If Congress will speedily adjourn all
will be forgiven if not forgotten.
JAMES II. Pot, Of Johnston county,
is the new chairman Of the State Dem
ocratic Executive Committee
TIE country will breathe easier
when this everlasting tariff question IS
settled definitely one way or the
other
w. +. STROUD, Of Chatham, has
been nominated by the Populists for
Congress in this district. His rival
before the convention was L. L. Garrett,
of Vance.
Hon. &. NJ. COOKE, Of Franklin,
was nominated by reclamation by the
Democratic Congressional convention
in Raleigh yesterday, to succeed Hon.
h. H. Bum.
TIE new heading Of The Ne7Os or
srr9e, should be set to muslC.-Durham
GL0be.
We think it could hardly be con-
sidered enough of a poem to Justify
that.
lr is merited compliment TO a
gifted and faithful Democrat to put
Mr.. w. K. Henry, of Henderson, upon
the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee.-Wilmington messenger.
Very true but mere compliments
are not satisfying TO hard party
worker. Empty honor buffers Ii"
bread.
Gov. MATTHEWS, Of Indiana, Is an
official who has the interest Of tie ,,cn-
pie, especially those of his own State,
at heart as few others in high rrsi;lun
have. Here is an illustration. He
has decided to raise the S47 900
needed to pay the troops called out
during the strike with money borrowed
on his individual paper. He fruits
the Legislature to reimburse him, aid
says he takes the risk because the men
did their full duty and need the
money.
THE Nr7os amt ObSf1prr appeared
under its new management Sunday.
|, is published by stock company,
capitalized at $4,000, of which Mr..
Josephus Daniels is at the head. The
editorial staff is composed of Mr..
Daniels, w. +. Christian and Fred l..
Merritt. +. b. Arendell is business
manager and II. b. Hardy agent and
correspondent. A change has been
made in the dress and a new heading
put on, and altogether the paper
presents a neater and more attractive
appearance. But the caption, head
lines and type do not suggest the idea
of metropolitan journal in looks as
much as it might. However, what is
lacking in this respect we are quite
sure will be supplied in the complete
ness of its news service, the brillianCy
of its Editorials and the excellence OF
its local department. The new
management have the best wishes OF
the GOLD LEAF, and it here takes
occasion to express its pleasure at the
return of Mr. Christian to North Caro-
lima journalism.
Gen. GORDON says he was appointed
Lieutenant General and acted so for
months before he was notified, but he
never received his commission. He
says that Brigadier General NJ. w.
Ransom was appointed Major General
Duk HSNCl lSSSiSCu llIS NOillillloSlOii
was the case with many others. The
Messenger mentioned long ago that
Colonel w. H. Cheek, of Henderson,
n. c., was appointed Brigadier General
of Cavalry but did not receive his
commssion.-Wilmington Messenger.
1t should be borne in mind in this
connection that the man who is now
attacking Jarvis is the same person who
lampooned the late Senator Vance
while that distinguished and best
loved son of the State was laying upon
his death bed In both cases his
motive was the same. He assailed
Vance because of his (Nance's) oppo-
stion to Ransom's course in the
Senate, and now he attacks Jarvis
because he dares to aspire to the
position held for twenty-iour years by
the senior Senator. There can be no
doubt that his purpose is to do all in
his power to secure the reelection OF
Senator Ransom, but that the General S
chances are being greatly lessened by
the boomerang methods Of Bohemian
(the nom de plume of the correspond
ent under consideration is patent to
all observers.-Wadesboro MSsssngsr.
"WHAT shall the harvest be?" So
far as the South is concerned, the
harvest will be the largest grain crops
ever produced, ard the promise Of a
great cotton crop.-Baltimore Manu-
