The Way Out of th Wilderness.
Messenger.
We think that a careful examina
tion of the figures of the last election
held in North Carolina will show that
the democratic party was in the "mi
nority. It is equally apparent that it
has been in the minority for some
yearsv- The cause of this was un
questionably the defection in its
ranks. The going out from
tfie democracy of some thousands of
voters threw the democracy
into the minority. AH know what
unfortunate results have followed and
what great wrongs have been visited
upon the state, upon the people of all
parties. Society is so organized and
government so operates that wrongs
cannot fall altogether upon political
opponetns, but all must share bad
consequences if not altogether at least
in part. Jf iniquities abound , the
men who cause them cannot escape
untouched. The fires that burn one
must bum all. . ,
In looking around for an opportu
nity to reclaim the state, the
Messenger has believed that the
only safe, sure way, was by all good
citizens, really patriotic and favorable
to honest, good, equal, economical
government, getting together in sup
port of a common ticket, and thus re
deem North Carolina and restore
order and confidence and hope. To
this end, the Messenger said-not long
ago that a white man's party was
necessary. We have seen no cause
to change the view taken. The dem
ocrats voted in 1896, ; about 140,
. 000. "- They must have some 30,000
-votes additional perhaps to make
sure of the state in 1898. Where
are they to come from ? We do not
know ol but two sources upon
which to draw.
1. The stay-aways. There are
50,000 voters in North Carolina who
do not vote.
2. The men who seceded from
the party, numbering some 40,000
possibly.
These two sources must be strong
ly drawn upon il the democrats shall
carry the state. We do not believe
that the democratic party should
cease to be strictly demosratic. That
would mean division, disintegration,
destruction. It cannot afford
to alter its principles to catch voters
oi any kind. In doing that it would
repel and lose more votes than it
would gain. It cannot afiord to low
er its crest or dally with revolutiorp-
ary demagogues or wild cat theories
or reckless - demagogic demands.
It must open wide its doors and be
hospitable to all comers who are will
ing to co-operate and help save the
good old state in 1898.
The democratic party has 140,000
150,000 members in the state.
It must not in its conciliation lose
sjght of its integrity, its princi
pies, its foundations. It must no
surrender one iota of basic principle
It can invite the aid of all men who
really desire to bless North Caroli
na. There is nothing in
past experience or past history, as we
see it,to invite bargaining of any kind
vu j-
v c ucucvc a suaigiu uem
ocratic platform is necessary firsf.
Good leadership, faithful, active
work, without "fusion" of any kind
with any party, and an appeal to the
best and most honorable men of all
parties to help in the good work in
hand, is all that can be well expected
and perhaps all that should be de
manded. Co-operation does not
mean betraying principles or dicker
ing for official plunder. Co opera
tion with out price is manly, open
commendable. Co-operation with
price may do more harm than good
It will be a mistake, to press fusion
that means a swap ot offices and
lowering or surrender of principle.

1 T "a . Wter. written by Bishop
Cheshire to the Messenger of Hope,
rom Glasgow, Bishop Cheshire says:
"ne thing has struck me in almost
11 mv intercourse with English peo-
nW of which I believe I have not
spoken in,my other two fetters. That
is their great interest in America, auu
their desire for the friendship of the
United States. They feel that quar
rels with France and Germany and
Russia are more or less unavoidable,
but I do believe that they have a
most earnest desire tht nothing
should disturb the friendly relations
between us and them. And this does
not seem to be a selfish feeling, but a
sentiment springing of their increas
ing realization of the essential unit of
the great English speaking people as
represented in the American Republic
and in the British Empire. Many
wise men think that the British public
is coming to realize its position as
only one part of a great world-wide
community as it has not done in the
past. If the war and blood , shed be,
as all wise men are agreed, that they
are, contrary to the principles of
Christ, then certainly two such na
tions as these should learn to settle
their differences without violence, and
when they have learned this they
may be able to teach the rest of the
world the same. But I must nqt
preach. I am sure your readers do
not wish me to send them sermons
across the Atlantic. But I have been
very much impressed with this fact as
the feeling of English people toward
America and I think our people
ought to know it "

The Roman
mother who with
her rnantle de
fended the body
of her child from
the ravenous
birds of prey is
a perfect type of
motherhood in
all times and
amonpr all peo
ple. To protect
her offspring
from harm is the
. overwhelming
instinct of moth
erhood. Modern moth
ers are comingr to
understand that
the best protec
tion they can
jrive their chil
dren against the
preying acci
dents of life is to transmit to them an
abundance of natural health and hardihood.
But a mother cannot confer health and
strength upon her offspring unless she has
it iri some measure herself.
Prospective mothers should know that
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a sci
entific medicine, which gives perfect health
and strength to the special organs con
cerned in motherhood.
Taken early during the expectant time, it
makes the coming of baby entirely safe and
nearly painless. It insures cheerfulness
and recuperative energy to the mother and
constitutional vigor to the child.
It is the only perfect and positive specific
for all weaknesses and diseases of the feminine-
organ ism.
Mrs. F. H. Forgey, of Cams, Keyapaha Co,,
Neb., writes: " I write to von again concerning
my daiigther, Mrs. D. Billings. She has taken
two bottles of Fa-vorite Prescription.' She
thinks the medicine did her .a world of good.
She was confined the 15th of February. Was sick
but a short time and has a 10 pound daughter.
Got along nicely afterward. Looks good, com
plexion looks clear, and she says she never felt
so well.

Smallest Dogs in the World,
Over in Japan, where the people
are fond of everything in minature,
the smallest breed in the world has its
home. They belong to the family
of spaniels, and are black and white
or yellow and white in color, and the
smaller they are the more money
they will bring. A pup of one yen-
weighing five pounds is worth $200.
If the breeder is fortunate enough to
raise a spaniel weighing three pounds
or less he can get almost any price he
wants for it. Sales have been made
to the sum of $500. one of these
queer little dogs can easily lie on a
man's band or find a comfortable
nook for sleeping in a boot-leg. They
are very delicate and tender and have
to be . watched and cared for like a
baby. It given proper attention they
will sometimes live to the age often
years.

that most men, when they have at
tained prominence in political life, 01
in social life, or men ot wealth, prefer
not to have it said that , they were
bnce poor and had to work for a liv
ing. They seem be ashamed cf
the fact that they have made their
own way in the world and made a
success of it. Very often we ' have
had occasion to notice this when call
ed upon to write up people, and have
more than once been requested not
to mention the fact the subject of the

not small iri the sense of being mean,
but small in the sense of being insignificant.

in books of little events that turn the

One of the best of weather proph
ets is the spider. If there happens
to be a web in the secluded corner of
the porch watch it carefully for a few
days or weeks and the spider will un
failingly predict the coming ol
storms. -
When a high wind or heavy rain
threatens the spider may be seen tak
ing in sail that is, shortening - the
rope filiaments that sustain the web
structure. It the storm is to be un
usually severe or of long duration the
ropes awe strengthened as well shor
tened, the better to resist the onset of
the elements. Not until pleasant
weather is again close at hand will
the ropes be lengthened as before.
On the contrary, we see the spider
running out the slender filiaments, it
is certain that calm, fine weather has
set in, whose duration may be measr
ured by their elongation.
Every twenty-lour .hours the
spider makes some alteration in its
web to suit the weather. If these
changes are made toward evening,
just before sunset, a fine, clear night
may be safely counted upon. When
the spider sits quiet and dull in he
middle ol the web, rain is not far of4.
If it be active, however, and contin
ues so during a shower, then it will
be of brief duration, and sunshine will
How. These various indications
may be witnessed and studied to the
best advantage in the open air. -But
you need not always go outdoors to
watch the spider barometer. There
are few houses where the crafty crea
ture does not find an obscure corner
wherein to swing its signboard:
"Flies taken in and done for here."
Watchthese places and when you see
he spiders coming out on the walls
more freely than usual you may be
sure that rain is near-

One great drawback to successful

grow such crops as are best adapted
to prevailing conditions ; it he will be
methodical and give as much attention
to details as is necessary in almost
any other line. of business, he will suc
