Another Fool's Er ran h
PliilaMiilia' Times.
Albion W. Tourgee is a peri
patetic Bohemian who suddenly
gained considerable reputation
some years ago aa the author of
a political romance, entitled "A
Fool's Errand." ; It was a high
ly embellished description of
life in the South during the re
construction period when he
was posing as a carpet-bage
Judge. Sectional feeling was
then running at a flood tide, and
his novel utudiedly pandered to
that sentiment. The result was
a large sale of his book, and
since then he has been at
pretty much everythinjrby turns
and nothing long, but still bobs
up once in a while as a sensa-
tionnst.
His latest sensation is an an
nouncement given to the Asso
ciated Press in which he declares
that unless the blacks of the
South shall be awarded just pro
tection from lynchers and other
brutal oppressors of the race.
the next decade will witness the
bloodiest revolution of history
by the uprising of the blacks to
visit retributive venaeance up
on tne wnites. Uoming Irom
Judge Tourgee it attracts little
attention beyond recalling te
tne readers or bis new ".b oors
Errand',' that he is yet in exis
tence, and that he is nothing if
not sensational. Since the tirst
success of his "Fool's Errand"
in shape of a novel, he has been
practicing the feol' errand from
vear to year uotil his utterances
have ceased to command res
pect either North er South.
inere are new few lawless
outrages committed against the
blacks of the South except in the
lynching of colored brutes who
criminally assault women.
YinJe all considerate persons
condemn the resort to lynch law,
few individually condemn the
sudden and swift retribution
that is now gjnerally 4 visited
upon cIored men for the of
fense referred to; and the like
lynching of a negro recently in
New York State, just over the
border of Pennsylvania, teacher
that the South is not alone in
applying the swiftest and most
V iolent punishment for the pro
tection of women. A recent catse
in Georgia also proves that the
colored people of the South feel
just as do the whites as to the
remedy for criminal assaults
upon women, rejrardless of
color. The punishment lately
inflicted in Georgia upon a col
ored man for criminally assault
ing a colored woman, differed
oniy from the usual and swift
punishmeut imposed by the
whites in the protracted torture
the negroes themselves visited
upon the criminal, leaving him
to die a lingering death. This
single incident tells the whole
story of the attitude of the
blacks of the South.
Human nature is human na
ture regardless of the color of
the skin or of the climate in
which people happen to live and
it is creditable to human nature
of all classes and conditions
that it can be aroused to its
fiercest otliccg in the defense of
the honor of women, rejrardless
of race or color. Lawless as it
is, and indensiblo as it is on
general principles, the lynch
ing will continue in the South
as long as the offense is com
mitted that has usually led to
lawless executions; and tn the
North there will be few to de
mand the enforcement of the
law against those who sum
marily puish such criminals.
At no tune since the close of the
civd war has the South been!
more serene and tranquil than it
s vwiiy. Dome years ago tne
race issue was vastly more
threatening than it is now. and
each year brings the two races
into more harmonious relations.
Judge Tourgee'e sensational
prediction is simply a repetition
of his "Fool's Errand" aad there
is not a sane man of any race
North or South who can attach
any reasonable respect to his
violent prophecies.
Tur constantly increasing
fervency of Presidential poli
tics and summer's glowing neat
combined . ought to make it
warm enough for sometime to
come to satisfy the most frigid
temperaments.
Oi'i-osiTtoy to the Force bill
anikall measures that tend to
trample under foot the most
acred liberties of the people,
must exist as long as pulses of
patriotism shall throb from
American hearts.
IT'S hard work, and not rhet
orical rlrcwors, that produce
golden results in this progres
sive age.
ACROSS THE WATERS.
ANV INTKIIESTINO DIARY
OF THE .DURHAM
PARTY" TRIP.
Dr. A. H. Carr Gives us Home
Incident in Ills Iniinitablo
Style.
The following letter was be
gun on the steamer and ended
at Leipsic: .
"Columbia," May, 20, 1892
; Dear Sun: As I promised
you, see I proceed to write,
You can see by this letter
heading I am now on the Steam
er Columbia of the American
Packet Co , and bound for Ham
burg, Germany. We are now
about 200 miles from New York,
The trip from Durham to New
York was uneventful except
that Lawyer Fuller and wife
could not give us up and had to
follow us to New York. In New
York some of us stopped at the
otn Avenue Hotel; some at tne
Bartholdi Hotel and some at
the Continental, Hotel. 1 did
not stop at the Bartholdi this
time as I owed the hotel proprie
tor for back rations for my last
Iisit. We all went" over to
loboken last night, took the
steamer Columbia and this
morning at 7 a, m., we put to
sea, amid the crying and sigh
ing of parting friends, the toot
of the horn and the "Boom-der-ay"
of. the drum. We have a
fine band on board and at inter
vals during the day it makes eld
ocean howl and swell as the
discordant notes float away
over its angry bosom. As you
already know our party con
sists of the following persons:
B. N. Duke, wife, Angier, little
Mary, Nurse, R. E. Lyon, wife,
Bennie, Mary, George, Buch
anan, nurse and Uncle Wash,
Miss Carpenter, also Dr. Carr,
wife, Jomn'e and Willie
They were all present at the
breakfast table, but at supper,
alas! some of them were not.
Strange to Bay B. N. Duke alone
survives his family, the sea
serpent has bitten his wife and
children severely. K. E. Lyon
and wife have also settled ac
counts with old ocean. Little
George is bed-ridden and says a
trip to Europe aint worth 5
cents nohow." Master Buch
anan is as spry as a cricket.
Mamie has been ailing but is
improving. Bennie stands up
like a Major. Dr. Carr is half
drunk or a fool we don't know
which yet, but we strongly sus
pect both. His wife is power
ful pale "around the gills."
She came to the dinner table but
left in, a hurry to see what
time op day it was. Johnnie
and Willie Carr both toofe the
headache this morning and have
not returned from their state
room. I thought about asking
the coroner to go down and ec
amine them to see whether they
both were dead or whether it
was only a case of .suspended
animation. Coroner has not yet
made his report, and so we pass
on. Everything is now fn a
hub-bub. They are getting up
pool on the ship's run. She will
make at least 500 miles as we
have a beautiful lea, and it is
not at all rough. Mrs. B. X.
Duke continues quite sick from
the chill she had in New York,
and has had high fever but that
is now subsiding, bne has
sorethroat, headache &c, from
cold. Some one asked Mrs.
Duke's nurse what tnese A
mericans were going over to
Germany for. She said we are
eoinz to "cow's bao" sprinirs.
and this answer set old man W.
to laughing and he has not been
sea sick since. At 9 1-2 p. m.,1
retired and found wife and loys
sleeping nicely and after saying
my Wavers I was also soon in
the land of Nod. Ship's run 4 S3
miles.
Friday May 27. Up and
dressed at 6 a. tn. Left wife and
boys in stateroom, came on deck
and continued this letter. Have
not seen a representative of our
iarty this morning. Will see
how many ceme to breakfast.
It is a beautiful day, and at this
writing the sea-god is not at all
angry, and our steamer is
ploughing old ocean with un
obstructed power. Water here,
water yonder, water every
where, above, below, around,
in fact nothing but sky and
water. Nothing te interest you
except we saw a steamer of the
llcdStar lini about A miles a
way and a whale spouted only
one time in the distance and
then scurried away from obser
vation All out on deck except
Mrs. li. N. Duke, in the after
noon and she Is confined with
tonsillitis of a mild typo.
Ship's run 410 miles.
Saturday ilay 28. Break
fasted at 8 1-2 a. m. All the
party out except Mrs. B. N.
Duke. She is bettor. Yesterday
and day before1 tlie 'suil shown
out in all his glory, but today
there is no sun and there are
some few clouds, or rather it is
fgffy We have had a smooth
sea 6o far but today it is even
smoother and there are no white
capped waves ; at all. There
seems to be a dead calm, but
vou had better believe we are
making time. Our ship is cut
ting the water at nearly the
rate of twenty miles an hour.day
and night, and burns about two
HUNDRED AND FIFTY (250) tons
of coal per day. , Foggy and the
foghorn sounds all day and all
night. Ship's run 413 miles.
Sunday, May 29. Morning
bright and beautiful. The
fog has gone. There comes
a swell of the sea now and then
that causes the ship to rise and
fall with a sickening feeling at
one's stomach. It bothers one
trying to go to 6leep. Mrs B.
N. D., sends for steamer Dr.! to
help settle her stomach and he
orders her to go on deck; just my
adyice all the time. It is sel
dom we see a sea gull this far
from land, but we saw three
pass over yesterday and one to
day. Three were going to Eu
rope and one returning. Ve
judge that the returning gull
would make the trip in one day;
could leave England at early
breakfast and land in New
York for supper, for they travel
in a hurry. While we see com
paratively little stomach sick
ness on deck, yet there are at
least one half the places at the
dinning table vacant. Of my
own family little Willie stays
tn bed over two-thirds of the
time. Buchanan Lyon has
stood it as well as any one on
board the ship, lie is as gay as
a lark and lively as a cricket.
Angier and Mary Duke both
stand it well. Angier some
times leaves the dinning table
three times at one meal, but he
soon comes back and tries it
again. He is apt to be in at the
finish for the ice cream. I
would not know it was Sunday
if the calendar did not say so,
you must not look in a steam
boat for pious people. 420 miles.
:
Monday, May 30. Roughest
morning we have yet had.
The decks are swept with spray
at every lurch of the boat and
these lurches are pretty fre
quent now. The decks are
perfectly wet with spray and 1
asked one of the deck hands if
there was not rain during the
night and he said no. There
was a heavy right between sun
and clouds this morning, but
at last old Sol conquered. I am
now on the upper deck and the
windows are very often douch
ed with spray. Met the Ameri
can Consul to Hamburg. His
name is Johnson and he is from
Cincinnati. He is fat. pleasant
and" chatty. The worst day we
have had yet. Two-thirds of
the passengers are down.
Willie Carr says he is never
coming to hurone no more
There were but two out of our
party of 18 that were at lunch.
They are not sea-sick at all oh!
not a bit of it, but they feel bet
ter laying in dishabille in their
state rooms. It does make a
fellow feel queer about the giz
zard, but you must right if you
would conquer here. 421 miles.
Tuesday. Mar 31. To-dav
opens bright and milder. Af
ter a ouarrtl with mv wife and
boys 1 pursuaded them to go on
deck and sit in steamer chairs.
They go at last and the sea is not
so rough, and soon they are en
joying it, and stay on deck all
day. As the day grows the sea be
comes much smoother and most
of the passengers enjoy their
visit on the dccics. e passed
a steamer about C p. in. It came
very near to ours and was of
the North German Lloyd line,
making her way to Boston.
Our steamer was much larger,
and soon she siqks below the
horizon of waters. Many of
our passengers will get olT at
Southampton. 1 hey reed us
highly on these steamers. We
have hard frozen ice cream,
made by Horten of New York,
venison, prarie chickens, rice
birds, veul. chickens, turkey.
fruits of all kinds, including
fresh tematoes, and most any
thing else the palate can wish
for. I think I have gained at
least 10 pounds since coming on
the boat, and my pants are un
comfortably tight to button.
41) miles.
Wednesday. June 1. Every
body out on deck, (or we have a
fine day and smooth sea. Most
of these are writing home, for
we expect to arrive at South
ampton late to-night or early
in the morning. The ladies are
playing the piano in the music
salon, and the band is play
ing American airs on deck and
we are having a bully time of
it. I think we are all cettine
anxious to see land again. The
sea is so monotonous. ; Uncle
Wash says he lays this whole
trip to me for when any one has
mado such a fool trip himself
and then persuades other peo
ple to do the same, that man is
a fool. If Uncle Wash don't
let me alone I will tell his sweet
heart some things on him.
Thursday. June 2. Storm
last night. They say one of our
ladies slept with a like pre-
sever on. we are now ap
proaching Southampton, which
ia j v nines irom xjonuon or ran.
Nothing eventful today. Ar
rived at Southampton about 1
p. hi , and took on put off mails
and passengers for London.
Sailed on up the channel.
Friday. June 3. Arrived at
a
Caxhaven about noon, landed
and took the train for Ham
burg, C4 miles away. Beauti
ful county, full of grass plots,
dykes, hedges, windmills and
crows. Arrived at Hamburg
about 5 p. m. Big town of
750,000 people. Leave for Leip
sic to-morrow.
By the way it is twilight here
up to about 10 o'clock p. m.
Some of us walked around and
took in the city. Splendid sub
stantial city. Got a solid look
about it. You use marks in this
country and they are equal to
eur 25 cents, and everything is
priced as marks. Now and
then when anything is quite
cheap it is priced in pfennigs.
There are 100 pfennigs in a mark
cents), therefoi e one pfennig
represents t of an American
cent; or 100 pfennigs equals one
mark which is our 2a cents.
Day breaks about 3 a. m. or even
earlier, and the sun rises about
3:30 a. m. 1 carry two watches
with me to record the time. As
you travel to this country, that
is to the east, you have to set
your watch every day from 30
to CO minutes fast. This was
done every day on shipboard. 1
have just looked at my watches,
the time here is 4:30 a. m. and
the other watch shows it is just
half past ten last night, so we're
thinking of breakfast and you
are thinking of going to bed.
Whoopee! Leipsic, where my
boy Eddie is, is 10 hours ride
from here. How far in miles it
is I can't say and nobody knows
here. If you ask how many
miles to uny place they always
answer in miautes or hours.
For instance, thev will sav
Leipsic is so many hours, or so
many minutes away. There is
a large lake in the centre of the
city and there are some beauti
ful modern residences here.
City destroyed by fire in 1842
bunt up in comparative modern
style. Left Hamburg for Leip
sic at 8:40 a. m.
Saturday, June 5th. Left
ja
everybody in Hamburg but my
own immediate family and set
out for Leipsic. Arrived in
Leipsic at 5:30 p. m. Met my

fasted and started about where
we saw the s!ghts. Went to the
Museum. Saw many relics of
the war with Napoleon around
Leipsic. Saw a horse shoe and
a whip which belonged to
Napoleon. The whole of Europe
fought with Napoleon here and
he would have whipped them
all had not some of his frends
deserted him in the hour of dan
gcr. Saw a grand military band
of 40 pieces who were serenad
ing their general at 11 a. m
Went around to the Pomona for
lunch where you get all kinds
of vegetables but narry bit of
meat, uad to hurry home as it
began to ram and we stayed in
the rest of the day. It gave me
a chance to take a good snooze
and I improved the opportunity,
alter smoking a cigar that costs
S cents for 4 cigars. They
smoke fairly, but from the taste
must be made eut of onion
grass, cat hair and brown paper.
Can't say when the Dukes aud
Lyons will be ever but expect
them in a day or two as they
have to pass through Leipsio to
go to Carlsbad. There is to be
a big balloon ascension here at
C p. m. but don't think I will go,
probably it is raining and that
keeps me back.
Respectfully,
Doc.
A Costly Government.
What ought to make the
"billion dollar" congress for
ever hateful in the eye ' of the
American people is the fact
that they not only imposed
upon the tax payers an unheard
of burden, but that their legis
lation was so shaped as to make
that burden perpetual despite
all the efforts of the people
through their representatives.
The increase of pensions, ship
subsidies, bounties, etc., are
continuing laws and can only
be repealed with the consent of
the senate and executive. It is
useless for the people to expect
repeal as long as either of these
branches of the Government is
held by the Republicans. It
has been the boast of ex-speak
er Reed and the other leade's
ot the last congress that thay
had so tied the hands of the
Democrats that "billion dollars
congresses would be the order
of the day for many a long day
if not forever. It looks as if
Mr. Reed and his fellow conspi
rators knew whereof they spoke
when they made this insolent
boast.
All this makes it the more in
cumbent on the people to elect
as soon as possible a Democrat
ic Senate and Executive. Give .
the Democracy full possession
of the federal Government and
they would make short work of
subsidies, bounties and other
wasteful expenditures of the
peoples money. It does not(
seem possible to give reliet to
this generation or the next from
pension burdens, but much
may bo done in that direction
by eliminating from the pen
sion lists the frauds that have
crept in under Republican ad
ministration. According to
best estimates one third or
more of the pensioners are fraud
ulent. But no reform can be
hoped for from Republican leg
islation or Republican adminis
tration. The one thing needful
is Democratic administration
in all the branches of the gov
ernment.
Mlnig Capitalists in (jtrutivilie.
Messrs. Rife, Kautz, Bartholo
mew and Logan, of Pennsyl
vania, spnnt the week in Gran
ville county looking after their
interests in the Knap of Reeds
Iron Mines. They all say they
ire well pleased with the pros
pects at Knap of Reeds. Iron
ore found there is pronounced
by furnace companies as beinir
of superior quality, running
low in all detrimental qualities
and high in metalic iron. Re
cent analysis shows this ore to
be a percent iron ore, taking
the general mining run.
They speak in compliment
ary terms of the general hos-
tality of the southern people.
also of their employee's faithful
performance of their duty.
It was Messrs. Kautz anil
Bartholemew's first visit to the
Old North State and they were
very agreeably surprise. All
hands were delighted with the
climate and the good people of
this section." The mines hero
will be pushed for all there is in
them Oxford Day.
A favorite heading for past-
convention newspaper stories
is: -now me w.utie wi
Won." An exchange remarks
that an absolutely truthful
story under that head, by a
writer thoroughly familiar
with the subject and skillful ia
the use of appropriate dialects
and the application of the prop
er local color, might tm ike the
greatest literary hit of the cen
tury, and be wonderfully in
structive withal.

Senator Hiscock stys PUtt
and Miller and Clarkson will
support Harrison a:il Raid.
A rumor is curreut to the ef
fect that Mr. Blaine tniy be
sent as the American represn
tive to the Berlin bi metallic
conference.
Thomas J. Cummins, of New
York, who is in Chicago, says
that the fight in New York m
not as intense as reports would
indicate, and that either Cleve
land or Hill would get the fall
Democratic vote.
Ax "elastic conscience" is a
great convenience sometimes,
but in the long run it get a
fellow into more trouble than
it is worth.
