MoClure, of the Philadelphia Times, pins Uia faith on Cleveland, and insists that be can be elected President without the vote of New York. The Colonel isn't an adaurer of Tammany, and although he doe not nams him, don't take any etock lo Gov. Hill as Presidential timber. He argues that to the sharply defined issue which Grover Cleveland made of oppres sive taxaiion of the people in the iuterest of monopoly greed is due the late political revolution, and if the question of his noni iuatiou were submitted to the people to day they would speak niilltou-tongued for it. We don't think there is much doubt about that, for while some of the politici. aus may meution other names Cleveland's Is the slogan among the Democratic mas ses. In the estimation of some, New York may still be a pivotal State, in Col. M'Clure's it is not, for the people, he holds, wlio wrought the unexampled revolution, of this year will take no backward step iu 1892. They are desperately in earnest in the battle for reform, and the man who embodies their views on that subject will cam one half iho New Eugiimd States one half the Republican States of the West, the South and nvw Yoik, too. The people with a remarkable unanimity reg ird Cleve land aa that uiau, as the peerless, consis. tent, typical reformer and friend of the Struggling millions, vermis the plutocrats and favored monopolists. Star. PrmstJAXT to udjosrnnieiit of Deo., 1st, the Board of county UommissiouorH mot ou Monday last to receive the Sheriff's bond. The bond was presented and after con sideration it was found insufficient, where. upon the ofiica was declared vacant, and Mr. Levi Blount was appointed to fill the office. The appointment of Mr. Blount was a good one; he bin nerved the county as Peputy hheriff, and the town of Plymouth as Police, and has ever giveu satistactiou arid wo are sure as Sheriff he will ft'l the ffije with credit to, himself and honor to the county. Some of the Republicans do not seem to like die appointment, neither do they like the idea that the bond given by the Sheriff elect was rejected. And now they say Mlet the Force Bill ccwe," W e do not see the need of the Forco bill. The election was held and every Itepubliean officer, bat one, was elected. What more could the Force bill have done ? Could they expect the Force bill to bond the officers ? We think not. ' The law siys : ''If an officer is elected by the people aud fails to give the bond required by law, his office shall be declared vjtcuut by the Board of County Commis sioners and the offiue tilled by appointment ' of said Comml-siuuers " This was done. Both sides were ably represented by able couusel, and the decision made according to law. In view of this (act we think the Republicans should bubiuit to the decision, jiudsay nothing about wanting men elected al the point of a buyouet. KNIOHTii AND LADIES HONOR.

Jndianapolis Ncwe, Indianapolis is thj scat of mauy enter nrisus that hnve the whole country for territory, and even go bejoud the sea; but it has none more unique m character than .. the aasociatiou whose title graces this article. its method ?s uo. business in the sense of money-making; neither is it charity in th sense of iriviug aims; but has its way on the borderland botwetn the two. That an institution of Mch magnitude, with larger uioutlily transactions iu Cash thau the aggregate bio insurance of the city, should Lave hud its home in Indianapolis lor years without public commeut, argues either, the larein'-ss or our msning city Jite or ihe exceeding modesty of the organ-jZ-Alion iiselt'.

That this ntwociacion oeeupieK a place on the Hue betweeu buninefs and charity, is evident from the fact that its transactions have no element of profit iu t nem, except such ft'i may be said to accrue to the whole membership la saving t them the differ, euce betweeu actual est e-mtrolled. by death rate, nud the ohargea of old line man, ranoe companies that are controlled by the laws of loss aud gain, A peculiar feature about the association is that it was the first fraternal society, or other association, to admit females oo a perfect equality witn males as to amount' of insurance, and its thirteen years' expo nence. with a membership about equally balanced bctweeu the sexes, has demon, s. rated that females are a better risk thau males. t ' The association is coiaposed of a supreme lodsre. flfteeu arand lodges and 1.300 sub ordiuale lodges; the last named of wuich are variously located in States from ooeau to ocean aud from Canada to Texas, with a membership verging ou to 08,000, represent ing insurance ru-ks to the amount of $70 j 001, 500. It has no ude issues or any kind. t: .. r : and confines itself to the aim ?ym , ot death bent fits, ranging from leat a Den tits, ranging irora foo to f d,-1 0(K). IU death rate averages t u to ihe ! thousand yearly, and cneumi.ny has eu rsnce at $10 per f 1,000. The total amouut of money disbursed through its supreme offices here during the fincal year, from September, 183S), to S-p. tember, 1300, was $ 5506,912,58. aud it may be truthfully said that iu the midst of the many schemes of business that Indianapolis can bo st of, an association that collects and disburses such an immense sum ol inouev yearly, as does the Knights aud Ladies of Ilouor, and yet so nicely adjusts its affairs as to neither have debts to be paid nor surplus to distribute as profits at the close of each year, is a novelty iu bust ness thought, yet this is the case ; and the grand renult is the simple exemplar of fra ternal life insurance, conducted un the mutual aid lodge plan. A SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER. HIS SO-J 'URN OF TWO DAYS IN PLYMOUTH Ha WAS A BHAKPEU CHASED BY NKGKOES AsHKSTKD BY THE TOLICE WAS E6COKTKD OUT OF TOWN BY A NUMBEU OF CITIZENS. A suspicions looking white man dressed iu the garb of a tramp, Btrack flymoutu ou Pridav moruina last. h claimed to be sell ing a nowder to clean silver aud brass. By some means he had obtained the names of some of our most prominent e'tizens who he seemed to know at sight and would ap proach them in the most farmihar maimer. Though beiug a suspicious character he did nothing during the day to excite t'uo attention oi the police, but about 7 o'clock o. m . he entered a saloon and after a lew tamiliar remarks to the bartender, who wan a colored ncan. he succeeded iu sharp ing some whiskey and ran, the bar-tender followed by a uamber of colored people chased him through the streets overtakins hiui at the comer of Washington and 3rd streets', at this point he wan arrested by Chief tucker who escorted him up before Mavor Latham. After hearing the evidence ihe mayor released the prisouer, claiming that the bar-tender ought not to have Kt such a man sharp him. The man was seen several time after mid night leaning on different gates up town, but nnthiuu unusual happened dur incthe nicht. Ou Saturday he moved about in the same mysterious manner and before night seemed to be under the inftu euce cf luiuor aud somewhat botstrons. Hriieviu:' tuat tne presence or, bueu a .... man meant no good to the town, a uum ber of citizens waited upon him and re attested him to leave town, he was escorted out aa far as the railroad by the men and ihne bid good night. He loft perhaps not much pleaned with the hospitality of our people. This is the second time within a few weeks that our citizens have taken it upon themselves to move uueU characters and we believe it is a good plan. ROPER LETTER- Ropeb.N. C. Dec., 10, 1S90.
