The managers have erected sort of
tariff around its walls, and have

In New York trusts and Other mo-
nopoIistic combinations are threat
ened with a $4,000 fine as pun
ishment for their formation. There
is great deal more justice in such
law than there is in thu organizers of
a trust.
PEOPLE of tie Twin City cannot
send their friends and relatives more
local news than by mailing them
copy of the weekly SENTINEL. That
paper is especially agreeable to those
who have lived in this part of the
State in years gone by.
We notice that charges have been
preferred against Postmaster Brady
of Charlotte. We don't suppose
there any charges against DR.. Wheel
er, the. Winston postmaster. If there
were, one of his bland smiles would
be almost enough to brush them
away.
IT does seem queer that married
woman should be called an I'm

have the same origin with our word
infant ''Infanta" is a little borne
by every one of the daughters OF the
Kings of Spain and Portugal except
the eldest.
VIRGINIA will hold big State con-
vention in August, it will be the big
gest political convention ever as
s4mbled there We believe in big
conventions. They are less easily
controlled by tricksters and bosses;
on the other hand they are more apt
to represent the popular will.
We are glad to note that the Presi-

GROVER CLEVELAND seems to have
laid down a rule of action that indi-
Gates his mind pretty clearly. Said

people will ask: "Who will this hit

A CALIFORNIA bank suspended re-
Gently and it was learned that the
vice president and manager had Dor
rowed $4,000 from the institu-
ton, most of his notes being unse-
cured. California has a bank COM
mission, hut this manner OF doing
business seems to have escaped their
attention A bad man in a bank is a
bad thing.
AN awkward typographical mis-
take appears in Sundays issue of the
Charlotte Observer when it makes
reinstatement that in 1885 Lafayette
visited Raleigh. AS that French
patriot was born in 1857 and died
in 1884 We suppose he was doing
something else than visit Raleigh in
1885 However, we do not wish to

for a dead man to visit.
SENATOR SHERMAN in reply to Tom

New York and Pennsylvania Boss

A RIVAL steamship company not
to be outdone proposes to build a
vessel over 100 feet longer than the
Great Eastern. The new vessel will
BE- called the Gigantic and sbe will be
expected to cross the ocean in less
than five days The great size of
such a vessel may be imagined by
comparing her with an ordinary
200-foot block and looking up
street the distance of over three of
