Who he is and how so ob : scare a man got to be chairman we are not informed. He has called a - meeting of his Committee. He was , interviewed by the Philadelphia Press and he has told what he says he thinks of the political outlook. 'Whether this Jones knows more than any other Jones is more than I we can say. tie is reported as say ing his party hope to carry five Southern States next year namely, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee and Florida. It is safe to say, we believe,'that Maryland is as safe to the Democracy as several other States not named. The Vir ginia papers say that their State will -go largely Democratic next year. But this depends, we suppose, from - what certain papers say, upon' the , abolition of Internal taxes free drinks and free smokes. " Tennessee is growing less and less Democratic, but it is still safe for the . Democrats. Florida is beinor filled with Northern men who are mainly Republicans and there may be reason for fearing a reversal there of the verdict in the past. AstoWestVir- - ginia, it is an uncertain State, we lase it. mere win De a nara oontest in these and in other States. In .worm Carolina tne democrats will ;have to be very vigilant, very active - and thoroughly united to carry the otate.

This is unfortunate, as Presi- dent Cleveland means business, and - is not the man to favor rascality or violations of law.

Memtt, is a warm friend of the extension of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad, to Wilmington. He has shown this by: his worksby his legislative coarse and his editorial labors. In a recent editorial he thus refers to what oc curred several years back: "In the Senate of 'Id-SO, when the fur ther prosecution of the enterprise seemed to be blocked, we stood at the side of our friend, D. P. Caldwell, and urged the Sen ate to grant some aid for its relief. We tried to show the importanee of the great valley that it would develop, and the mag nificent capabilities of a road running from the great Northwest diagonally across our State and terminating at Wilmington. We talked about the tons of freight that would go sweeping through our State every day from the first of January to the last of De cember. We snoke of the flourishing towns and villages that would spring up all- along the line. We tried to picture wnai Wilmington wouldjbe when all ihe freight should be poured into her lap and she would become the coaling station for all vessels sailing oh oar-South Atlantic coast. It was a hard fight, and aid was granted only by the deciding vote of Lieut. Gov. Robinson. But for the zeal of Senator Cald well the bill would have failed." Wilmington should certainly be grateful for the efforts of brother Merritt and his coadjutors in the good work. The city has not always responded to such demonstrations as it should have done, but there is a brighter outlook, and it is to be hoped that while efforts are making to the north and south of us to deflect the route and gobble up the trade, that Wilmington will be alert and in earn est. Mr. Merritt says : "By all means let it be extended to our "city by the sea." Let that city now real ize its opportunity, and aid liberally in this' work. So far as the State is concerned it matters little whether the road goes to this city or lower down to Southport ; but it is a matter of vast importance to the city itsel f . It will never have another such opportunity . "When the road shall have been comple ted from Mt. Airy to the sea, we may reet assured that the other part of this grand trunk line will take care of itself. In a decade, we may expect to see the immense freightage from the Northwest reaching the ocean by the shortest and most direct line through North Carolina." The Stab has never faltered rn its advocacy of the completion of this railroad from Wilmington to Mt. Airy. It has all along had a due perception of the importance of this road, not only to this city but to the State. It opens up a fine country, as we have shown in elaborate editori als, and when all of the plans con- templated are carried out suticessful- ly there will be a very large area of country that will become tributary to some seaport. Shall it be Wil mington? Can our people afford to have this great line finding its ter- minus by the sea at u naneston or I Morehead and with no direct conneo- I tion with Favetteville? This road is a great one and it can be a great feader for Wilmington. Without it neither our city nor Southport can become a coaling station, which is very important. It is very astonishing that any part I of the Southern press should fail to insist upon a reduction of the pres ent War Tariff. Bat it is a fact that there are a score or two of leading I papers that are now advocating the continuance of the Republican War Tariff, with its inequalities, its un- I f;rnaaa AnnvA,o;ne it Southern farmers are listening to the Protection charmer it is not so with the Northwestern farmers. Not long ago a convention of farmers was held. They came from six of the Northwestern States. Here is the resolution they adopted, and we com mend it to the attention of the far mers and business men of North Car olina. They resolve. "That in the reduction in national taxes the burden should be removed from the necessaries in common use, and the absurd proposition to take the tax from spirits and tobacco in preference to necessaries de mands earnest protest. We cannot readitv believe that Congress will turn over to the people cheap whiskey and tobacco in pref erence to cheap salt, lumber, coal and do ming." What a tremendous sum is now raised yearly by taxation upon the American people! The figures for the .last fiscal year run up to the enormous sum of $371,000,000. or nearly five times as much as James Buchanan required when President, The War Tariff produced $217,000.- I 000. Of this sum a great deal was raised upon the poor man's necessa ries. The European countries are wiser than our own. " Great Britain needed in 1886, 8425,000.000.' She I raised less than one-fonrth bv" n J Tariff.

Lee. I have not time to speak of many inci dents that came under my observa tion during: the war illustrative of hia nharatr- a.tA feTitntfinf hn Via acquired nig wonderful influence over the troops under his command. I can best describe that influence 1 l t i . ov BaviDS U?WM WM meiove ana Veneration of the men for him, that they came to look upon the cause as General Lee's cause, and they fought for it because. they: loved him. To them he represented' cause, country and all. The wonderful influence of Napo leon overlhis soldiers, had for its foundation the love of military glory. it appealed to no nobler sentiment. It was as intense in wars of ambi tion, as in war for the defence of the country. Napoleon was the idol of his sol diers. Lee was the idol of his men. There is hardly an incident In Gen eral Lee's life, great or small, when be was called upon to deal with the rights and the' interests and the feel ings of others, or to deal with" mat ters affecting the public that does not present an illustration of some vir tue. I shall not refer now to the many instances that occurred; during the war in nis intercourse with his own officers and soldiers, or with the civil and military officers of the Confed erate Government. I shall only say that there. was not anf officer in his army who did not feel bound to him by ties stronger than'those of disci pline; and to whom: his' approval was not a sufficient recompense for tiny service. - The dignity and grandeurot- Gen eral Lee, ;neyer appeared to greater j e, than on the occasion of the surrender: at Appomattox.

General Graot . himself at Appomattox. - . , After the meeting . at McLain s house, where the terms of surrender were agreed upon, General Grant re quested another interview with Gen eral Lee. Upon his return to his quarters, "General Lee informed myself and other members of his staff that in his conversation with General Grant the-latter had expressed the most earnest desire that peace snouia oe instantly restored, and that not an other drop:of Americad blood should be shed. He then proposed to Gen eral Lee that the latter should forth with meet Mr. Lincoln, and said that whatever terms of pacification Mr. Lincoln and General Lee might agree upon' would be satisfactory to the reasonable people of the North and South, and should have his own earn ent support. lie told General. Lee that his influence with the Southern people would secure their concur rence, and that Mr. Lincoln's council would be accepted by the whole North. General Lee expressed the great pleasure which General Grant's noble and patriotic sentiments gave him, but declined to comply with his re quest, because be was an officer of tbe Confederate Army, and could do nothing inconsistent with his duty to the Confederate Government." CURRENT COMMENT. Mr. Edgerton greatly mis takes the spirit of the Democratic re action against the President's ex tremism in the matter of the Civil Service, if he supposes that the pro- testing Democrats mean to revive any ot the odious features of the old spoils system, with its damnable rings at Washington, its vile assess ments for party purposes and its abuse of the public servioe by the or ganization of a Btanding army of party workers composed of men in office. Nothing of the kind. We opposed simply the purposed revolu tion of the Mugwump Beanrocratic theory. We proposed that the Pres ident should restrict himself to the execution, in good faitb, of an act, limited in its provisions and tenta tive in its character. That was all. But the tempest in the teapot which has broken over the departments should be quelled at once, and rigor ously, unless the Administration looks for a nasty and damaging ex plosion next year. Louisville Cou rier Journal, Dem. The TruBt svstem. with which the people of the United States must a a - soon grapple, is intimately related to a nign protective tariii. 1 ho exis tence of such a tariff nermits this system to be applied to protected in- a dairies, and even invites such a use of it. Manufacturers who deal in materials and products that are pro tected by heavy import duties can unite to form monopolies without fear of competition from abroad so long as their prices shall not be oar- nea above a certain level. Protect ed from foreicrn comDetitidn. thev conspire to destroy all competition at noma, wnen tney nave perfected their monopolist union they can defy competition from either quar ter, for tne great power of a close Trust, pitilessly, exercised, prevents the successful establishment of com peting enterprises outside of its cir cle. When scores of great protected industries shall have been Trusted in this country, (and the number of Trusts increase every month,) when there shall have been formed an Iron and Steel Trnst, a Woollen Goods Trdsr, a Window-Glass Trust, and other monopolies which the tariff Irs t will suggest, where will the consumer and those who are frozen out of hon est industries find relief ? Not in competition in the home market, for that will have been effectually throt tled. And the tariff barrier will cut off all hope of relief by competition from abroad;ii-JV: 3Zme8, Ind.
