"We favor th rPi-eal of the present -vtern of countv government and the enactment of such law as will guaran tee the right of local elf-government in every county in the State." So reads the fifth count in the plat form adopted by the Republico-Populist convention in Raleigh last Thurs day. To fuse or not to fuse? that was the question. But they went to fu.se and they fused. That is to say, the majority of the convention voted to "co-oi-erate" with the Populists. And now read again the quotation lrom their platform atout county govern ment. Scratch around and find a copy of the platform adopted by the Populists in their convention a few weeks ago. What did they say about county gov ernment? Not a word, lhey waitea for the Republicans to say that ; and now since thev have combined, what is the difference? Read again at the head of this arti cle what the Republican platform said about county government, and then c.ill to mind thelact again that the Populists did not put one line in their platform about county government. It strikes us that the whole force and i l ia T?o-uilli'ind and record unuer poci n uwm - jvvjivmv... for all these Populists are to be directed against the Much Run Down llisnw ('., N.

There are many reasons tne unsuspecting Populists have allow why our elections should not be so e(i themselves to le persuaded that the frequent, and we propose to give some republicans are not aiming their blows of them from time to time. The Forum for September presents an interesting table of contents : "Les sons of Recent Civil Disorders," by Dr. J. M. Rice : "The Pay of Physic ians and Surgeons," by Dr. Geo. F. Sh rady ; "Present Industrial Problems in the light of History," by Edward Atkinson, and a number of other im portant articles by well known writers, make it unusually interesting:. at Democracy, but are working man fully for the working man The truth is this : The Republicans have observed that the Populists have become desperate and want to help do something desperate, and as they (the Republicans) have been in the "desper ate business all the while they see a 1 . 1 A I ' "I A .. 4 1 . good cnance, tney uihik, iu tmgagu assistance of the Populists.

A number of first to last. lAit x elect him by a rousing majority I am with you on too frequent elec tions and I submit some thoughts on too much politics. That we in this land of th free and home of the brave have too much politu-al turmoil and confusion admits of no doubt. If poli tics means liberty wc are overburdened with it. Scarcely a year passes without Its political fight with all its incidental trickery, debauchery, rancor and per sonal hatred ; neighbor is arrayed againt neighbor, brother against broth er, son against father. Methods and practices which under other circustan- ces would bring a blush of shame to an honest man's cheek are winked at, con- rtonfvl or l irnis cd as smart. I nder the garb of patriotism, love of country and people, the place-hunter and demagogue gets in his baleful work, arousing the prejudice and inflaming the worst pas sions of the iteople. This year we are blessed with one of these occasons in November. The rem edy would be fewer elections and long er terms of office. Every term of an elective office should be at least six years and where thought proper make the incumbent ineligible to succeed himself. Also, since the federal elec tion laws have been repealed, all elec tions, municipal, state and federal should occur at the same time. This would be a great saving in the matter of expense as well as other benefits to be derived therefrom. Reform comes slowly, but it is high time the people were moving in this direction. The present system is demoralizing and too burdensome upon the taxpayers. G. E. M. Ripples From Weldon. A COM PRIME XT TO X OUT 1 1 CAROLINA. (Correspondence to The Democrat. ! Weloon, N.

Now read again what the Republican platform says about county government and remember also once more that the Populist platform said not a word about it. WOULD SWEEP THE GLOBE. There are many honest, well-mean ing men in the ranks of the Populist party, who have been deceived by men who are looking for office. These good, honest tarmersand some of other trades Leaving out Senator Peffer s bill to have all the while declared that they raise all Federal taxation on land, the are as good Democrats as they ever Populists in the late Congress lntro- were : but how can they say that any duced bills enough to take several longer? Now that the Republicans times more money than is in existence have taken m the Populists how can in the entire world. Among their these "good Democrats" remain in the bills were Mr. Davis' loan bill, carry- mix:' Jtthev can favor In t;h nrotee- imr $ 1 0.U00.UUU.UUU : Mr. Clover's loan tion, which has w rung so many mil- bill, $12,000.000,000 : another bill by lions of dollars from the pockets of the Mr. Clover, $10,000,000,000 ; by Mr honest working man. and still be Dem- Kerr, $1,000,000,000 ; Mr. Hudson's ocrats, perhaps they can stay in the pension bill, $1,500,000,000 ; Mr. Day- mixed ranks, is' industrial army bill. $500,000,000 : Mr. Pefler's charity bill, $0,300,000 ; Mr. JJoen s internal improvements bill, $500,000,000 ; Mr. Boen's thistle bill. LUtAWX)U; Petters ram water bill, $20,000,000, making a grand total of $35,507,300,000. Representative Pigott, of Connecti cut, sas Mr. Daniels writing to the Xcivs it' Observer, recently made the following statement concerning the Populists' bills : "As the total estimated money of the world, including paper, gold, silver, copper, brass and iron tokens, does not exceed $10,100,000,000, it appears that the amount of money called for by the bills named is nearly four times the volume of the currency ot the world." M'orcfst r (Ma.?.) Sj)f. Many Northwestern farmers have be come thoroughly tired ol enduring the trials to which their uncertain climate subjects them, and are turning their eves toward the South as the land of promise. A large number of Nevada stock farmers and dairymen are prepar ing to move to North Carolina and pur chase farms in localities suited to their avocations. Within a few years the immigration of farmers, dairymen (oultry raisers, orchard, small fruit and vegetable cultivators from the North west and from our New England States will assume considerable proportions and Piedmont and western North Caro lina will receive more of them than al other sections of the South combined for the people of that State are more like those ot the North than any other and their laws and customs are more like those to which Northern people are wonted. There is less gush anil sentiment and more common sense to the square yard in North Carolina than in any State ol "Dixie land." 7t is a better State for New England men to go to who are tired of life in their ok home and long to get amid new sur roundings than any of the newer States of the West, Washington only excepted , and for men of energy, brains and money enough to start with it offers great opportunities. THE PRESIDENTS LETTER. On our first page we print the Presi dent's letter to Representative Cater ings, to which we referred last week. No one can fail to see in this letter Mr. Cleveland's fixed purpose for tariff re form. The late tariff law is a long stride in the direction of that reform for which Mr Cleveland has been fight ing for years, and for which his immor tal message made unmistakable decla ration just before the close of his first term as President. Whatever else may be said of Mr. Cleveland this one thing he has burned into the convictions of the American people : that he is committed unreserv edly to tariff reform. He says in his strong letter that he takes his place in the rank and file of the Democratic party to fight for that reform which we all so much desire. Let the battle be waged vigorously and in the end we shall fully conquer. Ask Youn Fkiexps Who have taken Hood's Sarsaparilla what they think of it, and the replies will le positive in its favor. One has been cured of indigestion and dyspep sia, another linds it indispensable for sick headache, others report remarka ble cures of scrofula, salt rheum and other blood diseases, still others will tell you that it overcomes "that tired eeling", and soon. Truly, the best advertising which Hood's Sarsaparilla receives is the hearty endorsement of the army or friends it has won by its positive medicinal merit. A. M. Bailey, a well known citizen of Eugene, Oregon, says his wife nas for vears been troubled with chronic diarrhoea and used many remedies with little relief until she tried Chamber lain's Colic Cholera and diarrho?a Remedy, which has cured her sound and well.

On day before yesterday Mr. Sydney Hamilton Beck arrived at the A. and M. College to take up his studies for the next year. Mr. Beck is from Table Rock, m Burke county, and in order to enter college here he walked from his home to this city, lie is a nephew of Mr. W. Randall who has gained so much distinction in this State and in Wash ington City as an artist. Mr. Randall walked from his home to chapel Hill when he entered there, made his board and lodging by mak ing charcoal sketches of members of the family in whose house he would stay, and kept mess for students at college. On yesterday we saw Mr. Beck at work mowing the college lawn. He is full six feet tall, broad shouldered, has auburn hair and a heart which is as large as a barrel!. He told us yesterday that he was ten days in coming, having npent one day with an uncle near Chapel Hill to rest. His longest day's walking was thirtyeight miles and the shortest was twelve. Mr. Beck is in earnest and he will no doubt make a mark which can be put down with honor beside those of many men of distinction. While in Chicago, Mr. Charles 1. Kahler, a prominet shoe merchant of Des Moines, Iowa, had quite a serious time ot it. He took a such a severe cold that he could hardly talk or navi gate, but the prompt use of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy cured hnn of his cold quickly that others at t lie hotel who had bad colds followed his example and half a dozen persons or dered it from the nearest drug store They were profuse in their thanks to Mr. Kahler for telling them how to cure a bad cold so quickly.
