public utterances, and deals with many
questions OF important public concern.
Among these are several pertaining to
practical affairs Of the farm, discussed In
an intelligent manner; the problem Of
the evils OF monopoly; power Of the
grange organization as eflecting legisla-
ton Ia behalf Of agriculture, and other
broad topics. But little space il given to
private history, work and polity of the
Organization, and still less concerning its

its entirety highly eloquent treatment,

II. W. Grady Is y master Of sounding
phrase, and Is. perhaps. not imp, operly
called "the young man eloquent of the
south" Two Of his recent speeches are
calling forth considerable comment, and
would seem to indicate that the great
orator is strangely Influenced by locality
and the sympsthies Of his audience. In
his recent Boston speech he said
~ was consequently reminded Of that,
and was forced to tell my friends that |
could not think Of speaking on top Of
Plymouth Rock without a rest. But |
said this, and want to say IL here now,
for never knew how true 1t was until had
heard myself say 1t, and had taken the evil
dence Of my voice as well As my thoughts.
! want to say this-that there Ia no spot
on earth that had rather have seen than
that. Ihave got boy who Is the pride
and the promis" Of my life, and God knows
! want him to be \ good citizen and good
man, and there Is no spot In all this broad
republic. nor In all this world. on which
| had rather have him stand to learn the
lessons Of citizenship, Of individual liber-
ty, Of fortitude, Of heroism and justice,
than the spot on which stood this morn

In u speech at Atlanta q short time be-
fore. Mr.. Grady thus referred to Americas
arch traitor:

life. and there is no man living or dead to
the base Of whose statue would send him |
sooner to learn the duties of citisen aud
patriot than the statue Of the golden |

PRESIDENT HARRISON'S IFAUGU
RAJ.

We bave waded through the Presi-
dents inaugural address, and have
only short space now for hurried
comment. He speaks in no uncer~
tain tones for the continuation Of a
protective tariff, and says the pro>
clama.ion Of freedom OF the slaves
kind.el the mill fires OF manufacto
ries.
He does not propose a special
policy for any section ofthe country
apart from the other.
Thus in the very first lines Of his
administration we see an attempt at
Southern reconciliation. On cleo
tons he speaks for the purity Of the
ballot, thing which we only wish
he and his party could have seen be-
fore the broadcast Of Doodle in last
November that made him now the
President Of this great people whose
rights he promises to guard.
To his own party In the matter of
appointments, he says:
'Honorable party service will certainly
not be esteemed by me a disqualification
for public office, but it will in no case be
allowed to serve as a shield of official neg
hgonce, incompetency or delinquency. 1t
is entirely creditable to seek public office
by proper methods and with proper mo-
tives, and all applicants will be treated
with consideration, but | shall need, and
the heads of departments will need, time
for inquiry and elaboration. Persistent
importantly Will not therefore be the best
support of an application for office"
SO those persistent, halfstarved
wolves who are on tip-toe expectancy
for appointments fHd themselves
menaced in the outset with disap
pointment, if they nettle Mr.. Har
rison in any way through their
clamorous opportunities.
He does not strike q pleasant
chord for the South when he says of
pensions: "Our pension laws should
give g more adequate and discrlmi-
mating relief to Union soldiers and
sailors, and to their widows aud
orphans. Such occasion as this
should remind US that We owe every
thing to their valor and sacrifice"
The South does not take to pen
sioning the hordes of the North and
Mr.. Harrison better be careful here
he has thus far kept his own
secret as TO his cabinet, and we can
not even conjecture his course as 6
national ruler. We shall simply see
what we shall see.
The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1889-03-07
WHY NOT DO TEsE FAIR
THING, BRETHREN:

We hope we are rot stuck up about
any thing we write, but we agree
with the Wilmington Sttr in a recent
editorial brief, when it advocates
full and fair credit TO every paper
that is clipped from. Oae of Chas.
A. Dana's journalistic maxlms is :
"Copy nothing from another publica-
ton without complete credjt"
One Of our exchanges Up In the
sandy region copied what we wrote
two weeks ago concerning the busi>
ness man who does not advertise,
and simply marked the credit "Ex.n
The same paper says, 'the following
clipped from the Belden, Texas,
Monitor, &C" leaving the impression
that its own editor clipped directly
from the Texas paper. We had just
read the Monitor from Texas and
clipped from it. It's one of our
regular exchanges and q good one
too. We wonder if our contemper-
ary in the sandy region exchanges
with the Moo:tor? We prefer to
give full credit every time to whats
ever exchange We clip from. though
sometimes we credit eek" when it
is so credited in the paper we clip
from. We give full credit when we
clip direct.

and by following those conditions
they will often save time and trouble.
IfA applies for license for B, and

or must prove to the Register that
he is acquainted with b.
This, or certificate from the per

Deceased was about 80 years old ,
and was a man OF fine traits, and

limited, but he always impressed US
as being young man OF deep piety,
and careful and thoughtful.
He had during the cold nights re-

he was carried home, on the follow.
