MALONE AND BUTLER.

The lesson of Mahone's life il so plain
that he who runs may read, He OBJ
tanned the support of many good men
upon a proposition to readjust the State
debt. He used the support thus given
with which to make dishonorable trade
with the Republicans to elect himself to
the Z. S, Senate. When they found he
had betrayed them, the good men who
had followed Lis leadership repented
his use of them for selfish ends and held
him herceforth in contempt.
In North Carolina many good
men, smarting under the crime of
Republican financial legislation, fol-
lowed Marion Butler in a crusade to
wipe out all gold bugs and all contrac-
ton. Taking advantage of their conf
dence, he used them to make dis
honorable trade with Republicans for
selfish ends by which he got a seat in
the United States Senate for six years,
and brought shame, disgrace and dis
honor on the State of his birth.
Virginia disowned, repudiated and
damned its native son who had proved
a traitor to its civilization, and he died
under the ban of all good men.
North Carolina is not whit less de-
voted to its own good name. 1t is slower
to give full reign to its resentment, but
is not, for its lack of haste, to be sup
posed to forgive treason any more than
the Old Dominion.
Marion Butler can read his future by
careful perusal of the biography of
William Malone. If he has not a copy,
he would do we'll to buy one.

''WHEN thieves fall OUT may not be
an appropriate maxim, but the TRADE
by Senator Irby against Tillman's suf-
frage plank in the South Carolina Con-
stitution suggests the old adage. 1t is
known that Tillman has given orders
that Irby is to be turned down, and that
Is the explanation of the latter's wrath.
He would be docile enough if Tillman
would consent to keep him in the Senate.
His determination to kick Irby out is
about the best thing that Tillman has
done. He is a demagogue who has no
r3deeming quality.

BY the Democratic Route.
Concord Standard.


Since the Populists have been pulling
the reins during the past year, every
day you can hear some good old farmer
who put the blame of the low price of
cotton in 1894 upon the Democrats, de-
nouncing the Populist3 and fusion peo-
pie and making declarations of their in
tention to come unto us again On
Wednesday gentleman from No. 2, and
for several years a strong Populist,
stated that he was done with them; that
the Democrats were not responsible for
the low price of cotton at all; that taxa
ton was higher this year and that he
was going back to glory by the Demo,
cratic route IN 1896"

Getting Drunk Once a Year
ICommereial Gasette.l


The oldest temperance society in the world
is the abstaining commune in Achlyka, in
Siberia, all of whose members are strict tee
totalers every day in the year except one.
Regularly on Sept. /, year after year, all
the adult members of the commune assem-
ble in the parish church and everyone takes
a solemn VOW before the altar to drink no
wine beer, or spirits from the morrow OF
the following day for the whole year. The
clause " from the morrow" is Introduced in
order to give them q reward for their virtue
in the shape of a whole day OF drunken car
nival.
AS soon as they leave the church they be-
gin to indulge in q horrible bacchanalan
drinking which continues throughout the
day, until neither man nor woman i'm the
village is sober. This is naturally followed
by considerable physical suffering and then
by mental remorse, whereupon the pentent
parish enters upon its 12-month of model
sobriety, and all live like the Rechabites.
Some students imagine that this queer
proceeding may be prehistoric tribal Gus
tom.

The derivation of this word is possibly
traceable to the Welsh language. By the
law OF ofmutation of initial consonants peculiar
to that tongue the root words ffedd and medd
are convertible terms. Their essential mean
ing is possession, or the act of being possessed
or engrossed by some occupation or vice.
Welsh medd, and Irish, Sanskrit, and Eng
lish mad have similar meanings, and are
probably kindred words. The word mad is
not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the

the dead and wounded are removed; the
rest withdraw to their camps farther
back among the hollows. The charge
of the 22d of May is over.
The results for the Union army were
some thousands of dead and wounded
soldiers, without the possession of a
single foot of ground which could not
have been gained under cover of dark
ness without the loss of man. Of the
management of the charge on the other
parts of the line /, personally, know
nothing; but, from actual observation
Of events and results in my immediate
neighborhood on that day, am satisfied
that the marching of columns of men 40
files deep, ranging one behind the other,
slowly and deliberately up through mar
row ravine, at the lead of which was a
fort defended by cannon and lined with
wel[amed infantry, was not such dis
play of sound sense and practical knowl-
edge as was likely to commend itself
favorably to anyone, and more especi-
ally to those who, by the force of circum-
stances, became the participants.
In considerably less than one-half
hour in the early part of the charge,
nearly one-tenth of our regiment were
killed or wounded, and most of this loss
occurred while we were moving slowly
forward, or while lying helpless on the
ground, exposed TO the deliberate aim
Of the Confederate soldiers.
Two days longer we remained at
Vicksburg, losing four more men
wounded. On May 26 we marched
down to Warrenten, and there remained
lntil Nicksburg surrendered.
