Some of the subsidized organs of the State are making a great to do because it became necessary for the State treasury to borrow two hundred thousand dollars in order to meet the running expenses of the State government until the next legislature meets. It will be remembered that while the two last legislatures did not increase the rate of the State tax a single cent that those two legisla tures appropriated over a million dollars more than the two previous legislatures for maintaining public schools, for pensions to disabled confederate soldiers and for the relief of the insane who were being confined in the prisons of the State with criminals. Four years ago there were between four and five hundred of these unfortunate beings confined in the common jails of the country. The State has spent over fifty thousand dollars in the last two years for the relief of these people than it did during two years of fusion rule. The State has spent in the last two years over one hun dred thousand dollars more than the fusionist did during any two years of its power for the relief of the disabled confederate soldiers, the State also appropriated and has spent in the- last two years over three hundred thousand dollars for the benefit of the public schools of the State more than the fusionist did during any two years of their rule in the State. So it can be easily seen why it is that the State had to borrow money to help bear the expenses of the State till the next legislature meets. We are not to lose sight of the fact that all of this help was given to these three worthy purposes with out the rate of the State taxes being increased a single cent But the State of North Carolina had promised every child in the State when the new constitution was adopted that it should have the right to attend a four months free school no matter in what part of the State it lived or how far in the mountain gorges that it resided and the State has kept that promise to the letter. It is a simple duty of the State to take care of those who answered her call and spent four years oi danger and toil, ready at every moment to lay down their lives in her honor, when' they are no 1 longer able, on account of wounds and disease contracted in her service, to take care of them selves. It is the imperitive de mand of humanity that the insane should be cared for. Would these papers who are ' doing so' much harping on the necessity of the States borrowing two hundred thousand dollars please tell us which one of the above appropria tions they would have taken that two hundred thousand dollars off of? The State having to borrow two hundred thousand dollars need not cause any alarm. The new con stitution is now in effect and every man who is liable for a poll tax must pay that tax before he can vote and that alone will cause enough men to pay their taxes who t have never paid them heretofore to go a long way towards making up this deficiency. But North Caro lina will do her duty to the un fortunate insane, the old confede rate soldiers and the- little children of the State no matter if every subsidized organ and ring doodle in the State howls themselves hoarse, The distressed financial condi tion of Madison county is snch that thinking taxpayers ought to try to come together ' on some feasible plan for relief. In the first place the debt of he county ought to be reduced to a just and equitable basis between the claim speculators of the county and, the taxpayers so that the claim speculators may have the money they have paid out . . . r and interest on the same and the remaimder of the debts in the hands of the speculators, ought to be re mitted. This would be fair to the claim speculators and at the same time would be fair to the taxpayers of the county. This in affect was the way that the State of North Carolina adjusted the fraudulent bonds in the hands of the specula tors in the year 1879. By that means the debt of the county would be reduced -something like half. But that half ought to be paid in the life time of the men to whom it is due- The most feasible plan that sug gests itself to us is to establish a dispensiary in such towns of the county that desire to have liquor sold in them and let a certain part of the proceeds of the profits of the dispensaries be applied to the bene fit of the town in which such dis pensary is located, in order to en force order in the town and the remainder of the profits of the dis pensaries let it be divided between the school funds of the county and the payment of the county in debtedness . Judging from the success of the dispensaries in other counties we have uothmbr but there could be not less than ten thousand dollars secured for the foregoing purposes every year, ihen let the people work up their fruits into brandy and sell the same under proper State regulations as well as govern ment regulations. For we are firmly of the belief that there ought never to be a gallon of liquor sold unless it pays a tax for the ed ucation of the children of the county in which it is sold and at the same time help pay for the ex penses and cost that the county is out on account of the sale of liquor. People will deal in liquor and drink liquor in spite of all the pro hibition laws of the United States and it seems to us that the best way to deal with it is to make it pay back to the county all that it has cost the county in causing crime and at the same time to pay every cent that can be collected out of it to go towards the education of the children of the county. With the above plan adopted the high taxes of the county could be repealed by the next legislature and at the same time the county debt reduced every - year a great deal more than it will be by the high taxes and furthermore there could be three or four thousand dollars turned over to the public school funds of the county. This would also furnish a market for the fruit that is now lying on the ground rotting. . We invite a friendly discussion of the foregoing plan by all the good citizens of the county. . ' When Mr. McNamen, the kid gloved representative of Mr. Van derbllis decided to go into politics, it waa heralded abroad that "now at last we are to have a respectable Republican party in North- Caro imv" And Mr. McNamee went down to Marshall to lend "respec tability" to the mob that assem bled. He broke a gavel, a piece of board, and before the mob dis persed "the respectable Republi can party" was boated into an ag gregation of doodles aad pap-seekers: Thus does history repeat itself. Rhamkatts Roaster.' - Subscribe for the Recordand get your county news. Tha Vie of Whiskey. The amount of money and liquor that was used last week in tbe primary by te vario'is candidates for Cuiinty offices and the resulf of the use of that money and liquor ought to brt a vuluc-ble lesson to the sober, thinking taxpayers of the county. It is necessaiy to maintain honest government that there should be two great political parties and that the people of each county shou'd be as near equally divided politically as possible. Too large a majority in any county is dangerous to the best interest of that county no matter what party has such majority. It is perfectly obvious that one political party has too large a majority in the county of Madison for the best intorest n the county. If the contest be tween the two parties in the county were close enough tht euch side were forced to put out their bes' men in order to be elected then the office would hunt the man instead of men running all over the county for months, hireing men to ride for them, using money and liquor to secure their nomination, think ing that if they are nominated I heir election is Becured. If a man spends one thousand dollars to secure his-nomination ot course he expects to make it back out 01 tne oince tor wnicii tie runs and so it is tbe people pay the bill in the end. Tlien it is fast coming to the point that if a man has not got two or three thousand dollars to spend or if he is opposed to tin use of money and liquor in secur ing a nomination for office he bad j.ist as well not offer. For an ex ample in the primaries last week there were men who were candi dates lor nomination for office who h id been life long Republicans and were mei1 of high character in the county and were in every way qualified to fill the offices for which they offered but they did not choose to go into the use oi money and jgnor to secure such nominations and they were hard ly considered by the convention? Why? Because there were others who had spent money lavishly aud had flooded the country with liquor and consequently they ran rough shod over their opponents. And now they can say to the men they have defeated, help yourself if you can ; I can be elected any way And when they are elected they can say to the people, I will do as I please while I am in of fice. 1 will buy my nomination again and that will secure my election aud help yourself if you can. Convention Ecboes The late Republican Judicial conventiou demonstrates that 'he "machine" is not "ill it" when the Buucombe Radicals flood the town. They have to "go way. back and sit down" looking like a "fifteen cent piece with a bole punched in it." It is now said that the Bun combe Rods came down here de termined to have things their way or burst the convention. It seems they did both very success fully. They took what they want ed and gave Mr. .Washburn what their man wouldn't have. Never was there made a more unjust ruling than that made by Chairman McNamee iu the late Republican Judicial Convention here last week when he allowed Buncombe' solid streugth to be counted for Mr. Brown for Solicitor, notwithstanding that from 15 to 20 Buncombe delegates J were present and wanted to. vote for Mr. Mashbnrn. ' The Buncombe delegates came here instructed, a motion having beeu made in their county con vention to instruct for Mr Brown, but was defeated, but just prece ding the convention here they assembled in caucus nd Brown delegates being in, the majority, in structed, themselves for Brown olid. Chairman McNamee held this s legal and right . Hon, J. t. Hendricks did the genteel act when he declined to accept the nomination for judge. When he saw it wonld hart Mr. I Mashbum's chances l.ir Solicits Now will Mr. Mshburn remidia'e such kinrlneas by accepting this nomination himself at the hands of the A-heville crowd who lud treated him so unl.-iirly his own friends having left, the dii vntinn. and more especially after his op ponent, Mr. Brown, announced that Ii? positively would nt imve it when it had been teudcied linn. One Ashevil'e man feeling el.itel Plated over their unf.iir victory for Mr. Brown, proposed to bet JflOO hat they had a man in their crowd that could whip nn' man in Mar shall. We boast o:Jy of n "town r'ng" neighbor, not a prize ring. The Afadisrin Republicans nre threatening suit against the rail rond company because No. 12 was five hours late last Friday and they were f.ircd to put up with that Buncombe crowd for five long nourg alter ttie convention was over. However, as t le la-t, load of passengois, our faithful drayman, Tho6. Dockey, hauled from Job's to the depot, paid him 00 cents for his services. A compromise may be effected. "Koo." Bill Gentry t-ays that when he runs for office ng iin that he is going to get him a Mark Ilannai from Buncombe. Bill said he1' thought the "Court House Ping ' j was the whole thing, but hat the Buncombe "II. .g" swallowed it without grr-isiiig. The difference in the democratic I and republican bog of Buncombe : is that the democratic hog invited us up t'jBuncombj to be swallowed by main strength, while the re publican hog comes down to Madi son and steals everything in sight in broad dayl ght.

He is impartial in his re quests for boodle, and if he has been tipped by the opponent of the candidate from whom he asks a favor, he will see that opponent soon and will "pull" him if he is puiiabln. The candidate jucker is the tick on the body politic. Monroe Enquirer, The news columns of tiis paper have told that Mr Geo. B. Hiss, of th's city, is being utaed by Mecklenburg Republicans for th) Republican nomination for Cong- res8 j twin district and that the Republican convention of Cleve land coii'ity has endorsed him.. There really appears to be a spirit of oamestne-s about the matter, but what Mr Hiss can promise' himself in the premises or what promise his friends can hold out to him it is difficult to divine. He is quite a nice gentleman and a public spirited citizen, but one swallow doesn't make a summer and two qualifications are not suf ficient for a Congressman. In fact, one doesn't naturally asso ciate Mr. Hiss with a seat in Congress, and unless his name had been mentioned a majority of the people of the district would not, perhaps, have thought of him in this connection. However, this nomination would doubtless suit Mr. Webb very well and if it suits him and the Republicans two very divergent elements, by the wav, and difficult of reconciliation on general matters there is no ground for complaint, we reckon.
