THE MECKLENBURG FAIR.
The managers of the Mecklenburg
Fair have done well in offering Col.
John S. Cuningham, of Person, the
chief marshalship of the Fair and se
curing his acceptance. A better selec
tion could net have been made. Col.
Cuningham has served in the same
capacity at the State Fair, where he
had 140 marshals. He is familiar with
the duties of the office and will magnify
it in every way. He will have a bril
liant squad of well mounted marshals
and give us a pageant that will be long
remembered.
This year's fair will enly be Mecklen
burg's second one, but it promises to
be in many respects the greatest ever
held in North Carolina, the State Fair
not excepted. By comparison it will
be found that the premiums for all the
exhibits and the prizes for the races
will exceed those of the State Fair.
Everything is now propitious for an
event of great splendor and success.
The railroads should offer every pos
sible inducement in the way of rates to
bring the people here. In fact, we see
no reason why they should not offer
the same inducements over the same
extent of territory as they do in be
half of the State Fair. It is a mistake
to leave anything undone toward
bringing people from all over the Stale
to its metropolis upon such an occas
ion. MORGAN'S TRIUMPH.
Perhaps the happiest man in the
country at this time is Alabama's
grand eld man, Senator John T. Mor
gan. The time having expired in
which to treat concerning the Panama
canal there is nothing left but to take
up the Nicaragua project, the long
cherished hope of his life. He is sit
ting now in the late afternoon at the
entrance of the valley of the shadows,
and it is not in nature to expect that
he will witness the completion of his
great dream, but it is to be hoped that
he will see as much of it as Moses did
cf the promised land.
He is reported to have said on Tues
day last, at midnight of which day the
terms of the canal treaty respecting
the Panama route expired:
"The treaty has been dead for
twenty-five days. Nothing could have
resurrected it. Action at Bogota means
the building of the canal by the Nica
raguan route. President Roosevelt has
no discretionary powers, but it is made
mandatory upon him. It turned out ex
actly as I expected. It is the best
thing for this country and the world
Now it goes back to my proposition to
build the Nicaraguan canal, and it will
be the best thing for this country to
do."
SMITH, MURPHY, McCLELLAN AND
CLEVELAND.
Ex-Senator James Smith, of New
Jersey, once belonged to the Big
Four, of which Senator Gorman was
another, who mutilated the Wilson
Tariff Bill so effectually that Old
Man Cleveland allowed it to become a j
law without his signature. Then New
Jersey went Republican and has got
ten into the habit of going Republican.
Senator Smith became ex-Senator
Smith, having fallen outside the
breast-works. It is only recently that
he has begun to take notice of politi
cal affairs. But he and Charles F.
Murphy, the new head of Tammany
Hall, hatched up quite a scheme some
six months ago of political rehabili
tation for both Tammany and Smith.
Smith came out for Cleveland, first.
It was a notification that he had for
given the accusation of treachery that
Cleveland had hurled against him in
connection with the Wilson Tariff Bill.
He was willing to let bygones be by
gones. Murphy has had his eye on
McClellan, the popular young con
gressman, for the Mayoralty of New
York. Soon after Smith made his de
claration it was intimated in Tam
many circles that Cleveland would
have Tammany's support for the nomi
nation. But the best laid plans of
mice and men aft gang aglee. The
papers got hold of the scheme, which
was in brief to obtain from Cleveland
an endorsement of McClellan's candi
dacy, the consideration promised be
ing Tammany support for Cleveland.
Mcuienan was just on ms way to
Princeton, to see a game of foot-ball
that was to be played there.
And then Old Man Cleveland took
his pen in his hand and wrote:
"I never have heard of such a sug-
gestion of any such visit except about
an hour ago, when a newspaper clip
ping referring to it came in my morn
ing mail. I do not expect to mee t Mr.
McClellan and should think it very
strange if he should come here on the
errand suggested. It would be as
strange if he should come here to see
me without previous notification.'
Now we think that is rather neat.
On the errand suggested McClellan
would be unwelcome. On any other
errand, without notification, he would
be unwelcome. And the mischief of
it all is that the laugh has been turned
on McClellan and Murphy just as they
were getting ready to profit by the
President's blunder in not mentioning
the name of the hero of Antietam. The
luck seems to be against Tammany.
Nor can Cleveland be very severely
blamed for this upsetment of political
plans. He owes nothing to Tammany.
It sold him out to give the Governor
ship to David B. Hill, in 1888. It went
to the convention of 1892 with the de
claration that he could not carry New
York and then boasted that although
they had not defeated his nomination
they had put a tariff plank in the
platform that would make it impos
sible for Cleveland to win. Cleveland
did endorse the candidacy of Edward
M. Shepard, in the last campaign. But
there wasn't any bargain about that.
Murphy and Smith have made a mess
of it, this time, and the joke is on
them.
It is a question if seduction is not a
more heinous crime (if possible) than
rape. Taking the law in one's own
hands is always more or less anarchis
tic. But as the law does not make the
punishment fit the crime in cases of
seduction, our grievance becomes
directed more against the law for its
impotence than against those who
avenge the crime in a way which every
lover of the purity of womanhood feels
in his heart of hearts is but just.
It's a little late to say so, but the
28-page "Manufacturing and Industrial
Edition" of the Asheville Citizer?
whichappeared last Sunday, was ahand
some portrayal of the principal inter
ests of that city, which has recently
taken on more life than ever, in no
way more manifest than in its news
papers. Mr. Hearst is accredited with the de
sire of acquiring an organ in North
Carolina to further his Presidential
ambition. If he gets one we hope it
will not be a hand organ affair liku
that one at Edenton.
The railroad people in the union de
pot matter evidently want to cheer us
up on the preposition that everything
comes to him who waits.
By the way the people are sticking to
The News it must be giving about all
of today's news today that is "fit to
print."
"Washington's tomb at Mt. Vernon is
to be vulcanized. This will not be ne
cessary for the rubber necks who go
down the Potomac sight-seeing.
By the advertising columns of the
Atlanta papers it appears that that
city is experiencing a revival of the
trading stamp mania.
Booker Washington is going to
Europe. Is John Temple Graves' de
portation scheme beginning to bear
fruit?
Col. Cuningham is shrewd enough
to keep his boom indoors until after
the killing frosts have gone.
The Sultan doesn't mind a little
domestic rumpus if he can only man
age to renew some of his notes.
Col. Andrews was roughly shaken
up, it is true, but he was spared the
ambulance chasers.
It is to be hoped that Chamberlain
has no idea of giving England a dose
of Dingleyism.
England need expect no favors cf
Grosvenor. He tells them to "go on
and protect yourselves."
If the Gubernatorial entries continue
to increase there are going to be some
also rans."
Maybe Mr. Bryan would just as
soon be a father-in-law as President,
any way.
The proposing is over. It is now up
to Uncle Sam to dispose of the canal
question.
With so many Gubernatorial candi
dates in the field the officeoiight not
to nave to seek the man.
When Mark Hanna yells "Socialist"
at Tom Johnson it's a pity Tom can't
retort with "You're another!"
Hogs are said to be getting scarce
in Oklahoma. We . might spare them
a few end seat ones from Charlotte.
Low has about made up his mind to
let Jerome howl.
As a wiper out of party lines Joe
Chamberlain is a corker.
The Gubernatorial candidates are
pretty well flushed by this time.
Perhaps Joe Chamberlain wants to
I be an advance agent of prosperity.
