He had stupendous power of exaggeration and descriptive gifts in vast opulence." He sometimes wrote when his fancy was chaste, subdued, limpid, graceful. Again It was tumultuous and unruly and was all . aglow with scintillations of genius. He had , great vehemence, tremendous Imagination, intense force, marvellous clearness, but often lacked taste, serenity, calmness. His powers were in excess and were not always under -curb From his wrltngs can be , gleaned passages of great splendor force, beauty, originality and imagina tion. We could easily find scores to il lustrate this view. He ha enormous' talent for this kind of work. His de fects of taste, his excels offend many who read French novels and prefer them to all others. H;is quaintness, his surprises.his far-fetched conceits.his excessive- imaginative displays.so abound ing and startling; his liveliness, his grotesqueness, his lurid pictures, his vividness, his grimness, 4his command over details, his very vehemence of style, his feverish excitability, his sa tire, his rollicking ' and uncontrolled fun.' his delightful humor, his lyrical touches here and there, his charming gaiety what, a combination, what a wonderful aggregation of gifts, -of en dowments so royally bestowed. We have enjoyed Dickens through more than a half century.- We delight in a writer of such fecundity, such fresh ness, such virility, such resourceful ness, such uniqueness. He has put the world under obligations, and will long continue to reign as a master of emo tion in the literature of power, who "moves his reader in the most inner depths, and becomes the .master of all hearts," tp quote from the Frechman Taine's able, thoughtful, analytical, es say on Dickens, occupying nearly thir ty of his large pages In hi3 splendid work "History of English Literature." REMGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR . suNDAT. ; There, are thousands of people in North Carolina as well as thousands in other southern states who will 'be anxious to read the 'Autobiography and iMemoir" of the late eminent Rev. Cha. F. Deems, D. D., LL. D. He was so long identified with North. Carolina and the south, and was so gifted, so useful, ao eloquent, so distinguished, and so .loved that his life cannot fail to prove of much interest to a large body of readers. We can assure tin em that they will not be disappointed in the interest of this new . biographical work of 365 pages, and excellently printed. It is of very uncommon. In terest indeed. We hardly found a iparagraiph that' did not hold ais or In form us or fascinate us. It Is exceed ingly well prepared. The . two sons who edited it and have prepared the "Memoir," have used the large material left 'by their father a brief autobiog raphy prepared fpr his family, short diaries, letters, etc. wfthi a wise dis cretion, with tatet and discTimlina tion. Their own work is intelligently and happily exeeuted. It contains very much more' of genuine value and In terest than we anticipated. We have been personally intimate' J with Dr.. Deems since 1849, when he spent a week at our father's home' at Oxford, and have been more familiar wiflh his l'ffe and work than most men living now have been. We doubt it any per son in North Carolina 'knew onore of his life in all of its phases, so mani fold, than We did 'before we had read the "charming volume. We could easi ly' fill columns with reminiscences of h'im..' But the "Au tocography" arid The IMemoir" following have given us far mors than we knew and l very charmingly. The eminent Bishop-Pot ter wrote to iRevv E. IM. Deems: You have done your literary task with unusual discrimination and felic ity, and your father's life. is a strik ing Illustration Kit faithful ufte of gifts and opportunities, and Of steady men tal progress. , As a picture of an interesting ana Critical tirne in our national history, the book has a- peculiar interest. I 'con gratulate you upon it." The eloquent and richly endowed Rev. Dr. Henry VariDyke, a writer of" marked eloquence and, taste and a crit ic in literature of. almost unexcelled gifts, writes: ' . "You have succeeded in letting the man speak for himself, and all the in terest that attaches to (his laibors and adventures as an ardent and faithful Gospeller reappears here in your pages. ' Surely he, 'being dead, yet speaketh; and his words do follow h'im,. not only in the many lives which he has helped to build upon the one foundation, but also in this 'beautiful memorial which you and your 'brother have wrought in your honored father s memory." . We noted a feiw errors. Page 96, it is stated that Rev. James DunCan, D D.,. was a southern Methodist bishop. Dr. James A. Duncan was president of Randolph iMacon college, Va., and an orator of exceptional eloquence. His brother is a bishop and of distinguishr ed ability and usefulness, an orator and a scholar.. Page 114, the great tem perance orator Philip S. White appears as Philip J. I knew h'im and once rode two or three hours with him in a. private carriage. Dr. Deems says that he-"Is the mt entertaining traveling companion I ever saw," We found him specially amusing and "even edi fying. 'He was a great speaker and un rivalled in temperance oratory. He was a native or Pennsylvania, we 'De- lieVe. The late Rev. J. B. Bailey's name an Dears (page 173) as I. B. The fbiogra- phy touches briefly upon the celebrat ed and prolonged controversy Tr. Deems had with Rev, Dr. William A. Smith. We know some things favora ble to Dr. Deems not known perhaps to a living man save us, and never in print, but this Is not the place or time to write them. On page 135, It is said of Dr. 'Deems' four hours' speech in the trial at (Petersburg, Va., of Dr. Smith: 'This address was In many particulars the masterpiece of his life." We have thought since -we read it in 1855 or , 1856, that It Was th ii'igbet manifestation' of (mental power - aijd alertness he ever msde. We ive' this Upon "the authority of a well known imerehant of Petershurg, with whom we took supper some years later. The late 'learned-nd distinguished Rev. Dr; Ejlphalet N.ott, president of Union Theological (Presbyterian) school, was the guest df our inforanant, pim$&t Presbyterian. The trial that caused ex traordinary interest was igoing on. Dr. Nott heard the speech of Dr. Deems, twfro was then hut 35. Dr. .(Nbtf said upon reiurping to his temporary abode after-a profound silence: '1 was think ing over" the past and considering also the peeoh 1 have heard.

People are thrown Into prolonged spasms, and eleetp and lie rigid for a day or two. Heading not long since volume" 7th wf Spurgeon's sermons, page 154, , we found him re ferring to a revival that occurred In the north of Ireland, 1n wihi-ch people fell down In a fainting fit and lay Ifor five and six weeks motionless and sense less. He said he preferred a revival without signs 'and wonders as they are not certainly demanded !by the faithful, and they would only ibe tihe laughing stock of i the faithless. Here is"a fine sample of pulpit riches a rich nugget of clerical wisdom and propriety. As you .read see if you can 'guess who must have said whai fol lows. It is an announcement of a col lection "and the preacher said: "Now brethren, comes that ubiqui tous, inevitable collection. It must be taken up, fqr same of you fellows seem to prefer to' give in (broken doses. You seem to (be dealing In homeopathy in stead of -ailTopathy. Some of you fel lows give a penny and have your whole family sitting ty you, you old hound. Some of you "possum-eared rascals pay a quarter to go into the peanut gallery 'at the theatre and won't give a nickel to this cause. If you haven't got any tmoney give us a look of your hair. If you are (bald-headed, spit in the hat." Ts there hut one man in the United States who couM have indulged in such coarseness, . In such pulpit inde-1 cenCy? It occurred recently in Atlanta. and The Journal reports it as by Sam Jones. The Washington Post says of this stereotyped vulgarity: . "We are not surprised Dh'at Bostorj refused to. tolerate this sacrilegious scavenger. The Wonder is that a com J munity like 'Atlanta will encourage the continuation of Jones."

There are two classes who are in sisting upon consideration at the hands of the tariff builders. The seedsmen are protesting against the government engaging in the. free seeds distribution. The .manufacturers of medicines are insistent for free alcohol almong the other things placed upon the free list. There is something surely in the plea of these two classes. Take the case oj the manufacturers. They say that the tariff laws should .'be so constructed as to 'gve (manufactures into which alcohol enters a better showing; that in fact it Should be put on the free list. Alcohol is used extensively in .the-arts as well as manufactures, and should be particularly favoredly the revis ers, is the contention. When it is seen that the tax Is more than twenty times the price of the alcohol at the home distilleries, it will be seen how very high and oppressive Is the tax. Think of any (business "being taxed in this "barbarous way-onpelled to pay more than 2.000 per cent, (more than the article costs to produce it and :for whieh it sells. The statement of the matter is argument enough (without further plea. To place such an unrea sonable, hostile, burdensome tax uport an article so much used in both arts and manufactures shows a singular misapprehension of Justice and right, and looks as if it was meant to be an attempt to crush those productive in dustries. The Boston Herald, an inde pendent newspaper of the largest cir culation in NeW England, says of this unfavorable and unequal tax: "It is absurd on the face of it that alcohol used in, say, the manufacture of varnish, - or in the. preparation of medicines, should be made to cost by a tax $2.17 a gallon, when without thtj tax the price would be 10 cents a gal- Ion. The only Ttfason that can be ad vanced for this Impost is that, as 3 beverage, our own government and all of the civilized governments of thr world "believe that alcohol is a com modity which can he easily made to pay an enormous tax. But alcohol as a ibasis for Varnish does not call for- a tax any more than turpentine would when similarly employed, and the only reason urged against exemption in these respects is i that if discrimina-i tions were made it might toe difficult for the government to prevent the practice of fraud; that is, persons would obtain exemptions from the tax and would then use t1 alcohol -thus freed as a beverage .instead of in the trades and arts. It is assarted; and ex perience proves the assertion to havo a good basis to rest upon, that in other countries of the world It is found pos sibln to make, this division;, to impose a fonsidTble tax upon alcoh whicli s usel as a bevera'ge, and ift to mako a rem!sslon of tax In Jh03a casc-s where the alcohol , is . used for other than; drinking purposes " i There is no plea on th-2 part of the manufacturers and others that aay vanced for this impost is that, as a beverage. The simple contention is tna t the tax 1s very oppressive upon arts and manufactures : using alcohol, 'and should ce removed. Let the govern f ment discriminate, Let no class be un justly oppressed. We suppose the pres ent congress now in extra sws.on will revise the tax upon alcohol. The seedsmen are feeling no little the rivalry of the government. They fee) very materially that the large free dis tribution business is inimical to tneir long pursued and most useful business and hurtfu to all of the thousands o dealers throughout" the United States. So far from aiding seedsmen In their legitimate hUsiness the 'government enters into rivalry with them and dis tributes largely to the producers free of cost. This iis .unfair to all who ari engaged in private "business whether as growers or sellers of seeds. The seeds men and dealers ertgaged in this in dustry are as-much to he considered in their rights as 'anyref the protected and favored classes. There ought not to beinequallty and special f avori tism in the important, ceaseless matter of tax- ation.TOne class is entitled to as much favor from the government as any other. The theory of protection so pop-i ular with the r dominant party is ap-f pjd jji an unequal, injurious way.. It builds up one las while oppressing another class. It is la the power tcj break up the seedsmen and injure very materially them and the thousands of druggists and other dealers who han dle the seeds. , The governtment i should have no friends in laying a tax. Tt sHould be governed 'by a spirit of fairness and, Equity.' When it is considered (howthir government T Sstrihajtlon ' has ' been changed and tiKnr It "has grdwiU will Ibe seen, aside from the question of 1n- jury, to the seed producers and sellers, that ft does not "pan out" as anticipat edIt fails to do what was first n templated. A man who never would, use some particular seed, is Just as likely to get that as the kind he would plant. The original intention was to obtaiji from those who received these seeds. such reports as would he useful in the horticultural interests of the country. The government records show that there are absolutely no returns of any value whatever. Every country store that handles seeds Is interested in this matter. The seed em en have been of great practical benefit to the country at large as all ought to know. They have invested large amounts of money In -advanc ing horticulture and agriculture ani" have, been ' so enterprising that they have really "become leaders in devel oping and disseminating, new and im.-1' proved varieties of seeds and plants, and have been willing to pay far more for improved varieties than he gov ernment; hence when (Secretary Mor ton came into office and tried to car-' ry out the spirit of the law, ' and ad vertised for seeds, plants or cuttings of rare, new or valuable varieties, he got comparatively few orders, and none of which he considered worthy of acceptance. It is an extravagant, appropriation and (burdens the mails with hundreds of tons f seeds, adding a very large amount to the annual deficit of the postofflce department. The congress should look to this mat1 ter carefully and wisely. , A NOTED ATLANTA CASE. . For four years I have been afflicted with a very troublesome nasal catarrh. So terrible has its nature been that when I blew my nose small pieces of bone would frequently come out of my mouth and nose. The discharge was copious, and at times very offensive. My blood became so Impure that my general health was greatly impaired, with poor appetite and worse digestion. Numerous medicines were used with out relief, until I began the use of Bo tanic Blood Balm B. B. B. and there bottles acted almost like magic. Since its use, over a year, not a symptom has returned, and I feel in every way quite restored in health. I am an old citizen of Atlanta, and refer to almost any one living ori .

The governor gets ' ,'enraged," not drunk, and swears. The governor, we are told, is one of the most gramati cal sweares in North Carolina.and this must be true for- he never does any thing but he does it well, and to take our governor away from us remove such a central figure from our pres ence, and you take Hamlet out of the play of Hamlet, and leave us in a state bordering upon , paralysis. But if the governor is really and truly, anxious for the downfall of The Tribune he might . best serve hisrpurpose in tbt-; acceptance of the judgeship, for as things have been going on, and prom ise ' to go merrily on, we have grown fat and proud and we see millions' in it. However, we have endured much in our journalistic career, and we be lieve we could survive the governor's appointment. When the democratic party was turned out of the government in North Carolina by the socalled reformers, among the reforms promised was a re duction of expenditures; especially were we promised that salaries and fees of public officials were to be re duced to conform with the present low prise of farm products. Well, the re formers are in and we have had ex penditures reduced with a vengeance. As proof of this" statement we cite the reader to an article on the first page of this paper, copied from The Chatham Record. The legislature of two years ago, the first reform legislature, spent more money than any of its. democrat ic predecessors, and the last one has followed in its footsteps. The expen? ses of the last session were about J72, 500, very near the same as that of its predecessor. Taxes were increased, ap- propriations were increased, salaries were Increased and' new and unneces sary salaried offices created. States ville Landmark. . - It is a fact that statistics prove that thirty-five per cent, of the copulation of North Carolina cannot read am? write, and of the 650,000 children be tween the school age in the state oven 200,000 thousand never take advantage of the schools under the ' present law and many that enroll themselves at the opening of the schools attend so irreg ularly that the. benefit derived is of the smallest importance. Examine the re ports of the teachers, made to the commissioners last year and you will be astounded at the number of children that enrolled at the beginning of the term and the smallness of the actual attendance. One reported an enroll ment of sixty-five and an average at tendance of thirteen. Another reported an enrollment of twenty-two in a sparsely settled neighborhood where the commissioners had appointed a special term for their benefit owing to J A I 1 A .3 -j 1 1 . ' us lBumieu situation ine average at tendance was three and so on we might add examples indefinitely. The same condition of neglect in attending the schools that prevails in this county no doubt prevails in all the counties of the state. Washington Messenger. A review of the recent session of the general assembly would properly fill a book. A ; distinguished citzen of the state, who takes no part in politics, ws sked a few days ago to state in a few words the difference between th the spirit of the legislators who were in the general assembly of 1868-9 and of 1897.- 'iThe legislature of 1868-9 stole more money, and was. controlled by more daring adventurers,"; he replied, but they dm it. under the guise of in tense interest in the industrial devel opment of the state, . thus disguising their huge thieving operations. Thi legislature could not have stolen so much If the members had been as dar-j ing as the leaders of 1868-9, because of constitutional limitations, but there Was manifested this year tenfold more venality, meanness, ' prejudice and hunting for spoils than was apparent in the memorable disgraceful legisla ture of 1868-9. I guess the gang then was hungry for office, but there was more decency in their scramble.' This may be accounted for by reason of the larger bribes that were given fegisla tors then. Big money for votes may have tempered the zeal for office, and the scandal of wholesale "bribery mav have overshadowed the scramble for place., Be that as it may, the spirit of hateful spite, spleen and meanness that characterized the majority this year was not observable then."
