An Old Lie Still Living.
We notice that some of the more
radical OF the Northern Republican
papers are rehashing that old false
hood about the late jefferson Davis
having been dressed in woman's
clothes when captured after the war.
This report, always denied, was eff
fectually exploded seven years ago.
There was then, and is now, living
in Raleigh james Jones. colored, at
present member of the board of
aldermen, who was the body-servant
of Jefferson Davis. and who was with
Mr.. Davis at the time of his capture.
Learning this fact. the New York
Herald instructed Mr.. Maxwell Cor
man, of this city, then resident of
Raleigh and at the time North Car
DINA correspondent of the Herald, to
interview Jones on the subject of Mr..
Davis capture. This he did, pub
fishing a column and a half inter-
view in the Herald, which was after
wards copied all over the North, ow-
ing to which fact there is no excuse
for the lying statement now going
the rounds of the rabid sheets men,
toned.
Jones positively denied that Mr..
Davis had on a single article Of wo.
mems apparel, except shawl which
Mrs. Davis threw over his shoulders
| as he left the tent in an effort to
escape. The night was a rainy one
and Mr.. Davis was suffering from q
severe cold, hence this precaution on
the part of his devoted wife.
That shawl is absolutely the only
basis for the lie which has been pro
pagated in the North for the last
| quarter of century.

A MIDSUMMER TALE.
How a Young Man Buried Eleven Cats in
Two Weeks.

How a Young Man Buried Eleven Cats in
Two Weeks.
A short time ago the EVENING jour
NAL published an anecdote entitled THE
Tale Of Cat, concerning the Intellectual
efforts Of young man to poison cat
that had been bit by a mad dog. This
young man is responsible for the
''ground plan" Of the following catas-
trophe. The tale begins about Thursday,
July Is. when the mother Of the young
man asks him to bury one Of the cats
which died the night before. Three
days passed, two more cats died.
The only event Of Importance on Sun
day, July 81, was that no more
cats had died. There were then four left.
Everything ran along smoothly until
Wednesday last, when three cats arrived
upon the scene Of action, and an old
crosseyed black tabby which had resided
with the family last summer returned
and proceeded to remove one of the kit
tens. Then the young man killed the
erosseyed cat and buried the murderess
and victim. Meantime another kitten
died. 1t went the way Of its compan

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
Reform and RepublicAnism.

New York Herald
II gives one an odd feeling to read Mr..
Harrison's s ante election pledge to vigor-
ously enforce the civil service laws,
which the wicked and abominable Demo
Gratis had Indignantly ignored, and then
turn to the statistics to find that Clark
son has removed about thirteen thousand
of the lesser postmasters since March 4.
After studying this puzzle-it is worse
than Pigs in Clover-we have at last
found the solution. Follow us closely
and see how easily we can let the light in
on dark subject;
First-The Republican party believes
in civil service reform, with might, main,
muscle, perquisites and 'infooence
Second-But not under present adverse
circumstances. Like St. Augustine, who
in his wild and dissipated youth prayed
fervently, 30 Lord, make me good; make
me good, o Lord-but not yet" the Re
publicans propose to have all the reform
/ they can hod-"but not yet, o Lord. -
| Third-They will begin the reform in
dead earnest when they have turned all
the Democrats out Of Office and turned
all the Republicans in.
Fourth--When they have captured
every lucrative position which can tar
the Treasury they will proclaim their be
lief that civil service reform is absolutely
necessary to the preservation Of this
government; and
Fifth-That the Republicans, being IL
Office, ought TO stay there, even II the
Democratic party wins the game in 1892
II that isn't a good solution of the
problem we should like to hear Of bet
| ter one.

ONE of the principal matters that will
engage the attention Of the next Congress
is the internal revenue laws. The plat
form Of the Republicans pledged that
party to a reduction of these taxes, or If
found necessary their total repeal, and
acting on this twelve Of the Republican
Congressman from the Southern states
have agreed to oppose any man for
speaker who is not pledged to repeal the
internal revenue laws. We think this
is nothing more than right, and sincerely
wish that their example will be followed
by others There can be but one opinion
in reference to this tax, and that Is that
It should be repealed as soon as possible
The necessity for it has passed long
ago, and it Is burden ON our people that
they should not be called upon to bear

The internal revenue laws impose
taxes on whiskey and tobacco chiefly.
What would be the benefit of making
cheaper whiskey and tobacco luxuries,
while the taxes remain the same on the

are recognized as legitimate and proper
taxables by all political economists. The
truth Is the Republicans do not wish Il
reduce the taxes at all and they only
propose TO do it-not for the benefit o.
Of the people-but because twelve Repub
