Ca acting Chairman of the State
reaciti vejwmmUtee, his called a
.mtingtbr-Decrir to decide the
time and place for holding the State
Bepublican Convention.
It ia said that there are 2,000 mem
ber of the Farmers Alliance in
Wake county; and that from infor
mation derived from some of the
more prominent, they are of opinion
that there are. certain economic
questions of far greater imiortance
than mere party. That's good as far
as it goes. .
There sems to be a sort of mutual
admiration society in this State com
posed of the representatives of the
organs who constitute mainly all the
virtue, all the intelligence or all the
wealth of the press gang in this State.
"We 'are glad to note, however, that
the more thoughtful, reliable, and
practical editors do not seem to be
members.
An editor may have the right to
Je heard, but has he. really any right
to abuse the most honored of South
ern men because it will tickle the
.JNorth and win him praise? Wil
mington Star.
Just the same right that a pom
pous, know-all paper of the South
has to denounce the great leaders
and favorites of the North as thieves
and blackguards and liars, on no bet
better evidence and for no better
reasons.
Let high taxes go! They are eat
ing up the substance of the people.
Down with the surplus! Wilming
ton; Stan
That cry is like the order to lock
the stable door after the horse has
been stolen. Wo told the people
six years ago that the taxes were too
'high but the organs said we didn't
know any thing about it. The peo
ple have been bankrupted, and the
cry is raised to reduce. Oh shame!

Uons of life in the Wild West," and
a historically-correct revival of clas
sic raceng' tournaments, take place
on the enormous track that encircles
the rings and stage. Barrett's men
agerie has long been conceded to be
one of the finest ! zoological collec
tions extant; ana, as it has been re
cently augmented and perfected by
numerous and costly European, im
portations, it will be doubly attract
ive on occasion of its approaching
visit. Probably the most strikingly
notable of Manager Barrett's just-ad-ded
features is the dog-faced Rus
sian boy, "Jo-Jo," whose resem
blance to askye terrier is remarkably
complete. Jo-Jo" is undoubtedly
the most wonderful and inexplicable
human phenomenon that this age has
yet seen. That Barrett will draw
big crowds here, can be set down as
a certainly.

JUevea it of the utmost impor-
uie people tnai . the Deiuo-
cratic party should continue in pow
er in the administration of the gen
eral government until it is able to
correct the many abuses intioduced
into the public service by the repub
lican party, among them the
accumulation of a dangerous and
corrupting surplus of money, and the
gradual encroachment upon the
right of local self-government by
federal authority. New Bern Jour
nal. Did any body ever see so much ef
fort put forth to express something
and so complete a failure to do it?
Such starting and halting, such hedg
ing and cringing. The Journal start
ed to say something and forgot it.
It started out to lam bast the Demo
cratic party for its many short-comings
its contempt for popular gov
ernment but it took counsel of its
fears and hobbled back under cover.
Any one sentence is a confession that
it t hinks the Democratic party is a fail
ure and is on the broad road to de
feat. Its irony is unmistakeable, for
it knows that the Democratic party
has corrected no abuses, as it prom
ised it would. It knows that the
Democratic party, Instead of reduc
ing the surplus has added nearly two
hundred millions to what the Re
publicans had hoarded. But the
closing sentence "Claps the cli
max." The Idea of any one talking
about encroachments upon the rights
of local self government, that is in
favor of the present monstrous sys
tem of county -government!
Yes, indeed the Democracy has
proved as big a failure as did the Re
publicans. Why not, then, try the
Independent shoot? We have not
met a man of late who is not an of
fice holder or an office seeker that
does not think that it would have
been better for the State and people,
if the Independent or Liberal move
ment had succeeded in 1882.
The following is good and we sup
pose it is true. An exchange says :
"State Treasurer Bain says, 'Taxes
are lower in North Carolina than in
any other State, accoaing to wealth
and population."
If that is true, it speaks bad for the
party that has had control of the
South for these many years. All
know that taxes in North Carolina
are too high higher than ever before
in the history of the government.
If they are higher iu other Southern.
States, the people should pray for
the return of the rule of the "Radi
cal thieves" of 1868 'G9.

REPUBLICANISM VS. DEMOC
RACY. Under this head the last Herald
has one of those drivels put forth as
editorials which scarcely contains a
single statement of truth. The wri
ter is evidently a ignorant of the
politics of North Carolina as a dog is
of latin. Such stuff has been thrown
to the people long enough. While we
believe both parties have utterly
failed in their obligations to the
people and are equally responsible
for the hard times, we do not intend,
while we run a paper, to allow gross
misrepresentation to go unchal
lenged, which is calculated to arouse
bitter party feeling, and set the peo
ple at each others' ears for no good
purpose
tVe are obliged again to call
attention of those who desire the
TBUin that our terms are cash in

now without the mouey in hand.

and be ready to meet us this week.

Gen. Henry R. Jackson has been
explaining elucidating his speech at
Macon that, as the Star prophesied,
would be misunderstood and misrep
resented. A correspondent of the
World reports him as saying:
"Will you pardon me. since von
deem this subject of enough impor
tance to seeK inis interview, for re
peating briefly my position? I at-
temDted to make nlain two thincr
in my speech. First, that the South
did not fight for slavery, but that
she fought for a governmental prin
ciple in spite of slavery and to the
! . 1 -a . . . .. -
pern oi slavery, oecona, that this
governmental principle, which is
not local but world-wide, is the prin
ciple upon which successful human
government must finally be .built;
and incidentally, and purely inci
dental, that Mr. Davis, having lep
resented this principal of State- sov
ereignty, when that, triuirmli ctimA
to the world will take precedence of
iur. Lincoln, who fought for the op
posite and, as I believe, unwise and
pernicious principle Of centralized
power. You may understand how
incidental this personal allusion was
when I tell you that I yield to few
men in my admiration for Mr. Lin
coln as a man."
That explanation is not in accor
dance with the truth of history.

The Supreme Court has decided
that can vassing boards cannot throw
out votes or boxes as illegal. They
must take the count as it comes to
