Let Lee's Day be a National 11 oliday.
The suggestion is being made
in some xsortliern papers tnat
the birthday of Abraham Lincoln
be made a national holiday. This
suggestion is in the way of a
tribute to an American wrho was
made famous by the great civil
war. His best qualities were
given prominence by that tre
mendous conflict.
When Congress takes up this
bill, however, it will be in order
for some Southern Congressman
to amend by inserting after the
name of Abraham Lincoln the
name of Robert E. Lee,
We may hear objection to this,
perhaps, from Ohio and Maine.
These will be as contemptible as
the men who make them. What
is the object of national holidays
on the anniversaries of the birth
of iirreat men? Such aie meant
not only as tributes to the illus
trious dead but as lessons to
coming: fenerations who can be
benefited by their examples.
The life of Lee affords such an
example, as well as the life of
Lincoln. Furthermore the mak
ing of a national holiday must be
the work, not of the people o
one section, but or the entire
country, It must be by the voice
of the people of this time and not
by the voice of the people of our
civil war time. If Illinois and
what was called the North ask
that Lincoln's day be a national
day, then Virginia and what was
known as the South, ask that
Lee's day be a national day. If
the North asks us to unite with
that section in doing national
tribute to Lincoln, then the South
can with equal propriety asK a
like tribute to its Lee. Richmond

"Where are we at?"
The sudden death of Frederick
Douglas, the foremost negro
in America, not by deserts but
by the combination of fortuitous
circumstances, occurred at his
home in Washington, D. C, Wed
nesday night, and yesterday the
Rep-Pop-Fusion House of Repre
sentatives of the General As
sembly of North Carolina ad-
ourned in his honor.
Fred Douglas as every one
know 3, was a mulatto, who was
born a slave, but ran away at the
age of 21 and made good his
escape to xsew xorii. xie naa
acquired a pretty fair education
in his slavery davs, which aided
him in engineering his escape
and helped him in his thus
acquired freedom to gain no
toriety. He leaped into prom
inence at one bound at an anti-
slavery meeting in Nantucket in
1841, where he made a speech,
and delivered himself with such
force and venom against the
South that he was at once em
ployed by the "Massachusetts
Anti-Slavery League" to take
the lecture field m behalf of the
emancipation movement, that
culminated in the war between
the States.
After the war Douglas pressed
himself into the field of politics,
with his past prestige to give
him force, and was made secre
tary of the San Domingo Com
mission, in 181, under President
Grant; and in 1872 he was. one of
the Republican Presidential elec
tors otNew iork.
Subsequently he was for a num
ber of years, until the Kepubli
cans went out of power, Regis
ter of Deeds for, the District of
Columbia, and while incumbent
of that office married a white wo
man.
When President Harrison came
into power he made Douglas U.
S. Minister to Hayti.
This is the record in brief of
the man who, though a negro
himself, eschewed his own race
and attempted to promulgate
amalgamation, by marrying a
white wife: this is the man,
"neither fish nor.fowl," as to race,
but very foul always in his
abuse of the South, in whose
"honor" the lower House
of the General Assembly of
North Carolina, by the major
ity vote of its Rep-Pop fusion
contingent, adjourned yesterday

Butler's Etheopean will have

Charlotte Observer.
The lower house of the Gener
al Assembly adjourned Thursday
in Honor ot r reaericK uoagias,
colored, who died Wednesday
evening. The action was taken
upon a resolution introduced by
the colored member from Gran
ville, and the vote was 34 to 20,
all the Democrats voting no.
Douglas was a man of high
ability, aud the colored race held
him in high and proper esteem.
His intellectuality commanded
for him a large measure of re
spect from the white people of
the Souths but there was noth
ing in his life or public services.
nothing in the view he took and
expressed freely of the South
and or feouthern people, to sug
gest the adjournment of the
Legislature of a Southern State
in his honor when he died.
But this action derives its prin
cipal significance from what pre
ceded it. However ill it might
be regarded if viewed alone, it
shall not be looked at by itself
but in connection with preceding
events. What ? These : That
a resolution to adjourn to-day, in
recognition of Washington's
birthday, had just been voted
down; that on the 19th of Janua
ry, before there was any claim
that the work of the session was
'essing, the Legislature refused
to adjourn tor the birthday of
Gen. Robert E. Lee.
These are the facts, all inter-
wined, which we press upon the
consideration of the people of
North Carolina. The House re
fused to adjourn in honor of Geo.
vVashington; refused to adjourn
in honor of Robert E. Lee; ad
journed in honor of Frederick
Douglas.
We declare with all due delib
eration that it has disgraced it

This morning when the servant
employed by Mrs. Mary E.
Speight, went into that lady's
room to make a. fire, she made a
horrible discovery. Her mistress
was" sitting in a chair, near the
bed, and when the servant spoke
to her did not answer. Then the
servant looked closely and dis
covered that her mistress was
dead. She ran screaming from
the house and summoned several
neighbors who quickly came but
found that the girl's statement
was true.
A doctor was summoned and
after making an examination,
pronounced the cause of death
was brain trouble. The neigh
bors thought her heart had failed
but this was not the case.

STANDS BY HIS PRINCIPLES.
It is a very common thing for
representatives in Congress to
be told that it they do this or ao
not do that they cannot be re
elected.
This game has been tried on
Hon. Sam Clark, editor of the
Keokuk, la., Gate City.
Mr. Clark met the threat as
every man of convictions should.
He was elected to Congress
last fall and a few days ago a
brother editor warned him that
he would be a one-term congress
man if he did not favor free
silver.
Mr. Clark promptly replied
that he did not intend to trouble
himself about the effect of his
eonduct on his political future
The people of the district were
well aware of his views on the
coinage question when they
elected him and when they want
an exponent of different views
as their representative they can
, him. Mr. Clark said further,
that free silver coinage means in
inevitably a dollar worth only
about 49 cents, and he will not,
as a representative of the people,
consent that they shall be swin
dled out of the larger half of
each dollar for the benefit of any
speculator.
Mr. the people of the hrst dis
trict, said tie, "want to pound
me to death politically for that
they can do it, but they cannot
change my convictions."
On Mr. Clarks manly state
ment the New York Evening Post
makes the following apt com
ment:
"It is refreshing to find a Con
gressman who is not afraid to
talk in his own straightforward
way. The free coinage folly
would never have reached its
present dimensions if those rep
resentatives of the people who
knew what a humbug and fraud
it was had told the truth about
it.
.Miscegenation Endorsed.
Several weeks ago a proposi
tion was made in the General
Assembly to adjourn in honor of
Robert E. Lee, on the occasion
of his birthday. This resolution
was voted down, although by en
actment of a prior Legislature
Gen. Lee's birthday is a public
holiday in the State, and the
public buildings are closed on
that day
Yesterday a resolution was in
troduced to adjourn until 10
o'clock on Saturday in order to
pay respect to the memory of
George WasErhgton, whose birth
day is alsp a legal holiday. This !
was voted down.
At the same session that the
resolution to adjourn in honor of
Washington was voted down, the
following resolution, introduced
by Crews, colored, of Granville,
was adopted:
Whereas, The late Frederick
Douglass departed this life on
the 20 inst. ; and whereas, we
greatly deplore the same; now.
therefore,
Resolved,. That when this House
adjourn, it adjourn in respect to
the memory of the deceased.
These three dates the birth
of Lee, the birth of Washington,
and the death of Douglass are
compassed in one month. This
Creneral Assembly, deliberately
and after debate, voted down the
resolutions to honor the memory
of the Father of his country, and
Robt. E. Lee, who, with Grant,
was among the heroes of Che
pultapec, and the commander of
the armies of the oouth, but put
on record, in the journals of the
House, a resolution of adjourn
ment "in respect to the memory
of Frederick Douglass."

Three more seizures of illicit

his escape. Deputy Gibson re

The Climax of Infamy.
The ac'.ion of the House in pass
ing a resolution that when it ad
journed it should do so out of re
spect to Fred Douglas (and his
white wife) has created a sensa
tion in every part of the country.
We can understand how it should
excite surprise everywhere ex
cept in North Carolina, but it
ought not to have occasioned any
surprise or consternation here.
In fact it ought to have been ex
pected. It was only a logical se
quence to the other acts of this
Legislature: It began by kick
ing out a one-legged, ex-Confed
erate soldier to maite place tor a
hearty negro man. It turned
down another maimed soldier,
and made him accept a subordi
nate piace under tne negro,
which he would not have done
but for his extreme poverty. It
elected a negro politician from
Cumberland, to whom the Lieut.
Governor, every Senator and
employer has to go to get an or
der for his per diem or wages.
The House has passed an elec
tion law framed with the purpose
of enabling negro voters to re
peat without fear or detection.
It has gone from step to step
along this line of Africanizing
the State until the negroes who
share the feelings of the Rich
mond county darkey, are all fully
satisfied, 'I'se seed down to Roily,'
said he, "a sight Is e long been
a-wantin' to see, and that is white
men a-workin' under a nigger."
The resolution of adjournment in
honor of the negro who married
a wnite wile, and thus proved
himself an enemy to both races
and the peace of both, is worse a
thousand times than either of
the others.' It is the climax of
it all, and must not only bring
the blush of shame to every
wrhite man in the State, but also
disgust every negro who has any
race pride or self-respect.
THE POET OF NATURE.
Lovers of poetry and when we
say poetry we mean poetry will
be richly repaid and inexpressibly
delighted by a perusal of "Phi
loctetes and Other Poems and
Sonnets." a volume of much mer
it written by Mr. James E. Nes
mith, who in his poems proves
himself to be essentially a poet
of nature in her grandest works,
and he interprets her with a new
ness of thought and a riigged
ness of expression that charm
and hold the reader, and im
press you with the sincerity and
seriousness of the author.
The work is strong and true
and grave, almost to the verge of
pessimism, for the writer leaves
the lighter manifestations of na
ture the song of the birds, the
seasons' changes, the green fields
and the musical streams, to the
joyous throng of singers who ca
rol of the sunshine and leafy
woods. The grandeur of the
rugged mountain, the ancient
time-stained rocks, the sea-washed
crags, the sighing ocean, the
scarred and riven canons, and
the agonized, lava-strewn earth,
these are the phases that appeal
most strongly to one who looks
beyond the record written in fire
and pain upon the breast of earth
to the great directing Cause,
dominating all.
The poem of "The Grand Can
on of the Colorado River" is al
most epic in its strength and
treatment, and he paints this, the
most tremendous natural specta
cle of the Continent, if not of the
world, with the hand of an artist
inspired by the eye and soul of
the poet, for its lines were con
ceived and written under the in
spiration and in the presence of
that marvellously beautiful and
impressive scene where
"Domes, temples, pyramids dark gulfs
between
And stony vales, anfathomable deeps
