The Iteaaoiu Why.
The Danville, Va., Register wants
to know why it is that the people o
Virginia pay $4.50 per capita, while
in North Carolina the cost is
only $1.99 per capita. It is
because North Carolina has the most
honest and the most economical
State government of any in the Un
ion. It is because the salaries sheJ
pays her State officers aresmall; it is
because her legislators are paid very
little more than their expenses, it is
because there is , no jobbery in the
public business it is because the
business of the State is manag
ed with that painstaking care and
etoirOmy that the most prudent and
conservative business man gives to
his private aftairs. That is why
North Carolina has the best and
cheapest government in the United
States, and she owes it all to the
Democratic partyr Don't let that be
forgotten! Morgantoii Herald.

"The situation is now entirely out
of the control of either the power ox
influence of the Pullman Company,"
declared George M. Pullman to a re
porter tonight. 'fThe 23 railroads
having terminals infhicago are on
one side of the labor conflict, the
American Railway Union is on the
other. The Pullman Company is
not in the battle. I have nothing
at this time to say- concern
ing the company's connection with
the trouble preceding the' strike of
railroad employees further than what
I was quoted as saying in the Rail
way Age, and Northwestern Rail
roader. I have been here quietly with
my family since Saturday last, and
am too far removed by time and dis
tance from the scene of trouble to be
able to give you any news, and as to
any probability about how or when
the strike will come to an end I am
not now inclined to talk.
"Mr. Studebaker," he added, "has
no connection in this or any other
matter with the Pullman Company, -nor
with me."
