DEATH OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE.
The State has lost one of its most
illustrious sons in the death of Hon.
Augustus S. Merrimon, Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court of North Car
olina. He has served the State long
and well as Solicitor, Legislator, Sen-
upon ex-comeaeraies ui mat iuva-
bound Republican State. They were
almost outlawed, and nowhere did a
who served under Lee feel so
much that his service was a barrier
to all promotion. But there has
come about a change and "Bleeding
Kansas" has elected an ex-Confed
erate soldier to Congress. This means
that sectionalism has lost its sway
even in Kansas.
There are many sins that can
justly be laid at the door ol tne
People's Party, but we owe thanks
to it for bringing this result about.
It was done jointly by that party
and the Democrats. In the West,

A VISITOR FOR 57 YEARS.
The publisher, Mr. James H. En
niss. of Raleieh, has sent The Ad
vance a copy of Turner's N. C
Almanac for the year 1893. 1 his is
one of the oldest publications in the
South, this being the fifty-seventh
year of its publication. It is a re
cognized standard almanac of the
State, and is of great value to the
people of the State. The edition for
189-5 is better than ever, beautifully
printed and has much needed informa
tion for lawyer, merchant, farmer,
and in fact everybody. As the years
come and ero this old landmark of
State literature never falls to improve
on former issues.
started the People's Party which, in
theJWest, is nothing more than a
half-way house from Republicanism
to the Democratic party. "They are
coming Father Abraham, a hundred
thousand strong," and by 1894 noth-
will be heard of the People's Party.
All North, South, East, or West
who really want Reform will come
in the Democratic ranks and hold up
Cleveland's hand in the great fight
for the rights ol all the people.
THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
A GOOD RESULT OF THE ELECTION.
One of the best results of the
Democratic victory will be the ad
mission of three States New Mexico,
Arizona and Utah, all ot which are
Democratic. When the Republicans
admitted four new Republican states
two years ago, the Democrats sought
to have these states admitted but be
cause they were Democratic they
were denied admission though con
taining a larger population that all of
the new states admitted except one
The Democrats, now that they have
the power, will right that wrong and
equalize things by admitting these
three Democratic territories. This
will give the Democrats six new Sena
tors and give them an addition of at
least nine in the electoral college.
If the Republicans had acted fairly,
and admitted Democratic and Re
publican territories alike the United
States Senate would now contain a
large Democratic majority instead of
being uncomfortably close. The ad
mission of these three territories will
at once take away the great influence
of the People's party senators, who
nearly, if not quite, hold the balance
of power, and give the Democratic
party a good working majority there
as well as in the House.
Mr7 Cleveland has an over-whelm
ing majority of the popular vote and
a large majority in the Electoral Col
letre. The vote of the electors wil
stand :

iberties that frequent elections were
regarded as essential to the preser
vation of their liberties. The Ham-
iltonian school did not believe in
frequent elections, but the will of the
people was so overweelmingly in
"avor of compelling public men to
give frequent accounts of their public
actions that they were compelled to
give up their opposition. The his
tory of our country justifies the wis
dom of our fathers in insisting upon
frequent elections ; and in dismissing
any proposition to change the rule of
an hundred years, it must not be
forgotten that it is better to stick to
good old rule than to make a
change when here no are weighty
reasons for so doing. Some thought
ful men believe that it would be wise
to elect all officers from the highest
to the lowest for a four year's term,
and some believe that when so elect
ed they ought not to be eligible for
re-election. But it is certain that
there is more danger in changing our
present plan, which has worked well,
than in making elections so infre
quent that the people will feel that
they have not it in their power to re
buke and turn out speedily any offi
cial who does not faithfully perform
his duty. All power resides in the
people. It is better to have elections
frequent than to make any change
that might make public officials less
dependent upon the popular will.
These thoughts are suggested by
an article in tne Scotland iNecK
Democrat advocating a change in the
election, and declaring that "no
country in the world can bear up and
prosper under the great strain that
our frequent elections' entail upon
As a matter of fact this country
A NEW MARKET FOR COTTON.
"The completion of the Nicaragua
Canal would open new markets for
our Southern cotton. It is impossible
to estimate the extent of the demand
which would come from China and
Japan. The cotton spinning industry
in Japan had a period of extraordinary
activity during the first half of the
current year. The mills in that period
produced 41,000,000 pounds of yarn
against 44,000,000 during the whole
of 1891, and 42,000,000 during the
whole of 1890. The thirty-five spin
ning mills worked on an average
1 82 days during the six months.
The number of hands employed was
41,430, of whom 16,010 were women.
"In spite Of the large production,
the demand was greater than the
supply, and at the end of the half
year the stocks of yarn were very
small, while the mills were engaged
in doine work ordered from three to
six months beforehand. The total
production of the year is expected to
reach a hundred million pounds.
"From a statement of the dividends
paid by the principal mills as com
pared with those paid for the pre
vious half year, it seems that of the
ten largest mills only two paid divi
dends under 10 per cent for the six
months, while others paid 25, 20, 19,
18, 15, 12, and 10 per cent. In the
previous half year the highest divi
dend was 1 3, while in only two mills
was it over 10. The explanation of
this sudden prosperitv is said to be
a succession of good rice crops, ac
companied by high prices for grain,
and a great improvement in silk
culture and the price in foreign
countries for Japanese silk." Mo

"under the great strain that our

But there is weight in the argument
advanced by the Democrat. Refer
ring to the proposition that no country
can prosper with frequent elections,
the Democrat says :
This will be apparent from several
considerations :

ceding that State to the Democrats.
So the home of the McKinley and
the hot-bed of rabid Republicanism
has been wrested from the grasp ol
its ancient leaders. Everybody in
the Republican party accepted the
verdict in good faith two days ago
except Col. Elliot Shepard and Chair
man Carter. The truth will be able
to penetrate Shepard's skull in time,
perhaps, and Mr. Chairman Carter
will not wait forever for the hoped
for returns from the rural districts.
Cleveland is elected by the votes ol
the solid South, Illinois, Indiana,
New York, Delaware, Ohio, Califor
nia, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Connecticut.
A number of Cabinet slates have
heen made and smashed already. A
friend of mine, who is just frOm New
York where he had a long talk with
Col. Dan Lamont, says : "You would
think Wm. C. Whitney would be
Secretary of State, but he does not
want it. He wishes to be sent as
Minister to England. He thinks he
can best make that position a step
ping stone to the Presidency and he
is right. He can do much in that
capacity to placate the Irish vote and
he cannot do anything to offend our
Deoole. The magnificence of his
entertainments, and his fine persona
bearing will please the English nobil
ity. He wants to be Cleveland's
successor and probably will be !"
The Cabinet will be a good one
and of course the solid South will be
represented. There will be an extra
session of Congress and a tariff bil
will pass. This bill will he outlined
by Senator Carlisle, Mr. Cleveland
and Speaker Crisp. This extra session
will admit the new States of New
Mexico Arizona and Utah, thus ad

electoral college and six Democratic
United States Senators not . to speak
of a number of Democratic members
of the House to swell the one hun

day leaves to the Democrats in the

safe working majority for any party.
In fact, a larger majority is unwieldy.

OUGHT TO BE NO CONTEST.
As is perfectly inatural, there are
many aspirants loj- ofhce under the
new Democratic administration.There
are 25,000 men whose labors and
sacrifices to the party entitle them to
the best that can be given. Never
before did Democrats work so well
and so unselfishly. It is to be regretted
that all cannot be rewarded in pro
portion to their services. The peo
ple of North Carolina everlastingly
believe in the doctrine, "To the
victors belong the spoils." There is
no trouble about differing faiths. The
trouble is that there are so many
victors who want and deserve re
ward, that the offices will not go
round. But while there are many
deserving, there ought to be no
contesl over two positions and no
opposition to granting the reasonable
aspiration of Chas. B. Aycock and
Robert B. Glenn, electors for the
State at large. They were called at
great sacrhce of personal comfort,
time and professional duties to hold
aloft the Cleveland colors on every
stump and they heeded the call. No
two men ever made more reputation
in the same length of time and
certainly no two ever made abler or
stronger presentation of the gospel of
Democracy. We have won, and it
is largely due to the brilliant cam
paign they made. It is an open se-
spects
The life and happiness of many
people are endangered.
As to the expense : We believe
that a very conservative estimate of
the expense of the election Nov. 8th
held throughout the United States
would put it at several hundred mil
lions of dollars.
This will be clear when we take
into consideration the time that has
been lost during the past ninety days
by the masses of the people in atten
ding public gatherings and listening
to speakers-, in addition to the loss of
time of the speakers themselves, their
travelling expenses from place to
place and the vast amonnt of food
wasted at barbecues, picnics, dinners,
&c. Then add the millions of dollars
spent as campaign and corruption
funds and whatever else that has
swell the enormous sum and we be
lieve that it will reach hundreds of
millions of dollars.
Then the demoralizing effects is
fearful. With our frequent elections,
i e
national once every iour years, con
gressional and state and county every
two years, the people of the country
are excited and demoralized half
the time, so that business of everv
kind is neglected, and consequently
the wheels of progress stayed. The
farmer finds himself neglecting his
fields and his barn-vards to keen
posted on the next probable turn of
the political table ; the professional
man finds hfmself giving too much
time to other topics and subjects than
his profession, because he feels that
his duty as a good citizen demands
that he should keep posted on the
current political events ; the merchant
finds his business more or less crip
pled by reason of absorbing political
questions ; the manufacturer finds
he suffers in a similar way. And so
the whole field of human enterprise
is blighted by the demoralizing eftect
ol a political campaign.
Then the danger to the life and
happiness of the people is great.
Many a home in this land has been
made desolate by reason of the death
of some father, son, brother or bus
band caused by some political broil
or election riot. The happiness of
the people depends upon their un
disturbed condition ; and so the more
they are disturbed, and by whatever
cause, the less happy and contented
are they.

time ! They are a badly frightened
lot and deserve to receive what they
evidently expect !
The Republican leaders are non
plussed. Senator Quay says the
cause of the Waterloo "was the lack
of votes." Secretary Rusk says it
was the McKinley bill. Secretary
Foster says : "There were three
classes of people who voted the
Democratic ticket. One was a set of
manufacturers who got tired of labor
troub'es, and who come to the con
elusion that free trade was better for
them, because it would reduce wages,
and thus compensate lor the reduc
tion of the tariff. Another class con
cluded that the McKinley bill was
too high. I did not know what ef
fect those people had, but it was an
excuse for such people as McVeagh
and Gresham to turn front.- The
third was cheap labor. That class
thought that the profits made" by the
manufacturers were not fairly distri
buted ; that proprietors got too much
and they too little.
"The school question affected
Illinois and Wisconsin. In fact the
Lutheran church made itself felt in
the West. When I got to Ohio I
discovered trouble among the labor
ing men. They were talking about
Homestead, and about Carnegie be
ing too rich, while they were poor.
The Republicans seem to have lost
as many votes in Pennsylvania as
were lost in Ohio.
"The people generally voted lor
Cleveland because they did not be
lieve the Democrats would do what
their platform said they would. It is
a strange result in view of the pros
perous condition of the country.
Every interest, manufacturing and
commercial, is in perhaps the most
prosperous condition ever known.
Labor was never so much in demand,
the cost of living never so cheap, and
failures were never fewer ; yet in view
of this prosperity, the people voted to
al comfort is assured."
He takes it in philosophically at
least, but he looked pretty blue when
he got that dispatch from Columbus
to-day stating that Ohio had gone
Democratic.
Mr. Harrison says the tariff did it.

lina's 40,000 majority and what he
thought of his late friends and allies,
the Third Party ; how Mr. S. Otho
and Mr. Chairman Eaves were, etc.,
etc., etc. He said : "That 40,000
majority was secured by the most
stupendous fraud ever practiced on
the American people. One man
stayed at the ballot box and another
stayed behind him and just fixed
things for the Democrats."
"But where were your supervis
ors?' I asked. "Oh, they could
not do a thing" he answered. "I
have not seen Otho Wilson since the
result nor Eaves either and I must
say I think Eaves managed to get
the Third Party voters badly mud
dled over this alleged fusion busi
ness !" I ;.! hm ! thought Mott
was running the iusion business and
that Eaves was the straight out, but
I must infer now that there was some
sort of a secret understanding. He
did not admit anything more how
ever but walked off probably to pre
pare to move back to Raleigh, three
months hence. He has my good
wishes, tor I have always found him
disposed to give me news when
ever he could do so, conscientiously.

The district and circuit judges are, as
a rule, Republicasns, and it is unlike
ly that there will be a sufficient num
ber of vacancies during the next four
years to enable Mr. Cleveland by new
appointments, to give the Democratic
party a majority of these positions ;
nor is there any probability that the
next administration will have an op
portunity to make the United States
Supreme Court Democratic, As
this is the court of final resort on all
questions oi constitutional or Federal
law, the political predilections of its
justices may at any time become a
a matter of importance, though the
freedom of the court from influence
by considerations extraneous to the
legal points at issue in any case be
fore it is conceded.
The places on the Supreme bench
which it is most likely Mr. Cleveland
will have an opportunity to fill (if
there be any vacancies at all) are at
present occupied by Democrats, Jus
tices Field and Lamar. Chief Jus
tice Fuller is the only other Demo
crat on the bench. The remaining
six members are Republican, and ex
cept Justice Blatchford, none of them
aie within five years of the age at
which they may retire at full pay.
Justice Blatchford is in vigorous
health, and as he likes his work he is
in no hurry to take advantage of the
opportunity the law affords him, he
having served ten years last spring.
The other five members of the
court, viz., Justices Harlan, Gray,
Brown, Brewer, and Shiras, are men
hardly past middle age and so far as
appearances go are each good for a
decaae of service yet. Mr. Nichols
said this morning to me that as it
looked liked nearly the whole coun
try was for Cleveland, except Penn
sylvania, he hoped that State would
rise up and move to make the thing
unanimous ! He is badly "cut up"
over the result, and I don't blame
him. The Republicans have my
sympathy. They made a fairer fight
than the Third Partyites.
After March 4th the Senate will
stand : Democrats 42, Republicans
40, People's Party 6. Two or three
of these last mentioned will act with
the Democrats. Vice-President Stev
enson will have the casting vote in
case of a tie, so that body is safely
Democratic and will have to be re
organized. The President will return to his
old home to practice law, after March
4h.

a Sir Edwin Arnold Bight?
Sir Edwin Arnold says that the women
of Japan are the most unselfish, the
most self denying, the most dutiful, the
most patient women in the world, as
well as the most considerate and pleas
ing. Were Sir Edwin no better writer
than be is reader his opinion about
women in general or particular would
be worthless, but what the author of
'The Light of Asia" thinks on any sub
ject commands attention. If the women
of Japan are the most unselfish and
most pleasing in the world what does
this prove? That the finest type of
woman is born of slavery, for no one
denies that the Japanese women ae
slaves and have not yet begun to think
for themselves.
Is Sir Edwin willing to make this ad
mission? Is patience under all circum
stances the highest possible virtue? Un
doubtedly the man who comes home
drunk and beats his wife within an inch
of her life without a protest from her
lips enjoys a more comfortable existence
than he whose wife refuses to be beaten
and actually resents the indignity, go
ing so far perhaps as to refuse to live
with a monster. Which is the higher
type, the woman who dumbly brings
ehildren into the world regardless of
their parentage or the woman who in
respecting herself refuses to aid the sur
viva! of the unfittest? Does not duty,

cause of the heavy pressure on the floor,
and they were likely to collapse any
moment. Butler turned to the man and
whispered to him, "Keep quiet." Then
turning to the audience he said, "A man
has brought me information that out
side this hall there are not less than
20,000 people clamoring for admission.
I propose to adjourn this meeting to the
common, where all can hear Mr. Choate.
Now just see how quickly we can empty
this hall."
Meanwhile Choate was rugging at
Butler's coat tails, saying: "Ben, don't!
Stop, Ben. Why, I can't see to read on
the common; my voice won't carry in
the open air; I can't make them hear,"
and so on. After most of the audience
had left, Butler turned around to
Choate, and said, "Say, Choate, would
you rather deliver this speech here in
this hall or in hell?" San Francisco

Not the Will of the People.
A popular election does not by any
means represent popular opinion upon a
great question, unless the preponderance
of the majority is so overwhelming as to
be inferred fairly to have swallowed np
the feelings wholly unrelated to the
real issues of the election. It is but one
of many and various illustrations of the
same fact. Few important elections are
now decided without the open charge by
the defeated party that the result was
determined by "boodle." That is to say,
that the result is not an indication of
public opinion, but of private swind
ling. It is possible to sympathize with the
Irishman who avenges what he feels
to be an insult to his race and kindred
by voting against a candidate whom he
believes to be their traducer. But when
elections are decided by boodle, they
have become games of the same moral
dignity with those that are played at
Homburg and Monaco. So long as It
may be truly said that a senatorship or
a governorship is sold for money, the
theory that elections represent the will
of the people is an amusing fancy of the

Yonr Cuticuua KsirEDrBS performed such a
miraculous cure upon my baby, that I. would deem
myself selfish and unchristian -like were I not
willing to give public expression to my gratitude.
About thirteen months ago he waa suddenly taken
with peculiar eruption, which broke out all over ma
little body, and became so painful that he was
almost unmanageable. Was In continual pain night
and day, and, as the disease advanced, it became of
fensive, and it looked like my precious baby was
ing to decay in spite ol all that a couple or
s very best physicians could do. I was persuaded
to try Cutictjba Remedies. I followed directions.
The first week the pain was greatly reduced, and
my baby was able to rest. The second week a de
cided change for the better, and I began to realize
that my baby was going to live, the eruption began
to dry, his appetite returned, his skin became a nat
ural color, and in nine weeks from the time he began
the treatment, he was as well as he ever was, with
a brighter skin, a good appetite, and a keen eye to
get Into all the mischief he could. It is now over
eleven months since my baby was cured by Cuti
cura, and there Is not nor has not been the slight
est appearance of its return, and my boy grows
brighter and stronger every day.
