A Pretty Surprise.

A beautiful illustrated and charm
ingly bound edition of Longfellow' S
'sEvangeline, the most popular long
poem ever published by an American
author, and one of the most famous
poems in the language, inst publish
ed, is a pretty surprise for boOk-lov-
ers 1t is in large type, numerous
and excellent illustrations, very fine
and heavy paper, gilt edges, remark
ably handsome cloth binding, with
gilt title and ornaments. No illus
trated edition has ever before been
published at less cost than $1.5O,
and that is about what you might
guess the price of this to be, but it
isn't-it sells for only 10 cents! plus
6 cents for postage, if by mail. This
covers only about the actual cost of
manufacture by the 100000, the
publishers object being, not profit,
but to show the book loving millions
what he can do. His publications
are not sold by dealers, but only
direct; catalogue, over 100 pages, a
literary curiosity in it's way, is sent
for a cent stamp. Every home in
the land ought to have a copy of
this Evapgeline, SO charmingly beau
tiful, as poem, as collection of ar
tistic Illustrations, and as a product
of the book-making art. Address,

THE.FoRCE BILL ISSUE.

The monthly magazines are gen
orally edited with great candor and
ability, and the Review of Reviews is
no exception to this rule 1t there
fore gives us pleasure to quote the
opinion of that magazine as to
whether the Force bin is properly in
issue. This is. especially in point
now because there are some Republi
can papers which deny that. the Re
publican platform contains an en-
dorsement of the Lodge Federal Elec
ton bill inasmuch as their platform,
Gin cowardly way) seeks to evade
definite expression The Review of
Reviews frankly says that the Re-
publican party has not done itself
credit in it's attempt to evade the
issue. 1t says:
FInstead, however, OF declaring the
one thing or the other, it has used
mere phrases to cover up its real in
tentions, andit deserves nothing but
censure for it's evasion. Both races
in the South had a right to expect a
clear expression, and both parties in
the North had like right. From
the point of view of mere vote-catch
ing, nothing could be more stupid
than the position in which the party
is placed. There is only one fair in
ference, and that is that the Republi
can leaders were inclined toward fed
eral supervision, but were afraid to
say so frankly The policy is not
| one that the country is prepared to
endorse. 1t prefers that the whole
question ofraces in the South should,
tor a period of years at least, be left
| by common consent to the South it
self, to be worked out through ex-
perience and through the soothing
and healing process of time. The
day is coming when the colored men
themselves will ask deliverance from
| threats of an outside interference
| that can only do them harm. 1t is a
''home rule" question, pure and sim
| pie. The best thing for Ulster, as for
every other section and element in
Ireland, will be a home government
| for Ireland. In like manner, the best
| thing for the colored race, as well as
| for every other element in the South,
| will bea once-for all abandonment OF
the idea that any good thing is ever
| to come from Northern interference
by way of Washington. This may
be a hard saying to some conscien
tious white men in the North, and to
some unfortunate colored men in the
South; but it is clear honest, truth
And in the end there is health and
saving grace in the unadulterated
truth, however bitter it may taste AT
first -

THE WEEKLY MARKET.
The Stock Market Exhibits an Unu-
sual Degree eff Resisting Power.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The stock
market exhibits an unusual degree of
resisting power. Silver again touched
the lowest price on record; serious
strikes are in progress on the trunk
lines at Buffalo and elSewhere: gold
exports continue in spite of all pre-
dictions to the contrary, and Europe
refuses to stop spending back her
American securities. This is a list of
calamitieS which, in ordinary times,
would precipitate a sharp decline in
the whole market; While, as a matter
of fact, prices have refused to yield to
such influences with remarkable stub
bernness. Values, it is true, are lower
than a few months ago, but-.the de-
cline has been gradual and, njudged
by ordinary experience, not at all in
proportion to circumstances. The
question is often asked, "Why does
not the market yield ?' A good many
operators have been convinced that it
should decline, and consequently sold
stocks. Instead of weakening the
market the bears have possibly
strengthened it by creating a new and
for the time being probably the only
important buying interest.
But the real reason for this resist
ance to lower prices is deeper seated
than that based on any short interest.
1t is based on the confidence of the
big holders of stocks in the future re-
sources of the country and its rail
roads. Here and there are complaints
of over production, excessive compete
tiOn, low prices, etc: but beyond that
is the steady increase in the volume of
trade and the encouraging decrease in
business failures compared with last

THIRD PARTY CANVASS.

1t appears that the Third party in
North Carolina cannot enter upon
their State campaign with much en-
thusiasm. In the first place Col.
Harry Skinner put damper on their
hurrahs because he said something
serious, and then there is the feeling
that slick Republican politicians had
their hands on the machinery a little
too often. Now comes the news that
DR.. Exum, the head and front of the
ticket is under Indictment at Colds
boro for carrying concealed weap-
on and threatening the life of Arnold
Borden of that city. 1t will be evi
dent thata quick-tempered man who
has already infringed upon the law
is a person who is without claim
upon the suffrage of single intelli-
gent man. His election, if that is
possible, might result in his being
able to pardon himself in case of con-

lican wants to know, we viii furnish
an authority for our statements, and
add something more that is relevant
to this matter.
The Republican had previously said
that this community knew Sheriff
Tea que to be a Courageous man.
1t may be that the Republican 5 idea
of that word is different from it's
generally accepted definition. Ii so,
it would be easy to prove that both
Editor Goslen and Sheriff league
are courageous There certainly is a
species of daring on that editors
part in coming to the defence of a
case so w1etchedIy bad as that of
Sheriff leagues, but we hardy think
that this community will agree wit
the editor of the Republican that
Sheriff league is courageous"
The Republican further says: 1--WE
would say to the editor of THE SEN
TINEL that his residence here of just
few weeks is not sufficient to con-
vince our people that they know
nothing" THE SENTINEL's editor
admits that he has been resident
here only a few weeks; he pleads
guilty to this heinous offence. He
has not, however, tried to convince
our people that they know nothing y
but he hopes that by this article he
has established the fact that the ed
itor Of the Republican knew less than
| he thought he did when he wrote his
labored, weak and silly defense OF
the valorous Sheriff of Forsyth. II

AN EXPLANATION NEEDED.

04N GOL 4oANAA4N4N
1t reflects no credit on the chair
man of the Democratic State Central
committee that Gen. A. E. Stevenson
is not booked to speak at Winston
Salem. The matter was left to the
Executive committee and the mem
Der of that committe from this coun-
ty appears not to have been consult
ed. Mr. Simmons, the chairman,
owes us an explanation. Why is it
that Gen. Stevenson has been invit-
ed to speak in the cotton belt and
not in the tobacco belt? In popula-
tion Winston-Salem is inferior to no
city in this State, Wilmington only
excepted, and we can guarantee as
large an audience here as any in the
State. The Whole of North Carolina
desires to honor the Democratic can
didate for Vice-President, and the
Northwestern Piedmont section de-
mands recognition. We understand
that Gen. Stevenson is billed to speak
twice in one Congressional DISTRICT
a district, too, that has a large and
safe Democratic majority. What is
the special favor, Mr.. Simmons, that
entities so much consideration to be
given to one section while any con-
sideration seems to be denied to an
other.

MoRRIsTowN, Aug. pa singular
instance of long-continued silence on
the part of q person able in every way

day of Mrs. Matilda Erney, at Hat
field. She had not uttered word for
over eleven years. Twelve-years ago
she became mentally unbalanced, and
was taken to the Morristown State
Insane Asylum for treatment.
Shortly afterward, without appar-
ent excuse or reason, she suddenly
ceased talking. Repeated attempts
were made to surprise her into speech
or conversation by announcing inter
esting news and wonderful intelli-
gence, but no inducement was found
sufficient to lead her to open her lips
to speak a syllable, and during all
these years she maintained an unbrok-
