The watchword among the Democrats
in North Carolina . should be that an--nouneed
by the; State ns its chart and
guides-steadfast support of the Demo
cratic party nd its well established
principles, and i white . supremacy and
intelligent and 1 honest administration

we can be indifferent about the result
Of the elections up at the great North.
Let us here stand close together. Ral

We .agree with the able and erudite
editor of the State in the above'. We
submit, then, that jt was a sorry and
unwise piece of business to put a rank
free silver plank in the. State ' JDfem
ocratic platform when a l-j&ge and re
sectable body Of the party is opposed
to it, and especially, when this is a ques-
ion for national legislation, ana one
with which the
have ntothing to
State . has and . can
!. If every man in
North Carolina were in favor of free sil
ver at HG to 1 it would not amount to
anything toward effecting such legisla
tion , with the majority elsewhere op
Iosed..to it. Above all it was an unwise
thin for the State Democratic State
i
Executive Committee to meet and to re
affirm the free silver plank, thus widen
ing the breach, j without, doing their
cause Or anything else any correspond
ing good. .Yes, let the Democrats of
North Carolina stand together ; but we
want t4 say that (the action oi the ex
treme . free silverites in the State has
done mbre to widen the distance be
tween themselves than all other causes
combined. ; "One of theni only last

It. is also true that others of the State

; President Cleveland has more than
ence been charged Sometimes bv mem-
"bers of .his own party with being' de-J
ficient xn diplomatic skilL His decli
nation' to'acceptthe invitation extended
by the government of Great Britain to
form an alliance with that country, for
the purpose of protecting British and
American, interests in Turkey shows
that he had diplomatic skill enough to
defeat a well planned scheme of British
diplomacy,:. When that invitation was
extended . it seemed a patural sort of
things to do, but. the present situation in
Turkey shows what a daugerous thing
it really . was. ., As things now stand
there is- every: probability that Great
Britain will be involved in a war With
ne or more countries as a result of the
present complications in Turkey, and
had President v Cleveland not seen
through the scheme this country would
have been involved with her. As it is,
the U. S. by acting alone has secured
better protection .for Americans in
Turkey than has been accorded to any
other foreigners in that country, and
when the fighting begins Uncle Sam
will de merely an onlooker, only in
terested in selling all the combatants
ererthying they can pay for. ' -
How completely Mr. Reed will domi
nate the Republican majority in the
House is shown in the scramble for th9
other offices of that body. Although a
numder of candidates have beerl in the
field for sometime they hava been able
to-get very few members to commit
themselves; they are all waiting to find
out Heed's choice before announcing
their own. By' the way, speaking of
Eeed '-and his method, there is . some
thing for those Republicans who have
been yelling "Wall street domination!"
at the Democratic administration and
Congress to ponder over iu the" Repub
lican announcement that Mr. Reed has
been consulting Wall street bankers to
learn what their wishes -were - concern
ing financial legislation. '. '
Captain '- II. W, Ilcwgate, - whose
wholesale embezzlement of government
money was a Tiational sensation some
fifteen years ago, having exhausted all
legal quibbles, or his money," will this
week be taken to the Albany peniten
tiary to serve, the eight-year sentence
imposed upon him by a jury that saw
things somewhat differently from the
jury which at an earlier date declared
him not guilty as charged in the first
indictments, and confirmed by a de
cision of the Court of Appeals against a
new trial for him :r Had not Secretary
Morton ordered his -arrest he would
still be at liberty, although everybody
in Washington appeared to know that
he was living in New York. f
The wisdom of the government in
printing its Own postage stamps is shown
by the annual report of Mrl Claude M.
Johnson, Chief of the Bureau of En
graving arl Printing, where the work
is done. Although the postage stamps
havo been better printed than ever be
fore the goverment paid less by between
$50,000 and $75,000 than ever before
paid for the same amount of work. .-
Wholesale abuse of the franking priv
ilege caused it tq be wholly aboJished
for a long time. Although only exist
ing in a modified form for the last few
years there is no doubt ,0f its having
been abused. It is known that the re?
publican campaign committee used ,U to
send out documents that were not frank-,
able during the Congressional campaign
of last year and the last presidential
campaign. 'Bui. a -case, has recently
come to the knowledge of Secretary Mor
ton which shows that individuals have
also been abusing it to their own profit.
The case willprobabiy be referrxl to the
Attorney General in order to', decide
whether any legal wrong has been done.
It came to the knowledge of Secretary
Morton; that a second hand book deal
er was selling,government publications
and gi'ing Congressional 'franks to those
who wished to mail them, v An employe;
of the Department of Agriculture was
sent to purchase one of these puKU cations
and obtain one of the franks: He Eas
ily did d. The .frank bears a rubber
stamp fac-simile of the signature of Ex
Represehtative Tom L. Johnson, of
Ohio, and the 1xok-dealer claims that
he came legitimately by them and ac
knowledges to have used a considerable
number of them sending books through
the mail for his customers. It has been
ascertained that it is common practice
for the clerks of Senators and Represen
tatives to sell government publications
to book dealers and to furnish Congres
sional franks for mailing them. -

"Cotton Town I was elected yesterday,
but not over cotton. It was thrown
out of its state of) every -day monotony
from the fact that a legacy - had been

for the family, that he -was one of three
heirs to an estate valued at from one to
two million' dollars, pajrt of which is in
this country and the rest in Brazil. .
:" "Thos. Uoyd Halsey was an uncle of
the Messrs. Cross C. B., J. -M. and
D. B. He weni to Providence R. I.,
and there amassed a considerable for
tune, and afterward went to ' Brazil,
where he made hjs millions. He died

settling up the estate, He will also go
to Brazil to represent the Messrs. Cross."
, Mr. Brook Crosi, one of the heirs,
was in Concord . Tuesday, llr. Cross is
reticent about the matter, but there
seems to be but little- doubt' that the
above is true. Lawyer Smith went to
Providence about ten years ago and got
a large sum of .money for the - Cross

Tax Valuation In Bovan -County, "
Salisbury Herald. '. . " .
Register of Deeds Woodson has com
pleted the abstract Rowan's taxes for
1895 and will preseht . his report to the
county commissioners at the December
meeting. The report is full, showing
the value Of all '.property ; and the
amount of taxes that will De'collected.
The total value of all property, real,
personal,, railroad and corporation is
$2,387,939. This amounted to $5,324,
369 in 1894, showing a falling off of
$336,430. The total number of polla is
3,453., being 57 more than last year.
The white polls gained 111 but the col
ored lost 54. : .
The total taxes for all purposes, State,
county, schools ad special, is $42,
321.74. '. q.v; -
The number .of polls listed, 3,458 is
entirely to small for la county ,he size of
Rowan. . There are! evidently Beveral
hundred -who are not doing their duty
in this respect. j - . - ,
The value of land 'and town lots is al
so ridiculously low. ) The former is not
quite two millions and the latter not
quite a million dollars. This amount
does not represent bne-half, or more
than one-half the actual jalue of ; the
property, and makes; a poor showing for
the county. But Rowan is no worse
than other counties ip this respect, ; All
put . too small a valuation on property,
real and personal, arjd the result is that
North -Carolina -one of the very best
States in the Union does not compare
favorably with many of her sisters. A
reform is needed in this line. "Values
should be placed higher. Taxes' would
not be increased thereby but the outside
