loptCid1 COI CIAIE tHttONiCl-E
For the close observer who frequents a
railroad train a vast amount of interesting
and also amusing information is always in
store. And indeed even in our quiet State
(of "mummies') the goer about from place
to place sometimes meets with some mem
orable experiences.
For instance, the writer arrived in Raj
eigh few days ago, and as he was walk
ing up from the depot to his stopping place
near by he observed that he was about to
meet young man just ahead of him. He
was all over representative of that class
known familiarly as the shabby genteel. -
Comparatively we'll dressed, slouch hat
which looked as if it might have gone
through the war, a pair of shoes to which
blacking had probably been applied about
last summer, and a ponderOus watch chain
of doubtful metal, these composed the ex
terror make up of the young gentleman.
He had a sort of sad expression about the
face ard even at the first glance could
not help thinking that this young man in
his day has been considerably left" He
was remarkably skillful in the use of his
tongue and as he approached me he said
Excuse me, sir, but can | speak with you
few minutes?' Certainly" | replied,
surveying him with sort of suspicion.
"Ain't you college student?" he asked.
''Yes," l answered. ''Well," he said, II
want to talk to you. l thought maybe
you were a student, and you know there's
always sort o. fellow feeling between
college boys. Now I'm in a little bit of
trouble and I'm sure you'll help me out a
little, for we are both college boys You
see, a few days ago several of us were ex-
PEELED from Princeton and are now on our
way home We got to Raleigh,-I got

The idea flashed upon me instantly that
this fellow has hatched out a pretty good
plan to swindle, so | concluded that We
had better part company without the usua

and we parted, DARGYN.

ton and tension, and naturally enough it
burns up sooner, or, in other words, men
working seven hours to-day do Us much as
the men who labored fourteen houis years
ago.
In consequence of reduction of work
ing hours more har1s must be hired. and
the wages naturally increase, FOX the pro
duct of the labor Is much larger. Eight
hours work of high efficiency does more
than fourteen Of cheap labor.
The capitalists must surrender as before,
unless they, too, organize as they are do
ing. The meeting of the street ear rail
road presidents at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
to form a street car pool to resist the de
mands of their men is only an example of
the way the combination and pool system
is extended. Already there are oil com
binations, railroad pools, coal, cotton,
iron, wheat, lumber and other comblna-
tions to extort high prices and depress the
price of labor.
There was published in the Star few
days ago an account of tie formation Of
an association of capitalists for mutual
protection not alone for their properties,
but their lives 1t is certain that such an
association has been formed 10y the most
tiInid rich men of New York. The cattle
men in the West and South have formed a
ike aSSOclatfOn- me cigar ilauul dcluFeFS
have formed IA union. The mill owners of
New England are a solid body of men con
stituted to crush labor. There are to day
four railroad pools, and in few days
there will be but one. The mine owners
of Pennsylvania have formed union and
SO also have the large coal buyers and sell
lers. The cloak manufacturers, the steel
rail manufacturers, the iron mongers, all
rave unions 1t was in this way labor or
ganized in the beginning, but the quicker
Drained men of money have already
brought their plans allno It to maturity.
1t will need only the uniting OF these
pools and combinations to make as solid a
wall of capital as organized labor is becom-
ing Mutual advances and cross proposals
have been made. Labor needs strong
pledges and fast ties, for when a mans
wife and child are hungry, it is hard for
him to keep from bidding under his fellow
workman. Capital needs only an orga-
nized understanding. The capitalist can
not starve. He wins by waiting Though
many capitalists have not yet entered into
it, the scheme for the alliance of capital is
already begun

1 AM PASSING AW AY.

Ex Governor Holden has shown us the
manuscript of the following lines, written
by him in January, 1888. He was then in
his twentieth year. AS he informs US, he
came to Raleigh from Hillsborough in Oc-
tober, 1886, and worked four years IN the
office of the Raleigh Star. He has, there
fore, been in Raleigh fifty years.
1 am passing away, I am passing away,
Soon my body shall mix with valley clay,
But my spirit, oh where shall its viewless
form
Repose when the wild and tossing storm
OF life is Ger ?-Oh where shall it go,
To sunlight above or to night below?
Can ye tell me ye winds that go moaning
along,
For We caught the last note of the dying
And still watt it on: o say, can ye tell
Where the lone spirit went when the frail
body fell
The winds have not told Can the wide
The soul that must like it still wander nor
sleep?
My caverns and bed hold the wrecks of those
forms,
That once gladdened earth, but the spirit
ne'er warns
Nor enlivens them now alone meath the wave
Unremembered they sleep in their deep coral
Ye waves of the shoreless ocean above,
Does the spirit ne'er pause like the patri-
arch'S dove,
And pant for its rest where your soft dewy
light
Is caught from the beams Of the morning so
bright
Our course is forever the bright isles among
OF the air, and we fade meath the rosy beam
flung
From the flaming air king. May the spirit
ascend
To these heights as from earth with the
HghtningS we blend
Ye altars of freedom We thrones Of the storm
Whose wild glens are haunted by shadowy
| At midnight, oh tell from your brows so gray
| Where the spirit shall dwell when its earth
| fades away,
| We have looked DER the world from our
curtains of cloud,
And our voices have swelled with the thun-
| derbOlt loud
| Or been hushed into silence at death shrieks
that ran
Through the valleys below since time began
| The deluge we felt, as the all sweeping main
Rolled upward and onward its myriads OF
| slain,
| We heard a low groan blend with each an
/ CRY swell,
But we saw not the soul when the frail body
fell.
| have asked of the winds and they answer
ed me not,
And the ocean groaned back that it's deat
are forgot,
And the storm troubled clouds have asked
if the soul
May upward ascend from the body's control
| The mountains have whispered in low hOl
low gales
| OF sounds that forever arise from the wales
They have felt the rough surge of the en-
shrouding deep,
And heard the wild moan, and the angr,
| wave sweep,
But winds, clouds, nor ocean, nor mountain
| can tell
Where the lone spirit went when the frai
body fell.

AID, NOT CRITICISM, WANTED.
A Sensible Young Woman Writes in
Vindication OF Mr.. Page.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
If your columns are not too full of more
valuable matter, viii you allow a few words
in vindication Of Mr.. Page That his at
tack upon North Carolina is fierce and in
some respects unjust, we do not pretend
to deny, but we do assert that there is a
great deal of ruth III i, and tbs the truth
that hurts.
There are many who bodily declare that
Mr.. Page expresses himself SO strongly,
because he failed to attain success as a
Journalist here. Some eight years ago, at
the Chapel Hill Normal School, the writer
well remembers hearing him make the
statement that North Carolina offered to
her young men no inducement to walk in
the paths of Literature. At that time he
was 4 young man, fresh from German
University, with an untried life before
HIM, and certainly free from any imputa-
ton of bitterness caused by disappointed
ambition.
The remarks referred to We're made to
the teachers Of North Carolina with view
to awaken them, and through them to
stimulate the intellectual development of
the State. The writer, with many others
remembers, with gratitude, the mental
stimulus received from him, and believes
him to be actuated by sincere desire to
promote the welfare of our dear old State.
We think, however, that he is greatly
mistaken in saying that she goes back
wards and not forward in these things.
Those who have been teachers for the past
twenty years, know that she is advancing
slowly but surely The vast improvement
in our public schools, the higher, and even
higher standard in our private schools and
colleges, as well as the increased numbers
who seek broader culture in foreign
lands, prove that she is not asleep, but up
and doing; and we think that such men as
DR.. Battle and oIhers who move cautiously
and prudently ought not to be stigmatized
as mummies and old fogies, because they
do not rashly undertake to establish an
Industrial School, until they see the way
clear to support it creditably.
Then too, the man who raises such an
outcry against intellectual blindness ought
| to be careful to use good English, and not
! indulge in the use of such words as flap
doodle, nor of such expressions as this
''It is not enough for a judge to be dis
| honest, he must be man as nobody car
even suspect"
'Tis but too true that many of oul
brightest young men fill drunkard's graves
but, we ask, is that peculiar to North Car
| olina? Are there no dram shops in New
| York? Has she no wives and mother.
whose hearts are wrung by the demon o

To PREVENT EMIGRATION.
w ants to Build Il Wall Around the State

Especial Cor. STATE CHRONICLE.
STATEsvILLE, n. c., March 16, Sc There
is no denying the fact that the organized
action of many citizens of other States,
South and West, to induce emigration
from North Carolina, of large bodies of
colored laborers, viii, in a few years, tell
iniuriously against the productive labor of
prosperity. Chiefly, the wealth of a State
or country is based upon its efficient and
productive labor-the farming interests
being the keystone of The arch-which
likewise sustains its manufacturing inter-
ests-the two constituting the sphere of its
prosperity This is a fact not be contro-
verted, The taking away, thus, the labor
of the State, in any form, white or black,
entails public injury to the common
wealth. 1t is generally considered by po
litical economists that the addition of every
new ablebodied citizen to States popu
lation is equal to one thousand dollars;
and if that be so, will the loss by removal
be much lesss Admitting this theory to
be correct, or approximately so, how great
has been the loss to North Carolina by
emigration the past half century
But the subject under consideration is
different and a growing evil that calls for
legislation to abate and control, which, as
l conceive, can be done as follows: Pass
law imposing tax of S., 900 or $40, 600,
more or less, to be paid by every resident
or nonresident of the State who enters the
pursuit of engaging laborers to emigrate
from the State,-imposing heavy pen
atty for violation of the law, which will
afford some compensation for the loss sus-
tanned, it would put a stop to it. There
| can be no question as to the authority OF
| the legislature over the Subject-quite as
much as to license mercantile agents, tax
fertilizing companies, &c.

sensationalist, who subOrdinates even the
sacredness of religion to the bizarre and
grotesque, in order to procure for himself
a cheap nOtoriety." These two papers
have information concerning Rev. sam
Jones which has not come to our knOwl-
edge if they can feel justified in thus com
menting upon his motives and methods.
We have watched the reports of his work,
both as to its manner and results, with
great care not forgetting at any time the
sobriety and impartiallty of the writers
upon whose judgments we have based our
conclusion, and our conviction is that our
esteemed contemporaries have either been
unduly prejudiced against the evangelist
or are incorrectly informed about his style
and conservation. The finest scholars and
most competent judges of successful.
preaching in the land have borne testimony
to his superb preaching powers and rare
devotion to his work. The more widely
famed evangelist, Rev. D. l.. Moody. who
has moved and melted with unsurpassed
power both the faculties and students at
Oxford, Cambridge and other centres Of
learning and refinement, has a style not
much dissimilar to that of Mr.. Jones and
is much less master of English language,

power and qualified to be abundantly use

sorry they made this fling at Mr., Jones

that elevates, refines and saves.
