WILMINGTON, N. C. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1891. STOP . AND CONSIDER. "We read with, profound regret -what is reported of the utterances of Mr. Marion Butler, the President of the State Alliance.1 He said he spoke as an officer of the Alliance. . The point of chief interest is this: The Alliance will push ,the; Sub Treasury scheme if it breaks to ' pieces the Democratic party. It will enter the Democratic Convention not as Democrats, but with a meas ure that must be accepted or the AN liance sets up for itself as an inde pendent political organization. That is the ultimatum? The non Alliance Democrats must go for" the unconstitutional scheme as they un derstand it, and permit the Alliance - to lay down its own platform for all to stand upon, or the old party must be riyen and destroyed. Can it be possible that Mr. Butler speaks for the conservatism, wisdom and patriotism of the Alliance in North Carolina? Must the State be again put under the control of Radical scallawags, negroes and carpet baggers, in order that a system of pure and simple class legislation ; and centralization, as many able men regard it, may be fastened upon the country? Is that the outcome of the intelli gence and statesmanship and true republicanism of this old State? We do not wish to believe it. We , cannot believe yet that a scheme like the SubTreasury will be used by the Alliance to help elect the Republi cans to office, to control the Legisla ture, and to set back the civilization and prosperity of the State for ten or twenty years. If there is no conservatism, no statesmanship among the "good gray heads" of the Alliance then there . . will be one State lost in 1892, and in two years of folly and misrule more ruin will be wrought than genuine wisdom and statesmanship can do for the State in ten. succeeding year 8. If there was ever a time for cool, dispassionate reason and delibera tion it is now. We hope that the intelligence and ability of the Alli ance will assert themselves and save it from being turned into a political machine that will disrupt the grand old Democratic party of principle, and turn over all Eastern Carolina bound hand and foot into the cruel clutches of the old Radical party of . plunder and miscarriage. Let the non-Alliance men and the Alliance men think long before they take the fatal, final plunge, God save the State. The Messenger stands ready to help the farmers. It has always been ready to help them. The Demo cratic party is, has been, and will be the friend of the 'farmers. The Messenger deplores the threats of disruption. It would in its sphere do all it could to preyent a Third party, fully beleiving that such a course will -be disastrous to North Carolina in every particular po litical, social, educational and mat terial. It says this because such a course will bring into power the de-j-ri vouring black and tan party under the control of incapable scallawags and canning carpetbaggers. North Carolina is not ready for such a calamity. Thei Messenger earnestly appeals to the conserva. tive, reflecting, white element to do all that it is possible to do consistent with principle to prevent a line of action that ends in Radical supra macy and the return of the horrors and profligacy of Reconstruction times. It is impossible to exagge rate the extent of the calamity if the Democratic party and white supre macy in North Carolina are over thrown. Surely there is no good and suffin cient reason or cause for the deter mination of Butler, Polk and com pany to try to compel the Demo cratic party to accept a measure that does not command the united sup port of all Southern Alliance mem bers and that is of such very doubt ful wisdom, expediency and consti tutionality. Surely, a less drastic measure, a less objectionable meas ure to so many calm, thoughtful people can be devised upon which a compromise can be effected, We have no doubt the Demo cratic party will go as far as it can to meet the demands of the Alliance consistent with the well known basic - principles of the party. Let us con aider well and do nothing rashly. The issue forced and the division made and then all is over. It will be too late then to get together. THE IRISH LEADER. nell in the death of Charles S. Par Ireland loses the greatest party leader it probably ever had with the one exception perhaps of Daniel O'Connell." We do not know, that such an exception should be made. While O'Connell possessed magnet ism, fervid eloquence and other qualities much beyond Parnell, it is at least doubtful if he was endowed with those great traits of character and that intellectual poise.- and equipment that fitted him for su preme leadership as were the known characteristics of the head of the Home Rulers, Parnell was singun laily cool, balanced, deliberate, self contained, bold and determined. He was a formidable debater speaker of clear, direct, forceful English, and a master of assemblies, He showed consummate leadership and master" ly adroitness and ability, and until he was wrecked by his immoral es capades he manifested a high devo tion to Ireland as well as singular sanity of judgment. He was unquestionably one of the great men of his time, and deserves as a party leader to rank with the foremost of this century of all lands. He died suddenly and his unexpected taking off will mitigate the severity of criticism upon his failures, and perhaps throw; a certain glamour around, his name. He leayes no man of the Irish race who is able to fill -his seat 'or .to accomplish for Ireland what he has . done. He made a great and fatal blunder to wards the close of his somewhat short life, and cast a blur upon his escutcheon that "will last with his name. But it will not be denied that a man of very marked powers has gone to his graye. SHARPS AND FLATS. i Late gossip is that Blaine is huffy and will resign, according to Repre sentative Conger, and fat Tom Reid may resign to accept a big offer. We hope both reports are itrue, but ao not believe either. . ; Mr. Gladstone will spend the corns ing winter in Florence, Italy. He ought to try Florida or North Caro lina. - ; Extreme Kadicals in England are not satisfied with the Uladstone pro gramme. They want to start a third party. That is the, way to keep the Tories in power. It is like a Third party in the South. That means Radical victory. The Atlanta Journal was boycotted by the Alliance of Georgia. It has gone, up from 17,500 daily circulation to 18,030. But in the land of the free what a monstrosity is boycotting for opinion's sake. That belongs to Russia or the Dark Ages. Marion Crawford's last novel, "The Witch of Prague," is highly praised by the London Academy, and New York Iribune. ' The Boston Post does , not think .much of it.

We are not surprised to learn that bis death is generally considered in Paris as a victory for the Republic What a weak character Vicious. BRIEFLY HISTORICAL AND PRE FATORY, j uranvine county was erected in 1746. It was a part of Edgecombe. It embraced a large territory. War ren, Franklin, Vance, Person, ; Or ange and Alamance were a part of it. Its first court house was on Roanoke river, now in Warren, at the plantation of the first William Eaton, grandfather of the well known lawyer of that name, now deceased. The next court house was about two and a half miles from the present town of Henderson on John S. Eaton's mill - pond. The third court house was Oxford, then a mere cross roads. The county of Bute was cut off from Granville. It was the precise territory now included in Warren and Franklin and the parts taken from them to make Vance county Its court house was eight miles from Warrenton. X torn aDout isos to low we were in the habit of visiting the beautiful -1 S m . m n - ' I and capacious home of our friend, Dr. George Feild, on the road from Warrenton. to the once famous Jones's Springs. Passing through his front gate and turning towards Warrenton you passed in three or four hundred yards old Bute Court House, or what was left. It was on the right of the road. We well re member tracing the foundations by the bricks, partly hidden under the ground and partly visible. Turning in the direction of Jones's Springs, and going possibly three quarters of a mile, you saw a nun dred yards from the road and on the siue me om court nouse stood, a monumental shaft erected to the memory of Gen. Jethro Sumner, one of the most meritorious officers of the War of Independence in the South. In July, last, his lemains were moved and interred upon the battle ground of famed Guilford Court House, a few miles from the town of Greensboro. This was ac complished through the patriotic love of Judge Dayid Schenck, of Greensboro, the author' of that very valuable historical - work, "North Carolina in 1781." On the 4th July, 1891, the ser vices were held in the presence of many visitors at the Battle Ground, when Prof. Kemp P. Battle, LL. D., of the University of North Carolina, delivered a long address upon the "Life and Services" of Gen. Sumner, to, which we purpose referring at another time. We have given this brief historic introduction because it will be new to many people in even the counties once comprising historic Granville, still a fine county, but as wen as very greatly mutilated and shorn. We never knew of the points given connected with. Granville and- Bnte until we . made a special study of all known: records, in 1876, prepara tory to the writing of a "History of Granville County," which we did at the request of the people of said eounty. The manuscript lies buried deep in an old trunk of documents and literary debris. It will not do to publish as it is, as only a part was written carefully and with an eye to publication. It may be of use thirty or nity years nence to some man who may see it and who loves his native North Carolina, and wno would write , a book or "sing a song at least." AVOID DOUBTFUL ISSUES ANll DOUBTFUL CANDIDATES. The basis of law is common sense The basis of a political plat tor m ought to be common sense, equity and wisdom. Surely it cannot be wise to force the silver question as an issue in 1892, in the Democratic campaign of all the States. Already Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl vania, New Jersey and Maryland Democrats have spoken and repu diated the silver theory. If the Virs ginia Democrats or those of any other State shall endeavor to foist this measure upon the party as nart of the nl&tform of principles in 1892, they will invite certain defeat They start with a divided party, and with that load to carry the Democ racv will be fortunate if it can ob tain 140 electoral yotes. r On the other hand, the Democratic party is thoroughly united f ron Aris took, in Maine, to the Florida Capes and from Southport to San Fran cisco upon the Question of lower taxes and tariff reform and reduc tion. Make that the chief issue if the patty is to continue united and to win the great national sweeps stakes. The Democracy of no State are an unit on silyer. There is division of opinion among the most intelligent men in the party in all the States. Then again people are less for party now than formerly. The spirit of independence is abroad in the land and is becoming yearly a more im portant agent m determining elec tions. You cannot persuade moral. conscientious, reflecting men, who really desire honest and just govern ment, to vote for some candidates who may be chosen, or to support a party that puts in its platform rot ten, unsafe planks, upon which they are unwilling to try to stand. Avoid issues that invite bolting or indes pendency; avoid candidates who will silence or drive off men who re gard virtue and character, and be lieve that the offices of the country demand men of high morality and integrity.

Eteryman has in his own life follies enough; in his own mind trouble enough; in his own fortune, evil enough, without being curious after the affairs of others. Mr. T. E. Wiley, 146 Chambers street, New York City, says that Ayer's Sarsaparilla cured him of a dry and goaly humor, from which he had suffered intolerably. He adds: "I have not now a blemish on my body, and my cure is wholly due to Ayer'a Sarsaparilla." The Old Original Remedy Leads.

If, as Polk says in the Progressive Farmer for this week, "Jerre bimp- son is the equal in character to any man in North Carolina," it will not deter us from informing the people of this State that Simpson has been a life-loner Republican, and that oik is now acting in concert with him to destroy the Democratic j?arty through the agency or a tnira party. Col. Polk is now defending Simpson as he did Rittenhouse. Is be con yinced that the latter "seryed him a trick?" Raleigh News Observer. Mr. Keogh, of Greensboro, may be better posted than we are, but we doubt it, and deny his right to speak 1 for the North Carolina Uemocraoy. The ascertion that "it would please the Democracy to have Polk and his followers support a ihird party ticket in 1892 'is not true. Indi viduals may lose their heads, but the great body of the Democracy is cool and conservative. Ihe Alliance is a factor in the Democratic party that cannot be eliminated, and the Third party has little support from the rank and file of the order. Col. Polk has gieat influence with the Alliance but he is neither a dictator nor an autocrat. He who belieyes that North Carolinians can be led by a halter in the hand of any man knows nothing of the spirit of our people. New Bern Journal. PUBLIC OPINION. Governor Campbell is making a magnificent fight. Whether he sWall be re-elected cr not, he has shown himself to be the 'most courageous Democratic leader and the best stump-speaker in the West. Speak ing at the centre of the glass and pottery industries, and again at the mining and iron region, to great crowds of soscalled "protected" woikingmen, Goyernor Campbell asked tbem to their faces how many had received an increase of wages since the increase of from 25 to 50 per cent, in the tariff on the products of their labor. The answer in each case was: "Nary one !" Governor Campbell boldly challenged Major McKinley to name a single protectee industry in the State of Ohio wherein the wages have been increased by the operation of his tariff law. N. T.
