May X 1 y For the Democrat Mr. Harrison and Mr Blaine cannot continue their present telntions much lon ger, unless there is a radical Hiange of mind on the part of one of them. That he comes plainer and plainer every day to those familiar with the inside workings of the adininstation. Mr. Har rison has finished his mes sage, and it has been shown to every member of the cabi net, except Mr. Blaine. The reason for this action on the part of Mr. Harrison is that he hasgouedirectly contrary to the .views of Mr. Blaine on at least two important mat ters dealt with by the mes sage, and ho has delayed showing the message to Mr. Blaine, fearing that, it might cause an open row between them. Of course it will have to be shown to the Secvlary ol State before Congress meets but there will be no trouble, so far as Mr. P.laine is concerned. lie made up his mind when the McKinley bill became a law that the re publican party was doomed. and since that time he has not bothered his head with mattets outside of hishobby, reciprocity. The leaders of his party have nearly all turned to hint as the Moses to lead them out of the wilderness. ;iiid that is what is so gall- mg to Mr. Harrison, wno wants vindication in the shape of a renominntion: but one of Mr. Blaine's warmest and closest personal friends told me that unless there should come a great change in the prospects of the re publican party before 1801', Mr. Blaine would under no circumstances accept the nomination. One defeat be ing quite enough for him. Unless a prominent Gov ernment official is off in his prediction, there will be n vacancy in the office of Com missioner of Fersions be tween this and January, Mr Harrison having fully decid ed that Rautn shall go. The Congressional lame lucks among the republicans are nil trying to pick out something under the Gov ernment that will enable them to keep hold of the pul he teat after the 4th of next March, but it will be a diffi cult matter to provide for even a small number of them One of the principal occu pations of the republican leaders just now is stiffening up the political back bones of the smnllfry Congressmen as they get in. About three out of four of them want to revise the McKinlev tariff law at the coming session. That, the leaders are deter mined to prevent of possi ble. Several of the candidates for Speaker of th next House have opened head-quarters here, but there are not enough of the members-elect of the fifty-second Congress yet here to make' anything like a lively contest.

The fight for free and un limited silver coinage is to be renewed as soon as Con gress meets and a powerful weapon, in the appointment of a successor to Chairman Conger, of the House com mittee on Coinage, Weights and Measures who resigned to go to Brazil as U. S. min ister, is in the hands of Spea ker Reed. Mr. Heed is one of bitterest opponents of fret coinage, in th: House, but for all that it is not certain although it is probable, that he will put an anti-silver man at the head ofthatcom mittce. The committee is said to be now evenly divid ed on the question, so that, in deciding upon the new member of the committee. Sneaker Reed will really de cide whether the committee hall report a free coinage ill. thing for Mr. Hill to do is to recognize the invincible pre ference of the great body of the national Democracy for the leader who, in ISSN, pre sented anil personified the issue to which the people in 1S(.)() have said amen by the majestic voice of a command ing majority.

There is a class of farmers very busy just now going about saying all sorts of evil things against their fel- aking of Mr Reed, Sjit repuoiicnns are very mucn worried because certain dem ocrats have determined that democratic committee of the next House investigate the methods by w hich he was lected. There is no contest, nor is there to be, but it is believed that an investiga tion in that district will show up a great deal of republican crookedness, and the'demo crats propose doing it. Many democrats think the republican Congressiomil ap portionment bill should be opposed on the ground that the Census has not been cor rectly taken. Of course, if the republicans can keep a quo- ruin of their own men on the floor of the House no a mount of opposition can prevent its passage but it may not be amiss to snow up certain things about the Census. Gen. Nelson A. Miles has assumed command of his mil itary division at Chicago. A reporter asked him if there is any danger of another out break among the Indians, to which he replied: "Not at the present anyway. The dang er of Indian troubles is de creasing every year for vari ous reasons. I hardly think there will ever be another se rious. Indian war."

This is all wrong, and such persons are enemies to the farmers, and are not entitled to respect, or to be trusted by any class of our citizens. Such con duct is born of selfishness, meanness and cowardice. On the other hand, there is still another class not far mers, who are doing all in their power to prejudice the merchants and manufactur ers against the farmers. Of the two classes, the latter are doing the most harm however, for the farmer can better afford to do without the middle man than the middle man can do without the farmer. Conservatism and a proper appreciation of the rightsofeaeh other would create a better feeling be tween the two classes. The farmer and the merchant have existed from the earliest periods of civilization and will continue to exist until the end of time. The day is not far distant however, when the farmer by educa tion and organization will be strong enough to com mand equal recognition with any other class that controls the world. Southern ar wer. At a recent meeting of the Board or Directors of the Linville Improvement Co., I for then' was a time when we I were good radicals, 'lhatj j was just after theclose of the at war, and tor severalyears al ter, but, as timewen ton good radicals got to be bad radi cals, but I kepi with them, with every degree of patience as I well knew that the work to be doe in the new situa tion was a sort of guess work, or like one working in the dark. But as time went on and mistakes in proceeding became so plain that fair: minded men could see that there was more meanest than ignorance with the radicals then in power, there was no repealing of mistakes and bad acts, and no legislation for the good of the people. but they legislate for them selves in the form of a salary grab-act. So you see good radicals became bad radicals and I quit them, and I must own up that 1 feel good over it, and the result of the recent election show that manyoth ei men won't be bad radicals any longer, or that they will not be lead by bail radicals. I would like to say some thing about all these good men who voted in these elec tions. It shows that we have used our rights and liberties as a free people, and that we will not always be lead by de fiant and corrupt leaders. would like to say more on this matter, and 1 will say that I don't think that there will be a Republican Presi dent, in the United Stales du ring the present generation 1 think our next President will be our ex-President, G ro ver Clevland.

If the children of North Carolina are to be educated in the public schools, the State must put up the cash Uncle Sam will not help us out. The seventy millions that Senator Blair wanted to scatter among the schoo houses of the country have been squandered, and before the appropriations already made by the reckless horde that controlled the memora ble fifty-first Congress are met, there will be a deficit ranging anywhere from forty to one hundred millions The children of North Caroli na must look to the state alone for an education unless they have parents who can afford to educate them. This is clear, now that Will o' the Gorman's Warning. Senator A. P. Gorman, of Maryland, has issued a note of warning to thedeinocvatic arty, as follows: While the den ocratH hroughoitt the land are to ue congratulated on in- tandsome manner in which hey turned out and went to the polls on election day, it must not be forgotten that a tireful review of the figure!-: will show but a slight in crease in the democratic vote, t will not do for us to break, auks and imagine that tve uive secured a position that annot be shaken by our on- i r ennes two years nence. i lave been looking over the figures this morning, and I find that we polled withui 900 of our full vote in Balti more city, wdiile tho republi cans were several thousand short. So it goes in near.y ill of the states. The returns show that the republican.-! were so disgusted with their eaders in Congress t ha t they refused to vote for them. They did not turn a-rouiii: and vote for us, but they simply remained away from. the polls. Thus it will be, seen t hat men do not change their politics any more read ily than they change, their religion.
