BEHIND STONE WALLS.

a great room filled with plain benches;
a platform on which there is desk and
parlor organ; light streaming in from
queer barred windows far up the white
washed walls; an air of repression even
in the solitary fly buzzing about; a 81
lence almost visible filling the whole
space.
A door near the platform opens and a
bushy whiskered man enters. He es
corts up the steps to seats back of the
organ and desk a number of ladies and
gentlemen. He carries a heavy cane
which he grips tightly as he returns to
the door where four stalwart fellows
also armed with canes are ranged. He
asks them some question to which they
nod assent, and then remounting the
platform presses a button in the wall. A
bell clangs responsive to his touch, the
great gates at the other end of the
apartment swing wide, and there march
in a thousand men whose heads are
dOwncast, whose faces are clean shaver
and whose garments are alike as to every
detail
The right hand of each rests on the
shoulder OF the person just in front Of
him, and the step of the multitude is
synchronous. At the word of command
each company takes a certain aisle and
goes to designated seats All about in
the passageways are more people with
canes. Another touch of the electric
bell, and the big entrance closes. Six
guards armed with revolvers have their
station there.
The bushy whiskered man motions to
his companions on the platform. A lady
seats herself at the organ, the others
cluster about her. and in moment the
room is filled with melody. Patriotic
songs follow old fashioned hymns. Then
the village pastor sends up petition to
heaven ON behalf of those assembled,
and follows his prayer with short ad-
dress, touching in its tenderness AID ap-
peal. Again the bushy whiskered man
comes into prominence. He stands by
! the desk and says:
Men, since l have been warden of
this prison have never known a twelve
/ month in which greater order and good
/ discipline have prevailed than in the one
! just ended. | wish to show that I ap-
/ preciate your obedience. After dinner
! the remainder Of the day is yours YOU
may talk, smoke and sing as much as
/ you like, and each corridor in succession
will be granted the freedom of the yards
/ for exercise. Guard -. direct convict
/ 1,132 to step this way
/ At the order man still young, but
with ineffable sadness on his face,
walked to the front. He stands silently
before the warden who continues:
Il think you all know and like this
man. He has nursed you in sickness,
advised you against foolish outbreaks,
and, although never talebearer or spy
has greatly aided the keepers and myself
in elevating the tone of the prison and in
| rendering somewhat tolerable the re.
straint the law has placed upon you
James Wharton, he went on, turning
to the man before him, you are nc
longer 1882; You are now free citizen
of the United States, with all your
rights restored. The governor has
granted you a full pardon; your wife
mother and children wait for you in the
office; the big farm wagon is outside the
wall gates, and this afternoon YOU may
eat your dinner in the old country house
where yOu were born"

Leen spoiled by having things his own
way, frightening the tlmld and
dragooning the wayering until, 10
use the prevailing vernacular, s. he. Is
too large for his garments. . The
Democratic party IS not wide enough
for such a big man. He has now set
up q side show of his own conception,
called the Third party, where J.. l..
Polk is the owner and ringmaster, as
well. This expansion Of self must
cease else there will be an explosion
similar 10 that when the tabled frog
tried vainly to assume the dimensions
Of the OK Some eighteen hundred
years ago, a certain plausible parsonage
pointed to all the kingdoms OF the
world and the glory of them, and
said All these things | will give
thee if thou wilt fall down and
worship me-" This boast always struck
the world as pretty cheeky, especially
as investigation showed be did not
own an acre Of the property thus
offered. Neither can the Third party
candidate for Vice President begin to
deliver the goods he has promised
Now, am done with Col. Polk. My
next remarks are to AllianCcmen who
are Democrats from principle and
who are seeking no offices nor expect
ing any.
The Alliance had fully three -fourlhs
of the last Legislature. 1t has one
half of the Congressman. 1t has the
Secretary of State and Auditor. 1t
cannot have the judges, too, because
they are barred by their profession
from belonging to the order. What
more do you wish ? Do not be misled
by orators who seek to inaame your
prejudices, and who dare not face the
leaders of the Democracy they SANDER
and abuse. The demon that is rend-
ing your order is politics, and it will
never be healthy or sound until the
devil is cast out. The Democratic
party is not responsible for your con-
dition, for it has never had the power
to change or better it. At no time
since the surrender has it held the
presidency, the Senate and the House
at one and the same time. 1t is the
Billion Dollar Republican Congress
alone that is responsible for the de-
pletion of the Treasury. The Demo
cracy has, though, stood as strong
wall that has beat back the waves OF
hostile legislation and force bills for
more than q quarter of century. 1t
has rescued you, too, from the dircst
of Calamities, from reconstruction and
carpet-bag rule.
1t is related tina, pious old farmer
lost his wife. The minister Consoled
him with the message that the Lord
had given and had taken away, and
that it was unchristian to grieve. He
became resigned, though she WIS the
idol OF his life. He had two fine
horses. They took the dstemper and
died, one after the other, but his
spiritual adviser spoke similar words
of comfort and he complained not of
the affection though those horses
were the darlings of his affection. He
had now remaining only a small steer,
with which to work his crop. When
that animal was taken away, he be-
came rebellious and refused comfort,
saying "he didn't know what the
Lord wanted with an old steer" There
are two political parties in this country
and there is no need for 4 Third party
or an odd political steer.

THE CIVIL SERVICE HUM
PT1G

Senator Vance, in an interview with
a representative of the Raleigh CHron-
ifIe, thus expressed himself about the
civil service humbug:
"My civil-servlce views are we'll
known. l am opposed to civil service
out and out, especially to the way in
which it has been applied. 1t is well
known that when the law was applied
by the Republican administration be-
fore it went into effect almost every
office in the gift of the government
was filled by Republican. In no
case have the offices been divided be-
tween the parties, and whenever any
department of the government has
been transferred to what is known as the
classified service, in order to be sub
jected to civil-service rules, preliminary
thereto the same process of Republican
examining has been resorted to.
Notably this has been 50 in the case of
the railway mail service 1t has al
ways been my disposition 20 give the
fodder to the horse which pulls the
pillow. Awkward as it may sound, l
prefer, as a polite party man, to adopt
the motto sto the victors belong the
spoils, rather than the converse, that
the spoils belong to the vanquIshed,
If the men who win the fight are not
entitled to the offices, it is neither
justice nor common sense nor ordinary
decency to say that they shall be held
by those who lost the fight

If plumbers never had to plumb,
How happy we should be!

If Johnny had no Christmas drum.
Ii BARRIERS one and all were dumb,
How happy we should be!
If car rides never cost a cent,
How happy we should bel
II fathers always gave consent
And were not quite so truculent;
If there were no such thing as rent,
How happy we should be!
II cooks would give up kerosene.
How happy we Shoald be!
And when the other players keen
Keep raising us with smile serene,
II we could only draw that queen,

How happy we shonld be!
If business men were full of dash
And advertised to make things brash,
