' That the tariff bill was especially satisfactory to the people when it left the Honse is beyond question, and as its discussion in the Senate brought it nearer to the form in which it was passed by the Honse the responses from the country now indicate that it is meeting with proper approval.' Tbx Bspcblicah lifts its bat to the Charlotte Observer and congratulates it npon its improved appearance. The Observer it now a six column eight page paper, as bright as a new pin and as newsy as ever. It is by far the best Democratic paper published in the State and is always a welcome visitor to our sanctum. The National Convention of -Chris. tian Endeavorers is in, session at Ban Francisco, Cal. It U a big gathering, numbering thousands, and every seo- tion of the Union and even foreign lands are represented. President Me- Kinley telegraphed his best wishes. Much of interest and enthusiasm to the work will result from this meeting. Play is some times dangerous. At a ham battle of the Governor's Guards, at Pullen Park, Baleigh, Tuesday night, Geo. N. Banks, a member, was shot and killed while taking part. It cannot be ascertained who is responsi ble for the unfortunate loaded car. tridge. The cartridges were examined before given out by the captain and first lieutenant and no loaded cartridges have been given out to the company in over two years.

And it cannot produce if a Free- Trade Tariff permits other countries, with cheaper labor, to do its produc tion. We have experienced this eon dition under the Gorman-Wilson bill of the Democratic party which checked this nation's growth in prosperity and power. Bat we will grow again under the Diogley Protective Tariff. It is not all peace with the brethren. Editor Kingsbury, of the Wilmington Messenger, and Dr. J. O. Kilgo, Pnn eipai oi 'innity ixtuege, are carrying on a spirited newspaper controversy, The point at issue is State aid to high er education. Dr. Kingsbury favors while Dr. Kilgo objects.

Governor Bat sell, Jadge Clark and Hon. Joeephus Daniels have submitted papers aeting forth their views. Hon. Joeephus, the "Savior of the State" hae conceived the idea that the rail roads are antagonizing his scheme for saving the State therefore he antag onizes the railroads. This reminds us of the fable of the gnat seated upon the horn of an ox, etc The Progressive Farmer has added its voioe to the obnoxious calamity howlers. Last week we printed an . item in effect : Crops generally are in a most pros perons condition. A country blessed with these conditions is no place for croakers. To read the rubbish which that pa per adds as comment is disgusting, to say the least When there is a gener al desire and tendency towards better times, it is the duty of every individ ual to do what heoan to encourage and ' aid the good work. If he does not then he is a pessimist and an alien to the best interests of his fellow men. i item on "Newspapers and Hard Tim will be found npon our first pefev- It is from the Biblical Beoorai r, and the author is doubtless a personal friend of editor Ramsay. Can he question , the sincerity of the author t We com. mend it to Mr. Ramsey. 'Again, when individual will "croak over the blessings of an ever kind Providenoe, it ia a transgression, and a manifestation of a spirit of ingratitude which passes for judgment to a higher power than poor, weak humanity. And lastly, such . calamity howling lolly-pop comes with poor grace from an attendant at the pie counter whose month has been stuffed by his Populist brethren with the evi dent hope, doubtless, that the bait would sooth his internal uneasiness, stop his wild can tings and turn his at tention to every man's duty at the present time to encourage and foster every effort thai tends to awaken the dormant business interests of the coun try and thus hurry along the era of re turning prosperity. Thar.cai i hard talk to please everybody. Along the roads where he has just beea at work, comes the complaint that he ia slighting' that part of the county. While from other sections comes the complaint that their roads are impassable. In justioe to Mr. Bhutt the Board! of Commissioners announces .that after due consultation they thought it best that the force should make a rapid sweep orer the countyTe paiiing the worst places, after which they will resume the regular work of putting the main thorough fares in nrorjer condition. To do this will require tinw aawell as considerable 'voluntary help from the people in furnishing rock and hauliDg them to the places when they are needed. Oar present ays. tern is defective. The force should bs kept on the "main thoroughfares until they are well macadamized, earing the people to care for and keep up the neighborhood roads. f this plan is adopted it will only be a question of time until our farm- era can carry to mariei ail tnat their teams can pall to the public road and more beside. Now the question is how much of his load will he have to leave off when he gets into mud holes near towi ? BAD FOR THE CALAMITY HOWLER. . t Colonel E. R. Moses, of Great Bend, Kan- says: "We shall Vaiae millions of bushels of wheat ihis season, and there is no telling how much corn. It is looking ?ery fine now, and we nope to nave the greatest crop in the West. During the last tiro weeks we hare had over five hundred people come into that part of the State looking for work in the harvest fields. They came from .Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri, and from different parts of our own State. Every man has had a job given mm in the fields, where he can earn a good living and get good board while doiog the work. It looks very fine, can tell you, for our Western farmers to be hiring hands again and rushing their work along like they did in the good days when, we had no Pops and hard times.:. If we are so fortunate as to get our big crops harvested and sold ; for fair prices this fall we hope to be so well fixed that there will be no calamity wail, and therefore no tuneful song of woe for the Fops, but it will be well for Kansas. Kansas is to be congratulated for her good fortune. Evidences of better times can be seen even in Old North Carolina. While wages may not have ad' vanced any, yet laborers are get ting more work. Oar crops so far are doiog well, aud fair prices are beiDg received for what is being marketed. Wheat an d tobacco have been telling higher than for four years. There are few idle people and with the Tariff ques tion settled and prospects for good crops there is no reason why the song of the happy husbandman should not. take the place of the calamity howler. CAUSE OFTHECOALSTR1KE. The coal miners' strike has brought to the public attention some facts as to the effect of the Wilson tariff law upon this indus try. The Wilson law, it will be remembered, reduced the rates of duty on coal 35 cents per ton, it having been 75 cents per ton under the McKinley law and reduced to 40 cents per ton under the Wilson law. Curiously President Rstch ford of the United Mine Workers' Association states that the wages of miners have been reduced about 35 cents per ton since 1893, -the very year in which the free-trade Congress met and began framing the Wilson act, which reduced duties 35 cents per ton. The mo ment the Wilson law passed, coal from the Nova Scotia mines began invadiDg the markets on the At lantic coast, especially New Eng land, and drove cut of those mar kets the West Virginia coal, which had always found an outlet at fair prices. This West Virginia coal was thus compelled to seek a mar ket in the west in ' competition with the coals of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. The result was a sharp competition, a fall in prices, a ruinous rate war, not only between mine owners, but also be tween the railroads, and as a con sequence a redaction in the wages of miners. Thus the very low wages of the coal miners of the oountry who are now striking for an advance are directly and logi cally traceable to the operation! of the Wilson law. The pending bill restores McKinley rates on coal and after it gets into operation will, it is hoped, result in improved conditions land wages for miners ss well as others. bOT HIS REWARD! The Charlotte Observer seema to think we object to its kicking, Not at all. Why, as President of the Tar Heel Kickers' Club, we'll give it permission to kick 23 hoars Eerday. Editor J. P. is a new and, we believe, however, he kicks about others desiring free coinage. If the learntd colonel would simply get a better pair of glasses, he'd see we have had the gold standard for about 25 years. Kickers must kick for changes, if they wiih to become professionals. Progressive Farmer. "Thar now" in the language of Judge Cloud, the "Charlotte Obser ver has got its reward, its certifi cate of proficiency, and another soul is made happy. ; Thi Ripcb licas fia a mind to aocuse the Progressive Farmer of gross pax a.. t.- . . . : TL&t Jcsrn&l w&i so com- fieuly captivated -by the clever manner of the Observer in spring log; the tax law bug-aboo,or moved oj the disinterested efforts pat f orta by its Editor in "landing" hisp ear friend, Rev. Jeremiah Lamentations, (as the Observer twittingly oalls him) that it en tirely overlooked the merits of other journals that had for months been piping along the same line. Th Republican likes the Obser ver and is always delighted when honors deck its crown ; bat it thinks Brog Ramsey has exceeded the bounds of propriety in so highly honoring Bra. Caldwell to the damage of other deserving papers. Then too, to give Bro. Caldwell his license (tc "kick and howl") with oat money and without price, ab- olately free. It's too bad 1 The jettevllle Observer is a pretty good howler, so is the Wilmington Messenger and News and Observer, it ss just tin-ton and no mistake. hei;; comparative merit of these thre journals reminds Thb R PCBticAH of an old fellow who had bee married three times and each of bis wives was named Sallie. He sad "his first wife was just as good as could bs, the second one was?a little tetter, and the third and, last one was the best of all." If the Progressive Farmer will issue freel license to kick and howl, to the;- Fayetteville Observer, Wil mington Messenger and News and Observer grading them in the order named, then Thb Republican will forgive his apparent partiality to Bro. Caldwell. ANOTHER CASE OF DEMO CRATIC BILIOUSNESS. The Winston Republican ia an issue or two after , the election printed the following acrostic, heading it: "What will follow," meaning the election of McKinley. More revenue. Currency as good as gold; Key-: to prosperity. Industries protected. National honor. Liberty for Cuba. End of bond issues. Yoke of free trade thrown off. Well, lets see if it has panned out.: as that paper said it would. More revenue; Yea, we have got more internal revenue, the stills are being closed down and cut up every day. Currency as good as gold ' The trouble with most of the people since the election of Mc Kinley, they haven't got any kind of currency and can't get any either. Key to prosperity , That's an old gag. Industries protected ; It certainly looks so when 125,000 miners are out on a strike in a single state. But perhaps the Re publican meant the infant indus tries; They are pretty well pro tected. National honor ; we can't see where the honor comes in when the: American flag is insulted by Spain nearly every week. Liberty for Cuba; Is Cuba free, and has the McKinley administration made a single effort to help her? On the other hand every ship that starts to Cuba with supplies is seized by order of the United States. End of bond issues ; The little end for it is even talked now in Washing ton that there will be a bond iisue before the end of the year. Yoke of ifree trade, thrown off: This country never has had free trade and consequently there is no yoke to throw oil. Come to the bat again brother Republican and see if you can't do e better next time. Hurrah for William Jenniogs Bryan the only gennine advance agent of prosper ity and future President of these United States. We quote the above from the Elkin Times just to show our read' ers what sort of rot is being dealt out to honest minded democrats tf the democrats behove such stuff it is 1 the strongest possible argu ment! in favor of the additional 1 tax that the people are asked to authorize at the election to be held in August. If they do not believe it, then it is putting a severer test upon their forbearance. tbarj Thb Republican would like to, trv upon its readers. It re minds as of the old saw, "that fools rash in where wise men fear to tread' "More revenue," lays the Times, yes, the Democrats did raise the talc on whiskey from 90 to 1.10 centi and then shot op or cut every distillery except a few owned by democratic pets, and of late they have been raiding the pets. See the account of seizure of Bob Cook's distillery of Davie county, in this weeks i Republican. During the Cleveland administration the whis key j business ia North Carolina was ' broken up, the ' home market for corn destroyed and corn sold lower than for 50 years before, Currency as gocd as gold. Yes you can now get gold for your 50 sent silver dollars, dollar for dollar. Isn't that good enough? j If jyoU will believe such demo cratic papers as the Charlotte Ob server, New York Sun, Petersburg Index-Appeal, prosperity is al ready at our doors. Since the elec tion l of McKinley the prices of cotton j corn, wheat, meat and to baood have all advanced from 25 to 50 per cent, which means mill ions of dollars to the farmers and more wages to the poor laborer, even; the miners are out on a strike. demanding their share of the pr peri ty that they can smell in the air. s under Cleveland they were afraid to strike, because to strike meant to loose your job with no prospect of getting another, Yes protect the infant industries and jwhen they grow older and stronger they will be able to take care of themselves and to famish work'for oar laborers and better and cheaper products for. all oar people,: Protection to oar ladas- tries bas brought the price of for - eia steel rails down from $153.00 . to 122.00 per ton. It has brought steel wire nails from 10 to 2 cents per pound and you can now boy a steel plow ready made for less than half that the blacksmith woald charge yon to turn your iron plow mould into the clumsy implement of 25 years ago ; yet the Times sees no benefit in protection. My brother travel a little and , ace something of the wonderful ad vancement our oountry has made under Republican protection, and then mix a little practical common sense in your theories. It will enlarge your soope cf vision and do you 'good. Talk about National honor! The first act of the last democratic administration was to pull down our flag in Hawaii which was the first of a series of national slights and insults to which oar people, humiliated by the on-American policy of President Cleveland, were subjected for four long years. What did yoo do for suffering Cuba? General Lee says that yoo neither aided Cuba nor protected oar American- citizens, and cha grined and disgusted he deolared that he had no support to enforce his demands for the release of American ci.izens languishing in Spanish prisons. Another bona issue talked of. Don't worry about bonds, brother, McKinley is not running this' Government on the credit system.' Bond sales and free trade are being relegated to the past, and democracy and free-eil ver are doomed to a like fate. THE PUBLIC PR1NTIKU. The Republican is in receipt of two letters, one from Quaker Gap and the other from Bandolph county, asking information on tha Publio Printing matter to which Thi Republican re ferred in its iasbe of July 1st. Our correspondent asks, "through what net work f machinery does the Public Printer have to pass before he can get his money?" and "ia it possible for the Publio Printer to commit a fraud npon the 8tater . Thb Republican answers first that it has never seen the contract but under. stands that it was drawn with full specifications providing all the safe guards necessary to protect both the Printer and the State. That the work was to be done at so much per thousand ll's, that each kind of work was to be examined by two expert printers, one chosen by Stewarts and the other by the State but both required to be reel dents of Baleigh. That these experts had full power to accept the work if found up to contract, and equal power to reject it II it did not meet every specification in the contract. If Stew arts did the work right, but charged more for it than the contract allowed, it was the duty of these experts to reject the job or scale the price to the con tract limit just as people do in other kind of business, and to each bill they attached the following certificate: We, the undersigned. Practical Prin ters on the part of the State and the Publio Printers, hereby certify that we nave examined tne loregomg won, find the same done according to law. and that the price charged therefor u correct according to contract. If Stewarts did not do the work as per contract and submitted their bill ith their work, and the job wa ac cepted by the experts and their report approved by the several department officers and then audited by the 8tate Auditor it shows a ease of inoompe tency or of criminal neglect of duty on the part of these officers. II they accepted the work and ap proved the bills knowing that either the work or the charge was wrong then they are open to the charge of betraying their trust and entering into collusion with Stewart Bros to defraud the State and rob the people. All these effioers were Democrats of large experience in offije and well ac quainted with public printing matters and that they ahonld get pioked np by Stewart Bros as they claim to have been, it does not speak well for their business sagacity, and is one of the strongest reasons why the people should not again entrust the affairs of th State to their keeping. . To the question; "If Stewart Brc fleeced' the State at 27 cents per thousand m's, where will she be when she pays Barnes Bros 37 cents per thousand m's, for the same olai work ?' Thb Republican answers rob bed worse than before. It looks like a case of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Thb Republican has no personal interest in this matter farther than it effects the interest of Winston and it submits that the interest of Stewart Bros., tne interest of Winston the interest of the State seems to have been ignored. in the interest of Bal eigh and the pie brigade gathered about the State Capital. r Long Distmace Road Record . Brokea. . Elmer C. Davis, of Baltimore, Saturday, on his bicycle, succeeded in breaking the Amerioan 24 hour road record, which . was held by ilenry Smith, also of Baltimore, Davis covered 316 miles in the 24 hours, ending at 5 p. m , which is two miles more than Smith's rec ord breaking performance of Hay V, over tne same course. Said to Have forced a Note for ta,ooo. T. C Walker, of Randolph coun ty, is reported to have forged the names of his grandfather, Dr. M. Worth, of Asheboro, and his ancle, J. H. Mills, of High Point, to a note for $3,900, made payable at the Lexington bank. He has disappeared, and it is claimed no one koows his whereabouts. He had subscribed to $25,000 stock in the new Greensboro brewery.- He told people he had sold a mine he owned for $75,000. Walker is re lated to some of the most promi nent families of the State, and has been spending money lavishly for some time. It is said that a Char lotte company had sold him some electrical machinery. but they will get the machinery back and will hardly loose anything by him, Walker had been to Charlotte often and was well known here.

Duncan soent part of the forenoon with Senator rritcnara, after dinner Cobb, accompanied bv Representative Skinner, called at the Senator's residence and had verv satisfactory talk, he says, about the appointment. The result of the day's conference is the an- a Y . W ' A 1 i nouncemens oy senator rrncara that no action will be taken in the matter for the "present. In reach ing this conclusion the Senator avoided the slightest intimation of what would be his final action in the matter. There are ; compli cations which a little thing and a better understanding may; adjust. The vacancy will not occur until October, and quite sufficient to the day of bfSce distribution is the annoyances thereof. Bat notwith standing this decision a large Cobb delegation from the first district is expected here, to-morrow. To Thi Republican correspondent, Cobb j said ! to-night, that; he in tended to make a iquare, honest fight for the place on his own merits and independently j of con ditions and complications for which, he says, he is not respon sible, i From what the first district people here say absut it, a whole and exoiting campaign of State politics is vitally involved in the appointment, and deliberation,, hence, can only do good, i FLACK FOB BRO WEB. An application was filed some weeks sgo by ex-Congressman Brower, at the suggesticn of Sen ator Pritchard, for appointment as superintendent of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. ; Owing to the : pressure of urgent business Senator Pritchard has not been able to push this matter, but he assured Mr. Brower to-day that it should have immediate considera tion and that nothicg will be left undone by him to secure the ap pointment, i While . ia Congress, Brower made many strong friends here who are now in a position to materially help him. He returns home to-morrow with the assur anoe that an earnest effort will be made in his behalf. There is no evidence of any wish on the part of the administration to make of ficial changes, but all hope is not dead. ! The end of the tariff bill is plainly in sight and there is vague sort of understanding that the President will employ the in terim betwaen the adjournment of Congress and his departure from Washington on his summer vaca tion in making Republican ap pointment. It is the distinct policy of the President to subject every application to the closest sorutmy, and the same rule has heen adopted in the different de partments. I it is rigorously en forced and much expedition, con seqaently, in making changes is impossible. A 90LK IN THE CIVIL SERVICE. The modification of the civil service i alluded to in this corros pondence last week, does not make a hole in the law as big as a barn door or as deep as a well bat it tarns loose over six hundred places in the i internal revenue service The order has not yet been issued, but the statement is semi-officially made that these places are not en tirely removed from the direction of the civil service commission Appointments will hereafter be made by the collectors on proba tion snbiect, subsequently, to a non-competitive examination by the civil service commission. The ohange in the law is not so radical as indicated in the statements hitherto made in reference to it, but it is important as a beginning. Washington, July 12. The Eas tern oollectorihip had another day of it, and Senator Pritchard looked weary when he entered the Senate chamber to-day. Representative Skinner is supporting Cobb and authorizes the statement that Cobb will be appointed. Senator Prit chard does not say so. It is almost certain that he will recommend Duncan and the appointment wil bs fought out between them. It is not expected that the contention will result in a personal or politi cal breech, bnt there is no affecta tion in 1 Skinner's zeal tq effeat Cobb's appointment. THK MARSBALSHIP. me last act oi tne late Demo cratic Solicitor General was demand for the removal of United States Marshal Carroll, on charges made by a special agent of the Department of Jnstice. Through the intervention of Senator Prit- ohard time was allowed Carrol A A 1 . i! 1 to nie a supplemental answer, Through; his attorney, ex-Repre sentative woodard, the answer was filed Saturday. In the interim new Solicitor General has been ap pointed, j Speaking of the matter tday, he intimated that the an swer was Entirely satisfactory, but no recommendation will ba made, ne saiq, until a tnorougn examina tion is had. t This course meets with Senator Pntchard's approval.

Under tha new civil service order internal revenue collectors and marshals make their own appoint ments with on t f restriction and without the ! interference of the civil service!! commission. They are solely I responsible and it is right that the power of appoint ment should be exercised primarily with a view; to the good of the ser vice. This consideration has large ly influenced; ! Senator Pritchard in his efforts fto secure a modifica tion of the law and consistency demands, he riayi, that he shall not interfere in these appointments in North Carolina. I Applications are pouring in onJiim from the West ern District; for places under col lector Harkins and he is compelled to make some publio announce ment of bis policy not to embarrass the collector In the section of his subordinates py his personal, in dorsements and recommendations. The collector,! he says, is respon sible for the; administration of a very dimcoltj onice and it is im peratively necjecsary that he should be unhampered by personal influ ences, ine penator suggests in this connection that time and expense to the applicants and much unnecessary worry to himself may be saved by direct communication with the collector. It is not to avoid any respor siblity of his own in this matter that the suggestion is made, bat simply as a matter of justice and right to collectors and marshals. A little experience has satisfied him that this is the only course for bii to follow. It is the expectation now that i the conference! report on the tariff bill will be submitted not later than Thursday; or Friday. Some talk is heard cjf an attempt on the part of Democratic Senators to delav a vote bn the renort until ootton ties andj bagging are restored to the free liet.
