EDITORIAL:
IT STBVCK TOO CLOSE
The editor of the Raleigh Signal
alter delivering himself of hi vol
uminous land nonsensical tariff ar
tides to which we referred in a
recent issue, complacently rolled
himself up in a "high tariff blank
et" and hugs himself with delight
m he views the gigantic effort of
his4)rain i So gloriously occupied
is he contemplalicg this and the
Special tax bonds case, that when
. we shot at him he only replies:
answer such aad such articles,"
leaving it to be inferred that our
shot struck entirely too closeVfbr
comfort, Md he'd father furnish
wiotiicr target.. This inference he
prove to -tod a correct one when
he unwarrantedly say f
"The Carthage Binds, comes to
the frontias a. Free Trade organ
wtd attacks the tariff article which
appeared in the Signal of July
ii 1st and July 2Sth. Ve shall be
glad to have he Blade answer the
tariff article in the Signal, of last
week written by Mr. A. V. Dock
cry, of Carthage. All we desire
the lloiirbons is that they deal
honestly with the people. Nearly
all of them are in favor of Free
Trado and we want them to say
bo and stick to their position." .
- The Blade does not now, nor
has it eveir asserted that it was a
Free Trade organ. It is in favor
a reduction or modification of
the tariff Io as to 'relieve the ne
cessities of life and raise the tnx
on te luxu ries, i And the ed:to r
of the. Signal instead of civing
'stop thief," "deal honestly," &c,
should dejiveif, hini8elf up to jus
tice, for, by misrepresentation, he
as trying to: deceive the people, es
pecially the laboring class into
voting for a thing that is daily im
nnverishincr the South, and ' he
" j O 1
knows it.; The republican party
of North Carolina to which Mr.
Harriss belongs has lived by mis
repreecQtation, and this it is stili
Crying tofdo. i But we think the
mask has! fallen off aad those who
are not already disgusted with
their old j"t0i acres and owile'sto
ry,are fast becoming so If the
pooplc ol North Carolina, : with
the history of the carpet bag leg
i&lature of 'GS and '09 before them
go back to republicanism, then we
hall advocate the erection of an
Insane Asylum in every, county,

HAVIS LETTER .
The letter recently written by
Kx-President Dvis to Col. F. II
Lubbock, of Fort Worth, Texas,
lias created considerable excite
ment throughout Jhe South, and
furnished the press a subject for
comment. AH ofour prohibition
journals are shocked and express
tliHmsel yes surprised at Mr, pavis,
while others concur in his opin
ions. Wo concur with Mr. Davis
in his opinion, not because we are
opposed, to prohibition, but be
cause wiB uave never seen any
constitutional amendment passed
iu any state that really did prohib
it. The! local option act of Nortl
Carolina; has proven a complete
- Urce and is a discredit ic all who
, voted thenfor. On this subject
we endorse the views of the
Windsor Public Ltcr, one of the
soundest! democratic journals ii
i the $tafp..; It lays;
"Mr. Davis takes Jhe ground
.that all sumptuary laws are inim
ical to the spirit of the Constitu
tion and oi American institutions
mki says that, hoi adheres, to tht
mjixim, v that the world is covern
'd too much" alreaJv. 11c nls
.xposes

-WEEICLI
doctrine of msjority.rule, showing
conclusively that the real purpose
of free governments and constitu
tions is to protect the weak from
the strong, the right from the
might and the minority from the
majority. Mr. Davis, after d is
cussing the subject of drunken
ness at length, clearly shows the
duty of the government in regard
to the same, and conclusively
proves that the proper way to deal
with this class of offenders is to
hold them individually responsi
ble for their violation of law and
decency.
This we think the correct posi
tion in the premises, and the right
way to deal with the question. It
would be equally logical to pro
hibit the use of firearms or knives,
or even axes, scythe blades and
hoes because murders are some
times committed with these in
struments, as to do away with the
selling of stimulants because occa
eioually we find a victim to their
excessive use or abuse.
Mr. Dayis might have added
that this prohibition nonsense first
saw the light in Yankeedom and is
a legitimate outgrowth of New.
England Puritanism, a great
grand daughter of the Blue Laws
of Connecticutt; a lineal descend
ant of Cotton Mather and witch
craft While the Ldegeb believes in
good morals as much as any one,
it cannot afford to be found fight
ing against Democratic truth, or
'doing evil that good may (possi
bly) come out of it." Hence we
oppose ail sumptuary laws, firmly
believing in the good old Demo
cratic maxim, a maxim as olid or
or older than this. Union itself
"That it is the best government
that governs the least.' "
Prohibition, however, is a sub
ject that no man can handle with
impunity. If he opposes any ac
tion -toward the procurement of
prohibition, he is condemned as a
lost man. t If he declares in favor
of prohibition he is called a fanat
ic. We take the view that no
man has a legitimate right to say
what another shall eat or drink,
but hu has a right to say that ev
ery man shall behave himself,
therefore instead of laws to pre
vent the sale of stimulants, it
should be a law to1 punish a man
or getting drunk and making an
ass 01 himself. This wou d free
us from the degradation and shame
of drunkenness andv virtually
amount to prohibition.
The Tariff.
The Knights of Labor ouahtto
know that the welfare of every
man who works for a living is in-
voivea in tms question. Lower
the taxes and give the poor man a
chance. If the Republicans kick
: J i ,
iu uruer io consoiiaate ricn mo
nopolies they will simply show
once more that they are and al
ways have been on the side of the
classes against the masses. They
are as dumb as oysters, because
the corporations have filled their
mouths with silver dollars. But
the Democratic party is the peo
pie's party. In its two conven
tions already held it has occupied
strung grounu. raite tna war
tax off the necessaries of life that
is its keynote in this campaign
and tt must tight it out on that
line until the government is fre J
from the incubus of too much mon
ey wrongfully extracted from the
business of the country. Keep
the Treasury empty is the only
safe motto for a Republic When
money is needed it will be forth
coming. We have never been
niggardly, uut wben it is not
needed keep every possible dollar
in the channels of commerce. The
party which hangs out this banner
is the only one to have charge o
the White House New York
HeraU,
- Wlittt the Svnutc Cot.
The fact that there are a good
many millionaires among the Fed
eral Senators by no weans lessens
the expense which that body en
tails upon the people. From the
latest rejport of the Treasury De
parttnent, it appears that in the
next twelve months the country
will hajve to pay the Senators
$3SO,0Op in salaries and $33,000 !
lor mueuge ties, a. total of $413,
000. The a npunt of compensa
tion set aside for sen itoria! oflke.

ted at the enormous sum of S-344,-192.82.
The Senate must have
books aad writing paper, costing
S I3,500i, while 83,000 insures the
delivery of mail matter to the
comfort loving .statesmen. To
the end that the public may have
printed copies of senatorial speech
es, $7,570 is appropriated. To
this must be added the $25,000
devoted to stenographic reports.
The most striking item in the di
gest is the sum of S45.000 for the
expenses of such investigations as
may be ordered by ti e Senate.
This appropriation in advance for
investigation purposes stands a
perpetual temptation for junketing.
Ex.
L.oins and Forgetting.
A successful business man said
there were two things he learned
when he was eighteen, which were
ever afterwardrbf great use to him
namely: "Never to lose anything,
and never to forget any thing.' '
An old lawyer sent him with an
important paper, with certain in
structions what to do with ii,
"But," inquired the young, man,
"suppose I lose it, what shall 1
do then?" Ypu must not lose
it." "I don't ean to," said the
young man; "but suppose I should
happen to?" "But I say you
must not happen to. I shall make
no provision for such an occur
rence. You must not i lose it,"
This put a new train of thought
in the young man's mind, and he
found that if he was determined to
do anything be could do it. Un
made such a provision against ev
ery contingency tht he never lost
anything. He found this equally
true about forgetting. If a cer
tain matter of importance was to
be remembered he pinned it down
in his mind, fastened it there, and
made it stay. He used to say:
"When a man tells ,me he forgets
to do anything. I tell him he
might as well say, 'I do not think
enough of my business to take the
trouble to think of it airaiu.' "
Ex.
Cruelty to Animals.
We have heretofore published
this law, but ourpeoole should
keep it in mind. Read it again
and ask yourself if you have obey
ed it during the hot weather been
merciful to your animals.
Sec. 24S2. "If any person shall
wilfully overdrive, overload,
wound or injure, torment, deprive
of necessary sustenance or cruelly
beat, or needlessly mutilate, or kill
or cause or procure to be overdriv
en, overloaded,, wounded, injured
tortured, tormented, or deprived of
necessary sustenance, or to be cru
elly beaten, needlessly mutilated,
or killed as aforesaid, any useful
beast, fowl or animal, every such
offender shall for every such offence
be guilty of a misdemeanor,
Sec. 2487. Any person who
shall wilfully set on foot or insti
gate, or move to carry on, or pro
mote, or engage in, or do any act
towards the furtherance of any cru
elty to animals, shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor." Fatjettevilk Ob
server.
Bigbt Principal.
. It is occasionally good to revert
tofir8t principles when times are
a little dull and one is not carried
along by the rush and excitement
of pressing events. Is it right?
should be printed in large letters
above the portals of every man's
workshop. A friend stirs your an
ger bythe exhibition of some pet
ty trait of character, an enemy
wrongs you, it is so easy; so nat
ural and sometimes so taking to
say a sharp thing, to but the. iron
into hissoul, but is it right? wilt be
sure to rise in your mind; always
heed it, this is the wiser and better
plan.
You see a chance of bettering
your own condition, it may; be at
the expense of some one else; is it
right? If not you had better re
main as you are, leave the tbiog
undone.

What a Cent Grown to.
A cent seems of little value, but
if it is only doubled a few times it
grows to a marvelous sum. A
young lady in Portland, Oregan,
caught her father in a very rash
promise, by a knowledge of this
fact.
She modestly promised that if
her father would give her only one
cent on one day, and double the
amount on each successive day for
just one month, she would pledge
hersclf never to ask him for anoth
er cent of money as long as she
lived. Pater familliast not stopping
to mo over the figures in his head,
and not supposing it would amount
to a large sum, was glad to accept
the offer at once. On the 25th day
he became greatly a'armed, lest if
he complied with his own accep
tance he might be obliged to be
declared a bankrupt on his own
petition. But on the 30th day the
young girl demanded only the
pretty little sum, S5,3CS,709.12.
The astonished merchant was only
too happy to cancel the claim by
advancing a handsome cash pay
ment for his folly in allowing him
self to give a bond without notic
ing the consideration therein ex
pressed. -Ex.
At Mt. Holly Tuesday, Mr. Hen
ry Vauderlip, of this city, was ter
nbly gored by a bull. The ani
mal, which belongs to to Mr. Van
derlip, was being ' taken from a
freight car, and made a plunge at
lis owner. Mr. Vanderlip was
ored in the bowels. The wound
was sewed up by physicians, and
:he injured man was placed in a
h ;ck and conveyed to his home in
this city, where, at last account?,
he was resting comfortably.
At Hamiet, on the Carolina Cen
tral road Monday, an unknown
colored man was run down by the
train and his body terribly man
gled. At the coroner's inquest,
witnesses appeared who stated
that tho deceased was an unknown
colored man who had made his ap
pearance in that neighborhood
Snnday, and who was undoubted
ly crazy, as- his queer behavior in
dicated. The mangled body was
gathered up and given decent bu
rial. '
Policeman Long, of Danville!
arrived in this city Tuesday having'
in charge a young man named
Washington, Wright, who was
turned over to Sheriff Smith, of
Richmoud county, and taken by
that officer to jail at Rockingham.
Wright was some time ago tried
and convicted upon the charge of
shooting at a train on the Carolina
Central road, and was sentenced to
12 raooths imprisonment in jail,
He managed to make his escape,
but was captured in Virginia, and
is now once more in jail.-CW-
