THOUGHTS.

Every time 1 pay a debt I am doing
right, and helping to put money in
circulation.
Ali our actions take their hues from
the complexion of the heart, as land
scapes their variety from light.
What is experienced Apoor little hut
constructed from the ruins of the
palace of gold called our illusions.
1t is well to be sanguine and full Of
anticipation; we are the better off for
our hopes, even if they are never
realized,

kitchen while I was trying to do up my
homework or argue doctrinal questions
while the children licked all the dress
ing off dollars worth of new fly paper.
I'd rather have Sylvester with his
rashness and repentance, than a liter
airy man who has to go out among the
neighbors to get a fresh mess of full
some praise every little while in order
to sustain life.
The most unhappy wife I ever knew
married a genius. 1t was the wedding
OF a sweet little duckling to a swooping
eaglet. While he was an eaglet he and
the duckling hunted grasshoppers TO-
gether, but one day the young eagle
saw with his keen and flashing eye a
humming bird on the corner of golden
cloud, and he scared away. He was
not at home for supper, and even after
that he turned up his Roman nose at
the tame life of the duck let. He began
to notice the width of her yellow feet
and to compare her parenthetical legs
with the slender ankles of the thrush,
and the gentle call of his domestic wife
grated harshly on his ears after he had
been soaring around in the thin air for
a week listening to the lark and living
on chamois chops among the snowy
mantled Alps, while his plumage was
patted with applause. BILL NYE.

DIR. LASH OUT WEST.

A letter received from DR.. Lash, who
with his family is travelling out West,
while not written for publication, con
tains some interesting items, which we
take the liberty of using.
His letter is dated from Spokane,
Washington, where he met Pat Win
ston, known throughout North Caro-
lima. The DR.. says Pat loves North
Carolina and everybody in the State,
and has shown them every attention.
Wheat, he says, sells there for II
cents a bushel, costing 80 cents to
raise it.
-Four hundred and seventy five
horses sold here in the street this week
for so cents each. You can buy them
any time for So to $40. This is a silver
mining sec lion, but the industry is
very fat just now. If you want to
get rich % come West.
This town has five churches and
2O4 bar-rooms, each paying a license Of
$500 a year. They are allowed To use
screens and keep open all night if they
want to" bars, not churches.
Wehopet to hear further from the Doc
tor, but hope to e him back in a
month or more.-GreensbOrO Record.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties Of perfect lax
ative; effectually cleansing the system
dispelling colds, headaches and feyers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

No my friends of more money, give
US more opportunity. Not artificial OPP
portunity, not opportunity created by
government power, but the natural OPP
portunities, those they are entitled to
by inherent right. Restore natural
right to men; the right to labor with
that material out of which all wealth
must come and which belongs to no
man, but to all men. And when you
have done this; when you have re-
turned to the true democratic princi-
pies of equal rights to all and Exclusive

when you have giveN the opportunity
to labor and they labor and produce

financial system they cannot utilize that
wealth, cannot exchange their COM
modities for those they need, then you
may propose your financial reme-
dies; and they will merit respectful at
tention. But first catch the hare before
you cook it. II then you have con-
gress which perverssly ignores the ia

MI. Rush disagreed with Mr.. Wood
ON the question of volume Of money.
He claimed that the credit business of
this country makes the user of money
pay interest to the fellow who has the

was $50 per capita. IL takes more
wheat today to pay off the national
debt than it would have taken when
the debt was made; all due to the con-
traction OF currency.
Mr.. Conkling-If contraction of cur
rency Is the cause Of American panics,
why have they panic in Australia
when there was no contraction Of cur
rency?
There would be nothing in the world
which would thrive like land speeula-
tien if you gave the country much cheap
money. Ii the government would re-
ceive nothing but greenbacka for taxes,
greenbacks would be the only legal
money; gold and silver would both be
discounted.

TO-DAY THE LABOR troubles in more than twenty states amount almost to an industrial revolution, and the calling out of armed posses. militia and federal troops indicates the serious and wide spread nature of the disturbance.
 The situation does not call for wild talk. The calamity shouter does more harm than good. It is useless to get excited over the evils that surround us unless we at the same time find the remedy and have the honesty and cour- age to apply it. We got along very well when this was government of the people, but 6 government by the sugar trcst, the whisky trust and the goldbug trust for the benefit of those trusts is failure. We must go back to the cardinal principles and the simple methods of Republicsnism.

THERE ARE doubtless hot headed men Tn the labor unions who would adyo- cate opposing the authority of the United States government in order to carry their point, but such men are heavily in the minority, le: us hope. The workingmen of the country are patriots at heart, and they have no in- tention of becoming rebels against the government. The old flag Is dearer to them than the success of any organized class movement. The orders of the United States courts will be generally respected.
