CONCORD, N. C, APRIL 15, 1899.
OUR MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
About 16 daya yet and we innat
"lipid a town election. Two jeara
go oar Democratic municipal
c hi aery jreaked and grouud and
rubbed and jarred but now it deem
titack hard aiid fait. We did hope
that pouring on the oil of good na
tared patnotidm would start it op
with a smoother whirl bat thus far
weiseem doomed to disappointment;
We believe" that if We could get a
start in the right direction we might
more off smoothly and act the part
of intelligent patriots.
We are euie that crimination and
- - i
recrimination 07er the past can have
no beneficial reauhe. Indeed we be
lieve that with few exceptions thoae
modt inclined to indulge in it are
the moat liable to be worsted by it.
If we ubdur.Und the situation
our voting citizen tuay be re koned
in three classes 3 First, Those who
acied conbCieutiquBly two years ago
aanu hare nothing of which to repent.
Second, Those who dropped into
rror and pursued a coarse that
their conbeiences cannot fully ap
prove though somewhat buoyed up
with the plea of fancied or rel
j)rovocition by the wrongs of others.
Third, Those who are not hampered
'with conscientious scruples about
politics and will toss their ballot and
heir political influence about as a
fboy does his ball or marbles.)
The first class, we think, aremost
frets from resentment and consider
only our present and future good.
Their visions are forward. h
The second class would let bvsgones
ba by-gones and begin anew with
acme deeply impressed leseons that
will bring forth wholesome fruits.
The third class repent nothing,
want nothing but their own will and
way and are always ready to lay the
urdend of their own folly and mis-;
4oing at the door of others.
These stand ready to take up the
mU$ man's burden and run the
'town. It seems we are about to
Iplay into their hands and turn" the
town over to them. Nobody, can
wonder at or blame them much for
at. If 'the results are not satisfac
tory they wiifbe able to lay tb
fclame on the first two classes men
tioned and in an indirect way the
charge will stick. ' '.
JThe situation does not seem very
complimentary to the intelligence
And virtue of the citizens of Concord
and if no evil grows out of it we
mould as well expunge; the' axiom
that eternal vigilance is the prince
of civil liberty. , - ;

The Wichita, Kan., Daily Eagle
had the following to Bay of the
Alba Heywood company- after
their appearance in that city at
the Auditorium on November
16th, last:
"It i9 worth tha price of a
ticket to the whole lyceum course
to hear Alba Heywood render
James Whitcom Kiley's 'Kingry'e
Mill' at the Auditorium last night.
Kingry's Mill by Mr. Heywood;
is the eloquence of pathos, the
highest of art, because it is near
est nature. Any time Heywood!
will appear in Wichita hewill get
a big hearing. Every member of
the Heywood company is an
artist. Mr. DeBray was encored,
Miss Drescher's yiolin solos were
great, and Miss Beimer's piano
playing was a source of great
pleasure to the audience. They
are all pleasant people and
Wichita endorses the company.
