I THE DEATH PENALTY.
i Some months ago we presented
some arguments in favor of capital
punishment. We have recently
been reqaea.ted by a valued sub -
acriber to presentsome thoughts on
the other side of the question. This

j These are motives, not reasons.
1 When we appeal to reason, there is
a failnre in sustaining the practice.
Regarding all human endeavor as
fallible, it is not wise to do that
which cannot be undone. True,
when we subject to a loss of
freedom we take part of hts life
which cannot be restored ; but if
this has been doneuDjustly we can
in a measure recompense the loss,
This is not the case when the nn
fortunate is deprived of life. Be-1
even while the miserable wretch is
counting the hoars that harries
him towards the fatal moment
there is hope of deliverance. The
discovery of the slightest incident
may cause a reasonable doubt of
his guilt and unbar his prison
doors. Bat the execution ends all.
A clear and direct revelation of
innocence may come, but it will
only bring additional sorrow to
bleeding hearts and discredit to tho
administration of justice.
Capital punishment is approved
by many good people because they
believe it is of divi&e appointment
and has the sanction of heaven.
They read in the sacred word of an
eye for an eye, and a tooth for a
tooth, and fail to realise that "in
this they abandon the gospel and
fall back upon the theology of the
Jews.
Slowly, but steadily we are being
influenced by oar common sense
and better feeling to a departure
from the old barbaric treatment of
the condemned. Time was when it
was considered a dishonor and a
defilement to go, for any cause, be
hind the iron bars of a common
prison. But thanks to tbe exam pie of
John Howard and Florence Night
ingaleendless thanks to the world's
Redeemer this is all changed.

All laws should have for their
object tbe reformation of man and
tbe elevation of society. Time was
when it was thought necessary to
give full significance to a hanging
that it should be public. The j udge
in condemning tbe man to death
solemnly fixed the day and hour,
and tbe pnblio was invited to wit

taxation, ine XAepuuiicans com
mitted themselves to a revision of
the tariff as fully as the Democrats
did. Can anybody doubt what was
understood by revlsior T It matters
not what party leaders designed,
the people were led to believe that
there would be a redaction, and
when Republican leaders assert
that they have kept their promise
this all. The worst feature of the
bill is its sectionalism. Governor
Vanoe, in his great speech at
Raleigh, brought this out in these
plain aad pointed words : "A few
days ago, in the Senate, the
sectionalism of the Republican
party was aptly illustrated. The
grain 'growers of the West Bpend
10,000,000 a year for binding twine
the tax 0n which is $2,000,000. A
Western Senator moved to put
binding twine on the free list. I
dapped my hands and said
'hurrah !' and I made a speech and
voted to take off the tax and relieve
tho Western farmers. In the South
we make 7,000,000 bales of cotton
every year, and It costs the farmers
3,000,000 per annum for cotton
bagging. I moved to put cotton
bagging on the free list. Every
unhang member ot the Republican
party, except one, opposed it. The
ink wasn't dry on the amendment
to exempt binding twine before
they were guilty of this mean
ness." But sectionalism looms up most
hideously in the lorce bill. True it
has not yet become a law, but it
passed the House and its passage
in the Senate was only defeated by
obstructive tactics on the part of
the Democrats.
To every candid mind it mast be
evident that it is the purpose of
the Republican party to prostrate
the South. She is shaking tbe
ashes of desolation from her, and
will soon appear "bright as tbe
sun, clear as the moon and terrible
as an army with banners." This
consummation they wish to pervert,
and will prevent unless the people
rise in their might and burl them
from power.
The Democratic party is at once
the potential agent for the defeat
of the Republicans and tho resto
ration of the Union in the spirit of
the fathers of the Republic.
The Democrats of North Carolina
are in line. If there have been
mnttenngs of discontent, they have
been lost in the thunders of ap
plause that have greeted the great
apostle of Democracy throughout
the State. At Ooldsboro, at
Raleigh, wherever he has been, the
watch-fires of liberty have been
rekindled, and victory written, in
characters ot living light, across
the skies.
We have yet a paragraph re
maining for this column. It is
an address to Alliance Democrats.
By virtue of your intelligence and
patriotism, no less than in your
numbers yon have a preponderating
influence in North Carolina. JN0
man doubts your virtue, no one can

victions of right. For some reason,
we know not what, Livingston, of
Georgia, and Polk, of North Caro
lina, have appointments to address
the people of North Carolina at
important places throughout the
State. Let nothing tempt you to
waver for a moment in your sup
port of the National Democracy
and the Democratic party of this
grand old commonwealth. Honor

people are cordially invited to hear

The Democrat says: "The best

Robert Hayden, of the Charlotte
Chronicle, who is paid for his ser
vices by the stockholders of that
paper $2,000 a year."

There is no greater fallacy than
that which assumes a necessary
antagonism between the different
vocations in life. One farmer may
come in competition w ith another
farmer, but there can be no com

farmer. They are mutually de

A Soldiers Home Purchased. j
Raleiob, Oot. 1. List July it was I
thought that arrangements for the pur- I
chase of a Bite for a Confederate soldiers j
home here were complete, but there ,
was some hitch. Today the grounds i
known as camp Russell, for years used
as a camp by regular troops, were i
purchased by Mr. W. C. Stronsch, of i
the executive committee of the Stales
Veteran Association. There are alreaoy
a number of buildings and the work of
preparation begins tomorrow. In a
week several veterans, who are now
being cared for here by the executive
committee, will be quartered in the
home and in a short time twenty-seven
soldiers, now in various poor houses,
will be put under its sheltering care.

I there tho matter has reHted. Why ih it
thurt 'i Why was not another meeting i f
tue stockholders called and the partial
ly matured plans developed uotii the
objects of the organization were ac
complished V Was it due to indilference
on the part of either stockholder or '
omcers'.- Or did the-leaders in the
movement become despondent because
they did not meet with as much en- j
couragement as they desired and ex
peeled V
The company was orgaiiiz-d to estab- 1
li-ih any kind of a manufacturing f n- 1
terprieo that the stockholder miht
decide upon, and it was hoped that fC0 j
Hhares would be taken and that a j
i jO.OuU cotton factory would be Htarted ,
with the money raised, hut ouiy one- ;
fourth tint uruouut waj rairfod. Should '
tiii j deter the good work ': Hec,ause wk ;
cannot realize the fiunion of our favo- (
rite pliua shall we therefore become
dioheartent-d and fail to graep Waal i
wiUiin our reach '- l-i it not tiit- purl of !
v. iadoua to make uae of w hat u e have
and let the small begitioinf; develop in-
to something grander '.'
Ve do not fael specially partial to a ;
cotton factory, though
we believe one
equipped with the
latest impiovod 1
machinei-y aud properly numatjed !
i would pay handsomely. Tlie l. oot
t0E factory recently established in
Kleigti is reported to bo shippiug larye
quantities of their products and to have
orders ahead for all they can manufac
ture. The success of the Molts at this
business is almost a household word in
North Carolina. From a small begin
ning they have worked upward until
'hey now own twelve cotton mills in
Alamance county and are now buildixiK
another factory with 5, 000 spindles at
Company Shops, and wherever there
" . . I
eiicuuiJi'nS repuiioi
come from them. j
But other kinds of factories could be
established with much less capital.
We believe 5,000 would put up a'
splendid knitting factory aud 10,000
would establish a furniture factory
that would add immensely to the pros
perity of the city, and ono point in its
favor is that it would give employment
to men, who ought to be the principal
money earners.
We now have two good canneries,
and we are proud of them, but hereto
fore our canners have devoted their
main nttention to oysters, and we
stronclv desire to see a lare factorv '
here to can our surplus fruits and j
vegetables, and the cost of such a fac- I
tory would be munh less than is gen
erally cupposed ami it would give em
ployment to a larger number of people
in proportion to the money invested
than most industries, besides creating
a new market right at home for the
products of our soil.

We may not at present be tble to e
tablish a cotton mill, tut we believe
that with tho work already done we
cr.n necure any other factory of which I
wo have spoken, Khali we iioL do it?
Not only the proprietors and employees
but all classes of our citizens, either .
directly or indirectly, will feel the ben- I
eOta flowing therefrom. Such enter
prises not only bring now residents to '
tho town but add mateiiilly to the
finances of those already here. 1 he
man whom they furnish wiih employ-,
ment is enabled thereby to purchase j
what he wants from the merchant, to
pay tho physician, lawyer, etc., when
their services are required: they in j
their turn w ill the i et.y be better ena
bled to procure wh it tr.ey disire. and
thus the benefits will paen fu.ni one to,
another. LctUB have author factory.
Mr. Spelling, the etcretaiypro tern. ;
of the co operative manufacturing com
pany, expresses his williugnebs, if he
is authorized to do to, to call aoother
meeting, aud in addition to announcing
it in the columns of the Jol knai. to
personally notify every number the
evening before the meeting and do all
in his power to induce every i-tock-holder
to bo present and l;iko an active
part.
We hope that it will bj couo. and mat
it will result in the speedy establish
ment of another good manufacturing
enterprise in New ' rno
We feel assured thnt, i.r.y of the fac- '
tories of which we have spoken would '
not only bo profitable to the owners but :
advantageous, as we have endeavored to I
show to all classes of our citizens.;
