MACHINE DOMINATION.
Of late years the machine has be
come almost omnipotent ia American
politics, so much so that a handful of
men can control States and say who
shall and who shall not fill political po
sitions. These men are the bosses who
put their fewa. togeiner, wnie op wio
states, and fix the wifesfor the -control
of the conventions where nominations
are made, and where, as a rule, good
care is taken that parties in sympathy
with the bosses receive the majority of
votes.' They have their co-workers in
every county and district and make
their power felt throughout the length
and breadth of the State. They confine
not their operations to the narrow
boundaries of a Stato but reach out
and control the nation through the
grand central ring of which they are
part and parcel. Conventions national,
State, district and county, are but their
people are tired of Democratic Bossism,
many oi whom will not vote tor a man
who has even the taint of it clinging to
his political record and with its death
dies also this base element.

Here is an item from the Philadel
phia Record which will interest the
denizens of Morehead City : "In More

Funeral processions are composed ex
clusively of boats, and all doctors' calls
are made in the same manner.
General G K Warner is dead of a

this accomplished soldier was cruelly
wronged by Sheridan.
cunninglyand work systematically.
Less; perhaps, than a dozen of men
arrange the preliminaries, set the wires,
that control conventions, and say who
shall be the candidates for the Presi
dency of ' the United States. These
things are managed with deliberation,
with skill, and the people are told that
the so-called convention has happily
voiced the popular will, when in fact it
has simply registered the decree of thB
shrewd manipulators who sit behind
the curtain and say what is to be done.
And so in the States.where the machine
managers cut and dry the business and
then go through the formality of hav
ing their work adoptedby a convention-
Conventions may Bometimes give ex
pression to the popular will when par
ticular emeigences present themselves
and the people become aroused, but as a
rule the people stay in the background
and the machine runners occupy the
front seats.
The people aro beginning to et tired
of it, are growing restive uuder this
machine domination, and in some States
are ia open ri-volt against ir. In Penn
sylvania, where the Camercns have
ruled the Ht-publican party for years
with despotic sway, the revu it has as
sumed such proportions as to threaten
to wrest the state from the imperious
bosses, while the Democracy of New
York, tired of Tammany dictation, has
surrendered the State rather than be
driven by John Kelly and frs associates,
and in several of the Wtatein States
which have been under Republican
rule the lines are broken, and the boss
es are in trouble. In Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Georgia, North Carolina and
Vireinia. the anti-uiachine voter is
making his presence felt, while in
South Carolina they went into the con
vention, had a clean deal and smashed
the slate all to pieces.
The day when men hii be driven to
the support of any set of candidates
and any set of principles which a few
self-seeking political m uuigers may see
nt to name and proclaim is passing
away, North and South. Tiie managers
are making a desperate fight against it,
and will make a desperate tiht against
it, for they have everjtMng at stake.
It means the loss of p;wer, patronage
and pelf to ihem, and they v4' fight
hard before they will aurrrhder these.
But when it becomes a cntnt between
the people and the m i-hiiip"i he m ichine
will soon become a nl.i nl-i.ut concern
and they who run it pi i ed-out imlivid-
uals. They may bluster and bully, mis
represent and slander, turn-'Uteir dogs
loose to bark and howl fur tliein,lut all
that won't save lliem from the fate
that awaits those who fancy they can
continue forever to drive the masses of
people, as drovers drive cattle. That
day is passing away and the sooner the
belter for the people of these boss
ruled States.

We clip the following article from

THOSE SPECIAL TAX BONDS.
It will be remembered that the Legis
lature of 1868 and '69 passed bills appro
priating about 520,000,000 ostensibly for
various railroads, but which; were real
ly stolen from the State by Littlefield
& Co. These bonds are known as the
special tax bonds, and they have never
been recognized as the legitimate debt
of the State. They have been treated
with contempt by every Legislature
which has assembled in the State since
1870, and were not considered in the re' I
cent scaling and settlement of the State 1
debt. In 1875 the constitutional con
vention submitted an amendment to
the people of the State forever repudi
ating these' bonds, which was ratified
by the voters of the State by an over
whelming majority, thus forever set
tling the question so far as we are con
cerned There has never been any legal ma
chinery by which a State could be re
. quired to pay a debt which she volun
i tarily repudiatedias North Carolina has
done In ijegard to these bonds, and it
? injection' into the present campaign by
incorporating the subject into the De

any one or any number of questions:
Two weeks ago the Charlotte Obser
see, according to Capt. Ashe, had be
come an "assistant Republican paper,'
and the captain was threatening its
editor with the establishment of an op
position daily, advising Democrats to
withdraw their patronago and sun nor t
That this advice was heeded there can
be no doubt as Col. Jones has himself
since announced that parties have been
in Charlotte arranging for the estab
lishment or another Democratic daily
paper.
Now the consideration that gave us
comfort and encouragement In this
r was not so much the uartifeiilar

influential Democratic journals indi
cate "a wide spread dissatisfaction
among the rank and file of the Demo

believe Capt. Ashe "apprehends" the
truth of this more fully than he is at
liberty to admit.

In the Borfehen"and'eastern
divisions of that State there has been
an excess of rain, causing a too vigor
ous growth of stalk, delay in fruiting
and some times shedding of bolls.
In the entire cotton belt there is a
reported excess of moisture-, injurious

many apprehensions of future loss are
expressed. The boll worm is also men
tioned in several States.
A large number of returns are re
highly favorable, prophesying a crop
as large as the land can produce, or bet
ter than for many years.
The wheat returns of August relate
to the spring variety. Its condition is
higher than for several years. It was
88 in 1880 and 81 in 1879 and 1881. It is
now 97 against 100 last month. It is
somewhat late but was nearly ready
for the harvest at the date of the
retum9. There are some indications of
rust and blight in a part of Minnesota.
In northern Iowa the crop is held to be
the best since 1879. Th returns from
Dakotah and Nebraska aie extremely
favorable. The general avwage of the
orincipal States ia as follows : Wiscon

It is quite probable that the product
of winter wheat and spring wheat,
without loss by sprouting, will sligntly
exceed 500.000.000 bushels, but the ex
travagant estimates which assume 15
to 20 per cent more are wiiq assump
tions, needlessly tending to reduce the
price of wheat in the hands of farmers.
Special agent Moffatt. of the depart
ment of agriculture, cables from Lon
don today that wheat iu England
promises an average crop of good qual
ity. In France, a medium crop, slight
ly damaged by rain in the blooming
period. In Germany the recent heavy
rains have deteriorated the quality of a
fairly abundant product. In Russia
and Austria an average crop, and in
Hungary 15 per cont above the average
The European outlook is favorable for
a medium product, with some reduction
in quality. The condition of the corn
crop is represented by eighty-three.as
against 77 last year. At thi3 date in
1881 the effect of the drought was seen
in the reduction of thirteen points in
the general condition during July, fol
lowed by greater deterioration in Au
gust. At the present time circum
stances are favorable for further im
provement in most of the States. The
averages of Southern States are nearly
all above 100
The surplus producing States average
as follows: Ohio 77, Michigan 78, In

91, Kansas 106, Nebraska 98, New Eng
land ranges from S7 in Massachusetts
to 96 in Connecticut, New Ydrk 85,
Pennsylvania 90, New Jersey 93.
The general averages of the condition
of other crops are as follows : Oats 102,
spring rye 100, barley 95, buckwheat 97,
potatoes 101, tobacco 87.
