The passage of the Federal
Election Law by the House of Bep-
resen.tatives is no surprise to us.
It is the last desperate attempt to

its object. The finger of Fate has

Never before were there so
many candidates for Congress
before the nominating Convention
Among many reasons for this may
be the inability of the present Con
gress to deal with great questions
of public interest, and the national
disposition of every patriot to go
t) the rescue of his bleeding
country. May we not indalge the
hope that the next Congress will
be a big improvement on the
presem one.
The City Board of Greensboro,
N. C, have had a lively discussion
of the saloon question. After a
most spirited contest, rive licenses
were granted, and the tax fixed at
$500 each. An ordinance was
passed requiring all gambling
appliances, such as billiards &c,
screws, pictures and other obstruc
tions to view to be removed from
bar rooms.
The Democrats in the Congress
see the great dangers lurking in
the diabolical Force bill ofRadl
calism and warn the South against
it. They have issued a vigorous
protest that will not go unheeded.

Wilmington Messenger.
Let every good Democrat in

Democrat has a right to be beard
in its deliberations. Cliques and
rings have no place in the party,

grave responsibilities and impor-
tant duties. It is the trumpet
blast that calls us to stand by
sacred right with undying faith
and unflinching resolution. No
possible condition of human
affairs can justify the exhibition of
a craven spirit. Manhood must be
the distinguishing characteristic of
the South.
The nr8t crack9 made in the
8mooth surface of friend. hip are as
dangerous as those which oome to
the sheeny satin garment of young
married love. Freedom of speech
and exacting close attention, neg
lcet of due forms, liberties beyond
tbe license of jast intimacy, all
these are cracks to be stopped in
the beginning, else the time will
come wuen no masonry or tact or ;
of affection can repair them. j

fruitless pursuit of useless excite
ment.
Kver.vthing iu nature "grows
either healthy or unhealthy; and

As it is with individuals so it is
with manic palities. The city that

A city that is trustful of itself will
command faith in others. The
location of a plant by a citizen will
cause the location of a dozen plants,
and capital will flow in like the
tides of tbe sea. The greatest
enemy to any city is the citizen
wbo has no confidence in its

A period is approaching that will
put tbe manhood and self reliance

to us, and we have defended it !
Whatever may have been our
faults, no man can say that we
have been false to home and native

the conduct of our lives. With an
honorable self reliance, an unfalter

sublime trnst in God, we will move
intrepidly forward in the path of

The old saying, "a good begin

wrong. "Train up a child in the
ways he should go, and when he is

But when we wrote the caption
of this article, we were thinking of
this year's political campaign.
The judicial convention lately in

though not demonstrative, was! in the eveut of their 1I01112 hard1
sincere and abiding; his was the
very soul of honor; he was iudeed
"One of nature's uoble young

confiding and trustful to a degree
that spurned dissimulation and
hated hypocrisy ; his gentility was
proverbial, and no one who ever
knew him failed to recoguize the
. . . .
fact that he was in the highest
sense a young Christian gentlemen.

cloud hangs over us ; we feel bereft.

no blunders, andhurts the tender

for us to reflect upon, and it should
incite us to help our children to
cultivate that spirit of kindliness
which would just as readily speak
well of people as ill, if not to prefer
to do so. We might teach our

"Ou Lack of Conscience as a Means

ot Success.
j. nc ioiiowing closes an editorial
in the July Century with the above
title: "The fact is that there is
altogether too much reverence for
rascals, aud for mscally methods,
on the part of tolerably decent
people.
Rascality is picturesque, doubt
less, and in fiction it has even Us
moral uses; but in real lite it should
have no toleration; and it is, as a
matter ol fact, seldom accompanied
by the ability that it brags.
"Oue proof that the smart rogue
is not so smart as he thinks, and as
others think, is that he so often
comes to grief. He arrives at his
success through his knowledge of
the evil in meii; he comes to grief
through his ignorance of the good .
in men. He thinks he knows.
'human nature ' but he only half ;
knows it.
Therefore he is constantly, iu
danger of making a fatal mistake.
For instance, his excuse to himself
for lying and trickery is that lying
and trickery are indulged in by
others even by some men who
make a load boast of virtue before
the world.
A little more or less of lying and
trickery seems to make no differ

long as there is no public display
of lies and tricks, for he under
stands that there must always be a
certain outware propriety iu order
to insure even the inferior kind of
success he is aiming at. But, hav

him, he underrates the sensitive-

For supper and bed, or starve in the

And the sleepers noed neither victuals

Longer Ragged. Some
one asked the editor of the London
Punch why ragged people never
go to church, and replied, "Because
when people go to church they soon
cease to be ragged." There is a
world of truth in that explanation,
The hungry , creatures tbat have
to be fed and clothed by the hand
of charity rarely belong to any
ry and ragged men who would soon
be able to leed and ciotne tnem-
selves it they were orougnc unoer
