The Albany Argus, a leading Democratic iournaKsays: Any recession from the bold, uncom promising, popular position on the most important questions, as sumed by the party last year, would be political suicide. The Review has said the same in substance on more than one occasion. The Thomasville editor has had his garden robbed. He says: The man that stole our cucumbers last Sunday morning, and peeled them in the road ought to have called on us and we would have given him some salt, pepper and vinegar to make them easier of digestion. The man who stole ai our ripe peach.es last Sunday, might have had mlk to wash them down, if he had called on US. . of All the lepers of the Sandwich Islands are sent to the land of Malokai in the Hawaiian croupe, and there, forsaken Dy kith and km, are left to the ravages of this terrible scourge. Father Damien de Venster. a Roman Catholic Priest (re centlv deceased), learning not only of their miserable physical condition, but their more desperate, sinful state (given tip to lust and blasphemy) repaired thither to consecrate his life amongst them, and if possible, ameliorate their lot hoXh bod ily and spiritually. This saintly Father faced a certain ueatn, oy contagion, irom the loathsome plague, but this did not deter him, and before he fell a martyr to his pelf-immolated arid holy work, he had the glorious satisfaction 6f creating con tentment out of utter, wretched despair, with the most revolting depravity, and converting a host of human devils into christians, and changing their hitherto most sinful lives into a bearable, christian and resigned'existence. Away, thou holy man Of God, to yonder loathsome, leprous isle Where mortals cursed of earth, in durance vile, Endure their awful ban. Thou go'st forth, from all thou lovest here, To face a living death without a fear. "Unclean, unclean!" the cry The leper made of old to tell the doom While passing to the wilderness alone. Without a friend, to die. Is heard not there, for all alike are free To bear the plague their lives will have to dree. Amid that outcast throng No Helon seeks a Saviour's healing hand, Nor help nor hope for those forever ban ned Inspires with prayer or song To seek from God or man a pitying tear, While all seemed doomed and God-for saken there. A pandemonium Doth reign supreme, and mid the tem pest's roar And deafening surf against that cursed shore. Blasphemies rise therefrom That doth above all other noises swell. And seem to spring from out some vent ot hell. W ith reeking sins thus fraught ; With souls repulsive as their bodies are. And feeling that their fates are scaled they dare, And every vileness sought That could in desperation find a vent To lull awhile in wretched pleasure's tent To such, with steady feet. Self-banished, lone, to face despair and gloom, Andbravely bear the leper's feartul doom. Their sins and death to meet Went forth that saintly soul, from kith and kin, A glorious, immortal crown to win. He sought and bore such dearth For sake of fellow mortal's abject plight. And ere his soul to God had taken (light, Those souls to "second birth" Were born and quickened from that hell to rise Reformed and sanctified for paradise. Oh God-like martyrdom ! Thy crown hath shone on many a saintly head, But none whoe'er, with joy, to heaven sped, Such crown more truly won: For none, who e'er were tortured to de fend Their creed is faith, e'er met a noble end. U. B. Gwynn. rOlfGHT AT WINCH ESTEK. The Wilson Advance says the North. Carolina editors thai we are a "touchus" set" and in timates that if any man ever at. tempt tP ridicule them they will conspire together to keep him down when otherwise they might be of great advantage. Such a system of journalism is child's play- it might do for children, but not for seasoned journalists. A professional news paper is a machine that knows friend nor foe where true merit is in need of assistance but boldly gives it. Y.'e never before heard this. The Chatham. Record says: There is an old superstition that if it rains on St. John's day there will be a bad grape crop that year, that every grape will rot that is touched by a drop of rain on that day. If there be any truth in this, there will not be for there Time Servers. How many there are, holding eood paying positions as journey men. who are really of no value unless kept constantly under the eye of the foreman or their em ployer! They are simply time ser vers, who take no interest in the business they represent leyond the actual time necessary to count them a day's work They work when closely watched because they are obliged to, not from any motive of honor or interest in the business. What can be expected of such workmen but they will shirk their work and idle their time at every opportunity? If you cannot give your em ployer your full time for which he pays, and take some in terest in his business, you had Vwter leave him at once. To this he is entitled, and has a right to expect it of you. If your mind is not upon your work, vou cannot expect to ac complish it with any degree of satisfaction to your employer or credit to yourself. The last Legislature made a mistake when it raised the price of marriage licenses from $2.coto $3.00. We believe that marrages should be encouraged, rather than discouraged, and oneway to do spoiled this is to put the fee at the actual cost of issuing the license. Ex. Pimples, Sores, Aetae, Pain.

The party opened fire on him, but they were so far off that the shots failed to take any effect. I He made his escape, and the hunters have been unable to get near enough to him to shoot him since. The party is still in pursuit. And Will not Paw WirouRh the Peniten tiary Wate. Tudire Phillips, who held For- svth court, told the Sentinel a pa thetic incident which occurred at the last term of Surry court it beautifully illustrates the tender sympathy of one old soldier for another who has been unfortunate. In the case of the ' State vs. John Stuart, indictment for lar ceny, the prisoner -appeared in the .court -room, shunting aiong, scarcely able to walk. He wore a soiled check shirt, a very much worn suit and a battered hat. Appearing at States witness were two well dressed, sleek-looking men who clearly showed by their looks that they were deter mined to send the old man to the penitentiary if possible "lias the prisoner any counsel?" asked Judge Phillips. "I have none, your honor," an swered Stuart. "I am a poor man finable to pay an attorney." The indite saw by the man s looks that this was an unusual case and said: "Well, go on and tell your story." "Well sir. 1 was in the Con federate army and at the battle of Winchester. I was shot th rou eh both hips. Since then it has been exceedingly hard for me to surmort mvselt. 1 went to work for this man last year, and worked eight months, upon his promise to board and clothe me and to pay me what my services were worth. During that time he paid me ten cents, with which I bought tobacco. At the end of eight months he refused to pay me any money and refused to give me any clothes, saying that my services were worthless. Then, your honor, I went into his ward ml e, took a suit of clothes to hide my nakedness and left. He had me indicted for larceny and I have been in jail ever since." As the old man finished, a hushed murmer of indignation was heard throughout the court- NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS. THE GIST OF WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT AROUND US.

"Yes, sir." "Were you in the second charge, to the left, on the other side of the tmvn?" The prisoner's face brightened. "Yes," he said, "1 was t litre, Rhodes' division and was shot while crossing the ravine just below the hill " The Judge was certain that the old veteran was telling the truth, hut to he certain lie called the State's witness. While this witness was givin inhis testimony, which was to the effect that the old man's story was about right, but that he re fused to pay him anything be cause his services were worthless, Stuart leaned over to Solicitor Settle. ,"Mr. Settle, he said, "your father and 1 were friends. 1 lived in Rockingham county and your father persuaded tne to enlist in his company. I icceixed my wound while following him. Since then it has leen a hard struggle for me to keep out ot the poor house." By this time Judge Phillips, Solicitor Settle and everybody else in the court -room was -atis-tied that the old soldier had been pitilessly persecuted and the faces ot the old lookers showed the deepest pity and -ympathy for the unfortunate man and ti e blackest indignation for hi heart less employer. ur.

This was willingly done by Mr. Settle Now, he continued, "Judgment is iKiiiMidcil :uul the prisoner is discharged.' Scarcely had the last word been spoken lefore every man in the room applauded, and great tears vvpre seen rohnLf down the cheeks of strongmen. A similar scene nidge rlnllips tells us in- has never seen in the court house. As the old man who, half an hour before had been friendless hobbled out ot the court room, hundreds of men drew around him to shake his hand. Our townsman, Hon. W, B.

Opinions cf State Editor on the Now Dem ocrat le Chairman. It is "devoutly to be wished," that the National Remocratic Executive Committee made no such mistake in the selection bf Calvin S. Brice to be Chair man of that Committee as the same committee made in select ing William H. Barnum as its chairman.-Fayetttville Observer. Calvin S. Brice has been elect ed chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee. We hope no mistake has been made in selecting him, but we are inclined to think that he is too closely allied with the money powers the forces that oppose the Democracy for the selection to be a very wise one. Ex. Calvin S. Brice has been elected chairman of the national . Democratic executive commit tee. He is said to be a low tariff man, and his selection as chair man is pleasing to Mr. Cleveland and to Senator Gorman, who was mentioned tor the place. The committee has moved in the right line in selecting a man who is with the party on the one great dividing question of tariff reform. If the Democratic par ty meaus success let it remem ber Cleveland's declaration and not sacrifice tariff principle to gain it. Ex. The election of Mr. Calvin S. Brice to the chairmanship of the national Democratic committee is generally well received by the Democrats as far as we noticed, and is also well received by "our friends," the enemy," if we may judge by their organs. They say they are delighted. The New York World does not like it, and the Sun is pleased, a somewhat unfavorable indication. It is regarded as a triumph of Mr. Cleveland. If so, we are recon ciled and even gratified. Mr. Brice was not our first choice, but we much prefer him to Gor man or any Protectionist. His management of the campaign, in 1888, was vigorous and active. Wilmington Messenger. A good many of the Dem ocratic papers of the country, The Plant among the number, opposed the proposition to elect Cabin S. Brice chairman of the Democratic national committee, and since his election some of them have still kept up their hostility toward him. Before the choice was made we said we did not think Mr. Brice the pro per man for the place, but the committee. composed of all the States of Union, saw fit to elect him. We suppose they know more about it than we do, so we have nothing more to say against V r. Brice being the chair man of that committee. If the committee have made a mistake it is not for the Democrats to use that mistake to pull down th partv. I h'.rham Plant. Great harmony and confidence 1 haractei ized the opinions and exptitations of the national Democratic committeemen who assembled in New York City on June uth. They elected Calvin S. Brice chairman. Thev should CROUP. WHOOPING COUGH and Bronchitis immediately relieved by Shi loh's Cure, For sale by F. M. Matthews Co., Reidsville, N. C. not have been firmer in their fraternity, or more reliant on the future succe-s of the party, if the contest of last year had brought I hem victory instead of defeat. What is the foundation for this elation under circumstances in which depression would naturally be expected' The answer is simple. The members of the national committee axurately represent the feeling of the Dem ocracy in the States from which thev are respectively accredited, and that sentiment is a unanimous one of piide in the past and assured faith in the future. Siler News. The election of Mr. Calvin S. Price, of Ohio, to the chairman ship of the national Democratic committee, to till the vacancy oc casioned oy tne aeatn or non. Wm. II Barnum, was the natural and proper thing under the cir cumstances. He did not prove himself in the last campaign ouav's equal as a manager, but that was almost his first expe rience in polities. He has ambi tion, ability and zeal and will profit by the mistakes of the past. )ur New York correspondent savs the election or air. once means that the Democratic party will fight the next campaign on the same lines laid down in the last. Why, certainly. The Dem ocratic position on the tariff is not only right of itself and there fore worth fighting ror, but the party is irrevocably committed to the cause of tariff reduction and could not, without disgrace, turn back if it would. No thought of weakness on this line ought ever to be entertained and even those who value success only can give no excuse for it, for the cause itself is righteous and being righetous must ulti mately prevail. Wilmington Messenger. In IlinOivii Coui.tr. The truth of the old adage that a prophet is not without merit save in his own country is made very forcible in its application to yotii.g men in the following timely words of an exchange'. "The man who grows up in his native village is frequently re garded as a boy by his elders uc til he is well" started down the declivity that ends in a hole. "The stranger who comes into a place may or may not be an honest, upright man, but he is oftener pushed to the front than the well known, unostentatious young man, who has grown from boyhood to man's estate without the transition being noticed by his every day companions. This is one reason why so many young mer. become dissatisfied with their home surroundings and long to cast their lot in other quarters." Goldsboro Argus.
