abuse and bitterness OF The late
campaign in North Carolina, he
said that a number OF people
around our little towns needed a
trip. He said that one of the pro-
prietors of the firm he worked for
was Democrat, and the other was
Republican. Hc said that they
read and exchanged papers, and
often discussed politics on the high
plane of the issues involved, and
often that they would laugh to-
gether over the way the politicians
on each side worked up the people
into blind partisan fury. After
talking along ON this line for some
time he said: "Butler, if I were
you [ would quit trying to help the
farmers. They will not stick to-
gether and vote for their interests
like other classes. You may work
ever SO hard and honestly, yet a
part of the very people you are
working for will pull another way
and curse you. You can't afford to
cast your lot with people who are
controlled more by partisanship
than they are by their own inter
ests. The politicians will always
be sharp enough to keep them di-
vided on one pretext or another"
We told him that to some extent
there was something in what he
said, but that the farmers of the
country were as a class the best
and most honest citizens of the
country; that as a rule, when they
differed they did 80 honestly, anc
that We had great respect for 6
man who differed with us if he die
so honestly. Besides, we told hin
that there had been the greatest
awakening among the people since
he left the State that the wor]c
had been seen; that the people
were fast learning the truth, ane
that when they knew it they woult
act on it. We told him that il
the future the great mass of thu
farmers and laborers of the coun
try would vote for their interests
If they had to vo!e with differen
party at every election; that the
people from now on would vote
more for principle and less 70
party, and that thon the occupa
ton of the professional politician
would be gone. Besides, we tolt
him this country was gone as
Republic if the great masses O
the people did not arouse them
selves and wrest the governmen
from the hands of monopolies ant
their tools, the politicians. Il
short, We are i'll this fight from pa
triotic motives, and we will fight i
out, irrespective of who agree
with us or does not.

A GOVERNMENT OF PLUMBER.

We have omitted so far TO comment
upon the extraordinary action Of the
Committee on Grounds and Buildings on
Tuesday evening in making present or
$500 Of the citys money when awarding
the contracts for gas fixtures and metallic
work for the new City Hall, in expecta-
ton Of scme explanation Of the circum-
stance which has not come. Colonel Cut
shaw, the trusted City Engineer. told
the committee emphatically that the arti-
ces to be furnished by the lower bidders
met the city's requirements entirely. Not
withstanding this. however. the majority
OF the committee awarded the contracts
10 the highest bidders, thus throwing
away $500 Of the city's money as effec-
lively as If they had torn 1t up and
thrown the fragments in the fire.
To what are we coming If this is TO be
the rule Of procedure in this city? If the
Street Committee can give away the city's
money 10 sewer diggers and the Com
rnittee on Grounds and Buildings can
give away s2lOO Of her money one even
ing to two contractors, Of course, each
other committee can give away whatever
sum II chooses and we have then come
TO the pass that the city government
IS a race between the different commit
tees TO see which can give away the most
Of the public money contributed by the
taxpayers Of the city. City government
then is no longer 10 be government, but
a wholesale scheme Of plumber. Things
had just as well be called by their right
names. and If this is TO be the theory
for spending the public money, il is rob-
berry and plumber and nothing less
This thing has got to be corrected. If
the voters of the city will arouse them
selves and send men to their city council
who will spend the money of the tax
payers so as 10 secure them the best re-
suits for the money spent. the thing will
be all right. If, however. the majority
Of the voters are determined TO perpe-
tuate city government that robs the
taxpayer 20 create fund for favorites

be failure here and the Legislature
should be appealed to, 10 put the govern
ment OF the city under commissioners.

We clip from the New York Herald the
following very pointed and very sensible
editorial:
The monthly review Of Southern indus
tries shows that sectional prejudices are
stepping into the grave and the bonds of
common interest are being frightened. A
new paper mill here, new cotton mill
there, a new iron mine opened in one
place, large tract Of valuable forest
bought up in another place, show plainly
enough that Southern enterprise and
Northern capital are working together
for the common veal
A union based on political aspirations
is a good thing. but union based on
large investments and hoped for diyi-
dends is not easily broken. When the
United States were practically two ma
tions, with outlook, customs, habits
which were not simply different but an
tagOnistic: when North and South were
only slightly interdependent commercial
ly. jealousies and prejudices and ami
mosities were easily aroused and allayed
with difficulty.
Nowadays the whole complexion of life
has altered. Massachusetts has put a
pile of money into Alabama. The mer-
chants of the West are silent partners in
ventures scattered from the Potomac to
the Gulf. Louisiana and New York
share the fate of new schemes.
Business is better than a sponge TO
clean the old slate and make II ready
for fresh sum in addition. 1t isn't a
new South. it's the South with its eyes
open; ii isn't a new North, it's the North
listening 10 the hum of Southern ma
chinery with personal interest in the
sale of it's products.
These things insure the future better
than Notifications and standing army.
This strikes the true keynote. Let our
Northern brethren dispel from their
minds their prejudices and ideas Of tur-
bulence and violence in the South and
invest their money in the countless op-
portunities for doubling and quadrupling
it which the South offers. and we will
hear no more of force bills and dis
loyalty. That is the way 10 make "a
more perfect Union"

Sixth and Duval streets.
The Committee on Health also held
a meeting at the same hour, and aftec
the transaction OF routine business the
question Of building an addition to the
crematory, or a new crematory, came up
for discussion. DR. Oppenhimer, president
OF the Board of Health, urged upon the
committee speedy action in regard 10
the matter, saying that the present Gre
matory would be unable TO handle all
of the garbage during the coming sum-
mer and with the threats OF n pestilence.
unusual care should be taken to keep the
city clean.
Mr.. King moved that 5000 be asked for
OF the Council to build an addition to the
crematory.
Mr. Grimes offered as a substitute that
the Council be asked for 5000 10 build
a crematory i'm the eastern part OF the
city. The substitute was adopted.
Messrs. King and Grimes were ap-
