MIR. FRENCH,s FATAL STAB.

Many serious accusations, supported
by proof, have been made of the late
Legislature. It's foul deeds make stencil
to high heaven. Patriotic and honest
people think of lis proceedings with
feeling of State disgrace and a prayer
that North Carolina may never be so
scourged again.
1t remained, however, for the leader
of the Fusionists in the House to show
the mean spirit and unworthiness of the
Legislature of which he had the dishonor
to be member. Mr.. Gizzard French, Of
New Hanover, was interviewed Wednes-
day by NEWS AND OBSERVER reporter,
and we quote from the interview pub
lished yesterday:
Reference being made to the Atlanta
Exposition, Mr.. French said that proba
bly, the appropriation fer North Caro-
lina's representation would have been
carried through had it not been for one
incident. An Atlanta paper accidentally
fell into the hands of the Fusionlsts. 1t
contained resolutions of indignation by
the North Carolinians living in Georgia
against the Douglass resolutions. Mr..
French said this action in Georgia put
those who happened to see the paper
(which was handed around) in high
dudgeon, and thus the bill missed fire.
Here we have it, North Carolina
kept in the background because few
of its native sons denounced the disgrace
that aliens and traitors had placed upon
the commonwealth of their fathers
Craven spirits, smarting under the dis
grace wrought by their own action, will
ing to deny the State its proper place
among its sisters in order to spite a few
former citizens.
That is the height and depth and
length of Fusion patriotism.
No true son of the State can rest con-
tent till the stain is wiped off by the de-
feat of the gang that brought odium on
the old mothers good name.
Mr.. French has shown that his crowd is
incapable of rising above the pettiest and
narrowest spitefulness, and convicted
them of an exhibition of it that makes
them contemplate in all eyes. Possibly
without intending it, Mr.. French has
given his gang fatal stab.

In the heat of campaigns men are apt
to deal too much in personalities, and
when this occurs there are not wanting
those who bemoan the degeneracy of the
Republic in these latter days. They pre-
dict the downfall Of any government
which is not strong enough to suppress
detraction of its greatest men, But
matters move on, the Republic stands,
and proper estimate is placed upon great
men in spite of SANDER.
When we become pessimistic about the
future of the Republic because of present
evils, 1t is well well to look into the past
ard see if after all the world is not
growing better. The following extract
from the last number of Scribner's Maya
zine will convince the most skeptical that
there is healthier public sentiment
than existed half century ago, and that
even the tongues Of men are less ''un-
ruly" than formerly
Nothing in modern times can equal
the virulence and the apparent exacerba-
ton of the Presidential campaign of
1928, when Andrew Jackson was for
mally entered in the Presidential race
against John Quincy Adams. Personal
abuse was rife. Adams, the impeccable,
the frigidly just, was accused of vari-
ETY. of crimes, one of the least of which
was that he acted as procurer for the
Car of Russia. Clay was branded as an
unprincipled adventurer, a professional
gambler, libertine and an accomplish
of Aaron Burr. Jackson was stigmatized
as murderer, a dueliDg man -slsyer,
cock fighter and turf sportsman.

SHORT CAMPAIGNS.

The Chicago Times Herald is waging
war against the old stage coach custom
of having long presidential campaigns.
In a recent issue it published the views
of the editors of most of the daily papers
in the country, and with the exception
of Murat Halstead, nearly all of them IA
vor short and sharp campaign. The
following gives the opinions of this
paper:
RALEIGH, N. O.--To the Editor of the
Times. Herald: There is division of opin-
ion in North Carolina. The business
men generally prefer a short national
campaign. The special advocates of sill
yer and of gold respectively want long
period in which to wage what they call
"a campaign of education"
We have discarded slow going methods
in other lines; why hold fast to the anti
quated custom of devoting half year to
a red hot political campaign3 The people
want shorter campaigns.
"Not too short and not too long,
Just enough to please the throng."

WILL NOT PRACTICE Law.
Prof. N. Y. GulIey Will Devote Him
self to Teaching Law.
WAKE FOREST, n. c., Oct. 3.

To the Editor of the News and Observer:
The krecent item in your paper an
nouncing that Baylus Cade, Esq, and
would practice law together in Raleigh
was premature No such partnership
has been formed Such thing was sug-
gested about two months since, but there
was nothing more than passing remark
in regard to it.
Our catalogue for the session shows,
up to date, the names OF so students in
the School Of Law. A large portion of
my time is required in the recitation
room every day, to say nothing Of time
necessary for preparation, aud other
duties connected with the college. And
it does not seem likely to change in this
respect in the near future, for already |
have the names Of several young men
who expec, to enter in January; so it is
evident ! will have no time to practice
law in Raleigh if / continue to teach
here. ! am pleased with my work, and
would not leave here for practice that
would pay me much more than my pres
ent salary.
Mr.. Cade is a man of large heart, no.
bic and generous impulses, broad intel
lect, and far more than average attain
ments For him | entertain high re-
gard, and wish him much success in his
new vocation; but for me, my duty is in
the class room with the young men who
are here from all sections of this State,
as we'll as from other States
appreciate your kindness in giving
this matter the publicity you have, and
hope you will accord this correction the
same. Respectfully,

Wrested this country first from the IN
tutored savages and afterwards from the
tyranny of princes. There stands the
stronghold of conservatism, the happy
medium between tyranny and anarchy,
the stout, unyielding spirit of enlight
ened republicanism.
There was no noise Of wrangling over
Sabbath observance at the Atlanta Elk
position because the men of the South do
not seriously disagree upon such issues.
Public sentiment in that part of the
country respects, honors and upholds
the ''day of rest There is no ostenta-
ton of piety, no canting protestation of
superior holiness. The people simply
follow in the footsteps of their fathers
and recognize the Sabbath as a thing of
course They are hustling, earnest,
brave hearted folks in Atlanta They
believe in progress and prosperity. But
they give one day to decent soberness
concede to each one at least the oppor-
tunity of worship-and stand unani-
mously for the day religion and morality
have set apart. Along with energy,
liberality, intelligence, courage, and pa
triotism, they put the American Sabbath
on their programme, and there it stands.

common thing to get up in the
morning and find your cattle
gone, having been taken during

several instances of this kind

them to the first limb, and let
them hang as gentle reminder
