By WILL.IA.7I II. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. Friday Morning, April 10, 1891 CONFLICTING ELEMENTS. It is the expectation of those who are leading in the third party move ment to form a combination of farm ers with the followers of other indus trial callings: but how long, if suc cessful, would such an organization last? It would carry right in its own body the elements of destruc tion. The ostensible inspiration to this movement is to benefit the farmer, who has been made the victim of discriminating legislation and of grasping combinations of monopo lists. All its activities are directed towards accomplishing something to better the condition of the farmer and relieve him from the burdens that he finds so heavy. While there is a proposed plan of relief for the farmer there is no plan of relief for the workers in other callings, and some of the plans of relief for the farmer if carried out would add still more to the hardships of the men who earn their living by labor in other callings, and even to some of the farmers themselves. Reference to some of the propo sitions suggested in the scheme of relief for the farmers will show how this is. They complain that transportation of farm .products on the railroads is too high, and they therefore demand that the Government become the owner of the railroads and carry freight at the actual cost of transportation. The object of this is to cheapen transportation and carry the farmer's products, his meat, wheat, corn, oats, etc., for as near nothing as possible. What would the result be? The products of the farm go East and South; never go North, save cotton and the early fruits and veg etables. The Western farmers, would be enabled to fill the markets of the East and South with his meat, wheat, corn, etc., and absolutely ruin those industries in both of these sections Cheap transDortation, or ownership of the railroads by the Govern ment, would thus far be a good thing for the Western far mer but a bad thing for the East ern and Southern farmer. Even now with the high freights the West- " ern farmer complains of he has been able to sell his meat, wheat, corn, &c, in Eastern and Southern mar kets at a less figure than the farmers of these sections can and earn a rea sonable profit. The result is that the farmers of several of the Eastern States have been compelled to aban don cattle-raising for beef and wheat for market, while thousands of others have abandoned their farms and gone to work in the cities. There is hardly a town in the -South, along the railroad lines, where Western beef,- shipped by the car load, may not be found, and it has to that extent driven the home raised beef out of the market. While cheap transportation may be a very good thing for the Western cattle raiser, it is not a good thing for the Southern cattle raiser, but the Western grain growers and cattle raisers ask the Eastern and South ern grain growers and cattle raisers to join them to secure government control of the railroads and cheapen freight rates. A part of the sub-Treasury plan of which we hear so much is a ware house system established at the ex pense of the Government and oper ated by the Government, to which the farmers not satisfied with the market price of their products could haul them to the warehouse, get a receipt and be entitled to a loan by the Government of eighty per cent, of the market value of the pro ducts stored. This is to ena ble the farmer to get a high er price for his products, to control the market and com pel the consumer to pay his price. This would be a very good arrange ment, for the farmer because it would enable him to hold his surplus back and thus run up prices, but not a very good thing for wage earners and others to whom it would mean dearer bread and meat. But, yet, the Alliance men who are engineer ing this third party movement ask the wage earners to come in and help them secure the warehouses to enable them to store their surplus and raise the price on the consumer. These are a couple illustrations, among others which might be cited, to show the conflicting elements out of which it is proposed to organize the third party, and the conflicting interests they will vainly endeavor to harmonize MINOR MENTION. Premier Rudini has cabled the Italian Consuls in this country to counsel calmness among the Italian residents, and expressing his confi dence that in consequence of the de parture of Baron Fava, the United States "will give Italy the satisfac tion that is due her." In some re spects this is a somewhat belated and somewhat peculiar dispatch. Maybe he had heard that ridiculous fake about the Mafia avengers who were drilling somewhere in Western Vir ginia preparatory to marching upon and capturing Pittsburg and then waltzing down South and knocking the stuffing out of New Orleans, and therefore urged calmness. But some time before Mr. Rudini's dispatch arrived the stock of Mafia indignation on tap had quite exhausted itself so that there wasn't enough on hand for use over that other subject of King Humbert, who was "massacred" in the mob at Morewood, Pa. The Premier is rather rough on Baron Fava, when he expresses confidence that "in consequence of the Baron's departure" this country will give Italy all the satisfaction that is due to her. It may be inferred from this that Baron Fava has been the ob stacle to a satisfactory adjustment of this afair, when the poor man exerted himself so .hard and got so badly broke up by Secretary Blaine's refusal to tear his shirt and get into a perspi-ation that he got real sick over it, and had to postpone his de parture. In the meantime it is well that Mr. Rudini has become calm, and that he is confident that this Government "will give Italy the satisfaction that is due her." He may rest assured of this. She will get all that is -'due to her" nothing more. She can't expect much for an escaped murderer and an outlawed brigand. The Congress of Inventors, which met in Washington Wednesday to celebrate the beginning of the scond century of ths American patent sys tem, is one of the most notable bodies of men ever assembled in that city notable not for the fuss or pa rade they have made, but for the work they have done and the brains they carry around with them. It is not often that one can look upon an assemblage containing such men as Thomas Edison, the mighty wizard, who has done more to harness .nd utilize electricity than all the men of all the ages combined; Dr. Graham Bell, who has taught the wire to talk; George Westinghouse, who has given the engineer com mand of x the air to curb his train when running at lightning speed; and Doctor Gatling, the North Caro linian, who has done much to revo lutionize modern warfare. There were others there, a thousand or more, many of them distinguished in the different branches of inven tive genius, whose works combined have put this country first among progressive nations and made her famous. Such a gathering of men would be well worth going to Wash ington to see. No other country, while some of them have distin guished inventors, could show it. - A new feature of the color line has been developed in the city of Tope ka, in that breezy commonwealth, the once "bleeding," but now mort-gaged-plastered Kansas. This is one of the States where women vote in municipal elections, and where they hustle about so lively that they elect women Mayors, town councils and all" that sort of thing. They haven't shown any partiality to the white sister,, for there the Afro American female meanders up to the ballot box and deposits her little ballot with the haughty air of a full plumaged sovereigness, and if she be on thrift bent, earns her half dollar by voting the right ticket, or by consideratelyjremain ing at home and attending to busi ness. In the Topeka election it was ascertained that the colored female denizens were throwing up their bonnets for Quinton, the Republi can candidate for Mayor, and were going to vote solid for him, where upon the wives of the white mascu line Republicans who were support ing Quinton proceeded to the polls solid for Coffran, the Democratic candidate, and elected him' by a plurality of 200. If Codfish Hoar and the balance of 'em should ever undertake to inject some life into the Force bill corpse, they should not forget to dwell upon this new feature in the race problem as an illustration of how the color line is extending. STATE TOPICS. We saw a statement in the Winston Sentinel a few days ago that the Wachovia flouring mills in Salem were grinding wheat grown in the far off State of Washington, shipped 2,500 miles or more by rail; and yet these mills are located in a section well adapted to wheat growing, and where by good culture splendid crops may be and are grown, yielding sometimes from forty to fifty bushels to the acre. But this is where the land has been cultivated right, and where the value of manure is fully understood. Notwithstanding the fact that that section is now-a rea sonably fair wheat growing one, and might by thorough culture be made one ot the best in the world, the Salem mills have never been able, at least in recent years, to command enough home grown wheat or corn to keep them running and supply the local demand for flour and meal. The farmers of that section have got tobacco so firmly rooted in their heads that it would take a two pouad charge of dynamite to tear it out. CURRENT COMMENT. Some of the most unpleasant scandals of Grant's Administration were along the line of the road which Gen. Harrison has upon more than one occasion manifested -a disposi tion to travel. We mean the broad, easy road that leads to confirmed and magnificent deadheadfsm. N. Y. Sun, Dent. Immigration laws that pro tect the Atlantic seaboard against pauper immigration while opening: a convenient side-door to as much of it as may chance to trickle across the Canadian border simply build up Canadian transportation lines and make our legislation a farce. Inspec tion to be of value must be of an all around sort. Phil. Record, Dem. But above all experts, with whom the naval question is a serious business matter, confirm the opinion which we have often expressed in these columns, that the sub-marine torpedo has now reached a stage of perfection when a slight improve ment will render it so absolute a protection for seaport towns that the ironclad as an invader will be heard of no longer in wars and rumors of war. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, Ind. The United States flag covers United States policy No other flag and no other policy can co-exist within the jurisdiction of the United States. The foreign flags and for eign policies as to government that have been flouted before Americans lately have no place in our system. This is a free country, bat it is a country and not a chaos. The sooner the fact is recognized by cer tain people residing in the "republic the better for all concerned. Ameri can sentiment is broad, just and tolerant; it is slow to formulate itself against even license, but when it does so formulate itself it is well for those who disturb the public quiet here to beware.

The pa per read before the John H. Raw lins Post, G. A. R., here-last week by Judge J. M. Shaw, on "The Life of Gen. Rawlins," shows that the man who stoocl nearest Gen, Grant during the war entertained grave ap prehensions from his chief's weak ness in respect of too free indul gence in stimulants, and did not hes itate to protest against it. "It is undoubtedly true," said Judge Shaw, "that at one time, and at a very critical period, there was a lurking demon of temptation and awakened appetite haunting this great man, which came very near getting him into its toils. The temp tation, the combined struggle of the two friends against it, the final grap pie and the triumphant outcome form a hitherto unpublished episode in the history of the war which will reflect added lustre upon the charac ter of both of them. This statement ' Judge Shaw sub stantiated by reading a copy ot a letter addressed by Gen Rawlins to Gen. Grant on this subject, as fol ows: "Before Vicksburg, Miss., June 6, 1863, 1 o'clock A. M. (iDear General: The great solici tude I feel in the safety of this army leads me to mention what I had hoped never again to do'the subject of your drinking. This may surprise you, for I may be, and I am, doing you an injustice by unfounded sus picions, but if an error, it better be on the side of his country's safety han in fear of offending a friend. "I have heard that Dr. , at Gen. Sherman's a few days ago, in duced you," notwithstanding your pledge to me, to take a glass of wine, and to-day, when I found a box of wine in front of your tent aid proposed to move it, which I did, I was told that youJiad forbidden its being taken away, that you intended to keep it until you entered Vicksburg, that you might have it for your friends; and to night, when you should, because of the condition of your health, if nothing else, have been in bed, I find you where the wine bottles have just been emptied, in company with those who drink and urge you to do likewise, and the lack of your usual promptness and decision and clearness in expressing yourself in writing conduces to confirm my sus picions "You have full control over your appetite and can let the drinking alone. Had you not pledged me the sincerity of your honor early last March that you would drink no more during the war, and kept that pledge during your recent campaign, you would not this day have stood first in the world's history as a suc cessful militiary leader. "Your only salvation depends upon your strict adherence to the pledge. You cannot succeed in any other way. As I have before stated, I may be wrong in my suspicions, but if one sees that which leads him to suppose a sentinel is falling asleep at his post, it is his duty to arouse him, and if one sees that which leads him to fear the General commanding a great army is being reduced to that step which he knows will bring disgrace upon that General aud defeat to his command, if he fails to sound the proper note of warning, the wives and children of those brave men whose lives he permits to remain thus in peril will accuse him, while he lives, and stand swift witnesses of wrath against him in the day when all shall be tried. "If my suspicions are unfounded let my friendship for jou and my zeal for my country be my excuse for this letter; and if they are cor rectly founded, and you determine not to heed the admonition and prayers ot this hasty note by ceasing to touch a single drop of any kind of liquor, no matter by whom asked or under what circumstances, let my immediate relief from duty in this department be the result. I am, General, your friend, John A Rawlins. Upon this letter, in the handwrit ing of Rawlins, was the endorse ment : "This is an exact copy of a letter given to the person to whom it is ad dressed, at its date, about four miles from our headquarters in the rear of Vicksburg. Its admonitions were heeded, and all went well." POLITICAL POINTS. Mr. Harrison's administration is the most unpopular since poor Mr. Hayes', but the country would be none the less solid behind it in a war against foreign aggression. That is the only conceivable subject upoli which it could ever obtain a majority. N. Y. World, Dem. Senator Edmunds is true blue, a Bourbon of the deepest and most in aradicable dye. None of your new issues for him. They amount to nothing. He is for the Republican party fighting the campaign of 1892 "on the same ground it has hitherto maintained" the Force bill and the McKinley tariff. And yet it is not many years since Senator Ed munds was rightly esteemed a man of sagacity and statesmanship. Phil. Times, Ind. Although Rhode Island is to have a Republican Governor elected by the Legislature, many political stati cians will put the State down in the Democratic column for 1892. A plurality of votes is sufficient to choose electors, and "the Democrats have had a plurality for three years in succession, and their candidate for Governor at the recent election had a plurality of 1,254 in a total vote of less than 45,000, which is equivalent to a plurality of about 5,000 in this city. Rhode Island has not cast its electoral vote for a Democrat since 1852. Phil. Lekger, Dem . PERSONAL. ; Speaker Reed is m Paris, look ing remarkably well.
