how that true principles of educa
tion could be thus discovered,
and correct methods of teaching
learned.
The questions of school organ
ization and discipline were con
sidered, and generally discussed
county Superintendent Atkinson
and Mr. JK. L. Becton, of itiUreka,
taking a prominent part, and con
tributing valuable suggestic
Indeed, the most encouraging
feature of this institute was the
active part taken in discussion by
to many teachers.
Supt. Atkinson gave a talk on
the teaching of North Carolina
historv. and illustrated his own
method.
Thursday was full of interest
First Miss Mariana Cobb, of our
Graded School faculty, gave
talk on the teaching of primary
reading and spelling, and to show
her method, taught m tne pres
ence of the institute a class of
half a dozen of her pupils in the
second reader. Mrs. M. O. Hum
phrey, of our Graded School, gave
a lecture on the teaching of writ
ing to little children, and lllus
trated it on the black-board. Dr.
Jno. S. Bassett, of Goldsboro,
recently from Johns Hopkins
University, and Professor of his
tory in Trinity College, gave the
teachers a scholarly, yet simple,
practical lecture on history; what
history is, and how to teach
it. In the afternoon Mrs;
Mrs. Humphrey again addressed
the institute on how to teach f rac
tioual parts of numbers. The
exercises of this day alone were
worth all the trouble and ex
pense of the institute. There
was 'not a teacher present on
Thursday that will not be a bet
ter teacher hereafter than be
fore. The library of the graded
school was thrown open to the
teachers and freely consulted by
them. Friday morning Prof.
Howell made a talk on literature
m
the schools. He -told the
teachers it was not enough sim
ply to teach children how to
ead. They should be told what
to read and where they can get
it. Teachers must read them
selves, and inculcate a love of
good literature in their pupils.
He told how this could be
done, how it had been done in
his schools, and not only in the
city schools of Tarboro and
Goldsboro, but in an ungraded
country school under his super
vision in Edgecombe county.
Befoi'e adjourning the teachers
organized the "Wayne County
Teachers' Association. Super
intendent-Atkinson was elected
Pre sident. With such a man at
the head of it, the association is
assured of success.
The teachers were gratified at
the presence of the Chairman of
the County Board of Education,
Mr. N. W. Musgrave, who was a
regular attendant throughout
the week.
The institute was fortunate in
having two public addresses m
the Opera House by President
Mclver, of the Normal School,
on Monday, and by Prof. Joyner
on Friday. Both spoke on pub
ic education.
On Friday before adjourning to
o to the Opera House, the fol
lowing resolutions were intro
duced by Mr. E. L. Becton and
unanimously adopted:
Iiexozvt'd, That we, the teachers
of Wayne county in session as
sembled, tender our sincere
thanks to the people of Golds
boro and vicinitv for their wel
come, their hospitality, and un
tiring efforts to make our stav
with them so comfortable and
pleasant.
Jlcsolvi-d 2. That our thanks are
due and hereby offered to the of
ficers and progressive teachers
of this Institute who have taken
an active part in making this In
stitute a success, and the practi
cal illustrations given us.

are due to those in charge for
the use of Graded School build

tions be presented to the papers
of Goldsboro for publication.

Human nature is made of very

stantly surprised at our ability
to bear wjiat seems unendurable.

a commonplace creature; in an

The possibility - of greatness is
hidden somewhere in every man's
nature. He is an unconscious
giant, but will never do a giant's
work until the emergency forces
him to. Give him an ordinary'
road to travel, and he shambles
along like a peasant: srive him a
hill to climb, then thunder in his
ear, "xou must: and he becomes
transformed from a clod to a

It is the sternness of fate
which makes man great. His in
clination is to be small, to be
comfortable rather than noble,
to live easily rather than graifdly.
It is only when a compellin.
force on the outside drives him,
or when ne hnds himself in a
tangle of circumstances from
which extrication seems impossi
ble, that he rises to his full
height and accomplishes the task
which he has looked upon with
trembling timidity. In a word,
he is almost omnipotent but does
not know it, and never can know
it until God proves it to him by
giving him the impossible to do.
During the war the farpaer's
bov was thrilled by a spark of
electric patriotism, but Jgreat
deeds were beyond his thbught.
He had never seen the heroic
element in his nature. ; lie en
listed as a duty, and for nfonths
was only an ordinary,- soldier .in
the ranks. By and by, however.
There
was death in the air. The bul
lets were flying fast and he gave
up all hope of seeing home
again. But with danger came
opportunity. That opportunity
acted upon him like magic. A
farmer's boy no longer, he sud
denly became a hero, as though
some fairy had swung her wand
over his head. He was larger
in soul than he ever dreamed of
becoming, went into the thick of
the fight and unflinchingly did
deeds of prowess. When the
shadows of evening fell and the
bloody work was over he had t a
captain's straps cn his shoulders
and was by no means the same
man who left the plough in the
furrow to foillow the tap of the
drum. Opportunity is" another
name for metempsychosis, for
there are times when we shed
the commonplace and become
Knights of the Round Table. :
But we can endure as well as
do when we must. No one knows
how much he can bear until he
is tried. Providence - has made
life hard because every man
needs the test of fire. Why this
is so it might be difficult to say,
but that it is so no one can doubt.
We are drowsy until some earth
quake shock shakes us, and then
we become men. Ill fortune is
spiritually worth more than what
we call good fortune. The rich
man's son is apt to slide down
hill, while the poor
man's boy
climbs to the top. If you
have
all you want your life is without
value. If you have nothing
that you want the desire to
get the best there is a trans
figuring influence, though it
involves sacrifice and tragedy.
You are content, and your
home is a happy one. Wife and
child sit at your winter fireside
and you contemplate your sur
roundings with grateful satisfac
tion. The sky is blue for you
and the sun sets in beauty. But
you recognize the fact that there
are storms to be met, and though
you have had immunity thus far
you know that it cannot last for
ever. There are burdens to be
borne, and you must nt your
shoulders to some of them.
When you think of what may
possibly happen the tears come
to your eyes. Your income may
take to itself wings and speed
away, leaving you to sit in the
ashes of bankruptcy. That seems
hard enough, yet you have a
feeling thatr'you can bear it if it
is inevitable But when a white
hearse rumbles by your , door
you know, that . some father's
heart is breaking, and it comes
to you that a HKe disaster may
visit you. Life is so uncertain
and death is apparently so ca
pricious, it he should look into
the eyes of your little one he
jht want him. Death plucks
little, flowers for the garjn of
God, and if he. should pluck
your' nower, tne only one you
have, mayhap, what would you
do, what could .you do? . You
fall upon prayer that no white
hearse may ever stop at your
door. ' Your- life would go out
ike ah extinguished candle
There would be nothing left,
That misfortune you cannot bear,
Anything else, out not tnat. you
say so haye said many, and then
they have wept because the
prayer was not answered.
Then death steals into your
house unawares and your flower
is gone. Are your shoulders
broad enough for that heavy
weight ? You will sink under it
and he down by the side of the
child in the same grave. No,
not that- because "as thy days,
so shall thy strength be." . When
the time comes you find larger en
durance of. the soul .than you
have credited yourself with, and,
though the future days may be
gray! days and the sun never
shine in quite the old way, you
can bear .the sorrow; you do bear
it with a fortitude borrowed from
the angels. 5 "-
Each depends on 'your faith.
No soul that looks at heaven can
be crushed by anything ; that
happens on the earth. Once get
a glimpse of the , future, , once
see the boy in the garments of
the immortals and though your
heart breaks vou would not call
him back. It is faith that light
ens our load while doubt doubles
its weight, One glance at God,
and fate can do you no further
harm.

TE OLD "CITY OF RALEIGH.'
It is well known that the first
active association of the English
with the American Continent was
at Roanoke Island, North Caro
Una, in 1584. The first colony
which they had established in
the following year was soon
abandoned after many hardships.
In 1587 they planted a second
colony on the Roanoke Island,
and here Virginia Dare was born
andiManteo was baptized into
the English church. The col
ony wras named after its pro-
and is the lost colony which has
given rise to so much specula
tion. ;:: M ? v f
At the end of tEree years help
arrived from the Old World, but
there was found no memorial of
the colony except silent gravea,
a palisaded fort, and carved on a
tree at its entrance the word
Croatan.
It is believed by some that the
descendants of this colony now
reside in Robeson county. North
Carolina, but this claim is dis
puted by others.
The site of this colony was
lost to the world until in 1654 a
party of explorers from James
town visited Roanoke Island.
They found only the dilapidated
walls of the old fort.
Since that day the tooth of
time has steadily eaten away at
the structure till now only the
trace of the wall is shown by the
half filled ditch. A recent writer
thus described its present ap
pearance : " i ne ditcn is gener
ally two feet deep, though in
many places scarcely percept
ible. The whole sit is over
grown with pine, live oak, vines
and a variety of other plants
high and low. A flourishing oak
draped with vines stands senti
nel near the centre. A frag
ment or two of stone or brick may
be discovered in the grass and
then all is told of the existing
relics of the "City of Raleigh."
Recently the Roanoke Colony
Memorial Association, which
was formed in Baltimore last
whiter, has come to the rescue of
the old fort. The association
has bought a tract of about two
hundred and forty acres of land
on the northeast corner of the
island at the cost of about $1 , 500
Ten acres of this are reserved for
the grounds of the fort and the
rest will be held for the benefit of
the Association. The first meet
ing was held at Baltimore, May
22, 1894, and the following offi
cers were elected: Prof. Edward
Graham Dares, of Baltimore,
President.
W. D. Pruden, Esq., of Eden-
ton, N. C, Vice-President.
Dr. J.S. Bassett, of Durham,
N. C Secretary and Treasurer.

CHICAGO STRIKE TROUBLE.
Debs
and His Associates at Lib
erty Under Bail.
Chicago, July 25. Dels,
Howard, Keliher and Rogers are
at liberty under bail, pending
the hearing of the various cases
against them. They were this
afternoon required to give $7,000
bonds, covering five new indict
ments, in addition to the con
tempt cases brought by the Gov
ernment and the Santa Fe rail
road. The hearing of the con-
tempi cases was continued until
September 5th, and it is the
ur-
pose oi the defendants attor:
neys to force a hearing on the in
dictments before the contempt
cases are again called. At this
morning's session of the United
States Circuit Court, the Judge
entered a formal ruling, denying
ihe defendant's motion to quash.
He held the Railway Union was
committing unlawful acts in in
terfering with inter-State com
merce, and he proposed to find
out. what connection the defend
ants had with it. The case was
postponed on account of the ill
ness of Government Attorney
Edward Walker. The attorney
for the Sante Fe road attempted to
force a hearing on this complaint
but the judge thought he ought
not to be forced into taking two
doses of the same medicine and
put over both cases together.
W hue the court adjourned at 11
o'clock this morning, it was 4
o'clock before the bonds were
furnished. William Fitzgerald
and William Skadel, who were
already on the bond of the de
fendants for 2,500 each, signed
the additional twenty-eight bonds
and the aggregate amount of
their guarantee is $9,500 on each
of the four men, or $38,000.
On account of the large num
ber of bonds to be furnished,
Judge Crosscup this morning re
duced the bonds on contempt to
$1,000 in each case.
The defendants all declare
themselves ready for work to
morrow morning. A meeting of
directors is to be held to-morrow,
after which President Debs
will decide on his future course.
He is desirous of going to his
home in Indiana for a short stay
and will probably leave for there
to-morrow afternoon. He re
fuses to say what he intends to
do until he can look around and
get his bearings after being
locked up for a week. He claims
that his organization is increas
ing in strength daily and talks as
if he would bet doing business at
the old stand within twelve
hours.
Attorney W. W. Erwin, coun
sel for the A. R. U. officers,
caused a sensation in the con
tempt proceedings to-day by vio
lently assailing the Government
officers and indirectly attacking
the Court. During his speech,
which was delivered immediately
after the adverse decision of the
Court on the defendant's motion
to squash the information against
the prisoners, Judge Woods was
visibly excited and although re
tamg control of nis anger,
showed his suppressed excite
ment by his trembling hands
and agitated expression. Erwin
asserted that in cases of injustice
the power of the people back of
the Government reverts to the
teople, and as he spoke his tall
frame quivered witn excitement,
his eestures were wild and his
voice rose almost to a snrieK.
Beginning his speech with a re
view of the trouble leading up
to the strike, Erwm declared
the railroads had entered into a
conspiracy to sustain tne gun
man Company in the latter s
fisrht with their employes. The
Court must decide the supreme
question, he said, : whether . the
men were not lust in resenting
such a conspiracy when the
courts were silent regarding it,
Such a conspiracy did exist,
he said, "and the courts and of
ficers of the Government g
no redress. The question is
whether the people are sovereign
or whether they have delegated
all their powers to combinations
of wicked men and to represent
atives who are asleep. Had the
men a risrht to resent this con
s piracy of the railioads Jo sus
tain Pullman in nis innumanity
and illegal acts?'

Monument.
Editor Akgus :
Dear Sir In behalf of. the
Goldsboro Rifles, I write to
thank the press throughout the
State, and others, for the many
kind things spoken of them in
relation to their efforts to erect a
monument on the battlefield near
Benton sville, in memory of the
heroic Confederate soldiers who
laid down their lives for our be
loved Southland. Kind words are,
in a measure, some encourage
ment, but it takes money to build
monument and lots of hard,
earnest wrork. I also regret that
some have spoken unfavaforably
of the uudertaking, on account
of business depression, etc.
We fully recognize that money is
exceedingly tight, and that times
are distressingly dull, therefore
we have decided to hold a bazaar,
and propose to put the price
so low that all can help and, at
the same time, get full value for
their money. Time, in its flight,
has wrought many changes: but
we should ever cherish, and keep
green the memory of thetConf ed-
erate dead. The Rifles have
nothing to take back and no ap
ologies to offer in any way for
the brave men who fought for a
cause they thought was just, and
who nobly laid down their lives
in defense of their homes, and
we propose to try to do our duty
in perpetuating their memory.
I appeal to the patriotism of
every man, woman and child in
our city and couuty to aid us in
the task, though a pleasant one,
we have undertaken. This resting
place has too long been un
marked, and a monument to
their memory must and shall be
erected, if the Rifles have to dis
pose of their grey uniform, and
its captain place a mortgage on
his personal effects.
Respectfully,
T. II. Bain,
Captain Goldsboro Rifles.
Sleeping Cars and Travelers
Rights.
Mr. Pullman is quite often
re
of we
we
f erred to as the "inventor
the sleeping-car," which.
thirk is not strictly correct.
About fifty years ago, as
have read, there was a sleeping-
car fitted up and used on some
occasions on the Fredericksburg
road, which then extended only
from Richmond to Acquia Creek
But that car had stationary
berths.
A similar car, but better fin
ished and furnished, was in daily
use for many years after the
war on the Chesapeake and Ohio
railroad, betwreen Richmond and
the White Sulphur, and the
prices charged on it were only
half of those now demanded by
the Pullman Company.
The invention of Mr. Pullman,
if we are correctly informed, is
ot movable berths, and adap
tation of the sleeping-car to-day
use.
The great fault of the old
Chesapeake and Ohio sleeper
was that it was useless in the
day time. It either had to be
side-tracked in the day or else
hauled as dead-weight. Mr.
Pu Iman's invention was of a
car suited to passenger-service
by day or night, and the great
feature of it was its movable or
adjustable berths.
In Europe a number of the
chief lines have "bed-carriages,"
which are, in fact, very neat and
comfortable sleeping apartments;
butthe rates for these are high;
higher than the Pullman Com
pany exact here. Une or two
lines, we believe, now use sleep
ers built for them by Pullman,
but the use of sleepers abroad is
limited, one reason therefor be
mg tnat tne distances wmcn
separate communities are com
paratively short. It is but tour
hours travel from Liiverpool to
London; but seven hours from
London to Paris.
Our railroad companies have
to pay Pullman a fixed sum per
mile to induce him to put his cars
on their tracks. It is a business,
however, which pays Pullman
more than it does the railroad
companies.
A prevalent opinion witn tne
traveling public is that Pullman's
prices are too high. Another
complaint which is frequently
heard at this season of tne year
from day passengers is that
some railroad companies "play
into" Pullman's hands by failing
to provide sufficient accommoda
tions for their patrons; tnus ao
solutelv compelling many of
them to seek seats m the Pull
man coaches, for which. of course,
they have to pay extra, "
Rppent occurrences iare cromsr
tbv cause a very powerful search
o-
light to be thrown upon all of
Pullman's methods. That it will
result in benefit--to the traveling
public we hope -and- believe.

Washington, July 27. There
was a very noticeable absence of
flurry and excitement in and about
the Snate Chamber this morni:
as compared with the scenes of
the last three days, and there was
a corresponding falling off in
the number of spectators in the
galleries. This was due doubt
less to the general understanding
that the day's proceedings were!
not likely to be of a very excit
ing character; that the programe
os the Democratic caucus would
be carried out without any hitch,
and that the request of the House
for further conference on the
Tariff bill would be complied with
unconditionally.
In the morning hour the con
ference report on the Fortifica
tion Appropriation bill was pre
sented and agreed to. The con
ference report on the Army Ap-
propiation bill was presented and
agreed to. The conference re
port on the Army Appropriation
bill was presented and went over
till to-morrow.
The resolution offered yester
day by Senator Allen, calling for
copies of correspondence (tele
graphic or otherwise) of the De
partment of Justice with railroad
officers and the United States dis
trict attorney of United States
district attorney of Chicago, dur-
ing the
recent industrial troubles
in
Chicago" was taken up and
agreed to without objection.
At 2 o'clock p. m. the message
from the House asking further
conference on the Tariff bill was
laid before the Senate, and Sena
te, and Senator Quay withdrew
the motion made by him yester
day to amend the pending mo
tions of Senators Vilas and Gray,
so as to put sugar on the free
list. At this time very few Sena
tors were in their seats.
Senator Gray raised the point
of no quorum and the roll was
called. Sixty-one Senators re
sponded. Senator Vilas took the floor
and addressed the Senate in a two
hours' speech, delivered off-hand
and with much oratorical effect.
His speech was highly eulogistic
of President Cleveland, whom he
defended from the charges of du
plicity, and of improper interfer
ence 'with legislation, made by
Senator Gorman in his speech of
Monday. He spoke of Mr. Cleve
land as the ' 'great first citizen of
the republic" and as the repre
sentative of the national honor;
and he declared, with solemnity
and vehemence, that to assail
Grover Cleveland was to strike
at the republic; that to insult him
was to sting the heart of every
true American. In conclusion,
he withdrew his motion of Friday,
to strike of Friday, to strike out
the additional discriminating
duty of i cent a pound on sugar
and favored Senator Gray s mo
tion to insist upon the Senate
amendment and to consent to
further conference. He did this,
he said, because he was a strict
party man, and desired to be in
accord with his Democratic
brethren. He expressed the hope
that out of the conference would
come a measure far better than
that which had already passed
the Senate. All the conferees,
he said, knew the sentiment of
the Senate on the sugar question,
and he was sure that the senti
ment would have its true and
proper weight.
Senator Vilas was followed by
Senator Stewart, who criticised
the President's letter as an in
vasion of the legislative power
such as had cost Charles I. his
head.
At the close of the debate,' the
vote was taken on Senator Hill's
motion to recede from the duty
of 40 cents a ton on iron ore and
on coal.
At the suggestion of teenator
Allison the motion was divided so
that the vcte should first be
taken on iron ore. The vote re
suited yeas, 6; nays 65.
His motion in regard to . coal
was lost by the same vote.
Senator Caffery withdrew his
motion in favor of a modified
sugar bounty for 1894.
"i ne only question leit was
Senator Gray's motice to agree
to the further conference asked
by the House.
As the vote was about to be
taken, Senator Vilas' motion to
recede from the i cent a pound
discriminating duty on sugar was
renewed by Senator Washburn,
Republican, of Minnesota. '
"A point of order was made
against it, and tnat point was
discussed, without a conclusion
being reached, until 5:45 o'clock,
when the Senate adjourned.

If the Third party
people all
through the State will adopt
and publish such resolutions as
were adopted by the Edgecombe
county Third party convention,
they will show up badly before
intelligent aud reasonable peo
ple.
We cannot see how any man
with proper ideas can either join
or continue to affiliate with a
party that adopts such a jargon
of meaningless sentences as res
olutions to represent their prin
ciples. Take them as an ex
ponent of principles or as a sam
ple of wit, they are not credi
table to any party that would as
pire to control the affairs of such
a government as ours.
We print them, not for their
literary merit iu any sense of
the word, neither for the princi
ples they enunciate, for they
enunciate none whatever, but to
let that part of Ihe world with
which this paper comes in con
tact, see how senseless a jungle
of words men mabe induced to
endorse.
The following resolutions were
adopted by a unanimous rising
vote :
Whereas, The Honorable
Grover Cleveland, the President
of the United States, in the lan
guage of the campaigu speakers
of 1892, "is greater than his
party;" and that "we love him
for the enemies he has made,"
and by his administration ho has
proved that he is still greater
than his own party. Therefore, be
it
Resolved, 1st, That we love him
for the Populists he has made by
his "soup house administra
tion. 2nd. That we thank him for
leading his party into the ranks
of the gold-bug plutocracy, so
that his honest but deluded fol
lowers might see "where he and
they were at."
drd. 1 nat we have not seen
the good times promised by the
give us a chance" speakers in
1892, and also by his message to
Congress, on the repeal of the
Sherman silver bill; that proba
bly they have been lost in the
committee room, in the scramble
over the tariff bill; that we rec
ommend that he appoint a com
mittee to search for the same.
4th. That while we do not ap
prove of the Coxey method of pe
tition to a gold-bug and monopo
list Congress,-by going to Wash
ington to look for the good times
promised by JNlr. Cleveland and
Congressmen, yet we sympathize
with them in their distress, and
recommend that hereafter they
make their petition at the ballot
box; that should they ever again
go to interview a gold-bug mo
nopolist Congress, they should
travel on palace cars and have
their pockets filled with gold; or
make the trip in balloons so as to
"keep off the grass."
oth. That hereatter when the
"dear people" assist the monopo
lists and their agents to get in
to power and office, they, "the
damn people." should imme
diately after the election, take a
trip to the moon or some other
place and stay until the next
election day, so as to save ex
pense of providing them with
free soup. --
6th. Thaf if Mr. Cleveland
will aid us in the future as iu the
past, we pledge him that we will
burry him by ballots in Do so
deep in private life that Queen
Lil can never find him.
7th. That a copy of these res
olutions be sent to the Caucasian
with the . urgent request that
same be published; and other re
form papers be requested to pub
lish same. ...
