Politicians on both sides are for ; some time yet likely to assume, in ' the public utterances, at least, that i the present political division is to I ; continue, the one declaring that the It* ' i L j JUepilDJlCans pai ty Will I'UUIC imu nest presidential election with unbroken front, and the other ignoring any J danger of division in the Democratic ranks. But whoever will consider the composition of these parties will see that this cannot be, and that a new political alignment is inevitable. Although the lite issues of the time have been more and more to the front and the first of them, the quesof tariff", determined the result of the last election, jet the political division was not a true one. That is to saj that the habits, prejudices and affections growing out of the previous alignment -on the slavery question and its issues to which its bloody settlement gave rise, still largely controlled the division of parties. The Republican party had on its side large numbers, held by its prestige and its. memories, who would not have been with it on the naked question of protection or free trade, while the Democratic party was supported by many wnose true piace on toe economic question was with Republicans. The prestige of the Republican party is now gone; the memories which constituted such an element of its strength cannot hold it to geiher in the face of a decisive de feat which brings into the issue of practical legislation the the vital questions of time. The Republican party as it was is as dead as the federal party or the whig party. But the live element of the Republican party remains, and must find political expression just as the live element in the federal and the whig party found other political expression. Protectionism is not dead. It has suffered a reverse, but it has the - -airmnrft nf 1qs& mcLdeeplv habits of though t^ffif^powerful money interests which will enable it to revive and renew the struggle. While the element of the Republican party which has adhered to it despite protectionism and because of its prestige and memories will now divide on the live questions of the hour, and the tendency of disintegration which has shown itself in the rise of the People's party in the West and in individual changes and abstention from voting in other sections. will have free play, the protection element will seek new combinations. To it the prestige and memories of the Republican party were but a useful adjunct, a convenient shell. It crept into the Republican party on the death of the old whig party because that offered the most favorable opportunity to secure subsides and protective duties and special priviliges, not that in opposition to the encroachments of slavery there was anything germain to protectionism. It LIU J L iiiis ia>x?ucu pcusxuus oiujjjjj to keep up taxes which yielded pri vate profit. It would ally itself to the "Sold South" and vote pensions to Confederate veterans if it could thereby have its way: and now that the prestige and memories of the Republican party have proved powerless to save it, it will naturally seek alliance with the protective element in the party that has come to power. The law of political life requires two great parties. Any third party must ere long swallow one of them or become a mere adjunct of one or the other of the two real contestants. And so the death of one great party inevitably involves the disruption of the other, for a dual division cannot give expressions to all causes of difference. and external pressure beiug removed these must show themselves within party lines. Thus the "Solid South" kas only existed through pressure of theJRepubliean party. The fear of that party gone it must split. And so the mcongruos elements which the Democratic party has hei(l together in the North so long as it was a party of opposition, must part company when it accedes to power and essays the task of legislation and administration. Already, and in advance of the assumption of power, this line of cleav age is beginning to show itself. Ic was the manifest failure cf the attempt to mix oil and water which called such wide attention to the Crisp incident at the Reform Club dinner. Tom L. Johnson's outspoken declaration that the radical wing was on to}) and will no longer submit to the (notation 01 sugar coated protectionists" within the party, voiced the spirit of that aggressiveelement. in the Democratic ranks which has behind it the strength of a great principle and is now flushed with victory?that new i Democracy, which is in reality the | revival of Thomas Jefferson's Repubi licanism. Mr. Cleveland's power and J influence ma}T for a while prevent ' j open rupture, but the opposition bei twecn the two factions of the Demo! cratic party must become more and ' more pronounced, and transfer the i real battle between the spirit of pro lection and the spirit of free trade into the Democratic ranks. As the I i contest goes on, the conservative | wing will absorb support from the protectionist element of what was j the Republican part}', and the radij cal wing becoming more and more I radical, will gather to itself from the j Peoples party and non-protective | Republicans until finally when the I split between them takes open shape. ; C >"> U LlVTOj IW xv^AViuiubv ^ j cessors of the Federalists and I?e! publican parties of the beginning of the century, and of the "Whig and Democratic parties of a later period, , will again draw a clear division in our politics, in a party of protection i and a "party of avowed free trade; a ; party of special privileges and a j party of equal rights. These are the two coming parties j for they are the two natural parties. : What names they will assume or will be imposed on them cannot of course j before told, but it is unlikely that | 'Ttepublican" will be one of them. That has served twice in our history, : and it is not likely during this gener- i ation to be called on again. It is i more likely that at first, at least, both will assume the Democratic name. But the party that represents the ; j idea of equal rights must go farther i ; than its predecessors ever dreamed ; of going, for beneath ail the issues of j our politics today lies the great ques- j lion of the distribution of wealth ! j which, vaguely styled the labor ques- ! | tion, confronts the civilized world, j And the growing element in our j political thought today is the single ! tax idea. That alone has a definite j aim and a consistent policy capable J of being carried to its ultimate end. j and a principle that arouses the j J i :?___ wrui 1 ! ^i^l^)^o^ouUva"d demostrati&n it" has shown its power in the election of 1801. The next great surprise that awaits politicians will be when a clear issue is made upon it. "When that shall be is a question of time i and seeming accident, but it is along ! the line drawn by it that the greatest battle of our politics must ere long be waged.

Hidden away in the crypt of each skull is the night blooming cereus of God, the wonderful brain with its fine filament of fancy and imaginat'on, its broad, beautiful petals of reason, its sweet perfume of faith, and to be reverent toward it, to treat it as a pure and holy thing, and to do nothing that would tarnish or mar God's holiest handiwork is what we are here for.

Not that the first drink makes you a drunkard, but the appetite is sure to increase. You may think you'will master the poisonous beverage, but if you continue you will soon be its servant.

It is good, when the week is ended. to look back upon its business and its toils, and mark wherein we have failed of our duties or come short of what we should have done. The^ close of the week should be tq - each i one of us like the close of our liveg. Everything should be adjusted, with the woild and with our God, as if we were about to leave the one and apn pear before the other.

Standing in the door of a saloon one freezing, windy night, with the bright light pouring lull j upon him, he looked the picture of desolation and misery. ' Hello, ragbag!" shouted one of the boisterous crowd at the bar. "Come and have something good to thaw you out."

Shall we accept this awful admonitiouTf This speech was Prom a citizen at the end of the coun ter, who seemed slightly fuller than the rest of the company; in fact, just full enough to be as solemn as an awl, and as sentimental as some wildeyed wooer of the muses.

The tramp had passed the crowd and was entering the back room when ae stopped, turned back and walked up to them.

A shouting, excited crowd soon surrounded it. rhay were more than willing to render every assistance in extinguishing the flames; but all saw the effort was useless?the building must be left to its fate. Listen! Above the noise of the roaring fire, above the cries of the agitated populace, a woman's shriek of despair rang out: "My child! Oh, my child! it will be burned alive!" Strong men turned pale, and tvomen fainted. It was too true; in j ^ y ? j i some unaccountame way an imam had been left in the family sleeping room on the second floor. The house had been abandoned; it was wrapped in flames. None dare enter it now, for already a fierce blaze was leaping up the stairway. Out from the rear of the crowd ran a shaggy form and cried in a clear, steady roice: "In which room is the child?" "The Northeast!" shouted somebody. In an instant the man parted into the open poor of the doomed dwelling. "He's too late!" 4 They'll both be burned!" "God bless him! whoever he is." Tuese and similar ejaculations went up from the spectators. Then all is stillness, save the roaring wind, and the hissing and snapping of the merciless fire.

TTTV li tiwy ft vv The good people of Coon Hollow^ N. C., are greatly exercised over the disappearance of Henry Simpson, colored, his wife and two sons, who reside near the edge of Bullfrog pond, four or five miles from Coon Hollow. Unusually cold weather has prevailed in * Bastern North Carolina. Bullfrog pond, which is fed by subterranean springs, covers an area of only an acre and has never been known to be frozen until this winter. A week ago while the oUce of every stream for miles a^*?o , was congealed to a depth or fifteen inches, the waterdp^dullfrog pond were absolutely free Jrom ice. During the afternoon of that day the largest flock of wild geese ever seen jid that portion of the State same ?^^-^d in^ By^ ^freak of nature, on that j night, for thelTfttetime in its history, j . Bullfrog pond was?r^fi^j^er? aQd the next morning the whole flocE>Qt, 1 geese were, to all appearances, helpless prisoners, bound one to another i i i* . l . # . .1 Dy an unyielding case 01 ice several inches in thickness. When Henry Simpson discovered this state of affairs he rushed among the geese, followed by his wife and two sons, and began, as they supposed, the work of extermination. But the negroes had made a woeful mistake. An old grey headed gander, the patriarch of the flock, gave a loud squawk, which was immediately answered by his lieutenants from every quarter of the pond. Simultaneously more than three thousand wings began to flap. In an instant the geese arose above the tree tops, carrying with them a solid cake of ice and the Simpson family. From that hour to this not the slightest tidings ha\'6 been received from the unfortunate negroes, aod their fate will doubtless ever remain a mystery. Simpson's taking away gathers pe culiar sadness from the fact that he leaves behind an aged grand mother, who is entirely dependant upon the charity of neighbors for support. August A.
