Granville county.
a CORRESPONDENT of the Sanford Ex-
press, complimenting that paper for its
brightness and ability, adds:
The paper ought by all means to be made
larger. Its friends would like to see it (au
as early day as possible) made equal in
size and value to the STATE CHRONICLE.
HE Democratic newspapers that are
continually carping at and finding fault
with the party may be doing us lots of
good, but it is difficult to see where it is
The frequency with which these Demo
cratic papers are quoted by Republican
newspapers must be encouraging to those
before mentioned Democratic papers

THE only class division possible is be-
tween the man that works and he that
loafs-the business man and the tramp
and dead beat. Whether you work with
pick or pen, hoe corn or keep books, plough
the ground or engineer a bank, your cal
ling is an honorable one and does YOU
credit. He only is inferior who lives in
God S free air and bright sunlight listening
to the happy songs of birds and gazing on
earths sweet flowers, making no return to
nature for her gifts, working at no trade,
uttering no thought that will burn its
way into the hearts of mem 4 Factory

WALTER H. PAGE, ESQ, tells me one
thing about Cleveands administration
that has strengthened him with the better
class of people of all parties in New York.
1t is this: When man is an applicant
for office, if Cleveland finds out he cannot
earn an honest living and deeently sup
port himself and family, he refuses to
force such man on the government. In
short, he stoutly declines to make the
government offices a refuge for lazy dead
beats, and always gives preference to such
men as are able to take care of themselves,
men with energy and executive ability.
Cleveland has spotted some such ap-
do
and he resents having been imposed upon

WE SAY this straight: the man who
tries to induce the Democratic party of
North Carolina to retire from its well eS-
tablished position on the internal revenue,
is an enemy in disguise-it were better
that he should go over to the Republicans;
he would do US less harm. He who be-
lieves that the party can change front on
this question and live, is an ignoramus
about North Carolina politics he doesn't
know the people. You may call it exped-
iency, or what not, but if the party
swerves one hairs breadth from its all
the-time position on this question, it is
gone, You can just put that in your pipe
and smoke it. 1t is a question of con-
sistency and victory'on the one hand, and
of bad faith and defeat on the other. If
the Democratic party proves false to the
people on this vital question, it will take
from election day till Christmas to count
the majority against it. The Democratic
will not do it. [Statesville Landmark.
A LEADING LAWYER of the First District
writes: | subscribed to the CHRONICLE
while l was in attendance as a delegate to
the Democratic State Convention, in Au
gust, 1886. | wanted paper not entirely
subservient to political bossism, and not
afraid, at least occasionally, to express al
honest opinion; and | desired journa
that would be willing to recognize MAI
without first inquiring if he were moss
covered himself or in line with those who
were. Not that l object to counsel an(
advice from older heads, for their expert
ence makes them Cor should do so) capa
BILE of giving both; but felt then, as fee
now, that unless more liberation were
shown to newer ideas, and more recogni
ton given to those of US who, not having
reached or passed the meridian of life, art
not forever welded to by-gone notions
some party would soon come in and usurl
the thunder that we failed to appreciate
| wanted to see the CHRONICLE take tina
| ground, and so far as proper and sue
cessful management Of the paper woult
permit, | think, from what l have seen o
it, you have taken that position.
You TALK ABOUT inducing immigration
to North Carolina. l want you newspa
per men to do something to stop EMIGRA
TIoN away from North Carolina. Thes
young men that are leaving us every year
every month, every week, are the one
that we want to develop our resources
What can be done? 1t is not worth Will
to abuse the State and denounce the peo
pie Let US go to work to open up field
for the employment of these our yeoman
ry. l would not exchange one of them 70
ten of the ''immigrants" that are brought
Loving North Carolina as | do, bound t
her by local attachment that l some
times contemplate as foolish and absurd
this is a very painful thought TO me. Yol
