Tariff reform was a hobby and a plank in the old part, and finally- the -Re . pblicans came along and incorpo- tfed this plank in their platlorm k, and not only incorporated it, rat have been living up to it. I felt then, as I do now, that the prin ciples of the Democracy which the lameated Vance said was 'immoral, were slipping from under the old time Democrats, and that but one of two things were left for me and those old-time fePows to do either to follow the principles as they had been engraved into the Republican party, or continue to . go after stranee Dolitical leaders, such as Bryan, Hearst, or Cleverland. Cle veland was ostracised bv his own party because he stood for the prin ciples upon which we elected him, and we could no longer follow him. As to the others, thev stood for nothing but demageoguery, politi cat clao-troo. wild catism. and. in short, anything that would catch votes, reerardless of the interest or welfare of the country. Every man who has read, and remembers any thing that he has read, will recall the strange and wild-cat argument made by the free siiverites that i if the issue did not carry ; that the country would go forever to fhe pow wows.

"The Virginian who expressed the wish in his will that his wife should marry again if it would con tribute to her happiness, and that she and her second husband should enjoy his estate during her lifetime was evidently a broad minded citi zen," says the States ville Land mark. Very different was he from that gentleman of the lower Cape Fear section of several generations back of whom this sfcory used tObe told. He was sick unto death and when told by hia physician that he had but a few hours to live had his wife summoned to his bedside for a farewell interview and instruct ions as to what he wished her to do after bis death. : Among other requests he made the one that she would promise not to marry again. . The wife, though in genuine and great distress refus ed to give the promise, saying that though she had no idea she would ever want to marry a second , time, she did not know what circumstan ces might arise in the future, and that were she to make the promise she would feel in conscience bound to keep it, no matter what unfor- seen conditions might arise. After being repeatedly asked to make the promise, and as often re fusing to do so, the supposedly dy ing husband became irate, and ex claimed: "Well, madam, if you won't promise not to mairy again I be "-using a word most improp er at all timks and especially so at a death bed conference-' 'if I die!" and he proceeded immediately to improve and soon entirely recover ed. he and his, wife living Happily togather for? many: years he had no idea she would ever want I the in tluence of mind over matter .: that will bower conquered death where their medicines could not do so Charlotte News.. v .

Man comes into this world with out bis conesnt and lives against his will. During his stay on earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contraries and misunder standings by the balance of our species.. In his infancy. he is an angel; io his boyhood he is a. devil; in his manhood. he is everything from a lizard up; in his duties he is a fool if he raises a family he is a chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief, and then law raises the devil with him; if he is a poor man. he is a poor manager and has no sense; it he is rich be is dishonest, but considered smart; if he is in politics he is a greater and a crook; if he is out of politics you can't please him as he is an undesirable citizen: ilr he goes to church he is a hypocrite if he stays away from church he is a sinner and damned; if he donates to foreign missions he does it for show; if he doesn't he is stingy. When he first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him before he goes out they all want to kick him. If he dies young there was a great future before him; If he lives to a ripe old age he is sim ply living to save funeral expenses. Life, is a funny road, but oce and all like to travel it.

The Herald says: - We acknowledge our defeat here at the County Convention Wednesday. "We have advocated temperance rotation in office, sober t, men for office, honest conventions, honest elections and economical govern ment. We are forced to admit that Wednesday's convention sat down flat on us. It was not a day for onr principles to stand. It was an ofl? day for them. It was not our day at all. We stood our ground as best we could but failed. We got whip ped and badly whipped. We admit our defeat. In conclusion we must say that we think in our defeat tbe cause of right and justice was de feated also. We shall continue to stand for what we consider is right, whether our principles are ' accept ed or rejected and without regard to consequences to us. We would rather go down in defeat ad vocatlng the right than to stand and be iu the wrong." From Sickness to 'Excellent Health.' So says Mrs. Chas. Lyon, Peoria, 111.: "I found in your.
