We suppose our friends will see that their new officers will reduce fees. . Maybe our next Leg islature will reduce fees. V hy not ? Yes, why not ? But has anybody heard any Populist propose, since the election, a reduction of the salaries and fees of county officers? We trow not. Within the past two years we have read numerous resolutions, adopted by Populist meetiuers "demanding"- that the fees and. claries of our county and other, public officials be reduced. Now that that this crowd is in they have an opportunity to put this "de mand, at "least, in force. Will they doit? j Will they practice what they preached, now that they have a chance ?" We shall see.- Statesville Landmark.: It will be remembered that one of the Populist candidates in this county, in his speech before the convention ac cepting the nomination, unfolded a plan by which it was proposed to re duce the fees of all county officers. From his speech it seemed that the matter was a burden on his mind, ar d that the consummation of the plan w is devoutly 'to be wished. Now that he is elected we shall see if interest in" the matter remains, and whether he will bring his influence to bear on the legis lature to reduce the fees of officers. ' The insane mouthings and bellicose mutterings of Kolb, the crank candi didate for Governor of Alabama, died away when the time came for action, lie gwore he would be Governor of Ala bama, all the earth to the contrary not withstanding. Instead of delivering his inaugural address -in the capital building or from the steps, with thou sands of the good people of- Alabama listening, he harrangued a' few tramps from the tail end of an ox cart in the 6treet.

WashixgtonT Dec. 1, '94. Monday, Congress meets in a renova ted Capitol. About 100 Congressmen are in the city. Senator Jarvis will be here Saturday night. Senator Ransom and Hon. John S. Henderson generally arrive the morning of the day on which Congress convenes. Hon. Thomas Settle was here several days ago. Mon day Congress will meet and adjourn un less the President's message is ready to be transmitted to that body. Mr. Cleve land said to-day the message would be ready by Monday. A number of defeated members of Congress sent here, for their mileage, saying they would not come to Wash; ington this, winter. The request was refused, as it should have been. Judge Gudger, of the Treasury De partment, has called my attention to a paragraph in one of the Washington papers which . states that Hon. W. S. O'B. Kobinson, of Goldsbpro7 and who was at the recent election made a judge of the Superior court, is the only Catho lic who has ever been elected to public office in North Carolina. The judge states that this a gross error and does great injustice to the people of the State. He says it is true that by the Consti tution of the . State adopted in 177G, Catholics could not hold public offices but the Constitution formed in 1835 did away with the restriction, and since then Catholics have as eligible as other citizens to hold office. He further says that this change was brought about greatly by the efforts and influence- of the Hon. W m. Gaston, of Newbern, who was one of the most eminent, judges of North Carolina. Soon after tne Constitution of 1835 was adopted, air. uaston, wno was a (Jatnolic, was elected one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of the State, which position he filled with very great ability and satisfaction to the people, until his death several years after. Hon. Mathias S. Manley, another Catholic, was for many years a judge of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity, ana aoout ieot or o was elected an associate justice of the Supreme Court, which office he failed very acceptably, until the reorganization of the State government under the reconstruction acts of Congress, after the late war. Hon. W. A. Moore, of Edenton, was appointed a judge of the Superior Courts of the State by Gov. Caldwell about 1872 to fill tlie vacancy caused by the death of Judge Jones, and continued in office until the expiration of the terra in 1878. Judge Moore was also a Catholic. The Judge informs me these facts are of his personal knowlege, except as to Judge Gaston; as the other gentlemen were personal acquaintances and friends of his, as is also Judge Kobinson, re cently elected! The Judge calls my at tention to the fact that there are but few Catholics in the State, the number as shown by thecensus of 1890 being 2, 640, and thinks no one can consider there is any prejudice or feeling against Catholics in North Carolina, when out of such small numbers of communi cants of that church four men have been elevated to very high offices. Oth er instances might be given of jtersons of the Catholic faith occupying positions of trust in the State. The report of the Postmaster General shows that there has been a decrease of one per cent, in the receipts of the postal revenue instead of eight per cent. The postmaster general says that because of the recent extension of the protection of the civil service the total number of post office folks within the classified service is 82,661. In speak ing of the lines for this government to follow he says : "I believe it to be the true policy for this government to con tinue for a number of years the develop ment of the postal service on the present lines. In general I would recommend that the first and most important thing to be done is to revise the laws as to the second-class mail matter, so as to place the Post Office Department immediate ly upon a self sustaining basis. Avoid expensive experiments, like the postal telegraph rural free deliver. . etc Develop the postal service on existing unes oi administration, viz : Extend free delivery in cities that now enjoy it. Accord it to towns already entitled to it under the law. Quicken railroad transportation. Revise and reclassify organizations of tne railway mail service, and reclassify cierics m post omces. Provide for district supervision of al postal affairs by appointment of expert postal omcials from classified service, as recommended in my annual report. GENERAL NEWS. Princess Bismark, wife of the great German chancellor, died at Varzui at 5 :40 o'clock Tuesday morning. General John T, Morgan was last Tuesday elected as a Senator from Ala bama. Warner Reese, a Populist, will contest his seat. Bishop Atticus G.: Haywood, of the Methodist Episcopal church, South,, is dangerously ill with pneumonia, at his home at Oxford, Ga. The bicycle factory of the Lozier Manufacturing Company, Toledo, O., was destroyed by fire last week. Twenty five thousand partly made wheel were burned. The fcS3 was $500,000. A negro convicted of criminal assault at Atlanta has been sentenced to Joe hanged.1 This will be the first U?gal exe cution for the crime in Georgia, and the pursuit of such a policy generally would reduce the number of lynchings. Ex-Senator Jos. E. Brown died at 2:30 o'clock last Friday, aged 73. He was Georgia's war Governor, waa Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and was since the war United States Senator. He has been in feeble health for some time. The Georgia Legislature has been for some time discussing a decided change in the liquor laws of the State, and the likelihood is that before long Georgia will have a dispensary Bystem in full operation, patterned after Gov.

After January 1st, the rates of postage now applicable . to Europe ana other countries of the Universal Postal Union will be also applicable to all the coun tries of the world. That is to say, it will cost only a nickel to send a letter from anywhere to anywhere. The confidence of investors in the credit of the United States is shown by the early advance of the premium on th&new issue of bonds. The purchasers have already sold $8,000,000 of the bonds at 119 and 119J. This advance represents a profit of $168,840 on these sales alone. The movement .of cotton into sight during the month of November was 2,159,000 bales, the largest on record. The next largest ever known was that of October, which reached 2,110,000 bales. The movement since Septem ber 1 amounting to 3,711,672 bales, is the largest ever known. A bill directed against Kolb, intro duced Monday in the Alabama Legis lature,: created a sensation. It provided for heavy- fine and imprisonment for any person to attempt to discharge the dutie3 of an office to which he had not been declared elected by the constituted authorities. It stirred up the Populists and created bad feeling. Thanksgiving was celebrated the country over by foot-ball games, this sport seeming to, have superseded all other ways of cemmenorating the day. There were college games, athletic club games and games between elevens from rival towns, and in many of them the players were bruised or maimed.

A big revival in jail has broken out at Greensboro, and there has been much shouting. Each Sunday some of the good pjeople visit the jail and pray with the inmates. Mr. C. H.
