blocks, run streets through it, build
an imposing hotel with an imposing
name, lay off parks, avenues, drives,
&c, on paper, divide the blocks up
into lots, advertise literally, then get
up cheap excursions, give a big bar
becue, put the lots up at auction and
knock them down at money enough
to pay for four or five acres at original
purchase price. That's selling lots
and making lots Of money for the
little syndicate, but it isn't building
up the town by a long sight
This is beginning at the wrong end.
If these syndicates had control of
money enough to erect factories,
machine shops, &C., to give work to
the people whom they invite to buy
their lots, they would be beginning
at the right end and laying the foun-
dation for continued growth and pros
perity. These need not necessarily
be large industries requiring much
capital, but what are called "small'
industries, to which the locality may
be maintained without large outlay
of money, and which may become
self-sustaining and profitable. Several
"smalr' industries, employing pro-
portionate number of people and a
proportionate amount of capital are
better for town than one large in
dustry, because they employ variety
of labor and require variety of raw
material, thus benefting greater
number of people.
Greensboro started out on the right
track when she organized the steel and
! iron works which will give employ
ment to large number Of skilled
workmen, and will doubtless lead to
/ the establishment of numerous other
kindred industries. The prospective
establishment of these steel and iron
works has done more to give an i'm
pulse to activity and inspire confidence
in the future of that town than dozen
land companies and iorty volumes Of
"writeups'' would do.
The land improvement companies
are good enough as far as they 60
when they are not run for mere pur-
poses of speculation, and when the
object is not to make credulous people
pay big money for cheap property
upon which fictitious value has been
put, because they introduce mordern
improvements and awaken progress
sive spirit which possibly might not
have been awakened without them
but they should be accompanied by
industrial enterprises to be really effec
tive in promoting the solid growth
and permanent prosperity of the
towns in which they are organized

DOES NOT CARE FOR THE STATE.


We hear of a certain paper out
side of the State that has 5000 weekly
subscribers in the State, and this is to
the neglect of faithful home papers.
That paper is good one, but it really
cares nothing for North Carolina or
its interests. 1t never defends the
State or seeks to advance its interests.
1t really takes no more interest in the
affairs Of North Carolina than it does
in those of Massachusetts,, although
published in the South. 1t is no more
North Carolinian than the New York
Herald or Tribune or W0rla is North
Observation-Disclosures Messenger.
Nine thousand subscribers is larger
circulation than that of any North
Carolina newspaper with one excep-
ton. Here is paper circulating in
the State in preference to its own
papers. This paper cares nothing for
the history of the State. This paper
would publish any sensational or
OdilidS iLS yam, tueil any lohS hS"o
gatherer might send it. We have
our eyes on the paper referred to. 1t
is the strongest and most humiliating
evidence of a lack Of State PRIDE
Charlotte Chronicle.
This is indeed ga most humiliating
evidence of a lack Of State pride. "
But who is to blame? Certainly not
the paper. Its business is to circulate
as many copies as it can find demand
for, and having done that its interest
ceases. 1t cares nothing for North
Carolina or North Carolinians, a fact
which has been clearly demonstrated
quite recently in permitting its col
umns to be used for the purpose Of
slandering an honorable and patriotic
citizen of the State.

REV. BAYLUS CADE.

As heretofore announced was his
purposc to do. Rev Baylus Cade re-
tired from the editorial conduct Of the
Progressive Farmer with the last
issue of that paper. Like the honest
and honorable man that he is, and
upright, heightened Christian gentle
man that his friends know him to be,
this step was taken voluntarily by him
because he could not consclentlously
advocate certain measures which the
attitude Of the Pr0gyessiUe Farmer as
the organ of the Farmers Alliance OF
the State, demanded. He says:
With the present issue Of the Pro-
gyessi0e Fayme, my connection with
it as editor terminates. | retire from
the paper of my own motion, and am
led to this step by sense of duty. 1t
is right that | should give to the
readers of the paper, and to the gen.
eral public, my reasons for retiring.
After careful and patient study
OF the Sub-Treasury BILL am con-
WINGED that its enactment into law
| would be disastrous to the country,
and especially so to the agricultural
interests of the country. Holding this
| view, cannot write one word in favor
| of that bill. The dominant sentiment
in the Alliance upon this measure is
in irreconcilable conflict with my
views; and the only manly and honor
able course left open for me isto retire,
and let another editor take charge OF
the paper whose views are in harmony
with those of the friends of the Sub
Treasury bill.
1t is due to Col. Polk and to all
the other officers of the Alliance that
l should distinctly say, that no pres
sure of any kind has ever been brought
to bear upon me to induce me to take
any position that l could not occupy
with a conscience void of offense.

BIGoTRY IN POLITICS.

Voice Given to English Opinion oil
Priestly Interference In Ireland.
LONDON, April S.-The feeling of un.
easiness which is gaining ground among
the English Liberals as to clerical inter.
ference in Irish politics has been power
fully voiced by Lord Edmond Fnz-
maurice in an address to the Reading
Liberals. Lord Fitzmaurice said that,
Protestant as he was, he desired to rec
ognize that Ireland was chiefly Roman
Catholic country, but they must equally
bear in mind that Ireland was not alto
gether Roman Catholic and that place
must be kept secure for the Protestant
In the politics of the country He added
that it was most desirable that nothing
should be done to increase the difficult
ties of the situation by striking the note
Of ecclesiastical bigotry. Lord Ed
mond's apprehensions are widely shared
by English Non-conformists as well as
Irish Protestants. and the slurs on the
Orangemen in the Sligo contest have
greatly tended to exasperate that order.
