'As the StatesviuV Landmark says, the result of the municipal, elections throughout the North and-";. West last week are very significant and are worthy of aU the space devoted in this paper to the subject It ' is noteworthy that Chicago changed a Republican majority of 20,000 into a , Democratic ' majoriiy pf 12,000; that St. Louis, from a Repub lican city of 8,000 majority,,: becomes a. Democratic City of 1,600; that the whole drift of elections everywhere was in fa vor of the Democracy; out most signifi cant of all is that in the general election of Rhode Island, that manufacturing and reliable Republican State became , jemocratiqi and its Legislature, in which ;thew was a Republican majority of 71 last year is now nearly a : we ueiweeu th Wo"twrties. The number of fail- greater Tucsdav last to Harris Township. Mr. Faul Jones, one of our rising young lawyers was introduced to the large crowd in the Court House, in a neat speechbyDr. J. E. Malone. Mr. Jones came forward and said: 1 Friends and fellow citizens : now than at the same time last year and the number of protected industries which are shutting down or reducing wagos is greater. Can it be that the "good times" which we were to have upon the advent of a Republican ad ministration are failing to showup and that this fact exnlains the tidal wave? Had we convened this atternoon for i ft ccrtajplv foots Uke something is the anv subiect of debate or for the discus- . -, sion of any political question, jpither;of which I thiuk the;- people of Franklin county are always ready and eager to participate in. I had remained silent I had&ept my seat until my elders had expressed themselyes, or rather 'till most of the usual persons had disclosed their opinions, bat for my haste and eagerness in ibis matter I presume to expect of you your pardon, for by the request of him who sent me fto you, I, today am the happy bearer of a mes sage that tingles with victory the" hap py bearer of a Fanner that sounds of re- ward, and this is an event that should gladden the hearts of victorious men, an event fraught with pride, free from envy. Last felCow nearly a year ago, our country from North to South; from East to West, was in commotion and excite mnt. Our State was exercised, and the Democracy of our county, in the. hottest of the ranks, was struggling add striving for the ascendency. National ly our party lost. We were overpow ered and conquered. But, friends and , fellow citizens, let us congratulate our selves that at home,neath our own vine and fig tree, under the shelter, of our own huts and cottages, there suc cess was ours, there 'the victory was won. - 1 ' 'r ' : v'V - :' ' ' , Again let us congratulate ourselves that we have men among us tried and as true as steel, giants in the land of our birth, men who well deserve the same of victors. Such are the people of Harris township, to whom this ban ner belongs. ! ' Friends and fellaw citizens of Harris township : You have won this prize. Your exertional and majority over the foe are not unappreciated. We thank you for it. We nonor you for it. This is your reward, the least among many. A reward that is the offspring of your " AndnAw m the name of those two;' whose presence so gracefully adorned our Representative Halls at Raleighy yea in the name of all Franklin county, I present to you this banner given by that clever gentleman and the best of Vour friends. Mr. J. A. Thomas. theN accomplished editor of the Franklin Times." "::-' Ye, men of Harris Township, who in ' the midst of trial and strife and : times that try men's souls and bodies, ye who rolled up 162 majority for your party Democracy, take this : banner, receive, it, and with it those beautiful christian words, "Well doue, good and faithful tenants." May you nenceiortn and forever sustain in the future as in the past your reputation as being the ban- ner township .of Franklin County, '. North Carolina. ; k. llrl R. A. P. Cooleyi of Nashville, fotmerly a Fnmklin county boy, and 'of I Harris township, responded in behalf of the Democrats of that township. His remarks were to the point and well re- edved by the large crowd present, and both his and the speech of Mr. Jones were loudly applauded. At the cbnV elusion of Mr. Cooley's remarks, Mr. W. Y. Mann, Chairman of the ' Demo cratic Fjcecutive Committee of Harris . townshjp came forward amid much ap plause, and received the ; Banner.. It wai a Ycry pleasant affair and . the Times feels feels very much gratified at the many expressions , of thanks . It ." has received not only from the Demo crats of old HarriV, but : of r the other township of the county, for the interest ' its exlita-nra success of ., grand old party. matter. Again the Landmark says : After twenty-five years of disaster the Democracy gained the presidency vx '84 and after holding it four years sustained another old-time crushing defeat last fall, its funeral has been preached regu larly every four years during the twenty-five, and last fall the orations were more'elaborate and the obsequies with which it was consigned to oblivion more solemn than usual. Yet , last week, when nobody was looking for anything of the kind, the old thing hobbled up se renelycame boldly to the front in va .riousjquarters of the Unionfand brought iU knitting with it. Really after all there is no need for surprise. History is'only repeating itself. The Democrat ic party has a vital which is inextin guishable. Itjhas lived longer than any other party ever lived. "Age cannot wither it" nor j defeat dismay it. It will be alive, and doing well when the youngest of us are dead. It is the party of the people. And that's the reason why. ' , 'v- WILLIAMS oLCUMI5EK- . j LAND. ' ' ' . One of the crowning, acts of Senator Williams career in the last State Senate was his soul stirring speech iu behalf of the Confederate pension bill. Those who heard Mr. Williams on ' this occa sion say his speech was overflowing with patriotic sentiment toward the crippled braves and full of the keenest sarcasm for the enemy of the appropria tion. Round after round . of applause greeted his well finished, remarks. In tne muse oi ms speecn, However,, - one poor, unfortunate Senator, saw fit to treat! him with contempt by groaning. Then it was, that the gallant ''Sycamore of the Cape Fear" excelled himself and pointing the finger of scorn at the in truder, said: "Your feeble and contemp table cries will not throw me off my guard; I have heard groans before, amid the roar of cannon, the rattle - of mus ketry and the clash of the sabres, while suh as you'were crouching behind the 20 negro act." ' It is needless to say that tne most deafening applause sounded throughout thai halls of the Capitol for five minutes following these remarks, and the Senator from Cumberland came out with flying colors.

Washington, April, 12, 1889. i; If the shades of the members of the first Congress and its immediate suc cessors could read exSenator vChace8 strong appeal for better pay ' for mem bers they wouldurelyemile. The sal ary of $5,000 a year and mileage now paid to a Senator or Keprcsentative. with the additional, in the Senator's 'case, for the pay of a private secretary, would have, seemed to those dead and gone Congressman, an allowance fit for a king. The first members of Congress were paid 86. a day for actual attendance at the session of Congress. Sometimes y a member had to make a journey on horseback of 500 miles in order to at tend the session. He was allowed a mileage of S6 for every twenty miles he had to travel in going or returning from a mm session. Taking delays on account of bad weather and bad roads into cousid f ration, 20 miles was about an averasre days journey, so he was paid prsfcticaUy o a day from the time he left home un tu he returned. In 1816 the first move 'in the direction of an annual sabrv without regard to attendance was made and Congress voted its members $1,500 a year. congress evidently received soinesnarp rebuke for thia extrava gance, for the law was repealed the nest year and shortly afterwards the com pvuaauou was nxea at 95 dollars per j: rnt . . . . uieui. xuese statesmen 01 tne new re public received their pay ia a much de preciated currency, but the style of !iv- ihe Yrnternit, $&iU fff 2 TTl friend, hav- J J - .

A Holler WilL One of our thriftiest farmers, who had just bought five barrels of flour, for his own use and that of his tenants, said in our hearing, that if he could get such flour made at home, he would never buy another barrel; that he could easily raise, without lessening his cot jon crop, wheat sufficient to make all the Dour tha. he and his tenants would consume; that he had tried iu vain for a great many years to get at our o'd-fashioned mills, a satisfactory quality of flour, and on this account liad,abandoned the rais ing of wheat.

' The Advance believes the Farmers Alnance is the best organization ever effected by the farmers of this country and we believe it is doing a work that will raise this community out of debt or at least accomplish a great deal in that direction. Weihave no patience with that sentiment that contents itself with sitting around and growling at ev erything and everybody. We like the Farmers Alliance because it proposes remedies for the evils that the farmers have already labored under; because it builds up the manhood of the '-- wa and inspires them with a desire 0 fciow and do that which will be of nuki tw tical value to its members. Th-; or ganization has ' aroused : the spirit of progress and set anoat : '-current ot thought wliich wiUy be.- the means ot grand arid glorious results in the. not far distant future.

Wilson .Advance. . The Timks agrees with the Advance that the Alliance is the : best ' craniza tbnthe farmers have ever effected.' The objects of the Allianqe are good, and if bad designing men can' be kept out ot it, a large amount , of good will be accomplished by the organization: If our farmers do not keep , on their guard, however, men who have no love for them or their interests, will creep in ! at the8ide-door and pull the wool J over their eyes beforethe know it. We have already seen in this State the signs of some of theenthusiistic(?)members of the Alliance who are there only for sinister motives, and not for tire good they may or ever can do ; the farmers. We are g'ad to say that up to date they are few but as we said above, it will be to the iuterest of tlie farmers to be on the alert, lest they may be hood-winked 1 and ' de raudei by those evil designers. even witn a discount off was enough to provide a member with the ordinary comforts of the times. In 1856 the pay was raised to 0,000 for sendee in one Congress or $3,000 a year. At the close of the waT the advance was made to5,000a year. In 1874 a further advance was made to 47,500 a year, and Congress made itself ridiculous by votinz itself back pay at that rate from the be ginning of the Congressional term and then hastily repealed the law increasing congressional salaries under stress of popular condemnation. Some members, nowever, kept their back pay. It is not sate tor any man in Congress to , begin an agitation for an increase of pay, but a man who has resigned his seat, as Mr. Chace has, and returned to private life can, without rendering himself open ' to criticism, open the campaign. In every new Congress some men are missed who have declined re-election because they cannot afford to serve. . - Some busy members pay out yearly to their clerks as much as they receive in salary. It is said sometimes, as a reproach, that only rich men can get into the Senate. It might be said with equal truth that only rich men can afford to go 1 to the Senate -.; '.' . . ' for any during the last fair or five, and with the encouragement which a good roller mill would give to, the increase of this valuable crop, we aught safe pre dict thatthe imnortatlon of flour here would be greatlv reduced. Let us hope that some of our enter prising millers will look to his own in terest and that of the public at once, by ihe immediate erection of a roller mill. Advance. I The Times would suggest the same to the millers in Fraaklit. From the present outlook the wheat crop in this county promises to be good, therefore our nfllers should be prepared to make first-class flour.
