of South Carolina that jailed him
on the charge of embezzelments
and if that be 80, how can Mr..
Cardoza have any love for party
that took from him his honor and
reputation. The only thing that saw
ed Mr.. Cardoza from being rele.
gated to the rear was his resigna-
lion to the Secretary of the Treas
ury Just before Mr.. Cleveland took
his seat, to accept of a position in
our colored High school. The
democratic party understands MIR,
Cardoza, and all the hedging he
can do will not place him in favor
with that party.

A WARNING.

General Sherman, In an article
in the North American REVIEW,
sounds the keynote Of what will
happen to the bloody South one OF
these pretty days. 1t was Lucius
Junius Brutus that played the fool,
until an opportunity presented it.
self to overthrow the House of the
Tarquins. He threw off the yoke
of idiocy he.declared eternal ven.
gence against Roman tyranny and
declared universal liberty to the
oppressed. The Southern colored
people don't intend to tolerate
tyranny much longer; they will
learn how to strike back in a man.
ner that will be injurious to some
body. No truer sentiments ever
fell from the lips of man than the
utterances Of Gen. Shermans. In
speaking of the coIored people, he
says: ''They still form oDe-tenth of

since the world began no higher
virtue was ever exercised than by
these lowly people, who toiled in

the rebel armies ia Virginia and
Georgia. Every Southern gentle

watching these proceedings; they
are watching every member OF

be satisfied until there is change
in the principalship of the High

THE DISTRICT MALITIA.

This is not the first insult Genl.
Ordway has offered the colored
militia of the District. We have
always asserted that the colored
district MALTA made mistake
when they joined the National
Guards. The negro is good
enough when danger threatens the
republic, but when there is quiet
restored and the fessts commence,
the negro militia can come as SER
wants or some other meanals, but
not as guests.
Genl. Ordway can offer no ex-
cuse for not inviting our colored
commissioned officers to his
reception. Major Moore who
is known to be a demo-
crat but one Of the best
friends to the colored people in
this district, would not be guilty
of any discrimination to our color
ed militia. Genl. Ordway is a
republican and all he is to>day
was through the instrumentality OF
the colored people of this district,
He has always pretended to
have great love for the colored
man, but his love is like all others,
when be can use hlm to an advan-
tage. Major Moore is democrat
and when be gave a reception to
the military officers of this Dis.
trict, he had the Hon. Robt. T.
Lincoln, the secretary OF war, as
his special guest. Among the
colored officers present were Maj
G. A. Fleetwood, Adjutant Jud-
son Malvin, Capt. A. Brooks, Col
f. G. ReVells and others. Major
Moore, personally ascertained
from these gentlemen whether
they were being waited upon, if not
he would do the honors himself
Our public oHcers are full OF JUS
such radical republicans as Genl
Ordway and he will please accept
of our utter contempt for him anC
his National Guard organization
The gentlemen named above are
honored and respected by tn,
people Notwithstanding the snul
tiIry nave received IRON
this little commanding officer
General Ordway Of the Dis
trict National Guards. We have
just as much respect for some o
our democrats as we have fol
some republicans and there are
some democrats we care a:
much for as we do some republi
cans. Although we believe in the
supremacy of the republican
party, we are not blind to the
wrongs inflicted upon our people
by those who pretend to be their
friends.

COUNSELS EXCLUDED.

The scheme of Mr.. Cardoza did
not work well. His appeal to the
board of trustees over such re-
putable gentlemen who are inves-
tigating him, will result in his
removal. Trustee Cornish stated
to the board that Cardoza refused
to answer questions. This itself
should cause his immediate re.
moval from the school board.
Col. Holland, counsel for Prof.
Brown, forced Cardoza to run, al
though he declared that he was an
"lgnominus." If little of the ignor-
ance we're removed from the prlnci-
( Ialship of the High school, there
would be an improvement. There
seems to be some of the Cardoza's
South Carolina tactics creeping in
our schools, and we advise the
trustees to make 3 change as soon
as possible. Our schools should
be clear of politicians of the Car
doza stamp. We know that DR..
Francis is very busy; we know
that his professional duties and
sickness in his immediate family
have caused him to lose much
labor, Notwithstanding, we hope
that the Doctor will stick until
this libel is thoroughly 1nvesti-
gated. The success of our High
school greatly depends upon this

Prof. F. L. Cardoza, Secretary
of State of South Carolina during
the reconstruction period, and
principal of the high school at
Washington, D. c., IS one of the
ablest colored men of the country.
He strikes the keynote when he
says, eff the Republican party has
liberated the bodies of the colored
men only to enslave their minds,

TO THE REPUBLICANS

of the 2ud Congressional district of
North Carolina.
FELLOW CITIZENS You are
aware of the controversy existing
in this District between Prof. 81. P.
Cheatham and myself, and you
have seen by the. letters written to
him by me relative to the same
that l have used every honorable
means to properly adjust the mat
ter, thereby assuring the election
OF a colored Republican from this
District 10 the 51st Congress of the
United Stetes, the only chance
whereby the cOlored man can be
directly represented in the legis-
lative halls of this republic.
am mindful that the only in
terests of the contending candidates
are at stake. But thousands of
poor men, women and children are
looking to US as republicans to pro-
tect, as near as possible, their in
terests. Having ascertained by a
canvass of the District and a care
full observation, that neither of US
can be elected if both remain in the
feld-it would be suicidal both to
myself and party for me to longer
continue as candidate.
l look upon the success of the
party as being paramount to that
of any individual. Although 1 am
the nominee of the party, for the
sake of my people, and as a final
resort, | propose to attest the sim
cerity of my former action by with
drawing from the contest.
TO the republicans whose choice
/ am and who believe I am the
rightful nominee, / tender my
grateful thanks for their Jealous
support and assure them that in
withdrawing, | am actuated by no
sinister motive but believe it a
duty which the emergency war
rants.
l trust that those of my friends
who have stood by me will be as
loyal to Prof. Cheatbam, and thus
insure the election of a republican
to Congress from this District.
l have the honor to be, very sin.
cerely, your obedient servant.

ANALYSIS OF SOILS.-Some twenty
five or thirty years ago a few of the more
prominent contributors to the agricultu-
raj press were urging the great importance
of an analysis of the soil of every farm,
in order that the owner might determine
for what kind of crops it was best adapted,
also if it contained too much of any one
substance or too little of another to insure
the greatest fertility. The author of eel
ements of Agriculture" 1854, declared /:
"The farmer cannot be too strongly adj
vised to procure an analysis of his soil,
and for obvious reasons" The "obvious
reasons" however, consisted mainly in
paying a certain clique of self-assumed
chemists S. to $40 for a halfway analysis
of a few ounces of soil. Hundreds of
farmers believed there was something in
the new theoretical agriculture, and paid
their hard-earned cash only to find out
that the analysis of a few ounces of soil
taken from one place on their farm was of
really no practical use in determining the
fertility or barrenness of that which had
not been analysed. If the soil of the en-
tire farm to the depth of one or two feet
could be thoroughly intermingled and
then a ton or more of this analysed, we
might make a very close guess as to the
amount of valuable constituents an acre
contained, or was needed to makethe soil
fertile, or adapted to the growth of certain
kinds of plants. But as the chemist only
proposed to analyze a few ounces of soil,
his work would be little value to the prac-
tical farmer.-NeU York SIN.

THE STARS AND STRIPES.-How many
people remember, or never knew, that the
flag of the United States, under which
Andrew Jackson and WinfeldS Scott fought
in the wal of 1872, consisted of fifteen
stripes and fifteen stars? The original
idea was to add both a star and a stripe for
every new State; but in 1918 a New York
Congressman, named Wendover, suggest
ed that at the rate the United States were
growing the tallest pine tree in Maine
would not make a mast tall enough to
hoist the flag upon.

N THE FARMERS.

It has been said that there is nothing
about which the American will not joke,
and it may be affirmed with equal truth
that there is nothing in life too serious to
be ridiculed by the American newspaper.
So when it is not the sleepy policeman, or
the mother-in-law, or the tipsy husband
who comes home late at night, it is the
American farmer who is made the butt OF
ridicule. One can count on the fingers OF
ones hand those journals which dlscrlml-
nate in their columns between legitimate
humor or wit, and that ill-timed leylty
which makes stun" at the expense OF high
er and better things in our natures. am
glad to see that the Epoch is one OF the
carefully edited papers. o..
This subject may seem trivial, but 1T is
more important than appears at first sight.
Not that the ridicule of the press will in
lure the farmers of the country, but the
constant harping upon the mythical lgno-
rance and follies of this class has a tenden-
CIV to place more rigid barriers between
the city and the country and create caste.
And if any one considers this result desl-
rable, let him tell us how much caste has
helped India in her progress.
So long as the country villages and the
rural districts furnish the boys to make the
merchants and bankers and railroad mag
mates of the city, every true American
should scorn to speak derisively of our ag-
%ricultural population.
One thing is needed in this country and
that is an increased appreciation OF the
real value of patient, %plodding toll. The
average man has somehow formed the
idea that there is something very ludi-
crous in the efforts of men content with
tilling the soil, and working quietly and
humbly in the lowly fields of usefulness;
We, as individuals, and as a nation, need
a better appreciation of the American TAR
mer's life and labors. The time was, per-
haps, when it was thought that any n
had brains enough to be a farmer; but
that time, in this country, at least, is past.
Any useful class of citizens working tor
the advancement of our national welfare,
is not a proper subject for ridicule and
the low humor which finds for its OBJECT
our agricultural laborers is not the best
matter with which to expand our litera-
ture.
It is the duty of the press to do all in its
power to elevate and aid the farmers, and
to spread right ideas concerning their So
cial and intellectual position, n not to
belittle them. There are many who DO
not care what they write. They aim to
construct "readable" articles regardless OF
principle. But surely we ought to expect
better things of our great metropolitan pa
pers, which, from their circulation OF q
their occasional recognition of higher
things, are styled representative Amerl-
can Journals. "-George II. Sargent, IN the
EDOch.

AN EVENING THOUGHT.

AN htEHNAIHo
If I could think our household pet
That left the fold one autumn morn,
Was sleeping in the valley yet,
Across the velvet-tinted lawn
If she were sleeping there to-day,
MY heart would weep its life away.
So cold and black the winter air,
So desolate the drifting snow;
Like demons from their midnight lair,
The winds of winter come and go.
And like a sad and doleful spirit,
Seem singing to my heart tonight.
We laid her meath the lily bloom,
When autumn touched the tender hours,
And scattered Ger the new-made tomb
Her offering of leaves and flowers
And then, it seemed the earth and sky
We're whispering, ''Tis lifetime to die"
Now, gathered at the festal board,
Where nightly all the dear ones meet,
NY fearful eyes, I know not why,
Are resting on a vacant seat,
And where the winds of winter blow,
Nv heart is underneath the snow.
A breath of fragrance comes to me;
Again I feel a loving hand
In mine, and like sweet minstrelsy
A voice from the summerland-
"Nor storm, nor winter sweeps the shore
Where I shall dwell forever more"

THE RAIN.-We are in the habit of al
lowing ourselves considerable complaint
about the rain, and then of excusing the
complaint on the ground that long-contin-
ued rain tends to make everything sodden
and unhealthy, not to say foul and rotten.
But on the contrary, science declares the
rain to be great feature of wholesomeness
in a climate, whether it is a nuisance or
not. A steady down pour not only carries
away filth and decay, but removes the
gases that arise from them, and purifes the
air as we'll as washes the earth. To be
sure, perpetual mists and dampness may
perform an i'll Office in the natural eceno-
mics, but the ''gentle trouble of the rain"
when frequent and brief, is only cleansing,
