DOWN INTO THE DUST.


1t is worth while that we jostlc a brother
Bearing his load on the rough road OF
lifeo
Is 1t worth while that we jeer at each other
In the blackneSs of heart, that we wal
to the knife?
God pity us all in our pitiful strife.
God pity us all as we iostie each other;
God pardon us all for the triumph we
feel
When a fellow goes down meath his load
Oh the heather
Pierced to the heart; words are keener
than steel,
And mightier far for woe or for veal.
Were it not we'll, in this brief little Jour-
ney
On over the isthmus, down into the tide,
We give him fish instead of serpent,
Ere folding the hands to be and abide
Forever and aye in the dust by his side.
Look at the roses saluting each other,
Loot at the herds all at peace on the
plain
Man and man only makes war on his
brother,
And laughs in his heart at his peril and
pain;
Shame by the beasts that go down on the
plain.
Is it worth while that we battle to humble
Some poor fellow-soldier down into the
God pity us all! Time cit soon will
tumble
All of us together like leaves in gust,
Humbled indeed down into the dust.

full we'll the work that tells in our
onward strides to greatness. We are
proud of our Association, proud Of ouI
entertainment, proud of whole souled
royal Charlotte; and from our ovation
for two days here and the indication:
about US here, we believe Charlotte is
proud of US.
And now, may we cast one glimpse
into the future? Looking back over
our greatness of century past and
contemplating our gigantic proper
tions as people tonight, what may
i we not anticipate for the Old North
State, with our increasing momentum,
in the sweep of years to come? Her
march is to be upward and onward,
higher and higher and still higher
Her achievements are to be still
greater and grander and more far
reaching until her wondrous resources
shall be fully developed; and the lus-
tire of her name shall continue to grow
brighter and brighter as the sands slip
noislessly through the hour glass of
time.
And now have done But pause
one moment more. What of the
women of the Old North State? Well,
briefly, this: No crown of triumph,
no dladem Of glory, no chaplet of
fame has ever pressed upon a single
brow that was not fashioned in some
way by the hand of a dauntless hero
inc, or twined by the fingers of some
modest, blushing maiden. And in
our grand march to greatness, through
the vista of years that lie behind, the
fair and lovely daughters of the Old
North State have helped us on the
way; and in no place on earth do they
more fully share in that proverb true
and trite:
"The hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world.'
And they shall be our guiding star
and our guardian angels, even unto
the end, and shall with us gloriously
the name of the Old North
State forever.
Methinks I could not more fittingly
close this tribute to the Old North |
State than in the following immortal
lines of Scott:
Breathes there man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land?
Whose heart hath neer within him burned, i
AS homeward his footsteps he hath turned,
From wandering in foreign land?
If such there be, mark him we'll,
For him no minstrel raptureS swell;
High though his title, proud his name,
his wealth as wish can claim -
Despite those titles, power and pelf,
The wretch cOncentered all on self,
Living shall forfeit fair renown,
And doubly dying, shall 60 down
10 the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Cnwept, unhonored. and unsung.

HARRY SKINNER.
Money is His God and he is Now
Serving it in the Third Party.
[Greenville ReflectOr.]

One of the men who addressed this
meeting Third party convention in
Pitt county, was none other than Col.
Harry Skinner, the gentleman who
has been feigning such beautiful 81
lence, thinking that no one knew what
he was doing or where he was drifting.
With much pomposity of manner he
spoke for sometime. His remarks did
not reach the level of an argument,
but were simply rant and noisy sound.
1t was not much else but "Skinner"
all the way through with 81 did this
and 81 did that He ranted much
about what he had done, and what the
"Democratic party had for years
promised but failed to do"
The colonel reached the point of
showing the utter Nervousness of his
character when he stood on tiptoe
and shouted that from "boyhood his
sympathies had been with the masses"
and expressed his great love for the
"downtrodden farmers,' that he chad
rather be with the common people and
go down with them than to receive
the homage and plaudits of Others,
etc. Great Jupiter! just as if the
people of Pitt county did not know
that all the Glove" Col. Skinner has
ever had for the "masses'' and the
"common people" was measured by
what he could extortion out of them!
What one man has ever defrauded
more of the farmers of Pitt county
than Harry Skinner? How many
farmers are there to-day who will
testify that for money borrowed from
him they had to pay from IS to IS
per cent. and in some casses even as
high as 60 per cent?
The secret of Col. SINNERS Third
party enthusiasm can be told in fewer
words than he tried to tell it in that
speech. There are people who read
the Reflector who are familiar enough
with the Scriptures to know that
woes are pronounced against the man
"who putte.h his money to usury.
Well, the co.onel has been overtaken
by some woes. How he stands to-day
is no hidden secret, and he perhaps
speaks more truth than is intended
when he says 81 feel the financial
depression as much as any man." His
god is money, and having lost the art
of former days he is now ready to
make any sacrifice of principle or
manhood if by SO doing he can blind
the people and by their suffrages be
raised to power and affluance. But the
colonel's little game won't work. His
talents and gifts of mind might be used
in better and more worthy cause.

SECRET PURPOSE.:
State Chronicle /

1t sometimes appears that the great
purpose of bill is not fully disclosed
until it has become a law. This was
true in regard to the force bill. Soon
after it passed the Republican House
of Representatives under the leader
ship of Speaker Reed, the leading
organ of the Republican party, then
published at Washington, the National
Republican, under date July 3, said:
"With the Lodge national election
law in full force over the South and
various Democratic strongholds up
North, we may confidently look for
different state of political affairs than
now exists. New York city will then give
several more Republican Congressman
than at present, while more than
twenty negro representatives from the
South will render the Republican
control of the future Congress abso
lutely secure and Safe AS Mississippi,
South Carolina and Florida contain a
large majority of negroes, and as there
are enough white Republicans in
Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina
and louisiana, acting in concert with
the negroes, to put these States into
the Republican line, we can conf
IDENTIFY look in the future for seven
Southern States to be reliably Repub-
lican. This means gain Of fourteen
Senators and at least twenty Repre-
sentatives to the Republican party
Such was the secret purpose of the
force bill Such is now as then the
purpose of the Republican party,
should the bill ever become law.
Harrison and other Republicans mean
that the bill shall be operated in the
Southern States first, and then in every
congressional district where the Demo
Gratis may have majority. Southern
white men can now see the danger of
Republican success. 1t must be
averted.

A GRAND PICTURE.
[Wilson Advance /

What grander picture does Ameri-
can history present, than that of Gro
yer Cleveland, as he stood in the pres
ence of his sage counsellers who would
warn him Of the disastrous effect OF
his veto of the pension bill and of his
advocacy of tariff reform upon his
prospects as the probable candidate
of his party for the presidency?
In full view of the fact that the
one aroused the indignant opposition
of the grand army OF the republic
and that the other would bring down
upon him the crushing weight of the
manufacturing interest of the north,
he replied:
"Gentlemen, have given these
matters thorough consideration. !
have done right. ! am willing to ac-
ccpt the consequences for myself and
my party. In what have done,
| have had in my mind one man,
who has been oppressed, bowed
down, we'll nigh ruined by tax
