Mr.. SETTLES SARCASM.

"WAsHINGTON, D. O., July 90, "a.
S. F. TeEfGir, Esq Raleigh:
My DEAR SIR:-Your letter of the
oath inst. in reference to Mr.. Rattliffe,
Jr., written by instruction of the Gov
ernor, was received this morning. You
say that the Governor has been notified
that Mr.. Rattliffe is a minor, and unless
this information can be refuted he will
feel compelled to ask for his resigna-
ton.
'It would crafty something more
than idle curiosity On my part to know
who so informed the Governor, and
why this matter was not agitated at ar
earlier date. MI. Rattliffe was com
missioned, 1 believe, in March, 1898,
and but a few months Of the term for
which he was appointed remain I'M
expired. He served the greater por-
ton of his time without complaint or
notice of ineligibility. 1t is a rather
singular coincidence that this matter
should imperatively demand action
Just at the time it is expected my con
test will be called up for decisionaby
the House of Representatives. You
say When he (the Governor) issued
the commission, he told you (me) that
he would appoint any n you CD would
recommend. The Governor did not
tell me that; he said he would appoint
any Democrat whom l would suggest,
and he actually refused to appoint Mr..
H. M. Joyce, of Danbury, N. O., be-
cause he was a Republican, or rather
because he was not a Democrat.
Il regret very much if the Governor
feels any embarrassment on account Of
having made this appointment, and l
assure him through you that when I
recommended Mr.. Rattliffe / did not
know he was a minor, but recon
mended him on the suggestion Of Mr..
P. B. Johnson, a good Democrat. In
asmuch as Mr. Rattliffe's qualifications
to fill the position of a notary public
have been the subject of so much con-
Germ to the people of North Carolina, it
is deeply to be regretted that the point
at issue cannot receive a judicial con-
struction. The opinion of the legal
profession is not all n way; but the
Governor, having satisfied himself, and
experimenting that great injury might
result from Mr.. Rattliffe's serving the
few remaining months of his term, I
shall not interfere with his determine
ton by any suggestion.
Yours very truly,

THE NOTARY INELIGIBLE.
New Issue ia the Williams-Settle Elec,
ton Case--The North Carolina Con-
gressional Case Likely to Turn
on This Point.

OA A4S \ ~
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Will
liams Settle election case from the
Fifth North Carolina district is likely
to come before the House for action
shortly. This was of the first con
tests considered by the Committee on
Elections. and as long ago as January
31st Mr.. Paynter reported for the com
mittee that Mr.. Settle was entitled to
the seat he occupied.
On the 9th inst, however, Messrs.
Woodland, Patterson, Hayes, Denison,
and Jones filed a minority report con-
curing in a resolution declaring Viii
liams entitled to the seat. One of the
points made by Williams in the con-
test was that the notary before whom
Settle took his testimony in Rocking
ham county was under twenty-one
years of age, and that he was not,
therefore, under the law of North Caro-
lima, even a de fGctO officer, and was
not authorized to take dispositions The
majority of the committee referring to
this says:
The committee does not pass upon
this question, because it is not neces-
sary to do so for the purpose of determ-
lining who is entitled to the seat"
Mr. SETTLE NOTIFIED.
In this view of the case the ~subjoined
correspondence is interesting:
RALEIGH, N. c., July "a, 1894
Hon.. Thomas Settle, Washington:
DEAR SIR:-I am instructed by the
Governor to inform you that T. A
Rattliff9, Jr., of Rockingham county,
whom he appointed upon your recon-
mendation a notary public, is under
age, and, therefore, under our law,
section SIS, of the Constitution, is in
eligible to such a position. Unless this
information can be refuted, he will feel
compelled to ask for his resignation.
When he issued the commission he
told you he would appoint any one you
would recommend, thinking, of course,
that you would not. place him in this
position. Hefeels, before taking action
in the matter, you should be informed,
and hence this letter. Please give the
matter your prompt attention, and
oblige, Yours very truly,

The Key to Anarchy.

1t Is the millionaire that carries
the Key of discomfort. 1t is he that
has the common people TO disregard
the rules Of common honesty, and to
evade the laws of the land. With
an unblushing effroutiy, he has lied
and deceived where ever it was for his
interests. With no attempt TO CON
ceal, beyond avoiding the prison
walls, he has year after year COM
mitted perjury to avoid paying tax
es. He has left the poor to do the
work and carry ,he burden Of sup.
porting the government and main
tanning the laws that form the sole
and only protection tasthe wealth al
the rich.
The millionaire Of old was almost
always noted for lis open handed
generosity, for he was sure TO spend
his income among his deserving
neighbors and a dishonorable act
was an imposslbilisy for him. lie
was extremely popular with all who
knew him, far and vide.
The rich man of to-day, has, as a
rule that has few exceptions, got, his
money, not made IL, and lac not only
pinches both rich and poor, but
boasts in public of his ability to beat
down dependent labor to starving
prices, that he may have the more to
spend in great charities that will get
into the newspapers. Need such
men be surprised If some day this
trodden serpent turns and sLings?
The only hope Is that the younger
generation will wake up to the dis
gusting ayerice of their ancestors and
inaugurate q. reform. In the pres
ent outlook thore is good hope of
such a'resuIt. The young are grow
ing up in the idea that 1t Is better
and noblcr TO five right than to be
forgiven for wrong. .--Coast News.

A Flag and Coat Of Arms.

Gov. stone, in a special massage
on Monday recommended that the
Legislature establish a Coat OF Arms
and State Flag His message reads
as follows:
Executive Ofice, Jackson, Miss,
Jan. %, 1894. To the Senate and
House Of Representatives: Gentle
men--l respectfully submit for your
consideration question often asked
Of Mississippians the inability to
answer sometimes c6nfuses their
sense Of patriotic ardor and puts
their State pride before a point of
interrogation That question is.
"What Is he coat Of arms OF Missis-
sippi? What is your state 1ogW
The humiliating answer is, "We
have no coat of arms, we have no
state flag ~
Prior to the year 1861 there seems
TO have been no action taken on those
subjects. In that year convention
OF the people of Mississippi did
adopt u coat-of-urms and anag
for the state. But IN August
1865, another convention was in scs-
sion, and on the 23d of that month,
tile ordinance Of 28Gl, creating n
coat of arms and state flag being
abolished and since that time the
state has had neither.
The coat-of arms adopted was:
"A magnolia tree containing a
nest of eagles, which are being de-
Tended by the mother bird flom the
attack Of serpent, bale of cotton,
plow, steamboat, citizen, soldier,
Notifications and cannons, with mot
to-: Istis Donfcnsoribis."
TAe flag was:
ga white ground, a magnolia in
the center, blue field in the upper
left ha1d corner, the flag surrounded
With red border, and a red fringe
at the extremity"
j present the matter, and recon-
mend that coat-of-arms and state
flag be adopted.

Truthful And Pertinent Observations

A valued contemporary, with the
knowledge whereof 1t speaks, rises
to make the following brief, peril
nent and truthful remark: Most bus
mess men, as soon as they find busi-
ness is dull, refuse 10 look for the
cause, and simply work themselves
into frenzy of depression, cut ex-
penses in every way, talk har'l times,
show hard times in their face, give
hard time appearances to the store,
and get exactly what they expect,
no trade. The progressive mer-
chants aranges his counters more
attractively, piles his goods higher
than usual, decorates windows, burns
more gas, brushes up everything,
puts new coat Of paint on the out =
side, looks animated, diffuses his
enthusiasm into every clerk, adver-
tises more extensively, and gets the
bulk of Tie business. There are
selling seasons. ana there always
will be, but people wear out clothes
and shoes as much in dull times as
in flush, and the dulltime stomach
will have its accustomed food any
way"

that Secretary Carlisle should have
