The Great Danger.
Wilmington Star.
The great danger that threatens the
people of this country is in the hands
of the few who become rulers by
means of their wealth. Expreme pov
erty in a republic is to be deplored, but
not more so than the possession of co
lossal fortunes by individuals, because
while one becomes venal when temp
tation offers, the other lecoines the
corrupter and the purchaser when
emergency requires. Capital is imper
ious, if we may use the expression. It
combines, plans, plots, forms alliances
offensive and defensive to protect it
yeif or to extend its sway. In this it
knows no nationality, no sect, no
party, no race; it is simply bold-blood-ed
capital, thinking planning, acting
for i tself.
The great fortunes possessed by the
millionaires and ni my millionaire eof
this country are nearly all the growth
of one generation.
What will they be in two or three
if they continue to increase with the
same rapidity that they have in the

HER APPROACHING MARRIAGE TO YOUNO
MU. WILKINSON, OF SYRACUSE.
A dispatch from Syracuse, N. Y., to
J he New York Sun says :
The story of the courtship and en
gagement of Miss Winnie Davis, the
" Daughter of the Confederacv,' to Mr.
k Alfred Wilkinson, of this city, reads
like a fairy tale. I he wooinix coveis a
period of three op four yearsr but to
fully understand - the circumstances
connected with the corning of Miss
Winnie to Syracuse and her introduc
tion to Mr. Wilkinson it is: necessaiy
to go back to the year 1820, when Jef
ferson Davis was a cadet at West
Point. Among Davis' classmates and
chums at the Military Academy was
Wm. H. Emory, afterward's Gen.
Emory of the Nineteenth Army Corps,
that did such brave fighting under
Sheridan. Young Emory and Davis
were fast friends, and this friendship
was still further cemented by their
campaign' in Mexico in low. wnen
peace was declared Emory was ordered
to Washington, where lie continued in

When the gieat war broke out the two
friends found themselves facing each
other on the tented field, although for
some time it was feared that Gen.
Emory would follow his old-chum into
the Confederate ranks. Indeed, Em

theUnion ranks. The General, how
ever, was loyal to the stars and stripes.
One of his sons, Thomas, was then a
student at the University of Virginia,
and when the war broke out he de
cided to Hght under the stars and bars.
He therefore enlisted ill the Confeder

fluence of Jeff Davis was appointed
surgeon on board4he gunboat Florida.
At one time during the war he lived at
Mr. Davis house in Richmond "for
some six mouths. The Florida was
captured near Brazil, and young Emory
was taken as a prisoner to Boston,
which elided his, naval career. The
other brother, Campbell, entered the

for his bravery.
When the war closed it was the most
natural thing in thf wprld that Jeff
Davis should renew the, friendship of
other daysyne Could not come him
self, but he decided to send his daugh
ter Winnie to visit the people he loved
so well. Dr. Thomas Emory came to
Syracuse and engaged in the dry goods J
ousiness with the big firm ot 1). Mc
Carthy & Co. Hisfather and brother J
Uarapbell, were ootii dean at tne tme on
Miss Winnie's first visit, here. The visit
Occurred some four or live years ago
It was at Dr. Emory's -house that Miss
Winnie first met jfoung Wilkinson,
who was on intimate terms, with the
Emory family. There was certainly
AO affinity, but rather a divinity that
shaped their ends and brought them
together. Neither had anything in
common. One wis the grandson of
the most pronounced abolitionists, the
other the daughter of as pronounced a
yro-slavery man. One came from the
North, from a people that had been
trained in the hardships and rigor of a
northern clime; the other troni tne
South from a people whose traditions
and temperament Avere largely due to
the influence of the southern clime.
Youn'r Wilkinson had not yet gradu
ated from Harvard, while Miss Winnie
had become a repository of facts in
history and philosophy, and had earned
no mean reoutatiou us a writer. In
deed, one of the things that gave her
so fascinating a hold upon Syracuse
society was her education, mainly se-
e.'.rpd while nctim? as amanuensis for
her father. In one or two northern
nifipt nrevions to her advent here, it
was rumored that she had been received
with coolness. The news only served
to increirSff young Wilkinson's atten-
" mm 11
iiAiw tn Misa Miss Avinnie. and lie
boldly championed her cause in Syra
euse.
A second visit to Dr. Emory's ji year
or two later brought Miss Winnie and
voiinsr Wilkinson again together
Their friendship had never waned dur
ing the separation, and they soon came
fn in . psip i other in mini retrain.
When she returned to her southern
Lome she was uo I'Miffer '"heart whole
and, fancy free." Her father neve;
dreamed of, moch less desired, such a
consummation, but the secret of the
Imvpi-s was carefully suarded, and the
Confederate chieftain passed away
without receiving any intimation of
his daughter's choice. v

own it all?
Thirty years ago farm mortgages in
this country were few and far between;
now the' are so numerous that the
man who owns an unmortgaged farm
in some, sections, is looked upon as a
rare exception. These mortges are
held by the men who own the wealth,
Suppose they were to decide to fore
close the-mortgages which they hold
on the people who were unable to meet
them, how long would it be before
the owners of a majority of farms in
this country and the former owne;s
would tenants? That they have not
done so or do not do so because they
do not care to incumber themselves
with the possession which would in
volve the cares of the farms and are
satisfied as long its they receive the in
terest on the amount of money repre
sented in the mortgage.
They could, however, if they saw
lit to demand the payment of the
mortgages upon maturity of the debts;
disposes. and baggar thousands upon
thousands of the farmers of the
country.
They already own the great rail
way systems and are reachiag out to
possess themselves of what they do not
own, which they deem it desirable 'to
own.
They own the telegraphs which span
the continent, and connect State with
State, city with city, and the cables
which stretch along the Ocean s floor
md connect the old world with the
new. ,
Tliev own the great oil mills, out of
which colossal fortunes have "been
made; they control tne meat ousiness
of the country, and can dictate the
price of every pound that goes on the
market. Through their combinations
md exchanges they control the staple
crops of the country finite as effect-
ualiv as it they were actually in their
possession.
Owning and controlling these, it is
astonishing that in this venal and self-
s?eking day and generation they should
own and control legislators, who do
their bidding as the trained dog does
the bidding of his master?
Is it strange that boodle figures so
effectively in tilling seats in the legis
ative halls ot the country, national and
State?-
It is surprising that the standard of
nua ihcation tor a seat in the U. to.
Senate is getting to be the possession
of many dollars and that in contests of
this kind money almost invariably
talks charmingly and convincingly?
This accounts for the presence in the
Senate of men who it were not for their
money, would not attract attention in
a fourth rate assembly.
These are the men who are directly
and indirectly ruling the country to
day by shaping the policies by which it
its "ovenied and securing their Icgisia-
- - - -
i tion of Count Herbert Bismarck to ob
struct the JSmperor's policy."
This unfortunate attitude of Bismarck
is, if he could only see it, a complete
justification of the young Emperor
in retiring him. There can be but
one master in Germany, and fate?
whether kinp or evil, has called Wil
liam II. to that place.
Bismarck, who has foreseen so
much m the course of his wonderful
life, ought surely to have foreseen that
thirty-one sind seventy-five do not
mate well; that new rulers must haVe
and ought to have their own pmple
about them; that a young en pe.or
cannot openly, in the face and eyes of
Europe and America, go in leading
strings and thus shamefully confess
that he is only a puppet and unfit for
! his place and its duties. Punch, in a
popular cartoon, pictured the Emperor
as captain of the German ship of state
bowing the pilot Bismarck down the
side. "Dropping the pilot," said
Punch, but in Heaven's name, is not
th:ir. in fhp romilnr nnlwr nf lmirrsf
Does any captain carry his pilot with
him across seas.
But Germany is endangered ! Pshaw !
If the security of Germany depends
on one man, and he a man of seventy
five, worn down by the herculean; la
b.'re of n i.irly half i csatary, w I f(j.,
as all old men are, to his own ways;
incapable, as old men are, of fitting

to new times, new ideas and new com
plications if Germany is not safe in
deep water without this pilot she is
surely in a bad way. We do not be
lieve anything so bad of her. Ger
many does not depend on any one
man.
We had over here once a melan
choly lot of people who imagined that
this country depended on Grant. But
we intend no disrespect to the General's
memory we say that this country got
along rather better without than with
him. We lost in a most critical mo
ment, a far greater than Bismarck, but
while Lincoln's death appalled the
nation, this country went on just the
Mime.
But the Emperor is -a young man!
Well, this is the age of young men;
and surely no one has ever so vigor
ously scolded at old men as Bismarck
m his vigorous youth. It is the age
of voting men. Events move more
rapidly than ever before; new inven
tions, new discoveries, new idem, new

W. S. Gilbert is remarkably quick
at repartee, and numerous stories are
related illustrating his aptness at re

leaving a party, and was standing in
the vestibule waiting for his carriage a
snobbish young nobleman emerged

a footman, said sharply:
"Call me a four-wheeler.'"
Gilbrt calmly adjusted a single eye

"You're a four-wheeler."

NORTH CAROLINA S PART IN VIRGINIA
IVilmlngtOD Messenger.
North Carolina did her full duty
from the first gun at Bethel to the last
gun at Appomattox. In a hundred
battles she illustrated her devotion to
the Confederate cause and the splendid
bravery of her soldiers. At Appomat
tox she surrendered as many guns as
all the other States combined probably
We have called repeatedly apt n Col.
Taylor, of Norfolk, Va., of Gen. Lee's'
staff, to publish the 'list of men who
surrendered with Lee, and where from.
It has not been done. It is under
stood that he has the list.
North Carolina opened the war at
Bethel and closed it at Appomattox,
and all through the four years she had
more soldiers iu the fight than any
ther State.
North Carolina had :.n part after cloth
ing, her own troops to clothe Lee's
i.' ....... 1 1 i
armv. r or mounts uer counties were
scoured for food for the soldiers when
Petersburg was beleaguered by Grant.
As the war advanced desertions abound
ed in all the States because the soldiers
had lost hope, were hearing bad tidings
from their homes, and many of them
were badly fed and half naked.
Gen. Hook spoke in Raleigh at a
serenade given him by tlTi citizens.
He said this-" If I were called upon to
give the boquet to that State which
furnished the most and best troops L
would have to given in North Carolina.
I had large opportunities for observa
tion and I declare that North Citrolina
had mare soldiers in Virginia fi'jhii.ig
her buttles than Virginia hud upon her
own soil"
This statement was controverted by
Gen. Early and Gen. Bufus Barringer
replied to him. Such is our recollec
tion. North Carolina did her duty
bravely, fully, grandly, self-sacrificing-ly.
She had more men in the last
struggle around Petersburg than smy
other State. She had more in the last
retreat to Appomattox, and at Lee's
surrender had two men to Virginia's
one.
Only three days ago the Richmond
Dispatch said this :
"tolie was in a great part the re
liance of Lee in the time that tried
men's souls."
Gen. Lee was heard to sav aftei
grand display of courage and
"God bless Njrth Carolina!"
O llv two days since the
Times thus wrote :
"It is not the first time that the
brave sons of North Carolina have
marched through our streets. There is
many a soldier in the present contin
gent who has tramped over those' thor
oughfares before with the prospect of
a deadly conflict on the battle field in
the near future, and yet has gone as
cheerfully along as if a part of a holi-

the sight of the gallant North Carolina
troops will recall many of the most

MccUNES SUB-TREASURY BILL IT IS PRO
NOUNCED BOTH DANOEROL'S AND IN
EFFECTIVE DANGER TO THE FARMER
AS WELL AS THE NATION.
The weakness of the arguments in
favor of the agricultural sub-treasury
scheme were thoroughly exposed in the
pleas made for it at the hearing before
the ways and means committee of
Congress at Washington last month.
The specious arguments iu its behalf,
like the scheme itself, fell by their own
weight. The hearing was not adver
tised, and therefore no one appeared in
opposition to the scheme. But its ad
vocates1 statements were enough to kill
it. There is a great revulsion of popu
lar sentiment among the members of
the alliance in the South -and South
west who have been deluded by the
glittering generalities of the scheme.
Aside from its impracticability and in
adyisability on general principles, the
farmers have found that this plan
would not protect them against spec
ulation in farm products, but would
rather facilitate corners and gambling
in futures by the ease with vhich the
certificates (representing deposits of
produce) could be manipulated. The
farmers know that these certificates
would quickly find their way into the
hands of the farmers' creditors, so that,
so far as controlling his crop.3 was con
cerned, by this system the farmer
would be worse off than ever. To this
objection is added the fact that the
ii. - -i
proposeu suo-ireasnries mean a aegree
of centralization that never was con
templated in this republic, and that
never will bs approved. If the federal
government is to transact the com
merce of the country, State lines would
be practically abolished, because such
a system would inevitably result iu
federal control A' politics. We should
thus be working toward a system of
politics and business management on
the part of the few at the expense of
the many; whereas, it should be the
object of every patriotic citizen to cor
rect this tendency in its present phases,
to tne end that we may restore and
perpetuate the independence of the
individual, and the maintenance of a
strictly representative and republican
form of government, under which every
person may enjoy equal rights and
privileges.

any ather people of ordinary pride iu

the results of the war. The lost cause .

something more thau their veneaatiou
for Lee to convince us that they are
not sincere iu their devotion to the old

majestic proportions, midst music, ora
tory, and heroic ode. It will not
shame the sunlight. It will not en
danger the liberties of the people. It
will cause no patriot to draw a bated
breath. It will shock no manly sens:-,
bility. It will simply show that the
South retains u grateful appreciation
of her noblest son, and commends hit
name to tlte muse of lmtory as worthy
of exalted perpetuation.
It is also a duty that Farm and Home
owes the farmers of the conn t ry to again
point out the fact that the original
advocate and principal supporter of this
sub-treasury schema was the man under
whose administration the Texas far
mers' alliance exchange came to such a
disastrous end. We have always had
the opinion that this failure was due to
lack of proper support, poor judgment,
want of experience and bad financier
ing, but that Mr. McCune and his co
laborers used their best abilities with
the utmost good faith and the strictest
integrity to make the exchange a suc
cess. But now sensational statements
as to the past and present financial
i i f i
inwardness ot t lie I ex is exchange are
bt ing circulated. It is claimed that
this is being done by enemies of the
farmers, and that the fullest investi
g.ttiou is courted. Whatever may be
the outcome of this particular investi
gation and it is hoped that every dol
lar has leen honestly accounted tor
tile gentleman' practical failure as i
financier is not to be wondered at in
view of the unsound theories which he
has so diligently promulgated. The
good common sense of the rank and
tile of the farmers' alliance is the best
protection against the vagaries of un
balanced leaders, however well mean-

Lee was a soldier and a gentleman
in the highest sense of both terms,
despite the fact that he took up arms
against the Government, under a mis
taken sense of superior duty to his
State. He possessed in a remarkable

private life rests no reproach, and the
