Internal Revenue Corrupt lon.
Tho Democrats demand tbe entire
abolition of the Internal Revenue ayitein
for many reasons.
Aiuong thorn arc the following.
1. Ita employees constitute a well
disciplined corpa of partisan agents sup
ported at government expense.
Tho mere statement of this objection
carries conviction of it* force and truth
along wito it. Places in the Revenue
service arc given as rewards for services
rendered to the Radical party, and are
held by the continuance of such ser
vice.
Think of the thousands of men in tbe
Revenue sorvice, and of the work tboy,
i!3ually JTOigrot vhe IvNjical patty.'
! And vet these samo officials are fed anil |
♦lotlied out of taxei that conic in as full
measure fiotn Democrats as Radicals. I
Is it right to take Democratic taxes ;
! and feed Radical partisan agents with j
! thein.
'l. The patronage of ihe system affords 1
a never failing source of corruption ; it |
enables collectors to buy up voters and j
, to put canvassers in tbe field at Govern- I
; ment expense.
The abolition of tbo system would J
1 break up these nests of Federal patron
age which have infested tbe Stales for
I twenty years and have been tbe source I
I of more tyranny and of more intcrfer- I
: euec with the freedom of elections by
j the patronage of the Federal power than j
has ever been knowu in the history of tbe I
I country.
Tho system is a fearful nest from )
, which patronage batches the instruments
for controlling the olections in the State,
i 1> i not every man in North Carolina |
| knows this?
Tlie Trial ofTexmi Prenchers. j
I Texas preachers arc said to bo very j
i ecoeßtrio, and their mild unnaturalness
j ba: given rise to a great many remarks
; and a few stories. The following uura-
I live was told us confidentially by a
shnderet :
A tuitiisler arose before a large audi
ence, took his text aud began to preach.
A brisk firing of pislols began on the
outside of tho church.
"Brother Deacon," said tbe minister,
•'I believe thos s fellows are casting iuain
nation al me. In fact, I aui very nearly
convinced," he continued as a piece of
plastering fell from the wall close to his
head.
"I think, parson that it refers to some
one else," replied the deacon.
Tbo minister raised a tumbler of wa
ter, and was in the act of applying it to
his lips when tbo glass fell shattered by
a shot.
"This is an iuundo no longer," said
the minister wiping water from hi* vest,
'lbis is what I term an unmistable thrust,
i The congregaiion will please sing while
Igo out and investigate the matter. Is
there another preacher in the bouse
I "Yes," said a man, throwing down a
j stick which he been whittling arising
and pulling at the waist of his pants like
a man who had just straightened up af
ter setting out a row of tobacco plants
across a broad field.
"(Jot on an extra !"
"Yes."
"Utilimber."
The whittling preacher handed over
a large Remington pistol, which tbe in
sulted preacher took, and drawing oae
from his belt started out.
After going out there was a decided
improvement in the firing business. It
was decidedly more life-like, insomuch
that the deacoEs sat working their fing
ers. After awbilo the minister return
ed, and placing an ear and the nostril
aud a half of a nose on the pulpit re
marked :
"Ho that hath ears to hear let him
behave himself."

"I know dat but can't it go any

"No."

A.Wire's Last Kin.
Tho Saa Benito (Cal.) jh/vance
says:
About a month ago A. P. Camp,
accompanied by hit wife and child,
came from San Francisco for the
purpose of taking out sotp stone.—
Last month hit wife visited him at his
work. They were about starting for
their cabin a abort distance away.
Mr. Camp wat te enter the tußnel to
secure a shovel which ha detired, when
hit wife remarked:
"Never mind, I'll get it; you take
tbe child."
At she started for the entrance of
the tunnel she turned around and said,
'Kiss me first." The husband did so
and the started for the tunnel't mouth
again, but jntt before the reached it she
again turned around and laughingly
said, "Kits me once more." Her husband
complied for the tecond time, and then
ihe started for the tunnel. She had just
reached the entrance when the mast of
rockt and dirt gave way burying the
unfortunate woman in the debris and
causing her instant death. The father
and child escaped unhurt.
Woman -Her Influence
So great is the influenoo of tweet
uiiuded woman on those around her that
it it almost boundless. It is to her that
ftiends come in season of sorrow tnd
sickness for help and comfort; one sooth
ing touch of ber hand works wonders in
the feveruh child, a few words let fall
her lipt in tbe ear of a sorrowing sister,
does much to raise the load ef grief that
is bowing itt victim down to tbe dust
in anguith. The hutband comet home
worn out with tbe pressure of butiness,
and feeling it ritabls with the world in
general; but when he enters the coiy
titting-rooin a and sees the blase of the
bright fire, and meets his wife's smiling
face, he.succumbs in a moment to tbe
sootbiag influences whioh act as the
balmofGilead to his wounded tpirits,
that are wearied combating with tbe
stem realities of life. The rongb school
boy flics i« a rage from the taunts of bit
companion to find tolace in hit mother;
the little one full of grief with itt own
large trouble, finds a beaven of rest on
its mother's breait, and so one might go
on with instance after iustance of the
influence that a sweet-minded woman
has in the social life with whioh she it
connected.
Beauty, is an insignifieaut power who!)
compared with hers.
It's Me, Maw!
One of the pleasant features of Watoh
Hill is tbe children. Tbey arc all hero (
unless I am greatly mistaken, and their
name it legion, They usher in the day 1
j and drive away the night. After sup- '
| per they take possession of the hotels, 1
and then there is no poaco for the wick- '
ed.
"How your children have grown !"
said a lady to a blushing mother. 'Yet,'
refilled a bystander who had been occu
pying tho nefit room, "and they have
made me groan.' When the lights are
turned down and the time has come for
peace and quiet to reign over tbe house,
thhn tbe trouble begins. The followiug
; dialogue and concluding remarks were
' one of the features of a recent midnight
| in one of the hotels here :
'Ma f
'What, dear !'
'ls that you, ma •
'Yes. dear.'
«P» V
'What, dear ?'
'ls that you, pa ?'
'Yes, dear.'
'Good niglit-,' ma..'
'Good night, dear.'. ,*
I 'Good night, pa.' •
j "Good night, dear.'
j The dialogue had been repeated at
j intervals of 15 minutes for two hours,
when an elderly man in the adjoining j
J room who had been trying to sleep all !
j that time, rolled out of bed with a thud, !
j climbed up into the tiansoui and shout- i
| ed at the top of his lungs, 'Yes, it's me j
maw and it's me paw ; now go to sleep,
J vou little brat, or I'll come in there asd
chaw yon up.' Five minutes later a
calm brooded over the house, and no
sound was heard, save the last sob of a
weary wave telling its story to the
smooth pebbles of the beach.
Said a singer to a farmer :
'1 would like to engage board with
' yeu for a month.'
The husbandman looked at him for a
> moment, than asked :
'What do you do for a living ?'
> 'Oh, I sing iu a church choir in the
' oity.'
'You do, eh ? Well yoa can't board
1 with me.'
'Why not V gasped the wondering
warbler.
"'Cause,' replied Ihe soil-tiller, 'the j
, last fellow who boarded with ma was a
singer, and he had such a thundering
bass voice that every time he growled
all the milk in the cellar turned sour.'
Collectors have issued to their
| underlings something after this fashion :
, "I wish so and eo to bo elected from

my wishes are effected, and you can call
on me for tho means to effect the ends
desired." We do not hesitate to say
that this is a desperate gaine—one when

Twenty years ago, and even more
recently, a leave of absenoe, with pay,

' of at Washington. Leave, even without
pay, was not so easy to obtain. Now, a
month, with pay, is granted as a rule
'to persons in the service ef the
j Government, except day laborers. The
innovation became tho practice in
\ | Grant's time. It is pernicious, and can
be justified by no sound reasoning.

Democratic Platform.
Wo congratulate the people of North
Carolina on the era of peace, prosperity
aud good government which has been
uubrokeu since the incoming of a Dem
ocratic State administration ; upon tbe
puro and impartial administration of jus
tice and the honest enforcement of tba
laws, upon the efficiency of our couimou
school system aud great advance made
in education, and the general improve
ment and enterprise manifested in every
part of the State, and we plodgo our
selves to exert all efforts to advance the
; material interests of all section* of tbe
| State in tbu future as we have done in the
j past. And wc challenge a comparison
[ between a Democratic administration of
our State affairs and the crimes, out
rages and scandals that accompanied
Republican misrule. Affirming our ad
herence to Democratic principles as de
fined in Ihe platform adopted by tbe
Natioual Democratic Convention, held
at Cincinnati in 1880 :
Resolved, That we regard a fiee and
fair expression of the public will at the
ballot-box as the only sure means of pre
serving our free American institutions,
and we denounce tbe Republican party
and the interforenco of its federal officials
for their gross fraud* upon the eleotivo
franchise, whereby whale districts,
j States aud tho Uuion have been deprived
J of their just political rights ; and we be
' lievc the corrupt aud corrupting uso of j
I federal patronage, and of (.üblic money '
j drawn by taxation from the people, in
| influencing aud controling elections, to
be dangerous to the libortics of the
State and the Union.
Resolved, That we are in favor of tho
entire and immediate abolition of the in
tcrnal revenue system, with its attend
ant corruptions, and that we dcnmiuce
the present tariff' laws as grossly unequal,
unjust and vicious. We t'avor such a
revision of the tariff as will produce a
revenue sufficience for the economical
support of the government, with sucb
incidental protection as will give to do
mestic manufactures a fair competition
with those of foreign production. That
there abuuld be an immediate repeal of
all laws imposing a direct tax for the
support of the government of the Unit
ed States, but if it should prove imprac
ticable to abolish the internal revenue
| system with all its atteudiug demoraliz
ation, fraud and corruption, then we
urge upon our Senator* aud Represen
tatives in Congress the importance of so
amending tho law that the rcvenuo offi
cers who now receive in salaries in North
Carolina alone more than SSUU,UUO
shall be elected by the people of the
localities to which they are assigned.
Resolved, That the course of tbe Dem
ocratic party since its accession to pow
er in North Carolina in furtherance of
popular education is a sufficient guaran
ty that wo earnestly favor the education
of all classes of our people, and that we
will advocate any legislation lookiug to
an iucrease of tho fund for that purpose
that will not materially iucrease tbe
present burdens of our people.
Resolved, That the question of pro
hibition is not now, and never has been,
a party question iu North Carolina, aod
never teen eudorsed by the Democratic
party, and the people of tho State at
the generul election, iu the year 1881,
having by an overwhelming majority vot
ed against prohibition, and the Surpreiue
Court having decided thnt the prohibi
tion act is uot and never has beeu a law,
we regard tho matter as finally settled,
and any attempt to renew the agitation
is merely a weak effort of designing per
sons to divert the minds of the people
from tbe dangerous principle* and cor
rupt practices of the Republican par
ty-
Resolved, That while we are not wed
' ded to any particular form of eounty
: government, we recognixe the fact that
i a large part of the taxes of the Stat* are
i paid for the common benefit by tb«
■ whit* people of our eastern counties, and
that we consider it the bounden duty
of the white men of the State to protect
these people from the oppressive domiu
atian of ignorant blacks, and pledge
ourselves to such legislation as will se
cure this end.
And whereas it is *eriously suggoated
that a vigorous effort will soon be made
to compel the State, by judicial proceed
ings, to pay tho fraudnlent and unlawful
special tti bonds, amounting to $22,-
000,000, issued under legislation passed
by the Republican Legislature in 1868
and 1867 ; therefore,
Rttolvrd,further, Th«t the Democrat
ic party will resist snch recovery and
the payment of such bonds by every
I lawful means,
