I *hou 14 lijke to speak of the man
ly spartwin which" the young men
take an energetic interest, but have
barely space left. Lawn tennis,
bowls, wicket mad boating afford
-them exercise. The lovely river
Cum flows through the University
grounds and gives them fine oppor
tunity for rowing in. which , they
greatly ererj. Each college has. its
boating club, and they take more
jpridein this perhaps than anything..
else, while a few miles below the
river widens, sndthat has been the
scene of many a hotly contested race
between rival dobs of Cambridge,
and occasion lly between the picked
men of Oxford and Cambridge.

In the grounds of Christ's College
I was shown a mulberry tree planted
by John Milton, more than two hun
dred years ago. The mathematical
bridge across the Cam, made by Sir
Isaac Newton, without nails or iron
fastenings of any kind, was pointed
out to me, and if is said after : his1
death the bridge was taken tri pieces
• to learn the secret of^ its strength,
when lo! no one could put it togeth
er again, and alas! it had to be ,ig
nobly nailed together as any common
bridge would be.
Still a third thing of interest was
the room which Erasmus, the great
scholar, occupied when invited by
Bishop Fisher to visit England in
the 10th centary. This court of
Queen’s College is owned in honor of
Jdrasmus. Still a fourth curious
thing is a fish, still living, which
Queen Elizabeth saw three hundred
years ago. He has snog in his nose j
and is taken out every fifty years and
an additional mark put on the ring.
He is a species of carp. I stood on
the banks of the pond in which this
venerable old gentleman disports
himself, but did not see him. 1 was
assured, however, that he was still
alive and in vigorous health. “ j
1 torgot to say m its proper, place
that the ordinary expenses of a, stu
dent here is a thousand dollars. He ,
pays $100 room rent per annum; and
the fees charged seem to, me to .be
-unreasonably large. For instance u
student pays $35 for his B. A. de
gree and $75 for the A. M. degree,
-which is gtrenr not upon examina
tion, but in course, as use to be the
case in the United States.
Many of the chapels have trained
choirs, composed of boys with, fine
voices, gathered from all parts of the
country, who are educated free of
charge, their singing being regarded
as an equivolent, tor this privilege.
These collegiate students can board
in the city, and Cambeidge has thir
ty-six thousand people, and take a
degree at less than half the expense
of the rgulu. students, or pensioners
as they an termed.
Robert Barrett is said to be insane,
his delusion being that Jay Gould is
after him all the time, seeking, so to
speak, to devour him.

!We feel that we would bd doing
injustice to a strong and bonscien
tious public eervant if we permit
ted the case of Wm. A. Potts, Jr.!, hi
pass Out of the public recollection
without1 a word of commendation of
His Excellency, Gov, Scales, in con
nection therewith, i The result of
the case (so far ns the courts and
the Governor are concerned) is the ;
most signal triumph for the majesty
of the law that has been achieved
in North Carolina in many a day,
and its influence upon the public
mind cannot be other than most sal*
utary. Potts was a man of, educa
tion and social standing. H is ances
tors have been “good people,” , Be-!
cause these things were true he was
what thoughtless people calf “a gen
tlemen.” if, : latterly, ! his people
have nut been wealthy, they were
still able to secure for the defence of
the criminal the best talent .of the
Eastern bar, and to put in operation
nil the machinery usually invoked
to defeat justice. It is safe to say
that after the courts had done their
duty, tremendoua ■ pressure was
■JftVUgU* l/M VCitf Uj'Uli WKK j
to induce hint to nullify their work.
All the influence of Potts’ family and
hie counsel was used to secure Execu
tive clemency. The heart-broken
father and mother visited the Gov
ernor, andface to face besought him
for the life of their son. The ordeal
Was a terrible'orie—the more so to
Gov. Scales because he is the gen
tlest and most humane of men.'His
wljole inclination was, doubtless, to
commute the sentence, and a weak
man would ba e yielded; but he saw
hisdufy and lived up to the full
measure of it. Potts was not hanged
but it was not the fault of Gov.
Scales. :~r ..
It sounds cruel but it is said with
out feeling and with deliberation:
Tuesday, the 17th day of July, 1888,
was a red-letter day in North Caro
lina. It witnessed a re-affirmation
of the principle of the equality of all
men before the law. It is not often
that men of Potts’ birth, rearing and
cultivation are brought under- the
shadow of the gallows. It many be
said that this isbecause men so born,
reared and educated rarely >. become
criminals. So be it—we hope this
is true. But it is a matter of public!
notoriety that a few years ago there’
was u wretched miscarriage of jus
tice in the case of a defendant,
charged with a capital crime, who
was quite us well born as Potts and
in the matter of family influence
was quite ns fortunate as he. It is
no more, however, than just to the
iury in the ease to say that the judge
before whom it was tried—a Repub
lican judges—went to his grave, un
der the suspicion of having sold jus
tice for money. '''
But Potts did not live in vain since
nis death has established the fact,
that even “agentleman” is notabove
the law in North Carolina- fn that
this has been done the case assumes
an importance entirely out of the
ordinary. It moreover teaches our
K the wisdom of putting into
[eentive chair men who have
the courage to do right—men who
hold their high office as a trust, to
be administered for the public ben
efit.
Moral Influence of Publio Opinion.
(From Danville Register.)
All people condemn the gossip
and the backbiter well they may. It
is little and mean to gossip about
your neighbor, if by that term is
meant slander and unjust criticism.
But it is not wrong, to speak of a
mean thing a man has done. Indeed,
the people ought to talk about such
things and coudemn them, too, else
what becomes of the great moral jn-,
fluence of public opinion. All men
are afraid of public opinion and it is
a great power for good.
People would be surprised to know
how often a newspaper is asked to
suppress reports of the misdoings of
men. Men are afraid for the world
to know and therefore they don't
waut the paper to tell. Hut- the pt*
r' must tell, and the people ought
talk about the mcigmess of mean
(hen. • ,--j n ■ .
' The trouble is that there is too
ittuch of the hush-up policy in^Ihis
age. People are frequently too prone
to condone crime and to pardon
criminAls Tt is nil right toehconra|je
a bad man to reform and to Mp him
in his efforts to reform, Biit don't

Twa* the custom ■ of those who
lived along the coast of the ^Egean
to place Eoleon harps in the win
dows of their dwellings. These
harps when swept by Hie gentleeven
ing or the morning zephyrs, gave
forth a low and charming melody.
But when the storms came, and the
wild winds swept aeross the waters,
clashing with rode force' the • lyre,
the'music rose, Swelled andshrieked
above the roar of the tempest and
the thnnderof the slirfi Such is
music's nature. He is anemminently
and emotional ereatare. He has, as
it were, a harp in the window of his
sonl which plays a tune suitable to
the stirring events of life. As the'
gentle zephyrs of sweet success blow
upon him, his soul responds in a
low, grateful melody. But when
wild storms howl, the music mounts
ahoveJtUe wailing winds and cheers
him on to victory.
The principle is aptly illustrated
in the conduct of a vessel. It re
quires no skill to guide the vessel as
it glides geiitly through the glassy
waters, with the little zephyrs play
ing among it? nails: and the .•sun
beams kissing its deck; but when
the storm clouds !Crec|> over the sky
and the sails at first flutter, then
flap and finally pop like pistols by
the force of the - wind; when the
thunder deafens and the lightning
blinds; when the waves come wel-<
ling up in one grand procession and
there is heard the cry of breakers
ahead!" then it is that the skill and
courage of the pilot is called into
play and the hidden forces of his
nature reveal themselves.—Just so
it is in political affairs. When great
events are pending; when the scales
of human destiny are hung out in
heaven and the eyes of men grow
lira at watching the doubtful bal
ance; when old levees are broken
lown and nations hear the roar of
inuundation; when the winds of
passion rage, pind men are engaged
in the death grapple, then it is that
thO soul of man, mounting upon the
wings of the occasion, is borne aloft,
;rand, noble, courageous.
But, us is the lyre wlien mute;
is is the ore in the dark mountain
nde^as.is the -gem that sparkles
unseen in the caverns of the deep, so
s courage in the sonl till occasion
mils forth. Man, like the pool of
Bethesda, needs some disturbing
power to bring out his good quali
fies. And without this, he can but
’keep the even tenor of his way”
ind join the millions in oblivion's
rault. Perhaps before me is a Grace
Darling, ready at the signal of dis
;ress to imperil her life in the suv
ng of others. Perhaps among these
right hearted-youths is an Alexander,
ready to mount and dash away up
>n some-wild,- untamed Bucephalus;
>r aHanibal, ready to shake ava
anches from the ice-bound brow of
the Alps. Yes, occasion is the pow
>t that sweeps the lyre, that digs
she ore, that dives for the gem, and
thatcrystallizes the carbor of the
toul into a diamond whose sparkling
iriiliailcy'unbbrn generations will
tdmire.
Rut as there is nothing without
its exceptions, so there are ’some
men—men without a heart to feel
>r a mind to discern—upon whom
mcasion exerts no influence.—When
idversitv comes and ‘‘wind and rain
>eat dark December. down,” they
l*ut elose the shutter: and draw the
:urtoins of their souls und make no
effort to bear up. They have qraf
Fed btt the Circean cup, and that
base enchantress has transformed
them into beasts. , For such meil
there is huitittle ho]»e. It is thread
is slender as that which sustained
the sword of Damocles. Heaven’s
i)c he my alone can transmute such
base metal into gold, .
But again. There a certain cq Ur
ine ncquirediu Hfe, the occasion of
which is omnipresent.—This is mpr
il courage; a courage to overcome
the temptatione and guard against
the snares and pitfalls-of life. . ’Tie
f!d, «
trieh by surrounding it with sticks
of only a few inches in height. Just
so it is with some ' men'.* ■Though
ready to sing a joyful hymn amid the
hissing, flames in defense of. their
faith, yet pn§ cunningly devised
'temptation can lead them astray;
though ready to climb mountains
that obstruct their pathway, yet the
little driftwood of life will turn them
from their course.
Then let us of to-day.guard guard
against this. Let us go forward,
remembering that he who knows
the right and hath courage to do H,
acts from a grander, a nobler, a more
God-like .principle. than he who
makes a city. Take this for, your,
motto,—‘‘Imre to do right,” and1

It is more than eighteen years now
since the wisest Republican leaders
—Morrill, Dawes, Sherman, Gar
field, Allison^—began to warn their
party that the tariff was too high,
that the repeal of the internal taxes
the tariff was made to offset left no
excuse for a large part of the duties,
that it was oppressive to American1
industry rather than protective.
How has that warning been heeded?
Not at all. The majority of those
in the party who have any intelli
gence views on the subject undonbt
ly believe, and have believed for a
dozen years, that there should be a
reduction. There has been none.
A cut of 10 per cent, was made in I
1872. It was restored in 1874. A j
reduction was attempted in 1883. It!
resulted in an advance on the aver
age, and the only chnnge really made
was in certain articles where the du- (
ty was, and remains, prohibitory.'
These are facts. They an* not in- i
ferenees or assumptions. They are
plain facts, of the record. They are
followed by a Republican Conven
tion's demand for prohibitory rates
and for the repeal of the liquor- tax
rather than a surrender of tariff tax
es. They are followed by the abso

The organization find attitude of
the Third or Prohibition party in
this Stater calls for serious considera
tion from those of ns wno hnve'been
identified With all the movements
looking to the abolition Of the liquor
traffic that have taken place during
the past several years. Have given
no subject more thought than that
of intemperance and prohibition,,
and for the past several months I
have been intensely concerned about
the position which those desiring
prohibition should take wifh-regard
to the Third party that I saw w'as
coming South in‘this organiza
tion and work. Ffrequently I have
talked with.the,lfttlel}yyye^tqd John
B. Finch, chairman of the National
Prohibition Executive -Committee,
and with John E- Stearns, Esq., s^C;
retary of the National Temperance,
Society, and many older leading ipeu
about what to me. was the peculiar
situation of the Prohibition of the
South. With few exceptions the
temperance men, of the South have
fought its battles and built up the
sentiment for' Prohibition which:
we to-day entertain the same
views that I do, and that is, the or
ganization of the Third party ;in the
South is unwise and dangerous—mot
only to the cause of Prohibition, bpt
to our civil and polical institutions.
Local option is mot all that we
want. The law as it now stauds is
crude and imperfect and therefore
its operation difficult. But local
option, with all its faults, have pro
ven a blessing to those communities
where it has been faithfully tested,
and with our population it is our on
ly hope. And the large sections of
North Carolina under prohibition to
day are so because of loeal option andi
sfiecial legislative enactment fori
schools, churches, &c. !
it tne question was prohibition or;
license the position of the "iepiper-j
anee people would be clear, but there i
can be no doubt in the mind of any j
one as to the result of the present!
organization of, the Third party in
North Carolina. A large majority j
of the voters all come from the Deuo-'
ocratie party, and just so far as thej
vote of the Third party increases,!
the strength of the Democratic par-j
ty decreases. So that the question
for each prohibitionist todecidenow
is this:
Which political party do I prefer
to have in power in North Carolina-*
the Democratic or Kepublican?
With either as a jMiliticatparty we
will have the saloons. We know that
and therefore it is choice of which
party, with the saloons, that the pro
hibitionists prefer. There can be
no hope of electing Mr. Wafter or
any of the Third party candidate.
So that we will have the saloons af
ter the election as we have them
now.
mu lour years rrom now we will
come into power,” some of the Third
party men tell ns.
Upon what ground this is believed
I cannot possibly see. Whenever
those opposed to prohibition find an
organization of any magnitude
againgt them they will come togeth
er in one effort, as they did in 1881,
olid the-result is easily stated.
Our only hope, I repeat, is through
local option in reaching those local
ties thut we can control.
I commenced voting in State and
national politics in 1870. My reason
for voting the Democratic ticket at
thiit time admitted of no question or
doubt. The same conditions exist
to-day; and aside from the national
issues that divide the two great par
ties here in North Carolina, the ques
tion of race supremacy must be con
sidered. By this, I do not rneau so
da! equality. This I do not greatly
fear, Birt rape supremacy is a fact of
history under Republican rule in the
South, and therefore is not only pos
sible but sure, if the Republican
party succeeds. I hav.e no bitter
ness of fueling in the matter. My
record for the past twenty years in
this city is the best proof 1 can of;
fer of uiy desire to elevate and pro>-;
mote t|m moral and material good
of the colored people, but,, I aid qot
ready to commit to their bunds the

this I grant ?y trod,’ both"W re- ,

best element of that party,, so far'as
my observation has gone, hftye never,
been able to control it. There were,
as many good men in the' Republi
can party in 1808-9 as there are’ to^
day, but they wre unable tp prevent
the excesses to, which that party,
went at'.that lame/ '

was uftable to do'sov Asit was then ,
so it is pow, the njajorityrqjf the (vo
ters of any parly fifoe ehareefry-Jti^

It is true l(i this city and elsewhere,'
so far as Lean see, that the best ele

able to lead their race. . Hence I am
afraid for governmental affairs to
fall into their hands. Not ftom any -
ill will tot them, but from conacien- .
tjous copviptions, ‘- -i ’ .,
For these reasons I do not favor
the organization of the TKirdparty,
and would warn Democratic North
Carolina for participating in the '
same. We have made rapid strides,
in this State in educating our people
foC prohibition, and if we will stand
by our party, we can advance still'
fuHiher,Hut if we go into . the,.
Third party, and in so doing weak-/
eu the Democratic party and cause
its defeat, we shall do the cause of
prohibition lasting harm and bring '
upon ourselves and posterity great '
shame, with the possibilities of bur
dening us with hardships grevions •
indeed, //
1 have been induced to say this be
cause 'of my great concern for the
cause of prohibition as well as my
interest in the success of the Demo* •
cratic party. Without regard to pan*
tv, I have stood side by side with
those of my friends engaged in the
Third party Movements in former
contests to suppress the evils of in
temperance, and with all my heart
and soul I am called to go into a:
movement, the result of which can
only be harm to our cause, and pos
sibly place"the State of North Caro
lina in the hands of men that l am ,
unwilling should control it, and alpo
place this nation back in the power
of .the party that oppressed ns for
twenty yearn, and nnder whose reign
so many trusts and combinations
were formed to grind the, poor and ,
helpless; making tnefew richer: and
the many poorer—a party that' had
so little regard for the overbnrdeoxd
tux-payers of this country as te> de
clare for free whiskey, instead ■ al
providing for hungry mouthsv Wtf
clothed bodies and shelterless, fanaie
lies. When I am asked toito* my
back on the Democratic party, that
has stood as the great bulwark hi the* ■
white people of the South, from tha
humiliation and degradation ta ,
Which bit'ter hatred at the North
would hare subjected us. When I
am asked to do this my answer for
myself and all whom I eauiuttuenco '
is, Aro.
I call upon my brethin** of the
Temperauce cause in North Carolina
who are considering this matter of 1
who have thought of joining with
Third party .to stop—look ahead—
see the danger of such a course. And
then let us determine to stand by
the Democratic party and contend
for prohibition as we have been do
ing, N. B. Bruuohton.
