ORDERS FROM HEADQU ARTERS.

1t is a notorious fact that the Prohibi-
ton party is a Northern plant, reared IN
the strongholds of Radicalism and bloody
shirtism, and was brought South by the
use of Republican money, in the hands OF
Republican speakers and we'll trained pol
ticians, and that its introduction into the
South has, in almost every instance, been
encouraged by leading Republicans here.
Prof. A. A. Hopkins, a fe-long Repub-
lican, an artful politician and a shrewd
eampaigner, spent nearly two years IN the
South helping to plant this Northern po-
litical party in our Southern soil. he was
at Greensboro when the organization OF
the new party was effected, and when DR..
Benbow and Rev Steele "a Northern man
and a teacher in negro school)-both u
Eepublicans-we made the chairman
and secretary of the State organization
Nouhern funds sent Hopkins, a Repub-
lean campaigner into the South to plant
this new organization, and Northern funds
are being spent in the South to build up
this party; and Northern funds are send
ing thousands Of Northern papers, all bear
ing the faint more or less, of Radicallsm
into the South And for what purpose!
Read the following clipped from Ihlrd
party paper published at Springfield, ONO,
and see if you cannot discover the real
design Of those Northern men who are
giving encouragement to this new party
The Springfield, Ohio, New Era, lhlro
party paper says, speaking to Its Southern
agents:
We urge you again to secure the com
pete organization Of the Southern States
the appointment of committees and the
nomination of tickets from the hlghest C
the lowest officer. LET THE SEPARATION
.jF THE PROHIBITION PARTY FROM THE DEN
DCRATIC PARTY BE so COMPLETE THAT THEIR
CAN BE No MISUNDERSTANDING, AND THAI
EVERY MAN CAN SEE THAT THE VICTORY VI
THE ONE MUST MEAN THE DEFEAT OF IHf
OTHER"
Let Democratic prohibitionists be care
full how they allow themselves to be made
the tools of Northern men and Northern
money in turning their State over into th'
hands Of Radicals.

V L.

honest workingmen cannot support Mich
OILS. because he has tried to make labor
organizations mere allies to the Repub-
lican party, and has brought confusion
and weakness into the order known as the
knights of Labor by reason of his self
ishness.
We say this upon the authority of Mr.
Powderly and every other patriotic leader
of the Knights of Labor. Recently Mr.
Chas. IL. Litchman, General Secretary of
the Knights of Labor, resigned to take the
stump for Harrison. In the correspondence
between them relative to the resignation,
Mr.. Powderly uses these words: "You
have adopted the most HONORABLE course
III resgning, for it would not be wise or
discreet to take The stump while holding
your present position
Mr.. Powderly himself refrains from
taking any part in the present political
campaign, and holds that officers who take
the stump, if they desire to pursue the
HONORABLE course, ought to resign before
doing so. What course does Nichols pur-
sue: Holding the highest Office in the
State Knights of Labor he uses it to put
himself in Congress and as an annex to
the Republican party. Is this honor
able" from Mr.. Powderly's standpoint
Some three years ago lodges of the
Knights Of Lobor We're organized in North
Corolina. The objects of the order are
such as all men endorse who sincerely de-
sire to bring about the betterment of the
condition of the great army of wage
workers. The CHRONICLE from the first
was in entire sympathy with the OBJ
iects sought TO be accomplished. If there
had been no departure from the real OBJ
jects Of the order, aud if politics had been
rigidly discarded, the order would now be
in flourshing condition. AS it is, the
Knights of Labor have lost nearly or
quite all their white members, except Rad
icas, and the lodges are languishing and
lifeless. Mr.. O'keefe, lecturer of the
order, in Raleigh only las week, attri-
but.d the loss of power and membership
of the order to the fact that politicians
had controlled it for selfish purposes.
John Nichols has been a. the head of these
selfish destroyers Of the good Of the order.
Workingmen who really are desirous of
bettering their condition cannot support a
man who has betrayed their interests for
selfish purposes.
Two years ago Nichols made great prom
ses of what he could do for the working
men if they would send him to Congress.
What has he done The CHRONICLE has
no hesitation in saying that he has not
done a SINGLE THING To AID THE WORKING
MEN or anybody else during his term in
Congress. He had an opportunity OF
doing so when the Mills bill was up for
| consideration. If he had been true in his
professions of desire to aid his constituents
| he would have voted for that bill. He
voted AGAINST it, and therefore
| AGAINST A REDUCTION OF THE
| PRICE OF NECESSARIES He preferred
to stand with the monopolists and man
| ipulators OF trusts, who are expected tt
furnish Doodle for the campaign, than tt
represent his people. He had a choice
then, and he chose to be untrue to his con
| stituents. His constituents will have 9
| choice in November, and they will choose
! ia let him remain at home.

es, umbrellas, parasols-and a thou and
other things needed and worn and used
by our people.
The Democrats proposed to reduce this
tax and let the people have their neces-
saries cheaper. SO just and benefcent a
measure, that would prove of so much ad
vantage to our people, ought surely to
have commanded the support of every
Congressman from North Carolina who was
sincerely Interested in promoting the well
fare of his constituents. 1t did-of every
one except John Nichols Even Mr.. Brow
er, the Republican member from the Fifth
District, voted for the Mills bill. But
Nichols turned his back upon his constitu-
ents and voted for and with the Northern
men who keep the burdens on the people
that THEIR OWN SECTION MAY BE HELPED
BY TAXING ALL THE BALANCE OF THE COUN-
TRY. Nichols was untrue to the interests
of his constituents; he was true to the in
terests of Pennsylvania millionaires. If
there were not other reasons why honest
men should vote against Nichols, his vote
on the Mills bill is sufficient to forever
condemn him with North Carolinians.
The New York Herald says that it sup
ports the present administration because
it Is trying to get a cheap pair of blankets
for the poor man before December comes,
and a woollen petticoat all wool, not
Shoddy-fOr the wife and little one. That
is the CHRONICLES creed That is what
the Mills bill does. But John Nichols
pats himself against this. Now what
ought the wOrkingman who needs cheap
blankets and woollen petticoats to do?
Clearly there is but one course he can
pursue if he has regard to his own needs
and the needs Of his family 1t is to vote
against Nichols and vote for a man who
will vote for cheap necessares. The
CHRONICLE pledges that Mr. Bum will do
this every time.

A Snake swallows String Of Fish.

Hugh Pattison, Of the water rates
office, had funny experience while
fishing at Long Lake, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. He had been catchinn
fish pretty liTcly all the morning. and
along toward noon he went on land and
left his string Of fish in the water by the
boat. lie fingered under the shade of
the trees for couple Of hours, and then
returned TO take up his rod for the pur-
pose Of enlargiug tho string Of croppes
that he caught in the morning. after
fishing short time he took n nice bass
and reached over the side OF his boat for
his string of fish, to place the bass with
the others. 1t was gone. Not a sign OF
his twenty. five croppies cou'd be found.
You may imagine my disgust at the
discovery" said Mr.. Pattison, relating
the story. ~ had almost made up my
mind TO pull up stakes and go home,
when / noticed a monster blacksnake
lying in the sun by little bush about
twenty feet away / had little rife
with me and / took careful aim Mt the
snakes head and let 90. The bullet did
its work well, for the snake, after writh-
ing little, became quiet, and / went
ashore TO look at him. | took pole
with hook on the end that | use for
loosening my line when it is caught on a
snag and pulled the big snake up on the
bank. i never saw such big one before
and its belly was pulled out tin il looked
like stoyepipe. / noticed a piece Of
string sticking out of the snakes mouth
and my curiosity was aroused, so ] took
out my knife and cut him opon. We'll,
you may not believe it, but there was my
elegant string Of croppies in the snakes
stol h, and some Of them were alive
and kicking when i took them out.
Threw them away Of course / didn't.
just washed them of and went on fish
ing, and when ] got home gave the
string of fish to friend, who declared
that he never ate better croppie in his life.

Fantastic Brahmin Idols.

One sees Brahma occasionally in the
East pictured in heroic size on the walls
of houses, or as an idol OF wood or
stone, occupying shed at one end Of n
village with his wife Sarasvati. He is
also, of course, to be seen in temples, but
not often.
Sarasvau is always represented as a
beautiful young woman presenting a
flower to her husband, says CORE
spondent OF the Courier Journal. Like
our own Mother Eve, she was created out
of portion of her husbands body, al
though the Hindoos do not distinctly say
rib.
When this happened Brahma was pos.
sessed of but one head. Beholding this
lovely newly created companion, how
ever, he at once became smitten with her
charms. Sarasvati, being a shame faced
maiden, modestly turned away to escape
his gaze.
At Brahma's wish to still behold her.
a second head issued from his body. AS
the damse skipped around to another
position third head appeared and then a
fourth.
At length, in her embarrassment,
Sarasvati sprang into the sky. Not to
be outdone, however, Brahma instantly
produced fifth head. This fifth head
was subseT Tuently struck OF by another
god in dispute, which leaves him only
four.
The idol with the leopard skin loin-
cloth, the snake about his head and
neck and the tridentin his hand, is silva,
the destroyer. He is one Of the most
familiar idols one sees in India. As YOU
approach an Indian village the first
building by the roadside is aps to be
a shed-like shrine, sheliering an idol Of
silva about the size of man.
He is painted red, with blue neck,
and sometimes garnished profusely with
bits of gold or silver tinsel pasted here
and there about his figure. This bright
paint and tinsel gives the idol n rather
chheap, aud tawdry appearance, sugg cstive
OF n cheap show.
