NEW YORK NOMINEES.
For Gubernatorial Honor, Hearst
Nominated by Democrats and
Hughes By Republicans.
Oharlolte Observer.
The world is more less interes
ed in any prominent nomination
that the Democrats or Republi
cans of New York State make.
The governorship of the Empire
State generally means a stepping
stone to something higher.
Grover Cleveland and Theodore
Roosevelt went 'from the man
sion at Albany to the White House
at Washington. Welnesday the
Democrats in their convention at
Buffalo nominated William Ran
dolph Hearst, and the Republic
cans at Saratogo, Charles Evans
Hughes to bear the respective
standard in the contest for the
gubernatorial chair. Everybody
knows William Hearst, the prop
rietor of The New York Ameri
can and other papers of thesame
character; he has run for office
before. He is the Representa
tive in Congress from the ele
enth New York district. He
was born in California and is
worth many millions- As a mem
ber of Congress he has remained
a sihnt looker-on. Securing the
nomination by the party of Abram
S. Hewitt, Grover Cleveland and
David Bennet Hill for Governor
of New York State is his greatest
achievement- -
Hughes is unknown to the peo
of this section of the country, but
he lacks much of being a nonen
tity. He is a lawyer by profes
sion, and a man of line character
and transcendent ability. Up to
last year, when he was called
upon to serve as counsel for two
.prominent committees of the
New York Legislature, he had
been before the public but little.
He is one of the rarest creatures
of this century a man whom
office has sought. Hughes is re
sponsible for 80 cents gas in New
York city. His greatest work,
which has brought him feame,
was as connsel for the Armstrong
committee, appointed to investi
gate the alleged mismanagement
of certain well-known New York
insurance companies. In this
position he made an everlasting
reputation for fairness, adroit
ness and loyalty to duty. His
labor made the effort of that com
mittee eminetly successful. He
is described as the tit man that
the office must seek. WThen
asked, sou e time ago, if he want
ed to be Governor of his State
he said that he would rather fol
low his profession. He has deli
berately sought obscurity.
When Mr. Hughes travels for
pleasure he takes with him such
books as can't Philosophy, a
treatise on solid geometry and
Lycurgus. As a school bo.V he
relveled in scientific research
He has genius combined with
industry, character with indep
endence. It has been one of his
boasts that ne never votea a
machine ticket; he has never
been active in politics, but has
always done what he considered
to be his duty. He was ne of
the Jerome nominators last year
He might be called the Puritan
in public life; he is modest,
shrinking and clean. The Re
publicans of New York have
drafted him to lead their ticket
this year. If he is elected Gov
ernor he may go to the United
States two years hence or be
appointed Attorney General, if
a Republican succeeds Mr.
Roosevelt at Washington. Charles
Evans Hughes' the unknown, has
stepped before the lime light.
The New York contest this fall
will be watched with a great deal
of interest throughout the United
States. If Mr. Hearst is elected
Governor he may suDnlant
- s r
w imam J. Bryan, of Ne
ia popularity and securef

wnat may nappen nowadays m
New York State. Hearst polled
more votes when he ran for may
or of New York city last fall.
than any one in this part of the
country ever dreamed that he
would be able to do. The old fel
lows are discredited. William
F. Sheehan, Pat McCarren, Nor
man E. Meek, David Bennett
Hill, Mayor McClelland and men
of that kidney have been relegat
ed and Hearst and Murphy are
to the front.

The New Army Bullet
Philadelphia Ledger.
It would seem that in the type
of bullets about to be adopted by
the army there is a potent argu
ment for peace. The bullet is a
third lighter than any now in use
but is most deadly. Its penetrat
ing power is such that at a mile
it will pass through fifteen men,
if these had the mischance to
stand in line in front of it. At
short raDge it will go through 39
inches of eeftfoned oak. At 500 :
yards 'S"2 inches of white pino fail
to stop it, and at 1,000 yards it
ia equal to piercing 14 inches
The day when Bafwty lies in dodg
ing behind a tree appears to be
passing.
The strong point ahout this ad
mirable bullet is the flat trajectory.
v hith the present style of bul
let, fired at a target 100 yard dis
tant, one could stand with perfect
immunity at many points be
tween the muzzle and the target,
as at 500 yards the missile would
pass 17 feet oyer hiaheacThe
new bullet shows xhlySa 10-foot
rise at this distant 't' AIriaost the

A Rich Legacy.
Charity and children.
The example of the late Dr.
Chardes D. Mclver in consecrat
ing his powers to the good of his
State, will have the effect, we
trust, of strengthening the re
solution of our youth to live and
labor for the glory of North Car
olina. We are told sometimes
that State lines ought not to be
drawn . across the career of a
young man filled with ambition
to do good. We deny the proposi
tion. State lines ought to be
drawn and they will be drawn.
If Dr. Mclver had acceptrd any
of the flattering offers that, were
made him away from North Car
olina, he never would have won
that richer and more valuable
asset, the love and honor of the
the people of his own State- He
could have made a great deal
more money, but in the hour of
death how poorand paltry a thing
is money- Two young men,
briliiantly endowed, started in
life together and for years work
ed side by side. One of them
was finally tempted away and is
shedding lustre on another State.
The other put euery offer behind
him and poured the treasures of
his mind and heart into the work
of uplifting the womanhood of
North Carolina. The one is hon
ored far and wide, but the other
is loved by the people who had
gripped nis neart. rne one is
Alderman and the other is Mclv
er., The applause of listening
senates to command'is one thing
but the winning of the confidence
and affection of the people isquite
another. A. C. Dixon, glifted
in a marked degree, listened to
the call from afar and left his
old mother. He has gathered
honor with the passing years,
and if he should die to-day the
newspaper would sin his praise
and the world listen to the song.
Henry A. Brown was deaf to the
allurements of "the broader
field" and planted hiniself ia the
soil of North Carolina; if he were
to die to-day the hosannas of the
multitude wuold not be so loud
and high, but hearts would break
and tears of genuine affection
would fall on his grave. Whose
is the richer legacy to leave the
world? A man can not take root
in human hearts in a day, a year
or a decade. It is along process
and to do so ambition must be
strangled and a patriotic love for
one's people must dominate and
overwhelm all other passions.,
Zeb Vance was that kind of a
man, but suppose he had run off
to Mississippi when he was 30
years old! The man born in
North Carolina owes her a debt
that it will take a lifetime to pay

Ma. Anderson aud His Pas
times. Monroe Journal .
Major Anderson is fattening
on the fact that the show is com
ing. There be other people
hereabout that cherish much
secret pleasure on that score, but
lacking the frankness of the
Major, they keep their feelings
concealed. The Major has adopt
ed Monroe as his permanent
home on account of the quietness
and good character of the town-.
But it was geting most too quiet
for him. His only diversion for
some time has been the reciting
of the most bloody passages in
Richard the Third and talking
with his friends, Mr. Frank Aus
tin of the People's Dry Goods
Company. But even these diver
sions were failing somewhat and
the Major was casting about for
other means of passing the time,
when, lo and behold! here comes
along the forerunner of old John ;
Robinson. Having often slept
with old John Robinson, the
founder of the show, the Major
is mildly interested in the John
Robinsons, down tothe one of the
fourth generation who is now
traveling with the show. He
knows all the old clowns by name
and keeps their memories green,. .
Now he is waiting to shake hands
with the elephant and feed goob
ers to the monkey. In the old
days when the circus traveled
about on wagons of its own, the
Major was not jinknown on the
band wagon. Now he wills be
only an humble spectator, and
the show may congratulate itself
if it comes off without Undue
comparisons of the institution of
other days.
