NORTH CAROLINA is to have an elec-
tion tomorrow, and the old state-lower
in latitude by several degrees than this
has been worked up with degree of
excitement that could hardly he evoked
in any Northern state, even in the cooler
days of the late fall. The whisky ques-
tion enters largely into the canvass, not
as a means of persuading voters, which
is quite common at elections everywhere,
but as an issue of state politics and,
strange to say, the Republicans are try
ing to make capital from the anti-pro-
hibition element by representing the
Democrats as the temperance party.
This construction Of their position is
based ON some prohibitory legislation by
the last state Legislature, which was
controlled by the Democracy, and by
means of it the Republicans hope to per-
manently divide the present majority
party of the state. It is quite as likely.
however, that the Democrats will make
some compensating gains on the same
issue, though no outcome out of Thurs
days struggle can have much political
significance. 1t is interesting, however,
to see the party of moral ideas making
the fight for freer whisky.

The principle Of vaccination as pre-
ventive of smallpox has been success
fully maintained long enough, not only
to have created public confidence, but to
have secured the approval of the best
medical judgment. Indeed it is asserted
by those who ought to know that this
dreadful pestilence could be entirely
stamped out and its ravages stayed by
a universally of persistent vaccina-
tion. So easy a means of averting
such scourge should not be neglected.
Smallpox, it is wen-known, in lighter or
more serious form, returns to nearly
every community periodically and next
winter, it is believed, Lancaster is as
likely as not to have visitation from it.
Now is the time to prepare for it, or
against it rather. People who neglect
the easy and effective precaution of vac
cination not only run themselves into
needless danger, but do the whole COM
munity grievous wrong.

the weapons being pistols. Cheney used
a DerringeE which missed fire Conner,
with revolver. lodged a ball in Cheney's

fire, and he received another bullet in his

without success he threw it down, and,
seizing an axe. struck at Conner, who
warded off the blow and shot Cheney dead

A Tiny Apple Tree.

Perhaps the tiniest, most precOcious and
most prolific apple tree in the state is ono
that is growing and in full bearing in the
grounds of Henry GOrrecht, No. 300 North
Charlotte street. The trunk of this little
tree, if it may be called tree, is not
thicker than mans little finger, and its
tOpmOst twig is scarcely more than two
feet high. None of it's lateral branches
arc more than a few inches in length, and
yet upon this tiny tree are growing twelve
large and sl,apely apples OF tho Paradise
variety-the apples being ola pale straw
color and about the size Of an ordinary
rambo apple. This little apple tree was
only planted in the spring of 1880.

Casper Weber, baker. No. :}24 North

WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUG. 3. 1881
Try Again.


A good illustration of how the dilet-
tarte element in politics, who mean well
but do not have much practical knowl-
edge, expose themselves and the cause of
reform to ridicule is afforded in the
August number of the Penn Monthly:
which allows a contributor with the
high-sounding name of Edward Fenno
Hoffman to devote seven pages to an
article on "Primary Elections-Reform
in the Delegate System of Nominations. !"
People interested in the subject
who turn to it in expectancy of finding
something new and valuable, will turn
away in disappointment that the writer
knows 80 little about a matter which he
undertakes to write about. His narra-
ton of how much influence the primaries
exert on the general elections, and how
little interest citizens generally take, or
how little control they exercise in these
primaries is true enough, but so trite as
to he hardly worth the telling in the
pages of magazine that affects to deal
with live matters. 1t is to his proposed
remedies for the existing evils that we
turn with the confidence of finding some
thing original, when, 10! we find the
writer's discovery to be that, the princi-
pie of delegate conventions for making
nominations being the corner stone of
the whole system which has given rise
to political corruption, the efficacious
remedy Inc prescribes is that voters at
primaries should vote directly for the
candidate.
After expanding his idea the writer in
nocently adds in foot note believe
a system somewhat similar to this has
been successfully tried in Crawford
county, Pennsylvania" Now the fact
is, as anybody who has studied Penn.
sylvania politics knows, that the system
has been for years in operation by
both parties in many counties of the
state, that there have been numerous
statutes regulating it and that it has
had very extended trial, notably
mere in Lancaster county, splendid
field for the operation of reform.
1t has failed to vindicate its superiority
over the delegate sytem as a reform
agency; and, indeed, under it corrup-
tion has waxed more prevalent than ever
and the annual primaries of this county,
under the Crawford county system, are
by common confession carnivals of
corruption" in which " rings' and
"bosses" and political oligarchies'
strive for the spoils by the most desperate
and dcspicable means, and out of which
corrupt influences reap the victory IS
cffectually as under the delegate system.
In view of which facts Mr.. Edward
FennO Hoffman will do we'll to study up
the subject and try again. His present
effort would scarcely read well in a maya
zine of ten years ago.

weapon as soon as possible, and in his
haste did not consider the danger or ille-
gality of his act.
Guiteau has written long letter to
Judge Wylie, Of the criminal court, asking
that he be admitted to bail. He suggests
that the amount be fixed ut 81, 500, which
he regards as a reasonable sum. He be-
lieves he can give bond in that amount fO'
trial when he is wanted. Guiteau says
he is a lawyer, having been admitted to
practice at the Chicago bar, and he re-
CARDS himself competent to conduct his
own case.
