This shows the effect of education. The iron mines at Chapel Hill are to be reopened and operated on an extensive scale by a syndi cate. the principal members of which are well known railway men Nine years ago these mines were opened, bat for some cause work was soon suspended, though the ore is of great purity and easily accessibly. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune says: In conversation with the Tribune cor respondent today more than two score Republican Represent at ives. many of them leading and inflaen tial men, openly and with apparent sincerity, declared that if the Sen ate shall adopt the Quay resolation there will be no revenue legislation ' tbU session These men mean what they say. Cabdinal Manning in deliv erfng an address on the late Cardinal Newman in London, said that "although it was too soon to measure fally the work of Newman, it was certain that no living man had so changed the religous thought of England. It was the inspiring genius of the traotaiian movement that was shaping the Charch of England into its present life. Bat for him rationalism would now reign supreme in the national religion Senatos Mobqan, of Alabama, points out very clearly and forcibly that while the negTO, both North and South, is excluded from the protected industries, and gets no benefit from the tariff, he has to bear the burdens which it imposes. On the articles which the Southern negro produces the tariff bill now before the Senate makes reductions, but it largely increases the selling prices of the hundred and one ar tides which he wears and con sames. He votes the Republican ticket, and taxes are given him in return by his Protectionist friends. Their hearts bleed for him, and they bleed his pocket. Norfolk Virginian. THANKFULNESS. There is always cause for thank fulness. The sunshine that comes to all is cause for thankfulness, and darkness that shuts ont business cares and invites to sleep makes us thankful. But we North Carolinians have especial cause for thankfulness. Where in all the world is there a land more blessed of heaven f Health revels in its mountain breezes and rejoices in its scfc 6ea air. Fruits and flowers spring spontan eously from its bosom, and fields of golden grain reward the husband man. We will enter the courts of the Lord with thanksgiving; we ill give thanks to the God of our salvation. Bnt there is yet greater cause of thankfulness; still higher reason for gratitude. Here in this old North State the mind has scope lor its loftiest thought, and the soul rises on exultant wing to its native heaven. When we consider the intellectual and moral darkness that envelops many portions of our planet, how should our bosoms well with gratitude in that the lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places and ours is a goodly heri tage ! Thankfulness and gratitude are best attested by works of benefi cence. It is right on all proper occasions to express oar gratitude ia words and lift up our hearts in thankful song ; bat it is better still to let oar deeds express emotions no language can nortrav. To act the heart and lire the aoui aml4 "the war of elements," ia to en noble the world by living in it, and make bright the path to heaven. DEMOCRACY AND LIANCE. Wc are receiving letters inquiring which course we propose to pursue in regard to the Farmers' Alliance movement which has become snch a prominent feature in the politics of the country. There can be no uncertainty as to the attitude of a national Democratic newspaper in this matter. We sympathize with the legitimate aims and purposes of the farmers' movement, and shall do all in our power to aid in securing the benefits of which the agricultural element in our popula tion stands in such great need. In these aims we cannot, of course, include the sub treasury or ware house scheme, which the great leaders of the party in Congress have so fully discussed in our columns. That is an undemocratic and impracticable plan, calculated to do the farmers infinite injury if it could be carried out. So far as the Farmers' Alliance connects itself with the choice of candidates for public office we are in favor of it when it undertakes to support Democratic candidates and Demo cratic principles, and opposed to it when it takes ground against them. And if it shall appear that selfish and unscrupulous men having no sympathy with the Democratic party and in reality bitterly op posed to it have obtained influential offices in the Alliance organizations and are seeking to destroy our organization and prevent us from obtaining control of the Govern ment, we shall not hesitate to ex pose their character and conduct, and to do all in our power to pre vent them from carrying out their evil schemes. National Democrat. The Democrat states very clearly the position of the National De mocracy. But let it not be forgotten that a majority of the Alliance men in the South are as good Democrats as ever swore by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. They do not desire the passage of any unconstitutional measure. They want legislation that will benefit them, and they want it badly, but they do not want any violation of the fundamental law of the land. The men wbo drew op the sub treasury bill were not accustomed to such work, and the Alliance men, of the South at least, will insist that it be perfected, or some thing else be substituted for it. The fa tiers of the country are honest men who have too long borne unjust hardens, and it is right for them to assert their rights and vigorously maintain them, These rights oan be best secured through the Democratic party, and nine-tenths of the Alliance men know it and appreciate the sitna tion. A DRAMATIC SCENE1NTBE SENATE. Yanee Rather Paxxles the Gentleman From Rhode Island. In the Baltimore Sun we find the following article which we produce : "Mr. John R. Morris, of Balti more, formerly of Golds boro, N. C, in a letter published in the Wil mington (N. O.) Messenger, thus describes a recent scene in the United States Senate during the discussion of the glass schedule "You know that Senator Aldrich, of Bhode Island, had charge of the tariff bill. The glass schedule had been reached. Vance asked Aldrich why common window glass, the glass of the poor man's house, was made dutiable at one hundred and fifteen per cent., while fine, polished plate glass, the glass of the rich man's mansion, was to sustain m doty of bat fifteen per cent. Aid rich tamed his eyes from Vance, smiled the smile ot one discon certed, and walked in the direction of Qaay's desk. Vance receiving no answer resumed his seat. In- galls had vacated the chair, and called Piatt to preside. In a few moments Vance arose and stood awaiting recognition from Piatt. While he stood be seemingly grew taller. Quickly raising his hand he threw a great mass of iron grev hair from his forehead and exposed a brow red with the blood of erne tion. He did not turn his eye toward the gallery he seldom does. But all eyes in gallery and Senate were fixed on Vance. 'The Senator from North Carolina,' said Piatt, as he lightly touched the desk with his gavel and inclined his head deferentially toward the majestic figure of the great South ern statesman. 'Mr. President,' cried Vance, in a shrill, tremulous key of which I did not know his voice capable, 'I want it to go abroad to all the American people that I have asked the Senator from Rhode Island why the glass of the poor man is taxed 115 per cent, and the glass of the rich man bnt 15 per cent., and that I have re ceived no answer.' Raising his voice still higher he almost shrieked the refrain of bis own words, 'Yes, want the American people to know that I have received no answer.' Vance was unconscioosly dramatic. The effect was to bring a deep hush over the Senate cham ber. The Republicans could not say anything without admitting too much. They bad to refrain from admitting ihe truth that they were paying for Harrison's election, and owed much to the makers of com mon glass in America, but were indifferent to the makers of fine plate glass ia France. The Re publicans did not soon recover from the question and the terrible manner in which Vance bad hurled at Aldrich. John Sherman fingered his stubby beard, Judge Edmunds, who affects indifference to everything and everybody by apparent absorption in some book, peeped over the top of his constant volume. Quay, the stolid dude. hook the lappel oi his grayish flannel neglige coat. Allison rolled hiS eyes toward the upper frescoes, while Frank Hiscock, on whose shoulders rests Conklin's mantle of vanity, with several additional breadths, looked hopelessly toward his colleague, poor old dried up Evarts, who himself sank farther into the physical nothingness of an unsexed witch." To be worth anything character must be capable of standing firmly on Its feet in the world or daily work, temptation and trial and to Lear the wear and tear of actual lite. CloUtered virtues do Dot count for much. When a man is going down-hill be finds the attraction of gravi tation and the encouragements of the public a great help to him. Jones County Items. lleuiarkiibly healthy with us for 25th of August. Farmers aio tieui ly done saving j their fodder crop. Trade at Treutou on Saturday! last was really brisk. j Eggs are much inquired lui at Trenton and in demand. The scarcity of corn haa caused I mauy farmers to start on the new , crop. I M. 1'enrsHll, Kq , returned home from Morganton Saturday last. Sweet potatoes, if thrifty looking vines are aDy indication, will be a successful crop. The hog crop is very plentiful with us, and we hear of no cases of cholera among them. Wc learn that Trenton High School is booming, with new acces sions of pupils every day. Many of our farmers have ordered seed and will sow a considerable quantity of crimson clover this fall. Died at the home of her son in law, Mr. John Griffin, in Heaver creek township, Mrs. Ebztbeth Gooding. The town authorities ot Trenton are preparing the sidewalks and openiDg little ditches to carry oft the water. Mr. and Mrs. Ivy Andrews had the misfortune to lose their little baby boy a few da a ago, aged about two j ears. We ire under the impression that the farmers in Jones couuty have saved more good fodder this season than usual. We learn that J. 15. Banks has commenced deking cotton today in earnest, and will pick several bales during the present week. Thos. Castett, of Trenton town ship, brought in the first seed cotton to Trenton. Jas. 1). Herri tage was the purchaser at 2 -3 per cwt. We learn that our county treas arer, D. II. Harrison, will shortly move his family to Trenton so that his children can attend a good school. All who are delegates to the Democratic congressional conven tion must recollect that it will be held at Kinston on the third day of September next. The farmers say that the damage to the cotton crop, from some cause, is severe. J. Ii. Banks says that there will bo no August crop, that cotton is opening too fast. Many of the farmers say that the short age will reach 25 cent. Where is there an office that can say that there is not a Republican paper that is taken by any one, white or colored! Trenton post office has no Republican papers, but a large number of Republicans of both colors subscribe to and read Democratic papers Mr. E. B. Isler, a very prominent farmer of Beaver creek township who has been a sufferer for a long time, died at bis home on the 12th of August, aged C9 years. Mr. Isler leaves a widow, two grown children and several grandchildren to nourn his loss. We think that Congressman Cheatham will have an up hill business mending his political fences in Jones county this year, as it appears that nearly every one of his faithful supporters say that they would really like to see some one point out one single thing that he has done for them during hh tarrn in Congress. The Jones county couvention will assemble at Trenton September 20th, to nominate a Democratic candidate to represent us in the next Legislature ; also candidates for the several offices of the coun ty. The primaries will be held Saturday, September 13th, at 3 o'clock p. m. We trust the com mittee will thoroughly advertise these meetings, and urge every Democrat to attend these pri maries and select such delegates as will represent their wishes in the county convention. Don't stay at home and lot others choose for you, but let every Democrat be there at least oue hour before the time, sit and consult together for the best interests of your county FAR.Y1KRS' ALLIANCE. ACTION OF THE GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION-TIIE PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL ALLIANCE ADOFTED. ATLANTA, Ga., August 21. The Georgia State Alliance finished its labors to day and adjourned. The most important action was the unanimous passage of a resolu tion endorsing the platform of the National Alliance adopted at the St. Louis convention. This carries with it, of course, unanimous en dorsement of the treasury plan. which is one of the principle planks of that platform, as is the government ownership of transpor tation lines. Cotton bagging was adopted as the Alliance covering of cotton, as against jute. This is carrying out the fight on jute made last year, which was so successful. The eligibility clause was made identical with that of the National Alliance, providing that no one shall be admitted to membershirj in ihe order unless he be a farmer, laborer, mechanic, country school teacher, country preacher, country editor, or editor of a strictly Agri cultural journal. The convention was largely at tended. Doctors Mend n Broker Neck. Philadelphia, August 20. Physicians connected with the Presbyterian Hospital are highly elated over the fact of their having succesfully mended a broken neck. The patient, liarry Keigel, aged 14 years, residing at No. 511 North First street, fell from an elevator, landing on his head and disloca ting his neck on May 8. WThen brought to the hospital the case was considered hopeless, but by experiments with extending weight attached to the patient's head and feet the neck was eventually set aDd kept in place by means of a plaster of Paris jacket, which, after a month's time, was removed, with the result that the displaced bones were properly set, and the patient now has full power at the neck. The cas is looken upon as a wonder fnl piece of surgical work. AUTOMATIC SEWING MACHINE! Prices reduced. Every family now can have the best Automatic Sewing Ma chine in the market at reduced price.

THREE MEN KILLED AND THREE WOISDED. Result ofn Train's Wild Buu Down a mountain Side. Denver, Col, August 22. Three men were killed and three seriously wounded by the running wild oi a stone train in the vicinity of Lyons, Col., this morning. The train was on a down grade, and without apparent reason the engi neer found he had lost control of the engine, whereupon the whole train started on a wild run down the mountain side. When the ingineer found he could not control his engine he jumped and was killed. The lire man then climbed back over the tender and attempted to uncouple the engine, but was unsuccessful aDd sustained serious injuries in jumping from the train. Companion and A 1 vertUiiiK. 'Can't afford it; no, sir; can't afford exclaimed a retail merchant one day this week when approached by an advertising solicitor who wished to sell him space in some medium or other. "It's all I can do now to meet the competition in my business and keep my expenses down. What with high rentf, high priced lielp, high Heights, high taxes and high prices for advertis ing, I must cut somewhere, and I cut the advertising." It was none of our i-ff.iir, and we therefore offered no comment on what seemed to us to be the illogical not to say absurd, position taken by this merchant. However, he echoed the senti ment of a number ot men in com mercial life, which number, we are pleased to say, is diminishing with great rapidity. Not advertise because competition is too strong! W hen, then, in the name of com mon sense and good business policy, ought a man to advertise? It is precisely because competition has become so great in all trades that every enterprising business house, every house that expects to hold its own, must advertise. Competitors are so numerous, and town3 are beoming so big, and facilities for reaching other towns still bigger are so easy of access, that the man who doesn't keep his name before the public not only cannot gaiu new business, but im perils the business he has. It is competition, ind2ed,that hasdevel oped the new and extensive meth ods ot advertising that now pre vail. The Northwest Trade. Oh, look not at thy pain or sor row, how great soever; but look from them, look beyond them, to the deliverer! whose power is over them, and whose loving, wise, and tender spirit is able to do thee good by them. The Lord lead thee, day by day, in the right way, ana keep thy mind upon Him, in what ever befalls thee: that the beliet of His love aad hope in His mercy, when thou art at the lowest ebb, may keep up thy head above the billows. THE W. c. T. V. ANDTHE SALVATIONISTS. A Movement oil Foot lor .Ininlns- Tlielr Forces. Chicago, August 2u. There is a movement on foot for join ing together the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Salvation Armv. At least that is what Frances Willard, the Veteran President of the Woman's Christian Tem perance Union, said in a meeting of Salvation soldiers last night. Miss Willard did not go into particulars. She merely gave an outline of what she hoped to see before another year rolled by. She had always been an admirer of the grand old Salva tion Army ever since it landed in America and began its crusade against whisky and the slums. During the day she had had a long interview with Mrs. Balhngton Booth, which tended towards a union of the Salvation Army Sisters with those of the Woman's Christian Temperance Cnion, and she hoped that at the next national convention the Army would be represented -ana tnat Mrs. Ba ino-tnn Booth would be the first delegate chosen. No f niiforonct on Quay's Resolution. ! Washington, D. C, Aug, 21. The postponement of' the consideration of the Quay reso jlution, this morning in the j Senate was the result of a con ! l'erence last night between the loaders of the Republican partv, Senator Quay and Senator Edmunds being present. It was 1 determined, as one of the Sena tors present at the conference (expressed it this morning that I it would be better for the Republicans to wash their 'dirty linen behind Republican doors and not in the presence of the Democrats. Accordingly it was resolved to call anotheV conference to be held to night at which it will be proposed to lay aside the election bill for the present that is during this session of Congress but to take no formal action in the Senate to that end; to notify the Dem ocrats that this action has been taken and ask them to fix a day for taking a vote on the tariff bill and for adjournment : to agree to take up the election bill next December and to take such action at that time as may seem feasible to get a vote on it at an early day. Mr. Quay and Mr. Edmunds both agree to his proposition aad the chances are that it will be adopted. FARMERS' ALLIANCE. Washington, August 20. A special to the Tost from Leesburg, Va., says that Eepreseptative W. H. F. Lee was today renominated for Congress by the Democrats of the Eighth Virginia District.

C, August 20. A meeting of the trustees of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col ege was held here today, at which it was stated that the Department of Auriculture will pay to the col lege only $20,000 during the re mainder ofthia year. Ic is proposed by the trustees to carry on the college until tho Legislature meets, even if it becomes necessary to reduce the salaries of the professors All of the latter assent to a reduc tion. The college needs &8j500 to carry it until the new year. How the French View It According to the English notion of justice a lady who lately fired at her faithless husband, aud was pre vented from killing him only by the interposition of a simple button, which stopped the bullet, was guil ty of conduct which deserved punishment. A French magistrate, however, has only fined a delin quent of this kind 1, lemaiking, at the same time, that she was well deserving of sj m pat by, and refrain ing from cautioning her against the inadvi8abihty of taking the law into her own hands. Certainly the wile told a pitilul tale. Her hus band is a comparatively wealthy man, but ho turned her and her daughter ont of doors, refused to contribute to her support, and al lowed certain female friends of his to send them some common dry bread as an eleemosynary dole of the satirical order. A climax, how ever, was reached, from the French point of view, when he ailowed himself to be subjugated complete ly, as his wife stated in court, by a Prussian. Perhaps this statement made a deep impression on the worthy magistrate, who is probably a patriot, and he was hereby in duced to go out of his way in order to express sympathy for one who was defrauded of her conjugal rights by a Teutonic rival. Lon don Telegraph. i only Naval Warfare. The figures given for the cost of using the great ordinance led to a calculation that the Benbow, which carries two 110 ton guns and other smaller arms, would in two ordinary engagements use up guns and ammunition to the value of 8050,000. A modern naval engagement on the scale which more than one nation is reaay to engage in would cost many millions.

London is to have a tower higher than the one at the Paris exposi tion that attracted somuchatten tion and to rival which has been one of the ambitions of Americans who are especially interested in the Columbian exposition. The London tower, which is to be erected by the Watkin Tower Company a mile or two north o St. John's Wood, is to be 1200 feet in height, and to be constructed of steel. Four lifts and two staircases are provided, eituatedin the legs of the tower, which rise to the prin cipal stage at a height of 200 feet above the gronnd. nere the de signers have provided for the benefit of visitors a large area consisting of a great central hall, which under able management would prove one of the special at tractions of the tower. The hall would be of an octagonal form, 20, 000 feet area and sixty feet high, the spaces between the eight legs of the tower at the angles of the octagon forming eight recesses for restaurants, management rooms, etc. Over the recesses, and clas tered round the central hall, the authors suggest the construction of a hotel, of ninety bed rooms, with all necessary baths and other accommodation. As the special features which the hotel could offer would be the advantages ol pure air, sun ngnc anu open pros pects, the whole of the bed rooms have been placed on the external face of the tower. The resturants on the main platform would provide dining accommodatiou, one being especially set apart for the use ol resident, and tho kitchens would be arranged on the mezzanines over the serving rooms attached to the restaurants. Chicago Fews. A Good Hit. Many readers may remember the exciting controversy which arose, in 1845, between the government oi the United States and Great Britain, concerning the boundary line between Oregon and the Brit ish territory. This country claimed up to 54 40 north latitude, while England would draw the line at 42. The cry of the hot headed ones at Washington was : "Fifty-four-forty, or fight!'' Wise coun sels, however, at length prevailed. The British government, in 1846, proposed the parallel of 49, which was finally accepted. While the controversy was yet warm, the British minister, Mr. Packenham, was one day walking up to tne capitol, and not far behind him was a member of Con gress from the 'W est, m ho, though a gentleman and a most genial companion, was one of the belli cose members. With him it was "fifty-four-forty, or fight !'' and nothing else. v hen near the capital, a drunken man interrupted the minister, and accosted him : "Say, old fellow, ou are that British Packenham, ain't you ! Yes I know you be. Nov look here, my old stump, just you bear in mind that you don't get one inch of territory below fifty four forty. It's fight every time beyond that !'' The Western Congressman came un, and Lodd-.'d pl.is.ia'ly to the minimi r. "You will excuse that ma;;," he said, "lie is diunk.'' "Certainly,'' returned Mr. Pajk enham, also pleasantly nodding. "No sober man would make such a declaration as that." Selected. Pollcksville Items. .Mr. Charles Whitty left Friday for Baltimore and New York, for the purpose of purchase his fall goods. Mrs. Dr. E.

The long session of Congress and the hot weather havo thinned ont the ranks of members of Congress in Washington, so that the disposal of certain measures of very great importance to tha business inter ests ot the country is delayed, and the wheels of industry are held in suspense until it is known how they will be decided. Whatever differences of opinion exist regarding certain measures, members of Congress owe it to themselves and the country, to have them decided one way or the other. There are two bills, how ever, the passage of which .vould do much to insure the business prosperity of the country, viz , the Tonnage bill and the Tariff bill. The Tariff bill affects every branch of trade. Manufacturers are unable to make their contracts for supplies, many of which are drawn from distant points and even foreign countries. They are in the dark as to what markets they will be able to count on for their pro ducts. Importers are rushing in and piling up supplies of goods which they think are likely to be affected" by the tariff. Money mar kets are thus deranged and capital diverted from customary channels, to the great detriment of legiti mate industry. American shipping interests have been hanging by the eyelids for some time, waiting for the favorable action of Congress, which seemed assured to place ns upon an equality with the shipping of other nations. The Tonnage bill has passed the Senate and is now pending in the House, It is to be hoped absent members of Congress will return long enough to pass the above mentioned measures. American Grocer.

The Battle of New Orleans. sv The eighth of January has bMi justly termed "Jackson's Day,' as on ma; aay, in tne year 1815, the great victory was gained by the " Americans under the command of "t)ld Jiiokory" in the battle of Hew Orleans. The battle was fbogbt between the British, under General PackeDham, a brother in-law of Wellington, and the Americans, under General Jackson. The former were making an advance on the city. The American troops were intrenched, and poured a scathing fire upon the unprotected British as tbey pressed on bravely in an assault of the works. Whole platoons were swept away, and General Packenham fell, mortally wounded. After this tbe lines broke into cod fusion and fled, losing in dead, wounded, and pris oners, 2 G00 men. The American loss was only eight killed and thirteen wounded, a per cent, of loss almost unprecedented in the history of war. NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS.
