General Mcclellan.

Another of our great generals is dead
His history is known to all. At this mo-
ment, in the suddenness of the announce
ment, naught can be expressed but words Of
affection and sympathy for the memory OF
George Brinton Mcclellan, at one time Gen
eral Ct the United Stat Army.
Of that peculiar grade Of moral constitution
which is best described by the term conserv-
ative, his nature was one that made and
gathered around him certain number oil
friends, fast friends, who stood by him
through thick and thin, through evil repolt
and good report. This best describes the
constitutional animus OF the deceased sol.
der.
In the history OF our northern army non
Of our generals, not even excluding tho
greatest and brightest, Ulysses Grant, did
any commander gain such spontaineity o.
affection as did McClellen from the army he
commanded. His soldiers adored him.
Surely there could be no better epitaph for Il
leader Of men!

Our Waterways.

In speaking of the proposed great canal
connecting the waterways of the st. Law
renee and the Mississippi by the link of the
Illinois River and Lake Michigan, ex-Sena-
tor James r. Doolittle of Wisconsin said
that important and powerful as railways are
for good, there is lurking in them and in
the stupendous monopolies growing OUT of
them great power for evil to be guarded
against. First of all and above all let us
cherish and preserve all our natural and ar
tifcial waterways as the bulwark of inland
commercial freedom. Beyond all railway
commissioner beyond the power Of human
legislation chose waterways are the regula.
tors Of transportation.
Delaware is gradually becoming canal
inlersected region. The new canal project
cutting through onr peninsula from the
Chesapeake to the Delaware is a great pro
iect and will be Of great advantage to all;
not alone to those in its immediate neigh
borhood, but also in creating greater facili-
ties Of exchange and transportation between
the states on either side of us. The under
taking, if carried out with single eye to
It's commercial advantages, will be help to
business people of the peninsula. The
great danger, however, is that it may ulti-
mately drift into the possession of that all
grasping monopoly the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company. That company will not
only not brook opposition, but its policy is
to subsidize, at a loss to itself if it does not
purchase, what may develop
as inimical to its interests. Witness
its maintaining a steamship line between
this city and Philadelphia whose mission
was simply nothing less than to smother
the enterprise of Wilmington's steamers, the
Brandywine and Wilmington. Every effort
was made to gain that end, but we all re-
member with what i'll success. Should this
ponderous monopoly, whose great arms
spread over half dozen states, gobble up
our waterways as well as our railroads. then
we may remember with regret the signii-
cant words of the great Western Sena-
tor.

Diseased Meat and Impure Yegc-
tables.

That uncean meat has been offered for
sale in our markets does not admit of dis
pute and it seems that some legislation
might be secured whereby an impartial in
spector of meats, fish and vegetables might
be appointed for this city.
Our community is deeply interested, not
only in securing good and wholesom3 food
supply, but also in preventing the safe and
rss q saytTiag srrT nay rada5Esr ITaTr'c
health. 1t is not enough that each family
shall be able to get that which is good in
the line of meats, vegetables aud fruits if
they want it, There should be some way to
prevent the sale of unwholesome articles of
this kind TO those who are willing to use
them because they are cheap. Diseases
arising from the use of unwholesome food
in the densely crowded quarters where only
the poorest people live rlay become epidsm-
ic and find their way in families who use
only the best Of everyth lg in the food line
Epidemics brought from. abroad may like
wise be aggravated and intensified from the
same cause There is every reason, there
fore, why proper measures should be taken
to prevent the sale of unfit articles of food.

Bayard's Tribute to the Democracy.
When Secretary Baya I'd was asked to ex
plain the tardiness of the administration in
making changes in federal offices, made an
swer that be could not afford to dispace
men in tho service except with men equally
good and accomplished as are the men now
in service, and intimatod that in the Dem
ocratic party it was difficult to find men of
polish, fair information, and of good man-
ners.
The greatest and the gravest reflection
upon the intelligence of the Democracy Of
Delaware is that it could have been bam-
boozled into sending one-rhomas Francis
Bayard-to the United States Senate for
three consecutive terms.

Bayard and Cleveland's Exclusive

ness.
President Cleveland wrapped the Presi-
dental toga arocnd about him and on last
Thursday issued the edict, that from this
time forward he would not be sat home" to
the pro;etariat. IF.
The only mission the Democrat plebeian
has in this world is to yell himself hoarse
aud then vote for men who dispise him the
moment the polls are closed.
Cleveland has publicly announced that he
will not give audience.to any more Demo-
cratic candidates, and Bayard states that
the average Democrat is altogether too illit-
crate and too vulgar for recognition, and
yet had it not been for the Democratic par
ty Messrs. Bayard and Cleveland would
never have been heard Of outside their
provincial circles.

The Philadelphia E0aRmg Telegraph a cen
! scientous Republican paper ridlcules the
Grant Depew narrative in these words:-
"It was perfectly natural that Col. Grant
should be anxious to substantiate Mr.. De-
pew's narrative regarding the Johnson
Grant affair, but it is evident that lie wrote
without due deliberation and consideration
to Mr., Depew ON the Goth inst when he
said: II have read your account with great
interest. 1t is substantially correct, and
have been able to verify the facts from doc
uments, letters and personal recollections. +"
That was what lie wrote on Tuesday and
published broadcast at the foot of Mr.. De-
pew's story on Wednesday,, But ON IT, lat
ter day, being closely pressed by repre-
sentative of the Herald to produce his docu-
ments letters and personal recollections,
he replies that sit was his intention SOM
day. If he had time, to put those personal
recollections into the form of narrative,
but that would involve references and ex-
aminations of papers that would require
loln ~
too much engaged with other matters to
give his attention to it,"
That is a most lane and impoteut conclu-
sion. On the morning Of the very day that
he made this statement of, he could if be

bility that he assumed when he declared
that President johnson was a double-dyed
traitor to his country, and that he had the
documents and letters to prove it, Under
such admissions as he has made in his inter
view with the Herald the whole story rests
upon nothing better, apparently, than tha,
clouded and distant recolleotier:S, u a Iovial

probable as it always was, and conflicting
as it was and is with all known historical
facts, the entire narrative should be relega-
ted to the wild realms of vicious imagina-

was not in favor of bloodthirsty policy is
proved easily. By the Presidents appro-

the same year as county Attorney for
Buncombe County, and two years la
ter, that Is, in 1854, when but twenty
four years old was chosen to repre-
sent his native county in the Lower
House of the Legislature. He was a
Member of Congress from his dis
trict in the Thirty-ffth and Thirty
sixth Congresses, and when the war
broke out he entered the Confederate
Army as captain, in May, 1861, and
two months later was made Colonel of
his regiment. He was elected Gov
ernor of North Carolina in August,
1862, and reelected in August, 1864
In November, 1870, he was elected to
the United States Senate, but was re-
fused admission, and resigned in Jan
uary, 1872, again In the same year
he was the Democratic nominee for
the United States Senate, but was de-
feated by combination of boiling
Democrats and Republicans. In 1876
he was for the third time elected Gov
ernor of North Carolina, and was
elected to the United States Senate ss
a Democrat IN place of Hon. A. S.
Merrimon, and took his seat March
18th, 1879. His recent reelection
took just exactly two minutes, and
was accomplished without discent-
ing voice, and without single speech,
SO far as the Democratic caucus was
COP cerned. His rev. term will
expire March 3 |, 1891.
