SILLY AND WEAK.

The Charlotte Observer, after
quoting the statistics showing that
there are now 22,534 miles of rail
road in the hands of receivers, says
that this is one of the best reasons
why the government should not op-
crate the roads, the fact that they
are not paying. Now the truth is
that these roads pay in the hands of
their owners and they pay in the hands
of receivers which is government
management. The receivers of the
Richmond & Danville X. Il. publish
ed their report the other day and

place when road goes into the
hands Of a receiver it does not mean
necessarily that the road is not pay
ing. Nine times out Of ten it means
that a deal Is on hand or that a bic
road is ready to swallow a little one
1t means that these great transporta-
ton lines are combining for profit
and power. The article in the OBJ
server is SO silly and weak that We
doubt if Mr.. Caldwell wrote it.

ELIAS RESIGNATION.

There was a time when Elias les
ignation or withdrawal in the inter
est of party harmony, would have
been credita BILE to him and disastrous
to Senator Vance, but the opportun-
ity was allowed to pass. He was
mislead and ill-advised. The Presi-
dent was advised fully of the charg
es, afterwards preferred against
him by Senator Vance when his nom
ination was before the Senate FL
nance Committee. Against these
charges were marshalled volumes of
personal letters, petitions aud other
forms Of endorsements from almost
every reputable man in North Caro-
lima. The original appointment, un
der the circumstances, was a vindi
cation, and the subsequent MONACO
ton of the Senate was not necessar-
lily a reflection. He was mislead, ,
undertaking Nances' personal strength
in the Senate-due in this instance
to the anti-administration sentiment
on the silver question. When Elias
was appointed Senator Ransom,
knowing the accusations against
him, was confident of speedy con-
tirmation, but when the extra ses-
sion of Congress met Ransom found
himself in hopeless, pitiful admin
IstratIon minority. From that day
Elias was doomed to defeat. Vance
had another string to play on, which
made the defeat of the man $50 in
tensely obnoxious to him. certain
1t was F. NJ. Simmons. \ practi-
cally solid Republican and Populist
vote was ready to brand Simmons
election methods as Chairman of the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, as dlsreputable and infa-
nous. The branding irons" were
put in Vances' hands; they were
kept at white heat-ready for action
waiting eagerly for the thrice re-
peated words, "God save the State"
Weeks and weeks ago Senator Ran
som saw and knew what everybody
else now sees and knows. To save
Simmons Elias must be sacrificed to
Fances' personal resentment. Af-
ter one hours uninterrupted inter
view, the understanding was reached
between the baffied "boss" and the
victorious Vance, that Elias would
resign and that NJ. E. Carter should
succeed him. This got out; was
promptly denied and the deception
was kept up until Elias resignation
made it no longer necessary. The

JkCKSON'S DAY.

Last Monday was the anniversary
of the battle of New Orleans (Jan.
8th, 1850. A custom has grown up
to celebrate tho anniversary Of that
event in history as JacksOn'5 Day.
Latterly this day has been approprl-
ate by Democratic politicians. On
last Monday many Democratic u
banquets were held at various places
in the country in honor Of the day.
But strange to say those who partl-
cipated in these meetings are bitter
enemies to the principles Of Democ-
racy advocated by Jackson. 1t was
during Jackson's administration that
parties were divided on new lines, or
rather upon new names. The strict
constructionists Of the Constitution
became Democrats. TIE high tariff
internal improvement, national bank
men of the time christened them
selves Wings, and the fight that ther
ensued was bitter and protractcd
The fight which Jackson made
against the National banks, tn,
money power and all oppressive mo
nopolies was greater than his iigh
against Gen. Parkenham at New Or
leans. Yet those who gloriied Jack
son On last Monday were Democra
tic (J <,ational bankers and go d
bugs. And these are the men VIII
have perverted the party and destroy
ed Democracy. They hate real dc
mocracy, but use the name to foo
the people. They know that thel
are thousands of men who will yot
any ticket with the Democratic lab,
on it, before they would vote for Il
principles of Jefferson and Jackso
under another name.

X. OF L.MTHE MIDDLE OF TIE ROAD.

General Master Workman Sover-
eign has issued an address to the
Knights of Labor calling upon them
to fight the issue of bonds as recon-
mended by Cleveland. lie says:
THE issuing of bonds is an out
rage upon liberty loving people
and should brand with eternal in
fanny every man connected with the
disreputable transaction"
The Knights of Labor did a wise
thing when they put Sovereign at
the head of the organization. He
has convictions and the courage to
stand for the right. He advises the
Knights to stop striking and to make
themselves felt at the ballot box.
This is sense.

this tube gets intiamed you have a

the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its pormal

Two or three of the leaders of fashion
In Newport are to set a style of wear
Ing the Spanish lace mantilla. A prettier
or more graceful wrap was never in

which set the fashion. Besides it is
quite an art to get mantilla on right.

comb set little to the right at the ton.
On the left side of the top of the head is

the left ear another. The mantilla
should be then opened and the flap part
be allowed to drop loosely toward the
forehead and then brought back to the
center Of the back and fastened with
one pin, no more. The ends are then
crossed in the back, brought forward
over the bust to the waist line. where
the ends are held by another bunch of
roses at the waist.

terms, for these, but the kandsomest are

The black lace is becoming to every one,
and it looks rich over black and delicate

arrived from her own sunny land showed

used, as more would give the lace a stiff
