TRIBUNETS.
A rELraRAPHIc RI.rrnER-


A young telegrapher, slowly recovering from
the effects of a terrible pounding by his Train
master, is wondering whether his upward
course in his profession will be attended by
frequent recurrence of such incidents. It all
came about in this way Mr.. Frank Lindwall,
which is the telegrspher's name, was acting as
a substitute for a sick operator at Wichita,
Kan. Billy Calvin, horseman at Mulyane
WAS thinking of buying mare named Jennie
Marvin" which had made some reputation at
Kansas fairs and telegraphed to Fred Latin,
friend Of his at Wichita for more definite
information In regard to her. At the same
time Trainmaster Carver was keeping an anxi-
Gus lookout on the movements of Miss Jennie
McPhee. a young belle Of Anthony, Kan,
whom 1t Is rumored he is going to marry, and
who was at that time on q visit to another town,
but expected TO return home. The Trainmaster
sent telegram TO tho operator to notify him
In regard to her. This was the answer he re-
ceived:
wIsHIrA, Nov. 22-old boy, have nothing to do
with Jennie IL you take my advice. know her
WE'LL have frequently had her IN my suky. She
has a viainous temper. and has more than once
kicked the dashboard. At the Abilene
fair in October she kicked Tom O'BSien Ia the jaw
and landed him In the judges stand am well
aware that she Is fast. but not probably So She
will never bring you In dollar as the result of her
spurts. Her reputation WAS bad before going into
Harvey's stable and you can see that she has had

When he read it he became n volcano Of bad
language. This not sufficing to relieve him, he
side-trscked . paSssAger-train. called out .
special engine, and went to Wichita as fast as
steam could carry him. The innocent teleg-
rapher, calmly pounding away at his instru-
ment was astounded by the Eruption Of the
maddest man he ever saw, who Immediately
proceeded to wreck the Office furniture with
his youthful form. After having worn himself
but not his wrath out the irate Trainmaster put
another operator in charge and returned home,
leaving poor Frank Lindwall to recover a.
best he could. In the meantime the horseman
received this kilograms

He at once closed the bargain for the mare,
who proved 70 be Q terror and all that his
friend had said. The explanation was that
the young operator had accidentally turned
the switch Of the commercial line on that Of
the roads, and rice rersG.

confusion can hardly fail to attend
a government formed to satisfy SO
many organized appetites.
No possible distribution of the
existing surplus, or of any new sur
plus raised by higher taxes, can
please all the conflicting interests
that are getting ready to assert
themselves at Washington. It will
be Mr. Hal rison's duty as much as
possible to paeify his impatient sup
porters. Discord in and out of the
cabinet will be all the more appa'
rent from its contrast with the har,

THE PUBLIC PAP.

The Washington correspondent
to the Statesville Landmark sends
that paper the following bit of Cos
sip regarding the distribution of the
federal offices in North Carolina.
"The North Carolina leaders of
the G. o. P. are already quarreling
over the Offices to be given out by
the incoming administration. l am
reliably informed that Hamilton
Ewart, the new Republican mem
Der from the ninth district, and DIR.
Mott claim that they have the whole
affair in their own hands. Ewart
has already rented house here on
Sixth street and moved bis family
in to stay until March 4th, 1891.
Ewart and Mott have constituted
themselves paternal supervisors, as it
were, of the balance Of the crowd
and here is part of their program
Imprinis, Messrs, Brewer, Nichols
and Cannady are to be showed I'M
der and relegated to the back ground.
This viii prove hard job (but that
is not my lookout). Having per-
formed this Herculean feat, however,
here Is the official slate in part, In
the western district Patterson is to
be collector; George Smathers is to
be district attorney, with DIR. Motifs
son as assistant; Boyle is to be
United States marshal. Who's
.Boyle?1 In the eastern district Col.
r. 2. Young is to be collector, the
place SO long held by his brother,
the late Col. Ike Young; Tom Dey-
ereux is to be district attorney Loge
Harris United States marshal; O.
III. Dockery Consul General TO Liv-
erpool;l Victor Dockery, a son of
my son Oliver is to be Secretary
of Legation at Paris. Richmond
Pearson is to be Solicitor General,
Pritchardson is to be Assistant Com
missioner of Patents, &c, &C., &c.
Fine program, is it not? The most
difficult feat is the first one, however,
viz: showing under gannady, Mich
eols and Brewer. 1t is worse than
jumping over six bareback horses.
Returning to the circus figure of
speech Ewart and Mott will have to
be practiced political acrobats to do
it. Cannady will be sure to kick

THE ELECTION LAW BILL.

We note with pleasure, the fact
that the bill to amend the election
law of this State passed the State
Senate last Saturday by the decisive
vote of 81 to ID. The bill now
goes to the House where we trust it
will meet with as hearty an endorse
ment from the members of that body.
1t is an eminently wise and just
measure embodying the principal
features of the South Carolina,
Georgia and Arkansas laws calcu-
lated to purify the ballot and sup
press the voting Of igporant .mobs
of men who are often driven to the
polls by designing politicians and
voted as SO many sheep. Every

JUDGED BY IT'S NEWSPAPERS.

The Wilmington Messenge, Of
last Saturday contains the following
editorial
awe know, by common report,
that Winston, Reidsville and Hem
derson are live business towns, but
one would not conclude so from the
advertising columns of their news
papers. We know that the business
people of those places are making
mistake in thus concealing from the
general public the business enter
prise of their towns, for however
we'll ceatain of their customers and
correspondents may know all about
the merit and extent of their pro-
ducts and trade, there are many
more who do not, and there are
hundreds of men of money and en-
terprise who every year examine
the local papers of all North Caro-
lima towns, in pursuit of good in
vestments, and are often turned
away toward other States on account
of the poor advertising shown in the
newspapers generally, of our State"
The above is true as Holy Writ,
and for sometime we have been la
boring to impress this fact upon our
business men.
The advertising columns of the
leading newspaper of every town
and city should be complete direc-
tory of the business of the place in
which it is published. No live bus
mess house can afford to go unrep-
resented in this industrial reflex OF
the city, and we are glad to say that
| some of our business, men, who had
not before advertised in our columns
have recently come to an apprecia-
ton of this fact.
But there are merchants and
manufacturers in Wipston-Salem
who do not advertise their business
and their wares. Gentlemen, we
desire to place your business before
| the reading public-it is to your in
terest as we'll as ours.

THE POLITICAL OUTLAW.

The bill to remove the disabilities
of w. w. Holden was very proper
" defeated in the House of Repre-
sentatives last week.
Forty-five members voted for the
bill, however, and as there are only
80 Republicans in the House, ard
some of them were not present at
the time, it is evident that a dozen
or more Democrats voted to remove
Holden's disabilities. This fact
causes the Wilmington Star to OBJ
serve:
1t is surprise that 45 members of
Democratic House could be found
to vote to relieve Ex-Governor Hol-
den of his political disabilities. They
surely have never'read the trial or
heard of the doings of the Radical
Governor in those warm, volcanic,
high-handed days of 1869, when
the best men were caught up by
cut threats acting under the orders
of servant of the people, and after
being ANONYMOUSLY treated and
abused and threatened, were sent to
prison and guarded by thieves and
cut-throats. AS good and truthful
man as we know testified that he
heard these miscreants plotting the
ravishing of the women of Yancey-
vile, the killing of the prisoners,
and the burning of the town in the
event that the outraged people at
tempted to rescue Judge Kerr, DR..
Roane, Hon. Josiah Turner, Mr..
Bow and others. It is shame that
such a vote as that referred to was
given by members of North Caro-
lima Legislature. Mr.. Holden has
boosted that if he had to 60 over his
life he would act again as he did
when clothed with little brief au-
thority." No tyrant in Turkey Or
Russia ever carried it with higher
hand than this Republican Govern
or, who had been trained in the
school of State Rights, did in the
sickening and gloomy days of 1869.
In his letter he protests that he was
highly patriotic when she was vio-
lating the sacred rights of freemea.'
It is Indeed surprising, Bro
Kingsbury, and it is a source Of re-
greet to us that Charles M. Cooke
of Franklin, should have led the
small Democratic contingent which
voted for the bill. We are friends
OF Mr. Cooke, and our friendship
for him leads us to say that we very
much regret that he should have
seen fit to advocate such bill OF
the floor of the House.
Let Holden live the ignominious
life he created for himself, and, dy-
ing, let him die the death of obliv-
ion which so well fits his case. aan4a
The less said about him and his
misdeeds the better for him and the
unsavory memory he will leave be.
hind-for there will be none so poor
to do him reverence. :
