AN IMPORTANT CHAPTER IN HISTORY
BEING MADE-- '
All reformers and patriots have
enough at home to engross aud mo
nopolize their attention at present.
Hut it will be interesting jyid instruc
tive to turn from our fight for liberty
and justice here, and look across at
the Old World to see what is going
on there.
First, let us look at IJelgium.
There the rank and file of the peo
ple, who had borne .oppression until
patience ceased to be a virtue, arose
irrtheir might and demanded man
hood suiTerage for all the people.
The oppressors, the misrepresenta
tives of the people who nat in the
Legislative halls of that country,
saw that at last the people were de
termined. Likw oppressors always
are, they were cowards, they quailed
before the people and granted their
honest and rightful demands, not
from a sense of justice, but from a
sense of fear. This was all explain
ed in an article of a week or two since.
Next let us look at Germany. There
the Kaiser gave his order to the
Reichstag to pass a bill to increase
the standing army ofOeimany. The
people had enough of their represen
tatives in their Legislative halls,
who had back bone and courage
enough to even stand tip against a
Kjng, when he is wrong, to stand by
the people and to refuse the demands
of the King.,
Now let us look at England and
Ireland, for in fact it is about.these
that we started out to wi ite. Histo
ry that will stand out prominently in
the annals of the world, is now being
made there. In fact when future
historian write about Gladstone's
great fight for Home Rule for Ire
land, and pictures out the grand old
man in his 64th year, as he stood up
before English parliament and
fought, and won a great triumph for
the liberty of that down trodden
people ; then he describes how this
great commoner had all the wealth
and aristocracy, and even the crown
ed head itself against him, repre
sented by the solid ranks of Tory
party, while to his back he had to
marshal all the various and diverse
forces of the opposition, and going
in the fight with a bare majority, and
gaining strength at each passage of
arms, he (the historian) will picture
it as one of the grandest epochs in
history, and one of the most biil
liant achievements of any individual.
When our grand children read this
page in English History, one hun
dred years hence, they will compare
it with their own time, and wonder
why such events do not occur then,
and why such men as Gladstone do
not then live. In fact we scarcely
realize how grand the struggle is.
and how much victory or defeat will
mean. But such it is always the
case with people who live while great
events in history are transpiring.
They fail at the time to realize its
size and importance. Then too, we
have to be considerably removed
from such events to fully appreciate
them. The old-Romans appreciated
this, and expressed it in their say
ings, "that he who is on Mount Atos,
can't see Mount Atos."
The outlook now is, that Gladstone
will succeed in passing his bill
through the House of Commons to
give partial home rule, and local self
government to the people of Ireland
It is very probable that the House of
Lords, that "old barnacle all human
progress, will kill the measure, even
if it should pass the House of Com
mons. But even if they do, the vie
tory for Gladstone will be none the
ess, and the victory for Ireland will
be only delayed a few years at least
The whole world is gravitating tow
ards Democracy ; it is bound to come
We might state in this connection
that Ireland had home rule once.
rom 1782, to about 1800. But from
, combination of circumstances
(which Gladstone's bill provides for
avoiding,) by the free use of English
gold to bribe the Irish parliament,
that country suffered the disgrace of
apparently voluntarily surrendering
their liberty, and again putting their
necks under the English yoke. The
agitation to regain home rule was
commenced by the Irish people un
der the leadership of Daniel O'Con
nor in 1834. This fight has been
continued by Isaac Butt and others,
and was carried almost, within sight
of victory by the late great Irish
leacteiy Parnell. And to day Glad
stone,, the greatest man in England,
if not in the world, is carrying on
the fight for that down trodden peo
ple. To secure home rule for Ire
land has been one of his great'ob-
jects and burning desires for the last
15 years. It is probably the inspira
tion of this fight, which keeps the
old man alive to day, and if he sue
ceeds, he will probably not Jive a
year. But it would be a happy time
to die ; for it is the fate of but few
men, to die with their greatest lau
rels fresh on their brows. The fight
for the home rule bill of. Ireland in
1872, was made by that famous Irish
leader Henry Grattan. In another
column we give a synopsis of the
leading features of Grattan's Home
Rule bill, and the Gladstone Home"
Rule bill which is now before parlia
ment. If the bill should pass, the
synopsis of it would be interesting
to our readers and the public gener

( I
Ij there a man iu your neighbor-!
hood who will not read both sides?!
If at) he is a dangerous man. He
will vote ignorantl j, aud if he votes
right it will be simply accidental.
In our issue of week after next we
will begin the publication of the
sreech made by Henry Watterson in
the recent great debate as to which
political party offered the best means
or methods fyr the people to secure
justice and good government- We
will ulso publish the fcpeech of Gen.
Watterson and probably others. Ev
ery voter, whether he be Democrat,
Republican or Populist, should read
these speeches. They are by able
men and present the strongest argu
ments for their respective parties.
Henry Watterson is the brilliant edi
tor of the Courier-Journal and pre
sents the arguments for the Demo
cratic -party, Gen. Weaver for the
Populists and so. on. Now we want
every reformer to read both of these
speeches. So if there are any one in
your neighborhood who is not taking
the paper get him to subscribe at
once so he will hot miss them.' Are
there any Democrats in your neigh
borhood? They too by all means
should read both of these speeches.
Not a single Democratic paper has
published them, so get each of them
to give you 23 cents and order the
paper for them for three months at
least. They may be prejudiced
against all reform papers but they
certainly caii not refuse to read a
splendid Democratic speech by oue.
of the leaders of their party, and
they would then certainly be fair
and honest enough to read both
sides. But such as will not sub
scribe it is our duty in the interest
of truth and good government to see
that they read it anyway. So allow
me to suggest that you and one 'or
two of your friends join together and
send the paper six months or three
months to such of your neighbors.
It ought to be done. It must be
done. During the next few months
we will publish a lot of facts that
we are anxious for all honest fair
minded men to read. We want men
of all parties to read. It will ap
peal to their reason and sense of jus
tice. If the people ever preserve
their liberties and get justice they
must do so by acting as intelligent
.well informed citizens and not as
partisans men who will stick to a
party right or wrong. Will the
truth be gotten to the people ? Will
the people read 'and know what we
are going to pu blish ? That depends
on you. A little work and expense
now is worth more than much work
and more money at any other time.
Your opportunity is now. . If you
and your friends will send $1.00 to
pay to send the paper three months
to four men, we .willv send it our
selves to one other man. So with
each club you send in send five
names with $1.00. If you pay $2.00
for eight men we will send it to two
ex tea men. So with each club of
$2.00 send ten names. Or better
still subscribe for the paper for them
for six months. Three months is a
very short time to get the facts be
fore the reader in a full and coming
manner. A man who takes the pa
per for six months will be more apt
to continue to take it, and if he con
tinues to take it he will certainly
know the facts when he goes to vote
If you send $5.00 and subscribe for
ten men for six months each, we
will send the paper ourailf to two of
vour subscribers six months. So
with each club of $5.00 for ten, send
us twelve names. "We do this be

portance of getting the truth before
the people now. There is no time to

offer is good for only two weeks.

question discussed was : "Which of

speeches are very long but they are

four sides. We will publish at least
two of them if not all. Col. Henry

The youih who wrote the above is
either very 'sfcuple, or else very rab.
Yes we do charge the Democratic
bosses and machine politieians, with
having planued certain frauds and
corruptions, to be used at the polls
ast fall; and that the said frauds
were carried out wherever the ma-
hines selected its proper tools to do
the disgraceful aud demoralizing
work, except where the people by
uch -close scrutiny, and the asser
tion of their manhood and rights.
deterred them. Yes we charge it,
and maybe denied, but it can't be cou-
radicted. The express says that the
people are getting tired of hearing
this kind of thing. It is sadly mis
taken, for the people are enjoying
it, or rather congratulating them
selves that there is a paper in North
Carolina that has the manhood and
justice, to expose frauds and tell the
truth. It is those who are guilty,
who are getting tired of this expos
ure. The Express calls upon us, if
W3 know any Democrats who com
mitted frauds, to name them. This
i i i i
is a very rash request, Dut it was
not a necessary one, for before this
year shall have closed they will be
named in every section of the State,

we have simply been discussing the
aw, and showing how frauds might
be committed under it, and also dis
cussing the amendments offered by
the last Legislature, aud showing
how they would improve the law,
that is protect the rights of the peo
ple, and make it less easy for dis
honest men to defraud the will of
the people. Next it asksus to have
the guilty persons arrested and pun
ished, this shows great simpleness.
or great demagogery. If the editor
of The Express were better acquaint
ed with the law, (or rather we might
say if he was capabfe of seeing the
imperfections of the law eveu with
the assistance of such powerful ob
ject lessons as were given last fall)
he would know that the greatest ob
jection to the present law, is that it
gives scoundrels a chance to com
mitt high crimes against the ballot
box in the name of the law, or at
east in evasion of the law. We
We don't expect all people to be
honest. Law was not maue to pro
tect the people against honesty, but
against dishonesty. We know there
are men who will always do wrong,
unless they dare not do it from fear
of detection" and punishment. We
want a law that will have this effect.
Probably the rditor of the Express
is ignorant of the fact that in num
bers. and numbers of cases, that
the people have given information
of these frauds to the grand jury and
the Solicitor, but as yet have not
been able to get a bill of indictment.
In fact when one case came before a
certain Judge, (by the way a pure
upright man. "than whom there is no
oue in" whom we have more confl
deuce, and for whom we have more
respect) he frankly .admitted that
there was no law to punish the partie
The Express is also probably ignor
ant that in its own county, (not very
ar from where the paper is publish
ed) that a man generally looked
upon as a good man, (at any rate a
man holding a high position in the
Church) was caught at questionable
practices, as judge of the election on
the 8th of last November. But
enough of this now, The Caucasian
has its plan mapped out, and will
follow it. We are now discussing
the law, and the needs of a just one, i
and in due season, the names, and
the facts and the places will be giv

to discomfiture, -of The Express and
all "who will wince to see the

What tht Intellect Can Nnt ira Th
Iutt of the ItMtionaliot 1 h t".iiifort

On last Sabljath morning, Rev.
Mr. Hoffman, Kectorof St. Stephens,
preached from the text:
'Ni odemus answered'and saidun
to him how can these things bef
Jolin 3-9.''
Nieodemus was an able and learn
ed and wealthy man. He was the
leader of the Jews, and stood high
in the Sanhedrim. But he was a
rationalist; and there is such a ten
dency towards rationalism at the
present day, that it Kwell to consid
er the qucstiorr of NicodemUs, ajid
Christ and Christ answer. Christ
had just told him, that "except a
man be born araiu, he cannot see
the kinsrdora of Heaven." When
Nieodemus asked, "How can thtese
things be." But rationalist as he
was, wg have ever reason to believe
that he did not ask this question in
jest, or out of curiosity, or with 'an
intention to confuse Christ before a
multitude. He was very much in
earnest; he sought Christ out while
the world was wrapped iu slumber,
and while the stars t.winkcled ovr
head, and the flowers gave out their
perfume on the air of the stilly ni.ht.
But why did he seek Christ out to
ask questions to satisfy his mind and
reasons about God's spiritual provi
dence? He did not ask why the
stars over head hang in space with
nothing to support them. He did not
marvel that one Hower should give
out a delightful perfume, aud that
another by it, rooted in the same
soil, growing under the samesun,
and kissed by the same breezes,
should give out distateful oders. Yes
this is part of God's mysterious wm-k.
Some of his infinite wisdom and
providence that Nieodemus could
not any more understand, than .why
a man had to be horded again
of the water, and of the spirit before
he could enter the kingdom of Heav
en. And so it is to-day we delight
in doubting about things infinite,
and refuse to believe that which our
poor finite, intellect can. not grasp.
Christ did not attempt to answer
the question of Nieodemus in an
elaborate manner, to appeal to the
narrow confines'- of human reason,
but he gave him an answer that ap
pealed to be soul and belief. 1 am
glad that Christ answered him thus.
I am glad that - our intellect can
comprehend and grasp the wisdom
aud love of God. I am glad my God,
the God that'T worship does not al
low man' to understand the ways of
his piovidence. I am glad that we
are finite beings while on earth. I
am glad our God is always an infi
nite God. But don't misunderstand
me, I don't mean that we should not
study God aiid ;his word; I do not
mean that we should not through
belief elevate ourselves, and try to
make ourselves God-like. The idea
that Theology, the study of God is
something that is still dead and un
prdgressive -is all wrong. Such a
stigma on Theology, such a false
aotion about the study of God is fast
disappearing. Theology is as pro
gressive as the study of finite things.
Those who- study science and art,
are making wonderful strides. Those
who study God, his infinite love and
wisdom, are making, and should
make as rapid progress as the mind
of man advances, and is capable of
grasping more truth both material
and divine.. The man who leads an
upright christian life, though he mav
know nothing of technical theology,
yet he lives a Theoloical life. Though
the fact still hangs out to-day, that
man is more ignorant of God and
his finite love than of the material ob
jects of his handy work around us.
When we study the phenomina of
nature, we ask "How these things
be?" Not in a spirit of doubt, but
in a spirit of belief, and with an in
quiring and investigating eagerness
for knowledge. Let us study God's
spiritual plan in the same way. But
let us believe what we have not yet
been able to comprehend, and what
we will never be able. to comprehend
because it is the work and the plan
of an infinite God. We see a man
who was yesterday a servant of the
devil. He would falsify to his neigh
bor, he would defraud his brother.
He was a bad and unreliable, and a
dangerous man in every particular.
To-day he will not do these things.
To-day he scorns them and does the
opposite. Yesterday tie was trav
eling in one direction, to-day he is
traveling in exactly the opposite
direction. Yesterday he walked to
wards the kmgom of Satan. To
day hu walks towards the kingdom
of God. What and how is this
change? You ask in the language
of Nieodemus, how can these things
be? He is con vertedv but we can:
not explain. The grace of God has
entered his heart. He has been
born again, this time of water and
of the spirit. But we eannot reason
it out as we could a mathematical
problem. -We can't show just the
miraculous change tnat ujok place,
and prove it, but we can believe it.
Christ's, explanation was, and is,
"the wind bloweth where it listeth,
and thou heareth tae sound thereof,
but canst not tell whence it ; cometh.
and whither it goeth, so is every one
that is born of the spirit.77
So it is with the Trinity and unity
of God. Do we believe in God the
Father, God the son, and God 'the
Holy Ghost! Do' we believe in the
unity of divinity? Can we prove it!
Can the finite mind grasp the infinite
truth! No, yet we . believe it. Out
there grows a leaf, I pluck it, there
it is, look at it, It has size, it has
weight, it has ; color. . There are
three distinct qualities or elements.

ing: That the jMssesion of exer

in Wyoming for the past quar
ter of a century -lias wrought no
harm, and has done great good in
many ways, that it has largely
aided in banishing Qrjme, jwiupcr

that, without any violent or op

good government, and a remarka-.

pride to the fact .that, alter twenty-five
years of women suffrage,
not one county in Wyoming has
a poor-house; that our jails are
almost empty, and crime, except
that commited by strangers 'in
the state, is almost unknown; and
as a result of experience we urge
every civilized community to en
franchise its women without de
lay. And the democratic governor of
that state shortl? afterward wrote
as follows:

the resolution passed by the houi-e
of representatives of the legislature
of "Wyoming advising the legisla

to enfranchise their women. Our
experience in this state for
nearly twenty-five years is high

good has been done iu many direc

The Itaaie Principle.
The brsic principle of this whole
reform movement is that every per
son has a natural right to comfort
and happiness. That being true,
whatever interferes with that right is
an evil, and its such evils, that
we are fighting. -The Rational

Preach all the sermons you can,
talk all the morality vou choose,
teach temperance- as zealously as
you please, but until men, women
and children have homes of their
own, there will be vice, immorality
and drunkenness, prostitution,
pauperism and crime. John S win-

so far as a Democrat was concerned,
as a lady and gentleman from tin
place after iMMntr invited t- dinner
were cooly informed that if they
were Democrat a they were not wel
come. They were Democrat, show
ed their colors and moved away.
Col. Harry Skinner, chief land
lord of l'itt. norated and expatiated
on the occasion, abusing the Demo
cratic party, advocating suh-trHas-ury
and such. lie told the people
that the whites imd the blacks were

700 or 800 did eat and were atis

as to Col. Skinner's speech it did not
run down any party, but treated all
fairly and was outspoken on the re
forms needed, and that .it was an
able aud eloquont speech and he
asked him to publish it, for every
word of it was the truth, but the
Messenger did not print it because
the other fellow took the paper and
he din't. These Third party fellow
say he did not want to print Mr.
Jno. Mill letter, caue it was the
truth, and that werut the stuff he was
looking for. So I Lope Col. Skinner
won't thinklia'rd of us fellow about
it for we like him.

What in the world is the matter
any way f 1 went, to Jacksonville
tother day and I heard em talking
about Hank failure and Kauroad
breaking until I could not shep that
night aud some one said the Wiming
ton Star had jined the Alliance,
judging from it editorial, and I got
back home I seed a paper called the
Loud Cry saying the ever plague
were coming this summer. What
doe it all mean? I heard that a to
bacco drummer told Mr. II. M. & H.
privately, they said, and ho was a
strong Democrat too, that he had
traveled all over th State, and that
you and these Third party papers
wero showing up every thing wrong
our fellow had done, and it was
hurling us like the nrschief, he Raid
lots of good DenuM-rats told him if
our side didn't do what they prom
ised they were done, and I tell you
it is so round here, they said it scar
ed H. neatly to death. Xow Mr.
liutler that aint right. We know we
done wrong, but you ought to have
mora charity in your heart, and not
be telling .every body about our
fault. Vou know the truth hurts,
so oe light and give us a chance.
What is it about thia money ques
tion? You know I never heard of it
until I saw your paper. Our paper
didn't use to bother their heads
with it, they left that for the law
makers to tend to, but I ee they aay
nothing now About an honest dollar.
A Third party fellow put this quw-
tion to me the other day and I could
not answer it as you know we are in
ower and I don t read much now.
His question was, "How could we
favor putting a dollar worthof silver
in a dollar so that it would pas in
all countries and favor State bank
at the same time." Of course I
couldn't answer that, nor him either.
I know one thing it is a skace a
hen's teeth round here, and every
fellow seem to be after, the last dime
he can get. But I don't care how
titter I get, I have some sympathy
in my heart for every -body, and ' it
kinder disgust me, when 1 se some
of our fellows. And one in particular
who is worth ..000 pushing a poor
Third party fellow out of a $20 post-
office who has a large family to sup
port.' lnia $.,0w Demoerat used to
be postmaster here under President
Hayes and thro wed np the ofiice be
cause it did not pay, and the present
postmaster was appointed by Presi
dent Cleveland 8 years ago and has
held it ever since, and made it pay
right well. Now this $.,000 Democrat
wants it agaim. He served under
President Hayes aad now he wants
to try under Cleveland, and he has
. rr . i;
Deen appointed, stow ueiievo iu
the victors belong the spoils, but we
had some poor Democrats round
here who would have been glad to
get the office, but they didn't. I
heard a bright, intelligent and com
petent young lady who teaches
school for living tried for it but he
cut her out because she could not
vote. That is what is-th matter with
our side; we give all the offices here
lately to the neh aud none to toe
