Our esteemed contemporaries.
the Wilson AdJance and the Scotland
Neck DEMoCRAT.have gotten into an
argument over this old Jacksonian
principle "to the vietors belong the
spoils," in which the Advance al
lud~s to it 'sds the ptost damnabte doc
trins eJei preached In american poll
tics.' Now if the Advance is right
as to the only idea this doctrine ex'
presses or conveys, that OF "spoils,"
then we might join in saying it is
"dantnab;g." Bit We argue this is not
true. We, feel that there is some
thing purer in this time -honored
principle than mere spolls." We be-
lieve in the doctrine not or the spoils,
bat because it is better for tie Gov
ernment that every subordinate posi-
ton within the control Of the Execu-
tive should be in full accord with it.
The only way that this Gun be &C.
complished is by the Executive
filling the Offices from that party to
which lie belongs and that element
that is in accord with his line OF po.-
icy. This would insure an harmoni-
Gus administration. Then why should
it be d "damnable doctrine; to fill
the offices from among that party
which has been successful at the bal
lot box in selecting head and fixing
a policy for administering the affairs
of Government? We think it right,
proper aad just just to the Execu-
tive, amt il securing harmony in the
administration and of governmental
affairs, destroying the probability il
not possibility of feuds in the family
circle just to the people in carrying
out the expressed will OF the majority
and we agree (and past history con
firms it,. '''To the ,ietors belong the
spoils is the only safe. true and relia
BILE principle on which the permanent
cy of any political party can ever be
based.''
And we agree with theDEMocRAT
eff the Democrats do not obtain the
offices while their party is in powe

party. 1t ought to be defeated i

WHY IS 1T THUS i?

We dislike very much to grumble
or find fault with our President or
his administration, but we are part
Of this Commonwealth of States.
and are welded to fixed and immu.
table principles. The people have
rights which Presidents, and even
Senators as we'll as heads of Depart
ments ought to respect, and as a
public journalist we feel that we
would be derelict IN our duty if we
should hold our peace and refuse to
approve or disapprove the course our
folks are pursuing. We are now
convinced that our President has
been either deceived and badly ad.
vised. or that he is not very deep,
broad>minded, full grown Democrat,
for surely his administration has
been run on very narrow gauge
road since the 4th of March. 1t
seems that G Gorge H. Pendleton, Of
Ohio, and George William Curtis, Of
New York. the tail end Of the two
great political parties of this coun-
try, inspired the President before his
Inauguration with the long since
dead and buried principles of all po-
litical parties. In fact since Pendle-
toms departure to Rome, George W.
Curtis and his Civil Service Commits.
sion. appear to control the President
and his Cabinet. 1t is true, few
crumbs are cast to Senators and
Representatives for their brothers,
sous, cousins, nephews and close
personal political friends, in order to
keep these dignitaries quiet and on
the side Of the Administration.
Well, we say to our Senators and
Representatives in all kindness and
with due respect to their position in
office and standing at home, that this
game Of "you tickle me and I will
tickle you, and we will both get
tickled," will not take with our people
much longer. The people believe
Mr.. Cleveland is right at heart and
that he is sound Democrat, but
that he has been hoodwinked and
captured by the politicians in Con-
gress, who have ever since the war
been making excuses and apologize
ing for the South, and at the same
time surrendering their manhood te
conciliate the North. Now, that
thing has played out, if we are
rightly informed, for we have heard
that the Union was reconstructed ane
that the South had rights which thu
Government was bound to respect
In confirmation of this, Mr.. Cleve
land has recognized the fact in hi
appointment to Office, for which tn,
South feels grateful. And now sine
ne has filled all the big places, boil
North and South, and in foreig1
countries, with the chief captains an
generals of the Democratic party,
he and his Cabinet and the Demo
cratic members of Congress will tur
their attention ,soac to the rank an
tiie Of the party, and cast a fe,
crumbs from the rich mans table t
the Lazaruses lying at the gate, an
not allow them all to fall to the Re
publican dogs, who had a complet
! monopoly for more than twenty year.
. they will do much to unite an
t strengthen the Democratic party

We fear that the people along. the
line of the A. & N. G.. r. r. have
been aroused by the unnecessary
action of the Governor in regard to
that road. It seems that Governor
Scales appointed two Directors of
the road from Wake and the State s
proxy from Chatham, which does
seem queer.
Mr.. Cleveland has appointed a
Gen. Krzyzanowski Inspector of
Customs at New York. He is Re-
publican, and his reappointment,
as stated by Mr.. Manning was owing
to "his excellent war record" -Ex.
Good reason! This man organs
lzed in 1880 a Garfield club. Last
year he organized a Blaine and Logan
club in New York. Mr.. Manning now
does not give as his reason for this
act that he was under the law or
that his competency sc. prevents his
removal but his excellent war re-
cord" Now that's good, isn't it
Wonder if Mr.. Manning could not
have found Democrat with an
equally excellent war record?" We
think SO. Suppose if you can that
this man was reappointed for the
completely of his name Such names
perhaps please eccentric Secretaries

Two Odd Conceits.

A new industry has come to life.
What to do with old kid gloves is
query generally answered by the rag
bag; but now some brilliant creature
with time hanging on her hands has
discovered that minute pin-cushions
can be evolved from abandoned gloves.
She cuts them into all sorts Of
shapes, these pin-cushions, triangles,
hearts, clubs, spades, little pug dogs,
and pussy cats, then neatly sews them
round and round, and fills them with
sharp and shining pins. Men are sup
posed to carry these kindergarten object
lessons in their waistcoat pockets, and
to think of her whenever they need a
pin, which they never do.
Little tables about twenty-five inches
high, having tops shaped like hearts,
are special fancy with the amateur
interior decorator She covers these
innocent finishings of her drawing-room
with canary-colored or brown plush, a
spray of flowers or a fight of swallows
or some other design adjoining the top
and continuing a little way down
one leg. The heart-top table, you will
please to observe, has superseded the
| trefoil shape, but even that affectionate
organ will fail of artistic appreciation
unless its decoration tapers of on ono

To be the pin beneath her chin.
Her little muff is wee enough
To grace Paris dolls trousseau,
And yet her hand and snow-white cuff
Seem quite content in there to go.
