Plain Talk.

This win be year Of great politi.
eal activity, as all years are when .
President is to be elected. Both par
tiss ere now marshallng their hosts
and hot aud bitter times may be ex-
pected in North Carolina and Virgin
Ia for these, we think are debatesble
grounds.
Mr.. Cleveland is the recognized
leader and be is pre-eminently high
in the confidence Of the people. But
Notwithstanding his great popularity,
there isa possibility Of defeat. 1t i
better 10 look the matter square in the
face before, than after the election
Too much confidence is most surely
fatal.
1t is in the power Of the Democrat.
10 majority in the House to make Mr..
Cleyeland's election beyond a danbt
and to secure Democratic victories in
North Carolina and Virginia, II the
Democrats in the House will repeal
the Internal Revenue or modify the
means of collecting that tag 30 as to
make it less obnoxious to the people,
thereby redeeming its often plighted
faith and promise, and reduce the Ia
riff and equalize it, then they will
save North Carolina and Virginia to
the Democracy.
With these proyisos, the situation
10 our mind seems to admit of rea-
sonable hope, but taken without con-
dition it is !ull of gravity. The pc.
riod is one of crisis, full of possibili-
ties; but also freighted with the abso-
lutte certainty that the Democratic
party. especially in North Carolina,
has no margin for mistakes. And
this the most fsithfnl land sagacious
of its leaders see and have proclpim-
ed.
We are no alarmist nor do we wish
10 excite any useless fear, We sim.
ply mean to be plain and candid. The
Democrats have no absolute lease oi
power in North Carolina nor Virginia.
Remember. the rlose share. here at the
last election when the independents
held the balance of power in the p'osi
popular branch of the General Assem-.
bly, and elected their speaker. d.
net forget that last year in Virgins
although the Democrats carried the
Legislature by good majority, yet ia
the popular vote j, was but bare ma
jority.
Let rs. therefore, realize these i'm.
portant facts. Let every man who
claims to be . Democrat do bis duty
and his full duty. We want no break
ing oi the 'solid South. As long as ih,
solid negro vote is cast for the Repub
iicsns. le: white men. be solid fol

 ''I will let you know, as soon as I have counted my men, ill an hour," answered Masaniello.
 ''Are they all to be at the catacombsg' asked the bandit.
 "What!" exclaimed the fisherman, with surprise, do you know the place we meet atG'
 "Know it! yes.n
 "Who informed you of it?'
 'Cospetto! you're inquisitive; but then you're young. I not only know," continued the bandit, 'the conspirators place of rem dezvous but I am also acquainted with the reason why you stop at this monastery" And Corcelli pointed to the Benedictine convent.

 'Yes; he was in my cave, near the volcano, this very morning"
 'You jokel"
 Mot I, per Bacco! We took him yester- night, on his return from Rome. and let him go this morning, for fear he should convert us"

 "Oh! nothing. Corpo di Cristol I guessed the trick"
 'What trick?"
 Don't be uneasy. These little Spaniards have plenty of anxiety. Cospetto! but her taste is not bad; fellows of your sort are not to be met with every day."
 You abuse my patience!" cried the fisher man. What is the meaning of your enig nautical language?"
 "The meaning of it is, mic caro, that from time to time 1 look after your interest, and you ought to do anything but complain, since I am about to give you the means of obtain ing certain victory. Listen! go and see the monk, then hasten to the catacombs, decide on the hour of attack, and afterward come to me at the foot of Vesuvius. You will then be able to see what means possess for carry ing on war, to count the men place at your orders, and to listen to my conditions. Do you agree to come?'

Fever in a Mlder Form
As Many New Gases as Ever,
 But Fewer Deaths.
CONCEALMENT AT FERNANDINA.

Ine teVef Has EAis'eu Ahere TOT some
 Time, but Was Officially Denied-There
 Were 143 New Cases and Four Deaths
 at Jacksonville Yesterday.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept 26.-Oficial bulletin for twenty-four hours: New cases, 143 of s5 are colored people; deaths, 4-J. L. Burch, Mrs Hall (coloredl Otto Fripp, Miss Florence Stowe Total cases to date, 3, 134; total deaths to date 221.
 While new yellow fever cases are develop ing rapidly, the type of the disease appears to be milder than heretofore and while many people are very sick, the death rate continues low and more hopeful feeling prevails.
 Camp Mitchell is being prepared very slowly, owing to bad weather and the diff culty experienced in securing laborers. Some thirty five houses are ready for occupancy, but there will be hardly accommodations for any great number of refugees in time to as sist to any considerable extent in the effort to depopulate the city. All plans for depopula tion have thus far failed owing to the lack of practical methods of putting them into operation.
 The following notice was sent to the United Press last night: Jacksonville is we'll sup piled with physicians and nurses at present. Those unreliable or incompetent are being rapidly sifted out. It is requested that relief organizations should communicate with the board of health relative to its needs before engaging the services of either physicians or nurses. NEAL MITCHELL, M D.,
 President of the Board of Health"
 The appearance of sporadic or imported cases of yellow fever at high and healthy points in the interior has added to the alarm ill some sections, but is not regarded here as serious.
 Many citizens of Jacksonville complain that the grading and lining of streets here by the Sanitary society will tend to extend the epidemic and make it more malignant
 special dispatch from Macclenny reports one death-that of Jonathan Law.
 Ample supplies for the present have been sent to Macclenny from here.
 There have been about a dozen deaths in Fernandina during the past two weeks. Stephen A. Sessar, civil engineer, died Sept. Is of alleged gastric fever. l.. B. Aiken died Sept. 15. T. B. Pryor was said to have died of typho-malarial fever; and several colored persons, among them $. B. Payne, principal of the colored school On the 22d inst. the county board of health denounced reports of yellow fever as untrue, pr. Palmer not agreeing to the statement, but being out voted to 1. The mayor and other promi- nent officials indorsed the denial It was only Monday, when it was learned that & Marine hospital surgeon would inspect the town, that the presence of yellow fever was acknowledged, after being concealed several weeks, but being locally known, and many persons having quietly left the place. This course is gravely censured. It was an out range upon other towns, like Gainesville, . which kept up communication with Fernan- dina on the strength of the official denial that there was yellow fever there.

No Fever, but Rigid Quarantine,

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 26.-No new cases of yellow fever or deaths have occurred at Jackson, but this fact does not seem to abate the excitement in the least. There are no trains running between Selma and Meridian and Montgomery and Akron. A fumigating station has been established at Decatur. No station can as yet be placed at Jackson as the neighboring towns threaten if mail or anything else, fumigated or not, is taken on at or near Jackson they will tear up the track and burn the bridges. Arrangements have been made to establish station at Jackson as soon as the excitement subsidies. There are slight evidences of reaction. Business men begin to Feel the pressure, and are com mencing to resist the mob element

 "Imprudent man! But follow me, Twill bo your guide"
 Dom Francesca, followed by the fisherman, left his cell traversed the cloister, passed by the chapel, and stopped at last at the top of Q damp staircase, which appeared to lose itself in the depths of the earth.
 ''But where would you lead ma to, holy fatherr asked Masaniello
 Before replying, the Benedictine drew from beneath his dress steel, n flint and key /; then, taking Masaniello by the arm, he went down twenty steps, and stopped before a massive iron door, which, on applying the key to it, turned heavily on its hinges. Then tho monk said:
 My son, the catacombs of Naples have four different outlets. One of them is in the wood of Pausilippo; this is, doubtless, the one by which you were all to enter"
 "It was"
 ''The second is beneath the Castel Nuovo; the third is behind the choir of the Church of St Januarius. and the fourth is in the convent of the Benedictines. You sec that Providence is with us.

New Orleans Is Healtbv

NEW ORLEANS, Sept 26-At a meeting of the Merchants and Manufacturers associa- tion pr. Williamson, president of the state board of health made a statement that the official health records show that there has not been a case of yellow fever in this city or state during the past three years. He further stated that the city of New Orleans is to-day unusually healthy, without any suspicious case of fever whatsoever, and every effort is being made to keep out infection. Trains are entirely suspended on the Mississippi Valley railroad. Dispatches received from many points ill Mississippi indicate that the panic is slowly subsiding. A few places, however, seem to be wild yet with excitement. A dis patch from Yazoo City says the place is per fectly healthy: that all trains and mails have been stopped, yet more than half of the peo- pie have moved away from the town. Similar conditions are reported from other points.

There Is No Fever There, but the People

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 26.-The Picayune's Meridian special says: The confident feeling of keeping the yellow fever out was somewhat demoralized by telegram from Dr. Buff kins at Vossburg, Miss, stating that E. A. Hamblin had died there with strong symp- toms of yellow fever. He was ill Jackson on Wednesday last Meridian has now quaran- tined against Vossburg The railroad com pany made strong efforts to get trains through Meridian, but the board of health refused to permit them to be run.
 The city is already running short of pro visions. The board of health granted per mission to have guarded locomotive sent twenty miles north to bring in cars of pro visions delivered there.
 There is no fever here, and no sickness of a suspicious character. A cordon is to be placed around the city at once to keep strangers out.
