COMMENTS 0 THE RESULTS.
1 VIKW3 OF THE LEADLNO PAPERS

j CommsntiDg on the results of
i Tuesday's election, the New York
! Herald, ind., says : "The elections
J are a complete triumph for the ad
I ministration. The victory is along
the whole line. The national,
state and municipal administra
tions were alike on trial, and the
verdict as regards President Cleve
land, Governor Hill and Mayor
Hewitt, 'Well done, good and
faithful servants !' We cannot
overestimate tbe significance of
thia verdict in its effect npon na
tional politics. Whatever the faults

i Jyt-Xvk.itoesrep. : "On the
CC4ss)rttf!el9ltted ia the canvass
iSSUAnii oahe Be
on the I)emocrtio aide, the verdict
of Tuesday is complete, satisfactory
aad convincing. Mr. Piatt is hope
lesely discredited as a leader. To
the fortanes of Piatt as aBepubli
can 'boss' this ueteac ahoaia be
disastrous. If it be not that, then
it is sure proof that disaster, and
disaster only, awaits the Bepubh
can party under his domination.
The vote of Tuesday serve notice
oa the Republican party that Piatt
and "Biaine, whom, for the time
being, PUtt represented, must be
given np or all hope of success in
tbe presidential campaign next
year ranst be abandoned. That
such notice ha been served is a
great gain lor honest government,
not only in this State, but in the
nation."
New York Tribune, rep. : "We
see no reason for Republican dis
may in this result. The Democrats
have won by the moat trt mentions
exertions. They have been able to
assess the employees of the Fede
iai, State and municipal govern
ments foe funds, which were swollen
to great proportions by the aid of
liquor dealers who were determined
to pan is h the Bepablican party for
enacting trmperance legislation.
It is notorious that the Democrats
have beep supplied with money in
this campaign to an extent only
seen heretofore in presidential cam
paigns, and it has pot been wasted
oa processes qpdre&sed to the rea
son of voters. At the same time
the prohibition fanatics have at
tacked the other flank, and by
sheer iteration, and activity have j
produced, a considerable result. ' i
New York World, ind. : "The re-;

indeed a lucky man, and James G. ;

ness that this was an nncompromis

pure and capable government and
tbe demand of arrogance and in-
competency. It was the boss
against the people, and the people
have won.
Washington Post. dem. : "All in
all, it is a triumph all along the
line, and one with which the demo
cratic party in the country at large
may well be satisfied. It settles
the country's status, and demon
strates beyond question that the
election of 1888 can only result in
continued democratic ascendancy'
How to Make Money.
RAISING COTTON AT THE PRES
BY
ENT TRICES.
Firstly The head man should
own a -yaller dog." By having a
dog of that color, lie will take in
more wild meats, such as coons,
'possums, squirrels, rabbits, Sec,
than any other kind of doe ; and
that is the way he will have to get
bis meat.
Secondly The head man should
be cross eyed, nnd if not already
so, he should get an oculist to cut a
small cord on the inner side of the
eyes, so as to turn them out an
angle of about forty-five degrees,
lie should also be a good gunner
and trapper that whilst he is

Thirdly The proprietor of the!0utthe consent of the other two.
cotton farm should own mules that
are crop-eared, blind in both eyes
and bob tailed. The object in hav
ing mules of that kind is this: he
can buy them in for two dollars and
fifty cents, for that is all the money
be can put in mules.
Fourthly The cotton planter
should have bis own force and
never let his children get of age ;
as their birthday rolls around,
move np the dates. The boys
should be freckle faced and red
headed, and should wear chip hats,
with the tops out, so as to ste the
'bar;" also copperas pants, cut so
as to come about halfway between
the knee anoT ankle, and should
go bare-footed with one suspender,
and that fastened on with a wooden
peg
Fifthly The head man 6hould
consider it a part of his religious
duty to keep his children in igno
rance and work them 10 to 13 hours
per day, and never visit the towns
or cities except to sell produce,
then keep in the middle of the
streets to prevent being tempted to
buy anything from the "land
sharks :' and if a guano agent
should mention fertilizer to him, i
stretch him out at full length with
a club that he should carry along
with him. Sell his coon skins to
pay his taxes, live at home and
board at the same place. Follow
out these instructions to the letter
and there is money in cotton at the
present prices.
Should the foregoing instruc
tions catch the eyes of tobacco
planters, don't feel stuck up, for
the same rules and regulations will
apply with equal force to them, only
I think a little more so, for whilst
he is catching one "wornim"' he
could be looking for another at the
same time. Jacob Never .Sweat,

The A, B, C of socialistic disturb
EdisiB oh tht Labor igfcon.
Thomas Edison, the electrician,
when asked by a newspaper inter
viewer what he thougLt of the
Keely motor, replied: "I have
never seen it, so I have no opinion
about it. But ail the results he is
said to have obtained can be got
from compressed air. All the air
in this room can be condensed into
; a liquid that coald be carried in a i
1 filbert shell, and it explosive force
' would bo tremendous. Skillfully i
1 released and reconstructed, it
would move a great machine.-' In
reply to the question, 'When motive
power gets to be four times as
' cheap as it is, Mr. Edison, what wili i
j become of the laboring man!"
i "He will be enriched by it. . Ma-
j chinery will be his slave. See how
; machinery has multiplied in the
j last fifty years. A.a direct rejgUt,
workingmen get dobhs Che wages
of life cost only half as much. In
other words, a hand worker can to
day buy four times as much with
ten hours ot wort as ins lamer
could fifty years ago. tor the
first time in the world's history, a
skilled mechanic can buy a barrel
of flour with a single day's work.
The machinery in the United
States represents the labor of a
thousand million men,
Or fiftv
j times a-s much labor as that of all
; toe men in me country. nen
,' believe that the unskilled laborer,
if sober and industrious, can have
a house os his own and a horse and
Iarriage and a library and a piano,
ct is terrible stupidity that leads
some laboring men to suppose
the thing that giyes them indepea
dence and even fieedom. With
out machinery society would drift
into the conditton ol master and
, slave. The multiplication ol
machinery means for every worker
more food, better clothes, better
house, less work. In fact, 1 believe
that the indefinite increase of
machinery is going to solve what
, ,t. , , .. ,
tolkscall 'the labor question-
that is, the desire ot hand workers
to eet a bigger slice of the margin
, of profit."
A Reported Quadruple Alliance.
The intelligence that England
has in some sort joined the triple
alliance renews the interest every
one must feel in this great combina
tion. As entered into by Germany,
Austria and Italy the alliance is
said to be primarily defensive, hav
ing for its aim the maintenance of
peace on tne oasis oi existing .
treaties. But the alliance provides i
for offensiye action, in concert, on j
land and sea, against any power I
which alone or with allies under
takes by an aggressive act to break
the peace of Europe. Any act
looking to a forcible disturbance of
the existing distribution of power
in Europe or in the Mediterranean
would be an "aggressive act" with
in the meaning of the compact. The
territorial modifications to be
achieved by the combined action of
the three powers is stipulated. The
powers obligate themselves to pur
I The inclusion of the Mediterranean
in the area under the care of the
I alliance shows that it is aimed
chiefly at Russia, with France as a
j possible ally. It is not asserted
that Lord Salisbury has brought
j the British Empire into the alliance
I without some reservations. Prince
Bismarck would probably insist
npon limitations upon his responsi
bility for Kussian attacks on India,
or lor French proceedings ia the
New Ilebrides it that was still an
opex question. But he and Salis
bury have common ground in Bul
garia and Egypt, and EQgland, it
is supposed, eugages to act with
Germany, Austria and Italy only
in questions affecting English in
terests on the Danube and Zs'ile.

The Remedy For Social Ills
The advocates of the new theory
j of property, in their revision of the
Bible, would giye ns an improved
i version of the parable of the Good
j Samaritan. They tell us that when
the proud Levite and the selfish
priest had passed by the wounded
man, a Kind communist came down
that way, and began to whisper in
the sufferer's ear: "My friend, you
have been much in error. You were
a thief yourself when you were
amassing your private wealth; and
these gentlemen who have just re
lieved you of it with needless
violence have only begun in a hasty
and unjustifiable manner what
must soon be done in a large and
calm way for the benefit of the
whole community." Whereupon,
we are to suppose the man was
much enlightened and comforted,
and became a useful member of
society. But Christ says that it
was a Samaritan, a man of property,
ridiQg on his own beast, and carry
ing a little spare capital in his
pocket, who lifted up the stranger,
and gave him oil and wine, and
brought him into a place of security,
and paid for his support. And to
! every one that reads the parable
he savs: ''Go thou and do like-
; wise.'' Here is the open secret of
the regeneration of society in the
, form 0f a picture. And it we want
it in the form of a philosphv we
may get it from St. Paul in hve
words: "Let hin that stole steal,
no more (reformation), but rather !
let him labor (industry), working!
with his hands that wheih j
is good (honesty), that he may ;
have (property), to give to him
that needeth (charity. "-Forum.

I Commissioner Brinson offered the fol
lowing preamble and resolutions and
moved the adoption of the same:
Whereas, The commissioners of this
county have for a number of years seeti
j and felt the necessity of havicg a bridge
across the Neuso river at some point
' near the city of New Berne, but owing
i to the impoverished condition of the
j people and the heavy burden of tax
ation that they have been laboring
under for the past twenty years, they
i have been unable to build said bridge.
; And wherea3. the county of Craven
; owns shares of the capital stock of the
! A. & N. C. R from which said county
i has never received any return for the
1 investment made.
Resolved, That steps be taken at once
by this board to sell said stock of Craven
county in said road, and the proceeds
! of said sale be applied to the building
of a bridge across the Neuse river at or
near New Berne, and if after the said
bridge is built there should be a surplus
j then apply the said surplus towards the
liquidation of the bonded debt of the
county. Provided, that in selling the
said stock it shall not be sold for a less
price than twenty-five dollars per share
and not without sufficient guarantee to
protect Craven county.
On motion of commissioner Watson
the resolution was laid over until the
next meeting of the board.
. The question of ordering an election
on the railroad propositions was Egain
taken up when Hon. C. C. Clark and
James F. Clark addressed the board in
fayor of postponing action. Hon. F. M.
Simmons addressed the board in favor
i of immediate action. Commissioner
I Mallison moved to postpone until ti e
first Monday in December. Commir
, sioner Watson moved to amend by
; postponing until Monday Nov. Mth.
Mr. Watson 'a motion was adopted.
The account of Silas Fulcher in favor
of the city of New Berno for forty dol
lars was disallowed, it having been
ascertained that theacquedudt from the
jail is stopped by deposits from the city
sewers and not from the jail.
The monthly accounts and ether
claims were allowed and the board ad
journed to Monday the 14th of Novcm-
ber.

talent and views, and all se'etions of the
country. 1'ui what is the object of the
convention? It is t consider the mo
mentous an i peculiar problems, moral
and Bccia', emerging in the c;j--ing
years of the nineteenth century, and
bearing cn all forms of Christian works:
the planting of Christian institutions,
directing popular education, allaying
growing discontent among working
men, and effectually mteticg the great
conflict with tho saloon. This study
will center around throe questions, v;s. :
1st. What aie tho present perils and
opportunities of the Christian Church
kand of the country'
2d. Can any of them be met but by
hearty co operation of all Evangelical
Christians, which, without detriment to
any denominational interests, will serve
the welfare of the whole Church?
3 i. What arc the best means to secure
such co-operation, and to'awaken tbe
whole church to its responsibility V
The intellectual and spiritual wealth
cf many denominations has been drawn
upon to furnish a programme of excep
tional interest to all who hold dear our
American institutions and our Christian
civilization. While the sessions are to
be opened by selected essayists, the
meetings r.ro t: be practical confkr
esces. The following special invitation has
been received in New Berne by Dr.

Ail troops were i:
and tbe police was ready for l;u. ini .p at
a moment's notice.
Th:? death-watch over the anarchists
in jiil was thanked at one o'clock this
morning. The deputy who waa-then j
re lieved reported that he had a long talk )
w:;h Sjees. who s'.iJ he had no reason to j
De afraid, and then launched forth in ;
vituperations against the courts. He)
assorted that ail the Judges who had 1
any connection with the case had reason i
io tremble, while tho anarchists could ,
hold up their heads and walk to
death with steady footsteps. The dep
uty also related the manner in which i
Rev. Dr. Bolton was received by Spies.
?olton asked him if he would not ac
cept spiritual consolation. Spies with
a haughty shake of tho head declared
he had no use for any clergyman. "I'll
pray for you all niht,"' 6aid Bolton'
Pray for yourself," returned Spies,
"you need it mere than I." !
At 9 10 o'clock thi? mornint; Chief
Deputy Gloaaon arrived at the jail with j
the fatal documents authorizing the exc-
cution. Capt. Black, counsel for the
anarchists, held a conference wilh Gov.
Olaaby this morning. The Gov. an-:
nounced his final and irrevocable de
cision not to further interfere. This
news was at once wired to Chicago and !
great bustie and excitement followed ,
in the jvil ofli;o. Spies was apparently
consumed by fever and drank wineand
water freely. He wrote a great deal.
Ho wrote many autographs. The other
anarchists were like Spies, entirely non- 1
ehalarjt.
SjOe after 11 o'clock a fioai lunch was
eaten by the condemned men; ten min- ,
utes later Spies, E.ngel and Fischer were i
i
in their shrouds standing at tho grated i
cell door and saying ood-byo to
friends in the visitors cage.
Dea'h warrant were read
in succession to Spies. Fischer, En
gel and Parsons. Parsons. Fischer and
Spies asked for twent- minutes each on :
the gallows for the purpose of making j
rpeeckes. but their requests were not
granted by the Sheriff.
At a quarter to 12 o'eloek the death
march to tho scaffold began: nine
minutes later the drop fell. Fischer's'
last words were, "Hurrah for Anarchy. "
The pulses of anarchists ceased to beat

coffins, were plain black ones, were
soon brought up and the bodies placed !
in them.
A3 an illuf tration of Parsons' wonder- ,
ful p'uck it may be related that this I
morning early he entertained his guard j
with the song of 'Annie Laurio. " Ho
sang it entirely through and then re- i
peated it. His fortitude was the won- ;
der of all who heard him.
Schwab and Fielden's sentences have i
been commuted by Governor Oglesby to

searched yesterday and to all appear
ance the guards that sit in front of his
cell have watched him every minute.
10:40 a. m. It is now learned that
Lingg ended his life by means of a
fumigating case nud not with a revol
ver, as first stated. He had the case in
his mouth and lit it with a candlo which
was burning in his cell. The explosion
was the first warning that the jail peo
ple had. The guard seeing him with
the candle in his hand supposed that he
was lighting a cigar. From the effects

be-e-n called for this evening to take ac
tion on the case of the several con

stood that there will bo a call for vol
unteers to go to Chicago, to be present
next Thursday night, and it is the gen
eral belief that an attempt at rescue
wili be made at that time, as there will
be a gathering of "rods" from all parts '

great preparations going on here for

is impossible to ascertain the nature of
the action to be taken.
