I believe that the Administration is responsible to the people for all the acts of the officers of the Government, and that therefore the offices should be filled by friends of the Administration, and that the men who conduct the ad ministration of public affairs, and who are responsible for them, should have the selection of their subordinates. To the victors belong the spoils. Adlai E. Stevenson. Free government is self-government. There i no self-government where the .people do not control their own elec tions and lay their own taxes. When either of these rights is taken away or diminished a breach is made, not in the outer defenses, but in the citadel of our freedom. For years we have been struggling to recover the lost right of taxing ourselves, and now we are threatened with the loss of the greater right of governing ourselves. The loss of the one follows in necessary succes sion the loss of the other. When you confer ' on Government the power of dealing out wealth you unchain every evil that can prey upon and eventually destroy free institutions excessive tax ation, class taxation, billion-dollar con gresses, a corrupt civil service, a de bauched ballot-box and purchased elections. From Hon. W. L. Wilson's speech at Chicago. SELF CONQUERED. Go, if thou wilt, beloved, far from me What way soever pleasure beckons thee, But make this heart thy refuge still, always, The key is thine none other's. Stray or stay ; When thou art wearied, in that cham ber rest When thou art grieved, and deemest quiet best ; When thou art glad or sad. My ten derness Shall shield thy moods of silence. None shall guess Thy presence there. Alas ! what breaks - my voice ? Three times I tried to say, "Bring in thy choice Of one alone whose presence is most sweet, ; And I that friend with gracious word will greet." Forgive, love, that I faltered, "Yea," I cry, "Bring e'en that friend thou lovest though I die." SARATOGA SAVINGS. As Our Live Correspondent Gathered them for Printing. (SPECIAL COR. THE ADYANCE.)

He Has .Just Returned From the West and is Worn out Texarkana on tbe Wing Some Ruminations. When a patriarch has been on the road for two days and missed the con nection at Memohis and had to bum around in a strange place waiting for the next tram, and then sets and sweats all day for 300 miles until his back aches and one of his kidneys gets restless and tries to get out and his eyes and ears and the back of his neck are full of cinders, he doesn't feel like penning his ran- dom thoughts to please anybody. All he can do is to ruminate and jump from one thing to another and think about home and its blessings. His constant prayer is that he may live to return to those who love him best and for awhile to rest from his labors. Now, while I write, I am in that state of "inocuous desuetude" that Mr. Cleveland told about and that causes me to think and wonder. When he used that curious, original expression, I reckon 100,000 readers turned to the dictionary to see what it meant. It fit the case all right and public was satisfied. But it won't do for ordinary men to venture upon such pigeon English. I have been read ing his speeches and his late utter ances and I would like to know when and where he got his scholarship. Chauncey Depew sets him up very high as a typical American and the New York Tribune in a late editorial admits that he has the happy faculty of saying what he means and saying it in the very best manner. He leaves no room for doubt. The August number of the Reviews of Reviews, which is the best and fairest of all our monthlies, has a splendid biogra phy of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Albert Shaw, the editor, is a conservative Republican, who is opposed to the Force bill, and dares to say so in un mistakable language. He is also opposed to any political interference with the status of the negro, and declares that it is a Southern burden and may be a Southern danger and the South is far more capable of dealing with it than the North. It is good for us to read after such high toned candid men. The July num ber had an excellent biography of Mr. Harrison, and if I was away off in Europe and anybody should speak disrespectfully of him I would resent it. He is no little man, and his suc cess proves it, but he is a man of prejudice. He believes the South ern people are heretics, and he is such an old-fashioned Calvinistic Presbyterian that he would rather torture us a little than not. This biography says that he was a sol dier after Sherman's pattern, and that Sherman said he did not have a more capable general. It savs that Harrison especially distinguish ed himself in the battle of Cassville while marching through Georgia. We are sorry to know that. We never did know before what vandal destroyed that beautiful town. We supposed that it was done by Sher man's orders, but it seems now that Harrison was the man. He ordered all the women and children away and then applied the torch. Two large colleges were burned and every church and every dwelling nothing was left but tottering walls and lone some chimneys. Old Cassville was the county seat of our county and was the nursery of education for oui boys and girls. The Duke ot Alva never committed a more disgraceful act any I was in hopes that the shame of it centered upon Sherman, and that gentlemen like Harrison, turned away and wept when they saw the fires and the homeless women and children. But let that pass. Let by-gones be by-gones. Mr. Cleveland's "inocuous des uetude" reminds me of Henry Grady for he enjoyed it immensely. How much he enjoyed revelling in big words himself just to perplex the boys. How heartily he would laugh when he had them bothered with his jawbreakers. Shockley was our town constable and he had waited on the court and listened to the lawyers until he began to affect some large words and very frequently made some awkward misfits. Henry was lond ol perusing Shockley, ana one day called him to one side and said seriously, "Shockley, I want to ask your opinion on a private matter. Suppose you were just standing by yourself on the sidewalk not doing anything to anybody and a stranger was to come right up to you without malice aforethought and was to 're-cog-nize' you what would you do about it ?" "Say that again, Henry say it slow," said Shockley. When Henry repeated it, Shock ley said, "Henry, I wouldn't take the likes of that from nobody. I should just haul away with my stick and take his interrogatories." And this reminds me of the origi nal Bill Arp, whom the boys about town elected to the office of coroner just out of mischief. Bill felt highly honored, and, as he couldn't read the law about coroners himself, he got the boys to read it to him, and they garbled it so as to make Bill believe that he must sit upon the dead body in order to make it a legal inquest. He was told that he held a very responsible position, and that he must do his duty at all hazards. A few days after his election a travelling showman came to our town with an Egyptian mum my that he placed on exhibition at ten cents a sight. The devilish lawyers WILSON COUNTY, N. C.; AUGUST sent for Bill and told him with great solemnity that he had a case a very remarkable case, and that he must do his duty ; that there was a dead body in town and that nobody knew how or when it became dead, and he must summon a jury and set upon it. They read him the law again, which said the coroner should hold an in quest upon the bodies of all dead persons where the cause of death was unknown, or where there was a sus picion of foul play surrounding the death. The law also authorized the coroner to exhume any dead body that had been buried and to bury it again after the examination. Bill was advised to see the gentleman first and interview him before summoning a jury, which he did. The showman claimed to be a preacher, who had been a missionary in foreign lands, but he had a speculative turn of mind and the gift of language, and made the same little speach to all visitors. When Bill called on him and made known his business, the showman was amazed, astounded and indig nant, but Bill was solemn and reso lute, and informed the gentleman that if he didn't at once produce the dead body he should arrest him, and Bill meant what he said. He feared no man when in performance ol duty. There was fire in his eye, and the showman saw it. He sent for the mayor, but that gentleman was one of Bill's best friends, and didn't seem to understand how an inquest could be prevented if it was the law. The argument got warm and then hot, and Bill demanded to view the body. "But it is a mummy," said the showman, "and she has been dead 3,000 years." "My Lord," said Bill, "is it a woman you have got, and are toting her around. She ought to buried, sir ; decently buried. That is what the law says." "But she has been buried," said the showman. "Entombed in the catacombs embalmed. She is a mummy, I tell you." "What's that?" said Bill. When the showman explained, Bill shook his head and declared that it was all very suspicious ; that no dead body would keep more than a week in the country, and as for 3,000 years that was away before Christ was born and he didn't believe a word of it. "I must view the body," said he, "and I'll be doggoned if I'm gwine to wf.it on you any longer." The mayor advised the showman to yield and let the coroner see it, which he reluctantly did, and Bill was bewildered. "Is she folks or a monkey ?" said he. "Is she white folks or an Injun ? Looks like a Chinee. Wrhat vou eot her wrapped up in all this barky stuff for ? How in the dingnation is a a kurriner to tell what killed her while she is sealed up this way ? The law says I must view the body and you don't show nothing but her fin gers and toes and a part of her face." "She was embalmed," said the showman, "Frankincense and myrrh "Frank who ?" said Bill. "What did he have to do with it?" By this time several of the town boys had slipped in and were dying with fun. The preacher became des perate and declared he would protect his property ; that he had brought that mummy all the way from Africa. "Thought she was a mulatter," said Bill. After much tribulation the mayor took Bill aside and advised him to hold up and let the poor fellow off if he would pay the coroner's fees, and so he consulted his lawyers, and as they concurred, he concluded to drop the proceedings for $3. He said the law allowed him $5 where he set on the body, but as he didn't set he wouid take off a couple. Never was a poor missionary more greatly relieved than when this one got rid of Bill Arp. He wrote a re ceipt and Bill signed with a K. K. at the end of his name, which he said was for county coroner, but the preacher said it was for Ku Klux. But farewell lor the present oh, my back !

I suppose he is a clever gentleman or he would not have been nominated. C. HARVESTING TO BACCO. An Article That is Especially Interesting These Days. An expert who has studied the gathering of tobacco crops through a long series of years, lays down the following plan and practice directions on this very important subject : Do not be in a hurry to begin cut ting your tobacco until it is ripe, and enough fully and uniformly ripe to fill barn. A thin butcher or shoe knife well-sharpened, and wrapped with a soft cloth around the handle and ex tending an inch along the blade, will do the work effectually and be easy to the hand. Try it. Put knives into the hands of experienced cutters only, men who know ripe tobacco, and will select plants uniform in color and texture, and will cut no other. Have your sticks already in the field, and placed in piles convenient sticking a stick vertically in the ground over each pile that they may be more easily found when wanted. Pine sticks, rived three-fourths of an inch by one and one-fourth inches, and four and one-half feet long, drawn smooth, are best. Start together two cutters and one stick-holder the cutters carrying two rows, and the stick-holders, walking between them. The cutter takes hold of the plant with his left hand at the top near where the knife enters the stalk ; with his right he splits the stalk down the centre (observing to guide the knife so as not to sever the leaves) to within three inches of the point he ietends to sever the stalk from the hill ; and as the the knife desends his left hand follows the slit or opening, and when the plant is severed from the hill, by a dexterous movement of the left hand the plant is straddled across the stick in the hands of the holder. When the stick has received about six medium plants, if intended for brights, it is reody for the barn, either carried by hond if near or hauled on a wagon if distant. If it is necessary to use the wagon, prepare a bed sixteen feet long to hold three coops, or piles, on which place tobacco as cut, and after placing twenty-five or thirty sticks of cut tobacco on each coop, drive to the barn to be unloaded. Don't cut tobacco green. Planters never made a greater mistake than when this is done. Tobacco cut green is never fit for any use. When cured it becomes light and chaffy and no body wants it. Even when frost threatens, the best thing to do is to take the risk. Frosted tobacco is hardly more worthless than tobacco, cut green. So let the planter keep this caution always in view and never make the mistake of cutting your tobacco green. A sore lec. the flesh a mass of dis eate, yet P. P.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WOULD AROUND US. A Condensed Report of the News From Our Contemporaries Gleaned Here and There For Busy Readers. The boll warm is doing untold damage to the Texas cotton crop. Last week, near Lewiston, Jack Baymore, a negro boy, was killed at a saw mill by a log rolling over him. A successor to the late Justice J. J. Davis is to be elected. Judges Mac Rae and Connor, Attorney General Davidson and W. D. Pruden are mentioned in this connection. At the Lumberton convention last cuuuu mat Wednesday Hon. S. B. Alexander was renominated for Congress by acclamation, and Sol. C. Weill Esq., ol Wilmington tor eletor on the first ballot. "I shall die to-night," said W H. Shelton, at Marshall last week to the sheriff who was taking him to jail. He was a robust, healthy man, on trial for the murder of Grant Tweed. He asked to see his wife and that he might be put in a comfortable room instead of a cell, which were granted. He died at 2 o'clock. "I am a Republican, dyed in the wool," said ex-Senator William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, "but I will tell you that Grover Cleveland will be next President of the United States, if he lives until 1 2 o'clock noon the 4th of March next. Harrison will not make a much better showing than Gen. Scott did in i8si. The Charlotte Observer gives the following figures : Number of cotton mills in Georgia, 80 ; number of cotton-mills in South Carolina, 57 ; num number of cotton-mills in North Caro lina, 157 . Spindles operated in Geor gia, 517,771 ; spindles operated in North Carolina, 541,961. Ten years ago both Georgia and South Caro lina led North Carolina in the num ber of spindles operated. Bears are giving hunters sport at Goose Creek. A few nights ago one was wounded by a tiled gun set by Mr. Bryan Dixon. The next morn ing he was trailed by dogs to where he had stopped, a party following. The bear showing fight when reached. The first time he was fired at he was missed, but the next load fired by Mr. Wm. Brinson settled hiim New Bern Journal. Mr. John P. Allison's wheat crop, just threshed, is the biggest yet re ported and we doubt very much whether there is a crop in the county that is so large. One hundred and forty acres sown in wheat produced 1,707 bushels, or an average of twelve and one-fifth bushe Is to the acre ; sixty-five acres sown in oats yielded 1,000 bushels, or an average of seventeen bushels to the acre. Concord Standard. The prohibition Convention com pleted their work Thursday, nomina ting a full State ticket. Following is a list : For Governor, James Mc Pherson Templeton, of Wake: Lieutenant-Governor, W. G. Candler, ot Buncombe ; Attoney-General, E. K. Proctor, of Lumberton ; Auditor, D. B. Nelson, of Buncombe ; Superin tendent Public Instruction, R. C. Root, ol Guilford ; Secretary of State J. W. Long, of Randolph ; Treasurer J. B. Bonner of Anson. A full elec toral ticket was also put up. The State Alliance was in annual session at Greensboro last week The following officers were elected : President. Marion Butler : Vice President, T. B. Long ; Treasurer, W. H. Worth ; State Lecturer, Dr. C. Thompsom ; Doorkeeper, Henry ; Assist Doorkeeper, H. E. King ; Chaplain, John Ammond ; Sergeant-at-arms, J. S. Holt ; Dele gates to the National Alliance, Marion Butler, W. A. Graham, S. B. Alex ander and Dr. Cyrus Thompson, of Onslow. The State Pharmaceutical Asso ciation in session at Raleigh last week decided to meet in Winston next August and elected the follow ing officers : President, H. R. Chears, of Plymouth'; Vice Presi dents, N. D. Fetzer, of Concord ; J. H. Bobbit, of Raleigh, and W. G. Thomas, of Louisburg ; Treasurer, A. J. Cooke, of Fayetteville ; Secretary, F. W. Hancock, of Oxford ; Member of the Board of Pharmacy, W. H. Wearn, ot Charlotte. The breach between the negroes and the Mott wing of the Republican party is now complete. The negro newspapers are wild in their expres sions of resent reeardiner Dr. Mott. and J. C L. Harris, editor of the Signal, the fusion organ. The negroes demand a State ticket. It is the first time the Republican factions have ever drawn the color-line in North Carolina. The Eaves faction say frankly that Editor Harris has placed himself without the pale of the party by his declaration that he will not support a State ticket. . Cumberland Democrats at Fay etteville last week, amid great enthu siasm, nominated the following ticket: House, Henry L. Cook and Rev. E. E Edwards ; Senate, John W. Mc Lauchlin ; Sheriff, J. B. Smith by acclamation; Register, H. L. Hall; Coroner.Dr. J. F. H'ghsmith ;Survey- or, J. Hector Smith. Resolutions deploring the death of Justice J. J. - ' Davis and endorsing J udge McKae for the vacancy on the Supreme Court bench were presented by Hon. George M. Rose and unanimously j adopted. YOU CAN'T STAND THIS! Miscegenation, Mixed schools and Con flscated Property for Us. Exulting over the passage ..of the Force bill, by the Republican House of Representatives under the leader ship of Speaker Reed, the National Republican, then published at the Federal Capitol, and the organ of the Republican party, explains as fol lows how it was intended to confis cate the property of the white people in the South. It said : "When through the operation of the Lodge national election law, six or seven Southern States shall dis card Democratic rule, we shall look confidently to see some measures of justice done the blacks, who have ; , m M , . , , , . . . . . ... 'B1113' neavy ia..es snouiu oe laid upon the property of the whites to develop and extend the public school system in those States." And the Third party organs and leaders tell the people there is no dan ger in a Force bill. Has not Harri son and his partv declared in favor of the bill ? Those who have no taxes to pay, and are ready to aid in the restoration of negro rule in the South, may be indifferent as to the Force bill, but the voter who pays taxes and favors honest government cannot be indifferent. There are now nearly a million colored children attending the public schools of the South. Is not the burden of the expense of these schools mainly borne by the white people r Their organ could not conceal its feelings of joy, and gave vent thus to the wicked and treasonable de sign of Harrison and the Republican party. It further said : "Separate schools for the two races should be abolished, and the plan of bringing the youth of both colors into close and equal relations in schools and churches given a fair trial, as one of the most potent ele ments to break down the detestable Bourbonism of the South. The right of the blacks to bear arms should be guaranteed to him, as well as all the social rights intended to be secured by him by the passage ol the four teenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. The State laws against the inter-marriage of the races should be repealed, and any discriminations against the blacks in the matters of learning trades or obtaining employment should be made a criminal offense, while the colored man's right to hold office should be sacredly protected and recognized. A few years of this policy will solve the race problem satisfactorily.' The dark plot ot these conspirators against the whites of the South was happily defeated by Democratic Sen ators, but the conspiracy has not been abandoned, and the conspirators are still active. This is evidenced by the anxiety manifested by Harrison and his Republican organs for the safety of negroes who rape white ladies in the South. Fred. Douglas has set an example which Harrison would have enforced by means of another Force bill. Can there be but one course of action for white people in the South ? State Chron icle.

"The Democratic party has won every election in North Carolina since 1870 in the last month of the cam paign" remarked the veteran Peter M. Hale, a few months before his death. All men who are acquainted with politics know that this is largely true. Knowledge of the fact that the tide turns to Democracy in the last days of the fight should encour age us to fight. There is a reason for this. It is : Democracy is not only right but it is essential for the preser vation of the liberties of the people. There may be divisions and differ ences, but in the presence of immi nent danger North Carolina patriots can be depended upon to stand firm against a common enemy. Trust the people.
