that power we can hardly imagine
how it can be abused. We simply
meant that, with such practice in

of the University, and how could you
patiently listen to the calls of human

further from our intention than even
intimating that the President had

proper. OF course, If we had asked
what compu!sions arr. upon the Fac

without security is not a rery sure
plan of increasing the revenues OF the
University.
AS to acting like the colleges OF
the State the University is in error.
It should not pretend to follow IN
the footsteps of any college.
The President should remember
that the colleges of the State are prl'

The bllintroduced into the legis-
lature, to tax each dog one dollar, has
been Indefinitely postponed. We
always thought the press was rather
urgent upon the Legislature to pass
such an act. The bill, Of course, has
been, in reality killed. Perhaps per-
sonal!y the majority Of our legisla>
tors were in favor of the bill, but
thev preferred to voice the will of
their constituents.

that the barbs on wire are not SO nee

We have nothing but the kindest

The readers of the DEMOCRAT vel

The readers of the DEMOCRAT we'll
remember our editorial two weeks
ago. They well Know that we aimed
our article only against a principle
and not against individuals. and now
and ever after we shall adhere 20 the
same practice. As you observe in
the above letter, President Battle has
courteously answered some of the
questions propounded. Certainly
any bylosO of the Trustees would be
null and void if it. or any part Of it,
comes in conflict with one iota Of the
Constitution. Any bylaw Of the Trus.
tees must find shelter under the pro-
tecting awning of the Constitution,
before it could justify an act.
The la,o Of humanity may possibly
excuse the President, but surely it

fly him.
we thinK the taxpayers Will take
this view of it. 1T is human to err"
therefore let all who have the written
law trust ever to that safe aud sure
guide and not to the dictates of se>
ductive humanity. The laU Of hu-
maanity is law to which we all fall
victims. but. the State Of North Caro>
lima should not. We believe that the
taxpayers ofour State would say and
do say to their public officers to rec
ognize no other Law, however potent
may be its urgent appeals, save that
which has been prescribed by their
legislators. That further question

place the paper on solid basis. with
a capital stock sufficient to insure its

patriotic principles, being interested
in the town and community and in

And we take this means of assuring
the public that this paper shall con-
tinue whether it is selt-sustaining Or
not. But it is we'll known to the pub
lie that no paper can be successful
without the hearty cooperation and
steady support of the people. Every
community ought to be and is able to

the community that fails to do this Is
rightly considered behind the times
and wanting in enterprise. If the pa

it will incur loss both to the stock.

We, therefore. appeal to our friends
and the public generally TO give their
support, and thus aid us in the cOntin-
uance Of this enterprise SO needful to
the community.
We assure the public that they
need not hesitate to patronize the pa

We Supported Mr.. Cleveland in
the campaign with all the power Of
our mind, soul and body. Our time
and monev went according to our
ability, in the cause without price.
The great object and ambition Of our
life was to drive the republican party
from power and re-install the demo-
cratic party in power. We labored
earnestly and desperately with
tongue and whatever ability we pos
sessed for the election of Mr.. Clevc>
land, not because we loved him bets
ter than other men. or considered
him the grandest MAJ n the party,
nor because we desired or hoped for
Office, for we did neither but because
we considered him the embodiment
of the democratic code and the CHOICE
Of the accumulated wisdom of the
democratic party. Twenty years of
fraud, corruption and maladministra.
ton under republican rule had hons
eycombed the foundation Of the gov>
eminent and it was about to topple
and sink beneath its burden of abom
nations.
The Constitution as a barrier or
check to the rapacity, wrongs and
outrages Of the republican leader was
as rope Of sand or spider web.
| The burden of our song and the
greatest desire Of our heart was to
root out and kill out corruption. and
restore the former glory of the Fed
eral Union. and to make the Consti>
tuition the guide of, aud supreme law
unto all men.
We believed and still believe that
can be done. We hope and believe
that is the purpose of the Presidents
elect, and If energetically and pos-
erfally supported by the best men of
the party and press. he will guide the
leople safely, and bring the old dem.
ocratic ship back to its ancient moor
ings.
His past record affords proof Of bis
future success. Now we submit The
proper way to aid him in accomplish
ing this grand result. is for each
leader of the party, each newspaper,
each democratic Legislature, and each
and every democratic member of the
Federal Government, to neither adj
Iyocate nor practice any other doc
trisle than that laid down in the plat
forms OF the party, and practiced by
the apostles Of democracy. Any 9th
ar course pursued will weaken tbs

Anxiety Relieved.

Well, the Inauguration has at last
been. The largest and most entail
siastic assembly ever in Washington
witnessed the ceremonies of the
Fourth. There were over 100000
visitors from all parts Of the country
