From the News and Observer, i The Democrats of North Caroli na should gird on their armor for' a contest with Radicalism that will admit of no possibility of doubt as to an outcome in favor of democracy, of continued hones ty, efficiency and ccohoiny in the administration of all deiiartmeDts of the State government. -We know the horrors of Eepublicaii ascendancy, the wastefulness, ex travagance and degradation of such aregime.by bitter experience. We have ixot long sience been led dangerously near a return to a state ot things which we cannot recall without a sense of deep mor tification and a keener sense of the plundering to which we were subjected by Kepublican spoilers. We know well that the ways of our adversary arc crafty and that shrewd men lead the Republican massesjtakiug advantage of every known political device and hesi tating to adopt uo trick that will tend to, disconcert the democracy. W e should watch the maneuvers of th ese cuuning gentry an d per mit ourselves by no indifference, 110 mistaken sense of security, to tali into any of their traps, v The first requisite to success in any contest is a correct estimate of the strength one's opponent Let us take time by the forelock i .. . . . - auu luaKu assurance oi success doubly sure by proceeding with out delay to study the probable , disposition of the (enemy's forces to provide against attack at al points and to secure thejpresence of our lull strength m tne ncuu We may anticipate, in plainer words, a most insidious campaign the1 coming year on the part of the Republicans and we should prepare to meet it. The coming of John Sherman and Mahome into the state will signa ize its be ginning and the methods that will mark it will be those unscrupulous ones championed in their widest application by the Ohid South-ha ter and the Virginia outcast. As it is true virtue olone that can successfully resist the devil we must take care to exercise con- stant watchfulness and when the I time conies for final action exert our full strength m oider that there may not be even V possibil- itv of ttemiblican success, which - t - i - k110w very-well would be but the synonym for' every excess in the way of plunder ot tlie people, degradation of the public credit and exhaustion of the judiciary, Let us take abundant care that the blight of Republican rule, now that we have succeeded in I removing it, may be kept well laway from our steadily recuperat- ing, progressive State. "WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Sep. 10. That the action of the govern- meut in issuing a call for the pur- rliiise ot iourteeir millions in bonds was wise and timely, is thel opinion of able and experienced was narrowly averted-due direct to the constant ana enormous aosorouon oi me cuiiimicj uy immense surplus that continues to accumulate with startling per sistency.

TlieConimissioners of Internal Revenue is preparing a statement that will show to what extent the Government receipts would be decreased by a total repeal of the internal revenue taxes, and the result, so far, is interesting in one aspect, as least, as showing a decided change in the bibulous tendencies and inclinations of the citizens of the United States. It appears that as compared with the previous fiscal year there has been a great falling off in the manufacture of , Whiskey the de creased taxation amounting to nearly three millions and three quarters the decline having been noticed for a number of years past. 'But, ou the other hand,the manufacture of 'beer is so rapidly increasing that it may now be termed the national beverage, the increased taxation of the past year showing a gain of "about two million and a haU dollars over the preceeding year. At an earl- date the , Commissioner proposes to have an analytical test made of every brand of American beer, as it is alleged that many brewers use more alcohol in making their beer than the law allows hence it is thought the analysis will be a sensation. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue states it as his belief that the steady decrease in the manufacture of distilled spirit is due to the rapid grow th ot temperance refoiln in this country. While all is so tpiietin politics ! this being an off" year it may startle, if it does not awe your readers, that a new Presidental ticket, and a wonderful combina tion it is, too, . linking as it does two of the great names of the na tion, has been launched here in the Capital. And well may Pres ident Cleveland as he realizes the strength of this "combine" quake in his boots, as he sees his vision of a second. term vanish in-' to thin air, for how does ho dare to oppose tne I'resiuentai aspira tions of those mighty men of re- nown, those eminent statesmen who will favorably compare with the fathers of the llepublio Lin- coin and Douglass. Yes, I repeat it, Eobert Lincoln and Fredrick Douglass. The glorious aeea was . - done at a banquet given to Doug- lass, tl.e intellectual giant of the negro race, on , me anun ersarj ui emancipation day, aud though, by a strange coincidence, ltobert, the son of his father, happened to be in this city at the same time do not know that he is commit ted to the movement, yet his pies enco hereon such an occasion may bo significant.
