The fact that the tariff bill has passed brings the American people and their duties face to face. A New Salem, Pa., man has a sheep with two mouths. What a fortunate thing it is that Crank Blair or Joe Cannon haven't two mouths. The president of the Louisville and Nashville and Mr. Inman, of the Richmond Terminal, have failed to come to terms on the adjustment of competing rates for the Southern business. Miss Anna Dickinson claims the maternity of Lodge's Force bill, the idea of which, she says, sprang out of her campaign speeches in 1888. Miss Anna should be ashamed of herself to mother such a monstrosity. Rev. Frank Forsythe, a Methodist Episcopal minister of Rockland, N. Y., who was dismissed from the church for playing base ball, has started a base ball church of his own, and will fight the devil from his own base. They have just had a two seconds' shock of earthquake in the moun tains of California, but starting in the Green Mountains the Vermont quake is still going on its chilling career all through the Grand Old Party. Now that the Maine election is over a pretty little row is promised in the Pine Tree State. Reed's great victory lias made his friends feel what the irreverent ones term "cocky," and they propose to give Blaine, Hale and Manley a proper chastisement. Two worlds, the higher and the lower, separated by the thinnest of partitions. The lower world is that of questions, the upper world is that of answers. Endless doubt and un rest here below; wondering, admir ing, adoring certainty above. Oliver Wendell Holmes. It is gratifying to receive the re port that at least fourteen Republi can newspapers in the Illinois dis trict represented by Cannon have declined to support him for renoni ination on account of the gross vulgarity of which he was guilty so recently on the floor of the House. The farmers are to have some little consideiation in the new tariff that is, if they live in the right part of the country. Binding twine is on the the free list, so that the farmers of the Northwest will not be taxed for the twine with which they bind their grain. This is right. But when it was moved in the Senate to take off the bagging with which the Southern farmers bind up their cotton and the hoops with which the bale are tied, voted both propositions down. The Southern farmers do not vote right and have no claims on the present taxing power. TJf KRE WILL RE SO SPLIT IX S. V. The Democratic State Convention of South Carolina met in Columbia September 11th, and after remaining in session until 5 o'clock the Far mers' Ticket lead by Hon. B. R. Til man for Governor were nominated. j It is a singular fact that the nomi : nees for Governor and Secretary .of State are the only farmers on the ticket. The Treasurer is a banker and physician and all the others are lawyeis. There will be no split in the Democratic party. The platform adopted re-affirms the platform and principles of the national Democratic party; favors free and unlimited silver coinage; an increase of the currency and the repeal of the internal revenue system; denounces the McKinlev tariff bill; the Lodge force bill, and the action of Speaker Reed; demands that legal tender treasury notes be issued in lieu of national bank notes in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a system and that all money issued by the goverment shall be legal tender in payment of all debts, both public and private. In accepting the nomination for Governor Captain Tillman referred with much feeling to the circulation through the press, North and South, of injurious articles concerning him and said that the newspapers for months had been teeming with as-sei-tions that he was a slanderer, a demagogue, a vile man, a dyna mite and a Republican, and the Uni ted States was standing aghast at the prospect of his election, feeling that the people of South Carolina were going through a sort of French revo lution, and that one of the sans cu lottes was going to occupy the Gu bernatorial chair, backed by a horde of ignorant people. He denounced this as a lie. "It has been asserted," said he, "by some who claim to have ex perience in finance, that they fear that the Tillman administration, be ing composed of inexperienced men, would not be able to refund the debt. My answer to that is this : Honesty knows no experience. I have al ways paid my own debts and in the name of God why should I try, as it has been asserted that I would, to do anything to bring discredit upon the State of South Carolina and injure her credit." "Before the term of office expires to which you will elect me the State's credit will, I confidently believe, be higher that it ever has been." DEATH TO REPITBLICAXISM. In Kentucky the official returns of the late election show an increase of nearly 15,000 in the Democratic vote and a decrease of over 7,000 in the Republican vote. In Vermont the returns show a de crease of 33 per cent, of the Republi can vote and an increase of the Dem ocratic vote. In Alabama every new industrial centre peopled by- Northern capi talists and workman yoted over whelmingly Democratic, even in the strongest Republican precincts, simply because Republican pronerty owners couldn't assent to the Force Election bill. In Arkansas, the fusion against the Democracy polled its full vote and the largest ever cast, but the fullest vote was brought out to pro test against Force Election politics, and whites and blacks owning pro perty voted the Democratic ticket. Such are the lessons of the recent elections, North and South. If the Republican leaders in Congress don't understand what they teach, then is Republicanism an organization with out leadership. Raum's conduct of the Pension office has become so flagrantly scan dalous, with private speculations and official favoritism, that it is now giyen out at Washington that his resignation is expected as an alter natiye to removal. The President deserves no sympathy in the trouble the Pension Bureau has given him. He knew that Tanner was unfit when he appointed him; he knew that Raum was equally unfit. Tanner was mainly a fool; Raum is some thing else; in either case the appoint ment was not merely a blunder but a crime. The New Discovery. You have heard your friends and neigh bors talking about it. You may yourself be one of the many who know from per sonal experience just how good a thing it is. If you have ever tried it, you are one of its staunch friends, because the wonder ful thing about it is, that when once given a trial, Dr. King's New Discovery ever after holds a place in the house. If you have never used it and should be afflicted with a cough, cold or any Throat, Lung or Chest trouble, secure a bottle at once and. give it a fair trial. It Is guaranteed every time, or money refunded Trial Bot tles Free at J. G. Hall's Drugstore. STATE POLITICS. The Prohibitionists are making preparations to start a paper in Ran dolph county, also a ticket. The prohibitionists of Guilford, through their chairman, C. H. Ire land, have called a. county conven tion to be held September 27th, with a view to placing a full ticket in the field if deemed advisable. Rockingham county is the bulwark of the Democracy in the Fifth Dis trict. Now that Mr. Webster and his faction have given pledges of their loyalty to the party and its nominees, the chances of William's election are greatly strengthened. The Alamance county Prohibition ists met last Saturday and put out the following ticket, and a platform much larger: For the House, Rev. J. W. Holt: Sheriff, W. C. Iseley; Clerk, David Thompson; Register, S. E. Woody; Treasurer, R. A. Craw ford. The ticket nominated in the Person county Democratic Convention last Sciturdav is as follows: For Sheriff, S. P. Williams; D. W. Bradsher; Register, C. A. Whitfield; Treasurer, C. B. Brooks, Coroner, Dr. J. A. Wise; Surveyor, J. H. Howard, J. T. Yancey for the Legislature. The negroes, it is stated, have de manded perhaps requested is a bet ter woi-d that James H. Young, colored, be made collector at Wil mington. From what has been gathered it is not probable that this request, or indeed any other made by the delegation which called on the President at Washington will be granted. A Republican in speaking to us this evening about our inefficient railway mail service tells us we need have no fears of any more incompe tent appointment by Mr. Brower after the expiration of his present term, for he felt quite sure that he would not be returned to Congress, at least he was certain that he would not have his vote. Twin City Daily. Gentlemen who have recently been up to the "State of Wilkes" say that the Republicans are trying to per suade Maj. W. A. Graham to run on an independent ticket against Cowles promising him the support of both the Republican party and the ex treme Alliance men. In the event that he will not nin, then a Republi can will be put forward, and Dr. York is likely to be the man, as Lin ny declines to face Col. Cowles. Winston Sentinel. Keep your eye on the fellow who quietly says to Republicans and sore heads, "I don't know whether I can support the whole Democratic ticket or not." And remember it against him if he claims to be a Democrat. He that is not for us is against us in the battle upon which we are enter ing, and the man who talks doubt ingly about not voting for a Demo cratic nominee who is an upright man would be Republican if It would pay him better ! State Chronicle. The Roanoke News says that it has been an open secret in Halifax coun ty for some that at the suggestion of the Farmers' Alliance the executive committee of the two parties have been conferring with a view to divid ing the county offices and avoid an acrimonious campaign. Committees representing the Alliance, the Re publican and the Democratic parties have had a conference. Their action is subject to the approval and en dorsement of the two parties before going into effect or having any force whatever. A two-year old tot in New York had a narrow escape the other day. On the roof of a building which was fifty-two feet high there was an old baby carriage, which was put up there out of the way. While the mother, who lives in the second story of the building, was engaged the little one, an older brother and an other child climbed the stairs to . the roof before she knew it. The two little ones put the two year old in the old carriage, and began to roll it on the roof, which inclined slightly to wards the street. In doing so it it slipped from their grasp and, as there was nothing to stop it, went like a shot to the street. A lad pas sing saw it rolling off the roof, and as the carriage struck the ground caught the little one in his arms and saved her life. The carriage was broken into splinters. It is astonishing how rapidly the feeble and debilitated gain strength and vigor when taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. For what are called "broken down constitu tions," nothing else has proved so effect ive as this powerful but perfectly safe medicine. A IIarl Comer. The age of 30 is a hard corner for a wo man to turn, and 85 is still harder. She feels that she is fast leaving her'j-outh behind her. But thfre is no reason why a woman should be faded and passe at5, or even at 45. The chief cause of the early fading of American women is fotlnd in the fact tbat many of thnm suffer frm some form of female weakness or diselse which robs the face of its bloom, dr;AS dark circles about the eyes, brings efjly wrinkles and sallownfss, and stamps he face and figure with signs of ill-heauh. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure all these troubles, will bring bac k the lost bloom, and remove the pains and ailments which mak women grow old before their time. Guaranteed to jrive satisfaction in every case, or price ($1.00) refunded. Mrs. James K. Polk, who lives at the old homestead near Nashville. Tenn., passed the 87th anniversary of her birthday last Thursday. She is a well preserved old lady and en tertains callers with courtly courtesy. Win.
