wish I was poor and dident

I would vote for iron bridges

for county bonds to raise lots of

macaiainized, and have a good

If I was a right poor man and

for everything that would tax
him, and that v ould improve

i3 tt e strangest thing in the

to abuse the rich, The keep up
the government and the courts,

pay nine-tenths of jthe taxes.
That shows a very unequal dis
tribution of wealth, but there is
some good m every bad, and the
good in this case is thatJtherich

Short, Paragrajiha on Topic of

Unless y ou - register by Oct.
otn you will lose your vote.
,f The Revenue gang are doing
vnir utmost lor the Kepnbli
can party. There is need for
work. "To your tenta. oh! Ts-
rae";
A negro has heexx. tpVoiited
uouector oi uustoras of Wil
mm g ton, and yet we are told
that the negro has very little
to do with the Republican
party.
The, effort of the Republican
high tariff tools of monopoly
to use the ; Farmers Alliance
would be amusing, if ' it were
not revolting to every sense of
honesty and fair dealing. ,
Another, "coon" postmaster
gone wrong. The postmaster
at Halifax- has made way with
about a thousand dollars of
Uncle Sam's money. Cheat
ham's appointees are "showing
up'' early in the contest.
A negro by the name of Q. C.
Scurlock, of Cumberland coun
ty, has been nomiuated by the
Republicans of the Third dis-.
trict. Of course Mr. Grady
will be elected - by an almost
unheard-of majority if wa can
only get the people out to the
polls.
The greatest danger that
threatens the Democratic par
ty in this State this year is the
fear that the white people may
not register. Every mother's
son has to register anew, if he
has voted forty times before.
Do not fail to register; the ne
groes and . other Republicans
will all register.
The people of this country
must feel relieved that Conn
gress has adjourned. Its de
liberations (?) were character
ized by exhibitions of brutal
force. The Tom Reed policy
of "might makes rgiht" was
endorsed by Ewart, Cheatham
and Brower of this State, let
those who believe in fairness
and justice remember.
The only way to defeat the
infamous force bill is to elect
a Democratic Congress. There
is no sort of chance for the
election of any white Republi
cans from North Carolina this
y9arif Democrats will only
register and organize. The Re
publican party does not threat
en Democratic success, but
Democratic inactivity does.
Maj. W. W. Rollins, of AshV
ville, has been appointed to
succeed John G. Eaves as Col
lector of the Western district
of the Internal Revenue. It
maker, but little difference
which Republican runs the ma
chine; it is proatituted to the
work of eeenring Republican
vote however dishonorable
the means br which that end
is attained.
The price of ' tinware will
now go up, since the Republi
cans have passed the McKinly
tariff bilL When you ko to
buv tinware and the price is
more than you expected jnst
console yourself with the idea
that the tatiff is 105 per cent.,
and that the Republican party
is responsible for this fearful
tax on a prime necessity. Just
say to yoarself Ewart Brower
and Cheatham helped to do
this.
When the farmer is forced
to pav a heavy price for the
bagging that wraps his cotton,
remember that it is the Re
publican party that refuses to
put it on the free list bnt in
creases the taxes on it. Every
Democrat in the the Senate
voted for it to go on the free
list; every Republican (save
one voted to tax it. Yet the
Republicans have the effront
erv to profess to be the friend
of the farmer.
It pleases us greatly to see the
way in which Crawlord is "do
ing np" Ewart. If there is i
shrewd, unscrupulous dema
gogue in North Carolina it is
the man who professes to rep
resent the Ninth Congressional
district, and we are glad tha
his hide Is being properly tan-
ned. His hypocrisy is being
mercilessly shown up by Mr.
Prawford and we say "lay von
McDuff." v

another blow at the "right of

Governor Hill described on
that same day as the: bulwark
of our liberties, peealiarly dis
tinguishing ' a republic from a
monarchy. r
The leading Republican news
paper, the New York Tribune,
treats the arbitrary.; reversal of
the vote in the- Seventh dis
trict of South Carolina as a
pratty good joke on the Demo
crats.
"The Republicans '.mustered
a quorum yeBterday," remarks
our chuckling contemporary,
and not only disposed of the
Langston-Venable case, but
also took up the Miller Elliott
case and decided that before
the Democrats had a ch&nce to
recover from $helr surprise",
The Tribune .Almanac for
1889 contains this recoid of the
vote in the Seventh, district of
South Carolina:
KBP, DBM. IND. BKP.
Uillxr. Elliott, Sihms.
VH 7,003. 8,358. ' 74,
Under - what circumstances
was this plurality of more than
thirteen hundred votes swept
away, tne .election in the ais
trict nullified, the honest ver
dict of the citizens reversed,
and the regular certificate of
election torn to pieces in order
hat there might be one Demo
cratic vote in Congress the
ess and one Republican vote
the more?
Marat screaming for : the
name of another innocent vic
tim was not wilder than the
Republican majority after the
"disposal" : of the Langston
Venable vase. . The scene is
described in the. Tribune's
Washington correspondence.
There came a chorus from the
Republican side: "Call up an
other case!" Mr. Rowell, of
Illinois, called up the South
Carolina case of Miller against
Elliott. OTerrall, of Virginia,
raised the question of consid
eration. On a viva voce vote
the speaker stated that the
House had determined to con
sider the election case. The
point of a quorum was raised,
and the Speaker declined to
entertain it. The previous ques
tion was ordered, and in spite
of a protest from a Republican
member from iowa that some
reason for unseating Elliott
should be given, the resolution
reversing the vdte of the bev
enth district was adopted with
out a division.
The brutal business can
hardly have occupied three
minutes. In that time- law,
right and precedent were tram
pled under foot, as Governor
Hill puts it, in order that the
slender majority of Republi
cans might be increased, The
plurality of 1,300 votes -"by
which Elliott held his beat was
shouted . down to less than
kiothing, without even the for
mail ty of a division of -the
House. The pretext o of the
abominable deed was not even
stated for the information of
members like Kerr, of Iowa,
whose remnants of . political
conscience was disposed to
haggle over the infamous trans
action. There was no discus
sion, no weighing ; of evidence,
no opportunity, for the victim
to defend his rights. Mr Ji.ll
iott entered the House soon
afterward to find that the
shouts of a mob had deprived
him of the office to which he
had been honestly elected by
the ballots of his constituents.
This is the United States of
America , toward the latter

A Firm's Explanation.
Foster, 8teven & Co;, big hard
ware merchants of Chicago,' have
ent ont a circular to their ens
tomers explaining that certain
much used articles must go op in
prices. For instance, we see from
this circular letter that there is
how but one axe company in the
United States, and that is called
the American Axe and lixI Com
pany, with headquarters at Pittw
burg. This company has purchas
ed ontright every axe factory in
the country of any importance and
by thus controlling tbe production'
has advanced prices ol an average
$2 a dozen. This company also
ooetrols the' maofactiire- of axe
polls or the beads of axes, the ma
chine'ry bf which" Is patented, and
this enables it to keep the price on
polls so high no one can afford toi
make axes. There are alto but
two companies who make band
saws and cross-cut saws and prices
have been advanced from 10 to 40
per cent. Knives, forks and spoons
also go up. This is the result of
the tariff on lead, window glass
goes np 30 per cent. Zinc or stove
boards, which last year cosr- 36
cents, now costs 72 cents. Powder
has also gone np to nearly doable
tbe price it was two years age.
The firm's circular . says; We call
yonr attention to these matters so
you will understand why on nearly
every invoice you get yon will find
something higher than it was be
fore. ' Thus the note of warning
goes forth. The Republican party
call all these things luxuries. It is
true few oi them are used in Wall
street, New York, or in the Re-
piblican CamDaiett, Committee:
but they hare some place in tbe
expenses oi the average house
holder, whether in citv or country.

Cntee Of Tobacco- "
It Is somewhat lemorkable
the rapidity with which the
culture of tobacco has spread
throughout a number ; of the
eastern counties of this State
when we remember that until
within the past few years the
eastern farmer knew practically
nothing about the culture and
the treatment of the weed. The
success they have met with not
only establishes the industry as
a permanent one in those coun
ties tut will cause it to be ex
tended into other counties where
it has not yet been ventured
upon. The results in the way of
profit" attained by. many of the
planters in Wilson,' Nash and
some others are far ahead of
anything realized iu the famed
Piedmont belt the prices real
ized per acre in many cases be
ing much larger, and we think
on the average larger. We res
joice at this for with cotton and
tobacco combined the outlook
for the eastern farmer promises
well. Wilmington Star.-

Mr. tiohn M. Wilson, of Wilson
Mills, Johnston county, brought to
the Raleigh Chronicle office last
week the largest stalk of cotton of
tbe season, ihe stalk is ix and
a half feet high and has 129 bolls.
Mr. Wilson sends word that he has
picked cut one-quarter of an acre
of this cotton the okra species
from which he got 800 pounds,
about half of which he will get off
of this quarter of an acre. That's
cotton for yon! It 15 as soft and
beautiful as silk, and if a man bad
a whole crop of such cotton he'd
be as rich as a bondholder. This
writer remembers seeing on the
rich swamp lands ot Pitt county a
stalk seven feet two inches high,
with 1Z6 bolle.

A Good Idea.
The Fayetteville Observer, we aie
pleated to see. comes on the mm
platform with the liichcry Press
and Caroliniaa, the Mecklenburg
and Franklin Times and The Land
mark, with regard to the manner of
nominating candidates for the Su
perior Court bench favoring the
idea of nominating them directly
by the State convention, And the
Lenoir Topio sanints in the same
direction tbat is to say it cophs
The Landmark's first editoral on
the subject without anv expression
of disapprobation. The Observer
says the proposition does not go for
enough; that the Supreme and Sus
perior Court judges should not be
chosen by the popular vofe at all.
Therein we are agreed azain; but
an elective judiciary is embedded
in tie constitution and we cannot
charge that. Let ns all, then,
go for whatds practicable and next
nest, for the removal of the judicia
ry as far as possible from local
partisan politics. Statesville Land
