The person who earned the appellation of being the most patient xl an who ever lived, in the nineteenth chapter and 23iti verse of the Book of Job, said "Oh that rny words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book 1" It is possible, in regard to his words, that the wish "that they were printed In a book," would not have been made had not Job intended correcting bis own proof sheets; for it is not the least encouraging to a writer to see his thoughts entirely changed by typographical errors. In my "last letter there were a great many mistakes in the printing. It is due to myself to call attention to them in the order in which they occur.

In the first paragraph, there are three errors. The vowels a and that are in the words Israel and Israelii should not have been used as dipt thongs. Ovei the vowel in both words there ought always to be a diieresis. It denotes "that two successive vowels are not to be pronounced as a diphthong."

Not. 10. (Spe cial Dispatch.) The supreme Court rendered an important decision to- day in a liquor case, reversing the judgment of the United States Circuit Court for the Northern Dis trict of California. The appeal was in the case of a saloon keeper named Christen sen, who had been refused license by the Police Commissioner! of San Francisco under a city ordi nance giving the Commisioners discretion to grant or refuse licenne. Christensen claimed this discretionary power to be in violation of the United States Constitution.

The Court declaring that liquor selling being demorizaling and dangerous to tbe community may very properly be regulated by the exclusion of certain persons from participating therein, and that selling by the drink may be prohibited altogether if necessary to protect the commu nity.

It is not improbable that we shall have a reform of the McKinley tariff law by the next Congiess.

ELECTION OF NINETY-TWO. How tlie Alliance Proposes to Conduct the Campaign Kan 8 as City, Nov. 12. In its weekly issue the Farmers' Advocate, the official paper of the Farmers Alliance or People's party o' Kansas, has the following to say of the future of the party: "We shall at once commence to marshal the hosts of the people for the conflict of 1892. In this great work there are many prejudices to be overcome.

Sectional lines must be abolished. Interests which are identical must be brought together, and the combined forces of the agricultural and laboring classes must be consolidated against the forces of corporations, monopolies, trusts, syndicates and moneyed aristocrats, who have for years feasted upon the substance of the people. "The coming contest will not take place between the Northern and Southern sections of our country. The interests of the people othe West and South are identical, and their political forces must be consolidated against the power of corporate greed. It has been, and is, the holy mission of the Farmers Alliance to subdue sectional prejudices, which have been kept up by professional politicians in the interest of monopoly.

It is full time for this nation to become united." Prominent People. Hon. F. M. Simmons, late of New-berne, has moved to Winstonto follow his profession, the law.

Col. L. L. Polk has lost his gold-headed walking cane. Just think of the great head of the poorest and most oppressed people on earth flourshing a gold-headed cane.

He ought to carry a plain Democratic hickory. Mr. Thomas H. Bam baa secured a half -interest in the Southern Farmer, published in Raleigh. Mr.

P. C. EnnisB, the present business manager of the paper, being the other associate. the future the management and control of the Southern Farmer will be conducted by Bain Enniss. It is a good paper, and North Carolina farmers should give it good support.

State Secretary Beddingfield says the last Farmers' Alliance was organized in Dare county. There are now ninety-six county Alliances and two thousand one hundred and seventy sub-Alliances. The total mem-berbhip, male and female, as be estimates, is ninety-two thousand. S. J.

The teacher is Miss Gussie Shuford. It is not known to me, at the present writing, whether or not "the appalling sound of the birch" will be heard, as the teacher endeavors to urge "some tardy loiterer along the flowery path of knowledge." It is, perhaps, well to remember occasionally the maxim, "spare the rod and spoil the child." Mrs. W. A. Self and child are out in the country visiting relations.

The writer knows full well how to appreciate the feelings of brother Self in his temporary endeavor to keep a married man's bachelor's hall. The unmarried man deserves his troubles. It is said by Pope that "Let sinful bachelors thir woes deplore; Fall well they merit all thty feel, and more." But when a married man, not a sin-sinful, unmarried bachelor, has to encounter the woes, trials and tribulations of an out and out bachelor, it is enough to arouse the sympathy of any ordinary being. In the world, of course, there is occasionally a person encountered with no sympathy, one who resembles in every respect, Scrooge, of the celebrated firm of Scrooge Marley. It is said by Dickons that "external beat and cold had little influence on Scrooge.

No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snow was more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty." The person who is not like Scrooge is obliged to feel for a married man when his wifer "and baby are away from home. In contemplating a home ol that kind, the words written of a deserted banquet hall came to my mind. The home when wife and baby are absent is even more lonely than the place described by the following language "The ghts mere fled, the garlands dead. The banquet hall deserted." Mrs.

G. M.Haynes, her daughter, Miss Jessie, and her two young sons, Charley and Henry, who have been icaus: mis is mat luyui, cia, not "this is the night, etc." In the third paragraph, the words which read 'has been enforced by the votes of the election," should have been, 4has been informed by the votes of the electors." In the fourth paragraph, the words should have been "material interests," not "national interest." In the sixth paragraph, the words should read "happier hours; not "happiest hours." The house at which Dr. Ayer is stopping is spelled "Suai-merrow," not "Sumerow." In the seventh-paragraph, the letter is left off the name of Cochrane. Iu the eighth paragraph, it should have been "from a medicinal point of view," not from a "mechanical point of view." In the twelfth para i.
