In Loving Memory of Our Father
GEORGE w. JOHNSON,


GEORGE W. JOHNSON,
Who died November Sd, aged 63 years ant
Is days.
Farewell, dear father, sweet be thy rest,
Weary with years and worn with pain;
Farewell, till in some happy place
We shall behold thy face again.
We miss thee from our home, dear father,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow over life is cast,
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
We were weeping around his bed side,
For we knew that he must die
1t was night within our bosom,
1t was night within the sky.
But human hands tried 10 save him,
Signs and tears were all in vain;
But an angel came and called him
From this weary world of pain
BY HIS CHILDREN.

CHRISTMAS ON MONDAY.
If Christmas Day on Monday he.
A great winter that year you'll see.
And full oil winds both loud and shrill:
But i'll summer, truth TO tell,
High winds shall there be, and strong,
Full of tempests lasting long;
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die.
They that be born that day, ween,
They shall be strong each one and keen;
He shall be found that stealeth augbt;
Tho thou be sick, thou diest not"
So runs a quaint old rhyme, unearth-
ed in the British Museum, the cor
rectness of which we will have an op-
portunity of testing during the ap-
preaching anniversary. Is it pro-
phecy, or simply the summing up of
the experience of the foregoing ages?
Perhaps it is the setting afloat of this
theory, and not, as supposed, the
visit of the Russians to Paris, which
has SO influenced the style of winter
wraps for ladies, making them heavier
than for a number of previous sea-
sons, and increasing the taste for furs.
President Cleveland has been cri-
| ticized for the refusal of the admins
| tration to annex Hawaii. 1t has been
pointed out that our Constitution
does not provide for the annexation
of any country except as States or terri
tories, and that if Hawaii were annex
ed it must be as State, with equal
| powers and privileges as other States.
! While the administration has given
| Hawaii to understand that we did not
care to annex it, we have with candor
informed it that no other country can.
President Cleveland's policy is sound,
in spite of all the Jingoism that may
be uttered againstit. 1t is an indorse,
ment of the policies outlined by Sec,
rotary of State Webster in 1842, Secre,
tary Marcy in 1853 and Secretary

THE PRESIDENTS DEFEA T.

1t was humiliating to Mr.. Voorhees,,
in the extreme, to move an adjourn
ment Of the Senate last Friday morn
ing without reaching a vote on the Re-
! peal bill He was game to the last and
would have staid there to the end,
but he could not hold his followers in
line. The repealers we're fading from
the Senate hall one by one. seeking
rest and repose, when Mr.. Voorhees, ac-
knowledged his utter defeat and moved
to adjourn.
The defeat of Senator Voorhees, is
the defeat of the President. 1t was
the pet scheme of Mr.. Cleveland to
push the Repeal bill through the Sen
ate, and he managed we'll, no doubt of
that he had his men disciplined and
we'll charged, but when the test came,
they went down before the superior
tact and skill of their opponents.
| It is we'll that it is thus. The coun-
try will rejoice at this signal defeat Of
the executive in trying to control leg
islation 1t is thus demonstrated that
government patronage cannot control
the congress of the United States.
1t is to be hoped that no other effort
will he made.
We greatly admire Mr.. Cleveland s
pertinacity in this matter. We believe
that he honestly thought that the
Sherman law was the author of all our
woes. We believe that he thought
it's repeal would be the financial saliva
ton of the country. We believe him
to be earnestly bent upon what he
thinks is right We give him the
credit for all that.
| But we are glad of his defeat. We
are glad that the Democratic party
acknowledges no man as master, be
he high or low. We are glad that this
attempt of the executive to bring I'M
der the administration lash the Demo-
cratic Senators has been Il failure.
Now let the Democratic Senators get
together, leave Mr.. Cleveland out of
the caucus, and decide on financial leg
islation that will suit the country
There is good chance now tor RENE,
dial legislation, and we hope skill and
wisdom will be the guiding influence
in the future consideration of this
question.

SITUA TON At VA SHINGTON.

We've just begun to fight, said Mr.
Voorhees, in the Senate the other day
after his defeat. He Is plucky. indeed.
but whether he means what he said re-
mains yet to be seen.
AT any rate the silver Senators are
very much encouraged, and the oppo-
sition seem to be slightly discouraged.
Mr.. Cleveland, however. will hear Of
no compromise, and still urges the i'm
mediate repeal Of the Sherman law.
In all probability no action will be
taken this week. There can be none
until both sides show willingness for
a compromise, and if Mr.. Voorhees, is
as sincere as the immortal John Paul
Jones, when he said those words, there
is yet to be long fight.

FEDERAL ELECTION LAW.

Last Tuesday the initiatory step toward
repeating the Federal election law was
made in the House. By strict party
vote the bill for its repeal was passed,
and If the Senate shall concur with the
House in the matter, that obnoxious
law will soon be stricken from the
statute books.
It will be great triumph for repre-
sentative government when that shall
be accomplished. 1t is a partisan
measure, and was passed for the very
purpose of perpetuating the power Of
one political party in this country.
With its repeal, which seems now SO
certain, the hope Of the party that con-
ceived it will be gone 1t was intended
as a menace to the Democrats of the
South, and pretended to be safeguard
for the negro vote Of the Southern
States.
1t was manifestly a failure, however,
for the negro went right ahead and
voted the Democratic ticket. regardless
OF federal supervisors. in many places.
In that way, its purpose was defeated.
Let the Senate now concur in its
passage, and we shall he rid of law
that is blot upon the political history
OF this country. II it shall do that, we
shall yet have cause to rejoice that the
extra session of congress was called
together by the President.

THAT was magnificent display OF
physical endurance made by Mr.. Allen

Thursday night. He spoke for nearly
fifteen consecutive hours, and during
the whole time he seemed to be as

that he hesitated not one moment
that his voice failed not one bit, and
that he was listened to attentively

rs 1T WORTH WHILEe

relying upon my readrrs to help me
make it good by sticking to the paper
in renewing their subscriptions and in
whatever patronage they can give the
paper otherwise.
My temporary absence from the Of
flee does not abate my interest in the
work, the rather it intensifies my solic-
itnde. If the paper has proved itself
worthy of the confidence and support
of the people of Scotland Neck and
community, I ask that it be recognized
in the liberal patronage that the town
and community can well afford to give.
The price of the paper is one dollar
and any one who will can afford it. In

paper will renew their subscriptions as

THE NEGRO CONGRESS.

We see it stated among our exchanges
that congress Of negroes has been
called to meet i'm Cincinnati some time
soon, to consider the wrongs of that
race in the South. We hope that it
will do some good.
The leading negroes of the country
certainly have it in their power, to a
certain extent, to improve the condition
of affairs in regard to the frequent
lyDchings in the South. The question
is, will they do it?
We sometimes think that the leaders
of the race, instead Of advising their
fellows to be law abiding, tactily advise
them to prosecute their lawlessness
At any rate they have chance, now,
in the congress, which will soon meet,
to issue proclamation to the negroes
of the South to the effect that rapes,
murders, and burnings must cease
Will they do it?
If they will, and if these things shall
cease, then lynchings will cease, and
the negro will have no wrongs to COM
plain about, and the congress will have
done a great work for both races. But
SO long as the negro continues to burn,
murder, assault, and destroy. so long
will lynching be popular in the South.
1t is hoped, therefore, that the ne
groes, who meet in Cincinnati will
take the proper steps and advise the
proper course, and then lose no time In
informing their followers of the matter.
