D. F. li.viitD Suit. I WASHINGTON LETTER. from our Regular Correspondent. President Cleveland and J Secretary Carlisle, both of uhoni know how to appn ciatea humorous situation, must enjoy the wild guesses ol the newspawr men who are trying to build political sensations upon the very lender foundation of the President and Mrs. Cleveland having invited Secretary and .Mrs. Carlisle to spend a week at Gray Gables. Surely it is difficult for a mar possessed of ordinary common sense to discover anything sensation al in the visit. Mr. (".eve la no probably thought that Secretary Carlisle needed a week's rest after the harrnss ing work he has done in con nection with getting the new tariff in running order, and that he and Mrs. Cleveland would enjoy the company of Mr. ana Mrs. Carlisle, hem e t h e invitation. That the two gentlemen will discuss political matters is perfectly natural, as a Congressional campaign ison and every body else is discussing the same thing: but it is airant nonsense to say that the vis it lias been mad'? because ol any impending political cris is. It was also perfectly nat ural that Senator Faulkner, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Ca m pa ig 11 Committee, should call upon Secretary Carlisle before he left Washington, to give him all the information in posses sion of the committee con cerning the present status of the campaign and the out look for Democratic success. No man can be more deeply interested in the campaign than is Mr. Cleveland. Only a man who draws a salary fordoing so would pretend to find anything, sensational in all this and no one else is doing so. Representative Taisn v, of Missouri, who has been re nominated and who is now in Washington, reports his State as being all richt, and his own re-election he regards ascertain. Speaking of the campaign generally in Mis si. uri, he said: "I attended a Democratic meeting last Tuesday at Lexington, and I never saw a moreentbusias tic gathering in any previous campaign. Reports from all o'-er the State indicate the same feeling everywhere. I do not think there is a pos sibility of losing more than one Deinocra t ic Congressma 11 and even rhat is not a cer tainty. 1 refer to the St Louis district now represent ed by O'Neill. Situation there is very -much involved at present. No nomination has been made yet by the Democrats, and it is difficult to make a prophecy of the outcome." Before leaving (fashing ton Secretary Curlisleaccept ed the resignation of Super vising Architect O'Rourke, which was requested early last week. There are already a number cf applicants for the vacancy, but it is under stood that no appointment will be made until the archi tect office has been complete-1 jly reorganized. Under the ; reorganization all of the bu-s-j i 1 less relating to the letting 1 of contracts and kindred i matters will be looked afterlthe bottom andtlie situation ; by th Secretary of the Treasj obliged to improve. So'D" urv. leaving the architect in, say that there can bestarv i j charge of that portion of the tme in the mi. 1st of plenty. ! business only for uhich he isi bat I don't believe it. It took by his pi f if -ssiou espec ially fitted. This wid doubt'ess be a relief to the new archi - tect, whoever he may he. Wrongling with contactors has hitherto occupied a good portion of his timf. Secretary Herbert has gain ed a warm spot in the hearts ;f the scientists by his reor ganization of the Naval ob servatory, placing it under the direction of a civilian, in stead of a Naval officer. Soe letniy Herbert along service on the Naval committee of the House had familiarized him with the subject, .vhich has been agitated for years. His action has given general satisfaction and (here is lit tle Joubt that it will add largely to the usefulness of the observatory. The party of distinguished Democrats who went from Washington to attend the State Convention of Demo cratic clubs at Raleigh, N. C, brought back nothing but good words lor the .'ondition anil hospitality of the North Carolina Democracy. They also brought the assurances of tin se who know Cwtthere was not the slightest danger from the alleged combine be tween the Republicans and Populists to control the leg islature and elect a Republi can and a Populist. Senator. The Democratic managers in the State are certain that the next legislature will be Demo era tie, regardless of any com inflation that can possibly be made to prevent it, und that North Carolina will continue to be represented in the U. S. Senate by two good Demo crats. Comptroller of the currency Eckels, who has just return ed from an extended western trip, says he found every where unmistakab'e evidenc es of a genera! revival of bus iness, and he believes that this improvement in husiness is going to be an important factor in the Congressional election. His idea is that the men who were quick to blame the Democratic party for the bad times will he equal ly as quick to credit the par ty with the return of good times and to vote ro keep it in power as a reward t here to 1. New York Dispatch: Here are a couple of guides to hap piness which some wise per son has lately discovered: 'For a fit, of passion, take a walk in the open air; you may then speak to the wind without hurting any person, or proclaimingyourselr to be a simpleton.'' "For a fit of idleness, count the ti cking of a clock ; do this for one hoar, and you will be glad to pull off your coat and goto work like a man." An autograph letter of General Washington to Col onel Hamilton brought ii?42 recently tit a sale in Lou don. Kill Arp on thr Otittl. Wi ll, it looks like we have seen the nor.-t ot tl.e finan cial crisis. We have Imh-m at a'l i f ihi last tvo .".!rs crop p ; the people's debt "and j g't them back to economy, and now, down here in Di.v e. is another abundant crop that will scatter money broad cast all over theSoilTll. Three hundred millions of cotton, one hundred millions for sur plus corn is a heap of money, and it will come to stay. It won't go north t'i pay debts, and it will have to go into cotton a. ills, -oil mills knit ting mills, canning factories, or sutrie oth.-r ind us' l ies 1 hat will give employment to la bor. Here in my county, that is about out of debt, t h a t will make at least ten thou sand bales of ?otton, and have 250 000 bnshelsof corn to sell. There is a half a mil lion Jollais to spare. Our farmers are raising their own meat, and the crop ot pota toes is splendid. Everything they have to buy is cheap ex cept coffee, and the tat iff will make all woolen goods still cheaper. A letter from mv son who is in England, says he bought a first-class cassimer suit of clothes for ftH), and they will be nearly as cheap here this winter, since the high tariff has been taken off. Blankets will be almost half price. Our wool factories are howling a botit this but it will turn out all right in thelongrun. Pow ers and Wightinaa howled nwfu'ly when the tariff was taken off of quinine and i dropped from f.'i an ounce to 50 rents. But thty didn't quit the business as they threatened, and are making more money on quinine than they ever did. There is noth ing like turning nr infant in dustry loose to shift for it self. A son can lean upon the old man until he thinks he can't go it alone, but he can. The old eagles have to push their young ones out of the nest or they never would leave it. but. would stay there just, as long as the patents would feed them. Low prices stimulate indus try, and teach economy and cause new methods to be iu v uited. When pig iron drop ped from 24 to 15, 1 r a 11 men swore they could not make it at that price, but they did. Then it dropped again to $ 12 and they are making it still. Farmers said they couldn't nor they would not raise cotton for 7 cents, but they keep on and will be glad to get cents for this crop. Now, if we can all have mote gratitude and less poli itics we will be better citizens and better Christians. A Kansas editor says hay fever is caused by kissing grass widows. A Mississippi editor siys it is caused by glass widows kissing a fellow by moonlight, An Illinois editor says it is caused by a kissing the hired girl while she is feeding hay to the milk I cow. Col. W. C P. Hrerkf-nridge. Tln I'.i istol ( ornerof this je-k has a lengthy, burning. iditorial n the record of Col. I 't ei-keni idge. of K.V.. mid lie concludes the scathing artic le thu: -Col. W.C.P. Br.Tkcnridge ; farewell. ():ir journey does 'not take us farther wilhyou. j May the loneliness of death 'surround vou as von aM-em! the liriuey l iver. May no song of birds nor voice of laughing children fall upon your ears. May the waters of oblivion beat ceaselessly upon tie-gun wales of your boat. And when life's journey is over may you be buried as you wish, 'in the beautiful Lexington cemete ry. 'and hive erected above ,ou a be iu!ifi:l ih ift of Bar ian marble, pointing heaven ward, fit emblem of the puri ry and decency of your life, and beariiigthesimple inserip tion: "Here lies the para mour of Madge Pollatd." "And when you shall have entered Charon's boat upon the silent river, may t h e shades of Madge's children beckon you from the other shore and wail out the awful tidings that Colonel Brecken ridge has come. And so, old spo-t. farewell. It is not likcty Mia we .dm!! mejt again, nor that we -hail tver again have orea.-iou o refer to you, Here is o u r hand, and we assure you tint it gives us no email pleasure to shake hands with sa great a scoundrel for the last time. And in parting, colonel, we beg of yo'j to believe that in what we have said we are al together siii'-ere, and if we have tailed todepictyou faith fully as the most indecent, and unprincipled man that ever went to congress, the fault has not been with oui intention. Had we known how to paint you any black er we would have done so. and we will do you the jus tice colonel, to sav that you deserve all the smut that has ever been heaped upon you and rubbed intoyi.u by the press. Your reputation has been honestly gained, and is in very way the true index to your character. 'Colonel W. C. P. Brecen ridge, we bid you adieu!" Recorder: A missionary thus speaks of a congn ga tion at a church service: ".Japanese audience are models of politeness. N o one yawns, snaps his watch, shulfles his feet or goes out, even though the speaker is talking in an unknown ton gue. Every eye is upon the speaker. When he begins to speak he is greeted by a po lite obeisance from every one in the audience: and when he concludes, another low bow from evejy one in the room says silently. 'I thank you.' After the address another song, a prayer, and benedic tion, and then what? A grab bing of hats and canes and overcoats, and a 'break' for the door? Ah! no; the Jap anese have not learned thus to close their worship. All drop into their seats again; for a full minute they sit with covered eyes a n d bowed heads, an1 then slowly and reverently passout of church or break into littlu groups." laiion Will Mot Fnv. Fusion will not fuse, nnl that's what is troibling the Rep and Pop rl igsters. In Burke Rev R. L. Patan, Populist candidate for Con gress in the Eighth district last year, repudiates the fus ion and will support Bower, whom he opposed two years ago. He is disgusted with the betrayilof priuvssed priu ciplen. Fusion will not fuse. : the fusion convention in II ay wood county, Mr. J. P. Her ren. a leading citizen of that county, withdrew from the convention, and "said bald ly on the streets," to quote rhe 'Courier,' "that if Popu lists didn't pur out a candi date that he would vote for Mr. Crawlord for Congress.' All the honest Populists in the Ninth district feel the same way. Fusion will not fuse even in Richmond Pearson's own county. L. N. Wells, a lead ing Republican in Runcorn hh county who was elected to the House in 1SS6 on the same ticket with Pearson,, has repudiated Pearson's Congressional aspi ra ti o n s and will do all in his po-v to ii''V,'i! Ihin iu.-i,n w'!l not . os the negro is .'oi'e. either. J. F. (iibor. is. . ored in .'i, writes t the ( '. . lotte '.bMrvcT; . (i vote a fusion tirke-1 I : :i never do. We might as i a eat the devil as to drink his broth. We only see one straight t'eket ia the fit J and that ticket will receive a large majority of the color ed votes, including mine. Coming events cast their shadows before them.'" Fusion von't fuse in Gas ton either. A prominent Populist in that county told the editor of the 'Gazette' that he -wanted no Repub!' can fusion in his; when hit party wanted to abandon its principles he was going to fuse back wih his Democrat ic frie.ids in whom he had confidence. Nfv.-Obterver. The Ibi'sodEu tor. The fdito'-f hat c "m c tand the abuse of the wlole town In? is situated in had better go out or business, for he will rev a- be of any account as a journalist. It will not pay for an editor to be at all sen sitive V abuse. Why is this thus" Because the e litor talks to and for the puUit ; everything he says for thh thing and against that is said publicly, and as even question is supposed to hav two sides the editor is dealt with accordingly. Things which he may have no inter est in personally, if he pub lishes one sine, he mist tx pect to be handled without gloves by those who see dif ferent. With th'i true editor this is all right. He expects it and feels about as lone some as a last year's bird's nest without it. He would feel about as important as a linen duster in midwinter, if ,o abuse ever met him, and his leelings wouUl not be de ceptive?. Give him plenty of so called abuse and he kaows at once! hot his work is ef feciive, and if he is right he will work all the h irder, an if wrong he can correct Lift work. Ex.
