The Abused Editor,

The editor that c,n' t stand

he is situated in had better
go out o. business, for he will
revar be Of any account as a
journalist. 1t will not pay
for an editor to be ut all SEN

thus' Because t h e editor
talks to and for the public;
everything he says for this
thing and against that is
said publicly, and as every
question is supposed to have
two sides the editor is dealt
with ,arcordingly. Things
which he may have no inter.
est,in personally, if he pub
fishes one size, he must ex
pect to be handled without
gloves by these who see diff
ferent. With the true editor
this is all right. He expects
it and feels about as lone
some as a last years birds
nest without it. He would
feel about as important as a
linen duster in midwinter, if
,lo abuse ever met him, and
his feelings would not be de-
rpptive. Give him plenty OF
so called abuse and he knows
at once that his work IL ef-
fpclive, and il he is right he
will work all the harder, an|
if wrong he can correct bis
work. Ex..

Fusion Will Not Fuse.

Fusion will not fuse, and
that's what is troubling the
Rep and Pop ringsters. In
Burke Rev. r. l.. Patton,
Populist candidate for Con.
gress in the Eighth district
last year, repudiates the fus-
ion and will support Bower,
whom he opposed two years
ago. He is disgusted with
the betrayalof protessed prin
ciples.
Fusion will not fuse. In
the fusion conventionin Hay
wood county, Mr.. J. P. Her.
rem, Il leading citizen of that
county, withdrew from the
convention, and "said bold.
~ on the Streets" to quote
the Courier that if Popu-
lists didn't put out a candi-
date that he would vote for
Mr.. Cra wford for Congress-"
All the honest Populists in
the Ninth district feel the
same way.
Fusion will not fuse even
in Richmond Pearson's own
county, l.. N. Wells, a lead
ing Republican i'm Buncomoe
county who was elect ted to
the House in 1886 on the
same ticket with Pearson, +.
h as rcpudiated Pearson's

Fusion will not fuse 80 sag
as the negro is concerned
either. j. F. GIBBONS. a col
ored man, writes to the Char
lOtte Observer: ."We can't
vote a fusion ticket. II will
never do. We might az we'll

Fusion won't fuse in Cas-

in that county told

From our Regular Correspondent.

WI AsO6 uAut VUIIcSpOuu6Ut
President Cleveland an(
Secretary Carlisle, both o
whom know how to appre
ciate a humorous situation
must enjoy the wild guesse.
OF the newspaper men who
are trying to build poliI;ica
sensations upon the very
slender foundation of thu
President and Mrs. Cleveland
having invited Secretary and
Mrs. Carlisle to spend a week
at Gray Gables. Surely it is
difficult for a mar possessed
OF ordinary common sense to
discover anything sensation
al in the visit. Mr.. C,eve-
land probably thought that
Secretary Carlisle needed a
weeks rest after the harrass-
ing work he has done in con.
nection with getting the new
tariff in running order, and
that he and Mrs. Cleveland
would enjoy the company of
Mr.. ana Mrs. Carlisle, hence
b e invitation. That the
two gentlemen will discuss
political matters IS perfectly
natural, as a Congressional
campaign is/on and every.
body else ia discussing the
same thing; but it is arrant
nonsense to say that the Wis
it has been ma,ie because OF
any impending political cris-
is. 1t was also perfectly nat
nral that Senator Faulkner,
chairman of the Democratic
Congressional Campaign
Committee, shonld call upon
Secretary Carlisle before he
left Washington. to give him
all the information il, possess
sion of the committee con
cerning the present status of
the campaign and the out
look for Democratic success.
No man can be more deeply
interested in the campaign|
than is Mr.. Cleveland. Only
a man who draws a salary
for doing SO would pretend

in all this and no one else is
