McKinley ha found it neceasary to take notice of the fact that Judge Crisp is in Ohio and is delivering some telling speeches in behalf of the democratic ticket. In his speech at Cambridge be said: “Mr. Crisp, of Georgia, said the other night in Cincin ati that the new tariff law was the most un-American la.vever p ssed. Strange la gunge from the gentleman from Georgia. Think of a southern democrat talking about the tariff law being un- A:neri an. Ole thing is certain —it is not a confederate law. It hasn’t a touch of sec ioaaiism in it. It is for the south as well as for the north It is for tha new south, not fashioned after the plan of the old confederacy. The confederates put in their constitution when they unde took to destroy this government the British decia ation for free trnde.wnich is hat you find in the democratic platform of OMp to-day. The souths n Bourbons are ■eekiug again to dictate the industrial policy of this country. They cannot, they must not, do it. Their cause—the cause of cheip labor, of slave labor—perished with the co federacy.” Ju T ge Crisp is right. The McKinley tariff is un-American. It is so because it foste: s monopolies. It tend3 to divide the people into two great classes—the extremely rioh and the very poor. If it is contiuued in fa ce it will in time make the farmers as poor as the laborers they employ. They cannot prosper under a system which does not increase the prices of their products, but which does increase th 9 i r.ces of about everything they are compelled to buy for tiieir far ns or their households. The McKinley tariff forces them to psy from 20 per cent, to 50 per oenh more for the agricultural implements and machines which are manufactured in their own or neighboring states than is paid for the same article* in the far-away repub lics of South America. Mr. Blaine himself has said that the McKinley ta-iff does not open a market for another bushel <>f wheat or a .other pound of pork. A ariff is cer tai ly un-American which robs the farmers of their prosperity and tends to reduce them to the ojndition of the toil-burdened and ignorant p asautry of Europe. Maj. McKmlev says that ins tariff hasn’t a touch of sectionalism in it. Does the south wa it it? Does the north west want it? Is it not wholly in the interest of the great manufacturing monopolies of the eastern states? Had it not been for the protective system could An drew Carnegie have amassed a fortune of many millions cf do'lars in a comparatively few years? And Mr Carnegie is only one of thousands. And how many of Mr. Carnegie’s work men are better off fluanoially than they we.eadozan years ego? Maj. McKinley says that bis tariff tends to elevate the American workman—insures him higher wages and a better home, lint does it? A dLpatch in the New York Frcss, an ex treme republican publication, stated a day or two ago that Mr. Carnegie's manager: bad just decided to reduce the wages of bis workmen. And yet, according ,o Maj. Mo- Kinley, one of the chief purposes of the Mc- Kinley tariff is to protect the American laborer. In the face of facts, Maj. McKinley is having a hard time to convince the farmers of Ohio that the tariff which bears his name is helpful to them. He may call southern statesmen who at .ack it Bourbons, and as sert that they are trying to make labor cheap, but by such a course be will convince no one that Judge Crisp is wrong iu calling the McKinley ta.iff bill un-Amo. ican. The people all over the country, by their votes lost fall, said they did not want that tariff, and it looks as if they would say tbe same tbiug this fall. Tbo Keeley Cure. The death of the well-known orator and lawyer, Judge Balser Higginbotham, of Frankfort, Ind., last Monday, calls atten tion again to the Keeley cure for drunken ness. Judge Higginbotham was a patient of Dr. Keeley at Dwight, 111., at tho time of his death. He was a slave to drink and had determined to try the Keeley treatment. It is not stated that the treatment caused bis death, and It would not bo fair to aa sumo tuat it did. Tho Keeley cure has been quite gener ally discus!od i y the leadiug physicians of tho country receutly, and they do not havo much confidence in it. Dr. Dana of New York says that it was talked about a great deal by the doctors at the congress of American Neurologists, wbiob met in Washington last month, and that the opinion was that Dr. Keeley made use of a mind cure, and also used a narcotic for hypodermic injections. Dr. Keeley claims that his medicine is bi-chloride of gold, but Dr. Dana says that it is hardly possible that he uses that as a cure for drunkenness. Bi chloride of gold is not mentioned, it is said, as a drug in any medical book. There is very little confidence in the Keeley oure among physicians who nave acquired prominence iu their profession. One of the reasons is probably that Dr. Keeley keeps his cure a secret if be has, in fact, discovered one. He lias written noth ing about it in the medical journals. His purpose seems to be to make money out of it, and from a professional standp int his conduct is cot defensible. If be has dis covered a genuine remedial agent be ought to give it to the public, just as Dr. Koch gave his discovery for tubereolosis. There are millions of people suffering from alcoholism sad Dr. Keeley. it seems, intends to let them suffer. The New Y'ork Sun says be “is not a healer loyal to the noblest prlncinte and practice of the medical art, but of a proprietary medicine, who is mercilessly enriching him self at tbe expense of the sufferers of the dreadful disease of drunkenness.” Under the circums.ances It is cot to be wondered at that tbe doctors are shy of him. By way of revenge upon Frince Al Sir William Gordou-Cummiug of baccarat fame, who is rusticating in his native i.ealhs in tbe Hcottisn Highlands, has lodged a pro test wiib the municipal counoil uf K.glu agamstthe body appropriating money to be u-ed in tendering a public reception to the Duke and Duebess of Fife, daughter and •on in-law of tne I’riuce of Wait**. Not withstanding tbe fact that strenuous efforts Leva i eeu made to Induce Sir William to witudraw hit protest he remains firm in pressing it.

The cotton factors of this city are about as busy now as they cau possibly desire to be. They have all the business they can attend to. Their employes are hard at work trora an early hour in the morning until a late hour at ■ ight The local receipts of cotton are considerably large', in pro portion to the total receipts, than they were last year —larger, in fact, than in any pre vious year for a number of years. This is due to a great extent to dissatisfaction that, id many instances, has grown out of free* on-hoard shipments. A gi eat many merchants in the interior, who sold their cotton free on board last year, are sending their cotton to factors here this season to be sold. They believe they will realize better results by plaoing it in the hands ef factors, and they are not likely to be disappointed. Having it properly classed and offered in a market where there are many buyers, and consequently a great deal of competition, they are certain of get ting the highest market price for it. It would not be urprising if, eventually, much the larger part of the crop would be consigned to factors at the ports. It is absolutely necessary that the grow ers should get every cent for their cotton that can be obtained for it in the present condition of the market. At the prevailing prices there is no profit in raising cotton, and many growers will be fortunate if they get their expenses out of their crops. The very heavy receipts have undoubted ly had the effect ot depressing prices. And the low prices will continue unless the re ceipts fall off very noticeably. The anxiety to get cotton to market is due to the mis take erowers made last year in holding cot ton for higher prices. Leading aiiiancemen advised the holding of cotton, and those who acted upon the advice had cause to regret doing so. To advise farmers with respect to ths time of selling their ci ops is a rather risky thing to do. because there are so many unforeseen things which influence prices. Among well-informed factors, however, the belief prevails that the prices of cotton will be considerably higher before tbo sea son is over than they are now. The basis of this belief is that the crop will not be as large as last > ear’s, and that this will tie come apoareot within a few weeks. How ever, cottcn growers must judge for them selves whether to sell now or wait for a rise. If they act on their own judgment they will have only themselves to blame if they make a mistake. Fur Will Fly in tho Fassett Family. Candidate Fassett appear* to be in a fair way to realize upon that old scriptural adage, which s U forth that “a man's great est foes are those of bis own household.’ Under “circumstances over which he had no control” it doth appear from the evi dence that the Hon. J. Sloat Fassett early in life involuntarily came Into possession of a cousin several degrees removed. Possibly Mr. Fassett now wishes that he had re moved several degrees further away while he was about it. Be that as it may, the cousin met tho candidate tbe other fine day. According to his statement the coudn chased the candidate a considerable distance for the purpose of meeting him and “talking over family matiers.’’ Evidently the candidate was not right ripe for that sort of a discussion just then. Bo far from a hearty and healthy participation in that ever joyous diversion the callous and soul less candidate turned hit face irrelevantly away from tho fascinating flow of domestic conversation and gazed vacantly through his car window across the broad expanse of the tufted turnip fields and away o’er the lea, bo to speak. Anon he would then turn to the political followers with whom he was surrounded and make desultory remarks having no sort of bearing upon “them family matters. ” Therefore Cousin Oatcake Fassett vows that he never was snubbed so hard in his life. It riled him and made him hot under the collar. Hence b-1 o-o-d! Metaphorically speaking Cousin Oatcake is loaded for b’ar, and has a political cheese knife up each sleeve aud a further supply down his back and in both of his capacious bootlegs. They are ground down keen and they are tno is'us anxious to get at somebody's vitals. Still the cousin admits that when he went to meet the candidate he only did it because he was proud of his relative who had received the republican nomination for governor of New Y'ork. No desire to help him in any way seems to have entered the simple old farmer’s head. Only curiosity. That’s all. After he had been duly introduced in the orthodox way and promptly claimed kin greatly to the astonishment of tho candi date he was in turn sorely surprised that “them family matters” didn't at once claim his relati ve’s attention. Yet Cousin Oatcake manifested some iittle discernment and disc imination. All tbe par tisan ser vitu ie of tho candidate's long n >liti cal record failed to attract his fond relative. It was the fact that he was a party nominee for a big office that inspired Cousin Oat cake to “feel proud of him.” Considering that his new-found cousin was only the nom inee of the Republican party the old man's family pride seems to be rather excessively susceptible to the excilarating influences of excitement. Nevertheless he very em phatically declares that a candidate for governor who will not stop short in his canvass amid a crowd of politicians aud strangers to “talk over family matters” is “too mean and unprincipled to hold the office.” Ergo he’s “agin him.” When a man starts up in tbe world he usually acquiree a great many new rela tives and friends that be never heard of before who are eager to climb upon his back and soar along with him. Candidate Fas ett is by no means the first ambitious man to be so affl cted.

McKinley has made 100 speeches since his nomination for governor, and in every one of them has uttered the barefaced lie that for eigners are made to pay our taies by the op *r ation of bis tariff law. And yet, ons little bit of e idenee such as any importer can cite over throws the whole fabric of unsupported false hood. Running Well on a Clean Record, from the Indianapolis Sentinel (Dent.). Gov Boles is making a magnificent canvass in lowa His meetings are the largest ever held by any party In the st-ite, and bis able discus sions of state and national issues are evidently producing a profound impress on upon the peo pile Tue record of bis administration is an ex cellent one. and is not seriously attacked by the republicans.

And so, too, he died, died wh n the tide w. nt out at "r-ak of day; and out on toe bosom uf the tide had swept away, toward a great, un lighted sea, a human soul.

"X say. can you hear an ordinary conversa tional tone of voice?” asked the judge, pitching his voice a iittle higner. “Wed. it bothers me some,” said Doe. “Well*" said Judge Davis in a low tone, “1 guess we will have to excuse* you if you can t tear well. ” Low as the tone was Doe heard it and started away with a pleased smile twinkling about his face. "Wait, Mr Doo,” said Judge Davis. “I guess if you can hear tha’ you can uear weHenou.hto serve as a juror. We cannot excu-e you." And John Doe collapsed and fell into the nearest chair. Fables of Oar Own Time. A Man of Experience in Business, says tho San Francisco Examiner, was awaiting the judgment of the Court in an action for dam ages which hn ha I brought against a railway company. Tbe door opened and the judge of the court entered, “Well.” sa : d lie, “I am going to decide your case to-day. If I should decide in your favor I won'er how you wouii express your satisfac tion?" “Sir," said the Man of Experience and Busi ness “I sh utd risk your anger by offering you one-half tbe sum awarded.” “Did 1 say I was going to decide that case?" said the udge abruptly, as if awakening from a dream. "Dear me. how absent-minded I am! I mean I have already decided it, and judgment has been entered for the fnll amount that you sued fur.” “Did I sav I would give you one-half?” said the Man of Experience iu Business coldly. "Dear me, how near T came to be mg a rascal. I mean that I am greatly obliged to you.” * * * * * * * A dead Boodler wa? awakened by an Angel anJ told to prepare bimself for trial. "Before whom.'” he asked, rqhbing his eyes and yawning. ‘ Tho Ruler of the Universe,” the Angel re plied, in a low, reverential tone. “I deny the legality of the tribunal." said the Boodler, with animation “Please ba so good as to take me to Judge Murphy.” "Excuse me," said the Angel; “you'll get there soon enough: but I can’t take you. There would be nothing left of roe but an odor of burnt feattiers. Jud.e Murphy is dead, too.” ♦ * * A Hurled-back Allegation, which, after a brief rest, had again sia ted forth upon its mis sion of mischief, met an Inkstand in midair. "How did the honorable Member whom you represent know that I was coming agtuu?'" in quired the Huried-back Allegation “He did not,” the Inksta and replied; “he isn't at all forehanded at repartee." ••Why, then, do you come, things being even when be had hurled me back?” "He wa iteri to be a little ahead?" And tho Inkstand hurried forward to per form its immemorial work iu the bands of legislation. End cf the Summer. Ella Wheeler Wilcox in the Independent, Tne birds laugh loud and long together When fashion's followers speed away. At the first cool breath of autumn weather. Wbv, this is the time, cry the birds, to stay! When the deep calm sea and the deep sky over Both look their passion through the sun kissed space, Asa blue-eyed maid and her bine-eyed lover Might each gaze into the other's face.

You find when the butt rflie? p an for flying (Before the thrush or blackbird goes); Y'ou see some day by the water 8 edges A brilliant border of red and black. And then off over the hills and hedges It flutters away on the summer's track. The shy little sumacs, in lonely placss. Bowed all summer with dust and heat, Like clean clad childrenwitbra.u washed faces, Ar - i.i-essed in scarlet from li ‘ad to feet And never a flower had the boastful summar lu all the blossoms that deck'd her sod, So royal bued as that late comer, Tbe purple enum of the golfieu rod. Some chill gray dawn you note with grieving That the King of Autumn is ou his way. You see with a sorrowful slow believing How the wanton woods have gone astray. They wear t e *tain of hold cares es Of riotous revels with old King Frost; They dazzle all eye* with their go geous dresses, Nor care that their green young leave, are lost. A wet wind blows from tbe ea=t one morning, T.ie wood's gay garments 1 ok draggled out. You hear aaound and your bear; takes warning The birds are planing their winter route. They wheel and settle and soold ad wrangle. Tneir tempers are ruffled, their voices Ion*; Theu whirr—and away in a feathered tangle To fade In the south like a passing cloud. ENVOI.

An exhibit of the pro ions stones of North Carolina is attracting great attention at the southern interstate exposition at Raleigh. In t ie collect on are cervls, in tne form of emer alds, c rvsoberyls and aquamarines. They are of a very ncu green color, and sell, it is said, for the pr.ee ot diamonds. There are also gar n ts of almadine c lors, others of a bright c lerry red, and ati 1 other* of a cinnamon color. Cams cut from rutile are also con spicuous varying in color from red and brown to as: ining back. They are f”imd in tbe counties of Bu ke, Catawba, Alexand r. and Iredell. Sapphires and rubies in limited quan tity are also fouud in the Western North Caro lina mountains. There is no regular market yet for any of these stones, but northern cepitalists are putting up works and sinking shafts in Alexander county with a view to turning the new industry to account. Jeweler' sav that the North Carolina stuues can he cut into tasteful ornaments. White preachers cannot move a colored con gregation us the negroes cau and do. In Nov ember, 18 0, when the general convention of the Episcopal church met ut Rienmond, the pastor of t e largest colored congregation there—the Baptist church, which bad bought and owned is ; a tor—courteously invitt-d some of the bishops to a dress them. Tne choice fell on Bishop Willia us of Connecticut, and Bish p Clarke of Rhode Island, both extremely eloquent preachers, a id tuey stood up before 3,000 hearers and did their best to rouse them. Tne colored people sat silent, respectful and admiring be lore tne two prelates, but gave no out ward sign of inter *st. Presently the pastor arose, thanked his visitors in the name of his fiock, arid then went on to make application of what tney had heard. His flr*t Words were like a breat hof wind over a field of ripening grain. Every head responded. Tnen came signs, groans, and shouts as tne great deep of human feeling was broken up, and 3.001 people were in tears, an l in the throes of sympathy. “I tell you,'” said one of the bishops afterward, in narra :ig his experi ence, *T wasadiamed of myself when I watched tho power of the colored preacher and recog nized my own failure.” Mrs. Thcrman, the wife of Jud?e Allen O.

The only p rsons present at the death scene were her husband, her son, Allen W. Thurman, Mrs. Gov. McCormick of Now York, a and Miss Nina Thur nian, Allen W. T mrinan's oldest daughter. Mr> Thurman hai b *en unconscious for forty eight hours. The scene was an affecting one, but Judge Thurman bore up much better under t! e or leal than it was thought he would. He was grateful that his aged p rtner should be perini ted to die in so p aceful an i painless a ma iner. Mrs. Thurman was universally loved. A great point iu her caaraeter was her remark able benevolence. She was continually caring for the sck and needy, and was always found ready to c ntribute to a worthy cause.
