It U stlci tiitt Senators and Con

auecessf idly, urging the cUiois of
their )fcce- eking constituent. ilr.
Cleveland and . dtia Cabinet officers are
very slow in tlie matter of instituting
"Democrats fjr Republicans ingovetyi-
inent offices.
The Dm6cr.u?y of Western North
Carolina, if not of the whole State,
are douhtless disappointed jat,tbe fail
ure of the adminislr.it ion td appoint
Ih'atfgrad old Democrat, Hon.W. M.
Bobbins, minister to Sfexico, an honor
which all so earnestly desired should be
bestowed upon hiru. There are, how
e ver, many more positions to be filled
yet, and we hope Jr.j. Robbius may
be given a place worthy-of his excellent
fjualificafioks
IN AFFLICTION. ...
"The Democratic press of the State
is laughing scornfully at jthe following
bit of whine from- the Rockingham
Spirit of. the South. This old Rad is in
great affliction ;
We think we have seen about the last of
civil liberty in thi country. The Demo
cratie partv haviu; successfully bull
dozed and stolen its way into the pbsaes
pion of every branch f the general gov
ernment, we haveuo idea thai it can be
diaiudgcd without a resort to a bloody
civil war, which all good people will try
lo avert. Pour white folks and negroes,
you must now be content to take seats in
l-he rear.'

pot be so much Sabbath desecration
among government offices at Wash

custom of public receptions. Much
valuable time is thus lost which ought
. to be devoted-to the7 public service.
AH the dmculs ofthe government

riVEH3IFY.
As a friend to the agricultural in
terests of the State and of the South,
the Watchman, with ether leading
j urual, would warn our. farmers to
thiulc. seriously- this coming planting
. season before they decide to increase
Cheir cottoti acreage." If a big cotton
.crop is raised this year; it is certain
that low prices will ruin many afarni
7 er next fall. ThV news from different
' sections of .the State indicate that pre
parations are being made to plant and
cultivate an unusually large crop of
cottou,, and this, too, in face of the
' lesoji of.the reasons of '91, and '92,
whieh ought to have taught them that
supply and demand doe rule prices.
Rut many of them still seem to think
that this natural law of common sense
has nothing to do with prices,, and
Mem determined to blindly rush to
Aheir ruin.
DICK MAY 3ff0T EETJRE.
It i announced by a Washington
correspondent of the StaUscilli Land
mark, that there U a probability of
Judge It. P. Dick's retiring at an early
day from the beucii of the United
States District Court, and that in ca
he does Hon. John S. Henderson will
Jbe a candidate if or Judge Dick's plbee.
Abetter and more worthy man for the
jvxsittou could not be found, for ,.Uj
Jsnpwr that John S. Henderson would
tijj any pyhlic ofiite with unsurpassed
' 1 "'J ..w.v. .uuuj Ulilllllcu ICOipO
ubility and fidelity, and would do his1ary clerks employed in the second aud-
full duty to both the govern me tit and
the jreof le; but, the question is, can
the otd 4 th Congressional district af
ford to give bim up ? j As Congress
man ins Held of usefulness is wide, and
he can he of a great deal more rbeue-
ht to tjje people of his State and of
the South thari he could 'possibly be
were he 'raised to the bench of the
Federal court. Of course --we, 'with
.eyery true North Carolinian, would re
joice to see this noble son of old 'Row
an honored as bis great worth , justi
ties, but' we kuow be is a true patriot
and will do duty for his people where
ver placed, and for this reason we
' can but think it were better for his
State for him -to remain t his present
.post. , v '--' -i;.';"" ,
Since the above was put i,a type we
?ee it stated, IB a pu bashed interview,
by thejyeditcpj o,f the Greeusboro Re
cord, that Judge Dick jsays jie Jttas no
intention of .resign ip - j
' IT WAS.' EXPECTED. .
The subscription book of the Watcii
majs" is undergoing quite a change. At
their request, we are striking oC t?e
names of Populists, one or in ore every
da'. This was expected. -The present
proprietors, being life-long Democrats
of a very positive kind, did not hopetp
le able to keep even a VconsdderahlH
number of the followers, of Putter &
Co. On t he 6t her, fiand, a very en
couraging number of Democrats have
had their names enrolled as subscribers,
thus keeping the bopk on a balance.
Thus is duly appreciated.
- But we1' have written nothing harsh
or bitter of the great body of th Third
party. Many men went into that par
ry thoughtlessly, others were .spurred r
on br prejudice, others were deceived
by lies skillfully inwrought with
threads of truth, and others still found
themselves committed before they dis
covered the drift of the movement.
VYe realize the fact that many of these
men are: quite sincere, and it' would
therefore be worse than idle to heap
abuse upon them. But there is no
-language severe enough to de-scribe the
conspirators who organized thh move
mentthe leaders. Holden once im
ported a lot oi -ruffians' to insult and
terrorize the people of the State ; but
he nearer sought to poison the minds
of our plain, honest folk ; he did not
worm himself into their confidence to
extort tribute from them. Unforgiv
able as was his offense, it was small in
comparison with that of these 4ipa
triots, whose meanness outranks any
thing in the history of this country.
No, Populist friends many of them
are personal friends to the writer we
can not write the rot, the miserable
rot, you used to see in this paper ; we
can not, and we would not if we could.
We can part if necessary, bdt time and
more light will stow the justness of
our position.

" A Difficult Task.
The Philadelphia Telegraph, a Re
publican papc", serves notice on its
party that it cannot exect to regain
its lost power unless it changes its
course very decidedly. . Its tariff poli
cy, its reckless extravagance with
the public funds, its subei viency ;to
unworthy leaders; have, in the opinion
of the Telegraph, produced the disas
ters which have- recently befallen it.
The Telegraph clamors for the reform
of the Republican party, but docs not
point out the way by which it can be
accomplished. That wo'jld be a very
difticult,task. It is uot an easy thing
for the leopard to change his spots.
Our virtuous Philadelphia friend
must know that the eaiue set of men
who have directed the policy of the
Republican party for the past sevetal
years are still in command of it rat
tled ranks. It is still the party of pro
tection and extravagance. The coun
try will not soon be willing to entrust
the government to to the Republican
party on a mere profession of a change
of heart. For a long time to come
that party will be judged by the record
it uade during the past thirty years.
A Forest City Catastrophe.
Forest City, N. C. March 13 A
terrible catastrophe took place here
this morning at 7 o'clock. .
The boiler of the Florence Cotton

eral tons, -was thrown some' thirty
yards. The windows in many houses
in town were completely shattered.
The operatives had just gone to work
when the explosion took place, md
those that were not killed or im'iiivtl
were terribly stunned. Pe pie in the
neighborhood were thrown to tiin

Er. Ilcj-g's Lecture at Trinity.
Cor. Stale Chronicle.
Dr. Thos. M. Hogg lectin ed before the
faculty aini students of Trinity College
on tue morning of the 11th. Besides 'the
college people a good representation of
citizens of Durham was present. The
lecture whs entitled, '"The Nicaragua
and-iSucz. Canals, ihe 3'Iechanical Inven
tions, and -Financial Institutions which
have made these Canals 'Necessary to the
World's Commerce " The treatment
was from the historical standpoint; first,
showing the place that iron and steel had
in the development of the agencies of
transportation; second, showing the place
tiie maritime ship had in opening the
channels of international trade; and last-
iy, the lmaucial system by which the
small saviugs were gathered iiuo the ex
hauslless resources of modern huauce.
The building of the Nicaragua rnnal
cr - : w
is particularly full of possibilities fpr the
South. It's eastern mouth is only 1,300
miles from New Orleans, the southern
port of ihe Mississippi vnllev, with its
11,000,000 of population. Thus it affords
an outlet ior me west to Europe that it
has uot yet enjoyed.
Dr. Hogg urged the building of the
canal for the following reasons:
1. Because it would put us in the mid
dle of the commercial world, making the
cornmtrcial routes betwecu Europe and
Asia to center in America.
2. As a strategic measure for the de
fense of America.
'6. As a means of ooeuinir nearer anA

Sensible Farmers.
The Arkansas fanners, in a large
and representative convention", says the
Atlanta Journal, have determined to
reduce I heir cotton acreage asd have
pledged themselves to abide by this
Itolara'.ion.
The convention went further and
advocated, in the strongest terms, an
increased diversity of crops as the best
. 7
ui cans of improving the condition -of
i he sontbrru farmers.
It would profit the farmers of Ar
kansas very little to reduce th- ir cot
ton acreage if the faruieis in other
States should plant as much or nii.re
cotton as ever before. iut the Arkan
sas convention will have :-ts t ff,-ct in
the direction of a general shoi teiiino of
ihe crop. This convention ake I for
th interstate convention to speak for
the whole so ttli, and such a meeting
ni ay be he'd soon.
Thre is no douot that the sontiiesn
tanners have been doin a reat deal
of thinking on this ipiesli m recently
