III WAY IT Is.

AS ~ va NNNA~N
but We do despise the kind of Newspaper
work which allows a James-crow squirt
of a reporter to edit a paper by telegraph.
But in this country where the editor be-
comes a mendicant and turns a hand
organ with a label on Help the Poor" of
course we may expect many editors Of
many kinds because they are of necessity
cheap.
THE GLOBE admires JOE CALDWELL
and has said so. 1t admires his Char
lotte Observer because he has made a
newspaper out of it and because he has
opinions ard prints them. But his man
aging editor should be kicked across the
floor of his print shop. We take excep-
tons to the alleged report of the Green's
boro exercises-wherein MAJOR GUTH-
RiE is assailed in this manner
At > o'clock a reunion of confederate
soldiers was held in the Pavilion, and
they were addressed by MAJOR GUTHRIE,
who has the very bad taste to make a
third party speech, although he was ad-
dressing men of all parties. 1t was a
most unexpected and uncalled for Incl
dent aud a great deal Of indignation was
aroused by it.
In the first place MAJOR GUTHRIE
never made a third party speech. The
ass who said he made a third party
speech was troubled with the night mare.
MAJOR GUTHRIE did say that the third
party which was in session, as he spoke,
showed what freedom had dOne-What a
boon il was to be free Of tyrant king. 1t
was a fitting illustration-it was what
any man with a full and honest heart
was speaking he saw the vast assemblage
in OMAHA party of people Of all sec
tions, gathered to gether and there for
the common purpose as they supposed
of righting their wrongs and causing
legislation which would help them all,
and the major saw in that meeting what
any man with brains would have seen
The rights of a sovereign.
No priest ridden or king-ridden crowd
was that. 1t was free thought and free
speech and free everything-nO chance
to discount the idea because the men
there had a think tank with them and
they were using it.
The trouble is and will be for a long
time yet, there are cheap chumps who
democratic speeches. If all is not
democratic they at once see an enemy
they snuff the business from afar and to
a mild expression hell, is to pay.
Just how long such idiocy will hold in
this country we do not know. But we
do know that just as long as it does hold
this country will not be what it other
wise would be-and we propose to say
so. There is such a thing, we are told,
as being priest-ridden. Demoracy-rid-
business is not what we want.
There should be some common sense
1t is just as important now as it
was years ago.
This country hangs to the traditions
of thirty years ago and the first man who
utters an original thought is branded as
an enemy. GUTARIE is not an exception.
lie thinks and expresses an opinion be-
he does some cheap scribblers
him. Had GUTHRIE hOwled and
for the democratic ticket The OBJ
server chump would have praised him.
But he did not.
And here is the deduction
MAJOR GUTHRIE was invited to de-
liver an address. We have a report,
from a confederate soldier and
who saw the red smoke of battle and
ne says that GUTHRIE's speech was fine
ior and that no man was other than
and highly pleased with it that
t was to the point and all this and that.
Dur correspondent to-day has northern
cad which was shot into his body-and
want to know how much lead The
Observer fellow has in his ~hide-except
he leads which The Observer editor
gave his rot from Greensboro.
And again We want tC know what par
ocular right any newspaper scribbler has
o criticize 4 gentleman who is invited to
make a speech. If the man is invited he
be accorded the right to say what
he thinks. And it would be a boor who
would jump a guest for talking. MAJOR
GUTHRIE has many friends in North
Carolina and the attempt to belittle his
Greensboro talk will simply increase his
He has our sympathy. Any
man WHO'S the victim of a bushwhacher.
AS TO WEAVER.
