That Balloou.
Two wceka ago wo made mention of a
tissue peper balloon that Mr. J. F. Rob

v.e received last Friday, clears up the
mystery :
Davidson College, N.'C,
April lo, lbXj-2.
Dear Mr. Ediior: I noticed in your
last week's issue an account of Mr. J. b
Robinson finding a tissue paper balloon
made of the alternate colors of red, white
and bule. Just such a balloon was sem
up from this place by some patent medi
cine quacks on the same evening in ques
tion at about four o'clock. At the time
of its ascension a still" gale was blowing
toward tho northeast ami the balloon
w as cairied rapidly ' in that direction.
About two hours intervened from the
time it Icit Davidson until it was found.
In that time the balloon traveled over a
distance of twenty or Iwejity-liVe miles.
It steins to me that there can he no

Easter has come and girie. Another
mile post has been passed in the christian
career from the cross on Cavalry to the
crown of universal dominion. Sunday
was tber anniversary of the eveut
that marks the one great epoch in
earth's history. Tho day when the
Prince of Peace achieved a victory over
satan, death aud hell, and offered free
dom to a captive and pardon to a doomed
race. The day was commemorated in
Charlotte by appropriate and impressive
services in the -Catholic, Episcopal and
Lutheran churches. On Sunday two
hundred and fifty luilliou Cat holies scat
tered through every nation and clime
were singing anthems of praise to him
who exchanged the crown of universal
sovereignty for a crown of thorns. Mil
lions of Episcopalians ami Lutherans
were paying like honors to the great
founder of religion Ihat brought light
and liberty to a benighted world. Strange
that, all branches of the christian church
do not celebrate the day.

way. The peoplo build the roads and

the robbery of the people and ihoonprcs

It is an extremely gratifying fact that
Mecklenburg coun'.y Alliance refused at
its meeting the other day to endorse the
St. Louis demands. Observer.
Itisaiutvto deprive the Observer ol
the gratification afforded by the mistake
implied in the above, but truth must be
vindicated, and however undemocratic'
and wicked it may seem to the editor of
that paper we have to confess, that the
Mecklenburg county Alliance did endorse
the Si. Louis platform unanimously by a
rising vote.
Congressman Bynum has been down
to Atlanta and addressed lb "Cleveland
Club," ''not in the interest of any presi
dential candidate but for the genera!
weal of the party." Senator Hill made
a lour of the South recently "not iir the
interest of any man but ihe democratic
party." If our representatives spent
more time iu legislating for the interest
of the people and less in creating booms,
it would be better for 'their panics. Sir.

democrats giving me the nomination'"

A correspondent of the Mecklenburg
Times says "ihe farmers gave Roller lib
eral applause, but ihe laelieals and the
negroes also manifested their delight."'
Coiiiel it enter into the astute brain of
that correspondent to understanel thai
the financial stringency and other causes
that are crushing the spirits and elestrey
iag hope in the heaits of the farmer are
bearing with double force on the poor
ragged half fed farm negro. Can he con
ceive the possibility that the negro may
ee a glimmer of hope in a movement to
bring relief to the man whose laud he
ills? We don't suppose such thoughts
could enter the mind of the correspon
dent, but we who employ the. negro
kno.s' of his condition aud know how to
sympathize with him, ;ind in striving to
ameliorate our condition we arc willing
;hat the tenant on our soil should spare
ihe benefit, even though he ha-i been
misguided by political bosses.
Sam Jones is out in a letter denouncing
he combination of "labor unions, a!-
liaiKTinen and temperance people as
the most incongruous, iucompatablo, im
mixablc elements that nature or grace
oversaw." As the bree, h between Wall

demagogues multiply. At his first meet
ing in Charlotte Mr. Jones declared him
self a thin! party man and said .if he was
compelled to choose between the demo

publican party with its negro, just pin
back cutrys ears and grease him and h

Heaven's sake don't talk about interfer

people have beeu eucred out of three bil
lion dollars. It is true Mr. Gould has
made a hundred and tweuty-flve million.
Mr. Sidney Dillon seventy-five or eighty
million anel tho Vai.derbilts two huiutrcd
millions, but then the peoplo can work
and the bosses can't -auil it would be too
ciutl to cut down their revenues. "Let
the public be doomed," said Mr. Vav.der
Lilt. "Dn'l interfere with vested rights,"
say our political leaders. Let the west
ern farmer toil on and deliver his corn to
the bosses at twer.ty-fivc cents per bit-he',
and let the southern farmer sell bis six
c -lit cotton ami pay the bosses thirty-one
cents per bund reel for hauling h,is corn
and meal over tiie roads which the peo
ple have built, but don't interfere with
veted rights. It would be undemocratic!
for the people to control the property
ihey have paid for. It is all right for a
few men to rob the people of their mil
lions, but every man must be the archi

means liberty, and to rob is Ihe liberty
