nothing better than campaign on
the issue presented by the committee's
bill and the mInority's propositson-
a proposition that offers a stone in lieu
of bread, serpent in lieu of a fish a
proposition that insults the intelligence
Of the American people and makes the
great Republican party look meaner
and more contemplate than even its
enemies like to see it. We frankly
confess that it is mortifying to a
/ Democrat who is proud of his coun-
| try and glories in its history to see
/ great party. party with a record,
shrivel up with premature senility and
prove itself silly dotard on an oc.
[ casion when it ought to rise to the full
stature, physical and intellectual, of
/ vigorous manhood"
The above cannot prove very pleas
ant reading to the G. 0. P. in North
Carolina, and yet it lis strictly true.
| There is as much common sense in the
article as in any l have read for
long time. Judging from what have
learned recently from number of
sources, it is just and dispassionate
view of the situation. In closing, the
writer adds: ~
The situation is extremely cheer
fuI Just now, for the high tariff army
is on the run. 1t is demoralized and
panic stricken. Its old charms will
not work. The phrases with which
the apostles of high protection have
hitherto conjured us are worthless and
impoten as the idle wind. The most
gigantic system of robbery ever plan
ned by the brain of man tumbling
from its foundation Our friends in
the House have only to continue faith
tul 20 duty and the long prayed-for
| victory will come.
Meanwhile we bespeak for Mr..
Randall something ofindulgent chari-
| ty from his high tariff masters Why
lay the lash so pitilessly on his shout
dens, gentlemen He has served you
with rare fidelity. He is not respon-
sibie for the dwindling of his following.
Faie is against him and you. The
rig at is coming uppermost; justice is.
gong to be done Let Mr.. Randalk
: alone and, going tothe othter end of
the Capitol, devote your time to culti-
vatng the friendship of the distin-
guished Protective Democratic Sena-
tor who occupies the unique position
of being at the same time an eloquent
, advocate of protection to labor and an
: extensive lessee of convict labor.
,, This is true and generous, am glad
, to say. 1 never felt inclined to read
Sam Randall out of the party because
he was and is a protectionlst. His SER
vices to the party, aside from this issue,
his ability as a statesman, his tealty
as Democrat, his character as a man,
all entitle him to consideration and
forbesrance, even in the fightIof vital
Importance to the party.
Mr.. Grams constitutional amend
: ment changing the date ofinauguration
day and of Congressional terms was
defeated.
The opinion that the Chief Justice
: will be a Northwestern Democrat
!, gains ground. Of course he will be a
:, first rate lawyer.
q Miss Dora Jones, Vice Principal of
: Greensboro Female College, spent sew
eral days in this city last week. She
was the recipient of great deal Of
i attention from North Carolinians here.
q She is visiting the leading schools and
II studying the new methods in vogue
in this city, Baltimore and New York.
Senator Ransom exerted himself to
:, further her researcheG, and his strong
i letters of introduction she found of
i great assistance to her. Mrs. Senator
:. Vance made an appointment with
a Mrs. Cleveland for her to meet Miss
= Jones, Miss Louise Morehead, and
n other ladies. l think Miss Jones "trip
i cannot fail to be beneficial to the col
& lege. Having so admirable repre-
q sentative cannot fail to he creditable
|. to it, She is handsome, self-possess-
" ed, refined highly educated woman.
n She can hold herown against any typi-
% cal Boston school ma'am, so far as
~ culture goes, and | have seen few
whose personal presence was so pleas
n ing. Besides accomplishing the bust
= ness part of her mission, Miss Jones
# enjoyed the social phase of her visit
- very much. She made many new
:. friends who will not be likely to forget
b. her.

e. sion, and will take special course a

t's he was attending medical lectures il
he Charleston, S. c., he had case simila
h. to the one from which the Emperor o

-e. man got well, the tube was discarded
&c. and he is living and talking to-day
