I'HE WAIl"UPOM,THIC-801lrU ' ' OPENED. ' :; It ia apparent now that we are to have in 1888, the same sort of cam paign we had m 1868. The war is over and peace has been in the land for twenty four years, and yet the Shermans,' Forakers, Blainee, In gallses, and the remainder -of the blowers and cat pet-knights are cry ing out at the top of their lungs "Oar voice is still for war." Fora ker, may have 89en a gray coat dur ing the war, bat neither of the three mighty men of valor, who are crying havoc and letting loose the dogs of war, ever saw a battle-field or smelt gunpowder daring "the unpleasant no38." Such marplots and Fariosos ought to be docked in a ! pond and put in the stocks after the old Eng lish custom. " -r Te Republican North is taking up press in the the cry of. the braggarts and windbags and types and ink are made to arouse the North. The campaign must be con ducted on the outrage mill and bloody shirt plan and all this because the Republicans have no issues to go upon, inev re aiarmea at tae great progress made west as to fair trade. in tne jn ortn They see that the prospect is that if a great econ omic question is really made the is sue that several States in the North west will go for the honest and tax reducing Cleveland. '.So they most beat up the dogs of war and try once more "to fire the Northern heart" by their misrepresentations and appeals to prejudice. The old war issues are reopened and the most blatant speakers and writers are imi tating that remorseless and inevita ble war-sounding Senator from Kan- sarby charging all sorts of ;; conspi racies upon the Southern whites who are diligently attending to are working not hatching their own business, hard at home and are discord or meditating ; "treasons, stratagems and spoils." jHesr this wild shtiek from the Chicago Tri bune, one of the big papers of the country: j . j . j ''. "The old Gang ia the Soutb, booted and, spurred and spurs bloody; ridesJbe-Dsuio-ciatic party,and. ,9iBlS8 'to have the di vine rignl to rule the country and to do all the murder and forgery necessary to go suc cessfully through the formalitiy of elec tions, - ! I'! I "And we have doughfaces in the North meaner if possible than the white niggers of the days of slavery and the fugitive slave law, who deride all honest and earn est men who speak for the seriousness of the war amendments and the rights of man as those who wave the bloody shirt and arc giving their consideration only to things that are no more. I j II "No more, indeed 1 Why, take the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mis sissippi and Louisiana. One-half the pop ulation of those States is black, and they will not be allowed to cast one affective vote for the next presidential candidate of the Republican party. They are bound in a despotism of assassination and fraud to be Democrats. The white people of those States vote for themselves and for the blacks, too." f i I This is the way the North is to be li - i aroused to do injustice to the South. The whites of the North must unite because the whites of j the South . unite. But listen at Mr. Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal. In the April number of the Forum he says: j -j I "The moment the North ceases to be sec tional the South will cease to be solid. But as long as there is a party of the North that urges an jnteference in the local affairs at the South which would be tolerated by no Northern community as applied to itself, there will be found at the South the first and highest of all motives for united resist ance, that of ineztingpisbable racehood." ; I The South ia kept solid by great law. of self-preservation, the North had ceased its lies, s the If an ders and persecutions twenty years ago, the "solid South" would have been long ago dissolved. The North ern Republican leaders have of course been malicious and mean, but they have been stupid beyond belief. They have tried all sorts of plans, but the sure one to disintegrate the -Sooth.1 They will never succeed as long as . they abuse and make war upon the Southern whites, in carrying a South- ! ern State for one of their candidates. So loog as the negroes are solid for the old, vicious, venal party that despoils and plagues and persecutes ' and afflicts, so long will the white men of the South stand together. , jThey would be worse than blind if they were under any plea to do oth erwise. The Stxb recognizes the great im portanoe of tax reduction and Tariff redaction, and it is pertinacious and insistent in this direction. Bat hear what we say: there is a far greater question than all eoonomio measures to every white North Carolinian; it m the guestiondf white supremacy in JNbrih Carolina. So far as our 'white people are concerned it is bet ter to lose President, Congress and ; all Federal officers than to lose oar State Government. Give as a capable, j honest Democratio Legislature and the Sate officials and we can ' get j.along Vn. with Radicalism domi- nant inlV'Eshington. jWhatever else j betide ns we most all! agree as one man to save dear old North Caro '! Una. ..' ! . .',! Bnt we can do more than this. - We can carry North Carolina, if we are all so minded, for Cleveland and Re form, - ', X We oopy one more nice eztraot from the Chioago Tribune, which ia even a milder Radical sheet than the Inter- Ocean : ' 4 v '. ), ,.; . ' ,;;.:r ; ' - w " "But no black man was peimitted be tween Pennsylvania and Mexico to give a vote that counted against the Democratic candidate. ! s , v "It is to this gigantic fraud, begun in fraud and wound up in forgery, that the country owes the calamity ofe Cleveland, th fmndnlent President, and Carlisle, who rwas not himself fairly elected, and presides over a House in which the margin oi we majotity that elected him was gained by fraud. - iv" "This state of things simply makes the war. with all its sacrifices, a hideous mock ery.", - - 1 ' .J'.;:-; v,': Democrats of North Carolina," you see to what kind of a feast yoto are invited by the bloody Republicans. . FOR THE FABIQEBS The war ended twenty-three years ago. The Tariff was made high for war purposes. Why . continue to pay war taxes long j after the war is over? To dig out of the earth and to oreate in other ways three to fonr hundred millions of dollars yearly to be expended in running the- Govern mental machine in a tremendous bur den and curse. The farmers especi ally are asked and expected to work hard to create this great burdensome tax. Protection, mark you, is a cun ningly devised scheme to keep ont foreign goods. That is the whole of it. It is a huge Chinese Wall ; built so high as to exclude all foreign com petition. The demand of Protection is simply to keep out all competing foreign manufactures. It is only this .and nothing more. Does it benefit the farmer to have this high tax this Chinese Wall system of exclusion?' How can it benefit him ? To say it does is really j absurd and untrue. The farmer's interest lies in selling where he can sell highest and jin buy ing where he can' buy : cheapest. That is the way tit works now among the States. Why should not the benignant and just principle be extended to the nations? It works' well among the several States.; Why would it not work well among the several nations, if all would adopt it. Why should not farmers be per mitted to trade with Canada or Mex ico or even England, if they prefer red to do so? They would be so al lowed if Protection did not raise its horrid front and say yon shall not you must pay an average of 46 per tax on 4, 300 articles or never use them, j Not only bo,' bat England, nor Mexico, nor Canada, shall trade with the Southern farmers unless they can come in by planking" down the tax of 46 per cent, average, but which finally comes out of the cojj- sumerJj How tbisnhTTarmef'ben efited ? Does he gel more for his products by the Tariff. : Does he get more in return for his money? The very questions are absurd and foolish. The tax makes him pay more for his purchases and he re ceives j not one cent more for his products, liow then can a great War Tariff benefit him? There was another great congrega tion at the Tabernacle last night. The Goepel plan of salvation was made so plain by Mr. Pearson that the most illiterate might understand it and the lost be saved. It was the plan of recovering grace so simplified as to make it clear and plain to all. It was preaching as we may conceive Peter and Paul and Stephen to have preached in simplicity and Vith consummate zeal and! in the demon stration of the Holy Spirit and with power, j It was in deed and in truth the glorious Gospel jof the I Son of God. The Brazen Serpent was the theme. : There were 54 professions in the inquiry room, j ' ! t Clara Morris,1 "that remarkable actrese," as Nym Crinkle, designates her, has had. a brilliant success in New York in her new play called "Renee de Moray." ( Nym Crinkle says in the World: 1 j "Those who saw the play last night saw a woman.wbo no longer has much' personal charm: who never knew how to dress her self, and has apparently outgrown all desire to look captivating; who makes no brilliant stage entrance; who is slightly haggard and worn, and who betrays in her carriage and in rer tones the effect of invalidism. But they also saw, if they saw the play oat, that woman rise to heights of pathos and sink to depths of woe that bad not been reached or sounded here before. h i It is said that Attorney General uariana Has bad several strong backers among the Senators for the oupremB vourc uencn. a ney are said to be Morgan jand Pugh, of Alabama; Coke and Reagan, of Texas; Colquit, of Georgia; Berry and Jones, of Arkansas; Harris and Bate, of Tennessee; George, of Mis sissippi, and Gibson and Eustis, of Louisiana. Mrs. Grant is a rich woman. She has an income that ranges abowe a hundred thousand a year, we would suppose. She has in pocket $450,000 from the sale of j her husband's book, a pension of $5,000 a year from the people, interest on $250,000 raised by George Jones and others, and an income from $100,000 raised by G. W. Childs. J .-: -. -;. Dr. H. E. Shepherd has been invi ted to attend the National Educa tional Association of ( San Francisoo. He has engagements to leotnre be fore the Teachers' Association at Os wego during the next summer, and also before the Teachers' Association at Asheville, N.'C. Dr. SheDherd ia a distinguished son " of North ; Car olina. . ' ;.- . :-t . TABKHNAChE. Vev. M r. ; PrioB)i 4ddrM ia tbe Baalnree Men-Hli Stratsa ' The Tabernacle presented an un usual sight yesterday " morning. ;The two middle tiers of . seats were Te eerved f Or gentlemen and they were filled, while the remaining seats were occupied by ladies. ' - . The services were opened by sing ing .the : hymn : "Lord I care not for richea,' ' followed by prayer'4y Mr. Pearson, j He ' then announced his text Mat - Ti : 19, 20, 21. Especially the words "Lay not np treasure for yourselves."- There are, he said,: two mistaken 'ideas among - men.: First, that there is virtue in poverty, and second, that there is sin In wealth. Abraham, the father of the Faithful, and Job, were rich men. There is danger in! riches it is hard to be rich and spiritual. ) Some : people think they must have all religion and no business; others all business and no religion.. These are both errors. God says "not j slothful in business," , and at the same time "fervent in spirit." Business and religion must be united. Carry your r business into your re- igion and your religion into your business; ; Show the , world you . can glorify God in your religion and busi ness. The business man who does this wields a i powerful influence. The earth is the .-Lord's," and our talents, wnetner to preacn or make money, are the Lord's, and we owe it to Him to use .them "for His glory. The preacher cannot push God's work without money. Before the ceremonial law was given Abra ham instituted the rule of giving one tenth to the Lord, and we ought still to observe it. If God's people would do this there would be no necessity for bazaars, festivals, etc., to raise money for religious purposes. He practices; what he preaches and; is blessed in it. ; "Why not lay up treasure here?" Let God's Word answer. ' 1. Because they are very liable to make yori forgeti God Luke xli: 19 to 21: This man was not a bad man; he was a first class business man, but the devil got: him so occupied making money that he forgot to pray or pre pare to meet God. So, any man who is laying up riches for himself alone. 2. Because they are liable to make you reject God Matt, xix: 21. When the issue is made, when we must de cide between riches and God, if we love the gold most it costs us our souls. A rich man is a popular man; all avenues of pleasure are open to him, and i when you talk to him of self-denial, which is one of the first principles j of Christianity, he wont listen to you. All pastors say rich men are hardest to reacE Their hearts are j surfeited with the things of this world. . I 1 ' .-i i 3. They phoke God's word. Matt. xiii: 22. Mr. Pearson said he had a high regard for the business men of Wilmington; but mustspeak plainly to them. I "Yo'u. who .are church members--who are members of cor- JiSfations that make their employes work on Sunday, are choking God's word. Christian men must lead in this matter. Don'jt rent your houses for liquor saloons and houses of ill fame; better starve than make your meat and bread by dishonoring God " 4. They endanger Heaven. Matt. xix: 23. It is no sin to be rich; but riches tend to supplant God, and there is the danger. " 5. They often drown men in perdi tion 1st Tim. vi: 9 and 10. Tour State, he said, is now sitting in cha grin over, two men who would be rich, and have pierced themselves through withtmany sorrows. - Young men, resolve "I'll make an honest living by honest methods, so help me God." j 6. They fade, away James Ml. As the sun melts the snow, so riches fade. Men roll up bank accounts as boys roll up snow balls, bnt the snn of Righteousness will melt them some day. Many families who some years ago were rich, are now among the poorest. It is a mistake to lay up riches for children. Teach your boys economy, business principles, cour age and self-reliance, and they will make a living. A man who has made no money don't know how to keep it. A boy who has a good business edu cation will make money, and one who has not does hot know how to man age a fortune left to him. Teach your girls what a true man is with heart, and soul, and hieh inteeritv and teach them the worth of such an one as a nuaoana, though he be a poor man. Teach them common sense in stead of making butterflies of them. Many a man of low principles, with fair -exterior, is looking for a girl pos sessed of a fortune, and she finds all too late that life is wrecked. 7. They satisfy not Eccl. iii: 10 to 13. Riches cannot satisfy heart. conscience or our physical nature. y anaerouc wisnea ne could eat one square meal," and sleep one night. Mrs. A T. Stewart had a $7,000 cook, but her diet was milk and bread. w ny compromise neaven for such a thing? !!i 8. They profit not in .the day of wrath. Prov. ii: 14 If you bend all your energies here to the accumula tion of wealth, what can it profit yon in the day of "judgment? You must die; therefore, let your treasure pre cede you. j t ' j ; ::- ,.- - 9. They; rust and canker. James vi: 1 to 3. Canker and rust indicate want of use. ii Let the outflow be in proportion to the income. God gives us ample opportunity to use it The way you have laid it up will make it rust. If you employ labor, pay the worth of it. God will avenge the oppression that gives a poor woman thirty cents per dozen for making shirts. And . to the ladies "Your garments are moth eaten," applies to you. You must have a new dress for every ball, and j oppress the' poor dressmaker who makes It; several new dresses a season, and bonnets to match, until they accumulate and are mota. eaten. : use your money more for God's glory and less for self- indulgence. ' 10. "Thou; oh ? man of God! flee these things." 1st Tim. vi: 11. He then asked those who intended. by God's help to do this, to rise to their feet, jand almost, if not quite au, m tne vast audience did so. It was a scene long to be remembered. EVENING SERVICE. v ' At 7.80 p. m. the preliminary exer cises were opened by Rev. D. H. Tut tie, who announced; hymn -No.: 48 "Saviour more - than life to me.". Prayer was offered by . Rev Mr. Phil lips, of Fayetteville, N, C. " The con gregation sang two stanzas of hymn. No. 22 "Iyill ning of my Redeemer." taken for inci dental expenses, and requests for prayer were read. Long before the appointed hour the house was filled to overflowing. As usual, Mr. Pearson .came : on - the platform at the moment appointed and" made J some announcements: That at 11 a. m. to-day he would give a Bible reading on pure religion, etc. He then offered one of those simple, earnest, child-like prayers for which he is noted, and announced for his text: St. John, 3d chapter, 14th and 15th verses "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up," In discussing this subject he said, I'll give three facts I am a stickler for facts:" '. f V: 1st fact: The Israelites were bitten with a fiery serpent. Num. 2it6. The parallel factf Mankind: bitten by that old serpent, the devil. Gen. 8:13. Is it a fact that mankink inhe rits a sinful nature from Adam and Eve? Gen. 6.-5. Was this also true after the flood ? ' Yes. ' See Isaiifb. 5:6; Jer. 9:17Iathis doctrine taught in the New Testament ? I answer yes. 1 See' Matt 15:19. Then, dear friends, you must accept the doctrine of human depravity. 'Tis aelf-evi-dent truth. The columns of our daily papers teach us this doctrine when they tell us of forgeries, mur ders, etc. ' - Second great fact: That the brazen serpent lifted : up in the wilderness was the remedy for all those bitten by the fiery serpent They hadonly to accept God's provision for their cure. : - ' Second great parallel fact: .That Jesus Christ was lifted up on the cross as God's remedy for sin John iii: 14 to 16, Aotffiv: 12, 1st Cor. iii: 11. The remedy 1b all sufficient of and by it self, i The sinner need add nothing to it only accept Christ Every man, from Abel down to this day, who has accepted Christ has been saved; those who have rejected Christ have been lost . i - Third .fact : That a look at that brazen serpent was the condition of a cure Num. xxi: 9. The third parallel fact is that a took at Jesus as the crucified one is the condition of Sal vation Gal. iii: 26; Rom. iv: 5; Acts viii: 28. 89. His interpretation and applica tion of these taxts was so clear, so simple, so plain, that a child could have grasped his every thought Mr. Pearson closed with the question, "will yot look to Jesus to-night 1" : In the inquiry room, there was great interest and fifty-two professed conversion. ; ; Idortaarv Statistic. The report of Dr. F. W. Potter, city physician and superintendent of health, submitted to the Board of Al dermen at their last meeting, gives the total number of deaths occurring in the city for the year ending March 31st, 1888, as 443-eolored 312, and white 131. The deaths each month were: April 43, May 80, June S3, July 41, Au gust 34, September 5-1; October 33, No vember 37, December 34, January 31, February 36, March 86. The Doctor estimates the population at 23,000 9,000 whites and 14,000 colored and gives the death rate on this estimate at 19.26 per thousand: or, for the whites 1455; colored, 21. 68. ' During the year,15 white and 25 col ored persons died of malarial diseases; 88 colored and ten whites from con sumption, and eight colored persons died ! of pneumonia. There were 14 deaths from ' cholera infantum; 12 deaths from Bright's disease; eight deaths from old age two white and six colored; and eight deaths from heart disease. As compared with any previous year the showing is consid ered favorable. Dr. Pot ter says that the dumping of waste paper, tin scraps, old shoes shavings and ether kinds of trash in tne city limits, looks bad, and many citizens complan; and believe that the constant piling up of such material begets sickness, and some pnyslcians are of tne same opinion. Tb mat Gaard Eaeasnpaacnw The Charlotte Observertln Bpeaking of the encampment to be held at "Wrightsville this summer, says: It is highly crratifyinz to the friends of our citizen soldiery- to learn that tne approacning encampment bids fair to be one of the biggest affairs ever neld in this State. Those in charge of the matter are doing all that can be done to render the en campment not only instructing but pleasant as welL The railroads cen tering at Wilmington will give re duced rates during the. encampment and Wilmington will put on her holi day attire for the occasion. It will be a i big thing for all concerned, whether going as citizen or soldier. The well kbown hospitality of the Wilmington people is a sufficient guarantee that they will cooperate with the military Authorities in mak ing the brave soldier boys comfort able. : Having seen some service at and around the city by the sea, this local proposes, Providence . and the weather permitting:, to make the "grand rounds" at least once during the encampment and run the block ade a few times just for' the sake of old times. . - Visitor la tbe City. - Thirty-two ladies and gentlemen came down from Fayetteville on the steamer Murchison to attend the ser vices at the Tabernacle. They went back on the steamer last night after the close of the evening meetinz. The steamer Delta from Clear Run, Samp son county, Drougnt seven passengers, and twelve came up from South port on the Louise. Besides these a large number of persons came in on the afternoon train from the south, from stations on the W., C. & A R. R. All to attend the Pearson meetings. - A subscriber (a lawyer) on the line of the Carolina Central Railroad writes uus: "in editorial manage ment the Stab Is equal to any paper in the country. As a newspaper it is the best in North Carolina, and in the matter of politics it is the most reliable oi them all." Oar field editor says the "cor rect caper" for the sportsman now is to fill the barrels of '. his gun with melted tallow and put in a dry place, there to remain until October 1st the opening oi tne next snooting season.'

The negro's body was then carried about a quarter of a mile from the place where he was killed, and left by the roadside and a pistol belonging to the dead negro placed in his hand, to create the im pression that the man had com mitted suicide.

(an increase of 20-100) and on sugars above 20 it is placed at 55.SU (an increase of 80-100) The provision that no drawback, of duty shall be allowed or paid on any' sugar exported from the United States was stricken from the bill.

April 4 There was a general kttiog down in . prices of . grain to-day. The leading cause was the partial settle ment of the railroad troubles. The block ade, by shutting off receipts, threatened trouble in filling future contracts on tbe floor and by interfering with commerce and collections caused a tight feeling for money. The situation this morning being more hopeful, the result -was lower prices and easier money. Provisions opened lower but developed considerable strength later. At the very outset sales of wheat and corn for May were fully - )c under the closing prices on Monday. From these points there were slight rallies on buying by those who wished to . bull the market and sell. The result was a decline from opening prices of about c in both wheat and corn before noon, which left the market at 12 o'clock lc lower than 48hours before; in both pita. There was no 'sensational sell ing but a gradual sinking of valuee under liberal offers. I J, Wheat opened at 76fcfor May, sold at 76c and then sank gradually.

A rally of ia in the after noon followed, putting the closing price at Provision operators wee mostly bearish at tne opening, me biocks oi tne prcauct, given out yesterday, were disappointing to a majority or traders. The weakness in grain also tended to encourage selling bv strong parlies, and during the early trading the lowest prices of the day were reached. being a decline from Monday's close bf 174 cents on pork, 5 cents on lard and 7$ cents on snort rins-. The break brought in a lib eral number of buyers: who absorbed offer ings so that pork not only fully recovered, but showed a net advance of 10 cents. Lard neither gained nor lost, and short ribs showed a decline of 2 cents. Five cents of tne aavance in pora was lost, but lard and short ribs were unchanged.
