olina. He fought the increase persist
emily since the bill WAS reported from
the committee. Senator Pritchard told
his Republican colleague that the increase
would work great harm to the farmers of
North Carolina. Virginia. Tennessee and
kentucky, as 1t would seriously affect
the demand for tobacco
Senator Pritchard's opposition to the
amendment was urged upon every occa-
sion, and he did a great deal of hard
work to defeat iU. He has never taken
the fight into the Senate, however, but
has conducted it earnestly with the com
mittee and his brother Senator's. A de-
clsion was reached to make the rate on
cigarettes so per thousand on those

The State central committee of the gold
Democrats has called conference at
what shall be the course VI the organiza-
ton in the coming State campaign.
While some of the more radical members
are anxious to act independently, the
great majority do not think the coinage
issue is involved to any great degree in
the campaign, and will act with their old
party. However, it is likely that they
will keep up the organization.

Man that is born of woman is of
few days and full of microbes.
He cometh forth like flower, but
is soon wilted by the winds of ad-
versity and scorched by flames of
perplexity.
Sorrow and headache follow him
all the days of his life.
He hoppeth from his bed in the
morning and his foot is pierced BY
the cruel tack Of disappointment.
He ploddeth forth to his daily
toll and his cuticle is punctured by
the malignant nettles OF ofexhaustion.
He sitteth himself down to rest
at MONDAY, and is lacerated in his
neither anatomy by the pin of disas-
ter.
He walketh through the streets
of the city in the pride and glory
of his manhood, and slippeth on the
banana peel Of misfortune and un-
jointeth his neck.
He smoketh the cigar of content
ment but 10, it explodeth with a
loud noise, for it was loaded
Behold he glideth down the ban
lister of life and findeth it strewn
with splinters Of torture.
He is stung by the mosquitoes of
annoyance by day and his frame is
gnawed by the bedbugs of affliction
by night.
What is man but the blind worm
Of fate? Seeing that his days are
numbered by cycles of pain and his
years by seasons of mourning.
Behold he is impaled upon the
hook of desolatyin, and is swallow
ed up by death in the fathomless
ocean of time and is remembered
no more.
In his infancy he runneth over
with worms and collie, and in his
old age he groaneth with rheuma-
tism and ingrowing toe-nails.
He narryeth a cross-eyed woman
because her father hath a bank ae-
count, and 6ndeth that she is rid.

A comparison OF some census
figures shows startling effects in the
distribution of wealth to population
in this country. Rhode Island as
an agricultural section is perhaps
the poorest part of the Union. Yet
the gain in wealth made by Rhode
Island between 1880 and 1890 was
$41, 100000 greater than that of
Mississippi, South Carolina, In
diana and Illinois all put together.
The same condition holds good of
every part of New England, which
is the poorest section of the agri-
culturally. Massachusetts, alone
gained in wealth $11, 100000 more
than ten of the southern and west
ern states gained unitedly, although
these states have nine times the
population of Massachusetts,. New
York gained in wealth 100000
more than the combined increase
of Is of the most productive agri-
cultural states of the Union. ALI
the northern Atlantic states made a
like tremendous gain as compared
with the rest of the Union.
The other side of the picture is
that in the very states which grow
in wealth SO rapidly pauperism in
creases just as rapidly. The state
of New York is SO wealthy that
year before last its riches increased
more than $1O0,O00,OOO. Yet this
same New York contains nearly
one-seventh of all the paupers in
the country. In the three states of
New York Pennsylvania and Mass
achusetts, where the largest for
tunes of the country are concen-
trated, the pauper rate is twice as.
high as in the agricultural states.
