NORTHERN THREATS AND L.OIJIS-
I I AN A ELKCTION. j
There is one portion of the North
em people that is generally fairj and
kind towards the South. Bnt it is not
the Republican party that can be ao
cased of this amiable virtue. The
Star recently referred to the hoist
ing of the black nag by the Sherman
Foraker Ingalls pack. There j are
other demagogues in the Republican
party but little less blatant and furi
ous. Frye, Hoar, Mason and
others in and out of Congress
are of the bloody-shirt tooters and
flappers. The response of Senator
Eustis, to which we recently referred
and from which we copied', to the ti
rade ofj Ingalls, is not permitted to
go - unchallenged by the hyenas of
the press and by the demagogues.
The1 South likes the Louisianian's
clear note of defence and Bays well
done. Bat the Radicals are ready
to explode with impotent rage.
Ourj jeople do not really know
perhaps to what extremes the Radi
cal press in the North goes in its
denunciation of the South and in its
expressions of disgust and hatred and
vile; ' purposes of intimidation and
intermeddling! It is surely the duty
of the Southern press to keep their
readers informed of the .bitterness
andj implacable hostility of j the
Northern Republicans to our peo
Plej . I'.'- I'
In the performance of j this duty
we Reproduce a part of an editorial
from a leading New England Repub
lican organ. The Rutland (Vermont)
Herald says : j
"flow Jong are the loyal people of this
country going to submit to these indigni
ties and insults? Well may we exciaim. as
Cicero exclaimed when Catiline stalked
from his hostile camp into the Roman Ben
ate, I'How long, O Catiline, wilt thou abuse
. our patience I !
"It was, not enough for the men who
dipped their hands to the elbows in their
brothers' blood in 8 mad. attempt to break
this Union and, found a government upon
human slavery, to be taken back upon a
plane of equal citizenship with those who
were loyal at anv sacrifice, but thnv mmi
set up a government ot force, fraud and
usurpation, not only in those States, but
through and by means of them In the Union
itself, and now since that control begins to
be imperilled by the rising indignation of
the people, they threaten dire disaster and
coolly inform the people of the United
States that if they are no longer permitted
to poison our spring they will cut our
throats. j
"It is a braggart threat, but there is not
a shadow of doubt of their purpose to main
tain their usurpation by blood so long as
they have no power to contend with but
the poor, unprotected and easily intimi
dated Republicans of the South. It
is time the brigand politicians of the South
be given to understand that the funda
mental law of the land must be obeyed. If
it takes fighting to do this, we must fight."
Now what is all this racket this
furious outburst) about? What caused
it? Simply because a Senator from
Louisiana stood up for his abused
and maligned people and spoke words
of rebuke to the insolent and evil
minded Senator from Kansas.
Ingalls charged that the recent
election in Louisiana was carried by
fraud. Senator Eustis , denied, and
proved. Now let ns turn to Senator
Gibson's calm reply for a, moment.
He showed why it was that the peo
ple of all oolors and conditions in
Louisiana
v .
could no

ra5Z4
mouth, the Republican candidate
On j the 1st of January 1866, the
State of Louisiana owed $1,S00,
000 a million and a half dollars,
wirmouth was made Governor. In
1873, the State debt was 150,000,000
fifty million dollars. This debt
was contracted in four years upon a
total assessed value of bat $200,000,
006. What Louisianian could want
anv more of Warmouth and his
gang? So much for the financial
question. . .j
Now as to the recent election. If
seems that Ingalls made a great fuss
over the vote in Bossier parish.
Mr.
uibson says:
.in
ITU a . .
i iiio reinHLT&uon was raton rnnv vaum
ago, and it was again taken but a few days
before the recent election. The registra
tion of Bossier parish is 4,635 as taken be
fore the recent election, and the vote in
that parish does not equal by any means
the registration. So, In Tensas parish the
registration to which the Senator referred
shows 5,160. ; There are the figures with
respect to these two parishes, to which the
Senator referred, and . If he will look fur
ther, as he can not by possibility have ac
curate information at this time about the
registration and election in Louisiana. I
desire to call his attention to what the vote
of Kansas was in 1884. The Vote of Kan.
sas was 100 per cent, of its population
The total , vote of Kansas was 265,843
while the males twenty-one years of see
and over in 1880 were 265,714, showing
that the vote of Kansas at that time actually
exceeded the total number of males in that
State over twenty-one years of age.
'In the recent election in Louisiana there
has been cast only 80 per cent, of the males
over twenty-one years of age, whereas In
many States of the Union, the American
Almanac, of which our Librarian, Mr.
Bporford, is the author, shows that it is
quite usual in the elections that 100 per
cent, as in Kansas, should be cast, 90 per
oent; as in Iowa, 99 per cent, aa in In
diana, 104 per cent, aa in Nebraska, 94 per
cent as in Ohio; whereas in the recent
election In Louisiana the total vote is only
80 per cent, of the males over twenty-one
years of age in that State." j
It is well enough to expose the
varlets and show howj groundless,
how mean, how nnjaBt are their
charges and threats. j !

SIB. CARLISLE AND PROTECTION.
i . i i i
Yon cannot judge of a speech
from, a synopsis however connected
and dear. The speech of Speaker
Carlisle on the Tariff was no doubt
able, thoughtful, lucid. He is a
strong, well disciplined, well inform
ed, well appointed man?-a politician
of the higher! type, and a political
economist of the only school to whioh
any free-born man ought to ever be
long. His speech was directtd main
ly, we suppose, to the consideration
of Protection in so far as it affected
the farmers! of our country. ( He
asked a question that every farmer
should consider intelligently. That
means with proper information and
entire candor. He asked:
"Are the farmers of the North and the
planters of the South to abandon their great
wheat and cotton fields and undertake the
cultivation of crops not suited to their soil
and their climates, in order that these gen
tleman miT hn an nnnnrtnnltv tn miVo
experiments to nee whether a home market
1 J 1. 1 a?
can oemau. Dy legislation?
J They would never- grow wheat o
plant cotton again if they were to
wait for the fulfilment of Republican
promises and the arrival of that
"good time"j always "ooming" jwith
Protection speakers, when the home
market shall, be equal to home pro
duction, and. therefore, all the pro
ducts of the country shall find a
ready market in the Union. This is
the sort of prophetic palaver that Mo
nopoly indulges in that farmers may
be fooled and opposition quieted.
But Mr. Carlisle is an economist of
another school.! He has learned! po
litical science from a oareful study of
the American system and by an ex
ination of the great writers on polit
ical economy in the past Adam
Smith, David Ricardo and others.
Here is what the Democratic Speaker
says:
Therefore.
in place of restricting
his market, he
wants it extended and en
larged, so that his products which cannot
be consumed here can find a market amone
nn nnle eiaewherfl. What thn Amarimin
f firmer wants ia n hnmn market In whinh hr
can purchase his supplies as cheao as his
competitors. That is what the American
farmer wants. We want, gentlemen, not
only the home market, but the markets of
all the world for the variety of products of

barriers which annoy our industries, so
that this countrv mav take its nlace sinner.
side of the great commercial centres of the
world, and become rich and powerful as no
other country has been before."
There is a valuable contribution to
the year's discussion in that part of
the speech where New England
prophecies and realization are given.
The Protection all-grabbers in 1846
were load and prophetic as to the aw
ful damage that would be visited
upon the country if the Walker
Tariff was to go into operation. Says
Mr. Carlisle : j
"Gentlemen from New England predicted
in 1846 that the duties fixed by the law of'
that date would ruin their textile industries.
In 1857 all of the New England members
voted for a still further reduction of 20
per cent, from what they had called the
ruinously low tariff of 1816. In the free
trade period, as the Republicans called the
decade from 1850 to 1860, the wool manu
factured product increased 46 per cent,
and wages 87 per cent Applause. The
increased product in New England was 62
per cent. In hosiery the product increased
42 per cent. In cotton the product in New
England increased 71 per cent, i In boots
and shoes, upon, which the duty bad been
reduced 16 per cent., the increase in New
England was 83 per cent. ; the product in
1860, in New England, was more than the
entire product "of the Union in 1850.
This was what the Republicans from New
England had seen under a low tariff,
j It only took eleven years to con
vince New England that its prophecy
of impending woe was false and to
cause it ,to vote through its
members of the Congressor a farther
reduction, of twenty per cent. Mr.
Carlisle thinks that before eleven
years; New England
will demand a
greater reduction than tbfiallBllSn& -v9-tEm& representrl
madebSem"ccratic Tariff. fSS?;67
-jf-- . ' ' I -Liodge of If orth Carolina, made aver

- jfor Cox pats the reduction at 7 per
cent. a mere trifle. It is more than
this, we think. ! j The average now of
the huge War Tariff is 47 per cent.
We have understood that the bill
would reduce the Tariff to 36 per
cent which is enormous still and
ii actuatly 16 per cent, higher than
Henry Clay's famous Tariff.
It is hard to be patient with speak
ers and writers in favor of Protec
tion in view of the facts. Mr. CarJ
lisle says that the Tariff tax to-dayl
is positively 2 times higher than it
:was thirty-one years ago, when Mr.
Morrill, after whom the War Tariff
was named, said it was sufficient, f

so popular with Randall and Radi-
cals generally, that the necessaries
!are the proper hings to be taxed and
tne luxuries are the propei things to
be favored. He said : j-'
! 'In view of the fact that internal revenue
taxes remained only on luxuries, it was but
fair that any further reduction of taxation
should be made upon necessities. But. re
cognizing the difference of opinion upon
that subject, the committee had dealt with
both subjects." j t
That is,to placate the few members
who were vociferous for the abolition
of the tobaoco tax and for free apple-l
jack, the party in the House made J
compromise in the bill by consider-l
ing both plans of redaction. But!

both the Secretaries of the TreasurJ
under him: like the naru'nat.

twelve speeches that may be oharaJ.
itemed as thorough and. conspicu
ously able. Some few were eloquent,
some were witty, Bome were shallow
ana thin and unimportant ' The Re'
publicans have shown decided ability
and have striven hard to make the
worse cause appear the better cause.
We think it may be1 safely said that
the advantage in the debate has been
on the side of. the Democrats. There
are seven or eight Democratio
speeches that would make a valuable
volume ii puoiisnea together.
If the bill is defeated or emascula
ted of its chief merit the responsibil
ity will rest; upon the Republican
party. The campaign muse turn
upon the Tariff. The question of
taxation is perennial! and paramount.
A free people must preserve their
liberties. There is no real freedom
with Protestion as j the eternal sys
tem to grind and oppress.
CARLISLE'S GREAT SPEECH.
We have read a jmore elaborate
report of Speaker Carlisle's speeoh
than the abstract furnished the Stab.
It was just as we anticipated able,
deaf, statesmanlike. I It is a great
speech. It is not eloquent or rhetor i
al, bat it is in excellent style. The
language is precisely adapted to the
oharacter of the thought. It is a
masterly survey of : the one great.
primal, fundamental question of this
time. It is an invincible and power
ful argument for the Democratio
measure of reform now pending. It
is a calm examination of the leading
points that have entered into the
discussion. It is the speech of the
whole great discussion by reason of
its statesman like ability and wis
dom and knowledge. It shows a
complete mastery of a great ques
tion, and ; it is so clear as all may
easily .understand and so forceful
that all candid 6eekers may easily
believe. ' ,
We in no way exaggerate its ex
cellence. It ia not a splendid ora
tion or a cat and dried piece of clas
sical rhetoric. It is a plain speech
a lucid speech a forceful speech
a comprehensive speech, the whole
conveyed in idiomatic and simple and
yet fcholarly 'English. That speech
will never be answered. It may be
talked and written at and about, but
it will not be answered. To appre
ciate us nign j excellence you mnst
read it as he spoke it. We find the
synopsis left out some very impor
tant pointB when essaying to give
them, and made him say some things
he did not say . i We copy a part of
tho corrected report -i that brings out
a point he made differently from the
report . in the Stab. He said in
showing that the reduction of the
revenue was a necessity:
It appears from the last official state
ment that on the 1st dsv nt thn nn..

' Yesterday, at the age of 20 years
and 8 months, George Winton Hard
wioke, the last child of George W.
and Mary Charlotte Hardwicke,
passed away from earth. "
Four months ago! George was taken
ill and obliged to give up his work
as he -thought temporarily. After
two or three week's sickness with
malarial fever, he was able to be
about again, and j to devote part of
his time to his duties las book-keeper
for the.W.U.Telegraph Co.in this oity.
His ambition was greater than his
physical strength, land Boon he found
himeelf in a -condition of decline.
From that time on he1 has been walk
ing in the ,lvalley of the shadow."
His steps have been constantly to
ward the "dark river In the past
three monthsihe had taken but little
out-of-door recreation; once or twice
he rode out a short time. His mother
nursed him tenderly during his illness
until at last she sank under the bur
den and discouragement of his
condition. Just one! week ago she
passed to the other! shore. George
accepted this dispensation of Provi
dence with Christian1 fortitude and
unflinching faith. Though he said
little, silent grief was affecting him,
and at last he, too. succumbed. Al
though hopeful of recovery to the
very last, he made due preparation
for whatever might come, and his
happy death was a signal triumph of
his faith.
George was born in ; Lynchburg,
Va. His father brought Jiis family, a
wife and four strong and healthy chil
dren, to Wilmington twelve years ago
when he came to take an important
position in the office of the Morning
Stab. In that brief period those
children .had reached maturity and
have gone down ko the grave; the
wife, too,. is gone, and the bereaved
father stands solitary and alone, like
some venerable landmark shaken by
the storms of life, j
Daring this time of trouble kind
neighbors and friends have done all
in their power to relieve and 'care for
the sick, and to bear some comfort
to the sorrowing father in his

a case that appeals so strongly to hu
man sympathy. Truly did the sor
rowing father sayJ "Itjseems as if the
Angel of Devastation were brooding
over my house." t
Every heart in this community
must be touched by so sad a story.
We are sure thajt with ns all of his
fellow citizens tender heartfelt sym

May He lift up the light of his coun

true. He had never spoken or written a

would throw doubt unon the headahin nf
Adam, without regard to the manner
in which or of which God formed his
body. He quoted from his writings regard

about apes and monkeys, aa had bo often
been asserted. He heUsvett AAm

the General Aasemblv had nothing tn An

if they do not, then the case must end. The
law or gravitation lniorms us that iron in
water will sink, and vet the Bible said in
one rjlace that "iron did swim " That, in
stance did not make the law of gravitation
inconsistent witn tne scriptures. He then
quoted Scripture as to the formation of the
sun. moon and stars. - and of the four
corners of the earth. Did any suppose the
eann to oe a rectangular formation. It had
been taught the sun and moon move around
the earth, but science had done away with
that idea, and it was now no longer
thought of. As to man, they were
told that "out of the ground God
formed every living thing," and further on

That could not have been but an indirect
result. The chair was a very sore point
witn mm. ae neia tne cnair wnen tne
Church cried out against him. Dr. Adams
denounced the statement of Dr. Woodrow
that he was willing he should preach with
his views if he would surrender his pro
fessorship, as entirely the opposite of what
ue uiu oay, anu cauea upon the Assembly
to 1udgo between them.
The Assembly here took a recess until
three o clock. '
After the recess Dr. Adams continued.
He said he had; no purpose to serve in the
removal of Prof. Woodrow. He had no
axe to grind no friend whom he wished to
have the place.! When he was before
synod of ueorgia he said that the advocate
of these views must not be allowed to use
them in the school of the Church. Out of
the school of the Church he had nothing to
ao witn me views oi Ut. WOOdrow, but as
a nreacher he had nn rlcht tn nvAmnlrvnln
such views while under the shadow of
Vnurcn.
He then called attention to the issues be
fore the court, j Dr. Woodrow was charged
with advancing views contrary to the
standards of the Church. The Presbytery
sustained him, and the Synod sustained the
action of the Presbytery. The question to
be decided is, shall the Synod be sustained.
Dr. Woodrow denied, and his friends de
nied, that he ever tarnrht evolution in tho
school, but whether he taught it or not was
immaterial, in nis aaaress to the alumni
he taught it, and in his writings he taught
it; and before this General Assembly ad
vocated and taught it. Much, he said,
was not relevant to the case and there was
no need to dnnv it Thn
claimed that in the Bible he finds nothing

few bodies were formed out of which all
other things in vegetetable and animal life
were formed. We take what he says just
as he states it, to be his belief, and'no one
attributes to him deism or atheism. Evol

ana uoa put a soul into him and he be
came Adam. That is the theory of Evolu
tion, i God did not interfere until all these
changes had been passed. This is asserted
because the Bible does not contradict
it and because God's Word gives
no testimony on the aublect. Thin
is the theory advanced by Dr. Wood-
row. He believed that man was as the
horse, born from an animal sncoatrv tn
another form, because he said the Bible
aid not contradict it. The Church was a
conservator of the truth, and it ia now ask
ed to engraft upon itself this theory. He
wouia sacrifice everything to protect the
Church from misfortune. He had nn
doubt in reply to hia rem ar Ira
changes will be running on the terms,
"maybe" and "probably are," which men
used in advancing the theory of evolution,
because the Scriptures are silent on the
matter. He wanted; to bring order out of
confusion, so that the church will re
turn I to ita concord and thin matt-r

termine whether evolution is true or false.
They were to determine on the creation of

about the body of Adam, and his belief is

Philadelphia, May 23. The most in
teresting episode of the Presbyterian As
sembly this far, occurred this afternoon
when a reception tendered the Commission
ers of the two General Assemblies North
and 8outh by Mr. and Mrs. Wistar Mor
ris, was held at their residence at Over
brook, near this city. President and Mrs.
Cleveland were guests of honor, and this
fact caused every member of the Assembly
to brave the disagreable weather and board
the special train that started for O verbrook,
shortly before 3 o'clock this afternnon.
The members of the Southern Assembly,
more than 200 in number, arrived about an
hour later. At the station they were met
by Rev. Dr. Henry O. Morecock, Rev. Dr.
Macintosh, District Attorney Geo. S.
Graham and! John Wannamaker of this
city.! I hey were driven to Mr. Morris'
house, nearly a mile distant, and when
nearing the place were met by the Mod

and other officers of the Northern Assem
