AN ABLE XMPHZSEHTATIYB AND POPULAR PUBLIO OFFICIAL. Baltimore Snn The nomination of Gen. Adali E. Stevenson, of Illinois, for Vicei-Pres- ldent. cannot but be a popular one. and must add strength to the ticket. Mr. Stevenson was born in Christian county, Ky., on the 23d day of Octo ber, lo Jo, but belongs to an old North ' Carolina family., In . 1852 Mr. Stevenson s family moved to Bloomingtou, III., where he had ex cellent educational advantages. He was lor somo tune a student in the Illinois Wesleyan. University, but compietca 111S eUUCatlOU at UCntre CnWfoJ Dunvillfi . Kv. He was admitted to the bar in 1858 and immediately began the practice of law at Metamora, ill., where he remained until 1808. In 1861 ho I was appointed Master in Chancery and held the office for four years. In 1864 he was elected District At torney, which; position he also held for lour yours, at the end of his term niovmsr to 15 oominctofl. 111., whfire ,,- f All u: I,;. ho formed a partnership with his cousin, Hon. James S. Ewing. The ; firm soon attaiued the first rank at the McLean bar and eu joyed a very large ana ulcerative practice. iu.i . obuveiisuu wus murneu m lovo vr . i?a r. i rsitn to jj,g8 Lctitia Green, daughtejf of JJr, Lewis W. ureen, an cmyient rresoytenan minister, wno waspres i. , . . ... , ident of . Center College, Daiiville, Ky., at the time of his death. In 1864 Mr. Stevenson was a Presiden tial Elector on the Democratic ticket. In 1874, in a district reliably lle- publican by' about 3,000 majority, xq Wgg nominated for Congress and uy i,oo maioruy. no was re-uom- j A S ' t QViS mated; in 1876, but this being a Presidential year the party ; lines were closely drawn, and he was bea ten by about 250 plurality. , Jn 1878 ho was elected to congress, carrying every county in his district, his own county in 1870 gave;. Hayes 2,000 majority, and in IbbO gave Uarneld over 2,000 majority, casting its voto for him. i In 1880 he was re-nominated for Congress. Although this was : a Presidential year, he was beaten by brit little more than (200 votes. Be fore the next' election the State was redistricted by a Legislature which had a Republican majority. ' On ac- rrtnut nf Mr. Stftvrtnann'a rmnn arir.v he was placed in a district every . . , 7 fT county of which was Kepublican, Garfield's majority therein having beenvover 2,700. In 1882, in this new district, without a Democratic county in it, lr. Stevenson yielded to the desire of his party, and once ..J. xL 3. l II. vii6. came withtrJ 350 votes of carrying his distnctJ This was his last can didacy for Congress.

I In 18S4 he was) a delegate to the jjemocratic national Convention, and after- the election he was nrcssed by his friends fofr the position of j . . . ; First Afsistant Postmaster-General, towhi::H he was (appointed by Jlr, Ulevei ,:id, and savvta tliroujriiout THE his administration with great effici ency. It is said that Mr. Stevenson has as many warm personal friends ini wasninecon as anv umuiai wuu ever held office in the District o Columbia. One of the last otlicia acts of Mr. Cleveland was to nomi nate Mr. Stevenson for justice of the dupreme uourt ox tne district o Columbia, but the Kepublicon Sen ate failed to act on his nomination Since his retirement from the Post- office Department he has been enga ged in the practice of law at Uloom ington, in. THE BURDEN IS HERE- New York World. President Harrison congratulated his hearers on Memorial day that "we do not burden our people to maintain standing armies. No but we do burden them with taxes for pensions which exceed the largest standing army in Jkurope. ; . Our list of pensioners exceeds by over 325,000 the great standing army of 500.000 in Germany. We support wholly or partially from the Treasury ono in twelve of the entire voting population JNorth and South. , We added to the pension list in ten months of last year twenty- seven years after the close of the war 255,448 names, which is 70,000 more than the total Union loss in killed, wounded and missing in the twelve great battles of the war. The cost of pensions alone is now more than double the entire expense of the Government in tho year be fore the war. Peace in the United States is more expensive than the front of war abroad.

'Tis true that it was his constitutional duty to be just to all sections, and he recog nized and discharged it. No other President had done so since shots were heard around the walls of Sump ter.

INTHE AIR- AMD THB OLD.XOITII STATU iSKEtPING TIME WITH THAT OBAND MUSIC. ! Special Edition Rocky Meant Argonaut. The people of North Carolina, from the' earliest settlement of our country, until the past few yean, have been . much too con servative, iney, to a treat extent, have beeaeooteat, to lead quiet, unambitious livss, content to see other countries and people striving fur wealth. This is the reason, and the only one, that our (State is uot now, one of the furemost in the Union, that the fruitful sod of this section has not been turned into one vast garden, and that within a radius of fifty miles of Kocky Mount, we have not a dozen or so of grand manufacturing; towns, bringing prosperity and happiness to our people. liut we are glad to say that this is chang ing every day. The electricity of progress is in the air;. The lands which have been plowed and sowed lor generations, are being rudeU torn up to obtain their pre- oious ores. The rattle of the cars and the shriek of the locomotive disturbs the quiet of the valleys. The streams where the children used to boat and iish are forced into turning the busy wheel, and instead of the sylvan sounds of the days gone by, is heard the clatter ol machinery, where the hue factory converts the products of the field into fmbrics for every cliine. The old pastoral days are cone forever. The resources of North Carolina, are too great and varied, and the chances of reap" jug a goldeu harvest, for the money, brains aud energy invested in opeuiog up these resourees, are too certain, tu allow her to be passed by lu the mad rush of the wor. pishers of mammon, in their pursuit of lucre. If we would hold our place in the race, we must be up and doing. In all our fair Southland, cities are springing up as if by magic Land, one day a desert, is a busy city tne next, ureut manufacturing centers are going up ail over tne una. Our hills are sending out a stream of ore and our valleys are darkened by the smoke of our furnaces. Oar grand old State stands pre-eminent among her sisters of the South. Her climate is unexcelled. The cooling breezes that blow from the ocean and the mountains temper the heat of her summers, and instead of the frosts and snows so intimately associated with the name of winter, she has the blending of the beauties of autumn and spring, iler position, climate and peculiar adaptibility of soil, make uer the paradise of the fruit grower and market gardener; in tact, this State, especially the tawtern part, can be made the market garden of the North At lantio 8tates. ' In gen oral farming, with the same intelligence aud enargy, more money can be made to the acre, than in any other State in the Union. , 1 Tne Eastern section is eminently adapted to the growing of early fruits and vegeta bles, the production of which for the great markets of the North is ' rapidly bcooining buioets of great extent and importance, and so far, has proven to be one of the best paying investments in the world, iler vineyards prove that she can take the front rank as a grapo growing aud wiue " produ cing country, 'Her timbers in regard , to quality and variety are ahead of any State in the Union.

How often I think of you, dear Bisters, shut ofi irom eartu s puree . joys, Uome with me aud let us wander at our own svvoet wills. Look on the granduer, the sublime beauty of the world around ua, take out your pen. cils if you are artists, and sketch some of the grand aud lovely things you see. Look on the towering pines, centuries old ; on the noble old oaks and other trees; on that mossy bank 'neath their ample shade where we might spend a pleasant hour wiui that moht grateful of all friends, a book, or dreaming there forget for an hour that we ever had a care. On the mossy carpet, finer than any woven in olden lands, our ftet make scarce a prlut; we go on and on, for we are not yet- tired with our walk, looking on the noble trees, the sweet wild flowers, tho waving grasses, the throats of many little feathered Bongsters make the forest riug with their gay music, a timid bars starts up just before us, looking at us with great solemn, dark eves, and Beems almost to know we are not so cruel as to injure him and scarcely fears us, di rsctly a small rustle ueur us makes us start back in horror, for what daughter 'of Eve does not fear a snake, but it is only a tiny green creature mat is more frifhtened than ourselves, and glides quickly away; we ramble slowly ou, here ud thdro stopping to aaniire me grauu ireeswuu weir guuned trunks overgrown with moss and vines, and to gather the wild flowers into a bouquet to take home ; we watch the birds flitting here and there iu the sunshine singing their glad song, aud raise our eyes to tb bfue sky above us with a heart full of thankfulness for the many blessings of heaven. Well, we are getting weary now I with our walk, though we could go much1 larther; take out your sketches and com. pare then; with our surroundings, how small aud insignificant do we fiud evu this, the grandest of all' arts when com" pared with nature.

Tho following is the State Demo cratic platform a3 adopted by thu Stato convention assembled Afaj 18 : ' Eesolved, 1, That the aemoeracy .f North Carolina reaffirm the principles f the democratic party, both State aud natio nal, and particularly favor tfie free coinanH of silver and an increase of the currency, and the repeal of the internal revenue system. And we denounoe the McKinlwy tariff bill as unjust to the consumers of th. country, and heading to the formation nf trusts, combine and monopolies . whittt have oppressed the people ; aud eapocwtiy do we denonnce the unnecessary and bin deusome increase in the tax on cotton ti and on tin, so largely used by the poon-r portion of the people. .We likewise d nounce the inequitons force bill, which in not yet abandoned by the republican party, but is being urged as a measure to bn adopted as toon as they regain control of the House of Eepresentatives, the purposei and effect of which measu will be to es tablish a second period of reconstruction in the Southern States, to subvert the liberties of our people and inflame a new race an. tagonism and sectional animosities. . 2. That we demand financial reform, and the enactment of laws that will remove the burden of the neODle relative In tha existing agricultural depression, and do full and ample justice to the farmers and laborers of our country, v a. mat we demand the abolition of national banks, and the substitution of le.cni tender treasury notes in lien of national bank notes, issued in sufficient volume to do the business of the country on a CASh system, regulating the amount ueedad o a per capita basis as the business Interests of the country expand, and that all money issued by the Government shall Ym Ucml tendw in payment of all debts, both Dublin and private. , 4. That we demand that Congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually r-revent ie dealing in futures of all agricultural and mechanical productions; providing such stringent system of procedure in trials as shall secure prompt Conviction and im posing such penalties as shall eocura most perfect compliance with the law. 5. lhat we demand the free and unlimi ted coinage of silver. 6. lhat we demand the naesace of laws . prohibiting the alien ownership of land, and that Congress take early steps to devise some plan to obtain all lands now owned oj alien ana ioreign syndicates ; and that all lands now held by railroads and other corporation,' in excess of such as is actu ally used and needed by them, be reclaimed by the government and held for actual settlers ouly, 7. Believing in the doctrine of "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," we demand that taxation, national or State. shall not be used to build updone interest, or class at the expense of another. Wo believe that the money of the country should be kept as much M possible ia the hands of (he people, and hence we demand that all revenue, national, State or county, ; shall-be limited to the necessary expenses or tne government economically and hoa , estly administered. 8. lhat Congress issue a sufficient amount of fractional paper currency to facilitate the exchange through the medium of the United States mail. Kesolved, That the General Assembly 1 pass such laws as will make tie public - chool system mere effective that the bles sings of education may be extended to all the people ot the state alike. 1 Lot ,TA l.v.an4 . 3 I J ua t ucuiiuu a Kmu uaiwi ib on in comes.
