SONE PEBTIXKN r QUESTIONS
The Commonwealth touching the
mutability of things, asks the foN
lowing pertinent questions with re
ference to indisputable changes in
the govern mont of North Carolina :
"How much has the government
of North Carolina been improved
within the last seven years ? Is the
State aa well able o pay the claims
on its treasury as it was seven years
ago? f
J J Are the various counties in t he
Sf.afo tmvinor fVipir .' nwn hillfl aa
they were seven years ago ?
Are the State institutions consid
ered by competent men of ali parties
in as-good condition as they were
eevan years ago ?
Is the free school machinery run
ning as smoothly as it was Seven
years ago ?
Is the Stated good name as untar
niahed in the eves of our sister
States as It was seven years ago ?
Is there that harmony of feeling
amongst our people that began to be
seriously disturbed about seven
years ago ? -- - '
.
Are there as few i hienous crimes
on record within the boundaries of
our otate as mere was seven years
ago?
IDoes it look, now. under the pre
sent circumstances, that North
Carolina is as desirable a State to
live in as it was seven years ago ?
' Would capitalists from other
States as readily invest their money
here as they would seven years ago?
Is there that confidence in North

The Hawiian annexation scheme
is on foot again and there is talk
even of calling the Senate together
before the December term if the in

islands accept our wooing. It would
be in order to tell us what we want

was asked about Alaika once.
Country Kdltur in Politics.
Examination of our exchanges
shows that the country editor is
dropping into politics. In many
instances he cuts a very respectable
figure, and his well-considered state
ments will doubtless be stolen freely
and frequently by his metropolitan
brethren. There are two kinds of
political writing : The one deals in
ridicule, in appeal to prejudice and
and in false statements. The other
recognizes that parties and men are
fallible, and that party principles
are some times modified by new con
ditions. This conservative style of
writing will win in the end, because
readers are after facts and are not
to be hoodwinked long. The politi
cal editor has the right to present
the best side of his party, atid to
stoutly maintain its teachings and
principles ; but this can hi done
without indulging in personalities
or consigning his opponents to the
bottomless pit. The latter style of
political writing is now almost obso
lete, and the editor who adopts it is
not only old-fashioned, but is far
behind his readers in point of intel
ligence. Press and Printer.

Not So Bad As Thongnt to Be.
The most sensational story has
bath set afloat and pious hearts have
been grieved about the fate of Miss
Oisneios, said to be a relative of the
Cuban president. It was stated that
she was to be exiled to the Spanish
penal colony at Morocco. A num
ber of prominent American women,
including Mrs. Jefferson Davis, have
interceded with the Queen Regent
of Spain for her. Her treatment
was said to be a wreaking of re
venge on the unfortunate girl . The
following dispatch from Gen. Lee
will set the matter at rest :
Havana, 8ept. 2 If the Duke
of TetaL's order for the removal of
Evangelina Gisneros to a convent
has been received here, which the
authorities will not admit, no ac
tion has been taken. Meantime,
there is no danger that the girl
will be harshly dealt with. It would
appear that her release is only a
question of time She is is comfort
ably situated now as is possible in
any Spanish prison. She is well
dressed, has her meals sent from the
restaurant and is accorded privacy.
