The other evening, riding ON street car
with lady, the writer felt in his waist
coat pocket and discovered there no small
change except nickel and five cop
per cents. All these coins he took out and
poised between thumb and finger prepara-
tory to paying the two fares when the con-
ductor came along Dear uer' the lady
exclaimed, you are not going to give the
poor fellow coppersS" why nots" asked;
"wouldnt he rather have them than
change dollars" "Of course not,n she
said; don't you know that the company
won't let them turn in pennies, but that
they have to go and get rid of them some
where?"
did not know it, and indeed seriously
doubted that a corporation could be as
mean to its employees as that. insisted on
paying the fares with tae nickel and the
five coppers, but as soon as he had rung
his bell punch the lady asked the man
point blank SIS it true that the company
won't receive pennies from you!' "Oh,
yes, it's true" said the man; they won't
let US turn in any pennies, and good
share of the little time we have to our
selves we have to spend in running around
and getting rid of the miserable stuff"

''Women, mostly" said the conductor
''They just dump them on US. Whenever
see woman get onto car | think she:
going to give me coppers." This, in view
of the fact that it was the lady with me
who had protested against my transaction
made me feel guiltier still. But the con
ductor went GU relentlessly: I'VE have K

as we can. | always give a woman son'

JOHN MINREMYER,
Chief of Staff

The Chief MarShal's recommendation
I'm regard 10 the line Of march, precipi-
tated pretty fight between delegates
from the South Side, and those repre-
senting locals In other extreme portions
of the city. 1t was started by a dele
gate from Bloch Bros. Tobacco Work
ers Union, who stated that he was in
structed to say to the Assembly that
his union would not participate in the
demonstration, unless the parade goes
as far south as Thirty-ninth street.
Delegate ]. II. Burt took the
fooor to advocate the change in
the route, and moved 10 re-
con slider the motion adopted at a pre-
vious meeting, giving the chief marshal
authority in the matter. Another dele
gate replying to the threat OF the To-
bacco Workers Union, said that the
body be represented would not 90
south OF Twenty-fourth street Mr..
Robertson favored the short route, and
regarded the picnic as the principal
event of the day. Mr.
Burt replied in a spirited speech.
He denied that the picnic was
the principal event. He favored good
demonstration as the best method TO
teach the lessons associated with Labor
Day. He favored line Of march which
would give every person In the city an
opportunity TO observe the strength OF
organized labor In the city Of Wheel
ing.
Mr.. Robertson took the floor TO again
advocate a short parade. He insisted
that the picnic was the more important.
II was essential to the existence OF the
Trades Assembly, which has always
been maintained without the payment
OF dues by the delegates. II the picnic
was a failure there would be no Assem-
bly, next year. Several members plead
for better union feeling, depreeating
the threats OF different organizations.
After nearly every ieleRate mad eX-
pressed his views upon the subject, a
vote was reached. RitchietOwn lost by
an overwhelming vote, and the parade

TIE VAR N BR.f/TE.

President Peixoto has written a long
communication % the people d nc
United States through the New York
Herald In it he takes occasion to ex-
plain the condition Of the war in Bra
I'll a. seen from his standpoint He
SAYS that the rebel fleet under Melio
are shut up in the harbor of Rio janet
70. and their attempts To escape have
been defeated by the government fort
at the entrance Of the harbor He also
says that the effort, Of the insurgents
are being baffled at all points.
Evidently he is seeking aid from the
United States, and is placing hi, own
efforts in as good light as possible.
If what he says Is true, he does not
need any help; for the insurgents are
on their last legs, and can not stand
much longer.
But Admiral Mello makes reply to
Peixoto's address. He also seeks the
ear and eye OF the American people
through the Herold He charges Pc
ixoto with false statements, declares
that he has established dictatorship,
and shows him To be most cruel and
crafty tyrant He also is seeking aid.
and his utterances must be received
with quite liberal allowance
One thing that seems to complicate
the situation is the fact that Mello has
the tacit good will of the sovereigns of
Europe. 1t has been charged that the
rebellion was started through the insti-
CATION of European governments, for
the purpose of reestablishing the mon
archy that came to an end in 1890.
| Mello is receiving the secret good will,
if not the direct support, of the crown
ed heads of Europe.
Our government has not taken hand
vet, one way Or the other But we all
believe in the Monroe doctrine, and we
will not tamelv submit to its being
broken before our eyes. If any foreign
government shall begin to interfere
down there, we shall expect Uncle Sam
to say "hands Off" and enforce biz
words by cannon balls, if necessary.
If we are to Judge by the reports that
are sent from the seat of the trouble
we must become convinced that moth
ing Of serious nature has been done
by either side, and no great damage
done. Rio is in state of seige and
blockade, but they seem to be satisfied
with simply lying in the harbor with
out making any great effort to I'M ure
property or to damage the city.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1893-11-16
THE REASON WHY.

The elections last Tuesday resulted
in an overwhelming victory for the
Republicans. New York went Repub-
lican by 10000; Massachusetts,, bv
$4,000; Pennsylvania, by $4,000 :;
New Jersey, 10000; Ohio, by 10000 ::
Iowa, by $4,000 and 50 on. Virginia,
Maryland, and Kentucky alone remain
true to the Democrats, and in the last
two States by reduced maiorlties.
People are naturally asking them
selves and everybody else what is the
cause of this tremendous cyclone of
Republican votes. We frankly say
that we don't know, If any body asks
us. But we have read something Of
what other people have said about it.
and don't much agree with them.
New York leaders of Democracy say
that the reason why the Republicans tri-
umphed in that State was the fact that
Maynard, bad man, was ON the ticket.
and he was too heavy to carry Massa-
chusetts and New Jersey leaders say
that the money depression and hard
times caused it; silver advocates saw
that the unconditional repeal caused it ::
Mr.. Cleveland and his supporters say
that the delay in passing the Repeal
bill caused it ; and so it goes, all per-
haps wrong, but may be right.
In all probability the Democrats
very largely staid away from the polls.
and the Republicans voted their
strength. Mr.. Cleyeland's administra-
ton has been disappointment to
large number of Democrats all over
the country and they declined to give
1t their support by their votes, and
therefore remained away from the polls
on election day
Whatever may have been the reason
1t Is certain that David B. Hills no1iti-
cal coffin has been manufactured bv it
1or which we are glad, and that William
MCKINNEY Is the budding hope of the
Republican party for the next cam
paign.

GOTERNOR'S PROCL1MATION.
STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.

At the close of another year it is
meet and proper that, as a State and
Nation, we should give thanks to the
Author Of every good and perfect gift
for the many blessings vouchsafed to
us. The people OF North Carolina
have much for which to be thankful.
The ravages of the storm, the blight Of
disease. and the serious ills which have
befallen some other States, God in His
mercy has spared us. Our lands have
responded to our labOrs, and although
not as abundsntly us heretofore, still we
have sufficient to preserve us from hun
ger and want.
In compliance, therefore, with the
e-honored and beautiful Christian
custom of our Commonwealth. and in
conformity with the recommendation
of the President of the United States.
I, Elias Carr, Governor of the State of
North Carolina, do appoint Thursday,
November Both, 1898, as day of pub
lie Thanksgiving and praise to God I
earnestly request the people of the
State to observe this day in a suitable
manner, laying aside, as far as possible,
their secular pursuits, and to assemble
in their usual places of worship and
with thankful hearts give praise and
Thanksgiving. And that every heart
may rejoice, let us remember with that
charity which is twice blessed. the
poor and afflicted, the widow and or
phan, the unfortunate institutions.
and be especially mindful of our fast
aging heroes at their own firesides and
in the Soldiers Home.
Given under my hand, and the Great
Seal OF North Carolina. at the City of
Raleigh, this Sth day of November.
