fact that III at least one Southern
Stale the war and its animOsltleS are
beng forgotten"
This means great deal-more than
one, without closely studying the mat
ter. can realize what it means. We
would thrust no disturbing hand into
the piled-up ruin of issues reCantcd
and consigned to oblivion; we would
fan no cmbcr perchance found smoul-
derlng amid the cold ashes that tell OF
precious blood and countless treasure
lost, nor would We with the breath of
passion galvanize the dead into the
counterfeit of life.
But, while we unfeigredly rejoice in
the truth of the statement that the
'.war and its animosities are being for
gotten" we want the forgetfulness of
this and succeeding generations to be
that generous ignoring of the past born
of the magnanimily worthy of their
deeds-not the forgetfulness of indif-
terence, not putting away OF past
which they have ceased to honor. Too
many of the textbooks in use in our
common and high schools have been
talsitying history for the past quarter
of a century, and it is time the educa-
tors of the youth, who have been tao
ltly instilling into tender minds the
hereSy that the men of the South thirty
years ago were traitors, be brought to
a realization of their grave error.
Those who were brave enough and
stroug enough to win the victories of
the WARRIOR never did an inferior force
fash upon the eyes of the world such
succession OF victories as marked the
progress Of Confederate arms) were
noble enough and patient enough to
achieve the victories of peace; and to
the work of the rehabilitation of a de-
vastated Country-with dignity and
stcadtastness OF purpose which com
mlnded the admiration of magnanl-
nous foes, and shamed the efforts Of
maIcvolcnt political persecutors-they
bent their energies. Perhaps mankind
had never before been called upon to
study Just such a political revolution
as the :. Reconstruction" of the South
from 1865 to 1870. The paradox OF
civil law in form and military force in
effect, the banning of intelligence and
the enfranChisement OF ignorance, the
iconocalism which Indignantly aimed
at the survival of the best from the
wreck Of the past, the tno1lHs of adven-
turers without character, whose nostrlls
snuffcd the prey from afar, and whose
baggage was bag for the spolls-all
combined to form picture of contu-
sion, misrule, folly and corruption
which can find its parallel only in the
decadcnCe of the Roman Empire.
Where is it all now-this saturnalla of
besotled legislation, this carnival OF
public plunder and official theft ?
Even as the swollen stream returning
to its wonted volume, leaves high and
dry the drftwood cast aside by Its
angry waves, so the ebullition OF pop
ular passion, subsiding, tosses off the
scum that rides upon its crest.

ANOTHER INVENTION.

An Asheville man has perfected an
invention that will surely make him
many times a millionare and bring
down both curses and blessings on his
head as long as time continues its
weary fight. After years Of study
and experiment, this invention has
succeeded in condencelng whiskey
into hard packages like plug tobacco !;
and the stuff can be sliced and cut
into any size pieces, and carried about
in the pocket like plug of tobacco.
The article has the color of flrstclass
tobacco, and when taken into the
mouth dissolves almost instantly and
a very small bite has the effect OF a
full glass of the best copper distilled.

A YEAR AGO.
Wilmington MESSENGER

How swiftly roll the wheels of time
How rapidly the people living are
rushing on to their final doom :!
1t seems that only few weeks ago we
sat down in sorrow and sadness to in
dite an editorial upon the death Of Mr..
Julius A. Bonitz, the proprietor and
founder of the Daily and Weekly Mes
senger. On last Saturday morning,
(the 9TH of February year ago, at a
few minutes past 9 o'clock a. M, the
spirit of our friend and associate left
the pershing house in which it had
dwelt for something over forty nine
years, and returned to the Father Of
all spirits. When the news reached us
a minute or two after he had breathed
his last, we hurried to his room at the
Orton, and there saw him dead with
his attending physician in the room.
1t was indeed the last of earth, and the
change was startling.
We all remember the very large
funeral-one of the largest ever seen
in Wilmington. We all know the hun
dreds Of regrets expressed by all sorts
and conditions of men at the death of
SO genial, SO obliging SO enterprising
so energetic citizen! who had
done such an important work for
Wilmington. Although his body rests
in the quiet Oakdale his works Of zeal
and fidelity and usefulness to Will
mington remain, and the good done
will never be effaced by time. We
recall as if but yesterday the crowded
Lutheran church, the long funeral cor
tege, the great crowd of sympathetic
mourners outside, the solemn service
conducted by his pastor and friend, a
native of the same city in Germany
Rev. DR.. Peschau, assisted by pastors
of other denominations, the tears ot
many and the sad countenances OF all,
and then the closing services at the
grave, the warm and impressive eulogy
of the pastor, the ceremony of the
Knights OF Pythias, of which order the
dead had been SO distinguished and
prominent a member-all this is vivio
to our eyes as if but last Monday, the
9th, the day of the date of his inter
ment, and yet it is one year and one
day since it all was witnessed.
We have said that the good work o.
our departed friend remains, although
his kind heart is forever still. Hi
memory is affectionately che ri5hed by
thousands in North Carolina whom he
had served. The citizens of this com
mercial metropolis of the State have not
forgotten his earnest, energetic, un
faltering devotion to its interests, anf
how true and tireless was the Messen
ger in behalf of all that concerned thi:
section, the noble old State and tht
South.
The Messenger is his monument, i
lives and essays to work on his lines
in SO far as labor and zeal for Viii
mington and North Carolina are in
involved. 1t seeks to continue Will
unabated zeal and devotion the noble
work set in motion and successfull
pushed until he went down before tn

be scared out of the field and :hey be left
to enjoy it. The South is all right.
Very naturally the persistent cry
of " hard times has temporarily pro
duced hard times and with every
body going around with a long iace
and telling of dull trade and short
collections, trade has been dull and
collections have been short. But i, is
far more loss of confidence than any
thing else which has caused the
temporary stringency. The South
and its business interests are solid, and
in a few months there will I've such a
general revival. that people will look
back and wonder what frightened them
so badly. Mr.. Ihurber's statements
are worthy ofthoughtful consideration.

About Whipping a Horse.

1t is rarely ever proper to strike a met
tlesome horse. Occasionally a fault is
clearly foolish, and no fear associated
with it in the creatures mind. such as
nipping his mate, or reaching round tho
head to see if you are about ready, or
backing when you have no room, and
must be obeyed with bound; then
gentle reminder with the whip is well
enough On rare occasions authority
ma We maintained by enforcing fear.
Yet if you terrorize the creature he viii
hate you. 1t seems hard for horse or
q dog to forget an injury. They never
forgive in the sense that men do. This
fact is often lost sight Of by thoughtless
people in their intercourse with dumb
animals. York Weekly.

A Brave Little Beauty.

Mayor Cushing's little 5-year-old
daughter Blanche fell from a hammock
and broke her shoulder. After the fall
she ran into the house, her lips clenched
tightly, and calmly told her mother that
she had hurt herself. Although not q
tear was visible, yet the deathly pallor
which had spread over her face told the
mother that her little one was hurt.
Now, mamma, don't you cry. l will
stand the pain. 1t won't last so very
long" said the little one.
Hastily examining his child, Mr.. Cush-
ing found that the shoulder blade was
broken Surgeons were Immediately
brought, and the fracture, which proved
to be serious one, was quickly set
At no time during the fearfully pain
full operation did the little one utter SO
much as a moan. She simply clenched
her dainty little fists, bit her lips, and
without tear bore it all in manner
which the attending physician afterward
remarked they had never seen equaled.

THEY WERE NEWLY MARRIED.

Consequently They Were So Eusily E1-
gazod They Passed Their Station.
There was an amusing and instructive
scene the other day in an uptown train
on the Sixth avenue elevated. At Park
place q handsome young couple, evident
II very much in love, got on one OF the
middle c;Gr, and settling down in a cross
seat they proceeded without delay to be-
como absorbed in one another, not pay
ing the slightest heed t., any one else in
the car. All the passengers watched
them with good Latured interest, even
the small boy i'll the corner, who had
been deeply absorbed in the delights of a
tuppenny dreadful.
Station after station flew by, all un-
heeIcd as far as the 1ovemailers were
concerned, and The stalwart Adonis' arm
had just settled comfortably about the
waist Of his demure companion when
she suddenly gave little feminine
shrek and made I, frantic break for the
door. Everybody was startled, no one
more than the young man, who in
stinctively attempted to hold her back.
But she only jerked herself away, and
the onlookers could see that the express
sion of undying love on her features had
given way to look of the most pro-
nounced vexation us she turned on her
companion with the remark:

over the expression of the bride-for

i LAKE BENTON, Minn., July 1.-The
Peoples party held its county conven-
ton yesterday and elected Alfred
SOderlind and Frank Mennie delegates
to the state convention. The conven-
tion was unique and remarkable in that
the proceedings were made up of an
Alliance county convention, meeting
of the county Alliance and Peoples
party county convention. The first
thing OH the programme was an Alli-
ance county convention for the purpose

whelmingly decided in the affirmative.
the efforts of Albert Warren, secretary
of the state Alliance central committee,
to prevent 1t, being of no avail. This was
followed by meeting of the county
Alliance in business session, and the
matter of starting all Alliance store at
this place was agitated. Finally tho
Peoples party convention convened
and elected its delegates. This abso-
lutely kills and buries the Alliance in
this county as an organization, and
merges it into the Peoples party. Sen
ator Mott and others, who were opposed
bitterly to DOnneIly and his rule few
months ago, were present and helped to
bury the Alliance, and after it was
dead and buried to walk proudly and
detiantly over the grave in which it was
buried.

To the Editor of the Globe.
In common with most people at this
season OF the year, usually feel
tagged out and listless, and seem to lose
all strength and ambition. have al
ways supposed it was due to the wealth

there should be some way ty which
these things can be prevented or
avoided.
l have heard of great many ways.
which have been tried by different peo-
pie; but am naturally skeptical, and
write to ask you if you will not, in your
editorial columns, state whatyou believe
to be the best way of keeping up the
strength and life during the summer
season. BY doing so you will greatly
obIige me, and, Il doubt not, many others.
Sincerely, A. FL. r.
A. II. r. asks a pretty difficult ques-
ton, and one which an editor might re-
spectfully decline to answer, presuming
it to be outside of his sphere, but editors
have unusual opportunities for observ-
ing; in fact, that is their prime desire.
While there are many things which a
subscriber might try for the purpose of
keeping up the tone of the system and
strength during the summer, there is
probably nothing which will prove so
beneficial as the great discovery of Prof.
Phelps, of Dartmouth College, known
as Paine's celery compound. 1t is a
food for the nerves. the brain,a hence
the life. 1t has proven itself unequaled,
and its success with the public and the
medical profession amply proves what
it is doing for others. The GLOBE there
fore advises A. III. r. and all who have
similar troubles to try 1t.
