Col. Skinner and Mr.. Blow Exchange
Blows

Wednesday evening as Col.
Harry Skinner stepped ont
into the passage in the court
house, having jus t come
down the steps from the
Peoples party convention,
Mr.. A. L. Blow, who it seems
Was in waiting for him, dealt
him o severe blow in theface,
jnst Under the eye. Col. Skin
ner struck back, inflicting a
wound on Mr.. Blows head,
when friends separated them.
Both men were very bloody,
though no serious injury re-
suited. The trnnble arose
during Col. Skinner's speech
an hour or two before. He
was crIticising the Democrat
lc method of carrying cleo
tiOns and alluded to the
chairman of the Democrat tic
rxerutive COMMITTEES. Mr..
Blow, the chairman, was
present and told Col. Skin
ner that no man could ac-
cnse him of fraud, especially
one who like him had been
the man who committed the
frauds. Col. Skinner replied
that what he ha6 done was
with the knowledge of Mr..
Blow, chairman of the execu.
tive committee for the Demo-
cratic party, and any man
who said otherwise was q
id liar. Thursday moth

Preaching Politicians.

1t may be doubted whether

terests as the preacher politi-
clans. They appeal to the
religious instinct, ard boldly
use it for purposes in no wise
religious. Sometimes bllndly
fanatical, sometimes igno-
rantly prejudiced, they al
ways sacrifice the peace OF
society, the welfare of their
own people, and the true
principles Of religion to ac-
complish their schemes. Such
men kindled the fires of civil
war, and maze impossible a
calm and peaceful solution
of the problem of slavery.
They wickedly urged the sla We
to massacre the women and
children of the South, they
denounce t h . Constitution
and the Union as a "cOven-
ant with HE'LL" they clapped
their hands, when crazy John

This is not the preaching Of
Jesus. These ara not thief
lowers OF the Master. No
church can prosper when
guided by such men. No
State is safe while they in
flame the public mind. They
cannot be trusted. Tor they
are blind leaders of the blind,
and their feet are not shod
with the preparation of the
gospel OF peace.
Let us have none Of this
business in North Carolina.
Let the preachers stay in the
pulpit, and leave to the peo-
pie the management Of civil
affairs. Let those who have

to their churches, and seek
to lead their people along

or else let them put aside

An UnknOwn Admirer.

About one year ago apret-
ty young lady attending the
Richmond High School re-
ceived a package from a lit
tie town in Virginia contain
ing a handsome and valua-
BILE diamond ring. Accom-
panying the package was a
note stating that the donor
was unknown to her and she
would, perhaps, never see
him, but he admired her.
The ring had engraved in it
the word ''Unknown." The
young lady graduated this
year, and recently she re-
ceived a package postmarked
from a little town in Mouth
Carolina. 1t contained ar
elegant gold watch and
chain. A note accompany
ing the present stated that
her unknown admirer knew
her birthday occurred about
the middle of June and that
the gift was intended as O
birthday present. The en-
amOred unknown took great
pains to keep the young lady
and her friends from discov-
ering his identity. He even
carved out che numbers in
the watch 80 the jeweler Who
sold it could not be traced.
Neither the young lady nor
any OF her friends have the
faintpst idea as to who the
unknown adrnirer can be,
they not knowing any one
in the towns from which the

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

From our Regular Correspondent.
Grover Cleveland's marvel.
GUS backb one was never
more credita5ly displayed
than in the crisis now upon
the country. He recognized
from the first that the first
and foremost duty of the
President Of + h @. United
States is at all times to main
tain the authority OF tie
Federal Government, which
was defied by the stopping ii
mnil facilities guaranteed to
the people by che National
Cover nment, and by the re-
fusal of rioters to obey the
judicial orders regularly is-
sued bv the United States
courts. and he did not hest
tate to order that the army
be used to uphold the au.
thority Ct the Government.
No one can regret more than
he that lnen should have
been killed by the militia,
but he is not blind to the
fact that it il better that
men who openly defy the
laws should be shot down
than chat red.handed anar-
chy should be in control even
for a single day of any por-
ton of oar country. He in
tends that the people shall
enjoy their mail facilities
and that the dignity and au-
thority 0f the United Sta tes
Courts, shall i've maintained
no matter what the cost
may he in money or blood,
and his entire cabinet and
All overwhelming majority
OF Congress, regardless Of
politns, are behind him.
1t is a matter for regret
that several Democratic Gov
prnors Of states and a few
Dem ocrats in Congress
sh0.fld have confused the
question Of states rights
with the patrioric policy
which the President has
adopted. 1t is d mistake.
There is-there can be-nO
connection between the two.
Nothing has been done by
he administration to inter
fere with the rights of any
state, and nothing will "
done. 1t is tor the preserva.
tion of the rights of the Ma
tional government that the
President has ordered that
the tied up Pacific railroad
shall be operated las pro-
vided for in their charters)
as military pos. roads, and
that United States troops be
used to see that the mails
are not Obstructed upon any
railroad and that. govern
nent property ls protected.
The government that does
not maintainits ownanthor-
ity cannot retain the respect
and allegiance OF its people.
The United States govern
ment claims no authority to
interfere with railroad or
any other strikers, but when
strikes are made the means
for the propagation of an
archy and the defiance of

There is no mistaking the
|sentiment which caused the
Democrats of the House to
vigorously applaud the plain
words OF Chairman Wilson
concerning the Senate amend
ments to the tariff bill, which
the Honse refused to concur
in and which are now being
considered by a Conference
cOmmitte OF IA members
seven Senators and seven Re-
representatives.. Mr.. Wilson
said concerning the work OF
the Ways and Means com
mittee of the House: 1.-THE
committee performed their
work honestly, deliberately
and to the best of their abil.
ity. The bill was based up
on the principle that, in
gathering revenues. taxes
should be levied upon finish
ed products and not upon
raw material, which was in
accordance with a great
fundamental Dem ocra tic
idea. The bill. comes back
from the Senate and does
not recognize that principle.
Only wool aud lumber ha We
come back undisturbed by the
Senate amendments" The
Conference committee held
It's first meeting today.
Daily .,eetings will be held
and progress will probably
from time be reported to the
ilouse and Senate, but it is
hardly possible that the com
mittee can conclude it's Ia
bors inside of two weeks,
|although there are not mole
than rs of the amendment
over which there will be any
serious difficulty in coming
to an agreement.

thority of leading Dem ocrat.
ic Senator's that there is no
foundation for the stories
sent out from Washington,
that Senator Hill was to be
read out of the party by a
Democratic caucus. There
ia a general feeling Of regret
among Democratic Senator's
that Mr.. Hill should have
voted against the tariff bill,
and a few OF them have said
harsh things Of him, but
there is no disposition to
force him out of the Demo-
cratic party. On the con-
trary, the disposition is to
treat him no that he will not
be disposed to take himself
out Of the party.

There was a wedding the other
night in Western town, and about
eleven o'clock a number of boys got
together to give the newly married
couple a serenade. They had horns
and tin pans and various other musi
cal instruments, and had just tuned
up when the groom came to the door
and said: Boys don't This ere
noise disturbs u.s." A clod of earth
hit him below the belt, and he retired
for a few minutes. When he reap
peared he announced: Nov, then.
THE ere has got to stop, or something
will happen"
What will it be?" inquired voice.
My wife'l come out and bounce
the crowd
He retired again as chunks of dirt
began to rattle around his ears, but in
short time the door was thrown
open, and the bride jumped out with
club IN her hand. She was all busi-
ness from the start, and more than one
serenader got sound whack before he
distanced her. In five minutes she
had scattered the crowd over ten acres,
and her husband stood in the door
and clapped his hands and shouted
go in Mary. l knew you fellers
would hear something drop if you
kept on"

You may rest upon this as an un
failing truth, that there neither is, nor
ever was, any person remarkably un-
grateful, who was not also insufferably
proud; nor any one proud who was not
equally ungrateful. Ingratitude over
looks all kindness, and this is because
pride makes it carry its head 80 high.
Ingratitude is too base to return a
kindness, and too proud to regard it;
much like the tops of mountains, bar
ren, indeed, but yet lofty; they pro
duce nothing, they yield nothing, they
feed nobody. they clothe nobody, yet
are high and stately, and look down
upon all the world about them. It
was ingratitude which put the poniard
into Brutus's hand, but it was the want
of compassion which thrust it into
Caesars heart Friendship consists
properly in mutual offices, and gen
erous strife in alternate acts of kind
ness. But he who does a kindness to
an ungrateful person, sets his seal tc
a flint, and sows his seed upon the
sands; upon the former he makes nc
impression. and from the latter finds
no production.

THE HIGHEST AWARD.
ROYAL BAKING POWDER HAS ALL THE HON
ORS-IN STRENGTH AND VALUE 20
PER CENT. AYOyE ITS NEAREST

PER CENT. AYOYE ITS NEAREST
COMPETITOR.
The Royal Baking Powder has the
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles Of its class
greatest strength, purest ingredients,
most perfectly combined wherever
exhibited in competition with others.
In the exhibitions Of former years, at
the Centennial, at Parie, Uienna and
at the various State and Industrial
fairs, where it has been exhibited,
judges have invariably awarded the
Royal Baking Powder the highest
honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the ex
aminations for the baking powder
awards were made by the experts of
the chemical division of the Agricul
tural Department at Washington. The
official report of the tests of the bak
ing powders which were made by this
department for the specific purpose
of ascertaining which was the best,
and which has been made public,
shows the leavening strength of the
Royal to be 160 cubic inches of car
bonlc gas per ounce OF powder. OF
the cream of tartar baking powders
exhibited at the Fair. the next high
est in strength thus tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average
of Ill. The Royal therefore was
found of 20 per cent. greater leaven-
ing strength than its nearest competi
tor, and A per cent. above the average
of all the other tests. Its superiority
in other respects, however, in the
quality of the food it makes as to fine
ness, delicacy and wholesomeness,
could not be measured by figures.
1t is these high qualities, known and
appreciated by the women Of the coun-
try for so many years, that have caused
the sales of the Royal Baking Pow
der, as shown by statistics, to exceed
the sales of all other baking powders
combined.
