Our Young Slen In Rebellion.
Senator Pritchard made a speech
before the Middlesex club of Bos
ton last week at a dinner given in
celebration of the birthday of (Jen
pral Grant. In it he uttered a
slander against the young men of
the South which they resent. He
says :
; ."The young manhood of the
south is in rebellion against the
political oligarchy that his mis
ruled, misled and impoverished
that section of this great republic,
and is ready to swear allegiance to
the American independence. Am
erican glory and American lion
or. This will be news to the young
manhood of this section in more
than one particular. In the first
place they are not "in rebellion."
In the second place the South has
not 5jnown a "political oligarchy. "
In the third place no political par
ty "has misruled, misled and im
poverished' this section of our
great, republic eo far as its state
and. county government is con
cerned. Every one who knows
enough abcut the facts to entitle
him to speak knows that the state
governments in the South are as
economical and well administered
as any in the union.
But while we have been "mia
led'' we have been "misruled" and
"impoverished" by national legis
lation, enacted by the party which
Senator Pritchard now represents
in North Carolina, and he is at
this very time seeking to perpetu
ate this "misruV and further our
"impoverishment" by putting the
high priest of protection and tli3
enemy of silver in the presidential
chair. What do our young men
say to this ? We know them, and
we know that "ihe young man
hood" of North Carolina is in re
bellion against the political trad
ing ihich put this man in Zeb
Vance's seat iu the United States
Senate. They are up in arms, and
when the battle is joined thev will
be found in the thickest of the
fray, nor vill they lay their armor
by till Western North Carolina is
rid of this advocate of tarifl' tax
robbery and friend of the money
bags. Charlotte News.

Each human beingt from the
moment consciousness awakes un
til the day of his death, feels iu
tinctively that he has a right to
happiness. When he is young he
confidently expects to get it. Fur
ther along in life he begins to have
a baffled feeling that he has some
how missed it. Later his feeling
sinhs into a settled dispair of-ever
getting it, or else into a furious
protest against fate, that he of all
human beings was appointed to
loose his inheritance. But when
we are young ; we are ignorant of
the fact, and when we get older we
perhaps forget it, that happiness
is a spiritual quality, and to be ob
tained only according to spiritual
laws. We cannot purchase hap
piness with money, as we may buy
a yard of cloth or an estate. We
cannot take it by force f 10 m .an
other, as we may steal .his coat.
Nor can we gain it by wheeling or
cheating another man out of his
rightful share, expecting to make
it our own. For happiness is but
the delicate perfume arising from
the sum total of all human de
lights. Each man's share of it is
the same, and can never be greater
than any other man's share. As
it cannot be bought, so it cannot
be paid for. But those who refuse
to add to the general stock of hap
piness, "while expecting still to
! claim their share, will find them
selves outwitted by nature. Their
inner senseSibecome dull, and then
closed entirely. ' They become in
capable of perceiving happiness.

The Illinois democracy is in a
state of voilent agitation over the
money question. Extremists have
been working actively' to get the
party committed to silver mono
metallism. Others have been try
ing to ''head off" tho tampode, and
have called on President Cleve
land for help, and he responded
by writing a letter. Although
failing to define sound money and
safe currency, this letter is clear
and forceful against the illusions
and evils of a debased currency.
It reads in part as follows:
"What is now naeded more than
anything else isa plain and simple
presentation of the argument in
tavor of sound money. In other
wcrds, it is time for the American
people to reagon together as mem
bers of a great nation which can
promise -them a continuance of
protection and saefty only as long
as its solvency is unsuspected, its
honor unsullied, and the soundness
of its money unquestioned. These
things are all exchanged for the
illusions of a debased currency
and the groundless hope of advant
ages to be gained by a disregard of
our financial credit and commer
cial standing among the nations of
I the world.
"In these restless days the farm
er is tempted by the assurance that
though our currency may be de
based, ledundant and uncertain
such a situation will improve the
price of hig products. Let us re
mind him that he must buy as
well as sell ; that his dreams of
plenty are shaded by the certainty
that if the price of things he has
to sell is nominally enhanced, the
cost of the things he must buy will
not remain stationary ; that the
nest prices which cheap money
proclaims are unsubstantial and
elusive; aud that even if they were
real and palpable, he must neces
sarily be left fi r behind in the
race for their enjoyment.

Speaker Crisp, has announced
his views to the country, on the
silver question. He is in favor ot
free coinage and says: "The plat
form," "should declare for the free
coinage of silver direct, and with
a set of principles responding to
the demands ol the people; we
should select some good man from
the West, some man with a mili
tary, record, indentified with the
dominate sentiment that now
controls the party, and go forth
with confidence to the victory
which the people always give those
who are brave enough to fight for
it. The onlv fear 1 have is, not
that the. people are not in favor of
free silver, but that the free silver,
people who are the majority, may
divide into factions, running two
or three candidates,in which event
the eloction would be thrown into
the House, which would elect a
I Republican. J Mr. Crisp, is one of
the ablest members of the demo
cratic party and his views on sil
ver will be received with confi
dence by the great masses of the
people. He says further that the
silver question must be settled di
rectly, not by fcubterfuge or eva
sion, but openly, so that the people
mav understand it. It will not
down. The fact that progress in
silyer rehabilitation has been slow
should not be discouraging. This
is a big country, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, with probably 70
000,000 ot the most civilized peo
ple in the world. The basis ot all
law with us is the will of the peo
ple. When, after years of discus
sion, and often contrary action,
thev make up their minds for tar-

jThe silver question is going
tnrough the same course of public
discussion. It is meeting with de
feats and victories just in th6 same
ratio as characterized the tariff
figM. Just as in that fight the
silver men will have their battle
royal, when the American people
will award a victory." The Mascot.

It is not strange as it may ap
pear to some to read of so much
crime in our land. Poor fallen
human nituro is not a good na
ture. Js any man safe from sin
and crime who is "out of Christ"?
May he not be tempted at some
point that will tend to his undo
ing? Look at the newspapers,vis
it the prisoi.s and penitentiaries
and retormatories and places of
lust and debauchery and get the
answer. There is a fearful mania
for murder and rape. Is it sur
prising ? Look at the court rec
ords. Over 8,000 murders in 1S
94, and but little more than 100
executed court?. What a dead
failure 1 The Baltimore Herald,
noting the mania for homicide tells
this:
"The police authorities and
courts in three States are investi-
gating horrible murders, where
young girls have fallen victims
first to felonious assault and then
to homicide. In Massachusetts,
Maryland and Calisornia three
outrages upon innocence have been
perpetrated almost simultaneous
ly, while, as if to accentuate the
tale of cime, a butchery is report
ed from New York slums and Dr
Buchanan has reached the end of
the appliances known to criminal
lawyers to delay punishment and
defeat justice."
Men commit the most awful
crimes without any after manifes
tation of compunction. Some go
through the farce ot a professit n
of religion, but the truth is that
the worst offenders are monsters
in human form, and are calm,seif
contained, callous and will die
"gamecocks" and go out of life in
to eternal punishment with not
much more of conscious fear ap
parently than "dumb-driven ani
mals." Wilmington Messenger.

TUe Monroe Dcelrlne.
And now we are gravely told by
Senator Hill and others that the
Monroe doctrine was never adopt
ed by the United States and has no
binding force. The next thing we
may expect to hear, is that the
Declaration of Independence was
a myth and that the Ten Com
mandments are no longer binding
on the conscience ot the American
publi: because Congress has not
officially ratified them.
- For many years the greed of Eu
rope for possessions in Central and
South America "has been held in
check by the belief that the United
States would enforce the Monroe
doctrine. But for that belief,Eng
land, France and Spain would all
have made conquests, and obtained
large holdings to the South cf us.
Because of Mr. Cleveland's well
known aversion to war, and his
omnt for imffoism. England
assumes that it can "make war in
Nicaragua, capture Corinto, take
possession of its custom house,ar.d
permanently occupy that point
and transform it into a British
nayai station A few day3 ago a
Washington correspondent stated
that Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Gresh
am would pursue a policy of back
bone, and would insist upon three
things.
"First Whatever may he the
outcome of the pending controver
sy, England will not be permitted
to seize any Nicaraguan 'territory.
"Second In no event ehall
there be a cession of territory to
England by Nicaragua.
''Third Und-T no circumstan
ces will England bo permitted to
land a naval or military force' for
the purpose of occupation either
temporarily or permanently."
There seems to be some doubt
whether tin vigorous and wise pol
icy thus outlined will be carried
into effect. There is ne other pol
icy consistent with the dignity and
self respect of the country, and we
look to see the President, without
jingoism or bravado, let (Jreat
Britain know that the Monroe doc
trine is in full force and eliect,and
that this countrv will never per

on the Brazilian coafct. Hoping to

Captain ordered one of the casks
containing the gold brought on

wrecked by tie continuous pound
ing on the rocks that it was soon
found necessary to tatco to the
boats without any ot the treasure.
As the last boat was about to leave
the ill fated craft, one of tho offi
