lugton last week to the daily papers
nod copied in the Courier, stating
that Mr. Cramer had been reappoint-
tid superintendent ot the mint in
Charlotte, tar aed out to be a false a
arm. Mr. Cramer's resignatioujuas
beeu accepted audcapt. Ardrey has
been appointed to that position- The
Democrats are rejoicing that the
news has turned out to be thus
Things are beginuing to look bright"
er all around. It is now about cer
tain that Brady will soon have to
turn over the post-office to a Dem
ocrat. And what is belter still,
Kerr Craig, of Salisbury, has beeu
appointed 3rd, assistant postmaster
geneial, salary $4,000. And theu it
;a said the colored F. M. at Fayette
ville will have to give way to a
Democrat at an early day. These

LopetUl suiiltia tn the fan - -
ocrats all over the State. Now if
that farcical rule about "hlitig
charges' could be blotted out, the
prospects would be exceedingly
.cheerful.
The appointments which have
boeti made in the laBt week, both
in the postofilce department and
o'berwise have given fresh courage
to tbe Democrats. The criticisms
ubich have been made by the Press
ud leading Democrats have done
much good in that respect. The
oaiy way for the party to have its
wishes complied with is to let it be
kuowu when the administration is
go. ng contrary to the party's opin
ions aud desires. Just and legiti
mate criticism always brings lorth
goid fruits- If the people sileutly
or openly approve of everything
whether they think it right or not,
hovT will the administration know
but itis acting in accordance with
Ihe will of its constituents, even
wtitu it may not be so doing?
iT i said that the administration
has ruled that in order to secure
the removal of a Kepobllcan from
cilice before bis term expires, it is
necessary to "file charges" against
tiie present incumbent, and that the
charge "offensive partisanship"' is
s u ill en t cause tor removal. The
.o!y thing that bothers us about
this matter is the question as to
wliut constitute "otfeusiTe partisan
ship " They say this is the only
charge that is to secure the re
moval of Grady from the postorlice
at Cnarlotte. At the same time he
is said to be a good postmaster, but
wa very active in politics during
Uie last campaign. We Ofine that
oHensive partisanship'' is activity
in me interest of party success. If
thi is correct and tbe rule above
mentioned is to hold good it will ;
require only a little extra effort to
secure the removal ot nearly all Re
publicans cow holdiug office. We
fjave only to regret that the "rule"
is net made more simple and clears
er by simply stating the fact that
all Kepublicau officers sre politically
"offensive" to Democrats iu a polit
ical campaign, under a Republican
ttdminiatratiou, and all Democratic
oiScers are politically "offensive" to
Republicans nader a Democratic
administration. Therefore, as the
Democrats are now in power, all
Republicans should be removed be
cause of offensive partisanship-'''

Tin: tu.i iri: ohaictj-:ii.
Tho Farmers Alliance and thfi
Third party in Nortti Carolina if;
now one and the same in politica;
doctrine and practice, with here anc
there a very few individual exceptions-
At nearly all of their meet''
ings this spring po far as we can
gather from the publications in their
papers the proceedings are devoted
principally to the denunciation of tho
last Legislature for making it pos
sible for thos3 having funds in tin;
Business Agency treasury to with,
draw tbe same. They say, however,
that the General Amenably "at"
tempted'' to repeal the whole AK
liance charter. Are they not ye:
aware that tbe Democratic party
had an overwhelming majority and
if they bad desired, they could hav ?
repealed the whole charter witbont
any "attempt" about it?'' It n
true that a few of the Legislators
were in for wiping out the whoh
thing (aud we are not sure tha.
these few were not attempting the
tight thing.) But to say the Leg
islature as a body -'attempted" to
do a thing and did it not, is simply
nonsense. If it had desired to re-
peal the Alliance charter it could
easily have done it. It simply did
what it attempted'' to do. It a
taeuded that part ot the charter
which has to do with the trustee
fund &o that those who have paid
into tbe fund are allowed to with
draw ; and also preveut persons
from being individually responsi
ble lor tne transaction of that part
of tbe -'concern."
This deuouncitig conduct ou the
part of the Alliance, or Third party,
is another clear proof of the fact
that that "Older" can hud no good
in auy legislative or political act
which may be done indepeudeut of
its owu "demauds,'' No, this pecu
liarly fault-findiug "Order'' is so
fond ot liberty(?) and "equal rights
to all" (?) that when it once gets an
individual and his money into i's
clutches it wants the special privis
ledge"' of holding hin and especial -
i' Wis money, eternally and forever!
The general Assembly did right iu
giving freedom to those who had
gotten into the organization's clutches-
It the Legislature did auy
wrong iu its conduct towards the
Alliance it was in that it did not
take away from that Order the en
tire charter for having abused its
"special priviledges'' by converting
itself into a secret political orgaui
zation. And it the General Assent'
bly had repealed tbe charter whol
ly, it would not have received any
more abusa than it is now, from
that third party element.
We verily believe that thij Alii
ance organization has done more tc
engender strife, abr.se and hard
feelings among the Southern people
than anything that has ever come
along. They talk about wiping out
sectional feelings between the North
and the South, aud yet they have
not only done eo good in that re
spect, but have created strife be
tween neighbor and neighbor and
iu a great measure destroyed
that peace and harmony which has
heretofore characterized our
Southern people.. It has been so in
the last two years or more that no
citizen, speaker or newspaper could
.;penly oppose or criticise any of
i heir measures or "demands" with
out receiving bitter denunciations
and whole-sale abuse at the very
first meeting of tho "Order'' there
after, This course of aetion was
meekly endured for some time un
til "foibearauce ceased to be a vir.
tue," and the evils of their ways
have been and are still being point
ed out in plana language.
AN AWFUL CALAMITY.
REEPSVILLE, May 8, 1893.
At a regular meeting of the Pleas

vindictive spirit to destroy our no

in the attempt to repeal the charter
of our noble order, aud resolve that

CONGRESSMAN ALEXAN
DER'S VIEWS.
The Charlotte JVews has recently
interviewed Capt S, R. Alexander,
who is now at home, and the foN
lowing Is a part of the interview :
Capt. Alexander said that -Mr.
Bissell is aclever man aud people
misjudge him. He goes according
to the policy mapped out by the ad
ministration. This policy is that
uo presidential postmaster or fourth
class po.st master will be removed
iiiiltwia r-hurptAsi am oreferwl aiiiwt
tbem, but every Kepubiicau post
master against whom ccarges are
pieterred will be made to give way
to a Democrat. The simple tact is,
that if the people ot any town desire
to have tneir Republican postmas
ter removed, all they have to do is
to file the charges. Capt.. Alexan
der intimates that in too many in
stances, tbe responsibility ot mak
ing charges is shitted upon tne
shoulders of the Congressman.
"How about the Charlotte post
office ?" asked the reporter.
"I expect that the appointment
will De made today," said Capt. Al
exander, "out if not today, theu ios
morrow.7'
"Who will get it?'' was the next
questiou,
Capt. Alexauder, by the way ot
reply said : "Capt. Robertson is n
commended by Senator Ransom
and myself ''
"The Fayetteville posfoffiee
what is the trouble about that f
"As I understand it," said Capt
Alexander, "uo person was recom
mended to take th6 place of the
present incumbent. I think there
will be no trouble about making the
the desired change there when
tilings are presdnted in the proper
shape.

Congress passed a law last ses
sion rtquiiiug all Chinamen to
secure certificates ot citizen

Those refusing to do so are to leave
the country or be punished. The
act has teen contested iu the Su
preme court, bat ha? been decided

trom the Atlanta Journal :
Washington May 17. Congress"
man Caminetti, of California, had a
short conference with the president
this morning, and left the white
bouse feeling assured that it was
the intention of the president to see
that the Chinese restriction afit was
enforced.
Caminetti denied that it would
take anything like the sum of mon
ey that bad beeu mentioned to en
force tbe act for the reason that
those Chinamen entitled to remain
would have to secure their certifi
cates at their own expense, and that
those against whom the law really
aimed would be (Tightened out of
the country the moment an honest
attempt is made to enforce it.
He says that the imposition of
the punishment prescribed one
year at hard labor upon a tew of
o&enders will be sufficient to drive
all others out, and that the United
States will not be called upon to de
port tho great mass of people.
Caminetti is of the opinion that
what additional money .nay be
needed will be voted at the next
session and he fears no repeal of the
law.
It is understood that the presi
dent, is to hold a conference with
secretary of tho 'reasury for the
purpose- of defining means for the
enforcement of the law.
The Washington correspon-.
dent of the Charlotte Observer of
the23inst says: "Representative
Heuderson's po-toffices are all fixed

tested place unfilled. This will be

to removals and what i necessary

Congressman Alexauder and frorx,
other sources that tbe rule ha al

that a Congressman's chaige tha':

case; there would seem to ba no nec

Congressman Livingston
Crow,
Concerning the revocation by the

to a correspondent ot the New York
Sun : "By revoking the appoint

he may be a Cabinet officer from
Georgia, he will not bi allowed to
interfere with the prerogatives of
the Representatives, and it further
nieaus that he does not iutend to
allow Smith to use bis office to fight
Georgians who refused to urge bim
for a place in the Cabiuet. Smith
may continue to make ar on me,
but the action of Mr. Cleveland i'i
this matter convince' me that he is
absolutely just and fair, and that
he is goiug to see thai his Cabinet
officers do not interfere in matters
belouging to the Congressmen. But
I do not believe that there is anoth
er member of the Cabinet who
would resort to such tactics in an
effort to punish one who has in a
certain sense i ceo his r.val, or at
least one who bas refaseJ to sup
