Harrison. tLinki " that his antiquated letter will make vots for itlm in the last quarter of Ihe nine teenth century, he is no doubt much mistaken. The people have certainly been very ignorant of the operations of ji High Tariff, or they would ;not have tolerated it so long. Bu1 they wj . learning. By Noyember the baleful doctrine of Protection will be belter understood than it has been hincetbe old time discussions be tween tie parties before the " war. hrrisoafwaa nominated by Pro tvetion body, the members of whioh veri' either manufacturing bosses or tlicir pliant agents. The Convention tiikt fH-lecled Harrison, selected him tolj, ..!. its bidding, and it .'put' luin on' a platform- composed of rotten timber braced by Pennsyl vani iron. It affirmed that the War i'aiiil was not high enough and that u mutt bo increased. Harrison is try to tbo best of his ability to stand on iliac fort of ricketty thing.' Early ii November the whole structure will tumble, and down .with j it will go the bitterest foe the South, has in all Indiana. Harrison has tried to dc as he was bidden by the Monop olists. He is dying for more taxes for taxes make a people . prosperous, happy and good according j to the llepublican theory. He repeats ex ploded nonsense, and his soul agonizes when he contemplates the beauties of ibe Chinese Wall. The New York '. Times says of his letter: 'J; '. 'He ia convinced that the American woikibgman 1b availed, and he calmly ad vances his inferential proofs as to the mak ing of the latter asaauJt. The Mills bill is a step toward the revenue basis; the rev enue basis is practically free trade; hence ike Democrats are free tradera and! the de termined enemies of the American work im;aien, a majority of whom, we may add, arc to be found in-their own ranks. I We do not ihink this part of Mr. Harrison's letter will ako high rank as a 'scare' document.'' j It is not necessary to consume much time over his common-place, fallacious letter of acceptance. It must me noticed, however, that he has gone back completely jon his Chinese record. He is no longer the friend of the Mongolian race. He is in favor of keeping them out. But it is too late. Harrison has a very un fortunate record. . When hej was in the Senate apd could have done some thing to prevent their in-coming he voted the other way.. He is not hon est now or he was not honest then, liis change of policy is not aa indi cation of a change of heart. He is a candidate. His record Is unpopular, lie seeks to undo the past, but it will not be undone. His acts as'a legis lator condemn his declarations as a political office-seeker and letter-wri-ter. John Chinaman is betrayed in the bouse of his friends and no longer carTEe fill his lungs and bawl "Hal loo for Hallison.w j ' f The j Republican candidate is as dumb as a Stump Sound oysl.er upon ihe Free Whiskey business. He is Ijon that plank all the same . and he 'gives out no sign that he is not with tb e gang that fixed that rotten plank in the platform. "l ien. Harrison does not fail, after j the regulation pattern, to refer to the disfranchisement of negro voters, but is not moved in bis heart to put up a plea for the bull dozed workingmen j ail through the North, or the thous ands of disfranchised laborerHn Mas- jjsichasetts and other sections jbf New j England." His tears - are all reserved for the' poor-negro. The oppressed white man in the North must get along the best he can and grant and sweat under a weary load. J j The Indiana politician is of oourse for any raid upon the Treasury that will deplete it. He is for Federal School Teaching in the States, i He ie a Blair-billite. He is also! for that great national humbug, the, Civil j, Service law. He stands with Mr. Cleveland just there, as he does also ,m the matter of Trusts. That is the only sound principle he advocates. i he is sincere then he is to be com- mended. But just there he antago ! ... . i. izes tne Maine lung, out it is nt curtain that he is sincere as he as a great beggar for office when in the Senate and always for his Henchmen his party haoks. ; He blows in the' true demagogue style over the huge pension' business llat ig go greatly abused by Repub ft tt r - - i . - .

Mr. Cleveland has ' sootched and killed many of their attempted raids, but he has done well and wisely in favor ing such' bestowment of pensions upon Northern' soldiers as desered There is one other point. Jt will be remembered by readers .of news papers how Col, Dockery so strongly favors buying up the United States bonds not matured by using the Treasury" surplus and paying -the bloated holders some $300 premium on every $1,000 of bonds, said pre mium to come out of the pockets of the people. Well, Harrison seems to be about as much of a Blatesmvn and finanoier as the shade farmer of j the Fee Dee is.-; We give the comment of the New York Ilmea, ihe ablest Independent Republican papery and olose our comments for the present on Harrison's lame and impotent bid for the Presidency, The Times says: " "The one bosltivalv vicious assertion -f the letter is this: i 'The surplus now in the Treasury should be used ia the purchase of Donas, me law authorizes this use of it and the people' should have the advantatrn of its use by stopping interest on the public debt.' ; The most violent and reckless rjro- tectioniBt. the most selfish beneficiary of a tariff sheltered Trust, could not devise a more sneaking, dishonest, and infamous way of preventing the reduction of Drotec- tive taxes than to recommend that the money wrung from the people through taxes ranging from 80 to 180 per cent ad volorem, many of the higher rates being upon ine actual necessaries oi the com monest life, should be used up, so much of it as Congress cannot riehtlv SDend or safely squander, in paying the public debt in aavaooe or maturity ana at a men - pre mium on the bonds so redeemed. We are of the opinion that Mr. Qarrison will re gret that phrase in his letter before he is many weeks older.", .. A SUNDAY mOHNINU CHAT. We have read with pleasure an address on "Numbere," delivered ! by President Crowell, of Trinity Col lege, before Winston Graded School in May last, f It is thoughtful . and suggestive. It is a strong plea for education. He says some good things. - some quotable things. For example he says: " r j "Purity of purpose.' young men and women, is better than power, Only one thing is so dotr.mental to actual progress as instability in one's aims, and that is a bad aim or purpose. By a bad aim I mean a telfith aim; by a selfish aim I mean a life career which makes all things and men re volve around the centre of one's little self.' . Again he says in a fine passage too long for quotation, but a part only we give: j '.:" "Any of its might as well try to replace every particlo of atmosphere disturbed by the flight ot the comet forcing its way across the firmament as to hope to live in human society and not -change it by our having lived, t Bo inextricably is each one of us wrought Into the whole of the world tfhd its interests " He is a warm advocate of teaching English to an English-speaking peo ple, and he is correct, we take it. He says: -. jv ; ;- "And I insist that whatever ii imparted shall be imparted through our mother toncue and " not through some foreign speech, for I am one of j those who believe that in the early stages of education espe cially the Boglish language is as truly the language of our life, thought and institu tions as song is the language of the birds, color the language of flowers or the ripple the language or tne running waters." - The address is much above the av. erage and shows that the author is a man of opinions and cultivation. We oannot say we agree with all he says. We think we could have detected from the reading alone that he was not Southern. In his closing para graph he offers advice to both sexes. We copy a few sentences taken here and there: . i "My parting words are these: Young man, learn to stand alone wherever you are until vou find the right one to stand with you. Your diploma, with its signature, sava in substance, if not in Latin: We have' helped you thus far; now go forth and help youeelf. The best endowment I can wish you-to start with is to be poor, the next best is to be proud of yourself, your friends and your work; and j the next is to be pure in your purse as in your purpose. He does not forget the girls. One sentiment we copy with hearty in dorsement. , .' - "To you. young ladies, I have another message. ' You can best be loyal to your advantages bv being loval to the interests of your homes. I am never tired of repeat ing that the best part of any education must be gotten at The fireside, and you-are the ones to give it." fit If we were travelling in a distant country and were to meet two un known men Whose companions were Charles Lamb's essays and i Mon taigne's essays we should cultivate them at once and feel assured that we were in association with men of genial natures and cultivated tastes. Reader, did you" ever try to read Elia" or the Essays of Michael de Montaigne ? If not then you ought to make . the effort, for you know not the very j great pleasure you are depriving yourself of provided you are fond, of j the best literature. Elia" is delightful beyond comparison. ..." But "we are not about to descant upon the charms of lovable, gentle Charles Lamb. ; Of Mnntaiomo wa would sav a few words hoping to induce some reader to - make' his 'acquaintance, and to read him until be acquires a genuine fondness, for the . peculiar charm . of those wonderful essays, the most gossiping egotistical and instructive in any language. Montaigne was born in Franoein 1533, some three hundred -and fifty-five" years ago. Henry II. "was King .of France, and Paris had between 300,000 and , ; 400,000 ; inhabitants.' j . :We oannot trace Jhls life i in ( outline now for want of space, if wph was, U' -:-v our purpose. . j There is a distinguish ing and moBt engaging quality i in ibis essays. . You may read all litera ture, and - then j when you - turn to Montaigne, you find a fresh charm. There are papers: on him in the last Blackwood and the last Westmins ter Review. - The writer in the latter, begins his interesting paper, thus; J. "Whence comes the marie of HontnivnAt In the first place : the world sees in him the true history of a man, and the true his tory or an epoch. "Thou pereetveat, read er.' runs the nreface to his -Essava. UtAi the 12th of June, 1580, 'I am myself the subject of my book. This,' reader, is a book without guile.! -Twas my wish to be seen in my sunple. natural and ordinary garb, without study or artifice, for 'twas myself I had to paint. My defects will an pear to the life in all their native form.' as rar as consists with respect to the public - awv saia voitaire in tne rauoaopiueai Letter, 'what a ehanning project of Mod taigne's to draw; himself naturally, 'and how well he has done itl He has painted human nature.' In showing us bis own. mind, life and -times, Montaigne shows us all what we are ourselves. He shows us man, by showing us a man, the offspring of one age, and the native of a single spot; but the age in which he and that race lived was "the moat active, eager and productive since' society oegan. i juurope at that time was laying open new empires in the East and West The world was growing under men's feet, and the heavens were deepening and expanding to their gaze." : He was rich, well born, highly edu cated, a genius.! He had a castle and lived in what ,was known as "Mon taigne's tower." It was round jand massive like a dungeon. He had two sets of rooms on two floors.; jHis books were arranged on five shelves running all around the room. There are many inscriptions in black-letter still remaining traced by his hands. There is one in Greek which reads: "It is not so much things that tor ment man, as the j opinions he has of things.- Every j reasoning . has, its oontrary. Wind r swells bladders opinion swells men.". In large Latin letters on the central rafter are. the words: I do not understand. . I pause. I examine.' " ; The Works j of Montaigne were published in London and edited by that accomplished and vigorous wri ter, William jHazlitt. In 1858, Bayle St. John published in London a biography of hun. After the toils of the day it is very refreshing to turn to the ! classical and gossiping pages of a writer who takes you into another age in remote centuries, as far away as; possible from the politi cal discussions 'of the day. In the bright, : thoughtful - pages of the learned andj nobly endowed essayist we forget Chinese Hallison, Jingo Jeems and the shade farmer of the rushing Pee Dee, QaarantlB ana Other matter. Four Jacksonville refugees arrived here yesterday by train on th.e Caro lina Central railroad, but only one of them expressed a desire to stop with us for a season. All of them, had health, certificates purporting to be issued by the authorities at Camp Perry, Florida. They were not per mitted to enter the city, and, it is said, took their departure on a north bound train, j v ' These parties probably came from Hendersonville, ! and if so they must have violated their parole to remain ten days at that place before attempt ing to go elsewhere. Letters received here from Wil mingtonians sojourning at Hender sonville, confirm the report publish ed in the Stab yesterday that five of the Jacksonville refugees were ; sick with fever, and that people were flee ing from the place. The sick Flori dians were isolated, however, and no damage was apprehended of the dis ease gaining a foothold in the town. . .Our health authorities are alert and fully advised of the situation. It was not deemed necessary to declare quarantine against Hendersonville, but all ingress to the city from there is well guarded. The Charlotte Chronicle of yester day says: : ! . - Dr. Geo. W. Graham, who has been spending ; a few days at tne not SDrines of this State, arrived home vesterdavi He came through Hen dersonville, where the yellow fever refugees are quartered, arid though he did not I interview any of them, ha nicked ur a few points irom tne local nassenerers. They state that since the arrival of the refugees at Hender sonville. four cases oi yellow rever have developed, which, with the four cases on tne train, mages eigne oases altogether in Hendersonville. 'The neonle of that place feel safe in the conviction- that the fever cannot "spread" in their atmosphere, and no alarm at all is manifested Dv tne citi zens, the refugees themselves being the on iv ones who feel uneasy All the refugees before leaving Jacksonville, signed a written agree ment that they would not leave the town of Hendersonville under any cir cumstances, until after the expiration of the usual ten days, but it is said that some of them are violating their contract, and scattering out in differ ent directions, i it is ciaimeamai a party of them made their way to' Sa luda, and there registered as coming from f!nlnmbiaand other DlaceS. An experienced physician is attend ing the refugees In Hendersonville, and the sick are receiving better treatment and are in better ciroum stances than if they were in Jackson ville. They are as comiortaDiy nousea as possible under the circumstances. An manv of them have doubtless car ried the eernis of the disease in their system, it is expected that new cases among tne nenaersonvnio refugees will continue to be reported for some The refugees are isolated as com- nletelv as possible from the citizens. and the patients are being cared for in a house that Is isolated both from the citizens and refugees. - Although t.h neoole of Hendersonvule proiess to be perfectly at ease,' it is evident that the v are somewhat .nervous. There are nearly five hundred refu gees in the party, and when the train that brought them pulled into Hen dersonville the large crowd that had mifiambled at the depot, fled like a nnp.lc of frightened sheep. The refu gees,at any rate, are now enjoying the hospitalities oi.iine rown nu mey feel that they are welcome, since Hendersonville was the first town in the State that issued an invitation to them.

Thursday, and were soon scattered all over the town in hotels and private boarding houses. Five of them were found to be sick on arrival, and these were at J once placed in a house by themselves, un der care of physicians.
