WEAK BACK-BONES.
It is to be hoped that the law, in
all its meaning and force, may be
allowed to take its natural course in
the case of the famous boodlers,
White and Cross. Too often money
influences the results of many oases ;
Itosoni friends " play to the music "
in order to check the course of legal
proceedings; special circumstances
surrounding the history of niany
law-breakers give a new phase to af
fairs ; family connections, and a
beautiful record as church members,
are potent in tempering well-dispensed
justice. This ought not to
bo. If the rich transcend the law,
bring them to the same trial as
would be given the poor. If for
merly highly honored citizens turn
traitors to the confidence and trust
centered in them let a full measure
of the wholesome preventative be
speedily given them.
Ualeigh's dignity was a short while
a:ro insulted, her indignation justly
aroused, and public sentiment turned
loose, resolved that the parties who
threw a fire-brand into her business
and scattered to the four winds of
the earth hard-earned capital should
make a full payment for the deed
committed.
How is it now ? Everything seems
to have undergone a marvelous
change ; a pardoning sympathy is
growing in behalf of the boodlers ;
two of the leading lights of the
legal profession in the city have
locked horns, and around each fol
lowers have gathered. There has
been some mighty dirty work done
in this bank affair. Is it the work
of lute and Cross ? If so, let the
."trong arm of the law do its work.
That White and Cross are honora
bly connected ; that they have been
among the leading and enterprising
itizens of Raleigh; that they were
honored with the confidence and
trusts of Raleigh's good people; that
they were faithful and zealous
churchmen, no one for a moment
doubts. But is any one of these, or
even aU, enough to excuse them or
tay the hand of justice ?
It is needless to say that every
.North Carolinian is anxious to see
the interests of society and State
preserved, even though the executed
law handles quite roughly men who
in the past were the "soul of honor."
COHIXG TO A FOCTS.
The State papers are, politically,
devoting their space to the consider
ation of gubernatorial timber to the
almost entire exclusion of the merits
and special qualifications of men for
other offices. Judge Clark has
"flown" the track, and we are truly
glad of it It's no use to spoil a most
splendid judge just to make a gov
ernor, when other men of equal, if
not superior, qualifications and abil
ities are scattered throughout the
State. Ex-Governor Jarvis, too, is
out of the race, as the following
from a letter dated March 18 th
clearly shows: "I don't wish to be
a candidate for Governor, and you
put exactly the correct interpreta
tion upon my letter. When I want
anything it has always been my
habit to say so, and when I say I
don't want an office, I mean what I
say." And Jarvis does mean it to
mydear-son-01iver's delight.
Among the most prominently
mentioned now are Stedman, Alex
ander, Fowle and Armfield. Which
one does Cabarrus want? To an
swer this well, let every democrat go
to the primaries and let his presence
be felt. Let come who may, Cabar
rus county, as in the past, will roll
up for him the result of her hear
tiest and most zealous efforts.
STATE NEWS.
THE FIXIBISTERIXG AT AX EXD,
The filibustering tactics of half
hundred Democrats, headed by
Mr. Oates, of Alabama, in the House
of Representatives has at last de
feated the Direct Tax bill, notwith
standing the strenuous efforts of Re
publicans and high protective Dem
ocrats to secure its passage. The
passage of this bill would have taken
out of the treasury $16,000,000, and
would have been followed almost
certainly by a still greater raid on
the public money by the repaying of
the cotton tax of $68,000,000 and
the swamp land bill, which would
have necessitated the expenditure of
$20,000,000 more. We all, with oue
accord, can thank these our repre
sentatives for effectually defeating
this measure, which was simply an
entering wedge to clean out the
treasury so that no tax reduction
could safelv be made. The solid
support of this bill by the Republi
can side of the House and the pro
tection Democrats very plainly shows
to whom we must look and on whom
rely for relief from burdensome
taxation.
THE BIEXXIAL LIAR.
There is a time for all thing?, and
even the campaign liar never misses
a season. He is biennial in his visi
tations, but the opportunities afford
ed him every second one are so mauy
and so great that his duties suffer
none by the intervention.
The above epithet may be very
strong, yet it is quite true and sig
nificant. An honest politician is no
thing less than a statesman or a pub
lic benefactor, for such he is. But
there are campaigners whose forte
exists in the virtue of lies and whose
occasional victories are but the out
growth of a vigorous and undaunted
course of lying. With such, lies are
more potent than honest and naked
facts. Their time of supreme glory
is near at hand. The warm weather
and the approximation of National
and State conventions unite to create
the temperature necessary for the
hasty hatching of these political liars
and annoying animals.
Already they are beginning to turn
over in their shells; some are begin
ning to peck at the walls of their
homes, and before the world is aware
they will have bureted from their
dormant state, feathered and out in
iha political field dispensing through
thecommon channel their rotten and
nauseating campaign lies.
jnow, toe tact ot the matter is
just this; A big liar, successful in
his beloved efforts, and thwarting
every attempt to catch, him in his
lying busine, U worthy of a smal
degree of patience and honor, but
thte little hidf-bound, croos-eved.
wooly, braiute&s liars, who are cor
Tiered every time, are too low for
even firtst-cUsa contempt. Load
your shot-gums and give the first roos
ter a dose of wholesome preventative,
Hon. S. S. Cox, of New York,
has recently introduced a bill for a
division and classification of clerks
in the railway mail services. We
hope the bill may pass, and that bet
ter ana more emcient mail services
may be given us. The clerks have
a " hard time," and should be paid
better salaries.
It is said that suit will be insti
tuted against another editor for li
bel. This time it is giving Judge
Phillips a dose. Editors, tis true,
should be very careful about what
finds its way into their columns, but
let wrong, corruption, and their
kindred be exposed, even though the
circles of society and high life fur
nish the subject.

The Wilmington Star says : "Mr.

THE KAFFIR CORN.
This crop was cultivated very large
ly in some sections of the South the
past year with great success, it hbould
be sown or planted early in spring,
when required lor forage, sow either
broadcast or thickly in rows about
three teet apart, or if desired for the
grain, plaDt a few seed every foot in
the row and thin out to three or four
stalks, according to the quality of the,
soil. When the grain turns white,
clip the heads, and other heads wi'L
come ; this ensures (he largest yield of
grain. It gives the best results by
catting the first growth for forage
when in early bloom, and letting the
second growth yield both grain and
forage late in fall. If forage only is
desired, the seed may be drilled light
ly io the furrow. It withstands
drought and is particularly adapted to
the thin land of the Cotton Belt section.
The grain when greund makes excel
lent food for stock, and equal to flour
for bread. Price per lb 25 cts ; 5 les.
