The Opinion or The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Yarious Topics of the Day. Tbo average newspaper correspondent haa recently reaehad high water mtrk as a bold, reckless and malicious liar. When President Polk waa reoeatly in Kansas dlspatohee were sent oat to this State and other parts of the coantry, crediting him with using language to preposterous that the most prejudiced man could scarcely give credence to it They represented Polk aa apologizing before a Kansas audience for coinz into th .rh.rn arm. aavim that hm AiA so only that he might help to defeat the South. No sane man believed this when it waa published, and since the facts have come out all see that there was not The Baaae reporters represented tnat some or the old U mon soldiers had gotten proof that Ool. Polk had during the war. era elly mistreated some Northern prisoners and that they tried to take him from the stand and tar end feather h:m. This also tares out to bo equally false and malioious, completely without found Cloc. It is humiliating to see journ&l- em sinking to such degraded d ;pths. The organized money power that is cm- ploying and instructing thase correspon dents to mi3repro3oat tho Alliance and its offi ;ers, should have their hirelings to tell j,lau-jib'o lies at least; when yoa see such stuff published in thV Wtiaan prts-i do not be disturbed by it, simply wait a week and heir th-3 truth. An'l further, watch and see , which papors make the correction when the truth is presented to them which papers make the cor rectious freely und eAndidly and gladly. dome papers make tho corrections grudgingly and in an insinuating man ner. They are moaner than the papers that make no corrections at all. This applies not only to the abupe of your officers, but also to the misrepresenta tion f your measures. Only a few days since a dispatch was sent out from At lanta that the Georgia legislature, a ma jority of it being Alliance men, had re fused to endorse the Ocala demands. AH the papers published the reported tact ana commented on it. it row turns out that the dispatch was a wilful misrepresentation. Mark it 1 How many of the papers have made the correction, made it gladly,'- in the interest of truth and fair play ? We say to the farmers, beware cf such papers. And if this is proscription, make the most of it Sooner cr later publio opinion wil condemn aeweptpora that kuowingly and willfully misrepresent men and mea sures.

Weaver of Iowa t eevcral cf his appoiomeuts in the we.it las' week. He is a fluent, able and convincing speaker. His power over an audience is wonderful and bis defence of the position of the Alliance was un answerable. His speeches have been mnch misrepresented by some newspa pers. We take piesanre in saying that we endorse every sentiment to which he gave utterance. On Wednesday night ho left for his home in Des Moines. On Thursday we went to Lenoir in Caldwell county, not to speak, but - to organize the District Lecturer Bureau for the 8th District. However a crowd had gathered and called for a speech and we could not refuse. It was the same case at Ashe- ville the next day whore we went to or ganize the 9th District with State Lec turer Bell, Bureau. We organize the 7th District hero to-day. The next Districts will be the 5th and 4th which will be organized at Greensboro and Raleigh. We had intended to give our readers a fuller account and especially of Gen, Woaver 8 speeches, but for went of time must stop with these brief notes. M. B. We have ia the South a certain class of editors who are continally crying oat against the Farmers' Alliance and aver ring that it is splitting the Democratic Party.

(Abeville Journal, October 2 ) The District Alliance meeting is being held in the Courthouse to-day. A large namber of th9 County Lecturers of West ern Nortn Carolina was present. Hon. Marion Butler, president of the State Farmers' Alliance of North Carolina. made a magnificent speech, which was received with much applause. Mr. J. S.

Of all the liars that ever infested a dia- trr.CBAl nHfltTT tha lMTBmr-AnntiiT1' liars are tho worst. Look at the starv ing men, women and . children in the dries fishing out of the slop barrels of tne ncn crumbs to stay their hunger: thousands of girls selling their bodies to keep irom starvicg;and amid all this dis tress we have a set of plutocratic editors who are crying "overproduction ! ' Have we raised so much corn, wheat and me it that we must starve ? Have we manu factured so many hats, caps, boots and shoes that we mast go Lare headed and bare footed ! There are plenty of people half clad day and night, yet in the midst of all this suffering a smiling, elicV tongued politician has the audacity to say that we have raised too much ; that overproduction is ruining the country. Conn tries are not ruined that way. They are ruined by corruption in the affairs of government, as is tho case with us to day. Lincoln (Neo.) State Laborer. NORTH CAROLINA AHEAD. I North Carolina is the State of all others I tor rare minerals. The preface of Bulle tins 7-4 of the United States Geological Survey says that since 1881 a "goodly number or species have been added to the list," and that minerals formerly sup posed to be rare now found abundantly and have acquired commercial impor tance. "For example, in response to and industrial demand, North Carolina has supplied zircon and .menagite by the ton, and samaiskito by the hundred weight, and the out put can be increased almost indefinitely. The Stats has also contributed to science several new speci mens as yet not found elsewhere, and some of these, notably among the vcr- miculites, are significant for the light they shed upon other associated mine rals." Manufacturer's Record. A SUNDAY REFLECTION. The more we read of the under lying principles of the Alliance the more we see in t he spirit of .the order something to admire, It is declared "we aim to elevate , men by -blending together more intimately the. ties of brotherhood and humanity in social life, thns dissolving prejudice and selfishness in tho sunlight of human love." . - ..- This is a sermon in a nutshell and no sentiments are more noble or commend able.

MonntAin PaiIt Tomo i ANNE BISSELL By AUGUSTA LABBEU CHAPTER VL 'They're caught the thief wto ttole yvur money. Anne went off in a hurry by rail next morning, about an hour before Dr. Tib- bets came home from the city to find her gone. The house seemed strangely cold and empty and ungenial, and he vr&a glad to be called away to a scarlet lever case at Deadman's Hollow. At tea Mrs. Bissell seemed to have changed into a petrifaction of her former self. the Holmes family had crept back into their inexpressive, flaj; featured shells, and Miss Carver was furtively watch ing the scene and drawing her own cou clusionsabout Anne's suddeu flight. Evidently the Bissella had discovered something unfavorable to their paragon. She communicated her suspicious to the Widow Harkaway, and they waited im patiently for an explosion that did not come.' There were no more jokes at table about the doctor's growing prac tice, no more fun or life or active sym pathy. Without Anne's girlish laughter and bright presence the house had sud denly turned into a vault. The change in Mrs. Bissell struck cold -on the doctor's heart. lie suspected that she' blamed him for not having traced the stolen money or captured the thief, and speculated as to wnat further, .steps he could take to show his zeal. He was under a cloud, and he fell into the way of entering and leaving the house stealth ily, shutting himself in his office an smoking more cigars than were good for him. Ho watched the smoke wreathe up about his head by the hour and Anne's face appear and vanish away, and his blues grew daily of a deeper indigo hue. He noticed as a significant sign that the floral offerings that once adorned his. office table had ceased to appear. One" he thought seriously of asking Mrs. Bis sell what he had done to forfeit her es teem, and then his pride rebelled, and he concluded to fall into the business at titude of boarder and landlady. He did not even dare to inquire after Anne or when she was coming 'home, for all his questions were met with polite but frigid discouragement. He could see that Mrs. Bissell suffered silently, but the loss of her interest money, the shiftlessness of Bissell and the worries of poor help were sufficient to account for her low spirits. Only Miss Carver throve in the changed atti tude of affairs. She now firmly believed the doctor was a thief, and that tho Bis sella had found him out, and for some reason were hushing matters up; but she was willing to indulge in scientific conversation even with a man of his suspicious character, now that she had the field all to herself, and Anne s irri tating beauty was no longer beaming on the opposite ride of the table. In spite of her belief in his turpitude she was half disposed to go over to the little pill theory, for tho doctor was very generous in his medical opinions ho gave gratis on her pet diseases. Miss Carver had tried her best to fathom tho mystery of Anne s absence and Mrs. Bissell's freezing up toward the doctor, but without very brilliant success. "They've found out something pretty black about him, you may be sure," she said to the widow, "for I never saw a girl make a bolder push than she did after that man, and they were all just ready to eat him up." A month had gone by and Mrs. Bis sell showed no sign of relenting toward the young doctor. She was more and more polite ana formal ana ceremo nious, and it occurred to her that he would soon be looking out for a fashion able boarding place, where the climate was more salubrious, for the spread of scarlet fever in Deadman's Hollow had given him plenty of hard work, and it was no uncommon tning to. nave tne door bell broken twice a week by the in sistency of night messengers. One au tumn evening she was sitting in her own room with a great pile of stockings be fore her, fresh from the wash and await ing the darning needle, when the doctor burst in without stopping to knock. He J held a long official looking document in his hand, and his face was flushed with eager, happy excitement. "Excuse me, Mrs. Bissell, for forget ting my manners. I hurried in to tell you tnat i nave just naa great; news from the Boston chief of police. They've caught the thief that stole your money, and got back all those marked bills but one that has mysteriously disappeared. Eut it is sure to come to light m time." "What do you say?' Mrs. Bissell asked sharply, clutching the arm of her chair " and looking up bewildered through her glasses. ; "They've caught the thief," said.he, raising his -voice with the impression that she had suddenly gone deaf. "He was an old -state prison bird, who had just been discharged from the peniten tiary. He - pretended to be a plumber, and roofer by trade, and was engaged herewith Fraser early in the summer. He intended, it seems, to clean out LUV tlefield, but got scared after he had robbed you and left town suddenly." : "Why, that's the very man that pre tended to mend my. ,roof r cried Mrs. BisselL. .. -'' ' ' " i'.V'" ' : "" ;' "Yes," said the doctor, smiling, 'and it seexne the fellow took the oppOitnnity to go through your bureau, drawers." A hot flush burned on Mrs. Bissell's thin cheek, and she put her hand before her eyes for very shame. - "Oh, doctor, "4 she cried in a stilled, choked voice broken with sobs, "I ought to go down on my knees and humbly beg your par don." . - 4 The doctor looked startlAl and mys tified. - - . . - , ' "What In tho wnrM da too onean. She rose tlowly and tottenl to Lt-r closet, and urdockl a little writing dcak on the lower tl-.tlf an 1 took out the ten dollar IrilL un i came shAaitfaced anl trembling and laid it .'on the doc tor's knee.

"Why EAd he, astonished, "this is the avKini; bPL How did ;rou come by it, Mrs. Bis 6U17" 4 The color flooded his landlady's thin brown face away up to the roots of her gtAy hair, and tinged even the tips of ikr ears. "Don't you know, Dr. Tibbete, ytn gave it to me for beard," she said sit -wly. I gave it to you?" He ran his hJSda through his light locks and nat dumb for a moment, stricken with sur prise. Then a light broke in on him. "I sec now," he exclaimed. "It wa3 that scoundrel Doyle, whose thief a name is Shifty Mike. He called ice in that night for tha baby, the first night call I had in Littlefield. I pee now it was all a trick to paf3 this bill off oa me and save him self from suspicion, for thero really wasn't anything serioua tho matter with tho child. When ho offered to pay me I remember at first I thought I could not make change for so large a bill, but finally I did manage, and then I led it into my pocket, and thought no more aoout it never icoKod at lt, in tact, un til that day I gave it to you." Mrs. Bissell did not look tip. Her face w&3 still pcarlct, and fcho was trembling like a l.af . The doctor rubbed his fore head, erill perplexed. "It had just oc curred to lue," ho said, Emiling a little wistfully, "that yon might have thought but no, you cm not tniiik 1 was a thief;" his frank, sunny smile broke on all over his face: "the thing is too ab surd. Ycu couldn't suppose that I had sneaked up thereinto the attic and taken yciroaoney out of tho btirrau drawer?" The . pr woman looked so distressed he wanted -to Bparo her. "And Miss Anne," ho ttaTJiuiered, ''did Miss Anne could Miss Anne really , thiuk I had stolen?" The words chokad him and he stopped ehort. "No, no," protested Mrs. Bissell, stretching out her hands. "She could never think aiij-ibing to your injnry She believed you were a perfect gentle man, and as m.r.e3t and true as tijo sun. She said she would etats her Lie on it, and she grt down on her knees and made me promise I would never lot you know, would never breaths a word to harm you in this town. She knew if it once "got wind c-uch as she," motioning toward Miss Carver's room, "would soon tear your reputation piecemeal. She said ahe'd'go away and not come back until you were cleared, as sue knew you would be in soma way, and the poor girl has been sick waiting, but she never lost faith:" Mrs. Bissell paused, and then w;ent on in a Ipw, broken voice, "I waa to blame, doctor, and I ask you to for give me,, though I don t know as you ever can, and now I guess I must go and telegraph to Anne to como right home, and she rose from her chair. "No" said the doctor, quite pale, and putting nis nana on ner arm. "Let me go to Bell's Cove. I have something to say to Anno. If we come back together to-morrow afternoon wo ehall come back pledged to each other for life." "Oh, doctor:" and Mrs, Bissell began to cry. "I always did say you wpve the only j-oung man I ever bliould care to have for a son. Eut we are poor, hum ble folks, though I will say it for AnneV she's a good girl." The doctor and Anne came home to gether tho ext day, and now Dr. Tib bets Las tho largest practice in Little field. He has paid o5 the mortgage on the Bissell place, and Bridget O'Neil has been living in the family for several years. . The Littlefield people have long ago forgotten that the doctors wife was ever outside tho pale of the best set. Miss Carver has enthusiastically adopted the little pill practice, and now speaks of Mrs. Tibbets aa "dearest Anne," im plying that 6he has always lived with her on terms of the closest intimacy. New York Times. Cookery at Saa. The English Shipmasters' association has proposed that a cooking" school for ships' cooks should be established. Hith erto the one qualification for the post of cook in the merchant service has " been to be a negro. It is true that occasion ally a Spaniard or other nationality of exceptionally dark complexion has been shipped as cook, but . such exceptiocs have rarely had the approbation of in telligent seaman. So, toorif the cook has accidentally gone overboard the cap; tain has been compelled - to detail the most worthless of the sailors to act as cook; but this has been-dona of necessity and not of choice. The proposal to. es; tablish cooking schools shows that tho old fashioned cook, whese. only concep tion of cooking was limited to boiling- or in the case of exceptionally dark cooks, to boiling and frying is doomed to vanish. The modern sea captain desires the re finements of shore cookery, and hankers for "manevilins." Possibly he dreams of game suppers prepared from cooped partridges, and perhaps pudding more recondite than the siiaplo duff of the sea would meet his. views. The old fash ioned captain is being driven from tho ocean by steam, and it is perhaps fitting j that the old fashioned cook should fol low him. : It is even possible that the Vtramp" of the ' future will carry as a cook - a young woman . who ; ha3 just graduated "from a cookery, school and who vwill ornament the.- galley ' with flower pots.

PREACHED BY DR, MAGE ON SUNDAY TAL-OC- TOBKK I- What Were You Made ForV-An Important juntfou Asked ami Answered. "TO THIS LSI) WAS 1 HORN." ! JOHN XVIII, 37, THE , TEXT.' Bhooklts. Oct. 4. A most lmprea- dve scene is that witnessed in the l?rooklyn Tabernaele, when at the open ing of the morning service seven thou sand persons on the main floor, In the two galleries and the adjoining rooms rise and sing the Doxology. This morning, In addition to the congregational sing ing, Professor Henry Eyre Browne ren dered from the orjran, "Theme and Va riations, in A, by Kramer. Dr. Tal inage's text was taken from John xviii, 37, "To this end wan I born." After Pilate had suicided, tradition snys that his body was thrown into the Tiber, and such storms ensued on and aliout that liver that hU body was tiken out and thrown into the Rhone, aid - similar disturbances swept tliat ri ver and ! Its banks. Then the body was taken out and removed to Lau 6anne, and put In a deeper pool, whioh immediately became the center of sim ilar atmospheric and aqueous disturb- Huccs. Though these are fanciful' and falae traditions, they show the execra tion with which the world looked upon Pilate. It was before this man, when he was ia full life and power, that Christ was . arraigned its in a court of oyer and terminer. Pilate said to his prisoner, "Art thou a king, then?" end Jeeii3 answered, "To this end was I Lorn." flare enough, -although all earth and hell arose to keep him down. He is today empalaced, enthroned and coronated king of earth and king-qf heaven. "To this end was Ibbrh." That is what he came for, and that waa what he accomplished. By the time a child reaches ten years of age the parents begin to discover that child's destiny; but by the time he or she reaches fifteen years of age the question, is oh the child's lips: ."What am I to be? What am I going to be? What was I made fori" . It is a sensible and righteous question, and tho youth ought to keep on atking it until it is so fully answered that the young man or the 5'oung woman can say with as much truth as its author, though on a less expansive scale, "To this end was I bom." There is too much divine skDl shown hi tho physical, mental and moral con stitution of the ordinary human being to suppose that ha was constructed without any divine purpose. If yon take me out on some vast plain and show me a pillared temple surmounted by a dome like St. Peter's, and having a floor of precious stones, and arches that must have taxed the brain of the greatest draftsman to design, and O - - o v walla scrolled and niched and paneled and wainscoted and painted. tid I should ask you what this building was put up for, and you answered, "For nothing at all, how could.

You go into a shop where there is only one wheel turning, and that by a work man's foot on a treadle, and you say to yourself, "Here is something good being done, yet on a small scale;" but if you go into a factory covering many acres, and you find thousands of bands pull ing on thousands of wheels, , and shut tles flying, and the "whole scene be wildering , with activities, driven by watefor steam or electric power, you conclude that the factory was put up to do great work and on a vast scale, Now, I look at you, and If I sbould find .that you bad only one faculty of body, only one muscle, only one nerve, If you could sea but could not hear, or could hear and not see, if you had the use of only one foot or one hand, and, as to your higher nature, if you had only one mental faculty, and yoa had u.,f nn r.rrTTlttr.f r ioAamnt but no wflL and if yoa had a soul with only one eapacitv.
