WHAT THE PRESS OF OUR STATE HAS TO SAY ABOUT MEN AND MEASURES. As It Appears to Our Brethren of tho Quill in North Carolina On Political and other Questions. v Mr. Henry Blount, the versatile and accomplished euitor of the Wil son Mirror, is under an engagement to deliver a hundred lectures at the South, and so far his lecture enter prise has met with such success as justifies the congratulations of his friends. He is a very fine lecturer and wins golden opinions wherever he speaks. Our best wishes accom pany him in hia tour. News & Observer Chronicle. Notwithstanding the election was held last November the 3rd party speakers.are still actively engaged canvassing our State from centre to circumferauce, keeping afresh - the party strife, always so malignated during the few weeks preceeding an election. There is a meaning at- tached to all this. Our 3rd nartv friends are, right cow, straining every nerve in their efforts to carry North Carolina in the next election. -Clinton Democrat. The week before the County Al liance met in various portions of the State recently, Marion Butler, Presi dent of the organization, sent a cir cular telling the different Alliances to offer resolutions calling upon Con gress not to vote for the repeal of the Sherman law until free coinage of silver, "or something better" is se cured. Reports having been coming in from all oyer the State showing that the Alliance-men marched right and did what Butler ordered. Comment is unnecessary. Concord Times. The Progressive Farmer has a funny editorial about Hoke Smith's pension reform, in which the impres sion is conveyed that only two fraudu lent pensioners have been cut off. Since March 4th 245 fraudulent pensioners shave been absolutely drop ped from the roll, and 5,090 have been suspended, pending further in vestigation, and it is estimated that a large majority of the latter will be dropped. The Progressive Far mer ought not to deceive its readers in trying to belittle the efforts being made to get rid of the fraudulent. peusioners. Kinston Free Press. The New York World says that the President will ask congress for the unqualified repeal of the Sher-j man silver law. lie may, and Con gress may repeal it unconditionally we think it should do so, since to higgle over the conditions will mean delay. But after it has been repealed some measures must be substituted for it, otherwise the country will be brought to a mono-metalic basis, and the contrary of that was contemplat ed by the financial plank of the national platform. The wisdom and good faith of the party in Congress are surely equal to the task of pro viding a substitute after" the repeal as fully as before. Charlotte Ob server. Zebulon B. Vance is now declin ing in years and although he has to some uureasoning people seemingly taken water with regards to . the Ocala platform, whenever his name is mentioned before a public gather ing it is always applauded. God bless the old chief. He has the love of our people and there is no use of dehyr ing it. . The other day several old Alliancemen were talking. One of them said: "We have all abused Vance, and I have sworn vengance on him many a time, but the other day when his name was casually mentioned at the Alliance meeting I thoue-ht the crowd would raise the 0 roof-off the house with cheers and I, too, found myself -with my Hat in my hand waving it. Ihere is no use denying it, we all love the great old man." Mt Airy News. . " Will .the Democracy keep faith with the people and fulfill the oromises made bvthe nartv leaders during the last campaign? 33x If it does not then the Democratic party may as well hang its harp on a willow tree. , Tlw people will no longer be deceived by pledges which are onlv made to be broken. But the present administration has: only just begun and.it is too soon yet to find fault and make threats: . Give it timewait and see what it will do.

The total number of pensioners .under act of June 27.'1890, who have been notifi ed since the incoming of the present administration that the paymentrof their pension has been suspended is approximately, 5,250. The whole number of pensions granted under the act is asserted' to be 870,000.VOf this number 70,000 were to widows, minors and dependent relatives, leav ing 300,000 to be investigated. Up to this time about 25 per cent. of.. the number being paid to the soldiers themselves are" being suspended, pending the receipt of satisfactory proof of inability to perform manual labor. If the same ratii is maintained through the entire list, about 75,1)00 will have been suspended. It is stated at the Pension Office that In none of these cases is fraud charged, the suspension being 'based upon an error of the Pension Office in miscon struing the law- " Valuable Cai pet.

Distress in Kansas. . A special correspondent of the New York Times; writing from To- peka. gives distressing- accounts of the condition of western Kansas, He has visited eleven counties and has found every one of them a picture of gloom. 1 In two of these counties it hasnot rained for ten months. Many of the people have lett their homes In despair. - in a town which a year ago had several hundred inhabitants there are now only three persons, a cattle herder, his wife and child. In some parts of this unfortunate region the farmers have worked ten years and gathered only one crop Most of the people in this and re gion were lured there by land boom era and speculators who gave glow ing accounts of fits fertility. The deluded settlers are getting away as fast as they can, ut most of them have nothing left iand are well nigh in despair. It is truly a pitiful story. i . Poisoned by Drinking Milk. Louiavxujs Kt., .July 26. A mysterious case of poisoning occur red in the neighborhood of Hancock and Green streets this morning. As a result twenty-seven people have been taken violently ill: three of whom are now in a serious condition All who were taken ill drank milk purchased from the dairy of Frank Mosher, at the corner of Hancock and Green streets. The sickness began with violent purging and vomit ing and is proving much more serious to the older victims than to the children who drank the milk. Ex Detective Carter Tiller, Theresa Long and Mrs. Josie Rapp are in a critical condition and fears are expressed that they will not recover. As soon as it was learned that all of the peo pie were ill had partaken of the milk purchased at Mosher' s store, Officer Theodore Blatz ordered Mosher to stop selling it. At first he refused to comply with - the officer's orders, but closed his doors later, when threatened with arrest. Dr. Buckle, who waited onmost of the" people, says theses cases are similar to those of the famous Herr- Snooks. poisoning. It is believed that the milk waanot affected from standing in cans, but might be the resu't of "milk fever" which is due to the cows becoming-overheated.

It is scarcely.possible to exagger ate the influence a mother may Jiave over her offspring. She-is, or should be, with ,her children almost jpon tinuou8ly daring the .formative ; pe riod ef their "lives,- when - they - are most impressionable. rThe.-father's influence is" less direct. He fur nishes, unconsciously perhaps, an example to the child good "or bad, as the case may be 'but the - mother is a preceptor - as well as example-. f she be a good mother, she will have more control over her child through the -influence of Jove -than the father can gain . through the in fluence of fear-, in fact"respect and ove are the only influences that can be relied upon to guide a child aright. The rod, once considered essential. has long since passed in to disrepute, for it encourages deception. But the mother who has won the heart of her boy punishes more severely than tww m , i j-A U 1 J C i- U I erief over his misconduct, and she i i uvu ouu mail & iltDvo iai. i keens him true to himself and to her through the benign influence of ove.

Fortunately the maternal . instinct teaches most women how to be good mothers, for it is impossible to teach the art by precept except in the most general way. The prime duty of the mother is to care for the physical and moral well-being of her offspring. - If the child is to be strong and healthy he ; must have plenty ot exercise, and that means that while he is young, at least, he mnsf ha allrttvA1 nlantw rtnTnifnTi?fw to play and not to be overworked! with studies- The noise he may make must be tolerated to some ex tent that he may not be driven to aplr hia i mnaamanfa avaw frrtm home, for home should be the place of highest enjoyment and greatest freedom. The child who can be made to love his home is surrounded by tho best of moral influences. It s not merely that he escapes tempta tions, but he avoids bad associates. Both the girls and the boys should be kept under home influences dur- ing all the earlier years, and when the time comes for them to go out into the world they should still be nnrlflr t.hfi wnt.r.hfnl oarn nf fftthAf nr mother until they nave learned fy The mother's influence should - last 1.1 L 1 t. ..I .1 wiiougu m, ouu witsrt- vvum u uiu when the boys at least should be put under the father's care.

The . poor may be driven to neglect of their children by hard necessity or by the vices that make them poor. The - rich have neither excuse. A selfish love of pleasure or the demands of fashion will lead smother to turn the care of her child over to a nurse and then to a tutor, so the little one grows -up with no knowledge of a mother's love and care and scarcely more than "a passing acquaintance with the busy father. - What the result of. such neglect of the rich and the poor may be depends upon the accident of cir cumstance.
