There has been for some time a

idopted by which minorities in the

various counties should have their

•roportionate voice in all Stale

md District conventions, and, in

leferoi ce to the fair anl just seu-

Iment, the committee, while real-

i '.tng that it had no power to add

o or vary the "Plan of Organiza-

tion" as adopted by tin last State

* nvenlioii and bind tin- people to

i s observance, itnnnimott-tat« committee to at onco put

nimself in touch with the county chairman.

All township and county conven-

tions should be held at such titnns

md places as will afford to each

inember of the party an opportu-

nity for full and fair discussion. It is essential to success that ani-

mosities should not be engendered

or dissensions fostered, and no

one should be given even the sem-

blance of an excuse for refusing to

support ihe Democratic party, the

supremacy of which is s.> neces-

sary to secure good government

and an honest administration of

public affairs. To divide now is to

turn over the State to the enemy.

Let us stand together as in the

past and thus perpetuate the rule

of the Anglo-Saxon.

who is well known in Rowan, passed through here Monday night enroute for Raleigh. In an inter- view with him regarding his posi- tion on the third party, he said •■ "I am thoroughly opposed to it. It will be ruinous to the country— tiiis is both my private and public opinion on the matter. I am a straiuhtout Democrat and I wish to be put on record as such. I watched with interest the first issues of the Watchman and the Progressive- tanner after the St Louis convention expecting them to champion the third party, but

they were mor» reticent than ever

—nothing M to their real posi-

tion could bo learned. As to Col.

Polk, I have been noting his

movements s.itli interest, and I

1'istiind hi in; it appears, however,

that ho is incline I tow irds tin

third party. Tiie Colonel is in

Raleigh now and I may call on

him and learn his true position.

Aw to the St. Louis platform, tak-

ing i' as ,i whole, it is a n.iserabh

affair. The plank calling for tin

ownership of railroads, telegraph-, etc., by the government is simply

aioiistrous. It would maku the'

government liable to millions and

millions of dollars in case of losses

or damages accruing, and would

place in the hands of the party in

power the appointment of more

than 12,000 officers over and abo»e

tin we now appointed. This would

be giving absolute control of the

government to the party in power

and they would lie mighty big

f• -ola to give it up. In fact theie

would be no wav to wrest them

from power except at the point ot

th ' ayonet. I am an alliancciiiai.

them up for the difference in tl.< platforms. A third party caunoi

p issibly ele>4 its candidates. Al

that it cin do will be to lei -u

one or tho other parties for seven I

years.

"As to Hill and Cleveland, I am

afraid neither of them would make

an available candidate. It would,

perhaps, lie better to nominate

some other man."

The above in substance is what

was said by Mr Leazer, who seem-

ed to be earnest in making the-e

statements.

for it to do except to do right It

must be exactly fair and just in its

must deal with all of its people in

cannot do. It cannot abandon

THE SITUATION OF POLITICS

Stanwilli Landmark-.

it is getting aloug time for tin camp to be astir. It is but little over two months from this date to the day fixed for the Democratic State convention—May 18. With- in this time county executive com mil tees are to meet and primary and county conventions are to as semhto. To the end that the am- olest notice may be had, the coun ty committees should get togethei within the next three weeks—or a' (lie outside four—and fix tbeii dates fdr primary meetings. Thc situation in- Noith Carolina is x

little critical this year and full no- tice need to be given of everything that is preposed to be done.

As to the situation—why is it- critical? There is a firebrand in our politics this year in the natute of a third party. Within two weeks after the national Demo- cratic party has placed its tieket in the field, this third party will meet to nominate candidates. It is sup- posed to have some strength in North Carolina. It will have the benefit of the influence of Col. L. L. Polk, and it is calculated and intended to distract Democrats. It has no hope, of course, of carry- ing the State, but if 19,000 men who have heretofore ordinarily voted the Democratic tieket shou'd go off with it the election will fall into tbe hands of the Republicans If the Democratic electoral ticket is dost in the State, tbe State ticket is likely to be lost also. Tbe people will doubtless passe and ask themselves whether or not they can-afford this; we bring it to their attention now in order that they may be considering it

A Writer ii.--.ni... 1 r4onal brutality, which is a far more common cause for coin- plaint against the titled spouses ol American wives than is altogether com- prehended, there aro two great sources of unhappineas always lying in wait to destroy the peace of snch nnions. These dangerous elements are the gaming ta ble and the demimonde. High play at the clubs or at Monte Carlo forms the recognized diversion of society men in Europe. The sums staked and lost often in a single evening are of startling pro- portions. Ten thousand dollars is looked npon as a mere trifle to squander nt ran ■ letto or baccarat. The titled hnslmnd of a wealthy American lady lost ten times that sum at Monte Carlo MM months ago.

1 had often heard it stated as n fact that American men are looked irpon as porsimonions and timid players in tho clnb life of Paris. "They want to stop when they have lost some $2,000 01 S3.000," was the remark of a French so ciety man on this question, "while we, on the contrary, consider that we have at that point only jnst began." The re- cent catastrophe of the young Dnkc d'Uzes, who has been put by his family under legal control and has been sent out to travel in Africa on account of the rapid and thorough way that he was squandering his fortune, is one of the latest instances of the kind on record.

As to the women of the demimorde. ! the hold that certain sirens of this class have over the minds and hearts of their ' adorers is a well recognized element of I danger in European marriages. To be ' gin with, such little affairs cast 110 dis- credit on the gentleman. On tbe con- 1 trary he is thonght to have lent u lji«t»>r to his career, such as is given by the possession of a fauuius horse or dog. if he is known to have taken charge of a celebrated actrtva or dancer. He shows himself freely in public with the chosen Of his heart, just as though that choice 1 had been ratified by the law and by the church.

NEW VORI;. March M. IhlRllu the usual great congregation that fills Asso tiation hall every Snnilay Mr. Dixon re- viewed this moriing the recent hanger riots in Europe : nd their kindred mani- festations in America, pix'ccding the st-r- laon of the day. He said:

Famine, banger, desperatioE and crimo seem to be the order of the day with th.) nnder masses of U.e Old World. Each (lay's events confirms more dejply iu the mind of the thonghtfnl stndcut of our ■ tivilization the idea that society is being j driven by a resistless power toward n crisis of "tremendous import. From tha present outlook it is exceedingly doubt- ful if a forcible elash between the masses and the classes can be avoided many years longer, unless tho mling spirits in our gov. ining aristocracies of blood and money display new powers of discern- ment and adjustment. Will the govern- ing forces of tho society that is awake to this fact and adjust themselves? Wc

shall see. Certainly the signs of the times in the

social world give us food for serious thought.

TAMrNE, RIOT, CRUIC

ln Kussia, famine—grim, gannt and horrible beyond the power of the pros- perous to conceive—ravages and lays waste a territory covering over 400,000 square miles containing a population of 30,000.000. The grain crop of the Cau- casus for the past season was abundant, anil yet millions are starving.

In Germany, for three days the city of Berlin is terrorized by surging crowda of unemployed hungry men. They are charged upon by -the police and dis- persed, but they seemed to rise out of the earth from a hundred quarters at once, and for three days the senseless, pathe'. ie riot of hunger held its dismal tearnival of violence. Before the gates of the imperial palaco their cry arose. Mounted police drove them back. But the emperor heard the cry, and he will hear it again lieforc he is much older.

The news comes from Vienna of hun- dreds and thousands ont of work, hungry and rioting.

From Franco wc hear the echo of dy- namite bombs, the source of which is not

in dor. ht. England is threatened with the great-

est strike in the history of the labor war, in which 000,000 men may be directly engaged and millions of workingmen necessarily affected.

Illl IMIII AND CRIME HERE. In free and prosperous America we

are not lacking in signs of distress. The other day James Caasidy, a brick-

laver, hungry and out of work, applied to police headquarters and anted to be arrested that he might have food and shelter. Refused the favor of an arrest because ho had committed no crime, he stepped outside, smashed the window of the building and was duly arrested. He wanted to bo imprisoned for two months, after which he thinks he can live at his trade.

A man by the name of Frank England broke into the hoose of Rev. Frank Clark the other day in broad daylight to get something to oat for a starving wife.

In the rains of the Hotel Royal, Joseph Rossiter fainted twice from starvation while trying to earn a few pennies for a starving family.

Within the past few days in Brooklyn there was found a whole family, with one dead, all the rest sick and the head of the household dying, that had been five days witht.ut food, fuel, sufficient clothing or medical attendance.

A farmer in Alabama the other day. when offered for his cotton a price far below the cost of production, drove his team out on the bridge and dumped his crop into the river.

POLITICS, OR DEEPER? Men and brethren, say what you will

about tho causes, these are awful facts. They are facts freighted with a world- wide sorrow. Read their lessons.

1. When such phenomena appear un- der the czar of Russia and the stars and stripes we are driven to the conclusion that even the forms of political govern- ment are today mere incidents to the world's social disease. The secret of the trouble must be deeper than mere poli- tics—there is something radically rotten at the heart of civilization itself.

2. The church of Christ should hasten to know that this is the question of ques- tions of the age it is called now to face. If the ihur.ii has no solution of such a problem 1 honestly believe that as an organic power the church must sorely perish in the Twentieth century. 1 8. Should not oar men of wealth read in these signs anew the deep obliga- tions laid upon them to rescue and save society? Can we feast and dance and banquet while our brethren starve? Is it nothing to you? No man has the right to do whai he pleases with what he may possess. Ho only has the right to do what he ought to do.

MANHOOD! How Lost! How Regained!

THE AGNOSTIC DILEMMA.

; Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the wonla of eternal life.—John vi. GS.

; Colonel Ingersoll says: "Now, under- stand me; I do not say there is no God. I do not know. As I told you before, I have traveled but very little, only in this world." This expression, "I don't know," is now tho colonel's chief stock in trade when be is confronted with any of the jserious problems of life. Wo recognize this as a distinct gain in his case. He used to know. During the process of years he has at least begun to discover the dim outlines of his own ignorance. The knowledge of his ignorance has at least increased. When a man begins to recognize the fact that he does not know, he is on tho threshold of knowing. It eeems unfortunate, however, that in the colonel's case he seems to be perfectly satisfied with ignorance. He seems pos-

... u.-> ..u- tact that he ..„. ......v.-. He rejoice- tiid boasts

i mamin If ■ man knows nothing about a subject, why should he talk so much about ii? If ignorance is so pro- prqfound. why boast so of ignorance?

MtST KNOW. AH knowledge is partial. We recognize

that fact The Christian does not pre- tend to know the last that may be said about the great problems of religion. "Wo know in part," cries tho great Apostlo. The part wc know is the way marked oat by the compass. It is not nerensary to know tho mysteries of the depths of tho sea to be able to navigate the ocean. Wo need simply to under- stand the laws of navigation, the use of the compnes. When presented witii this tremendous issue, however, vt tho wtrr Of life, it is not sufficient to say. "I rton't know/' when the means of knowledge mvro been given t» every man. To an- swer the great problems of life with "1 llon't know" and to be content vrith such X remit.

meeting. I do not see how it could sur- vive the first exposition of its purpose* j and faiths. Mr. Frank, the exponndci ! of this new religion, made this sublime declaration of faith on behalf of his fol- I lowers: "Wc believe in the superhuman, purposive potency of nature! Wo look npon tho universe as the involution ot the divino potentialities. The all poten lial is within all and working through •JL What this ultimate, divine poten- tiality is we do not claim to be fully able :

to comprehend." O weary, sin sick souls! Weary, sorrowing, despairing men and women, wrestling with the realities of a stern life! Come, here you will find comfort. Words, words, words!

' Wind, wind! Upon tho other tiand, listen, "We be-

lieve in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, and in the for- giveness of sins!" Take your choice. If there is comfort in playing npon words and in the manipulation of sound you will find it in the agnostic articulation of air set forth as the creed of this re- markable conglomeration of men who

"do not knmc." RRTREAT ANT) DESPAIR.

Believe me, agnosticism is retreat Agnosticism is despair. Agnosticism is weakness. To content one's self with "I don't know" is to fall in the Slough of

the Despond of Pessimism. No man can accomplish iu thio world tho work the; nature has Ltted him for, however bi liaut his genius, who holds to such . creed. His life is in itself necessarily wreck. The soul of mau must have l wings of faith, else it cannot rise, 'i soul of man is not made of matter, a . it most have the spiritual and eter. elements of life, else it cannot brct... It must dio without this power.

Yon must know that wheu Mr. Gaston was governor, in 1875. he hon ored Mr. Collins with a staff appoint ment as judge advocate general. Tlie general wore his uniform, enjoyed tho festivities at which memliers of the staff were always welcome, and in fact thought well of tho whole arrangement. As years wore on he began to tire a lit- tle of the title, and when lie went to Washington us a Massachusetts repre- sentative lie found it a 800*00 of great cnibarr.i intent.

Itsiioul.l ; .; i>e imdststoud the worn en at the I ,1 are patients. Th"y art guests. Tlnty are the wives of men wht can afford i.ic luxury of their presence. They are healthy, loyal, loving womer —the only bright spot almut the p.x.1 ol the five- porches. The women palienu do not come to the "shot tower" fol their treatment. They live in boarding houses or in private families, and lht physicians go there to treat them, just as th. y en to tho hotel or boarding house to great a man nation! who is too ill tc. venture tmutOOrs,

The worn- n patients are never Been or. the streets. The men paliouts novel meet them. If they go out for an lioui toward the close of the treatment thev are supposed by all st rangers to be resi- dents of tho town. Names, faces, plac* of residence—nothing of them is known, so far as cau be prevented. They have no bichloride of gold club.

There are few whisky patients among the women. Now and then one comes, hut of the 140 women all bnt 6even art victims of morphine.

The I'oLluiHii nn.l th* Porter. When a famous newspaper correspon-

dent asked Air. Pullman about the giv- ing of tips to porters on his cars, ho re- plied that the porters were well paid. that all the good men wanted could be pad at the salarjes given, that fees paid by foolish people often demoralized the service, ana that he wished the people would stop it. What a revelation to. a long suffering public!

Why has Mr. Pullman been- silent through all these years? Millions of dol- lars have passed into the hands of the bowing, scraping, obsequious autocrat of the sleeping car. and yet Mr. Pullman made no sign. His porters are well paid, are they? And the lip givers demoralize the service, do they? If authorized tc call for witnesses and papers, we will undertake to prove that tho moat de- moralized and uncomfortable set of peo- ple who have anything to do with these parlors dedicated to Morpheus are those patrons who neglect to tip the presiding genius. '

He is an imp of darkness in his con- ception of petty annoyances. He can make you reel smaller than a dwarf in Lillipnt and madder than a bear with a lacerated' head. He can sec to it with' »nemng accuracy that the con Vcr-icm-vs thai you desire are wanting and that the Inconvenience* that you seek fo avoid are all present in their most aggravat- ing form. Fail to tip the porter, and it would be better for your peace of wind and your comfort of body that you were quartered in the baggage car or had re- mained a| home. People are made nor- ry and poorer by demoralizing Mr. Pull-

man's service, bnt the demoralUatioq will be carried right along as a mattei of self defense,—Detroit Free Press,
