Kitchen made the same speech he ' piade in tha campaign two years ago, -rnipus Gleyeland and the Democratic administration. If Capt. Kitchen's yiews have not undergone any .change, and they have not judging from his speech, we fail to see any leaon why he should leave the Dem- pcratic party. , The principles of Pemocracy have certainly irndergone uo change, though they may have Jbeen perverted by individuals but hey will stand after these individu al and Kitchen have passed from the stage of action. There is no 'reason why any man should leave the party in tljis State who believes, in Df mocratie principals. We can puly elect men who represent our fiews in any party we affiliate with, and no one can point out wherein N,orth Carolina delegation at Yashington have departed from these principals. Then why divide forces and rgn a great risk of letting pur common enemy scarry the day. Let us stand together and be certain pf electing men who will represent he rue principles of Democracy. The repeal of the unconstitutional yvar tax on State banks by the Dm pcrats will go a loug way iu restor ing this a,dniinistration to the 'good graces of the pepple and will be of jpractipal and lasting benefit to the country If Mr. Uleveland would only speak one .word of commenda tion of the bill it would pass at once Those in favor of the bill may get a ypte on it this week. Mr. Cleveland being so honest and ppnscjeDtioqs in wauting to carry put the pledges of the party should now exert as. much energy in behalf pf the tariff bill and the repealbf the tax on tate banks as he did in be Jialf pf the nncopditional repeal of the Sherman act when the death plow to silver was dealt. ' The Newpern Journal ip commentr pg r.. ;t. t Kitchens exit to f he Popalist party closes the article with the following good advice to U timid Buck: "The idea of Cleveland's throwing Kitcheu put of the Democratic party s ridiculous.

In a few moments he learned from her that she had lost her position in the treas ury department arid .was anxious to get something, to jdo. She learned from him at the sarnie time that he was a member, of the house of repre sentatives, a f fiend pf Secretary Car lisle and a sort of godfather to all liaiidsoire young lady clerks in the government departments. He took a great interest inj their welfare and was always glad to fjive .them any service. He pronii-ed to go to the treasury dep;rtment.;that very day and see if hej colild; not persuadu Secretary Carlisle to fjiestore her to her farmer portion and to call upon her that same evening to relate the result of his mission1. After some further conversation Ire arose to leave and offered his bard, upon which was the name of Y.

The sensation of, Russia, and of Europe, too, jist now-is the suicide ot Prince Kantaktizehe, Count of Sperenski, a member of one of the most famous families of Russiaand a.e of the highest officers of the ministry of the interior. A year ago one of the Catholic! churches in the province of Kownojwas condemned, and the congregation ordered to leave it. The people declined to do so, and were finally driven mt of the church by soldiers, in obedienpe to the or ders of Mr. Orschewski, formerly chief of'the secrel police. The Pope, hearing of the putrage, protested to the Czar, who ordered a report of the occurrence. Prince ! Kantakuzene was induced to make ja. false report, it is said, and, this being discovered, the Emperor summoned him to his presence. TheiPriiicej was so over come by the discovery of his false hood and the anger of his impel ial master that he ended Jiis life a few days later. A special of June 1st from Homer, Tenn., says: Yesterday a negro nam ed Frank Ballafd, 18 fyears old, as saulted Miss Birdie Thomas, a highly respected young j lady, while she was returning home frpm a visit to a neighbor's.

Wright, sufierintendent of the census of 1800, review's in ve Foru m, lor une, the statistics of Sex marriage and divprceJ' y :.' :' - It will surpriseniMny)er.ons to know that there are nrjre males than females in.the total population of this country. The exact figures in 1890 vveref 32,067,880 males and 30,55i,370 females. x,Contrary to another popular im pression, it appears, too, that married persons form a larger percentage of the total population of this country than they do of European conntnes. There are more man ied people, too, in our large cities than in our farm ing districts, relatively to the whole number of their inhabitants, i Facts of interest to young people contemplating matrimony are that Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Cleve land are the American cities where most marrying is done; presumably, the conditions there are more favorably-to' the maintenance of homes than in San Franci.-co and Boston, which are peopled by fewer married folks and more single ones than any other cities in the union. Ireland and Scotland show the largest number of bachelors and spinsters and the smallest number Of husbands aucj wives of all countries furnishing statistics. Who would have thought that to be the case ? It will shatter another generally at cepted opinio:) to be told by Colonel Wright, that the total number of di vorced persons in this country is very small amounting to only about one-third of one per cent of the total adult population. Another analysis shows that there was but one divorc ed person to every 185 married per sons living in the United States in 1890. Colonel Wright's article affords a great variety of other interesting in formation, and as a study of the con jtigal conditions of this republic," it is reassuring on many vital points. Marriage is evidently not a failure in America. And pessimistic views of divorce as practiced in our differ ent Stales are utt borne out by the evidence of the census.

The weather has probably been more unfavorable in this district than in other portions of the State. Frost occurred on May 29th and nearly everywhere on June 1st, as reported by correspondents from Ashe to Cherokee counties. The cool nights have injured cotton and killed some, besides keeping all crops from growing very much. Corn is being yellowed, which is probably caused more by the prevailing dry ness than by the cold. Warm weath er and showers are greatly needed.

"Mi Dear Sir: In reply to your letter of May 24th I beg to say that I am correctly reported to this e ex tent; "I Buid in my canvass to years ago, and I say now that, Governor as I am, I would lead a mob to lynch any man, white or black, who had ravished any woman, white or black. "I send you a copyof my inaugural addrs,in which my views as to the sacred obligations the white people of the South are undef are set forth in full 1 am puTrecord as having asked fhe Legislature to give pie power to remove any sheriff who allowed a prisoner to be lynch ed while in his custody. "I have promptly ordared out the militia to protect prisoners when ever called on by sheriffs. I am op posed to lynch law for anything but rapp. That is a crime which, in my opinion, places any man beyond the pale of the law, and puts him below the brutes. The Southern people are not blameless in dealing with the question of lynching, but all our lynchings are not of negroes, and but for the fact that fvery outbreak of the kind is used as a text by Rer publicaii newspapers to slander and misrepresent our people, the? would excite no more comment than else where in the United States. I thiuk statistics will show that they occur af often in Western and Northern States as the do in the South. Signed B. R. Tiilman."
