Mr. Henry Watterson, writing a letter to the Courier 'Journal, from New York, on the demon stration in that city on Labor Day, remarks that if the Demo cratic party loses possession of the natioal government at the next election, it will be through the agency of the labor vote. This hope of the Republican par ty in the canvass of 1888 is in the diversion, through Henry George and other leaders, of enough Democratic votes to de feat the Democrats, by giving the electoral vote of Xew York, and possibly Virginia, and other States to the Republican candi dates. For it is plain that a third ticket, professedly in the interest of labor, will have no substantial effect but to split the Democrats in some of the cities, and give the Republicans a bet ter chance for victory. It is strange that the honest sons of toil do not see in this light. The proper resting place for the working men is in the folds of the Democratic party. By working men, we mean all honest toilers, whether by brain or hand, or both, who make a livelihood by their labor, and do not rely for subsistence upon cor ruption or fraud, or the advan tage of monpoly sustained by le gal statute. Rut it may be idle to reason with those who imagine that they have grievances and who are misguided by visionary leaders. Under the existing condition of j ublic affairs, not only the labor element of the cities, but the people generally, have cause of complaint, but any reflecting man will understand that the relief is to be had not through one of the great politic al parties as a present constitut ed. And the party of reform is the Democratic party. If the la boring men would act wisely they would vote with the Demo crats, make tbemselves felt, and help to correc : abuses as well as secure justice for themselves in stead of throwing away their votes. Some of the great evils of the day, which have the effect to op press and injure the workingman are the tendency of the Republi can party to foster monopoly so as to grind thepoor ; the concen tration of capital, which gives it greater power, and the extortion practiced in the collection of a hundred millions of revenue per annum more than is needed by the government. These evils the Democratic pirty is pledged to remedy. Any seperate organiza tion of workingmen will be pow erless to affoid the desired re lief, but on the contrary may per peturte the hardships by helping the Republicans back to power. The prominent issue of the day in national politics is the question of revenue. The Dem ocrats are pledged to the repeal or modification of the karrass ing internal revenue laws. On the sujbect of the tariff they oc cupy the posit ion which is exactly in the best int erest of every work ing man indisputably of every skilled laborer. The National Democratic platform draws the tariff linejust where it will protect the workingman against the pau per labor of Europe, and will do no more. It would not pamper captilists and make the rich ri,h-J er and the poor poorer, as the Republican practice has been, but in laying the tariff for reve nue would protect American in? dustries eo the point at which they can py fair wages for American labor. Under the circumstances it will be a fearful mistake on the part of the workingmen of New York and Richmond and other cities if, as Mr. Watterson thinks, the Democratic party must fight its battle next year with the labor vote cast in the scale against it. Mr. George, the foremost of the labor party movement, is for absolute free trade with its star vation wages, and for laying all the taxes on land. Wrhere would such a policy leave the American mechanic and laborer ? i;coiio miy Is Wealth. Ctmvbcr' Journal.) "What is the matter?" asked a lawyer of his coachman. "The horses are conning away, sir." "Can't you pull them up ?" "I'm afraid not." "Then," said the lawyer, after judicial delay, "run them into something cheap." Smith ' CAROLINA SMITHF1ELD, N. C, SEPTEMBER 5Ir. Tliobc's Confcitt. ( ITinAMjMH, D. C, titectte.) The revival of the contest of Mr. Carlisle's seat in the Fiftieth Congress by Mr. Thobe, who was his opponent at the last election, is quite a surprise to the majori ty of people who were led to be lieve that the contest of Mr. Car lisle's seat had been virtually abandoned, it was stated short ly after the election tliat a care ful recanvass of the votes had been made, and the results show ed that Mr. Carlisle had undubt edly received a majority in his district, and had secured an elec tion. Even Mr. Thobe himself seemed to acquiece in this decis ion, and no evidence in support of his claim to the seat was filed with the House of Representa tives until a few days ago. There can be no question as to which of the two is the better legisla tor, or will represent the Ken tucky district. Mr. Carlisle has had long experience in public life, and is a man of signal force and ability. It would be unfor tunate for his party, for the country, in fact, and for himself, if by any technicality he should be deprived of a seat in the Fiftieth Congress. It is under stood that Mr. Thobe will claim that as he represents the labor ing interests in his district, a re fusal on the part of the House committee on elections, or on the House itself, to recognize his claims will be to positively ig nore the Labor party. It is not easily seen how he can take his stand. The district in which he claims an election must stand by itself, and without reference to any-other district either in the state of Kentucky or the country, consequently, the laboring men of his district are a body of them selves, and if it shall be shown that they failed fo poll a suffi cient number of votes .to elect t heir candidate, it can certainly have no effect upon the laboring people in any other locality. The attempt to make a labor question out Mr. Thobe's contest should certainly fail. It is, however, to be hoped that Mr. Carlisle will not only be seated by the Fifti eth Congress, but that he will be reelected Speaker. Cameron's Views of Cleveland. i iViwe York TVtrat.) General Cameron has not only respect, but something approach ing reverence, from a very large number of Republicans in Penn sylvania and all over the coun try. It will not do to have him declaring in this manner that ' Cleveland is a safe man." He will have to be labored with and shown that the only hope of Re publican success lies in the ex tensive belief that Mr. Cleveland is not a safe man, whatever the fact may be. If old-time Re publicans men who belonged to the party and fought its bat tles when some of its present ar dent champions were in swad dling clothes are to fail to be frightened by Cleveland, the game of the managers is irp. Lynch f.aw Breeds Contempt For Authority, ( Wilmington Mtfxtnger.) It is to be regretted that the law was not allowed to take its course and deal out justice to the negro who was lynched re cently at Greensboro, for Judge Lynch is by no- means an infalli ble tribunal, and every man is entitled to consideration until he has been tried and convicted. Recourse ought never to be had to lynch law methods in a State where justice is meted out so promptly and impartially as in North Carolina. Lynch law is not sound law, and it breeds con tempt of the constituted author ities. The crime for which the negro paid the penalty was an unpardonable one, and if there is anything which can extenuate an appeal to Judge Lynch's tri bunal it is the outrage of a pure and innocent woman. It is a heinous sin against society which must be punished with the ex treme severity of the law, other wise no woman is safe and no community is protected. But we could wish that our indignant friends in Greesboro had let the brute have the trial he was enti tled to. There would then have been no question of identifica tion, no element of uncertainty, and he would have gone to the gallows, a victim of the law's righteous wrath. CAROLINA, HEAVEN'S BLESSH His First Glass of Cbampaine. j (Vitwcu'cee Sentinel.) "Have you any champagne ?" The questioner was an awk ward looking fellow, apparently from the country ; the places a well-known Grand avenue res taurant, and the time early Sat urday evening. Upon being ans wered in the affirmative, he ask ed : "Do you sell it by the glaps?" "No, sir, by the bottle," re plied the waiter. "All right. Please give me a bottle." The young man took a seat and the wine was brought ?nd uncorked in his presence. Fill ing his glass after the manner of a. man emptying a bottle of beer, he hesitatingly raised it to his lips ; then, after a moment's con sideration he blew the froth from it and swallowed the con tents with one gulp. It was so good that he repeated the dose until the bottle was empty. The occupants of adjacent chairs had meanwThile become interested, and were watching the vigorous wine -drinker with the keenest interest. Apparently satisfied with himself, he called for a ten cent cigar and puffed away con tentedly. When he got ready to go he hauded the waiter a quar ter. The Teutonic beer-slinger gazed at the piece of silver, and then at the countryman, in un disguised amazement. "Haven't you forgotten the champagne ?" said he. "Certainly not. Take it out of the quarter," glibly answered the young man. The waiter at tempted to explain that cham pagne was not a five-cent drink, but the innocent granger would have none of it. Then the pro prietor appeared on the scene, and in terms that stirred up the stagant waters of the river de manded a reason of the man's conduct. The embarrassed would- be blood pleaded ignorance of the rules of high society, paid his bill and retired to hide his confusion from the amused crowd. The proprietor then paralyzed everybody by setting up the drinks all around. L.tllie Punfsthment Fit flic Crime (Borton Herald.) There has been a disposition to condone criminal acts when they have been committed on a large scale. The tendency is one of the most serious defects in our present social state. The onlv way to prevent the demor alization consequent upon the triumphs of fraud is to punish those who can be convicted of these offenses in a manner that will cover them and their acts with unbending disgrace, To Test the ljnainite Gun, Secretary Whitney has invited the members of the Naval Com mittees of Congress, and a num ber of naval officers to go down New York bay on the "Dispatch," to witness the trial, on the 20th inst., of the pneumatic dynamite gun. The Navy Department has furnished an old schooner as a target, and the attempt to blow it up will be made under condi tions that are likely to test the destructive ability of this mod ern weapon of naval warfare. Crazy From Smoking; Cigarettes. ( Charlotte Chro nicle. ) Some excitement was created in Spartanburg, at one of the hotels recently, by the antics of a man who had been made crazy by smoking cigarettes. His name was Plummer, and he had just arrived in Spartanburg with his bride from Birmingham. His insanity was of the rip-roaring character, and it took six men to manage him and keep him from clearing the hotel of its guests. The doctors who were called loaded him with morphine by hypodermic injection, and he was finally put to sleep. The young bride was terribly agitated by the occurrence, and attracted the sympathies of all the people about the hotel. This case will be one of general interest from the fact that the young man's in sanity was caused by smoking cigarettes, and it points a moral which the youth of the land should heed. The man is said to be a raving maniac, and the doctors attribute the cause sore ly to his excessive indulgence in the cigarette. ?3S ATTEND HEE. 24, 1887. A Pretty Jewess. CREATES A GREAT SEXSATION BY MARRYING A GEXTILE. A marriage out of the ordinary line was solemnized in Columbia, S.C, recently, the governor of the State performing the cere mony. The chief actors were Mr. II. A. Harth, a young broker of that city, and Miss Rachel David, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy Jewess, Mrs. Letty David. Bv befriending a broth er of hers, who has now become his bride, the young broker be came a friend of the family, was for two years past welcomed as a visitor by the mother, and in that time won first the friend ship and later the love of the daughter. When the latter fact came to be suspected by the pa rent, however, the young man was forbidden the house, but like all earnest lovers persisted and secured the consent of the ob ject of his affections to a mar riage and elopement. The pros pective bride being of the Jew ish faith, was unwilling to be married by a clergyman, and ac cordingly the future groom ob tained the consent of Governor Richardson, the chief executive of South Carolina, to perform the ceremony in accordance with the. rights vested in him by law. The marriage took place at the executive mansion, in the pres ence of a few invited guests. The governor officiated most gracefully, and drank the health and future prosperity of the couple he had made one. The Female Sam Jones. (Kiiixts Ctty Journal Mrs Richardson, a member of the Salvation Army, who is a trifle too old to pass for a Salva tion lassie, entertained a big crowd on the public square re cently. In the course of a twenty minutes' exhortation she said the following among other things : "A salloon keeper is the dev il's advance agent." "I haven't got any use for these kind of people that keep their Christianity in a bandbox six days in a week and take it out on the seventh." "There isn't a church in this city that has the spirit of God in it. They will guarantee you a seat in heaven for $50 a year." "You can't get Christianity into a fool any more than you can get bologna sausage from a rattlesnake." "Do you think that a man with a chew of tobacco in his mouth and a bottle of whiskey in his pocket is a fit temple for the spirit God ?" "I would try to get to heaven just t keep out of the cqmpany there is in hell, if for no other reason." "The Salvation Army is the people's church. You don't have to wear a silk dress there to get religion." "Jay Gould will have to take his brimstone straight, just the same as the poorest criminal." A ( H and" important Feature of the State Fair. ATetcx and Obs(rier.J The executive committee at a meeting held last night arranged for a grand Farmers' State Insti tute to be conducted during the Fair. The day sessions will be held on the grounds and ample arrangements will be made for the comfort of the Exposition building will be appropriated for this purpose, where seats, plat forms and all conveniences will be provided. The night sessions will be held in Commons hall in the city. An interesting pro gramme will be arranged and an nounced in a few days. It is ex pected that this will be the most interesting meeting ever held in the State and that more farmers will speak than ever before at tempted it. The speakers will all be limited that all may have a showing. Dr. D. Reid Parker, of Trinity College, has been se lected to conduct this institute. At the same meeting such bus iness was transacted looking to the success of the fair. . The prospects were never bet ter. Many letters from different sections of the State were read, showing that great interest is be ing manifested in its success. The committee is very much encouraged. Every member is enthusiastic.

There is a large factory in Bridgeport, near Chicago, employing about 100 men, boys and girls, in which waste animal blood is converted into buttons. The same firm has another large factory elsewhere. A man named Hirsch was the first to introduce the business into this country, some years ago. He lost $16,000 the first six months, but stuck to it and now is immensely wealthy. There are a number of similar factories in England. From 8,000 to 10, 000 gallons of blood are used in the Bridgeport factory every day. Nothing but fresh beef blood is used. Considerable of the blood evap orates during the process of dry ing, but what remains is pure al bumen. Some of it is light in color and some dark, according to the chemical treatment given it. These thin sheets of dried blood are then broken up, and are ready to be worked into various shapes and sizes. Large quantities of the blood sheets are used by cloth manufacturers for "setting" the color in calico goods. Not only are buttons made from blood in this way, but tons of earrings, breastpins, belt clasps, combs and trinkets are made annually there from blood. It is a queer, odoriferous business, but a paying one. The Missouri Hatch word in the Next Campaign. "It must be done," said the President, accepting the St. Louis invitation. "This remark," says a Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Record, "so pleased the St. Louis delegation that they made it as a watchword of their visit. While they were here, they went to Mount Ver non and when they left for home, every other word seems to have been 'It must be done.' Wheth er the proposition had been to take a drink or the train, to pay a bill or a call, the reply choru sed by as many of the delegates as heard it was always the same, It must be done.' Before they left for St. Louis they had 'It must be done' painted on a long strip of cotton and tacked on the 'side of their principal car. When the President shall get out to St. Louis he will find it every where. In the next campaign, according to some of the Missourians, the transparencies will all bear this legand: 'For re election, Grover Cleveland, ofjNew York It must be done." ' The Largest Gorilla Yet New York Star.) Boston has just received from Africa the largest gorilla ever landed in this country. His name is Jack, and he is five feet in height when standing erect and measures seven feet from the end of one outstreched hand to the other. He weighs about 125 pounds, and exhibits enormous strength, compared with which that of man seems like a child's. He arrived in a large box made of planking two and a half inch es thick, and when being re moved from the ship he tore large splinters from the hard wood planks with as much ease as a child would break a twig. The hair, which is very coarse and from two to four inches in length, fa a greenish gray color, and on the back, legs and arms inclines to a black. His shoul ders are immense. The expres sion of face, which is black, is scrowling. The eyes are small, sunken in the head, and the lips large and thin.

Ex. Atlanta is still worrying with the liquor question. A bill has been prpared to amend the char ter of the city of Atlanta so as to provide that in event the city should vote against prohibition the election in Noveinder, and the sale of liquor should be again permitted, the sale should be con fined to a small area located in the center of the city, and fixing the license, $2,000. At a meet ing of the counsel on Monday, the matter was discussed, and the rate of license, was fixed at $1 ,500. It is said that Dr. Felton will try and put his 810,000 license into the bill if it comes before the House for consideration. Ex.

It is liberty which has enlightened the world, not the necessary evil of legisla tures, which with our taxes we pay to guard that liberty from aggression.
