A BRILLIANT LIFE CLOSED.

When a man dies, it is not so much
"What did be know2" that people ask,
but How many hearts did he make
happy2' In life men are judged by their
knowledge and achievements; in death it
is those qualities of goodness of heart,
kindly feeling, cheerfulness and helpful
ness to others that claim first place in
the thoughts of their fellows
When the news came that Capt. Octa-
vius Coke was dead there was genuine
sorrow in many homes and every man
stopped his neighbor to tell of some Incl
dent showing the big heart and broad
sympathies of the dead Secretary of
State. Nobody, in the first shock,
thought to speak of his legal ability, his
reputation as an orator, his bravery as a
soldier. Tomorrow and next year these
can be measured, but now it is of 1.-THE
golden hearted gentleman" his cheerful
ness, his genial ways, his knightly chival-
ry, his love for his fellows, and
his royal good fellowship that fill the
hearts of his friends and neighbors.
1t is only the Napoleons, Carlyles and
Jetfersons-men of giant minds-who
base their claim to fame upon learning
or achievement. Men of his ability, as
measured by their associates, M st seek
to have their names perpetuated in the
hearts of those who knew their true
worth. Capt. Coke Will be remembered
for hs lofty patriotism and public SER
vices, but the most fragrant flowers that
will bloom upon his grave are those that
breathe his genial and cordial good fell
lowship, his warm heart, and his uI-
selfish love of those who were nearest
and dearest to him in life.

AN OLD CUSTOM THAT SHOULD
BE REVIVED.


In late letter from Switzerland, DR..
Parshurst says: ut would be healthy
custom if, at the end of a representa-
tive's term, the incumbent were sum-
moned before mass meeting of his con-
stituents and required to render public
account of his stewardship. There would
be gallons of moral tonic in the prospect
of such catechising. Something of the
kind is, believe, in vogue in parts of
Scotland"
This custom formerly prevailed in
North Carolina and it not only served
the purpose of rendering an account Of
stewardship, but also of informing the
people who did not read the papers Of
the most important acts of the Legisla-
ture. 1t also afforded an opportunity to
mans constituents to question him
about any unwise or improper vote, and
to publicly expose any dereliction Of duty.
The Scotchmen have given to North
Carolina much that is best in population,
IN religion and industry, and if we should
go back to the old plan which, with m
mendable tenacity, the Scotch have not
given up, much would be gained in
many ways.
If to a patient hearing, the people
added sharp catechising, it would, in
truth, be moral tonic.

THE weakness of most labor organiza-
tons has been their antagonism to the
churches. Some of these churches are
indifferent to the needs of the poor, but
they have been their best friends in all
ages. The new President of the Far
mer's Alliance may throw his bombs at
the church of the Christ if he chooses.
Tue only effect his crusade on the church
will have will be to injure his own cause.
Some guns there are that so contrive it,

And whether charged for duck or plover
