This production was given in a man
ncr that testiies silently but warmly to
the thoroughress OF the instruction
given the young people at St. Joseph's
school.
The kazoo bands performance was
the next feature and it completely cap
tivated the audience. This closed the
programme OF exercises, and then
Bishop Donahue, who was a pleased
auditor Of tho exercises, arose and
made the address OF the evening to the
scholars. In the course OF his.talk, he
remarked on the high grade OF the
Cathedral parish schools and promised
in the near future, improvements and
engagements of the Wheeling schools.
In his conclusion he addressed
himself to the youngsters, and his
words had an extremely happy effect
on the boys and girls.

Of tho features OF the evening.
Tho first feature OF the programme OF
the exercises OF the evening was the I'D
dress OF welcome by Harry Corcoran,
and this young gentleman did himself
and his instructors a heapin2 measure
Of credit. His talk made the guests OF
the evening feel entirely at heme and
in pleasant frame Of mind.
The singing OF Sailing by the large
boys OF the school was the next number
apd it was received by the audience
with great and apparent favor.
The recitation, Our Heroes" was by
Master Alfred Poe, and was fully up 10
the standard already set by the young
scholars OF this well known institution
OF instruction.
The calidthenic march by tho boys OF
the school was next given, and the pre-
cuion with which the various move

fciency which the instruction given at
the school has impaired.
The>coucert recitation, Find q Way

Charles Gribben, Vincent Roth, Frank
Devalle, William Glenn, Edward Wig

HON. R BUTLER.

The National Waterman of the 9th
inst. gives the following sketch of Hon.
Marion Butler of our State:
Marion Butler, President of the Ma
tional Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, was born in Sampson
county, N. c., May 90, 1868. His
grandfather, James Butler, settled in
Sampson county in 1851, and was a
soldier in the Revolutionary war. One
hundred years later his father, Wiley
Butler, entered the Confederate army,
and at the close of the four years
struggle, Marion was a child in his
mothers arms. He was raised on his
fathers farm, eleven miles from the
county seat, and was prepared for col.
lege by his mother, and at Salem High
School. neighboring county academy.
He graduated from the University OF
North Carolina in 1885, when he took
the course In law, and would have
entered the legal profession, but at this
time his father died, and he, being the
Oldest son upon whom the family was
dependent, deemed it his duty to take
charge of the farm. In order to help
educate his brothers and sisters, he
soon accepted the principalship of the
neighboring academy, where he him.
self had been a pupil. In 1883 the ALI
ance was organized in Sampson county,
and Mr.. Butler was made County Presi

press he bought out the Clinton CGu

county weekly in the State and has

THE LOTTERY FRAUD,

For a wonder, Congress passed a law
in 1890 forbidding the carrying of mail
to or from the louisiana Lottery Com
pany. But the agents of the lottery
continued to sell tickets and the ex-
press companies began to do the carry
ing act for the company.
During the past four years the lot.
terry men worked all kinds of schemes
to get their charter extended bv the
State of Louisiana. They tried to elect

ill-gotten gains freely to that end. But
every effort failed. The original char,

cHAUNCEY DOESN'T DENY 1T.

Chauncey M. Depew, of New York,
President of the New York Central
Railroad Company, is not willing to
deny that he is a candidate for the
Presidency of the United States. He
intimates that he will be a candidate
on the Republican ticket.
Of course that is thrown out as a
feeler. If he should develop strength
rapidly, plutocracy would boom him.
New York will claim the right to put
a New York man on the Republican
ticket this time instead of the Demo
Gratis. The Democrats are going to
form a skirmish line and nominate
some Western man (goldbug) and plu
tocracy doesn't care a continental
which is elected. A goldbug Western
Democrat and a Republican goldbug
Eastern man are the same thing. 1t is

AN HONEST

Two years ago we held that the
Democratic platform, adopted at Chi
cago, was a many sided offair that
might mean a great deal or mean
nothing just as the reader thereof felt
about it. Many things have occurred
toshow that we were right. The biggest
Democrats in the country admit that
they can't solve the problem now,
though they knew all about it in 1892.
The Charlotte Observer of Saturday
says:
Noticing that Senator Jarvis de-
clares himself "a platform man. with
all that implies" it occurs to us
again that there are three classes of
Democrats, holding three different sets
of views, as to the proper lnterpreta-
ton of the financial plank of the plat.

those who stand with him: () the

it is on the platform and is hv-blowino
the other two for being off it. 1t would
be a great thing if this financial miami

THE AMERICAN HOUSE oFLoRD:

A Washington Special to the New
York San says:
This is q great day for the Populist
party in the Senate. They captured
the Senate from the Democrats and
Republicans, and successfully held it
for two hours. The revolution came
about in this way: After Senator Hale
concluded his tariff speech, about half
past 8 o'clock, Senator PETER took the
floor. Soon afterwards Vice. President
Stevenson called Senator Allen, Popu-
list, to the chair, and disappeared in
the Democratic cloak room. One by
one the Democratic and Republican
Senators leaked out of the chamber,
until only the three Populists we're
present. Senator Kyle moved over
from the Democratic side and took a
seat near Senator PETER, and the Popu
list party was in absolute control of
the Senate. The attendace in the gal
leries was as slim as if eulogies were
being delivered. The lack of interest
did not affect Senator PETER, however,
who kept on talking until Senator
Quay wandered into the chamber,
took in the situation, and moved a
call of the Senate"
Nice way for the great United States
Senate to act. Only three Senators in
their places, and they Populists. 1t is
a credit to the party that the three
Senators of that party were in their
places and trying to carry on business
Indeed, since the death of Senator
Vance, the only timber there worth
the powder it would take to blow the
capitol up, are the three Populist Sena-
tors and about a dozen Populist Con
gressmen. We think the honest men
of all parties will bear us out in this.

PLUTocRACY oUTwIrTED.

Some days ago it was announced that
forty one unemployed men, supposed
to be a part of Coxey's army, had been
arrested near Washington City. The
police didn't wait for them to get to the
city, bat met them outside and con-
Quoted them to prison. That was on
Saturday. The men we're searched for
arms and dynamite bombs. Here is
what was found: One dollar and fifty
two cents IN cash and two raZors. But
it would not do to release them. They
were locked up on the charge of vag
rancy. Monday morning came and
they were hustled before a judge. The
authorities were congratulating them
selves on how easy they would dispose
of the Migrants" But 10 and be-
hold Congressman Hudson, of Kansas,
had come to the rescue and offered his
services to the prisoners. Two thou
sand Washington citizens crowded the
court room and were indignant. Con-
gresham Hudson told the plutocratic
on the vagrant act, for they were ar
rested outside the city limits and
brought to the city, therefore not to
blame for being there. The authorities
we're told by MI. Hudson and Mr.. Lips
comb, a Washington lawyer, that they
would carry the case to a higher court
if the men were not released at once
This was done and the various unions
of the city took care of the men. 1t is
said that the working men of Wash
ington will not allow any further arrests
without cause.

DUTY VS. AMBITION.

Speaker Crisp is getting the usual
broken doses of taffy for refusing the
appointment to the Senate. The papers
say he did not allow his ambition to
overtop his duty to the party.
Speaker Crisp issmart. He is getting
$4,000 per annum as Speaker of the
House and he would only get SIS, 900 as
Senator. The Speaker of the House
occupies a more responsible and envi-
able position than any Senator. Hence
MI. Crisp doesn't deserve any praise
for pursuing the course he did.

We frequently receive important let
tiers with no signature and no way of
determining from whom they came,
and we have received many with no
postomce mentioned in them. Some
people have roundly and numerically
abused us all over this community, be-
cause we did not give them credit for
money sent, when the fault was their
own; theY~had either failed to sign
their name to the letter sent, n to give
the name of the Office at. which their
mail is received. We must know who
sends money, and where from, before
we can properly credit it. Please drop
us a card giving date and amount, and
for what and from where sent, if your

The peach borer is a great pest,
especially throughout the Northern
States. An effectual preventive is a
wrapping of tar paper which extends
8 or 10 inches above the soil and two
inches below it, This will protect the
trees if put on when the b0rers are not
in the tree; but if they are already
present, they will go on with their

since given it q national reputation.
From that day the Alliance movement
has nowhere in the State been stronger
than in Sampson and the adjoining
counties. In 1890 he was elected to
the State Senate, and under his leader
ship legislation was enacted controlling
the railways. In 1891 he was elected
President of the State Alliance of
North Carolina In succession to Elias
Carr, the present Governor of the
State. In 1892 he was reelected by
reclamation. He presided over the
first State convention of the Peoples
party, and in the subsequent campaign
made one of the hardest fights against
tremendous odds ever seen in North
Carolina. At the Memphis meeting of
the National Alliance in 1892, he was
elected Vice President on the first bal
lot, and at Topeka, last February, he
was elected President. MI. Butler is
an out-and-out Populist, a splendid
speaker and a forcible writer. He is
the idol of the reform movement in his
State and, no doubt, will come to the
Senate, in 8 the Populists obtain
control of the legislature. He has the
courage Of a lion and has proven it on
more than one occasion. No man in
the South stands higher than he does
among the retormers of the country,
and zone who enjoy their respect and
confidence to agreater degree. Brother
Buffers paper, the Caucasian, is a
power for good, and it's work is being
appreciated. We hope he will meet
the reward he deserves, and may live
to participate in the happier conditions
he has been so ably ~contesting for.

The people of the United States owe
to the banks, money lenders and CAPT
talist of England the vast and incom-
prehensible sum of thirty thousand
millions of dollars.
This vast debt is evidenced by rail
road bonds, county and State bonds
and land mortgages, and they have all
been piled up within the past thirty
years. The interest on this debt amounts
to the enormous sum of two billions of
dollars. This vast sum must be paid
in gold or interest bearing bonds. II
will take thirty years production of
our gold mines to pay n years in
terest, and all the coined gold in the
country would not pay four months
interest. 1t Nould take all the wheat,
cotton, corn, oats, hay, gold and silver
produced in the United States a year
to pay this interest. John Bull de
mands his interest in gold; Rothschild
demands his pound of flesh according
to contract.-FGrneer's Journal.

The Grand Jury in Henrico county,

several of the prominent citizens of
Smithers' Store precinct, near Rich
mond, where such open and immense
election frauds were perpetrated Last
November. William Wilson, James
Holleran and B. +. Ashby, Judges;
William P. Woodson and L. W. Brauer,
Clerks. The Judge issued bench war
rants and all were arrested and bound
over to court in the sum of $500 each.
The maximum fine for their offences in
that State is $500. New York State
has just sent a large number of promi-
nent Democrats to the penitentiary for
terms ranging from six years down for
similar crimes, and a number Of other
citizens have left the State fearing ar
rest. We hope all this will have a
good effect on certain people in North
Carolina who ought to be wearing

Grain, pea and bean weevils may be
easily destroyed by the vapors of bisul-
phide of carbon, if the grain or seeds
are placed in a tight bin, a small guam
tity of the liquid poured on and then
covered with blankets. The vapors
being heavier than air will settle
through the mass and kill the weevils
contained therein. This is a dangerous
poison to man and very infammable.
Use excessive care in handling.

If your clover has been killed out,
SOW peas and oats for feeding in July
and August. There is difference in
opinion about the proportions, some
sowing two bushels each of oats and
peas, some one bushel of peas to two of
oats, and some a half bushel of peas to
one and a half of oats.
