Renovating Velvet and Plush.

A simple method of cleaning velvet,
veIveteen and plush is described in
the September Ladies' Home journal
by Emma M. Hooper. The rule ap-
plies to all three kinds of goods, as
all have a pile which if fiattened must
be assisted to rise again. With the
assistance of a stiff whisk broom, a
pan of boiling water and an obliging
friend who will brush up the nap as
you hold the goods taut over the
steam the wrong side to the water,
these materials will look like new.
This process removes wrinkles,
brightens the color, and makes the
crushed nap stay up when brushed
against the grain, and will answer
for black or colored pile fabrics. il

SKIRT Nnu sunrems.

Granting that boomers and the rest
of it were the outward and visible sign
of woman's inward unrest, is the skirt
sign of a reaction? Does it signify a
relapse in spirit as well as in costume
toward tho conventional? It looks very
much that way Scan the Sunday crowd

composed of riders to be seen almost at
no other time-and you can't help but
note the absence of boomers, Knockers

the long skirt. is such as to command
surprise. There doesn't seem to have
been any concerted plan about the
thing. No convention in favor of the
long skirt was held, no bylaws against
boomers were passed, and no petitions
opposing Knockers were put in circula-
ton. But the thing has come to pass.

We wish to emphasize again the
very great Importance of securing
the next legislature of North Caro-
lima If we fail there the great work
of the campaign fails, and the hopes
of the white men are blasted as by
the miIdew of death. Good and hon

depends TO a very great extent upon
a Democratic legislature of white
men The nominations making are
geneI ally good, and in many in
stances the best probably that could
be made The thing to be done is to
elect them all. d not forget in any
political movement made that the
first and by large odds the greatest
thing to be remembered is to secure
the legislature On that being done
hangs al. the prospects and plans
and hopes o: the white people. With
out the legislature being Democratic
the old deYiltry will continue and
Russell and bis gang OF mean whites,
aided by nus negro ''savages, will
ride rough shOd over the whites.
With two more years OF misrule, with
the hrgroes- as bosses, d home in

it. So the active canvassers and
their helpers must work night and

Parallel Gases.

Charlotte Observer.
There are two things which, from
the Democratic side of the present
campaign, very strongly suggest the
Democratic campaign of 1876. They
are the spirit aud determination, of
the party and the class OF men who
are being dominated tor the Legisla-
ture. lu 1876 it had become neces-
snry for the Democratic party to
carry the State. Vance, it's strong
est man, was nominated for Gov
ernor and ia the counties the best
and strongest men were pressed into
service tor the Lagislature-reserv
forces they may be called. The com
bination OF forces, from the head of
the ticket reaching down into the
counties, was of such strength rs to
be Irresistible. There is no Vance
now, nor is there n Governor to he
elected this year; but the same con
dltion exists now as prevailed TWEEN
tJ-two years ago VIZ: it ID again
necessary that the Democrats carry
the State; and rs tar as the circum
stances OF the case admit, the same
policy is being observed by the
party: it is putting it's best men for
ward for the General Assembly.
And, again, to repeat ourselves, the
spirit of '7G is in the air, and, to
quote some of the brethren, We have
"a comfortable hope" that the result
this year will he a repetition OF that.

THE popULIsT FARMER
He Has Gotten None Of the Things
That Were Promised Him.

He Has Gotten None Of the Things
That Were Promised Him.
Newbern journal
The farmer who has left the Demo
cratic party and joined the Populist
because he believed that through the
latter he would he materially bene-
fitted, and also that certain political
abuses which he considered in exist
ence under Democratic rule would be
abolished. this Populist farmer
should now take q careful ard con-
scientious view of bis position and
see how aud where he stands today.
Why the Populist farmer should
especially consider his political
standing just now is due to the fact
that an important State election is
to be held in November, and that
farmer ought TO inte,ligently consid-
er all the points bearing upon his
condition, material and political,
ana see whether his change from
Democrat to Populist, has met his
hopes and expectations. or whether
the change has been to his disad-
vantage.
Leaving out the question of Office
holding, for the farmer has not
changed his political party for the
sake of getting an office, the first
point is, how has the farmer been
materially benefited?
The Republcan-Populist party
promised the farmer that his taxes
would be lighter, yet the published
reports of the board of equalization
show that this fusion party, which
preached Democratic extravaganza,
has been unable to carry on the
State government without raising
more taxes, and the only class which
has been taxed to pay this extra
amount is the farmer.
Therefore, the farmer can see that
materially fusion government has
made his living higher, by extra tax
alton.
This extra tax raised at the
farmers expense OUGHT to show the
Populist farmer that financial reform
has not come through fusion in
State affairs.
On the issue Of silver, the Populist
farmer will see that his new party
leaders, while preaching silver, and a
coinage of 16 to 1 have ever sought
to cooperate with Republicans, who
have coDtended for the gold stand
ard
In the matter of county govern :
ment the Populist farmer of eastern
North Carolina finds himself subject
to the negro, in whose control most
of the county matters are given by
those who told the farmer that the
Populist party would give him just
what he needed.
Thus the Populist farmer finds
that in every particular he has been
deceived.
His taxes are higher, and he is
made TO pay the extra cost of the
State government.
His States public affairs are scan
dalizpd in nedrly every institution
and department.
His county affairs are placed in the
hands of the negro, and the negro is
thus given a position by which he
may force himself socially upon the
white man, and as an official can
subject the farmer to indignities.
The Populist farmer does not need
to study very much to find that the
grOssest deception has been practiced
and that his present and future well
fare depends upon his quitting such
associations, of getting from a party
which has lowered the farmers posi-
>tion, and which if continued in power
will mike MS position still worse.
