IT has been terrible disappointment TO
the anti-pension shriekers that not single
one Of their predictions about the bank
ruptcy Of the Treasury have come true, or
even approached truth. The Government
has had suficency of money for the pur-
chase of all the bonds offered, and for every
other purpose. This will not deter them,
however, from spawning another batch OF
lies, and insisting upon their truth with
usual Virulenee.

PROSPERITY OF FARMERS.


The sole capital OF certain politicians are
jeremiads over the awful miseries of the
farmers. That the farmers have serious
troubles there is no doubt; they would not
belong TO humanity if they did not have.
Like the rest Of us, they are prone to con-
slider their particular troubles more grievous
than anybody else's But admitting the ex-
istence OF great evils and abuses which de-
mand reform, we think it demonstrable that
on TIE whole farming is as profitable as any
business in the country, and that farmers,
as a class, have really better times than the
men engaged in any other vocation. The
eyes Of the farmers are filed with the
spectacles Of few men in every business,
who have made large fortunes, so that they
cannot see the intimate number of other men
in the same business who have either made
little more than bare living or else failed
altogether. Ii is as misleading to accept the
great riches Of few men in any branch of
business as n fair average OF the profits Of
the business as it would be TO accept a GER
tain Bartlett pear orchard in New York
which returns lis owner an average return
Of $1,000 an acre year as an average of the
profits Of fruit growing in the whole country.
Col. Robert /. Doan, OF Ohio, brought out
some facts very perlinently in recent
speech at Washington Courthouse, in that
State:
Thirty-nine out OF every 30 lawyers, 81 out OF
every g bankers, % out 81 every % merchants 81
out OF every - manufacturers and capitalists. and
- out Of every 10 la all other professions and
trades die ia poverty aud bankruptcy, while, on
the other hand 40 out Of every 10 farmers die
surrounded with wealth, comfort, and pIeaty.
Undoubtedly, life on farm is full of
labor and solicitude, but so is life in every
other vocation. The farmer has to fight a
constant battle with insects, the elements,
the sharpers, the railroads, etc, but every
other man has the same sort of battle to
fight with just as dangerous enemies. The
farmer has his years Of bad crops and OF
low prices. The merchant and manuiac-
tuFer have their years of loss, and their
seasons of stagnation. For example, we
have had two open Winters in succession.
The result has been enormous losses to
manufacturers and dealers in wooden goods,
warm clothing, sleighs, and thousand and
one articles that cold weather makes de-
mand for. The manufacturer, who may be
getting rich this year By a monopoly of
some specially, may have his business ruined
next year by change in fashions, or some
new invention, which destroys the sale of
his goods.
We have had pretty wide experience
with business men in all sections of the
country, and the result is a firm belief that,
in the course Of a lifetime, the same amount
OF brains, energy, and industry will secure
a larger reward on a farm than in any other
pursuit.

THE Mityleue affair has Gained down in
a curious way without any disturbance of
the peace of Europe, such as seemed inevi-
table. Explanations were Immediately
asked by the Porte Of the English Govern
ment as 10 its reasons for occupying the
island. The answer was eyaded, for various
reasons for several days, until the effect of the
incident could be seen on Russia. In the mean
while the Russians had given assurances to
the British that they meditated no breaking
Of the peace Of Europe, aud then the English
Government explained that the occupation
Of the island was merely manuyer by the
feet, and that it only lasted two days. AT
the same time there were authorized cx-
pressions by the English newspapers that il
the Porte could not maintain the closure oil
the Dlrdanelles that England stood ready
to do it herself This is the present status
Of the affair. Russia understands that
England is ready TO fight if she persists in
the disregard Of the provisions OF the treaty
of Berlin; and as, apparently, Russia is not
ready to fight, she will desist from overt
acts. The situation in Europe is therefore
still strained, bat has much more peace
able outlook than it did last week.

him to join the GAR, knowing he had been a
brave and gallant soldier. and that he would be
an honor TO the organization. i used every
argument to induce him 10 allow me 20 propose

IN ALL her centuries OF fighting England
has never put so many Englishmen on q
field Of battle as we put Americans upon
some minor battleGells, like Stone River
The greatest number Of British troops that
ever appeared on any battlefield did not
exceed 10000. The British soldiers Of
Waterloo numbered only p 900. Rosecrans
had $4,000 men at Stone River. and Grant
$4,000 ihe first day al Shiloh. The Union
army lost more killed on the field Of battle
than England has lost in all the wears that

END OF ANOTHER BLUE AND GRAY
EPISODE.

In view Of the repeated manifestations Of
the veterans inyeterate hostility toward
these maudlin affairs, il is amazing that
certain shallow scntimentalists and blatant
politicians win continue 10 try to force the
survivors Of ehe Union Army into them.
When they refuse 10 go into them, the frus-
trated papers and politicians set up clsmor
about keeping up the animosties Of the
war" nursing sectional bitterness" the
men who did no fighting during the war
now getting mad" the suffers, and the
far-in-the-rear fellows get in their innings"
etc, and they read Us lessons about how
truly brave men always respect each
other real fighting men have no troublein
getting along together; it is only The fellows
who never did any fighting who viii not
make peace" And someone is sure TO tell
a story he has heard some veteran relate
about the exchange Of ciyiities, and coffee
and tobacco 90 the pcllet-line, as an illustra-
ton OF The way real fighting men regard and
treat each other.
All this is the most utter nonsense,
and has no bearing whatever on the case.
il could only be expressed by men who are
incapable Of understanding how man who
fought for the Union really feels toward his
late foemen.
The vanquished were never treated by the
yictors with more marked kindness and re-
spect than The rebels have ever been by the
Union soldiers We challenge the world 10
show more exalted courtesy than the Army
Of the Tennessee showed to the 10000 pris-
oners it captured at Vickshurg; than the
Army Of the Potomac showed to nearly
I twice rs many which il captured from
Petersburg 10 Appomattox; than Shcrmans
army showed to tho host which surrendered
to il at Durham Station. We may 20 still

prevails that war will soon break
out nobody anticipates that it will
be war between France and
Germany. Last nights advices
from Constantinople state that the
foreign residents are more aroused
than they have been for years and
that no doubt is entertained that
Russia will attack the Turks. Sc
pronounced is this belief that some
foreign residents are preparing tc
leave Stamboul for Italy and thus
escape being crushed between the
combatants.

MASS MEETING
To Consider Plans For a Proper 0bser-
vance Of October lst.

Last evening there assembled in
Metropolitan hall a number of lead
ing citizens to consult as to plans
for having a grand opening day of
the Exposition. Mayor Badger
was called to the chair and Mr.. E.
G. Harrell was chosen secretary.
Mr.. j. M. Broughton, upon in
vitation, gave it as his opin-
ion that the citizens should
heartily celebrate the opening Of
the Exposition. He said every bus
iness man he had consulted was en-
Enthusiastically in favor of it. He
wanted to get the business men of
the city together and form some
plan for the celebration.
Mr.. Alex. Stronach was next
called upon and advocated the clos
ing of business houses from l l until
4 O'Clock.
A motion was made by Mr.. Frank
Stronach that all citizens meet at
the Central graded school, and that
a committee of five be appointed to
wait on the business men and secure
their cooperation.
Mr.. n. B. Broughton spoke in
favor of the general closing of
schools, factories and business es-
Establishments of every kind. Fay
etteville street should be fully deco
rated. He suggested that the city
expend $500 in the decoration,
erection of arches, etc. Raleigh
will loose much if not properly dec
Grated on that day.
Mr.. j. E. Pogue endorsed Mr..
Broughton's views and Mr.. Stron-
ach's motion, and advocated the ap.
: pointment Of a committee Of eight
to take charge of the celebration
; Mr.. E.. G. Harrell said that the
, Exposition was much greater
} thing than the people have any idea
: 1t has been widely advertised.
