THE EDITORS CHAIR.
HOW THINGS LOOK FROM
OUR STAND POINT.
The Opinion Of The Editor and the
Opinion Of Others which we
Can Endorse on the Various
Topics of the Day.

We heartily endorse the following
from the Statesville Landmark:
The denomination Of Congress
man Henderson we take to be evil
dence Of an awakening on the part
OF the people to the fact, to which
they have too long been inadvertent,
that ability in Washington counts
for nothing without length of SER
vice. Everything there goes by Sc
niority. Many men of very mode
rate ability reach positions of COM
manding influence in Congress pure
ly by reason Of long service there
with its necessarily attendant famil-
iarity with usage, precedent and pub
lie aftairs-a familiarity which moth
ing but actual service car supply.
The further away our people get from
the idea that seat in Congress is
merely n personal reward bestowed
upon n popular favorite, the less
heedful they become of the cry Gro
tatiOn in Office r'-the cry of the
man who is Out--the better they will
be represented i'll Congress-; the bet.
ter will their public business be at
tended to.
The morning Hon. B. F. Grady was
nominated at Clinton, COngressmen
McClammy, who was defeated for
denomination, said that the district
had good and able man in Grady,
that we ought to keep him in Con-
grcss for ten years at least. These
words of truth McClammy spoke
like a patriot. He knew that the
wise districts kept a Congressman
long enough for him to be a man of
power and influence in the halls of
legislation. One good man in Con-
gress, who has served fifteen or
twenty Years, would have more
weight and could do the State more
good than nine new men.

MonkeY and Parrot Sale.

A small crowd of Italians and wharf
spectators hustled over the side of the
bark Anunciation Fomento as soon as
she was made fast, and in five minutes
an unearthly chattering began between
monkeys, parrots, buyers, and sellers.
There were only few monkeys, but
plenty of parrots, which were sold at
prices of from $3.50 to 81 each. The
largest parrot. which brought the top
price of 81, was beauty OF nearly twice
the ordinary size, and his observations
in Spanish created a great deal of
amusement among the sailors, who had
evidently been teaching him their par
lance The monkeys went at prices
from 50 to 81. The sale lasted twenty
minutes or so, at the end of which a
queer procession of swarthy Italians, a
dozen in number, who had been fortu-
nate enough to purchase, came over the
side of the vessel with their chattering
and sqnirming possessions, and vanished

ihoiographing - Wild Bear.

Since the Government allows no hunt
iny of game in the National Park, bruin
roamed unmOlcsted. But how to get the
bear i'll position for snap shot from the
camera was the question. The clerk
solved this. At certain hour the clerk
took a large portion Of meat from the
cooks box and left it ut a point at which
the bear was frequently seen. Raglan
followed with his camera. In due time
the bear came down from its retreat.
The clerk was a safe distance away when
the bear appeared, ut Ragan stood his
ground. The bear stood his ground until
the 0dor of the meat was waited his
way The bear made for the luncheon,
picked it up greedily, and then, as if
grateful for the feast, it reared on its
launches and remained i'll that attitude

to accommodate the artist, and the lat

Fine Crops in North Carolina.

A dispatch from Wilmington, N. c.,
says the present year will prove the
greatest crop season known in southeast
ern North Carolina in many years. and
the harvest of 1890 will be memorable
sor its abundance. While the fruit crop
has been almost an entire failure, the
yield of corn, cotton. potatoes, rice. and
peanuts will be unprecedented. The
watermelon crop has been the largest in
many years, and they have been unu-
sually large and sweet.
