Indiscrlmlnate Pnffery.

1t is somewhere related, by an
editor of the earlier ages, that
there is tide in the affairs of
men, which leads on to fortune.
We North Carolina editors
want to take one good serf bath
in that tide. There is also a
tide in the affairs of a news
paper which also leads on-not
to fortune-but on to a disre-
gard Of the honest and just
opinions Of a journal, and, to a
great extent, "fetters our free
born reason" as we politicians
sometimes say. That tide Is
''indiscriminate puffery."
The evils growing out of this
practice are many and far
reaching in their results. Pro-
miscuous and fulsome praise is
like a bad cigar e for a nick)-
the more you puff, the worse it
gets.
One evil is, it begets a loss Of
trust in honest and truthful ex-
pressions of opinion; produces
criticisms of q ridicule nature,
and being indiscriminate, il
strikes a blow at the substantial
columns Of wise leadership
upon which every discrete paper
is built.
Another evil is, il becomes,
in time, nauseating, and editors
using the paint.brush Of indis.
criminate puffery oft times be.
come the laughing stock of the
public. II frequently happens
that that is about the only stock
many q poor fellow has in the
end.
Another evil is-when allud.
ing to persons--it causes them
to be vain, and a preacher, in
the olden times, once used vani
ty in connection with vexatior
of spirit. Brethren, we ought
not TO vex the public save in the
cause oftruth, justice and right
and for a settlement Of what il
honestly due US on subscriptions
and advertisements.
This leads us 10 say that in
discriminate puffery is an ali
machine which initiates q grea'
many small things. Nodoubt yol
have seen instances wherein th,
indiscriminate blowing of 1
fellow has made many a nonpa
riel lower-case private thinl
himself q Great Primer cap A
Colonel. This is a false bash
upon which TO build opinions.
1ndiscriminate puffery as I,
places and things Ia another
evil. II misleads the public anC
produces unsatisfactory results
as to the places and things puff
ed, and the paper doing th,
putting. This destroys conf
dence in the sound judgemen
Of a paper to mould opinion
and its ability to lead correctl,
and iudiciously.

ON THE VERGE OF DESTRUCTION
The story was Exaggerated.

The Story was Exaggerated.
The Reidsville Review of Fri
terday contains the following in
regard to the Wrightsville
episode:
A very sensational article ap-
peared in the Winston Sentinel
one day this week which calls
for a passing notice at our
hands. The Wrightsville cor
respondent of that paper fur
nished the story which was in
substance that Sergeant White,
of Company G.. Sid Regiment
(Reidsville Rifies) had forced his
way into the dressing room of a
respectable young lady and in
suited her with indecent propo-
sails. The story was enlarged
upon and exaggerated greatly
and was calculated to convey
the impression that Sergeant
White was guilty of a very helm
Gus offense. The Review has
made inquiries among members
of the military who have re-
turned since the episode and
their version of the affair is en-
tIrely different from that given
by the Winston paper. 1t is
true that White was arrested
and confined in the guard house
while his accusers exerted them
selves to procure evidence a.
gainst him; but after twenty
four hours spent in the vain at
tempt to find some facts to boil
ster up the charge, they gave it
up and Sergeant White was dis
charged under such circum-
stances as to entirely exhoner-
ate him. 1t is unnecessary to
go into the details of the matter
but in justice to Sergeant White
the Review is warranted in say
ing that it believes the Sentinel
correspondent allowed his pre-
judices against the Reidsville
military to warp his better judg-
ment and he drew upon his i'm
imagination for the main part of
the story.

DURHAM NORTH CAROLINA WEDNESDAY AUGUST Il, 1892.
Hurrygraphs from theSDurham
Exrn

IT is the opinion Of visitors Il
our town that Durham is nov
| in the midst of the bigges
building movement in her his
tory. They have a correct
opinion, too, which is the beauty
Of it.
THE unkindest cut of all il
the Durham county Peoples
party convention was the fact
that a man was nominated fol
an Office, and did not get a vote
throughout three ballots. The
man who nominated him did
not even vote for him.
MORE workmen to be employ
ed. More piling up Of brick.
Another large store house to 90
up in a few weeks. This is the
way Durham is whirling along.
q. G. Farthing is the next man
to take his place in the building
procession. The watchword is
onward.
THERE is more building going
on in Durham now than, per
haps, at any other one time in
the history of the town. More
workmen of all classes are be.
ing employed. Durham is far
from standing still. This will
be known in our annals as the
building summer.
NEWS has been received in
New Orleans of a big battle in
the interior of Honduras be-
tween the Government troops
and the RevoluGlonists. The
latter were defeated. At Cuba
the American consulate was
riddled with bullets and two
men were shot. What will Mr..
Harrison do about this affair?
THE Democratic congression-
al District committee, of the
Fifth District, met here Thurs.
day, TO arrange appointments
for discussions between the
Republican and the Peoples
Party candidates. Both of
these failed to materialize and
were conspicuous for their abb
sence. This means, we take it,
the two opposing forces do not
want a joint canvass. They
would rather bushwhack, and
not listen to a fair discussion of
the pending issues. In the
meantime the Democrats are
not afraid to turn on the light.

THE Raleigh Signal, Republi-
can newspaper, in its issue of
last week, Is full of food for
serious thought to every white
man in the State. We hope that
every Peoples party man will
read it and reflect upon the ten.
dency of things in this State.
Here are some choice extracts
taken in a random manner from
its editorial page:
with no Republican State
ticket i'm the field Mr.. Elias Carr
will be beaten by fifty thou
sand"
"The Peoples party supported
by the Republicans can elect
: their State ticket, and in con.
junction with the Republicans
can secure a majority of both
Houses of the Legislature. II
this result can be obtained, the
colored people will get more
benefit therefrom than the white
Republicans because there are
so many more colored Republi-
cans than whites" :
After naming over a number
of advantages to colored men,
and the COMMITTEES they will be
placed on the Signal adds:
1--WE want to accomplish these
things TOR the colored people,
IL can be done through the Peo
ple's party If the Republicans
will not nominate q State tick
et."
Men of North Carolina take
these thoughts home with you
and digest them.

poses-to get Blaine off the track and
keep him off, and to help the President

what of mess of the Blaine business.
True, he secured from Blaine the fatal

Harrison about the Coppinger matter
she took charge of her husbands po-
litical fortunes and brought on the un-

Harrison had supposed Elkins astute
enough and influential enough with
the Blaines TO avert this, but he was
no match for Mrs. Blaine.
