Watson and Weaver are around again. How sadlj they must miss old gal Lease ! Pin your faith to G rover Cleve land. He's old all right. Stop looking scared and talking disaster. The Republicans long since came to the conclusion that parting with the offices is not "such sweet sor row. We have discoyered fourteen ducks within the last ten days who knows more about the newspaper business than we do. No man who claims to be a true Democrat tcan afford to encourage Third party pic nics under the guise of Alliance by attending them. The message of Grover Cleveland carries light and hope to all classes of business, and is a pointed docu ment m the interest of the whole people. Tom Settle admits in his testimo ny that he was a party to swind ling Baldy Williams out of his elec tion ? We wonder what Ex-Go v. Holt and Ex-Attorney General Davidson thinks of Tommy now ? The Thirdites have the gall to meet and pass resolutions "to our Representatives in Congress" asking them to vote for free coinage, when they did everything to defeat them by combining with the Republicans. If the leaders of the Democratic party will look directly to the or ganization of the party and those who stood squarely in front of the enemy battling for good govern ment instead of trying to curry favor with malcontends all will be well. Sockless Jerry is every day be coming more of a crank, and is full of political predictions. Wo wish that he and Mrs. Lease, and a lew score more of similar cranks, had "some sweet little isle of their own1' where they could be set apart to work out their theories and nurse their political bantlings. An ex-Union soldier is drawing a pension for a bald head. It would be well for the Thirdites to pension a few of their apostles as they are disabled for want of wind and can no longer howl the Democrats ruin ed the country. Weaver said in his speech, at Lilesville the Republicans did the work. It is quite amusing to hear the Thirdites say "Vance is with us" when they bolted the same platform he stands on and Elias Carr went before the people on, and bolted the nomination and put up "Bully" Pat Exum. You renegades "Where are you at any how ?" Come off and chew your Republican cud ! Listen out, Democrats, if the rep resentatives of our great party fulfil their pledges to the people through the Chicago platform, give us free silver you will see the calamity how lers swell up and strut, exclaiming "We did it ! We did it ! !" when they have only seven howlers in Con gress. How we apples swim. ROVER'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS. We fully agree with the Rich mond Dispatch in its comments on the Presidents message. It says: The President said in his call for the extra session that but one great evil threatened this country now namely, its financial condi tion. In his message he empha size that averment, and orders the tariff question to the rear. He treats the tariff reformers kindly, however, and says the tariff must be revised in the near future. We have said more than once that if the President permitted the tariff question to rank with the currency question in im portance,many members of Congress would be only too glad to take up the former and let the latter alone. Nor does the President recommend the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on the notes of the State banks. He lets "expressive silence" tell what he thinks of that notable scheme. So as to paternal government. In stead of saying that the government must do nothing but rule he says that the laboring people are enti tled to "the most watchful care of their government," and to the best and safest currenc not "homing currency." The President urges Congress to take prompt action. He would have the Sherman law repealed forthwith. He loses sight nowhere of the ob ject which he had in view when he convened Congress in extra session. His message is an admirable docu ment, and if it fails to accomplish the purpose for which it was inten ded no one can deny that he did his part of the work well. We want it to do its work well and give relief to the country. LOST HIS SPEE.li. C. W. Macune was once the Grand Mogul of the Third party. His was once a name to conjure by, but it has lost its spell, and among the Third partyites it now stands as the sum of all the villainies. Hear how his late worshippers, who once swore by the National Economist, of which he was editor, now speak of their late leader: "He is said to be rich; possibly he is, but every dollar of his wealth is the price of blood. Every dollar of his gain is a fit companion of the "thirty pieces of silver" of the scrip tures, and will be an abiding curse to him and his, if the judgments of God count for anything. If "Ven geance is Mine, saith the Lord," is not an idle declaration, the path of this man who has bargained the sweat and toil of labor, who has sold the tears and groans of the op pressed, who has coined to his pro fit the confidence, benediction and prayers of his trusting followers, will be strewn thickly with trials, disappointments and sorrow, until in the anguish of bitter remorse he will exclaim as did one of old, "My punishment is more than I can bear." Some of the Thirdites in this county, leading ones, almost stopped their business to canvass for the Economist, but now, cease to read it. The paper give them all the in formation they now stand around and discuss. The Thirdites Re publicans are an ungrateful set, to go back on McCune. We haye confidence that needed legislation will be prompt, conser vative and satisfactory. The condi tion of the country calls for it and its betterment is subject to it. We believe the representatives of the people appreciate the occasion for readily falling into line on some policy that will make times better. Buckingham's Dye for the Whiskers is the best, handiest, safest, surest, cleanest, most economical and satisfactory dye ever invented. It is the gentlemen's favorite.

Representative Grady, of the third North Carolina district, has suffered sorely in his experience with the postoffice department. His one ob ject has been to procure the removal of a negro postmaster at Fayette ville. The democrats of the dis trict insisted upon the summary re moval of the "nigger." Brother Grady is a consistent member of the church and a patient worker. He spent weeks in Washington, as said, "neglecting his private busi ness" endeavoring to get the ob jectionable "nigger" out of the Fajetteville postoffice. He grew thin and melancholly over his con tinued disappointment. Finally one day, after having tried various expedients, he climbed the steps to the office of a news paper correspondent. In dejected tones he repeated his experience with the postmaster general, and added, "Now I've come to get the newspapers to help me. If you'll do it, you'll help all the other demo crats, too. I want you to get all these d d republican postmasters to resign." An oath is a stranger to Brother Grady's lips, but the vivid recollec tion of his experience overcome him, and nothing short of profanity would express his feelings. The trouble with Brother Grady's case was the same that confronted many other Democratic Congress men in procuring removals of re publicans. He could not prevail upon the Democrats of Fayetteville to agree upon a successor to the "nigger." Instead of uniting upon an accep table Democrat, they divided into factions, each insisting upon its own man. The postmaster-general as sured Mr., Grady more than once that whenever he would submit the name of a good Democrat, accep table to the people of Fayetteville, the negro would be removed and the popular choice appointed. Wash ington Correspondent. BIRDS OF A FEATHER. The Carolinian says: And so it is not Loge Harris, after all, who has been writing the "Jonathan Ed wards" letters in the Caucasian. Harris is an avowed Republican, open and bold in his statements. Butler needs nobody of this kind in his business. Harris is not mean enough for him. So he gets a man who was, during the last campaign, a spy sent out by the chairman of the National Republican Executive Committee. He came pretended to be a Democrat in the , confidence of Mr. Harrity, but his object was to gain all the knowledge possible of the Democrats in North Carolina, try to dissatisfy the white people and fan into a flame the class . pre judice already kindled among them; to inspire the colored people with a deeper race prejudice and incite them to deeds of violence, And this is the man that Mr. Butler now employs to discuss pub lic affairs for his readers and keep them informed of the doings of Congress and the administration in Washington. Whatever is mean, whatever is evil, whatever is cowardly, what ever is of ill-repute and calculated to create distrust and prejudice, that does the Caucasian seek, and surely it has found the consummation of all these in "Jonathan Edwards." Is such a man fit to be trusted and followed by the honest, truth loving yeomanry of North Carolina? God forbid that they should ever fall so low.

Richmond Dispatch says: The Populists claim for their party the name of "the People's party. "TheT call it so because it is not the peo ple's part'. There's nothing in a party's name. The Know-Nothings of 1854 called - themselves "the American party." The crazy anti slavery fanatics stole the name "Republican" the name of Mr. Jefferson's party and have for thirty years been known as Republicans, though their whole theory of the nature of our Federal system and the relative J powers of the State governments and the Federal government is in conflict with the teachings of the great sage of Monticello. The Populists' State Convention of this week consisted largely of unknown men, or of men who, to use a common but expressive phrase have "failed to get there." The are good citizens but poor politicians. They are belated have "got left" are wandering in the wilderness. We will not add that they are sight ing for the flesh-pots of Egypt. Of course there are men among them who deserve to be lvcoguiod as "good men and true." To thise we shall address ourselves in speaking of the Lynchburg platform. It does not seem to us that the Popu lists come before the people of Vir ginia under favorable circumstances. Tt strikes us rather that they are foredoomed to defeat. MATTER OF BUSINESS OT POLI TICS. New York Herald says: Secretary Gresham is reported as saying that he does not think Congress will waste any time on the financial situation. "The business men of the country," he added, "will not permit the politicians to make capi tal out of their misfortunes? The problem will be settled in a busi nesslike way because Democratic and Republican business men alike de mand that it shall be settled in that way." That is sound sense, and it is to be hoped it will give good prophecj'. The repeal of the Sherman law is not a matter of politics, but busi ness. RepnbliGau and Democratic Congressmen will join hands in vot ing for it, just as Republican and Democratic business men have unit ed in demanding it. Nor is it a matter for protracted debate. The people have decided the question and it only remains for Congress to carry out their will. No time should be wasted in doing this.
