PHILLIPS BROOKS.

The unexpected death OF the great
preacher and noble man, Phillips
Brooks, Bishop of the Protestant Epis-
copal Church for the Diocese Of Massa
chusetts, is a sad shock to the public.
He was in a peculiar sense a public
man, one who without transcending
the limits of his professional sphere
exercised wide and powerful influence
uponmasses of people not subject
to hisecclesiastical authority.
He had scarcely crossed the thresh
old OF new career in the duties Of
which his friends confidently expected
him to develop fresh powers and to
obtain more distinguished honors than
those already accumulated upon his
brow. He was consecrated Bishop
Oct. 14th, 1891, being then in the
fifty-sixth year of his age, with APP
parent promise of long and vigorous
service. But he is dead, cut off by an
attack which would be expected TO
prove fatal only in the case of an aged
or much enfeebled person.
1t is natural to think of Phillips
Brooks as primarily great preacher.
He was one whom all classes OF peo
pie delighted to hear in the pulpit.
His language was not marvellously
beautiful. Others have surpassed him
in rhetorical graces. But he a singular
power of broadening the prospect
while simplifying the form of his
thought. He illuminated the intell-
gence of his hearers and at the same
time exalted their emotions. He had
the power of true eloquenCe without
seeming to cultivate eloqunnce as an
art.
But the secret of his high, st power
was not in his intellectual iii, :. ,"hicl,
were superior and abundant; nu:- III
the elegance of his style, whitt. was
delightful; nor in the manner of his
speech, which was electric and fasci-
mating. 1t was in the character of the
man. His grand presence was aglow
with the passion of truth. He was one
who believed in man as we'll as in God.
He was as full OF sympathy as of
reverence. Whoever listened to him
on any occasion felt that his utterance
was out of the fulness of a heart as
human as it was honest.
He was a great preacher indeed !;
but he was a greater man. He
broadened the range of his Church.
He magnified the office of the priest
hood. He was foremost in all good
works. Ardently patriotic, he was a
model citizen. He overlooked his
parish and diocese. In a sense his
parish was the whole country. He
was as distinguished and almost as
much loved in England as at home.
By his death a mighty force tor
good has ceased to be active, except
as an example and an INSPIRATION

THEHOMESTEADLAW.

The Homestead Law is not right.
1t is bid for rascality and fraud and
is unjust to all creditors. 1t has work
ed badly and been a source Of much
corruption. 1t is an injury to the
State because it is shield and protec-
ton to scoundrels. 1t is a law that
discriminates against all worthy,
energetic, industrious young men who
have not inherited or accumulated
property. The law has been tried,
and the most intelligent and reliable
people who have watched its operations
know that it has failed in the best ends
aimed at, while fostering designing
rascals and rogues. 1t ought to be
repealed, and the Legislature ought to
take steps to submit the question of an
amendment of the State Constitution
to the people. With bad laws to
Cypress the worthy and to help the
undeserving who are without honesty

is seen how many excellent and
meritorious young men HE them to

CAROLINA'S WORTHY son.

of his sterling worth and valiant
services to the party and such action

Democrats from the mountains to the

The thousands of friends of Col.
Carr throughout the South would also
be rejoiced to see him honored with

most enterprising and useful citizens

would fill the office with credit to
himself and great honor to his State.

CLEVELAND AT THE GRAVE OF
HAYES.

The manly sentiment of personal
obligation to show respect and esteem
for their country's illustrious dead,
which to noble minds becomes public
duty, has been seldom more forcibly
or gracefully expressed than it was by
Grover Cleveland leaving his warm
freside and his pleasant winter retreat
among the sheltering pines of Lake
wood to make the long, solitary
journey, in the most forbidding,
Indictment weather, to the open grave
of ex-President Hayes at Fremont.
This act Of Mr.. Cleveland's is curl
ously consistent with his character it
is wholly consistent with his refusal to
20 to the dedication of the World
Fair at Chicago because his Presiden-
tial competitor, Mr.. Harrison, watch
ing by the dea,hbed of his beloved
wife, could not also go and receive the
greeting of the people upon his way
and there. Mr.. Cleveland's refusal to
accept political advantages in the midst
of Residential campaign which, by
reason of affection, his competitor
could not share with him, was sharply
criticised at the time as the crafty act
of politician seeking through his
letter of declination to obtain public
favor and applause. Selfish political
expediency would have induced Mr.
Cleveland to go to Chicago, and selfish
regard for his own comfort anG con-
venience would have induced him no,
to go to Fremont. That unselfishness
and that manly courage and simplicity
which are Mr.. Cleveland's most strik
ing characteristics would not permit
him to go to Chicago, and they com
PEELED him to 60 to Fremont. He
knew that in both cases his purpose
would be criticised, misconstrued ano

believed to be right, and that is wha

| How the Earnest SOutherner FlOOred
Zach Chandler.
The death of Justice Lamar has re-
called his we'll known devotion to the
/. Confedcracy. His love for the leader
of the lost cause was productive of one
of the most dramatic scenes in the
history of the Senate. The Mexican
Pension bill was under consideration
and an amendment pended extending
its provisions to all veterans irrespec-
tive of their course in the war between
the States Senator Zach Chandler
came to his feet with short speech in
which lie said that while in the main
he agreed to the general tenor of the
amendment, yet under its provisions
even Jeff Davis would be restored to
citizenship. "And," he added, g
am not prepared to go SO far as that"
Lamar rose. His intense excitement
was evident Between him and Chan
dler a strong personal antagonism ex-
listed. An outburst was expected, and
1t came.
"Mr. President," said the Miss
issippian, with outstretched finger
pointing at his foeman, his tall form
trembling with emotion, but his voice
bell-l in its clearness and without a
culver in it, "when Prometheus Law
bound to the rock it was not the king
of beasts who availed himself of his
distress. 1t was not any other of the
nobler brutes of the field or birds of
the air. 1t was the vulture, the scav-
enger of the animal kingdom glutton-
ing upon carrion, which preyed upon
his vitals, knowing that in defence
less man, who could move neither
hand nor foot, he had one into whose
vitals he could dig his beak.'
He sat down amid a stiffness so
profound that the rustic of a paper
sounded harshly. Chandler was
deadly pale. Drops of perspiration
stood upon his forehead and he clinched
the arms of his chair until the
strained wood creaked. 1t was expected
that he would reply Twice he half
rose then sank back. He did not

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

When leaving his home at Springfield,
ILL.,, to be inaugurated President of the
United States, made farewell address to
his old friends and neighbors, in which he
said. ''NEIGHBORS, GIVE YOUR BOYS A
CHANCE"
These words come with as much force to-
day as they did thirty years ago
How give them this chance?
up In the Northwest is a great empire
waiting for young, and sturdy fellows to
come and develop it and grow up with
the country" All over this broad land are
the young fellows, the boys that Lincoln
referred to, seeking to better their condition
and get on in life
Here is their chance.
The country referred to lies along the
Northern Pacific r. +. Here you can find
pretty much anything you want. In Min

unparalleled. In crossing the Rocky

greatest mountain scenery to be seen in

found. The wonderful bad lands, wonderful

THE wanton and uncalled for at
tacks of the ReidsviIle ReOie7V upon
Col. Julian S. Carr, can have but one
efect-to raise that gentleman in the
estimation of his friends. We have
seen nothing in North Carolina news
paper touching the character OF an
honest and honorable mana man
whose private and public acts are
above suspicion and who has the con-
fidence and respect of all our people
regardless of church creed or political
bias, SO cowardly and dastardly. We
say cowardly because the editor of the
ReUie7U did not have the courage and
manliness to openly charge what he
cndeavored to convey by inuendo and
insinuation. Julian S. Carr has friends
enough among the editors of North
Carolina to have complimentary things
written and printed about him and

An Instance of Reckless Bravery.

Secretary Herbert tells the following:
My regiment had charged right up among
the guns of Union battery, whose men
and horses had nearly all been killed. There
was one gun to which four horses had been
attached. The two rear horses had been
shot down in harness. The two leaders
were apparently unhurt, and on one of them
sat a lad, head erect, vigorously plying his
whip on the other horse and striving to
save his gun. He was devoting his whole
soul to that purpose, utterly unInindful OF
our men, who were sUrginG about him.
He was literally like the Casabianca of
the flaming deck. l could have touched
him with my sword and was just about to
beg him to surrender when shots rang out
from behind me, and he dropped from his
horse, dead as he fell. He might have saved
himself. but he seemed determined to save
that gun or die. 1t was sublime, but l can
never think of it without shudder at the
horrors of the sacrifices of that war
