The Golden Wedding at Lin colnton Last Monday. The writer was fortunate in being included in the party who went from here to Lincolnton Monday to take part in the cele bration of the golden wedding near that place, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Miller being the bride and groom. From this place those who : went were Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Re- 1 gan, Miss Oneita Miller, and the writer. R*v. and Mrs. McNairy joined us on the train from Le noir, with little Miss Lisabel. J Reaching Lincolnton at a little after eight, we drove out to the 1 old homestead some three or four j miles from the town; and found J the good couple in ignorance that I ] anything special was to be done i in their honor. The secret had : been well kept. Besides our i own party, and Miss Emily Mil- s ler, only surviving member of * Mr. j. A. Miller's family, we 1 found Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Miller, £ from Hinton, W. Va.; Mr. Z. S. Miller, from Montgomery, W. Va., and Mrs. H. C. Corriher, from Salisbury. These with Miss Annie Miller, who lives with her j parents, completed the circle, except Mr. C. P. Miller, who c was detained by illness in his family. Fifty vears ago on the 10th Mr. and Mrs. Miller were united by Dr. Morrison, father- j in-law of our beloved v Stone- wall" Jackson; and in all that time, death has never entered .. their home. They moved to the place where the present brick ( residence stands .in a few weeks * after their marriage. The house c then standing was burned just before the war, it having been erected in the first ten years of ( the last century, and, as Mr. Miller faithfully served the - South through the whole four years of strife, his family lived in a small cabin until his hard work and constant endeavor en- ' abled him to rebuild. He sold it ( •once, but re-purchased, and has lived in the one spot ever since. , Present with the worthy pair Monday, besides their children, and nine grand-children, were ( Rev. aiiu Mrs. Heller.of Maiden; Rev. Dr. Clapp, of Newton, and those members of ths Ramseur family most nearly related. At late nooning, an excellent picnic dinner was spread upon the turf in the front yard, under a fine elm planted by Mr. W. E. Miller thirty-eight years ago. Dr. Clapp asked the blessing of the Gieat Giver upon the food, and the guests partook of it with keen appetites. After the meal was finished, Clapp in an appropiiate ad dress, p esenttd Mr. and Mrs. Miller with a handsome tea-ser vice of i-late, a iair of gold mo anted spec acles each, and gold coin, etc., bestowed ujxn them by loving and grateful chil dren. Short add leases, ai pro- priate and touching, were then made bv Revs. Heller and Clapp. and photographs of different groups were taken by Messrs. W. E. and A. A. Miller. Part of the family remained for some days, the rest returning to Hick ory by the evening train which is such a convenience to all trav eling over the C. & N-W's. line. Your correspondent has never spent a pleasanter day, and heartily copies for Mr. and Mrs. Miller the Spanish wish, "May they live a thousand years." Harvest Home Services. Last Sunday was Harvest Home Sunday at the Reformed churcn The building was beau tifully decorated .with grains, fruits and flowers, and a praise service was held. Dr. Murphy [preached from Gen. 41; 49, dra wing parallells between the full ! years in Egypt and those we are now enjoying, and deriving les sons from them. A children's service was held at night, and the church was crowded at both 1 services.

President Roosevelt never misses an opportunity to preach civic virtue and personal and of ficial honesty, but he has been, singularly unfortunate in sur- ( rounding himself with men who j have not been able to resist temptation, and who have not hesitated to line their pockets with the money of the taxpay ers. The history of his adminis tration has been a history of rev elations of graft and thievery. A mere list of the cases that have come to light would be a long one. For instance, when the unwilling administration was finally driven to an investiga tion of charges that had been 1 made against officials of the Postoffice Department, it was found that the entire department i ;vas honey-combed with graft, i Dfficials and clerks of all grades i arere regularly pocketing the 1 Droceeds of collusion with con- i ;ractors and the net result has i seen the filling of several peni- 1 cells, and the number of :onvietions might have been still i ligher had not many employees ] >een let off with dismissal. Whether or not the Department 1 vas completely cleared up, the ] itmosphere of graft seems to ] inger about the building for the : iisbursing officer of the Wash- 1 ngton City postoffice has recent- iy been found to be a defaulter. ; On even a larger scale than the Post Office Department graft ! was the wholesale stealing of public land which Was found to ; be going on in the West by the co-operation of thieves in and out of office. Another case of gnraft on a large scale wa3 that by which advance information as to government crop reports was sold to speculators and bro kers who were thus enabled to gamble on the cotton and grain exchanges with loaded dice. By comparison with these instances of whslesale graft the many cases in which individual dis bursing officers have been found to be 'defaulters are relatively insignificant. Among the many of these have been defalcations by disbursing officers in the War Department, the Census Office, and the National Museum. Such a record is sufficient to raise the question of whether ic is not true that the entire government service should have cueh an over turnir g as can be brought abju only by substituting Democratic administration for thit ot the Republican party. j J.

With the surrender of Gov ernor Cummins of lowa, to the stand-pat Republicans in that State all pretense that the trust protecting Dingley law is to be revised by its friends has been ' abandoned. Here and there, as in Massachusets, a few tßepub lican candidates for Congress are trying to delude the voters of their districts into the belief that there is still hope of Repub lican tarrif revision. There is no reason to doubt that these Mas sachusetts men are in favor of revision to the extent that it would benefit New England by giving the manufactures of that section free raw materials, but they will find themselves as pow erless to secure even that small means of modification of the D'ngley schedule in the next Congress as they have been in the past. The exposition of the real attitude of the Republican party on this question is to be found in the utterances of the two men who rule it with a rod of iron—President Roosevelt and Speaker Cannon. Mr. Roose velt's letter to Mr. Watson and Mr. Cannon's keynote speech may be read in vain for a single sentence holding out the hope that the tariff will be revised. Mr. Roosevelt said that revision would be, undertaken whenever "che benefits to be derived from making such changes will out weigh the disadvantages; that is, when the revisien will do more good than harm." Mr. Cannon used practically the same language. In ot v er words,' it is the policy of the Republican par ty to revise the ta* iff where re vision will benefit the special in terests that are now being fat tened by protection, and that is equivalent to saying that they i will never revise it, unless, in deed, they follow the the lead of }he most extrema of all of the advocates cf high duties—Mr. McCleary, of Minnesota, and re vise it upwards.
