REWARD THE EDITORS.

Paul Jones, writing from Tarboro to
the Ne7os and Observer, pays tribute
to the services rendered by the Demo.
cratic press of the State during the
last campaign. He says:
Although the election is over, and
things in the political world have to a
certain extent quoted down, yet there
are still many grave and serious ques-
tons to consider, and one OF which ]
shall mention is that of appointments
to the different public offices through
out our State and nation, made vacant
by the retirement of the Republican
party.
If the question arises, who are the
men to fill these vacancies, a fail
answer would most assuredly be, those
men who have labored most for the
success of the Democratic party. Now,
Mr.. Editor, when we look over the
just past campaign and see how the
press of our own dear native State
have labored and toiled to educate the
people in the ways of Democracy,
when we see with what boldness our
editors have stormed the very strong
holds of Republicanism and Third
partyism, when we see how nobly and
fearlessly they have upheld the speak
ers of the Democratic party every
where and on all occasions, how, sir
can we but say, give them the choice
and reward them for duty we'll per-
formed. 1t is my own private opinion
sir, that the press of North Carolina
did more towards the success of the
Democratic party than all the com
blned forces elsewhere.
Whenever it can be done, let our
editors have the appointments. LIE,
cur prominent men have an eye to
this. Let them not for conscience
sake pass the editors by unnoticed
for they of all men, deserve recogni,
ton at the hands of the appointing
power. Most respectfully,
PAUL JONES.

CAPT. ). A. ASHE.

We are not much given to compli-
ment, but we are a stern believer in
Justice, and there is one man in North
Carolina who has claims upon the
Democratic party that is simple
claim of justice and compensation.
The delicate question Of the late
campaign was how to deal with the
Third party. 1t was serious and an
alarming question. Democrats con-
fronted it like Macbeth the ghos: Of
Banquo at the banquet table. 1t
aff'righted all but one man in North
Carolina. The press of North Caro-
lima, the Executive Committee of
North Carolina, the Executive officers
of North Carolina covered before it..
They trembled like Belshazzar. One
man alone, unsustained by his brethren
of the press, unsustained by the State
government, with the peril of personal
and pecuniary sacrifice before him,
with official resolutions of personal
denunciation and business boycott
coming to him in warning, threw
himself into the breach and with a
heroism that took counsel of duty
alone, exposed the wicked purpose o.
the Third party movement when ii
was in its origin and feeling its way &c
the popular sentiment. The Demo
cratic State Executive Committee me
and disapproved the aggressive course
of Capt. Ashe. The great Demo
cratic popular heart of North Carr
lima beat in sympathy with him. Ane
many of US now feel that had San
Ashe been sustained, the Gideonit'
monster would never have been know,
in our State, the Weaver vote of 40, oo<
would have been reduced to infntes
sinai proportions if not entirel,
crushed out, and the true Farmers
Alliance been saved from its wors
foes in its own household.
And now justice. Capt. Ashe
entitled to recognition at the hands O
the Democratic victors. The CLAIM
rises above spoils. 1t is justice ant
recompense. 1t is reparation for in
justice. There has been no time il
North Carolina history in which
Cape Fear Ashe has not been a con
spicuous patriot and leader, and her
is another.-Elizabeth City Eeonomis,
Falcon.

A Remarkable History.

We recently published strongly CON-
mandatory notice of "IAlden's Cyelopedia
of History" In the interest of our read
ers we wish to repeat and emphasize
what we said. A good Universal History
ought to be in every home; this is GER
tainly excellent, if not the very best for
general use and reference ever published,
covering all nations Except United States
to be published separately and from
B. C. to 4. D. 1899. Certainly it is the
cheapest historical work We have ever
seen; but that is what readers generally
will expect from Mr.. Alden, who has
done so much to place the highest class
of literature within popular reach. To
get such vast amount Of matter within
such small compass the type used is
necessarily small, but it is beautifully
clear, and the paper, printing and bind
ing are of the best. Send 10 cents to
Mr.. Alden and he will send you a sample
volume of 16O pages, containing the his
tory of several nations complete, by
which you can juge for yourself whether
you want the entire work. His catalogue
of choice books, 1913 pages, sent post
paid for 2 cents, presents a wonderful
feast for book lovers. Address JOHN B.
ALDEN, Publisher, 81 Rose ST., New
York.
