AN EVASIVE REPLY.

For some time after the campaign
COLONEL r'AIRBROTHER, Of he Bull
Durham section of our common country,
was quite frank and open in dealing with
the question of tn" pensioners He met
al corners and all questions with a most
refreshing candOr
Recently, however, The Morning Ad-
vertiser, seeking to ascertain whether in
his vigorous characterization of this class
COLONEL FAIRBROTHER made any men
tai reservations in favor of one above
another, asked that gentleman whether
his remarks applied to 1.-The southern
gentlemen who served in the war with
Mexico and afterward in the Confederate
army, their widows, orphans, heirs, ad
ministrators or assigns"
The colonies reply, through THE DUR
HAM GLOBE, is distinguished by that fine
reiicence which is incumbent upon a man
about to assume the responsibilities of a
prominent public office and has been
cautioned not to talk too freely in ad
vance concerning its affairs In other
words, his reply is not satisfactory. He
evades the issue. He says:
The widows and orphans indeed! Their
heirs and assigns-bah! According to the his
tory, and modern history runs pretty strigrt,
the Mexican War ended about forty five or
forty six years ago.! Then what a charming
lot of help ess orphans forty five year Of
now be on the cold yet tender-if
even clammy charities of this great govern
ment. Bring up the orphans and let us counl
'em let IS look en- square in the face, and
let our old callouseu heart bleed a tub of
blood for EN-.
Not II word, it will be perceived, about
the southern gentlemen" concerning
whom we made this inquiry. Are there
none Of them left? Are there no widows
and orphans Of the Mexican war soldiers
still living? If they are all gone, who is
receiving the pensions paid on this &C.
count? There are 90, 600 Mexican war
pensioners on the rolls-a larger army
than We ever had in the field at any one
time during that a Who are they?
The great bulk of the mount paid to
Mexican war pensioners goes to the
South, GENERAL BEAUREGARD, we IN
derstand, draws his stipend with military
regularity. What we are trying to get
at Is whether the Mexican war pension
ers in the South are a lot of greasy,
pediculous bummers, frauds and thieves
who are improperly drawing money from
the government.
The cotOnels reply leads US to suspect
that he thinks they are, but it is am
bisious. We hope the fact that he is to

POsTOFFICE


We understand that Mr.. 81. A.
Reams, a man who is under a cloud
in this community, and VIII" has a
public record which will be printed,
is making a desperate and deter.
mined effort for the p~ostoftice
The truth of the matter is, Cleve-
land will never appoint such a man
to such a place. All the petitions IN
christendom will avail nothing COM
pared with the afidavits which will
be, and which are being prepared.
The democratic party proposes, as
we understand its policy, to appoint
deserving men.
H. A. Reams knows what he ha
done-aDd this community has some
thoughts upon the subject. THE
GLOBE says that any other candidate
is entitled to the office a dozen times
more than Reams, and it say 8 it with
the knowledge of a court record in
front of it.
in the first place we honestly be
lieve that Reams never made a demo
cratic vote. We believe that we
should reward men who have done
something for party.
While we have great admiration
for Buck Blackwell and for bis
wOrk-and while he is our first
choice, we only echo the real senti-
ment of the town when we say that
if he cannot secure the place, then.
that Mr.. Jim Robinson, of the Dur
ham Sun, is the man for it.
Robinson has labored in season
and out of season for the democratic
party, and he has, after Blackwell's
claims have been submitted, the
strongest moral and Legitimate hold
on that job.
Let Robinson and Blackwell fix it
up-one of them should have it.
This is the idea of many people OF
the town, and the fact that Rean s
is really in earnest, he should early
withdraw in favor of honest Dick
Howerton.

HE THINKS US SMART.

Mr.. MURAT HALsTEAD, of the Brook.
lyn Standard Union, says that he thinks
that this Old Man is severely and ire
trievably 'etuck" on himself and his
phrases. He intimates that we revile the
Union soldiers and do lots of things that
he, in his great, good heart, would not do.
But the Great Editor, who thus jumps
upon our material frame, should remem-
Der that he often and frequently made an
ass of himself and that he wrecked the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Not only this, but when the TRULY
GREAT HALsTEAD was nominated by a
republican president for an important
republican position, a republican senate
refused t 0 confirm him, for the simple
reason that he had called the great Ken
tuckian, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, a brutal
butcher.
1t may be possible that the Old Man
of this print shop is 'stuck" on himself,
or as a more accomplished amanuensis
would say "stuck" on himself.
The phrases which we use are perhaps
common place and we have never claimed
that they were original GSee Webster's
unabridged dictionary
Mr. ~.iALsTEAD was obliged to leave
Ohio, and especially Cincinnati, because,
we suppose, of the fact that he possessed
great originality. We also remember
that JOHN MCLFAN's Cincinnati Enquirer
Gazette failed to even pay its expenses.
Alas and such is the penalty of the
fine old men who are stuck" on them.

Referring to Colonel AL Fairbrother
and his vinegary views, the Brooklyn
Standard Union says:
The recent utterances of Colonel" AL Fair
brother. as ventilated in his newspaper, The
DURHAM GLOBE. irresiStihIy compel the CON
clusion that Mr.. FairbrOther is severely and
irretrieyahlV stuck" on himself and his
phrases. This is shown by the frequent repe-
titIon of such of them as he evidently deems
will take with the men who consider it a fine
and manly thing to revile the Union soldiers
or their widows and orphans.
This is unjust to a distinguished jour.
nalist Colonel Fairbrother publishes a
representative newspaper in North Caro-.
lima. He reflects the sentiment of his
state touching the war veterans as a
polished prism reflects light. He is a
courageous man and is not afraid to utter
the thoughts which rise in him. He is
not afraid to represent the true sentiment
of his section. Let him be credited with
courage as we'll as genius.

AN economist. who of
course knows all about it, says that the
farmers in the agricultural states of the
west and northwest, the south and the
southwest, are poor only because they
do not know how to take advantage of
their opportunities He AYERS that a
man with 100 acres of rich land cannot
make a living on it, when it really ought
to give az existence TO eighty people if
it were properly managed If this gifted
man knows how to make 100 acres of
land support eighty people he should
not be permitted to sleep until he has
impaired his secret to a waiting world.
There is no doubt that diversified agri-
culture and improved methods of work
would make many farms more profitable
than they are, but it will hardly do to
assume that farmers as a class are fools.

be Mr.. CLEvELAND's commissioner of

ing it clear.-New York Morning Ad-
vertiser.
To TESS up, as is our custom, and to
cause The GLOBE to tell the plain, un-
vanished truth, w must say to the
esteemed Advertiser that we had no
thought of being evasive-while on the
other hand, as We believed, We clearly
met the case.
We know that there are Mexican sol
diers who saw real service as there are
Union soldiers who saw real service, still
living, still receiving and still deserving
pensions.
We know, also, that the national treas
ury has been looted by the same dishon-
est methods in the name of Mexican
soldiers as have disgraced the present
pension bureau which doles out the
monthly stipends to bummers, sneaks
and thieves W ho never smelled real pow
der and who never saw real service in
the Union army.
The plain fact of the business is, there
need be no evasion.
This newspaper has always insisted
that to honorable soldiers, those who
saw real service, a liberal and compass
| sionate pension should be granted.
But it does say that all these crocodile
tears and all this false sentiment which
northern papers spring upon a robbed
and impoverished country, is the cheap
est kind of clap trap.
Pension brave soldiers, and then fire
the camp followers and coffee coolers.
"Thieves' are sentiments.
