Grover Cleveland the President of the United States has written a letter to a committee of citizens of Chicago who had invited him to come there and let them give him a public reception on.tlie theme of gold and for a. single standard. Ho declines to accept. But he takes occasion to animad xert and ' descant upon "Sound" money, and "honest" money. He makes of himself the most blatant monopopolistic gold mon ey changer of any Jew whom Christ drove out of the Temple of Jerusalem or who have infested their sordid ism upon the most gnile?s Gentile peoples who ever lived since Christondom began. Cleveland talks of '-sound" mon ey as if there were some people in this great Nation who favored some other money some "un sound" money. His statement is false to begin with, that there are ,any great portion of the people .or any one asking for them, that the United States proceed to sil ver monometalism. It is a phan tasy: A saare. It is used in the sense he uses it for the purpose of scaring and deceiving the peo ple. Yes, deceiving them. He knows it. Not satisfied with des-troying-the Democratic party he now seems to be fully bent on the finial destruction of the currency of the Nation. He pleads hard for the gold bug cause under the guise of "sound" money. But forgets that this Nation was rear ed in the cradlo of two metals, gold and silver, as the basis for our money and that the people prospered under it as' no peoples in any Nation in all the History of all the world ever prospered before. f. Cleveland's monometa lism threat and scarce is a snare and a fraud. There is not a w.ord i i 'l mi i oi irutn in n. xnereis not a sane man in the United States in favor of "silver monometalism." There are those in favor of ."gold mono metalism and Cleveland is at the head and front of them and he is everlastingly damned with his party and the people. Accursed be to him. We draw the solemn circle of the people of free Amer ica and dare him not trench his foot an inch farther inside. We call special attention to the article in this issue of the Press and Carolinian about the advance in the price of beef in the North and consequently the advance in the price of every thing else. Let the goldites and single stand ard unsound money advocates howl and yell. It is good prices and activity in trade that makes every thing hum. Shut off a whole cotton crop for two years. Then "jailer caliker" would go to ten cents a yard and cotton to 12 J cents a pound. Half a crop would pay back the two years loss and moro besides. We may all bo happy 4,yit." It is stated that the Adminis tration will not interfere in any way with the policy of Yico Presi dent Stevenson in his State, Illi nois; as it would be discourteous. Hois for free coinage of silver. His competitor among the Demo crats and a strong candidate for the Democratic nomination as the party's candidate for President, is Hon. Wm. B. Morrison. Illi nois will more than likely get a place on the Democratic ticket. oup city HI ECTION' It seems from what Maj. Dowd, of Charlotte, ays, the municipal election laws of the State enacted iu 1883 and since that time, were all repealed by the last General Assembly in enacting its General Election law, and that no provi sions for holding municipal elec tions was euacted instead. Mnj. Dowd says: In the Char lotte Observer: "Section 1 of the new election law repeals chapter 16 of the Code, and 'all laws relating to elections since the Code' of 1S3. Thus all State laws for elections are repeal ed.and paragraph 2 is still broader. It repeals all laics charters and everything else relating to dec tlons since the Code of 1883., The language is as broad as the Eng lish language itself 'all laws which relate to eleetions' passed since the Code was adopted in 1883. This, of course, includes municipal election laws." As far as the matter relates to Hickory It is riot operative, be cause in enacting the Dispensary law for Hickory at its last session the General Assembly included a provision for the holding: of the Dispensary election on the same day, the "first Mamlay in May," with the city election.. Thus re cognizing that the previously en acted repealing law was not meant to be and did not apply to Hick ory. Any way, there will be held in Hickory a municipal election on the 6th of May. It' has been ordered and Judges appointed by the present Mayor and Board of Aldermen; and one of these would be the only ones who could con test the legality of an election. How they could proceed in Court to annul the validity of their own act would be a ' curious question. That is to say, a candidate for Mayor or Alderman who was de feated of election would be the only one who could maintain a suit on the question and it would be an easy mattter to demur to one who was defeated who order ed the election. There would al so be very cold comfort to one" who attempted to annul the elec tion just because they were de feated as Mayor or Alderman. The article of Genl. James H. Lane, about the scene in Macon, Ga.. upon tho occasion of Presi dent Jefferson Davis visit there in 1887, in which he states that Col. Thomas Hardeman, as well as Mr. Davis is dead, induces us to add with his article at this time that the gallant Genl. Thomas re ferred to is also dead. Genl. Lane himself is one among the few survivors of those leaders of the past. The home of Col. Wm. B. Johnston referred to (who is also dead) is indeed magnificent. There we spent many a pleasant hour back in the seventies. Genl. Lane's article which we publish by request, also reminds us of the last time we talked with Mr. Davis. It was a balmy afternoon in 1872 or 1873 we met Genl. Wm. M. Browne on the street in New Orleans and after greetings fcc, he remarked; "The old man is up at the City Hotel. Would'nt you like to go up and see him?" We replied, nothing would a ford us greater pleasure. We went up and met Jefferson Davis for tho first time after the war terminated and f orthe last time. The conversation was. lengthy, agreeable and very pleasant. It made an impression - on account of his advice and what he said he hoped the young, men of the Confederacy would do ' for the good of the re-united great coun try. Genl. Lane is very fond of his old State, North Carolina. - The C per cent interest law went into effect in this Stato last Sat urday, 13th. i OlilliTTI rrxrc L11LJ T-S tVV THEAXERTC M TOBACCO C2.' t .V r, IV.DukrsSoiw fcCaTT" - DURHAM, fLC US. A. MADE FROM L Ann All Americans are yankees. All yankees are alwajTs spoiling for a fight. We are in the boat. We want to whip Englaud until she cauVsqueal, so bad that we itch all over in big spots. Another thing: Wo want to require Spain to turn loose of Cuba. The whole people of this coun cry have a 'natural antipathy to England aud her domineering. They also feel the same way in regard to Spain about Cuba. These two things are the ones which invariably turns tho hearts of Americans to the statesman ship of every leading statesman from the State of Main during the last thirty years Whether they do any fighting thy do the risrht kind of talking. . . ' The U, S. Supreme Court has another case before it involving a decission on the Constitutional ity of the Income Tax. Another one after this one by disgrunt led pettyfoggers and those who are Constitutionally or unconsti tutionally opposed to 'paying tax es to the government like other people for their, protection and the law or unlaw will, be wiped out without the formality of a square out decission that it is un constitutional. Such is sich and sich is such. All you have to do is to get a case before the Su preme Court often enough. Whenever Supreme Courts, either State or Federal, tinker with Statute laws in making de cissions upon them, so that their validity or invalidity can be con strued differently from the origi nal context and subject matter, as well as their effect and conse quences, it is a good time to pack the box as well as the jury and bring the proper discredit to bear on the luminous head lights who shine like brass figure heads as chairmen of the Judiciary Com mittees of the Legislatures ' and in the Congress. Bill Nye failed to get his letter in time for publication this week and in stead we are furnished by the American Press Association, with Mr. Bowser and the Arizona Kicker by M.-Quad. They will be found good reading if not also in teresting reading. Bead them. Make life pleasant. The Grand Master of the Mason ic Fraternity of Pensylvania de cided last week on a case at hand, that the cremation, of a human body was not a christian burial and therefore Masons could .not officiate at a cremation. This oc curs to us as sound Masonic law in the matter. ' President Andrews of Brown University declares that national free coinage of silver would result in "a tremendous revival of busi ness," money turned loose, facto ries going full capacity and trade of every silver country coming our way." 7 v.- v.-""? v.- -v v.- -;,a MY 2h ff"in n r Illinois and Minnesota and; in fact nearly the whole North West is declaring for silver.
