NO DISCIPLINE,

News from Washington shows sad
want of Democratic discipline.
We have heretofore had occasion to
allude to this, and we revert to it
because of the mischief it is doing.
The President is not blameless in
the matter, but Congress cannot escape
its responsibility.
When the President called Judge
Gresham to the Cabinet he showed
lamentable disregard of the sentiments
of his party, and since that time party
lines have been very loose at Wash
ington.
The retention of Republicans in
Office has had disastrous effect, and
it is little wonder that members of
Congress refuse to recognize party
obligations that are disregarded by the
Administration.
There is need, very great need, Of
wholesome party discipline. The
President is wise and patriotic but he
is citizen, and it is the highest duty
of the citizen to subordinate his
individual opinions to the will of the
people. He is Democrat, and to be
a Democrat is to yield obedience to
the law of the party as decided in its
high court of appeal, the National
Convention of the Democratic party.
1t is a sublime spectacle when a
master spirit throws himself in the
breach to resist the impetuous assault
Of the mob and breast the storm of
popular opinion, but when, in a Re-
public, the enlightened masses, after
years of patient investigation, have
reached a conclusion and chosen
agents for the execution of their will,
it is little short of moral treason for
those agents to go counter to their
wishes and make shipwreck of their
hopes.
The President and the Congress
were elected upon clearly defined
principles and conditions. The Chi
cago platform was not constructed on
shifting sands. 1t stands on the solid
rock of Democracy, and neither Con-
gress nor the President has a right to
ignore a single line of the sacred
instrument.
1t is sad condition of affairs when
a Democrat becomes an obstructionist
in Democratic Administration.
The ocean is insignificant in its
separate drops, but when it pillows
are blended navies are stranded, and
man, majectic and imperious man, is
as a straw in the whirlwnd. So it is
with parties. In their seperate COM
ponent parts they are powerless, but
in their united strength they are
omnipotent.-New Berne Journal

Town and Country.

When the coolest days of the winter are
upon us, where do people freeze to death?
In town, as a rule; hardly ever in the
country.
When hard times pinch the nation,
where do people beg in vain for work,
and sleep in Railways and churches and
even seek shelter in jail? In town, as q
matter of course, and notin the country.
When famine stalks abroad, where are
it's victims? In town, and never in the
country.
When Bradstreet last week reported
can almost unexampled number idle and
suffering," where were they? In town,
as might have been expected; such re-
ports never come from the country.
When people are desperate and discon-
tented, where do they defy the law and
attack society? In town, al ways; in the
country, never.
There are hundreds of thousands of
people in the United States now out Of
work or barely eking out an existence,
who should study these pointers and
draw profitable lesson from them. For
years to come it may be regarded as a
settled fact that the town is overcrowd-
ed. But in the country the man whose
labor is his only capital can get steady
work and make enough to provide him
and his family with shelter, food, cloth
ing and fuel This is more than hosts of
toilers can get when they stick to the
town.
The farmers in the country are far
from enjoying their old time prosperity,
but they can at least hold their own
With hard work, economy and diversi-
fed crops they can live and keep the
sheriff at safe distance, and have a
little cash in their pockets. Asa general
thing the country has stood the recent
hard times much better than the towns
The man who is out of job these days
with nothing in sight, makes a great
mistake if he turns his back on the coun-
try and expects to make his living in
town. He will find ten applicants for
every place, and when matters come to
the worst he will find that the town is
a cold-hearted, strictly business place,
where the moneyless man has few, if any,
friends.
These bitter truths will come home to
thousands of unfOrtunates before the
winter is over, but it is not too late for
many to choose the path OF safety-the
| road leading to the country There is
room there and living for millions.
There productive industry will swell our
commerce, and when the town begins to
grow and prosper with the country
around it the labor market will change
its conditions, and the tide will drift
downward again.
When times are hard, try the country
| when business and industry are boom.
ing, try the town.-Atlanta Constitution

The Children all Cry for 1t.

Castoria is truly marvellous thing for
children. Doctors prescribe it, medical
journals recommend it, and more than a
million mothers are using it in place of
paregoric, Bateman's drops, so-called
soothing syrups, and other narcotic and
Supplying remedies. Castoria is the
quickest thing to regulate the stomach
and bowels and give healthy sleep the
world has ever seen. 1t is pleasant to
the taste and absolutely harmless. 1t
relieves constipation, quiets pain, cures
diarrhpa and wind collie, allays feverish-
ness, soothes the child and gives it re-
freshing and natural sleep. Castoria is
the children's panacea-the mothers
friend.
Castoria is put up in one size bottles
only. 1t is not sold in bulk. Don't al
low any one to sell you anything else on
the plea or promise that it is '.just as
good and twill answer every purpose"

A VIRGINIA WEDDING AND THE
REPORT THEREOF.

The dispatches have told of the
marriage of Senator Faulkner, of West
Virginia, and Miss Virginia Whiting,
of Hampton, Va, On the grid. The
Richmond Times had special OF near
column and three quarters about the
event, and along toward the end of it
We find the following:
Never before perhaps has a bride left
this rural town with such trousseau as
that which filed the endless number of
trunks of Miss Whiting. Before they
we're finally locked and strapped, the
eyes of Miss Writings girl friends feasted
on underwear, tilmy and delicate, fit for
princess of the realm, and gowns such
as never saw the light in Hampton
ception gowns, and delcately tinted
creations for full dress. The wedding
costume alone, with it's appurtenances
and laces, cost 81 900. Ali these details
were designed by the fair young girl who
is about to be launched into the whirl OF
Washington society.
Now what ought to be done about a
thing like that? The natural reply is
that the reporter should have his neck
broken, and that is perhaps true. But
there is still another view of the ques-
ton. The reporter OF a marriage
desires to be agreeable, and seeks to
give the people he is writing about
what they want Shouldn't they, then,
share with him the responsibility for
the execrable taste which he often
exhibits? Does anybody suppose, for
instance, that the "girl friends, and
through them the newspapers, and
through them the public, would have
ever had glance at the interior Of
Miss Writings trunks "before they
we're finally locked and strapped" il
Miss Whiting had not been agreeable
Doesn't everybody know that somebody
| inspired the reporter TO write what
sounds like dry goods advertisement
about underwear, filmy and delicate
fit tor a princess of the realm,' about
delicately tinted Creations" anc
all that? And how did the Jenkin:
know that the wedding costume
alone" cost $1,000 unless somebody
gave it away?
Oh, yes. Swear at the reporter fol
his wretched taste, but do not forge
that the thing that makes you sick a
the stomach tickles somebody else te
death.
Now let's take glance at the groom
before the brides trunks were " finally
locked and strapped:'
In spite of the full-dress rehearsal OF
Tuesday evening, at st. Johns church
Senator Faulkner studied the marriage
service assduously on his way to Hamp
ton, just before the wedding. He looked
very young and handsome, and re
marked that he might feel nervous if III
were not going to marry just the girl h
wanted.
This "young" looking bridegroom
is 46 years old and was widowe
with five children. Then imagin
such a "remark" as is put in hi
mouth, falling from the lips of a mai
of his age and sense, and United
States Senator! The reporter must b
taxed with the full responsibility 70
this particular piece of foolery, and ii
view of it we withdraw any suggestion
that his life might be spared.- Char

SHEEP RAISING IN NORTH CARO-
LIMA.

The Wilmington Sta, mentions an
instance of profitable wool growing in
North Carolina, and what one man
can do why may not others 2 1ntelli-
gent application and proper attention
TO the business are the main essential
requisites of success. Nature has done
her part for the State. Climate and
soil are favorable and man is only
required TO do his part. The Star
says:
Mai. R. S. Tucker, of Raleigh, who
has given attention to the raising OF
fine sheep, sent exhibits of wool to the
Worlds Fair, and had the satisfaction
of being awarded a gold medal as a
testimonial to their superiority, and
this was where the exhibits had to
compete with wool grown in a number
of our own States and in other
countries. Maj. fuckers success is
due to the fact that he has selected
and raised his hoCks with care, and
with view to their superiority as fine
and large wool producers, but he has
| done nothing that any other man
who takes interest in that industry
could not no. 1t is as easy to have
superior as inferior sheep, and while
they may cost something more in the
start they pay better and are really
cheaper in the end. We have re-
peatedly said that, take it all in all,
there is no country in the world better
adapted to sheep culture than the
Piedmont section of the South and it
could be easily shown that there is no
industry of the farm which, consider
ing the capital invested, and the labor
required would give the same profit,
with the exception, perhaps, Of early
fruits of choice varieties, which get
into market when people are SO hungry
for them that they are willing to pay
almost any price. There is but one
thing in the way of profitable sheep
culture in North Carolina, and that is
the too numerous dog, but with con-
cert of action among sheep raisers that
nuisance could soon be abated.

Few questions are of more import
ance in North Carolina than the
matter of good roads. They are alike
indispensable to farmers and towns
people. Transportation by wagon,
however, costs fifty times that by rail,
and in some States-Ohio, for instance
it is seriously proposed that rails
should be laid on highways in
preference to improving the whole
roadway for wagons. This idea
would not be so practicable for North
Carolina as for State like Ohio, but
if we want to keep abreast Of other
States we must see what they are
doing.-Winston Sentinel.

The Winston papers say the COM
missioners of Forsyth have decided
that Peter De Graft, convicted of the
murder of Ellen Smith, is to publicly
hang. We can account for such
action only upon the ground OF
economy. Rather than go to the
expense necessary for a private
execution the commissioners propose
to crafty morbid curiosity and follow
a mos.vicious precedent by presenting
the sickning and deplorable spectacle
of a public hanging. This is a sad
commentary upon the good morals
and sense of decency of the Forsyth
Commissioners in this ADVANCED STAGE
of civilization.
