When Sophocles wrote his tragedy
OF "Giipus the King he probably
never imagined that the classic story
would centuries after be paralleled in
the metropolis Of a world then un-
known. Students can trace the an
alogy in the remarkable story involv-
ing the marriage Of father to bis
own daughter made public here. The
parties are Polish Hebrews. The
mans name is said to be Isaac Wal
dorf, a merchant on the East Side.
He was married in Germany about
twenty years, but after two months
left his wife and came 10 this coun-
try. He prospered in business, mar
ried a new wife, and was left wild
over few years ago with three chill
dren. Last year he met a Hebrew
girl in distress in Broadway, who had
Just landed and had wandered away
from Castle Garden. She said her
name was Nina Sterling, and Waldorf
took her to his home apd gave her
nights lodging. AS she showed fond
ness for his children he dismissed his
and engaged her. A few
months later be married her. She
kept in communication with her
mother. and recently sent for the lat
ter to come and visit her. When the
mother arrived she recognized in her
husband the man who had
married her in his youth and was the

replies the smiling protectionist. eff
you want little salt, you must pay
this pet Of mine IS cents for 10 cents
worth; if you want little sugar, you
must pay As cents for IS cents worth,
but if you don't want any sugar or

Now, farmer friends, mechanic
friends, Mr.. Harrison, the Republi-
can candidate for President, votes
even allowing You the privi-
lege Of buying cheap saws and
hammers, and plows, and hoes,
when he knew that you must pay
heavy tariff taxes on your hats, socks,
soap, salt, sugar, lumber, glass.
How can it benefit the mechanic
to vote for Harrison? The Republi
can party promises no relief and
says: we are uncCmpromisingly
in favor Of the American system OF
protection" and the American system
we as look at it to day, means tax
ing everybody that uses pIows hoes,
rakes, saws, nails, hammers, for the
benefit of the few who manufacture
these articles. 1t is not fair, it is
not right, it cannot be for the great
est good to the greatest number, and
the Democratic party pledges Itself
to relieve against these burdens.

A GREAT CORN YEAR.

Under the above heading the Indi-
ana Farmer says: Several farmers
we have met recently have spoken of
the remarkably favorable condition
of the corn crop. One places the
per cent. of condition at 125, and says
the area planted is much larger than
usual. Another says that in all his
recollection this year gives promise of
the largest crop. The recent heavy
rains have thoroughly saturated the
ground. For several weeks previous
there had been no rain to prevent
cultivating the crop, which, on this
account, was in excellent condition
for receiving the showers, being mel
low and free from weeds Under the
existing favorable circumstances ii is
safe to predict very large crop OF
our most important cereal. Farmers
may we'll congratulate themselves
upon the prospect. The small crop
Of last year was long since exhausted.
The price. owing to Il scarcity, has
been higher than for many years. 1t
will continue to be high, because OF
the empty granaries throughout this
country and in the foreign lands that
look to US for their supply. A single
crop. however large, will not be able
to glut the markets Of the world, SO
that corn and pork and corn fed beef
are likely to bring good returns to
those who have either to sell the
coming fall and winter. We believe
that our loss in the wheat crop will
be more than made good by the extra
acreage and yield of the corn crop
and its products

WHO ARE OUR REAL FRIENDS.

How hard it is to find a friend
On whom we can always depend;
Sometimes we think that friend we've
got
Till trial proves we have him not.
There some, to serve some selfish ends,
Declare and vow they are your friends,
But SOC as serving self is 0 er,
Behold, they are your friends no more.
Others Will act part more base,
They're always friendly to your face,
But turn your back and they'll your
name
Expose to obloquy and shame.
Those who of others tell you much,
My counsel is, beware of such,
to tell of all they know,
AS freely will they speak OF you.
A faithful friend 1 highly prize:
a II eacherous one do despise:
All in suspense, ask around.
Where can a faithful friend be found?

JUDGE RUSSELL DECLINES.

The Wilmington Star of the 4th inst,
published an interview with Judge Dan.
iel L. Russell in which he said he would
decline the nomination for Associate
Justice rendered him by the Republican
State Convention. Not only will he
decline but he says in his letter of decli-
nation he would advise the withdrawal
of the entire State ticket, and that a
coalition with the Prohibitionists be
formed.
His reasons are that the approaching
election will be walk over for the Dem
Ocrats. The republicans, he says, can
not win, and if they could they would
be counted out.
His idea is that though there would
be but little hope of success now, if a Goa
the color line will be broken and in this
way lead to Republican success hereaf-
ter. He says ''if d Chinese gong cam
paign is inaugurated, with joint discus
sion between Fowle and Dockery, it will
probably result in majority of 10000
for the Democratic ticket.'
The Star says Judge Russell is an
astute politician and one of the most
influential members of the Republican
party in this State, and there can be no
question that the stand he has taken in
this matter will have great weight with
his party.
DIR. Benbow. chairman of the State
Prohibition Committe, has been asked
his views on Judge Russell s proposition.
He, speaking as an individual, said the
Prohibitionists are in the field from the
conviction as to the iniquity
Of the liquor traffic, and would heartily
all who on this dominent issue
are with US agreed, but the party is not
ruilt for coalitions, and could listen to /
no overtures for deals or fusions from
any quarter whatever.

AND MECHANICS
LOOK HERE.

Senator Harrison voted against re-
ducing the tariff tax on Agricultural
implements and tools of mechanics. See
Congressional Record vol. xiv. p.
1884, 47th Congress.
We are indebted to the Goldsboro
Argus directly for the research that
brought to light this part Of Harri-
sons record. We think, however,
we see evidence Of Charles Aycock's
assiduity. 1t is strong point, and
we feel certain it will attract the at
tention of the farmers and mechanics.
Think Of this: How many people
manufacture agricultural imple-
ments? Not very many, when we
compare the number of the manufac-
turers of agricultural implements to
the number Of users of agricultural
implements. How many people use
plows, hoes, trace chains, rakes, axes,
&c? A vast and vastly Increasing
army. How many people manufac
ture mechanical implements? Com
paratively very few. How many use
mechanical implements? How many
people use saws, planes, hammers,
drawing knives, nails and things Of
like kind? Now answer this ques
ton: Is it better for the whole
country for 100000 people to pay
on all agricultural and mechanical
implements As per cent. more than
these implements are worth? It can
hardly be better. 1t is hard for us
to believe it promotes industry and
content and happiness and compe-
tence for the government to say to a
farmer, 'you must dig your bread
out Of the ground, but you must pay
this friend of mine $1.45 for every
dollars worth of plows and hoes you
need" Nor can we understand how
it benefits the carpenter to be told by |
this great government, "you must
build houses for a living, but before
you strike a lick, you must go to see
one of my pets and pay him $3.50
for every dollars worth of planes,
drawing-knives, &c, that you use, and
$40 for every handsaw and file you
need, for must protect my labor
ers." Protection is big word, a
high-sounding word, and by its very
may deceive people who
ail to look beneath the sound and
search for the sense. Protect labor
ers, indeed! Are not the farmer
and the carpenter laborers? How
are they protected? We have
seen they must pay large tariff tax
IN all implements they use when
days wages. Now look
1t this: Take carpenter. After
paying exhorbitant prices for his
lis saw, and plane, and drawing knife;
,fter expending his muscle, his skill,
lis attention, he has at night, say,
81. 90 to show for his days work. He
hen comes to the government as
under potectionists'
avs, and says: GIVE paid high
