The Opinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others "which we Can Endorse on the Various Topics of the Day. The New York Legislature is Democratic audit looks as If (Jov. Hill will Hucceed "Evarts" in the Senate. The vulgar Cannon of Illinois lia i beou Hpiked. He will not fire off his billings-gate in the next House and cause the ladies to Uy from the galleries insulted and disgusted. In Indiana, President Harrison's own Stale, half the townships in the State i.i their returns show an average Democratic gain of 20 to the township. This will make the State Democratic by about 20,000, The I)er.:ocrut-i elect 11 out of 13 Congressmen. The Legislature will be Democratic on joint ballot by GS. The country can not indorse Har rison's administration of favoritism and class legislation. Ihe people have spoken their condemnation of such unfair law making, at the polls, and from ocean to ocean their voice has been heard. The present House, at the adjourn ment of the first session, was com posed of 17- Republicans, I'd Demo crats and 1 Independent, there be ing several vacancies caused by death. Of the members gained by the Democrats 30 are from States north of Mason and Dixon's linCj It now looks as if the next House of Representatives would stand Democrat?, 23G; Republicans, 90. This will give the Democrats more than two thirds of the House. When the present Congress passed 1 he McKinley bill and showed its favor for the Force Bill it fired the magazine which blow the Republi can parly into a hopeless, helpless minority. The country has repudiated the Force Bill and the McKinley tariff Bill at the polls. McKinley has b: en defeated and the Democratic majority in the next Congress will he more than one hundred. Heavy Democratic gains were made in the North and Noithwcst. In Kansas the Farmers' Alliance holds the balance ot power and it appears that Senator Ingalls will not be returned to the Senate. Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Michigan,' Nebraska and Wisconsin have all gone Democratic. There has been-a great tidal wave in these states a condemnation of the iast Congress which for disgraceful con duct and unjust laws stands with out a parallel. The great tidal wave ot d . mocra tic success that swept over the coun try Tuesday brought more real rejoicing to the country than any- hing winch has occurred since the election of Cleveland and Hendricks in 1881. Democratic faces are over spread with smiles, and who has a better right to smile, while the re publicans, who are frightened clean out of their boots, go around with eo-begone faces and make no at tempt to explain the condemnation which the voters of the country have placed upon. Ihe administra- ion and upon the republican ma jority in Congress for its action in giving the people a batch of the most 'unpopular laws over turned out at a single session of Congress, opped off with the worst of all, the McKinley tiriff law, the weight of which has been felt by everybody, although it is only a month since t became a law. The Progressive Farmer Is mak ing a mistake, a mistake that puts members of the Alliance all over the State to soms extent in a false light; but it is a nistake that will damage n- one as much as tho pa per itself. Tho paper has done a great deal of good in North Carolina, it waked up the people and put them to thinking, but that is all any pa per can do, for the people think for. themselves. The people, and Alliance people as that, have thought the Vance matter over and have rendered their verdict, a ver dict decided by Alliance votes. That verdict is, that there is not a man in North Carolina who is better able or who will defend the people's rights and advocate their pause more zealous and honestly in the Senate of the "United States than Z. B. Vance. In the Democratic caucus of the next "Legislature he will be nominated on tho first ballot if not by acclamation. If he should fail to do this, then the people vill condemn him A ith tbesaraestrength with which they have loved and trusted him. TORCHLIGHT PHOCKSSIOS And Jollification at HarreH Store-ltosiu Burned and - Speeches Made. (Special Correspondence.? The old settlers in this xscth n say that nothing like the jubilee of hist Saturday night Was ever cci; in these parts before. The sheet lor a long distance was lighted on either side with blazing barrels of rosin. The people had gathered in from the surrounding country in full force and each one was vicing with the others to show that be was the gladdest over lha people's victory. Mr. Marion Butler, the Seiiato: elect from this district, who had been, itfvited to speak on I he occa sion, arrived. Amid enthusiasm he was escorted to the r.istruni. He said,you4'a e three cheers f-jr .But-, ler, but that Is not what you mean. Yot: mean three cheers for the peo ple's victory in- Sampson; throi cheers for the people's victory in Kansas; three cheers for the people's victory in Michigan, Minnesota, South Carolina and Pennsyvania; three cheers that the , eople have beaten McKinleyand Ingalls, and in so doing have triumphed over cor porate greed and the tyranny of money. Three cheers IVr the tri umph of truth and right everywhere. VThat does your victory mean? II're the, speaker went on to give the ele ments that entered into the contest, and showed why the people arose in their might and elected men who they thought would see that simple justice was done to all classes. In this county we have ben n divi ded among ourselves, yet both sides to-night rejoices over the great na tional victory that has put the pop ular branch of Congress in the hands of the people by over a hundred majority. The speaker then went on to show that the fight in Kansas, South Car olina and other States which gave such astonishing results was on the same line and for the same princi ples as the 'fight in this county. Then what have we been doing here in Sampson? We have bee.i playing the foo".. We have been fighting one another instead of joining together to fight the common enemy, or to a cer tain extent both sides h . ve been to blame. T..ere is no fight between the farmers and the merchants or professors, and the member of the Alliance, who, by his words or con duct, leaves that impression, slan ders he noble order, of which he is an unworthy member. The Alliance is fighting for great principles, and this great victory meansthe triumph of these principles, and the triumph of these principles means the pros perity of every man who is making! or trying to make an honest living. It means an honest government a government that will not put a few into pampered luxuryat the expense! of the many It means that every farming and laboring man of Samp son (as well as elsewhere) will get a just compensation for his labor and the products of his labor, and that the merchant and lawyer will pros per as he prospers. Then let us all come and reason together and fight a common fight for the common good. Thore were present a number who had been opposed to the Alliance. As Mr. Butler spoke they drew near er and listened, and, when he closed they all joined in the applause and cheers. The ladies presented the fpeaker with a large and handsome boquet which he accepted in a grace ful and appreciative terms. The crowd then called upon a half dozen or more gentlemen who were present, and in their short talks many happy hits were made. The crowd spied Mr. Frank Col well. They rushed to him, picked him up, car ried him to the stand and called lor a speech. . He did speak and to good effect. There was no speech that did more good. He said that there had been trouble between him and "the Alliance. That he had spent many sleepless nights as to what his duty was and how he should vote. But he faid that he voted for Butler and that after hearing his speech, that he now thanked God that ho had done so. Everything passed off sue cessfully and in the best of humor. The meeting has conciliated matters and done an untold amount of good. Neighbors will feel better toward each other and Alliance and non-A lliance men now understand each other and will hereafter work in perfect harmony for the common good of a common countrjv H. The uemocrais are tortuuato in having so much good material at hand to select the next Speaker of tho Ilottse from. Among the names already - mentioned are ; Messrs. Mills, Crisp, McMillan, Brecken ridge, (Ivy.) Bynum anu Springer. The idea seems general - that the speakership will go to the South. In that event it is abjiost certain that it will bo one ot the first four gentlemen above mentioned. n j t-i.ro Doiaoorney cixxd Wliito Ottiremnt-sy. CLINTON, N. C., THURSDAY,- NOVEMBER 13, 1890.

There comes a crisis in tli3 lives of most people when Rorrov." crowd so thick and fast that there ii a drear y fvitisaw: tion in the thought that "things cannot bo much worse." So felt Edna Crawfor.l, Mithijr with bowed head and shaken iiottcs, on the train that Is bearing her onward to tlio bedside of her dying father, clw bitter ly regrets ever having left him, ar;sl tor tures herself with wild pictures of the sufferings he .may have endured at the unscrupulous hands of Dr. Watson. So felt Edna Crmcford, sitttn-j - r. Hh bowed hcrul. ' For this man, so inextricably entan gled with tho sorrow and disgrace that are connected with her past life, she feols a deep and relentles, loathing. It was through his persecutions she was forced to leave her father's side, and remem bering this, her yoitng f sco wears an ex pression of such intense, hatred that it attracts the attention of the lady occu pying the opposite chair. This lady had quietly entered the ear by one door a3 Henry Heiishall, power less in the grasp of Detective Burns, was ejected through the other. She was dressed in an elaborate light silk gown, totally inappropriate for trav eling, and over a dainty little theatre bonnet was pinned a heavy dark veil that completely covered her face. Beneath the veil was the tear stained countenance of Lena Henshall, who had been aroused by the tragic expression of Edna Crawford's face into thinking there was perhaps soma one else as unhappy as herself. Two houra before, when Henry lien- shall left his young wife for the pursuit of his fascinating ideal, Lena had wan dered aimlessly up and down her little parlor, a prey to bitter meditations. Sick at heart from brooding over her hus band's neglect and the thoughts of a lonely and loveless future, she called Mrs. Smith and announced her inten tion of passing the evening at the thea tre. At the sight of tho girl's tear stained face Sirs. Smith wisely hold her tongue, but the cynical smile that played about her thin lips caused young Mrs. Henshall to feel for her trusted com panion a sudden hot dislike. When Mrs. Smith left to make some preparation for accompanying her Lena threw herself on the bed in a paroxysm of bitter weeping. Eer thoughts turned longingly toward her father, to whom ehe had always gone for advice and sym pathy, and with theso thoucrhta cama the sudden determination to go to him without delay. She knew that Banker Hartman was then in Chicago on an im portant financial mission, and summon ing a bell boy sho procured a time table and found that with haste she could catch the 8:30 Chicago express. She thrust a few articles into a vabse, and leaving a brief message for Mrs. Smith to tho effect "that she had de cided to go cut alone and not to wait up for her," she stepped into a cab and was soon at the Union depot. She purchased her ticket, securing the only remaining section on the train, and before she had time to realizo the importance of the step she had taken she was - whirling away en route for Chicago. ' - Lena was suddenly brought back to the consciousness of her position by the porter, who was collecting the compart ment tickets preparatory to making up the berths for the night. Edna, who in ths haste of her depar ture had neglected to secure any sleep ing section, now found that everything had been previously engaged and that the only alternative to sitting up all night Was an uninviting looking loungo at the end of the car. Mrs. Henshall, who had been attracted by the girl's de spairing face, stepped forward and of fered her the other berth in her own compartment. -. - - ' ''..'.' - .;.' Edna accepted gratefully and warmly thanked her unknown companion for her courtesy. As she moved from the seat her foot touched a small, dark object lying on the floor close to her chair. It was a leather card case, stamped with initials "H. E. H." . - ' Witha view to discovering the 'owner Edna opened it, and extracting one of the bits of pasteboard read aloud, "Mr. Henry Rowan - Henshall, New York tT.".-.:rv:v':v"''vr- i "Why, this must have been dropped by the gentleman-who spoke to me just as the tram was leaving San Francisco," she said. . Lena had grown deadly pale. "Tho gentleman who spoke to you'f she ques tioned faintly. - ." .

When tho Cually retired for the night it was with tlio pleasing knowledge that in the berth above her, by ber own invitation, lay the girl who was the cause of her hus band's indifference and probably tlio poswsxor of her husband's love. How long ehe tossed about in her narrow btrth, wakeful and miserable, Lena never knew. Just as mereiftd fehjep was closing her weary eyelids there came a sadden jar, then a horrid crash, a shriek that rent the air, a blow upon her head that made a hideoils glare of light, .nd then ilarkntss absolute and ' blessed uacoa- Bciousness. . The papers of the following day were filled with the ghastly details of the awful railway accident near B . Tho names of the surviving passen gers, together with a list of the killod and wounded, were published, but the name of Edna Crawford, alias Louise Neville, did not appear in any cf these accounts, nor did the strictest and most diligent inquiries throw any light on the complete and mysterious disappearance of this young woman. ' - XIL CONCLUSION. By BILL KYU Illustrated SPEAGUE. by W. H. CoryrigUt. All right3 rose rroL Across the peaceful bosom of the great plains no sound disturbed the night save now and then when at long intervals the shadowy figure of a coyoto crossed au aisle in the sage brush, and opening his snapping, drooling jaws gave forth that justly celebrated dietonic scale of his which is so well calculated to call out the goose pimples even on the death mask of Methuselah. Even the wind trod coftly over the scorched and withered grass, and the well lubricated moon stole in and out among the clouds without a creak, with the exception of Bitter creek, of course, which laved its alkali shores in the eter nal solitudes, and bleached still whiter, as the years went by, the snowy bones of those who once had sought to invade this great undertaking establishment of nature this petrified hush of centuries. But what sound is this that gently bea3 nrn the tense drum of the hsten er's ear? The distant jar and gentlo palpitations of a coming train from the west! Scarcely do we hear tins and catch tho yellow twinkle of a headlight when an other muiiled roar from the east and a little crawling light growing rapidly out of the dusk and distance swallow the intervening miles, and in a Cash the two screaming, snorting, panting monsters have met like mail clad giants in a mighty tournament. Come to tho bridal chamber. Death : Come to the mother rhen she feels For the first time tor first bora's breaUi; Corns '.Then the blessed eeals - Which close ths pestilence are broke,; And crowded cities wail its stroke. CoM j ia Consumption's ghastly form ! The earthquake's shock, the ocean's storm; Come when the heart lats high aud warm With banquet, song and dance and wine, And thou urt terrible. Tho tear, The groan, the knell, the pall, the bier, And all we know or dream or fear. Of a-ony art thie. But to the heart, where love is dead, Aud hope ia kneeling o'er ita bier, Thy face with joy is overspread, And so lights oat with bounding tread - The soul that only sorrowed here. When Lena awoke with this dull pain in her head she felt certain that sho was dead, and was almost ticklod to death to think that her sad heart would sorrow no more and that Harry was free; but almost at once came tho smell of hot varnish and the slight suspicion of an overdone jforter who ought to be turned over. 'Great Gawd," she said, as her breath came in brief pants, "tho car is on fire. I must go away." To a spectator who might have seen tho collision it would have seemed im- j possible that a living thing could come out of this terrible wreck and holocaust; but ere long a venerable apple worm crawled out of the cool side of a nice eating apple, and seeing that he cOuld be of no further use on board the train, came out of the car and slunk away in tho darkness.. Soon the cheerful car stove begins to get in its work, and the chaos of broken woodwork begins to burn, at first slow ly, then, as the swift winds of the plains eatch it, the red blaze leap3 out and greets the f lightened night with a cackling laugh. : , To go back io Mr. Crawford, at Chi cago, with the author is but the work of an instant. "v"' '. : - . ';: - D2. .WATSOy.';- ' ;."'''" , When Dr. Watson returned after send ing his lying telegram to Edna he found the house empty and the door locked, the, rhuttera draw?, and everything de serted. ; The reader, will ask how he knew that every one was gone when the door was locked and he could not get in, hut we must remember that he was in the hypnotism "business,; and could do things that other people might consider, difficult. sr Many a time as a boy he had hypnotized a watermelon dog and then belped himself to tho luscious fruit. He soon learned that Mr. Crawford had taken hia whole household, and witi light baggeg?ha4 &l fc tbo depot. ; He followed, rapidly, forrn-ittily caught ap 'with 'the troTU . Vojcaiainrs the rarty, for tb?y v-erc bridged andluj 'or m arly aa Lo-n; He tried to GMR. 4if 1 vvVi MR. Cru.WFOIlD. hypnotise Mr. Crawford, but t!w old man had shrewdly had himself vaccinated, and so he was safo. Thero was nothing for the doctor to do but to follow tho procession, for Craw ford hat! evidently heard that ku daughter was in California, and had re solved to go to her. For some time the doctor argued with the old man, feut without avail. He then tried to hypnotize the ticket office into giving him a lower berth, but the agent had been exposed when he was young, and so wasn't afraid of getting it now. Therefore Dr. Watson had to jump hurriedly on the rear platform as the train pulled out and sleep in the smoking car with his front teeth resting heavily on his knees all tho livelong night. In iko drawing room of a pleasant and airy Bleeping car supplied with electric bells and a thermometer was a buffet, the sandwiches in which emelled like lower eight, while lower eight got even by smelling like a corned beef sandwich, and hero sat Mr. Crawford and Miss Brown. Below is given a picture of Miss Brown. Her namo was Cclia Brown, but her friends called her Ceil and Brown with an air of badinage which brought a rosy flush and sweet bright smiles to her fair face. The artist- has happily caught this emile with his little catch-as-c&tch-can camera. The picture was originally a full length figure, but owing to the pressure on our advertising space and a note just re ceived from the chief- of police we hato decided to condense the-portrait as much as possible. MISS BROWN. Briefly but truthfully and tearfully Miss Brown made a clean breast of her sorrowful slavery to Dr. Watson, the hypnotist, and on her knees she prom ised the old man that never again would she give him an opportunity to wield his ghoulish and disagreeable influence over her. As the fair head of the beautiful girl rested on his knee, and with trembling fingers he screwed np her Psycho knot a little tighter, so that it could not get muddy as tho spirited . roadster sped along tha track, he thought he had never saw so fair a being, taken all around, as ohe was. Mr. Crawford id ways U3ed the choicest English in his conversation, but occasionally his thoughts were ungram matical. - . "I also have a confession to make, dear one," he said. 'Prepare for a piece of information which you can hardly cred it, save that I, who am, or is, or are, as the case may be, the criminal, tell it to you mjipself. "Would you believe that I, who am your comrade on this journey, whose face is so refined, so spiritnelle, could have taken the life of Dr. Cronin? "Could you believe that I. a professor of religion and a werthy inside guard for two terms in the Little Bethel Inde pendent Order of Good Templars, No. 38,702, could have gone under the cover of darkness and with a bright new okwp knife cut into the nice warm vitals, of a neighbor, and then, with hiri hot blood spurting up my sleeve, hacked the dying man to pieces, put him in a shawl 6trap and carried him away to a sewer trap and concealed his dishevelled remains so that the police could not get on to my spoor? ' 4 "And yet for month? this terrible se cret has been prcj ing upon ray soul. Yesterday while Dr. Watwu was up town it occurred to mo that possibly I did not kill Cronin, and so, picking up a paper, I read that another man did it. Following up this germ of thought, I soon &Ls discovered that I waa abroad all tho year of the CrorJn lur-rder. I am now wondering if Dr. WaKn lias not been wielding an unholy influence over me which tho delightful climate of Cali fornia and some light stimulant like rye whiskv and opium may overcome. A nuick sob came from -the bowed form before bim. "Oh, Ephraim, thank God. You may bo able to prove yourself innocent after all," she said. She-had never called him" Ephraim before. He stooped and rwhispered a few low, passionate words in her ear. re.sihtju Her head bent lower aad a quick fiost of shrimp pink bathed face, neck aad shoulders. It was twit tao work of a Eiiient for Ephraim to call up a deefy bat clerical looking man in upper five, alio ia paja mas, who quietly slid down into the drawing room and in the presence of the Bleeping car conductor aad porter made the two man and wife. And what f Henry HenshilL he hero and artistic ass of this story? . Leaving his art to shirk for itself, and forgetting that he had promised on that very day to paint two: large bams for a party in OaklamL he fought madly for a place on the train in order to follow an tmknown flaxen ( haired fiddler,. f who Mil nr.t rsirvt ft nfc..fnr him at liist r.ri. Henry Henshall was not a bal imiaT but he needed some great enmity or serere concussion to jolt a little ssuks into him. That w" r'b Lifa bd beeu t smooth No. 6. with hisa. He aim xuntej gentra portraits of Beatrice Ccnci. which had beea accept 1 by th family and paid for, yet after all be noeded uomcthiniT that would almoc kill him. but not Quite. .This would, the doctor thought, knock tho talet&i out of him, aad give him an ambition to do aa he agreed and pay Lb debts. " Such an eidsoda wan la rtvtv fee him. For, by a strange fatality, thta train ha rode apoa a few night later (aktrdush Mr. Bantam, by a alight oversight, which is perfectly pardonable in a man AFTER TUT. WRECK. who has a large amount of stock to feed and water and bed down aix; take care of nights, places the accident on the first night out) crashed into the train which brought Mr. Crawford west in search of his child. On that fatal night Edna placed her violin in her berth, where it could not get overheated by the steam pipes, and then, letting down her angelic hair till it fell about her flight figure like a halo of molasses candy, she looked so sweet that the porter thoughtlessly swallowed pulow which he was holding in his teeth as he watched her skin up the steep ladder and plunge into her couch with a glad cry. Sho soon stuck her head uown into Mrs. Henshall's berth, however, and aaid tenderly: " "My dear friend, I do not know why, but I think I am going to die," and sho thoughtlessly quoted some line3 from tho deathbed scene in which Little Ev a gen tly glides up the flume at $2 a week in an "Uncle Tom's Cabin' company. I have saved quite a little fortune from my popular appearances before the public, and I wish you would give it to my father if I die." A quick sob came from the lower berth occupied by Mrs. Henshall. It was hers. She made it herself. "Nay, nay, my dear," she said, "if eyether die, let it bo I-or me, if that sounds better. Oh, let me die!" With that 6he moaned piteously, like a person who does not feel well. "Yes, dear lady," said Edna, handing her a crocheted purse containing 8.
