A PLEA FOB WOMAN'S EQUALITF.
j Rev. Matt. H. Moore, in a commu
nication in the Statesville Christian
Advocate, says this :
I "The old idea that men are superior to
women in strengta or intellect baa long ago
oeen expiouea. x was taiKing wun a mend,
a few weeks ago, who graduated at the
University of Michigan. There were over
one thousand students at the school boys

the recitation rooms the girls led the boys.

of memorv. oercentinn. intnitinn. nmm is
superior to man; in the power to apply ac
quired Knowledge in me various details of
, practical life she is his inferior." i .
This is true, we think, in the main.
The girls have better, more reepon
eive memories than the boys. They
'are apt to have more taste and keen
; er intuitions. A woman's opinion?,
'delivered off-hand, are often better
' than man's labored reflentinnn Her
j intuitive judgment is generally1 a safe
j guide. But you must not always

: arrived at. We lately wrote in ad

They are the cream of the race, the
salt of the earth. That is when they
are good and sweetand Christianlike.
Woman has grace of "mind, delicacy
of sentiment, chastity of imagina
tion. Often women are fine mathe
maticians and learn the sciences with
startling ease. . j
Bat is it a fact that women are not
inferior to men in "strength 'of in
tellect?" What will a survey of liU
erature show? Who are the great
philosophers of the world?. Who are
the great lawyers of the world? Who
are the great statesmen of the world?
Who are the great thinkers of the
world? Who are the great poets of
the world? Who are the great paint

ARNOLD ON LEK AND GRANT.
General Lord Wolseley made him-
'stlf very obnoxious to the North by
his praiee of Robert E. Lee, and
placing him far above Grant or any
Northern soldier.! CoL Freemantle,
of the celebrated Coldstream Guards
(British) in his "Three Months in the
Confederacy, alno gave JL.ee the
first t.l ict?. Toe able author of the
"Battle of Doi'king," Colj Chesney,
of the binglish army, said Lee was
one of the three great soldiers of the
English speaking race Marlborough,
Wellington, Lee.-And now Matthew
Arnold, one of the great literary
forces of Great Britain and the
j . i , . .
greatest of her oritics, offends by his
Alii Tl 1 n ff tnA Aa 41W1 n nKI n Haw

federate. Mr. Arnold was in
fall
sympathy with the South, we
are
glad to learn, from so bitter a South
hater as the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
That paper says
"No modern man
of letters was more
tmical of thn highest nnint nttninahlo ho
English culture than Matthew Arnold. A
poet of no mean ability, he excelled in the
art of criticism. Broad in his education.
he was insular in his tastes. The. tape line

. He woald have shown bat little in
sight aa a critic if he had not so es
teemea iiee. it . juee bad been in
command of an army of the num
bers of Grant, and! Grant had been
in . command of a small force like
Lee there would have been bat one
battle, ind then 'Washington, New
York and the other cities would have
fallen easily before the invincible
Confederates. Grant is really the
most overrated man of the war.
" i
If
you would see how poor a general
he could be read his Shiloh and
Vickaburg performances; his assault
upon Lee at Second Manassas, land
his management in some of
ihis at-
tempts around Petersburg.
f !
But Matthew Arnold is more than
considerate and appreciative of Grant
after all. He must bestow upon him
more praise than he deserves when
the Inter Ocean writes of him as
follows:
"But with all hia nrptnriiran Mr Arnnl.l
loruni do mo wDoie a iair ana just opinion
of the man whose personality he finds so
interesting, and this fact may be, accepted

Catholio Bishop, Rt. Rev. Dr. Leo
Haid, to the vicarate of North Caro
lina. This event will take place on
July 15th. i
Cardinal Gibbons was formerly the
Vicar Apostolic .of North Carolina,
and a citizen of Wilmlnarton. For
yers the eminent prelate endeared
himself to the good people of Wil
mington and to the State at large by
his pure character, by his Christian
charity, his winning manners and
highwrders of talent. This former
citizen and Christian minister of Wil
mington ascended to his present ex
alted position by the way of his tal
ents, sterling business qualities and
many virtues. He was transferred to
the diocese of Richmond,! Va.; af
terwards ! promoted .to ' the See
of Baltimore, as its Archbishop,
and chosen President of the

which numbers at present about feix-ty-six
members, and they are of

Gibbons is a member of this collece
and eligible to the Papal chair and to
ne position of Governor of two hun
dred and twenty-five millions of Cath
olic Christians. His age is about fifty-
four years.! Pope Leo XIII. holds him
in high esteem.
Cardinal Gibbons' speech in Rome
on the United States on the politi

the people here, its laws and constitu

honor as an American citizen. The
courts jbf Europe could not but ad

8 Teleeraph to the Xoratnt; Star.r
Sr. Louis, Juno 5. At 12.85 the vastas-
semDiage was suencea oy a stroke from tbe
gavel of Chairman Barnum, and the Dem
ocratic Convention of 1888 was formally in
session. The Chairman introduced Bishop
J. O. Gran berry, of St. Louis, who opened
the proceedings with prayer.
The Chair then stated, that acting under
authority conferred upon him by the Na
tional Democratic Committee, he would
present to the Convention the names of per
sons .selected by the committee to preside
over and officer the temporary organization
of the Convention. As the secretary read
tbe name of S. M. White, of California, as
temporary chairman, the Convention
greeted it with cheers, as 'it also greeted the
name of F. O. Prince, of Massachusetts, as
secretary.
The reading of the list of officers having
been completed, the choice of the commit
tee was ratified by the unanimous vote of
the Convention.
The Chair appointed A. V. Gorman of
Maryland, C. S. Bryce of Ohio, and F. W.
Dawson of South Carolina, as a committee
to conduct Mr. White to the platform.
Having taken the Chair the new pre
siding officer was greeted with another
round of applause and cheers. Mr. White
then addressed the Convention. Although
Mr. White had requested, by way of pre
face, that during the delivery of hia. speech
the Convention should preserve silence, he
was frequently interrupted by applause,
and once or twice was compelled to stop,
fie spoke distinctly, and could be heard all
over the hall. When he mentioned tbe
name of President Cleveland, the Conven
tion arose to its feet and with waving hats
and fluttering handkerchiefs cheered for
several seconds. The mention of tariff
reform was also cheered, and at the close
of his address the speaker was generously
applauded. Curiously enough, references
in the speech to Mr-Tilden failed to arouse
any marked enthusiasm, and none of the
New York delegation applauded the men
tion of that once inspiring name.
6:80 P. M. The Committee on Reso
lutions elected Henry .Watterson, of
Kentucky, chairman, over Gorman, of
Maryland, by a vote of 22 to 20.
The committee appointed to prepare a
platform consists of members from Connec
ticut, New York, New Jersey and Mary
land, Kentucky, Indiana, Oregon, Michi
gan, Mississippi. Colorado and Louisiana.
It meets at 9 o'clock to-morrow.
6:45 P. M. An evening paper states
that Gov. Gray's name will probably be
withdrawn before the Convention meets
to-morrow. Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, said
this evening that Thurman would be nomi
nated on the first ballot.
8t. Louis, June 5. A good deal of feel
ing was developed in the Convention this
afternoon, shortly before adjournment, by
a resolution offered by an 16 wa delegate,
that during the recess of the Convention
the hall be opened for the inspection of visi
ting club". An , Ohio delegate moved to
amend by instructing the Sergeant-at-Arms
to invite and find seats in the Convention
for everv uniformed Democratic, o.lnh ahn
came from other States. Applause.
, Upon motion of an Arkansas delegate the
whole matter was referred to the National
Committee, but ia the discussion which the
resolution provoked, theJtOhio man said,
"There are. I understand, uniformed Dem
ocratic clubs here from ten or twelve
States. Those of us who are delegates are
obliged to the people of St. Louis for their
nrincelv bnsnitalitr and T thinb- tvD0.

throw me out of this caucus or intimate
that my presence is not desired, and I will
stay out; but, nevertheless, I will go to the

caused contusion and there were dire
threats, but to no purpose. Finally a
resolution was adopted releasing Brady

Credentials. ;
I T. J. Campbell, of New York, sent up to
the desk, so that it might be read, along
preamble and resolutions prepared by him
self, and signed by a large number of
: prominent Democrats. The resolutions de
clare that the perpetuity of the Republic
demands the enforcement of tbe Monroe
doctrine in all its length and breadth, and
that territorial aggrandizement by foreign
; powers in America should be discouraged
and discountenanced by every means in the
power of the United States government. It
; was referred to the Committee on Resolu
: tions without debate.
Mr. Mallory, of Florida, offered the fol
lowing resolution, which was referred to
the Committee on Resolutions:
Resolved, That this Convention hereby
approves and endorses the principles of
tariff reform enunciated by President
Cleveland in his first message to the present
Congress; land to the policy recommended
by him for the practical application of
those principles to the administration of
the ;government we give our unqualified
and universal support.
The mention of Mr. Cleveland's name
was the signal for a round of applause,
which again broke cut as the reading of
the resolution was completed.
The Chairman then called for reports
from the Committee on Organization, and
Mr. Cassidy, of Pennsylvania, its chairman,
reported that it had unanimously agreed
upon General Patrick A. Collins, of Massa
chusetts, for permanent Chairman. The
announcement was received with loud ap
planse and cheers. H. H. Ingersoll, of
Tennessee, was recommended as Secretary
and one delegate from each State as Vice
President, and one Assistant Secretary.
The committee further recommend that the
rules of the previous Convention shall be
in force during the present Convention.
with the modification that no State shall
change its vote for President and Vice
