HON. s. S. COX.
Eloquent Speech by Maj. c. w. Nc
Clammy, of North Carolina,
at the Memorial
Service.

Mr.. Speaker, Horace has declared
that Pale Death advancing with
equal and impartial step knocks at
the hovel of the poor and the palace
of the great" To die is the universal
lot. To pass to our kindred dust and
be forgotten, or else to live in cold
and pulseless marble, chiseled by
glorious art to vital grace, is all that
earth can offer US. Not even the
Lord of Life, at whose bidding count.
less worlds flashed upon the brow of
night, at whose command the vanished
spirit returned to its abandoned tene-
ment, in whose hands was all power
and in whose heart was all purity, not
even he escaped that dread and awful
penalty in whose shadow we stand
today, our hearts united with sorrow
and our lips dumb with loss.
Mr.. Speaker, the custom which we
now observe is as immemorial as
death itself. Abraham bought the
cave of Macpelah and fashioned and
beautifed it in loving sorrow for
nameless loss. Barbaric nations piled
uncouth stones on high as rude, but
touching memorials to commemorate
the virtues of their gifted dead. Ad-
vancing civilization builds to heroic
worth the graceful shaft that splinters
in radiant space the golden beams of
light; and we pause beneath our
country's dropping banner to eulogize
our fallen comrade, whose loved fea-
lures shall be seen no more, and
whose eloquent voice is hushed for
ever.
The author, the scholar, the diplo-
mate, the orator, to whose proud and
swelling tones your hearts have
thrilled, the patriot whose great soul
loved every rood of that mighty en-
pire over which our country's glori-
Gus banner floats, has crossed the
river. He, whose great intellect for
thirty years burned upon the peaks
of fame like a beacon of glorious
light; he, whose genial humor flashed
upon dull debate as the rays of the
sun that pierce and scatter the murky
folds of cloud; he, whose divining
sense, whose scholarly polish, whose
kindly heart, whose swelling soul
and honor's lofty sense have made
his name and life immortal, has passed
to his great reward.
Samuel Sullivan Cox is dead
Ohio mourns not alone her hOnored
dead. New York, with bowed head
and faltering step, approaches not
alone the grave of buried worth.
North Carolina, with whom liberty is
an inspiration and duty a watchword,
offers upon this shrine; with grief
that is voiceless, her profoundest
tribute to the illustrious dead. Every
where upon this continent of republics
true hearts have canted his mournful
requiem and lowered above his hon

tional sovereignty.
1t is unnecessary to speak Of his
public services Their length and
character are the best atte station of
of their worth and sincerity. They
glow upon his country's history; they
0urn in shimmering glory upon his
country's banner. Tney are written
upon the hearts of my people with a
stylus of fire. When war had torn
and wasted them, when their land was
white with the tombs of her flower
and dark with the ruins of century's
toll and hope, when Niobe, uncrowned
and voiceless, sat amid the ashes of
desolation, his voice pleaded with an
angels eloquence for the preservation
of the American Union and the per-
petuation of American liberty; and
my people will love and honor him
until Mecklenburg and Moore's Greek
and Kings Mountain and Guilford
Court House can no longer thrill the
hearts of degenerate posterity.
Sir, it has been sly said by a
distinguished orator that the South
builded monuments to men who per-
ished for slavery and anarchy. I
wish to say, sir, in the presence of
that vacant chair, while in my heart
is a chamber that will be dreary and
empty forever, that if power equaled
desire I would build a monument to
this great leader of the North that
should fall amid the wreck of matter
and crash of worlds, about whose
lofty summit the ethereal grace of the
morning mists alone should hover,
and upon whose granite heart should
burn in fadeless fire the name of the
patriot Cox. Not to him alone, but
to every American, regardless of Sec
tion and regardless of all save that he
consecrated his abilities to his country
and to his God in the cause of liberty,
justice, and truth.
My friends, great ca plain has
fallen, flushed with victory, nearing
the zenith of his glory, crowned with
bays, wreathed with immortelles
How sleep the brave who sink to rest,
BY all their country's wishes blessed!
The voice that rang so proudly in
these halls as he scared upon his bold
and mounting wing is now, alas, but
the memorys echo; the face that
shown transfgured with intellectual
emotion is but copy of the pale
death.
Our friend is Sunset Cox no longer;
he has passed the quivering bars Of
the sunset; his plumed spirit has
foated through the translucent seas
of ruby and opal and amethyst; pas sed
the glittering splendors and FURNISHED
systems that flash from the jeweled
arch of the midnight; passed from
death unto life; from great tribulation
unto perfect rest; joined beyond the
golden bars his loved and lost; chant
ing upon golden harp the sweet re-
trains of triumph and wearing by the
crystal river the victor's crown of life;
for him there is no death. Immortal
he lives forever.
There is no death. But angel forms
Walk DER the earth with silent tread;
They bear our best loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
But ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the bOundless universe
Is lfe-there are no dead.

Bro. S. W. Terrell sends us an
account of Capt. Darden's speech in
Wake county, near Rolesville, on
last thursday. There was a large
crowd present, representatives from
seven or eight different Alliances.
Bro. Terrell describes the speech as
being one of the best he ever heard.
1t was full of good reasoning, argu-
ments undenisble, and thinks it will
do the order great deal of good in
that section.

WEEKLY WEATHER CROP Bull
LETIN
For the Week Ending Friday, April
25th, 1890.

ZSLu, 4o9Os
CENTRAL OFFICE, RALEIGH n. G..
The uninterrupted mildness of the
winter months of this season devel-
oped fruit and vegetables to an un-
usual degree, and enabled farmers to
accomplish good work in preparation
for the coming season by putting land
in frst-class condition for planting.
At the end of the winter everything
looked green and the buds Of fruit
trees were in an advanced state, prom.
ising an abundant crop. During
March, however, the temperature fell
rapidly to the normal or slightly be-
low and the heavy frosts damaged
fruit especially, and wheat, oats, ETC.,
to some extent. Favorable weather
during April greatly improved wheat.
and oats, and probably the damage to
fruit excepting peaches and plums,
may not be SO great as was antici-
pated. On the whole, on the COM
mencement of the issue of the Crop
Bulletin it may be said that the pros
poets for the coming season are very
fair.
The reports of correspondents for
the week ending Friday, April 25th,
are generally favorable, though the
temperature during the early part of
the week was below the average and
frosts occurred on the mornings of
the 18th and goth, killing tender veg
tables, melon vines, nipping young
corn and injuring tobacco plants.
Most correspondents remark, however,
that the injury is not nearly so great
as was apprehended. The latter part
of the week was warmer. The rain
fall has been deficient and the SUM-
shine about the average with favor
able effect on all crops. Corn planting
is probably nearly completed, and the
planting Of cotton is progressing rapid
ly, some early paintings are large
enough for hoeing 1t is generally
reported that tobacco plants are being
injured by the flies. Gardens are do
ing well
EASTERN DISTRICT In this district
the rain fall and temperature have
been below the average. Sunshine
was about the usual amount. Some
damage by frost to vegetables, and in
the the south eastern portion melons
will have to be replanted in places.
Cotton planting commenced this
week.
GENITAL DISTRICT. A deficiency of
temperature and rainfall with plenty
of sunshine is reported in this dis
trict, with generally favorable effect.
Cool weather is said to have injured
tobacco plants, but the flies have done
more damage than the weather.
Wheat and oats doing we'll Cotton
planting is well advanced in this section
and corn seems to be making a good
stand. The light showers at the end
of the week have benefited gardens
Frost did little damage.
WESTERN DISTRICT. An average
temperature prevailed in this section,
the season being ali that could be de.
sired, and farmers are well advanced
with their work. The deficiency in
rainfall early in the week has been
made up by light showers on Friday.
