"Tflie bad influence of the old fojry

far as the sanctums ot the Lenoir

and the former in this week's issue
i saysran unanimous.": - ;
Th wisdom of that paragraph is
not (fqual to its "knowihgness." We
, inoi nothing of what the Observer
and tTcpic said, but they wrote ac
cording to the; standards." "The 'Ga
, ?'tte laieht floor us . by quoting some
i granSmats not written by illustrious

1 lievj ihey insist that it depends upon
i the I enunciation of the word with

nectld whether we must use a or an;
that we must write an before words
i beginning1 with a vowel sound, etc.,
and fx before vo wels when they have
- sr consonant sound. We have followed
the Visage of the noted writers,
man of them greatest and hence
are in the very best literary com
pany possible. We prefer to follow
ereat? standard writers than gram
marianslwlfo are ordinary men for
the tiaosi part.
Wje could fill a column or two with
citalions from! leading authors who

of Daniel Webster and Ralph cWaldo

menial prime, W. II. Lecky. We
coull easily multiply examples of
the laat'thpee or: four centuries if we
would take the trouble to search
fartlcr our library. We gathered
nearly all of thse names in a seaich

standard writers through tfie last
fortyodd years. Some great writers

and dritio, President H. E Shepherd,
ofthe College of Charleston, S. C,
(a nsltivo of North. Carolina) pub-
f-Jish.i his capital wor called "An
Historical -Header," we remember
some .writer "pitched into" the
scholarly author and only exposed
his oi rn limitations. Scholars know
that

Dr. Shepherd used tho right

... "William Hooper, D. D. LL.D., wrote
us a letter thanking us for it. We
published it. He was one of those
"old ogj sticklers" who would haye
cornel undar the ban of rash latter
day critics. And yet the best of all
, books, translated into the most melo
dious! of all English the James
"Bible uses after'. See Genesis 26:18,
and Imke 1:59. The men who conn
temri 'the old wrote it named for."
The English of the masters is npt
good j enough; for them. Perhaps
thev are of the number who write
it "differ with" and "excurted" and
"suicided"' and "f uneralized' and
employ other renned newspaper
"English as she is wrote.'
THE ?EOPLE ABE IN EARNEST.
. Meinbers of -the Congress' are
. elected to attend to. the business of
the people. They are very proud of
their title "Honorable" and to see
the affix M. C. and are particularly
fond jof drawing their ,5,000. an
nually.. Why then do they: loaf 60
much and delight in doing nothing!
Absenteeism is the bane of the office"
seeking M. C's. They worked 42
hours in onewhole month and drew
from the LT, S.Treasury $400 for
such marvellous service. Now the
papers; announce that the members
er many of them who went home
before.Christmas will not be back in
"Washington until next week some
time! j They will be sure to draw
their pay-all the same.
.The people are mainly responsible
for this, . They do not scrutinize the
work of their servants and are ! very
careless in the matter of their selec
tion. A few men start some fellow
for tffice and the people like "dumb
dnyen attfe" follow tbe call and
send mck men whose chief record is
absenteeism and a few bills intro
duced for "buncombe" or ito dra-
money from ihe people's pockets , in
way of unearned salaries and unwise
appropriations. A letter is before
us written by, a merchant ofintelli
genee, education and a true - Demon
crat, who lives in a prosperous town
between here and Weldon. j What
he writes was not i intended' for the
public eye. To show what capable
business men and good citizens are
thinking about we copy a part. He
'writes: . ' j ' . j:

the
whole
The public mind has been' at last
bo educated that the people will no
longer tolerate abuses in office--ex"
travagant expenditures, neglect of
public duties, wasted jobbery and
whatnot, . ' " . ';.; .;
In our opinion there was perhaps
never a more trifling body than the
Fiftyxsecond Congress and the Mes
sbngke will be glad when it expires
by limitation. It knows how to vote
away moneys and swell the public
burdens. Its last conspicuous act
was to increase the already vast peni
sion dead-weight and outrage.
Our correspondent says he knows
that ''the people demand economy
and wise legislation from bur Rep
resentatives" in Washington. If
they do. not heed the yoice of the
people in this demand,; they will
hear from them when , they seek
again to be returned to the places
they have not wisely and faithfully
filled and to the office they haye not
magnified. The politicians are de
ceiving themselves, but the peop'.e
are watching them as they have not
been watched before. They' m ust

TWO DISTlNCiUISIIED MlPf 1STEIIS
J
In the death of Rev. Dr
J.!
L,
the
Burrows, of the Baptist Churcbj
South loses an able and faithful
minister cf the Gospel. He was an
excellent man and we are gratified
to have known him personally. He
died iri Augusta, Ga., aged 79, where
his gifted son, Rev. Dr. Lansing
Burrows, is pastor of a Baptist
Church. The Norfolk Landmark says
of him: -: ;
"He was a ministering angel here
during his long pastorate of the
Freemason vstreet Baptist Church,
A sturdy disciple of the Master
and a charming preacher, he 'was
bound to his people with hooks of
steel. Ha fought a good fl ht, ; and
has gone to his just reward in the
bosom of his Father and his God.?'
Another remarkable Baptist min
ister we have the good fortune of
knowing, is the venerable and able
Rev. Dr. J. W. M. Williams, ' who
for. forty-two years has been the
earnest and successful pastor of the
First Bapti3t Church in -Baltimore.
Dr. Williams p a Virginian and a
natiye of Norfolk, and was born j ! in
1820. He has a fin i literary and
theological education and is an ad
mirable gentleman, -
OCR CITY
AND ITS HEALTH.
The report of the Superintendent
of Health for some months has been
inyaiiably favorable, showing a de
crease of mortality. . The deaths in
December were less than for eight
years past, although the population
in that time has steadily increased.
Eight years ago it was not more than
18,500; nowit is quite 21,000, per
haps 21,500. The better sanitary,
condition is probably the cause of, a
lower death rate. The big scare of
last summer and fall over the choW
era caused much cleaning in the
town, aud good results are seen in
Dr. Potter's reports for three months
past. The cholera is on its way to
this country. That ! appears! - to be
the fixed belief of medical experts,
newspaper men in the ' North an 1
others. . - I- ; .! .
People become yety careless in
cold weather. They throw .around
their .filth. Garbage accumulates
and the death-traps enlarge. What
is to be donef Keep up the sleanli
ness, make the town cleaner than
eyer before and prepare for the worst.
It is said by those who ought to
know that cholera will not live where
all is clean and pure. The large
Indian city of Ispahan is directly in
the line of the march of the cholera
in its journies from its seat-j-where
H is bjrn always to the west, and
yet cholera never attacks that city.
It will ravage in cities on either
side, but keeps out of Ispahan. So
says tne aisungaisnea American
quarantine and cholera expert, Dr.
IS. O. Shakespeare, of Philadelpnia, j
TELE r W tliM t
who has made a special, study of
cholera in the' East, taving been
sent into 1; Asia by the American
Government to make aldose exam
ination of cholera. Th:8 reason of
Ispahan's exemption is its wonderful
cleanliness. If
If crime is decreasing in Nprth
Carolina Wsome Judges and some
newspapers insist upon, hangings are
increasing all the sante " as are the
carldidates for hanging!, either by
order of! thje regular J u4ge or by the
extraordinary court I over which
Judge Lyncj
h presides.

The fine little poBm of Dr. Hawks
to which we referred; recently is
entitled "The Blind Boy." It is a
pity that the orator and r author did
not cultivate his poetical gifts. "We

The Messeksee congratulates Mr.
W, G. Burkhead, upon his election as
Principal Clerk of the Senate. 1 It
regrets that our venerable and able
friend, Col. J. D. Cameron, was not
ejected Chief Clerk of thje House. He
has done splendid service for the
Democracy with his Btrong and
graceful pen through the last twenty
years. Is it a crime "tv growl old
graeefully" among Democrats? We

The Wilmington Messenger urges
the repeal of the homestead law.
We have often urged this. Indeed,
we have never endorsed it, but have
always held, and still believe it is a
refuge for scoundrels. It never put
a dollar in the pockets of any man
but a shirker of honest debts, and
every man who took advantage of it
was compelled to rob hts neighbor, or
his creditor to a certain amount. It
would be better were it repealed Very,
many of the homesteads in North
Carolina to-day belong by i right to
gome one else other , than those who
ho:d possession by reason of the law.
It rob3 Peter to pay Paul. It" sets up
one man on the plea of poverty and
robs another ; equally needy because
he was kind and indulgent enough to
trust his neighbor.' Such a law is
oppressive, immoral and a bar to
prosperity. ! No man who sits down
behind hishomestead can borrow
money or get such help as he needs
often And (there is no incentive
for him to improve his limited pos
session. The law is a hindrance to
the energetic and progressive young
men of the btate and a clog to al
classes and conditions. It ought to
be repealed as a- measure worthy
I only of. feudal times. Salisbury
