The Workingmen held two rati-
fication meetings last night, one at
the MERGED Theatre and the other
at Stearns's Hall. About 100 per.
sons were present at the latter, in.
Guiding Judge Thompson and Mr..
West. two of the candidates. Mr..
West made a speech, giving his
adhesion to the platform promul-
gated by the Joint Farmers and
Workingmen's Convention, but re-
fusing to subscribe to any pledge.
This excited considerable discus
sion, a number taking the ground
that all the candidates must take
the pledge adopted by the Work
ingmen of this city, while others
held that Mr.. West, being the rep.
resentative of the Farmers, they
had no right to impose any test
other than support Of the Joint
platform. At this juncture dep
utation from the MERGED Theatre
meeting came in, the spokesman
of which stated that the
theartre meeting had adopt
ed u resolution requiring oil the
candidates to take the State pledge.
This was fresh firebrand, and was
followed by another excited debate.
Mr.. West again got the floor and
emphatically declined to subscribe
to any pledge and rendered his res
ignation. A motion was then
made to ratify the nominations.
On q vote being taken the nomi-
nees were confirmed, Mr.. West
again rendering his resignation, to
which no attention was paid. After
the vote DR.. Luppo announced that
the funds of the party were exhaust
ed, the Voice of the People having
used up all the money they had land
suggested that picnic be given to
replenish the treasury to meet
campaign expenses. A committee
will be hereafter appointed to make
the necessary arrangements for
this purpose.
We have heretofore noted the
pleasant features of the Spanish
American Benevolent Society's
Picnic at Agricultural Park, last
Sunday. La Refornaa, of Thurs
day, says: 1--WE give, in continue

The late Thomas H. Benton who SO
long in public life and surrounded by
temptations, paid the following tribute
to his mother:
"My mother asked me never to use
any tobacco. and have never touched
it from that time to the present day she
asked me not to game, and | have not,
and / cannot tell who is winning or who
is losing in games that can be played.
She admonished me, too, against hard
drinking, and whatever capacity for en-
durance l may have at present and what
ever usefulness l may attain in life, l
attribute it to having complied with her
pious and correct wishes. When l was
seven years of age she asked me not to
drink, and then l made a resolution of
total abstinence, at time when / was
sole constituent member of my own body,
and that | have adhered to it through
all the time, owe to my mother.

CONCERT AT BLIND INSTITUTE.

The entertainment last night by the pupils
of the Blind Institute, under the direction
of DR.. Langley and his accom- plished
daughters, was a musical and literary treat
to all who had the good fortune to be pres
ent. Toe exercises in vocal and instrument
tai music, dialogues, recitatiOns, and
readings from raised print, were all entered
into with zest by the pupils, and were high
ly appreciated by the au Hence, which
| included many members of the Legislature.
The recitation of "Hagar in the Wilderness p
by Florence Graves, was alone worth going
a very long distance to hear.
The only drawback TO the general success
of the evening was the insufficient accom-
mOdations for visitors. We hope the concert
will be repeated at Angeles Hall where
the public generally may have an opportu-
nifty of witnessing the great proficiency
which the pupils of our Institute for the
Blind are making in literature and music.
The force of the very earnest appeal
of the Trustees and Superintendent of
this Institution, for a more suitable
home for our unfortunate blind was
apparent to all who were persent at
the concert last night, aud will be still
more evident to any of our Legislators who
will take the trouble to examine the premi
ses. The building is old and dilapidated,
and being of wood, is especially unsafe for
the blind We were pleased to hear several
Senators and Representatives express them
selves in favor of immediate action in this
matter. And in this connection, we under
stand that the Helm property, near the Bap-
fist Church, could now be purchased on
favorable terms, and the location and build
ings would be suitable. The present Ins
stitute property could be sold for residence
lots, and would contribute materially to
wards the purchase of the Helm property,
or any other that might be found suitable.
The insane and the deaf and dumb, are we'll
provided for. Now let our blind have a
safe and comfortable home and large enough
to shelter aud educate scores of others who
are now kept from the institution for the
want of room.

it thinks 1.-THE tone of THE CLARION dictate
rial.n Now, we have heard of "pulling the
beam ont of ones own eye in order that
we might see more clearly to take the beam
out of our brothers eye" and here is case
in which the scriptural injunction is appli-
cable. Does the Mercury not see that its
tone towards THE CLARION is slightly die
tatorjal ~ And If the manners of THE
CLARION need modification in this direc-
ton in the eyes of the Mercnrg, how Is it.
with regard TO the Mercury, in theeyes of The
CLARION /? The question Is whether the
CLARION shall have the privilege of exercis-
ing the right Of every Independent journal
70 speak or be silent when It plea les, or
whether it must ask the permission of the
Mercury when it wants to talk For our part
we do not wish TO see the CLARION gagged, y
aud We enter our protest against it. Its
position at the seat of Government gives IL
facilities for acquiring correct Information

Oh, no. there is no flaming hell
Said the Universalist bell:
Look up 20 heaven this molly day,
Attend this church and learn the way;
There are no fires, no friends to blight
The hope within the heart that's right;
No he'll no hell no hel1i no hell
Do well! do WE'LL do wel1l do wells
Said the Unitarian bell;
Come here and cast aside your load,
AID work your way along the road,
With faith in God and faith in man,
And hope IN Christ where hope began;
Do we'll! do well do weHl do WE'LL
Said the Unitarian bell.
Swelll SWELL swell SWELL ye waters, swell
Exclaimed, in peals, the Baptist bell;
While faith in Christ alone can save,
Man must be plunged beneath the wave,
10 show the world unfa ltering faith
In what the sacred scripture saith,
swell! swell swell! swell! ye waters, swell
exclaimed, in peals, the Baptist bell,
FAREWELL FAREWELL base world, farewelli
Cried out the Presbyterian bell;
Life is a boon, to mortal given,
And there is nothing true but heaven;
Do not provoke the ayenging rod
Come here and learn the will Of God;
FAREWELL farewell! base world, farewell!
Cried the Presbyterian bell.
We tell the truth! we tell! we tell
Shouted the Methodistic bell;
One Lord has made salvation free,
None need be lost on land or sea
Repent, believe, have hope, and then,
Be saved, and praise the Lord-Amen
The truth we tell we tell we tell

This is the ehurch-nOt built on sands
Emblem of one not built with hands;
It's forms and rules, and rites revere
And worship here-come worship here;
Excel in faith and works, excell
Chimed the Episcopalian bell.
Look down. ye saints, in heaven that dwell
Shouted the Roman Catholic bell;
Lean o er the battlements of bliss,
And deign to bless a world like this;
Let mortals kneel before this shrine,
Here is the water, here the wine
Look down, ye saints, in heaven that dwell!
Exclaimed the Roman Catholic bell
Der city's streets or hillside dell
Ring on each Heaven-assuring bell
Press forward, pilgrims, TO the shrine
OF Calvary and Palestine;
These paths that lead through earthly dross,
All meet at last beneath the Cross.
The Christian does not fear the kneI,
As angels toll the funeral bell.

THE Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says that the sentiment
among Democratic members of Congress is
overwhelmingly opposed to any idea OF
making Mr.. Tilden the Presidential nomi-
nee in 1SS0.-EXchange.
To begin with, the manufacturing of
Presidents by members of Congress has
long since been done away with. 1t
was to get rid of this species of dictation
thai the two parties adopted the National
Convention system. A majority of the
States in their determination to be rid of
it efeetualIy, made rule in appointing
delegates not to select members of Con-
gress. Mississippi has adhered rigidly
to this rule. As to the other point, who
is to be the nominee, it is rather too
early to determine. Mr.. Tilden has had
his opportunity and it will never come
back to him. five were given to 'Eguess-
ing" we would venture to predict that
the next Democratic nominee will be a
Western man and that his name is.

The report Of the Commissioners for De-
cember was presented on Monday. The to-
tai number of registers is twenty-fi five alco-
holic and five malt.
For the upper district the whole number
of registrations from fifteen alcoholic regis
tiers was 1886; tax 1913 so. From three
malt registers 979; tax 81 SO. In excess Of
one gallon, 21a gallons; % cents. Total tax
1923 As.
For the lower district, from ten alcoholic
registers, 77l4 registrations; tax, $2l7 II.
From two malt registers, 637 registrations
tax 50 6S. In excess of ohe gallon. II 7-12
gallons; tax, 81 81. Total, 1921 IS, The
largest number of alcoholic registrations
at one place was 2l54; the smallest 284.
The total tax in the county was $500 81.
The total cost of the assessment and col
lection OF this tax is 10 per cent.-Gazette.
A good return.
If each county makes as good vicl J, the
Moffett register viii prOpU@e annually
81, 100000. But this is not to be expected.
1tths of the registers in this city are
malt, where's in Charlotte and other coun-
ties not more than One-siXth are malt.
Nevertheless, the prospect is that the new
law will produce at least 100000.

Better shan "A EseH Punch.

A patent has been obtained Tor a
method of collecting taxes upon drinks,
which is far better than the Moffet or
Clarke register. 1t is that the State
Auditor shall have prepared a book of
coupons to be sold to all bar-rooms and
liquor dealers generally. When the
dealer sells drink, the consumer re-
ceives a coupon which entities him to re-
ceive from the State, in payment of his
taxes, one cent. If two drinks are to be
paid for, he receives a coupon printed on
orange paper, good for two cents. If
five drinks, blue paper good for five
cents. Not only does the State enjoy an
income from the tax on drinks, but a
man who drinks has reasonable chance
of paying off his taxes with the orange
and blue coupons. The saloons will be
perpetually crowded with men working
out their taxes.

The CLARION was elected State Printer
without any formidable opposition. This is
a deserved compliment to the CLARION pro-
prietors. There is no doubt they have rem
dcred great service in economiZing the ex-
penses of printing done for the State, and
have steadily advocated a reduction of ex-
penditures in the administration of the State
Government.-Pascago Star.
The opposition to the CLARION was insig-
niticant. 1t was elected on the first ballot
by an overwhelming vote, deserved ac-
acknowledgements by the Legislature of the
true worth of the proprietors, aud of their
devotion to the interests of the State and
the great reform party of the land. Our
Representatives voted right in this matter
and we commend them for it.-Ashland
Rising Sun.
We congratulate our friends upon their
re- election to the Office of State Printer.
No more worthy gentlemen, no more de-
serving journal could have received the
award.-Canton Mail.
A disposition is exhibited in Radi-
cal quarters to cavil at the remuner-
alton given by the State to our distin-
guished and deserving contemporary, the
jackson CLARION, for public printing. We
are free to say, and we believe we know
whereof we speak. that the price now paid
is as low as is consistent with an honest
and efficient discharge of the duties OF Pub
lie Printer.-Handsboro Democrat.

PRAYER.-Mr Tennyson has written
some beautiful things about prayer. In
his "Harold" he makes Edith say:
God help me! l know nottingham but
pray
For Harold-pray, pray, pray,-no help but
prayer,
A breath that fleets beyond this iron world
Aud touches Him that made it.
That is exquisite. 1t reminds us of
the saying, prayer moves the hand
that moves the world" Perhaps the
poet laureate got his idea from it

Canon Farrar Ou Everlasting
Punis ameRG.

Cannon Farrar recently delivered 6
sermon in Westminster abbey concern
ing future punishment, which has been
extensively commented on both in Eng
land and this country. An exaggerated
account Of his statements having been
made, DIR. Farrar sent the following
communication to the Guardian about
the matter:
SIR-Since many complete misrepre-
sensations of the language and purport
of a sermon which | recently preached
in Westminster abbey have found their
way to public notices, | am reluctantly
compelled to trepass upon your courtesy.
[ will, however, confine myself to the
correction of one erroneous statement.
To say, as these reports have done, that
[ denounced the doctrine of eternal
punishment" or expressed q hope that
the word eternal, might not appear in
the Revised translation, is, as most of
your readers will have seen at a glance,
utter nonsense, The object of my ser
mon was to prove that the word "eter-
naP did not necessarily connote 'Fendless-
ness" and at the same time to vindicate
that faith IN the possible effects of
Christ's infinite redemption even be-
yond the grave which seems to be most
expressly stated in the text from which
preached q Pet. iv. g.. Neither the
Anglican, nor even believe) the Rom
ish church, has dogmatically decided
against the pernissibility of such hope;
and-as is known TO all the students of
church history-it has been widely held
in different ages, both by the very emf
nent fathers and theologians, and by
some of the hottest of the saints of God.

cription of lands, etc., in Arkansas; Mr..

IT has been said that to conquer is to
advance. If, then, loiter for one mo-
ment on the road to perfection, the world
and the flesh get the better of me, and
turn back. God besides, gives his grace
in proportion to the efforts that l make.
It bury the talent that God confides to

if increase its value, God will double
it. Therefore / advance in wisdom, and
| shall advance in wisdom, in proper
ton as advance in grace. These two
