Mr.. Quarles, who had recently resigned,
and that he did no editorial work. The
motto of this paper is fairness" in all
such matters, and we make the correc
ton in the interest of fair play.
~ The Laurinburg Exchange winds
up its doleful comments on "Cleve
lands Ideas" as follows: I'VE should
not be at all surprised if Wayne
McVeagh is sent to the court of st.
James, sockless Jerry made Seer tary
of Agriculture, and DR.. Exum receive
the Mexican Mission. Mr.. Cleveland
evidently thinks the horse that pulled
the pillow has no claim On the fodder"
~ It seems that the mill has been
very busy on grinding out, or at least
irving. new counties Bills have been
introduced to divide Chatham and
establish Burgwyn county; to cut up
Stokes, Surry and Wilkes and make
Elkin county, and to form Scotland
county out of portions of Robson and
Richmond. The main arguments used
in favor of all these bills is to help
the party"
The Scotland Neck Democrat
says: THE Democrat has nothing to
say against Mr.. Daniels nor any other
Raleigh editor; but it seemed like the
work of children for the legislature to
empower a committee to make a con
tract directly with he job printers and
then ignore that contract in caucus"
Yes, bro her billiard, the partisans
will talk us, kill contracts in aucus or
in any way balk us, if they can.
~ 1t is about settled now that the
Democrats will have a majority over
both Republicans and Popullsts in the
next U. S. Senate. The legislature of
Wyoming having failed to elect, the
Governor, who is a Democrat, will ap-
point the Senat II from that State. In
North Dakota we see by a fusion Of the
Democrats and Republicans, a Demo
crat was elected, while in Kansas the
Democrats and Populi8ts conferred on a
Democrat and elected him.
~ The Roanoke NetrS, of the 23d,
says: THE bill to repeal the charter
of the State Alliance now pending in
the Legislature seems to US to be a novel
procedure. The Alliance charter is
the same now as it was when granted,
and there is no more need to repeal it
now than there was reason to refuse it
in the first instance. Tne charter
should not be repealed, so far as we
can understand. Any Objectionable
features could be eliminated"
~ General Pierre Gustave Toutant
Beauregard, said to be the last survivor
Of the full rank Generals of the Con
federate army, died at his residence in
New Orleans at 10 10 p. m, February
20, of heart failure. 1t is said that
when the death of Gen. B. F. Butler
was communicated to Gen. Beauregard
he remarked, Another n of u is
gone; soon none of us will be left"
General B~eauregard ordered the first
| gun fired on Fort Sumter, and led the
victors at Bull Run soon afterwards,
~ The New York Recorder, com
menting on the composition Of Mr..
Cleveland's Cabinet, winds US as fol
lows: Walter @, Gresham is the
high-minded Republican statesman to
day that he has always been, and he
will carry the convictions Of his life
time into Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet and
act upon them on all occasions. His
presence there will be a guarantee to
the country that no radical disturbance
of the Republican policies of the past
thirty twoyears will be attempted dur
ing Cleveland's term"
~ We certainly appreciate the con
gratulati ms received this week from
brethren throughout the State, in not
only kind words, but deeds as we'll.
One days mail this week brought us
more subscriptions and renewals than
any other day in three months. Now,
brethren, if you wish a faithful sentinel
in Raleigh, you must not withholdyour
encouragement. Now is the time for
a man to show what he is made of. If
you are a reformer indeed, if you are
an Alllanceman indeed, you should not
let an opportunity pass without making
an effort to increase the circulation of
this paper in your community.
