too uppity and biggity for us

i .iupiter and we are nothing
but a moon. What was said or
dotio at Macon was none of his
business, lie was- hunting
around ond snuffing the air for
treason and , thought he had
found it, and so he fired off an
alarm trim and pawed dirt1 and
throwed mud aud and so I've
' lost about DO per cent of my re,'
syect for him and the other on
lor hi red bandana. When we
elect Mr. Cleveland I want his

"Xow, we all adnnre Mr.

democracy as for-his pluck and
tearless honesty. He i9 a lead

the machine, and so -far has' run
it pretty well. He does, not
try 1o carry water on both
shoulders and please everybody
for he knows he can't. But ev
ery curd he plays is a trump.
Every veto he signs is right. In
fart, he is about the only
watch lour the treasury has got.
The member of congress are
all log-rolling. They are play
ing -the the game of "you tick
le hie, and I'll tickle you; you
vote for my bill, and I'll vote
for yours, you build me a 100;
ooi) postofiice, and v I'll build
vou one," when the truth is
neither of them ought to be
built. Now, if Cartersville
was in the pot maybe I could
fe (lifTerentjbut she is not, and
so v e ar opposed to the big
fi?h wallowing up the little
ones. and putting the treasury
.jnt. because there is a surplus
there. That is the way alL
these fraudulent pensiou bills
are , passed.- Nobody watches
them but Mr. Cleveland. They
:i re-afraid to watch, for -every
member has got some pet bills
of hi own and he wants votes,
Once in $ while they will rare
iro and cavort and abuse one
nno her terrific, and send their
1 u ir speeches to. their constitu-i
' eiits. and that night - they will
get together snd hob nob and'
plot and scheme to put thei
bills through. They are like
tlte.lawy.ers in a court house
who get awful mad and abuse
each other's clients teni dollars
They were afraid to Vote -upon
the Mills bill or any other tar
iff bill and they are afraid now.
They will fool along until af
ter the election. But Mr.
Cleveland was.no t afraid. He
wanted that surplus reduced at
once, ne wanted the nation
relieved, and no dodging
around. Politics is a science,
the science of self-interest.
When a man is in office he
wants to keep in and so he nev
er makes an appointment i to
office or recommends any body,
but what the. first Question is
what can he do, for me how
much "influence' has "hf'got : in
his county how inany votes
can he control-eandj; that isthe
second, attention' -and the third.
W hen men come, out for , office
they lay the-fr Tdand- -and ' com
bine with those who want some
other office and then they all
null tno-nther. The judge of a
circuit is not elected by tshe
people of his circuit, ,- nor by
the votes of the inemDers oi xne

consequential air that seems to

"She hummeth a quiet tune,
In this leafy mouth of Jane.".

An old gentleman reccommend-
ed "Ben Ilur'' to one of his young
friends, advising her to read- the
book by all means.' Meeting him
soon after, she told him that she
had inquired for it at several twxk
stores, but none of them' had the
book. "What did yoaask ioi?",
said the gentleman, "why, 'Beu
She,' of courBe.' replied the lady.
A few weeks later the gentleman
received an invitation to the young
lady's wedding, and the bride
srroom's name chanced to be Ben
jamin. "Ah," said he, as he read
the card, "she tailed to nnd 4Jen
legislature from his circuit, but Hhr,' but she had better success
by the member from seventeen
other circuits who know noth-
iug about him and so his elec
tion depends on his combina
tion qualities and his combina

smartness and rascality. Now
and then we have an upright,
honest4man in congress and in
the legislature, but their name
not legion. There is not
much in politics now but office
and the spoils of office. I'll bet

FromEenty Waiterson's Serenade
Speech in Louisville. ,
; I have certainly done all I could
do to fix :he attention of tho peo
ple upon the ruinous exactions oi
the tarijf, the most unscientifically
laid iu the wofld. I have fought
to force upou the authors of that
tariff the redemption of the pledges
they made when they enacted it,
that should not out last the exi
gences that called it into being,
and it may le, that in the course
ot the agitation, I have not always
been very squeamish about the
terms used to describe what the
Supreme Court of the United
States itself has described as "leg
alized roboery."
But nowhere have I proposed
anything extreme or destructive.
I am a builder by preference, con
servative by- nattim-awd no- more
than the President, no more than
Carlisle, no u.ore than my friends,
Gorman and Scott, would I pro
ceed iu the work of reform with
rash piecipation. I a-u the friend,
not the enemy of maunlactnrers,
of mining and industrial develop
ment, of labor in the sense of hon
est wages, and if the Democrats of
-w York, New Jersey ai'd Con
necticut would take what I think
from my own lips, and not at sec
ond hand from the lips puckered to
lie for a consideration, they would
hear nothing to frighttn" or to in-
jure them.
I want to reduce tne war taxes,
and my objective point is the rev
enue tariff, but in the nature of
the case we arebound to go slow.

Tho laws of Sparta required

Aacther Interesting Point-
The Supreme Court of this State
has decided in Lord vs. Hardie
that "where the pastor of the CoU
ored First Baptist church of Fay-
etteville recovered judgment
against the trustees of the church
for the amount cf his salary, and
caused execution to be levied upon
the communion service, that the
same was not liable to seizure aud
sale under execution." In the
course of the opinion the court
says, among other 'things: "We
have been unable to nnd, nor have
the researches of counsel furnished
us with any decided . case or au
thority bearing upon the point, for
the reason perhaps that this is the
first instance that au attempt .has
baen made to subject property, so
dedicated to religious uses, to the
payment of a debt." lialelgh

Fourteen Mies in Eigateen Waltz -
: es.
Edward Scott, in his . 'Dancing
and Dancers,' makes the following
estimate of the distanct actually
waltzed over in an evening by the
belle ot the ballroom: 'DO" you,
'my fair and fragile reader think
vou would go 8 ix times round a
moderate sized ballroom, say.
making a cireuit of eighty yards
during a waltz? Yes; at, last, ev
en allowing for rest. That, then,
is 4S0 yards, if you went in a line.
Bat you are turning nearly all the
time, say, on an average, once in
each yard of ouwavd progress, and
the circumference, of a circle is
rather more than three times its
diameter, which will bring each
waltz to over three quarters of a
mile, or at least fourteen miles for
the eighteen waltzes.' ,
In a lonely hut, situated on the

White settlements tueu ou LoDg
Island were lew and far between.
The largest of them all was situ
ated at the mouth of teiliag creek,
now known as Greeuport. A few
settlers had pushed o it from the
parent town toward the end of the
island, and there were some halt-
dozen cabins between Greenport
and Orient Point.
The Montauk tribe, whose chief
tain was a tall aud muscular sav-
ase. known as Wyandank, and the
Shinuecocks warriors were not on
the best of terms with the whites,
and therefore the settlers feared to
go singly into the .andy wilder
ness. -
Kut the old man who had built
the lonely hut by the pe'ohly beach
of Mariou harbor was an exception
to the general rule.
Though white in color, yet at
heart he was as savage as any red
biave on the island.
Au outlaw from the white settle,
nieuts, the red warriors of the for
est were far more like his brothers
than the ster colonists, who pant
ed to punish him for his evil deeds.

"Auotuer wonderful discovery
has been made and that too by a
lady in this county. Disease fasten

seven years she withstood its
severest tests but her vital organs
were undermined and death seem
ed. imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly and could
not sleep. She bought of ns a

called him Spanish
Will, and under that title the men
ot law sought, lor him.
After Kyd's capture by the Eng
lish frigate, Spanish Will, who had
escaped both the slaughter and the
execution dock, sought refuge in
the wilderness at the end of Ijong
Island.
Boldy presenting himself to the
Indians, he claimed to be a foe to
the whites aud craved their pro
tection. With him the outlaw carried a
little girl, a mild and handsome
child.
The girl grew to womanhood free
and unrestrained.
The outlaw rniuided but'" little
with the settlers at Greenport, for
he preferred the society of the
red men.
But as the young girl erew to
womanhood, a' very wilderness of
flowers, the young men of tho little
colony olteu fouud excuse to loiter
near the cottage 'of the solitary
hunter.
And the wily chieftain, great
Wyandank, head of the Montauk
tribe, saw, too, that the mild young young Flanders ; all believed
girl was fair to look upon and bod
iv he proposed to the outlaw rich
lands in exchange for her.
But Mary Stone, as the girl was
called, looked askance when the
dnsky chieftain came a-woolng.
Not toj her mind was the wigwam
of the savage or the person of the
dusky brave.
. ' Then, too, another love was in
the heart of the forest girl.
1 Along the sandy path that led
upon this false hound for thee."
The girl pondered over the mat
ter for a moment or two.
"I wonld rather die than live in
tbe wigwam of Wyandank." she
replied, slowly.
The old man drew closer to tbe
girl.
"Listen. Mary, to my plan," be
said. "We may gain both lands
and vengeance, and vet give noth
ing in return. Agree to become. tbe
squaw of Wyandank if he will kill
liicbard for yon, aad wilt --sign to
me the lauds tbat b. b as ''offered.
When tbe murder is accomplished
I will contrive a way to deoonnee
Wyandank as tbe murderer of
Flanders. See bow good tbe plan
Is. The tool destroys the traitor :
the act destroys the tool. Come,
will you consent! The chief will
be here anon."
"Yes,v cried the girl with des
perate resolution. "lie bas trampled
upon my heart, and it Is bnt jnat
that bis own should pay the for
feit.'
Theu the keen ears'of tbe wood
man detected the sound of root
steps approaching in the sand.
"You must contrive some plan to
evade going with the Indiau nntil
I can Bet the colonists upon him,"
the old man said hastily.
"Trust me for that," the girl re
plied. And then the tall chief, Wyan
dank, stalked into tbe catin.
With wily art the outlaw reveal
ed the service required of the ohief,
aim me savage consented at once.
"Before light; see scalp P tbe
Indian said laconically, and depart
ed at once upon his mission.
And, true to his word, just as
tbe first gray streaks of tbe coming
dawn were beginning to line tbe
eastern skies the Indian stalked
again, witb stately tread, into tbe
cabin.
Tbe girl glared at tbe savage
with hungry eyes.
Wyandank opened bis blanket,
which was folded tight around him,
and lo, a human scalp of dark
brown hair, fresh torn from the
head, hung at bis girdle. 1
The . girl recognised the locks
with which her fingers had so often
played.-
"It is well, chief," she said ;
"wait a moment," and then she
passed out into the air. .
Tbe outlaw at once produced the
parchment conveying the lands
that the Indian had agreed to give
and pressed the chief to affix his
"totem" to tbe deed.
The savage consented, and tbe
outlaw, now sole master ot a thous
and broad acres, smiled In glee.
An honr passed, and the girl did
not return.
Wyandauk grew uneasy ; be
feared some trick.
Forth the two proceeded in
search of the girl. They did not
have far to go, for upon the beach,
at the edge of tbe rippling tine, a
dagger driven in ber heart, lay the
body of the girl. She bad perished
by her own band. -
A moment Wyandank gazed and
then, swiftly drawing his toma
hawk, be slew . tbe outlaw even
where be stood, for tbe savage
chief wonld not give bis lands for
naught : fast be fled in his canoe
across the water and sought safety
amid his tribe. Wyandank was
never suspected of tbe mnrder of

EEPtrBLICAN OBSTRUCTION.
Upon its record ' thus exhibited
and upon the pledge' of a' continu
ance to tbepeople of these benefits,
tbe Democracy invoices a renewal
or popular trust by the re-election
or a Chief Magistrate wbo bas been
faithful, able and prudent. iWe in
voke in addition, to that trust tbe
transfer also to ;tbe Democracy of
the entire legislative power. .The
Repnblican party, controlling, tbe
Senate and resisting in both bouses
of Congress a .reformation , of the
nnjnst and unequal tax laws which
have outlasted the necessities of
war and are now undermining the
abundance of a long peaeeydeny to
the people equality before the -law
and tbe fairness and tbe justice
which are their right. Tben tbe
cry of American labor for a better
share in the tewards of industry is
stined withJklaeJpretences, enterr
prise is fettered and bound ' down
to bome maiketa, capital is discour
aged with doubt, and unequal, nn
jnst laws can. neither be properly
amended or repealed.
The Democratic party will con
tinue, with all the - power confided
to It, tbe struggle to reform ' these
laws, in accordance with tbe pledges
of its last platform, indorsed at tbe
ballot-box by the -suffrages of the
people. Of all tbe iDduatrioua free
men of our land tbe immense ma
jority, including every, tiller of the
soil, gain no advantage , from ex
cessive tax laws, bnt tbe : price of
nearly everything they bny is in
created by tbe favoritism of an ou
equal system of tax legislation.
All unnecessary taxation is nnjnst
taxation. It is repnguant to tbe
creed of Democracy tbat , by such
taxation .the cost of tbe necessaries
of lite should be. unjustifiably' in
creased to all bar people. ... Judged
by Pemocratio principles, the inter
ests of tbe ptopla are' betrayed
when, by unnecessary taxation,
trusts acd combinations are per
mitted to exist, wbiob, while un
duly enriching tbe few., that com
bine, rob tbe body ot our' oiluens

of natural competition."
