They say there are no rats in the
White House. "Kats."
Here is good advice from the
Asheboro Courier : Never run f rom
au officer that can outrun you.
Hunting patridges is not allowed
in South Carolina until after No
vember 1st That ought to be the
way here.
Some crank wants a patent on the
Lord's Prayer as a cure for stam
mering when uttering loud and rap
idly. No doubt this is the only way
he could use it.
Would not a little more enthusi
asm in the proficiency of the three
R'8 accomplish more than that ex
pended in the national base ball
championship ?
The population of the world is
now estimated at 1,200,000,000, of
which the women are in the major
ity. There are 67 deaths per minute
and 70 births.
It is beginning to be whispered
that the probabilities are against the
Prince of Wales ver becoming
King of England. He has blight's
disease. The chances are against
his lifing through another year.
Another woman following in the
footsteps of Mrs. Lock wood, is mak
ing a public goose of herself. Mrs.
Emma Beckwith is running for the
office of mayor of Brooklyn. God
pity the poor mortal !
Recently a nickel mine has been
discovered in Canada that will, it is
estimated, add 2,000 tons to the
yearly output of the world which is
now only 1,000 tons. Perhaps
"rickels" will be cheaper now.
The people of Richmond are tired
waiting for the negro problem to
solve itself, and are organizing a
movement to substitute white labor
and import it if necessary instead of
employing negroei.
Gov. Fowle is showing his colors
just now over the lynching bus
iness. There will be a Fowle day
for some of these ungodly, blood
thirsty and self-authorized adminis
trators of justice it is hoped at
least by the law abiding citkens.
North Carolina with a population
of 1,CC7,8C0, and property to the
value of $210,035,453, spends G53,
037 for schools ; 39 cents per capita,
and 31 cents on the $100, which is
one cent each better than South
Carolina.
November 5th will be election day
in nine states. Such elections are
always interesting, but are not al
ways of value as political indexes as
there is always more or less disinte
gration of parties in these off years.
In the base ball game in Raleigh
Monday between the Chicago female
champions and the Raleigh boys,
the score stood 24 to 17 in favor of
the girls. Of course this was a put
up job. Southern boys would be too
gallant to allow it otherwise.
The farmers in the Northwest are
becoming aroused. Since last May
not less than 75,000 farmers have
joined the Patrons of Husbandry,
more commonly known in this coun
try as the Grange, Their watch
word is war to the death against
trusts and monopolies. What vast
power the farmers will have when
the whole element becomes thor
oughly organized!
According to statistics in a late
number of the Farmer, the wealth
of this country is practically owned
by 250,000 men, or one in GO adult
males; 25,000 men own half the
wealth. There are seventy men whose
wealth aggregates $2,700,000,000.
This concentration of wealth is go
ing on at such a rapid rate that in
less than 30 years the wealth of this
country will be owned practically
by"50,000 men.
A
f
There seems to be a diversity of
opinion as to the advisability of set
tling Geromino and his Apache
band in Western North Carolina.
There are some who favor it on the
ground that they will have to be
supported by the United States Gov
ernment, and a military post will be
necessary to guard, thus leading to
a further expenditure of money and
the opening of a market for the
farmers and traders. Attorney Gen
eral Davidson opposes it on the plea
that it will interfere with the immi
gration of a desirable class of settlers.
WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?
There seems to be quite a diversity
of opinion as to the punishment
that is to be meted out to the Lex
ington lynchers, in case of their
conviction. Not a few express them
selves as being in favor of hanging
them. Now, while we condemn
lynching as much as any one, and
are as anxious for its entire abolition,
we do not approve of the extreme
penalty of hanging in this particular
case. This is the first case iu which
the State authorities have asserted
the power of the law, and have at
tempted to enforce it. They are
driven to this course by increasing
frequency of this barbarous prac
tice within the last few years, and
especially by the fact that this affair
followed so closely upon the heels
of the Morganton lynching in the
face of the Governor's proclamation
and public sentiment generally,
condemning that proceeding. But
although this is true, and people did
generally condemn it, yet this meth
od of summary punishment has
been tolerated in the past, and in
no instance has any effort been
made to suppress it by bringing the
offenders to justice. Iu this ac
quiescence there is more or less of
what might at least be called nega
tive approbation. Certainly there
was enough of it to rescue these Lex
ington lynchers from the extreme
penalty of hanging. They should
be tried and if convicted, should be
punished sufficiently to show that
our people are in earnest in putting
down this disgraceful and dangerous
tendency. Then in the future, with
this precedent before him, every one
would know what risk he runs in
thus rudely taking the law into
his own hands, and violating its
sacred majesty. The people, as a
body, must share the blame for al
lowing to exist hitherto an unhealth
ful public sentiment, and must not,
in their sudden haste to becomi
virtuous, sacrifice those, who were
to some extent, encouraged in thei
course by the history of the past.
RICH BEGGARS.
Here is an extract from Dr. Tal-
mage's appeal to the world for help
in rebuilding his Tabernacle recently
burned :
"We want to build something
worthy, of our city and worthy of
the cause of liod. e want f 100,000,
which, added to the insurance; will
build us what is needed. I make
anneal to all our friends throughout
Christendom, to all denominations,
to all creeds and those of no creed
at all, to come to our assistance. I
ask all readers of my sermons the
world over, to contribute as far as
their means will allow. What we
do as a church depends upon the
immediate respons made to this
call. I was on the eve of departure
for a brief visit to the Holy Land,
that I might be better prepared for
my work here, but that visit must
be postponed. I cannot leave uutil
something is done to decide our
future. May the God who has our
destiuy as individuals and churches
in His hand appear for our deliver
ance. Response to this appeal to
the people may be sent to nie at
Brooklyn, N. Y., and I will, with
my own hands, acknowledge the re
ceipt thereof."
Somehow this
does not strike us

favorable light.
much enthused as perhaps the rev-
wend doctor intended every one
should feel upon reading his appeal.
It seems to us Dr. Talmage is mak
ing a mountain of what is compar
atively only a mole hill. The church
was valued at about $180,000 and as
it was insured for $129,000 the net
loss is only about $50,000. What is
this sum to a congregation like Dr.
Talmage's, which is not only num
bered by thousands but is also one
of great wealth? A congregation
like his could not only rebuild their
temple, but erect the much more
capacious and elegant building the
doctor wants without calling on
the whole world to help them, and
would scarcely feel the loss of what
they had given. An undertaking
like this would not be as much to
them as the building of a modest
church to most of our congregations
in this country. We think the
doctor's appeal shows bad taste to
say the least of it, coming as it does
from a large and wealthy congrega
tion that is far more able to take
care of itself and meet its wants
than a large majority of those of
whom help is asked.

Wnftbington Letter.
Washington, Oct. 28th, '89
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Who cares to write on a subject so
threadbare as that of drink, will
find a field of ripe promise in Wash
ington. Yesterday afternoon I was
passing one of the most exclusive
restaurants in the city, when I ob
served three young ladies emerge
from the elegant vestible and enter
a public hack that had the curtains
partly drawn. All three were very
young women and very beautiful
women. I know two ; one the daugh
ter of a United States Senator ; the
other nearly related and the ward
of a member of the Supreme
Court All were drunk. They were
not simply tipsy, but drunk. One
dropped her hat, and the extra ex
ertion required to replace it so ex
hausted her that the vigorous
assistance of the jehu who drove the
ramechacle was necessary to place
her inside. Two helpless dudes who
tried to start a quick flirtation with
the young women were promptly
snubbed, an action which cast per
haps one ray of sunlight across their
record.
The sadness of the drink story is
nowhere more marked than in the
case of Henry D. Gregg, who went a
few days ago to the Missouri peni
tentiary for five years as sentence
for stealing a horse and buggy.
Gregg was the son of au able Irish
divine and after graduation at Dub
lin University came to this coun
try. He entered the service of Gen.
Sheridan as private secretary, and
was afterwards a clerk in the War
Department. He was a man of
pleasing address and considerable
ability. Every opportunity was given
him, but he would not reform. He
finally drifted west and his arrest
finishes the stcry. What temper
ance lecture could tell more ? What
but the simplest words are needed
to tell the story of his degradation?
Against the traffic in rum a bitter
war is waged by the organized teni
perance societies, but without mucl
effect. The Commissioners seek by
more or less judicious methods to
limit the tradei At present the con
sent of a majority of the property
holders of the block on which th
saloon is situated, is required. Thi
year the Commissioners announced
that no license would be granted to
women. This was so clearly uncon
stitutional that it has beeu aban
doned.
Among the better class of men in
business and political life, drunken
ness is rather on the waue. Twenty
years ago ho one in Washington drank
lager beer and very few touched ale.
Everything was brandy and whis
key. A few years later came the
first beer, sold by the first class sa
loons at ten cents per glass, and then
only in deference to a few pitied
customers. With the advent of beer
came the extended use of claret,
and it was but a step to the use of
soft summer drinks. To-day one
fifth of the drinks served over Wash
ington bars to men past forty, con
tainjio alchohol. Many elderly men
following the example of Mr Coul
dock, the seventy five year old actor,
have turned to sparkling apple cider
as their only beverage.
The six-bottle men of Sheridan's
time are but memories, and their
trans-Atlantic imitators are with
them. Think of Senator Tom Sev
mour, and, if you please, President
Franklin Pierce. Remember also
the tremendous drinking of George
S. Prentice and Senator MacDougal.
The latter gentlemau is said to have
never willingly drawn a sober breath
in five years. Public opinion has
u ndergone a weighty change. These
men would hardly be leaders ta-day,
The time when the political
arena was in the bar room has prac
tically passed away, and a more
decorous, even if it be, under the
rose, quite a3 wicked a one, has come
to us.
The Western members of Con
gresa jook ac me accession oi the
i i j i . j
four new States outside of party
grounds with satisfactson. One ef
fect of the admission will
be to secure more liberal
appropriation for that part known
as the "Far West." Their represen
tation in Congress will materially
lessen the ..power of Wall street as
against the producers of the West,
including the miners of silver and
lead and the baser metals. So also
the influence of New England man
ufacturers in so far as it may clash
with the desires of the Weit, will
be neutralized. The States West of
the Mississippi will demand equal
pririleges with their Eastern neigh
bors, and will be in positioii to en
force their demands. If thev beein
by dictating who shall be
speaker their success will be as
thorough as it will be sudden.
