J. t 1 1 x m giau io gee duck nome again, qui mother, leuame say, I've heard the grandest speech's thatfs ben spoke1 fer ntony a dayf J Fer Moses don't know nawthin,' as f'erfeseor Gadol shows U3, An' I'm pmud of the Petfessor, but . it's mighty rough on Moses. Why, he didn't know geography ; he really thought the sun Iiizinthe east fud trav'lin' west, sot there, whei day wa3 done ; John Jasper, the Perfessor says, the same idee proposes, An if John Jasper stands it, wjiy, I reckon so kin Moses. An' he didn't know geology ; the feller thought the earth Was made an' finished in a week, from center plum to girth ; Bat Gadol says the very least that any scholar knows is, It wasn't made till Moses died : so that jest settles Moses, An' he got his hist'ry all mixed up why, the Perfessor says He jest invented history, like actors writin' plays; But we've dug up some slab3 an' things, an ever' one discloses Thet the Red Sea was a gravel ridge, back in the days of Moses. He didn't talk good grammar; an' Perfessor says it look3 Like ef he stole his po'try from the 'Gyptian sacred books; As fer the water from the rocky, why Gadol he supposes, He tapped a secret reservoir; all killin' slick, was Moses. Fer Moses lived in that same land, for forty years or more, An' he'd found them springs, an' Manna trees,and pigeon roosts before ; An' he led the people to 'em, ez the narrative discloses, Then he went an' lied about it; this wasn't right in Moses. He went up Pisgah, from whose summit Canaan might be seen, But climbed too high an' tumbled in some deep an' dark ravine; They couldn't find his body, an' the postscript jest discloses That he fooled 'em to the very end; the artfulness of Moses. Then Perfessor Haggadol got up, and sayed they want no call To argy things that scholarship Lad settled, once fer all ; An' he proved it easy, plain as on our faces show our. noses, That 'not a line of Moses' books was ever writ by Moses. But Doctor Sopher, Ph. D., D. D., an' Double L. D., Ariz an' Bayed that by a strict re gard fer truth impelled, he Must tell us calmy that the highest criticism closes This question, fer they never was no seen a man ez Moses, Well, anyhow, I'm tired, an' I'm gcin' right to bed; I'd say my prayers fust, ef Jmowed jest how they should be said Ter ef the startin' point is wrong, why common sense supposes It's worse the furder & it goes, on lines laid down by Moses. So now I lay me down to sleep ; Lord rest my troubled brain; I pray the Lord my soul to keep, make mv pathway plain; an ft I should die befoft I wake, if so His will proposes, I pray the Lord for His name's sake, to take me straight to Moses.

Clieves Nifys f tie Trohibitio n rar-4an d Par? ty is Separate From! lie Third ty-.llit Talk Last Night. Charlotte Observer. m The court house was completely filled last night with an audionce assembled to hear Col. R S Cbeves, the Kentucky Prohibition orator. Col. Cheves spoke for two hours, handling the prohibition question in its politicarhearings in an interest ingmanner. He discussed the is sues pending in the great national campaign, and made pretty plain his sentiments in regard to the kinship of the People's party and the Pro hibition party. In the course of his remarks he said that the Prohibi tion party wa3 no more the People's party than the Democratic party ia the Republican party. True a un ion has been effected in this county but there had not'beeu the national union, and he doubted if the State committee wou d ratify this local union. Cel. Cheves is a strong ads vocate of woman's suffrage. He took the ground that the Supreme Court had decided that women were citis zeus, and therefore entitled to a vote. Otherwise it were- taxation without representation. The speaker gave the People's par ty ' Hail Columbia," to put. it on mildly aid possible, lie said the Democratic and Republican parties both had principles, but the Third party had none. Colonel Cheves be lieves Cleveland will be elected, and that by a large majority. All who heard the address except Third party men were pleased with it. Col. Cheves is an attractive speaker and had no trouble in holding his audience even through a two hours' session. Cajtt. Afclifi'n Fljcnros. Capt. S A Ashe, the editer of the News and Observer, was for several years chairman of the Democratic State committee. He is capable and studious observer of the political campaign in this State, and well qualified to express an opinion on the situation at.tb.is stage of the canvass from the Democraric stand point. In a special to the Washing ton 'Post, he is quoted as saying; "In figuring On the election in this State most people, I see, are doing bo on the basis that the ne groes will poll 115,000 votes. That is incorrect, because no account is taken. of the heavy negro exodus of Bjme three years ago, conducted by 'Peg-leg' Williams and other emgra tion agents. "The natural increase in negro population from 1880 to 1890 was probably 16 per cent, which would have made the negro voting popu lation 122,000 in 1890. The ,cenus of that year, however, showed it to be only 109,000, so the inference is that the negro lost 13,000 voters by the exodus of 188990. Virtually that number can be deducted from the Republican vote of 1888, which would make it in round numters 123,000. To this must be added the natural increase for four yeais say 7,000, making the Republican vo? in 1892, without any party khange3, 130,000. That would leave 170,000 (estimating the , touu vote this year at 300,000) for the Democratic vote, a majority of 40, 000 on a full vote. "About 5,000 of the, negroes are disfranchised, and many of them are old. some will be sick, and ( there are others tho cannot or will one cause 01 jfuother. fc s v opinion thatno? over 95,000 negro vofcswill be iib in 'd,vvj negro voces-win oe fa. thisJ3tate next NierberJting 20,n uuu less T,hau tne number urrured on generally. "Were it not for the defection of Democrats to th Third pary, I should say the Democratic vfte would reach 70,000. How many white Democrats are goinj; to desert the flag is mere conjecture It 25, 000 of them do so we would still have 145,000 for Cleveland. In my opinion in order to defeat Cleveland in North Carolina, Mr. Harrison ivill have to poll 95,000 negro votes and get 50,000 white votes besides. "But fliere is another phase of the question: If Weaver receives 25, 000 formerly Democratic votes, he is reasonably sure to get at lea'st 5.000 ex-Republican votes. I uns derstand that the Republicans admit that 20 per cenUof the third party vote will oe Republican, and that will lesson Harrison's chances. "A combination of the Harrison and Weaver forces would prove threatening to Democratic succesa were it not that such fusion would probably result in the return of many third party men to the Demo . cratio fold rather than support Harrison "So, I should Bay that the danger line thus "seems to be a vote for Weaver in excess of 35,000. I do not think that the third party can 1 poll that many vo es by several thousand and I therefore, say that the State would seem to be for Cleveland. It is f.odsible, howeyerJ that the Democrats may lose the legislature. The election of the Democratic State ticket I regard as certain." A lloiKliirni Kewolution Winds up n Uttual. "NTfiw Orleans.
