street cars on Pennsylvania Avenue One
runs TO the Navy Yard and the other to the
Capitol. If passengers in the latter cars
wish to go TO the Navy Yard they are handed
transfer checks by the conductor, which are
good for their face on the next through car
that comes along. The distinguished Repre-
sentative from Maine was sitting in Capitol
car the other morning, when, as it approach
ed the switch, the conductor handed him a
Navy Yard transfer ticket. whats this
for ?" asked Boutelle, who had never seen
one before. That's transfer" replied the
conductor; don't you want to go to the
Navy Yard?" Boutele at first supposed that
some of his friends in the car had "put up a
job" on him, but they protested their inno-
cence.

When the last feeble accent is spoken
And dies like tender refrain,
You will weep DER the tie that is broken
And wish it united again.
When you mingle your tears with the
flowers
You lovingly strew on my bier;
And you speak of the mahy sweet hours
My presence has brought to you here,
Will YOU think of the long years of sadness.
1t seems there were none to approve?
How my heart would have bounded Win
gladness
To know that you bore me such love!
Oh. then will not bark to your weeping,
Nor heed to your passionate sighs;
And your tears will not waken my sleeping
Nor kindle beam in my eyes.
Though you call from the sunniest bowers
Oh, what would 1t matter to me?
/ would feel not the breath of the hover:
Though fragrant and balmy 1t be.
Oh. wait not till the summer is ended,
And winter lies cold on my brow,
Go, gather the garlands intended
And bring them to comfort me now.
What wisdom is there in concealing
The sunbeams that brighten the room!
Then tell me your tenderest feeling
Nor keep it for ears that are DUMP.
Then bring what you have to the living
To brighten life's wearisome way.
Since the dead cannot heed to your giving
Oh, bring me the roses to-day

SAD TALES OF THE TENEMENT.
Fast upon the heels of the terrible
calamity of twenty people roasted in a
tenement fire comes the news of an en-
tire family swept away in the burning
of another of those human erookeries.
This sort of thing is getting to be so
common in New York that it hardly
excites comment. The true tale OF
the tenements would have to be traced
in blood. If it shall ever be written it
will touch the chord of human sympa-
thies more powerfully than any fiction
that has ever been constructed to har-
row human feelings.
One of the most pathetic chapters
might, after Hood, be called the "Song
of the Shirt" l am reminded of it by
the testimony given yesterday be-
fore Congressman Ford's Commit
tee, which has been looking into the
abuses of our immigration system.
Very intelligent and highly respecta
bic women employed in shirt factories
testified that in six years their wages
had been scaled from $40 to less than
So week, by the competition of i'm
ported pauper labor. Three dollars a
week in New York City means starva-
ton. In fact a person can hardly
starye decently on SO small an amount.
Yet the testimony shows that the inn
ported Jews from Hungary, Russia
and Prussian- Poland think nothing of
working for s. week and supporting
a family of five or six upon it. These
people, especially those from the colder
provinces of Russia, can subsist on
food that to the American seems alb
solutely repulsive. l had occasion
once to observe life among some O
the most squalid tenements of the city
| learned as a matter of fact that some
of these Russian Jewish families hae
eaten nothing but raw fish-oil to'

excesses to which that party went at
that time.
Mr.. Dockery himself says that he
came to Raleigh during the session of
the legislature when the act author
izing the Special Tax Bonds was passed,
and tried to prevent the same, but was
unable to do so. As it was then so it
is now, the majority of the voters of
any party give character to the leaders
and control their acts. 1t is true in
this city and elsewhere, so tar as can
see, that the best element of the col
ored people are not able to lead their
race. Hence ! am afraid for govern
mental affairs to fall into their hands.
Not from any illwill to them, but from
conscientious convictions.
For these reasons do not favor the
organization of the Third party, and
would warn Democrats in North Car
olina from participating in the same.
We have made rapid strides IN this
State in educating our people for pro-
hibition, and if we will stand by our
party we can advance still farther.
But if we go into the Third party, and
in SO doing weaken the Democratic
party and cause its defeat, we shall do
the cause of prohibition lasting harm
and bring upon ourselves and posterity
great shame, with the possibilities of
burdening us with hardships grievous
indeed.
l have been induced to say this be-
cause of my great concern for the
cause of prohibition as we'll as my in
terest in the success of the Democratic
party. Without regard to party have
stood side by side with those of my
friends engaged in the Third party
movement in former contests to sup
press the evils of intemperance, and
with all my heart and soul l am ready
tor service along the same line now
and hereafter; but when / am called
to go into a movement, the result OF
which can only be harm to our cause,
and possibly place the State OF North
Carolina in the hands of men that
am unwilling should control it, and
also place this nation back in the
| power of the party that oppressed us
for twenty years, and under whose
reign so many trusts and combinations
were formed to grind the poor and
helpless; making the few richer and
the many poorer-a party that had SC
little regard for the burdened tax
payers of this country as to declare fol
free whiskey, instead of providing fol
;. hungry mouths. half clothed bodie:
and shelterless families. When | am
asked to turn my back on the Demo
cratic party, that has stood as the grea
bulwark to the white people of tht
South, from the humiliation and degra
dation to which bitter hatred at tht
North would have subjected us. Wher
l am asked to do this my answer TO
myself and all whom l can influence
is, No.
l call upon my brethren of the Tenn
perance cause in North Carolina whe
are considering this matter or wh@
have thought of joining with the Thir(
party to stop-look ahead-see tn
danger of such a course. And thel
let us determine to stand by the Dem
ocratic party and contend for prohi
bition as we have been dong.

FOR YOU, YOUNG MAN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Some Plain Talk for the Consideration
of Young Men.

A writer in the Jonesboro Lea6sY
indulges in the following plain, COM
mon sense talk to young men:
Young men, you are wantedl From
the street corners, from the saloons and
play houses, from the loafers' rendez-
vous, from the idler's promenade, turn
your steps into the highway of noble
aim and earnest work. There are
prizes enough for every successful
worker, crowns for every honorable
head that goes through the smoke of
conflict to victory. You may never
wear the warriors crimson wreath, the
poets chaplet of bays, or the states
mans laurel; though it may never be
yours to bring to successful issue a
great political revolution to be the
founder of a republic, whose name
shall be distinguished star in the
constellation of nations;" yea, more,
you may never be heard beyond the
narrow limits of your own neighbor-
hood, yet is your mission none the
less high and holy one. But why do
SO few young men of early promise,
whose hopes, purposes and resolves
were as radiant as the colors of the
rainbow, fail to distinguish themselves ?
The answer is obvious; they are not
willing to devote themselves to that
toilsome culture which is the price of
great success. God made the trees |;
men must build the houses and con-
struct the ships. God buried iron in
the heart of the earth; men must dig
it, smelt it, and fashion it. What is
useful for the body, and, still more,
what is useful for the mind, is to be
had only by exertion. Great men
have ever been men of thought as we'll
as of action. Up, then, young man,
and grid yourself for the work of sell
cultivation! Set high price on your
leisure moments; they are sands o'
precious gold. ts
There are some young men who
seem to think it quite a disgrace te
work, and seem to think they are ex
ceedingly bright; it is true, they have
been to school and have had splendie
opportunities, but really, they do no
know enough to know they don't know
anything. fthey can get on nic'
suit of clothes, a watch, pair of kit
gloves and puff cigar they seem to b
perfectly at ease, whether these thing
were ever paid for or not. Young
ladies, let such young men pass by
Man is born to dominion, but he mus
enter it by conquest, and continue t
battle for every inch of ground adde'
to his sway. There is no moral objec
50 beautiful as a conscientious youn
man. We watch him as we do sta
in the heavens. He resists tempta
tons he needs not the work of fashio
if it leads to sin; the Atheist, VIII
says, 1" there is no Cod" controls hir
aot ; he sees the hand of a creatin
God, and sejoices in it. Woman
sheltered by fond arms and lovin
counsel; old age is protected by its eS
perience, and manhood by its strength
but the young man stands amid tn
7 temptations of the world like a sell
balanced tower.
Awake! arise, young man assum

UakOta'5 Ex Governor on fEe POLITICAL
In the East.
Minneapolis Journal: Ex-Gov. Gil
bert A. Pierce, of Dakota, Is at the West
hotel, arriving from the east this morn
ing. Last week Governor Pierce de-
llvered the principal address at the u
nual reunion OF the Army of the Tennes-
see, held at Toledo, o. While at Toledo
Gov. Pierce met representative republ.
cans from nearly eVeiy eastern and
middle state. In Conversation with
these gentlemen he obtained q pretty
good insight into the political situation.
He is convinced that republican success
in November Is snte.
II have never known q time when the
leaders In the party had 20 much sssur-
ance of success" said he tins morning.
1.-The feeling in every section OF the
country that l visited was much the
same he continued. "rhe New York
republicans that / met are enthusiastic
over the outlook They believe that
New York will swing into the republic
can column this fall by q majority sufic.
lent to prevent any attempt of the dem
ocrsts to go behind the returns They
likewise feel that success is certain in
Connecticut. The only thing to fear
from that state is that the republicans
may relax their interest on account of the
fact shat Vermont gave such an over
whelming republican majority in the
state election last week. There seems
TO be q perfect land slide from the demo.
cratic to the republican ranks in manu-
featuring points in these states. The
issuein tie eastern states il between
protection and free trade. The manu-
facturers and their employees are flock
ing into the republican ranks for their
own protection. They fear the result
OF the Mills bill and the theories adyo-
Gated in the democratic platform if
carried out. They have come to the
conclusion that the only way to check
free trade is to beet at the polls the
party that champions 1t. Candidates
are lost sight of in what the people in
the esst believe to be q greater Issue.
"The Indian republicans admit that
the campaign in their state is to he the
liveliest in its history, but they believe
that their state will go republican by a
good majority. They are not over-confi-
dent, however, and they wall continue a
vigorous campaign. Ohio is surely re-
