Three Months 1 00 GO 35 THE PRICE THAT WALSER PAID. Our friend and substantial Democratic neighbor the Char lotte Observer under the above caption sagely remarks as fol lows: "We have been rather slow to believe that Mr. Walser, of David son, traded the prerogative of thfc speakership of the lower house of the Legislature for the privilege of occupying the chair during the life of that body, but we have seen no denial of the public allegation. The statement is that he was given the speaker ship in consideration of his prom ise to surrender the appointment of the committees of the house into the hands of a committee to be picked for that purpose, and if this is not true Mr. Walser should make haste to deny it. If it is true the speakership, involving then no right to speak of except that to sit on an elevated platform and preserve order, can never re compense him for the surrender of bis manhood. A man owes to. himself lirst of everything, the preservation of his own dignity and self-respect. Sacrificing these for any consideration whatever, 4ie cannot have much of substan tial value left. If Mr. Walser had been as jealous of his self-respect as he was eager for the speaker ship of tho House, he would have said when the terms upon -..winch he secured it were named to him: "No, sir; I will' have .the position with all the rights ii carries with it or I will not have it at all. If, for the name of Speaker, I must barter the highest prerogative of the office, you may take it and o I will not have it upon such terms or upon any terms.' This is what nineteen-twentieths of the men 'who have been Speak er of the North Carolina House would have said if the deal pro posed to Mr. Walser, and which he accepted, with its humiliating conditions, had been proposed to them. But in reaching out for what was to be , gotten he lost sight of what he lost in the get ting. He has debased himself and dragged what, with its rights and privileges unimpaired, is "an honorable office, into tho very dust.'; . This is only in lino with what the Press and Carolinian has been saying. A corrupt "trade" bargain or salo or ''vied verse in politics or political offices, is the worst form of villainy. A man may bo dishonest with ono of his neiirhbors for some sort of rea son but to be dishonest with all of his neighbors, renders him un worthyof belief even on oath by any of them, or any one else. But where the bulk olthe peo ple themselves scramble for the offices and think of nothing but the salary and perquisites ljttle lse could be expected, of the successful herd who get into office but that they barter and trade. The State's motto will have to bo changed. Jenks: What does Lazard, Freris Sc Co., and Ickelheimer, Josheim k Berz Ferz, of New York city do for a livpg? Mr. DcSalo!: They ship U. S. gold to Europe by some steamer every Saturday night and then give it out to the newspapers to get free advertising. It is sup posed that in 4his means, some way, they manage to extract a small living "out of life." GET TUOETHER; OR TOGETHER OIT. Congress has done nothing. What has Congress done? Con gress does nothing from day to day. Like the girl who stood up on the quay. She waited and watched and watched and waited for Jack; but from day to day there was no sight of sail. The people still wait, but will not wait still much longer. Tl le great Democratic Congress which has that great party hang ing on the ragged edge of des pair, like the Rocky Mountain goat on the brink of the precipice not knowing whether to jump again or "give up the gun;" or, like the drunk Irishman hanging to the lamp post who did not know whether to turn loose and and fall down or to fall down and then turn loose, is in the middle of a very bad fix in a dilimma, if any one knows what that is. The Irishman's case fits it more likely than any other. The soft sighing pines sighed as they boughed and said or seemed to say as we say here, pine knot. The good day is com ing, if it is a long ways off. Dem ocracy i3 not what a few men for selfish purposes try to make it, even if they are Senators and con gressmen and Cabinet officers and President. The inherently balancing cen tre of a centrifugal force of huge proportions defines the manner of the making of pure Democratic doctrine. It is so nice and deli cate; but being perfect is that much the more easily disturbed by untoward friction like the mechanism of all jof Nature. The slighest thine may put the machinery out of order. It seems that there are more combinations of things to put the Democratic machinery out of order however than should legitimately be allot ed to good or bad people of good principles. General Grant should never have said what he did about the party: That it would do the wrong thing at the right time. General Grant had always been a Democrat until elected Presi dent by the Republicans. It looks now as if the Demo cratic party would fare better if the present Congress would ad journ sine die at once. May it do so and show to the world what good men are,when they try to be. We mourn for the Democratic party,but we beof the Democrats that they get together! Let the Ad ministration and those in the Congress bow into sack cloth and ashes and then don the habili ments of contrite men of humble wisdom and get together; or, together git. THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. The Message of Governor Elias Carr, to the General Assembly of North Carolina is one of those sterling public dQcuments that could but emenate from an Inner and outer consciousness of abso lute fidelity and integrity to the best interests of the whole State. There is not a single solitary re commendation or suggestion but what is wise and eminently proper. Each one should be heeded and adopted by a Fusion legislature or any other kind of legislature. Tho whole Message is plain, straightforward, undeviating from truth and riht, with economy and justice, progress and saga cious business judgement as the essence of the whole document from begining to ending. We do not dissent from a word con tained in it. Mr. Do Salol: The resolutions of the Democratic National Con vention in 189G will no doubt be handicapped by the attempted interjsction by some french count or American no-account with the familliar lines running-thus: ''We point with pride," and just about that time some Tammany fellow will fire a brick through his whis kers." Jenks: Yes; so I've heard. 1 J CIGARETTES r1 Uii,-' W.Du ko Sons &Co. y . EVTHEAIIEFBCW TOBACCO Cfl.f 'if VaZA DURHAM. N.C. U.S.A. J MADE mOM High Srade Tobacco ABSOLUTELY PURE J GOOD GOVERNMENT CLUBS. Within a few years past a general feeling of discontent with the wide spread corruption of the elective fran chise and a feeling of apprehension that if this practice is allowed to pre vail much longer or to grow much stronger it will end in the complete domination of local, municipal, "State and Federal governments by the very worst elements in society, which con dition would mean the complete dis truction of all free government. Out of this feeling has grown a movement for the organization of good govern ment clubs. The purposes of these clubs, as set forth in the very plain and simple declarations under which they are framed, are: "1. To excite and maintain a more general interest in public affairs; and to induce the attendance of all good citizens at political meetings and elec tions, Avhether primary or general. "2. To guard and secure freedom, purity and fairness-in elections, and 10 cause to be enforced the penalties of the law against fraud and wrong therein. $ . "All good citizens, regardless of party or faction, who are interested in securing these ends so necessary for the public welfare, are invited to at tend." These objects should meet with the hearty endorsement of every good citi zen without regard to party affiliation. Every good citizen desires good govern ment and every intelligent citizen knows that there can be no good gov ernment when the elections are not perfectly free from every kind and de gree of co ercion from every possible taint of fraud and every suspicion of unfairness. And every man of com mon sense knows that there vrill not be and cannot be either fair, free or pure elections unless the election laws are impartially and rigidly enforced. These jjlubs to be effective must be non-partisan, hence the terms of the call embrace "all good citizens, regard less of party or faction, who are interested ' in securing these ends," They are not to be Democratic clubs, or Republican or Populist, but good government clubs, which do not re quire any man to abate one jot or tittle of honest zeal for his own party or to change his political affiliations or prin ciples by the slightest degree, but they do require that every man shall do all in his power to secur the enactment of good, wholesome and wise election laws and to uphold these laws and see to it that they are rigidly and impar tially enforced. It goes without saying that these good government clubs are designed also to secure the election of capable and honest men to all offices from the highest to the lowest. "Whether these officers shall be Democrats or Republicans is a matter of no concern with good government clubs but it is a matter of the most vital concern that they shall be men of intelligence, of integrity and of business "capacity adequate to the performance of their several offices and moreover that -they shall be men of courage and firmness of purposeJwho will administer and enforce the laws regardless of individ uals or of parties. Such clubs have been organized in many cities and have accomplished very much good. Thus says the able Knoxville Tribune. It Vehooves tho rand old Democratic part' to organize itself into a great "Good Govern- .a. - m.m V w v v VA ent CluV at once.

Fair and pleasant for today. It is stated that the Merimac Mills of Lowell, Mass., have de cided to establish a branch cotton mill at some place in the South for the manufacture of the plainer cotton goods. Th Merimac is one of the largest Mills in the United States. It i the third one of the largest mills in the North to dejeide upon this course. It has produced a sensation, and is likely to create a stampede of the cotton mills of the North for the South. In the language of a good old Methodist hymn they may now well sing the tune, ' This is the way I long have sought: And mourned because I found it not." Let them come, there are vacant lots for salo and the water falls are for sale. These mill owners no doubt saw the recent statements of tho earn ings of the mill at Augusta, Ga., and other points. There is room here at Hickory for three or four. We can discover no grounds whatever, at present, upon which the Democratic party can ask us to support their candidate for President in 189G.
