THE TRAVELLED GENTLEMAS.

Let a man cross the pond-go to Eu-
rope, and come home, and he imagines
that he has seen much. There was
something in the majesty Of the waves =;
there was a sacrifice in his sea sickness;
there was something in the grandeur
! and the destruction which he cannot hold
down. He will oternallY suggest when
| was abroad" and in q wild endeavor to
tell something, he will universally get
ratified, and apart from that he will make
you tired.
The most striking illustration of this
point is given in the Omaha Bee, show
ing the ignorance of CAR REED recently
returned from g long trip. The Bee says /:
The American traveller who returns to
America full Of regrets that things N
this side of the water are not what they
are III the ctfete mOnarChies of Europe
very frequently discovers that he Ass
made an exhibition Of his ignorance In
citing an instance to establish his point.

THOMAS B. REED has fallen into the very
common error Of travellers returning

his regret that among other things no
American art gallery had secured a copy
Of MICHAEL Angeles "DAyID." He had
scarcely given utterance to the remark
until his attention was called by an
American who had not visited Rome and
Florence to the fact that the Corcoran
art gallery in Washington contains the
best copy OF the great painting in eXis-
tence. The discovery was particularly
humiliating because Mr.. REED has spent
a very considerable part of his life almost
at the door of that American collection
OF paintings and statuary.
OF course REED has never travelled in
his W country. He never saw the
wonderful plains Of Arizona and the
dull, brown mountains, which appear to
be pasted upon them, he never saw the
Yosemite Valley, the Columbia river nor
the famous Yellowstone park in Wy
Oming.
He once got as far West as Omaha,
made an ass Of himself in a political
speech and returned tO his Bracket
street home at Portland, Maine. Went
to congress and gagged the nation
thence to Europe and feigned an admira-
ton for the picture which COLONEL MIKE
ANGELO daubbed one day for past time.
And his experience in relating his ig-
nOranCe is an old, old, story.

WHO WAS TO BLAME?

The first reports, and they are always the
best, say that rotten ties spread and let the
passenger train on the Western North Car
olina road, with it's eighty passengers, sink
to their death.
The c~oroner's jury has been in session
and it will doubtless find that the railroad
was not to blame.
But we notice that Judge Schenciz, Cap
tain Green and Fabius H. Busbee had gone,
among the first, to the scene of the disas-
ter. They went to get railroad points, to
see if it is possible to place this human
butchery on other people,.
This is the way railways Io-and we need
not expect much else than complete exon
Grafton. The people OF North Carolina
should know beyond doubt and beyond
any question the part played in this sad
tragedy by the Richmond and Danyille
road.
Were the ties rotten?

The reports Of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton and State Weather Service for the
week ending Friday, August %, 1891,
show a decidedly discouraging outlook.
Very heavy rains have fallen, especially
in the central portion of the state. The
normal rainfall for August is 1.52 inches
per week; the average for this week is
4.52 inches, fully 3 inches above the nor
NAL. The temperature continued slightly
above the average until Friday night,
when a rapid fall occurred, the thermom-
eter Saturday morning reading Sc degrees
at Raleigh, with northeast winds and
rain. These conditions have been de-
cidedly u~nfavorable to all crops. Cotton
is very Weedy and shedding, and it is
feared rust will appear. Bolls had just
begun to open, while at this time last
year picking was in progress everywhere,
and new bales had been marketed. The
present condition 10 Is per cent az com
pared with 1902 per cent at the same time
in 1890; II per cent in 1889, and 81 per
cent in 1890. Corn continues to be ex-
c~ellent, especially in the western district.
The saving of fodder is interrupted and
a considerable amount damaged. Low
land corn injured by excessive rains and
by the overflow of the Roanoke at Wei
don. Present condition of corn Sc, as
compared with 50 per cent in 1890; So
per cent in 1889, and 80 per cen in 1888.
The uniformly good condition of corn
even in u~nfavorable years as compared
with cotton should serve as a warning to
farmers to place more dependence on
food crops and less on cotton, which
seems always the first to suffer from the
effects Of bad weather. The condition
of tobacco this year is 81 per cent, as
compared with 95 per cent in 1890; 50
per cent in 1889, and SO per cent in 1883.

THE Pension FRAUD.

In endorsing and commenting upon
THE CLONES recent article concerning
the wholesale plundering Of the treasury,
in the matter Of p%ensioning dyspeptics,
cripples who never smelled real powder
and who were never engaged in battle,
the Norfolk Va, Landmark says:
There is nothing in the United States
so stupendOus in its ~humbuggery and
| outrage as the Federal pension list. IN
less the people come to their right minds
on this subject and incontinently refuse
to be taxed for this dishonest and purely
political purpose there is no telling where
it viii stop. 1t is a mere lever OF party
power. It is a most Infamous imposition
ever inflicted upon a country, and is
growing worse every year. The father
from the war time takes US the more pen-
sioners there are. There are stalwart
| negro women in Virginia drawing two
pensions because, as they say, they had
| two husbands killed in the war.
1t seems absurd and preposterous to
hear of pensioning the slaves, but the
republican party placemen would do it
if they could and there shOe1d be any adj
vantage for them in it. Why should not
the farmers ask for a pension The far
mcrs raised the provisions for the army.
The sub-treasury scheme is in the nature
or a pension fraud.
But as the fraud grows larger the pa
tri0ts howl louder for the bottle-scarred
hummer and the bloody shirt is seen in
everp torchlight procession at the North
and West.
There is no hope to check the contem-
plated raids. AS long as the politicians
have rings in the noses Of the voters just
that long will they hold them.
When the professional politician is rel
egated to the rear, just that soon Hon
esty Will again assert herself. The South
is annually plundered Of millions to sup
port the party hacks at the North and
West.
The end Of the robbery should be
reached.

New York Morning AdvertiScr.l
Referring to the cornerstone (stiIl in
the quarry Of the "Advertiser Building"
the esteemed GLOBE, Of Durham, n. c.,
is satisfied that it is only a question Of
time-and not a long period of time,
either-When the stone will have to
come forth and be duly placed, with ap-
prOpriate ceremonies. The GLOBE is
satisfied on this point because The Morn
ing Advertiser is "a derrick, q hydraulic
ram, an intellectual street-sprinkler, and
a hummer with horns" This has been
own view Of the case, but modesty
has prevented us from stating it in so
many words. Now that the Truth has
come out, and from an entirely disinter-
ested source, we have no hcsitancy in
admitting it. We infer, too, that the
"Globe Building' will soon be a feature
of Durham architecture. THE GLOBE

THE GLOBE would like to ask Of tue
untagged and adultered fraud of this CITY
what it expects to do next year. With
farmers alliance gatherings ~boycotting
it for its fraudulent practices and with
an officer of the state after it for gross
and fragrant violations of the law, the
question is, "Will the president still be
allowed to attend all these alliance gath
.erings and sweat blood for the farmers
which lie has robbed? Well, let US hope
