Oct Uoke, of this otty, t dehrer ad dresses on the issue of the hour. There was a very good ad highly in terested audience in $eropolitAn HfiU to greet them. Mrl Ed. C. Smith, chairman of Wki County Democratic Executive CdSmmittee, in ttpducevl Mr. Manningwjbo made one of the closest cut andf moat logi oil talks erer heard in this city. He dweltflaainly on the Tariff jtad "spe cial tax bonds." The fdrmer he showed up as being V "scheme .by which, unscrupulous politicians and grasping monopolists and their hire ling Were fostering solely for selfish purposes, and not, as they profess, for the protection of the war king man. An obvious truth of the tariff is, that it make the price of goods higher. Mr. Manning wanted t Know, this being so, how the workiiig jnan was ?roteoied by being made to 'pay more at the goods he uses thin he, would hare to pay if the Tariff fas made lower and goods consequently cheaper? He wanted to know what kind of pro- lection this same working .man. bad when he was living undef the opera tion of an institution kofn as the Tariff, which taxed wht he (the working man) had to buy from 50 to 80 per cent, when that same institu tion only demanded l(J lf zy per cent from the rich on what thfy wanted to bay. ! That, he truthfully laid, was something of an exposition of the Tariff; and he believed th'atihe work ing men-those who found, themselves struggling - to maintain them seles find their families-w aid wake to ii proper knowledins of these facts and cause, by their ballots, a change in the present stteof affairs greatly to their advantage. I He then took op tHe "special tax bonds." Said that the Itepubhcans ha nominated a man for vice-president who wanted the U, S. Supreme Oourtlo force the State of North Carolina! td payout $27,000,000 for a lot of fraudulent bonds for which the 'State had never received anything, and jhat the Re- fiublicans in this State were) so abso ately lost to the interest of their State aa to be, whooping Upland aup- mg that man whoee name is vi r. Morton. lie went on to say and show that if these bonds, under Republican rule, should bej ordered paid, that Wake county alone would have to pay an annual interest tax on them of $664,000; wnd be was right when ce said that suchiasthing aa that would bankrupt ana iruin the county and .everything fa. ii. It is pretty safe to say that every one who heard: Mr. Manning' presentation of these thine firmly resolved that he would do all his power to prevent any such unholy imposition on the mm . - m people of this State. Uapt. Coke followed &r. panning. Id hit address he was eloquent and powerful. He speaks with reason and conviction. Nothing withstands the foreevand argument he!.: chooses to make: Last night he gav a short review of Republican rule from '68 to 76. It was a condensed and bristling array of facts showing the ; miaman agement, carelessness, corruption and oppression of thai party. Then he briefly reviewed tne existinfif state ol affairs, telling it as everybody see it. He wanted to know whyihe Kepubli cans sought control of the State. Did thev want to sto back to the teUo ol 97 per da j for legislators t Did they want to renew the old system: of county government in line eastern "counties Did they want to put colored school supervisors there? Did they want to e:ect a negro luage in tne; eastern ois tnct and have that negro presiding in all the courts of the state? Col. Coke then told of the public eduoa tional facilities now offered by Demo cratiO management for 'both white and colored people. Did the Repub licanf want to get back iftto power so thev eould take the school money, as formerly, and break up 'the schools? These questions went; home to everybody who heard tfcem. They doubtless wondered I What in the -. mischief the llepublicans were driving at. .remaps a consid eration of Borne of the questions would suggest what they, want. Do the white people want any 'of those matters changed. Capt-i Ooke paid graceful tributes to Cleveland, Thur- man, nere ne too a rea panaanna from hi pocket and tire audience cheered wildly) Fowle and Sunn. He then Struck Mr. John Xficiols. He aid that these were two great par ties. : John Nichols was jpot the nom inee of either, but posed S3 ? an inde pendent. Independent of What? Of common decency ' anq) ourtesy ? He tut himself forward; unasked and unendorsed by any body or party In this John Nichols reaembed only one creature on the face tf the earth. Just after creation it is said; that the lion called all the beasts' of. the field together, and the eagle (palled all the birds together. The lion sailed his roll. . When he had finished, the eagle called to the lion that he hai omitted the name of be bat. The lion in mighty anger, and with a roar . that shook the foundations of the earth, thundered back that the bat was no beast. The, eagle then called his roll. When he) had finished the lion called to him hajt he had omitted the name of the bat. The eagle answered in a scream which pierced the heavens that' the bat was no bird. So it is. with Nichols. He bushwhacks, skips hither -and yon, avoiding the towns and cities, pick ing np a Democratic gnat here and a Republican mosquito tuere: and on the sixth of November J hi will find himself in the position qf the bat; unowned by any class, i; n welcome in any party and shut off Fnd put hope lessly and forever.

It? was or dered that when the House aJjournB today it be to meet on Monday next. The time was consumed in discuss ing the bill called up by Mr. Hooker, of Massachusetts, for the relief of the widow of F, S.

Sherman, Admiral rorier and other Army and NavV officers testifying to the loyalty of the claim ant. The bill was finally withdrawn. Mr. Rice, of Minnesota, presented the report of the special committee which has investigated tne cnarges against Representative Stablnecker, of New York, in connection with the new library building, ihe report says: :.. . "The testimony is very lull, and the examination was given considera ble latitude greater, perhaps, than the matter at issue would strictly war rant in support of the charges. The committee iB unanimous in the opin ion that the evidence does not sustain the charges, and there is no impres sion on the mind of any member of it that Mr. Stahlnecker is not fully ex onerated from all charges of any- improper attempt, by persuasion, in-, timidation, or other corrupt means, to influence or control the action of J. L. Smithmeyer, architect of the libra ry, in the selection or acceptance of any material to be used in the con struction thereof: nor does his action in connection therewith in any way reflect or leave a shadow of suspicion upon his honor or upon the dignity or honor of the House of Represen tatives. They desire also to say, in conclusion, that they are satisfied from investigation that the distinguished gentleman who offered the resolution and set on foot the inquiry (Mr. Kel ley, of Pennsj lvania) was actuated by the most honorable motives and sin cere desire to vindicate the integrity of the House of Representatives." . The report was ordered printed and laid over. The House then went into com mittee of the whole on the private calendar.

New xork State is conaideied safe for Cleveland, and the Republicans have no hopes of -carrying it. They seem to have some hopes, however, of carrying JNorJi Carolina, as they are betting even on the State going Republican. Con necticut is considered doubtful but California ia counted on atrong for Cleveland. That State ia almost con ceded to the Democracy. Michigan, too, is considered as a Democratic State. A prominent and well known citizen oi xuicaigan one a ay jasi wees, in a New York club house, put up $10,000 against $7,000 that Michigan would go for Cleveland. The feeling among the Democrats in New York is one of safety. Cleveland's chances are now considered better than ever before. rnbllc Speaking. Hon. W. M.

At Belmont, Alamance county, Thursday night, a crowd assembled to bear Mr. Nichols, it being his ap pointment. Mr. Harden, who is runuiDg as the Republican candidate for sheriff, in troduced Mr. Nichols as "the Repub lican candidate for Congress." There upon Mr. J. A. Long, who was pres ent, asked for a division of time. Mr. Harden said Mr. Nichols was present and could speak for himself. Mr. Nichols said very emphatically, "No!" that he wouldn't divide time ; that these Democratic lawyers 'had been hounding him down at all his ap pointments, &c. He seemed very much concerned at the nsMter, and kept talking about it for a good long time. Eventually he got started on his speech, but after a few move ments, he begged to excuse himself from going on with his speech be cause he waa so "flustrated" by the events of the evening. The crowd thereupon called for Long, and pres ently adjourned to a neighboring Bchool-houae.crying out for"Bunn and Long." At the school-house Mr. Long made one of his excellent speeches, entertaining the orowd for an hour and a half. The crowd was enthused for "Bunn and Long." When Mr Long had finished, Mr. F. H. Whita ker, of Graham, was called on, and he responded in a brief speech, draw ing a comparison between the candi dates of the two parties, and in par ticular eulogizing Col. Thomas M. Holt. This speech was heartily cheered. The Democratic party ia stronger here today than ever before. Com. Death of Dr. Parker. ine jcaizaDetn uity economist, re ferring to the death of the late Dr. Parker, of this city, says : "Dr. Joseph Parker, who died very suddenly in Raleigh early in Septem ber, was long a resident of Gate's county and a conspicuous citizen of the Albemarle section. He waa the oldest son of the late David Parker, of Gates county, who, after the bur den of old age had overcome his en ergies, made his eldest son his confi dential and trusted agent in his widely extended business. This tiust he discharged with filial fidelity, and at ihe death of his father he became hia favored legatee. The same fidel ity to filial duty was a striking char acteiistic of Dr. Parker in all hia do mestic and social relations. His ar dent temperament responded to all the demands of friendship and his home was the heaven cf repose and bappiuess, and so devoted was ho to I the Burrouudngs of his home circle that he did not yield to the tempta tione'of ambition, for w iicb by hia wealth and social attractions he was so admirably fitted, but ia the bosom of his fam ly found that eerece and quiet happ nesa that all the attractive ostentation of society can never give. But whie thus loving his home Dr. Paiker was given to hospitality and always welcomed his friends, and to the needy his hand was open as melt ing charity. When his mind was thus occupied and he forgot for the time his domestic enjoyments his whole purpose seemed to be to contribute to the happiness of hia friends. But the crowning feature of his life was his abounding love of home. It waa hia earthly paradise and his last words on earth breathed the same spirit of domestic devotion. With his expiring breath, when the brittle thread of life was breaking and con soiousnefs had nearly departed, he uttered the sea-oe articulate expres sion that hia ' wife should be sent for" hia devoted and affectionate wife who had been to him all that word impliea the sharer of his joys and sorrowp, his counsellor, guide and friend. . - .

Cor, of the News and Observer. Chapel Hill, Sept. 28, 1888. The linguistic training at the Dni- j versity has been strengthened by the establishment of a Seminary of Liter ature and Philology, whose object is to promote literature and philological study and research by friendly co operation and stimulus between pro fessors and students outside of the class-room. The Seminary held its first meeting this week, and an audience of about a hundred students was evidence of much interest in the work. The sub ject for treatment waa Lyric Poetry. Prof. E. Alexander read a paper on the Greek lyrists, Pindar, Sappho, Alcaeu8aad others, and showed their influence on subsequent lyric poetry. The development of the Horatian lyric was especially noticeable. A general view of lyric poety and its relations to literature was admirably presented. Tender sympathy with the rich spirit of lyric poetry was manifested, and the paper displayed much learning and exquisite literary taste. Prof. W. D. Toy trabed the origin and development of French lyric poetry and gave a brief but pointed characterization of several lyrists of the Romantic school, notably Victor Hugo, Beranger and Theophsle Gau tier. The influence of the Alexan drine metre in hindering lyric devel opment and the triumph of French lyrists in spite of the poverty of the language in verBe feet were strikingly illustrated.' Mr. Logan D. Howell, of the Senior Class, furnished a most entertain ing and critical comparison of the "Amorous Poetry of Horace and of Burns." Apt quotation, tender sym pathy, and fine critical taste marked the entire piper. It showed evidence of literary talent, no less than dili gent and sympathetic study of the authors discussed. When Mr. T. M. Lee, of the Ju nior class, arose to read an original metrical rendering of Horace's Ode to Pyrrha, the enthusiasm of the au dience burst forth and greeted the poetic muse with rapturous welcome The translation was spirited, and showed a creditable power of imagin ation. Xhe tender charm of the original had evidently touched the heart of the reader. A verse translation of Ode 26, Book 3, was also read, 'specially made for the occasion, but without an an nouncement of the author's name It is the Ode beginning, VixipueUia nuper idoneus, which ia full of the most playful grace, an exquisite picture of dudish vanity brought to the dust by the arrows of Cupid, and crying to Ye nas for help and vengeance. The President read before the Seminary a verse translation of Ode 5, Book II, Horace, whichlhad been sent him by Mr. J. E. Mebane, former student. Mr. Mebane had run across it during his literary ad ventures, and with the generosity of a true scnoiar, had sent it to be en joyed by his former teacher. I have rarely heard a more charming trans lation of one of Horace s matchless odes. It lacks the few coarse touches of the original, and breathes forth its exquisite perfume. Probably this reading, as well as others of the pa pers given, will be printed in the University Magazine. Dr. Thos. Hume, Jr., presented learned, scholarly and critical charao terization of Wordsworth, reading typical selections from his lyrics, and honoring him not only as the master poet of this century, but also the founder of a new school of poetry, the poetry of na ture. Nature by.him is exalted to man at the same time man is a simpl child of nature, simplicity and sub limity are the elements which make 1 n v iiii . vvoraswortn s lyrics 'not only poems ol nature, but like nature herself Like all productions by Dr. Hume. the paper was compact, suggestive and inspiring. Mr. W. J. Battle discu&eed Hor ace's lyrics as poems of exquisite per lection ol lorm and wonderful knowledge of life. Common sense and rythmic beauty are blended in rare and felicitous union. The wis dom of Horace was drawn from wide experience of men and life. He has clothed the common ideas and emotions of humanity in language so perfect that alien races and other ages adopt his gems of thought and make them part of their daily life and language. Numeroua quotations of verses, sentences and phrases showed the correctness of this trib ute. The paper exhibited muoh thought, and. waa admirably pre sented. Prof. Winalon discussed the "Phi losophy of Horace" manifested in hi Odes. The batires and Epistles show him first as an Epicurean, then as a Stoic. Finally his mature intel lect, with rare wisdom, rejected both philosophies and accepted as the rule of happiness the philosophy of mod tration and contentment.' This doc trine colors moat of the Odes, and is clearly enunciated in Book Ode 10, of which the professor read a trans lation by Cosyper. Horace s philoso phy is inadequate to produce happi ness It is negative. Horace was a poet deficient in faith. He trusted the gods, but did not love them. The paper closed with a com parison between the intellectual and philosophic resignation of Ode 1U, Book 4 and the combined humil ity, hopefulness and fortitude of the 23d Psalm. The one is the voice of the intellect, the other of the souL The evening was greatly enjoyed by all and the work of the seminary promises to be most benehcial. The officers for the year are: President, Prof. Winston; vice-president, Prof Alexander; secretary, Mr. G. S. Wills; treasurer, Mr. W.J. Battle; executive committee, the officer and Professors Hume and Toy and Mr. L. D. Howell, The subject for October is "The Hi- toriatu. A Stranger In a atranfe Laud . A. Black, Jr. , writes from Andalusia. Alabama, that he was taken with dysin tery of the bkodist type. Doctors were called in to no effect. A stranger bur gested Dr. Biggers' Huckleberry cordial, and to it use he owei his life. JACK FROST HIS PRESENCE PREDICTED FOR THIS MORNING.

This club has been kept in existence or nine yearB through the patronage of the most progressive and intelli gent colored people of the city. The annual exhibition of the N. C. Industrial Association ia the occasion of their greatest efforts, and the in telligent colored people who visit the fair look forward to the Hesperian entertainment with great pleasure. They are usually treated to an un stinted display of literary, social and hospitable amusements. The entertainment last Thursday evening was unusually fine, display ing no small degree of taste and tal ent. One of the noticeable features was the rendition of "The maniac," Hamlet and Richard III by W. R. Davis, formerly of Raleigh, now of Washington, D. C In the role of Richard III the actor impersonated several characters and made the fenc ing scene between Richard and Richmond as natural and vivid as if both characters were present. The cornet solo and vocal music was worthy of the occasion, and the whole entertainment reflected much credit on the colored people of the city. The address of welcome waa delivered in fine taste by E. A. Johnson. Cleveland and Mixed Schools. Hickory Press and Carolinian. Our readers have doubtless heard the Republican charge that Cleve land, when Governor of New York, signed a bill lor mixing schools. Mr. Fortune, the Republican candidate for elector in the eighth district, re peated the charge in his speech at Lincolnton last Saturday, reading from a printed circular signed by W. C. Mailer, a Republican, ; giving the bill with certificates from the Attor ney General and Secretary of State of New xork of the correctness of the copy. The way Mr. Fortune read it we felt mortified, but a friend handed us a copy which we read and felt bet ter. Here it u: "Section 1. The colored schools in the city of New York, now existing and in operation, shall hereafter be classed and known and be continued as ward schools, and primaries, with their !present teacher, unless ruch teachers are removed in the manner provided by law, and such schools shall be under the control and man agement of the school officers of the respective wards in which they are located in the same manner and to the same extent as other ward schools, and shall be opened for the education of pupils lor whom admusion is sought without regard to race or color." It will be seen the law refers to colored schools only. It does not interfere with the white schools at all. No colored child can claim ad mission in any white school under this law and no white child is forced into any colored school. It only pro videa that any Indian, Chinaman or Republican, without regard to color, who feela that he would be more on an equality in a colored school than in a white school, may enter colored schools. That is what the law says, nothing more, nothing less. It is said that on the train yester day, during a conversation between Capt Kitchin and CoL Dockery, the former asked the Colonel to di vide time with him at his appoint ment?, but Col. Dockery demurred. "Well said Capt Kitchin, "I am in dead earnest And I will tell you what, if you will divide time with us I will pay your expenses during the whole trip out of my own pocket" The Colonel still demurred and Capt. Kitchin pressed him to accept the oner bnt the Colonel was obdu rate and declined outright to agree to the proposition. Col. Dockery evi dently don't want to have any more joint discussions.
