I mourned the daffodils were

By burning skies that scotched my early
But whilst for these I pined my hands

With roses.
Half broken hearted I bewailed the end
Of friendships than which none had

But whilst I wept I found a newer friend
And dearer.

Senator Jones, of Arkansas, made
a strong argument tariff reform
in a speech on the President's mes-
sage. He characterized the press
est protective tariff as a system of
naked robbery.
Once more the Republicans have
been doomed to disappointment,
while waiting for the Democrats to
help them out of a hole. The lie-
publican Senators fully deter-
mined not to report a tariff bill at
this session, bot they still pretend
to be working on that tariff bill, and
they have been indulging in the
hope that the House would pass
joint resolution setting an early day
for adjournment, which they J
eagerly accept, and then go on the
stump and say that the Democrats j
forced adjournment upon tin in and
thus prevented their reporting a tar-
bill, bat fortunately
was wise, and decided to wait for
the Senate to get ready to adjourn.
Now, the Republicans of the Sens
ate will either have to report that
; tariff bill or else acknowledge their
inability to frame one. They can
take either born of the dilemma. In
meantime the people of the
country should not forget that the
only reason for Congress remaining

port a tariff bill, on their heads be

and the cunning bosses at Beth-
el who are running the machine
hope that by placing only Dem
on their so-called
ticket they will catch the
votes of these Prohibitionists.
When objection is made by a
Democratic prohibitionist to
vote anything except his party
ticket, these shrewd Third party
men will tell them that they are
voting for Democrats when they
vote their ticket. The scheme
is a nice one, and is carefully
laid to catch the unwary, but we
believe there are no Democrats
in Pitt county who will bite at
the tempting bait. Our people
have eye
they know that the pill has only
a slight coating of sugar on the
outside while within it is the
same old rotten Republican dose.
And we have been sufficiently
cursed with that medicine here-
So much of it has been
given us that our people have
become nauseated and have spit
it out of their mouths to be
taken no mote forever.

put down as the incentive that
leads the Republican bosses to
advocate a change.
We understand the Pro-

to us the ticket now
stands as follows For the Sen-

That excellent and
able paper, the Wilmington
completed its twenty-first year
last week. Of all the papers
that have been published in the
State since we have been
with them, the Star
takes the lead, and it now
stands without an equal in
North Carolina journalism.
Fearless, outspoken, a tireless
laborer for the good of the
whole people, it is a Star that
can be relied upon to lead its
readers aright. We tender our
heartiest congratulations to our
contemporary upon its
having the oldest as well as the
best of North Carolina dailies.
May its longest years of life be
ye t in the future, and as it in-
creases in age may its usefulness
influence strengthen and
grow larger and broader. We
do not see how the people of
North Carolina and the Demo-
party could do without
the Star, for in it both have a
strong friend and a zealous ad-
Together with its other
numerous admirers the
tor is indeed proud to note its
prosperity.
Had there ever been a doubt
in the mind of the Reflector no
to the hostility of the
to the Democratic party
the selection of the Chairman
of their Executive
Pitt county would have shown
us our mistake. B. F. Bryan,
the man the Prohibition-
have selected for this
and who is, by virtue
his office, manager and boss of
the party, has ever heretofore
been one of the most bitter and
partisan Republicans in Eastern
North Carolina. To his eyes
nothing was meaner than a Dem-
and were to be
left undone, no scheme left
tried, that would help to weaken
them. A Radical of the
iris he has always been, his whole
life work devoted to their
service. And it is only very re-
that this head of the Pro-
party has been convert-
ed to their faith, he, until a few
weeks ago, being an out and out
Republican. The change came
on gradually. First he was go-
to vote the Republican Na-
ticket and the balance
Prohibition, but now he has
hopped clean over into the arms
of the Third Party, although he
says it was the hardest thing he
ever tried to do in his life.
White men who do not wish to
see a return of the days of 1868,
and all its attendant horrors and
disgrace, will be wary and give
Mr. Bryan's party a wide berth.

ELEGY IN A
MEETING.
The that tells the hour of meeting
sounds,
And to the ball my comrades reel their
reckless way;
Tobacco juice and profanity likewise
As the crowd I press as best I
may.
But soon all enthusiasm and
A silence seems a sad of de-
feat.
Beneath these benches in the sawdust
laid.
Where heaves a snore from many a rag-
heap;
Fit emblems of the part by whisked play-
ed.
The ruling of the Grand Old Party
sleep.
Their present happiness and destiny ob-
Nor grandeur hear with a disdainful
smile,
Their history, though mayhap it be
pure.
Perhaps in this neglected spot it laid
Some mind that might the
have stilled;
Hands that the Treasury surplus might
have stayed,
And by the operation all our pockets
filled.
Some mute inglorious Stanton here may
rest,
Some Carnegie without Scotch acres
broad;
Some Ingersoll, not yet ad-
Some guiltless of the Star Route
fraud.
The applause of monopolies to
command,
The calls for honest government to de-

to claim that which they ne'er
could own
The trust, esteem or honor of mankind.
They kept their place amid the humbler
scenes of life,
In labor's ranks their sober hours were
spent;
But heeding every call to strife;
ever was lent.
And now to dumb a prey,
drunken sleep, unhonored and unwept;
We'll let them pass their heedless hours
away,
As though time, for them, no record ever
kept.
For thee, who mindful of the unhonored
drunk,
Dost these lines their artless tab re-
late;
Should you ere chance to such depths be
sunk,
And some kindred spirit should inquire
thy fate.
some hoary headed rod might
say,
Oft, have I seen him at the midnight
hour.
O'er a secret meeting holding fullest
sway,
And guiding its workings with magnetic
power.
Again, I've sat on some grand gala day,
Amid the feast where civil rights did
lest reign,
And watched him in his inimitable way,
Veil with pretended interest his proud
disdain.
One day I missed him from his accustom-
ed place,
the rostrum nearest the speakers
right;
Again in Convention did he leave the
race,
When fortune seemed to favor a more
hopeful
And next with policeman due in sad
ray,
saw him up the guard house stairway
borne;
Approach and read, if read thou canst,
the lay.
That what he has per-
won.
THE EPITAPH.
Here rests his head upon the guard house
floor,
A youth to honor and to fame unknown;
Of wealth he had enough but longed for
more
And Satan marked him for his own.
Seek not kind friend, his merits to dis-
close.
For that would prove indeed a hopeless
task.
But leave him in oblivion to repose.
With pillowed head upon an empty flask.
