LKTTER.S from North Carolina declare that the Republican party is dead beyond hope of resurrec tion and that the Force bill killed It. Tbre is plenty of evidence that a large number of negroes roted the Democratic ticket last month. The Democratic party is not likely to suffer any permanent injury from the farmer's move ment. The great State is peaceful and prosperous. So is the whole South. National Democrat. Tub first snow of the season fell jere Monday night. There was not much of it but it was the gen uine article and gave some idea of how the Republicans felt when they were snowed under in Novem ber. Poor fellows! just to think bow warm and comfortable they have been, and what they are now. Snowed under in the nation, snow ed under in the State, and snowed under in Craven county. Gosh ! Tils Washington Star Bays: Republican Senators who favor the election bill are not much dis turbed over the fact that the Farmers' Alliance has condemned tho measure. They say it was ootbing more than they expected from "an organization composed almost exclusively of Southern anti-administrationist8,"and which they term "the Democratic annex." It is evident that the majority in the Senate propose to pass the bill as soon as possible. The Manufacturers' Re cord, of December G:h, presents some interesting facts. It save: Allowing to each of the Southern States a density of population equivalent to that existing in Pennsylvania, would give to the South nearly one and one half as many people as there are now in the entire United 8tares, or about 83.000,000, and of this number North Carolina would have 5.780 250 people. OX Wednesday last Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, in a speech opposing the passage of the Force bill states facts which show that the northern people are in no way different from the southern people when it comes to electing proper persons to fill the State and Federal offices and govern the country. In neither section are the negroe's allowed the supremacy, inere are exceptions to this rule in the South, but none 1 in tne .ortn, wnere nnnareus 01 thousands of negroes are treated j i with supreme contempt THE FORCE BILL The Republican majority iu the j Senate seem intent on tho passage of the Force bill, but there are 1 cold wave ot Jan. li, serious obstacles in the way.

These Senators may he induced by caucus to vote for the bill when put upon it.s passage, but they cd consent to delay and allow the; Democrats to defeat the bill by dilatory tactics. Since Congress has been in ses sion the National Alliance has met at Ocala, Fla., and unanimously passed a resolution condemning the Force bill. The Alliance is in the majority in several of the Western States, and Senators from those States will hesitate, and may re fuse to vote for the bill. The Democratic Senators are doing their full duty to the conn- try. The debate on their side was opened in a very able speech by 1 Senator Turnie, of Indiana, fol-1 lowed bv a stronz argument bv Senator Fogb, ol Alabama; but,"aDcei i the eyes of the people are just now turned to Senator Vest,of Missouri, i . V. l . u wno proposes to cuecn.-mni.t3 iuo Republicans bv offering a bill for the free coinage of silver as a subeti- tute for the Force bill. There are a number of Western Senators who will gladly join the Democrats in defeating the Force bill, if by so doing they can secure their chief object, the free coinage of silver. "So it may be that hile the Senate has, perhaps more in a spirit of oravado than anything else, made haste to call up this most obnoxious measure, its pas sage is still by no means an ac complished fact. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. We do not profess to be seers, but, without claiming superior in telligence, we may survey the po litical heavens and learn their portends. In whatever way we turn our eyes we see intellectual skies brightening. The demand lor education is well nigh universal. In localities where schools and colleges have been established higher standers are being erected in response to the requirement for broader culture and greater scholas tic attainments. While this is gratifying, our hearts thrill with pleasure as we behold North Caro lina dotting the plain, the moun tain and the valley with substantial public school buildings in which the children of the people will not only be taught "rudiments of edu cation," but from which they can aik into dowery fields of litera- aad up the steep ascent of More time must be given to public schools, and greater ef ficiency must be required of public school teachers if North Carolina is 10 take the place in the column of progress to which nature and nature's God entitle her. The era of intellectual illumination has dawned and we ereet its morn with joyous acclamations. Our God has been propitious to His people. The early and the latter rain has come in its seasoD, and tho land bas brought forth abundantly. We have enough and to spare. The new year will smile on the product of the old, and, accepting as a new year's present the sarplus of its revenue, make it contibute to personal, social and national happiness. But what are the political signs of the times! Where now floats our gallant ship of State ! Republican governments are subject to sudden and radical changes. Public opinion is easily influenced. Today is ap plauded i tomorrow it condemns The signs of the times are pro pitious, not so much because the Democratic party has triumphed as on account of the causes that led to that iricrmph, A political party ijvd dared to attempt a revolution in its own interests. Its leaders had become usurpers, and high officials of the government were playing the tyrant. The spirit of patriotism was aroused, and the people rose in their majesty and crushed the tyrants as they broke their chains. It is fortunate for the country that it was the Republicans that attempted the role of revolution ists, and that throngh their failure the Democratic party has secured ascendency in the nation. It is for the Democracy to determine the future of the country. If their course, in the present and succeed ing Congress, is marked by mode ration and wisdom, 1892 will wit nesa the election ol a Democratic President. A story is told of an advertiser who presented himself at the New York Herald counter with a three thousand dollar roll as an offer for a half column advertisement with a good sized cut accompanying it. The "ad" waa refused without eyen consulting Mr. nowland. There is a standing rule in the Herald office to never insert cuts Exchange. Cold Wares. A cold wave is defined by Prof. T. Russell as a fall of temperature 1Q tweniy-iour nuuru ui o uegiceB over an area of 50,000 square miles, the temperature in some part of this - . r 1 C or. .1 .. area descending to do degrees. Between 1880 and 1890 no less than CTI t0 waves were recorded in the United States. In the great the ten vaars the area of the fall of I 20 degrees was more than a million square miles.

The, federal elee.Lion bill was then tabon n n an.! AT r 111011 m..le ft i oxxg argument against It. Mr. Pugh said that the bill was founded on tho proposition, that state officers might be guard ed and overruled, because they were Democrats, and because for that reason it was unsafe to trust them. Under it the whole election machinery of the United States would become partis in and neces sarily corrupt. The whole conception of the bill was a transparent and audacious scheme, having no other end or purpose than the capture of Demo cratic districts, and their transfer to the Republican party in Con gress to be used in perpetuating its supremacy in defiance of the will of the people. He declared that the intelligent white people of the South, would prefer the rule of army officers and white soldiers, to the intolerable rule of the infamous horde that would be turned loose upon them, through the outrageous election machinery provided in the bill. In his responsibility as a man and as a Senator, he expressed his conviction that there was not a state in the South in which, as a rule, it was not the honest and earnest desire to have fair and free elections for members of congress and for presidential electors. He undertook to say that the black people of the South were better treated then they would be In the North under like conditions; and hedeclaracd, in conclusion, that mo wioooi, uuu oaicsb wu.so iui win laues, wiLu iruai iu i"CT0area 0f a Ave years' case policy oi uou in tenerenee uy lue federal government.

The inaguration was held in the open air in front of the capitol on a huge platform, in the the presence of 5.000 people, mostly farmers. In his augural address, Gov. Tillman claims the triumph of "True Democracy over mongrel ism and anarchy" to be complete. He says the negroes are becoming Democrats. He advocates a better free school sstem, and urges the abolishement of the state univer sity, and the establishment of industrial schools for women. He demands a new constitution and a survey of the state phosphate oeds by a United atates engineer or other competent men. THE FEDERAL ELECTION DILL. A Republican Senator lay It 'Will Certainly be Fined. Washington, D. C, December 3. The decisive action of the Sen ate today in taking up the Federal election bill for consideration by an unbroken party vote, lends a strong color of probability to the statement made by the friends of the bill that it will be passed. Still more significant is the statement made to the United Press by a Republican Senator who was strongly opposed to the election bill three months ago, and who was reckoned among those who would bolt the Republican eaucus on a proposition to change the Senate rules and establish the pre vious question. 4,I think the bill will pass," he said to day "The two new Senators from Wyoming, added to the two from Idaho, will give the friends of the Republican side to change the rules and push the bill, and when it is evident that the bill can be passed very few Republicans will stand out against caucus action." T-vo Children Bnrned to Death. Waynesville, N, O., Dec. 3.

The Canadian annual canal statistics, just published, show that the greater portion of the traffic that passed through the Welland Canal last year was bound from one United States port to another. The quantity of grain passing down the Welland Canal from one American port to another increased from 47,000 tons in 1880 to 213,000 tons in 1889. whereas, notwith- standing the abolition of tolls upon east-bound Canadian canals, the quantity of grain that reached Mod treal by way of the canals last year was 267,769 tons, as compared with 333.S0G tons in 1880 Children Cry for Pitcher's Castoria NEWS 1 K0M ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Editor Journal : I noticed in Friday morning's Journal that the pupils of the Collegiate Insti tute are practicing tbe subject of ''Mensuration,' which is one of the most important studies that scholar can pursue. Even a farmer cannot well sow a field with grain unless he can tell the number of acres in the field. I would like to give a problem to tbe pupils of tbe said Institute through your paper, if ycu deem it worthy to do so The problem is to fence a tract of land with a rail fence, the fence to be seven Tails high and two panels to tbe rod, and the fence to have as many rails on it as there are acre3 in tbe field, the number of rails and acres having to corres pond. Very respectfully, Inquirer. Would be clad to get a skort statement on the subject. Ed. A Postmistress Arrested. WeLdon, Dec. i Cura E.

"OX THE ALLIANCE PLATFORM." Editor Journal : It is relat ed of a certain individual, whose name was McGinnis, resident in Florida in its earlier days, that he was possessed of the habit of fight ing on every public occasion; and that, retiring one day from a com bat badly bruised and bloody, he sought the kindly aid of an old colored bystander, who, as he pour ed the water, pitied the safferer. This expression of sympathy, it is said, so touched the heart of Mc Ginnis, that pausing half washed and looking with tearful eye he re marked iu tones self laudatory and yet subdued, "Uncle Peter, I can fight like h 11 ; but I never whip anything." By the recent defeat in the 9th district of the self styled candidate for Senator on the Alli ance platform," who having sought office without success threugh a period of nearly thirty years has again gloriously refueed to break a persistent record of failure, I am . reminded of the story of poor Mc (jinnis Your daily issue of October 30th LVuiBiucu u UUUIUiUUIUdllUU n I i Lieu b F D Koonce f Richland ,ate j and left ucandidate for genator on th AUianoe piatform," sufficiently ! personal in its reference to me to ;Jify, with your permission, this notice at my hands. .

A . 1 U 1 OAA Koonce has no connection with Richlands Alliance, No. 1977, and cannot have by reason of bis pro fession of the law ; that we have no confidence in him, or in his pro fession of love for our Order; but that, on the contrary, from our in timate knowledge of his past po litical life and of bis personal character, we consider him a shrewd misleader of the unwary for his personal gain. Resolved, That this preamble and resolutions be sent to the New Berne Journal lor publication. Unanimously adopted." F. W. Habget, President Richlands Alliance. October 25th, 1890. It will be observed that the action of the Alliance in Mr. Koonce's own village, taken at a regular meeting, at which, furthermore, this writer was not present, was unani- mous and was officially signed by its president. So deeply did Mr. Koonce feel the sting of this con demnation and its power to unde ceive men and to damage his candi dacy "for Senator on the Alliance platform," that he bestirred him sell for the immediate refutation both of the facts of my card and ol the deliberate estimate put upon him by the Alliance at his own door. The impossibility of rejoin der prior to the election he con sidered favorable to his purpose. The very character of Mr. Koonce's reply is such as. to justify, upon examination, the estimate expressed in the above resolution, "a shrewd misleader of the un wary for his own personal gain." This reply is in the form of cer titicates of his own drawing, one of which reads as follows : To the Alliance in Carteret County and others : We have been infoimed that some evil minded persons are busy ;n making and circulating slander ous reports against Frank D Koonce, E;q., the candidate for Senator in this district on the Al liance platform. We have known Mr. Koonce personally or by repu tatiou for many years, and we have no hesitation in saying that these reports are false and slanderous And we further say that Mr Koonce has been a devoted friend to the Alliance from the time when he joined our order, and he has proved himself to be an earnest and faithful worker in behalf of our organization and he has our ful confidence, having pledged himself to stand by the Alliance, its objects and its principles, and to support its demands by every proper means in his power. Let us examine this certificate "some evil minded persons are busy in making and circulating slanderous reports against Trank D. Koonce, Esq.;" and again, "we have no hesitation in saying that these reports are false and slander ous." Is there anything slanderous in my card T Certainly there is nothing in it derogatory to the honor of any man ot whom it may be said. Nor are its statements in the natnre of reports. Is the action of Richlands Alliance a "report?" Is theresolution slanderous? Being the expression oi their honest opinion by a body of men, it might be declared slanderous, if it were not slanderoo", hut no man can declare it false. What reports do these assertions refer to and deny ? Do you know ? Did the signers of that certificate know T The eerti ficate thus far, if it were possible for it to be true in its sweeping denial of unnamed charges, would successfully defend its holder against every charge, provided only it were Blanderous, and establish him in the face of high heaven immaculate in all his belongings. The certificate thus far refutes cer tain "slanderous reports" which neither you nor I ever heard. It does not touch my card or the resolution. To the careless reader, however, it may have seemed a de nial of both. So it was fraudulent ly intended by its author that you should take it; for it had pleased him to characterize these as as the charges to which he was replying. The certificate further says "that Mr. Koonce has been a devoted friend to the Alliance from the time he joined our order;" again, in another certificate, it is declared "that Mr. Koonce joined the Al liance more than three years ago." Commendable candor in their writer would have made these cer tificates declare also his withdrawal from our order, a fact no less true than that "he joined." Tbe pur pose, however, of the certificates 1 (I do not Bay of the signers) was to state only such fa ts as would seem to contradict and so to mis lead. In the same spirit the cer tifioate reads "having pledged him self to support its dmaudn," a if that phraseology was t-q-.iivaleni to signing the demands of the Al liance. Waa there au attempt to "mis lead the unwirv'' in the i-electiou of signers of the--e orrtticates ! Why did Mr. K'lonci prefer the signatures of presidents aijd pcre taries of Alliances! Bt cause he could thus mislead men, ;is many were misled, into believing that these officers signed lur tliir Al liances: while, iu truth, the- sieued only as indiuiduals SO ar KS IS ! ouumu u iiiiii it-pi, uui a single Alliance anynhtre declared in favor of Mr Koonce or expressed confidence in him. He presented in his reply only individual ex pressions, and the signntuies, save those obtained in Jones county, caruo from a very limited area in Onslow. From four Alliances in hia rkarn fnarnthin uiwl firm -1.t..i fourths of the county hesuies, no man teatifies in his behalf. And even the xirnatnt that. I. a secured were not alwas honestly J obtained. For instance, Js W7alton, whose name appears as vice president of Hoover's Creek Alliance, tells me in the presence of creditable witnesses, that he signed for Mr. Koonce, as he under stood it, not the certificate to which his name appears, but one refuting ! I ' -"O I charges simply -'that Mr. Koonce t!bad never been a member ot thei1' J-"u.sday the 4;h inst. Pro ! finance, ne uau never maue a ' speech for the Alliance, and th.it ue uau neei uuue an wort in us behalf." If one name was obtained by misrepresentation, it is not without strong suspicion that others were also. Let us lo-;k at the signatures a .little further. Om ot an Alliance of some sixty male members at I Mr. Koonce's own home, he secures on thorough search in dire need the names of only five men to say that they have confidence iu him ! Who are they? 1. B. S. Koonce, his brother ; 2. H. B. Koonce, his son ; 3. J. E. Rhodes; 4 J.Taylor, a new comer into this county, who was stung by an erratic political bee which well nigh maddeued him to offer himself for independent senatorial honors ; and 5: W. n. Farrior, a worthy young tenant, whose confidence was not deep enough to cause him to vote for his landlord. Here opens a fertile field lor comment which I lease for the reader's cultivation. To repute point blank my state ment that Mr. Koonce had not signed tbe Alliance demands, he presented in his reply the follow ing certificate : To whom it may concern : This will show that Frank D. Koonce, Esq., candidate for Senator in the Ulh senatorial district has signed the Alliance demands. In testimony whereof I have set my band to this certificate. Jas. B. Stanly, Secretary Joues Co. F. A. I am reliably informed that Mr. Koonce presented this certificate to Mr. Stanly with a request to sign; whereupon Mr. Sta Ay, whose conduct was as cautious and courteous as Mr Koonce's was crafty, presented the demands ol the Alliance to tbe Fragrant Daisy Of the political desert with a similar request. .To obtain tbe certifica-e, be was compelled to sign the de mands. When was this done? The certificate be..i8 no date. The omission wus vital and iuteutional. It should have been dated the 27th or 28th of October, ten day after my card was written. It fails U refute my charge, and serves mild ly to illustrate the pett smartness and insincerity of the tramp who 6ince the war has boarded every political train in this State, and was recently knocked off the plat form of the new Alliance car. After all, the electiou furnishes the most gratifying evidence of the truth of my card and of the resolu tion with the endorsement of the Republican party to hel( him, Mr Koonce received only 337 votes iu Onslow. At his own home, where three Alliances, aggregating 100 members, oast their ballets, Mr. Koonce received 28 vote.-, some of them colored, while Mr. Oilman re ceived 123. Mr. Koonce closed bis reply with the following triumphant and prayerful paragraph : These things will show tbe per son who signs himself "County Lecturer Onslow Alliance" in an unenviable light. The "candidate for Senator on the Alliance Plat form" has not been on terms of friendship with him for many years. Tho reason is apparent. It is to be hoped that the voters of the 9th district, irrespective of class, will signify their disapproval of the abominable wicfet-duess of trafficking, truckling politicians in the most emphatic way possible, and maintain the principles ol truth and justice, when they cast their ballots. By his own confession, therefore, "these things" have no effeo npou Kichiaoas Alliance or their published Action an hon est confession! If lack of per sonal friendship inspired my can, a stronger feeling must have prompted the unanimous aotiou of Richlands Alliauce. Tt.ere must be some radical defect in the twelfth juror when be accuses the othee eleven of contrariness. It will be remembered, however, that a fact is a fact, whether related in affection or disaffection, tor evi dent reasons, not personal in their nature, 1 have iI way s opposed Mr. Koonce politically. As I hae en deavored to prevent bis debauch ing the Democracy of this county, so I strive to prevent the prostitu tion of the Alliance to the base purpose of any "trafficking, truck ling politician." Rt-ad again the ast sentence in Mr. Koonce's closing paragraph ; thiuk of the result in the tub senatorial district. It maybe true that the pra;. ers of the wicked avail nothing, but it is none the less clear to y our mind that they receive fitting answer no less than the prayers of the righteous, provided they be made along di vinely answerable lines. This bit of explanation 1 regret and have deferred We dislike to disturb a grave. In this instance, however, it seemed necessary, be- . LI . l: -1. , cause of tne "unenviauie ngui -in which I was thought to be shown. Some persons were uncharitable enough to think that either l or Mr. Koonce had nea. mat tne charge might not rest against me, it was necessary to take up the bodv of my accuser. And now, good reader, wholied ? You've glanced at the body. C. Thompson. Richlands, Nov. 25th, 1890. Onslow County Items. The Eads are defeated all over the county.
