"C. I. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass. :

and Hood's Sarsaparilla has again been used
with satisfactory results. I do not believe you
can find a much better looking child for his age,
eight years, than our boy. For this picture of
health his mother and also myself attribute it to
the use of that most valuable remedy, Flood's
Sarsaparilla. His trouble before taking the
medicine was an affliction with boils, and a gen

from such suffering the child became weak and

THE MONOPOLISTS. THE
COMMUNISTS AND THE DEM
OCRACY. Baltimore Sun.
A democratic majority in Congress strug
gling to pass a reform bill to equalize tax
burdens in the face or a coalition of monop
olistic interests, illustrates the dangerous
tendf ncy of concentrated wealth to corrupt
and overawe the legislative power. Coxey's
army, struggling over the mountains and
through the valleys, begging free transporta
tion by land or water, and in some cases
taking it where it fs not given, moving on
to Washington to demand that Congress
Bhall do anrell by the masses as it has by
the classes, And provide wages for poor la
borers as well as profits for rich manufac
turers, is theobversj side of the monopolietic
medal.
The two spectacles are contrasts and yet
companions. The republic is between these
two perils the manufacturing monopolies
demanding to be favored by special legisla
tion, and the mob demanding to be fed by
the same means. The greed of an arrogant
plutocracy is on theone side and the distress
of a despairing proletariat on the other. Be
tween them stands the government, for the
time being in the bands of the democratic
party. To that party belongs the double
duty of setting bounds on the one hand to
the aggressions of the capitalistic combina
tions that have usurped the taxing power of
the government for their own aggrandize
ment, and. of firmly resisting, on the other
band, all those communtie schemes for
making the government support the people
of which Coxey's army is a fantastic prod
uct. It is eminently a time to recall the ringing
words of Hon "John G. Carlisle, uttered iu
t ie course of the debate on the Mills tariff
bill iu 18S8: "No matter who may desert or
who may falter, the gi oat fight for reform
will go in. This country does not belong to
either the monopolists or the communists,
and the people will save it from both." In
spite of all the laughter that Coxey's march
to the sea has caused it is a serious symptom
of the industrial and social conditions which
thirty three years of protectionism, pater
nalism, extravagance, corruption and class
favoritism in legislation have produced
among us. In all the seventy years prior to
the war, during which democratic policies
were nearly all the time in the ascendeucv.
no such dismal demonstration as Coxev's
army is waking was known. Under these
policies it would have been impossible to col
lect such tt hobt of idle and aimless men,
with no hope left but a wild rush to Congress
with a petition to be Employed, paid and
8U . ported at the national expense. Neither
in all those seventy ante-bellura years was
there ever seen a conipanion spectacle to
that now presented in Cougress itself, where
one Senator after another is rising In his
place to plead for 40, 60, SO and in some cases
lt'O per cent, tariff taxes, to the end that the
few monopolists may go on growing richer,
while the consuming and toiling millions go
on gro trig poorer.
Republican rule has given up JIcKinley's
tariff and creuted Coxev's Commonweal I
Army. The millionaires and the tramus are
evolutiuus of the same perilous policy of
making the government n, special partner in
favored branches of business, and mercilesslv
taxing all classes to make a few hundred
men fabulously rich. Spreading Lroadcast
the delusive doctrines that prosperity can bo
mada to order by Congress, that cood times
can be provided and hard times prohibited
by special enactments, and that to give
work and wages" so everybo lv who needs
them is the prime duty of the general eov-
ernment has been the inevitable result of the
gospel of protection, as expounded by Mc
Kitiley, Reed and the other leading lights of
latter-day republicanism.
Let us not laugh over loud'y at the Com
monweal Army. There is nothing in its de
mands that Congress shall find every idle
man a job and loan money to every man who
wnnts to horrow on bonds that shall bear no
interest that are not clearly traceable to the
vicious propaganda of protectionism. The
logic of the Coxey programme is clear
enough, from the McKiuley standpoint. If
the great manufacturing corporations shall
have congress make markets for their goods
and fix prices and profits for them, whv
shall not the individual citizen have Congress
make a market for this labor and fix his em
ployment and wages for him? Is, there any
reason why 2,COO,000 persons employed in
lactones shall bo provided for bv the eov-
ernment at the general expense aud all the
rest of our working people be left to shift for
tuemselves; Have the coal and iron and
lumber lords, already enormously rich, any
better rigbt to be taken care of by tariffs
thau Coxey's crowd of more modest mendi
cants, who really are "hard up," have to be
provided for by special appropriations for
road-building?
Coxey's procession of seedy and needy men
is, it must be remembered, only the grotesque
bimiiow oi a vast army of unemployed labor,
estimated by protectionist authorities to
number three .millions, who are staying sul
lenly at home; while all the time the Mc
Kiuley tariff rates, under which they were
told they could not fail to have steady work
and bitch wages, are still feeing levied for
their "protection" at every port. If high
taxes could help them, why are not-all the
workmen at work, aud how did Coxey's un
canny host spring into existence? With an
84 per cent, tax on ready made clothing, why
are these men in rags? Did not President
Harrison tell them all Jthat ' 'cheap coats
macta cheap menf McKinley secured dear
coats for them, and why are they not re
velling in good clothes? With a 60 per cent,
tax on carpets, why are there uny bare
floors in the laud? With a 110 per cent, tax
on blankets, why do not all these men sleep
well covered? With q. 130 per cent, tax on
worsted knit goods, who does any working
man or his wife or his children go about
shivering! No democratic tariff reform has
yet taken one cent off these benevolent taxes
levied for the tspeclal benefit of labor the
manufacturing philanthropists of New York,
New Englaud and tht other centers of tariff
fed -industries block the way. And yet 3,
OJO.tOO pairs cf honest hands are idle, and
Wew York city points -with pride to the fact
that its well-to do people havegiven $15,000,
000 the past winter to keep its working peo
ple from starvation.
There is a bad break somewhere between
the rosy promios and the rueful perform
ances of protection. Te farmer was to have
a home market and high prices. Instead of
that be has had, since 18B0, to sell more
abroad than ever ad accept lower prices all
the time. The factory operatives wee to
have more work and higher wages. Instead
of that they Lave had less work, lower wages,
more strikes aud lookouts and harder times
since 1893 than they ever knew before. Yet
the republican leaders are so iufatuuted with
their own theorif-s that tboy seem to believe
themselves back into good times and secure
prosperity by suffocation.
The trutb is that the wretched system of
protection, persisted in for three decades of
constantly towering tariffs, has produced a
national nightmare, in which the monopo
lies are seen sitting astride Congress and
blocking -the road to reform, while Coxey's
forlorn army, with its crazy dreams of com
munistic legislation, pursues its weary way
to Washington to furnish the antithesis to
McKinleyism, Inside the Capitol are the
protected millionaries fighting for theif trib
ute; outside, just directly, will be a mob of
unprotected paupers, a small contingent of
protection's three million victims, clamoring
for victuals. Corporate greed aud commun
istic folly will camp together at the seat of
government. It is indeed time to lift the
banner of true democracy higher and blazon
on its folds the study declaration of John G.
Carlisle: "This country does not belong to
either the monopolists or the communists,
and the people will save it from both."
Army of the Untrained.
Exchange,
. Prob-iWy there is no padder fc a
ture of the prevailing misery among
the thousands of men and women
who are out ,of employment than
iheir inability to make themHelvea
useful in any field of labor except
some single industry or drudgery in
which they have been engaged.
They are equipped with brains, eyes,
pare, arms and fingers all the
paraphernalia of human movement
and activity but their faculties are
untrained. They are not masters of
themselves. "They are like Shake
speare's tapster at the Boar'a Head
Tavern, who, although the son of a
-woman, had fewer words than a
parrot, his vocabulary having been
limited to the simple necessities of
hia occupation. It has been found
impossible for the charitably disposed
to set poor people at work who can
only dig or drudge. The unemployed
women cannot cook or sew or de any
of the labors of careful house wifery.
The men cannot turn their hands to
any occupation of skill. The organ
ized t ffort to set idleness ut work has
thus boen baffl d. It has been eay
enough to fi.id a man for the place,
but hard to find a place fitted lo the
man.
This sad condition of off airs has
served to strongly emphaneiz the
value of manual training iu Ihe
school. The boys should be educated
in the physical use of their faculties,

their hands to whatever occupation
may offer them opportunity. For

the whole round and reach of domes

what way lo properly boil poffttoes

There is no adrq mte supply in the

cut out a coat or a pair of trousers

JUDGING KINDLY.
New York Herald.
Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no
more. St John, viii.,11.
This is one of the roost dramatic
and pathetic incidents in the career
of Christ.
There was no doubt that thia wo
man had committed an offence for
which, according to the Hebrew
code, she merited death. The law
was explicit and the punishment was
relentlessly inflicted. It had been
the babit of the people and the cus
tom of the nation for twenty genera
tions to hurl an immoral woman in
to eternity aa ono throws a stone
from a sling.
The eneering scribes and haughty
Pbariseea thought to embarrass
Christ in the presence of the multi
tude. They dragged the poor, trem
blmg creature before Him, declared
lhat she bad been taken "in the very
act," and then with curled lipa waited
Tor Hi8 verdict. It was a test case.
Would He acknowledge the authority
of precedent or would He have the
audacity to repudiate the law which
had received the sanction of Jehovah!
In other words, would He surrender
in the pinch, or proclaim Himself su
perior to the Voice that thundered
from Sinai t
Jesus stepped across the boundary
line which divided the old from the
new dispensation when He answered
that question. The Jewa had been
taught to fear God ; He would teach
men to love God. To them God was
the implacable lawgiyer, who, as
Anne of Austria once eaid to Riche
lieu, "is a sure paymaster." He may
not pay at the end of every.week or
month or year, but He pays in the
end." Christ would have meu be
lieve that God is also a Father, and
lhat we, as His children, ere to judge
each other generously, because under
like circumstances we might yield to
the same temptation.
To paraphrase, Christ ea;d : "Let
your law be obeyed if you will have
it so. But this wretched criminal
must not be put to death by men
who have committed the same of
fence. If there are any among you
who are wholly innocent let them
execute judgment."
Then followed that remarkable sen- .
tence which startled the moral sense
of the world : .'"Neither do 1 condemn
the; go, and ein no more." Per
haps the crowd were surprised; pos
sibly many of thero shook their
heads wuh indignation. The more
conservative among them may have
felt that the dignity of the law had
had been outraged, that this Naza
rene bad blundered in abrogating the
custom established by Moses and ap
proved by the prophets.
But we can sen that a new princi
pie was announced. Nobody will as
sert that Jesus could do otherwise
than condemn a criminal act. Hia
whole career is a denral of such a
stair ment. Neither will any one de
clare that He weakly yielded to the
pathos of ibe occasion, or that He re
fused lo condemn in jorder to defy
the Phariseea and scribes. "
No such motive, but a far nobler
one, ac'uated Him By the religion
which He represented We are en
joined to judge the fallen with Hie
consciousness lhat we too may fall
someday; lo hate the sin but love
the sinner, and offer a helping hand."
We are to judge . as one brother
would judge another not with in
difference to guilt, but with pity for
the offender.
Thia ia a most thrilling doctrine,
and it opens up a series of duties
which wo may find difficult to per
form. It ia an easy thing to con
demn a sinner, send him to prison,
aud so forget all about him. It ia a
very different thing to look on a sin
ner with pitying eye and, while con
demning what he has done, make
him feel that yon atq hia friend and
will help him to recover himself.
The habit of harsh judgment is
ungracious, ungentle and unchris
tian, "but altogether too common
among ua. We are prone lo at
tribute a bad motive even where it
would be possible to see a good mo
tive. It is not too much to say that
we rather relish a rumor which tells
against a neighbor, and find a mor
bid comfort in the thought that peo
pie are not so good aa they preteud
to be or seem to be.
If a man gives largely to a charity
our first impulse ia to declare thai
there is a purpose in it which ia not
quite as excellent aa appearances
would indicate. If a woman com
mka an indiscretion, either wilfully
or through ignorance, we make it by
our harsh criticism just aa hard for
her to heal the wound as possible. In
a word, we are not helpful to each
other, and are much more inclined
to shove an offender down hill thn
to pull him up hill. We are more
apt to look on the darkest side of
other people'a lives and to ihink the
worst of them than to look oa the
bright ide and think the bePt of
them. At the eamo time we would
be glad to haye Ihem look at us len
iently and find a good rather than a
bad motive. Doing unto others,
however, as you would have them do
to you neither cuita our'convenience
nor our appetite.

head on his hand, saying it would

If we were to follow the example
of the artist and charitably cver up

or if, conscious that we need mercy

virtue toward others, or if, na com
roanded by Christ, we should make,

Gov. Vance a Prisoner The
Trip From StatesTille to Salis
bury. Mr. S. Witlkowsky, of Charlotte,
who accompanied Gov. "Vance from
StatesvilU to Salisbury when the
latter wan a prisoner in 1865. told the
story of that jurnoy at a memorial
meeting in Charlotte on the 16 h,
and the Observer thus reports bim:
'I was particularly fortunate in
having hia VanceV frendship.
which commenced in Statesville un
der very peculiar circumstances, and
dates back to the dark days of Arril,
1865.
"Statesville was then cut off from
communication with the outside
world. Her two railroada and the
telegraph line were destroyed.
One afternoon a troop of United
States cavalry, about 300 strong,
came dashing in with carbines in
their hands, and surrounding Gov.
Vance's house informed bim that
they had orders to take him a pris
oner lo Washington, but would wait
until uext morning. I waa request
ed to drive the Governor ia a buggy
to Salisbury.
We started in the following or
der: Four men on each side of the
buggy, and the others half in front
and half in the rear.
'Gov. "Vance was overcome by
ihe surrouudings and 6hed tears,
and I do not apologize for these
teara they were not the trara of
fear they wese manly shed in love
for hia family and for North Caro
lina. Presently ha turned to rr.e,
and, wiping the teara Trom his
face, said: 'This wiil not do. I
must be a man, but I am not so
much concerned as to what may be
in Btore for me, but my poor wife
and little children ihey were little
thei)thy have uot a cent of
moneyyand my poor State what
:ndignity may be in store for .hert
Many a man in my position, hav
ing ships continuously running the
blockade, would have feathered hia
nest .by shipping cotton to Europe,
and in fact I have often been solic
ited to do so, but, thank God, I did
not do it my hands are clean and
I can face my fillow citizens and
and say lhat I have not made mon
ey out of my position.
"We then rc"de on until we .were
about twelve miles from Salisbury,
wnen we ail sat down by a spring
and had lunch, which we invited our
guard lo share . with us. The Gov
ernor had by this time recovered bis
usual spirits and began to tell the
guarda several jokes and eo gained
or them .that I heard them say
among ihemaelues: 'Why this rebel
Governor ia a nice, jolly good fellow'
so different from what they bad
expected.
"After lunch he was invited by
the commander of the trocpa to ride
with bim on horseback when he got
tired of ridiug in the bug;y, which
invitation was accepted. He thus
rode six miles, when be again took
his seat in the biggy, and we drove
ahead without any guard at all unlil
we came wilbin two miles of Salia
bury, when we waited for the column
to come up.
'The Governor remarked to the
commanding orncer. 'captain, you
are giving me a good opportunity to
run away,' lo which the officer re
plied: 'Governor, I know my man.
Such was the great magnetism of
Gov. Vance starling out surrounded
by a troop of cavalry, he in the few
hours bad gained their confidence
and esteem to Ihe extent that they
were willing to trust him.
NThe officer in command then eaid
trovernor, it you will give me your
word of honor lo be at the depot to
morrow lo meet me at the train.
will not subject you to the indignh
ty of marching that troop through
the town, but will let you go in alone
with but one officer, be Co go some
distance behind you so as not to
give the appearance that you are
hia piiaoner.' The Governor tbanked
him and we in thia way drove into
town to Col, Shober's bouse, and
while the beautiful and charming
Misa Shober entertained the officer.
Gov. Vanca went out among his
friends to acquaint Ihem of the con
dition" of things, and to borrow a
little money, aa he" had not a cent.
In later years, when speaking of the
trip, he told me that all he could
raise in that town at that time wa
about 163.
'The uext day I went to the depot
to bid him good by. where I found
him in the cra surrounded by a
number of officers, all as jolly aa If

But Iho little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each iu the same old place,
Awaiting the loach of a little band,
And tbe smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting tbe long years
through.
In tbe dust of tbe little cbair.
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since be kissed them and put them there,

MAY WEATHER.
Prof. Hicks in Wori and Works.
The month opens at tho end of
of April's closing storm period, with
storm disturbances disappearing in
extreme eastern parta of the country
and coaler wealber prevailing in
central and western sections. An
equinox of Mercury is central on the
3rd, and will cause cloudiness and
tendency lo continued drizz'e. In
the extreme north sleet uetd not
prove a surprise. By the 4th decid
ed change to warmer will develop in
the west, aud during the 5th to 7th,
reactionary storms will pass over the
country, being central about the
time of new moon on the 5ih. A
sharp change to cooler will fo'low the
disturbances at this lime, with strong
probabilities of frost along the north
ern side of the country from abcut
7th to 10th.
From 10th lo li h is the next reg
ular period of change and storm. A
very warm wave ia apt to appear by
the lllh, in western regions, and du
ring the three days next following
etorma of much energy and wide
scope will traverse the country from
west to east. Auother very cool
wave for the season will come in be
bind the storms causing several
days of much cooler weather in the
country . generally . Heavy rains
may reasonably be expected during
the last named disturbances name
ly, about the lllh, 12ih, and 13. h.
during which time a series of daily
storms, rccurnug near ine same
lime of lay, or night, for several
days need not be unlooked for
Wa:cb barometers, temperature and
direction of wind; if barometer fails
to rise after one storm passes, with
wind still in east and south, expect
another storm from Ibe west, and so
on uutil conditions change.
The cool weather following the
storms of the last period will give
place to warmer, and secondary
storms will appear in many place
about the 17th and ldlb, immediately
after which, the barometer will rise
rapidly to a very high reading, at
tended by a sharp change to cooler.
From 21st to 25th, falls the nex
storm period, during which time it
will grow vry warm, and many
storms of ram, thunder and wind
will appear. In all these distur
bances, the intelligent use of the ba
rometer, and correct observation of
wind currents, will foreshadow wilb
much certainty tbe coming and "the
intensity of etorma. About the 27ih
and 28th, wilK be central the last
distbrbances of May bringing fair
and cooler days and nights for the
closing months.
In the nature of things. May must
bring more or less violence, in a me
teorological way, but there ia a
marked absence of disturbing causes,
eo far aa other planeta are concerned.
There are reasona to believe that
storms will not be unusually frequent
and hen vy; but it will be the part of
prudence lo watch Ihem all, and be
prepared to take refuge from all lhat
may carry in iheir cloudy fold3 the
desolators of towns aud haarts and
homed.

The Eagle on the Coins.
Harper's Young People.
If you have a silver dollar ef 1SCC,
1838, or 1S33, or one of the first nick
el cents coined in 1S59, you will find
upon it the true portrait of an Amen
can eagle, which was for many
years a familiar sight in the streets of
Philadelphia.
'Peter,' one of the finest eaglea ever
captured alive, waa the pet of tbe
Philadelphia Mint, and was generally
known aa tbe 'Mint Bird.'
Not only did he have free acce?a lo
every part of ibe Mint, going with
out hindrance into the treasury vaults
where even the Treasurer of the Uni
ted Stalea would not go alone, but
used his own pleasure in going about
the city, Gying over ihe houses,
sometimes perching upon the lamp
posts in the streels.
Everybody knew him and admir
ed him, and even the street boys
treated bim with respect. Tbe Gov
ernment provided hia daily fare, and
he waa aa much a part of the Mint
establishment as the superintendent
or chief comer.
He waa eo kindly treated that be
had no fear of anybody or anything.
and be might be In the Mint yet if
he bad not set down to rest on one of
the great fly wheels. The wheel
started without warning, and Peter
waa caught in Ihe machinery. One
of bia winga waa broken, and be
died a few days later.
The superintendent had his boby
beautifully mounted, with the winga
spread to their fullest extent; and to
thia day Peter stands in a glass case
in the Mini's cabinet, where you
may see him whenever you go
there. An exact portrait of him an
be stands in the caso was put upou
the coins named.

Some time ago a well- known col

Sina told Jerry that she ort to have

gave her bia noto, which reada aa

Thia is to certify that I. lh sed

five dollars to be pade by Sept. 1st

When the eaid Sina tried to col
lect Ihe said note after the first of
September, Jerry maio the point
that the amount of fire dollars waa
due him, and the case will go to the
Supreme Court, our local tribunals of
justice being unable to settle it.

Let all young people who are ad
dicted to ibe use of slang in any de
gree take thia wholesome advice
frona Mary S. McCobb:
This 'sermonett" ia especially for
you. dear girl-. The advice could be
put in three words Don't do it.
Possibly there might come an occa-
sion, say once in a lifetime, when a
good round bit cf the genuine article
"slang" would prove funny. But to
hear vulgar words used by a gentle
girl ia almost invariably shocking. I
remember passing two girla in ibe
street, and bearing one of them say.
I'll bet you a quarter. Jt gave me
a shiver. Ana wnen a group of
school girla fill their, conversation
aa galas, tbey often do with one
slang phrase after another, the effect
on tbe outsider is painfully disa
greeable.
Tbe babit of talking slang grows
rapidly. It ia like reporting a bit of
scandal. Have you never noticed if
you say an unkind word against a
neighbor, how quickly a chance
comes to say another! And with
just that same appaling ease a habit
of using carelessness, coarse word
increaaes. Wesda grow rapidly.
There ia plenty of good, strong
English to give expression to wit,
drollery, indignation or sympathy.
without recourse to the phrases
which belong to vagabonds- The
street Arab picks up slang be
does the ends of old cigars from the
gutter. Surely a well bred girl ia
not on the same level in her speech
and manner. Why should she use
vulgar words any more than ebe
would stain her handsf.
