Away With Sectional Lines.
washington POST.

In an interview with Hon.
George d. Wise, of Virginia,
this well-known gentleman ex-
pressed his unabated confidence
in Mr., Cleveland, and doubtless
represents the majority senti-
ment of his State i'm this respect.
In Mr.. Wise's Judgment the
Cleveland administration was
one of the best the country ever
had, and he calls special atten-
tion to the fact, as a great point
IN the late Presidents favor,
that he made every effort to
break down sectional lines and
treated the people of the South
as citizens Of a common coun-
try rather than a distinctive
part Of it to be Disseminated
against. That was certainly
very commendable on Mr.. Cleve-
lands part 1t is high time
that sectionalism were done
away with.
Yet Mr.. Wise, in talking a.
bout the speakership, seems to
think that it were better for the
South to Icy no claim to the hon
or. He would be satisfied to see
it go North or West. Why? Of
course on sectional grounds
the very grounds that Presi.
dent Cleveland in such a, broad
and liberal way sought to avoid.
Is, there not a little inconsis-
tency in the two positions?
If the time has come for the
obliteration Of all sectional lines,
why make an exception in the
case of the speakership? Whv|
raise the question anew What
is the sense in bringing out the
old political map of the country
and arguing that by the mere
reasOnof his geographical loca-
toe south of u certain imagi-
nary but no longer existing line
one man is less suitable or less
available to preside over the de-
iiberations Of the House than
some other man who happens to
live north Of that line?
If our Democratic friends are
thoroughly honest in their a.
vowed ontagonism to sectional
ism, if sectionalism isreally the
dead thing that we are told it is,
and as Mr.. Cleveland undertook
to demonstrate, the sooner they
down the ghost the better. Its
presence is strangely out of
Eplacc IL the spsakersaip con-
test.

viii we he In It2

Itisa a matter of regret to those
who are endeavoring to push
Durhamcounty forward, ,thather
magistrates and Board of Com
missioners refused to aid the
county-by ever so small a sum
LIN making a display at the
Southern Interstate Exposition
at Raleigh this fall and then at
the Worlds Fair. ..
Such a report has gone out to
the world and we are ashamed
to own that it is true.
If Durham county expects to
attract and bring in a whole
some immigration with capital,
she must make the effort-throw
out the overtures il.
1t is not the part of wisdom
alwaysto draw the purse strings
too tightly froma fear Of invest
ment. Durham was in a good
lcondition to do the handsome
thing; but her county officials
didn't do il.
But don't let that stop us
from showing TO the assembled
nultitudes, both at Raleigh and
Chicago, what we can do. See
if you cannot turn over your
money to your own profit no
less than that of your neighbor.
If you have quite a sufficiency,
you wouldn't mind, presuma-
bly,, aiding your fellowmen,
especially if your own eXche-
quer is increased thereby. De-
| velop your section. Unearth
the rich mineral depositsl Let
the hum of machinery make
music for your ueighborhood!
Let the smoke of factories as.
cend upward from every dir
ection. Investors will be in
our State; they will visit the
Worlds Fair and seeing our
products and display will seek
to learn more Of US. They will
come with their capital. Will
we not seek to reap the richest
fruits of this golden harvest:
Awake yet that look with dis.
favor upon this move and wash
the scales from your eyes
When capitalists come to in
vest you'll want a big price fol
property, and yet you are
afraid to risk q little to bring
them here.
Let Durham do something, by
all means, in the way of a dis
lplay. We ought not to be out
of the line Of march.

Hon. George D. Wise was in.

and that it viii go to the Pre-

lower tariff. A new tariff bill
will be passed by the next
House, and / believe that it will

The Alliance CrcuIar.

The following is a copy of a
circular which is being sent to
all the sub-Alliances by the
secretary of the State Alliance:
"We fought a glorious fight
and achieved a great victory
last year, but the war is not
over; the enemy to our order is
strengthening his strongholds
AMI entrenching himself in our
territory. 1t behooves us to be
more and more vigilant, to drill,
equip and prepare ourselves for
any attack upon our line. We
ought not to sleep nor slumber
until every Allianceman at
least, and as many outsiders as
possible, are induced to read
and post themselves on all our
demands, State and national,
and are thoroughly furnished
for the coming impending con-
fiict. On the Goth day of May,
in the city of Cincinnati, in the
Statepf Ohio, a new political
party was born. 1t is now a
reality, a fixed fact, and what
the effect of it is to be on this
State and nation remains to be
seen. It is more and more i'm
portant that our order should
remain intact, should decide and
decide intelligently, what things
are essential, and having de-
cided stand together for our
homes and our firesides."

The InsnIIed SAINT.

The Central Methodist says:
'You insulted me by sending
me a bill for my paper"
"Clerk's fault. He mistook you
for one who pays" "But / en-
ioyed reading your paper, and
would have continued to do so
had you not sent me that bill"
Indeed! you enjoy the paper
while you can read it at the
publishers expense: but when
you are asked to pay for it, as
every honest man should do,
yourenjoymentis gone" Broth
er, that is a counterfeit enjoy
ment; it bears the stamp of dis
honesty upon its face. If you
want real enjoyment in reading
a paper, pay for it like a man,
and you will not be disapooint-
ed.

Does Not Care for state.

We hear of a certain paper
outside of the State that has
8 900 weekly subscribers in the
State, and this is to the neglect
of faithful home papers. That
paper is a good one, but it real
iy cares nothing for North Car
olina or its interests. Ii never
defends the State or seeks to
advance its interests. 1t really
takes no more interest in the
affairs of North Carolina than

senger.
If the people Of our State, in
their respective sections, would
give their home papers a more
liberal support they enable their
publishers to get out far better
papers than they do. 1t is not
an uncommon thing when you
approach a man and ask him
to take your paper for him to
say, oh, am taking the New
York Sun, or the Atlanta Con-
stitution, and / can not afford
to take your paper. But when
this man wants a personal puff,
or a gratis advertisement he
knows where TO find his home

make damaging criticisms a.
bout it, he knows where to find
it. he has to borrow il from his
neighbor Daily Sentinel.

Our readers will recall the
Stanley Jameson controversy
regarding an act of cannibal-
ism, at which the latter is said
to have connived. Following is
the account of the tragedy as
given in Jameson's book just
published.
"Tippu Tib, who came in be-
fore it was ever, told me that
they usually kill several people
and have a grand feast, for the
Wacusu are terrible cannibals.
Then he told me, among other
stories, that long ago, when
fighting near Matela, they killed
a great many Of the enemy, and
the natives who were with him
being cannibals, there was not
a body to be found the next
morning. He tells me that two
men will easily eat one man in
a night. Tippu Tib sent for
water in the night to wash his
hands and drink, the water be-
ing in a well near by. Tippu
lib coa d not make out why,
when it was brought; it stuck
TO his hands and was SO oily
and bad to drink. Next day
Tippa lib and several Arabs
went to the well tosee what was
the matter. There he saw a
most horrible sight. The water
was covered with a thick layer
of yellow fat, which was rum
ming over the side of the well
He found that the natives had
taken all the human meet to the
well to wash it before eating.
"At the next place they halt
ed, he made the natives camp
below him .on the stream. j
told him that the people at home
generally consider such stories
to be only travellers tales, as
they are called in our country,

Burning Shame,

The more one scrutinizes the
proportions to which the pension
business of this government has
grown, the more one is impress
ed with the enormity of the per-
version from its original de-
sign.
Pension eaters, pension sharks
and pension office frauds are
common things in Washington.
The thing has grown out Of all
reason under the present admin
istration. Ii is a burning shame,
a monumental disgrace, for a
nation to barter and trade away
the provisions and rewards Of
patriotism.
Here is the branch Of the gov
ernment established to dispense
material gratitude to honest SOL
diery, in a disabled condition,
made the nursery of more cor
rupt crookedness than all the
other departments of the gov
ernment combined. Shame il is
and an outrage upon the pa
triotic sentiment Of the Repub-
lie that fraud after fraud should
be discovered in the pension
office. Better that it should be
abolished permanently than
that the survivors Of the mighty
conflict should be made the ex-
cuse for the enrichment Of a
circle of constituencies thieves.
