EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Cleveland papers last week
gave it out that the people of New
Jersey were just falling over each
other in their efforts to give a judge
ship or a Senatorship to Grover
Cleveland- Their announcement
caused no excitement anywhere.
The people know that Cleveland's
political grave is.so deep that no
political Gabriel's hoin i will ever
reach him.
With cotton selling for about $25
a bale, most store goods advancing
and threatening to advance on ac
count of the higher tariff of the Re
publican administration and the
sheriffs and tax collectors of our
counties and towns demanding the
immediate payment of taxes, it
would seem that our Southern peo
ple could stand a little more "pros
perity" than its. "adyance agent"
has given them without getting
"bigotty" or throwing away their
old clothes. When it takes 16 pounds
of cotton to get a dollar and the
same number of dollars as ever to
pay taxes, our farmers could even
stand a little "choaper money."
The gold standard must turn a more
smiling face' upon the Democratic
farmers of North Carolina than 6
cents cotton, before any number of
its advocates can persuade them to
abandon silver and the Chicago
platform.
In Greater New York the Demo
cratic convention ignored the Chica
go platform and an independent can
didate for mayor is dividing, prob
ably equally, the Democratic vote
with the regular nomiuee. The
present state of affairs there should
be a warning to the Democratic
party of North Carolina not to a-
dopt the advice of certain gold bug
papers in this State to ignore the
National platform of the party in
our next State convention. Such
a course, instead of depleting the
ranks of the Populists, would be the
best possible recruiting agency for
that party that could be devised.
Whatever else the convention does,
let it speak out in clear and unmis
takable terms upon silver, the in
come tax and government by in
junction. An ignoring or a strad
dling policy upon these vital princi
ples of the party can only end in
disastrous defeat and, what is far
worse, in party dishonor.
The Wake county grand jury has
presented qnite a number of State
officials for riding on free passes.
Among the number is Governor
Russell. Wo understand that he
says that President Elliott, of the
Coast Line, and Vice-President An
drews, of. the Southern, went to his
house and begged him to accept
passes, that he did not want to af
front them in his own house and
took the passes to get rid of the
railroad men without wounding
their tender feelings. If there ever
was a flimsy excuse this is one. The
very fact that the railroad officers
were so anxious for him to take the
passes should have shown to Gover
nor Russell that he, as a public ofS-
cer, should not accept mem. ii
1 11 . 'A J 1 . T
there is a law against the public
servants of the people taking passes
from corporations and monopolies,
such as these railroads have shown
themselves to be, then the officers
should be punished. The people
employ and pay them sufficient sal
aries for the performance of their
duties and they should not be allow
ed to accept favors from corpora
tions, whose selfish interests may
and does conflict with those of the
L people.
Ex-Senator John R. McPherson,
of New Jersev, is dead. His chief
claim upon fame is the possession
at one time of a very smart servant.
During the dickerings over the su
gar schedule of the Wilson tariff
bill in the Senate, Senator Mc
Pherron wrote out a telegram to
his broker in New York ordering
the purchase of sugar stock. The
Senator, according to his own
sworn statement, then remembered
that he should not, as a member o:
the finance committee of the Senate
haying the sugar schedule in charge,
speculate in securities, the value o
which could be so materially in
creased or diminished by his own
vote. He concluded not to send the
telegram and it was thrown with
other waste upon, the floor. His
servant, afterwards going into the
room to sweep it out, found the tel
egram, went to the telegraph office
and had it dispatched to the broker
in New York, who followed out its
instructions and netted some $1,500
to the good side of the Senators
bank account. Such servants would
be almost priceless to our cotton
future speculators of Statesville
but it is thought that the breed has
become extinct or that the Senato
rial . demand exceeds the supply.
The dead ex-Senator was a bosom
friend of Grover Cleveland and a
gold bug..., - '

THE GREAT WALLACE SHOW.
One tbe Largest and Best Mhows on the
Hoad.
Thursday, Oct. 21, The Great
Wallace Shows will spread their
acres of white canvas in this city,
and if the advance reports are to
be believed, the tented institution
this season is one of the two larg
est circuses in America. The press
of every city in which the shows
have exhibited have been lavish iti
their praise of the enterprise, par
ticularly the Pittsburg (Pa.)
Chronicle Telegraph, where the
shows appeared a short time ago.
This great newspaper has among
other good things the following to
say:
The title of "The Greatest Show
on H,arth has been claimed bv
many aggregations which annually
visit this vicinity, but it is certain
there are no greater than The
Great Wallace Shows, which ap
peared here Monday and Tuesday of
this week.
The claim was made by the man
agement that the combination was
best three-ring circus, museum
and menagerie in America, and the
m is no exaggeration. Another
claim made was that the various
features of the show, as advertised,
would be shown, and it is a pleas
ant task to say that the claim was
literally true. Not a feature as ad
vertised was omitted, and all who
attended the performances were
loud in their praise of the produc
tion and the honest way in which
the management conducts the gi
gantic affair. Honesty towards the
public is one of the mottoes of the
owners, and that this pays was evi
denced by the great crowds which
attended the performances. It is
safe to say that on the next visit of
The Great Wallace Shows to this
vicinity there will be even greater
appreciation of the promises which
the management made and kept.
The management also claimed
that tne snows are lotty in concep
tion, regal in appointment, and
pure!n character. This is all true,
and more especially the latter
There is nothing in any of the many
and varied features .of this great
show to cause a blush on the cheek
of the most modest.
The show is full of many features
of exceptional worth, and most of
them have no equal in the world,
and the $10,000 challenge that the
world does not hold their equals has
not and will not be taken.
Another thing which . shows that
the management is dealing fairly
with the public is the fact that two
Pmkerton detectives are with the
show to insure that there will be no
pocket picking, swindling and other
deyices from which those attending
some circuses sutler.
A pleasing feature of the great
shows is that there is a genuine
band, made up of 36 musiciaus
and not an aggregation of amateur
performers. This band renders
music, and not the combination o
discords made by some so-called
bands.
Indeed, there is no feature of the
great combined show which is no
first-class and far above the average
and no one need hesitate about . go
ing and taking their wives and fam
uies or sweetnearts, and they can
rest assured they will be well enter
tained. Anyone who has seen The
Jt M TIT 11 i-11
ureal w aiiace snows is sure to go
again, because some of the features
are so novel and startling that one
could not tire of seeing them.
