Sunday Morning, Oct 14, 1894 WHICH DID THE LEAVING ? vapi. . n. rviicnin in nis speecnes fnnt , , ( mm I . ,- , says he didn't leave the Democratic party, it was the Democratic party that left him. That is about the only excuse that men like Kitchin who either through pique or ambition turn a political summerset can offer the party left them, they didn't leave the party. The Populists of this section call themselves Jeffersonian Democrats, and claim, like Kitchin, who isn't a full-fiegged Populist yet, that the Democratic party has left them. It left some ot them very suddenly, so suddenly that they never discovered that it had taken its departure until they saw, or thought they saw, an office within reach by becoming a Populist or half Populist and half Republican. When did the Democratic party leave Mr. Kitchin? He was with it so fully up to the time of the last elec tion that although he threatened to bolt and stump the State against Cleveland if he was nominated, he swallowed Cleveland and made speeches for him. He was with it after the election for he put in a bid for an office and although he didn't get what he wanted he got an easy )od in a very nice town to live in New Orleans a job that thousands of men, not so hard to please as the gentleman from Halifax, would have considered a soft snap. But he didn't relish the job, almost a sine cure, of inspecting immigrants at a moderate salary. If the salary had been larger he might have worried along with it longer and the Demo cratic party wouldn't have left him yet. But how did the Democratic party leave Mr. Kitchin ? When and where did it slide off from its princi ples and leave him standing alone the sole custodian (if we except the Jeffersonian Populists) of those prin ciples ? The Democratic Congress repealed the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, but it took Repub lican votes to do it. But the Demo cratic platform adopted at Chicago denounced the Sherman act as a "cowardly makeshift," and although itflidn't in so many words pledge the party to its repeal virtually did so by declaringnhat every one should favor its speedy repeal. The phrase "a cow ardly makeshift" was borrowed from Mr. D. B. Hill, whom Mr. Kitchin would have nominated instead of Cleveland, if he could. He never objected to that declaration of the platform and he couldn't consis tently object because he knew that the Sherman act was not a Demo cratic but a Republican measure, which was opposed when before Con gress by the Democrats and favored by the Republicans, who used it to hold the silver States in the Republi can column. After the election and the Republican party was defeated they were as ready to repeal it as they were to pass it, and none more so than wily John Sherman, who was credited with its paternity. Mr. Kitchin can't claim that the Demo cratic party left him on that, because the Democratic party had no lot nor parcel in originating it nor in passing it, but on the contrary opposed it when under discussion. But the Democratic party has not given us free and unlimited coinage of silver. Perhaps that's what is the matter. But when did the Demo cratic party promise that? It didn't do it in the platform of 1892, which simply declared in favor of free coin age on certain conditions. It is true that a great many Democrats Were then, (and some of them were in that convention,) and are now in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver, but they didn't go off sulking by themselves, nor go over to the Populist party and get up a little circus of their own to go around and scold the Democratic party r.nd swear it left them, as Captain Kitchin does If he was consistent and sen sible and really as anxious for free silver as he seems to be he would stay with the free -silver Democrats and keep on fighting for it, instead of pulling out and getting up a little guerilla warfare on his own account. But he admits that the Southern Representatives and Senators were, with few exceptions, right, and voted right on the silver question, and yet he says they have all left him, be cause they wisely decide to make their fight for it within the party lines. So the Democratic party has not left the Captain on the silver question, because it never committed itself at any time to the free and un limited coinage of silver. That not a question of principle, anyway, it ia oimply a question of finances, on which financiers and the people of all parties differ. i When Democratic candidates in this State in 1890 favored the free coinage of silver, and the People's party leaders were afraid that this might take some of the wind out of their sails, they declared that the free coinage of silver wouldn't amount to a continental, as all the Government could coin if it kept the mints running steadily wouldn't amount to more than seventy-five cents per capita. That was the ground taken by Col. Polk, their recognized leader, who sneered at it as a tub thrown to this whale, a mere bagatelle not worth discussing or thinking about. Ail the lesser lead ers, the lieutenants who obeyed their chieftain's orders, echoed Col. Polk and said it wasn't the free coinage of silver they wanted but a $50 per capita issue of greenbacks. Perhaps Captain Kitchin does not like the new tariff. Well, there are a good many Democrats who would prefer a somewhat different tariff, but they recognize the fact that as they study it this is on the whole a very good 'tariff, that it will save the people, and especially the Southern people, many millions of dollars a year, and they are not going around quarrelling with the Democratic party and swearing it left them, but they are taking the tariff and propose to peg away on the tariff reform line and help to improve it all they can, just as Captain Kitchin should have done if he had acted sensibly and patriotically. In view of these facts we are forced to the conclusion that it wasn't the Democratic party which left Captain Kitchin, but Captain Kitchin who left the Democratic party, and the Democratic party can stand- it better than Captain Kitchin can. XIKUJt A2HT10H. The Wadesboro Messenger says that when Captain Kitchin spoke in that town he refused to say, when the question was put to him, whether be would vote for Faircloth and Furches for Supreme Court Judges. It was a rather embarrassing ques tion to put to him, for he couldn't well say that he would vote for two representative men of the Republi can party, which he has been de nouncing for years and still de nounces, and he couldn't well say no, for that would be throwing cold water on the fusion, in whose in terest he is working and making those tremendously long speeches. He did the only thing he could have done under the circumstances, snapped his jaws and said nothing. A man in his position, who when a question like this is put to him can say neither yea nor nay, must feel something like a fellow setting astride of a barbed wire fence with nothing above to hang on to. But isn't this one-half the "new par tisan judiciary" that Marion Butler and the other Pop machine mana gers are asking the people whom they are attempting to lead andhum buging to vote for? And one of them for Chief Justice. Marion and the other Pop fusers plume themselves on being Jeffersonian Democrats, too, that is better, purer, straighter Democrats than modern Democrats, who can't see any Jeffersonian or other Democracy in conspiring with Republicans, and nominating and supporting Republicans for office, the most responsible offices in the State, on the hypocritical pretence that they want to make these offices "non partisan." We are disposed to half way sympathize with the "Jefferson ian Democrat " Kitchin, in his em barrassment, but we can't help des pising the gauzy hypocrisy of the Marion Butler "Jeffersonians." The State Democratic Executive Committee is doing what it can to send and keep speakers in. the field, but if it had three times as many speakers at command as it has, it could not meet all the requirements, hence much must necessarily depend upon the efforts of county commit tees and the zealous, patriotic Dem ocrats of the respective counties, who know the counties best and the localities where meetings will do the most good. We are now within a few weeks of the end of the cam paign, and much earnest effort and solid work should be done within this time. Meetings should be held in as many places in each county as possible, in the remote places where it is not convenient for the people to leave their homes and travel to county seats or other towns. Appointments should be made at these places even if not more than a couple dozen or even a dozen men might be expected, for through these dozen a dozen more might be influenced, and much more good accomplished than the speaker or speakers who addressed might im agine. Some of these meetings might be held on Saturdays when the week's work was pretty well finished up, or at night when the farmers could attend without leaving their work. All of the work that it is possible to do in country localities should be done from this on, and if it is done it will tell on election day. One of the campaign cries of the fusion black-and-tan party in this State is for "a free ballot and a fair court," "purity and honesty in elec tions," &c. This is one of the howls the Populists have borrowed fro.m ttre Republicans, and to ofie who knows everything about the election methods of the Republican party in the South, and in this State, in its day of power the cry is an exceed ingly big burlesque. That was Tom Watson's yawp in Georgia, too, and the other Pop politicians down there echoed Tom. They wanted a "free" ballot and it looks as if they meant what they said, for in one county where they had control and where there were3600 registered voters.there were 4,200 votes cast, which wasn't doing bad for a "free" ballot. In another county they dressed negro women in men's clothes and voted them. That wasn't doing bad for a "free" ballot, either. This latter kink they learned from the Republi cans, with whom they are now run ning and from whom they are learn ing pretty rapidly. That was a com mon thing in the days of Republican ascendancy in this State, and the Re publican party managers thought it was a very funny and clever thing to do. It was a funny thing also for the negro women who thus masqueraded under the escort of the white bosses. CURRENT COMMENT. Within the last week there has been a great Democratic revival in all parts of the country. The ne cessity of coming together and work ing for success is everywhere felt. Unity has taken the place of discord. Faction has gone into retirement and the Democratic outlook grows brighter with each day. Norfolk Virginian, Dem. Mr. Harrison was quoted some weeks ago as having said that Senator Hill would be defeated as the Democratic candidate for Gov ernor in New York by 75,000 ma jority. Mr. Depew made it 50,000, and now Mr. Warner Miller puts it at 15,000. Two weeks more of Re publican shrinkage at the same ratio would land Mr. Morton about half a mile outside of the breastworks. Phil. Record, Dem. The scarcely-disguised pur pose of Wheeler and his crew is to elect Levi P. Morton as Governor of New York. They don't pretend to believe thai Wheeler can be elected. Mr. Fairchild is Wheeler's right hand man in this traitorous move ment. Fairchild has a grievance against Hill and takes this method of trying to "get even" with him. Richmond State, Dem. A Novel for Four Cents. For four to five cents each you can get novels by Charles Reade, A. Conan Doyle, Rider Haggard, Miss Mulock, Miss Braddon, Wilkle Collins. Robert L. Stevenson, Alex.

Deserted are now both the mountain and shore. And home life a boom receives quite, Alas! in all pleasures there's some bint of pain, And now, as in seasons before, The untuned piano is banging again That's thumped by the people next door. Denied thus the rest and the quiet of home, We fly from the dread noisy bore, Though chill blow the breezes, con tented to roam Abroad till the agony's o'er. But brief is the rest we're permitted in bed. At dawn it starts in as before. Ah, me! that piano would waken the dead As thumped by the people next door. New York Press.

Durham Sun: Last night about 10 o'clock Officers Scarlett and Wood arrested George McCrumpton, colored, who is wanted in Burlington for break ing into the bouse of a colored woman named Bettie Vincent and assaulting her on the 15th of March, 1893. He is also wanted in this city for assault. Clinton Democrat: Mr. Owen K. Woodcock, a prominent citizen of Moore's Creek, Pender countv, died at his home on September the 25th. 1894, at 8 o'clock p. m. His death resulted from a protracted case of heart dropsy. Mr. Woodcock was born January 28th, 1816, and had he lived a few months longer he would have reached his 79th year. j Raleigh Press: Harnett county has lost one of its most prominent citi zens in the person of Dr. John McCor mick who was at one time a director of the Insane Asylum at Raleigh. He has also served his county as he Representa tive in the Legislature. He also served his district during the war as a member of the Confederate Congress. He quietly passed away at his home on Sunday evening the 7th. having suffered several days with asthma. In the suit this morning of J. Sam Sbarpe vs. C. Tom. Bailey, Jr., for libel, proceedings were dismissed for lack of prosecution. SUNDAY SELECTIONS. (Life is a memory, and more than a memory. It reaches back to where memory never was, to unknown fields. Life is a hope, and more than a hope.; It extends forward where hope cannot penetrate, to a future of humanity not to be conceived of, to divine conceal ment whence will come relations to the joint glory of God and of man. W. M. Bicknell. That this life is the period of probation, and the only probation, and that after death comes the judgment and the fixed destiny, is the plain teaching ot the word of God. This doctrine has stood the test of the ages, and though it has met opposition within and without, it is still a corner-stone of our faith, for which let eAeryone contend earnestly in these latter days. Culture is not character. Often in the nomcS of the Inwiy. ahtrc all rules of language are violated and nothing is known of the conventional etiquette, there are found the most illustrious examples of true nobility of character pure, strong love between husband and wife, obedience and devo tion in the children, tender and affec tionate care for the aged, and constant concern for the happiness of others.

The almost endless variety of pretty dress accessories in fashion nowadays is a wonderful help to a scantily filled purse. With their aid tho same gown may bo made to do duty many times in different characters. Take, for instance, a soft tex tured, silky striped black crcpon, lined throughout with thin black alpaca. Have It made with the round cut of skirt and a plain, tight flitting bodice, the upper part of the sloevos one largo puff, gathered it the el-bows into long, tight cuffs, ar- SEFARATE YOKE. ranged to take off or on at will This makes a stylish, fashionable gown to wear at any festivo aftcrnooifgathering by add ing to tho plain bodice a colored plastron of bengallno, surah or indeed any pretty silky fabric. Trim tho edgoof the plastron with a fine make of laco and cover tho neckband with a lnco ruffle. This will give a dressy effect to the entiro gown if worn out of doors. The hat or bonnet must of course hannonizo in color with tho plastron. Tho samo gown may bo turned into a charming evening dress for wearing at a dinner party, the theater or an evening "at home" by replacing tho plastron with a deep laco yoke, with epau lets of the samo laco gathered full on the 6houldtrs. Tho yoke is made in one with a high collar band and fastens behind with small hooks and eyes. Tho band may be draped with silk and a sash of the same Bilk worn round tho waist, tied behind with a large bow and long ends, the ends trimmed with lace to match tho yoke and epaulets. To give a more full dress effect for the evening the long cuffs may be re moved, leaving tho arms bare to tho cl bows. Tho yoke illustrated is of butter colored guipure, bordered with narrow accordion plaiting of black mousselino do sole. Tho wrinkled collar is of silk. Judic Ciiollet. A Woman Carpenter. The progressive women of the times are striving not only for political power, but for admission into tho medical, legal and clerical professions. Very few of them, however, aro desirous of earn ing a livelihood as ordinary mechanics. It is interesting, therefore, to learn from the Philadelphia Carpenter that a lively young Danish woman, Miss Sophio Christensen, ia anxious to get work in Chicago as a carpenter and joiner. In the city of Copenhagen she learned her trade, to which she was bound as an ap prentice. When her apprenticeship was .completed a short time ago, she was ad mitted to full membership in the union. Sho displayed great aptitude and skill as a worker at tho trade, and sho is ready to display specimens of her handi craft Among other things, sho has made a "self closing bookcase" which is serviceable, artistic and beautiful and which is admired by everybody who sees it Sho is but 26 years old, and sho ex pects to get a good job in Chicago as soon as tho trade brightens up. What Passed Between Them. Two men of more or less bibulosity who had always been friends got into a row one night which gadad in get ting pretty badly battered and the other being arrested for assault and battery. On the trial one of tho attorneys was quite anxious to know why two such friends had got into such trouble. "Will yon state just how tho diffi culty originated?" he inquired of tne one on tho stand The witness told a very much involv ed story. "That isn't what I want to know, " said the attorney sharply. j The witness made another try. "That's no clearer thanthe other," objected the attorney. "Can't yon tell just what passed between yon and noth ing more?" Tho face of tho witness showed a light in it "Oh," he said, "is that what you want to know?" "Of course it is. Tell that and no more. " "WelL as near as I can remember, there were 10 beers, four whiskies, two giu fizzes, two Manhats, one brandy and one vermouth, one bottle of cham pagne" "That's enough, " interrupted tho at torney. "All tho rest is easily explain ed now. " Detroit Free Press. Temperature of the Earth. Goldthwaite's Geographical Maga zine is authority for the statement that tho temperature of tho earth increases one degree on an average for each 65 feet of descent into its interior, basing its conclusions on observations made at the great shaft at Sperenberg, Germany, which is the deepest boring over made by man 4,172 feet At such a rato of increase tho earth's temperature of only 200 miles is 18,000 degrees above the zero of Fahrenheit's thermometer.

The queen of the Sioux is the wife of a white man. Neither of them is or has any reason to bo ashamed of it Red Cloud, without question the greatest Indian chief of this generation, gave her away at the altar on the Sioux res ervation. The Sioux queen's husband is Charles P. Jordan, brother of Lieuten ant Colonel Jordan, United States ar my, a cousin of General Custer and one of the most tried representatives of the government in tho Indian country. He bears the honor of being the only whito man who was ever elected a member of the Sioux council. In their days of pow er, before hardly a single white face had been seen west of the Missouri river, the Dakotas (Sioux) wore one nation, ruled by one chief. The last of this au tocratic dynasty was Old Smoke, who died in 1859 after seeing his people pushed westward and his power curtail ed Although the husband of more than one squaw, ho left but one child, a tiny girl, who could hardly coo when Old Smoko got ready to float upward to tho happy hunting grounds. When dying, ho took her in his arms and named her Tho Beautiful Woman, and so she has since been known. Tho Beautiful Wom an was a princess. Sho did no work, but learned of missionaries, scorned dog meat and kept her nails trimmed and her glorious black hair- plaited and combed. She grew to womanhood, high spirited, proud and capricious an ideal squaw. But as no ideal chief came to woo her she scorned an alliance with any common member of the tribe. Young Jordan, a tall, bright eyed fellow of good education and address, come west as clerk to the Indian agent at Pine Ridgo. He fell in love with the princess, and his love was reciprocated by the Sioux maiden. And so they were married by a priest in stole and surplice and with all the formalities of tho white man's laws and customs. The big Sioux chiefs came from miles around to attend tho wedding, the army officers from tho neighboring posts jingled their spurs in tho Old Virginia reel, which followed tho benediction, and tho pretty Sioux queen has since been plain Mrs. Jordan. A bevy of black eyed children bless the alliance. Charles P. Jordan, the Sionx queen's husband, has lived on tho fron tier for many years. He is still in his prime, and his adventures would fill a book or several of them. He has been 6calped, shot full of arrows, has been tortured and even condemned to death by tho hostilcs. Thirty miles from-Rose-bud agency ho has a fine farm and stock ranch, well wooded with oak, elm, ash and box elder. There is a big orchard of cultivated fruits close by and a series of artificial dams down the valley, in which beaver aro encouraged to con struct their owii peculiar fortifications. Sioux City Journal. COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS. The English Drummer Compared With His Fellow Salesman In America. Tho commercial traveler in England is littlo different from his American brother, pursuing the same line of pol icy in "getting there" so far as securing trado is concerned. His invariable rule, however, is that his first price given to a local merchant is his last and only one. There is no going in the morning with an offer and then in tho afternoon with an extra inducement to make tho trade. This being tho invariable rule, it saves much labor and apprehension in the n-.iud of tho buyer that he has not doiio so well as ho could have done with movo diplomacy. Everything is done for the comfort of the traveler, and at the hotels a special ap:irtment called the commercial room is set apart for his exclusive use. In this room smoking is prohibited until 9 p. m. , a place being devoted to that pur pose at other times. Tho traveler takes his meals in tho commercial room, tho dinner being a set affair in which all travelers in the house generally partici pate. Tho oldest man is at the head of the table and is called tho procidont. while at tho foot is the youngest man, and ho is termed vice president. Selec tions of food aro often made by vote, and two or three will club together for special dishes or wines, the president generally putting the question. A dinner costs in this way from 50 to 75 cents and other meals in proportion, very good food and service being had throughout Great Britain and Ireland at tjiese prices. At these dinners and in the general conversation no introduction of one to the other, if strangers, is necessary, and all join in the general conversation and story telling, a trait common to tho whole brotherhood t commercial travelers, bo they found ; i London, New York or Kamchatka. Hardware. Quarter Deck and Gangway. Quarter deck originated from tho ar rangement that the portion of tho deck so called was about one-fourth of the whole spaco. Fore or forward castle received its name as being tho principal part of the ship in which tho fighting took place, being raised much above tho level of the other part of tho deck and holding a commanding position. Poop, tho raised of terpart of the ship, set apart for officers, both in meaning and deri vation, comes from tho Latin. Gangway has been handed down from tho days of the ancient galleys of the Phoenicians, Carthagenians and Ro mans, it having been a board which ran along tho wholo length, serving as a passage for tho rowers to and from their seats. It was also ntilizod as a resting place for tho mast and sa'i when not in use.
