THE SAN JUAN's "HooDOO."
She Adds to Her List of Misforiunes-
An Cnobliging Tug.

Steamer San Juan has not succeeded in
raising the ''hoodoo" yet, She added an
other to her list of recent accidents
Wednesday evening on her trip to Sidney.
When almost across the Sound her shaft
broke, letting her wheel go the bottom of
the Sound. Her sail was hoisted and
she tackled for Port Blakeley, but could
make no Roadway. Finally the tug
Politkofsky came along with boom of
logs in tow for Port Blakeley, and. as she
rounded the point, Captain Nibbe
whistled for a line TO be towed in. He said
the tug could have kept right out about
200 feet further, and the tail of tie boom
would have come within reach so ne
could hook onto it, but instead of this Cap
tain Smith paid no attention, rounding
the point with a short turn, so that the
boom passed fully 200 feet from the boat.
At length Captain Nibbe had TO put out a
boat and send man TO Port BlakeIey for
the steamer Biz to come out and tow him
in. 1t Will be several days before the San
Juan will he ready to resume her run.

Should be Understood Now.

There are class Of men in this
State who have very excited political
aspirations. They have no settled
plans, and no settled convictions, but
are ready TO go into office on any wave
of popular sentiment. They are not
particular about the character Of their
political pabulum. They are ready to
swallow and assimilate any thing that
will quiet their nerves or act as a sed-
ative to their unhealthy ambition. Just
nov many of these gentlemen are
cour:ing the smiles of the Farmers
Alliance. The wooing is earnest, and
there is no mistaking the intensity of
the apparent affections. 1t is believed
by them that the surest way TO win Is
to travel fast n than the Alliance, and
point to their advance position as an
evidence of fealty. Everything that
has value is to be regarded as subject
for confscation, and against it they
must sound their battle cry.
These gentlemen had bitter realize
now that they were never making a
greater mistake. They have mis-
judged the objects Of the Alliance, and
they do not understand the ruling
characteristics Of the North Carolina

Democratic State Executive Committee
The session Of the committee in thi,
city yester day was largely attended,
the proceedings harmonious, and the
most excellent feeling prevailed. The
only action taken by the committee was
the adoption ofthe following resolution:
"That the Democratic Executive
Committee for this State hereby en-
dorses and approves the letter
of Ed. Chambers Smith, chair
man of this committee, to Mr.
j. c. Ellington, dated March
20, 1892, as setting forth the proper
and true test as to who shall be entitled
to participate in the township meet
ings and conventions Of the Democratic
party of North Carolina.
'sAnd we heartily commend the
manly utserances of that letter to the
Democracy of this State.''
That part of the letter which the
resolution was passed to emphasize
most reads as follows:
"The requisite that citizen must
vote for the candidate he has been in
strumental in naming is no new one,
and is essential to the preservation OF
the integrity of the party. l should
say therefore that only those who are
Democrats and intend to support the
Democratic nominees can have voice
in naming delegates to the various
Democratic conventions"
This is nothing mere than old-time
Democratic honesty, and is meant TO
preserve that honor, and thereby the
integrity of the Democratic party. II
prescribes no new tests, but simply as
serts that those who do not intend to
vote for the nominees of Democratic
conventions will not be qualified t,
particlt ate as delegates in such con
ventious No one who wants to be
politically honest should object to such
a precaution. It has always beer
taken and should be.

II there b. any who doubt the sub

it. It is full of strife and dis

to gaina and can gain by concert
of action. When the representatives
Of the basiness men of all classes made
this platform they put into it declara-
tion of principles, specific in demand,
comprehensive, and fair and Just to
all. Iney went into the last cam
paign on these principles and won a
great victory. Is there any reason for
abandoning them now? Are they not
as sound as when adopted? If changes
or additions are thought necessary
cannot these be brought about by ar
interchange of views in open conven
ton? The white people of NORTH
Caroline have never yet failed to ad
ju-t their political opinions to the cardi

Suit A Against a Jud ge.

The Code, in order to prevent de
lays in appeals, provides that if any
judge shall delay to make up the case
on appeal, to be sent to the Supreme
court, within sixty days after circu it
is over, he is liatle to a penalty o.
$3.50, to be recovered by any person
who shall sue for it, We learn that
such an action has been recently
brought against one of our Superior
court judges. We believe it is the
first case of the kind ever heard of in
this State. Ii is said by his friends
that the judge in the present ca Sc has a
complete defence by reason of the fact
that he was prevented by illness from
making up the case in the prescribed
time.

Liability of Saloon KeApers.

-r.---.s L4aplltly- oI- asale
T. Supreme court Nj this State ha,
Just decided, in case of State VS.. Kit.
telle from Mecklenburg, that license
to sell liquor being only issued by the
county commissioners after finding
tnat the applicant is qualified by moral
character and otherwise, such license
is a personal trust. Hence though the
licensee may employ clerks to sell for
him, if illegal sales are made by the
clerks as on Sundays, Or to minors,
the clerks knowing them to be such,
the licensee is himself liable to inlict-
ment as we'll as the clerks, since it is
criminal negligence in him not to keep
sufficient oversight to prevent a vio-
lation of the law. The court points
out that if this were not SO, it would
be a virtual repeal Of the law requir-
ing license, since icensee can employ
as clerk parties to whom the county
commissioners had refused to grant H.
cense as unfit, and, unless the licensee
was responsible for such clerk, there
would be no protection by reason OF
examining into the character of such
applicant and his rejection if found un-
fit. We learn that the point has been
ruled the same way in many other
States. The defendant in the present
case was proprietor Of hotel in Char
lotte, and testified that he had forbidden
his clerks to sell to minors.

General Vance is a member Of the

know that he but voices the sentiment
of many who can but STE that Cover
nor Holt is a typical North Carolinian,
representing in his own vocation the
agricultural interest of the State, and
possessing from practical experience a
knowledge Of what will best protect
and promote that interest.
We see Gove7.io Holt nearly every
day, as he is engaged in the discharge
Of his official duties in the Capitol, and
aside from the fact that the nomination
for Governor is due him as a matter
Of courtesy and custom, he justly de-
serves it 10y the able and impartial

many able Governors of this State,
some whose administrations have left
lasting benefits, but even the short
time Governor Holt has been in office
he has SO administered public affairs
as to make his administration one oi
the very best the State ever had. II
has been honest, safe and beneficial,
such one as every citizen should feel
a pride in maintaining.

The Election in Rhode island.

ne ELECTION IN RnOOe lSldnO
Republican success in Rhode Island
is not surprising. The main issue was
the return of Senator Aldrich to the
United States Senate, and as the Sen
ator is the leader of the opposition to
tariff reform, the Republican admins
tration centered all its influence in the
little State to save the champion of the
oppressive tariff The fact that the Re
publicans intend to resist every attempt
to modify the tariff, and omit
no opportunity to show their hostility
to the Democratic doctrine of low tariff
should nerve our people to renewed de-
termination to throw off the incubus.
According to the policy Of President
Harrison and his party there is to be
no relief from taxing the many to
support the few, from depressing the
industrial classes to enrich a few
Northern manufacturers. The result
OF the election in Rhode Island should
emphasize such an unfair doctrine and
strengthen the opposition to it.

DEMOCRATS are manifesting a great
deal of interest in politics now. We do
not remember a committee meeting as
largely attended as the one held III b IS
city last Thursday. 1t is an encour-
aging sign to see the white Democrats
actively engaged in the effort to save
their State from the possibility of Re-
publican rule again. This can only
be done be done by remaining united, |,
as heretofore. Alliance and non-Alli
ance Democrats owe it to themselves
and TO the best interest of their State
to stand as a unit in favor of financial
reform. That is the only way to brine
II about.

THE members Of the Alliance who
were recently in session at Auburn, in
this county, made more than one
change in the St. Louis platform.
They favored State banks as means
for distributing the currency, and that
the amount Of money in circulation be
increased to $50 per capita in the
States where it does not reach that
sum. The provision in favor Of the
government owning the Threads was
unanimously rejected, and the word
"control" substituted for s'ownership."

The "Geary Bilr' which passed the
House Of Representatives on Monday
by vote of 179 to 43 prohibits abso-
lutely the entry of any Chinese into
the United States, except such as NAV
have the special permission of the Sec
retary Of the Treasury to make a tenn
porary visit, no: being laborers or ar
tisans. And it also prohibits the re-
turn of such Chinese residents of this
country who may leave the United
States, even temporarily, for any pur-
pose. Upon the final vote on the pas
sage of the bill, Messrs. Branch,
Cowles, Crawford, Henderson and
Williams voted In The affirmative, and
Messrs. Alexander, Cheatham and
Grady in the negative. The bill will
in all probability be materially modi-
fed in the Senate, as the Chinese gov
ment was given notice that in the event
of its enactment into law, all diplo.
matte relations with this government
will be severed, and all Americans, IN.
Guiding missionaries, will be expelled
from China.
