OASIS IN THE DESERT.

Brother McDairmid, of the Lumber
ton R0des0nian, does not believe in
Withholding kindly word of praise
and encouragement from those entitled
to it in this life. He is not a believer
in the practice of waiting until after a
person is dead before passing eulogi-
ums on his character and life work.
And in this the GOLD LEAF agrees with
him. Do not wait until the brave and
sometimes faltering heart has ceased
to beat, and the tired form is at rest
in the cold embrace of death before
speaking the word that might have
carried cheer and comfort to that
same heart. Speak out now-w,ile a
word of sympathy and encouragement
may fall upon living ears. Do not be
afraid to bestow honest praise. 1t will
hurt no one when Justly merited.
Brother McDalrmid says:
Solomon, with all his wisdom, never
uttered a greater or more abiding
truth than when he declared that ga
good name is better than great riches"
and nothing so contributes to make
the present life worth the living and
the life which is to come desirable as
the words Of encouragement and CON-
mendation that fall from the lips of
those whose friendship we most highly
and kindly esteem, and the plaudits
which, in the world beyond, await
those who are "faithful unto DEATH"
In this busy, thronging and exacting
world there is too little recognition of
the trials and hardships of this life.
Much is thought and spoken of "rec-
ognition IN heaven and it i, pleas
ant contemplation to realize that we
may be permitted to spend a never
ending eternity with all the friends
that have cheered and blessed every
stage Of our earthly existence, and to
know that there will he no more sick
ness or sorrow, pain or death. But If
there was more recognition on earth it
would enable many toiling, striving
person to bear more patiently lives of
privation and hardship.
Dean Ramsey, in his "reminiscences
of Scottish Nationalities, says with pc
culiar emphasis
"God knows there is enough of sin
and sorrow in the world to make sad
the heart of every christian man. No
one,l think, need be ashamed of having
sought to cheer the darker hours of his
fellow-travelers step sthrough life, or to
beguile their hearts, when weary and
heavy laden, into cheerful and amusing
trains of thought.

not tar from correct when it says:
There is growing conviction among
the people that man who has plenty
of money and influential friends can
not be convicted Of any crime, no
matter what the evidence may be.
That the efforts made to whitewash the
character Of prominent men justify
this belief, to some extent at least,
cannot be denied. No one regrets to
see man who has acquired honor,
distinction and influence, become dis
graced more than we do, but the inter-

any one man. Let equal and exact

Respectfully,
igned) DANIEL G. FowLE,

His Excellency, judging DR.. Hay
wood by his past work as director of
one Board, says, 81 feel that by doing
SO, accepting the office the State will
enjoy an intelligent, fearless and con-
scientious administration of its public
charities under your craftsmanship"
If the Governor does not mean to
heartily endorse DIR. Haywood's vote
in the Grissom case, and therefore DR..
Grissom, he has been betrayed into the
most unfortunate language at most
unfortunate time.
There was no suffering necessity for
this promotion and commentator of
His excellency's excellent klnsman and
in view of all the circumstances the
people will be 10th to believe that it
means anything less than a hearty ex
ecutive endorsement of DIR. Eugene
Grissom,by Governor Daniel G. Fowle.
Admitting, as the Chronicle sincere
~ does, DR.. Haywood S unimpeachable
character and his great ability, this
paper yet maintains that situated as
DR.. Haywood is as regards the Grissom
trial, the appointment must be inter
preted as an executive approval of an
act which the masses condemn as 4
gross error of judgment on DR.. Hay
woods part. Gov. Fowle with all the
influence and dignity that ssdoth hedge
a Governor, can add nothing the good
name of, nor at all increase the high cs-
TEEN IN which is held, DR.. E. Burke
Haywood. DR.. Haywood required no
executive endorsement; and this is all
the stronger reason why Gov. Fowle
should have been more circumspect
His Excellency is not satisfied to
tender DIR. Haywood the position in a
polite private note, but he must strain
4 point to especially commend the
Doctor in his relations to public chart
ties; which note by the way, it is safe
to say, DR.. Haywood never made pub
lie.
The Chronicle congratula:es DIR.

nut it is clear that the sale had purpose
md is probably the beginning OF some
well defined policy.
Lead has been held in balance by two
opposing forces. Sellers anticipate a re-
tersal of the treasury decision and have
been holding out of the market, expecting
llleir goods to be of much more value
very soon. Buyers eagerly hope that the
present rulings may continue and they
lecline to buy, fearing that they will be
BADLY stuck. Of course, tile entire trade

state securities continues to develop cases
Of fraud almost every day. 1t now ap.
pears that forgery has been added to THEFT
IN the fraudulent floating Of bonds Of the
state, throu.h the criminal carelessness
Of the states trusted servants. In addi.
tion to $4,000 of consolidated bonds
upon which interest payments have Just
neen stopped, and many Of which have
been surreptitiously put upon the market
instead of being Cancelled, there, have
been discovered in private hand. a num-
Der OF 4per cents issued under act III OF
1880, and known as constitutional bonds,
that are clearly an over-issue made by
fraud.
This evening the Indications are that
the unauthorized bonds placed upon the
market will amount, with the sum paid
from the interest fund, to nearly $1,000.

said he would not care if he did 20 to pris

Lester says, however, that the verdict in
this case is an unjust one and he will
probably contest it. At 10 the boy was
wild, though not vicious, and to get him
out of bad company the father sent him
to San Francisco and set him up in the
cigar business. He tired OF this soon and
went to ses. Since then he has made sew
eral whaling trips, has been shipwrecked,
and also filled tie position of mate on

that bloody cotton found in the basement
