like a happy child that knows
no fear. And yet somewhere
in the green circuit of the sum-

of turf that shall one day be
folded aside to make room for
our last low bed. Sooner or
later shall dawn a perfect
morning, the searching sunlight
of which shall find us not.
Sooner or later the golden bee
shall poise and hover and settle
within a clover-top that gath

life from the clods that lie upon
our breast. Sooner or later a
pale star shall twinkle from
out the silver shadows of a
twilight sky, and drop a ray
like the fallen petals of a lily
upon our grave. Sooner or
later the moon shall whiten the
snow to still purer luster that
drifts upon the mound beneath

About the iS02 Crop.

Western (Cin.) Tobacco Journal Oct 3.
The 1892 crop is now practi-
cally housed, and the per cent.
that is liable to frost is very
small, and confined to a few dis
tricts in the Western leaf belt,
but the amount that is liable to
be caught would have little in
fluence on values should it be
badly nipped, but at present
there are no indications OF an
early frost, and this week will
see the crop cleaned up entirely.
There is no truer saying that
tobacco has great 'come out"
in it, and this was evidenced by
the 1892 crop in the Burley belt.
At the end Of August its condi-
ton was very undesirable and
its prospects so uncertain that
many thought it desirable to
shape their action with a
very small and undesirable crop,
but 10 and behold September

Of course We are now speak

localities and fields that even
the fine weather of September
seem TO have no revivify ing eff

from a number of counties in
the Burley belt, but there is NO
Disgusting the fact that the crop
has turned far and way ahead
of what was thought possible
early in September, yet few
seem to venture the hope that
the crop will prove an average
one in quantity. We hear of
some of the finest crops ever
grown, and yet from the same
neighborhOOd of crops that are
hardly worth the cutting. Lit.
tie now remains to be cut. and
some have already had early
cures.
In the dark belt one of the
best and cleanest crops ever
grown has been gathered. OF

week. 1t contains a very small

said in general terms of the

HENRIETTA IRBY, widow of the

ordered to do it by his Majesty,

Foster, now at the head of the

UNDOUBTEDLY many leading
Republicans would like to get
away from the force bill or at
least sidetrack it during the can
vass.
It is essential that parties
should be held to the promises
and pledges of their platform.
No party should be allowed to
play fast and loose with the
principles announced in the doc.
ument upon which it asks the
confidence of the people. II
Mr.. Harrison should be elected

be the result! The people would

bill had been abandoned. But

reminded of them they would
point to the solemn and deliber.

triumphant and conclusive.
No party has a right to gain
votes in this way, and the peo-
pie will be very foolish If they

that the democrats were mis-
taken in their guess at atwhat the

They are not, he said, trying to

to combine with the indepen-

Active Work.

The campaign that will be
most successful is a precinct,
house to house canvass. Ii
every active Democrat at every
precinct in the State will con-
stitute himself a committee of
one to talk to at least ONE luke
warm neighbor and see that
he comes to the polls on election
day and deposits his ballot, the
sun will set on the8th of Novem-
Der on the largest majority ever
polled for a Democratic candi-
date in North Carolina.
Many Of these stay-at-home
voters cannot be reached by
newspapers, campaign litera-
ture, or speakers. They can
only be brought to the polls by
an active neighbor, who will
keep them stirred up from now
to election, and on that day see
that they vote.
The result in the case Of each
Democrat who lends his help in
this most important matter
may seem insignificant, but if.
even five lukewarm Democrats
at each precinct in the State,
who would not, under ordinary
circumstances, take the trouble
to go TO the polls, are thus
persuaded to do their duty, the
aggregate will form an over
whelming majority for the
Democracy. The trouble to
each missionary will not be
great. Will you not try the ex-
pertinent?

THE determination of Mr..

not to put an independent
municipal ticket in the field in

plify matters for the Democrat

called, decided to oppose. the

the triangular fight would
have resulted in trading"

anxious for an opportunity to

tropolis of the country, but the
better judgment of the Demo-

arow their intention to vote
the third party ticket or not to
vote at all. This, whether
they intend it or not, is the
course most likely to defeat the
very end they have in view. A
former Republican will vote
with reluctance against the
presidential nominee but he
must do so in order to escape
from supporting the candidate
for weep president, who is his
enemy. But a vote for Weaver
or the prohibition ticket, may
cause the election to be thrown
into the House and Senate,
which would certainly result in
defeating Harrison and .electing
Reid-an outcome the Republi-
can working man would most
deprecate. If the working men
desire to defeat Reid, the
only certain and sure way is to
vote and work for Cleveland
and Stevenson-any other
course if it has any effect at all
will bring about a result which
the workIngmen, especially the
Republican working men,
would least desire. -
BY voting foT Weaver and
Field they are voting indirect
ly for Harrison and Reid, and
the result of their action may
either be the election of the
Republican candidates-the
enemies of their section, by the
people, or the succ' IS of White
law Reid-the enemy of their
organizations, by a vote of the
Republican Senate. Either of
these alternatives is not q
pleasant one for Southern work
ing men to contemplate. Both
OF them they can render impos-
sible by voting and working
for Cleveland and Stevenson.
We are sure a little thought
will impress this idea upon
sensible men.

"EvERY governmental con-

invites corruption in political

The above sentence from Mr..
Cleveland's letter of acceptance
contains wholesome food for
reflection. High tariff, apart
from a long list of other evils it
infiicts upon the people of this
country, wields a powerful in
fiuence in corrupting the ballot.
Republicans cannot, with any
propriety whatever, talk about
a free ballot and a fair count as
long as they advocate high
tariff. The monopolists, pro.
tected by the tariff, spend mil
