ATTENTION is called to the importance
of prompt distribution Of the mails be-
tween this place and Tarboro. Every
citizen of Raleigh, as well as those resid
ing along the route indicated, are inter
ested Mails for Wilson, Rocky Mount
and Tarboro from Raleigh should be deliv-
cred the same day. This is not being done.
Let the postoffice department consider
this matter at once. Our people will not
submit any longer to such Inconvenience
or careless handling of the mails. The
fault is not here.

WHEN you hear the third party Wea-
verites talking about the price of cotton
being regulated by Wall street or any
money center in this country, read to
them the following provision from the
platform, adopted at the second annual
meeting of the National Alliance, at
Shreveport, Louisiana, in October, 1887
It reads:
'14th. That in view of the fact that
the delegates to this body represent a
| majority Of the cotton producers of the
cotton belt of America, which belt pro-
duces over two thirds of the cotton of
the whole world, and in view of the
further fact that two thirds of the cot
ton in the cotton belt is demanded and
used for export to foreign power,
which fixes the price on every pound of
our cotton; and in view of the fact that
said power is debarred from returning to
this country a single yard of manufac-
interested in crowding down to the low
est figure the price of cotton, we hereby
demand that the United States Govern
ment adopt speedy system of reduction
of the import duty on manufactured cot
tons in such a way as to do justice to
this, the greatest of all classes of pro-
ducers.
We demand such a revision of the
tariff as will lay the heaviest burdens on
the luxuries and the lightest on the
necessaries of life, and as will reduce the
incomes from imports to strictly reve-
nue. basis"
The Mckinley bill enables the cotton

the price low. The above declaration

AT the close of the war the Southern
people owed, in the aggregate, about
$3.50, O00, 600. The republicans were in
power in these States from 1865 to 1870.
During this brief period of Eve years
the debts Of the Southern States were
increased to-$344, $40, ,O4e. Such is the
profigate and Shameful financial record
of the administration of Southern affairs
by the republican party. In 1870 fhe

the speeches of Capt. Octavius Coke and
Mr.. E. G. Beddingfeld in that city on

We are informed that some of the
third party candidates are saying that the
democrats voted for the force bill in the
Reed Congress. The assertion is with
out foundation, as every body ought to
know. This is on par with the state
ment of DR.. w. F. Freeman, of Wilson,
that, if the force bill had become the
law, the supervisors of elections for Will
son county would be appointed by
Judge Connor. An examination of the
record of Congress, and a casual reading
of the force bill, will prove both state
against the force BILL, and the super
visors would be appointed by United
States Court Judges.

FROM Halifax county we learn that
many third party men are expressing
great indignation at the attempt, now sp-
parent, to convert them into an 'said so
ciety' for the republican party, and are
leaving the third party to take their
stand in the democratic ranks with such
alliancemen as Elias Carr and S. B.
Alexander. They are resuning their
positions in the democratic file, and,
with their old political comrades, will
advance upon the common enemy. The
people may be misled, but they cannot
be misled long. They have eyes to sec
and ears to hear, and even the blind and
deaf can see and hear the political du-
plicity of third party leaders. The air
is noisy and full of it.

The recent census shows that the ne
gro holds the balance of political power
in half the republican States of the North,
and that his political power is growing
every year in the New Eng gMnd States
He has been educated to believe that his
brother in the South has been mistreated,
and for some time his complaints have
been made in vain at the republican
headquarters. This increase of power in
States which have long been republican
strongholds, has recently invested these
complaints with an Importance and sig
nifcance, and they cannot longer be dis
regarded, for to disregard them would
imperil republican success where
success has heretofore been assured.
What then was to be done9 The North
ern negro was to be appeased, and, at
the same time, the white man was to be
driven from power in the Southern
States, and the Southern negro installed
in his place, which would not only ap-
pease the negro at the North, but make
the South republican, and thus secure the
certainty of republican ascendency. This
degradation of Southern whites was to
be accomplished by means of a force bill.
Our Southern homes were to be despoiled
to satisfy the repacity of the tax gatherer.
The value of our property was to be as
sessed by negro assessors to meet appropri-
alton bills voted for by negro Legislators.
White government in the South was to
have been a thing of the past, and our
bright visions of future glory and pros
perity would have been darkened for
ever. The conspiracy was ''on foot. u
Harrison, Davenport and Lodge were the
chief conspirators, who plotted to ruin
our people, ruin which was averted by
the vigilance and patriotic efforts OF
democrats. The conspiracy has not been
abandoned. The plotters are still al
work, plotting the overthrow of democ.
racy. Such purpose has been openly
declared, and white men, especially in
the South, must vote together to defeat
it and preserve constitutional govern
ment.

WHEN Weaver was member of Con-
gress he voted against removing armed
soldiers from polling places in the South
ern States. He was in favor of guarding
the polling places in these States with
soldiers in order to perpetuate negro
supremacy. He was opposed to white
men governing in the South. He favor
ed negro legislators to n1ake laws for our
people. Such is the record of the man
nominated by the Omaha convention for
Southern white voters to vote for Such
is the record of the man endorsed by the
late third party State convention held in
this city. But there were negroes in
that convention, and white men who ap-
plauded negro speakers when they
abused the democratic party.

SOME time ago Col. Mcclure, of the
Philadelphia Times, challenged Gov.
Mckinley, of Ohio, to joint discussion
in Philadelphia. The subject proposed
was the tariff. The matter was referred
to the Chairman of the Republican
National Executive Committee, who
answers that the demands for Gov.
Mckinley are so urgent that he cannot
be spared, but offers to substitute Col.
Grosvenor, of the New York Tribune
Col. Mcclure answers, through the
Chairman of the Democratic National
Executive Committee, that "Gov. McKin-
ley evidently understands why the dis
cussion was proposed, and the public
will not misunderstood his reasons for
declining." The champion of protection
appears to be showing the white feather.
No backing down, Governor. It is your
= bill, and you should meet the issue.
SPEAKING of the force bill, and with
reference to- the republican and demo-
cratic platforms on that subject, Con-
gressman Patterson, of Tennessee, con-
cluded his speech of July IS, in the
House, as follows:
ssHere is the issue joined by these two
great political and opposing forces. Here
is where the roads fork. The signboards
are put up and the traveller cannot lose
his way. One road leads to the guardian
ship of the citizen, the humiliation of the
States, the supervision of the constitution
and the aggrandizement of the Federal
government into a centralized and i'm
perial power. The other leads to the
liberty of the citizen, home rule and the
perpetuity of the Federal and State gov
ernments as they move in their respective
orbits, sustaining the one to the other
the relation ordained and established by
the fathers"

example, describes the Germans as

The Celts are mentioned as being swarthy
skinned and black eyed; the Gauls are
red haired and light eyed. while the M.
bians. the Turks, the Egyptians and the
Italians have always been spoken Of as
'the dark eyed races" These peculiar.
ties have not changed. Even today the

ally dark, or even black. OF the races
in particular. the only one that can be
said To he light eyed" is the Caucasian,
and even in this race the eyes are by no
means uniform in point of color
The whole period Of human history
goes TO prove that the light haired, blue
eyes races are capable of the highest de-
gree of civilization. but it does not by any
means follow that the highest degree of
civilization is confined TO people of blonde
complexion. There was time when a
blue eyed person was rarely seen, and
today seven-elghths of the worlds in
habitants have dark eyes Lavater,
when discussing the eye as feature in
national physiognomy, gave the follow
