WHITELAW REID.

The weakest thing done at
Minneapolis was the nomination
of Whitelaw Reid for the Vice
Presidency. 1t is true that Mr..
Reid is man of great ability,
and if party service counts he de-
serves the honor.
The object of his nomination
was to strengthen the ticket in
New York, and it is strange that
the politicians gathered at Min
neapolis overlooked the element
of Reid's weakness.
For years the New York Trib-
une has beer the avowe1 enemy
of organized labor, and his pa
per is printed by ''rat" printers.
The International Typograpi-
cal Union, the strongest oftrades
unions, claims to have reduced
the circulation of the Tribune
from something near a hundred
thousand to seven thousand.
The American Federation of
labor, composed of the different
trades unions, undoubtedly holds
the balance of power New York
State. 1t is not a political Or
ganiza ton but it will stand by
a friend and cut an enemy with
out regard to his views on the
tariff or financial questions.
Nothing but barrels of Doodle
can carry New York for Harri-
son and Reid. The President
would be stronger without him.
Harrison as the champion of
the force bill and the embodiment
of all that is offensive to the
South in the Republican party,
with Reid, the chief of it's North
ern newspaper slanderers, will
solidfy the South.
The chances for Democratic
success have never been SO good
since the war.

A CONVENTION TOWN.

Winston-Salem will soon have
reputa ton as a convention
town. She is getting a good
share of what is going in that
line this year and is looking out
for next year very successfully.
The Baptist State Sunday school
convention, the State Dental As
ISOLATION and the two masonic
meetings here this week is quite
IL good start.
The Western North Carolina
conference will meet here in the
fall, the next annual meeting of
the grand lodge of Odd Fellows,
and the State Medical Associa-
ton will be held here. The III
crease in hotel facilities is already
making business, not only hotel
business, but bringing people and
money to the town.
A number of these conventions
would not have come here but
for the building of a rev hotel.
These things together with the
improvement of the railroad fac
ilities, make it certain that there
will be more visitors to Wins
ton-Salem this year than ever be-
fore in the history of the city.
But their is room for more i'm
A good hotel down town and
the extension of the Norfolk &
Western to d connection with
the Georgia Carolina and North

ergy and ability its success is SO
largely due.

institutions drawing patronage
from all parts of this country,
and with an excellent system oil

supplied with educational faciii.

ter. An educat ted and educating

plished by push and pluck and
its success as a business enter

SOUTHERN HISTORY.

Gen. Rufus Barringer, writing
about slavery in the South, after
speaking of the relations of mas
ter and servant and the influence
of the tender sentiment that ex-
listed, upon Southern refinement,
says:
"This same sentiment still fingers
among us, but is destined soon to be
but memory, tradition, and when
the few intelligent survivors of the
ante bellum period have all gone, there
is danger that the subject of slavery
and the old Southern home life will
alike be treated as a 'barbaric rule"
with scarcely relievil G touch, with
scarcely column or line to tell the
story of the noble men and women,
our ancestors, who once bore gentle
sway over this goodly land.
"Shall we allow this prophecy to
be true? If true, by whose fault will it
be? Have we no man, no woman of
mature years who can and will yet
give us pen pictures of the time they
| so well loved, and now so love to talk
about? And if at this late hour, the
fathers and mothers and grandparents
are timid in the use of those powers so
long dormant, and hesitate to draw
the picture or tell the familiar story,
where are the young men and maid
ems, these products of the new civil
zation?' Have the no interest in
these matters that they hasten not to
draw from their treasure places the
precious stories and traditions which
are fast fitting away-even now but a
memory of by gone days and GUS
toms?"
The highest type ofciviJization
found in a st 'ictly agricultural
people in all the history of the
world, was that of the South Ill
ante-bellum days.
The man or woman who will
make the true picture, or tell the
true story of that life and civil
cation will do the South a real
service and earn the gratitude of
all Southerners who regard the
institutions of their ancestors
with love and veneration.
In the busy rush of the new
South their is "a disposition to
forget the customs of other days
and their is danger that the true
story of that distinctive and un-
| surpassed type of civilization will
be lost to history.
Here is indeed IL rich field for
someSouthern writer. No North
Carolinian, and, perhaps no
Southerner could do the work
better, in point of accuracy and
interest, than DR.. Kingsbury OF
the Wilmington Messenger.

THIRD PARTY POLITICS.

The report of Third Party
county conventions published IN
THE SENTINEL, brings II sigh
of relief to every true Demo-
cratic heart. In none of the
meetings was any Third Party
strength developed, unless in the
Catawba convention where 16O
turned out. In Cabarrus there
were only ST. Guilford so and a
dissension; in Wake, 80; in John
son, %; in Rowan, so; in Burke,
80; in CASTOR, 70; in Wayne, 81.
The number in Edgecombe was
not reported, but there is NO
cause to apprehend that Elias
Carr will fail to bring his own
county into the Democratic col
umn.
This would make the average
attendance in nine counties of a
little more than fifty, and in
nearly all the party sho we'd it's
greatest strength. Upon the
heels of the disappointment re-
sulting from the development of
SO little strength, comes the
worst calamity which could be-
fall the Third Party, the death
of it's leader, and of leader
whose place cannot be filled.
There is no prospect for the
success of the Peoples Party in
North Carolina. Butler himself
is being blamed by his party or
gans for not capturing the DEM
o.ratic convention. There is no
doubt that he intended at the
outset, to launch the Peoples
Party in this state, until he saw
that there was no prospect OF
success. THE SENTINEL knows
that he counselled against ex-
extreme measures in the Peoples
Party convention which preced-
ed the Democratic State conven-
ton at Raleigh, and at one time
adjourned the convention to pre-
vent precipitate action on its
part. Finding that the Alliance
cannot yet everything it wants,
that it cannot obtain the de-
mands of the st. Louis platform,
Butler will probably disappoint-
eddy content himself with the
Ocala demands which are incor-
porated in the State Democratic
platform. The State ticket NOM
mated hy the Democratein North
Carolina will be triumphantly
elected.

Our Pension Roll.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times

One year ago there were 676, 100
names on our pension roll. By the
close of the present fiscal year, ending
with the present month, there will be
about $4,000 names on the pension
roll, or quite as many as the entire
force of Grants armies at the close of
the war
We are now issuing new pensions
at the rate of nearly or quite 10000
per month, and by the close of the
coming fiscal year the pension roll
will reach 100000, with the proba-
bility that that number will be exceed
ed. In short, we are likely SOON to
have on our pension roll more names
than we're on the extire army roll
when Lee surrendered at Appomat-
tox.
Some seven years after the close of
the wal, when the pension appropria-
ton had grown to the then appalling
amount of $3o,000,000, General Gar
field, Chairman of Appropriations. in
reporting to the House that amount
for pensions, felt called upon to apol-
ogize for the unexpected increase and
assured the House and country that
the pension appropriation had reach
ed its highest point and that it would
be speedily decreased.
Five years ago the steady growth
of persons scored the annual appro>
priation up to s75,OOO,OOO. 1t was
then believed that high water mark
had been reached, and such assurances
were then given to the country by
those who had favored the new pen
sioDs bills; but the actual expenditure
for pensions this year foots up the
startling sum of S140,847 AT, being
nearly three times the amount of the
entire revenues of the government
when Lincoln was elected President.
If we shall continue to increase pen
siors during the next fiscal year as
they hare been increased this year, we
will have fully 100000 of pension
ers, costing nearly or quite $500, 900,
600 annually. We will be paying
more pensioners than were ever in the
Union armies at any time during the
war, and yet hundreds of thousands
have died and other hundreds of
thousands have never applied for a
pension.
The natural inquiry is-Where do
all the pensioners come from? Who
can answer that question? The next
natural inquiry is-Where is the pen
sion profiigacy to stop? Who can
answer that now grave question? An
other inquiry likely to come up from
the people at no distant day is-How
long will the nation submit to the
NEST profigate pension system of the
worlds history, when countless num-
bers of the most gallant soldiers have
never sought pension and would
now blush to be classed as pensioners
Who can answer that question.
