Was it written by a regular ed itorial contributor: 3. AY as it written or inspired in the office of the Courier. 4. Was it not written in Durham? 5. Was it not written by Mr. Carrs attorney pnd confidential adviser? 6. Was it not written by a lawyer who has no connection with the Cou rier either as editor or as pub lisher? 7. Was not the Courier, in this matter, merely a cats-paw for Mr. Carr? The young man who presides over the editorial department of the Ileidsville lie view is a verv sharp young man, and is also a verv fresh young man. we inn.-t stiv i . i ut in tne ai'Ove article .i i . i he dvis about the poorest lot of guess work we ever saw do'.ie in the same amount of space. Time and experience may yet learn him some things about the newspaper business that will be to his advan tage at least it is to be hoped so. As to the article referred to above we will take pleasure in answering his questions in the order they come. First. It was written by one of the editors. Second. Yes. Third. Yes. Fourth. No. Fifth. It was not. Sixth. It was not. Seventh. It was not. Before our young friend attempts to propound any more questions, we would advise liim to first po,t him- self, then perhaps he will not miss his aim so badly. Right here we will state, for the printing $5,' 00 annually, provided benefit of our young friend, that no that it shall not be drawn unless one in Durham has anything to do needed ; also the sum of $10,000 for with the editing, managing or owning the building of a hospital, not more of the Courier. It is the sole prop- than $5,000 of the amount to lie ex ert) of Xoell Bros., and they are re- pended annually. The bill was sponsible for everything that goes in amended so as to make $10,000 for the its columns in or out of court. hospital, $3,000 instead, $2,000 the In the future, as in the past, when firsl -ycar' and $1-000 the next.

Personally, we do not know j several readings and was ordered to him, we published his picture and endorsed him for a place in Mr. Clevelands cabinet because we be- lieved him to be a good Democrat and in every respect competent. We had a right to do this, and did it without reward or the hope of re ward. A MUDDLED EDITOR. A republican editor says: "Senator Gorman gives notice to the demo crats that, by the 1st of July next, they will have to increase the reve nues of the government. In other words, they will have to reform the tariff by imposing additional taxes." This is the way that quite a num ber of the high tariff newspapers im pose on themselves and their readers. They seem to lose sight altogether,of the faet that high duties decrease customs receipts. A tariff tax mav be so high as to prevent importation,' or it may be high enough to reduce importations of the aiticle on which the duty is laid. OnHhe other haud a reduction of the same tax to the fgfwiue point will stimulate importa tion and consequently swell customs receipts. The McKinleyites do not seem to perceive this simple fact, or, if tluy do, they persistently ignore it. In order to raise more revenue, the dem- ocnits do not need to increase the tax on any article. All that is necessary to do is to reduce the high duties, and by that means stimulate a heavy increase in imports. It may be necessary to restore the tax on sugar, which is purely a tax for revenue only; and it certainly will be necessary if Hawaii is to be annexed, for rhe sugar industry in that country is large enough to in crease the sugar bounty fund to ten or fifteen millions of dollars annually an increase that will be a heavy draft on the resources of the people's treasury. A tariff for revenue only is a much si ninler affair than the McKinleyiics '.murine. It is sure to satisfy ar.d phase the people. The only trouble is that it will not be put in opt ra tion as promptly as the tax-ridden public desires. Atlanta Constitution LOCKS LIKE ANNEXATION. The last advices from Hawaii rep resent the annexation sentiment as growing, and report the deposed queen as fully confident that her "envoys" to the United States would meet with a favorable reception. Lili knew what she was doing when after a little kicking she yielded to the persuasive eloquence of the "revolu tionists" and retired to her country residence. It was no doubt under stood that she and her daughter would be amply provided for and re ceive a substantial quid pro quo for a surrender of their claims present or prospective. The men who put up this job managed it a great deal bet ter for her than she could have done it for herself, for with $20,000 a year for life, in a country like Hawaii, she can live in royal style and escape the worriment of trying to live well and run a government never very flush of cash. If she had done the trading herself we think she would have considered herself lucky if she had got half ihe price she and her 1 T i .'11 1 lL. A V - i tiaiiguier win gei, u me ueaiv ue ratified.

Tributs o? Respect. As I entered the school room Feb. 2nd, the sad news came to me that Miss Mollie Harris died yesterday. As 1 thought of this, I realized more fully than ever, that Christ's Kingdom on earth has lost one of its most earnest and pious saints, but earth's loss was heaven's gain. We know she is gone ! but what does it mean? It means to us that one of our best neighbors has left us; it means to her church, that it has lost a brilliant member, an excellent sin ger; it means to her relation-", that a sister, j'ea, such a sister that is sel dom given to make bright a home, has been waited on by the angel messenger's and borne, by tliem, to her home on high, to give reality to religion, and to nial-e heaveu a place t be desired. Miss Mollie lived near Hurdle's Mill, and in her early years became a christian, and joined the Baptist church. As to her f-arlv li;e and womanhood, I will leave ti;at to liiose wuo Knew ner in iut ;in hood. It was in v privilege io know her in her latter days, when her many graces had ripened into matur-, ity. Surely, I cau say as a christian friend I loved her dearly. Bereaved ones, your frieuds and hers mourn with you, but the true sympathizer is the One who died on Calvary, and who will lead you through the gloom of your afflictions to the green pastures of Divine com fort and peace, if you will only look to Him and trust Him. God sent His messenger, and that messenger found her waiting. She has left the scene of suffering for a habitation in the skies. Not oDly her cuurch has sustained a great loss, but the whole communit', for surely she was one of the best of women. Well may it be said of her that the j world was made better by her having lived in it. I write this sketch with unspeakable sadness. But why should we grieve for one whose life was so pure and good? She has only gone from us to her reward, and we too ' shall follow soon. And so let us not ' grieve for her, but rather rejoice be cause the power of sovereign grace enabled her to live so well and db so triumphantly ; rejoice because it is our privilege to live in the service of the Master and to be ready for Him when He call9 fer us. "Be ye also ready for in an hour when ye think not the Son of man cometh." May God bless all her sor rowing relations and friends, and grant to us all a happy meeting with our departed sister.
