THE BIRD IS HATCHED.
The conference or
of the Labor Organization of the
United States met at St. Louis on
the of February and was in
session for three days. It was large-
attended. Col. Polk of North
Carolina was chosen Chairman.
The body was composed of
gates from most of the Labor Or-
and from the white
and colored Alliances- A woman
was one of the Vice-Presidents
and a one of its Secretaries.
The meeting was called by the
convention that met at
last fall It had general-
believed that the
was called for the purpose of or-
Third Party. For some-
time past however it was hoped
that this would not be done, as
many prominent were
opposed to its taking any action
which would lead to this. In con-
sequence much interest has been
felt in regard to the meeting. Its
sessions were with the
same interest that had shown
in the occasion previous to the
meeting.
The convention is now a thing
of the past. The fruit of it is a
Third Party. If correctly report-
believe this to
man in the
Southern States who loves good
government because a Third
Party with us means Republican
We are not ready for this

of North Carolina is. We
know they will get justice in the
party that was the home of their
fathers. There they will remain.

thing important to bring before
the body and asked to be heard.
He got a long speech
the two old parties in favor of
a new one and suggested a mass
meeting immediately after ad-
for the purpose design-
of bringing into life the Third
Party. The meeting was held as
suggested. Ben Terrill of Texas
was Chairman and the result of it
was the calling of a convention to
meet in Omaha, Nebraska, on the
4th of July to nominate a
date for President and
dent of the United States- In an
address signed by various persons
among whom was Col. L- L. Polk
of North Carolina, each State is
requested to send four delegates
from each Congressional District
and eight from the State at
to this convention. This will
make the number of delegates
Each township and county is

He may be nominated, he may

certainly
So far Congress has done but
little- It is getting far into the
session and nothing of importance
has been accomplished- The eyes
of the people are upon this House
especially and they are expected
to enact wise legislation. Up to
the present everybody has been
disappointed, There is much at
stake and the Democratic House
needs to get down at once to work
and give, as far as is in their power
to do to the people. Unless
they do this the Democratic party
will be held responsible- This will
operate very seriously against the
party in the Presidential contest
so soon to be had. The members
ought and do know this, and they
ought to feel the responsibility
and do something, and that at
once.
The friends of President Cleve-
land in New York propose to hold

is said they left in disgust. We do
not believe there is one Alliance-
man in a hundred in this State but
what will approve of their action.
The tile and rank of the Alliance
in North Carolina were born and
bred Democrats and unless we are
mistaken they will be found
in the ranks of this party

present it looks as if neither Hill

THE PEOPLE COMPLAIN.
A matter which the railroad com-
mission ought to take into
and deal with as occasion
might warrant, is the running of
such excursions by the railroads as
was experienced on
day by persons attending the New
fair. The excursion was an
outrage that deserves the severest
condemnation of all citizens, and
one which should not be tolerated.
Whatever railroads advertise and
agree to do they should be com-
to carry out, or held re-
for failure to do so. Let
us see what they did last
An excursion was advertised
to be run from Scotland Neck to
New to leave the former
place at C o'clock A. M-, and reach
New at An on
train was run from Goldsboro to
New every day during the
fail-, due to reach the latter place
about the hour named above. The
excursion train from Scotland
Neck passed Greenville a little
after o'clock and reached Kinston
something after on good time.
The Coast Lino engine had to be
dropped here, the arrangement be-
that the A. N. C- road should
furnish the engine to pull the train
its pan of the trip. No ob-
could have been raised to
this had the train been allowed to
go on to its destination. Instead of
this, however, it was side-tracked
at Kinston and made to wait until
the other train from Goldsboro
had passed, which was about
o'clock. Going down behind that
train was very much of a snail
pace, and it was o'clock when
the excursionists were pulled into
New This late arrival
caused them to miss a very inter-
part of the fair exercises for
the day.
But the worst is not yet.
excursion train was advertised to
leave New on the trip
at P. M. It being a rainy,
day the people went to
the depot as soon as it began to
grow dark and were in the cars
ready to go before the hour of de-
The advertised hour
riving and no signs of departure
being at hand inquiries led to the
the information that the excursion
train could not pull out till the
east bound mail train had arrived.
But the wait for this was not long,
as that train soon pulled in, and
the excursionists naturally thought
they would quickly be off. After
waiting until o'clock the sudden
bumping of the cars indicated that
an engine had hooked on in front,
and exclamations off now
were heard all through the train
as she moved forward. A run of a
few minutes changed this tune
when the passengers felt the train
stop and then go pushing back to
the depot. Just a shift to get on
the main track they thought, when
there were more bumps followed
by another start forward. A few
run again brought a
of what had just occurred.
This thing was repeated until it
grew and for an
hour longer the train kept running
up and down the track. Some
that the company had con-
that they had not given the
money's worth so were throwing
in that much extra others
that the train kept running back
trying to get enough headway to
go forward. However, the secret
of it was that either through gross
stupidity in the management, or
prompted a mean spirit of pen-
authorities had
decided to combine the two trains
and send them back to Kinston
with a single engine. After enough
shifting apparently for a hundred
cars the train finally pulled out a
few minutes before o'clock, one
engine with twenty-two passenger
coaches loaded with considerably
more than a thousand people. The
result, as might have been expect-
ed, was several balks along the
road, the engine coming to a dead
halt under its immense burden
and only getting off after repeated
efforts. Kinston was finally
reached about o'clock, a run of
miles in something over three
hours. In addition to these de-
lays, several of the cars had no
fire in them, very much to the dis-
comfort of the passengers.
At Kinston the Greenville and
Scotland Neck coaches were
dropped and the Coast Lone engine
took them back to their
the last named place being
reached about five hours behind
the advertised time for returning.
All trouble of this delay should be
placed right where it belongs, on
the A. N. C- road and its manage-
The fair itself may be ex-
every detail, as it was
this time, but if the who
visit it are to be outraged in this
manner by the railroad, future
years will show a wonderful falling
off in attendance. The railroad
evidently has very little interest in
trying to make people pleased with
a visit to New and the fair.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C- Feb. 26,1892-
The good sense of the Demo-
of the House has about put
an end to all dangers of a clash in
the party over the free coinage
bill. A caucus was held last night,
not for the purpose of
anyone against his will, I t
allow a free interchange of
as to what ought to be done, and
the prediction is made by those
high the party councils that a
special rule will be reported from
the committee on Rules fixing a
date for the consideration of the
free coinage bill. The free bind-
is to be called up
next week and a final vote will be
taken on it, if the present pro-
gramme is adhered to, on the first
Monday in April. It is
that the date for the consideration
of the free coinage bill will be set
for the same week in which the
binding-twine bill is passed, and
that it will be disposed of before
the other two tariff bills, which
have the right of way at all times,
are called up.
Senator Sherman has had no
love for Mr. Blaine since the
national Republican convention of
1880, as he has always believed
that Mr. Blaine knocked him out
of being nominated for President,
by that convention, and his
which was adopted calling
upon the President to inform the
Senate of the proceedings recently
had with the representatives of the
Dominion of Canada and of the
British government as to arrange-
men s for reciprocal trade with
Canada, bodes no good to the man
from Maine. It is believed that
Senator Sherman, who is credited
with having said that Mr. Blaine
was still the field for the
nomination, thinks that the
Republican of the proceedings of
the recent conference will bring
out some facts not altogether
to the Secretary of State-
Mr. Harrison and his family
have gone to Virginia Beach for a
week's holiday. His extraordinary
exertions in getting that letter
from Mr. Blaine tired him out.
Senator Bate a short but
strong speech against the Paddock
pure food bill, this week which, he
said was a measure that would
turn the Agricultural department
a huge partisan political
machine, as under it there would
be commissioned a multitude of
who might be stationed
along the railroads of the country
of course, at places convenient
to voting precincts, where they
could help curry out the political
orders received from headquarters.
Another reason why Mr- Bate op-
poses the bill is that he thinks it a
matter belonging exclusively to
the several States, with which the
government has nothing
to do. Senator Coke is also op-
posed to the bill, which he says
attempts and utterly
thing in trying to regulate and
take care of the food, drink and
medicine of people,
which has been done and
never can be done. I it become
a law, he thinks the country would
be with spies and inform-
without accomplishing any-
thing, because the people
novel accept the dictum of a
bureau at Washington on what
they should eat or drink, or what
they should take

laws has favorably re-
ported to the House from

COTTON MARKET is lower now than at any former period

dented movement of the crop since September last, and the large

see an improvement in prices later on in the season, when the
movement must be necessarily light; and if any of our friends,
who have cotton, would like to raise money on same and hold it
longer, we are prepared to advance them to 825.00 per bale

happy idea the instigators of
this fair hit upon in planning such
exhibits, and this part of North

to notice of the world will prove
inestimable value to the entire

and this will increase year

We said this was not n fair the
product of the soil, still there was
a room of one building set apart for
agricultural exhibits, and it was
creditably filled with fine specimens
corn, rice, wheat, oats, peas,
toes, turnips, etc. The room
above this was floral ball in which
was displayed hundreds of varieties
of rare and beautiful flowers and
evergreens. In one division of this
department was quite a collection of
cm many of them articles that
had been in existence more than a
century. Opposite this department
was a room containing a number of
creditable exhibits,
among which we noticed that our ad-
Mr. A. Coho, had a nice
display of pianos and organs. On
the third floor this same building
was the art and fancy work depart
where some splendid specimens
were exhibited.
Leaving Ibis building we next went
lo the and oyster build-
which caught us all over. There
was never a finer exhibit of oysters
anywhere, and clams and
were also in great abundance. The
fish were marvelous to behold, almost
every known variety, many of them
in large blocks of clear ice.

impressed us with the fact that not

attend. He also explained how to
get them to Sunday School. The
teacher ought to know the of the
child the teacher is an
factor to the accomplishing
of good. He touched upon the
of teachers and superintend-
ants not becoming up in
not making progress as they see it.
To accomplish the most good
day Schools should lie run the entire
year and not six months in the year.
Another point that may help many
not to be discouraged as to numbers
etc, is to begin in the winter then
when fall off comes it will not
be felt.
Rev. R. F. Taylor showed the
fortunate condition of the Sunday
School that has an incompetent

He
A bill is now being pressed before th-3
legislature at Albany that the
state go into partnership with
and up state houses of ill fume.
It is exceedingly difficult to such
a measure before decent people.
But if our civilization is rotten enough
to breed vermin capable of
a measure, it la lime we looked the
awful fact squarely the face. If our
power has fallen so low that
a man can be found among the
of the people traitor enough
to introduce a into a
is high time respect-
able men and women faced such villains
with the righteous of com-
decency.
The measure was the heart of
a set of lecherous scoundrels, who wish
to the high seal of the slate to their
vii-vS and prosecute their careers of
crime with immunity from disease at
the expense of honest taxpayers. They
want to sow the wind and let I ho state
and their helpless victims, stamped with
the brand of infamy, reap the whirl-
wind.
SLAVES IN STATE HAREMS.
The design of the measure is to make
a life of vice easy and safe for male
brutes by confining the victims of their
brutality as slaves state harems
forced medical inspection. Are we
ready for such a villainy If so. let
have a thoroughgoing measure. Let it
apply to males as well us females. Let
there two of registration
equal license fees levied without regard
to sex, and let there be a of
offered every woman who reports a
of the male registration laws.
AND LICENSE.
Let us not mistake the origin of this
measure. It was born of the unholy
i of the brutal lost with
the equally brutal principle license.
If it is right to license tho saloon the
logic is irresistible that it is right to
license all the smaller vices that cluster
this sink of iniquity. sane
man questions the fact that the saloon
is the breeding ground of tho
rendezvous of criminals, the Open door
to the brothel. If it be said that
is a legitimate article of commerce
and has its true uses, it can be said with
greater truth that the proper association
of man and woman is the fulfillment of
the highest end noblest instinct of
The whole license system is rotten to
the core. It is all of the same piece. It
is a device of the devil to deceive Hie
elect, and he has done it with
mate skill. The debauching of the pub-
lie conscience through tho license sys-

Jesus Christ was born into a world of
slaves. The angels who sang their good
news to tho shepherds watching in the
hills looked down Upon the human race,

came to free the world; but how could

Jesus had chosen force he might have
freed the chosen people, and established
for thorn a national freedom which
would have been merely an episode in
tho history of a nation. If he
had enacted a system of laws, such an
effort would have been a so far
as freeing a race of slaves is concerned.
Slaves are not made free by law Mas
only freedom as ho attains it
within. Therefore Jesus chose the only-
plan possible by which a world could be
free. He lived and tho truth in

he knows tho truth. Ho knew that
when man knows the truth ho cannot

with his work, should enter a fashionable
church in New York city today and
should speak the truth with such
sis and clearness as he did lo the
and Pharisees and hypocrites of in
the days of old. I am afraid that there
are some churches that would not only
put him out the door, but would have
arrested and put in an insane asylum.
Suppose this same lowly should
enter some of our churches at our social
gatherings and should denounce
the respects hie sins of this century, as he
did the respectable sins of the century in
which ho lived. Jesus said few harsh

to his declaration. I say, without the
; fear of contradiction, that more blood
has flowed and more dark crimes have
been committed in the sacred name of
liberty than in all other mimes

them that Cod was no respecter of per-

the second great principle of freedom
that institutions are made for man, not
man for institutions. Tho world was
bound by the iron slavery of institutions

Judaic Sabbath with impunity, because
he taught the law of as the supreme
law of life, declaring that the Sabbath
was made for man, not man for the

The progress of the principles of Chris-

and nations is one with the progress of
tho principles of freedom and the retreat
of slavery. Of all tho absurd statements
of infidelity, the absurdest of all is that

too in our judgment of such an
expression coming from a man who has
never read the Bible. But must say-
that it is sublime cheek in any man to
pretend to be a teacher of men upon a
subject on which profound
is thus displayed. The Bible records
tho fact of slavery always with tho ac-
cent of condemnation. Tho Bible covers
years of life. It covers tho infancy
of tho race. God could not wipe the in-
of slavery from the earth with-
out wiping tho freedom of man from tho
earth. Man must grow to the stature of
a freeman, if ho free indeed and not
an automaton. Tho morality of the

of Christ. Though it covers years

this sort of religion. Infidelity, we
told, believes in tho g of good
clothes, good houses, good victuals well

infidelity for the good of humanity were
gathered together I fear it would not fill
a pint cup. If love slavery, then so
is religion. It is religion that binds
heart to heart, man to man. race to race
and all in one common bond around tho
throne of God. For it is love that
hinds upon our back tho burden of sin
and weakness and suffering and sorrow,

a poor workman who fainted amid the
blackened ruins of the Hotel Royal from

Yon could not escape it. because of this
divine principle of love. Christianity is

life of love.

The splendid strength of Yale is in
the democratic spirit that prevails there,
which gives any boy on tho campus the
same chance and sees in a dollar only
the value that is given to it by the char-
of its owner. As a general rule
the boy there who had his fortune to
make has better than tho boy
whose father had made it for him. If
there ever comes a time when the
lows are sized up by what's in their
pocketbooks instead of by what's their
heads, Yale will be a different
from the Yale of old, and a poorer
one, however much more money it may-
give her.
There should a limit put on the ex-
and a discountenancing of

spread through tho institution. Time
