Col. PeIk,s Mistake.

, The Clinton Caucasian, which
is the official organ of the Farm
er's Alliance Of Sampson county,
and whose editor Mr.. Marion
Butler their candidate) has just
been elected to the State Senate,
says this of the attack made on
Senator Vance by the Progress
sive Farmer.
The Progressive Farmer is
making O mistake, a mistake
that puts members of the Alli-
ance all over the State in q false
light; but il is a mistate that will
damage no one as much as the
paper itself. The paper has done
q great deal of good in North
Carolina; it walked up the peo.
pie and put them to thinking
but that is all any paper can do
for the people think for them
selves. The people, and ALI
cepeople at that, have thought
tee Vance matter over and have
rendered their verdict. q verdict
decided by Alliance votes. That
verdict is, that there is not {
man in North Carolina who il
better able or who will defenC
the peoples rights and advocat,
their cause more zealously ant
honestly in the Senate Of th,
United States than z. b. Vance
In the Democratic caucus of tn,
next Legislature he will be nom
mated on the first ballot IL no
by acclamation. IL he shoul,
fail to do this, then the peopl
condemn him with the sam
strength with which they hav,
loved and trusted him.

Rev. Thomas Dixen's opinion.

IL power to draw crowds is
any indication, one of this coun-
try's coming preachers is Rev.
Thomas Dixon, Jr., of New York
Rev. Mr.. Dixon lately preached
a sermon on "Sensationlism VS..
Traditionalism," in which he
spoke, among other things, of
the New York Central strike.
He declared the strike had been
a three-fold loss; to the men, to
the company and to the public.
Forty lives had been lost be-
cause of it. Formerly it was
the custom to speak of public
roads as the kings highways,
and the public highways known
as railways belonged to the
State. They have been granted
to companies on such conditions
that they still belong tothe peo-
pie. Therefore the people, that
is to say, the State, should now
take hold of them again, and
run them in the interest Of the
public. With national or State
ownership Of railways the brib-
ing of legislatures by railroad
companies would cease, and the
public itself would be treated
with some consideration by rail-
way employees.
Then Mr.. Dixon alluded to the
fact that he had been q sensa-
tional preacher. He said:
"Christ was the greatest sem
sation there has ever been, and
the Bible is themost sensation
al book ever written. The
trouble with many preachers
today is that their collars are so
high and stiff that they can't
climb over them to get at the
people. l would rather be a
drummer in the Salvation Army
and save men; / would rather
be a human sandwich, with the
gospel on my breast and back,
and rescue souls, than preach
in q frescoed temple to q hand
full Of old men and women who
have gone to church SO long
that they have sacred rheumat-
ISM"

they never do after the first mis-
step is made. Mail pilforers are
traced much after the way q
railway timetable is made up
by a system of marks on q
chart. Letters of complaint
come from several quarters;
they center upon some one rail-
way line or post office;the loca-
tion of the robberies sdetermin-
ed, and a careful watch is soon
rewarded with the thief.
Rathbone says the hest advice
to give one Of evil inclinations
is don't steal letters.
Both Democrats and Republi-
cans in the Senate express sat
isfaction at the return Of Gov
ernor Gorfon to that body. The
Georgia soldier was always a
popular member of the Senate
and when he went away left no
stings behind. His bearingw
that of the chialric man, and he
made close friends even among
his political enemies. In Wash
ington he was a conspicuous
figure, a scar on his face always
calling out the information that
it was a sabre cut received in
battle. AS a senator his course
was conservative, and the only
trouble he ever had occurred
with Roscoe Conkling, which
episode, by the way, people
thought would end with d duel,
but this was happily eyerted by
the wise counsels of Senator,
now Justice, Lamar, of Missis-
sippi, and the good sense and
discretion Of the men them
selves. Gordon made a fine re-
cord as a senator; it is but nat
ural to expect that his futnre
will but add to it.

still continues from the Reedites

Enjoyment at Home.
Lexington Ledger.

Don't shut up your house,
lest the sun should fade your
carpets; and your hearts, lest a
merry laugh should shake down
some of the musty old cobwebs
there. If you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that all
mirth and social enjoyment
must be left on the threshold
without, when they come home
at night. When once a home is
regarded as only a place to eat,
drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in reckless de-
graduation. Young people must
have fun and relaxation some-
where; if they don't have it at
their own hearthstone it will be
sought at other and, perhaps, at
less profitable places. There
fore, let the fire burn brightly
at night, and make the home
stead delightful with all those
little arts that parents SO per-
fectly understand.
Don't repress the buoyant
spirit of your children; half an
hour of merriment around the
lamp and freight of a home
blots out many a care and an
noyance during the day, and
the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world
is the unseen influence of a
bright little domestic circle.
Put home first and formost, for
there will come a time when
the home-circle will be broken;
when you will ''long for the
touch of a vanished hand, and
the sound Of a voice that is still;'
and when your greatest pleas
ure will be in remembering that
you did all in your power TO put
a song under every burden to
make each other happy.

General Gordon's Victory.
Phi.adsiphis Times

General Gordon's Victory.
Phiiadslphis Times
There will be general rejoicing in
the North as well as in the South
over tie triumphant election Of
Governor Gordon TO the senate by
the Georgia Legislature. Only a
man of Gordon's sublime courage
and heroic record could have won
the Senatorshlp In a Legislature
that is ten to one Farmers Alliance
men, in the face Of his manly dec
laration against the wild sub-treas-
nry scheme Of the Alliance, and his
election is victory for public in
tegrty and for public manhood.
Genaral Gordon has MANY times
proved his exceptional courage. Not
only on the battlefield, where his
heroism was the very romance of
war, but in all the conflicts Of peace
he has been as brave as when he
led his division in the fame of bat
tie. He bad the courage to teach
peace as he with other heroes of
both the blue and the gray, bore
the remains of Grant 10 the City of
the Silent, and he was equally he
oric when he brayed the blatant
aemagogues who promised the op-
pressed farmers the free spoliation
OF the Treasury. and told them that
he could favor no such measure
and that such legislation would
produce industrial ehos.
Just nos the South needs her
ablest. wisest and ripest men in the
councils of the nation, and we
heartily congratulate the Empire
State Of the South on the return Of
General Gordon TO the Senate.

A Graceful Tribute from Col.
Ing~rsoll.
Ees York Star.

In a recent symposium on wo-
man, Colonel Robert G.. Inger-
soil was asked to contribute his
views. He replied as follows:
"It takes a hundred men to
make an encampment, but one
woman can make a home. Inot
only admire woman as the most
beautiful object ever created,
but | reverence her as the re-
deeming glory of humanity, the
sanctuary of all the virtues, the
pledge of all perfect qualities of
heart and head. IL is not just
or right TO lay the sins of men
at the feet of women. Il is be-
cause women are so much bet
ter than men tha- their faults
are considered greater.
The one thing in this world
that is constant, the one peak
that rises above all clouds, the
one window in which the light
forever burns, the one star that
darkness cannot quench, is wo-
mems love. II rises to the great.
est heights, it sinks to the low.
est depths, II forgives the most
cruel injuries. II is perennial
Of life, and grows in every
climate. Neither coldness noi
neglect, harshness nor cruelty,
can extinguish il. A woman's s
love is the perfume Of the heart
This is the real love that sub
dues the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles of art; that
gives us music all the way from
the cradle song to the grand
closing symphony that bears
the soul away on wings of fire
A love that is greater than pow
er, sweeter than life and strong
er than DEATH"

VOICE FROM KANSAS.
What the Farmers Alliance
Paper Says.

| @ Taper says
The Farmers Advocate, off.
cial paper of the Farmers ALI.
ance or Peoples party of Kansas,
has the following to say of the
future Of the party: .~.
"We shall at once commence
to marshal hosts of people for
the conflict in 1892. In this
great work there are many pre-
Hjudices to be overcome. Section
al lines must be abolished, in
lterest which are identical must
be brought together, and COM
bined forces of agricultural and
laboring classes must be consoli-
dated against forces of corpora
tions, monopolies, trusts, syndi-
Gates and moneyed aristocrats
who have for years feasted up
on the substance of the people.
The coming contest will not
take place between the northern
and southern sections of our
country. The interests of the
people of the West and South
are identical, and their political
forces must be consolidated
against the power of corporte
greed. 1t has been and is the
holy mission of the Farmers
Alliance to subdue sectional
prejudice, which has been kept
up by professional politicians in
the interest of monopoly. 1t is
full time for this nation to be-
come united"

"There was q young man
once" says the Globe Demo-
crat, commenting on the recent
Republican disaster, "who wept
because he had broken his arm.
When q friend pointed out to
him that, under the circum-
stances, he was lucky in not
breaking his neck instead Of his
arm, he braced up. Let us brace
up" A pretty fable, calculated
to make the weeping eyes of
the g. o. p. see rainbows
through its tears. But there Is
another pretty fable more ap-
plicable to the present situation
and condition of the g. O. p.
which runs thus: "There was
a young man who once ran his
head against q stone wall and
went to the doctor and asked
him to set his arm. When the
doctor told him that his head
and not his arm was broken he
laughed at the doctor and ran
| full tilt against the wall again
| To prove that his head was all
right, and they gathered up his
brains and laid him away for
