WISE WORDS.

1t seems certain that the Alliance
can get two of its measures-the tree
coinage of silver and the reform OF the
tarif-th through the next congress. 1t
seems also certain that the securing
of these two measures would give the
order such prestige with the country
by relieving the situation that it could
demand any other just measure Of
reform with the certainty of success.
The vital question just now Is, will
our brethren have enough of wise con-
serstism to undertake, with might
and main, the things that are possible,
or will they take the unwritten and
unspoken risks of attempting the doubt
full? In few words, these are the
questions that press for answering now,
they must be, they will be, answered,
one way or the other, within the next
few months. Do we need the union
of all our forces? Do the needs OF the
country demand the union of all our
forces? Can we win with disunited
and contending factions? Shall the
conservatism that has always been the
boast of the farming classes make itself
dominant in the present crisis? We
assure our readers that these are i'm
mensely important questions. As these
questions shall be answered SO shall it
be we'll or i'll with the Alliance move
ment.

The pay of our State officers should
be increased. in justice to them, and
in honor to ourselves.
Their $50 called salaries are IN
sufficient to the full and liberal dis
charge of the duties and responsibilities
demanded of them. a man cannot
act wisely and think generously with
the wolf at the door. His convictions
are engendercd by environment and
his Judgment stintcd by the irrepres-
sible thought of how can | make my
pay meet current expenses: l do not
mean to say they arc actually on the
ber-but should not be required to
look for living from other sources
than that of the office they hold while
serving the State with their whole time,
ability and talent. We cry aloud Tor
the ables statesmen, the ripest scholars
the profoundest jurists, to administer
and execute the laws of the land and
then pretend to remunerate them with
Just sufficient money to buy vlctuals
and clothes, unmindful of the Divine
precept. that 1.-THE laborer is worthy
of his hire
We pay the Governor of North Car
Dina $4,000 a year, an amount fixed
upon when the population was about
three hundred thousand, just one cent
a head. Now it is--nearly million
and a half, in round numbers, one-tifth
IA cent per capita, while the duties
u nd RESPONSIBILITIES are six times as
great.
Our Chief Justice and Associates are
in the same position. Will the apos-
ties of labor unions, and the eight hour
law and more pay advocates include
these, too. in their demands? They
have no combine and ''walking dele
gates'' to command them to strike Tor
an advance in wages and hold no more
courts, and execute no more laws until
it is conceded. Look upon that picture
and then upon this.
New York pays her Governor ten
thousand dollars year, just two cents
a head on her five millions Of inhabl-
tants, and her judges in like ratio; is
it worth any more to preside over the
Commonwealth of New York, or hold
the scales of justice with an even hand
for it's citizens prorata than it IS IN
North Carolina? If so, why? We both
use the same forms and the same STAN
dard for the same purposes. The IN
crease of duties with the increase OF
population is more than twenty times
what it was for our fathers, why should
we expect or require our servants to
work for the same pay they did for
them? They are just as efficient and
honorable, however eminent, with
many original and complicated ques-
lions with which they were not tamil
lar, that calls for the highest order of
State craft and judicial perception.

Peanuts were worth SO cents a
bushel last fall, but many of the pea
nut farmers held their crops in expec-
tation of a rise. Now they are worth
so cents bushel. These facts the
Nashville AMerltaN makes use of to
illustrate the absurdity Of the sub
treasury scheme. "Suppose, it says,
"that the planters who have held their
peanuts had turned them into sub
treasures last fall and had loans of
O. cents a bushel, So per cent of the
market price, and suppose now that
the Government should sell the peanuts
off at SO cents bushel, there would be
a difference of IL cents bushel against
the planter, besides interest at two

A kiss he took and backward look,
And her heart grew suddenly lighter;
trihe. you say, to color day,
ct the dull gray morn seemed brighter.
For hearts are such that tender touch
May Danish a look of sadness;
A small, slight thing can make us sing,
But frOwn Will check our gladness.
The clerriest ray along our way
Is the little act of kindness,
And the keenest sting some careless thing
That was done in a moment of blindness.
We can bravely face life in home where
strife
No foOthOld can discover,
And be lovers still, if we only will,
Though youths bright days are over.
All, sharp as swords cut the unkind words
That are far beyond recalling;
When face lies hid meath a coffin lid,
And bitter tears are falling;
We fam would give half the lives we live
To undo our idle scorning;
Then let us not miss the smile and kiss
When we part in the light Of morning.
