NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRA CY. rt.ATKIIIt M OK PARTY ADOPTED IN \ STATE CONVENTION AT ItA!.- Eltlll, MAV, 1S88." We again eoinlgrntulato the people of North t'moliiiu on the continued enjoy ment ot peace, good government and general prosperity under Democratic i administration of tlio Stule which has I now been unbrokcu fo so many yours, upon the just aud iin tiul enforcement , of tlio law, upon the ii" . "ffiuien ey of our COIIUO ;. "'"ys Ul iu' . ' the progress made in popular education; upon the improvement and enterprise uianilcstcd in all parts of the State. We : again challenge a comparison betwi u tlio state of things and the outrages, crimes mid scandals which attended Re publican ascendancy ill our borders. We ! pledge ourselves to exert iu the future ; us 111 the past our best efforts to pto j mote the best interests of the people of all sections of the State. Affirming our ■ j aiilicrcnoc to Democratic pritici) les as I hertofore enuueiated in the platforms of the party, it is hereby Resolved, That no government has the right to burden its people with taxes I bevond the amount required to piv its 1 necessary expenses and gradually extui ( guish its public debt; and that when ever the revenues, however derived, ex ceed this amount, they should be rcduc i cd, so as to avoid a surplus iu the trcas [ ury. That any system of taxation which necessitates the payment of a premium of §270 by the government 011 each SI,- 000 of its bonds, takin up with the mil— ' | lions that would otherwise lie idle iu its 1 vaults, and paid tu bondholders who I purchased in many instances, at less i than par, is uudcinociutie, oppressive ; and iniquitous and should be refunded. ' | The course of our Democratic Represen tatives in Congress, 111 their efforts in • 1 give relief to Ihe people from burden r j saiuc internal revenue and tariff taxa ! tioti, meets with the approval of the Democratic party of this Stale and we respectfully recommend that is they find I it impossible to givo to the people all the 1 i relief they demanded, they support any I just and practical measure presented in Congress that will afford a practical re lief from such existing burden. Resolved, That while the details ot r 1 the methods by which tji: upL.-'itutiomil j revenue tariff shall be i. adualiy reached aie snbjeots which the representatives of i our our people at the national capital 1 must be trusted o adjust, wc think the custom duties should be levied lor the i | pioduetfii of public revenue, aud the I discriminations in their adjustment { should be such as will place the highest j rales on luxuries aud the lowest ou the j necessaries of life, distribute as equally |as possible the unavoidable burdens of ; taxation, and confer the greatest govd ou the greatest number. That wc, us heretofore, fa ; vor, and will never cease to dctnaud, the ; unconditional abolition of the whole in j ternul revenue system, as « war tax, not ito be justified iu times of peace; as a ' grievous burden to o'lr people uud a source of annoyance 111 its practical op erations. Wo call the utt.iiiioii ot' the ' people of the State lo the hypocritical pretuiisins of the Republican pally in their platforms that ihoy arc in favor of the acpea ot this onerous system taxa tion, enacted by their party, while the itepi blleans in C tigress uro taxil g thoir j energies to obstruct all legislation in - \ augurated bo ihc representatives of the j Democratic party to 1 elievc the people of all or 11 part uf this odious system. | Resolved, That the course of the Democratic party, in furtherance of pop ular education, is a sufficient guarantee that we favor the education of the peo ple, tud wc will promote and improve the present educational advantages so far as it can be done without butdcui'ng the people by excessive luxation. Itesolved, That to meet an existing evil, we will accept, for educational pur— | poses, from the Federal G ivernnient or ' pi o ruin share of the surplus in its trea sury; Provided, that it bo disbursed 1 through State J, the bill for | the distribution he fred*from objoctiuu- I able features. Resolved, That the United States bc ' tug one government and ours a national 1 party, we denounce the efftuts of the Re| üblicau* to force seotionul issues in 1 Congress and elsewhere, and to promote disscntion and ill will betweu the pso ple of the different sections of our com -1 mou country. Rcsolvad, That it is due to tlio peo ple of our easti m courties, who have so cheerfully borne their share of our com mon burdens, that the present or some 1 equally effective system of county gov ernment shall be maintained. Resolved, That the Democrati 3 party is opposed to any further extension of i the "No-felioe"' law, unless sueh extcn ' sion shall liavo first been authorized by majority of the qualified voters wltliia the territory to be affected thereby, j Resolved, That the Democratic party has ever bceu tho party of the working uisn, and has never fostered monopolies, uor uuve "trusts" or •'combinations" or ! "pools'' ever grown up under laws en acted by it. The contest in this coun try bciug between aggtegatod capital, seeking to crush out ail competion, and i ' the individual laborer, the Deuioeratio ; pnrty is, as it has ever been, aga&nst the monopolist aud in favor of a just dis ri hulion of capital, and demands the en i act meet of luwa that will bear equally 1 upon all. | Resolved, Thit as all taxation boars most heavily upon the laborer, it is the dutv of the legislator, as a direct benefit tn the workingiuan, to keep the expenses ot our public institutions at the lowest limit consistent with wise and efficient management. The Deuioetatic party opposes any competition between free ami convict labor, but it insists tint convicts shall not remain idle at the ex pense of honest labor. Itesolved, that ours being an agricnl- 1 tur.il Statu, it is our duty us well as our j pleasure to promote any and sill legisla , to n that is best calculated to advauec the iutereatu of agriculture, uud tint in so doing wu will most effectually advance the interest of mechanics, inauufaetur ...Vj(,r !.ikorei*. Itesolved, That the Democracy of j North Carolina, cord ally approve the ; administration of Hon. Alficd M. Scales ; as honest, pntiiotio and conservative. Resolved, That the ability, wisdom, I honesty, patriotism, independence, faith* ! fulness to duty uud manly courage of ■ President Cleveland have won the iidini - I at ion of all good men; and iho interests • of the country demaud his re-nouiiuation and re-election. lIOW TO KEEP OFF COLDS. " Tlicrc is not so much pneumonia now as there was last month and during the proceeding ones," said Dr. DeWolf. ' Malaria, however, is on the increase. I'ueumonia is caused principally by the carelessness of people, who, when they 1 find one spring-like day change their clothing. Winter clothing should not be materially changed in this climate until good weather has come to sta;, about the middle of May or the Ist of Juno, lijd drainage undoubtedly pro duces uiulntiiil diseases, but it is Lot well to dogniatitu upon the subject when we remember that the death rate from malaria is very high on the llerk. shire lulls, in Massuchiiaclt., where drainage scarcely eiitcis into the con sideration of disease. To escape pneu mauia people should be more careful iu spring than Curing winter, and to avoid every appearance of chill should uot change the quantity or i(uulity of under clothing until Juno." Dr. W. M. Tomtinwn, also of the Health Oflioe, said: "Soft weather as it is culled, is tlio prinoipal cause of pneu inouia. I'coplu expose themselves thoughtlessly, and when tlio first lino day appears leave off their ovMeoa's or change tiieir uvcr.!oats or change their underclothing. It is uot generally un . doratovd, us it ought to be, that when a thaw comes alter a severe cold spell we mo much more apt to catch cold than when the thermometer is down to nolo. When the weather is very cold a man who has taken exercise aud is per spiring may'set down, even in Ihc open a:r, with comparative immunity from chill, but if it should bo thawing the same man is a| tto catch a severe cold. A process of evaporation is vring on in the latter case, and the body throws of! hen I in a way which renders one pecu liarly liable to chill. l'cople require warm clothing more in spiing than 111 winter on account of the sudden olid dangerous climatic changes. Cold baths, when taken regularly and properly, form u good preventive of colds and pneumonia. By bathing properly is mca it that a person should remain ill the water a very short time, and that more rapid circulation should immedi ately follow the bath, l'lioso who can not take a cold bath without experienc ing a chilled sensation while dressing uud afterward should not take cold baths ut all."—Chicago Time*. CAKE OK (XII.I 1. A cold is a department from health, and should really be attcuded to at once. ! Do not let it cure itself. Oct rid of it ! soon. Do not feed it though, but I starve it.

The story of the reservoir has really a moral for every one of us— Cimelt's Family .Miigu- A TIMELY FABLE. A rich man had a piece of land 011 which a poor mule was grazing. "I shall L nuess you," raid the uisu to the mulo, "and make you plow tins und to grow melons on, uf which I am vi ry fond while the stalks will supply you with food." To which the mule replied' "If 1 consent to toil on your plan you w II have the mclous and i will be worse off than 1 am now, inasmuch as 1 will have to «it dry stalks lustead of fresh vreen grass.
