Conjuring clouds tomorrow, While yet no signs of rain. Future gloom foreboding At night on pillows toss, In fear of overloading The bridge we do not cross. From road there is no turning That we can see just now, Trouble ahead discerning, To avoid we know not how, And so we roll and tumble At night, with sleep a loss, -And hear the distant rumble. On the bridge we do not cross. We see no silver lining On clouds our fancy paints, No stars through rifts are - shining, Blackness our path attaints. When daylight shows our folly We then may count the .cost, passing streams of melancholy, The bridge we have not crossed. News Letter. RETIRES IN HIS ZENITH. It is now settled that the Hon orable Thomas B. Reed will re tire from public office.- He -has resigned his seat in Congress and the resignation has been ac- cepted. There is but: one step higher to which he may have .aspired and it is admitted that the Speaker of the House has little in the way of power and influence of which to envy the President. Whatever aspirations he had to the. presidency, too, he subor dinated to a degree of modesty and dignity that, like some of his other traits, wrung admiration from his rivals and political ad versaries. The time was when he was re garded the most arbitrary pre siding officer the Congress of the United States ever had, and his name was a stench in Democratic nostrils, and yet, without any apparent revolution in his man ner, he was -found commanding universal respect for his official rulings He will retire to build up his private estate, it is said. ,If this and a desire to quit public life in the meridian of a splendid career without the humiliation of defeat and decline, he has probably in this very thing justified, the estimate of him as one of America's most upright and level headed men. Some men get- rich in Congress and go out of office when be- - uvucu Kjy tiitjir uwn ueeu.s ana .discarded by the people. 'Something seems to be the matter with the Salisbury Sun. It has come to shming" on our desk just 24-hours later than formerly. We would almost as well expect it to come ahead of time as our neighboring city 4 seems to have all the hump on her that has become too common in othertowns to be boasted of BOW-a-days. NOTE THOSE WORDS. . We notice that in Mr. James Creelman's' late interview with Mr. Bryan, in which the former's question implied the advisability of declaring for bimetalism with out designating the ratio 16 to 1 in the next national Democratic pletform, Mr. Bryan is very clear and strong in his individual opinion that there should be no letting down on the 16 to 1. But the part we started out to note in this interview is this well-said and very evident truth from Mr. Bryan: "Men support a platform as a whole, of ten dissenting from particular parts." He further says, "To a large majority of the party the platform will be en tirely good; to some It jwill be better on the whole than the Republican platform. In a bat tle, those are on our side who are aiming at the enemy.''. These are words by which we wish many of our enthusiastic 16 to 1-ers would stick a peg. In the campaign of '96 they practi cally threw away every plank of the Chicago platform but the silver plank, and if you could not stand flat-footed on that they wawled their disdaining orbs at you, and plainly indicated the charge that you were a traitor, and should get out and take your position with the Republicans, though there were less in com mon with your convictions there than where your own senses of right and judiciousness placed you. : - ' But we hardly need to call a t tention to it, for bigoted cranks will be doing the same thing next year again. The comfort is that a sensible man can keep on his straight-forward course and need not be SWerved by the would-be tyrants , over . individual con science., i " The third edition of "Sketches of Charlotte" by Mr Wade Har ris is before us' and is a most handsome edition. It is truly a fitting expression of a' proud people, justly proud of" a; most beautiful and progressive city. Its cuts are very handsome but the panoramic view, like that of any live town in this live period, is out of date already;, The author presents it, however, and makes it the basis of a pen pic ture of what Charlotte is today and reasonably hopes' to be for some time yet in the future. A diagram on the title page shows the rapidity with which the popu lation has increased from 8,500 in 1880 to 29,000 now. Charlotte is progressive and Mr. Harris knows how to tell it. We want to smile, however, at the map on the second page which makes Charlotte a kind of Southern hub. Gen. Bates has secured some kind of treaty with the Sultan of the Zulu Archipelago- by which the United States flag is to float over that group of islands. The situation is just northeast of i the Barneo. The United; States will protect the islands from outside interference and in return will enjoy all the essential features of sovereignty, but local and pri vate matters will Jbe left as they are, for instance, the Sultan can keep all his wives. We don't want them. . ' Death From the Oil Can. Mrs. John Hayes, who lived six miles from Durham, died Thursday night after, suffering most horribly from burns re ceived 48 hours before She was kindling the fire by use of the oil can. A MOTHER TELLS HOW SHE SAVED DAUGHTERS, LIFE. I am the mother of eight child ren and have had a great deal of experience with medicines. Lnst summer my little daughter had the dysentery in its worst form. We thought sh wou'd din. I tried everything I could think of. I saw by an advertisement in our paper that Chamberlain' colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was highly recommended and sent and got a bottle at "once. It proved to be one of the very best medicines we ever had m the house. It saved my little daught er's life. I am anxious for every mother to know what an excellent medicire it is. Had I known it at first it would have saved me a great deal of anxietv aud my little daughter much euffering. Yours truly, Mrs. Geo. F. Bur dick, Liberty, ii. I. For Sale by M. L.
