DOUBTFU ST Man's capacity, for self gov eminent is still questioned, and rightly too, it to be judged by some examples. The liming ton Messenger in an editorial amount paid by the county last national history. He was, Mr Han- year, when a fine accompanied by a slight sentence of imprison ment to force the payment of the cost and fine or a part there of, was very heavy. Our courts are wnac nurt tne county financially. And our last court has not proven an exception to the rule It ended with eigh teen prisoners in jail, fifteen of whom the county will iri all probability get little benefit from. If they were all put in to hire out for . payment of costs and fine, the punishment would be greater and the county pro Itected. Something must be done to protect the county from such cities. HON. W. B- SHAW. says : . "The United States threw off the burdens of monarchy more than one hundred vears asro. It is a uw - i cj question in 1895 that is open to (lis cussion, , "Are the American peo ple yet capable of self-government V it is at least doubtful. Look , at Kaleigh now, and when the Black Republicans lay the destructive axe to law and precedent and valuarde and well-tested institutions and sys terns, it is easy to see the spirit of unrest, of ignorance, of unbridled passion, of revolution and anarch asserting itself." We cannot agiee that North Carolina must be judged by the present Legislature. To be true? there are a few able Re publicausx but we would be will ing to wager that the majority never read any laws don't know anything about the Con stitution, and really care noth ing except' the gratification of a : few small political desires. COL- J. S. CARE- , Every lover of law and every one who wants to see the guilty punished and the innocent pro tected, will , regret that Mr. Shaw will not come ujrain as Solicitor. He has shown him self to be an able, diligent and discreet prosecuting officer. He sought to give the crime the punishment it deserved; and no more. He did not prosecute, where the best ends of justice could be secured without it. mu.uc a nust ui n ienus nei e. This gentleman having amass ed a fortune has directed his ambition into other channels also.

BELIEVED WHAT HE SAID. He was an unceasing advo cate of reform and the uncompro mising opponent to civil service re- i form, lie was the ardent friend of silver men and free coinage. Ho desired all the world to know his opinion and position, and never hes itated to avow them. His heart was every moment with North Caro lina, aiidMns devotion to that State and her people was unbounded. Ho was an uncommon orator. He spoke with great power; his stjle wa3 brief, clear and strong ; his state ments accurate, and his arguments compact. His illustrations were tin surpassed. His wit and humor weie waiting and handy. He al ways instructed, always interested, always entertained ; never wearied or fatigued any audience. The Sen ite always heard him with pleasure. The galleries hung on ins lips, with bended l)dies and outstretched necks, to Catch his every word as it -ell. His wit was as exhaustless as it was exquisite. His humor was overflowing, and his phrases spark led like bubbling drops of wine. He was master of irony and sarcasm, hut ttiere waj no malice in his words. His shafts were novel poisoned. It was the strength of the bolt and the skill of t he aicher which sent the stetd to the heart of his victims. He believed what he said. He knew that it was true, ami he t el t its force himself". His heart wan in his words. For thirty yvjrs he had .stood by the people of 'his "State. He was to them a broth er, a defender, a preserver, a deliverer.
