WEDNESDAY, - - - April 17. 1895.
Ex-Senator Ransom and his son,
Robert, left on the 28th. for their
post of duty, at Mexico.
Gen. Weaver, of Iowa, has pull
ed out of the Populist party and
joined the new silver party. Weav
er is bound to be catching on to
something new.
A North Carolinian living, in
Mississippi has sent to his people
in Iredell county, some corn found
in an Indian Mound, supposed to
be 1500 years old. Some of it
planted last year,came up. Kind's
Weekly.
A Populist living in Vance Co.,
says he will return to the Demo
cratic party, and will bring five
hundred more Populist with him.
This looks like the good people
of North Carolina are fast finding
out that their is no Balm of Gilead
in the Populist party and they are
becoming more and more disgust
ed every day. They are flocking
back to that party that will always
exist, the Democratic party.
AN ADMISSION.
The Philadelphia Ledger, ft high
protective tariff paper, makes this
confession. Here is what it has
to say :
"The new tariff has not had the
disastrous effects which it has so
commonly predited t would have.
It is not as protective arid fostering
a measure as it should be, but it is
now the law, not to be radically
changed for two or three years at
least, if at all, and it affords nettled
conditions. Our manufaturers have
generally adapted their operations
to its provisions, and the conse
quence is assured industrial ac
tivity." This admission from the Ledger
wai altogether unexpected.

of justice were not subserved by
their appointment. They are a
useless and expensive luxury.
Mecklenburg Times,
Justices Cannot Qualify.
The law relating to the three, ad-
ditionalJusticesof the Peace for each
township in the State repeals all acts
and clauses of acts in conflict with
it. and declares that the terms of the
additional magistrates shall begin
April 1st. 1895. I
So. it seems the position that the
time for these 3,600 useless additional
magistrates to qualify has 'really
passed.
Gov. Carr says they were not al
owed30 days in which to qualify.
AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.
The State ot JNortn Carolina is
rich in one thing at least since the
legislature- adjourned it nas a
wealth of magistrates. Three ad
ditional magistrates were appoint
ed for each township in the State
at a cost to the people of the State
of about $25,000 for books. ThiF,
too, notwithstanding the fact that
magistrates have been stripped of
every vestige of their political
power. They are not even allow
ed to meet jointly with the com
missioners to fix the rate of tax
ation. That matter is nowleft en
tirely with the county commis
sionerp.
The original bill in regard to
electing magistrates provided for
the appointment of six additional
magistrates in each township
which would have cost the taxpay-
