"We charge that the controlling influence dominating both these parties have permitted tht? existing conditions to develop without serious effort to prevent or restrain them.

They propose to caeriiiee mi!' honies, lives and children on tne n:..i of mammon; io destroy the multitude in order to secure corrup tion funds from the millionaires." These were the words spoken bv the People's party eighteen months since, any casual observer who will read these it ins, and then reflect upon the condition of the wealth produ cers, must admit that every predic tion, but ouej, has been fulfilled, at.d that one is the "destruction of our civilization, or the establishment of in aosolute despoti-iii. llns one i n .. o ... i, . r,. i i i . i ie -..-- ,.i "lit aiso .'t- x til in tro, li. tue lo tj ui iiai tie- niv lo lemain in uiu'i. nit 1 1 . . , two greatest exponents Alexander iiamtiton ever had in this country, art' John Sherman and G rover Cleve land. Within tlie-e eightev-n months the courts have decided that labor has no right to organize for its protec tion. Workingnieu have been shot down in Idaho, Tennessee and at tlotnestead. Millions of honest toi 1--rs have been ca-t out of tmploy ne:it to live upon the crumbs, dole-d out by that class who have absorbed the wealth labor created.

This government must be restored to the people, and the great plain people must do it. Those sections f our country whose interests are '.denticle, must become political al lies in the comiug conflicts of ballots. The "South and West" must unite .it the polls for a common cause. The ballot is the ouly weapon by which this government can be re stored to the eople.

The New Berne Journal says: In j'.ir item on the river and harbor im provement work we alluded to the stumps at tiie bottom of Neuse river channel, on which the steam hoisier Content nea ami her force were at work when we visited the scene of opeiatiocs. Stump was being taken up in pi ees, having been blasted, and we left w hen only part of it had been taken out. Afterwards Overseer Durham called at our oiliee aiul g:ive us the following additional facts in reference to it ; T.iis one stump loaded the flat used to receive what is pulleel up. i'he ilat is oU feet long and 10 feet vide. This will give an idea of the stump's size. The appearance of the tops of the majority of these stumps seem to in dicate that they were cut down, oc caiiouaUv oue appears to have been burnt off, ... , ., , c It there were any possible wav of , t v "i i , v hnding out, it would be interesting! . , . ,., ; to know when it was that the present bed oi the Aeuse was a torest, win the workmen in it were, and how the river took tiie place of the land, but these points can be matters only of the widest conjecture.

Engineer Chadbonnie tells us the same of the Cape Fear river-thut stumps have been removed from it near Wilmington at a depth of twen ty feet. lXIOKVIATIOX ASKED Foil, Clinton, N. C. Mr. Editor: I heard a eroad talking around the courthouse the other day, and they said that the farmers legislature of 1891 gave Mr. Fab Busbee eight hundred dollars to draw one bill. They said it was caused by want of lawyers iu that legislature. Is this true? Citizen. The legislature of 1S91 did uot employ an attorney to draw a bill or to do any other work. It was the legislature of 1SS9, or rather the committee raiseel by that legislature with E. Wr. Kerr a lawyer as chair man that employed an attorney ar.d I made the bill against the State, ar.d the legislature of lS'Jl had to either appropriate the money to pay it or repudiate the debt.

A recital of instance:? where gr:s frav.ds. hae been pere- t rated is witoity unucrssary, uvea use uo truttiitii '-inzen, I cure not what his political iidiiiati niav be, will have the temerity to deny their per petrat ion. When men arc appointed to of'ice of honor and iv.-p.msibili'y as a re ward for ex.H utiug the fraudulent !neth.ai.s couceiveJ aud suggested by a iser hejtd.-; wlien those who have been eommissioned by the eople of Hi' State to iiold the scaled of jtist- toe in c'ltial poise, frepient the head piarters of designing politicians tin- der cover of darkness and there in a -emi-o!li i-ii way suggest how honest tti;etis niav be d'-fniuded of their ! right to vote, at the same time en- ih-v were fairly and honestly elect ed, to make place for some suppliant tjol of an egotistical boss; I say when these things are done here in gooel old North Carolina, is it not time to call a halt ? What ia known as the Democratic party the Bourbon element does not embrace a majority of the voters of the State by many thousands; but they manipulate the election ma chinery in their hands anel the infa mous eletion laws as their liceuse, there will be no more honest elec tions iu this State until that party is dethroneel and driven from power. Can this be done? It can when men lay aside past prejudices, cease to be selfish and look only to the geod of the country and the State, and the prosperity aud welfare of their fellow citizens. Every question National and Suite1 should be subordinated to a single issue fair electious. Com pared with this, everything else sinks into iusignicauce. We may differ on the tariff, on the free coinage of sil ver, and perhaps on some State issues of minor importance, but on the question of fair elections every elector having the right to cast one vote, aud have that vote counted as cast we can all agree. There are thousands of good citi zens who have in the past voted the Democratic ticket from inherited prejudice, r. ho have become disgust eel with the practices of the past few years. They &re ready to joiu hands with us in our efforts, to purify the ballot box. Just how we can all get together and present a solid front is a matter for serious and mature consideration. I have no plans to suggest. If 1 should make a suggestion it would be very iuueh like the suggestion of Presideut Grant when the Sec etary called to consult with him about the resumption of specie p iyme it. When asked his views the President replied: "The way to resume is to resume." So I say t he way to get together is to g.'t together.

With evening dress, tiie American gen tleman w ears no jewelry of uny sort. Simplicity, rather severity, in dreK-i ia a mark eif distinction in a man, anJ the American gentleman is no exception to the rule. American ladies dress very well as a rule, but there are a jrreat number who cover tht tuselves with furlielows antl jewels. The fashionable headgear dur ing my sojourn in the States was a high, narrow construction, surmounted with feathers. At a certain distance it gave its wearer the look of an irate cockatoo. The ladi.fl wearing tliem waikod like English 4. reuadiers in busbies. There are French milliners ia New York, I Ixdieve. Dr. Oliver Wendell Iloluios j retends that they deteriorate on American soil.

At the ihoatrc women wear eilk, which prevents one from hearing, and hata a foot high, wliich prevent one from see ing. Bpston ladica echcv f-how and glitter and wen diamonds very- sparingly, even pa the evi nhig. But the most striking contrast may be Been by poing straight from New York or Chicago to Canada. "Here we are in England once more," I thought, as I lookeil at a bevy of Canadian girls dis porting themselves.? an afternoon dance in the Athletie club of Montreal. Half a dozen New York women would have had on the worth of all the fifty or sixty toi lets in the room. American ball toilets are ravishing. Ilere the diamend3 are in place. I do not know any .gayer, more intoxicating eight than an American ball room. Low necked dresses are much worn by American women, not only at balls and dinners, but at their afternoon receptions. It seems very txid to us Eurojioans to see a lady in a very low necked ball dress at 4 in the afternoon, receiving her friends who are habited in ordinary visiting toi lets or tailor made gowns. In France, a hostess seeks to make show of simplic ity in her reception toilete, so as to lie likely to eclipse no one in her own house. Decollete teile'ts are universal in Amer ica, old ladies vying with young in the di.-play of neck and shoulders. It is true the Americans are not jK-culiar in this. Many times, in a European ball room, have I longed to exclaim: "Ladies, throw a veil over the past, I pray you." You may see some wonderful costumes in the streets of the largo towns, disguises rather than dresses. I have seen dresses of an orange terra cotta shrvle, trimmed with huge bands of bright green velvet; costume of violet plush, worn with sky blue bats, and other atrocities enough to make one's eyes cry for mercy. Violet and blue! (3. Oscar Wilde, I thought you had leen in America! The wives of men with middle class In comes imitate the luxury of the million aire's wife.

Depew and Gen. Horaoa Porter Mark Twain. Flumor is an unassuming form of wit. bv turns gay, naive, grim and pathetic, that you will never come across in a vain, affected person. What, for instance, could be more naive than the following bv Mark Twain at a dinner in New York, given, of course, in his inimitable draw 1 "I waj in the war, too for a fortmgnt but I found I was on the 6trong side so I retired to make the fight even." The Americans aro past masters in the art of making those light, graceful, witty little t-peeches which give to then din ners such a unique charm. Irony and elegance combine to make these dis courses veritable utile literary gems. The chronicler, who draws upon his fertile brain for an interesting column for his paper evory day, may choose his own subject, and the task, difficult as it is, is not insurmountable; but to be able, night after night, throughout a whole season, to make a witty speech on a given Bubject, not chosen by the speaker, this appears to me a wonderful feat. Never theless, it is done every year by a goodly number of Americans, foremost among whom must be named Mr. Chauncey M. Depew and Gen. Horace Porter. A banquest is not complete without the presence of one of these delightful ora tors. Here ia a specimen of Gen. Porter's drollery a portrait of an old typical Puritan, given at a "New England" din ner: "The old Puritan was not the most rol licking, the jolliest, the most playful of men. He at times amused himself Badly He was given to a mild disregard of the conventionalities. He had suppressed bear baiting, not, it is believed, because it gave pain to the bear, but because It gave pleasure to the audience. He found the Indians were the proprietors of the land, and he felt constrained to move against them with his gun, with a view to increasing the number of absentee land lords, lie found the Indians on one side and the witches on the other. He was surrounded with troubles. He had to keep the Indians under fire and the witches over it. These were some of the things that reconciled that good man to sudden death. He never let the sun go down upon his wrath, but he, no doubt. , often wished that he was in that region Bear th wh-nc tttv Fun di-t t i r, down form tuontluiata ii;, and K-s wrath a fair rhMKr t- to;. ri'u wm a tnHisiiful taAn- II.. er-fit hi day invenuRj : pl .a an.

This is un anecdote he tells on the mibj.-ct: Mr. I'jH'w and (ten. Porter were pri s- ent one evening at a diutn-r in Ixiudou. The general had just terminat.'.l a sHt-eh. and Mr. Iiejx-w was called up.n ftir one in his turn. "Gentlemen." lie said. "I am in a great state of embarrassment. I had pn pand a sp-ech which Gen. Porter, to my great surprise, has just given you word for word. The genera! and I occupied the same cabin on board the hteaim r whit h brought us to England, anil I htrongly suspect h." must have stolen my notes.' At this.it Hftjutars. Mr. Ih-jn-w heard an Englishman say to his neigliiior: "'It is not the act of a gentleman." Since the death of Artcmus Ward, Mr. Samuel L. Clemens, win. jseudt- nvm of "Mark Twain" is n household word among every English sje;iking people, has held unchallenged the posi tion of first American humorist. This man of merriment is, it apienrs. also a deep sttulent of frious things. His father-in-law was long anxious to have him write a life of Chriit, and if be hm never complied with thiswish.it is only from a feeling that a volume of the kind, coming from his jen. might riot i read with the reverence such a bul.ject demands.

The president of tho club, Mr. Handy, takes his place at the ce nter of the table, and the feast begins. Choice dishca fol low one another, and are washed jlown with choice wines. Conversation flows. and faces light up. An orchestra, placed in a neighboring room, makes pleasant subdued music. The guests b-gin to think over the speeches they will nion be called upon to deliver you recogn'ze them by their white faces, the Clovrr ites quietly ehur'it'n their weapons for the fray.

The second speaker speaks in a scaively audibly voice. "Raise your voice!" cry the members'. rm 6orry you cannot hear," quietly answers the ppeaker; "come nearer." The cries of "louder!" continue. "If I tspeak low," says the interrupted man, "it is in order to get down to your level." This convulsed the assembly with laughter. Can it be possible. I thoutrht, that they will stand thai?
