n the Wilmington Messenger

From the Wilmington Messenger
By Porter's census in 1890, North
Carolina had a population of 1871
947. 1t was divided, males 799, 149,
females 818,79S. Whites 1855, 382;
negroes, 562, 500. So there were more
women than men, and the whites near
ly doubled the negroes. BY A. D..
1900, we doubt not, the whites will
more than double the negroes. There
were so many men killed from North
Carolina in the great war that the
males have not yet been able to catch
up. But there are great many more
males than females in the United
States as the census shows. The fig.
ures in 1890, were males 32,O67 $50;
females, 80, ,370-or some million
and half more men than women.
We suppose that in North Carolina
the population in 1890, was really
more than Porter reports, and by some
fifty thousand or more. In the Union
judging from the errors found in New
York City and hundred other places,
the population was probably at least
ID, 100000 instead of the 62,622,250
reported. By now the population is
perhaps not far from 65,5OO,0OO.

south Carolina All Right.

All the news from South Carolina
points to the conclusion that its cleo
torial votes are safe for Cleveland.
Nine tenths of the people, according
to Representative Hemphill, were for
Cleveland before the Chicago conven
ton was held, and they are all for
him now. South Carolina was solidi
fled by the force bill plank of the Re
publican platform. 1t was cafe any
how, but the force bill made assurance
doubly sure. The president of the
South Carolina Farmers Alliance has
committed his paper, the Cotton Plant
the official organ of the Alliance, to
the support of the Democratic ticket.
1t has been said that the Alliance is
going to pieces in South Carolina,
that its former membership of 10000
has fallen to 5000 Whether or not
this is true is irnmaterial, so far as the
political situation is concerned, since
what there is of the Alliance is for
Cleveland.

B0urke Cochran .

About twelve years ago Bourke
Cochran was in hard luck. His power
ty vas great. He was sleepy eyed,
huge faced, rather sluggish appearing
man when not under mental excite
ment, and he had been hanging on the
fringes of some of the local organiza-
tions. He seemed to be conscious of
his ability, and to be in some despair
at his lack ofopportunity to reveal it.
There was suspicion at times that he
was down at the heels. His clothes
were made to do long service. More
over, he was not averse to convivialitv
and when he was with politicians he
did as politicians did, and the atmos-
phere of the saloon, though plainly
not congenial, was not an infrequent
atmosphere for him to breathe He
went to Albany as spokesman of con-
testing delegation and won a great
triumph. He had entered that room
almost unknown. He came out of it
conscious that he had won the praises
and approval of men of power From
that time his advance was rapid. He
went into Tammany hall and soon be-
came its spokesman. Moreover, he
showed that he was a man of moral
fiber by abandoning all his wasteful
practices and concentrating his ener-
gies 80 as to reap advantage of the op-
Portunity which he himself had forced.
Cochran was never tempted to stray
away but once. At the Cincinnati
convention he joined party Just after
he had made very brilliant speech.
He was dripping with perspiration.
He was exhausted, for he had not been
feeling well and was moreover some
what nervous, and they asked him to
take glass of something with them.
he had his glass raised almost to his |
lips, and then he set it down without |
offensive mannerism and asked quietly |
for mug of milk. Cochran could |
have taken the stimulant without dan
ger. He was not one of those men
whom the smell or taste of liquor sends
into frenzy, but he had made up his
mind that man was better off with.
out it, and especially a man who had
his way to make in the world, and he
had therefore determined to become a
total abstainer, and for that reason he
put away glass which had been
thoughtlessly filled. Cochran married
into very wealthy family and being
himself q man of education and con-
siderable culture, his wealth, his pro-
ession and political standing and his
promise of brilliant career enabled
him to MAINTAIN himself in a social
circle of considerable pretension and
also to secure the championship o.
cultivated men. His style of living

FROM HAND 70 MOUTH.

"From hand to mouth" he gaily said;
Then kissed her hand which quickly led
From those white little finger tips
To one upon her rosy lips.
She blushed and turned extremely red,
She dropped her blonde and shapely head.
The first one was kiss we'll bred;
The second put it in eclipse
From hand to mouth.
They married ere that year had fed.
For then the future held no dread;
For youth expects we'll laden ships
To make wealth bringing homeward trips.
But dreams are gone; they live instead
From hand to mouth.

One thing was settled this year.
Party committees cannot choose

mittee is a failure. And yet there
was difference between the manage

At Minneapolis the popular idol vas
defeated. AT Chicago the favorite of
the people was named. At Minneapo-

at Chicago there was victory for
