Stumps i'm Our Lives.

Life at its best is like rugged
roadway. II is filled with ruts and
stones and difficult obstacles; it
winds around through smooth mea-
dOws and over rough mountains
covered with rocks and trees.
A child. wandering in the woods,
sees a horrible monster. There are
two big eyes. Great scaly claws are
grasping out this way and that way.
Terrified, the child takes to its heels,
and puts for the nearest port. But
father or some elder friends in
duces it to return and examine the
monster. They cautiously approach
into its hOrrd presence, and, 10, it is
nothing bat pine stump.
Wethink there are pine stumps in
our Christian lives. In the distance
they look like horrible monsters.
They brighten Us. They retard our
growth. But when We boldly ap-
proach them, they are nothing but
stamps. Advance upon them and
Toar Anakim will dwindle into
dwarf.

West Virginia has at last removed

Doubt hung around the election

tuition wa submitted 70 popular vote
and il was buried under an adverse
majority estimated as high a. 40,-

Note the Result.

Tariff reform advocates have great
cause for encouragement. As the
election exeitementhas Gained down
the field can be observed with more
clearness and the results are more
perceptlble.
Note this.
Senator Sherman's speech of
March Is, 1872, showing up the IN
justice of that system of national
taxation which "rests the whole bur-
den on consumption, and not one
cent on property or income" must
have had more influence at Spring
field, o., than the one made by him
in that city in the recent campaign.
Springfield is a manufacturing CEN
tire, and hitherto one of the strong
est Republican cities in Ohio. 1t
gave Blaine plurality of 1,305 votes
in 1884. This year Harrison's plu-
atty was only 1858, a Republican loss
Of 937. In Clark county, Of which
Springfield is the chief city, the Re-
publican loss was 1913. The ex-
anation of this change is that
tuere was a tariff-reform club in
Springfield, organized by the work
ingmen themselves two years ago,
when the great w. N. Whitley
lockout took place. The club was
started expressly to examine the
causes of ira 'edepresslon, and among
these causes the tariff was discovered
to be the chief one. The education
Of the workingmen was then under
taken by the club in systematic
manner, and carried on with the re-
suit already stated.

Encouraging Words.

The Raleigh State Chronicle, as
we have taken occasion to remark
before, takes a great deal Of inter-
est in Durham and her people, for
which we, as a Durhamite, wish to
again thank that journal.
The last issue Of the Chronicle
contained a clear and succinct state
ment Of affairs here in the shape of
replies to a number of questions
asked Of many Of our leading cit
liens. In these answers they all
agree that the manufacturing inter-
ests of Durham will not be effected
by the late failures; business may be
retarded to some extent for awhile;
and that real estate will not be
sacrifced-it may be at a standstill
temporarily, but in the end will 60
up, and the opinion is expressed in
some Of the replies that it willbe
effected but little il at all.
The Chronicle then adds: "You
cannot down Durham as the above
expressions clearly show. The peo-
pie there are made of stern stuff.
They have carved out their own for
tune They can recover what they
have lost, and THEY WILL DO IT.. OF
this the Chronicle has not the least
shadow Of a shade Of doubt.
In their work Of recuperation they
deserve the full sympathy, co-opera-
ton, and help Of every true North
Carolinian. They have done more
to give North Carolina fame and
commercial standing throughout the
world then the business men of any
other town in the State. The State
owes Durham's business men great
debt Of obligation. Now let us all
rally to Durham's help, and aid the
plucky town in coming back to its
old self!'
The people Of Durham thank the
Chronicle for its encouraging words
and will ever appreciate them. The
Chronicle has an abiding faith in
Durham and we honor it for its
patriotic sentiments.

Woman suffrage, in the shape Of
bill giving women the right TO
vote in municipal elections, was
before the House Of the Vermont
Legislature on Thursday. The mat
ter was strongly supported before
the committee. The analogy Of
Kansas was invoked State which,
like Vermont, is overwhelmingly Re.
publican, and which introduced
municipal suffrage for woman two
years ago. Altogether the advocates
Of the change were exceedingly hope
full Of victory, and spprehended de-
feat, If at all, only BY a narrow ma
iority. The result, however, show
ed that they had entirely misjudged
the temper Of the Lawmakers, the
bill being defeated by vote of 192
to 81, or more than FIVE 10 one.
The Vermonters want no woman's
suffrage in theirs.
