to the gratification o! our

mendation for him and will
only suy, in tb6 words of one
of our attorneys, "There is
none better in tbo State.'.'

Mr. Editor: Having atten
ded the Democratic Congres
sional Convention for the 8th
district of North Carolina,
held in Statesvilla on tbe
12th inst., and having been
one of the secretaries of said
convention. 1 would like to
say a few words through your
columns.
Oftourse I presume that
each and every voter of the
entire district has already
been informed that perfect
liarmonr exiKted and that
hRon. R. N. Haekett, ol
Wilkeshoro, was unanimous
ly nominated. .
All were apparently well
pleased with the result, and
wedohopethat he(Haekett)
and bis rival, whomsoever he
may be, may make a cam-
ouiitn in friendliness so that
the people of IhedistrL't may
kewise be friendly and neigh
horly after the war shall
have ended.
This of coutsa would not de
prive either of thecandhlates
of the privilege of making his
spoech to the voters for this
s absolutely necessary in the
Unterest ot liberty. SA nice,
l
clean campaign by each and
then no regrets.
John H. Bingham, Sec.
iJUBRblKSB iCC'PtHC7:
. Wisconsin's Republican sec
retary of state, Walter E.
Houser, is charged with at
tpmnteii hnberv. and -a war
rant has been issued for his
arrest. The accused man who
will be prosecuted by District
Attorney Gilbert, a leading
candidate for the office of
attornef general, announc
pr hi own candidacy for a
third term. The complaint a
gainst the Secretary is made
by State Insurance Commis
sioner Host, who charges
hat Hotiser in 103 offered
to conttibute 12.000 to the
Republican campaign fund if
tbe commissioner would ren
der a decision favorable to a
certain company, ' But why
has the latter waited three
years before preferring char
ges? was it hoped that Hous
er tnitfht raise tbe ante?
The Republicans of the
present day hove forgotten
what tbe founders' of their
party declared in i860, when
they-were seeking "tbe ap
prove! of the American
people; At that time.the
did not.nttributetbe growth
and prosperity of tbe nation
to protectionism as tnej. now
do, but to tbe true of both
that is, to tbe union of the
States acd the consequent
freedom 'of trade among
them. They declared: "That
to tb union of the States
thirt Nation owes its unpre
cedent ei increase in populn
lion, its surprising develop
ment of material resources,
iii vamri . niiumeniaiion ui
wealth, itsbappiness at home
and is honor abroad."
Thiswibe declaiatiop has
leen sturtioosly avoided in
all its recent platforms, and
the exact contrhrj has bfen
asserted. In 1892, tbe party
aaid: "We maintain that the
orosperious condition of our
conntr is due to the wise
revenue legislation ol the last
Republican Congress.
For a generation or more
the advocates of pio'ection-
ism who controls that part
and plunder people ol an
pajties, have ascribed tbe con
tinuance of prosperity to us
own legislation; thus giving
the lie direct to the ' RepuMi
canSOl IOOU. nuatiuumi'"

Even conservative people have
couie to the Democratic content
011 tbat fining corporations for
breuking th law of the land has
but littleeffect and that nothing
short of imprinonment of the
officials will compel obedience to
to the law. The enforcement of
law, sayB the New York Evening
Post, is bfcorMhga hobby of ex
eculive officers and district at
torneys. The new ol tbe day is
full of BDeciflc intttances. Certain
officials of the Department of
Justice at Washington are pre
dieting that there will soon be
"whole Hale suits" against the
Standard Oil Company and the
rail ways for violating tbsLelkins
Anti-Rebate law. ? If, as wellin
formed men aswrt, the Garfield
nvestteations have uncovered
2.000 illegal shipments over a
simile road, there may be fines
running into the milliotiE fines
that will make 160.000 recently
exacted by the court from the
Chicago, Burlington and Quney,
a mere trifle Tbe fines may be
salutary, but for our part we
believe that the ptnalty of ira
tjrisonment which may lw im
posed in the discretion of the
.Tilde would 1o much more to
n
inspire among shippers and com
mon carriers a wholsome respect
for the'stntuos.
It is not only our commerce
bnt our national character
that has been injured by the
frauds .and scandals now
astonishing the world. If the
laws had been faithfully ex
ecuted, sneta scandals would
have been impofnible. The
greatest and most damaging
of all these scnneals is that
laws of the United
States haye not been faith
fully executed that graft, and
hypocrisy, and cnnivan-e
at crimes and political parti
sa n success won by criminal
with 6tolen money and liush-
money, stand in the place of
dutv and- morality. The
people may applaud the
spectacular rogues for a tims
but thev will turn ami ren t

are undeceived. .
