Snatching Victory Prom Impend ing Defeat One of the Most Im portant Battles of the War for American Independence The Heroism of Molly Pitcher. Reference to the Battle ot Mon mouth and a visit to the historic ground, being made recently in con nection with our account of the National Editorial Convention at Asbury Park, N. J., the following will doubtless prove interesting reading at this time : The Battle of Monmouth was fought on Sunday, June 28, 1778, at and near Freehold, then known as Mon mouth Court House. The first gun was fired and the first blood shed very near to the spot where the Battle Monument stands. The Continental troops emerged from the woods westerly and adjacent to the field now known as Monument Park, and to the east of the Park the Queen's Rangers received the first volley, fled through the. village and joined the main army of the British, then slowly returned over the plain beyond. The American advances, under Lee, quickly crossed the ravine, a very short distance east of Monument Park, descended into the plain and engaged the British rear. In and around the village of Mon mouth Court House the hostile forces maneuvered for jKisition, and lought, both witli artillery and musketry, for more than three hours, when the Americans, having been ordered to retreat towards the main army, retired over the ground which is the present site of the Battle Monument. Checked in their retreat, rallied and re-formed by Washington in person, they turned upon the pursuing foe and before night drove him discomfited from the field of conflict, and despite the perfidious conduct of General Charles Lee, impending defeat was changed into victory. This battle was one of the most im portant of the war, and following the discouraging experiences at Valley Forge, its result gave great encourage ment to the Americans. The ability of the Continental troops to stand before British grenadiers, re form their broken lines while in retreat in the presence of the enemy, to renew j the fight, dispute every inch of ground, ' and finally put to flight the power of j Sir Henry Clinton's army was here demonstrated. It was the last and almost the only field engagement of that war between the main armies of the contending powers. More officers of distiction partici pated in it than in any other battle of the Revolution. On the side of the British were Sir Henry Clinton, Lord ng several different colleges, with two Cornwallis, Sir William Erskine, or three hundred students each, rather Leslie and Kuyphausen, while with the j than one big one with one thousand.

Speeches Made by Dr. Durham and Prof. Bickett at the Baptist Associ ation Opposing: State Aid to the University, &c. f Winston Sentinel. J The Pilot Mountain Association, which was in session four days at Mt. Olive church, Stokes county, closed Sunday. The sessions were largely attened by delegates from all the 36 churches in the bounds of the Association, and all seemed to act with one accord on ; all questions introduced for discussion or disposition. THE STATE UNIVERSITY. The proceedings of most general in terest to the public was the position taken by the Association relative to the University of North Carolina. The standing committee on Educa tion, in their annual report, endorsed the recent articles of Dr. Taylor, Wake Forest's President, on " How far Ought a State to Udertake to Edu cate," and condemned the practice of the State Legislature of appropriating $148,000 to higher education, and asked that that amount be reverted to its proper channel, the public district school fund Pending the adoption of this report, which was enthusiastically unanimous, forcible speeches were made by T. W. Bickett, of Danbury, and Dr. C. Dur ham, of Paleigh. Mr. Bickett warned the people against the centralizing tendency ot the government (State and National) and the growing discrepancy in favor of classes rather than the masses. He said that the public treasury is being treated as a " nubbin crib. He ad vocated the demands made by the resolution and declared the present con duct of the University and its State aid as ruinous to the denominational coliegt.8. He also presented forcible argu ments showing the advantages of hav- ' school months to every township of every county in the State. He also said that if every student m attendance upon the University was made to pay his own tuition, as they do 4t other colleges, the surplus, after paying the entire faculty their present high sala- nes, ana otner expenses, wouia oe more than f 6,000. Dr. Durham also attacked the Greensboro Normal School and its State aid, applying the same argu ments. He condemned the practice nf the St.ite nf educating ministers and .their sons and profeSsed teachers free. fhe former interfered directly with a primal object of -the denominational olleges ana tne latter openea up a irVii'!jv In fraud in tli.it - - 'r " J , - a voune '"'lan or woman could and many did tht out and teach a few weeks' school Auqd then beat the people for a colle ingaate course.

Platform Adopted by tlie State Democrtic Convention in Kal eiffh Last Week Resolution in Regard to the Death of Sena tor Vance Against the Sena torial Primary Election. THE PLATFORM. The Democracy ot North Carolina submit to the voters of the State the following declaration of principles, viz : Resolved 1, That we re-affirm the doctrines of the party as enunciated by the Chicago Convention of 1892 ; and desire to signify as follows what is the constiuction placed by us upon the section thereof relating to silver, viz : We hold that it is the duty ot the law-making department of the govern ment, now in the hands of the Demo cracy, to take immediate steps to re store by legislation the equal privil eges of silver with gold at the mints, by the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, such being the ratio of coinage which heretofore has held in the United States. Resolved 2, That we urge upon the said law-making department of the government the abolition of the uncon stitutional and prohibitive tax of 10 per cent, upon the issues of State banks. Resolved 3, That, in view of the depleted condition in which the late Republican administration left the Treasury of the United States present ing as it did, such a lamentable con trast to the overflowing condition in which it was delivered by Mr. Cleve land's first administration to its Re publican succesor we urge upon the said law-making department, the im mediate enactment of an income tax. Resolved 4, That we emphatically approve the tariff doctrine enunciated by the Chicago platform. Resolved 5, That while we are op posed to the slightest qualification, in favor of the Federal Government, of the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on State bank issues, we nevertheless ad vocate as a matter of State policy such .regulation and restriction of the issues of banks chattered by North Carolina as will secure a sound currencey. Resolved 6, That we admire the courage and lofty patriotism of the President, and that we most heartily commend his prompt and effective action under the law for the suppres sion of the efforts of alien anarchists to disturb, by force and violence, the true relations of labor and capital ; his sturdy efforts to secure the enact ment of tariff reform as called for in the party platform ; his prompt appro val of the bill repealing the Federal election law ; the notable reduction of the expenses of government under hjg administration, and the freedom from scandal which has been such a marked feature of his return to the head of affairs. We point with pride to the record of the - Democratic party in North Carolina and endorse the present State administration. For eighteen years this party has had full control of the State government. It has adminis tered it with the greatest economy and at all times with an eye single to the best interests of all the people. Coming into power at the end of a reign of debauchery and crime, it addressed itself to the work of rehabilitation, and its record is one which challenges public admiration. It has rebuilt our public school system ; established asy lums for the care of our unfortunates ; administered justice; promoted our public works; fostered every public enterprise ; reduced taxation, and in all respects justified the confidence of those who have' trusted it. It has af forded security to life and property, protected both capital and labor in its rights, and done all that government can do for a people. No scandal has attached to its administration of public affairs. We congratulate our citizens upon their well reposed trust in it ; we congratulate them upon the friendly relations existing between the races ; upon the prospects of bounteous crops and returning prosperity. With the record before them we appeal to them for a vote of confidence this year in the Democratic party. Resolved, That we favor the aboli tion of the internal taxes on spirits and tobacco as soon as practicable ; and if this can not be done that the harsh and unjust features. of the law for col lection be modified. The following resolution was adopted in regard to Senator Vance : Whereas, Since the Democratic party of North Carolina last assembled in convention, death has claimed Hon. Zebulon B. Vance, the State's most illustrious citizen, it is by this Con vention Resolved, That appreciating his conspicuous abilities and his long and most honorable public services, pro found sorrow is expressed on account of the calamity which has fallen upon the State in the event referred to. We admire the noble life, public and pri vate, of this eminent citizen, and refer to it as the noblest example of North Carolina manhood. Mr. Murphy, Buncombe, introduced the following resolution : 'Resolved, That this convention recommend that the several counties in the State hold a primary election on the first Tuesday in November next under such rules and regulations as the State Democratic Committee may prescribe, at which primary election the Democratic voters of the various counties may express their preference for two representatives in the United States Senate, provided that such elec tion shall not be held unless the Exec utive Committee of each county so direct. Mr. G. S. Bradshaw moved to lay the resolution on the table. The vote on this motion was taken by counties and resulted ayes 664, noes 218 so the resolution was laid on the table. RANSOM AND JARTIS. "The State Has Paid Both in Full and Owes them Nothiug:." A correspondent writing to the Charlotte Observer, says that in view of the fight being made between Ran som and Jarvis, the proper thing to do is to rule both out and call for a new deal altogether. This is the proposition that now comes from the Ransom crowd. Realizing that he must go down they want Jarvis to go down with him. As between the two the Golp Leaf favors Jarvis, although it is not inseparably wedded to him. But for the spirit in which the sug gestion comes, from the quarter it does, we would be more heartily in favor of standing both aside. But to the article in question. We quote the following : But the Democratic party has paid Ransom off in full. It has sent him to the United States Senate for 24 years, and he is now 68 years old, while Jarvis is apparently 78 years old. And while I do not believe we should be forever changing our Represent atives, for the reason that the longer we keep a good man in such place of importance the more influence he has for the the good of State, yet under the circumstances I really think it would be best for the Democratic party to retire both Jarvis and Ransom and send new and younger men men in the vigor of manhood. And we have young men of ability who are competent to be United States "Sena tors. Jarvis and Ransom are not the only men in the great State of North Carolina who are capable of occupying such positions. I can name twelve from the East and West who would be an honor to the State and who would take a high stand in the United States Senate. From the East I will name : Walthr Clark, F. H. Busbee, Spier Whitaker, R. O. Burton, Jr., W. W. Fuller and Thos Mason and others. From the West : A. C. Avery, Frank Osborne, W. J. Montgomery, Major Stedman, R. B. Glenn and Jas. H.-Merrimon and others. So, Mr. Editor, we have young men of ability who woukl, I suppose, be willing to serve their country for their country's good, if requested to do so, and since we have them why need we let these old men in their fight for office disrupt the Democratic party? Let the Democratic party say to them: " Retire to the shade of private life. We have honored you for the services and good you have done and will pherish, your memory. We can not and will not allow you in your fight for office to cause dissensions in the party. We have young men of ability and will bring them to the front." This I think should be done and done at once. Pardon me for taking so much space in your valuable paper, but this is a matter of great importance -and the party should decide at once. I have within the last two weeks talked with representative men in several counties and they all, without an exception, told me that if a man declared himself for either Jarvis or Ransom he could not be elected ; that the friends of one were fighting the other, and fighting to the extent that they would rather a Republican qr Populist should be sent to the Legis lature from their counties than for a Jarvis or Ransom Democrat. I hope the party will speak out at once and in no uncertain voice and put a itop to this fight between these two old men. The Democratic party is greater than any one man, be he Jarvis or Ransom or both combined. As You Sow, So Shall You Reap. Greensboro Record. I Last eyening about dusk two police men wended their way to the lock-up having in charge a man who five years ago was earning $5,000 per year as a commercial traveler. In those days he dressed handsomely, was a prince of politeness and a superb salesman. Now he is out of a job, penniless and almost an outcast, with old age creep ing over him. For two or three days he has been on a drunken debauch, and yesterday evening was unable to get away from a telephone pole, too drunk for anything. Liquor never failed to get the best of a man if he only sticks to it. The demand for incomes is far greater than the demand for the tax on them. New York Recorder. Investigation Invited. Of course it is proper to inquire about what any man says. Is it true? The most rigid investigation is invited into the testimonials published in behalf of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Special attention j is called to the high character cf the ; persons whose testimonials sre published j by the proprietors of this medicine, as i evidenced by their occupations or indorse- j ments. in fact, no matter where a testimonial in behalf of Hood's Sarsapa rilla may be from, it is reliable and as worthy of confidence as if it came from your most trusted neighbor. THY WILLBE DONE THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN FAITH. Human Friendship Not Sufficient in the Hour of Supreme Trial The Humble Believer and Ag nostic Compared Hope Makes Sorrow Easier to Bear. New York Herald. Oh my Father, Thy will be done. Mat- tnew xxvi., 2. The man of faith lives with more satisfaction to himself and with greater benefit to his kind than the man of doubt. We do not refer to the man whose brain contains a mere muddle of be liefs, who has prejudices and supersti tions instead of convictions, but to him who feels sure that there is an eternal right and an eternal wrong, that the right is worthy of his support at all hazards, and the wrong will bring him to physical and spiritual bank ruptcy in the long run. We do not need a long creed, but we do need a few varieties as a basis for action. The Thirty-nine Articles may seem very prolix, and Institutes of Calvin may not commend them selves to our best judgment, but our rejection of them does not constitute us heretics in the sight of God, al though God may ex-communicate us. If we believe that the universe is ruled by love as well as by power, that the outcome of virtue is happiness and the result of evil is misery; if we see a Providence in the events of life and feel that we can communicate with that Providence by means of what is called prayer, if we have faith in another life where the freed soul will have larger opportunities than its environment has permitted here; if we absorb the spirit of brotherly love and helpfulness which was incarnated in the Christ, we need have no fears as to our fate in the future. Man's creed is apt to be a long one ; God's creed is very short. Short as it is, however, you will have no time to spare if you shape your years ac cording to its requirements. Your life, everybody's life, has its pathetic side, and you must have the sympathy ot God if you are to do good work. There are times when you are ap palled by the situation in which you find yourself. There is no light any where, but darkness everywhere. A score of friends stand by you and give you what comfort, can be contained in the words, but they have lives of their own to live, they can not help you as you must be helped if you are to recover from the disaster. Human friendship is precious, but much more is wanted. Human love mingles its sighs and tears with yours, but still there is an empty place in yourrieart which neither friendship nor love can fill. We have all had that experience, a heaviness which no arm can lighten, a dread which no words can dissipate, a weariness which no one within reach can brighten with hope. Is there no comfort anywhere, no consolation, no unseen influence that will steal into the soul with transfigur ing power j! The agnostic shakes head in an emergency like that, and does not speak, because he has nothing to say. He can furnish you with additional despair, but with no thought which will afford you resignation. " What kind of a world is this," you ask yourself, "in which what one craves most tht is, beyond one's length Is there no remedy any where for your disease of mind ? Are you left alone to struggle as you can to find your way out of the grief by the slow process of forgetfulness? We think not. Else it was a mis fortune to be born, and the chief bless ing is to get rid of it all in childhood, before you can learn, that life is noth iug better than a tragedy. Your father has fallen asleep, per chance, and when you call him he will not answer. The eyes will never open again, the lips are like lips of marble. There is a frightful stillness in the house broken only by the muf fled beating of your own heart and your unrepressed moans. Is that the end? Has the story been all told? Is the volume of filial affection closed and clasped with an iron clasp? Have you said farewell forever, and has the dear one taken a sudden departure into the region of black nothingness? Then what is lile worth? What is the use of loving if the most sacred ties are snapped when Death taps at the door? He is better off than. you who never loved at all, for he will suffer less, and the less love we bestow on any one the larger are our chances of happiness. Let us henceforth care for self alone and pay no heed to others. Qr, it rr.ay be that a child, the light of your home, your joy and pride, lies in your arms wiih raging, consuming, resentless fever. Its little eyes look into yours imploringly ; its little arms are tightly clasped about your neck. Hope dies out of your heart, and the inevitable, like the shadow of a setting sun, throws its gloom over the scene. The babe is slipping away from jou, and carrying with it the best part of your life, lor in all the earth there is nothing so beautiful, so sublime or sq impressive as a mother's love. What say you ? What has any one to say ? The man of doubt is at your side, a tender hearted man, full of human sympathy, and willing to do what he can to assuage your grief, but what can he honestly say to give you comfort? Has he any balm for your wounds, any solace for your distress ? Then he were better absent than present. But Christ comes, or some kind spirit bearing His messeage, and tells you of the House not built with hands, of the grave as the bronze gate through which we enter heaven, of a time of meeting beyond this time of parting, of that Being who does what is best even when He cases the tears to flow, only asking you to wait patiently in that faith that some day you will ses that He was right. What a change comes over your soul! God's magic has bidden a smile under your tears, a hope under your despair. In reposeful faith you say, "Thy will be done," and stand ing at the grave of father or of child, you lift your eyes to the blue sky and cry, " For a time, good by ; we shall meet again yonder." The sad side of life has a rainbow, and hope makes sorrow easier to bear. A FAMOUS TRIAL RECALLED. Death of Judge Holt, Jndjje Advocate on the Court Marshal that Con demned Mrs. SurratL f Raleigh News-Observer-Chronicle. 1 Judge Holt, who was the Judge Ad vocate on the court martial that tried Mrs. Surratt has just died from the effects of a fall. We believe that no person who was prominently con nected with that judicial murder, has died a natural death. Judge Holt's connection with the affair was partic ularly scandalous. It is said that there was a recommendation of mercy signed by the members of the court, which he suppressed and did not present to the President. The Balti more Sun says : The late John T. Ford, of Baltimore, who was manager of the theatre iu Washington in which President Lincoln was assassinated by J. Wilkes Booth, was a firm believer in the innoceuce of Mrs. Surratt of any complicity with the plot, and on a number of occasions defended vigorously her memory in the press, Mr. Ford was in Hichraond, ra., at the time of the assassination, but on hearing of it returned home and was arrested in Baltimore April 17, 18C5, and kept imprisoned for forty days in the old Capitol, Washington. For a few days he was in prison with Mrs. Surratt prior to her removal to the penitentiary (the arsenal building) iu Washington. While in the old Capitol Mr. Ford came iu contact with the witnesses against Mrs. Surratt, Weichman and Lloyd and was, by what he heard from them, convinced of Mrs. Surratt's innocence of any knowledge or complicity with the assassination of President Lincoln. Mrs. Surratt and Weichman and Lloyd were all strangers to Mr. Ford at the time. Both Weichmau and Lloyd were conspicuous iu their expression of terror. The latter said he had been threatened with torture and intimated that he had to say what he did against Mrs. Surratt to secure relief. Mr. Ford declared that the memory of his contact with these two men, without whose testimony there was uo shadow of a crime against Mrs. Surratt, made her execution a fearful horror, Mr. Ford made sti;euuou8 efforts to have her sentence commuted and appealed to President Johnson by letter. Mr. Ford always contended and cited evidence in his published articles to show that Judge Holt, as judge advocate-general, had not presented to President Johnson a recommendation of mercy in Mrs. Surratt's case which had been signed by five members of the military commission before which she was tried. Mr. foyd attended the tria.1 Oi Mrs. Surratt and afterward staled that it was the uuanimous opinion of those with whom he dis cussed the subject that her ankles were manacled. Other prisoners were hand cuffed and allowed to remain so in the presence of Judge Holt. A Dangerous Sport. .Raleigh Evening Visitor.) The hanging of Orange Page in this city 8U2ge8ted to a number of small boys to " play hanging" yesterday. Iu the afternoon a crowd of them were playing at this gruesome sport in the city lot. They had a gallows and a drop arranged as near like the original as possible. Each of the small boya took turns at being hanged, but the rope was so arranged that when the drop fell the youthful culprit struck the ground. Archie Doolittle, however, was taller than the other boys, 80 when his turn came the rope was made shorter. When the drop fell Archie, to the horror of his companions, did not touch the ground and remained struggling in the air. His companions, becoming frightened, ran away and Archie was slowly strangling to death when the rope was fortunately broken by his struggling and he fell to the ground. Higher Education. (Winston Sentinel. The annual appropriation of North Carolina for higher education is less than that of any other Southern State. The amount is reported to be $44, 000. South Carolina gives to this purpose $107,500 and Virginia $129, 500. And yet there appears to be more complaint against the appropri ation in North Carolina than in any other State. Apparently, this oppo sition is fostered by some of our private and denominational schools. We would not hinder the progress of these schools. Wa wish them all unbounded success.
