The time has gone by when one or two ma

earth can hold undisputed the dominion OF

handled on distant enterprises is presenting
awkward complications for the old estab-

that Manchester In England would have the

A few days ago the Argus alleged that the
appointment of Mr., Isaac w. Dyer to the
District Attorneyship was reward for po-
lItical services. That is not so. Mr.. Dyer's
political services, whatever they may have
been. did not constitute the ground of his
appointment Mr.. Dyer was appointed be-
cause the bar, not only of this county, but
also of almost all the counties in the State,
very strongly recommended him. He had
among his endorsers some of the most prom
inent judges and lawyers in the State, and of
course their recommendations had and de-
served to have great weight. 1t is further
alleged by the Argus as reason why Mr..
Dyer should not have been appointed that he
has not had an extensive practice in the
courts. That allegation might have been
urged against the present incumbent, but we
believe nobody denies that he has made an
admirable officer and performed the duties
Of his Office to the entire satisfaction of the

knowledge and ability is not the frequency
with which he appears in court. Some Of
the best lawyers of the country rarely make
their appearance In courts. Some of the
ablest lawyers in this city are rarely seen in.

man has received, as Mr.. Dyer has, testimo-
malls, many of them of the strongest charac-
ter. from the most distinguished members OF
his profession as to his fitness for the office,
that question is settled in the only way il
can be settled. except by actual trial. And
when the trial comes we have no doubt that
1t will be shown that the gentlemen who SC

While certain American newspapers and
politicians and so called economists are busy
with tongue and pen and printing press
spreading abroad the idea that America is
slowly, but surely going to dogs, and a state
of universal pauperism, people on the other
side Of the ocean are teaching quite diff r
ent lesson. They regard America as gol-
den land of promise where fortunes may be
picked up In the street at almost any hour of
the day or night. When they find that only
ordinary wealth can be found here they are
nightly surprised. Tomasso Salvini is the
most conspicuous example Of this at present

Although Maine has, as yet, had little trou-
BILE from the ''original package" decision, our
sister prohibition State OF Iowa is having
great deal of trouble A Des Moines des-
patch of recent date sets forth the following
deplOrable state of affairs;
The original package business in Des Moines IS
booming. Twelve places are open, with stocks
on hand, although they seem to need frequent re-
plenishing The sales of one house are said to
have been $500 the first day. One cannot step
into the freight yard of any OF the main railway
lines without seeing from two to six refrigerators
of beer standing upon the side track waiting to be
unloaded. No attempt has been made to inter-
fere with these places of business and none is ex-
pected to be made. Mayor Campbell says he in
tends to stop the sale of liquor In Des Moines,
meaning the retail traffic by the drink. but this
effort so far has been signally futile. The saloons
are still in business, and evidently expect to con-
tlnue. Most of the towns of the State are yield
ing their opposition to original package sales, and
IN six months II is predicted, nearly all the cities
OF Iowa VIII have licensed them and will thus
make the best of what cannot be prevented.
This Is free rum. And If this campaign is
pushed to its conclusion 1t will be free rum
everywhere, in license as well as prohibition
States. Congress cannot afford to neglect to
pass some one of the bills now before 1t.

GREENSBORO, n. c., April 8. $780,
The colored mass meeting OF independ-
ent republicans met at II a. M, Dennis
Yancey presiding. A good audience
was present, and all speakers abused
the administration, Congress and Hon.
J. NJ. Brewer.
The set speech was by Rev. Mr.
Grandson, Principal of Bennett Semi
nary, where the notorious Joiner always
makes his headquarters when i'll our
city.
Grandson said he did not advise any
negro to vote the democratic ticket; but
said it was time for them to quit voting
for republicans, just because they were
put out on the republican ticket. He
said they must vote for the men, who
they believed were their best friends.
He denounced the administrator for
its failure to properly recognize the ne
gro, and called Jim Harris, of your city !,
some hard names charging him with
working against his race for pay.
He went for Congress for it's defeat
of the Blair bill, and said if the negro
wanted friends among the whites they
must seek them here IN the South, as
the Yankee was no friend Of the negro.
He abused Brewer in unmeasured
terms, and said this meeting is the be-
ginning of the end to his term in Con-
gress. Said the NEGRO here spews him
out Of his mouth, and the white man
will not take him up again!" Here
some negro wanted to ask question OF
the speaker, but he was promptly
'squashed," and it is unknown what he
wanted to say. Grandson evidently
took him for a Brewer negro, for he re-
