We acknowledge the receipt of the First Annual lteport of the Com missioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the State of North Caro lina. A condensed review of it in another column. TOirafreiiidefcted to Col. Clark, of lyftvan Mills, for a package of papers containing leading articles on the tariff question. Before having seen them we promised to publish them, . 1 - 11 i. A 1 . 1 A proviueu iney wereiiouwiuug, uui we find on examining them that we shall be unable to do so, since they can not be curtailed without damag ing their force, and they are too long for our paper. 1 Wo will gladly print short extracts or communications on either side of this question, but have not the spare time to segregate the more forcible points from long arti cles. They must come to us short, crisp, and to the point, or we cannot use them. This will apply to all communications on whatever subject. As we have heretorore said, the Truhii will boost no man for office, nor favor the schemes of any politi cal faction. It shali be 6trictly inde pendent, commenting upon the falla cies and errors of politicians and par ties without regard to creeds, and giving, without endorsement, such comments of the press, bearing up on these, as may come to hand. Our object being to .fill the paper AVith such articles as will enable the people to become informed concerning all matters transpiring around them, whether political, agricultural, or what not. In order to do this, we invite short, pointed, proper com munications from all sides and all shades of opinion. We are aware that there are narrow-minded partisans so blinded With prejudice, conceit, and igno rance that they cannot distinguish between independent criticism of men and measures and absolute ad vocacy of them. In other words, they will regard any criticism of a member of their party as evidence of the critic's endorsement of the. views and politics of their opponents. On such nincompoops it is not neces sary to waste words. They are the mere puppets of faction, used as tools to stir up strife and excite prejudice, vilfy and slander opponents, just as tinder is used to start a fire, or as a pimp is made a procurer to gratify his master's unholy lusts. However, if we are forced by any reason to take up the shibboleth of faction and go into discussion with the partisan press of the country in the advocacy or for the promotion of any political organization, we shall issue a paper entirely separate and distincjt' from the Truth ; and we shall then endeavor to take care of if . .out critics and our opponents. Our course snail be determined in this matter by the policy of men who not only esteem themselves chari table but wise. The publication of the Truth will be continued in any event and remain true to the princi ples enunciated at the beginning, VOTE ASYOU THINK. The Labor Advocate ( Lewiston, Me.,) is so truthful and happy in the subjoined remarks which are so ap plicable not only to this, but to alt sections, that we adopt them bodyly withour further comment : The event of the past few eeks make it quite certain that Cleveland and Blaine will again be pitted a y gainst each "other in 1888. The bloody shirt and Maria Halpin will probably have a rest, and free trade and protection will be the battle cry. Some side dishes will be sandwich ed into the bill of fare in certain states, to catch the eye and please the palate of those who are not dying for free trade soup or protection pud ding. And now, before the buttle commences, we want to caution the laboring people a little on some points that we think they have overlooked in the past. First, don't make up your mind how you are going to vote, before you know what you are voting for. Don't say you are a democrat or a republican, but say you are a man, and let your actions prove it. Don't watch to see how the cat is going to jump, so as to be on the winning side, but st which way is right, and take that road, though you travel it alone. Don't throw your hat in the air be- 1 - T a cause some one else aoes. i gives the bystanders a chance to see that your head is not proportioned right. Thinking men don't do thejump ngjack trick when some politician pulls the string. Thinking men are not put down on the sure side of the tally board, when ward politicians run over the list. It is only the' lunkheads 'that they are sure of. Thinking men have the respect of their opponents, while the partisan blind idiot is held in utter contempt by his pretended friends, who flatter him only to use him. Thinking men don't take their cue from curb-stone itoliticians, or cam paign speakers. They read and think for themselves. They are the safety- valves of this republic; they are the ones that have made possible all the great reforms of the past and will still hold the lever in the future; and it behooves every man to think well before he casts his vote in- any election. To be a partisan democrat or a partisan republican is sure to make a man a bigoted ass as well. He seldom knows it.but other people do. How we have pitied such men about election time but could not help them because they would not help themselves. The bigoted partisan is usually happy because he don't know any better. lie never reads but one side of the political question, and for that resaon he don't know anything about that side even, be cause he don't know whether what he has read is true or false. Such a man lives a useless life, and when he dies his party loses a vote, that's all, but the community losses nothing because nothing from something does not affect the remainder. THEN AND NOW. For the Tki tu. In 1876 -'77 when Radical thieves perpetrated the monstrous fraud in counting Tilden out and Hayes into the Presidency, there was no go d man or patriot in our land that could find language sufficiently strong to express his abhorance of the foul deed; and we had hoped that the day nad passed for such outrages up on the American ballot: we had hoped that the, infamy heaped upon the actors in that transaction would be an everlasting warning to others But it seems very probable that the very parties that condemned that fraud in the most positive manner have been guilty of a crime in character not less flagrant. Were fer to the recent action of the Deme cratic majority in Congress in refusing to investigate the case of Thobe vs. Carlisle. .It was not necessary for Thobe to establish beforehand a bo na fide case to obtain a hearing. He alleged a claim and offered to produce tesimony; and, although his request wras backed by four thousand peti tioners, his complaint was treated with utter contempt; and upon no other grounds than the fact that Car lisle filed affidavits denying one or two points made by Thobe. No op portunity was given the contestant to prove his allegations, or even to examine the answer of the contes tee. All this seems to be very in consistent for a party claiming to be the champion of a free ballot and a fair count. It was such conduct as this in part that has nearly turned the control of the Government from the Republi cans to the Democrats, and both par ties must learn that all such frauds are boomerangs that will sooner of later bring their own remedies. It is no excuse to say that Thrabe was a poor devil of a Knight of La bor. Be he what he might, it he was elected to a seat in Congress, ( to which all the circumstances point) he alone had a right to a sat noun that district, and Carlisle's ex parte affidavits were no answer whatever to his claims. If he was not elected Congress should have ascertained the fact in a fair and impartial way, and let the country kno'.v it. The Knight of Labor party may be odious to such politic ans as have broken faith with the people, but neither the party nor the sentiment will ever be crushed or smothered in that way. R. Lexington, N. C, Feb. 4th, '88. For the Truth. On Tuesday, Jan. 31, at the resi dence of Mr. (. W. Greene, Prof. C. F.

Swice goon, of South River. Numerous presents were given as a proof of the high esteem in which she was held. LABOR STATISTICS. From the North Ststo. - We have received from Mr. W. N. Jones, Commissioner of Labor Sta tistics, a copy of his first annual le port. It is meague in details consid ering the immense field to draw from; but it must be admitted credi table work on the slim meansfford ed the Commissioner. It is the be- giniug of what we hope will develop inio a bureau oi great importance iu our State. We think Mr. Jones has shown a warm interest in his work, and has done all that could be ex- to be " ihel ,.ectt.ti in viewof his cramped sur udy to know Uoundiniis. The "re port, is a good pa- J per, and can be read with profit by every citizen of the State. Mr. Jones sent blanks out to indi- viduals in the different counties which he desired filled up with an- j swers to questions therein asked ' the hrst blank was sent to mechanics and laborers, other than farm hands, A great many returns show a laree number of counties in which no me chanical pursuit is regularly follow ed. All but three counties in the State are represented. The Commis sioner dwells with force on the lack of education manifested bv the re turns, and points out in clear lan guage the overwhelming necessity of a greater interest in schools, and an increase of school facilities. Many mechanics complain that they are forced to work from 12 to 14 hours a day, and have no time for recreation or mental improvement. Mr. Jones gives cogent reasons for a ten hour law, except as to farm labor. lhat he says cannot be regulated bv legislation. lie also calls attention to the oppressive systew of employ ers, w hich is called the "Pluck Me" systew: giving employees checks or tickets which must be taken up in goods at the company store. In this way lie says the employer cuts off the compensation at both ends. This he says should be stopped. liunconibe countv pays the best wages in the State: blacksmiths?!. 50, carpenters $2.u0, brick masons $3.00, stone masons $2.50, plasterers 2.50, painters $l,7o, printers, 1.50, moald ers $2.50, millwrignts S2.00. millers $1.00, tinners 2.25, wagon makers 2.00, sawyers 2.00, laborers 90cts; Hours ot labor 10. Buncombe pays on an average one third more than any A.-il.A. count, in me orate. Lo answer question, whether dur ing past year they have been able to save anything. 118 say no, and 57 yes. In Buncombe where the best wages are paid, nut of 12 em nlovees 4 say they saved nothing, 3 say they jraveu sometning, and 5 refused to tell. The only man who saved any thing in Durham was a bookkeeoer. No employee saved anthing in Guil- ioru, Aiiegnany, Anson, Alexander, Bladen, Caldwell, Camden, Carteret, Caswell, Chatham, Craven, Cumber land, Davidson, Davie, Edgecombe, Franklin, Graham, Granville, Mar tin, ftlithell, Nash, Northampton, Onslow, Pamlico, Person, Randolph, Robeson, Rockingham, Htanly or Surry Every one who reported from Swain and Stokes saved money. One printer in Pitt County accumu lated some money. He ought to be put on exhibition.' Everybody who reported from Johnson saved money. Carpenters are away ahead in num ber of those who made money; black smiths come next. The note from employers aie inter esting. They show rather scanty living, and poor chance foreducation of children. There is general com plaint of abundance of "jackleg" help. Skilled men think there should be apprentice laws. Tne notes irm employers are a good study. On the whole the showing is not satisfactory, it is clear that North Carolina must have more manufacturing interest or she will sink into poverty. The people must adopt some remedy, and that soon, to bring money into the State and foster manufacturing or give up the gun. Tins report if carefully read and taken as a true picture of the situation will make a man sick. We hope there will be an improve ment shown in the next one. Greensboro Patriot: Mr. Ed. M Hendricks, of this city, has recently experienced another remarkable case of paralysis, which rendered him totally helpless at the time. In fine, he could neither use a limb, see nor hear, and his eyelids were para lyzea as that he could not move them. His condition'was really al arming, as all hopes vanished fir his recovery, and he was given up to die. A few mornings ago, however, he awoke feeling perfectly well and natural. His eyelids moved and his hearing was restored, lie found that he was able to get up and walk, which he did, when lie found that every trace of paralysis had left him, and he felt well and strong.
