MY LADY.

My lady is sweet and tender, and the charm of her
preseEcs Fingers
In the sun-warmed room of the air where she kisses
my lips and goes;
And my cheeks are all aglow with the touch of her
dainty fingers.
And my lips sealed for love OF her, but sho
knows, my lady knows.
My lady is true and tender Ahl my heart 50 saunch
and tender
And am weak and TRUSTEES as the widest wind
that blows
But love to watch my lady, as love to watch the
splendor
That burns in regal glory in the exquisite heart Of
the rose
She knows my faults and folles. and the love that
grows and folds them,
And she gathers the careless words speak and the
pain that with them goes,
And close to her dainty bosom my dainty lady holds
them,
AS she might the morns and fragrance OF q passion
ate summer rose.
Sometime tho rose will wither, and tho thorns that
live forever
Alone she will wear in her bosom, whore the leaves
are curled and dead;
But the thorns she will take my lady the thOrns that
live forever,
And weave them into garland to crown her dainty
head.

white Democratic counties, cannot
have the least influence in tho
selection of school commissioners who
are to select the teachers for the public
schools. There is not n Democratic
county in the State in which tho Demo-
Gratis can say which of their fellow citi-
zens shall be trusted with tho taxes they
pay into the county treasury, or who of
their number shall audit or pay claims
against it. The ballot-boxes are closed
as tightly against Democrats as against
negroes.
We are told that this same system
prevailed before the war. OF course
1t did, For that was the time
when few arrogant, selfappointed
aristocrats in every Southern State
claimed the right 10 rule over the masses
of the white people, and had as little re-
gard for their wishes and opinions as
they now have for those of the negro.
They kept the people ignorant because
they despised them, and then deprived
them of county governments Of their own
for the very reason now assigned by them
for the Eastern counties, viz that the
voters were not intelligent enough to be
trusted. The negro of to-day is not more
despised by the Bourbon than were the
poor whites in former times or, as Sem
ator Hammond, of South Carolina, called
them in a speech in the Senate, "the
mudsills of society"
Let us hope that the North Carolinapeo-
pie now are ripe for the revolt which man
hood requires of them. OF small conse-
quence is the liquor question, or the rela-
tive positions of Republicans at the

of the State committee, or who is fire.

one object for which every North Caro-

should now strike is the right of self

The Tariff,

One of the Democratic orators in the
recent campaign in Maine undertook the
task of manufacturing votes for his party
by assaulting the Republican doctrine of
protection. The substance of what he
said was about as follows:
"You fellows down in Maine are shipbuilders.
You know how to build ships, and build good ones,
and you can build them Just as good and just as
cheaply as they do or can in England or any other
place. The reason why you don't build any now,
and the reason why your yards are shut and your
carpenters idle, and your calkers and painters are
struggling to get something to do to earn bread is
not that you cannot build ships at reasonable
figure, but because the aocursed Republican tariff
has destroyed commerce, and hence there is moth
ing for ships to do The tariff makes goods cost so
much that they cannot be imported, and hence
ships are not wanted 10 bring goods into the
country, and not being wanted they are not built
Very well. tits important to know that
a Democratic tariff or free trade means a
heavy increase ofimported manufactures
In order to make ship building good in
Maine the imports must exceed the ca
pacity of the British, German, and French
steamship lines to do the business. So
much is plain.
Is it not equally plain that if enough
more goods are imported to give employ
ment to the ships that may be built in
Maine, the demand for homemade goods
must fall off in consequence just in pro-
portion to the supply furnished by for
oinrurns; OF II snip %nf give" embt5yfhthf
to one hundred men for six months, and
said ship when built will make six voy-
ages year for fifteen years, and at each
voyage will bring the result of the labor
ofon hundred men for six months to
compete with home labor in manufac-
tured goods How will the account stand
then? Obviously her first voyage will
cancel the labor Of the builders by intro
ducing competing labor to the same
amount as the labor bestowed upon the
building of the ship, and then she has
five moro voyages to make in that year
and eighty-four in the succeeding years,
which is equivalent to supplying the
country with the labor of twelve hun
dred men each year of the service of the
ship and depriying our own laborers of
work and wages to the same extent.
Thus, gain to the country, 100 mems
labor. Loss to laborers, $4,000 mems
labor. And this is the way the average
Democratic statesmen propose to find
work and wages for the mechanics of the
country.

Hungarian VS.. American Wheat.

The Department OF State has been notified by
Consul Sterne, of Budapesth, that, contrary to
general expectation, the price of wheat instead of
being well sustained at s12O per bushel has
fallen to Sl.15, and even at this decline the ex-
port which had opened under flying colors Is
dragging. and there is every probability of still
further reduction. This change is principally
caused by the reports from the United States of
abundant crops and immense shipments Of grain.

Cats are being shot at the rate of half dozen
week in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and Chief Engi-
neer Colyer has given orders to exterminate them
many cats that have grown almost wild in the
park. Every effort is made to preserve the Ameri-
can birds there, but they are growing fewer be-
tween the attacks of the cats and of the English
sparrows. The park policemen shoot the cats on
sight, but the sparrows do not so easily fall VIC
tins either to the cats or to the policemen. The
most of the cats that infest the park are dropped
there by visitors anxious to get rid of them.

WHEN Bourbon talks about "the
white people" he only means the white
Bourbons. The negro Jack Turner was
accused of "unrelenting hatred to the
white people," but he only hated those
who hated and hunted and finally mur-
dered him. The Bourbons try to make
the North believe that the people South
are divided on the color line. This is un-
true. 1t is the political line. A Bourbon
knife nestles in its sheath, not at sight of
a man of different color from its owner,
but man who entertains different politi-
cal opinion.
