SEPTEMBER 3. 1891 The Zeitusg says that Prince Bis marck is afflicted with drowsiness and is losing his memory. Ah! that some for tunate man could rind it. Col. Polk's organs act mighty sore if incorrect statements concerning him are not corrected at once. But when has the Progressive Farmer ever retracted its allegations concerning Congressman Oates. founded on a bogus interview ? The finding of the coroner's jury in the Statesville trauedv is rather a curi ous one. After putting the blame for the accident on a mislaid rail, the jury go on to censure the company for what, from the jury's point of view, had nothing whatever to do with the loss of the 32 livesprovided a rail was taken out as thev say. it was, however, proper per haps that there should have been some attention paid to the rotten tics. IF Gen. Dryenlurth (singular name in this connection) can bring rain in south ern New Mexico in May or June he will convince thousands of the tremendous value of his explosions. The rainy sea son sets in about July 1st in New Mexi co, and we doubt il there is any record of rain falling during the two preceding month on the Atlantic slope of the Rockies in the southern part of that ter ritory. Thkre will be of course an entire sus pension of judgment as to the blame for the tragedy near Statesville on the West ern North Carolina railway until all doubt as to the cause is removed. The first assertion that a rail had been re movedseems incredible, but such tiend ishness has been perpetrated before. and in all probability, will be again. That the accident was caused bv rotton ties is im probable, but the assertion will be inves tigated by competent authority and de cided without prejudice. The State University management is sending to the newspapers from time to time bits of news calculated to keep the affairs of the University before the people. This is praiseworthy. But in a circular, part of which we print today, occurrs this sentence: "The department is decidedlv au fait." While that may be the fact, we venture to suggest that to convey information about the University for popular comprehension, ;the English language still remains the one medium for which the people have any use in their daily walk and conversation. Foreign words and phrases are out of place un less they convey shades of meaning that cannot be conveyed in any other way. Thirty yards from the bridge one rail was taken up and spiked down so that one end fitted towards the direction from which the train was coming, and the other end was placed out about three inches from the end ol the rail to which it was fastened before.

Georsre Hoean, an Ann Arbor, Mich., aeronaut, whilemaking an ascension here Saturday lost his grip on the bar when 1,000 feet up. He fell head downward striking on a sidewalk. The force was so treat that two-inch planks were broken. Blood spurted 100 feet from the corpse. Every bone in his body was broken and bis bead smashed to a jelly. Accidents likttthe above are of almost weekly occurrence, and yet we read that at the Southern exposition at Raleigh it is proposed to lead out an aeronaut or two and butcher him to make a North Caro lina holiday. that his was the best plan that had ever been presented. To find fault with his deductions would have required the ex perience of at least one trip towards the same points Lieutenant Peary wm headed lor, and we believe there was no criticism from any quarter of his theories. But how unsafe arc most north pole pre dictions! Peary has been heard from. In Melville Bay he broke his leg. On July 20 it looked as though the expedition must be u bandoned, so hardly pressed was the Kite, Lieutenant Peary's vessel, in the ice. But ulv 23, an opening was found and the Kite escuped. Off Cape Peary the vessel was nearly lost in a ter rific gale. A lew days later she went uaiwtrs Kilt WHS floated airain. A letter in the New York Herald from St. Johns, N. F., the Kite having returned, leaving Peary behind, tells of other incidents ol the trip: "All explorations south of Godhaven on return journey were prevented by heavy weather and scarcity of coal. So much coal was used up in fighting the ice that Peary will possibly be lelt with only seven tons lor winter. This will be barely sufficient for cooking and heat- "Professor Heilprin found the altitude of the ice cap near the camp twenty-lour hundred feet, and the party must take sledges and supplies up the glacier to its height before baginning the trip. It the partv is detained on the ice cap a few weeks there will be danger of starving, as no food can be secured after the start.' What will be the end ol Peary's trip? Probablv the death ol more than one ol his party. The Herald says: "If a relief expedition is not sent next year the outfit will be in a bad way." In other words, more valuable lives must be risked to rescue Peary and his wile, all of his calculations having so far proven incorrect. He may yet return, it is true, covered with glory, but the chances appear plainly against that. Whether he deserves to or not may, in j part, be iudger bv this from the Herald's letter: I "Dr. Keelv, the ship's surgeon, tried to buv an Eskimo child at Cape York, but though the natives were destitute and sadlv in need of wood and weapons, they could not be prevailed on to sell one ol their children." of the advocates of the sub-treasury bill. Down in his heart he distrusts the bill himself and admires the old party for calling a halt till this new candidate for consideration at the hands of the plat form makers can show at least demo cratic credentials and some trace of dem ocratic pedigree or education. If there is a third partv the democratic party will not be responsible lor it, will not be the cause ol it, will have given no excuse whatever for its existence. The men who make the third party will be responsible for it they and they alone. That responsibility thev cannot evade if they woald. They may leave the demo cratic party. But they will never be driven from it; will never be refused the full expression of their opinion inside the party, with frequent opportunity to test the possible growth of sentiment in their direction. Can they lairly ask ready up and any attempt to force them much higher will have some effect akin to that which England created when alarmed once before by over high prices, as Mr. Depew points out. The orobabilitiea are, however, that there is much .more to fear from the greedy speculator than from the farmer with little ready money and, in too many cases, already in debt. Europe's Demands). As to our wheat and corn crop there continues to be much speculation, all ol it of interest. It secmsto be generally conceded that we have tone of the largest crops and that it will bring a high price. It should be remembered, however, that the effects of this situation on business in general will hardly be felt for some months yet. The New York World says: "Taking things at the best, the wheat crop of Great Britain will hardly reach an average of 72,000.000 bushels. It is easv to find wheat operators who say that it will not yield more than 60,000, 000 bushels this vear. but this is proba blv under the estimate. Even when England produces 72,000.000 bushels, she must import 140.000,000 bushels more to teed her own population. Her principal sources of supply ure America.

Reports seem to indicate that the ar ticle in this column on last Saturday re garding the Lyceum society has stirred up several of the good brethren of the organization. That is too bad. I cer tainly never intended to bring down such great s wads of rcprool as have been poured upon me this week. Aud to make things more uncomfortable the Lyceum people have a chance of whacking mc fore and aft throughout the week while I can mutter only on Saturdays. Ot course, though, I am thankful lor even that. And besides nil this. I have been taken to task by "One of the founders of the Lyceum," who surelv knows just exactly when and where and how and why the Lyceum was founded. That, 1 admit, I do not know. In my article last week I spoke only of what had come under my observation for a time past. "A Founder" begins his article by saying that "we are sorry that now Hnd then freaks of intellect iu these meetings so annoy Mr. Tattler." Coining from a founder, that must be an honest confes sion. Freaks of intellect! Well! Freaks are usuallv to be found in sideshows. Then "A Founder" quotes what a lady told him on the night ol the discussion in question, in reply to a query as to what she thought wf the Lyceum "It is a queer thing." That is wnat I thought aud said last week. And I am here this week to repeat and insist that what I said then goes as my opinion yet. I spoke for myself alone, but I am resting comfortably in the in stinctive idea that the course I took was the right one, and in the belief that the bulk of the conscientious christian people look at the matter just as 1 have. 1 am charged with being oversensitive.

Before leaving Lieutenant " Peary outlined bis plans, showing that it was impossible he should fail, and Americanisms. The London Times in a highly appreci ative and, in the main, sympathetic no tice of James Russell Lowell, says: Mr. Lowell seemed to know every thing and to have his knowledge always ready to hand; he was quick in repartee; he mixed anecdote with reflection in the ha nniest manner: he laughed at others' jests, and thev laughed at his. Still, one . . ..... i i :.u u: 4.. bad to be a little careiui kuu mui, thprp nrrrp nnints on which he was tremelv sensitive. Nobody, lor" exam ple, must talk in his presence of " Ameri canisms." or hint that the standard ol language and literature observed in America showed any aenection iruiu mc best standard of the rare." It may be in point to suggest that the reason why Mr. Lowell did not allow the charge the Times mentions to go un challenged was because it was not alto gether true. Language is a matter ol constant growth, and Lowell was prob ably better equipped, by his own daily speech as a matter of example and by his complete knowledge of the speech of a large number of his cultivated country men, to combat the idea that the guardi ans of the English tongue were to be found wholly in England. Indeed, the Times itself says: "With him there passes away one ol the very few Americans who were the equals of any son of the old world ol any Frenchman or any Englishman in that indefinable mixture of qualities which we sum up, for want of a better wor J, under the name of culture." As to "Americanisms," the English crit ics of today are always getting them selves into hot water by citing what they frequently term American vulgarities of speech and writing. A large proportion of what the English reviews call "Amer icasisms" have been found, with like meanings, in the writings of some of the hrt Rntrliah authors, forcotten. it is true, by the smart writers of the Satur day Review and the Spectator, but there nevertheless to plngue our critics when recalled by students like Lowell and Richard Grant White. by a large majority, a vote of censure on the ministers. But in defiance of the uniform tule, since the government had been established they rctused to resign. The ordinary sitting of congress ends in ninety davs. Important matters of mu nicipal reform, such as giving the, towns the rignt to elect their own officers, in stead of receiving them from the presi dent, had been promised by both houses.

The Citizen, of course, came out both davs in extra edi tions, with lull reports from the wreck, up to the time of going to press. This good old town was surprised at the idea of such a thing, but I notice that the ex tras went like hot cakes. The people will recognize enterprise and thrift in a very short while. A Question of Responsibility. "The leaders of the old parties will be responsible for the third party if there is one." No other sentence is so often in the mouths of the leaders of the Alliance. It has been reiterated from Texas to Min nesota. Nevertheless the statement is untrue, both on its face and as a matter of tact. The two old parties can be held responsible each for itself only. Neither will make a third party from choice. Neil her will fail to hold its full voting strength if possible to do so. To charge that the democratic party is in any sense responsible for a third party that is to say, is the cause for its existence, when it has any is to say that the democratic party refuses to follow Col. Polk and his kind or be advised by him; that it is sim ply true to its traditions, modified only by experience and such demands of the times as modified conditions in the polit ical, commercial and financial world sug gest. The democratic party it a party of growth, but not one to be changed radically over night by men ptac- tically unknown in the party's councilsl untried in any political faith, the Genera Master Workmen Terreuce V.

Balmaceda issued a proclamation declaring that he was una ble to carry on the government according to the constitution, and therefore by vir tue of his own will he would dispose of the public funds and run the army and navy without regard to theconstitution, congress, or the laws af the land." Congress, through its "conservative committee" fourteen members who, in Chili, have the power of congress when it is adjourned declared the office of president vacant and appealed to the people for aid. The navy went with the Congressional party and the whole world knows the result. The new gov ernment has but to be conservative to win universal support and command the respect and favor of all nations. Dictators are. at all events, but of fashion. The Gold Tide will Come Roll ing" Back. Chauncey M. Depew has traveled nearly all over Europe and is confident there is a huge deficiency in the old world's crops. Our own crop meaning wheat and corn he thinks is the largest for ten years. He also thinks: "If this magnificent abundance is not interfered with by locul speculators, locked up in 'corners,' America will this vear get back all the gold that has come to Europe in consequence of the excess of exports. It will go back to America to pay for grain. "But it all depends on whether the speculators let the crops alone. The last great 'corner' cost the Uuited States $300,000,000. We can recover it all if this year's prosperity is allowed to de velop in a normal, natural wuy. Let speculation stand back and wealth will pour in upon us. The farmers will huve plenty ol money to improve their lands, build new barns and buy more supplies. This will give the manufacturers more to do, and the wage workers will share the general plenty. Railroads will reap a golden harvest, employing more men, and more side tracks will lie built, in creasing the work of the mines and iron miliS. YVCUII.II Will piwu tuivMgu the whole Dcoole.

"When the great 'corner' existed the last time British capitalists were fright ened. The price of labor and the price of food go hand in nana, i ne manuiactur ers said. 'If we allow ourselves to remain in the grasp of remorseless speculators, banded against ns, tney may mane us nay S2 a bushel for wheat, or even $3.'

Trying to Boom tbe Xnlrd Party From a Kaleigh Letter. L. L. Polk, the Alliance president and J. C.

Scarborough declared in the most positive terms that k was first of all a democrat and an alliance man afterwards, and that be would never go in the third party, Come hat may. be asserted that he would have nothing whatever to do with it.

A WOMAN'S RHYMES AND REASONS There is one kind of folly in which mes far surpass the more cautious sex. It is in the over indulgence of an inordinate capacity for work. There are hundred of men in the United States today cutting from both ends of tbe loaf with ruthless prodigality ; hundreds sleep in the graves they have made for themselves with pen brush or whatever Jhey used to earn a living. Earn a living? Pitiable para dox! How often it is, instead, earn a hitrial. Men think they practice this particular folly for a score ot praisewor thy purposes: "To lay by for a rainy day." What matters it if the rain falls, ps a torrent, upon troubled graves? To give added comforts to wile ana children." What is comlort to loving ones who see clearly, but are unable to arrest, the rapid progress of husbaud and lather toward invalidism or inc cemetery ? Bui why repeat ttiese empty excuses? They are, after all, bt the smooth sophisms of an uneasy conscience. Men overwork with this perverse short sightedness for purely selfish motives. Why do women so seldom follow their examples? Are they too far seeing, too conscientious, or, perhaps, too indolent ? If a woman can't be satisfied with her own face, why doesn't she go and have it made over, as she would an old gown, by an expert and connoisseur, instead of touching it np with water-colors, char coal and execrable taste, before her mir ror placed, perhaps, in a bad light ? : MAUAUEM A Y KO VER."" 1 : FADED FACES RESTORED ALTERA-: j TIONS, IF DESIRED EYEBROWS AND : j DIMPLES TO ORDER.
