THE Charlotte Gazene Of to-day WEI
say: II is very evident that q contract
has been entered into between certain
leaders of the Republican party and
Mahone. In recognition OF bis claims
and for aid % be furnished him iu DIS
present canvass. ho is 10 deliver the
) ate of Virginia into the custody OF the
said Republican party. Even suppoa-
ing this contract 60 be carri1d Out in
good faith by both PARTIES, who are the
benefciariesy Perhaps the most inn
pOrtant question is, can the contract be
fulfilled The administration has
recognized him as The representative of
the party: It has given him control of
patronage: he has caused himself % be
nominated for Governor of the State
His election is matter Of grayest doubt.
But suppose he should be- elected. what
will the Republican party gain; Lmay
be said that when elected tOthc Senate,
the Republicans secured the Organizl-
ton of that body. But that was because
his single vote was an that was neces-
gary to secure that object. He demand
ed and secured patronage then. not for
the advantage OF the Republican party
but for himself. Ills influence was lot
given for the election of Harrison and
Morton. Should he succeed now. il
will not be the administration. the Re-
publican party. or the people of Nir-
ginia. who will be benefited. or even
those who aid him. but Malone alone. -

So General Malone gets out that story
about General Lee wishing to designate
him as his successor. The point is par
ticularly forcibe that the story was
never heard until after General Lee S
death and if any Confederate ofiicersup-
poses that General r. L. Lee, the knight
ly soldier, could for one moment tolerate
an association with Billy Malone, or an
acknowledgement Of such man as a
gentleman, as Southern gentlemen un-
dsrstood it then, that Confederate Of
ficers must have come from very dii-
ferent social production from mat OF
Robert Lee, but Malone knows that
Just as well as anybody.
We do not detach from General Ma

edged him as a gentleman.

POPULAR EDUCATION. - And now
comes one Rev. j. r. Hendrick with a
magazine article to prove that popular
education is not q good thing, because
it makes "the children OF the poor dis
contented with their lot IN life. con-
temptuous of manual labor, and ayerse
to those pursuits in which they are the
most needed, and would be the most
happy" That representative of Him
whom the common people heard SO
gladly should SO pompously deny to the
common people the simple boon OF an
education, is evidence that the reverend
gentleman is far behind the times

TIE NAVY. OLD AND NEw.-The Bal
timore Herald, reviewing the.history of
the navy under the old Republican Job
system and the new Democratic plan
given to it by Cleveland and Whitney.
says that ten years ago the 50 called
United States navy was standing re-
proach among civilized nations. II was
a subject of never-ending merriment
everywhere. and nothing served 50 well
to turn joke or point shaft of ridi-
Guile as some reference 10 Our Amari-
can Navy And well it might. for it
consisted OF scarce two-score supeTand-
ated wooden ships that were hardly
safe to attempt voyage from New
York to Liverpool.
But, at present, besides the steel
cruisers are the double-turreted moni-
tors, five in number, some Of which are
now building. To these must be added
the gunboats Yorktown and Petrol, the
bennington and Concord, the two for
mer OF which are nearly ready for SER
vice. And to close the list may be
mentioned the two steel-armored bat
tleships Maine and Texas. which are
expected 10 be the most effective war
ships ever constructed.
Thus it will be seen that our country
is on the way to q large and powerful
navy.

to hundred. This town is filled

the centre of this attraction is To-
Gated Deegan & Farrell's Hotel
which is a fine three story building

people. A full house there is quite
