The following letter has been sent to the Neivs and Observer with the request to publish it. It was either written by the daughter of a legislator to her father, or ought to have been written by a loving daughter who is so unfortunate as to have a father as a member of the Fusion branch of this General Assembly: X Roads, N. C, Feb. 26, 1895. Dear Pa: Knowing, as-you did, that Ma was quite unwell, and having written to her that you would be sure to come home to see us last Saturday night; and knowing as we did, that you had a free pass on the railroad, and that it would cost you nothing to come, you cannot imagine how greatly we were disappointed at your not coming. But ma, who is always disposed to look on the bright side of things, said it might be that you were detained by some important legislative business, and that when the mail should come on Monday all would be explained. So we sat down to supper and tried to be as cheer ful as we could, under the cir cumstances. But every now and then ma would sigh and say: "I feel just like some great trouble is coming upon us. I don't know why it is," she went on to say, "but I just feel miserable." After supper Mr. Smith came over, thinking you were at home, to get the news from Raleigh, and to hear how the Legislature was getting on. I was real glad that he did come, for I thought he would cheer ma up and keep her from having the blues. But he had not been in the room five minutes before he told us about the House adopting a motion made by a negro, to adjourn in honor of the memory of Fred Douglass, who married some fool of a white woman and for ever disgraced her race. I saw ma's face turn red and then ashy pale, and she looked as if she would fall from ber chair, and then I heard her say in a sort of undertone: "Oh, my Lord, I do wonder if he voted for that?" and she got right up and left the room. I followed her out, and found her on the back porch wringing her hands and saying: "Oh, my Lord, I do wonder if my husband voted for that?" "No, ma," says I, "you know pa did not vote to adjourn in honor of a negro who believed in and practiced miscegenation. Remember, pa has daughters of his own, and you know he wouldn't vote to honor the mem ory of a negro who tried to pull down the barrier between the whites and the blacks and open the parlor doors of the whites to admit negro men to visit their daughters. Pa wouldn't do such a thing as that. Besides, I have heard pa say a thousand times, that he had rather die than to see the day when negro men should be allowed to marry white women; and you know, ma, said I, "that after pa was elected he said, a number of times, that he was just as much a Democrat and as much opposed to negro supremacy in the State as he ever was. tso vou mav lust Know tnat pa did not vote for that motion This pacified her somewnat, and after a while she went into the house and went to bed; but heard her groaning and moaning all night long, and I wished a thousand times that night, as lay there and listened to her, that you had never heard of the Farm ers Alliance and oi the Peoples party, but that you were just like vou used to be before you got to mixing with the Kadicais ana the negroes. Sunday was a gloomy day to us, notwitiistanumg it was so ght out doors. AJa had a bad headache and remained in bed most of the day, which I thought would do her good. She rested better Sunday night, and Mon day morning she really seemed a little cheerful and I thought she was getting along right well The mail came over at 12 o'clock and being sure that she would get a letter from you, explaining why you did not come Saturday night, ma met the mail boy at the door, and took a hurried glance at the mail but found no letter. Just then brother Tom opened the News and Observer and seeing a picture up m one cor ner. he said, "Hello, what's this?" Ma, and all of us turned toJook at the picture, and before I had made out what it was, ma screamed and fell to the floor as if dead. We did not know what was the matter, for neither of us children had seen the picture well enough to see what it was. We carried ma into her room and laid her on the bed and sent for Dr. Jones at once. When he came we were tellin, him how the attack came on, re ferring to the fact that we were looking at a picture which brother Tom found in the paper, when she suddenly screamed out and fell senseless to the floor. The Doctor said that picture must have had something to do with bringing on the attack, and asked for the paper. After look ing at it for a moment he noded his head and said; "Here it is," at the same time pointing to the picture representing the members or the legislature weepmg over Fred. Douglass, the negro mis cegenationist. "Here," said he, "is the cause of her sudden ill ness," pointing with his pencil to one of the men who stood weeping by the cothn. "l)o you know him, Alary r" asked he. "Of course I do," said I; "that is my lather. My lather weeping over a negro whom I have heard him say many a time he heartily despised." And that was all I could say, for I felt like I could sink through the floor. Mother is still in bed and the Doctor is apprehensive that the worst has not yet come. She is entirely beside herself, and ever and anon I hear her moaning: "Disgraced! disgraced !" Oh Pa, I do believe it will kill her. Your disgraced daughter, Mary. Beware of the Democratic Corpse. We have been requested to publish the following poem which has been going the rounds of the Democratic press. The Ra leigh News and Observer introduces it as follows: "It has something of the dash of Tennyson's "Charge of the Light - Brigade, " though some what inferior to that poem in euphony. It is like Whittier in homeliness of illustration, and, like the Quaker poet, the author makes an imperishable fact live in song. The author of this poem is a Texan, which will ac count for the more forcible than elegant expression with which it concl udes. The Democratic party has been officially declared a corpse at least a dozen times in a hundred years. Those who have under taken to lift the remains of the party into the coffin have had the experience of the man who offered to help bury a dead mule, aud have been carried away on litters. We advise all who anticipate attending the funeral of the Dem ocratic party-to take out heavy accident policies before coming near the corpse. Dead as it may seem, it will attend the funeral of the Republican party as it has attended in the past the funerals of the Federalist, Whig, Green back and a dozen other parties. But to the poem: When the lion eats grass like an ox, And the hshing worm swallows the whale; When the terrapins knit woolen socks. And the hare is outrun by the snail. When the serpents walk upright like men, And doodlebugs travel like froers; When the grasshopper feeds on the hen, And leathers are tound on hogs. When Thomas cats swim in the air, And elephants roost upon treee, When insects in summer are rare. And snuff never makes people sneeze: When hshes creep over dry land, And mules on velocipedes ride; When foxes lay eggs in the sand, And women in dress take no pride; When Dutchmen no longer beer drink And girls go to preaching on time; When billy goats butt from the rear, And treason is no lonerer a crime; When humming birds bray like an ass, And nmoerger smells liite cologne; When plowshares are made out of glass And the hearts ofUarolinians of stone; When ideas grow on Populists' heads, And wool on the hydraulic ram Then the Democratic party will be dead, And this country won't be worth a d n. Saying One Thing, Doing the Other. "Two farmers in Wilkes coun ty, a lew years ago," says a Georgia paper, "were discussing the cotton question, when one said: 'I have about concluded not to plant a seed of cotton this year. The other said: 'Well, I am glad to hear that; I hear so many men say the same thing that I am going to plant every acre of my land m cotton and get ten cents a pound for it next fall." The first man then said: 'Well, I be lieve I will, too. This will be the year to make big money on cotton.' This is an actual occur rence. Tbe two men are well known citizens of Wilkes county.' This is an argument which will always stand in the way of reducing cotton acreage by any such means as combining to plant less Cotton. Were the great majority of Southern plant ers ready to stand together m carrying out these sentiments, no doubt the crop would be greatly reduced, but the area in the cotton States is too great and the num ber of cotton planters too large to make cotton crop reducing as sociatlons of any permanent ben efit. The present agitation may accomplish something this year, but the best possible work is to induce Southern farmers to learn by experience that they can make more money raising bread- stuffs than in producing cotton, as we go marching on. As the Charlotte Observer says, the South has evidently got a hump on itself. If it hadn't news papers up North wouldn't be talking about us so much; Ohio capitalists wouldn't be coming down our way so much to mine gum uu unuci ixiiugj. auo, auu. New England manufacturers wouldn't be so badly scared up as i hey are scared up in regard to Southern competition in cot ton spinning. le following appears in the Ne. ' York Sun: it is pleasing to know that the South Carolina farmers are giving their minds to the en largement of the hog crop; that the coal mine owners of Alabama and Georgia have taken m ans to enlarge the production of coal; that the horticulturists of Texas are adding to the varieties of fruits which they raise; that the Florida planters are turning their attention to the cultivation of lemons; that the North Car olina cotton manufacturers are building new mills in a doz en counties; that there is more interest throughout the South than there ever was before in the raising oi grains and vegetables; and that, all the while, the cot ton planters are not willing to reduce the amount of the acre age devoted to the great South ern staple. We have gathered all the foregoing facts from re ports recently obtained from the States of the South, in which re ports confidence may be placed. We need not here give details of evidence in confirmation of the statements. "For five or six years past the cry of "diversify the crops" has resounded in the South from the Potomac to the Rio Grande. We have always regarded the advice as good as sound. We have ught it could be put in prac tice, too, without diminishing the cotton crop, for there is such an abundance of fertile land and available labor in the South that under wise direction, the lesser crops could be increased without any decrease of the larger crop. Besides, it should be considered that the cotton planters can bet ter bear the prevailing cheapness of the staple if they raise their own supplies of grain, meats, vegetables and fruits. 'In addition to the diversifica tion of Southern crops, there is a remarkable enlargement of the iron and coal industries of the South, and its cotton manufactur ing industry. "We agree with those who talk most hopefully of the develop ment of the immeasurable re sources of the Southern States. The spirit of ' the new South is aggressive and progressive " TIGHT IT OUT. We hear a great deah of talk these days about making the sil ver question the great issue m the next national campaign. Free silver leaders lika Mr. Bland and Mr. Bryan declare that if the Democratic party does not plant itself squarely and unequivocal ly for the free and unlimited coinage of silver a party will be organized which will -go before the people with that doctrine as the central plank of its platform There are some Republicans who occupy relatively the same posi tion. We hope sincerely that this issue will be tried. We want to see the line drawn as clearly as it possibly can be so that the re sult must be accepted as the ver dict of the country. If the free silverites believe what they say about represent ins: the great majority of the people thev should prove the courage of their convictions Let them come out boldly and give the country a chance to say whether or not it wants the free and unlimited coinage of silver independent of the other commercial nations. great Those who oppose this scheme have no fear of the result. xne issue cannot be made too sharp for them. Thev are ready to meet it now or in 1896. rhe fight should be made and the result should be decisive, We cannot afford to have the slightest uncertainty about our financial svstem. It should be u based on a fixed policy and the next national campaign should be so shaped that when it is over the silver question will be rec ognized as settiea ior a long time - . . t "1 A to come. . Financial uncertainty is - fata to business enterprise and na tional progress. Let us have done with it. Let our own peo pie and all the world know just what sort of money we intend to have. No sane man can believe that either the Democratic or Republican parties will favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver when they go before the country in 1896. Let those who consider this the great question take it up and try conclusions with their opponents. xi tne iree-suverites mean what they say they will do this. If they retreat from a conflict which they are dared to enter it will be a confession that their cause is hopeless and that they are a setot blow hards. Therefore no matter what they ! do the next election will settle the silver controversy. It would however, be far more creditable to the free silver advocates to fight instead of skulking. we trust tnat tney will screw their courage up to the sticking place do their best and accept the result m good faith. KINSTOJf IN RUINS. A Two Hundred Thousand Dollar Fire Sweeps tlie Town Last Night: A Cigar ette Does the Work. Special to The Akgtjs. Kinston, N. C, Feb. 28. Al most the entire business portion of Kinston is a caotic mass of smouldering ruin the work of a terrible fire this evening. The fire originated in Field's livery stables, and is supposed to be the result of a cigarette hands of a boy. The Bank, Hotel de Tull, and every store from River street to Mcllwane's is gone, and se eral buildings north of Gordon street are destroyed. The town is in great confusion. The Newbern fire company ar rived about 7 o'clock this evening on a special train and are now throwing water upon the fire, which they have under control. The lowest figure at which the loss has been estimated is 200, 000. TYKBADELL THOMAS CAT. The subject of this sketch was a venerable individual m the sphere of catdom, having readed the advanced age of 12 years, 8 months and two days, when he died, which occurred last Friday night. Tyrradell was a pious old gent, but was very knowing especial ly in regard to politics, having sat around the fire long winter evenings for years in his owner's headquarters and listened to po litical discussions 'till he had grown wise in the cause, and a Democrat to the core, as is his now lonesome owner, Mr. John W. Edwards. Tyrradell had been ailing for some time, but his younger brother "Jimmie" and friends had thought him improving, but the news of the Crews resolution in honor of Fred Douglas, sus tained as it was by the Rep-Pop Legislature, was more than Tyr radell s keen political sagacity could master, and he died of pa ralysis in the attempt. "Jim- mie mourns his dead brother as a political martyr and feels that but for the "Douglas resolution" he would be living to-day. NEWFOUNDLAND'S DISTRESS. ine extent oi tne distress m Newfoundland is only beginning to be understood by the outside world. Distress is not the word to describe it actual hunger and impending death by starvation for thousands confront a popula tion of 200,000 souls, unless re lief prompt and generous be forthcoming. In the capital city of St. John's there are to-day seven thousand men, women and children de pendent lor bare existence on one meal a day, .and that the scanty public ration of a bowl of soup ! The dreaded ice-pack from the Arctic will speedily isolate the outlying ports from all com munication with the rest of the world. The country is bankrupt, financially and commercially The home government offers no help. The people of Newfoundland have not been improvident. They are among the most industrious, ill-paid, selt-denying toilers in the world; but they have never had a chance to benefit by the fruits of their own industry. The boundless natural resources of the island have been left unde veloped by the parsimony or stupidity or the alien corpora tions owning the land in which they lie. Newfoundland has been treated as a step-child by the British government because its citizens would not consent to join their political fortunes with those of Canada. They are now threat ened with deprivation of N self government and relegation to the position of a crown colony; but the political grievance is com paratively a slight one. The awful, immediate condition is one of wholesale distress, with the spectre of famine in the fore ground. GLEANINGS. Items of Iiitcrcst Clipped from our State Exchanges.
