THE ORIGINAL SAM Some of the ruiiuy Thin-r. Parson ! ones baic. in I tell you one thing, you may i fool your uncles and daddy, but your Uncle Jones knows you. The srirl that wants to look pretty and nice, I an make a grander animal out of wax than any of you. 1 The average society girl is no more like God Almighty made her than if srje had been made by a Chinaman out of soft pine. Maybe some of you folks don't lite this collection business, j If you don't you had better stay away from the morning service and come out! in the afternoon. No collections are taken up then and I - reckon that's the best place for you paupers and old stingy devils. i Over 100 y ars ago the Meth odist church cut loose from the Episcopalians and jumped right up on "whosoever will," and they have stayed right there. The" old hard-shell Baptists split and the missionaries jumped at it but fell in the crek. I am just shelling the woods now to locate my crowd. And you are in the woods I'm shell ing, old fellow. I'll get you out bye and bye and I will give you a warm reception when you come out too. In the course of his sermon, Mr. Jones delivered another broadcast on the liquor ques tion. Take four characters one makes it one sells it, and one dies drunk on it. How can some of these go to hell and scjme not-t-if that could Be there is no justice in the skies.! A more consumate hypocrite don't walk the earth than the church member who rents a house to sell the stuff in. A number of "aniens." And the preacher who keeps such a member in his church ain't much better. Xow I'm cutting tie grit where it ought to be cut. If I had such a member in niy church I'd give him two minutes and a half to straighten the matter up, and if he didn't I'd kick him out. Tourgee's Pension. A Columbus, O., special says: " An order from Washington re ceived by Pension Agent Barger here instructs him to pay Judge Albion W. Tpurgee, the cele brated authorj of 'A Fool's Er rand,' a pension at the rate of $0 per month from 1803 to date, and thereafter at the rate of $30 per month., This will give him the handsome sum of $2,519.20. He is a sufferer of paralysis, and it will be recalled that he w s seeicmsr nealtn m the tonth when Jtidofe . . i " . his books were written. Toursree was : dropped irom tne pension roil years ago for, the reason that he was in the employ of! the Government, and is now restored with back 4- A pay Salted Almonds.

The Jour nal has secured the services of " gentlemen thoroughly j ac quainted with the export trade and with foreign markets,'' and witfi their help it is proposed to induce the foreigners to buy the products of American labor. This is altogether commend able. The Sun has ever thought that commerce is a good thing, and advocated production for the foreign market. If our man ufacturers were not protected by1 n almost prohibitive tariff they would, we have held; do a larger business, selling abroad as well as at home, and, con tenting themselves with a smal ler Tbut steadier profit, would be compelled to relax somewhat th throttling grip they have at present upon their victims in the! home market. That they are auusing ine uoiiuui ui ine home ;market secured to them the f tariff is abundantly shown ty the Journal's list of discounts upon articles sold to ill1' foreigners. In thirty-nine col umns oi illustrated aavenise- merits articles for sale abroad are enumerated, and prices are eriven both for this market! and fox trie : foreign j market. A shocking difference appears be tween what we pay for arti cles made among us and what the foreigner pays for these same articles. ; j i ' ! The lAmerican farmer will be concerned to know that tipon the drill, for which he pay $9, there is a "discount for export only" of 30 per cent., redubing the price to the foreigner to $GJ30. The same discount 'for export only'' is given on culti vators, plows, hay forks, ma nure forks and hoes. On rakes the foreigner must content him- st with an advantage overj the American of but 25 per cent. For a rake, for example, cost ing the American $32 the for eigner will pay as much as $24. But when it comes to braced st(jel garden rakes or lawn rakes the foreigner gets 76J per cent, off the price the American pays, jinat is to sav, raises that cost our John Smith $1 apiece are sold by our manufac- to the Mexican, French man or German for 30 cents!. Our ! farmer has to sell his grain to tne protected, manutac 1 , 1 1 I a urer at prices fixed in the for- eign market. If he could ibuv of at the protected manufacturer the'prices at which the latter Is to. the foreigner he would se get on these articles thei dis- eountsmamed : ! w agons and Carts, 331 per cent.: whililetrees, 45 ; wind mills, 25 hobs, GO; mattocks and grub spades and hovels, 50 : screws. 50 : i screw-drivers. 75 ; scales, 50 ; pumps, 70 : post- hoje diggers, 40 ; j oil paints 50 : brkls, i 0 : nailsj (57 J : ta'cks. 72 lawn mowers, GO : milk pans.

The tariff enables him, by shut tine: out foreign-made wares, to exact from his fellow citizens prpfits that are excessive to the extent of the discounts cited abovel He sells abroad at a fair price, because there he meets compe tition and must content himself wjth a fair profit; but Here, being "protected": by law from competition, he takes from the community, in addition to a fair profit, about all that the tariff allows him. He does not lower his prices to the American un der stress of competition with other manufacturers, but com bines with them and by means of a " combine," trust or other like device, keeps! his prices up lu! nie nignesL pussiuie noicn. The "discounts for export only" here cited have a postivs value fori the unprotected citizen that is to say, for nine-tenths of J the community.- They show how much too much he is pay ing for necessary articles, thanks to class legislation. They show also the wicked in justice of the protective system which j enables the manufac turer to sell high to the mail at home that votes him protection, arid low to the man abroad that pays no tax in his behalf .

The in sane asyium at tongue romte M 1 1 l T T A " . . nine miles from here, caugh fire at 11 o'clock and at 2 was a mass of flames, with no hope or saying the building rrom de struction. As near as can be cal culated from 100 to 150 in sane j inmates were caught in the building with no chance of their escape. The fire. lappa) raljus at the asylum was utterly inadequate to control the flames antl several steamers were for warded from here on a special tralin. ! The sights on ! th6 grounds surrounding the insti tution are horrible beyond de scription. Hundreds of j luna tics, male and female, j are grouped together jabbering ana in a frenzied condition. The nuns are making every effort t control them and allay; their fears, and as rapidly as possible the poor creatures are being re moved to places of shelter in the! neighborhood. At a few minutes past two o'clock a de ¬ tachment of the Montreal fire brigade arrived on the scene The excitement among the lu natics on the grounds finally became so great that a detach ment of the Montreal polic torce was nurriea out to assis the guards. There were; 1,30 persons in the asylum when the fire broke out. ; Hon. Sidney B. Alexander. The Manufacturers' RecorcJ says there are few men in ! North Carolina more worthy of their popularity in that State than Hon. Sidney B. Alexander, oJ! Mecklenburg County, a wealthy farmer, a courteous gentleman , and a large-hearted, clear headed man. Senator Alexan der has recently written; aboul; the! colored exodus from thai; State. He sums j up his opinior in these words: "The negro farm labor is the 'cotton labor of the South, and they will go into the Gulf States for tvtO rea sons. 1. They can get greater returns for their labor. 2. They are j a clannish race and fee safest where their race is in greatest numbers." Senator Alexander also predicts ! tha AT j 1 1 ill ' jNortn uaroiina win be num bered among the great manu f acturing States, and that her agriculture will conform to this, condition. j ! i Changed His Politics Maj. Thompson, master of th Illinois State Grange, and here tofore a pronounced Republican has turned Democrat. The; Chi cago Times says this signifies that Maj. Thompson has found J. xl - ' t z ! out ine meaning oi "revisio of the tariff and equalization o the ; duties," as that phrase l used by those Republicans wh run the party machine. He had supposed it meant a reduction of burdens and a leveling o j rf j i -i , tarin taxes aownwara, not up ward, lhe Mcivmley bill ha showed him his mistake. It has demonstrated, in connection with its general approval by the Republican press, that there ie no hope for any tariff revisior or reform outside of the Demo cratic party. j Sam Jones Talks to the Negroes. x uiiv s-uuu negroes were m the Tabernacle at Charlotte one afternoon last week to hear Sam Jones. It was a special meeting for negroes. In a town of 12,000 people,' such a sight was never before witnessed. Sam Jones talked to the negroes about stealing, lying, whiskey drinking and immorality. As long, he said, as the race sells its virtue for a spool of thread or ribbon it can never amount to much. The most striking scene ever witnessed was at the close of the sermon when Jones asked all those who were going to quit stealing, lying, whiskey drinking and immorality and hereafter lead a Christian life! to stand up. The entire throng rose in solid mass. Vote on the Westminster Confession There are 213 Presbyteries in all in the Presbyterian Churchl 103 of which have voted on tliQ question of revision of the Westminster Confession of Faith. Of this number 127 have voted in favor of revision, 61 have voted against it, and 5 have not voted at all. There are returns yet to come from twenty Presbyteries, and the in dications are that the final re suit will be a little short of two thirds f or rev ision. A defeat by such a narrow marerin would not be likely, however, to end the struggle, but rather to in spire the friends of progress to renewed efforts. Sale.
