THE DEMOCRAT. W. W. KI1CH1N, Editor. Thnrduy. fctpt. 3, IS5. jT Civil Service Reform. jWe prefer a Democrat to a Repub lican of equal character. lerNo honest and true Republican asks to be retained, and none other should be retained. In the South a sweep with a clean broom is demanded by all Demo crats ""Turn the rascals out." A GROWING EVIL KILL IT NOW. One of the most dangerous and fearful practices ever indulged m by any people, has taken root in the Federal Congress. And the sooner it is eradicated, cut up root and branch, the better it will be for the freedom of the American people. If it ex tends its operations outside of con gressional circles, there could be no prediction as to its injuries upon the people, nor could there be any limit fixed bej'ond which the custom could not go. It has become a habit with Congress, that when a member of either house, or a clerk dies, that body becomes very liberal with the peoples money, and pays all funeral expenses however much, and some times it runs up beyond thousands and tens of thousands. We believe Garfield's sickness and burial cost in dollars and cents over $100,000, and we expect to see Congress pay out of the peoples money several hundred thousands of dollars as soon as it meets for the funeral ex penses of Gen. Grant. You give your President fifty thousand dol lars per year, and in addition to that you give the contingent fund of the White House about seventy thousand dollars a year, all for the President. You give a member of Congress five thousand dollars a year and his traveling expenses and stationery bills in addition. You give the offi cers of Congress from 800 to $5,000 a year. Now if any one from the above classes dies during his term, Con gress at once sets about with the people's money to hold a big or little to do' over the dead body, according to ran k. A committee is appointed from both houses to accompany the corpse home and see that no body snatcher lays foul hands on the lump of clay until it is deposited in its last, resting place. Congress foots all the bills out of the people's money. Then a day is set apart to orate,eulo gize and rejoice over his virtues, statesmanship, and greatness and goodness, which no one. not even his most Ultimate friends, ever dis covered until Death the great leveler claimed him as his -own. If you were to take tha Congressional Record aud read over the eulogies delivered on these occasions you would be amazed at the great men thi country has produced. In fact no man ever died as a member of this body, or as President, who was not a very great aud very good man, if the sermons delivered on these occasions have any truth whatever in the them. The next step they take is to vote the family of the de ceased the unearned salary of his unexpired term, and pay him too. o ii frequently happens that a S tate or congressional district draws a salary for one dead member and one living member at the same time. Now, its bad enough to be so badly represented, and misrepresented here in this world, where we can Bpeak about these wrongs to each other, but to pay a fellow to misrep resent us in the world beyond when we cannot even so much as hear from him is beyond human patience to endure. Now this is all wrong. It is all done without the warrant of the Constitution. It is a high pre rogative the members . of Congress have assumed and exercised without legal and Constitutional authority, and ought to be stopped. W hy should the people be taxed ten thousand dollars to buy a gold plated casket, furnish a funeral escort, and a body guard, and furnish transportation one thousan or four thousand miles for a member of Congress. The people are no more interested in the burial of a king than a pauper, and the God of Heaven said let the dead bury their dead, and we find neither in the Bible nor in the Con stitution any command to Congress to bury their dead by taxation of the people. Our University articles have raised thunder, figuratively speak ing. The circulation of the Paris Petit Journal is now putt 800,000, less than half of which is in Paris. Fig aro sells about 50,000, Temns 33.000. Debats 8,000, and Siecle 6,000. N. Y. Sun. It is not and never was our inten tion to abolish. Chapel Hill and our public school system, Ave only want to abolish free tuition at Chapel Hill, and if the free tuition advo cates think Chapel Hill rests upon free tuition then we can't blame tbeni for their excessive vigilance, for their motives are good. But then fair dealing is the best policy. CIVIL SERVICE. There is much needed reform to be brought about by the Democratic party, if it is true to its pledges, its principles, and to the country. It is pledged to a modification and re duction of the tariff. It is pledged to reform and correct the abuses in the Internal Revenue. It has prom ised the people to ferret out and ex pose the fraud, corruptiou, and evil practices in the custom houses, in the Internal Revenue department, in the Pension office department, in the Land office, in the Post-office depart ment, in the Navy, Army, in fact the people commanded the Republican party to step down and out that the Democratic party might have the opportunity to clean out and purity the Augean stables. The people were convinced that the Republican party was thoroughly impregnated with political poison, and permeated with the dry rot. And we believed then and still believe the charges against that party were true, that our folks meant business when they promised a faithful, honest, economi cal administration of the people s affairs. And the beginnings made in some of the departments in that direction clearly shows that some of our folks mean to keep faith with the country so far as they can. Much, very much has been done in some of the departments in the' line of hon esty and economy, but there seems to be something lacking. Such won derful developments as were promis ed have not yet been made ; those stupendous frauds talked of in the last campaign, in the Treasury de- partment, Post-office department, and Interior department have not been uncovered. Now, why has this work not progressed more rapidly ? Well, we believe it is because Mr. Cleve land and his seven lieutenants have retained too many Republicans in office. It is expecting too much of human nature, to suppose these Re publican officials will squeal upon their confederates in crime aud their j t . t superiors; or even to suppose tnai taey will lead or assist in showing up the meanness and fraudulent do- iogs of themselves and coconspira tors, when that showing would inevi tably lead to their indictment, con-j viction and imprisonment, or at least ought to be. And for this very rea son, if no other, the whole Republi can brigade of office holders ought to be turned out, and faithful, honest, capable Democrats put in. In our judgment, Mr. Cleveland aud his lieutenants are committing a very great blunder. They have become too righteous to preside over the des tiny of a Democratic government. f there is one thing we know beyond doubt, it is this ; the people returned the Democratic party to power, be cause they were tired of the Repub lican, and wanted a thorough radical ohange. And we know every Repub lican and Democrat between the two oceans, and the lakes and gult, ex pected a complete change, from head to foot, from centre to circumference within six months from the day Mr. Cleveland was installed in office. It may be that Mr. Cleveland is neither a Democrat nor a Republican, and may not be surprised at his own con duct. And if he is neither, he must be a mugwump. For all simon pure Democrats and Republicans believe the rascals ought to be turned out. In fact everybody both North and South except the mugwumps and a few time servers.trimmers.policymen. and a few angels, just now made per fect, which the Lord of Hosts has left here on earth.to build up a political kingdom preparatory to the political millenium, expected and desired a new deal. We are not of those, who believe that all the patriotism, political virs tue, wisdom and statesmanship, that exist in this country, is centered in Mr. Cleveland and those who believe as he believes. We know some sav that he is bigger than his party. If they mean the mugwump party, that may be so, but it they mean the Democratic party, the3r are mistaken, their judgment is twisted and warped out. oi suape. iur. uieveiand is a very big man both physically and mentally, we admit. And with the exception or his mugmumpism is making a splendid President. But we have tried to comprehend and un Horcton 1: u; to retain so many Republicans in office, but have thus far failed. We believe he is wrong in the course he is persuing. We do honestly believe he ought to fill up the rank and file of his official brigade with the friends of the principles of the Democratic party. We captured the Government after more than twenty years defeat, and now to retain more than two thirds of the same officials which the enemy had in the departments at Washington, does seem to us all wrong, and especially does it appear to us all wrong, when we have able, nonest men who labored lor more than twenty years, and waited pa tiently, and never deserted the prin cipies oi ine party until success crowned their efforts. It really looks to us that a party with so mnch patience, that labored so long in be- half of principle and suffered so much in the cause of right ought to be allowed to enjoy the legitimate and honorable fruits of its victory. But the mugwumps, the civil service commission and the Geo. H. Pendle ton devotees have decreed otherwise, and cur President : is , so rightedus, virtuous and conscientious that he feels bound to obey an unconstitu tional statute and keep the Republi cans in office for life, thereby defeat ing one of the very objects of a Re publican government. What would you have thought of General Lee after he had captured a divison of the Federal troops, if he had taken the Federal officers and put them over Confederate soldiers, or even General Grant after he had captured Vicksburg, if he had taken the Confederate"officers and placed them over Union soldiers? That policy on the part of Lee or Grant would have been just as reasonble as the policy persued by Cleveland. There is no more common sense in retaining Republican officials under a democratic administration, tnan there would have been in retaining Union officers to command Southern soldiers. If there was no patronage connect ed with a government then no party ought to have any, but since, of ne cessity, there is patronage, which of necessitjs must and will go to either the one party or the other, ought not tbat party which i3 victorious to have the patronage? Why give it to the enemy? Upon what grounds can it be withheld from your friends and supporters. '-To the victors belong the spoils" we say, if all other men everywhere should say otherwise. This is not the first time we have said in these columns that we believe Mr. Cleveland's policy would disin tegrate the political parties South, and if that is his purpose, we be lieve he will be successful, but we must say in candor, that we look forward to that day with fearful fore bodings. We have been foolish enough to desire a division of the blacks and whites in the South,' but we have advanced from that position and now say unhesitatingly after careful thought on the subject, thai we .hope we shall not live to ' see that da'. Neither the whites nor the blacks want such a condition of affairs to come to pass. It would be a terrible calamity to both peoples, and we fear would do the blacks no good, and would recoil, with its car avan of evils upon our own blood and race. If Mr, Cleveland's pur pose is to disintegrate the Republi can party, we Lope he will not suc ceed. Two political parties are as indispensable to the purity and per petuity of a republic, as Oxagen and Hydrogen are; to constitute water. As soon as one of the parties becomes so weak as not to offer any resist ence to the party in power, the con trolling faction runs into all kinds of excesses and finally if not checked by some powerful opposition, in to anarch' or despotism, Our own ex perience proves this, without going to tha history of other peoples and republics. When the old Whig par ty disbanded, the Democratic party burst its blader, and its head as well, and the result was the late civil war. And after the war with no power ful opposing forces to the Repub lican party, it became corrupt and oppressive, the history of whose wrongs, outrages and hellish doings we forbear to mention now, From our standpoint we cannot endorse Mr. Cleveland's administration as a whole. If we did we should do vio lence to our judgment. So our friends will please allow us to condemn his mugwumpism. REASON IS A BETTER THAN IRONY. WEAPON ' Is it not strange that the human mind, when it becomes exhausted and can find no solid pillar upon wuicn to rest ana recruit its power to gapple with honorable opposition, loses its balance and falls into chan nels which its Creator never design ed? Irony and ridicule are indeed powerful weapons when used by giant master minds, but when used against logic by Liliputs they are as powerless as the driven snow against the mountain peak. Now the Kins- ton Free Press read one of our arti cles upon our University, and finding it impossible for him to ans wer our reasons against its free tui tion featqre, made a feeble effort to ridicule and burlesque our ideas con cerning the same. Too weak, broth er, your gun did not contain ammuni tion enough, your range being tod short your shot fell far beneath the mark. Next time use a better wea pon, put in a better charge, raise it higher and maybe it will hold up bet ter. Now let us make a few serious bucsuuus. juyuu .minis you can bv caustic and ironical jirt.iloai -Jin tho ftnnncitinil - . " tr""" tuition at our University, we will kindly suggest that you and those with you may find that you have seckoned without your host and that you un- uwMuiumre me strengtn ot your opponents which must be overcome before you can expect the free tui tion feature at Chapel Hill to be re tained. We will suggest that noth ing but a fair and honest discussion of this matter before the people with solid reasons and unanswerable lof ic will again induce the people to vote money to our University for free tuition. You cannot laugh this subject out of the minds of the tax payers. And, brother, while your editorial is very funny and shows the weakness of your cause and may supply to your min a flood of light and a stream of joy for yearslo come (it certainly is funny) it has not convicned one of Adam's descendants that you have yet. mastered the . art you tried to practice in your tirade against the Democrat, which by the way still exists. You either miscon ceived or misrepresented . us. We trust your editorial arose from your lack of power to comprehend our meaning or from our inability to express our thoughts so as to be understood by ordinary minds. Please, brother tell your readers how, from where or what you de rived your information that we are opposed to the University and th?t we have ever abused that institution or rather "the only interest we had in that noble institution was to see it crumble to the earth:" ? Such assertions and misrepresen tations are not too long headed but en tirely too bald headed ; can't you pat a little wig on them and conceal some of their deformity? Now in conclusion let us say that we will never misrepresent the Free Press and that we will deal fairly and hon orably with all differences which may arise between us and on ques tions concerning the public and we hope our friend and neighbor will do likewise. Of course he will. There is nothing in the end gained by dodging the main issue to be discussed. Honest is the best poli cy always. At last reason, justice, truth and common sense will prevail. By the way, brother, how did you discover or who told you we were a leading Baptist? Again, brother, excuse us, we dis like very much to be tedious but since you seem to have such an enormous supply of information about us we will feel under many lasting and binding obligations to you if you will only tell us how, when, where, SB It or troni wnom you learned that Brother Kitchin of the Demo crat "will have peace in regard to the University if he ha.s to run sev enteen colums of the Democrat in blowing up and abuisng the Uni versity." Pardon us, but for fear we should dynamite the University, you had better telegraph President Battle to be on a sharp lookout? In case we should be let loose in our mad ca reer, we might not only blow up the institution and thereby ruin the State and the free tuition at Chapel Hill, but might also destroy the Fac ulty and students, so put the sentinels out with drawn swords to guard the sacred entrance to that sacred institution. In that case would not free tuition there "fare common?'' "Let us have peace." THE FREE TUITION, THE TENDER SPOT. The Wilson Advance refers "to the enemies of the University" and moreover "to thetenemies of the pub lie school system." Since we are not so old as the editor of the Ad vance and have not so minutely observed the positions of individuals for the past few years, you will ex cuse-usfor saying that we have nev er consciously seen nor heard of an enemy of the University and that we have never dreamed that in our State to-day there is an enemy of the public school system. We are proud to number ourself with those who oppose the free tuition at our University and also with those who oppose the Blair Bill which, if pass ed, may effect our public school system- But our reasons against the former we have given time and again and the Democrat has in more than one article stated reasons against the latter. We believe those who oppose free tuition are the best friends cf the Uvniersitv, though they are by some hasty minds mis taken for and styled . as enemies. We want our Chapel Hill to be a University in fact or else it should dispense with that deceptive name. We are glad to note its every pro gressive step. Why should the Old North State be behind the Old Do minion as to a University ? It is evident to any one wlio reads both papers that there is a striking difference between the opinions of the. Democrat and those of the Advance. In last issue our contem porary says, " the Democrat, the paper of Capt. W. H. Kitchin" &c. That gentleman is the proprie tor but he is not the editor of the Democrat. But it may be that our articles concerning "to the vic tors belong the spoils" startled the editor of the Advance and caused him to think that we were some old man, perhaps a Capt. But if that's so, then our contemporary is labor ing under a mistake and he can at tribute the effect of our articles to the fact that we were on the right side of the question. That explains it. Now, brother do you remem ber how you once before misquoted us; well, we must ask you to be a lit tie more careful in your quotations especially when you use quotation marks. We distinctly saia max we are "individually in favor of turn .... . i i .i ing the University" &c. Iji your quotation yap left "individually" oit; thus rowing it appear thai; we woqld advocate that. Then it seems that, the Advance is bent upon mis representing us. It may be that we are unable to express our thoughts, it may be that we are a fool and express to wise people what we do not mean, but it is 1 - i 1 1 i 1 strange to us mac tne kccu eyeu Advance, is the only one in our knowledge that ever yet on any subject received else than the im pression we intended to convey. And since we find that we are un derstood by all our readers save the Adoancevre are unwillingly led to the conclusion that our contemporary lacks the power of correct under standing:' He speaks of our excited imagination, when wo find such mis representations " as we sometimes do, we beqome excited we admit, but it is caused by wonder and sur prise, but what can cause a person quietly perusing an earnest edito rial to become so excited as to in dulge in misrepresentations we know not. Whether there is a State institu tion such, as we described as run ning in competition with our Col leges and higb schools and giving tuition out on the principles of lot tery &c, we care not, but wish there was not. The people may de cide that, the Advance denies it however. Here is wherein our contemporary misrepresents us: he talks of the "argument against the public school system." Ye gave none. There was none. We tried to give none. We never will. The patriotic Advance never did and never will surpass the Democrat in its zeal for our public schools, but we deny that Chapel Hill should be the bead of these schools. We believe in the free schools, our read ers know this, they could expect us to take no other position. But if our schools gave tuition to only one boy in .each township as now our University gives tuition to only one boy from each county, we would op pose, it.' If every boy and every girl could be admitted to the Uni versity we might not oppose the free tuition, for then it would con tain some fairness. Any one who read the article in the Advance and who did not read the Democrat, and hundreds did it, if he trusts the former now thinks we oppose our public school system. Why were we shown in such a light?. Will anything we have ever said war rant it? Surely not. If anything is seen through green spectacles it ap pears green, through dirty glass it appears dirty, oh! how, did we ap pear when we were seen by others through the spectacles of the Ad vance. , Don't tell us. We hope the Advance read our ar ticle in last issue upon the Univer sity for in-it-were some thoughts about free tuition, &c. Our con temporary concludes by, saying "but the subject of the University seems to have unsettled the views of 'the Democrat upon even that : prima ry principle" meaning the . right of the State to maintain a public school system. . We hope not. We believe the State has that right And if it ever becomes necessary we will defend that right. Did any Douy eise tninic we were "off77 on that? What's the matter then? Only ' a misinterpretation. Tha t's all. We wish we could have made only the corrections necessary for being understood. CONTEMPTIBLE On Monday the New York Herald published a long account of the cap ture of President Davis at the close of the war, and in this account the same mean, wicked, vindictive and malicious falsehood, which has been denied by responsible witnesses, is again retold and this time with edi torial spite and venom and scurility. This writer not only avers that Mr. Davis was dressed in woman's appa rel, with hoop-skirt and other femi nine appliances, but that "old Jeff begged and implored his captors not to let him be hurt etc." A bigger, meaner, viler he was never uttered. A man whose courage is as well es tablished and recognized as the foot prints of Christianity upon the heart of civilization, a man, whosefirmhess is as unshaken as the rock-bedded foundations of the everlasting moun tains, a man whose valor is as lus trous as the stars of the sky upon the blackened bosom of night yea such a man as that would not beg and implore anyone to save his life, and particularly at such a time, when death would have -been: a glorious emancipation from the humiliation of that defeat, whose deepening shad ows he knew so well were but the funeral shroud of the dead ; Lost Cause. Our . , noble leader the, knightliest man in America, and the bravest of the brave, was incapaoiej of such truckling and cringing, and we hurl the accusation back, into the teeth of the mean and wicked slan derer ; and we are : surprised at the Herald for publishing such a lie, and particularly at this time, when every Southern paper has maintained such a respectful attitude towards themem ory of their worshiped chieftain so lately laid down to rest, and when his glorious "Let us have peace" should be the yearning and the long ing of every patriotic heart. But if these Northern people who live in the enmity of hate which grows around the name of Jefferson Davis and which is continually flinging its mud of detraction at his reputation, thirik the Southern people will tame ly submit to having their leader in that memorable contest branded as a coward on any and all occasions, they are badly, yea, woefully mistak en, and must have entirely forgotten the existence of that temper and re sentment which was shown in the blaze of a thousand battle fires. They may hurl their slanderous utterances acaiost the immaculate reputation of Jefferson Davis, and try to darken the lustre of his renown, but they will be as futile as would be the effort of the smallest worm to spit its spleen against the sun at noonday and quench its dazzling brilliancy. The splendor of the reputation which Mr. Davis has made as a soldier, as a statesman and as a christian gen tleman, like the sun whose beams flood the world, and tell of a bright ness that is eternal, has spread over all lands and all climes, and has won the admiration of all hearts that can throb responsive to the thrilling inspiration of a high and holy patri otism. And the mists of misrepre sentation which now and then rise about him will be disappointed by the glorious sunbeams of truth, and will be as harmless as the fogs which hang about the Heaven-nursed summit of some grand and majestic and overtowering mountain. Mir ror. We cordially endorse every word said bv the Mirror. No grander man ever lived or died than Jeffer son Davis. No purer, nobler, chris tian hearted , citizen ever honored the social walks of life. He is one of the ablest, soundest, purest states men that ever graced the Legislative Halls of Congress. No Northern statesman of this age or generation can begin to compare with him in all those qualities that go to constitute the attributes of a great and good man. The National Reputations of all,the men on both sides in the late war sink into insignificance, save Lee, A. S. Johnson, and Jackson, when put along side by side with our own Davis. History will stand him at the head of the list of great men produced in those stormy days ; and had success crowned his cause (our cause) he would have gone in history as the grandest man yet produced on American soil. God bless him now, henceforth an.d for ever. May his life be prolonged by the God of heaven, in health and happiness till he shall see his coun try shielded by the constitution he loved so well and defended so Ions, and see the clods fall on th elast one of his defamers.
