Want q Free Ballot and a Fair
CNRnt.

While there are many men here and
elsewhere in the country who do not
endorse the financial principles Of the
Peoples Party, there is no honest man
in the country who is not heartily in
sympathy with that plank in their plat
form which declares for honesty and
purity at elections. The candidate for
vice president. on that party's ticket.
General Fields, like all the members o.
his party, and like all other honest men.
regardless Of party, believes that tie So
called force bill is hugaboo used by
knaves and scoundrels for the purpose
of creating the impression that the pas
sage Of an election bill. by the general
government, will be tee means of estab-
fishing negro domination, and, conse-
quently, the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the ballot box according to
the con ,situtiou and laws Of the country,
is deliberately perverted by the afore-
said knaves and scoundrels. General
Fields in his recent letter OF acceptance,
after explaining the reforms his party
would make, says:
"A still greater peril-we hold that
the right Of free ballot and fail
count are rights preservative Of al
rights, and upon their inviolability resi-
che perpetuity of free institutions and
representative government.
1--WE are panied to discover in thu
public mind in the Southern State
through which we have passed, wide
spread loss Of confidence on the part o
the people in the integrity of the judge
of elections in receiving the ballots o
the people, and counting them for tn
candidates Of their choice.
We think that this evil must be cor
rected by the intelligence and integrit.
of the people of the country, otherwis
scenes of violence and. perhaps, blood
shed may follow these effort, of partic
in charge Of the ballot boxes to defrsu
the will of the voter. They will lead t
a serious collision, and that quickly.
"The white people are leaving tn
cid parties and casting hair lot with us
and our numbers are constantly increas
ing. Wo are informed by large rum
Der Of intelligent and reputable peopl
that in the recent State election in Ala
bsma Captain Kolb was chosen governo
by $4,000 majority, and yet his oppo
nents was counted in by majority o
over 10000. County tickets through
out the State we're counted out, and 9th
ers counted in by the same unblushinl
methods.
1--WE are further informed that in th
State election which occurred in Arkan
sas the 9Th instant, a. least 1000 o
the qualified voters OF the said Stat
we're deprived of the right Of sufrag
and that the returns were utterly inaccu

To Teachers and Parents

There are certain things which it is to
be wished that all public school teachers
may remember through the school year
that has begun once more.
The true aim Of public instruction is
to ssaks good citizens. That includes
intelligence and character. 1t also in
cludes s5oad bodily health and habits
that will help, not hinder, in The future
duties Of life. whatever they may be-
The common school or any other educa-
ton is failure that does not set up a
barrier against the hospital and the
almshouse, the dramshop and the Jail.
The true aim of public instruction is
not to enable pupils to pass examinations,
or to get promoted" or to earn high
percentages. 1t is not to learn to keep
step when marching through the aisles,
or to sit up perfectly straight and avoid
whispering. Crammiug is not teaching
The chief end of childhood is no! to re-
cite lessons learned from books. "Dis-
cipline" IS not the one thing needful,
nor is "order" the summum bonum. -
The boy or girl who misses questions
lbout rivers that flow into the Caspian
Sea, or cannot easily find the greatest
common divisor oftwo or more numbers,
IL not always Ounce. Some Of the
worlds greatest genuiscs were called
blockheads at school. Do not try toe
hard to squeeze and pad and trim your
pupils SO as TO get them all to be as Ike
one another IS peas in a pod. Heed the
story Of that Procrustean bed on which,
when one lay down who was too short
for it, be was stretched till bis limb;
we're unjointed, and when another was
: too tall, his feet and ankles were cut off
There are also ,ertain considerations
: which parents Of public school pupils are
too proue 10 forget. For instance, more
depends on the home than on the school
It is hard for the best teacher and mos
faithful to make scholarly little gentle
man or lady out of child that breathe:
! no intelligent family atmosphere, snd
sees and hears no indications Of good
breeding. A teachers success or failure
; with child may depend on the pare ITS
help or hindrance. Obedience, order
neatness, affection. good residing, cor.
rect language at home will diminish tAt
teachers difficulties and double the ben
efts derived by the child at school.

Tt is conceded that the danger of a
cholera epidemic in this country is due
largely to the filthy immigrants who are
crowding our shores. What reasonable
objection can there be to prohibiting
i'll migration rs tie surest aud sufest way
of preventing the threatened inrss5en?-
This country belongs to the mes who
conquered it, their defendants and those
they have permitted to find homes With
in our bOrders-these are the Nghtful
owners of the soil-they have the right
and would not hesitate to rcpel an arm
ed invasion-why should they hesitate
to forbid the landing Of men bearing and
breeding a pestilence more disastrous to
life and happiness than an array With
banners. Lsdisclminate immigration
should be checked by the enactment
and enforcement Of rigid immigration
laws.

On the Death Of Mrs. Monte

Cor. TO the State Chronicle.
Died on September 6, 1892, in Win
ston, N. c., at the residence of her sis
ter, Mrs. G. H. Wiley, Mrs. Margaret
Delaney Monte, wife of J. nj. Monte, of
this city. Mrs. Monte had been in i'll
health for months past, and trip to
Winston was decided on in the hope that
the change might be of benefit. Though,
away from home, she had the comfort Of
having her loved ones around her who
with tender care and untiring zeal min
istered to every want. All that
medical skill could accomplish was done
and the kind christian people of Winston
exemplifying the spirit of their Lord and
Master extended every sympathy and aid
But our Heavenly Father, who has a
plan in the lives of each of his children
in his wisdom and love saw fit to
call his child home. At the age
Of eleven years she gave her young
heart to her Saviour, and since then has
been a consistent and active member of
the Presbyterian church. In all the re-
lations of life, as daughter, sister, wife,
mother and friend, it can be truly said OF
her that she was faithful. Her bright
sunny disposition made her a power for
good. Truly her triumphant death as
witnessed by those around her bed was
but the fit ending of life ''hid with
Christ in God" With hands extended
and eyes uplifted as if in the very pres
ence of Christ, and with the words s'Pre
cious Saviour" trembling on her lips, she
| entered into her heavenly rest.
oChere remaiueth a rest IN that shinin,
| shore,
The heart-aches of earth are remembered n,

With loved ones and lost ones We rest ther

this morning an electric motor with
traitor attached was descending the
steep incline on Russell Avenue when
the breaks on the motor failed TO work
on account of the wet and slippery

at terrific rate of speed. The

rails and overturned in the gutter The
cars were filled with passengers and the
scene was wildly exciting. Beneath the
overturned trailer was crushed and
bleeding mass Of humanity, while on
each side of the car were lying persons
who had either jumped or been thrown
from the car as it tipped over.
Dozens of persons rushed to the rescue of
the passengers, and lifting the car found
that the wreck was sad one Two per-

fates seemed to be against Governor
Mckinley to day. This, one day of all
the year, set for the big Elwood cele-
bration where he was to act as high
priest at the birth Of the infant tin plate
industry, proved the most disa-
greeable of the season. A drizzle that
set in at midnight developed into a
driving rain storm by day light and it
poured necessarily until after o'clock.
At / 80 o'clock two thousand people stood
in the rain in front Of the opera house and
listened to three actresses by governors
Mckinley and Chase who were themselves
without shelter. Later as many people as
could be packed into the little opera house
listened to a more lengthy address by
governor Mckinley, devoted entirely to
the tariff issue. Aside from the tin plate
plant Elwood has one Of the largest
glass works in the country and Mckinley
predicted prosperity for the tin mill and
prophesied that it would help to make
American tin cheaper than impor' ed tir
ever was. After the speech he was

BY Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
New YORK, Sept. 13.-Acting under
orders from Gov. Flower the first batal-
lion of naval reserves, heavily armed
with pistols, cutlasses, howitzers and
Gatling guns and reinforced by AGO OF
the Goth regiment left for Fire Island at
12:45 this afternoon on the steamer
Pegasus, to enforce the landing of the
Normanias passengers from the Cepheus.
A dispatch from the Island reported
that the situation was unchanged; the
Cepheus being anchored in the channel
and the passengers suffering discomfort
from the chilly winds. Food was supplied
to the imprisoned unfortunates from the
Surf hotel but they were unable to step
upon terra frma on account of the
lynx eyed natives who patrolled the is
land. The passengers were given good
breakfast and dinner and the sheriff put
forth his best efforts to preserve order.
At 3 p. m, a message was received at
quarantine by DR.. Jenkins from DR..
Voight at Fire Island stating that the
passengers on board the Cepheus were
being landed. Late this afternoon law
yer Roger w. Sherman served writ of
habeas corpus on DR.. Jenkins at quaran
tine requiring him to produce the Nor
mammals passengers before Judge Bar
nord in Brooklyn at o'clock Wednes-
day morning. The writ was obtained in
behalf of the passengers and the list is
headed by A. M. Palmer. 1t requires
DR.. Jenkins to show cause why the pas
sengers should not be released. An in
spection of the lower bay revealed that
all was all right at a late hour this af-
ternoon; no deaths or new cases occur
