CLEVELAND AID HILL.

Ex- President Cleveland aud Gov

dinner at the Manhattan Club on
Saturday evening, and there was no
earthquake or even the mildcst form
of arrangement visible. On the
contrary, the demeanor of both
was just what it would have SEEM
ed had they been known as de-
voted personal and political friends.
Mr.. Cleveland spoke first and
ended by a handsome compliment to
the Governor, and proposing the
health of the Democratic Senator
from New York. Governor Hill
Hill closed his sneech by expressing
the hope that he might leave Wash
ington as highly honored as is the
ex-President, and i'll obedience TO
his proposal, the health of Cleve-
land was drunk standing by the
company. After the dinner the two
distinguished Democratic leaders had
a pleasant personal chat, and alto
gether the occasion was very agreea-
bic one all round.-Philadelphia

The more the returns of the Con-
necticut election are studied the
clearer it becomes that the effort to
keep the Democratic candidates out
of the offices to which they were
elected is fraudulent conspiracy,
1t is the conspiracy of a minority to
rule by defying the expressed will of
the people. This unrepublican pro-
ceedipg is lamentabIy common in
recent years in certain States and
sections. 1t is revolutionary, but it
is tolerated because the States in
which it occurs credit themselves
with absolute political righteousness
and employ their leisure in traduc-
ing other States where the will of the
majority is implicitly obeyed. The
New Hampshire aud Connecticut
Senators were among the most ar
dent supporters of the force bill.
But the conscience and intelligence
of the country have at last revolted
against the New England code of
political morals.

wlDEH THE FIELD.

Winston and Salem must di-
versify their industries and widen
the field of their manufacturing
enterprise.
We have just progressed far
enough to have arrived at the
threshold of the difficulty that
has stood in the way of the ad
vancement of SO many places OF
prosperity and thrift in a main
line of industry
The success of tobacco manu-
featuring here has been phenom-
email; it goes on increasing in
volume and multiplying in pro-
fits, and apparently the only limit
to it must be the limit of produc-
ton, as consumption and demand
keep steadily ahead of the sup
ply.
This circumstance cOnfrOntS us
with a condition of hesitation, Or
unwillingness. on the part of the
greater portion of our people to
embark on other lines of manu-
featuring, or to look toward
those improvements and supply
ing those adj uncts, SO necessary
to set up and keep moving a
city of thrift and prosperous pop
ulation.
Suggestion of any new enter
prise or undertaking is met with
the declaration that investment
in tobacco manufacturing will
yield larger profits. And so every
other line of human action and
endeavor is in danger of subordi-
nation to the one idea and indus
try of tobacco. Thatit has near
ly always been the case, every
where else, where one Over-shad-
owing, profitable industry has
shut out all others, does not
lessen the danger or the evil here
of concentrating all the best effort
upon one industry, and directing
our most active energies and cap
ital in one direction.
While we cannot have too much
manufacturing of tobacco, we
shall certainly suffer if we have
too little of the other manufac-
turing industries. And we APP
prehend that newcomers may be
slow to adopt and engage in
other lines, without the inspiring
example of those who have made
great successes in tobacco lend
ing their encouragement, and the
weight of their business acumen,
and their prestige of success, to
schemes of wider diversification
of local industries, and such en-
terprises of public and private inn
provement as will add new at
fractions, augment the general
wealth, and promote the common
welfare.

The haste of the present Con-
gress to pass an apportionment
bill creates an anomaly and
opens a question which the bill
does nothing to settle. Is the
electoral college of 1892 to be
based, as to numbers, on the
membership ofthe House in 1892,
or on the membership OF the
House, as fixed by this appor-
tionmelt bill, on March 4, 1898?
1t is assumed by the republicans,
it seems, that the number of pres
idential electors in 1892 is to be
on the basis created by the APP
portionment bill just passed.
They were influenced by that
assumption to have..the Fifty-first
Congress do in this matter work
that belonged properly to the
Fifty second Congress. 1t is a
suspicious anomaly that Con-
gress should be on one basis and
the electoral college on another.
Mr.. Edmunds lamented, the fact
that the bill does not pro vide
for the reduction of the represen-
tation Of States where the right
of suffrage is denied to q number
of voters. He had in mind, it is
supposed, the new constitution
Of Mississippi, though he should
have had in mind also Massa-
chusetts, where an educational
test is prescribed as well as in
Mississippi.

The Torrey bankrupt bill as it

us to include cases of voluntary

The results anticipated by the
bill are, chat the assets of per-
sons who cannot or will not pay
will be taken in charge and
distributed ratably among their
creditors; that an equitable and
safe guide will be furnished for
the settlement of transactions
which are now left unsettled by
the varying rules of law in force

concerns will be prevented from
securing assignments for their
benefit by threats against their
small debtors, whereby they sue
coed in collecting dollarfor dollar
of their debts, while other credi-
tors are prevented from collec-
ting any part of their debts, 'and
finally, ssthat the prompt COM
promise or arbitration of contro-
versies at small expense will be
promoted as asubstitute forv
atious and prolonged litigation. .

in favor of the resignation of United

the appointment of Senator-elect
Gordon in his place. Mr.. Brown

GRANTING EXCL us!ve PRIVILEGES.

GRANTING EXCLUSIVE PRIVILEGES
A measure has been introduced
in theLegislature directed against
exclusive privileges to water sup
ply companies.
This is a matter now that per-
haps better be left to time, place
and circumstance. The exclusive
feature In any charter or contract
Is an unfortunate one; but with
out it under modern custom,
very many times our towns and
localities would be denied the
necessary adiuncts for their i'm
provements the public conven-
fence and the general welfare.
Monopoly ought to be repress-
ed when possible, and never en-
couraged if the people can help it.
Charters Incorporating monopo-
listic features ought to always
be limited by prescription of the
shortest possible term of years.
And in every case the whole mat
ter of privileges in Incorporated
towns, should be left to the con-
sent, exemption and control of
the town governments, or ma
jority of the qualified voters.
The water, light and electric
power monopolies, are going to
pile up the worst burden of OPP
preston, annoyance, inconven-
fence and hindrance that our
people in North Carolina have
ever known. The cities and towns
securing these agencies of com
fort and development, through
the concession of every right, are
going to find that they have
erected over themselves, and set
up above the law, costly and
grinding despotisms. They will
realize, when too late, in most
instances, that they have paid
too dear for the whistle.
The granting of exclusive rights
and privileges, though plausibly
pleaded as the inducement for
capital to invest in local improve
ments, is against public policy,
contrary to the spirit of our in
stitutions, of questionable pro-
priety always, and of doubtful
constitutionality. 1t would have
been we'll if the organic law of
the land had plainly prohibited
it in every transaction involving
public rights and privileges.
Very few, if any, meritorious
corporations for the public con-
yenience and Improvement need
for their safety and protection
any such contract provisions as
those which attempt to confer
exclusive privileges, and are suo,-
gested only because it has been
customary to grant them. In
public and private affairs, the
safest ground is that for compe-
tition to stand upon, and the
corporation is more valuable in
itself, as Il franchise, and of great
CT usefulness to the public, if it is
established upon and governed
by the principles of self-preserva-
ton against competition and II
vary.
