THE CORRECT POLICY FOR THIS YEAR'S CAMPAIGN. Charlotte Observer. Ia the Observer of the 4th of March last appeared an editorial which at tracted considerable ' public attention; which has been mach commented upon by the press aad individuals, and which baa been the subject of soma miscon ception. To demonstrate just what it' said, we reproduce it here entire, In stead of undertaking, as we have once or twice, to state its salient points in a few paragraphs: LET US HAVE A NORTH CAROLINA CAMPAIGN. An editorial In the Wilmington Mes senger -of yesterday concludes with these words.: . "The way to vietory in Nertn Caroli na, as we hold and very sincerely be lieve, does not lie in indorsing Cleve land's many' nominations that were so grievous to all good Democrats, nor in obeying his mandate to wipe out silver, enthrone gold and please the money devil, nor in his policy to Hawaii, or his learnings towards a high protective tariff ia the face of so much writing that seemed to be on Democratic lines, but the way t victory in this State and in the South is to sustain the law of the party, and to make the fight on the Chicago deliverance. In that sign, if any, we shall conquer. No man can lead the Democracy in North Carolina to victory in 1894, Who kicks the Chicago platform from under his feet, stands as the fast friend of the gold t)ugs, leans to a high protective tariff as the outcome to Democratic re vision, opposes an Income tax of all taxes the most just and equal and antagonizes the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on state DanKs; mac u our view, and It may go for what It 13 worth." It i3 not our purpose-to make reply to the foregoing or to any part of it. It brings out very sharply fthe grievances WU1UM aU C1CLUCUL VI bua UCUlUblWilb party ot North Carolina has, or sup poses it has, against the national ad ministration, ana it is aa expression 01 sentiments which we are well aware are widespread throughout the State. We use this extract because it is nearlr a complete statement of the opposition to the President within the party, and because it affords the occasion for the Observer to outline, as it promised some weeks azo to do, what seems to it the proper line of policy for the Dem ocratic party of North Carolina this year. Itisobvioa3 tnat tne party in this State cannot be organized for battle on a line of endorsement of i the Cleveland administration. We think that if the leading Democrats and the newspapers of the state had, tnrougnout the year ending to-day, supported the adminis tration as a settled Democratic poiicv endorsing it aa far as :hey might ar 4 not magnifying . unduly tneir differ ences with It we should not have had the disorganization that exists at pres ent, and at the same time no one 8 In. dependence or self-respect need have suffered; but this Is neither here nor there at th'u time, and we mention the matter now, not to criticise aor to up braid any ne, but merely by the way. The fact with which we have to deal is that, the Demoracy of the State la not united in support of the President an eadorsement of him could not probably. be secured from a state convention But while this isth case, he has many and strong adherents in North Carolina who would not suffer a con ve at ton to repudiate him if they could help It. This' being tne relation of tne party n tne state toward tne neaa oi tne Dart v. and bis administration at Washs ineton-some opposing bim violently, some endorsing turn quaunedly and others unreservedly what then ? This: Let as take care of North Car olina, Mr. Cleveland la perhaps serv- ins: his last term. We cannot believe the statement which every now and then becomes current, that he is trim mlnz his sails for the nomination again in '96. He will retire permanently from the presidential chair and from public life in 1897, and we can there fore. exercU no practical influence over his future. Why, then, quarrel ovor him? Let us make this a North Caroliaa campaign, it is to be sucn, in iacc. it is true that memoers ot congress are to be elected, but what Is of Infinitely mare consequence, a Legislature is to be elected; a namber of judges of both the Supreme and Superior Court are to be eleeted; county officers are to be elected; and In .the Legislature the magistrates and school commis&ioners of the State are Involved. It Is to be aa election which will reach right down to the heme governments of the people government In their counties. Tne public officers at the court house, the only vfOcera with whom the masses of the Debole have mucb dealing, are to be chosen, and over and above all the matter of the administration of Justice from the bench Is involved. These are the people and the things that affect the great public most aearly In govern ment: and it is uron these that we seed to rivet their attention. The Democratic party needs to nominate its very best me a for the bench, for the Legislature and for the county officer. That done, it can go confidently to the people upon the characters and capaci ty of Its nominees aaa upon it reoora In the administration of the govern- ment ef North Carolina tor twenty years. It has beenj faithful to their Inttreste; they will not be untrue to It. The candidates for Congress can take care of themselves and the nation al party upon '.national questions members of the Legislature judges and county officers are not called npoa to rie&l with these. . Let as noamlnate men fnr -Chnrress withi reference to their sympathy with the; national platform and with reference to their characters, ability and general acceptabUUj to the people and without reference to whether or not they have been nnan thorizedlj branded aa administration or anti-administration men. We would keep Mr. Cleveland's personality oat ef the congressional campaign, as pro perly having no place Injt, and would keep the senatorial succession out of it as a matter not to be wrangled over and to cause further division la the campaign but to be decided among our selves when it can only be decided by as, to wit: after we have carried the State. Te inject this issue int.-) tha campaign will only be to tome nt strife and, possibly, result in the loss of the 8tate. -The Observer and the Messenger are, unfortunately, not agreed as to some of the policies of the Presldeat. It Is not, however, the interest of either ot us, of the public er of the Democratic- party that we should quarrel about him; and we said, some weeks ago, that there was a Hue of policy we and eur Wil mlngton friend and all other North Carolina Democrats could h site upon for the pending campaign, and that we would outline it in due time, we had iu mind the policy -suggested in the foregoing. Our friend of the Messen ger has, however, anticipated us, for so far back as the 24th of February he wrote as follows: j "Let the Democrats in North jCarolU na begia to organize for the battle ahead. If they are to win this year, they must lock shields and keep step to the music of harmony and sound principles. Although it is called an "off-year," it is an important year for North Carolina. In our judgment, re membering the bitter past, it is of more importance to all North Carolinians, whether natives or by adoption, to have control of the State in all of its depart ments, than to have control of the presidential chair and all that concerns it. North Carolina may get along well and even be prosperous under vicious rule In the executive department, as has been the case when the President might happen, to be a Harrison, but it cannot possibly prosper with bad laws at home and a ravening crowd of of flcials in the chief offices of the State. It is all Important then that the De mocracy should have control In North Carolina that they shall control the legislature, the executive chair, the other State offices, and the judiciary, and in the counties. So, then, we rake it that we are al ready agreed. And not alone these two papers of the shoe-string district, bat also the Lumb?rton Robesonlan, which, in its Issue for February 2lst, said In discussing the recently issued report of the State Auditor: It will be recalled that In 1891, we think It was, Hon. Klias Carr, '.thea president of the State Alliance, called the attention of that body to the fact that their quarrel was not with the State government, which had always been mindful of their interests. Now Mr. Furman shews that fact in a way that cannot but be convincing. He shows that of the entire tax levy, $1, 395,895, the farmers pay only $550,000. He also shows the great economy that Is practiced, especially In the executive and. judicial departments.- He also states that North Carolina has the lew est tax rate of any State in the Union, For these reason It ought not to be difficult this year for the Democratic party to carry the election In the State, for the reason that national politics need not come lato it. We copied yesterday from the Stanly News aa editorial paragraph which touched upon the prime importance of the North Carolina Democracy taking care of the State. The Raleigh Ntw3 and three or feur other papers have re cently written to the same eSect. The Indications from the press ef the State are that public 'opinion is, of its own good tense, crystalling upon the idea that this must be a North Carolina campaign. Let us make It bo; let us keep outside individuals and issues out of it and we shall do what is, of the very highest importance that we should . do : we will save the State.

Its object was the promotion of harmony in the Dem ocratic party and it will stand the test ef reason. We were not on the 4th of March nor or we now considering the facts as we would have them but as we. flad them- We repeat that there is much antagonism in the Democratic party of North Carolina toward Mr. Cleveland and his administration.. In a conversation within the past three weeks with a pure and able lawyer who has often been mentioned for judge and for Cengre-s In this judicial and congressional district, and who is mentioned for Congress this year a gentleman who stands four square to all winds, an "original Cleveland man'' and one who has not the smell of Pop ulism upon his garments, he laid down the proposition that the salvation of the Democracy of North Carolina this year lies in "cussing Cleveland," and said that if he went on the stump this year that is what be would do. Such men as these and such a state of feel ing in the party as this declaration be tray? ate to be reckoned with, and It is fer the safe middle ground that the Ob server is seeking. We repeat that it "is obvious that the part in this Stite cannot be organized for battle on a line of endorsement of the Cleveland administration;" we repeat again, that if the leading Democrats and the newspapers ot the State had through out the year supported the admin istration as a settled Democratic policy we should not have had the disor ganization that exists at present;" and yet again, that "an endorsement of the President could not, probably, he se cured from a State convention, but that while this is the case, he has many and strong adherents in JNonn uaronna who would net saner a convention to repudiate him if they could .help .it. What then ? The Missouri convention. has set some sort of an example by en dorsing certain acts of the administra tion and maintaining silence as to the rest not a bad example, e'ther; and it will stand our campaigners in band this vear to stick close te the national platform and to decline to held, them selves or to allow the pahy to b held responsible lor anybody who is off of it this upotf the idea that no one in it, not even its head. Is greater than it. It will be their duty to bear aiojt tie Dan- ner ot the party, to proclaim its prim doles, and if anyone has been unmind ful of these, so mucn tne wone ior h'm. It has been, represented that the Ob server has said that national questions must ke kept put of the campaign. It can plow deep'bere and shallow there. but it cannot select tne questions u - . . will debate and relegate all others to limbo. !

Latest U. S. Gov't Report. Mm should bt kept out of the canvass, the meaning intended to be conveyed of course was that the differences in the party as to these should not be the oc casion of friction and division Inside the party, the consequence of Demo crats debating publicly their own dis agreements being manifest; But above all, this year when Con gressmen are the onlyuational officers to be elected, and wh r every place in the State is to be filled except the ex emotive chair, the State offices and a few f the judgeships in this year ot a distinctively State election the best results are to be had from magnifying the work of the Democratic party in North Carolina. The people need to 1 be told that however great the! --dissatisfaction on account ot national affairs-and their national grievances nee not to be elarged upon still they can In nowise afford, on account of af fairs at Washington aot having gone their way, to forego the blessings of good government bestowed upon them by the Democratic party at. home. It is not our business to ' put speeches in the mouths of campaign orators but that no on of them who cannot take this line and appeal effectively to the peo ple had better be taken down. The Observer protests that ia all th'u matter it has had no design other than to harmoniza the party. Some persons and papers have gone so far in their declarations of hostility toward, the President that compromise gtound mut be foun3 or division will result either that or great embarrassment will follow In the eating of words. So far as this paper is concerned the em barrassments of the situation .are very slight. It could come as near support ing an endorsement of the aimisiUtra" tion as any paper in the State, with one or two exceptions, and it would be one of those to resist very heartily any attempt of a part of the State Democ racy to repudiate the President. But as wise me a it does not behoove any ef us to be too tenacious this year of oar individual opinions but to come to gether In a spirit of compromise &ud In our platform, -conventions and public discussions leave each other ground to stand upon. Individually we should be glad to see the resolutions of the Alabama Democracy adopted in North Carolina but that cannot be without causing the very embarrassments that it is so desirable to avoid, and it occurs to us that the next best thing will be a qualified endorsement, a campaign of qualified endorsement, and a cam paign which will impress upon the peo ple that their dearest Interests are de pendent apon the perpetuation of the Democratic party in power in North Carina and that after all this Is pri marily a State election.

The city was crowd-, ed with visitors from other points in Virginia and Southern States, the nam ber being conservatively estimated at 25.000. The Maryhnd delegation of veterans, beaded by Geu. Bradley T. Johnson, was large and Imposing. That from Washington City was also con spicuous in toe parade, a aieg. ion from Charleston carried oranciie-i of palmetto in their hands. North Carolina was represented oy Adjutant uenerai Cameron and several companies of the State Guard and South Carolina by several companies of State troop?. The Virginia volunteers made a remarkably fine showing. No mishap save that for which the weather clerk is responsible, occurred ro mar the pleasure of the occasion. Tonight camp ares and so- cial reunions are the order, and, the city is alive with . the strains ef music from military hands serenaaing nere and there. I Busloess was almost entirely sus pended during the day, the bank., ex changes, and State and municipal ef- nces being closed, almost witnout ex ceuuon. The houses on tne line oi the march were profusely aecoratea, many with the Confederate and Vir rfnia colors, so that the parade was through lanes of bunting. "Old Glory was by no means .absent, however, being often intertwined with the other colors and flying from almost every flag-staff. - At the monument the programme was carried out as arranged. . ar. u. C. Richardson, President of the Monu ment Association, filled the post oi chairman with ability and modesty; there was a prayer by Rev. Dr. Hoge; Mr. 'a. C. Gordon read his poem writ ten for the occialen, and the Rev. Mr Cave, of St. Louis, then made the ad dress ot the day. On the conclusion ox the address the veil was withdrawn by a little boy and a little girl, represent ing respectively the army and the navy, and there was a saiute oy artuiery ana infantry, lasting . some minutes and waking the echos ot t5 James as of yore.

Breckinridge stands as an ex ample of a certain class of politicians who act noon the theory that when a man is elected to an office he gains a vested right, which the people should recognize in future contests, Tbey hold, practically, that It is for the In cumbent to say how long he shall 're tain a position, and that his claims in that respect are superior to' those of anybody else. The (voters of Col. Breckinridge's district are asaeai to give him another term in Congress be cause they haye already given bim several terms, tne implication being that the title thus secured to the bflce is sufficient to warrant a decision In his favor, notwithstanding the miserable scandal with which his name is so la famously associated. If he were hot now holding the place, he would hard ly venture to try for It, and surely the pie would not think of preferring him over other and more reputable candi dates. It cemes to this, then, that be is seeking a re-election! on the ground that the office belongs to him because ot a vote of respect and . confidence previously obtained under false pre tenses, the people then believing bim to be a decent and worthy . man when In fact he waa a glittering fraud, buch Is the logic ot his candidacy, the arnt of the argument that be employs to In duce his constituents to disgrace them selves and their State by indorsing bis shameful record ot hypocrisy and de bauchery. 1 ! It is te be hoped, in tne interest oi public honof and propriety,, that the people of the Ashland district will not permit themselves to be deceived ; by this sort of sophistry. If CoL Breckin ridge ever had any claims "upon them, he has none now, by reason oi i nis monstrous personal' conduct while be was In their service. The office does not belong to him In any sense. No offl -m belongs to any man in this coun try beyond the time tor wnion ne may haye been etectedi and, above aij, a man like Breckinridge has no claim-In such a relation. It is unreasonable for bim to talk about what be has deee for his nartv. as if that entitled bim tO in dulgence anJ vindication where the measure of bis guilt in an unofficial eaoacitr is so well known and so tbor onghly dltgracefoL There Is, no role of politics: obligation or practice ! thai rea aires, or that will itutuy or exeuse the casting of a vote! tor a man who, by his own confession, has pursued a course ot private corruption which is latterly irreconcilable with the Idea oi a . m a W onbllc respectability ana user a mess, id any ease, the people have a right to pot an officer aside at the eaa ox n term for any reason, or merely for the pur Dese of making a changee ana an instance like the present one,' that right becomes a duty which no good citizen can afford to disregard.

John Adams, of Qaincy, who, during the last year of his presidency, said: '-I am weary, worn aaa disgusted to death, I had rather chop wood, dig ditches, make fences upon ray poor, little farm. Alas! poor. farm, and poorer family, what have you lost that your country might be free!' 3. Jefferson, farmer, philosopher and statesman, from Montloello. 4. Madi son, farmer and lawyer, ef Montpeller, Va. 5. Monroe, farmer, from Oak HllL Va. .1 6. John Quincy Adams, from the Qulcy farm ot 100 acres, near Boston. ('It is said that moat ot the trees were raised by John Quiney Adams, from the serds whieh he was in the habit of picking np in his wandering.

Oiilo. 10. Tyler, of Sherwood Forest Farm, Virginia, where he subsequently died. 11. James K. Polk, of Duck River, Tennessee, also came from the farm to the presidency. inn selection of rTeaidents from rural homes from among the farms of the country -illustrates the fact that In those days there was no profession or calling which held a more exalted postlon in public estimation than that of agriculture. A JOSHUA NEEDED. Biblical Recorder. The world is now In greater need of a Joshua than the children ot Israel were In the days ot their direst tribula tion. Wildernesses of business, money, politics, society, and kindred things tainted with sin are round about every place where human being are. Wor shipers of j the golden calf have In creased ever since the serpent was lowered, notwithstanding that a man and a God was raised tor iln-etung men more thanj eighteen and a half cen turies ago. I Most of the civilized half ot the world is said to be Christian; yet no one will contend that one man In ten is Christiike. We acknowledge Christ with every breath: we cannot date a letter without certifying to his . birth. Our public assemblies are usual ly opened with prayer for God's gui dance; yet many ot those prayers, If we may express our opinion, are of no more avail than were those which used to ascend to Jove; they lack just what was characteristic of the ancient pagan supplication faith; the two are similar In that they are high-sounding and self -imbued, and in that they are forms or dained by custom. Moreover, present day public assemblies are not disposed to follow God's guidance, after they have secured it, for they have it al ways. The world must believe what It pre tends to believe, and must live what it believes, if it would become Christian; for Christianity is dot merely a name: it is a life acknowledged by all men to have been the best of liyes,often lauded butseldom imitated. That is what the world needs; that life would bring us all things good, not only in the future, but now. Men need a leader a Moses by day, a ; luminous- cloud by n'gbt some one Who is powerful and authori tative, and in whom they can trust; and such a one is Christ. We are divided, one crying this, another that, all crying for something; each laying burden upon the other, all seeking the removal of those burdens by wrong means, save those few who know the Burden-bearer. We shall always have money and busi ness and politics and social abnormities and sin; but all except the latter may be elvated nlga into purity, and the latter may be reduced to a minion una. The world can get better, albeit we are of the earth earthy; . and it must get better, not! by a general Information such at other centuries. have wltne&sed. but humble individual efforts on the part of each one, who would have it . better, to better one's pelf, regardless of what' others do, who would not be bettered.

The many, who live bet ter than others and enjoy life more, with 'm expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world's beat products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in ' the romnHr. fivrnD of Fin.
