They have had a majority in the House of Repre sentatives in several Congresses., and from 1885 to 1889 they had the Pres ident also. But during these four yeaT8 the Senate wag Republican, and. with the extenlion of these four years, in those Congresses in which the House was Democratic, the oc cupant of the White House and the Senate also were Republican. The Democrats have all the time feeenji most anxious to secure legisla tion needed by the country, and es pecially legislation needed for the relief of the farmer and laboring man. ut they were powerless to rnoyeapeg.- Not so with the Republicans. Since the war they have repeatedly had complete control of the law making power in a.l its branches. With the exception pf the two or three times the House has been Dem ocratic, they have had everything the House, the Senate and the President. They hare absolutely no excuse for not giving the country any legislation they chose to give it, except not wanting to do It. me congress now in session is Republican in both House and Sen ate by a good-sized majority. The rr! jni- . . irtisan President sits at his desk with his pen in his hand r,eady to sign any bill that may be presented to him, just so he is satisfied it is a Republican measure. This Congress has been sitting since the first Monday in December last. Completely controlled by the Republicans, what hag it done in the way of passing laws for the ben fit of the country? $ot Qne thing. The time has been consumed in formulating and adopting a set ol rules which cut off debate and gives the Speaker absolute power ; in un seating Democrats honestly elected and handing over their seats to Re publicans ; in attempting, to pass a bill that would place North Caro lina ballot boxes in the hands of federal soldiers; in wasting the peo ple's money voting scores and scores of millions in pensions, to soldiers yho, in numerous cases, never smelt powder; in short, this Congress has stretched every nerve to entrench the Republican party in power and to perpetuate its iron rule, and hasn't cared a continental red whether the country went to the dogs or not Why didn't they pass the Blair Bill? They promised to do it dur ing the campaign of 1888. Our poor people need education, and North Carolina's share of the money, if the Blair Bill had passed, would have amounted to $1,700,000. The Dem ocratic legislature of North Carolina has five times instructed our Repre sentatives in Congress to. vote and work for this bill, and yet when the bill is introduced in Congress a Re publican Seriate kills it. Why don't this Republican Con gress repeal the Internal Revenue tax on tobacco and distilled liquors, ftnd give our poor farmers a free market for their crops? Tbey prom ied this in the last campaign jf they have done anything in this di rection we have not heard of it. And what about tariff reform? The oppressed farmers need and ought to have a dec$easej.n the tax on the things they are obliged to have and can get Only by purchas ing. "The Democrats want to help thetn but can't. The Republicans can donso,; but will they ? Let us wait and see. The Democratic State Convention was very haxmoaious, Memmop. and dark were nominated by accla mation, ibe nominations of the superior u)urt judges were rained without any dissent. The Alliance Remands were incorporated;, ip the lauorm who Hie exception oi me qiih.Trrinenrw Kill wliiin wna rrf sub-Treasurv bilL which was not deemed Constitutional. Merit wins, as the marvelous sue- j&ba. or Hood s havsarmrilla shnvi. it nnaaraicoo trno morlimnal men oKi-uy an druggists. The convention whiclf met fl Ral eigh, Jaet week was a, bod yv represent ing tpe trup interests pf North Caro lina, and of the people of all callings and colors. The least irnpprtant of all objects bgfqre that convention was the naming of certain men for the various positions on the Bench, both of the Supreme and Superior Courts. This the convention attend ed to ip a suitable manner and by the selection of men eminently fitted for the high places to be filled. This wag a duty easy to discharge with so many distinguished names from which to choose, But it was of infinitely greater importance that the convention should have enun ciated the principles upon which the Democratic party propose to stand and abide until needed relief shall have come to the suffering peo pie. .This that convention did in unmistakable terms. Its platform starts out with a re-affirmation of the time-honored tenets of Democ racy It favors particularly the free coin age of silver; an increase of the cur rency, and the repeal of the Internal Revenue law. It denounces the McKipley tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of the country, and di rects attention to the evils which that bill will inevitably foster. It properly characterizes the Force Bill, now happily laid over by Con gress, as intended by the authors for the inauguration of a second period of reconstruction in the Southern States, and to subvert liberty and inflame anew race antagonism in the South. Speaker Reed comes in ap propriately for his share of denun ciation for having changed, with the aid of his abettors, the lower House of Congress into a machine for reg istering the will of a few partisan leaders. It demands financial reform, and relief for the farmers and laborers of the country. It commends the course of our representatives in Congress on the great questions which have come before them, and commends especial ly our greatest representative, Sena tor Vance, and recommends his re election. The cause of education is emphasized by a resolution request ing the next Legislature to increase the fund for the maintenance of pub lic schools. It further demands that national banks be abolished; that Congress shall pass laws to prevent the dealing in futures of all agricul tural and mechanical productions; that Congress shall provide or the free and unlimited coinage of silver ; prohibit the alien ownership of land; that taxation be regulated so as to give "equal rigbts to all and special privileges to none," and that Con gress shall issue a "sufficient amount of fractional paper currency to facil itate exchange through the medium of the United States mails." We profess to have submitted only a synoptical review of the platforin adopted by the Democrats at Ral eigh last week, and to give the same our hearty endorsement. ONE THING AND ANOTHER. Cattle are dying in Lenoir county from black tongue. The Raleigh Signal, L,oge Harris's paper, has started into life again. H. P. Cheatham, the colored Con gressman from the Second district, was renominated by the Republi cans last week. John S. Lea a colored lawyer of Fayetteville, is candidate for Congress on the Republican ticket in the Third district. k Hayti and San Domingo are at war. These little mushroom Re- publicg are aj ways kicking up some imiju ui a luuipws wiin eacu otper. Two dea mutes in Canada made amial off a live baby. They ate the flesh from the baby's cheeks and were progressing with their meal when the baby's mother interrupted them. Two negroes, George Early and Bird Woods, were hanged at Rocky Mount, Va., for arson. They died protesting their innocence. Both ex pressed themselves as being bound for paradise.

John F Allen, the man who first began the manufacture of cigarettes in this country, died in Richmond, Va., on the 24th inst., at the age of seventy-five years. The Democrats of Wfke 'did a good thing when they nominated John W. Thompson for Clerk of the Superior Court. Upchurch had as well be making his arrangements to step down and out. Wake county has negro independ ent candidates for Clerk of the Sn perior Court and Register of Deeds This looks somewhat like there will be a split in the Republican ranks in. that county. Parson Ferrebee, a colored preach er of Raleigh, announces his inten tion of organizing an exodus of the negroes of Harnett, Moore, Cumber land and Richmond counties, to go to the Northern States. The remains of Capt. John F-ricc son, the inventor of the Monitor, have berp sent to hisuative country Sweden. The United States war ship transported the remains, which were placed on board with imposing ceremonies. The colored Republicans held a meeting in Raleigh on Tuesday and determined that henceforth they had to have their share of the offices, or the white Republicans would "hear something drap." They say, and with good reason,.. .that they will no longer do the voting to keep a hand ful of white Republicans in office while they get nothing. The Stale convention to-day will demonstrate to what extent they will Vie domi nated by their white brethren. How We Are Prospering. A Nebraska farmer recently load ed up his three teams, one with corn, one with oats, and one with pota toes. Behind one team he hitched atfat steer, and behind another he hfched a fat cow. With this outfit he started to his "home market" where he sold the products of his farm. The fat steer bought him a suit of ordinary ekithing ; the fat cow bought him a common over coat ; the load of potatoes bought him a hat and a pair of gloves ; the load of oats bought him a pair of boots and a pair of socks, and the load of corn bought him a suit of underclothing. He went home whooping for "Harrison, protection, and the home market," and wearing upon his person the products of a fat steer, a fat cow, a load of corn, a load of oats, and a load of potatoes.
