The Sermon

l lc GCA13 III y IoilIbS HCdICiS, io GdhCH from the laws of the Tables of Stone:
 "Six days shalt thou labor.'
 We hear in these times great many sermons on keeping Sunday. The pulpit rightly speaks out against Sunday trains Sunday excursions and Sunday ball play. ing. But how seldom do we hear ser. mon on "Six days working.n Yet there is as much dissertation of that law, as there is of keeping Sunday holy. In fact if more people would work six days in the week, they would be more ready tC rest and worship God on Sunday. Sc here a voice is raised to incite men tC work in this wOrk-a-day world. Good Farmer Brown might have studied and practiced this text to advantage, last Winter. He did his chores in the short days and then went in and sat by the stove to scold his wife, perhaps, and to make the little ones wish that "father' was somewhere else. This Spring, when he got ready to begin farming, he found that the plough needed bolt or two, the harrow was minus three teeth and the wagon needed a new coat of paint. All of these things he might have attended to in those six days when he was loung- ing over the kitchen stove or loafing about the store babbling nonsense o1 worse with his neighbors. He might have mended up his chicken coops and painted the tools, got out few extra ae tot ts se poor neighbor, if he had only worked every one of the six days. Why, if the shop hands had taken as much time of as he did, last Winter, they would every one of them be nibbling on the last crust and pounding on the bottom of the meal tub for enough to make gruel. In the Summer, Farmer Brown will growl about hard times, forgetting that
 "In every rank great or small
 'Tis industry supports us all.
 How this text applies to useless Miss Whitehands. She sits in her stuffed chair with her lily hands folded and in all the six days she does nothing but nurse her aches and pains, with never finger lift ed in toll for self or others. Poor thing, what would she think to go out and work for others and make the world better by her labor in those six days! All her pains would vanish and the allopath and the hydropath would no longer doctor her to her hurt and the advantage of their purses. The poor dear ought to learn the song of Lowell,
 "No man is born into the world whose work Is not born with him; there is always work And tools to work withal, for those who will 1; And blessed are the horny hands ot toil."
 But the text is general, as well as spec ial in it's application. It breaches to the dude, to the devotee of fashion, to the rum hole tippler and to the lazy idler, having one message for them all and that message is "Work! Work! Work '" Work is panacea for many wearinesses of the body, it is balm for many sick nesses of the mind, it is health for the disease of the soul. For the Scripture saith, "Work out your own salvation" Let Whittier's advice close the lesson of the day:
 'sThine to work, as well as pray,
 Clearing thorny wrongs away;
 Plucking up the weeds of sin,
 Letting Heavens warm sunshine in"

Reciprocity and Shtpping.

The Atlanta Chamber of Com
merce has adopted strong resolutions
in favor of Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity
treaties, and practically in favor of
the Farquhar shipping or tonnage
bill. The principal opposition to
that measure comes from uniformed
sources. Some Democrats, among
whom are unfortunately several Vir-
ginia Congressman, oppose the bill
on the ground that it is un-Demo
cratic. In the ten years of Demo
cratic rule from 1851 to 1860 inclu-
sive, the Government paid out in
mail transportation snbsidies-sub-
sides, mind you-over $l5, GOO, 900.
This sum is more than has been paid
for marine mail transportation by
Republican administrations in all
the years since the close of the war.
Under the stimulus of those subsi-
dies the American merchant marine
increased at an unparalleled rate.
The present tonnage bill is not q
subsidy measure. 1t is general in
its terms and any American who
will build and sail an American ship,
officer it with Americans and gradu-
ally man it with Americans, can BEN
eft by its operations.-RoanokeTimes.

Death OF Colonel Humphrey.

Col. Lott W. Humphrey, of Colds
boro, died at his home in that city
Thursday night at 1890, of a second
stroke of paralysis. He was stricken
last summer, but rallied, and his
family and friends INDUCED the hope
chat he was recovering.
Colonel Humphrey was a native of
Onslow, represented that county in
the lower house of the Legislature
from 1854 to 1856, and in the Senate
from 1858 to 1860. During the war
he removed to Goldsboro, and in
1S72-'73 represented Wayne and
sDuplin in the Senate.
In 1874 Governor Caldwell ap-
pointed him President of the Atlantic
and North Carolina Railroad, which
position he held for three years.
Colonel Humphrey was the son of
wealthy parents, and always pos
sessed large means. He was q lawyer
by profession, and a man Of fine abil-
tiles. He was an advanced thinker on
all subjects to which be gave his
mind, was liberal and enterprising,
and has given the State some of the
best thoughts on the subject of inter
nal improvement and kindred mat
ters of development He was a val
liable man to his State and commu-
nifty, an agreeable and pleasing COM
paniOn, and a good friend.

1t is fact worthy of a note and
which should be han..ed down to DOS
terity, that when the old Whig was
at it's zenith Richmond was really the
focus of political thought in the
United States. The Enquirer was
then the acknowledged organ of the
Democratic party, as the Whig was
Of the Wing party. The New York
Herald and papers of that character
were merely side shows in the great
arena of American politics, which ra-
dated from Virginia with Richmond
as the centre Then it was that the
Enquirer was looked upon as the
Democratic oracle and the Whig as
the mouth-piece of the great politi-
cal rival of the Democracy. The
greatest statesmen of the land in
those days hesitated to take any de-
cisive stan:' until they first learned
what Virginia thought as expressed
in these acknowledged organs of the
two great parties of the country.

We understand that the sending
back of Senator Williams interest
bill co the committee on judiciary
was intended to kill it. We ehope our
information is incorrect. We hope
the legislature may see it's way clear
to either pass the bill or vote it down.
We have been, and we are, and we
expect to be, in favor of reducing th.,
rate of interest. But we have little
concern about the matter, because we
know the people have power to set
tie this matter; and we can wait two
years longer for the educating effects
of Alliance agitation upon this sub

CLEVELAND AGAINST SILVER.
Southern and Western Men Declare Him
Out of the Race
CLEVELAND MUST GO,

CLEVELAND MUST GO.
Senator Pugh, of Alabama.-The
appearance of Mr.. Cleveland's letter
in connection with the meeting of the
"gold bugs is a direct attempt to
influence pending legislation against
free coinage and against the will of
the people. Free coinage will be the
paramount issue in 1892, as it is
now, and my people will not vote for
any man whose attitude on this ques-
ION is hostile to theirs. When they
are confronted with the question
whether they shall throw MIR. Cleve
land overheard or free silver, Mr..
Cleveland will have to go. He will
not get the vote of a single Southern
State in the next Democratic couven-
ton.
VANCE CALLS 1T DEFIANT.
Senator Vance, of North Carolina.
Mr.. Cleveland's position on the sill
yer question is not common differ
ence, but a defiance of his party. His
whole attitude on this subject is one
of defiance-almost insult to the
Democratic party. 1t is now a ques-
ton whether the Democratic party
will sacrifice it's principles or give up
Mr.. Cleveland. Un.ler the circum-
stances I prefer my party to Mr..
Cleveland.
FREE SILVER AND STATES RIGHTS.
Representative Bland, of Missouri.
Cleveland was quiet during the
fight on the force bill, when we were
struggling to preserve the rights OF
the whole people and prevent a revo-
luton, but when the money bags OF
Wall street are threatened he rushes
to their aid. 1t is ridiculous to re-
gard any man as a candidate for the
Presidency on the Democratic ticket
who is not for free silver.
NOT A "PRACTICABLE STATESMAN. -
Senator Barbour, of Virginia.
have never regarded Mr.. Cleveland as
o practical statesman, and his views
on the silver question further confirm
my original opinion. He must have
observed that a large majority OF
the people have declared in favor OF
free coinage, and as his views are in
the opposite direction, he can hardly
expect the Democratic party to pam
der to his theories
WEST AND SOUTH ONE WAY.

Senator Morgan, of Alabama.-I

not be the nominee of the Democrat
