DEMOCRATS IN THE NORTH
ERN ARMY.
Wilmington Messenger.l


1t is remarkable fact that nearly
all of the most distinguished Generals
on the Northern side were Democrats
prior to the war. On the authority of
no less Northern soldier than Gen.
Boynton, the distinguished newspaper
correspondent, we make this statement.
This is true, because Grant, Sherman,
Thomas, Mcclellan, Slocum, Buel,
Rosecrans, Logan, Franklin, Sickles
and many others we're Democrats.
Thomas was Southern born as was the
North's great naval commander, Ad-
miral Farragut, of Tennessee. And
then the great President Lincoln too
was born in the South. There was a
great deal of Southern ability helping
the North in its fight to prevent the
Second independence of the South.
Gen. Boynton makes this statement
relative to pensions that if true is a
stigma upon both parties in the North {.
He says:
"While in it's essence the pension
question is non-partisan, it is such an
easy one to conjure with against the
Democrats that the moment any one
of this party undertakes to correct the
abuses which every fair man sees and
admits, general hue and cry is raised
at once that the Democrats are at last
wreaking their vengeance and their
spite on the old soldiers. No one stops
to think that a very large proportion
of these old soldiers, who went to the
war in 1861, when the question was
not in the remotest thought of by any
of them, were Democrats. 1t was
the North in mass, Republicans and
Democrats alike, that, under Repub-
lican Administration and manage
ment, fought the war to a conclusion,
and ever since the pension question
became prominent both parties have
nursed it and juggled with it to secure
political advantage"

CLEVELAND IS RIGHT.
IPittSboro Record

Pittsboro Record
Some persons charge President
Cleveland with inconsistency because
he has called an extra session Of Con-
gress to relieve the financial panic
that pervades the country. They
allege that he has heretofore urged
that the tariff was the chief cause of all
our troubles, and that now he places
the tariff as secondary to the financial
question. But really there is no
inconsistency in this, as may be clearly
perceived from the following illustra-
ton. Suppose man is wasting away
and slowly dying from some particular
disease, which if not checked is sure to
kill him after awhile, and while thus
suffering with this lingering disease he
is suddenly seized with a spasm or
some other acute sickness, which if
not relieved at once will prove fatal.
OF course any physician, if called to
see such patient, will first and I'M
mediately try to cure or relieve him
of the spasm or other sudden sickness,
and then afterwards try to cure him o
the lingering disease. Thus it is with
the body polite, which while being
slowly weakened by the tariff is seized
with a financial spasm, which ha:
thrown the whole country into con.
vulsions and which demands immeaIat
attention and treatment, and as soor
as this is relieved then the tariff shoule
and will be fully attended to.
/ Isn't this plain, common sense ?

Praise for the President.
(CharlOtte ObServer.l

We doubt if this country ever had
as fair a Chief Magistrate as Mr..
Cleveland is. In the distribution of
favors by this administration the South
has had at least her share; but the
other day it was announced that he
wanted to appoint the Public Printer
from the South, feeling that this Sec
ton deserved the place, never having
had it, and the morning dispatches
tell US he wants to appoint the Assis-
tan. Secretary of Agriculture from the
South if he can find the proper man.
Not many Presidents are animated by
this spirit of fairness or this high sense
of public duty. But it has long been
known that Mr.. Cleveland is not to
be judged by the tests that are applied
to other men. He is very great
man, not only intellectually but in
his Justice,

One of the "signs of the times" is
read in the way some of the papers
deal with our Zeb. Prior to six
months before his last election to the
Senate, no Democrat named him but
to praise him. For thirty years he
had been the ideal of the people of
his State, to whom he has always been
true and steadfast. A union man
prior to the secession of the State, he
promptly enlisted in the army as
soldier and was Colonel when called
to the Governors chair. AS the "war
Governor" of North Carolina his name
will ever be cherished on account of
his devotion to the soldiers on the
battlefield and to the people at home.
North Carolinian's were said to have
been better protected, and North Caro-
lima soldiers better clothed than those
of any other State. In time like that
when he could have become vastly
rich at but little sacrifice to the whole
people of the State, not one dollar
was diverted from its proper channel.
At the close of the war, when others
were putting a commercial value upon
their prominence and prestige, he
quietly settled down to the practice of
law in Charlotte, and though his
pantry and his wardrobe were not as
we'll stocked and as luxurious as he
might have desired, he had the gentle
manly instincts to live within his
income. In 1876, against his inclina-
ton, he was nominated for Governor
by the Democratic party, made the
most exhaustive and brilliant canvass
Of the State that was ever made before
or since, and had for his opponent the
best equipped man that has ever been
in the Republican party of this State.
He drove the Republican party from
its long lease of power and oppression
and fully installed the Democratic
party in its stead. Though Union
man in the start, and using all his
powers to prevent his State from with
drawing, and to stand by its fealty to
the Union, when she finally seeded,
he stood by her to the last, even to
the extent of term in prison.
Such, in brief, is the record of the
man whose name is now being SO
! fippantly used all over the State.
Truly we have fallen upon troublous
times, and the time seems to be at
hand when d" a mans foes shall be
those of his own household

A Sweet Voice.
baltimore Sun.1

William Archer, the we'll known
London critic, is quoted as paying the
following gushing tribute to Ada
Rehan's voice: sIt has something OF
the mellowness of a fresh, ripe peach
with the bloom upon it, while in pro-
longed monologue it suggests the flow
of those 'lucent syrups, tinct with Gin
namon, whereof the poet sang who
had of all men the most delicate per-
ception for things of pure beauty. 1t
seems to me that there is something
Enthusiastically Irish in Miss Rehan's
voice. Its range is very great but in
no key is it more irresistible than i'll
that insinuating cajolery." A ripe,
peachy voice, with a bloom upon it, is
new figure of speech, and somewhat
difficult to grasp. Probably Mr..
Archer meant peach-and- honey
voice, which is even pleasanter and
more seductive than the "lucent syrups,
tinct with cinnamon" of which his
poet, with an eye for beauty, sang.
The voice of peach and honey is low
and gurgling, but eminently soothing
to the feelings and inspiring to the
intellect. After listening to its "pro-
longed monologue' there lives no man
with soul so dead who would not join
with Mr.. Archer in inditing a poem
to the voice of the peach. Only, ir
this country, if one listens too long te
the dulcet tones of peach and honey
the bloom is apt to be transferred
from the peach to the nose of the
person who has been captured by it
sinsinuating cajolery.'

DIR. r. J. Calling, whose revolving
machine gun has attained a worldwide
reputation, has applied a feeder for
the gun, which renders it still more
convenient and useful than ever. 1t
seems to be perfect machine gun
now. On strip of tin are placed
twenty smokeless powder cartridges,
each held in place by bits of tin that
are turned up for the purpose These
slips are put into horizontal opening
and as they are drawn through, the
cartridges are stripped off and placed
in position to be thrust into the cham
bers. The motion is positive, and
there is no failure in any part of the
movement. The old plan was to drop
the cartridges into a vertical opening
and they were carried by gravity to
their position. 1t will be seen that by
this old method, the gun could not be
used when pointed upward or down
ward, except to a moderate degree.
But with the new invention the car
sridges are held in place in whatever
position the gun is held, horizontally
or perpendicularly, or at any angle.
Each one of the old feeders cost s2.5o.
The new tin strips cost but 2 cents
each. The new system shields the
cartridges from the rain.
There is another advantage: the
strips with cartridges attached, can be
compactly packed, and much larger
amount of ammunition can be carried
with the gun than by the old way.
The gun can be fed by these strips
with the greatest rapidity. With them
it has been fired s,12o times in a
minute; and when turned by a little
electric motor attached to the breech
it can be fired 5000 times a minute.
The ingeniously contrived move
nent of this revolving gun works as
easily and smoothly as the simple roll
ing of a wheel. 1t is a wonderful
piece of mechanism, wonderful for its
simplicity and accurate movements
tsuperior 10 all other machine guns in
Fits principle of revolving cylinder bar.
Irels and locks at the same time moving
with such exactness that in firing ovel
5000 charges in minute, there is nc
failure in the working of the cartridges.
If a cartridge is imperfect something
that does not occur once in 10000
shots, the gun works on just as accur
ately if the miss fire had not occurred.
The small bullets used in this gun
with smokeless powder, have beer
kfred through forty, one-inch pine
boards. They can be fired two mile:
and then have force enough to pas
through the body Of man. DIR. Cat
ling recently exhibited one of hi:
newly perfected guns before the United
States army board of examiners a
Springfield, and they were delighted
with it Eighteen of the new gun
were ordered by the war department
each having this remarkably advan
tageous improvement in the feeding.

and England we'll knows

ChrlstendOm and England we'll knows
it,,
He is precisely correct, as We un-
derstand it, and as we set forth in an
editorial last week, in saying that gold
left our country for Europe because
we owed it abroad and the balance Of
trade was against us. Shipments of
wheat have turned the tide and it is
now coming in. Some of our securities
did come home and take off the gold
in payment, but this hurt nobody but
spectators in them, who were fearful
that the price would fail and they
would lose money"
His strike at Mr.. Cleveland we do
not appreciate. Perhaps he is striking
also at others. 1t is proper to say that
if we understand Senator Vance he
will vote for the repeal of the Sherman
act only upon the condition of a
satisfactory substitute guaranteeing
silver for coinage or something else
equally as good. We infer this. The
Messenger prefers upon reflection to
take the law as copied above as the
guide of legislation. Garry that law
out honestly, entirely, and it will
meet all the demands of intellight,
rejecting men who desire to do right.
The law demands
I. The repeal of the Sherman COW
ardly makeshift."
2. A double standard-silver and
gold.
3. No discrimination against either
metal in any way.
4. No charge for mintage of either
gold or silver.
5. The dollar unit to be of equal
intrinsic and Interchangeable value, and
the parity must be maintained between
the two metals.
6. Both metals shall be equal in the
markets and in the payment of all
debts.
7. That all paper currency shall be
kept on par value-a dollar being
worth a dollar.
8. That all paper currency shall be
redeemable in such coin-silver and
gold.
This is the law of the Democratic
party. The Messenger accepts it in
good faith and thinks it wise, sufficient,
covers all the ground, and if adopted
by the Federal Congress would be a
great blessing to all sorts and con-
dtions of men-Senators, editors,
the farmers and all other necessitous
classes.

ALL ROUND PROGRESS.

"A uttle room ON the stairway mas as

nificant words in big letters on the
wall" $4,000, 900 earned annually
by stenographers and typewriters in
America" In this room daily ex-
hibitions are given by Miss Mae E.
Orr, worlds champion fastest woman
typewriter living.
A few more steps bring the visitor
to the Organization Hall, where
womankind fairly revels in societies
with mouthfuls of initials. How women
love to organize! What innumerable
societies there are for promotion,
prevention, prohibition, protection and
what not! What committees and sub
committees, and sub-sub-committees!
What energy and perseverance and
hopefulness. The hall is divided by
low railings, hung with blue silk
curtains, and into this CHEEKY abode
the women have brought their photo
graphs, petitions, banners and statis-
tics.
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is near the entrance, with its
colossal petition for prohibition, form
ing roll upon roll Of paper mounted on
linen and containing already 3,ooo,-
900 names, which are daily being
added to. 1t was circulated eight
! years ago, and will be sent to the
/ different governments of the world.
Another curio is the big bell moulded
! from the metal pipes used by Japanese
who were prevailed upon to give up
smoking by the w. c. L. U. workers
in Japan. 1t was first tolled at the
funeral of Mary Allen West, w. c. +.
U. missionary to Japan.
The Young Woman's Christian AS
sociation, college alumne, authors
protective societies, literary clubs,
working women's organizations and
other societies have place in this hall.
Prominent among them is the National
Council of Women, including societies
and organizations of every kind, with
woman suffragists holding an i'm
portant place. A chart shows the line
of woman's progress in America from
1900 to the present day. From 1900
to 1870, mainly colonial period, the
line makes but little elevation, but
from that time on, in periods of ten
years, it takes sudden skips upward
until, according to the chart, it is way
up in the air and womankind looks
down from lofty pinnacle on her
predecessors. The events range in
this order: Public schools in Boston
opened to girls. Women beginning
to teach. Oberlin College opens it:
doors to women. Women are speak.
ing in public and women ministers are
ordained. Woman's rights conyen.
ton at Seneca Falls. Wyoming give:
her women the ballot. Association o.
all women's interests and Women
International Council. Paris Con
gress. Congress of representative
women in Chicago, 1898.
Along the line are noted the fact o
! broadening opportunities, educational
advantages, new employments opened
, laws relating to women modified, ane
, women's organizations increasing ir
. numbers and membership. Think
what all of this means. 1t means new
, ! life and hope to the women OF ever.

PHlLANTHRopIC WORK.
There is no more interesting exhibit
than that by the various nurses train
ing schools of this and other countries.
The Johns Hopkins Hospital has sent
photographs and miniature doll nurses,
gowned in the neat blue and white
uniforms worn there, and other
hospitals are represented by models Of
wards, where tiny patients, with the
rosiest of cheeks and plumpest of faces,
are being attended by little uniformed
nurses, assisting at all kinds of opera
tions. The Royal British Nurses
Association shows portraits . OF the
president, Princess Christian, Of famous
nurses and a complete system Of
uniforms for nurses, besides models of
wards.
In this connection is exhibited some
of the work of Kake Marsden, of
London, in the lepe- colony in Siberia.
There is a reproduction in miniature
of one Of the novels in which the brave
woman found lepers hidden away in
the forest of Vilinsk, and close by,
in striking contrast, is model of the
proposed leper village which Miss
Marsden hopes to build. The village
model consists of two hospitals, work.
shops and school, doctors nurses and
clergy houses, church and ten separate
leper dwellings, each with little
garden. Those of them who are still
able to use their hands and feet will be
taught some kind Of industry, and
especially to cultivate the ground.
Only those in an advanced stage of the
disease will be in the hospitals.
This is but one branch of the phil
anthropic work displayed and an
attempt at an inspection of this
department will give some slight idea
i of the vast mission field which women
! are covering in their efforts to help
one another. One is struck by the
unselfsh character of a large part Of
the work as outlined in the exhibits.
Educational and philanthropic en-
deavor among women of every tongue
and condition, from the people OF the
far East so the ragged, benighted
dwellers in the slums of the great
cities at home, is illustrated in the
Woman's Building. Kindergartens,
industrial schools, gymnasiums, dress
reform, art schools and colleges are
represented, each by models, pictures
and statistics that tell an eloquent
story of new era for woman, as
bright il golden promise as Bellamy's

Male and Female Trains.

A physician who has had much expe-
rience of the insane has examined the
brains of one thousand six hundred
subjects. He comes to the conclusion
that nature makes palpable differences
between male and female brains.
First, there is difference in weight,
the male being heavier, possibly by
one ounce. relative to weight of body;
second, while the frontal lobes are
equal in the sexes, the parietal are
larger in the male and the occipital in
the female, who, consequently, has
quicker perceptions; third, the female
brain is less convolutcd in the gray
matter and has less service; fourth, the
blood supply is more copious IA the
anterior lobes in the male and the
posterior has a larger supply in the fc-
male, and these parts have different
nctivitics. The blood of the female is
also poorer in corpusclcs, there being
half million less In Il cubic MILL
meter. He fears that the tendency of
too much education or intellectual de-
vclopmcnt in women Is to make them
lose beauty. He instances the FARO
women of India. They are supreme.
They WOO the men, control the affairs
Of the home and nation, transmit prop
erty and leave man nothing to do. The
result is that they are the ugliest
women on earth.
