CROKER'S

The Democratic newspapers Of
New York City are blaming
Croker for the defeat of the
Democratic ticket in the State.
They declare that if the Tam
many boss had not refused to
permit Judge Daily to be renom-
mated there would have been
much less opposition to the Dem
ocratic ticket. Croker turned
down Judge Daily because he
would not permit Tammany to
dictate the appointments which
belong to the judicial position
which he held. Croker's action
undoubtedly did much to injure
the DemocracY's chances. Par~
ticularly did it alternate the sup
port of many lawyers throughout
the State. The cry was raised
that the attempt of Croker to dis
cipline Judge Daily was an attack
upon the Judges, and if it were
not promptly rebuked there would
be danger of the Judges becoming
mere tools of political bosses.
This argument undoubtedly car
ried much weight. 1t created a
desire to rebuke Croker, and those
Democrats and Independents who
entertained that desire voted
against the Van Wyck ticket.
Croker's action was a big blunder,
and while it was scarcely the one
factor which brought about Dem
ocratic defeat, it necessarily must
have played a considerable part
The judiciary is not looked upon
by the great mass of voters of this
country as the rightfnl prey of
political bosses. They ere oppos-
ed to dragging Judges into polls
tics, and any effort to control the
judiciary as one would dominate
lessor political candidates is nearly
always sure to be rebuked, as it
should be.

ably with past records. Among
the list, we have one flax wheel, a
stump tail COW, one quart of Gu
riosity, and an old fashioned dung
hill rooster, who has crowed SO
much since last Thursday that he
has punctured his inner tube,
bent his handle bars, and sprung
his sprocket, SO as to materially
interfere with his gearing. He is
now undergoing repairs.
We wish again to impress upon
our farmers the Importance of
sowing small grain. Wheat even
at sixty cents and oats at forty
five per bushel will beat cotton at
five cents per pound, besides the
advantage of following the grain
with peas and making hay equal
ly as good, if properly cured, as
clover. The time will soon be
past for sowing and we hope to
see many abandon cotton till it
again gets high enough to pay
for producing it. Sow small grain
and raise stock, and get out of
the old rut, and hard times will
not weigh SO heavily.

HE GOT A LIGHT.
And Was Surprised to Learn Who
Gave it to Him

A member of General Miles
staff tells of an incident down at
Tampa before the departure of
the troops for Santiago. He was
standing in the Office of the
Tampa Bay Hotel one evening,
dressed in a plain business suit
and smoking cigar, when a tall,
rawboned private from the Fifth
Maryland Regiment stroned up
to him and said:
Say, partner. give US O light"
The gentleman addressed put
his hand in his pocket. drew out
a silver case. took a match from
it, struck fire and handed it
politely TO the soldier, who
thanked him and lighted his
cigar.
The encounter was witnessed
by the porter Of the hotel, who
watched his chance and said to
the soldier:
"Who was the man that gave
you the match?"
ST don't know, except that he's

land boy.
well, I'll tell you who he is,"
said the porter, land you won't

1.-The devil you say" was the
response, as the soldier walked
off in chagrin. Awaiting his op.
portunity. he stepped up to the
General with a salute, and said;
General, I have to apologize
for what may have seemed to
you an impertinence. But I had
never seen you before. and you
wore nothing to indicate your
rank, SO I took the liberty of ad.
dressing you as 7 would any
stranger, and I hope you will ex.
cuse me for it."

They were men Of property, ms

are not a mob. They are revoln-
tionists asserting a sacred and
recognized right. Black tyranny
has no especial privileges over
that of a lighter color.
The error that has led to this
state of affairs was the enfrans
chisement of the negro in the
| first instance. For this no one
man and no one party was entire
ly responsible. There were deep
ly thinking and patriotic demos
Gratis who voted for it, believing
that this was the road out of a
national difficulty and that the
| gift of the ballot would work the
wondrous transformation and
change the colored barbarian ins
to a civilized citizen. Men of al
parties and individuals of none
made the mistake Of beginning
at the top to build downward. 1t
was like putting a weapon in the
hands Of a savage. That does not
always work a benefcence. The
negro was made a full aedged
citizen before he knew the mean
ing of the term. The experience
of years has demonstrated the
error. Instead Of lessening the
evil has increased. That it must
be ended even at the expense OF
revolution is the opinion of those
who have stuff cred most from it,
and the men of Wilmington have
shown their faith by their works,
unfortunate though they be and
repugnant as is the thought OF
bloodshed to all of US.
And, aside from the employs
mant of force. w hat remedy have
the people of the south? Evil
IDENTIFY there is but one, and that
is the undoing of the original
mistake that placed the ballot in
the hands of the blacks. The
steps must be retraced. The ne.
gro must be DISTINGUISHED. If an
entire generation of liberty and
the possession Of the franchise
has been Intellectual to prepare
him for citiz ansbip as the white
American understands the term
the black mans case is hopeless.
His mental and moral characters
istics are such as to render i'm
possible his assimilation of the
fundamental ideas on which ou1
free institutions rest. A tremend.
Gus issue-this disfranchisemen
of the black man, but it IS tvi-
IDENTIFY a real one and not distant.
That or worse, a thousand times
worse. That or what took place
at Wilmington on a scale as wide
as the evil itself.

If the people generally knew the.
true cause of Rheumatism. there
would be no such thing as lini-
ments and lotions for this painful
and disabling disease. Tie fact is,
Rheumatism is a disordered state
of the blood-it can be reached,
therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires . real
blood remedy-something more than
a mere tonic. Swift's Specific is
the only real blood remedy, and it
promptly goes to the very bottom
of even the most obstinate case.
A few years ago I was taken with in
hammatory rheumatism which though
mild at first, became gradually SO in
tense that I was for weeks unable to
walk. 1 tried several prominent physi-
clans and took their treatment faith
fully, but was unable to get the slightest
relief. In fact, my condition seemed to
grow worse, the pains spread over my
entire body, and from November to
March I suffered agony. l tried many
patent medicines, but none relieved me.
Upon the advice of a friend [ decided to
try s. S. s.. Before allowing me to take
it, however, my guardian, who was a

Old time Democratic enthusi-
asm enveloped the capital city of
North Carolina last night. Never
in Raleigh's history was there
such a demonstration as was
witnessed on her streets last
evening. The occasion was the
Notification and celebration of the
great Democratic victory one
week previous to the very day.
The city was alive With cheer
ing people, the streets were
aglow with flaming cracking
barrels of tar, and brilliant illu-
mination shed radiant light from
every window and building.
Above all this enthusiasm, this
flaming fire and illumination, was
the explosion of cannon crackers.
the cheering of thousands of
citizens and the desfening volume
Of noise that proceeded from tin
horns, tin pans, etc. An indies
cribable din filed the air from
dusk until a late hour last night.
The great crowd that thronged
every avenue in the city ran way
up in the thousands. Every
white CITIZEN Of Raleigh, who
was able to walk took part IN the
great jubilee and equally as
many from a distance joined in.
There is no telling how many
people were out, but a more Jubi.
liant and enthusiastic body OF
citizens never met together,
Young men without boards, OLD
men with gray whiskers, grizzled
soldiers and young men, the sons
of veterans were on a common
footing and We'd with each other
in taking the more active part ir
the celebration.
The occasion was a greater
success than even the most
sangrine had hoped for. The
crowd was greater, the illuminas
tions more resplendant. the
parade mere brilliant and the
speeches more elo quent. Ralelgt
did herself proud in honor Of the
great victory at tbs polls. AnC
1t was meet aud proper that she
should have celebrated in such q

more of these combined evils anc
has experienced more of them
than any other section of the
Estate and why should the city
not express her qualification ano
delight. The city took advantage
of the opportunity with an i'm
tense spirit of enthusiasm. Yes
joy was unconfned.

pageant. It was participated in

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Miss Elizabeth Farley Had Engaged Pas
sage en- the Monhegan.

A few days ago, Mr.. Cyrus Fl. Farley
received letter from his daughter, Miss
Elizabth Farley. stating that she would
sail from London for New York on the
steamship Mohegan. Saturday morning
Mr.. Farley picked up the paper and to
his horror read of the loss of the Mohe-
gan, with nearly all her passengers off
the Lizard. Believing his daughter to
be a passenger on this ship, Mr.. Farley
feared that she might be among those
lost. Without letting his wife or any of
his family see the paper, Mr.. Farley put
it in his pocket and started down town.
His son. MIR. Philip Farley, who is en-
ployed by firm on Wall street, New York,
and who had gone to England on bust
ness "trip, had arranged to meet his sister
in London. and was planning to come
home with her on5the same steam ship.
Mr.. Farley at once telegraphed the Wall
street firm and learned that his son. ac-
compan ed by Miss Farley, had sailed
from Liverpool, Saturday the 18th. In
the afternoon MIR. Farley received let
ter from his son Philip confirming this
statement The son wrote that Miss
Farley had. given up her passage on
the Michigan and would return with him
on the Lucania. Miss Farley evidently
had very narrow escape from sailing on
| the Mohegan.
Miss Farley has been in Constantinople
