DUMAM RECORDER. E. C. HACKNEY, Publisher. T. B.ELDIUOUE, Editor. WEDNESDAY February 11.1891. CUT riJsO LOOSE. 'The Republican party in North Carolina has been deceiving the people with false promises these many years, and is still at it; but the Greensboro North State, which is presumably the exponent of its best thought, has apparently become tired of cam paigns of false pretenses. In its ' latest issue, the North State ad' vises the party to cutlocse from its moorings, and no longer pre tend to do what has no inten- , tion of doing. In the following extractthere are enough changes proposed to entirely revolution , ize the party:' - " : ; ; 's;' "; The confession of faith shoulc be a frank acknowledgement , .That the national republican party is opposed to national aid for education. - That it is opposed to the tota repeal of the internal revenue ' laws. That it favors protection for American capital and labor and legislation in the interest of . agriculture. That it favors national appro priations for internal improve ments, such as great waterways postal telegraph, etc. . That it favors purity of the ballot box and honest registra tion under tne state laws. ' That it is opposed to a railroat! 'commission, and favors legisla tion protecting the people Against trusts, monopolies and extortion by corporations. Announce boldly to tne neo pie that the republican party abandons all effort to restore 'the popular system of county "government. - . That it will ignore any and every issuo that raises the ne gro question in any sucn way as 10 araw tne color line. If the bosses should change the platform to . agree with all the - recommendations quoted, it would give the average Re publican no little trouble to de cide whether he belonged to the organization or not. The thou sands upon thousands who have .been voting the ticket in the . belief that the party would pass the Blair bill, would wonder if thej had been fooling him year in and year out; but Blair has ' been retired to private life by . the Republican legislature of his own state; and thus has the prop been knocked from under that article of their faith. There fore the party may as well ac knowledge that it is against national aid for legislation, and let the voters think as they please about its consistency. ' The Republican party created the system of internal revenue and has maintained it a system of war tax in time of peace while pretending to the people that it would repeal the taxes if the wicked Democrats would only let them alone. Now it is proposed to be virtuous and de clare that the party Is opposed to the repeal of the internal revenue laws. In fact, Repub lican extravagance has become no enormous that the taxes can not be repealed without reduc ing the appropriations, and that is something that the Republi can party will never consent to do. While the proposed changes that have been the subjects of comment in the two preceding paragraphs are in the line of consistency with the record of the party, it may well be doubt ed if the abandonment of the county government and color line issues are proposed in good faith. Cut these out of the platform, and the Republican party in North Carolina would not know itself. la view of the . record that the party has made for trying to fool the people, it will not do to trust it though it may pretend to do just what the Xtorth tate proposes. Thereto nothing remarkable about the other feature of the North State's new platform. The Republican party is wedded to the theory and practice of protection; and that is unaltera bly and everlastingly tfposcd to the agricultural interests. Na tional appropriations for al most everything are favored by the Rf-publivan party; so tlyre is nothing new in that plank. To carry out in good faith the declaration that the pat t favors fair elections and honest regis tration, would require it to, dis continue tho practice of coloniz ing negro voters in Democratic counties just before elections, and to keep northern boodle out or tne state, in opposing , a railroad commission, consis tency comes to the front again, for the Republican bosses are at heart opposed to whatever the people want most. Taken altogether, the North State's iiow platform is a curi ous mixture of consistency and inconsistency. , While unde ceiving the people in some re spects, it will hoodwink them as badly as ever in other particu lars. , Reciprocity is a fact, and Secretary Blaine is a bigger man than Young Naptl on McKiu ley. . When he asked the Way and Means committee of the House to insert a reciprocity provision in the tariff bill, the Onio statesman turned the prop option down with scant cere uiony.. men the astute secre tary tried his hand with the Senate Finance committee with better success. Mr. Blaine' criticism of the McKinley bi was that it aid not open a new raarietfor a bushel of wheat or a barrel of pork; but reciprO' city has done wnat jJciimleyism was powerless to do. Last week the president issued a proclama tion declaring reciprocity to ex ist betweau the United States ad Brazil. This means that the markets of the latter coun try are open for the free impor tation of a large class of Auier can products, and for the im portation, at reduced rates, of another large class. In return for this concession, similar con cessions in favor of Brazilian product are made by our gov ernment. By this arrangement, it is expected that commerce be tween the two countries will be promoted and that the results will be advantageous to both countries. Thus far, it appears to be a complete triumph of Blaine over McKinley. High Tariff McKinley is in the presidential race for 18!2. In stead of being in the hands of his friends, as the modest as piring politician usually is, he is in the hands of John Sherman, and John is lay in j his pipes to work the McKinley boom for all it is worth. The astute sen ator from Ohio has awakened to a perception of the fact that there is no longer any hope for him; and so he has taken in hand the political fortunes of the more popular young Buck eye statesman. The plan is to run McKinley for governor this year and then bring him out for president next year with the t restige of success achieved in a hard fought battle on his na tive soil. But suppose that the Democrats repeat the perform ance wherein they elected Camp bell and laid Foraker out cold as a wedge. In that case. Me Kinley would not cut much of a figure as a presidential c indi date. There is such a thing as counting chickens before they are natcho l, as politicians .be fore McKinley have learned to their sorrow. "Defeated but not dismayed" is the way they describe Ingalls now. The sky scraping sena tor from Kansas can spit fire as fluently since his recent discom fiture as he could in the hey-day oi nis glory. When he came back from Toptka last week, ne seized the first opportunity to sail into bis political associ ates and hit them a few whacks without gloves. He told them that though he was paired agiinst tho cloture rule and the election bill, he would not have opposed thelattjr if it had not been "cumbrous, complicated, obscure and difficult." Then he went for Hoar and the other leaders in the campaign of fraud and force, and declared that they Usui "condijf ted jhe most powerful political organization known in American history to the most stupendous and over whelming disaster" it I had ever received. That was a scorcher a center shot, and several other things , all together. It shows that Senator Ingalls has a very clear perception of the effect of the ele itions last November. The glory has departed from the g. o. p. and the Kansas senator has sense enough toknow it. Julius A. Bonitz, publisher of the Wilmington Messenger, died of heart failure in Wil mington last Saturday morning, His death was unexpected; for, although he had been sick s week, he was supposed to be im proving, and it was expected that he would be well in a few days. Mr. Bonitz was born in Germany in the year 1841, and came to America in 1857. He engaged in the newspaper busi ness at Goldsboro after the war, and remained there until 1887 wheu he removed to Wilmington and established the daily edition of the Messenger. He worked against difficulties and over came obstacles that would have overwhelmed many other men. Tho death of Julius Bonitx is loss to tne state and to the pro cession of journalism. One hundred and thirty-five million dollars were appropri ated for pensions by vote of the Senate last Thursday. It has noS been many years since Mr, Garfield, as chairman of the House committee on pensions reporting a bill appropriating oue hundred millions less than the present appropriation, said that the annual expend! ture for pensions would prob ably decrease from that tune year by year, "unless our legis lation should be unwarrantably extravagant." In the light of recent events, it would seem that congress is somewhat given to extravagance. And yet the end has not been reached, as it was admitted in debate that there will probably be a defi ciency of several millions after he appropriation is exhausted. Senator Hoar, of Massachus etts, who is known to fame by the endearing name of granny, has became tired of public life since the burial of the force bill, and has intimated to his frie.ids that he will shake the dust of Washington from his feet at the expiration of his present term. The ' announce ment of his intended retirement has been received without any public demonstration of grief or regret. Indeed, it ia supposed that his fellow citizens are quite unanimous in the opinion that since the miserable failure ot his attempt to cram the election law down the throat of the South, life to him is not worth living. Granny Hoar has out lived his usefulness, if there ever was a time when he was useful to the country. Free silver coinage seems to be done for at this session of Congress. The Senate bill in hung up in the House commit tee, and the chances of its see ing the lv,rht of day are con tinually becoming smaller. The other day, tho silver sentiment of the House was tested in com mittee of the whole. An amend ment was oifure J to an appro priation bill providing that owners of silver bullion might have it coined into standard dol lars at the mint. The chairman ruled the amendment ut of order, and was sustained by a small majority on a full rvie, This is regarded as decisive fc the session, a i it is supposed that members would vote on a free coinage bill as they did on the appeal from the decision of the chair. The KMital telegraph bill re ceived its quietus in the House last Friday. This was John Wanamaker's pet scheme, but the House did not take to it kindly. Tne country is not yet prepared to take charge of tho telegraph business and run it in connection with the postofilces. Our Sam, as Durham delights to call him, Your Uncle Jones, as he calls himself, won laurels in a new arena last week. In November he preached at Pale stine, Texas; and as his man ner is, criticized the official con duct of the Mayor, because. he said, it needed criticizing., hat one galluspd; innividnnl aid low for Sam; and when the atter was at Palestine the oth er day waiting for a train, jumped on him "with a cane. Durham's favorite camo to the scratch in fine Btyle, took the Texan's cantt from him and wore lum out with it. That night the citizens of PaUstine held a mass meeting and unani . . musiy adopted resolutions re questing the mayor to resign. Sam admits that he is slightly disfigured, but declares that he is still in the ring. Itissub-rosa talk at Wash ington that Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, will retire to the bosom of his constituency at the expiration of his present term of office. The defeat of the cloture resolution evidently did the business for him. -The governor of Pennsylvania is an executive curiosity. Last week, the legislature passed a joint resolution providing for ( printing ten thousand extra copies of the governor's inaugu ral address, and the governor vetoed it. He did not care about having his vanity tickled in STOVES! ' Just received at luy Storeln Durham a Uro It CHEAP GOOK AND KE&TIH9 STOVHS 1011 FARMERS.
