Real Merit

Is the characteristic of Hood g Sarsapa. I.
rilla, and it is manifested every day in
the remarkable cures this medicine ac-
complishes. Druggists say: When we
sell a bottle of Hoods Sarsaparilla to
new customer we are sure to see him
back in a few weeks after more,-prov-
ing that the good results from trial
bottle warrant continuing it's use. This
positive merit Hoods Sarsaparila pos
sesses by virtue of the Peculiar Combi-
nation. Proportion and Process used in
its preparation, and by which all the
remedial value of the ingredients used
is retained. Hoods Sarsaparilla is thus
peculiar to itself and absolutely un-
equalled in its power as blood puri-
fer, and as tonic for building up the
weak and weary, and giving nerve
strength.

Organize far Victory.

Let the Democrats in North
Carolina begin to organize for the
battle ahead. 1t they are to win
this year they must lock sbiels and
keep step to the music of harmony
nnd sound principles. Although it
is what is called an ''off year." it
is an important year for N orth
Carolins. In our judgment, re-
membering the bitter pact, it is of
more importance to all North Caro-
lipiaps, whether natives or BY
adoption, to have control Of the
State in all OF it's departments,
than to have control of the Press
idential Chair and all that con-
cerns it. North Carolina may get
along we'll and even be prosperous
under vicious rule in the Execu-
tive Department, as has been the
case when the President might
happen to be a Harrison, but it
cannot possibly prosper with bad
laws at home and ravening crowd
OF officials in the chief offices of
the State.
1t is all important then that the
Democracy should have control in
North Carolina-that they shall
control the legislature, The Exc
cutive Chair, the other State Of
nces, and the Judiciary, and in the
countries. We believe that a fair
public economy prevails take it
through the State. Where there
may be abuses here and there. in
the main the white officials aim to
be frugal and upright.
Our esteemed contemporary,
the Raleigh Neaos Observer Giro
nicle. says in a recent issae:
"We are to nominate county of
ficers, members of Congress, j Judges
and a state Treasurer, and the
forces are to be marshalled and led
into the field against the opposi-
ton. Heret, fore the State Con.
vention has generally been held in
Juue, and this has led to early
county conventions, We do not
think it well to be so early this
year Our voice would be
for late convention, and Cor q
very active campaign following
swiftly on its heels"
We think that opinion sound
and that late meeting is prefer,
able to an early one. Thorough
organizatiou-if that be possible
in North Carolina-and an active
canvass when it begins, will be
essential, we think. If the Demo,

Of human grief and trial.

There's lots more cakes than fly;
There's ten square deals to every fake,
Ten miles to every sigh.
There's sneaks, but lots of good men too
There's hoardin' but there's givin',

The patent proof umbrella

Don't grudge, but be forgivin',

THE STORY OF LIFE,
John G. SAKE.

Say, what IS life? lis to be born;
A hapless babe. to greet the light
With a sharp wall, as if the morn
Foretold cloudy noon and might;
To weep, to sleep and weep again,
With sunny smiles between and them
And then apace the infant grows
To be laughing, sprightly boy,
Happy, despite his little woes,
Were he but conscious of his JOY;
To be. in short, from two to ten;
A merry, moody child; and there
And thcn, in coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the Decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief all agog;
A truant oft by field and fen
To capture butterflies, and then9
And then, increased in strength and sizs
To be, anon, you h full grown; 81
A hero in his mother eyes,
A yourg Apollo in his own;
To initiate the ways of men
In fashionable sins, and hen?
And then. at last, to be man,
To fall in love; to WOO and wed;
With soothing brain to scheme and plar
To gather gold, or toll for bread;
To sue for fame with tongue or pen.
And gain or lose the prize; and then2
And then in gray and wrinkled eld
To mourn the speed of life's decline
To praise the scenes his youth beheld
And dwell in memory of Lang-Syne
Tc dream awhile with darkened ken,
Then drop into his grave, and then2

A VICIOUS ATTACK.

New YORK, Feb. 22-What was
intended to be a celebration tos
night of Washingtou's birthday on
an elaborated scale had been
planned by the New York South

ELooUENCE AND PATRIOTISM,

We give most of our editorial
page this morning to the conclud-
ing paragraphs of Senator Daniels
great speech on the Hawaiian
question, in which he sweeps the
keys OF history with master hand
and eloquent touch, bringing out
the strong points of political ethics
from Republican standpoint and
making the spirit of patriotism
assert itself in unconcealed and just
admiration of the clear brain, pae
riotic nerve and sturdy purpose to
do the right tina. characterize
President Cleveland.
Senator Daniel said in conclu-
sion:
The questions arising about
Hawaii are those of race, Of CONS
merce, of international necessities
and am mbitions, of forms of governs
ment. But that of race is the pre-
dominant and paramount question
which must and will work its way
above all laws and above all logic.
It is the whole story which Esop
knew in the olden time as we'll as
we know now, that the clay pot
and the iron pot in the stream can
only preserve their autonomy by
mot jostling against each other.
The two thousand Americans in
the islands constitute, with their
German and their English breth.
rem, the leaven of modern energy
and progress, which will inevitably,
in time, leaven the whole lot with
the prepotency of character and
blood which always operates the
same way under like conditions.
They have all the spring, knowl-
edge, adaptability, progressiveness,
and resiliency of the young race
which, rising in the British Isles,
has swept over one great ocean and
one great continent, and they are
now the vanguard who have ad.
| ventured in the waters of the vests
ern ocean and appeared upon a
new scene of action.
Ihave nothing but sympathy for
the body of our American brethren
in those Southern islands. Blood
is thicker than water, and the logic
Of instinct is higher than that
which was ever written or con be
written in book. I do not forget
that my blood and theirs is one,
Were I there amongst them !
would be with them aud of them.
And I can not rebuke or blame
them that they have sought by
every accessible means to break
the fetters of ancient barLaric
power, and merge out of the chrysr
alfs into TIE institutions which theil
race nodded, and which they cam
not be at home without.

Miners MASS MEETING.
TIE STRIKERS ASSEMBLE TO DISCUSS TIE
SITUATION
1t Trades Assembly Hall - Report Of Delegate
Jare Mead-Achon of Miners in Confer
encs Endorsed Industrial Notes.

The miners of the Panhandle district
assembled in mass meeting at Trades
Assembly hall yesterday afternoon, to
hear the report of President Jere Mead,
who attended the recent conference at
Cleveland, O. Strikers were present
from MoundsviIe, Glendale, Elm
Grove, Benwood, and number from
Belmont county.
Mr.. Mead gave a verbal report OF the
proceedings Of the Cleveland conference
between operators and miners. He
stated that the representatives OF the
Z. NJ. w. Of 4. stood as one man for the
demands which they made. He blamed
the Pittsburg river operators, and sew
eral Illinois operators for the failure to
come to an amicable agreement. After
the conference, he said the miners
met, and enthusiastically resolved
to stand firm in their
demand for what they consider fair
wages. In Mr.. Mead's opinion, the mi
ner'S cause becomes more hopeful as
the stock of coal becomes smaller, and
be feels confident of ultimate success.
There was bitter feeling at the meet
ing against the West Virginia operators
and miners, who are still working.
When Mr.. Mead concluded, several
other addresses were made, and resolu-
lions were adopted approving bis course,
and endorsing the action OF the miners
delegates at the Cleveland conference.
The movement among Ohio and Penn
svlvania miners, 10 march in body to
Fairmont, and endeavOr by moral per-
suasion 10 induce the miners in that
field TO join the army Of strikers, was
freely discussed in the meeting, aId
there was q division OF sentiment as -
the wisdom Of the proposed movement
Prominent miners stated after the
meeting, however, that it is very prob
able that the project will assume tan
gible shape, and that Wheeling Will be
represented by large number OF men
in the body OF strikers who will visit the
Marion county region.
1t was stated that report was cir
culated in Benwood, without any foun-
dation in fact, that the employees OF q
mine in that city had secured permits
sion from the officials OF the L. M. W.
Of A., and Ohio Valley Trades Assem-
bly,, to work on contract to supply the
Benwood ferryboat with coal.
A committee OF Martins Ferry miners
was present at the meeting and extend
ed an invitation to all present TO attend
A mass meeting OF miners TO be held In
that city tomorrow afternoon.
A number of miners was seen by a
REGISTER reporter after the meeting
Yesterday afternoon, and all took a
hopeful view OF the situation, express
ing determination to remain out until
operators accede To their demands.
There were rumOrs that the miners at
Elm Grove were weakening, and that a
number of them would return to work
Yesterday morning. These reports
reached the ears Of prominent members
of the Trades Assembly, and they ad
dressed the miners at meeting at the
Grove, Sunday afternoon. II was re-
ported last night that none OF the mer
returned to work Yesterday.
