THL WItONU H ALF- liusui:i,. When the editor of the Lincoln CuUkilk, who is a clerk in Collec tor idias' office, wrote the follow ing he set his coulter pretty det p, or, as Dr. Caldwell would say, pa;, in above the ford: "The Corui;ii; believes that the Democratic Sen at or who refuses to vote for the conlirmation of either Elias, or Simmons will never again receive honors at the hands of the Dem ocracy of North Carolina.' Why not f Sullby Kkvjkw. Simply because the Democratic party and the press of the State demanded Simmons appointment and have almost it not unani mously approved of the appoint ment of both Simmons and Elias Further, since the announcement of Vance's intention to light a gainst the continuation of the two Collectors the Democratic Press has almost unanimously condemn ed such action, ami the vou e of the Press is in a great niea;ii'e the voice of the people. Does the Klvjew mean to im ply that one holding a govern ment position cannot nive imp;ir tial expression to his convictions ' If so, wemnst inter that the cause of the Review's hesitancy in crit icising Vance in his course, both in extending the right-hand of fellowship to the Third-Party -Alliance by letter and in his antag onism of Simmons and Elias. niusl be due to the fact that the ediio; of that paper owes his presen .. position to Senator Vance. The Review's insinuations as to the motives of the Cori;ii;n and the Newton Enteiummsi: makes tho inference as above indicated una voidable. In the question above the Coi'KiEU simply expressed ib' "belief," and the Review canm.', impugn our motive without im pugning its ov n. Nor can it douL, that the Cornir.i: had good grounnds for the statement . made. It would ho interest ing to know just how the Review stands on the question touching the confir mation of Eliasand Simmons The Courier has a habit of net ting its coulter pretty deep when' it believes the ground requires it. At any rate it sets it as it think? the case demanas even if it "breaks a trace " The chakgls au.unst lion. , Hope Elias, Collector of this dis trict are said to be unprofessional conduct as an attorney. This is Very funny. Of course conduct tbat is not professional is very unprofessional, very ! I Jut the idea of certain lawyers jroinji be fore a Democratic Senatorial or any other kind of committee and trying to have a man remoui from an important oilico on ac count of ''unprofessional conduct as an attorney'" is rather tunny. Why, it is often true that when one Lawyer "downs'" another in a legal contest, the one that is 'downed,'' accuses the other of using methods and arguments "unprofessional". The Courier is of the opinion that this case a gainst Elks is veiy much on that line, and that the Senatorial com mittee up there in Washington is spending two or three weeks "splitting hairs" trying to decide , wh.it is "professional conduct" I and what is not, and perhaps all! ; C. I this is done and all this time al j lowed bv the majority of the com mitten out of pure "professional" courtesy to a .Senator whom the - President, himself is said to have treated wunprofessionally"(?), by I"tr('!l??m.i5 to appoint the Senator's relative and special personal fa-i vorites to ollice ! If the voice of the Democratic press is any evidence as to what the Democrats want, then it is plain that the party of North Car olina desire the speedy confirma tion of Elias ; for it has spoken almost unanimously in his favcr- A man's true inside character ; is better known at home than , abroad and here is what his own I home paper, the Franklin Prkss has to say : "Rut late dispatches i from Washington state that Sena- I tor Vance is preferring charges against Mr. Elias personal char- acter. In this he 4eems to be de- parting from that course of wis dom that lias built for him such an enviable reputation and such . vast popularity as a statesman in the past. In this respect we ven ture the assertion that Mr. Elias' private character would compare very favorably alongside that of Senator Vance, and in this asser- ; tion Ave do not mean to charge Senator Vance with being a man i of bad character.'' II on' It la Viewed In Wushiug lou. 1 have refrained fiom writing any thing in reference to Seuator Vince-s opposition to the confirraa- lion ot Messrs. Enas aod Simmons, as collectorH of Internal Revenue j i e jause 1 did not wish to say any thing that would add to the dissen sion which delay in confirmatiou h is produced. Seuator Vance de c Hies to b'j interviewed upon the matter, but states that he will vote against the confirmation of both. It is understood that he will prefer charges against Mr. Elias, and ex pects to estabiiih that his nomina. lion was improper one to have bt en niatle. As he has made none ot t iese charges public, it Is cot prop er to speak of them, and in fact 1 do kn v fully of what they consist. Air. Elias is here has had a bear- mg i.eiere tne ttnauce Uommittee, and iliiuka he is able to disprove eveiy charge made reflecting apoc him. Air. iiis was giyen a two bouts hearing Tuesday afternoon before the committee and given an opportunity to answer the charges Senator Vauce has preferred against him. lie made a 4very favorable impresaiou by his direct and frank explanation aud replies. It ba3 b en supposed that, inasmuch as Senator Vance is an old member of ;he Finance Committee, his press ence ami influence would secure au adverse report lo confirmation of Alr. Elidtf. There is no doubt about t ns sii ce Air. Elias had a hearing unt made so favorable au iinpres ;VOII. His friends do not beleive that opposition to his confirmation is due ':o any charges reflecting upon Mr, ilias, but because Senator Vauce feels apgneved that the President di ' vol act upon his recomuienda ih)i. He felt that he had a right to name the Collector in the West er:. d'sinc;, and tuat wheu the President iguored his recommend a io t it was an affront to him. Mr. Cleveland's frieuds say that Sena t)r Vance has no reasou to take it as an affront because the President appointed Air. Allison, as Marshall Air. Ulenn as District Attorney, and Mr. Covington as Assistant District Attorney in compliance' with the recommendation ot Sena tcivVauce. It is staled that Senator Vance told Air. Simmons yesterday that he had no charge to prefer against him, but that he would vote against Discontinuation and woald oppose any consideration of it until after the confirmation or rejection of Mr. Elias was passed upon by tbe Sen-, ate. Afr- Simmons was greatly sur prise! at this statement because he had di-U'redited the minors that Senator Vmcc would oppose his r ontirm-ttien. He is not the only one who is ?u prised. There is uni versal suprie and regret expressed hete;audhis best feiends have urged Senator Vauce to withdraw his opposition to Mr. Simmons and hi early confirmatiou Editorial Cor7 N. Carolinian.

Fo man can at this time answer that question with absolute certainty! but it teing generally admitted that the present law is a bad one the probabilities seem to favor a com promise, although a number of prominent democrats, among theai President Cleveland, believe that ii would be better to abandon the bitl for a fuie than to adopt a mko- shift compromise. whatever is the resulr, so far a the Voorhees bill is concerned, the opinion seems to be increased daily among conservative men, regardlet-s of party ulliliatiou, that Congress must pass a bill authorizing the ads ministration to issue bonds to in crease the gold reserve fund when ever it may become ik cesaary iu order to avoid pauics, similar to the oie the country recently passed through, which may at ar.y time be brought ou by large aud continuous asportations of gold.

Tnis is why 1 Ha it the b sr method to fo ' if. P. A. R, Dut ham, N. C. ' ((Answered by W. F. Mnssej, Hort- , icuitunst Expeiiment Stafn.n.) J Early potatoes grown in Ibis cb- j mate cannot well be kept later than j Christmas. You should raise a fall J crop for winter keeping, which keep with ease when put in a daik place and kept on Is a few degiees bove the freezing point. One great ieas- on for fiiluie to keep potatoes is that they are kept too waim. A cold that will make ice on water will 1 not hurt a potato iu a barrel. If Hey ould be k pt in a uniform at ruoKphere ot 33 to 35 degieee, they would le all the better. Another ieanou for failure is keeping them in too light a place. Potatoes should be kept in total darkness, and should be put into total ihukiu as soou ac posible after digging. Not a ray o snnli-jht should be allowed fo reaeh them at any I Hue. A few Imnrs siiniimcr in fhn Ottidi wliili ' ' digging, will spoil the best Irish po- j lato. The early crop may be kept! until the late crop is ready, by care- ful management. Dig them wbeu the woil is dry, and at ouce spread m a cool dark cellar. Iu a few days overhaul r htm, and pick out the kept cool and dark, they will do until Christmas, wheu they will soon get worthless trom sprouting.
