THE Raleigh correspondent Of the
Cloxlo..a DH..x-,.. in n yecept letter

THE Raleigh correspondent Of the
Charlotte Observer, in recent letter
says:
1t is always we'll to tell just what
goes on and what people say concern
ing public measure. Your correspon-
dent finds some earnest Democrats
who oppose the Wilson bill, and who
declare that it hits the South hard in
making coal, iron and lumber free. 1t
is plainly said that it is in the interest
of New England and discriminates
against the South. Such was the
language of an ex-chairman of the
Democratic State executive committee
to-day.
And so it goes. Gen. Hancock did
not miss it far when he declared that
the tariff is largely local question.
But we are little surprised that com
plant should be made at this late day
about discriminating against the South
in favor of New England. We have
been /" hewers of wood and drawers
of water" for them SO long that we
have got used to it and would hardly
know what to do with the thing if the
South should get fair play in matters
of this kind.

AS TO PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

Last week the GOLD LEAF com
mented briefly on the fact that the
Commissioners of Fortyth had ordered
the execution Of DeGraff, the con-
demned murderer, to be public. We
deprecated such action and expressed
the conviction that such spectacles as
public hangings are demoralizing and
disgusting. Many leading papers of
the State take the same view of the
matter. The Raleigh Neaos- Observer
Chronicle says:
The proposition to have public
hanging at Winston is shocking. The
time for that in our cities has passed.
Such display might have been we'll

preparation of dozen places for
private execution would cost.
