I reckon God did call nil the preachers into thy ministry, but I be* Here he called some of 'em to keep 'em out of devilment. There is no reason on earth or in hell why every man should not be a faithful Christian. It is easier to tell the troth than it is to tell a lie. All a fellow has to lo to tel| the truth is to open his mouth and oat it comes. But to tell * He, he must ram back the truth and pump out the lie. We hear people sing:.

This declaration of the. Synod is n relation to the Liquor Traffic, rheline of demarkation is drawn to ndicate where the business of the :hunch ends, and where the public mpemsion of the affairs of the body politic begins. We think the distinction timely, rhat the line is wisely drawn. On the restrained license and pro miscuous use of liquor, there, can hardly be two opinions. Of the uecesiij ior a sinci ana proper sur reliance of the liquor traffic, there ire not many to dispute. But a Confession that the laws of Llie land, the public sentiment of the people, and the quickening sense of our institutions are not sufficient to deal with a matter of police regu lation, without the influence and interference of the Church ns a body, stimulated by the zeal of de votee, concentrated upon an idea of en tense morality, is to admit that civil government is a failure. That the people are incapable of self-government. That the chart of civil liberty ought to be blotted out. and religious control assume the direction of the affairs of human government. The separation of Church and State, has been esteemed as thesaving feature of the American system of Government. Tile declaration for civil and religious liberty was what united the widely divergent Colonies in their strength against the oppres sion of Great Britain, when the Pu ritan, Baptist, the Lutherian. the Catholic, the Episcopalian and the “rascally Presbyterians." (as Gover nor Tryon styled them in North and South Carolina) united as ft com mon body of patriots, to resist the aggression of tyranny. In all the contest!, tlm have occurred a,in our State over this’ question “what shall we do with the liquor traffic” our apprehension lues been that the Church might fatally fasten itself the feature political organization. That in enteringthe arena of political reform Ministers and church mem bers might besmirch themselves in the mire of polities. Our forefathers emphatically re pudiated every claim and pretention of an established Church. They declared that “ns long as water runs and grass grows" there should he no Church control over the civil affairs of this country. ' They nom inated it in the bond that principles of the Spanish Inquisition should never ho left here, and that the work of the rack and wheel should lie unknown in free America. LET TEE WOMENGO. rpn ir i |-UTim, The Charlotte Democrat nsks the following (pioetion; - ' Is it not n big mistake to invite females to political speaking* in buildings where there is not room enough for voters? The ‘‘dear nrenttirex" cannot vote, and when they occupy the space of a voter it is that much loss to the Demo cratic party ill an argumentative point of view." Not a bit of it. A political meeting is v*»ry much -dike an nni u^bus -thete’s always room for one more, nnd we have-rarely found it the case that a speaker had to complain of too much crowd in front or around about him. Tlicu. loo, js there not a deal 'of 'injustice ill closing the doors of public me.t ings upon women simply because they are not voters? They are members of society,wives and moth ers—or intend and expect to be— with a position to sustain and child ren to rear in the fear of God and the exercise'of good citizenship, and it is only right that they should be informed of the principles of gov ernment and the issues dividing the people into parties. Besides, the, great difficulty has hitherto been to get Democrats to attend campaign speakings; bat let ns invite “lovely women,” and the matrons will see to it tiiat their husbands go, while the maids will draw the young men after them with an ir resistible attraction for surpassing the discussion of 47 per cent taxa tion on all the necessaries of Ufa' It is true, this lovely non-voting part of our population suffer now and then for their patriotic interest in public affairs. Not long since a charming young girl (one of per haps half a dazen of her sex pres ent) sat near the writer in the Democratic meeting, am] our inter est 5n the political proceeding speed ily became, lost in our contemplation of her silent suffering. For the fgy minutes there was ak expectant look upon her surest face, hnt as the speaker got down to "hard pan,” and crunched up the leaves, and releved in the prosfiic statistics of he tax on trace-chains and the 8113,292,043,27J cents sur plus in the Treasuary, there was a hopeless droop to the corners of the pretty mouth, unutterable weariness hud taken possession of the lovely eyes; and the nervous flutter of the heart and the impatient tap of the lit tle foot on the floor, said as plainly as words could speak; “Sold by thun der!'' When the orator closed with "I will not detain you any longer,” the tasteful lace fixings at the del icate throat heaved with a deep sigh of relief, and the fresh air of heaven that struck her flushed cheeks at the outer door welcomed a glad bird out of a cage, if ever there was one S. B. ALEXANDER IN LENOIR. The President of the Alliance Talks Political Truths to Farmers. ! (Kinston Free Press.) He said that there was something wrong somewhere as shown by tha organizations, the farmers into Granges and Alliances, the mechan ics iuto Knights of Labor. It is our duty to find out what is wrong. There is not much difference in the condition of agriculture anywhere. The farmers of the West are as bad off as we are here. The farmers of Kansas are mortgaged up worse than we are. We find the jails, asylumns and poor-houses over-run. We must find out how to remedy these evils with which we are burdened and vote to protect our interests. He then touch ed upon the tariff, and said that President Cleveland has made the re duction cif the tarff the paramount issue. His explanation of the oper ation of the present unjust tariff rates was plain and very easily un derstood. He showed how great a burden it is to. all except a few pro tected manufacturers. He said that except for the Repub lican high tariff Dundee bngging could be imported and sold here for 5 eeuts a yard. The bagging trust was sprung on us just at tne time of gathering the crop, the jute bagging manufacturers knowing it would take four months before this Dun dee bagging could be imported. He belevea the Democrats were thor oughly honest in trying to crush out monopolists and trusts. When we take into consideration that most of the members of these trusts are Re publicans we can easily understand why llluinc declares trusts are pri vate uffairs with which the public has nothing to do. Happiness and Contentment cannot go hand in hand if we look on the dark elite of every tittle obstacle Nothing will ho darken life and make it a burden as Dyspepsia.— Acker’s i>yn pepsin Tablets will core the worst furm of DyHpepwn, Constiiiation and Indi gestion. and make lire a happiness and pleasure.

It wonti be t> sin and ft burning ■eproach jj for the Democrats of SJorth Carolina by apathy, or spite, iron account of local prejudices, ealousiesf or disappointments, to et the Republicans again get con ;rol of the State., How would our people reconcile it to themselves, f by their indifference and apathy :he electoral vote‘of North Carolina ihould go to HarrisOn and Morton? What have they to gain by such a :ourse? Nothing, absolutely noth ing. But, on the other hand, much to lose; the one great issue of this lampaign would be retarded for years. Alt other Issues are of minor importance and subordinate *f this great economic question of bread and meat for the people— cheaper and better clothing for the masses. In other words, the great issue presented to the American people is, “Should the necessaries of life be emancipated from-the bond age of monopoly, and the baneful and hurtful influence of trusts?” Sir Francis Bacon said; No peo ple overcharged with tribute is fit for empire.” -'4- ‘ me 1.1 it in mneiiui u»ci charged with tribute? Let the mighty voice of the surplus millions of the people’s money daily and hourly accumulate in the Treasury ' at Washington, answer; let the sweating brows, the weary mucles and the heavy hearts of the thous ands of our countrymen from whoso toil and hard earnings these millions are wrung, say whether they are ovet taxed; let the cry of poverty and want and suffering and distress seen and heard on the streets of out cities and in many parts of the land say whether the many are taxed for the benefit of the few. No Republican leader of respecta bility and intelligence dures to go before the people and justify this enormous taxation which is imposed upon the country under the present Republican tax laws but, on the contrary, they concede (since the passage of the Mills bill) that there should be a reduction of the reven ue, and a reformation of. the tariff laws. If they are sincere in this, why is it the Republican party has not, long years ago, either of its own motion or in conjunction with the Democratic party, which has been demanding such a reduction, formulated and enacted into a law, a schedule of tariff rates and duties which would relieve the people of the enormous taxes now imposed upon everything they wear and a great deal of what they eat? The difference between the Demo cratic and the Republican party on this issue is simply this: The Ile~J publican party is in favor of a tax — levied in the interest of the mamiT__ . facturer, and it is for the people to say at the ballot box whether they are for or against themselves. I feel the same interest in the Te sult of the pending election as is common to every other American citizen who is neither a candidate nor an aspirant for political prefer ment, and I express it as my deliber ate judgement, at the welfare of the people at large, and the general prosperity of the country, would bo greatly enhanced and promoted by the re-election of President Cleve land; and from my personal know ledge of affairs in North Carolina for the past twenty years, I unhesi tatingly state that, in my opinion, the defeat of the Democratic party in the present election wonld he a greater culumity in the State than famine, pestilence und food all com bined. Yours very truly, John N. Staples.
