NEWS AND VIEWS. Fonr Democratic electors from Michigan and fonr from Wisconsin, and such like performance?, iarliat ia going to sweep the field for CleYe- land. The present campaign is perhaps the most spirited that North Caro Una has had in a nnmber of years The principles of democracy have been fnlly expounded. The fonr hnndreth anniversary of the discovery of America has en gaged the people of the centres of population recently. The opening cerimonies at Chicago will occur to morrow. The Republicans who have re cently come over to the democratic side are very clear in all their dis cussiona of public questions. They have'nt been asleep all this time. From every indication at home and fom the reports Irom the North it looks now like Cleveland will go in on a tidal wave. It was the people who forced his nomination at Chicago, and the people are ris ing in their might and are saying Cleveland must and shall be elected. And he will. The latest concerning Mrs. Lease is that she has been offeied $ 5,000 by the National Republican Com mittee to speak in New York and elsewhere in the Noith on "southern outrages." She will be perfectly consistent to accept the proposition; for she is simply hired on her Weaver tour, and as $5,000 is a pretty good lump, the soutnerD people would not think any less of her than they do. The estimate is to zero anyway and when it goes below that you can't connt it. Wonder if any one else besides Mrs. Lease gets pay for talking about "Southern outrages?" We learn tbat a Halifax county Third party speaker has denounced the Southern people for their treatment of Mrs. Lease, and says it is an oat- rage. Now, most of the Southern people have let Mrs. Lease beautl fully alone. They have not bother ed themselves even to look at her. And if the truth were known, this is the greatest "outrage" that the Kansas woman feels the absence of hearers. Hon. Walter Clark of the Supreme Court of North Carolina recently prepared an able and instructive article on the life of General James Hogun or Halifax connty, who was a delegate to the Provincial Con gress which met in Halifax April 4, 776. General Hogun moved from reland to the Scotland Neck sec tion and Oct. 3. 1757 married Miss Ruth Norfleet, of the well known amily of that name. He resided near the present village of Hobgood, where the late L. L. Savage lived. Judge Clark's article on General Hogun was published in the Sep tember nnmber of the North Carolina Teacher. Judge Clark has prepared a pa per fur The Green i?agr, published in Boston, in which he will give a history of the Supreme Court of North Carolina Irom Christopher Gales to Jams McRae. The brusque and fussy impulse of these days of false impression would rate down all as worthless because one is unworthy. As if there were no motes in sunbeams! Ur coments among stars! Or cataracts iu peaeeful rivers! Because one remedy pro fesses to do what it naver was adapted to do, are all remedies worthless? Because one doctor lets his patient die, are all humbuss? It requires a tine eye and a finer brain to discriminate to draw the differential line - They say" that Dr. Pierce's Golden, Medical Discovery aud Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription have cured thousands. "They say" for a weak svstem there's nothig better than the" Discovery. ' and that the "Favorite Prescription" is the hope debilitated, feeble woman who need a restorative tonic and bracing nervine. And here's tee proof Try one or both- If they don't nelp you, tell World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo N. Y., and you get your noney back again.

Shelby Review, A Cleveland county Gideooite, who is an ex-Yankee auldicr and a Republican, went over into Llncola county last week to bear a political discussion. While Dr W. L. Cronse, Democratic nominee for representa tive, was speakiDg, the Gicteonitc, holding up a silver dollar, begac to fire questions at him about free coinage. While be was at it, a man in tbe crowd, to whom he bad owed a dollar for a long time and who had vainly tried to collect it many times, walked up and collared the dollar and brought down tbe house. A Republican Senator's Opinion on the Force Bill. I have read tbat bill with care and attention more than twenty times. I have read it in the light of calm consideration. And I repeat tbat if it were presented to me now with tbe alternative of party support or party dismissal, I should not vote for tbe bill. A more infamous bill, In my judgment, never passed tbe threshold of the doors of tbe Senate Avowedly in the interest of good government, it was instigated, in my judgment, by men whose interest it was to prevent a free exi-rpssion of the will of the votersat tbe polls. Senator Teller A Third Party Movement Set Back- Oct. 11-The third party ifoveinent in Virginia received a set back last night. Tbe alliance of Opequeon, in this county, and tbe Kaufmans school house alliance adopted reso lutions stating tbat the officers of tbe State alliance were improperly using the alliance funds to further the in terests of a political party in viola tion of the foundation principles of tbe organization, and resolving upon no further payments of dues until radical changes should be made in tbe personnel and officers. Washington and Baltimore to be Connected. It is authoritatively stated that Baltimore and Washington are to be connected by a grand boulevard and electric road . Witiiin the next 50 days the route will be surveyed and the construction begun. The construc tion of the double-track electric road will admit of the ranning of cars or trains at a rate of sixty urne an hour, wbiub is thought will furnish tbe rapid transit service so necessary between tbe two cities and the inter vening towns. A New Plague to Cattle. Parsons Kansas) Eclipse. A new pleugue of flies has put in its appearance this year in tbe big cattle pastures, especially In tbe In dian Territory. A small black fly, not over half tbe size of the common bouse fly, that has never been seen before by the cattlemen, either here, or in Texas, or any othor cattle state. Tbey swarm upon the cattle in clouds, covering bead, horns, neck aud a'l until they are perfectly black. Pronounced llopf lent Yet Saved From a letter written by Mrs. Ada E. Hurd, of Groton, S.

Let there be light. and there was light Gen.. 1-3. God has aald many a time during tbe ages. Let there be light! and whenever tbe sublime utterance is heard some great genius is born. Some incidents which have made tbe last few days conspicuous stand in bold and suggestive contrast to each ether. One cannot ponder them without rather painful conscious ness tbat tbe world Is a queer place to live in; that tbe human race kas only half learned its alphabet as yet, and tbat the millennium is so far away that the Lick telescope can make nothing better than a nebula out of the fringes of its garments. Cynics who delight to sneer tell us with something of assurance that society is atdl io the Hottentot cycle of development aud that our boated civilisation and refinement are more or less of a 6ljatn and a humbug. Tbe incidents to wbicn we refer tend to corroborate this theory. I. Mr. George William Curtis was a man of brains and iu early life be started out with the noble purpose of achieving a career by means of his geuiu. He won a popularity ex tending frin tbe Atlantic to the Pa cine, was & welcome visitor in every scholar's home both here aud abroad, and used bis talents for tbe benefit of bi kind. If it be true tbat we really weigh a man accordinffto bis intrinsic worth and repay his toil according to its real value, Mr, Curtis should b-ve amassed, not exceeding wealth, per hap but certainly an ample com petency. In his habits be was simple aud frugal; m his work be was in dustrious and aspiring . We are in debted to him for enjoyment of the higher order and acknowledge it with unstinted praise. Nevertheless, after a life of constant and con scientious endaavor, extending almosi to tbe limit set down by tbe Hebrew seer, be died a comparatively poor man. Sixty thousand dollars W:is the sum total of bis savings. II. Whittier in a ripened age has also passed on, and when we inquire concerning tbe financial results with which the world rewarded his splen did genius we findtbem very disap pointing. We are almost forced to the conclusion that everything pays better tban ideas; that when a man devotes himself to literary pur suits he dooms himself to povertv ; tbat it is more profitable from a this w jrld point of view to be a bkilled mechanic than a uoet or an artist. Wblttier lived on a slender income simply, less expensively and sur rounded by fewer luxuries than tbe coufidential clerk in an importing house or the keeper of a successful corner grocery. III. James Corbett achieved a victory which has made his nam a household word. It was not a con test of brains, but of knuckles. His ohief business was to dodge the sledgehammer blows of Sullivan and to pound toe face of bis opponent oat of all recognizable shape. Hav ing acconopliabed both results be poeketed a snug little fortune of thirty-five thousand dollars and baa ever since been besieged ty offers of one or two thousand dollars for thirty minutea' exhibition. In word, he has made in a single week with bis hsts as macu as Curtis or Whittier made by a lifetime of in tellectual toil, and probably more than any college president could lay by in a score of years. Tbe inevitable conclusion is tbat scolarship is tbe equivalent of tear trydom, lbe world does not pay the largest price for the most elevat ing kind of work or for tbe services of its most gifted men. On tu-i con trary, it is notoriously indifferent to both. So universal is this ttiai if you find a scholar, a poet, an astrono mer, joa are sure to find a poor man. So far as money is concerned it, p-ya a hundred times better to invent a new poroas plaster than to write the best book that ever eame from tbe press. The most noted professors io our uLiversities would feel neb with tbe salary wbicb a painted clown squanders. We make no comments of these facts. Tbat they are facts is itself a fact as startling as it is disturbing. In tbe course or a million years or more things may be different and therefore better, bat for the present a. lw s A 1. a, . . .
