A Friendly Rivalry, But Nothing
Moro

While with us Henderson has been
first always, and while the GOLD LEAF
has not been slow to repudiate any
wrong OF injustice done its town, and
has persistently championed its cause
first, last and all the time, it has not
sought to do so to the disparagement OF
disadvantage of any other place. AS
regards our neighboring towns. we
have sanctioned and encouraged spirit
of friendly rivalry, and nothing more.
We have recognized no cause for petty
iealousies, and certainly fail to see why
there should be any ill-will one toward
another. And we are glad to say our
| people entertain the same feeling. Ii
there is any longer cherished aught but
GOOD will and spirit Of friendliness it
exists outside the limits of Henderson.
But we believe the day for this sort Of
thing is past; we will not think our
neighbors are less fair-minded and gener-
Gus than we are.
Commenting on what we had to say
about Oxford last week with reference
to the forthcoming illustrated trade
edition of the Public Ledger, the bright
and newsy little Day says this:
We reproduce below some kind and
complimentary words of Oxford which we
fad in this weeks GOLD LEAF. These are
called forjh by the announcement OF an
industrial edition of the Public Ledger, ou1
energetic city contemporary, has in con-
temptation.
Mr.. Thad Manning has a soul above
petty jealousies, and sees merit where
: merit exists and commends it when ht
sees it.
: Henderson is hardly less enterprisine
than Oxford, although it may lack thai
unity of action among it's citizens which
has accomplished SO much here. We hay
proved the truth of the old saw, I'll
union there is strength Both towns
have made wonderful progress, and RAM
|. among the livest in the State. Both ar
associated together in the minds Q
strangers, and praised jointly. Th
rivalry existing between the two places
S now that it is almost entirely shorn OF 1t
old-time bitterness, is mutually helpful
stimulating each to greater efforts. :
new enterprise started in Oxford mean
the Inauguration of a similar one in Her
i derson, and vice versa. Perhaps IN tn
. future our borders may touch, and tn
Il cou1 terparts of st. Paul and Mnneapoll
s will be reproduced in North Carolina.

Desecrating the Sacred Rites of Matri
mOny.

One Of the ''drawing cards'' at the
State Fair last week was the marriage
of NJ. VIM. NJ. Bateman and Miss
Josephine Knowles, both of the Eastern
part of the State. The novel feature
of the thing was the fact that the con-
tracing parties and their attendants
were dressed in suits of cotton bagging
and the ceremony was publicly per-
formed at the grand stand on the fair
| grounds. The affair was extensively
! advertised and great crowd was drawn
thither on Tuesday to witness the
sscotton bagging wedding" Mr.. Bate
man and Miss Knowles travelled all the
way from their homes and were prompt
| ly on hand to carry out their part OF
the days programme as arranged by
the shrewd managers of the fair. We
commend the zeal and enterprise OF
those whose business it was to make
the State Fair success as far as pos
sible. but we took no part in this par
ticular feature of it and did not adveS-
tise it any. That is not our idea OF
marriages, though we have nothing
} to do with the way other people ceie-
brate the event. The marriage VOW is
too sacred and solemn thing in ou
opinion to be made the occasion for 9
grand elbow OUT for an agricultural
fair for the sake o. a few dollars wortf
: of cheap presents. AS the Wilmington
Star says:
= While matters of this kind are governed
4 by custom and the tastes of the parties
$ marriage is such sacred thing that i
p should be performed with due sole,nnity
and not be made matter of show at I
promiscuous public gathering such as
2 fair, where it becomes one OF the attrac
q tons to draw the crowd.
< Mr.. and MIS-. Bateman have our pro
h foundest sympathy. May their marie
!, relations be long and happy, and ma
:, they end more pleasantly than the
e have begun.

The prisoners (the white man Rob
ards and the negro Hayes) convicted Of
burglarizing Lehlnan's store and SEN
fenced to ten years each in the peniten-
tiary, who escaped from custody last
week, as reported in the GOLD LEAF,
have been caught. The sheriff and a
posse began hunting for them immedi-
ately after they got away Wednesday
evening and in every direction the
searching party went for miles around.
Sheriff Smith rode day and night and
went over into Virginia looking for
the run-aways, besides offering re-
ward of 800 each for their capture.
Thursday afternoon negro came in
from the Bear Pond neighborhood and
reported having seen Richards. John
Quarles and Joe Swain went at once il

woods after hot chase on horseback
having first seen him walking alons
the railroad in broad daylight. The
negro was caught in Oxford. Deput.
Sheriff Powell went up in response to
telegram and brought him here Frida

Recent Nominations.

Mr.. ROBERT LINCOLN gets the English
mission; Mr.. MURAT HALsTEAD the mis-
sion to Germany; Mr.. ALLEN THORNDYKE
RICE, proprietor of the North american Re
vie,D, the mission to st. Petersburg, and
Mr.. PATRICK EGAN the mission to Chill.
Mr.. LINCOLN is appointed, of course, be-
cause he, like FRED GRANT, is ''the son OF
his father" and for no other reason. But,
unlike FRED GRANT, Mr.. LINCOLN is a
reputable gentleman, and while he cannot
be expected to distinguish himself
in the conspicuous post which has been
filed by many of the greatest men in our
history, there is no reason to apprehend
that he will do anything to bring dis
credit upon himself or his country. He
is gentleman of very moderate abilities,
whose only experience in public affairs
was as the incumbent of the least i'm
portant seat in the cabinets of GARFIELD
and ARTHUR. His appointment is not so
Objectionable as most of those which have
been made by President HARRISON. AS an
appeal to the powerful sentiment which
clusters around the name of LINCOLN, it
may even pass for shrewd politics. But
the principle upon which it is made is ut
terly un-American, and we cannot be-
lieve that the masses of the people will APP
prove of it. In republic, men should
not be given official preferment on the
strength of their "daddies." Their own
merits should be the only passport to such
distinction. And no one will claim for one
moment that if "BoB" LINCOLN bore an
other name he would be even thought of
for any important Office.
Out of journalistic courtesy" Mr..
MURAT HALsTEAD will be pleasantly
spoken of by many newspapers. Never
theless, Mr.. HALsTEAD is a bad man.
He publishes one of the most venal and
scurrilous newspapers in the United States.
He long ago abandoned all pretense of
having any convictions, and openly
avowed his purpose Of making his paper
pay, regardless of ethical considerations.
His heart has been for years set upon a
foreign mission, and the amount OF dirty
work he has done to attain his souls de-
sire is simply appalling. The disgust
which is awakened by the honor that has
been paid this most unworthy man is
somewhat mitigated by the fact that it
takes out of the country for four years
one whose absence will be distinct gain
to decent journalism.
Mr.. ALLEN THoRNDYKE RICE is young
man of large wealth and fine education,
who divides his time between editing the
North American Review, playing polo and
leading the german. His appointment is
presumably made in recognition" of a
seriesof unspeakably brutal and infamous
attacks upon the personal and official
character of President CLEVELAND, which
Mr.. RICE wrote and printed in his Reviea0
some months ago under the signature of
arthur Richmond"
Mr.. PATRICK EGAN is a man of ability,
who has been prominently identified with
the home-rule movement in Ireland. and
is favorably known to this country. He is
afflicted With the delusion that the way to

day, and that it is the duty of everybody
to assume the legal correctness of a
judges rulings, and to respectfully ac-
quiesce therein. This is rank nonsense,
and dangerous nonsense. The law is not
such a mysterious science as many would
like to make il appear. Enlightened
common sense and simple honesty of pur-
pose are the best guides in its interpre-
tation. The faculties of a person of
average intelligence may be safely trusted
to conduct him to a correct conclusion
upon such questions as Judge WooDs has
been deciding during the past few days.
And it does not require even average in
teligence to measure Judge WOODS &C
tons in these election cases by the stand
ards himself supplied in the CoyBern-
hamer trials, with the result of placing
him lower in the moral scale than the
worst OF the men whom he is using his
judicial power to protect against the just
punishment of their crimes.
We are preparing, and will print at an
early day, complete transcript of Judge
WOODS record in the tally-sheet cases.
This record will reveal him as a jurist
consumed with zeal for the punishment of
election frauds; urging with all the vigor
at his command the indictment of persons
accused of such frauds; denouncing a
grand jury in unmeasured terms for
falling to return such indictments; re-
newing his efforts to obtain indictments
from successive grand juries; helping with
his own hand to draw the indictments
upon whose sufficiency he was to pass as
judge; assisting to secure evidence against
the accused; brushing away with a simple
wave of his hand all the technical objec-
lions raised by the counsel for the de-
PENDANTS to the form of the indictments;
browbeating witnesses for the defense;
intimidating petit juries; taking witnesses
out of the hands of counsel and con-
Quoting their examinations himself in
the sole interest of the prosecu-
ton; re-convenlng a grand jury
to perfect indictments when flaws had de-
veloped which might have led TO a re-
versal in the courts above; charging juries
III Tie IuOSI NlOleuG anu eAIeuo bSlLHS
against the defendants, and affecting at
every stage in the proceedings, a zeal for
the purity of elections and the punish
ment of offenders against the ballot-box,
entirely too ELUSIVE to be becoming in a
judge charged with the trial OF persons
accused of such offenses-
Measured by the standards set up
by himself in these trials, what
kind of a figure does Judge WOODS
present to-day? Let honest men, Of
whatever party, answer, as they would
answer to their own consciences for an
individual transgression. If what he has
done in behalf of DUDLEY and the other
persons charged with these crimes is not
wrong, then nothing is wrong. Falsehood
is not wrong, nor SANDER, nor theft, nor
perjury, nor arson. There are no moral
distinctions The terms right and wrong
are variable, and conscience is mere
barren ideality.

Why Egan Doesn't Fit.

Mr.. WILLIAM Z. CURTIS, the Washing
ton correspondent of the Chicago Ners, is
recognized as the best authority in this
country on South American affairs. He
was secretary of the commission ap-
pointed by President ARTHUR to visit
South America in the interest of COM
mercial relations between it and the
United States, and in that capacity spent
some time on that continent visiting
every South American country. He has
written book on South America which
is the standard authority on its subject.
In telegram to the Chicago Nelcs he
SAYS:
The assignment of Mr.. EGAN to the CHILEAN
mission is very remarkable for he is not
diplOmatist or a lawyer. The relations be-
tween the United States and Chill are very
much strained, and only the most delicate
diplomacy can prevent further complications
without resort to arms. The CHILEAN govern
ment has positively refused to pay the claims
OF citizens of the United States for losses grow
Ing out OF the war with Peru, although 1t has
settled in full the claims of citizens of all other
nationalltles- 1t has refused to pay citizens OF
the United States on the ground that this cOun-
try gave aid and comfort TO Peru during the
struggle, and will persist in a refusal until
forced to pay. 1t will require the highest de-
gree OF diplomacy TO sustain the dignity OF this
government and avoid a war.
As the only issue in Chilli, in Mexico is
the catholic church, Mr.. EGAN's appointment
is inappropriate. But he is not at present in
good standing with the church. While he has
not been formally accommodated, he has
been for two or three years in bitter con-
troversy with Bishop O'CoNNoR of Nebraska,
who holds that the land league and all kindred
organizations are in violation OF the tenets of
the church.
Another reason why Mr.. EGAN should not
be sent to Chill is because that country is
nothing more than an English colony. The
relations between Chill and England are very
close; most of the capital engaged in COM
merce, manufacturing and mining is English,
and nearly all the prominent merchants at
Valparaiso are from the same country. Mr..
EGANs relations to the British government
are well known, and he may expect cool
reception in Chill on that account
1t looks very much, after all, as if Mr..
EGAN were misft. 1t is said to be a
question whether he is really a citizen of
the United States. He got his first papers
only fifteen months ago and has never got
his second papers. Nebraska papers say
that, while he has been an active repub-
lican, he has never voted, either in
Nebraska or anywhere else.
