2 CONDEMNED BY ALL NOBODY IH$ % WORD OF PR • FOR THE DOUGLASS LEG ISLATURE. THE GAME COCK OF MACON TALKS. Me the Increase in the IVumber of Magistrates was Only to Fool the People in Regard to County Govern ment and that Fully Two-thirds of the Magistrates in the East now are Negroes— A few Things to be Re membered—The Legislatures Record. I a the session of the Legislature just closed, the man who was most promi nent in the debates and who plied the Ush most severely upon the backs of the spoilsmen, was J. Frank Riy, the rep e tentative from Macon county, commonly known as the “Fighting Cock of Ma con.” Mr Ray stopped in Asheville on his wav home, and while he was there the Citizen had a talk with him about the work of the Assembly and its pr >ba ble results to the people ot the State la reviewing the work >f the session Mr. Ray said the Fusionists had increased the number of magistrates and taken away all their powers, and this he thought had been done only to make people think county government had been restored to th m and to give ofli es to tb un. Over two-thirds of the magis trates in the east now are u< g oes. n tpiteof its endeavors, the Legislature did not reorganize the penitentiary. The matter was kept off till the last day and President Doughton ru ed that there was n<> election, Kitchin having received 76 votes for superintendent while the re quisite number was 86 “The election law,” Mr. Riy cootiu ■ed, “is a very long document,. One of the important changes is that the safe guards of registration are torn aw*y and frauds can aud will creep in. I provides that a device may be used on a ballot. The clerk- of the court take the place of the commissioners in appointing judges aud registrars of election. They are appointed upon the recommendation of the chairmeu of the State executive committees of the Republican. I> nio eratic and Populist parties. The Prohi bition's are not considered in the new law. Think of the chairmen of the Sra*e committees reeomm-nding who shall be judges and registrars for Hominy town ship, in Buncombe county. “The L g sl oure raised the appropria lions of the University and the State Normal. The Fred Douglass resolution carried tho Confederate monument ap propriation It was carried in the House by the eff>rt of Lusk. We killed the Code C unmission even after they had d-Kitei their men The majority were glad of Lusk's leadership but he was noi able to get any p ; e. “S me of the laws passed were for the good of the Republican party, bur not one is for the good of the i»eop!e. Where over they could they created an office. Cooke and Ewart were the j »dge ships S Orho Wilson g»t the railroad oommi-sionshiD, and Kitchin wis »o get the penitentiary job The railroad com missionership trill provides for a reduc tion of the salarv of that offi er, hut it does not take effect until tour years hence. Ito d them they were reformers at long range. “Uuder the new criminal d’striet court oil I, the courts wi 1 cost s"io,ono annually, eateulated upon the cast <-f the present court of Ne v Hanover county. The salaries of the judges are paid from the State treasury, and Buncombe will have to pay a part of the costs of prose cations in the eastern counties. “There was a bill to make George Smatbers Sta'e’s proxv of the Atlantic and Norih Carolina and the North t'a’*- olina railro «d , taking absolute control of the roads from the hands of the board of directors With the Republicans in charge in days past the people had to pay the deficit in the running of the reads, while under the Democrats the roads paid a dividend of three per cent. This bill was defeated “The majority oroposed to appoint an insurance commissioner, at a salary of abom $3,000 a year, and c »s's, which would have amouo r ed to $5 000 or SO. 000 a year. This was kihel Tneu they nommated and elected a shell fish commissioner and provided f r another inspector, although they had rep-aled the act providing for a commissioner of this sort. Senator Parsons of Hyde was elected. He has no office, but will draw his sa’ary. “One sample of the L>gisl*ture"s idea of its business is given in one resolution passed, of which the following is almost verba* i n: “ Res deed, That A A. Campbell of Cherokee, T J. Phillips of Pitt aid J. E. Bryan of Oha’h tin, be an i are hereby appointed a committee to investig t’e all matters in dispute between Mrs. Ptttie D. B. Arrington and herhasband, with pow rto sen 1 for persons and papers, administer oa'hs aid examine witnesses, and to punish for c >ntempt for violation of any lawful order issued by the c >m mifctee in as full m inner as is now vested i» the ju Iges of the Super or court. If possible to ma<e a re >ort bes >re the ad journment of the present General As sembly the committee shall report to this General Assembly; if not possible, it ahall rep >rt to the Supreme Court, and the State Auditor is required to draw his warrant on the State Treasurer for (he payment of tho expenses of said commit tee while investigating said mitters in dispute, and the Treasurer shall pay the same ’ “The committee can sit all the year around and until the next legislature and the treasu-or is bound to pay the bill. The rjsol ltion pi-sid both houses, having bam introduced by Senator Hoover, a Pop llist, and the committee u atw inves igati lg th“ case There is Highest of all in Leavening Power. —Latest U. S. Gov’t Keport ABSOLUTELY PURE s m ■ lit gat ion between Mrs Arrington amt her husband, and just what business the legislature has in taking charge of the case has never been figured out. ••Another peculiar thu g about this session was the frequency with which bills were stolen. Hardly a day pa-sed that a bill wasn’t sto'en Why, the) could s’eal bills in seven different lan guages. How the bills were gotten hold . f is a mystery.” Coming to the body <uid its work as a whole Mr Rav said: “I never saw the equal ot it. the Populists are disgusted and the Republicans are sore. This Leg i.-lature will be tbecau-e of a Democratic majority at the next election beyond a doubt. *lt fixed things so that all the fusionists will have ‘leafs of absents The people will not tolerate any such ac rions. Take one or two men from the House aud the fusionists did not have a man who could be called a leader “The Citizen, News a'D Observer, Charlotte Observer, Wilmington Messen ger, and other Democratic pap rs of the Stae kept the body from doiug lots more than it did. A passenger on the tram as 1 eime up remarked that but for the Democratic press and and the mi nority there would not have been an in atituiiou left to the State.” THINGS TO HE REMEMBERED. Some of the Things the Le£i‘>la?uro Dill ami Some they Failed io Do. Wilmington Mtssenger. I Tne Radie 1 “r- farmers” increased the taxes four cen’s in the SIOO of pro p rty. This puts upon the people iens of thousands of dollars additional taxes for years. 2* They increased the expenditures in ‘Ppropruitions, above reductions, $69,- 000 3 Thev cat down the appiopriations for the University of North Carolina $10,0"0 yearly. 4 They tried to destroy the State Guard, so important to North Carolina through the years and more imp >rtant n >w than ever before, by reducing the State aid by $20,000 5 They sought to afflict and diminish th comforts ot the maimed Confederate soldiers finding shelter at the Soldiers’ Home by cutting down the b gnarly hlp $2,000 Who hut ungrateful igno r onuses wou’d dare to perpetrate such a wiong. nay, such a crime agar st the poor and the crippled and the aged? 6. They voted to honor the memory of Fred Douglass, thehoa-y miscegena ! 'onist auu the Jotiu Brown co conspirator and insurrectionist, who tried to persuade President Lincoln at tne beginning of the war to arm all the Southern slaves rhat they might butcher the women and children and old men at home. While voting to honor the old rascal who tra duced his best friend, Horace Greeley, at Rile gh, the Radical humbugs voted against honoring the memories of George Washington and Robert E. Lee, the two most il ustrious men of Southern birth aud lineage 7 They did not have sense and pa triotism enough to pro\ ide tor the rep resentation of N .rth Carolina at the Atlanta Exposition of 1895, that promises to be an occasion of great interest and im ortauce to the entire South. The Radicals would not vote an appropria tion While other Southern States are taking advantage of the grand opportun iry for exhibiting their resources and products to the hundreds of tnousands of visitors, North Carolina that possibly leads all in the diversity and riehms- 1 of i’s produce, is to be left urnepresen’ed. It is a pos t ve sh*me and disgrace But ■vhat better C' Uld be expected of such foo's and real gnants, coached by such demagogues ? 8 The running expenses of the Radi cal thing—hardly to be called a Le*;is lature in any proper sens-* —but atraves ty, a bur Usque, a sham, an aggr gi rion of corruptionists and a«sea tnis thing actually cost $6.6:8 more to the tax payers than the iVmoi ratio Legis lature of 18«2 cost, and both for sixty days. The>e incapabbs and ranrers told the people that if they were el. cted the way they would whack expenditures and reduce burdens on the people would make the Democratic heads swim and the cabins rejoice. Behold their devil ish deeds and see the work of seaseless “R-fawmers.” 9. The corruption and profligacy ran riot. Lo >k at the stealing and mutilat ing of bills, and the m’searriage of all sors of attempted Legislation. 10. The Radical conspirators attempt a wrong upon the liberties and rights of the people in the election law they adop ted that will be a stinding column to their infamy and reckless inc >mpetency. The old saw needs mending Those whom the Gods would destroy they first makes fools. II The depriving the tax payers of Wilmington of the rightof electing their own city government is a base outrage upon local self-government, and richly merits the unstinted condemnation of every freeman, of every man of sense enough to c imprehend the meaning and farce of the da nning assault. No man who is engaged in trying to fasten that outrage upon liberty and home rule, that strikes at the very foundations of free govern in >nt, is worthy of public confi dence and support He is an enemy of a free and constitutional government.. 12 Another most outrageous act not to be condoned or forgotten is the ap pointment of such a base creature as Otho Wilson to an office of much re sponsibility and trust. In view of his known record sis a violator of organic . —his election was most indecent, ust infern il. It has a most sulphur iu- odor. Tnese are some of the outrages and vrongs that should not be forgotten. L«y this aside for future reference. 4ext, year there wiil be a use for it ar|a > aet cal aud truthful reminder. 13 One other base aet should not be v.i. ooked. The outrage attemp ed in creating two circuits against the wishes The News and Observer, Thursday, flarch 21, 1895. of the people, who are most interested. The circuit created over which Charles Cook was to preside, but will not if the Supreme Court is not corrupt, was formed against the protest of Edgecombe, Hali fax and Vance counties that were includ ed, and against the earnest protest of the people of Wilmington who best represent its intelligence, love of order and protec tion of property a»d life. ITS RECORD UNSAVORY. Ami May we Never see Its Like Again in North Carolina, Asheville Citizen. No such legislature was ever seen be fore, and its like will probably never again be seen, at least in this State From the man whose teeth flew out as he talked, and who talked nevertheless, to the man who was under the “inflti enee” for two months together, and, still further on dow ? n. to the greatest black guard of them all, Williams of Craven, it was a notable aggregation of political freaks aud misfits. They knew what they wanted -the offices—they bad wild yearnings for the offices and the pay thereof, but they blundered to get them, and then, at the last, let s“me of the bestpayingonesslipthrough theirclumsy fingers because they could not stand the depth of the “hole” the Democratic mi nority every now and then dropped them into They elected oue man to an office and then, in a moment of stupid bewilder ment, abolished the office itself. They created two new criminal court cir uits and then so clumsily filled the offices of those courts that the very judges fell outside the breastworks, where they yet lie struggling arid kicking and, very likely, cursing the luck that led them in to such fool companionship. They elec ted code commissioners and then killed the code commission. They broke faith with the Governor. Their bills weresto len right and left. They attempted to deny Democratic members the right to leave the chamber placing a negro at the door to act as a jailer for free men. To cap the climax of imbecility, some of the more prominent Radicals ended their Dbors in prolonged debauches, and then “jumped” the town leaving their board bills unpaid It was all that could be expected of the scum and leavings of radicalism and populism. The better men of the fusion ists, with few exceptions, did not run in the last election, not dreaming of victory. This left the places to be filled by m*m who had nothing to lose if they were beaten and everything to giin in the way of “favors” and railway passes and offices if chance should float them into office. Lord deliver us from ever again look ing upon the like of the North Carolina Assembly of 1895 ! They Are Admonished to fshape Up. Progressive Farmer. Populist. If the two members of tho Arrington legislative investigating committee who have been on a protracted spree, one a Populist and the other a Republican, have any respect for themselves or one iota of pride left, they will sober up, re form and get to work. If they do not, we advise their friends to send after the remains. * Shortness of Breath, Swell ing of Legs and Feet. “For about four years 1 was trou bled with palpitation of the heart, shortness of breath and swelling of the legs and feet. At times 1 would faint. I was treated by the best phy sicians in Savannah, Ga., with no re lief. I then tried various Springs, without benefit. Finally I tried Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure also his Nerve and Liver Pilis. Af ter beginning to take them 1 frit better! I continued taking them and I am now in better health than for many years.
