I.i this issu-i it wiii he seen thai the Slid iff is for'.C' to do what i law of the last I.'.gMature require; him to do, to indict and have fined or imprisoned th.se who after a certain time do not pa th.'r taxes. I:nj)i:sonme:it may bi fur i ;x months 01 a line of 5 KeaJ the .Slienfi's notice. Would not the silling of prop ttty he sulficiei.t without K'nJi Lack to such a law of the dark aes as fining or imprisoning a man for Don-payment of taxes? What the State wants is the mone) for taxes due. This can be had ou' of the property, instead of the fine collected, and loss, to say nothing of the disgrace of imprisonment lor untui lunate, inability to pay taxes. Il a man will not pay, he can be sold out, which should be satisfactory punishment, espec a'I when the Slate has its money all claims settled. There are a number of honest, well meaning citizens who these haul liiii'.-s, especially in the few years ; ast, that wcic financially unable to meet their taxes with 0 her piessing obligations of the plantation, the home and the fam ily, and to sell out such men is liar i enough, but to impi ison them i, an outrage upon civilization and entirely unnecessary. This is a pail of the fruit borne by the last Legislature, that most remarkable body! If this legisla- 1 on is not unconstitutional, it ought to be, for no American citi en should be imprisoned for debt. It is not even wise policy; for when a man is imprisoned lie is forced into partial or total inability by the Slate to do what the State exacts from him. As if a parent should tie a child hand and foot and require it to perform a certain duty. This law should be borne in mind by the voters at the polls at the next Slate election. Do nol forget it as citizens. Imprisoned for debt to the State in the year i ?'.' 7 ! WHAT 1!I..'I Tlir: l-.I.M TION ? Much is meant at present and much for the future. Kentucky was safely anchored to Democratic moorings; Virginia conies back home by a large majority; about -oo,ooo votes were changed in New York Sute from the last elec tion; Democrats won in (Ireater New Yolk by about 85.000 phi rality; so many votes were changed in ( )!iio that the Legislature was won by the Republicans by the skin of the teeth. The majority in the legislature ".ill be so narrow that the enemies in his own parly may combine with the Democrats to defeat Mark Ilanna for the I'nited States Senate, which would be a gieat victory for clean, honest politics in this country. The McKinley-Dingley tariff bill lacks several millions a month of paying the expenses of the government, which the people know and are rebuking. Ihinetallism is not dead, but hveth. These lessons are taught by the elections. And. mote, these are long straws point ing to Democratic success in iSyS and 1900. Let the band play. I NI Alii I Kll U IM. The harsh and uncalled for crit icism cf the graduates of t!ie Ashe ville Normal and Collegiate Insti tute by County Supei intedent Jer vis of Madison county, is surprising in its incorrectness and seeming maliciousness. Mr. Jervis wrote to Super intendent Mebane that the graduates of the above school if placed under a rigid examination could not get a second grade cer tificate, yet he gave to a pupil of that school a first grade certificate when she lacked four years of graduation. The graduates of this school are by law admitted to teach in the public scUh Is of the State, as aie the gr.uliK.tis t-t the Stale Not ma! C. -liege at Greens boro, w ithout further examination, and the Ashe v die school ii one ol as high a gt.ide, vi ruai'.y sc., as tr.at of G-ccnsV.ro. (.): course the criticism is u::;me. And more, the Stale Sup .n .t.tendent seems to listen to tins untrue t.de. We know much hcie ot Dr. Lawrence, the president, ami of his school, and the above ;-. tt.uk must be a waiilon one cr a big, hurtful blunder. I.MIMI ADMIK. The aversion to taking advice, which is so general a trait of human nature at the present time, is not unnatural and 11. ;t clearly reprehensible when it is considered how dillicult it is to understand anything thoroughly, or, even if we understand it, to apply it to the conditions of life in any other manner than one agreeable to our selves. The American people have lis tened so long to the voice of the charmer promising them prosper ity by thisor that political panacea that il has become difficult to teach the sound doctrines applica ble to a real'y democratic condi tion of society. The mechanic md workingmcn have been taught to rely upon some particular form if tariff taxation for employment md living wages, and this delu ion has become so widespread as o prove one of the most mischiev .us agencies of modern discon ent. Our leading newspapers lave become organs of destructive ather than constructive criticism, md have almost destroyed the faith of the American people in heir own well-tried institutions. 'Everywhere there has been an mseltling of religious, social, political, and economical ideas. Under these conditions it is quite lillicult to advise any class or com nunity that thebestcure for mod--:rn discontent is a return to a simpler faith and simpler methods f government. Yet the best thinkers of the day are beginning to realize this truth. We must return to the pure trust in a Divine Providence which animated our fathers, and which led even such "infidels" as Franklin and Jeffer son were considered to be in their lay to see in the establishment of this republic the direct hand of (iod. This very year the Ameri can people are under obligations to the bounty of Heaven, and to no other help, for the means to effect a return of prosperity, lost by their own ignorance and folly. It is the hand that dispenses alike harvests and famine that has favored us and withheld from other nations, and it is this hand that is bringing back the gold to our own shores, and not a tariff conceived in injustice and devoted to the interests of monopoly and trusts. The American people will soon enjoy all the prosperity they de serve if they will insist upon hon est administration, curb legislative cranks, and attend industriously to their personal affairs. Further than this they cannot go until ihev learn that it is through the widest trade and the greatest diffu sion of money that the most pros perity is obtainable. God is no respecter of persons or of nations. The advantages of our superior position as an agricultural and manufacturing country are offset by constant tariff tinkering and by teaching the people to rely on some new scheme of legislation to cure real or imagined ills. True Republicanism is government for the best interests of all. True Democracy is the inculcation of self-reliance on the part of the people, who are the cause and authors of government, and who are always greater and better than any administration they may select to serve them. i i:om wiiKNci: tiii; i i.nds? The mugwump Washington '.. wants to know where the money is to come from to build the navy which it acknowledges there is a national demand to have built. Out of the Treasury, O Cleve land worshiper; out of the Treas ury with a "gold reserve fund" now approaching $00,000,000, for the existence of which there is no warrant in law. Out of that gold reserve which is kept on tap by the American Government to enable the Wall street gamblers to get up a panic whenever they get good and ready; out of that gold reserve fund which is being used by these same Wall street gamblers and their Lombard street pals to force this Government to issue interest bearing obligations to them when ever the vultures gel ready to absorb them, while 70,000,000 of patriots are willing to accept from their Government non-interest-bearing obligations wi'hout limit to aid it in an emergency; out of that infernal gold reserve which lias been the root of a scandal the branches of which have enveloped a Cabinet officer and caused Hon esty to look askance even higher! There, O lover of trust, monop oly, and the Fnglish single stand ard, there is the capital for your r.avy to defend us from a coun try which cannot conquer 6o,oco patriots penned up in one island, re-ei. forced by the navy we now nave, as she is, as a result of an infamy greater than treason the payment of ante-election pledges to the S;igar Trust and Spanish Cuban bondholders! And, if there are likew ise sacred pledges on the part of the 'busi ness manager" of the McKinley Administration to preserve intact this volume 0 business life blood .vhich should L'.e in the veins of trade, there remains yet another plan; a plan so simple that it has been used by ihfr benighted fel wnu uiougrvi. nicy were doing .;,.. .t. .- ...1 I i3c ui me nine iaiiu noe acuon ' the world endorsed as rare states- manship)- fellows who directed j and fought the war of wars, the acmc( 01 numan ana property 1 destruction, the zenith of fraternal hatred, when the oleaginous and Pecksniffian holders of the wealth of today were not so enamored of j "vested rights" as they are now. That plan, O worshiper of the yellow devil, is the issuance of greenbacks; greenbacks based upon the credit of the people, greenbacks for which the people of the day were willing to exchange their labor and their produce, greenbacks which the people of one section endorsed with their life blood, greenbacks to sustain the value of which man slaugh tered man and brother maimed brother until to-day there is not a village in all this land which has not a crippled memento of that gigantic strife the apotheosis of warfare! And more, O lover of wealth and chief toady of the " better classes." Those greenbacks which bought the depreciated bonds ol the day, the which by administra tive trickery and chicanery have been made payable, principal and interest, in gold, and the integrity of which is as zealously guarded by the Treasury Department as if they had been paid for in fluid ounces of heart's blood. There, most gracious noble of the Fourth Lstate, most valiant wielder of the lance for the few against the many, there you may find the wherewith to build the navy to conduct the forthcoming war, but not against Spain, the doddering idiocy of whose diplo macy is fast flinging into an inter nal strife which will engage its navy at home very shortly. We will need that navy, and within the next decade. Hut the ships of war at which they shall discharge their thun derous bolts Aill fly at peak the cross of St. George. Great Britain, our enemy; Great Britain, who hates us; Great Britain, who sought and seeks to destroy us, will engage us in the struggle which calls for a navy. And silver or greenbacks will build it! KIUTOK I A I. 'OTKS The Charlotte Observer recently alluded to the work of the United States official who is analyzing various kinds of foods and articles that enter into our food and med icines, with a view of detecting adulterations, and mentions the existence of a la.v upon the statute books of the State making it ille gal to deal in adulterated articles of food or medicine, and imposing a penalty for so doing. Yet, strange to say, there is no provision for the inspection of such articles by a State officer. Here is a right then without a remedy. The people have a right to protection against being poisoned by these articles and a law exists designed for that purpose, but how is anyone to know what is poionous unless analyzed by an expert. Most of the States (and we suppose Nori i Carolina is one of them) have laws against the sale of fertilizers ur.lc-s they have been analyzed and ttie ingredients marked upon thesack. and it is made the duty of a State official to make such analysis. But every man, woman and child is exposed to danger from adulter ated medicine or food or drink and is totally in the dark because there is no one to say what is wholesome and what is not. There should be some provision for the appointment of a competent chtrn ist for the detection and exposure of such impostures. Toward the close of the Demo cratic administration Superintend ent Leazer showed that the peni tentiary had been for two or more years self supporting, and even the last year, it is claimed, a surplus was laid aside. But Butler says that Leazer.s figures are not cor rect. This is too late from Mr. Butler, and is used to cover his dis graceful retreat from the failure to break down the good Democratic record and bolster up the present disgraceful, incompetent manage ment of the penitentiary. It has been run at a great loss, and is now put into the hands of a com mittee of directors to manage. One of its officers is under indictment for a high crime. Many had rather not follow Mr. Butler's calcula tions in figures. Great men, as the late Charles A. Dana and Henry George, do not make as many mistakes as ordinary men. It is said sometimes that great men make great mis takes and counteract the gooJ they do. By mistakes and wrong sometimes great men do counter act some good they may do, yet the mistakes of the great are notic able because the actors are so prominent, while the many weak nesses of most men are not seen by many, because the actors are in private life. On the oilier hand the great and good deeds of great persons overbalance the weak nesses and the evils done. No man is immaculate n.-.r imnr...-- ' fvs- 1 b!e to human frailties nf mirH r heart. .. One of the noble savings '"x ! Cleveland was "Public ofik oc is a i public trust." Our State officers and others who come up to requi site duty should for this be com- mended, but on failure they should be held to a strict accoun1 fnr hey serve the public and in no sense do they hold the mastery of those putting them in office at least that would be Democracy. Commend when it should be given; adversely criticize when it is needed and deserved. Butler and Russell are examples most con spicuous, of men who grow bold, arrogant, selfish and scheming by a taste of power. Hold them to an account. Keep them in their places. Gorman is defeated in Maryland. We regret it for the party's sake, but not for his own sake. To be the statesman that he is there is in him too much of the demagogue. We have not forgotten the time when he, Smith of New Jersey, Hill of New York (who says that he is a Democrat to hide the fact that he is not a Democrat), and Senator Murphy of New York, we believe, held up the tariff bill in the Senate like political highway men and forced the Democrats to accept their emasculated substi tute for the best tariff bill that they had had the opportunity of pass ing in years. No, we are not shed ding many tears for Gorman. District Attorney Holton re cently told a Citizen reporter that the arraignment of persons before the Federal Court on flimsy tech nical grounds, which is reprehen sible, must cease, and further, lie said that the straw bond business is a pernicious evil. A man arraigned on a straw-b nd, if he is to be faced with damaging, faith ful witnesses against himself, simply skips. Slill the witness's draw pay. Bonds should be looked into before accepted no straw bonds. He says that the "block ading business must go.'" Good' Those people who are growling about the tardiness of prosperity don't know what they are talking about. Rockefeller has added Si 7,000,000 to his wealth since the 4th of March last, while Have meyer has made almost twice as much. J. Pierpont Morgan has added $7,200,000 to his pile, while Russell Sage has gleaned another million and a half. If these are not signs ot prosperity, pray what are they? Judge Avery and Senator Pritch ard, each have written letters defending the Asheville Normal and C illegiate Institute tiom the groundless attack by County Superintendent Jervis, and from slights by State Superintendent Mebane. This will but result in a r.ost extended, beneficial adver tisement of that noble school of its kind. One of the Ton.--; cratic- Republican candidate- for t-i-lce in the recent election in New York city declares tnat he l ad " ,-L. ays treated his interiors in a :air v. a v." The insufferable ins deuce of thi . rad is an index to the t eel int. entertained by ih.; plut -rr i;s if the Republican party for the com mon people. A great poet says that "in the hands of men entirely great, tin pen is mightier than the sword." It is as true now as in those days of old, with the addition that ii the eyes of men entirely dishonest, the scissors is mightier than the pen. Let straight Democracy and the Chicago platform be the slogan of the Democratic press of North Carolina. Nail the fl.tg to the mast, and let those who merely want office gee up a negro fusion ist R epubiican - anything-for office combine if they must. fust before election day the goldbug press was thanking Mr. Bryan fervently for his visit to Kentucky, as they claimed his appearance was helping their cause. Wonder what they think of the result? Tell it in Gath! Shout it in Askelon! Henri Waiter son has seen the error of his ways and returned to the fold of Silver Democracy. So glad he followed the advice of these columns a few weeks since. Those patriots in North Carolina who are figurine fusions, the sole purpose of which are -ffices for the faithful, will have to uke the people into account in the final equation. From present indications, (he penitentiary has now some inmates who are likely to remain surh for several years to erne. But not in their present capacities. The Hanra-Haveraeyer Pros perity Club, of which or.e Wiilim Mckinley is the advance agent, has either "hurg up" or black balled King Cotton. -r a de-d is-.;.. fr-? cina did reaiarkably well, thank you. fsTATE NEWS.
