LETTER FROM MR.. HENRY.
Government Ownership of Railroads
Col. L: L. Polk---Dr. j. N. Hays.

Col. L: L. Polk---Dr. j. N. Hays.
HENDERSON, n. c., July goth, 1892.
EDITOR GOLD LEAF:-The Head OF the
Third party movement in North Caro-
lima and the South, was the late Col. L.
L. Polk.
The Heart OF the Third party move
ment is the Government Ownership of
Railroads.
If it appears that Col. L. L. Polk op-
posed that plank in the Third party
platform, and as q thoughtful student
of political history recognized it as the
most gigantic and monstrous plan of
Capitalization ever devised in this coun-
try, will not the men who bowed at his
shrine, and who governed their actions
by his opinions. give themselves pause,
forsake a party whose Heart was dis
owned by its Head and return once more
to the Democratic party, in the best sense
the Party of the People, that has ever
stood like mighty light -house by the
raging sea of politics, it's twinkling light
warning the needless Ship of State off the
rocks of Sectionalism, Negroism. Rob
berry and Tyranny:
Coo grant the white men of North
Carolina, who have been beguiled into
deserving the Banner OF all our Hopes,
will see the error OF their way, and re-
turn to the party they have loved in the
past, and bare their brave bosoms in
defence of Democratic principles, which
alone guarantees Peace, Liberty and
Safety.
Some days ago l saw it stated that
Col. L. l.. Polk told DR.. j. NJ. Hays, of
Washington City, that he opposed the
Government Ownership of Railroads.
wrote to DIR. Hays. Below you will
find his reply. l send you a copy of his
letter. shall carry the original around
the Campaign.
The Third party people will have to
repudiate Col. Folks opinion, or they
will have to do as he did, turn their
backs upon that plank in their platform,
which is the Heart of the movement.
Without it's Heart the Party must die
Respectfully,
w. r. HENRY.

WALTER r. HENRY, Esq,
Henderson, n. T.,
My Dear Sir and Friend:-In reply to
your inquiry as to what the late Col. L.
L. Polk said to me in regard to his views
on the Government Ownership of Rail-
roads, have to say that in the early
part of Col. Folks last sickness, at least
ten days before his severe illness, he was
discussing the political situation with
a prominent North Carolina gentleman
(Hon. A. H. A. Williams) and myself,
and in the course of his conversation he
made use of this language, or language
to this effect:
II have given the subject OF Govern
ment Ownership of Railroads and Tele
graph Lines great deal of thought, and
| have determined to use every bit OF the
influence l have, against the adoption Of
any such plank in the Omaha Platform.
l am pretty sure that will be able to
succeed in this attempt"
He spoke very earnestly, and seemed
convinced that his conclusions were well
founded in this matter.
| On another occasion he said to me:
"The country is not ready for such q
in connection with the Railroads and
Telegraph Lines; the Government Own
ership of Telegraph Lines is perhaps
more feasible than that of Railroads,
but the people are not ready even for
that now, and perhaps will not be even
| for a long time"
Col. Polk talked very freely with me
before his fatal illness, about this mat
| ter and smoke with great deliberatiOn
and earnestness, and / know that his
mind was fully made up concerning it,
and had he gone to Omaha, he would
have thrown his whole energy into con-
vincing Others of his party of the cor
rectness of his views.
Thanking you for your very kind ex-
pressions of regard for me, personally
and professionally, all of which are more
than reciprocated, | have the honor to
! be, Yours Very Truly,
J. M. HAYS.

THE MALT HOUSE.

The engine at the malt house will
start up tomorrow, for the first time.
The $4,000 or 1000 bushels of barley
which is lying on the first floor will be
put into the elevator. The manufact-
ure of malt will commence about Dec.
1st, under the management of Geo.
Boyer. Jacob Bierbauer will have
general charge of the factory.
The first and second floors will be
devoted TO the storage of barley, the
third floor for malt, and.the basement
which is cemented, will be used fol
growing
The factoryis nowin readiness to re.
ceive barley in any quantity. 1t will
afford good, steady market for this
grain, which is this year twice as pro-
titable as wheat, easily realizing the
farmer $40 per acre. Many who have
brought in barley say that after this
they will raise nothing else. There is
no danger of overstocking the factory,
as it will take all that can be grown in
the county.

A NEEDLESS DEPARTMENT.

A petition to congress has been
started in the East asking that new
Department, similar to the Depart
ment of Agriculture be created which
shall be known as the Road Depart
ment 1t is proposed that this de-
partment shall have the supervision
of the building of improved roads. 1t
is somewhat curious that when some
important reform movement is start
ed there are those who Immediately
want government department Gre
ated for it. In this case a govern
ment department would be needless
expense, as it would have no author
ity whatever, as the building of good
roads is matter that must be car
ried forward by the states.
The establishment of bureau in the
Agricultural Department that could
collect and send out information in re-
gard to roads, ETC., might be of some
use, but it is hard to see where the
returns from this would in any way
equal the expense. Its main purpose
would be the furnishing of salaried
position for some broken down poll
tician who has been denied a continu-
ance of his seat in congress by his
constituents.
States that cannot be aroused by
the discussion of the subject that is
now going on in the public press,
could not be quickened by federal
official with no power to enforce his
recommendations, or to apply the
knowledge of his researches and
statistics in practical experiments.
The question of good roads is meet
ing the popular approval, and there is
little doubt but that some move will
be made upon the part Of several
states this coming winter to inaugur-
ate the new system and commence
the practical building Of good roads.
When such roads have been built and
the people have chance to note the
advantage Of good over bad roads, the
demand will spread, and they will
eventually be secured throughout the
nation, and that just as soon as they
would be by the creation of govern
ment department which would have
no power to act, and be source of
expense upon the resources of the

A DEMOCRATIC GAME.

There is being an attempt made on
the part of the Democrats to defeat
Senator G. X. Davis for reelection to
the United States Senate. Failing in
their attempt to elect an anti-Repub-
lican legislature, they are now trying
to work detection in the Republican
ranks by circulating stories of treach-
cry upon the part of certain Republi-
cans. But this won't work. The Re-
publicans have looked after the mat
ter so far, and will complete the work
as they have started out.
The Democratic story that the Re-
publicans are not pledged to Senator
Davis because after his endorsement
by the State convention his name did
not 60 upon the ticket, is too thin to
hold water. Not being an office for
the people to vote upon, there was no
legal way in which to get his name
upon it, as those who make the charge
well know. But by being so endorsed
he was made the logical candidate OF
the party, and the pledge then made
was affirmed by at least 10 per cent
of the counties of thestate. Through
out the entire campaign the Senator
was regarded as much the candidate
of the party for Senator as was Mr..
Nelson for Governor, and one of the
qualifications exacted of Republican
legislative candidates was that they
vote for him for that position. The
fact that the anti-RepublicaD major
ity of Is in the last legislature was
transformed into Republican major
ity of % or 26 this year clearly shows
how the people feel about the matter
and 1T is demand upon their part
that Mr.. Davis be returned.
The claim that also comes from
Democratic sources that the Republi-
can senators holding over are under
no obligations to vote for Senator Da-
Wis is not well taken, and is only an
other part of their program to defeat
him. The party having endorsed him
is morally pledged for his reelection,
and that pledge covers the entire
party, senators and all. The duty of
Republicans is to pay no attention
to the attempt of Democrats to defeat
the will of the people as expressed at
the polls, but to go straight ahead
and execute that will by returning
our brilliant Senator for six years
more.

A Pretty Complexion.

The best thing in the world for the
complexion is equal parts of glycerine
and rosewater, and the best result can
be obtained by using it on the face,
hands and neck every night before
retiring. 1t is very little trouble, in
fact more Of pleasure you wish a
pretty skin, and it prevents blotches
and freckles from appearing on the
face. When you see a lady with
pimples and other blemishes on her
cheeks you can rest assured they are
caused by impure food, and we know
this has been taken in ignorance. Use
Horsford's Baking Powder if you wish
the safest and purest article in your
cakes and bread.

A BILL has been introduced into
the Georgia legislature to allow the
state banks to issue notes, the engrav-
ing and printing to be done under
the supervision of state commission,
and the state is to endorse the notes.
The law is to take effect as soon as
the Governor has notice that con-
gress has repealed the ten per cent.
tax law upon state bank circulation.
This is an indica tion that the South
expects the Democracy to fulfill its
pledge as soon as it takes possession
of the federal government. But the
fact that the state of Georgia will en-
dOrse these notes, will add nothing to
their value for the reason that Geor-
gia has not the best kind of reputa-
tion for fulfilling it's obligations, and
it's guarantee would be worth moth
ing. However, new legislation is not
needed by the states for the resump-
tion of this state bank issue. The
ten per cent. tax law repealed moth
ing, and few if any states, repealed
the laws upon their statute books re-
lating to the matter. All that would
be needed is a repeal of the tax by
congress and the old time rascality
could be revived at once. The Geor-
gians probably see no reason why it
will not he repealed.

DEMURRER SUSTAINED.

Judge Severance has filed decision
in the suit of l.. Dutton VS.. the City
of Mankato. sustaining the demurrer
to the complaint made by City At
torney Young. The demurrer took
the ground that the city in this in
stance is not liable for the nonfeaS-
ance of the mayor ia not locating
the hacks according to the provisions
of the ordinance requiring him to dc
so.
1t is believed that this settles the
case so far as the city is concerned,
although the complaint may be amend
ed and the case brought on again.

ACQUITTED.

N. b. Saunders, who was arrested
on the charge of opening one of E. G.
French'S letters, had his trial Tues
day afternoon. The case was not
completed until 9:30 pm, when it
was given to the jury. Mr.. Saunders
stated on the stand that he purchased
Mr.. French's stock of goods with the
understanding that he was to pay for
whatever goods had been ordered but
were not yet delivered. Mr.. Frenchs
mail came to the store and he opened
the envelopes which had the appear
ance Of containing bills or business
letters, hanging the bills on their
proper hook. One of these envelopes
proved to contain private letter of
some half dozen lines, typewriter,
which he replaced in the envelope and
left on the desk for Mr.. French. 1t
was upon another business subject.
The jury was out about fifteen min
utes and returned verdict of mot
guilty." as they could not see that a
felonious intent was shown. The
young man was then discharged.

NO WILDCAT MONEY.

The following interview with Mr..
John A. Willard we clip from Tues
days Pioneer Press:
John A. Willard, mayor of Manka-
to, was the center figure of small
group of politicians at the Merchants
last evening. The mayor created
quite sensation several weeks ago
when he announced his intention of
voting for the Harrison electors,
which was departure from the faith
of his fathers. On two successive
election he voted for Cleveland, but
the Chicago platform drove him from
the ranks of that party, and in this
recent elections he voted the Republi-
can ticket. He was asked by his
friends how he felt over the result of
the national contest and he said he
had no reason to regret the step he
had taken. Mayor Willard has not
been closely allied to any political
party for a number of years, and with
his belief in protective policy and
his love for sound currency, it was not
difficult matter for him to cast his
vote against Cleveland.
Il have always had great respect
Tor Cleveland, said Mayor Willard tC
this small party of friends, "but ]
could not accept the Chicago plat
form. This belief In Cleveland is pro.

THE St. Paul Globe went into vio-
lent commissions because it was re-
ported that Governor-elect Nelson
lunched with President j. j. Hill, a
day or two after the formers nomi-
nation. This association with a mil
lionaire was something terrible. But
the Globes silence over the fact that
that great Democrat, Grover Cleve-
land, dined with half a-doZen million
aires at Henry Wizards the other
night, is growing oppressive. Still
there is no doubt but what Mr.. Cleve-
land enjoyed himself. But won't the
Globe tell the public what it thinks
about it, and why it was worse for
Mr.. Nelson to lunch with millionaire
Hill than for Mr.. Cleveland to dine
with half-a-doZen millionaires at Viii
lard'S?

Candles Burning in a Cemetery.

Every one of the several hundred
graves in the Cemetery of the Most Holy
Redeemer, on East Biddle street, has
been decked with flowers and lighted
with candles during the past two days.
The big congregations of st. Michael's
and ST. James Catholic churches, who
use the cemetery, have decorated the
graves in honor of All Souls Day. For
two days men, women and children have
been coming and going, some on foot
and some in carriages, while many car
ried lunch with them and spent whole
day with the dead. At nightfall the
candles sent up pale flutter of light
from each mound. The visit to the
burying place is survival of the for
mer custom of celebrating mass and Of
