thoroughly enjoyed by all. The only
thing that marred the pleasure of the
occasion was the rain that came soon

and Mrs. Floyd were extremely kind
and clever to the visitors and did much
for their pleasure and enjoyment.

56EIn OF an dOuOFeO OlIiAoA.
William Daniel, Esq, died at his
home in " alnIt Grove township on
Sunday, the Goth day Of July, aged 76
years. Mr.. Daniel was man OF high

influence in his community. For many
wears he was Justice of the Peace IN
the county, and to him his neighbors
and friends looked for guidance and
advice. He was kind hearted and
generous and to him the poor man
never applied in vain. He leaves five
sons and one daughter, the wife of our
honored townsman. DR.. 7. Booth, who

They Read but Don't Subscribe.
We are often impressed by the per-
feet familiarity with everything printed
in the GOLD LEAF by persons who do
not subscribe for it. Either too indif-
ferent or too stingy to pay for the
paper they never the less read its con-
tents with unfail,ng regularity, and are
usually the severest critics it has. Al
though this is unfair to the publisher
we do not object to their reading the
paper and care less whether they like
it's conduct or not; but it is not right
that the man who does subscribe to it
should be constantly annoyed by Dor
rowers, or the fellow who walks in and
deliberately pockets the paper and ap-
Sropriates it to his own use. Had you

A GREAT

This being an off year in politics and
a widespread stringency prevailing
in money matters it was thought
that this would naturally keep
many earnest delegates in the
extreme ends of the State from
attending the State Convention of the
Peoples party which met here last
Wednesday. Hence we were hardly
prepared to see so many here. They
began to arrive on every train as early
as Monday and continued to come until
Wednesday morning. There were but
few real rich men, no dudes and NO
free pass delegates, such as usually
attend conventions. But a more intel,
ligent, better behaved or more earnest
body of citizens never met for a SINH,
lar purpose in the State.
They began work as soon as they ar,
rived. Caucuses were held and a com
mittee began to get the platform ready.
So far as we could see there was nc
machine cut and-dried work done.
Every delegate kept sober.
Capt. ". II. Kitchin made a speech
on Tuesday night to an immense crowd
in Metropolitan Hall. At II O'Clock
Wednesday morning the same hall was
filed with delegates and spectators
Chairman Butler called the meeting to
order and explained the object of the
convention. He then called Capt. J. B.
Lloyd, of Tarboro, to the chair as tenn.
porary chairman, and J. W. Denmark
was made temporary secretary. Capt
Lloyd made a graceful speech and nre
sided with ability until the committee
on permanent organization were ready
to report. While the committee wa:

THE TARIFF

The tariff situation has become de-
cidedly interesting, and we shall at
tempt to give a birds eye view Of it.
The Wilson bill passed the House with
wool, coal, iron and sugar on the free
list, but the Senate placed a duty of 40
cents a ton on coal and iron ore and 40
per cent. ad UalOrem duty on sugar
with a d%ifferential of o%ne-eighth cent
per pound on refined sugar, says the
Virginia San.
Both Houses then appointed con-
ferees to adjust the differences, but
they failed to come together and re-
ported back disagreement. Mr. Viii
son made the report in the House.
With bandaged head, typical of the
bursting condition of his party, he
urged the House to stand firm, and to
emphasize his position. He read a let
ter from the President, which urged
the same thing and denounced the Sen
ate for its betrayal of Democratic prin-
ciples. This letter is a curiosity in
many ways. It is dated July 2, but
was plainly written two weeks later to
meet the deadlock of last week. 1t
claims coal and iron as raw material to
be admitted free, but insists on a duty
on raw sugar a revenue measure. This
clearly shows that the sugar trust has
the Presidents ear 1t also shows that
the President is determined to force
free coal in the interest of his friend
Whitney's big Nova Scotia coal syndi-
cate. The letter fell like a thunder
clap. The cuckoos chirped approving
ly, but everybody else felt that the
President had made another brutal
blunder in endeavoring to coerce Iegis-
lation outside of his constitutional
functions. The Senate was up in arms
at once, and Senators Vest and German
denounced the President in unmeasured
terms for his .unwarrantabIe interior
ence, and charged that he had approved
the Senate amendments, and they were
sustained IN making the charges by all
the Democratic members of the finance
committee. Mr.. German gave away
all the party secrets for years back,
and his speech is intensely interesting.
1t looks like a regular smash-up, and
no one can tell what the outcome will
be. The probability is that there will
be no tariff legislation at this session,
and the Populists charge that the ques
ton is simply a sham battle" where
with Ito drown the outcries of a plum
dered people" is substantiated.

THE GoLDBUG.

A goldbug is the gormand of the ami
NAL kingdom. It is the most avaricious
little cuss extant. 1t is more blood
thirsty than the bedbug, more omnlv-
orous than the potatobug, and harder
to kill than the chinchbug. 1t com
hines all the devilish traits of all the
bugs in bugology, says an exchange
It has an Unsuitable NAV; it has as
many arms of greed and avarice as the
devi1fsh has tentacles. It has no eyes
to see the ruin, misery and devastation
it causes. It has no ears to catch the
wall that comes up from the army OF
unemployed all over the country for
bread. 1t has no heart-there may be
a knot of ganglion that sends the cold
blood creeping, oozing through its sys-
TENT can have no warm beating
heart. It knows no charity, feels no
love, and recognizes no brotherhood or
man nor fatherhood of God. It's creed
is, give, give, give. Its chief attribute
is supreme selfishness. 1t would dwarf
the world and make slaves of the chill,
dren of men. 1t would send the long,
bony fingers of want knocking upon
the door of every cottage home. 1t
would shut out the sunshine, murder
hope, strangle prosperity, blast pros
poets and deaden aspirations. In short,
the goldbug is the personal devil of
Holy Writ, that goeth up and down
the earth seeking whom it may de-
v0I1r.

Webster's Weekly Reidsville, N. G.

Webster's Weekly Reidsville, N. G.,
says:
ga citizen tells us that the supply of
honey this season is very plentiful.
Half a tub full was offered on the
streets the other day for 81 co."
We all know that bees are scarce in
North Carolina. If all the bees in
North Carolina were to work night and
day, they could not make enough honey
to supply the people of two counties
The scarcity of money is the sole cause
of the low price of honey. We admit
that supply and demand may and does
effect the prices of some things. But
ten times the amount of honey now in
North Carolina would not bring the
price of honey to 81 for a half a tub
full.

When the reform political movement
first started, all who took part in it
were put down as cranks and calamity
howlers. So much has been developed,
so many combinations unearthed of
late, that the strongest enemies to the
reform element are bowling themselves
hoarse. This proves that the reformers
have known what they are talking
about all the time that they can see far
ahead, and will eventually win the
fight.

EDITORIAL NOTES

A big Alliance gathering was held at
Tirzah in York county, S. O., on July
81 August 1.
Maj. Rufus S. Tucker, one of Raj
eigh's weaIthiest and best known citi
zens, died, of paralysis, Saturday
night.
The splits in the t~rustocratic party
grow larger and larger. It will require
the services of a Visiting statesman"
to straighten out things.
Speaking of Office seeking, we hardly
think it is fair to charge any of the
Democrass~with it. They just want to
ru9for fun and do not expect to be
elected.
Prof. John A. Butler, Harmony N.
c., wishes to know where Prof. E. W.
Scott is at this time, if living. If any
of our readers know, please write to
Prof. Butler.
It is said that a Pennsylvania girl
goes to sleep at once whenever she
steps into brilliant sunshine. When the
sunlight of truth is fully turned on the
old trustocratic parties the people will
put them to sleep.
We have received the first issue of
the Wilson RefOrmer, just started by
Mr.. S. P. Clark, a large merchant there
and owned by fifteen stockholders. 1t
is full of good matter and will staysin
the middle of the road.
The Arkansas Democrats did not ap
prove of the course of Congressman
Breckenridge, of that State and refused
to renominate him. Grover Sherman
then appointed him Minister to Russia.
The voice of the people was ignored.
In his zeal and determination to ap-
point a vast number of notary publics,
the Governor has, it seems, appointed
aminor in the person of Mr.. Rattliffe, of
Rockingham county. Rattliffe ismixed
up in the Williams-Settle election con-
test.
DR.. Edward Banks, late of Wake
county, is now at Jeptha, Ga. Writ
ing to have his paper changed from
Raleigh to that place, he informs us
that he is doing a good practice and is
well pleased, all of which is pleasant
news to us.
The Republican party has nc daily
paper in the State, and but few weeklies.
But the Charlotte Observer is generally
favored with whatever Chairman Eaves
is disposed to write in an official way
and this does away with the necessity
Of a personal organ for that cratic
citizen.
Everything points to a good meeting
of the State Alliance beginning on the
14th at Greensboro. We hope the
editor of every reform paper in thu
State will be on hand as there will b.
an important meeting and an oppor
tunity given those outside to Join tn,
Association.
There were several editors anon,
the visiting statesmen" who attendeC
the Peoples party convention las
week. We met editor Clark, of tn
Wilson RefOrmer, Babb, of the PEI
quimens Record, Brown, of the Oxtor
rcgornHer, the fat editor of the Fayette
vile Solid South, and others.
