The Duty of Southerunien.
It would be amusing if it
were not so ridiculously tire
some, when men professing to
bo Democrats are heard to say,
"they cannot support Cleve
land, because of his anti-Democratic
record." When these
gentlemen are asked to name a
single Democratic principle he
fails to represent, they,, after
stammering and stuttering,
point to the fact that Mr.
Cleveland retained in office
many Republicans. This seems
to be the head and, front of his
offending. These gentlemen
seem to forget that Mr. Cleve-
and, when taking the oath of
office, obligated himself to ad
minister the laws as he. found
them. That he did this no man
can deny.' Instead of this be
ing an objection, it should
command the support of all
honest men be they Republicans
or Democrats.
Southern Democrats should
of all men be the last to make
expressions of this kind, inas
much as they found in Mr.
Cleveland a friend, and we
have had few of them at court
in these latter days.

that the South was part of our

The Republican party has its
candidates in the field. Harri

scntatives of the party that
nominated them. They stand
on tho record of that party.
They are the representatives of

to stamp the liberty of the peo

our election laws.
The party that has maintain

i be platform of the parly in

fine-sounding sentiments they
adopted, the real platform is
the party's record, and on that
record Harrison and Reid must

Democracy means more than

that are essential to good

A Uniformity of Weights ana
' . . Measures. " ;' ; '
The easy and quick inter
course of all civilized nations
with each other and their in
timate relations in trade, call
for a uniformity between them
as far as possible in the stand
ards of value and in the weights
and measures used. Between
the United States and the other
countries of America and the
nations of Europe there is bo
reason why the system of coin
age should not be the same. It
would greatly simplify their
intercourse in every respect.
Were their gold and silver coins
of the same denominations and
in each country had the same
proportion of theprecious metals
and alloy, how easy, the ex
change between them would be
come. Commerce and business
relations would be promoted and
being more simple would of
course be safer. Our decimal
system of coinage is the best,
easiest, and most natural. What
is true of money is likewise
true of weights and measures
In this we together with the
other English speaking nations,
are behind the times. The'
metric system is in use in all the
European countries perhaps e
ceptthe English speaking and
the Russians. This system is
now in universal use in the
scientific world It is, as every
one knows, a decimal system
and goes up and down in tens or
factors of ten. The hard Greek
names sound a little formida le
at first but they , are few aid
easily remembered - i
i be adoption of these uniform
international systems would be
of infinite advantage in all com
mercial computations and would
tend to simplify our own sys
tems, which are both complicat
ed and benindthe times.
How many people know now
what "three barleycorns,"

Or would think of laying three

is a demand in this age for great

these weights and measures un
der the metric system, can be
reduced to a single standard
and all of them referred to a
single unit of measure to cover
allcase8. This would not only
produce accuracy and exact
ness, but the simplicity of it as
soon as understood would be of
untold convenience. Between
the nations of the world it would
be a long stride towards a uni

There is no man in thfs

able to sell such small appoint

This Adlai lived about 1.014

Adlai means the Just, but So

An Historical 1'rize.
Dr Charles G. Hill, of Balti-
more, offers through Dr. Steph
en B. Weeks, the Professor of
History and Political Science in
Trinity College, to the students
of that institution, one hundred
dollars for the best work done
there in the history of N. C.
This sum will probably be di
videdinto two parts, the first
prize of sixty dollars to be gien
for the best piece ef work, the
second prize ol $40 for the next
best. The conditions of award
will be published later. The
first award will be announced at
the commencement of WJ-i. Dr.
Hill is a native of North Caro
linaitnd a brother-in-law of
tho Rev. Dr. John R Brooks of
the Western N. C. Conference.
He is much interested in the
history of the State and has
taken this means to eucourge
and foster that spirit of histori
cal research which is beginning
to take shape at trinity college
under the inlluence of Johns
Hopkins methods.
The history of North Caro
lina has been imswritten or
poorly written at best. No man
has come to the subject in the
past with the proper equipment
for the work; but with more ma
terul than hitherto and with
scientific methods Trinity Col
lege should easily take the lead
in historical wurk. We thank

praiseworthy act. Raleigh

' The Force Bill the Issue.
The Democratic party comes
to the people upon the issue of
tariff reform. T.'te Republican
party declares for protection
and consequently for monopoly
and class legislation; but, in
view of the proceedings at
Minneapolis, the whole cam
paign is the Force Bill, an
abomination born in a desperate
bour, and put forth to save the
federal offices for the republi
can party. '
W e grant that there Are some
who did not prefer Mr. Cleve
land; they made the contest
against him and lost their
cause; but they are just as
faithful to Democratic princi
ples as we are. We have had
our little rivalry for men we
now come, one and all, for
principles and success
lhe day is at hand when
every Democrat must face the
real situation. The party and
men who placed Mr. Harrison
in the field know full well that
a very decided majority of the
American people are wedded to
Democratic principles. So far
as protection is concerned they -care
nothing. It is a mere
rallying appeal to ignorance
and fear. They would take
free trade or anything else,
If you will only let them
have the offices.
And they are resolved to do
this if it takes a bayonet to
every ballot, and of this desper
ate greed for office was born
that climax of iniquity, the
Force Bill. The Republican
party managers know that tho
elections in Texas are just as
fair and honest as those of
Maine or Pennsylvania, but
they mcst have the office?.
They propose to do at the polls

sentatives did put in their

and this free

is the cold, stubborn fact facing
every Democrat, and whether
we have had our personal pre
ferences gratified as to the
candidate, it matters not, the
"mailed hand" of lleedism
must never hold the ballots of
the people. We must win.
No Mercy.
The condition of the national
Treasury as four years of Re
publican administration are
drawing to a close presents a
painful contrast with its condi-
four . years ago. Then the
Democrats had administered
the financial affairs of the
country for one presidential
term. 1 be result ot that honest
and economical administration
was the payment of millions of
dollars of the nationat debt be
fore it was due, and the accu
mulation of a surplus in the
Treasury of from eighty to a
hundred millions in addition to
the sinking funds and the hun
dred millions of gold held for
the redemption of greenbacks.
A reduction of taxes was pro

and now that a new fiscal year
is begun heavy damn will m

amendment attached to it on
the motion of Mr. Morgan:
That the secretary of the
treasury shall proceed to have
coined all the silver bullion in
the treasury purchased with
silver oia certificates:" Mr.
Morgan explained that as the
bill repealed the act of WM
there would be no provisions
for coinage of silver dollars
unless this amendment was
adopted. The bill was ordered
to a third reading ana passeu,
29 to 23.
