Our bright and always inter esting contemporary the Raleigh Daily Tribune, puts a chip on its shoulder for the Argus by reason of an editorial of our esteemed friend and contemporary the Wil mington Messenger, which we re produced, with due credit, in these columns one day last week. We published the editorial in question without a line of com and, therefore, we are at a loss to know why the Tribune did not take issue with the Messenger in the first instance, instead of with the Argus, a week later, and at second hand ? But this query is not indicted for the purpose of shirking any controversy with the Tribune or shifting the responsibility for the editorial in question, which we published from the Messenger in full and which we endorse as fully - and more so, if necessary. Commenting on the editorial in question, the Tribune says: So far as the Executive of the State is concerned, there is a modicum of truth in the abeve extract; but so far as the Repub lican party is concerned, there is not an atom of truth, sense or reason in it. "So far as the laws enacted by the late Legislature go, we are free to say the bulk of them are wise and the best ever made by any Legislature of North Caro lina. 'There were laws enacted that are not approved by the Repub lican party, but will the Argus be as honest as we, in admitting that no Legislature that ever sat, failed to pass laws that were or could be approved by all the peo ple? 'This last Legislature did pass such laws, but they were few comparatively speaking, and will be corrected by the next Legis lature. "We do not all see things alike, and a law that Republicans believe to be for the best inter est of the people, may be consid ered by Democrats bad. "That is a matter of State and political opinion; but to charac terize the Republican party as a gang of rascals, etc., is so con -temptible. mean and low lived that it is hardly worthy of a res spectable newspaper to call at tention to it, 'Governor Russell has made many mistakes in his appoint ments. It was right that he, or any Governor, should have cer tain power in the State, but the Governor has gone out of his way; he has displeased his party, but it is to be hoped that these men thus appointed may fill the offices economically and honest ly; but many of them are not Re. publicans, and the Republican party cannot, and will not, be responsible for their acts. "The Republican party stands for good government, for honest and economic government govs eminent for and by the people. It represents the best interpret tation of statecraft, and while there may be (and it is unfortu uate) differences among its mem bers if wrongs and mistakes are made, they must fall upon the heads of those in authority, and not upon the Republican party, for to a certain degree they have broken away from that party and set up shop of their own; but the grand old party will remain true to its principles and steadfast in its effort to better the condition of the masses of the people." In reply to all this wiggling in and wiggling out of the Tribune, the Argcs has simply to say, that next to Populism in power we consider the Republican party in power the greatest curse that could befall the people of the State. And we will be "just honest as the Tribune," and say, in the words of the Caucasian, that the late Legislature was the "most damnable disgrace" that ever afflicted our State. The Republicans and Populists fused for pelf and pie . Both are without principle when office is in "sight. We regard neither as l e- liable for the government of a people, and both as to -be feared and fled from as the deadly pes tilence that stalks at noon day.

To-day Governor Russell and Attorney General Walser had an injunction served on them and one will be served on each of the newly appointed directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad restraining them from attempting to carry out two acts of the general assembly, amend ing the charter of the said road, which gives the governor con trol of that road. This action is brought by W. R. Tucker, of Raleigh, the largest private stockholder in the road. Ex Judge Boykin and Armistead Jones, Esq., will appear for Mr. Tucker. The restraining order is returnable befor J.udge Simon ton at Greensboro April 6th, the day after the hearing of the North Carolina railroad injunc tion case. Governor Russell said he had not read the papers served on him. He said "I will appoint the state's proxy if I choose, and when I choose. I shall not ask any United States judge, when I can do so, I have had no occa sion to make any appointment. Dortch resigned six months ago." The True Rmedy. W. M.

Ex perimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King's New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain und sure cure for coughs, colds, whooping cough, etc," It is idle to experiment with other remedies, even if they are urged on you as just as good as Dr King's New Discovery. They are not as good, beeause this remedy has a record. It cures and besides is guar anteed. It never fails to satisfv- Trial ree Hill's Drug store. DEATH RECORD OF A DAY. Mrs. Margaret J.

How often do we hear, tliat the ave nue to an early grave was opened by neglecting a slight cough and cold. Profit by this truth, and provide your self with J)r. Bull's Cough Syrup, which instantly cures all throat and lung affec tions. Mr. W. II. Mahoney, Lowell, Mass., writes : "1 was taken sick with a bad cold. The doctors did not seem to help me, and everybody said I was getting consumption, when a relative recommended Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup. I got a bottle and it helped me, and after taking two bottles I was cured, to the surprise of everybody. I shall always recommend it to my friends, as I know it to be a sure cure.? Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup is sold everywhere for 25 cents. Don't accept a substitute. RHEA AGAINST BRADLEY. If Hunter is Elected Contest for His Seat Will be Dropped. Frankfort, Xy., March 28 Congressman Rhea, of the Third District, has wired the Third District Democrats in the Legis lature, urging them not to vota for Bradley for Senator. A big delegation of Democratic politi cians fiom the Third District, among whom were Mr. A. B. Rhea, Hon. Wilbur F. Brodier, Judge J. C. Sims, Sheriff Mason, Mr. Rodes, and Hon. C. W. Mc Elroy have been here working openly in the interest of Hunter. They say that if a Republican is to be elected at all, they want Hunter elected, as by putting him in the Senate, his contest against Rhea in the House would be dropped. On the other hand, it is said Senators James and Jones, Republicans, have been assured by Hunter that he would press his contest agaicst Rhea, and should he gain the seat, would resign,- thus giving each of them an opening in the special Congressional election . which would follow. If Hunter does not wiu by Thursday Judge W. H. Holt will be sprung as the Republican can didate and will be supported by the full Republican vote and at least six sound money Demo crats. A.deal has been effected between the Republican leaders and sound money Democrats, Hunter's leaders acquiescing, in which Judge Holt is to be sub stituted for Hunter if the latter does not win by that time. The Republicans in turn will indorse the gold Democrats' mominee for Clerk of the Court of Appeals next fall. Gov. Bradley and his faction have also given assur ances that they will support Holt. ' A large number of legislators and politicians who bad spent Sunday at home returned to night, and the situation again became full of interest. Mr. Sam J. Roberts, iate chairman of the Republican Campaign Commit tee, arrived from Lexington to night, and was ushered into a conference with ex Secretary of State Sam M. Taylor, of Ohio, which lasted till a late hour. The conference is supposed to have related to the dual subject of Hunter's election, if possible, and the substitution of a new candi date if Hunter does not win on the next ballot or two. The anti Hunter men in the Legislature gave out a statement to-night ex plaiuing more fully the grounds .of their opposition to Hunter. The anti-Hunter leaders claim to-night that they will have one, and probably two, accessions from the Hunter ranks to mor row. At any rate, an election on to-morrow's ballot is not consids ered possible.
