ANOTHER Memorial day has come
and once more memories of the
times that tried mems souls will be
awakened by the circumstances OF
the occasion It is we'll for these
memories to be fostered, to be kept
slive by those who shared IN those
patriotic trials and to be given form
and shape in the minds OF the
Younger generation. L IS of but
little moment that the contest WAS
between ourselves End the North
ern people, who are now our feliow
citizens in s common country and
under a common government, for
the bitterness of the strife has sub
sided and the pains of those fateful
days have measurably passed away.
But no matter with whom the con-
test was vaged. no matter what was
the cause of conflict, nor who was
right and who was wrong, thu war
period OF our history is most re-
markable episode in the life of our
people and one that should never
fade from our remembrance.
It was a period TO which the
Southern people to the remotest
gentr rations can re7ert with pride.
Are we proud Of our revolutionary
fathers? Do we take pleasure in
recalling those sturdy men who
won our independence for Us and
established cur iib9rties as freemen?
As noble as Vere the patriots oi
1776, still more worthy Of admira
ton were their defendants who
thirty years ago fought the mos
terrific battles and conducted the
greatest campaigns in the history O.
the world And with what pride
may We not dwell on the horoisu
md sacrifice displayed By our whole
people Particularly have the peo
pie of North Carolina reason to
glory IN the achievements and nobl,
bearing Of her sons aud daughter
ia those years Of sacrifice and strife
And while it is ignoble to be devoi'
OF manly virtues, it is ennobling TO
Us to cultivate q pride so iustl.
founded aid to manifest our ap
probation Of that high exceilenc
which our people then displayed.
Let us then bouor ourselves b.
keeping fresh in memory the fam
Of our heroes.

The report of the interview of
Messrs. Grady and Rose with Post
master General Bissell has caused
some very plain comments by the
North Carolina press. We remarked
yesterday that the President should
be treated with the utmost respect
in the matter. We are glad to find
q somewhat fuller account of the
subject in the Atlanta Constitution
from which it appears that the
President does not propose to sus-
tain his old law partner Bissell in
this particular matter. We are very
glad to have this information Else

He arrived in this country last Jan

receipts of which were more than
S180,0O0 He says that the net re-

The Euangelical, a paper pub
lished at Harrisburg, Pa /, and the
organ of one Of the factions IN the
Evangelical church, published in
its last issue tho decision Of Judge
Endlich, in which a sweeping VIC
tory is gained by tho oppcn nts
Of Bishops Bowman and Eshcr.
The opinion decides that the latter
were disqualified from presiding
at all Of the Annual Conference
held after their suspensions, and
that the proceedings Of the Board
Of Publication III 1890 were rem
dorcd invalid because Of their par.
ticipancy therein. This is very
encouraging news for the faction IN

ARIZONA KICKER.

Had to Come DOWN. hen We
find q man within 80 miles of this
town who is not a subscriber to the
Kicker VIC feel that there is some j..
thing wrong somewhere, and we
proceed TO interview him. When q
subscriber lets go OF the paper with.
out what we consider reasonable
cxcusc--such as death or removal
TO Alaska--we interview him some
more. Last week the copy sent to
Colonel Jim Kelso, whose postofIice
is at Bitter Creek, was returned to
us marked, "Refused, and be durn-
ed to you J" We tclephoncd over
for the colonel to come in, and he
INFORMED us to go To-. We then
wrote him for an explanation, and
he returned our letter unopened.
Saturday morning we strapped three
days ratlons and 250 cartridges to
our saddle, mounted our regular
canyassing mule aud set Off to find
out what was tho matter with Col.
Kelse. The Colonel is no spring
chicken. lie knew what wonld
follow his action and was expecting
us. lie had laid in 200 cartridges,
a weeks provisions and barrel Of
water, and was barrlcaded in his
adobe. We sheltered our mule in u
ravlne and opened fire. We bonn
barded the Colonel from every
point OF the compass up to 8 o'clock
IN the evening aud then went into
camp. .We'were after him again at
daylight, and kept it up till noon.
Then the wind came around right,
and we prepared to set fire TO h,y
stack on the north side of the
house and burn him out. The
Colonel called our hand and sar-
rendered. He had refused our pa-
per, he explained. because we de-
voted so much space to politics aud
SO little to accounts of murders and
executions. 1t didn't take us FIVE
minutes to demolIsh his arguments
and make him come down with
three years subscription in advance,
and he tookit as a great favor that
we allowed him to accompany us part
of the way home. We have several
other cases on our books aud shall
attend to them in regular order as
soon az possible.
