Is fusion dead ? No, aiid it is the duty of Democrats all along the line to pull themselves together and commence the battle for 1896. An exchange aptly remarks : Let the newspaper stand by the town and let the business men stand by the newspaper, and let us make our home as famous as possible. Let not vain man get too gay over the report that comes from Paris that there will be a reduction in the size of ladies sleeves. The swelling w ill simply break out in a new place. Shavings are coming into demand f jr bed and mattress filling, and the Wisconsin planing ( mills have struck a bonansa in packing them like hay and sending them all over the country. Although the mongrels have cap tured North Carolina, the great heart of Democracy beats true just the same to its principles and stand riady to battle against demagogues and negro rule a, i i. The Oxford Tobacco Market can not be excelled on high averages on all grades of the weed. Our buyers are first-class and hold large orders, and our warehousemen are reliable, engergetic, and take pride in mak ing tobacco fetch the cream of the market. Prof. Logan Howell, principal of Goldsboro Graded School, and Dr C. E. Taylor, President of Wake Purest College, had a controversy about State aid to the University. Mr. Howell charged Dr. Taylor with having received free tuition at the University of Virginia. This Dr. Taylor and the Bibiical Recorder de nied. Prof. Howell then wrote to the secretary of the University of Virginia who confirmed his state ment. Two of the scoundrels who have raised sums of money in the United States under pretense of prosecuting the claims of alleged American heirs to estates in England have been awarded a small portion of the pun ishment they deserve in a sentence to twenty mouths1 imprisonment at hard labor by a London Court, the Judge remarking as he passed sen tence that they had been engaged in about as vile a conspiracy as man could concoct. The fusion majority in North Carolina is 20,841, as given out by the State Board of canvassers, and Chief Justice Faircloth's vote is 145,997, while Chief Justice Shep herd's vote was 126,447. It shows that fusion did not fuse says the Charlotte Times. In 1892 the vote cast by the Republicans and Popu lists were respectively 100,342 and 44,736, making a total vote of 145, 078. The f usionists polled iust 919 votes more than this, which is not jsuch a tremendous gain after all. A Vermont judge has decided that when a girl who has taken an en gagement ring from a man kicks him she must return the ring or come to the scratch and nurry him. He holds that no woman has a right to ring a confiding man in in that way, give him the grand bounce and retain the plunder. Some people are finding fault with Cleveland because he did not say something about the election in his message to Congress. We do not blame him as he did more to bring about the result than all the other combine forces in the Democratic party. Mugwumps wiill defeat the party every time it antagnizes the gold bugs interest. Better times will come says the Mecklenburg Times. Improvements may be slow, but it must come at last. Every man ought to do his utmost to hasten its coming. Work for prosperity. Work for home and native State. We have always felt the deepest sympathy for the poor and oppressed among our people. We have no dearer hope or aspira tion in life than to be instrumental in removing this opposition and up lifting the toiling masses of our peo ple. Now that hope of doing this by legislation is temporarily cut off we must look in other directions. The Democratic party, says the Gastonia Gazette, has given the State good, even the best govern ment, Can the dominant element govern it as well ? Can it govern the State at all ? We shall see. A dog once chased a train. He showed his teeth, and barked, and clawed the earth and kept up well for a long distance. In fact he came very nearcatching the train. Other passengers were amused at the chase but one took it more seriously. When asked why he was so solemn, he answered that he was much trou bled in wondering what the dog would do with the train if he caught it. Well, the "incapables" have got the State. What will they do with it ? The future is full of interest. Let it develop. A CHEERFUL VIEW. The South is really better off than the Middle States or the great West has actually suffered less. Manu facturing interests are on the up ward grade. The indications for farther developments are propitious and hopeful. North Carolina is as well off as any Southern State. Peo ple who travel in other States to the South of us say that our State is much better off than some others, says the Wilmington Messenger. Let us all try to take as cheerful a view of the situation as possible. Let us cultivate a more hopeful spirit. Let us strive to keep up heart and hope, and cease to preach the coming of disaster and tribulation. The future may have in store many blessings not now visible. Let us alljtry to help each other in the struggle for life, and do for North Carolina all that in us lies. As to North Carolina this may be said : of all the States it has possi bly the best climate. It has great resources, and offers many and ex traordinary advantages to capitalists and home seekers. It has been in the very van in the race of progress for some years. It has to-day more factories than any other Southern State. It makes the finest tobacco grown on the continent, and has lands that will make a bale of cot ton to the acre. 'If the party to be in power in January the combina tion have any wisdom, any patriot ism, any understanding of the real situation, any knowledge of what North Carolina really needs to help her on in the ways of development and prosperity, and concern for their own personal welfare, and the wel fare of their own supporters, they will not enter upon a revolutionary, wildcat course that will paralyze all industries, drive away all capital and cause the people to curse them and the hour they were born. A broadly patriotic, conservative, judicious line of action can help the State's history, can give confidence and hope. But a radical, ultra, rev olutionary movement an assault upon tried institutions, a smite on education, an increase of taxation, a crippling of the benevolent, humane asylums these and other things will have a most deadening effect and put back the State ten years. POPULISH I IS ANARCHY. It is only a few days since, says Philadelphia Times, in reviewing Populist power in several of the Western States where that party have gained control of the Execu tive and Legislative department of the government, we demonstrated that Populism was anarchy. There has been no instance of the control of a State Government by Populists that has not resulted in general law lessness, universal disturbance of values, interruption of business tran quility, the impairment and destruc tion of credit, and the dissemination of lawlessness amongst the people. We have now another pointed A. J. lustration of the fact that Populism is anarchy in the record made by pretender Kolb, of Alabama, who al though beaten by 20,000 majority in his second contest for Governor of the State, has taken the oath of office as Chief Magistrate before a Justice of the Peace, and from his home at at Birmingham has delivered his pretended message to the Legisla ture. Had he simply claimed that he was Governor of the State, and that he was battling for his rights as the choice of the people for the Executive office, none could have complained of his efforts to win office for himself; but he not only assumes to be Governor of the State but in his pretended message he pro claims lawlessness throughout the Commonwealth, and urges positive disrespect of law by the sworn offi cials of the State. He publicly advises those who levy and collect the taxes of the State to refuse to perform their offices, and thus bankrupt the Treasury and bring the whole government of the Commonwealth into anarchy. As a majority of the counties of the State have Populist local officers, in cluding tax collectors, he hoped by his appeal to them to plunge the State into utter lawlessness and de stroy its credit, as has been done by Populist Goyernors in Kansas, Colo rado and other Western States. Fortunately the Legislsture of" Alabama is not controlled by the Populists in either branch, and a stringent law has already passed the Senate, and will doubtless pass promptly the popular branch, im posing the severest penalty for the very offenses that Kolb advises his followers to commit, and if they at tempt to obey his demand by refus ing to collect taxes, every local offi cer who shall be guilty of disregard ing the law and failing to perform his duty, will be promptly and se verely punished. Stripped of all its disguises Populism is simply anarchy and the sooner the people of the country understand it the sooner will they escape the grave perils that threaten them by the growth of Populist sentiment, throughout the land. There is no law that can give any man in this country a dollar without earning it, arid whether it shall be cheap and dishonest, or whether it shall be honest and com mand its value iu dealing with the world, a man must earn his dollar before he can obtain one. Prostituting the currency p id de manding that the government shall furnish a sure Hying for every idler of the land is the logical out growth of Populism, and it means the subversion of law and order, the destruction of values, the overthrow of property interests, and general convulsion in every industrial, com mercial and financial circle. Every honest man of every political faith should set his face against the growth of Populism as he would against pestilence. It means law lessness, destruction and the over throw of every hope of national prosperity. Any one who has children will rejoice with L B. Mulford, of Piainfield, N. J. Hia little boy, five years of age, was sick with croup. For two days and nights he tried various remedies recommended by friends and neighbors. He says: "I thought sure I would lose him. I had seen Chamberlain's Cough Remedy ad vertised and thought I would try it as a last hope and am happy to say that after two doses he slept until morning. I gave it to him next day and a cure was effect ed. I keep this remedy in the house now and as soon as any of my children uhow signs of croup I give it to them and that is the last of it." 25 and 50 rant hAttlaa ; for sale by J. G. Hall, druggist.
