WASHINGTON. d. c.. Nov, 9th. /
The result Of last Tuesdays elections
should teach the Democratic party the
immediate and absolute necessity OF
harmony, organization and conserva-
tism. The Republican malorities III
certain states were 80 large that several
presidential possibili were perhaps
forever eliminated from the contests OF
the future Among these are German,
Hill. Carlisle, Brlce and Campbell.
Mr.. Cleveland s third term" nonsense
ought also to be stopped by the out
come. There never was anything IN
1t. It NAV fatter him to hear it and
his sycophants may have their own
axes to grind in telling him 1t Is posi-
BILE for him to become the candidate In
1896, but this is all there Is IN It. Mr..
| Cleveland can retire next March year,
conscious of the fact that he Is very
rich man, perhaps moro than a million
aire, in a position to ENJOY lie thor
oughlv, able to hunt and fish all the
time if he so desires, and with a much
better knowledge or politics and poilu-
clans than he had when he first became
president The Democratic party Will
have to unite on a new man and a
platform or be wiped off the face OF the
earth.
VIM. F. Harritv, chairman OF the
Democratic Committee, Is here. He
saws the National Committee will be
called to meet in this city early II
January to decide where the nOmlna
ting convention shall be held. He says
"The elections of last Tuesday, while
they showed great Republican victories
have not disheartened us, by any
means We shall get together agar
by next November and we will make {
good showing the next campaign. W.
will select a good candidate-1 don
know yet who he will be-and we vii
: show the country that the Democratic
party is still very much alive"

DANGER FROM CATARRH.

The most important feature about
that very common complaint, catarrh
in the head, is Its tendency to develop
into some other more serious and dan
gerous disease. The foul matter drop
ping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to
bronchitis Or consumption, that de-
stroyer which causes more deaths in
this country than any other disease.
AS catarrh originates in impurities in
the blood, local applications can do bnt
little good. The common sense method
OF treatment is to purify the blood, and
for this purpose there is no preparation
superior to Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
powerful action of this medicine upon
the blood expels every impurity, and by
so doing cures catarrh and gives health
to the entire organism.

CAROLINA FISH At ATLANTA
Ncus and Observer 9th.

Ncus and Observer 9th.
Attached to the west-bound "South-
ern" train yesterday afternoon was a
special United States Fish Commission
car. The car is unique In its way. 1t
is fitted up with large tanks and a
Knowles steam air pump is used to cir
culate air through the water in the
tanks.
Some fifteen hundred large fish OF
rare varieties were on the car. The
salt water fish were caught at Morehead
City, and the fresh water fish at New
BERN
North Carolina has a larger variety
OF fish than any other State in the
Union. Stlngarees, skates, swell toads
and many other queer inhabitants OF
the brlny deep were in the tanks.
These are being carried to Atlanta,
where they will supply vacancies in the
exhibit OF the Fish Commission.
Already two carloads of North Caro-
lima fish have been carried to Atlanta

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

The losses to the Democratic party
in those States that have recently held
elections ought to be an object lesson
preparatory to good results next year
The Democrats lost Kentucky, Ohio,
New Jersey and Maryland.
THE DEMOCRAT has all the While
deplored factions within party lines.
There ought to be way OF settling
marty difficulties within our own ranks.
But the Democratic party has fallen
into a habit of cutting sticks with which
the Republicans promptly crack our
heads. That is what lost North Caro-
lima last year. With such strong and
bitter prejudice within our own ranks
it was impossible to WIN. The very
weakest efforts of our opponents count
ed three fold, because we wasted our
strength in disagreeing amongst our
selves.
Now, if the Democratic party would
be wise Tor the struggle that awaits us
next year, we must lay aside prejudice,
personal likes and dislikes, and pull
together.
Believing as we do that the true and
tried principles of the Democratic party
are for the best interests of the people,
we hope to see unanimity amongst our
people, and that right soon.
The rock on which it now seems the
party may be dashed to pieces is the
financial question-silver or gold. Il
seems that many Democrats have come
to believe that this Is the only issue
worth considering. But this is a grea'
mistake. The Democratic party EN-
braces many things besides the question
of gold or silver standard. Let us ever
up our differences, arrive at some safs
conclusions and fair agreements ane
then do honest work for success again

Dispersion of New England Families.

The extraordinary dispersion of New England families is illustrated in a let ter written by William Chapin Web ster, of Hudson, O., to the Hartford Courant. Mr. Webster says that his great-grandfather, Thomas Webster, of Hebron, Conn.,, who lived to be ninety-nine years and eight months old, had family of thirteen children, all but one or two of whom married and some of whom settled near by among them his grandfather. William c. Webster is now in his eighty-ninth year. When he was boy there were four Webster families on four adjoin- ing farms in that part of Hebron known as Gilead, and he can count up fifty Websters born and raised on those farms. Now there is not a Webster on those farms, and the name has run out in that eighborhood.
