Thbib Month 1 om Month V ONBWUK 10 MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25. 1893. The editor of the Fayettevillc Gazette, having secured a government position in Washington has suspended his puper. The Raleigh Carolinian says: "The Gazette is a good paper ami we regret Mr. V uitchead's retirement from North Carolina journalism. We trust it will be only temporary." Wo anlmit that this is unkind in the editor of the Caroliuian. lie himself holds a government place in Washington. Why should heexpress the hlc that Mr. Whitehead will be there only tunpot arily ? Is he crowded ? We are properly glad that the Vail y rie (pronounced in three sylahles, the last two rhyming with wiry I nL in al ter her battle with the winds anil the waves of the stormy Atlantic.

Tiikrb is one thing that perhaps the lawless Ivnchersr)!'

The lynchers may think it none of our business that they trample on the law, but as a matter of fact the American people are disgraced in the eyes of the civilized world every time there is a lynching in this country. V arc supposed to be self governing. We make our own laws anil therefore are under especial obligations to live up to them. When we trample on those laws we indicate that we are not eiunpelciit to govern ourselves. which of "curiosities." Eight citizens dead, most of them killed in the act of defying the law. From beginning to end of this short record wc shall search in vain for' exact justice. The first assault was a foul and devilish crime; the hanging of the negro was a departure from all forms of law aud order, ami finally from everything except a semi-barbaric orgic; the killing of innocent men, who had not .lelk-il aud therelore were not outside ol the protection of the law, was wrong, though unintentional, aud the death of theothei s not wholly deserved because of what had gone before, but only justified in part by what, it. was fair to infer, was to come from their apparent intention. And thus it will always be when mere una departs from the most approved methods ol law, slowly, painfully evolved Irotn the experience of genera tions; departs from the universally adopted forms of procedure established in attempts to approximate the exact justice that is not given to mortals to more than strive lot thus it will always be; a harvest ol death, or lawlessness, or duly demnruliz alion, the setting ol a dangerous precedent something to re turn in the near or the distant future to oi harass or shame the partici- plagui tuints theia. u the community that harbored Ao .s'i.v.t n; ci.i i i i ki:. W.lMllM. ION, Si pt. verv et i lent that the ave anvlliiii!i to do .-ast in this Congress. Tun New York orld, which is v it tuous when it can at the same time be sen sational, savs that the new minister to Italy, J. J. Van Allen, is appointed only because he is rich and gave $50,000 to the Democratic campaign laud. Neither of those reasons is a good one. William C. Whitney said some time ago, in fact when this contribution was mUilc, that it did not carry with it any promise ol a position under the Democratic admiuis t ration. That being the case, why ap point him? lie is not especially quali fied for the place except by his wealth, and the appointment therefore' looks like an out-atid-otit-ptirchase mn.h after the W'auamakcr job of Harrison's time. We hope there sire some, so to Say, mitigating ciicumstanees, and we believe there must be, for C.rover Cleve land is too upright a man to make an appointment solely in return for a cam paign contribution. NUT CUNCI.I'HIVi; It rcallv looks as if Abtani Lincoln was a native of North Carolina. It is clear, we think, that he was horn in Rutherford county, N. C, and taken t Kentucky when an infant with his mother." Wilmington Messenger. It occurs to us that the Messenger is moving too fast in this matter, hi this locality, where perhaps its much is known of the evidence in the case as any where, no such decided conclusions as the Messenger has reached are held to be "clear." There is no satisfying testi mony; it is wholly of the kind that tends to suggest that an investigation might. at an earlier day, have revealed some very interesting and, in the light of Lin coln's great place in history, important facts. Hut most of what we tan now hear has been handed down from mouth to mouth, some of it neighborhood gos sip, hardly any of it testimony that could have any standing in a court ol law. As to the resemblances that have been referred to, it would be easy to at tach too much importance to them. Striking resemblances between persons not in the least related Pre not uncom mon. All that is now known that goes to make up this storv is merely interest ing and suggestive; it is not conclusive, and a great deal of affirmative testi mony would be necessary to make it so. T H ; KOAIHOKK TKtliKIIV. The negro who, at Koauoke Va., beat a woman to the point of insen sibility and left her for deatl, so that her life is even now, in jeopardy, committed a crime the punishment of which is fully and amply provided for by law perhaps, however, not amply, for the rell.ction must come to every one that even the taking of a life for a life may, under agnravated circumstances, fall short of full punishment for the offense committed. But if the crime the Roanoke negro com mitted could not lie adequately punished by legal means, it is partly because u civilized community must stop short ol torture and partly because the human mind is finite and must leave to the bar before which all men shall one day ap pear the supreme question of due punish ments as well as rewards. But ii some part of the community of Roanoke has terribly erred in throwing reason and moderation and icflcctiun, everything but a spirit of anarchy to the winds, certainly they have been speedily and terribly punished; and perhaps here again do we see how far from justice humanity may get in attempting its best. The tntlitm of Koauoke were called out to attempt to provide for a man, undoubtedly a criminal, it is true, the protection of the law which secures, or, it has been agreed upon, shall attempt to secure for every accused person a fair, unprejudiced trial. Bat of the men whom the militia's bullets killed, nearly one-hulf were not in the mob and it cannot be said that- they sympathized with it. Nevertheless they were slain. Here then is the record : One woman nearly killed; she may yet die. One man banged, his hody burned and his ashes scattered to the winds, some fragments of his bones going to adorn collections Special. It Senate will not with cloture, tit least in this Congress, i lie suggestion iias often heel! made thai cloture might he adopted us uu expedient lor passing the rcpial hill, but there is no sign of its living resulted to. Cloture, tile reader will remember, is a rule to cut oil" debate and iix an hour lor voting upon a given measure. In the House of Representa tives they have a way of accomplishing this through report from the committee on rules, and inasmuch as the Speaker always controls the committee on rules, it lies' with the Speaker to s:iv when a measure has been sufficiently discussed and when it is lime to take a vote. 1-1 ihc Senate, however, no such rule lias ever been obtained. There tire no means ol slopping discussion, and t hat is whv the Sherman law repeal lull lias eonst.iiH d so niiieh time at the northern end ol the cainlol. I his right to tli-euss and debate as long as any one wishes t take the Hour lor tlial luirix Se- is one of the verv oldest senatorial traditions. It dates b ale to tbe foundation ol the g erianent. P. is saui bv those who are familiar with the history of the Senate that it has never been broken. Tlie slioc on Hie Other l-ool. Time years ago the Republicans ol the Senate, then in majority, were greatly tempted to attempt adoi'limi ol a cloture rule lor the purpose of passing the famous iorcc bill. U was believed then, and so published in the newspa pers, but the Republicans were com pelled to give lip their idea on account ol the I'etermiui d opposition of the minor ity. The truth is, however, that there never was a majority in the Senate in favor ol cloture. Now the Democrats arc in control of the Senate, and a proposition to adopt cloti.re would come from them with a verv pool grace in v'.ew of their deter mined ami violent resistance to tuc same procedure time wars ago. They could not now favor online without stultifi cation. Tiiev have had no intcnti. n of proceeding to tins extreme, and the probabilities are that loi many years to conic tlie auc'cnt senatorial tradition oi the right ol discussion will stand un broken. New Wa'clulog ol Tlie Treasury. There was a general expectation when ludge llolmnu was deehroncd as chair man of the appropriation committee ol the House that more liberal appropria te ns would follow. A gieat many peo ple in aud out of Congress like to have the doois ol the treasury thrown w ide open about omi a u 'ir, but they were never able to enj v that luxury so long as Watchdog Hotmail stood guaid. When the old man was taken from las posiiioti and assigned elsew here by the Speaker, the hordes who arc in favor ol the old il.ig and a big appronriatioti could M-iiCvly contain themselves for joy. Dut their enthusiasm has reached a sudden and unsatisfactory end. Cov crnor Say rs, the new eh.iunuiti oi the committee, is evidently going into the watchdog business on his ow n account, and present indications arc that, being younger and more vigorous than Judge lloluinn and having had the benefit of Holiuuu's example and teaching, he will he able to improve ii'ion the work ol his master. At tiny rate llovirnor Savers most solemnly declares that the appro priations to be in ule bv this Congress .lie to be less in the aggregate than the appropriations made liy any Congress since the war; hence these tears. Choke tlie Kllllhuslern. From the Detroit (Mich.) News. By formal resolution, put into various platforms state and national, the Dem ocrats promised a repeal of the laws in viting federal interference in congres sional elections. The party elected by the people to power now seek to carry out these pledges. The other party suy it shall not be done. What is there to do but to choke the little fellow to death and break his power and let the business decreed by the nation itself go on? Mon day the Democrats marched strnight to business bv tramping on the dead body of the filibuster. They had to do this" or nothing, aud nothing is surely not what they were elected to do. Where Are Ihe prodigal DauitU terev From the Ccrmunton (Pa ) Independent. From our first recollections we have always heard a great deal of talk about the return of the prodigal son. We have heard that touching and instruct ive parable read many times in churches, and heard many eloquent sermons preached from the same, yet we cannot remember ol a single instance, either in sacred or profane history, where a hur rah was made over the return of the prodigal daughter. Wroiiic Breeds Wroue, From the Wilmington MessenKcr. See how violence begets violence. Mob law cannot be defended. It violates both divine and human law. It brings n choas and anarchy.
