The Htcalar yren j ba been fre
quently censured for givirg details
of crimes and accounts of horrible
murders. It is said that vioeis
treated tod lightly and that around
crime is thrown a halo of romance by
the daily and weekly press. This
centuro is too wholesale and only
partly correct. The precs should
give more of the lights a J better
side of life, but we must remembar
that life has its shadows as well as
sunthine its vices and sin and the press
is a comments tor.oot a proacher. The
secular press is a mirror to refleot
the lights and shadows of humanity
and Cowper has truly ' called it a
map of busy life. If the press re
flect, like a mirror, humanity in all
its varied aspects, it must tell of
crime and vice,' virtue and true no
bility. The mission of the press is
to paint life as it i, not as it should
be. 8ometijes the secular prets
assumes the role cf moralist and
castigates the community. It is the
duty of the clergy to preach of a no
bler and higher life, lo lead men to
God, yet the press is not a moralist
or a preacher, bet a commentator
on man as he is. The mirror of vice
and depravity as reflected in the
press is not a pleasant one, but the
pulpit, the press and law must each
stand its share of odium. Every
human must bear some of its cen
sure. ;.
The Rutherford clans gathered at
Rutherford ion Tuesday noon aod the
antiquated court . hou&A was packed
?! h 'enthusiastic Democrat?, noisy
Republicans and ' Populists. The
crowd was noisy, frequently inter
rupting both speakers with wit and
repartee, but there was no disturb
ance, or anger shown on either side.
Everything terminated in peace and
each side said theirs won a victory.
A Populist by my side cheered
loudly and often the ' rich Pearson,
of Richmond Hill, but when Craw-
tord gavo rearson some blows as
ponderous as Thor's hammer and ex
posed the tricks of Fusion, this Pop
ulist winoed under the logic and sar
casm of Crawford and remarked to
the Aurora representative man.
"Darn him ! he is smart and sharp 1"
The; Aurora representative was
disappointed ' in , Pearson's speech,
his diction, ' arguments and style,
for he expected to hear', eloquence
and logio from the rich, cultured and
polished Pearson, who has belonged
to ail parties and been true to none.

Raleigh, who summoned me here .to
answer the charges of Barnes and
Pearson. This is not my appoint
ment, but I am here ready to answer
the charges, heralded in the news
papers. : It has been published that
the Allianoe Secretary,Barnes would
come here from Raleigh to help Pear
son today. :
But before we go farther, let us
call for Mr. Barnes. Mr. Sheriff,
please call for Barnes at the door.
Barnes is called into court, but no
answer ! Where, oh where is Barnes
that was to demolish me ? Barnes
is absent; enter a nol. pros. Let him
be fined. 2( and let Mr. Pearson
pay it for him. (Immense cheering
and laughter for several minutes.)
- Then the speaker turned to his
opponent's eaily candidacy in March
be fore the snows had melted from
the mountain peaks and told how
Pearson had foisted himself upon
the. people as a candidate with Pear
son's peculiar platforms. I am sorry
to stand here against-Mr. Pearson
my former colleague, so young, so
innocent, and pulled so fresh and
early from the .vice of Republican
committees, yf men airect and snape
the laws and acts of Congress. -Here
grave ! matters are discussed and
weighed by party leaders, and the
committees shape legislation, but
Pearson would be left out, as he be
longs to Ho party and has nothing to
stand on, but his little platform.
He talks about hard times 'and
Democratic legislation and what he
favors, lie says there is relief in
the election of Richmond Pearson
and all reliet must come , through
Richmond Pearson. Did you know
(pointing with a sneer to P:i"t)
that there were other men in Wash
ington beside you and mt? '(Laugh

Your past record shows what you
will.be. In Haywood where, your
speaking was posted by the Republi
can leaders as "the Hon. Richmond
Pearson, Republican candidate for
Congress will addrees you" (reading
from the; Haywood circular). In
Buncombe it suits him to be an In

Blue Ridge he masqueracet as a
Populist ; in Rutherford where Mr.

Cleveland tried to put up silver that

one-half of the people's money. I am

Senator Jones, of Nevada, Asked
to Resign. .
Carson, Nev, Sept 17. Senator
John P. Jonee, of Nevada, has been
requested by the Republican State
central committee, to resign his seat
io the United States Senate, to which
he waa elected by the Republicans
This request is made in a long letter
which was drafted by Chairman
Trennor Coffin and approved by the
State oentral committee at a meet
ing held in this city. The letter
as follows :
We desire to remind you that
you were elected to the United
States Senate: as a R9pablicin. by
the Republican, party. In the strict
est sense the cifioe is a -political one
aod the Republican nirty is entitled
to representation for the full term of
six year from the 4.h .of March,
1891. As you now ancoouce that
yoa cannot aoi with the prty that
elected you, every consideration of
propriety and delicacy requires you
to resign. Io the same name of the
Republican party of Nevada, we res
pectfully ask you to do so."
