V 7: 4 Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, APRIL 15, 1886. Prohibition Meeting. A small party, a naif aozen, perhaps, met in the Conrt House io this place, last tsaturdiiy, in response to the movement started at tJreensboro, some weeks ago. JtJwiU be remembered that the Greens boro meeting organized a third party in the State, to be known as the Prohibits Party, and the meeting here on Saturday ratified the measure and joined hands Wtyb the formers of the third party. tte paper condemned the Greensboro meeting at the time, and of course can giye no support to its auxiliaries. nly a few years ago the State Voted gmjtbeprohihitiou question direct. The result is fresh in the minds of the people, ft wus defeated by the astounding ran t Jorfty of 118,000. And yet in the face i of this overwhelming defeat, a third party, styling itself the Prohibition Party, ha been organized and will hereafter fome before the voters of the State ask ing their support. y 0ut we are informed that this party doe0 not expect success this year, nor the next, nor the next; but are looking far Ahead, some thirty, forty or titty years benjse. They are laying the foundation of a new party for their posterity to work op to success. The history of the abolition J party affords the example which sustains the hope of ultimate success. Meanwhile this third party expects to vibrate be tween the Democratic and Republican parties, first favoring one and then the Otbejr; and always ready for a trade with one or the other, having no political principles of its own except prohibition. Nw it is well known that this paper has juuiformally advocated the cause of Tenjperance. Its senior editor joined the firsti temperance society ever formed in this town in 1832, or thereabout. But the Watchman's temperance proclivities cannot bear the third party movement. If ojur radical fellow citizens are willing to give up all their political notions for prohibition, let them do it. It would be no great sacrifice but a good enough trade for them to make. Democrats can stand off and look at the transaction very com placently. They may even rejoice at it on the principle of wishing well to their fellow citizens. But the Democratic party are the main stay of civil liberty in this country. They have the heaviest and most honorable resnousibilitv de pending on their firm and steady devo tion of any people on this earth to-day. I tt them think about it. They cannot afford to trade with any party. The more they think about it the further off they will get. means of it enabled to exert on labor, it is not to be wondered at that the latter should seek in organization the only protection left it against oppression. Wealth has ever been insolont and ex acting towards dependents; and their restiveness in these times may be fair ly set down to the account of the high er and better intelligence of the labor class, seeking to shield itself against oppression- Should capitalists meet the issue now being, made up in the light of these truths, and make reasonable concessions thereto, it is believed there will be no very serious trouble: and the organization of the two forces may prove a mutual aid in accommodating any difference that may arise between them. But on the contrary, should capitalists and employers make the grand mistake of meeting the issue defiantly, showing no disposition to yield to a reasonable adjustment, there is abundant reason to fear that it will produce consequences of a more serious nature than can now be predicted. The Knights of Labor and the Outcome. The huge proportions, the thorough . fttjonuaiiiitmri th .dromma of th mpnstrations of the Order, especially in the West, are arresting the attention ot thinking men in all parts of the country, some of whom are endeavor ing to forecast .the outcome of it. This, of course, it is very difficult to do with . -ramd v snreadino- infill t r . . I J " J letnoieiy to Dlame J tl UJ. 111CII Jay Gould. mi , , i T 1 TT " 1 "11 The "Ventral Liuoor union neia a meeting at Clarendon Hall, New York City, Sunday last, and passed resolu tions expressive of sympathy with the strikers at St. Louis, and condemning Jay Gould by name, as follows: Whereon. The workingmen of New York in common with their brethren through out the country, have witnessed with lively interest the struggle now going on between the workmen. of the South west - era system of railroads and the arch ene my of the republic, Jay Gould ; and Whereas, Every effort has been tried by the general omcers of the Knights of Labor to bring about a speedy settlement on terms favorable to the companies, .but every such effort has been repulsed and the officers betrayed, as might have been -expected by our knowledge of Jay Gould's record ; and Whereas, We believe it is the intention and purpose of the great enemy of the American people to destroy all labor or ganizations ; therefore be it Resolved, At this meeting that we de nounce Jay Gould and his minions for their refusal to treat with the representa tives of the workmen on the Missouri Pacific, and hold him and his representa tives responsible for every act of violence that has or man v hereafter take nlaee : and Resolved, That we pledge ourselves and our respective unions to aid in every way morally and financially, our brethren now on strike or who may hereafter go on strike to sustain the integrity of organiz ed labor ; and Resolved, That we hereby urge the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and every other labor union to assist the men on strike in every way. Resolved, That we appoint a committee to prepare the way for executing a gener al boycott on Jay Gould in this and other cities, and use our utmost exertions to persuade all others to do likewise. The Central Labor Union voted $500 of Labor. The Ciarar Pak-Pr NT 9.i. voted $50 for the same purpose. .The question of responsibility for the East St. Louis-riots, and the killing or eignt persons, is now the subject of inquiry by the coroner s jury, and will no doubt be carried into the courts. Jay There is a man in Santa Rosa coun ty, Florida, who has supported jm family npon the produce of a few pecan trees. Less than fifty years ago, a man while walking over the ground where these trees are, had in his pock ets some pecans sent him" from Louisi ana, and thinking they might grdw, made holes in the sand with his cane and dropped in each hole a nut, coher ing it with his foot The forest thus planted is now more Valuable than an orange grove, yielding a better per cent, to the owner. The pecan is hickory tree and the timber about as good as theshell bark hickory. It can be grown in all parts of the South with profit. Luke Blackmer, Esq., Dr. J. J. Summerell, and perhaps others about town, have pecans growing on their premises, though the trees are yet too young to bear fruit. The Silver Question. is not yet settled. There is a large ma jority of silver men in Congress, who hold to Senator Beck's opinion that the silver dollar should be just as good for the bondholder as for the people. The Secretary of the Treasury has hereto fore paid out the gold to bondholders and silver to the people. It is believed that a bill will yet be brought forward to require the payment of silver to bondholders as well as others, as it should be; and when done, bondhold ers will find it to their interest to hold up the value of silver instead of crying it down. And the credit of the meas ure, should it pass, will be wholly due to the firm demand of the people whose rights and sense of fairness and justice have higherto been outraged by the practice of government officials. Burying the Dead. Last Sunday was a gloomy day in East St Louis. The funerals and bur ial of 5 of the 8 persons killed by the deputy sheriffs set to guard railroad property, occupied the day. These ser vices were attended by thousands, mostly working people. There was no disturbance: but a sullen, deep seated spirit brooding over the population, which may be inflamed at any moment. lllacres and taking into ?memberhip laborers in all the various permits of life. It seems to be solid in structure, intelligent in action, and inferide in earestneas; and in many respects different from any organ ization of similar aim yet kuown in this country. Questions between its mem bers: and employers pass up from local associations by" regular eradatiorw to the Supreme authority for final decis ion; and a decision by its highest court -ot tribunal is binding on every mem ber of the Order throughout the coun try, an making the cause of the com, plainants their cause, and supporting it With all fbo . .i . 4 P v m ineir possession. In fine, it is a thoroughly organized body of citizens representing Uhm- , mutual protection against the encroach ments of capital and monopolies law ful i its declared aims and purposes WMi if it can hold toother. nW,W work arevomtion in the business af f airs of the countrv. .

J-ne inquests are over, and the jury have caused the arrest of the den- i I urn . i uty snenns wiio did the killing to be held to answer for it. The Bribers. The New York City proceedings against members of the Board of Al dermen for the year 1884, within the las few days have widened out, very prop erly, the Grand Jury having found in dictments against the bribers as well as the bribed. Eleven alderman have been arrested and put under bonds to appear and answer. There are indict ments against 20 out of 24. The Legislature of the State has bill before it forfeiting the Broadway R. R. franchise on the ground that was obtained through bribery. The New York Star very justly denounces the measure us more likely to puhis innocent people than the guilty, being f life 9twtfLmMrltf aVeileoriai notice of the arrests m;ido. "Our City's Shame." Striking While the Iron is Hot Ihere is no risks in saying that there is not a people on the face of this earth who can beat our Yankee cous ms in knowing when to strike a telling blow. They learn it early, beginning wuen iney are yet little boys. Go into a New York hotel for dinner, and you w . I. - L L I 1 - c cne aining room door as you come out by a little toddler, looking you straight in the eye and holding up a bundle of little sticks, and saying "Buy a tooth pick, Mr. ?" A step or two further on and you meet another little trader who greets you with "Have a cigar and matches, Sir." Reaching me ironi aoor, if it is Strange Sport cock hghtmg, dog fighting, bull baiting, horse racing, etc., are amuse ments very generally known to the people of this country through news papers, books, etc.; but who, until now, eyer heard of sparrow fighting as a sport conducted by men. It remained for the New York Chi FTPS A frk anokfn battle between the New York and Sn Francisco snarmwa And strange to say, these little bircs are wonderful fighters. They pitch iiito each other with fury and fight to the death. Out of 22 matched for battle 14 died in the pit. Large sums of money staked on the contest changed. hands. The New York birds whipped out tneir western cousins. T i - it is creditable to the city of N York that this cruel sport is prohibited. ana can only be conducted without in terruption in secret places. The New York Star has interviewed a leading merchant of the city on the fitness of women for cashiers. The answer was enthusiastically in their favor. They are quicker in making change and more accurate; they are honest and keep cash accounts better; they are more apt in detecting coun terfeit and mutilated money; they see more of what is going on in the house; detect more of the irregularities of salesmen; and report them with more delicacy they are all right,. and far ahead of men in all respects, according to this witness. "Go rock the cradle, John." The New York Star, of April 12th, heads its column of crimes with the suicide of Major W. H. Quincy, a law yer, formerly of Baltimore, a Major in the Confederate army. Financial diffi culties the cause. Then follows the suicide of an Ital ian .cart driver in a tunnel. He was crushed nearly to death by an accident, and ended his sufferings by the pistol while the Doctor was gone for his case of instruments to relieve him. Last Tuesday was the 25th anniver sary of the firing on Fort Sumpter the first gun fired in the late war and last Friday, the 9th inst., was theJ twenty-first anniversay of Gen Lee's surrender at Appomattox, Va. Judge Win. L. Jackson, of Louis ville, Ky., a General in the Confederate service, who was known in the army as "Mudwall" Jackson ,in contradistinction to his relative "Stonewall" Jackson, is pushed as a candidate for U. S. Circuit Judge. There were 82 saloons found open in New York last Sunday, and 82 arrests made for selling liquor contrary to law. A petition is in circulation about Washington asking Congress to pay all the repudiated debts of the States. It is urged that national honor demands and national credit necessitates the measure. The fact of it is, no doubt, that the holders of the repudiated State bonds seeing no chanee to collect them out of the States which issued them while in the hands of reconstruction thieves, would try an appeal to Congress. We suppose the members of the nation al assembly are a little too smart to be hoodwinked by the managers of this scheme for depleting the treasury.
