A BREEDER OF STRIFE.
A lady living near Washington,
Beaufort county, remarked that she
did not know much about politics
but she knew that before the Popu
list party came upon the stage there
was a friendly feeling among the
people, but since then there was
strife and brother was arrayed
against brother and friend against
friend
This is true not only in Beaufort
county but all over the State all
over the South and also in the West,
where the Populist party has gained
any foothold.
In this State the leaders of that
party, who are men of small mental
calibre, have done more to sow the
seeds of discord, and to create strife
and estrangement among men who
were friends than the leaders of the
Radical party did during all the
years in which that party contested
for supremacy, and there were some
very bad and unscrupulous men
among the leaders. Not since 1868,
when these Radical leaders had their
pliant followers banded in secret,
oath-bound organizations, and filled
them with devilment, and with hat
red of their political opponents, and
inflamed their passions and encourag
ed them to lawlessness by incendiary
speeches have such inflammatory
speeches been made and articles cir
culated among the people as there
have been since the entry of the
Populist party on the field. The
leaders seem to think that the way
to build up the party and to make it
strong is to create the impression on
the minds of those who listen to
them that they are a persecuted and
oppressed people, that all who are not
with them are banded against them
and that the persecution and oppres
sion will continue until they get the
reins of government and can pass
laws that will give them an equal
showing with others. It is not an
uncommon thing to hear one of
these outhing orators dilating on
the persuasive and salutary effect
of shot guns to achieve the
rights of which they are de
prived by a "fraudulent elec
tion," and whenever they are
beaten the elections are "fraudu
lent." They haven't yet gone so
far as to hint at and thus indirectly
counsel the torch and the dagger,
as was done in that memorable ad
dress issued by the Radical mana
gers in 1867, but they have learned
so much from their Radical associ
ates since they have formed the
partnership with them that there is
no telling what they will stop at.
Convince people that they are the
victims of ostracism, proscription,
persecution and oppression and it
will not be hard to put them in a
frame of mind to seek vengeance in
some way, and this is precisely what
the incendiary leaders of that party
are trying to do.
They tried "Gideon's Band" two
years ago but they found that in or
ganizing an order like that they
subjected themselves to punishment
provided by law and they prudently
discontinued the work they had en
tered upon. But they are doing
much of their discord sowing in
secret now, and have so poisoned the
minds of many of their followers
that they will not listen to any one
who does not subscribe to their
views, nor will they listen to any
speaker who does not make the
kind of a speech they like to hear.
In the days of Radicalism when
the party was strong and held the
negroes solid with it, their minds
were so prejudiced against Demo
crats that they could not be enticed
to a Democratic meeting without a
big barbecue or something of that
sort, and then they sometimes hesi
tated about eating for fear of being
poisoned by the Democrats. It is a
little remarkable that after the lapse
of so many years men should be en
deavoring to create the same dis
trust amorig white men that the
negro then felt for the white man
who differed from the party to which
he belonged.
If there were no other objection to
the Populist party this one should be
enough to condemn it in the estima
tion of all good and State-loving
people, who believe in good-will and
fraternal feeling among neighbors.
The men who sow discord, create dis
trust and breed hatred and strife do
the State infinitely more harm than
they could atone for by a life of effort,
if they should -ever realize the enor
mity of theii crime.
Across out Southern border we
have an illustration and a warning of
the baneful effects of this kind of
teaching, where incendiary and reck
less men have secured a controlling
influence over many of their fellow
citizens, and have wielded it wick
edly to promote their own schemes,
as the Populist leaders are doing In
this State. In our sister State the
feeling has long been such between
the opposing factions that blood has
been shed, lives taken, and civil war
narrowly averted. The triumph of
Populism or of the combination be
tween Populism and Radicalism
would put North Carolina in about
the same condition South Carolina
has been in for several years, and
that is something surely that no truly
patriotic, or really sensible North
Carolinian wants to see.
MINOR MENTION.
The Populist spokesmen in kthis
State are making much ado over the
free coinage of silver as if that were
a panacea for all the ills that are
afflicting the people. In the cam
paign of 1890 when several of the
State Democratic conventions de
clared for free coinage the Populist
leaders took the position that free
coinage wouldn't practically amount
to anything-as lar as relieving the
necessities of the people were con
cerned, and that it wouldn't add to
the currency more than seventy-five
cents per capita. -What they wanted
and what they must have was an
issue of Treasuryj notes to bring the
volume up to $50per capita, and sub
treasuries to distribute it among the
people. Now in this State they
have reversed the position, rejected
the sub treasury and are banking on
free coinage. Capt. Buck Kitchin,
however, who doejsn't seem to agree
with them in . jinything, doesn't
agree with them in this, and told the
people he talked to at Goldsboro
last week that free coinage wouldn't
amount to anything unless there was
an international agreement as to the
ratio of coinage, which is identically
the position that the Chicago con
vention took, which was opposed by
the more advanced tree silver advo
cates like Bland and others, who in
sist on free coinage on a ratio of 16
to L If Buck is correctly quoted in
his Goldsboro speech he does not
agree with the Populists nor with
the free silver Democrats. The fact
is that Buck is making a unique
campaign, and doesn't really agree
with anybody.
!
Senator Hill is making a gallant
fight in New York, and is not fear
ful of the result, notwithstanding the
factional opposition within the
Democratic lines, and the boastful
declarations of the Republicans.
New York is always a doubtful
State, although when the Democrats
are united and poll a full vote it is
Democratic. The uncertain factor
now is the so-called "reform" Demo
crat?, who are opposed to Hill
What their strength may be is a
mere matter of speculation, nor is it
certain that the leaders in the re
form movement can count on
the support of all of them
to the end, for many realizing
that they cannot elect their
ticket, and that voting for it will not
only be throwing their votes away
but aiding in the election of a Re
Republican, may reconsider and vote
for the ticket headed by Hill. There
is no one who knows the State of
New York better than Senator Hill,
and no man in it who can come
nearer bringing out the full vote of
the party. He understands the situ
ation fully, what he has to contend
agarnst, and we do not believe that
he was talking thoughtlessly nor in a
spirit of bravado, when he declared
at Oswego, Friday, that the Demo
cratic party was going to win.
The Building and Loan Associa
tion, properly conducted, is an im
portant factor in the betterment ot
the condition of people of small in
comes. Through them thousands of
persons of small means have become
owners of homes, which they never
could have owned withoutithem. The
Baltimore Sun gives the following
facts and figures, gathered from the
ninth annual report of the Commis
sioner of Labor, which will be read
with interest:
"The number of building and loan as
sociations in 1893 was 5.838, of which
number 5.598 were local or "State" asso
ciations and 250 "national." The total
dues paid in on installment shares in
force, with the profits on the same in the
year named aggregated $450,667,594.
This represents a large business, and
when it is added that but 35 associations
showed a net loss last year ($23,332) it
will be seen that the people who run
them, though not experienced bankers,
are competent to take care of their sav
ings. Uf the 5,598 local associations,
1,671 were "permanent," 750 were organ
izations "terminating" at a fixed date and
3,168 were "serial," or accustomed to is
sue shares in series, thus making their
business in effect continuous. Mary
land had 237 associations, of which num
ber 214 were "permanent," 18 "termi
nating" and 5 "serial." They are nu
merous in Pennsylvania, which has 1,-
079 of them, but Ohio has 718, Illinois
631, Indiana 429, New York 390
and Missouri 340. Vireioia has
but 76 and West Virginia 54.
Maryland has besides 3 "national" asso
ciations, which are all classed as "serial."
The utility of the associations is thought
to be indicated by their popularity.
The statistics show that in 1893 there
were over 1,745,725 shareholders and
over 456,004 borrowers. Some 315.000
homes, besides 28,500 buildings other
than homes, have been acquired through
the instrumentality of the 4.444 associa
tions that report on this point. Thrift
and industry have doubtless been pro
moted by the prospect of winning a
home afforded through the existence of
building and loan associations.
CURRENT COMMENT
The flood of foreign goods
with which the new tariff was to
deluge the country has not made the
faintest sign of its appearance. On
the contrary, American manufac
tures are going abroad in increasing
quantities in consequence of the im
pulse to trade. Phil. Record, JJetn.
Whatever may be the com
plexion of the next House, there is
no likelihood that it will attempt any
radical tariff revision. While the
party could be marshaled as a min
ority against the Wilson bill, it could
not be marshaled as a majority to go
back to the'McKinley bill, or to any
serious departure from the general
basis ot the present law. Tariff agi
tation will doubtless continue in the
next Congress, but it will accomplish
nothing; and whatever may be the
result in 1896, it is safe to assume
that there never will be any higher
tariff bill enacted than the general
features of the present tariff policy
of the government. Phil. Times Jnd.

LEAVES A LEGACY OF CURSES.
A. California Doctor ScoreK i: is :nemirs In
His Will.
Dr. John W. Hood, who was a practicing
physician In Hiiywards, Alameda county,
Cal., for a number of year.; and kept a
drug store i:i the same place, left a legacy
in his will, filed In Oakland recently, which
his enemies will not soon forget. Tho
friends of Dr. Hood say that he really diod
of a broken heart. The worry and sadness
brought into hb? once happy life encour
aged disease, which lie could not cope
with, and so passed away.
Something over a year ago Mrs. Hood,
tho wife of Dr. Hood, was scandalized
from one end of tho country to the other.
DR. JOHN- W. HOOD.
The couple had no children, and the wife
took a little girl to raise and be her com
panion. The story spread that Mrs. Hood
had treated the child in a most inhuman
manner and cut and bruised her on
many occasions. As the stories spread
they became magnified, and the whole
town of Haywarda was excited about the
matter. At last a warrant was sworn out
for her arrest on a charge of battery. At
the first trial the jury disagreed, but on
the second hearing she was acquitted after
an exciting contest. The publicity given
to tho matter wrecked tho happiness of
Dr. Hood and his wife. Tho latter was
never the same woman after her arrest,
and as she was idolized by her husband
he grieved to a great extent over the un
just persecution, as he termed it, which
had been made against her. One morn
ing when Dr. Hood awoke he found his
wife dead by his side. He had heard no
struggle during the night. The shock to
him was a great one. They said she died
from heart disease, but the doctor told his
friends that she really died from a broken
heart. The disgrace that had been brought
upon her name wrecked her happiness and
health irretrievably.
A few weeks ago Dr. Hood wrote his
will and left it at Haywards. His health
had been failing, and he decided to take a
trip to Europe. The start was made, and
when he reached Rochester, Ills., he died
suddenly. The will is a most extraordi
nary document. The testator makes a few
bequests to relatives and concludes as fol
lows: Lastly, I rvish to leave my und.'ing curse to
those villains who conspired by the false
charge of battery against ray darling and
whose base lies drove her to the crave, and to
the blackleg attorney, Mr. , the convicted
and all the rest of the good scandal
mongers of Haywards, including hypocritical
Mrs. , who was the worst of the lot. To
my many friends and my sympathizers, which
means all the honest, good and true people of
Haywards, I wish all the prosperity and hap
piness they deserve, with my everlasting grati
tude for their kindness.

IN A SPECTRAL 8KIFR
Ghost Said to Haunt the Mississippi River
at Dallas City, 111.
Fully 20 years have passed since Lizzie
Clark, an orphan with a heritage, disap
peared from a hotel in Dallas City, Ills.,
as completely as if the earth had swallow
ed her up. In all tho Mississippi valley
there has never been a stranger case than
the disappearance of poor Lizzie Clark,
and, too, thero has never been a greater
ghost mystery than has been and still is
occasioned by tho evidently disembodied
spirit of the girl.
The story of Lizzie Clark has been coun
ty history, says a Chicago Times corre
spondent. She was an orphan and had
. J 25!bbbb5bbb''
HE ROWED THROUGH THE GHOST.
some property and money. A guardian
had been appointed, and Lizzie, Ixdng am
bitious to add to her littlo store, set about
to work in a hotel hard by the river's edge.
It was ono afternoon about 20 years
ago that Lizzie Clark, who had been
washing dishes in the kitchen, stepped
out into the yard of the hotel. Sho was
seen to leave tho kitchen by several people
working around the house, who paid no
attention to the girl. But that was tho
last ever seen of Lizzie Clark. Those who
saw her step out Into the yard heard no
scream, no stifled moan, no struggling.
But thero are peoplo yet living who le
llovo that the girl was suddenly seized,
strangled, concealed in the house until
dark and then cast into the dark river.
It is said that the murderers did not
leave the locality for some time thereafter,
and yet, again, others say the girl was
never murdered, but drowned herself, and
that her ghost is not one of a murdered
person's, but one of a suicide. All ono
can gain from the different stories and
theories is that the girl was dealt with
foully in some manner, and that her ghost
still haunts the locality. Of course every
effort was made to ferret out the mystery.
Detectives hunted high and low, money
was spent to no purpose, and finally tho
guardian of the girl's estate turned her
money and property over to the county
authorities, in whose hands it remains to
this day, because there is no kith and kin
to claim it.
The girl's ghost was first seen in De
cember, 1887, when a party of duck hunt
ers were returning to Dallas City from
the islands. An excursion steamer had
becomo disabled late In the season and
was lying on the bank of the island across
the bay. She was in rather bad fix. It
was expected to leave her there during tho
winter. As the hunters neared tho craft
a form in white was seen to run out upon
the upper deck. It was a young girl's
figure, and she was evidently being pur
sued, for from across the water came
screams and then the following words:
"Let me alone, let mo alone, or I will
drown myself!" With that tho speo
ter flung itself into the river. There was
a splash, and the cold waters closed over
the white body. Several times during that
winter the ghost of Lizzie Clark was seen
at night and at early candle light around
the disabled steamer. When tho steamer
was taken away tho next spring, work
men and steamboatmen heard pitiful
screams from tho willows on shoro as tho
boat moved away. The spirit did not
leave the island, and it is believed now
that she was buried on tho island after
tho murder.
Of late years, however, tho girl's ghost
has been seen in a skiff at night, and it
was only a few evenings ago that ono of
the St. Louis and St. Paul fast steamers
ran into ths spectral thing. The pilot did
not see the ghostly craft until too late.
He says he saw a boat of white that looked
more like floating fleece than anything
else.
In the boat was a young girl in white
raiment, but there were blood clots on the
white dress. "She was rowing swiftly.
When the prow of the steamer struck this
frail craft, it cut through it like mist.
The ghostly occupant only laughed a sort
of uncanny laugh, a half scream, and when
we had passed I saw the spectral craft
dancing on the waves behind. I doubt if
an ordinary skiff could have lived in the
waves of our steamer, right under the pad
dles. " Thus spake the pilot, and he is a
man of few words and sterling integrity.
"Have you seen Lizzie Clark's boat?"
is now the question that goes from ono
mouth to another during the summer sea
son. In winter hunters have come into
Dallas shaking with fright and calling for
a dram to brace their nerves, saying that
while coming down from the islands above
on the Ice they had met Lizzie Clark walk
ing toward them. She always wears that
white dress, and the blood stains on the
neck are plain. The girl's eyes are staring
wide open, as if she were being suffocated.
Her spirit has been known to step out from
behind a clump of dead trees at the head
of the island and face passersby. She will
give them a terrible look and then scream
piteously. In an instant more the spirit
disappears.
Those who have seen the girl in her
spectral skiff say that sho seems to bo
rowing as if some murderer was after her.
She bends to the oars vigorously, and if a
boat appears in sight sho makes for it di
rectly, as if seeking protection. Ono man
says he rowed right through this spectral
boat and its occupant and says he felt a
sensation like passing through a heavy
mist. No effort Is made to "hunt down"
this ghost.
People feel that this girl was murdered,
and some think she cannot rest because
the murderers have never beeakbrought to
justice. p
Says He Never Kissed a Woman.
James W. Hasty, a 65-year-old bachelor,
was born within two miles of Owingsville,
Ky. Ho is a gunsmith and watch fixer
and has not been live miles away from
home in 25 years. He lives in his shop,
keeps house by himself with a dog and
two cats, and never saw a railroad train
or a county seat in 30 years. He never
kissed one of the fair sex in his life and
says he can hardly imagine how such fruit
would taste.

Bow to Remove Cinders From the Eye.
When traveling, always carry a tiny
boxtof i flaxseed for possible cinders. The
instant a foreign substance is felt in tho
eye throw the head back and drop two
or three. flaxseeds on the ball of the eye
and lift- the upper lid and draw it down
over them, so as to hold them in. There
is nos disagreeable sensation attached to
putting; the seed in, and the relief will
come-instantly. The moisture of the eye
dampens the seed, and it gives out a
mucous substance, which spreads over
the eye and covers tho grit. After awhile
the seeds will begin to work out and
will bring tho offending particle with
them.
