SOUTHERN LOYALTY.

Some of the foul-mouthed Republi
can newspapers of the North take
special delight in charging that the
Congress of the United States is con-
trolled by Confederate brigadiers,
who are trying to ruin by legislation
the country which they failed to
ruin by war. OF course, such clap
trap is utterly contemplate and, as
a rule, finds favor only with the
prejudiced and ignorant and those
who find pleasure in classifying and
tanning the flames of sectionalism
for selfish or partisan purposes.
What will these demagogues now
have to say about the action of some
of these Confederate brigadiers in up
holding the President in his efforts
to suppress rioting in Chicago, and
other sections, and in pronouncing
the loyalty of the South to the Union
and her readiness to defend the stars
and stripes against all enemies? OF
&C urse, the vilitiers will find nothing
commendablc in the expressions of
Gordon, Daniel and others and will
be ready to impugn their motives.
From Senator Gordon's speech in
reply to Senator PETER, who defend
ed the Chicago rioters, we make the
following extracts, which breathe a
spirit of loyalty and patriotism as
ardent as could proceed from any
statesman from any section:
"Why, sir, where is this country
today? l stand here in this high
chamber and recall, with some mis-
giving, | confess, the wOeful prophecy
of Lord Macaulay that in some great
public upheaval, like that which con-
fronts US today, this fair republic
would either lose it's civilization
down by the strong arm of power
would lose it's liberties.
Sir, | do not believe that, but |
confess that if such doctrines as We
have heard on this floor this morn
ing become popular, well may we
pause and consider whether Macau-
lays prophecy Is to be fulfilled or
not. Rather would think with the
great Gambetta when be said that
all the liberty-loving people of the
country would unite to save the
country, however much they might
fight parties.
The day is on US right now, and l
stand here, not as a Southern man,
but az an American citizen, and |
wish my voice could range through
the hearts of every lawbreaker on
the continent when | say that the
men who wore the gray from 81 to
'65 and confronted the stars and
stripes will be found side by side with
the men who wore the other uniform,
following that flag and upholding
the dignity of the country over
which it floats" Applause

DEMOCRACY.

Senator Jarvis conception of the
purposes of Democracy finds a re-
sponsive sentiment with the masses
in North Carolina. In his speech in
the Senate upon the income tax
feature of the tariff bill, he said:
GAS l understand Democracy it
means sympathy with the struggling
people of this country; as | under
stand Democracy it undertakes to
protect the property of the country;
but at the same time it goes out into
the highways and into the byways,
and puts its great arms around the
laboring people, who create the
wealth OF the country, and under
takes to lift them up into higher and
a better life. | thank God, for one,
that the Democratic party today is
in the hands of those who have the
courage to take some of the burdens
from the people and put them upon
the accumulated wealth of the coun-
try, and instead OF this bill sounding
the death knell of the Democratic
party, believe it is but the first step
onward to a higher prosperity and
more glorious career

CAPITAL LOOKING SOUTH.

Winston and Salem should be on
the alert to present the advantages
of this section to prospecting capita
lists. The peaceful condition of the
South as compared with other Sec
tions of the Union; its undeveloped
resources, rich in quality and abund-
ant in quantity; together with the
efforts TO be promulgated by the
society recently organized in New
York, must tend to draw capital In
this direction and the people of this
immediate section should be prepared
to avail themselves of the advant-
ages that will accrue from this turn.
ing of the tide.
AS evidence of tie attractions of
the South, the Dispatch notes that
while in Richmond, Va, a few DAYS
ago Mr.. Baldwin, third vice-presi
dent of the Southern Railway, said
there was no doubt that capitalists
were looking to the South, and that
this section was on the eve of great
Industrial activity. The South had
great resources, he said, but was the
section of peace and safety as COM
pared with the West and Northwest.
1t was very plain that the masses in
those sections were lawless, and the
Coxey movement and the present
strikes emphasized the fact that in
vestments in the West are unsafe.
There was different element in the
South, he continued, and capitalists
were compelled to see that the South
is the most inviting field for invest
ment.

tors as the case may be. and the
memb Der of the legislature from that
county is required to vote in accord
ance Herewith.
THAT would be better, it seems to
us, than submitting the question to
the people of North Carolina without
respect to county lines. Counties
have rights, as well as States, and it
would not be in accordance with the
spirit of the constitution to invade
those rights in the way mentioned.
We are not aware that anybody has
proposed to submit the matter to
the decision of the State, but We haye
seen some dissenting opinions and we
judge that such thing has been
suggested somewhere.
Counties are Jealous of their
rights, and the western counties or
eastern counties, do not want to be
forced to vote for man just because
the rest Of the State says SO. The
only legitimate and just plan would
be to allow each county to determine
how its vote shall be cast. Then
there can be no sore heads after the
election is over

IMARIEs FOR SENATOR'S

The idea of securing the verdict of
the people upon the choice of candi-
dates for United States Senators is
growing in popularity. Under pres
ent conditions it is impossible to
elect these officers directly by the
people, and there is difference of
opinion as to the best way to ascer-
tain the will of the people. The VIII
son Advance offers the following
suggestion which, if adopted, would
remove some of the objections offered
in opposition to primaries:
Each county however has the
right TO instruct it's representative,
and in that comes the right of the
people to express their choice for
Senator. The only plan that occurs
to US, now, would be to have ballot
boxes for that purpose on election
day, In accordance with the plan
that is suggested by Senator Jarvis,
and let each Democrat record his
choice. When the canvass of the
county vote is made, then can be

Such scenes as have been recently

pleasing to the horde of anarchists
