EDITORIAL NOTES.

Baltimore had a $3.50, 900 cotton
fire on the 18th.
A California editor publicly de-
nounces the report that he has joined
the church as "a campaign lie"
There are things in our State that
need looking after just as much as in
the Nation. Don't forget to be on the
lookout.
~ The South Carolina legislature
has passed a bill %forbidding the sale of
liquor except for medical, scientific
and sacramental purposes.
~ One of our North Carolina ex-
changes contains the advertisement of
a man who takes pictures half of the
week and shoes horses the other half.
Both branches of the South Caro-
lima Legislature passed a Railroad
Commission bill Friday. 1t gives the
Commission full powers to make rates.
~ On the 18th Senator George, of
Mississippi, addressed the Senate in
favor of the anti option bill now pend
ing. He made a number of good argu-
ments.
~ Revive your Alliance if it is dor
mant. Meet together and resolve that
plutocracy shall not step in and injure
the next best organization after the
church.
~ Educate. See that your schools
are in good working order this winter.
Read. Subscribe for as many papers
as you can and read both sides of
everything.
~ 1t is said that President Harrison
has saved much of his salary during
his term. Perhaps that accounts for
his notion that the country is very
prosperous.
~ The Sub Alliances in Catawba
county are calling for proof of the ex-
istence of Gideons Band from those
who are alleging that members belong
to the Band.
The Farmers Alliance is a neces-
sity. It's educational and social work
ings r commendable, and every
farmer should belong to the Order
from this if from no other reason.
It looks like the war is over.
Col. Harris, the ex-Confederate Con
gresham elected at the recent election
IN Kansas, not only got a majority,
but ran 1000 votes ahead of the other
tickets.
~ Bro. J. F. Click announces that
Mr.. A. S. Forney, late of New York,
a practical printer, has bought a half
interest in the Hickory Mercury. The
Mercury is a bold advocate Of Alliance
principles and deserves success.
~ Gen. Robert B. Vance, brother
of Senator Vance, and Miss Lizzie R.
Cook, of Graham county, were married
on the 18th. The General and bride
will spend the winter in Raleigh, ht
being a member of the next Legis
lature.
A Northern professor has beer

live to be 20 and 80 years old.

AHEAD OF TIE TIMES.
"0id Crank" Tells How He Thinks
Things Should Be.
His Idea of velocity as Applied to
Court Customs-The Kind of a
Navy America should Have.

Tryphena looked up and saw me seated
on the highest pinnacle of stupendous inn
prudence, and asked: "Old Crank, what
are you doing up there?"
Says L: "Tryphena, I am going TO
preach.'
Says she: "Come down from your eIe-
waited position, and don't make an arti-
fetal fool of yourself. A natural fool is
bad enough, but an artificial fool is ten
times worse. 1 suppose you are full to
overlooking of that old idea of pl oppressive
Improvement and reform, which we have
discussed so often; but l have seen so
much good preaching thrown away in this
world, that l am convinced that you
might sit up there and sing reform, re-
form, in your bass-est voice; and might
come up and sit beside you and sing re-
form, reform, in my shrillest treble, un-
til Time had pulled the last gray hair out
OF both of our heads, and LEFT us sitting
there, conspicuous with bald and shining
pates. and still society would meander
along, unmlndtul OF the song we sung,
following their predecessors and prece-
dents, single file, like Il tribe of savages
out on some barbarous expedition.
.When we perceive the slow growth of
the mighty power OF SelI-eNlGent truth
which Christ taught us, that the perfec-
ton of human life consists of each and
every one doing all the good possible to
each and every one with whom they
come in contact and never harm to any
not even by resistance TO evil-well may
such little atoms OF humanity as you and
] sit reverently silent and await the time
when no reform shall be needed"
.'All that you say is true, Tryphena."
said: "but the Master, Christ, also taught
us that this perfection of human lite
would come by slow evolution, like the
transformation OF little seed into mag
nificent tree.

Eighteenth Century convlvlallty.

fit were not that by far the larger num-
Der OF the men distinguished Tor birth,
states manShip or letters in the eighteenth
century died at a comparatively early
age, we might be inclined To think that
the capacity they displayed for hard
drinking showed q greater tOughness OF
constitution than their descendants pos
sess. Pope's Friend, Lord Bathurst, who.
as Sterne said, was prodigy at eighty
five. and had all the wit and promptness
OF a man of thirty, was an exception to
the almost universal rule, and his vital
ity was not due TO great abstemiousness,
If we may credit the tale, which is also
due to Sterne, that when about eighty
nine years of age, Having some friends
with. him ut his country seat. and
being 10th to part with them one night.
his son, the Lord Chancellor, objected to
sitting up any longer, and left the room.
As soon as he was gone. the lively old
peer said: Come, my good friends.
since the old gentleman is gone to bed
think we may venture to crack another
bottle.''
DR.. Johnson remembered the time
"when all the decent people in Iitchfield
got drunk every night and he said that
before his days OF total abstinence. he
laad drunk three bottles OF port without
being the worse for it. Convivial habits,
from the early years of the century to the
close of it, prevailed in high life as well
as in the lower orders, among the states
men of Queen Anne and the statesmen of
George III.-The Spectator.

Centuries have passed since the doc
trine was first preached, and centuries
more will pass before civilization will
have attained the perfection of true
Christianity; but while we are waiting
for this is it not worldly wisdom to ac-
cept the conditions Of life as we find
them?
ut is human nature to oppose the re-
siStance of force to the aggression
of force. How to do this most effec-
tually is a question for the wise; and it
has been written out of the mouths
OF babes and stockings hast thou or
dained wisdom Tryphena: l am GO
ing to preach. My text is Velocity
There Is power in velocity, which is
partially explained in philosophy, and
which is applied to some extent in me-
chanicS and in intercourse, but which, as
applied 10 national affairs, we either ig
more or trivially consider. The conse-
quence is that where our exhibition of
national power should be magnificent in
its might it is comparatively weak, be-
cause of its lack of velocity.
1--WE have been called fast people,
and perhaps with justice in some re-
spects, for we have been swift in inven-
lions and useful arts; swift in building
railroads and constructing telegraph
lines: swift in providing means for rapid
intercourse within the limits of our own
territory; and our velocity in obtaining
these desirable evidences of progress has
forced a small concession of respect from
other nations; but we are still very
deficient III velocity
Take, for one example, our courts of
justice. 1t is an old saying that swift
justice shall overtake the criminal but
our justice often seems too slow 10 over
take anything. How many cases Of inn
portance do we see brought into our
courts and retained there well may an
attorneys fee be called a retainer.
while the litigants live out the balance OF
their hyeS-oiten many years-and die
without any decision having been rem
dered? Justice becomes injustice, because
of its lack of velocity.
"All this is wrong, and its cause is
plainly traceable to the natural selfish
ness of good men. [All men, even ithe
best, are more or less seltishl
perhaps a remedy might be pointed
out which would not interfere with the
selfish interests of any, but it is not my
intention 10 indicate it here.
'.As nation we have been very slow in
acquiring a comprehension of what we
need TO place us in the position among
nations which we are destined 10 occupy:
but believe it has now fully dawned
upon the intelligence of the American
people that we need navy equal or SUI
perior to that of any other nation.

magnitude. A drilled citizen soldiery

The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1892-04-02

to be so extensive, so elaborate, as will be
the matter published Oh the ground from
day 10 day by the IJtteT- Ocean, nor could
any correspondence be one-twentieth SO
detailed as will be the reports in the
Inter Ocean.
The offer made, therefore, is one that
we anticipate will be widely appreciated.
It has been made possible only by great
difficulty ard at heavy expense to the
WEEKLY UNION, but it enables tire latter
to supplement its own efforts, which are
being constantly augmented, with the
best news and family paper published
in Chicago. The Inter Ocean manage
rangement, beyond the introduction of
its weekly more generally in California.
1t will not make similar arrangement
with any other paper; it did not suggest
it to the WEEKLY UNION, but it is the
result of the labor and solicitation Of the
management of the latter alone. It will
be realized, therefore, that it is q special,
unprecedented and exceedingly valuable
offer, one we think that has not been
paralleled in the history of journalism.
1t means that for g year there will be
mailed free of postage and neatly wrap
ped, to any subscriber, twenty-four pages
weekly of two of the best general news,
family, business and literary papers in
the world. or 1,24S pages and 1854 col
umns at cost of less than four cents
week.
Under such conditions any man or
woman, however poor, can have a Ii
brary of the news of the times; an elab-
crate current news history of the world;
an exhaustive record of all Worlds Fair
activity before and during the fair, a
clean, deeply interesting mass Of matter
for general reading, embraced in nearly
200 columns every week for very little
oUer half q cent q dag.
We submit this unequaled offer to all
readers of the RECORD UNION and
WEEKLY UNION, and to all others, with
confidence that it will be received with
pleasure and widely availed of. That it
may be made still more convenient and
acceptable to those who profit by the
offer, we have arranged that the Inter
Ocean shall be mailed direct from Chi
cago to our subscribers, so that all who
accept the 81 offer will twice week, and
on different dates, receive large 12-page
paper.
To those who wish the daily RECORD
UNION and the weekly Inter Ocean for
the same period, we make the offer to
furnish both papers for Sc so a year. The
price of the daily RECoRD-UNIoN is St
alone Thus this offer means that for so
cents added to the regular price of the
REcoRD-UNIoN we will furnish two
thousand, four hundred and ninety-six
pages of newspaper matter for year, or
eighteen thousand seven hundred and
twenty columns of matter printed in two
distinct sections of our common country.
