It is, as if a doctor were to point to the graves of his paitients as the supreme tokens of his professional 1 skill." Charlotte News. Mr. Cleveland does no such thins; and you know it. It does not nV in the mouth of any Dem ocratic paper which quotes Repub lican' authority with approbation to no so other Democrats of re ' joicl:.j' over Republican success. And, if we mistake not, the News belong to that class of Democrats in North Carolina who have con tiniia: y tried to conciliate the Al liance, better known as the Popu list party. And though you pub lish rich things as the above al most v-aily and take every occa sion to try to prove supporter's of Mr. Cleveland Republicans, you still raise a howl about sound 'money men emphasizing Demo cratic differences.

Since he is a "Major" we confidently expect to hear of his title and co-operation putting him into something like Congress or the Legislature. Complete co-operation is what Major" ard now favors. His letter is only another illustration f the cohesive power of spoils. The.public. will remember that the "Mpjor"- was suddenly converted to the Fusion in 1894.

We are proud of the war record of North Carolina, and we are heartily ashamed of the fact that she has a Confederate 6old'er in her midst with little enough brains to declare that he wa9 a fool when following Lee and Jackson. Five years ago, if there was a gold Democrat in public in the United States, he carefully con cealed his preference for what Ike Hi II calls "the jaundiced metal." The hew boldness of the gold 8tand ard men and their success in un expected quarters is a fresh men ace to securing a Round financial system. Hitherto nobody but bankers talked gold. Now politi cians go further than bankers in advocacy of the single gold stand ard. Most of the great political economists of the world are bimet al list a. News and Observer. As early as December, 1885, Mr. Grover Cleveland, the president of the United States, wrote a message to Congress which mo9t sensible men have thought expressed a preference for the ''jaundiced met al." But how about a man, who would vote for a "jaundiced metal" man in 1888 and in 1892 and even accept an office under him, turning around on the heels of it all and writing the above?

CONGRESSMAN SI I U- foud vrsTr oicrs'- TKALIZATION. The startling news reaches us j from Washington that our Con gressman, Craige Shuford, has suddenly realized that the govern ment ownership of railroads might tend to Centralization. Every body in this county knows how eloquently Mr. Shuford has plead ed on the 6tump, in Alliance meet ing, and in private for govern ment ownershipof "those grasping corporations which are sucking the life blood from our body politic. To all such as have heard these ap peals and were convinced by logic of this singularly gifted son of Catawba, we have ' to beg forgive ness for being a bearer of bad news. We have all the while thought that Mr. Shuford would introduce a bill to buy the Narrow Guage, at least, if no more. We had expected the government could afford to buy the "people's own line." Now, we are forced to inform an expectant and disap pointed people that Mr. Shuford has suddenly realized the fact that government ownership means cen tralization, and, as the Populists do not believe in centralization and Democrats do, therefore, we must have no government owner ship. But to be serious, everybody yet remembers how Shuford preached the doctrine of government owner ship while a candidate for Cong-ess in this district. Now, all at once he flops over and says he is afraid it would tend to centraliza tion. -UL JiW wtisk clinttl date? But we account for this sudden change of base from the fact-that Mr. Shufsrd said in a private conversation to some friends in Lincolnton a few weeks ago, that, if lie continued to feel two years from now like he did then, they would have to get an other man to fill his place. We believe the man can be found I THli2 JjESsJ iG 12. The-Finaucial part of thePresi- dets late message will be found at another place in this paier i ne messaee. a a vhnl . .
