WHO ARE THEY?

An exchange says, an editorial in
the State Chronicle is SO apt at the
present time, and goes to prove SO
we'll the idea we have advanced often
that we reproduce it in full. 1t reads
on this wise:
The question has been asked the
Chronicle. 'Who are the leaders of
the Third Party in North Carolina?
How have they been voting IN the
past?
This is q timely inquiry. It is
information that the people ought to
have, and which we gladly furnish.
DR.. d. w. c.. Benbow and Prof
w. F. Steele are the leaders of the
Third Party, being Chairman and
Secretary of the Executive Commit
tee, and the chief authors, promoters,
agitators of the Third Party move
ment Both of them are Radicals
Both hate Democracy. Both of them
are seeking to injure the Democratic
party by this Third Party movement.
Everybody who knows that he has
always, until he joined the Third
Party. been u Radical Of the deepest
dye. When he saw that he could
best serve Radicalism by joining the
Third Party, he joined it He
became Chairman Of the Executive
Committee of the Third Party.
Prof. W. F. Steele. the Secretary
of the Third Party Executive Com
mittee, came to Greensboro from
Massachusetts to teach negro
school in that place If he felt that
it was his duty to teach a negro
school, he had and has a perfect
right to do So Certainly the Chron-
icle would not criticize him for doing
what he conceived to be his duty.
If he believes in social equality, as
has been evidenced by his social
with negroes, that is his
own matter. Ii his wife introduced
to ladies in Greensboro, and
for that reason they have visited
her no more, we have nothing to say
about that. She is free woman
and can do as she pleases. 1t he
voted the Republican ticket all his
life until he joined the Third Party.
as he admits, we have nothing to /
say about that. He had a perfect !
light to choose his own and his wife's /
and to vote as he pleased. |
But the Chronicle does say this:
That the thoughtful white men of
North Carolina will not join any
party which has such man as Sec
etary of its Executive Committee

SENATOR VOORHEES, AT
ASHEVILLE.
[Plant, 17th.]


This great Democratic orator and
wise, broad-minded statesman, made
a ringing speech at Asheville last
Monday. The time for giving notice
was short, but the news was assidu
ously circulated. and at an early hour
Monday morning large crowd,
composed Of Ashevillians and many
hundred from the country, assem-
bled to hear Senators VOORHEES, and
Butler.
The Asheville Citizen gives a full
report Of the speech of Senator Voor
hees, and there are two things in it
to which The Plant wants to direct
attention. Here is one:
Morton, Bliss & Co., of which firm
Levi P. Morton is the senior partner,
are now suing the people Of North
Carolina for the recovery Of these
bonds. A brace of Wall street bro
kers, bankers, and sharks. Morton
bought these bonds at a time when
they would not bring fifteen cents on
the dollar, and is now suing in the
Supreme Court Of the United States
for their full face value. What a
spectacle Morton standing with
one hand open saying to the people
of North Carolina, pay me those
bonds, dollar for dollar and the
other hand extended, saying, give
me your vote p"
We seem to forget that fact. Are
We so careless that we do not even
give thought to the ruinous results
that must flow to us if the Republi-
can party gets control of the State
and pays these bonds? Are any
North Carolinians so regardless Of
their own interests as to vote for a
man who stands. as Senator VOORHEES,
says, with one hand stretched out
or your money and the other for your
voter How can we sit still? How |
AN we loaf in the shade, or rest at
lome or carelessly take a vacation,
when such issues are presented to
IS? Let every man who feels the
oulsations of free and manly heart,
esolve to rouse himself and help
destroy the Republican party. Our
iberties are menaced as long as that
party has a chance to win. Can we
lot this year utterly ruin its hopes?
Another thing Senator VOORHEES,

The American business man has had his
wits so sharpened with keen competition in
trade that he never loses the least opportu-
nifty to turn a dollar. This was forcibly il
lustrated by second hand furniture dealer
the other day A woman purchased some
very nice new furniture on the installment
plan and fitted up boarding house on one
of the principal streets of the city. But
business not coming up to her expectations
she skipped and left the furniture in the
house The second hand dealer was struck
with a capital idea to turn few dollars into
his pocket. He purchased the furniture and
extensively advertised it to be sold at auc-
tion in the house on certain day. Before
the day of the sale he oiled and vanished a
large amount of second hand furniture he
had in his own store, and after giving it the
appearance of new furniture, placed it in the
house

Every white man who has served under
the explorer Stanley speaks of his remark
able taciturnity In the years he was found
ing the Congo state stations he kept all his
plans to himself, and his assistants seldom got
an inkling of them until they were ordered
to carry them out Lieut. Coquilhat gives a
curious instance of this characteristic. Quite
contrary to his usual custom Stanley one day
offered Coquilhat his choice in the director
ship of one of two proposed stations that
were TO be started at Lulanga and Ba Ngala.
He told the Lieutenant that Lulanga was the
center of a large and friendly populace,
while the Ba-Ngala, though the most power
full tribe on the river, were audacious and If
ritable, and his life would be in danger
among them unless he acted with great dis
cretion Coquilhat told his leader to put hin
where he could be most useful. Stanley sale
nothing more, but Coquilhat soon after re
ceived marching orders. Up the river they
started on their little steamer, and though
Coquilhat wondered greatly what station HI
was to take in charge, Stanley did not drol
the slightest hint. 1t was not until after sew
eral days travelling the steamer passed Lu

ARTIST BEARD AND CROWLEY.
How the Anthropoid Ape Tried to Atone
for His Nicked Temper,

for His Wicked Temper.
The best known picture of Mr.. Crowley,
the late chimpanzee represents him sitting
in an arm chair with skulls and books
about him as he debates within himself the
possibilities of the Darwinian theory and of
metempsychosis. 1t was painted in 1885 by
Mr. ]. Fl. Beard of the National academy.

Beard to a reporter, the other day, makes
me believe that he had a mental ability that
came very near to reason. had made many
sketches and studies of him for several weeks,
and had thus formed quite friendship for
him. He knew me well, and used to shout
greeting whenever entered his room. On
the day of Gen. Grants funeral, there being
but few visitors in the park, Superintend
