TUE FRANKLIN TIMES. J. A. T SOMAS, Editor and Proprietor ONE YEAB, - . - - ?M -50 IX MONTHS, - 75 ;Fbidat. May. St. - - - - - IMS- THE FREE SILVER RESOLUTIONS. We published in our last issue the resolutions passed at the meeting of the Democratic ExecutiveCom mitlee in Raleigh on the 20th iust, declaring in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and emphasizing the importance of speedy action on the part of the United States, providing for such coinage, with out waiting for the co-operation of the European governments. We do not care to enter into any controversy touching the political wiBdom of tbe action of the com mitteemerely observing in pass ing that the resolutions are but ftffirmatory of the declaration of the last Democratic State Conven tion npon this question but we do desire to express our unqualified disapproval of the course pursued by a portion of the Democratic pres in this State, in denouncing tbe committee in the harshest terms and calling into question the motives of the movers of the reso lution. It might be granted that the committee made a political mistake, and yet there would be no manner of excuse for the tone and temper of the criticisms passed upon them by certain newspapers. It is as fair an assumption that tbe gentlemen compos ing the committee are honest and sincere in their advocacy of free coinage and in their convic tion that the-overwhelming senti ment of the Democratic party de manded such a declaration, as that it is their love for the party and their solicitude for its success alone which has caused these other gentlemen to deplore the action of the committee. Our brethren would consider us ex ceedingly unkind were we to sug gest that it is because they are Bailing against the wind that they are so prompt to anathematize its increase in strength and speed, and that the anticipation of approach ing death moves the political "duck" to quite as much hysterical quacking as a whole covey of dead ducks seeking to float into port again on the free silver tide" can possible give forth. But we make nosfech suggestions. We accredit them wlfh honesty of purpose, fidelity to the party, and sincere patriotism. We are no more ready to charge that they are pacing a way" for themselves into the party of centralization and oppression, than we are to concede that the members of the committee are "trimming their sails to suit the Populist breeze." We would not impeach their Democracy nor question their motives. Neither would we deny them the right to differ with the committee as to the wisdom of its recent deliverance. 'Tis not often that the leaders of any party are united upon questions of policy. But what we do deplore, what we feel at liberty to rebuke, is the unseemly promptness with which they proceeded to attack the com mittee for what they term truckling" and demagoguery, and to lavish.upon them all sorts of cheap ridicule, holding them up as "broken down politicians" and 'dead ducks" who were seeking to serve their own selfish interests and re-establish their political for tunes by mean and contemptible flattery of a deluded public, dis regardful of the interest and wel fare of the party or people. The men who compose the State Demo cratic Executive Committee and the men who are charged with the authorship of the resolutions in question are not demagogues and have yet to learn how to truckle" to any power. If they are Vbroken down," their fall was co-incident with that of the Democratic party, and they are, every one, men who have won a title to the honor and respect of Democrats everywhere, by their faithful and loyal adherence to tbe great principles of Democracy and tbe true, valiant service they have done for the people of North Carolina. ova anmrvr 4 V. o it V - .! J1 1. entered into the heart of a Demo eratic editor in IMorth Carolina to pen one word in harsh criticism or taunting ridicula of these men. They have not deserved it. But it is only their critics who nill suffer in public estimation. A SIGN OP THE TIMES. - It is pleasant to see the broad gpiritof tolerance which develop-j ed in many of' the speeches in tbe Southern Baptist convention during the discussion of the rela tions of the Prostestant churches to the Roman Catholics. Civilization and the conditions and mntnal relations attending it are fast breaking down the barriers which divide men by creeds and denominations. Those forces have brought tolerance in the practical conduct of people which will in time prevail in tbe teachings of the churches. No denomination now undertakes to follow to a conclusion tbe logic of its own doctrine. In the Catho lic church, for instance, the in evitable sequence of its theologi cal reasoning is that it is the only true church, that all outside of it arelieretics and shut out of salvation. Yet very few mem bers of that church believe that way; very few priests, if any, teach it. We doubt if the Pope himself v?ouJd declare that all who are not members of tbe church of which he is the head are inevitably doomed to eternal damnation. The Baptists be lieve that the only true baptism is by immersion. We suppose the logical result of that, fol lowed to its direct conclusion, would be that those who have not been immersed are not bap tised, and consequently are con demned. Yet we doubt if any Baptist believes that all who are not immersed will go to hell. We do not think any Episcopa lian in his heart believes that eternal life and the gift of the Spirit can be gained only by baptism by a Priest of that faith or the laying on of hands by a bishop. It is a very doubtful question whether the obliteration of the denominational lines would be good for the Christian religion. A certain amount of difference and competition is, perhaps, con ducive to activity, life and growth. The time is near at hand, however, when the bitter ness of sects will vanish, when men will respect each other's be liefs and will not attempt to ban ish each other from heaven and when the old tauut "How these Christians hate each other !" will no longer apply. The love of Christ was universal. Hi6 teaching wss broad, catholic, beatiful. Narrowness has no place in it. Tbe narrowness of the Roman Catholic and the narrowness of the Protestant will broaden together and the time is coming when no man who be lieves in and worships and fol lows Christ will be called heretic or held unclean. Charity, love, faith, are essen tial elements of the Christian faith. Tbe close drawing of lines of salvation and orthodoxy, the declaration of everlasting fire and brimstone for all who do not hold certain points of belief and systems of worship, have no part in it. The narrowest and most intolerant of all people now are the infidels and atheists. DECLARES FOR CRIME. The Progressive Farmer recent ly said, "If we were to find a man coining silver we would not tell it on him." It seems to us that this is a bold declaration for crime. Everybody knows it is a high crime against the State and so ciety to make counterfit money. Now, when the Progresive Far mer says it would not tell on a man-whom it should find coining silver, it coald just as consistent ly say that if it were to find a man counterfeiting money it would let him alone. The Democrat thinks it is time for honest men, men who love truth and justice, to stop follow ing the lead of such papers. Scotland Neck Democrat. Hon. Watler Q. Gresham Sec retary of State of the United States died last Thursday morn ing in Washington. He had been suffering for. several . - weeks, but no serious fears were entertained of his death until the Sunday previous. The funeral arrangements were imposing and impressive the services taking place at the White House by special request of Mr. Cleveland. Judcre Gresham was a man of great force of character and marked ability. He held many responsible public positions during his life,but his integrity or patriotism was never questioned. His administration of the State department was exceedingly able and conservative. He was a true man in all the relations of life. The nation has lost a valuable public servant.! Among those mentioned as possible appointees to the vacan cy thus caused at the head of the State department: are. Ministers Bayard and Ransom, Hon.'. Don. M. Dickenson and Postmater General W. L.
