tor the Ensuiug Year
After school board bad adioarhed last
evening and the members whose term

retary aud the Republicans the treasurer
and janitor.
Mr.. Cochran gave notice that when the
board met to organize for the ensuing
year, he would move to increase the
salary Of the secretary, which was entirely
| inadequate for the amount of work that
officer had to perform. He gave notice o.
this time before he knew who would b,
elected, so that 1t could not be said thu
increase was intended for any particular
person.
Mr.. Evans moved to amend by selecting
the officers Of the present year to serve 70
the ensuing year. The amendment va
agreed to by vote Of II tot.
DR.. Herr feared the adoption Of tn
resolution rs amended would cause dis
satisfaction, as it permitted Democrats :

licans and vice versa. He had not tn

dividing them, as proposed, but he though
it would be better for each party to hold
separate caucus and select their ow
candidates.

a Stirring Appeal.

Elk Senator Wadleigh, of New Hamp
shire, a life long Republican, makes this
earnest appeal to the business men OF the
country
ask the business men Of this country if
they expect that when political life has
been poisoned by dishonest doctrines the
virus will not oontaminate all business and
official circles {? Will not your servants,
your clerks, your cashiers, your brokers,
apply to your business the same rule that
Mr.. Blaine applied to the business of the
people, whose servant he was Will not
your city and town officers, your tax
assessors, and custom house officials act
on the same rule And will not the rising
tide of dishonesty sweep through the
courts of justice and infect your juries
and finally your judges? Even now the
chieftains OF the Republicans talS OF
successful bribery as though it were a
virtue instead of q crime. Political
dishonesty is the most threatening peril
to our institutions. Mr.. Blaine is its
representative. To defeat him will check
it and show the ambitious young men who
are being corrupted by the example that
after all honesty is the best policy, and
that cunning and unprincipled smartness
cannot always be sure of success.

THE PRICE OF FAME.
Bill Arp on The Conduct Of The
National Campaign.

The higher a man climbs the
palmer he shows his fundamental
infirmities. That is if he has any
and most people have got them in
this subloonary world. was won
dcring in my mind why they had
cnt brought out all these things
about Cleveland and Blaine before
when they were running for office,
but it seems that tho Office they
run for wasn't high enough to dc
velop every hidden thing. AS
they climbed up the pole the Sian
dcrers only put at them small op-
era glass but now that they keep
climbing higher and higher they
bring out their long barrelled tele-
scopes that magnify a thousand
times to the inch and they hunt all
over them for spots and blcmishes
and if there is a little spcck on the
glass of the telescope they mistake
it for a big spot on the man and
raise a howl all over the nation.
When Cleveland was running for
governor Of New York he was
abused right smart by the repub-
lican newspapers, but they never
said anything against morals or
his virtue as q man, but now since
he keeps climbing up the pole and
gets higher and higher, they have
brought on their telescopes and,m
croscopes and kaleidescopes, horo-
scopes and Cleveland is an awful
bad man. Well, | am afraid he
has not been as clean in all respects
as he ought to have been, I expect
he has been overtaken by the in
tirmities Of the flesh, but mighty
little harm came Of it and he act
ed like gentleman. When men
are overtaken by a fault it does not
matter SO much how they fall into
trouble as it does how they come
out oft. Just SO with Mr.. Blaine.
The slander against him is worse
than against Cleveland, for lie has
a wife and children. whom it af-
fects. 1t is cruel and outrageous,

That was sock dolger--Vance
dident belong to any church. He
knew that religion and meeting
was i big thing in the backwocas,
and controlled their politics, but
he didcnt know what their religion
was, for North Carolina was pow

Episcopalians in one place and
Presbyterians in another and Bap-
lists here and Methodist over yon-

were. all one way in settlement,
and SO he was in dilemma.
