more forcible manner. Mr.. Settlesi is
at decided disadvantage in defend
ing his party's disgraceful record dur
ing the last two years, and Mr.. Bar
Der gets in some home thrusts on the
force bill, silver coinage and the
tariff.
Whether it is Just or not, the i'm
preston made on the listener is that
Mr.. Settle does not believe in many of
the principles which he essays to de-
fend. Many of his arguments, though
loudly proclaimed, are halfhearted.
The speaker doesn't appear to be con-
WINGED that they are right, and the
effect on his hearers doesn't encourage
him much.
Mr.. Barber speaks as if every word
he said was pure truth and he believed
in it with his whole soul. OF course
he carries conviction, and he is max.
ing Democratic votes every time he
speaks.
We are glad to note that both can.
didates are conducting a clean cam
paign. They tell no smutty stories,
and their conduct and language to-
ward each other is always courteous
and gent]emanly.

TO INCREASE THE REVENUE.

Mr.. Brewer and other Republican
leaders are fond of telling the people
that their only hope of the repeal Of
the Internal Revenue system is in the
Republican party. Senator Plumb,
a Republican, has introduced an
amendment to the Mckinley Bill in
creasing the tax. This is the amend
ment: THAT from and after 60 days
from the passage ofthe act, there shall
be levied and collected on all distilled
spirits thereafter produced in the Uni
ted States tax CTS 25 on each proof
gallon or wine gallon when below proof
to be paid by the distiller, owner or
person having possession thereof, be-
fore removal from the distillery or
bonded warehouse; on the first day of
May, 1891. and annually thereafter,
recti6ers of distilled spirits shall pay
an annual special tax of $500, and
wholesale liquor dealers shall pay
similar tax of $3.50, both in lieu of the
tax now imposed by section 1924 of
the Revised Statutes" Congressman
Henderson is the only man who has been
able to secure vote on the repeal of
this unjust tax and then the Republi-
cans voted it down. Who is respon-
sible for this Internal revenue system
anyway?

The Oolored Brother Kicking.
[From the National Democrat.1

From the National Democrat
The white Republicans of the South
are beginning to find their colored
brother obstreperous. So long as the
colored brother was willing to vote
and asked for nothing there were just
enough federal offices to 60 around
among the white Republicans and
everything was lovely-for the pale
faced emigrants from the North. But
the black Republican is beginning to
clamor for Offices, and the white Re-
publican is in trouble. At the Re
publican convention in the Seventh
Georgia District last Monday one
colored brother from Barlow county
was loud in denunciation of the Ad-
ministration. He declared the Re
publican party was only kept together
in Georgia for the purpose Of bringing
the Office holders to the front. His
speeches-he made a number-were
vigorous kicks because the colored
brother is not sufficiently recognized.
So far as the negro is concerned, he
said, there is no difference between
the administrations Of Harrison and
Cleveland.

MR.. H. C. FULTON.

This is the gentleman whom the
Democrats of Stokes and Forsyth
counties expect to elect as their next
Senator.
He lives in Belew's Creek township
and is solid, industrious farmer. He
has large circle of relatives living in
both counties, some of whom belong
to the Republican party, and it is con-
fidently stated by those best acquaint-
ed with the facts that every one of
them will vote for him.
He is a man of ability and is a
strong and forcible debater, handling
the questions Of the day easily and il
diligently. If elected, he will make
a faithful, watchful, careful representa-
tive.
His connection with the Alliance
has brought him into contact with
people in all parts of the county and
he will have active workers in his
behalf in every township.
The Alliance has stamped him with
its approval. 1t was the Alliance and
its friends that nominated him, and
now we want to say to the members
of the Alliance that we speak for the
Democrats of Winston and Salem
when we say that this city will give
him lis earnest support, as it has al
ways done to every candidate whom
our farmer friends have named If
the Alliance Democrats Of the country
will only work as faithfully for Mr..
Fulton as the Democrats of this city.
we will send him to Raleigh by
majority.

original pieces in our possess to-day.
A collection is within the reach of al

What Bacteria Are,

The great majority of these micro

bacteria, the smallest form of vege-

wonld take, in some cases, as many as
fifteen thousand of them arranged in a
row TO extend an inch They have
different forms, some being round.
some oval, some od-shaped. and 9th

spiral. In all cases they are so small
that one needs n powerful microscope

perceive them singly with the naked

When countless millions OF them are
grouped together in mass or colony,
we can see them about as we are able
to see at a great distance an approach

able to distinguish a single soldier.

Bacteria multiply very rapidly, and
they do this in strange way. A sip

half grows to he as large as the first.
Then these, in turn, divide up again,

To give you the figures, such as they
are, single one can multiply at so

Bassett of the Delaware State, wrot,
Senator Maclay of Pennsylvania in hi
diary. We went to the Presidents tC
dinner. The company were; Presi
dent and Mrs. Washington, Vice Presi
/ dent and Mrs. Adams, the Governor
and his wife, Mr. Jay and wife, Mr.
Langdon and wife, Mr.. Dalton aud {
lady, perhaps his wife, and Mr. Smith

taries. The President and Mrs. Wash

middle of the table. The two secre
taIies, one at each end. 1t was a great
dinner, and the best of the kind | was
ever at. The room, however. was dis
agreeably warm. First was the soup
fish, roasted and boiled meats, gam.
mon, fowls, etc. This was the dinner.
The middle of the table was garnished
in the usual tasty way with small
images. flowers (artifcial, etc.
The desert was, first, apple-pie, pud-
ding, etc. then iced creams, jellies
etc; then watermelons, muskmelons,
apples, peaches, nuts. 1t was the most
solemn dinner ever | sat at Not a
health drink; scarce word said until
the cloth was taken away. Then the
President, taking glass of wine, with
great formality drank to the health OF
every individual by name round the
table. Everybody initiated him, charg-
ed glasses, and such buzz of health,
sir, and health, madam, and thank you.
sir, and thank YOU, madam, never had
l heard before. Indeed, L had like to
have been thrown ont in the hurry.
but L got little wine in my glass and
passed the ceremony.
The ladies sat a good while. and the
bottles passed about; but there was q
dead silence almost. Mrs. Washington
withdrew with the ladies. / expected
the men would now begin, but the
same stiffness remained. The Presi-
dent told of a New England clergyman
who had lost hat and wig in passing
a river called the Brunks. He smiled,
and everybody else laughed. He now
and then said sentence or two on
some common subject, and what he
said was not amiss. Mr.. Jay tried TO
raise n laugh by mentioning the cir
cumstance OF the Duchess of Devon
shire leaving no stone uuturned to
carry Fox's election. There was Mr..
Smith. who mentioned how Homer de-
scribed Eneas leaving his wife aud
carrying his father out of flaming Troy.
He had heard somebody Il supposed
witty on the occasion; but if he had
ever read it he would have said Virgil.
The President kept fork in his hand,
when the cloth was taken away. l
thought for the purpose of picking
nuts. He ate no nuts, however, but
played with the fork, striking on the
edge of the table with it. We did not
sit long after the ladies retired. The
President rose, went up stairs to drink
coffee; the company followed. L took
my hat and came home.

Tact Even ian Begging,

A well-known New York restaurant
runs through an entire block, with
doors opening into two streets. Nearly
all the patrons of the place enter al

ragged tramp stood for an hour at the
latter door and begged piteously for a
penny to buy something to eat with
out meeting with any success. Then
an idea occurred to him, and he walked
rapidly around to the other door, and
poured forth his plant to those enter
ing the restaurant. He succeeded adj
mirably, and gathered in a good deal
of coin. He deserved it, too, for he was
bright enough to see that hungry men
