TIIE WORK OF DEMORALIZA

The prty organs have already be
gun the baneful work of 'proding and
goading the people to get them exer
ted, and stirred up so as to be the
easier manipulated at the coming
Presidential election, now nearly a
year off. Some are this early sepa

or Republican State., and showing
by the number of electors accredited
to each which side will win, accord

ently, seems to be rather early, but
in order to vote the people in strict
obedience to the command of the
bosses, the prejudices of the voters
must be thoroughly worked up and

waked up and recalcitrant partisans
must be whipped in. Every method

phistical will be brought into requi
sition to excite the prejudices of the
people and to get up bitter feeling
between the members of the oppos
ing factions all in the interest of a
handful ofselfseekers. Such conduct
is not only demoralizing, but unchris
tian. When we come to look at it
calmly and reasonably, it is a matter
for wonder that rational men, men
who boast of their freedom, of their
intelligence and manliness should
allow themselves to be somuch ex
cited by selfish demagogues, and so
much embittered against their fel-

"Brethren, thirty-one years of hard
work for Christ and souls He behind
me. I have never learned to rest;
have never sought to spare myself.
My only ambition is to go where is
most to be done and suffered for
Him who died for me. During these
thirty-one years of toil,' I have not
laid up enough to bury me, if I were
td die to-day. Yes, the- brethren
have given me a section in the grave
yard where my dear boy sleeps. I
am worth that much. The doctors
gave me up and said I must die. As
I wrfs lying thereon what all thought
was to be my dying bed, waiting for
death to come, I asked myself:
'What have I made of life?' The
fact that I had lived for Christ, and
not self, made me supremely happy.
Instead of dying, God raised me up,
and now I wish to testify to you that
nothing pays so well as living for
Christ." But you must hear Dr.

A CURE FOR TYPHOID FEVER.
Mr. John R. Cox, a citizen of Bal
timore, publishes the following com
munication: "Some time since &
gentleman informed me that he
knew of several persons who had
been cured of typhoid fever by the
spplicantion of mashed raw onions
to the feet. Two patients were so ill
that they were not expected to live
over a few hours. Six large onions
were pounded to pulp and applied
to the feet of the patient, lie was
relieved in a short timeand got well.
The second case was a few weeks
later and the result equally satisfac
tory. The first opportunity I had I
tried it on a colored ooy during one
of my visits to the house ojf reforma
tion for colored children.!, lie was
very ill with typhoid lever. I nam
ed the matter to Gen. Horn, who
immediately ordered the application.
In a few hours he was asleep, rested
well and recovered.
" ho is JenersonDavi- ! lie is a
statesman, a scholar, an orator and
an historian, whose defense of the
cause of his people is unanswered
and unanswerable. He ;is a great
man. He lent on the field of Mexico
imperishable lustre to American
arms, gave renown to the Senate of
the United States, and won, as an
orator, the soubriquet of the modern
Cicero' As Secretary of War he pre
pared State papers, which by com
mon consent of critics, friends and
foes, are models for the study and
guidance of statesmen, and as the
head of a new government over
came insurmountable difficulties, ,
swept away stupendous obstacles
and waged an unequal fight, for con
stitutional liberty, for four lon
years. Birmingham (Ala.) Age.
Some committeemen may be nar-
rowminded, prejudiced, or not well
informed. They would naturally
prefer "birds of their own feather."
Then favoritism, that "trail of the
serpent, is over it all." A son
daughter or friend will often be
given the place without any regard
to qualifications, to the exclusion of
more deserving candidates. It all
rests with the committee. Some are
contrary, will wrangle and dispute,
and will have no school because
they cannot have everything accord
ing to their own whims. Such men
should not have it in their power to
decide such matters. We cannot
quarrel with them because their far
thing lights are not eletaic jets; be
cause their tallow-dips do not give
out the glorious blaze of Nature's
grand illuminator. It is not given
to every one to rise above his own
petty interests and from the higher
and broader plains of a sublime
philanthropy see and desire what is
bet for the community, the section,
our State, our country. Yet only
such should have charge of the ed
ucational interests; only such decided
questions of such momentous im
portance as who shall teach t he rising
generations. From a Communi
cation in Rockingham Rocket.
Mr. Manning was right when he
said: As the more numerous part of
our population, our wage earners are
of course the first, the last and the
most to be affected by injurious laws.
Every government by true states
men will Watchfully regard their
condition and interests. If these are
satisfactory, nothing else can be of
very momentous importance; but
our so-called protective statesman

On Thursday night a strange pro
cession passed through the streets of
JSew York. It carried blood-red
flags and banners of solid black and
it marched to the music of mournful
dirges. Never before has such a
sight been beheld in an American
city, and the frames of the United
States could never have foreseen it.
Two thousand men wearing the in
signa of mourning, paraded down
Oroadway in honor of seven con
demned murderers. O tempora. Q
mores! Who are these men? Our
countrymen? No. Germans, Rus
sians, Hungarians, foreigners, with
foreign faces and foreign speech, out
of sympathy with our customs and
hostile to our institutions. The very
fact of their being allowed to parade
should have taught them that they
were in a Land of the Free. Pedes
trians gazed at them curiosly and
passed on. They accomplished
nothing. Anarchy can have no
place in this country and the Amer
ican people refuse to regard its vic
tims as martyrs. Under existing
laws the police had no power to pre
vent this parade. They would inter
fere only in case the. Anarchists be
came riotuons. But thv? laws should
be changed; for such a parade is a
disgrace to New York city. True,
the men carried the American nag.
But they carried it furled, while the
black flag of death and the red flag
of blood flaunted boldly m the air.

Mr. Jo Harris, the Air line en
gineer, has returned to tne city irom
Greenville, with his counsel, Mr. P.
D. Walker, of the firm of Bur.weil &
Walker, who went to Greenville to
represent hini. The trial of the en
gineer was not called in court, the
solicitor failing to send in a bill.
Through his counsel, engineer Har
ris made a motion in writing asking
to be tried then and there, but the
case went over to the next term.
Mr. W. T. Bailey, who was tried at
Statesville last week upon the charge
of forgery, and found guilty by the
jury, was yesterday arraigned before
Judge '.falter Clark to receive hi
sentence. Judge Clark sentenced
him to a term of ten years in the
State penitentiary. Mr. Bailey,
through his counsel, entered an an
peal from the judgment of the court,
as we learn by a telegram received
here last night, and his bona was
fixed at SI, 500. The case created a
ereat deal of interest on account of
the prominence of the parties engag'
ed in the suit.- Charlotte Chronicle.
