a great political party, and North
Carolina is one of it's stronghoIds, But
more than that, the other kind of labor
organization is coming. Manufactur.
ers are beginning to recognize the i'm.
mense advantages which North Caro-
lima can give. Her mighty resources
are being investigated. Factories are
springing up here and there. Our popu.
lation is being tinged with that Of the
factory kind. Our old, secluded, con.
servative State is gone, or going, and
in it's place will be found one filled
with all of the current social and il.
dustrial problems and the radicalm ,
which human suffering breeds. The
question is ours How will we meetii
1t behooves each one of us to study
the great movement underlying these
various manifestations. There is Life
or death for rus in the task, while It'll
but suicide to evade it. To this duty
there is abundant call, so that the
statesman who neglects it is a chara
tan, the philanthropist who shirks It'll
a hypocrite, the christian man who
passes it by is a traitor to his Gd
Shall it be said that North CaroIina8
women and men are, for the first time
in all of their history, Ioath to answer
stern duty's call9
Look with me at that mighty temple
once as white as the driven SNOW. It's
pillars seem strorg as if founded in
justice, it's arches kiss the very Skies
its portals are wide enough for the foot
sore throng of humanity to enter into
it's air Of peace. All! surely, Liberty
must walk those corridors Art must
edorn those walls. Religion mustf ill
those aisles with incense. Yes, for
there is embl8zoned upon it's front, in
letters OF glittering gold, large enough
for the farthest to see, and bright
enough to shed into the heart Of The
humblest slave the very sunlight Of
freedom, the simple word HUMANITY,
aglow with the effulgent splendor 4
heaven. But no! what is that l hear
There comes, borne upon the gentle
breeze that seems ashamed to bear it,
the pititul cry of suffering men. Ana
do I see it9 Yes; there, within those
sacred precincts, are the tables Of The
money changers, the cIinking of whose
cursed coin keeps time to the constant
wailing. And there, off to one side'
stands the Goddess of Liberty, thestaf
upon her forehead darting rays Of W.
ing fire as she points with her sWoFa
toward her befouled and prostitutes
home. And I know not how you may
feel about it, but as for me l desireD'
greater privilege than to answer to DEL
call for men by kneeling down humOE
at her feet and letting her strike up0D
my shoulder the k~nighthood thatcon"
OF her giving alone, and pin upon ny
breast the snow white cross of cru
sade, not to capture an empty sepulchS
upon burning Syrian sands, but y
seize, purge, and re consecrate as IT,
abiding place of all that is good, tbs
great temple of humanity's cause.

1T WAS NOT A PoeULIST CON-
VENTION.

The Democrats held a city conven-
ton in st. Lous last Saturday. About
800 delegates were presentand the fight
between the factions was kept down,
by nice management, until the chair
man had actually assembled the plat
form and called the convention to or
der. AS soon as the Chairman had
called the meeting to order the fight
ing began. Twenty policemen were
called in to calm the belligerents, but
got worsted in the attempt. The Bond
faction got the upper hand in the riot,
for a short while, and appointed COM
mittees.
Then the Harrison faction rallied,
drove the Bond ties from the field and
nominated their men. $50 policemen
aided the Harrisonites and hustled the
Bond ties out of the hall-the latter
fighting vRliantly as they fell back.
Seventeen arrests have been made
and Democracy is On a boom in St.
Louis.

to say about the little 'Iucous" be-
tween Mrs. Reed and brother Akers in
Denver, Colorado, week before last,
will please make mention of this St.
Louis Love Feast, where it took $50
policemen to hold down one little
Democratic convention of 800 dele
gates.-People's Party Paper, Atlanta.

vaulting stone for ambitious men. Diel
Yes, the present Populist party may
die, mayhap even now is dying; but 1t
it does, or even if it lives and fails to
reform, something else must be forth
coming to fill the place which it started
out to fill. A peoples party there must
ever be!
Well, the recent political campaign
was but another manifestation Of this
same general movement of which /
speak. Now I am not going to discuss
the question of finance. I shall GER
tainly not say to you that the system
of those men whose party is now tri
umphant is the very best thing u
nation could have. And, on the other
hand, righteous indignation forbids that
I should say anything in behalf Of that
theory which needs no better defense
than that its opponents were unable to
answer it's arguments, and had to re
sort to the contemplate subterfuge of
branding it's believers as anarchists
In 4CPUN4OUAOA40GS w A0V l. h4CCS4 w
say is this: that the recent political
campaign meant something far more
than bi metallism. He must have been
a superficial observer, indeed, who
failed to mark beneath the surface of
the movement a something greater
than a question of mere national
finance, The gold standard men said
that their opponents, if victorious,
would not be- content with a mere
change in our coinage system-and
they were right! The party which has
suffered a temporary defeat was the
expression of the needs of the great
laboring class. and, if victorious. would
not have rested short of the accomp-
lishment Of industrial freedom. Nay,
more; it UCiU not rest short of that high
aim; for while, as the gold men assert,
the free coinage of silver may not be
battle cry in 1900, the something else
that was in this movement will be
there to meet their money-bag sur
rounded hosts, and, like truth, this
something knows no Waterloo.

TO THE POOR HOUSE.
The Only Haven for a Sick and
 Moneyless Stranger.

This morning, in rear of the gas honse, the police discovered a sick stranger, without mooey and with out friends. He is a Bohemian fron Memphis, in search of employ ment. He was taken sick here-and was lying near 3 pile of lumber when discovered. This morning he was carried to the poor house, there being DO other haven in the city for such unfertunates.
 Such eases are frequently called to the attention ot our readers, and in this connection it will be well 10 urge the County Leaving Board, which meets in October, to appro priate a sum of money to be used to care for the deserving sick and des- titute. The poor house is no pace for such people. There they can not receive proper medical treat ment and attention, aud it is 8 dis. grace to the county and city that in this enlightened aud philanthropie age, that neither P.na E ,tsf nor Jel. ferson county have haven or char |ity hospital where the sick and des. titute can be given humane treat ment.
 An appropriation of $2, 0o0 a N ar by the county would be most bene. ticial in this cause, and that sum would scarcely be felt by the tax payers of the rich county of Jefier- son.
 If q sum of money was thus appro. priated by the Levying Board, per haps a ward could be secured 1t the lnfrmary for the treatment and care of unfortanates who take sick and are without money or friends
