THURSDAY, JUNK 2., 1891,
Ex-Senator Joseph E. McDonald
died at his home in Indianapolis, In
diana, Monday night at 1 1:35 o'clock
He was born in liutler county, Ohio
August 29, 1819. With him there
passes away one of the most notable
figures in national politics. For ove
half a century has been the greatest old
time Hoosier Democrat next to Hen
dricks before the people. After
serving three years as Attorney Gen
eral he was sent to Congress. He
served only one term in the House,
being beaten for a return by Oliver P.
Morton. Some years later he was
elected to the United States Senate,
taking his seat March 4, 1S75, holding
it for six years. Few men of more
intense partisanship than Joseph E.
McDonald ever entered the Senate.
His platform then, as repeatedly ex
pressed by hirn, was : "Jacksonian
Democracy, Home Rule and Free
Trade." McDonald had a strong fol
lowing in the 1884 and 1888 Demo
cratic Presidential conventions. Many
Indianians favored his nomination for
the Presidency in 1SS4.
Lieut. R. E. Peary, of the United
States navy, last week sailed from
New York on an expedition to the
Arctic regions. The object is scien
tific research. His wife was a mem
ber of the party. She is the first
white woman who ever dared the
rigors and privations of the northren
regions. An account says: This brave
and devoted woman is really beautiful,
a brunette, small and delicately formed,
but with a heart as courageous as a
lion. The lieutenant has calculated
the chanches and will keep her by his
side, and it is to be hoped they will
fulfill their mission and return safe
and sound.
One of the most admirable and
entertaining publications we get is Tlie
Dominion Illustrated, published by
the Sabiston Litho and Tub. Co.,
Montreal, Canada. The illustrations
are made from views of Canadian
scenery, important buildingsand prom
inent personages, and are in them
selves works of art in the engraving
line. From a glance at its well filled
pages one gathers much valuible in
formation, as instructive as it is inter
esting, about that picturesque and
romantic section of country.
Ex-Gov. David S. Reid died at
his home in Rockingham county, N,
C, last Friday, aged 78 years. He
permanently retired from politics
many years ago and so quietly were
the last years of his life spent that he
-1
,uu auuost topped out of sight of
the general public, especially among
the younger generation. He served
six years in the State Senate, four
years in Congress and two as Gov
ernor. ... Hl uaugnters ot the Prince of

KEY. IiAYLUS CADE.
As heretofore announced was his
impose to lo. Rev. Baylus Cade re
tired from the editorial conduct of the
'regressive Farmer with the last
issue of that paper. Like the honest
and honorable man that he is, and
upright, hightoned Christian gentle
man that his friends know him to be,
this step was taken voluntarily by him
because he could not conscientiously
advocate certain measures which the
attitude of the Progressive Farmer as
the organ of the Farmers' Alliance of
the State, demanded. He says:
With the i) resent issue of the Pro-
gressive Farmer my connection
1
with
it as editor terminates. I retire from
the naner of mv on motion, and am
led to this step by a sense of duty
is right that I should give to
It
the
readers of the paper, and to the
gen-
eral public, my reasons for retiring
After a careful and patient study
of the ,Sub-Treasury bill,. I- am con
vinced that its enactment into law
would be disastrous to the country,
and especially so to the agricultural
interests of the country. Holding this
view, I cannot write one word in favor
of that bill. The dominant sentiment
in the Alliance upon this measure is
in irreconcilable conflict with my
views; and the only manly and honor
able course left open for me is to retire,
and let another editor take charge ot
the paper whose views are in harmony
with those of the friends of the Sub
Treasury bill.
It is due to Col. Polk and to all
the other officers of the Alliance that
I should distinctly say, that no pres-
sure of anv kind has ever been brought
to bear upon me to induce me to take
any position that I could not occupy
with a conscience void of offense. I
have been treated by all the brethren
with whom I have been associated in
the management of the paper with the
most marked, and the most uninter
niitted kindness ; and I retire with the
kindliest feelings for all my associates.
Seven months ago I took up the
pen as editor with many doubts and
misgivings. During this time I have
used it to write no personal attacks
upon any one to write no sentence
that can bring a blush of shame to the
face of a gentleman. I have used it
to write only what I believed in my
inmost soul to be true. I lay it down
with the full assurance that the man
who takes it up after me will find no
filthy stain upon it.
I want to express my deep sense of
the kindness and indulgence shown to
me by the members of the State press
during my brief time of editorial ser
vice. No gentleman of the North
Carolina press has written an unkindly
thing about me during these months ;
and I value this more than I can say.
DOES NOT CARE FOR THE STATE.
We hear of a certain paper out
side of the State that has 9,000 weekly
subscribers in the State, and this is to
the neglect of faithful home papers.
That paper is a good one, but it really
cares nothing for North Carolina or
its interests. It never defends the
State or seeks to advance its interests.
It really takes no more interest in the
affairs of North Carolina than it does
in those of Massachusetts, although
published in the South. It is no more
North Carolinian than the New York
Herald or Tribune or World is North
Carolinian Wilmington Messenger.
Nine thousand subscribers is a larger
circulation than that of any North
Carolina newspaper with one excep
tion. Here is a paper circulating in
the State in preference to its own
papers. This paper cares nothing for
the history of the State. This paper
would publish any sensational or
damaging yarn, that any fake news
gatherer might send it. We have
our eyes on the paper referred to. It
is the strongest and most humiliating
evidence of a lack of State pride.
Charlotte Chronicle.
This is indeed "a most humiliating
evidence of a lack of State pride."
But who is to blame? Certainly not
the paper. Its business is to circulate
as many copies as it can find demand
for, and having done that its interest
ceases. It cares nothing for North
Carolina or North Carolinians, a fact
which has been clearly demonstrated
quite recently in permitting its col
umns to be used for the purpose of
slandering an honorable and patriotic
citizen of the State.
1I0AV TO BUILD TOWNS.
This is a day of booms. Booms
are a Western invention, and have
been worked more or less throughout
the West where they have built more
imaginary towns than one could shake
a stick at in thirty days. They have
helped to build some real towns, too,
but this was when the towns had some
thing more than booms to build upon.
The boom is all right when it has
something substantial behind it, but
when it hasn't it generally ends in a
collapse, a big burst where more or
less people get hurt, and that makes
every body cautious and suspicious
and hurts the towns which have some
thing better behind them than mere
booms. For this reason people who
desire the prosperity of the State, per
manent and well-grounded prosperity,
should not encourage booms unless
they have something solid under
them.
The boom hasn't struck North Car
olina yet, and there are no indications
that it will, something on which North
Carolina is to be congratulated. The
nearest approach to it is the Land
Improvement Companies which have
been organized in many towns, and
which, if properly managed, may be
the instruments of the advancement
and prosperity of the towns where they
operate, but, if not wisely managed,
may do incalculable harm. A forced
growth, with nothing to sustain it,
must result in a collapse.
It is an easy thing for a number of
shrewd, energetic men, with capital
at their command, to purchase sub
urban tracts, divide the land off into
blocks, run streets through it, build
an imposing hotel with an imposing
name, lay off parks, avenues, drives,
&c, on paper, divide the blocks up
into lots, advertise liberally, then get
up cheap excursions, give a big bar
becue, put the lots up at auction and
knock them clow n at money enough
to pay for four or five acres at original
purchase price. That's selling lots
and making lots of money for the
little syndicate, but it isn't building
up the town by a long sight.
This is beginning at the wrong end.
If these syndicates had control of
money enough to erect factories,
machine shops, &c, to give work to
the people whom they invite to buy
their lots, they would be beginning
at the right end and laying the foun- j
dalion lor contmuea growin anu pros
perity. These need not necessarily
be large industries requiring much
capital, but what are called "small"
industries, to which, the locality may
be maintained without a large outlay
of money, and which may become
self-sustaining and profitable. Several
"small" industries, employing a pro
portionate number of people and a
proportionate amount of capital are
better for a town than one large in
dustry, because they employ a variety
of labor and require a variety of raw
material, thus benefiting a greater
number of people.
Greensboro started out on the right
track when she organized the steel and
iron works which will give employ
ment to a large number of skilled
workmen, and will doubtless lead to
the establishment of numerous other
kindred industries. The prospective
' establishment of these steel and iron
works has done more to give an un
puise 10 activity anu uispucijiuv.
in the future of that town than a dozen
land companies and forty volumes of
"writeups" would do.
The land improvement companies
are good enough as far as they go,
when they are not run for mere pur
poses of speculation, and when the
object is not to make credulous people
pay big money for cheap property
upon which fictitious value has been
put, because they introduce mordern
improvements and awaken a progres
sive spirit which possibly might not
have been awakened without them,
but they should be accompanied by
industrial enterprises to be really effec
tive in promoting the solid growth
and permanent prosperity of the
towns in which they are organized.

Fremont.
Editor Gold Leaf: In tracing
the history of our country we find many
distinguished men with dispositions
and talents adapted to the important
part they acted. No country has pro
duced a greater array of great men
than our republic has. Their history
should be recorded that survivors may
know the character- of the illustrious
one3 that went before them. Among
the men ot prominence that acted on
the stage of public life we find the life
of John C. Fremont, the great explorer
of the west. He was truly a wonderful
man fitted intellectually and physically
for the arduous duties assigned him.
He had great physical powers of endur
ance. When other men's would have
flagged his seemed to acquire new
vigor and strength for the perilous
enterprise. His explorations of the
west gave our people much valuable
and desired information at a time they
knew very little about the magnificent
rivers and rich lands of the west. Fre
mont and his heroic band deserved
much credit for their persistent efforts
amjd savage foes in searching out and
unfolding the hidden mysterie8 cf the
west. I would not have been one of
his party for all the gold that has been
extracted from the hills ana valleys of
California. It seemed to be his delight
to bring to light the wonders of the
west to climb the ruggej steeps and
stand upon the summit of snow-capped
mountains "where human f00t na(j
never stood befote, feeling the thrill of
first explorers." But for his explora
tions of the west it would have been
much slower in building Up. jt cau9ed
a mighty rush of emigrants to the gold
regions in search of gold, and placed
hundreds of millions Qf the precious
metal in the treasury 0f the country.
Like a mushroom springing up in the
night California suddenly became pop
ulous enough for a State and knocked
at the door for admission into the
Union before she had a territorial gov
ernment. Fremont's life was truly
wonderful. His services to his country
were never appreciated and rewarded
as they should hav9 been. Tis try.,
he was called to several positions of
trust. When he died, a short time ago,
they talked about pensioning the widow
of a man who should have controlled
(by right of discovery) more gold than
the millionaire Mackay owns. What
traveller as he goes rushing along on
the western railroads looking out upon
the wide extending fields before him
ever thinks of the engneeting skill and
privations of a Fremont in the west.
Fremont has passed away no more to
mingle iu the eventful scenes of life.
But he has one enduring fame. "Fre
mont's Peak" will ever stand in its
grandeur as a monument to remind
tourists of the great western explorer
whose name it beats. R. W. II.
Col. A. B. Andrews Promoted.
The Raleigh State Chronicle says:
Col. A. 13. Andrews, so we see it
stated iu the papers, will shortly be
come first Vice-President of the Rich
mond and I)anville railroad. It was
thought he would decline this office on
account of the necessity of removing
to New York, but this objec-tion
has been overcome and he will be
permitted to hold the position and re
side in North Carolina.
The Chronicle rejoices in every honor
and preferment that comes to Col. An
drews, lie is a man of fine executive
ability, a thorongh-going business man,
and a patriotic Xorth Carolinian. It is
largely due to his wisdom that the
llichmond and Danville railj-oad ia an
organization of such vast powerts ex
tends over so large a territory, and
such a mighty agency for developing
the resources of the South. He is
worthy to be at the head of this great
corporation.
