YOU CAN'T PLEASE SOCIALISTS

The PROGRESSIVE FARMER has been
termed a ''socialistic paper" more than
once. Every good man is, to some ex-
tent, a socialist. The SociaIistic Labor
party, which has considerable strength
in the Northeast, has some excellent
doctrine in it's platform, and soma good
men belong to it-educated, brainy
men. But it is for a single standard,
and if it had its best principles enacted
into law, the evils of the single stand,
ard would outweigh all the good it
might do.
Butaside from that those people have
queer ideas. The New York People of
recent date contained the following:
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER should be
read carefully by all who imagine our
POpulist farmers to be after the eman-
cipation of man, and not of the prop
erty holding farmer at the expense of
his farm hands and the wage slave gen.
orally. It is of the opinion that:
"The first business of every young farmer
should be to secure q spot upon whit h he can
stand and proclaim to the world that these acres
more or less broad are his
Seeing that acres more or less broad
are a commodity whose supply is not
without limits, and is UNNECESSARILY
smaller than our population, it follows
that 1.-The business of every young
farmer" according to this Populist
emancipation, is to ''get there" first and
the devil take the others. We knew
this all along; but we are glad to have
the knowledge confirmed.
Now we would like to know why it is
wrong for the young farmer to own
landG Is it wrong for anybody 20 own
land or any other property in large or
small quantities, provided they get it
honestly9 The People will confer a
favor on its readers and this writer by
telling just what it means.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

When goldbug Democrats and silver
bug Democrats fall out, honest men get
their dues.
The most gigantic liars we have run
up against lately are the various com
mercial agencies. They report bust
ness so good that it is causing almost
a''panic."
Editor Joseph P. Caldwell is a bi-
metallist a little bit. He believes in
the free and unlimited coinage of corr
whiskey, and that without interna-
tional agreement.
Now it is the Governor Of Illinois who
has called an extra session of the legis-
lature to undo unwise work done at
the regular session. This is the second
Democratic State to do this inside of
three months. But it isn't needed bad
enough in North Carolina. Seer
The editor of the Charlotte Observer
and other followers of John Sherman
ought to change their course now. In
another column we show conclusively
that Sherman was a silver man until
he sold out. Unless his followers have
sold out, too, they cannot, consistently
follow in his footsteps.
A firm at Louisville, KY, is said to
have made So, 600, 900 out of hurley to-
bacco in the past year. Is it any won
der that farming don't pay7 Here is
Just one firm cut of thousands who has
made money enough in n year to
make half the tobacco farmers in any
State in the Union fairly well off.
Typographical errors r very exas-
perating, but they always turn up
somewhere among the thousands of
little pieces of metal that make up a
newspaper. An exchange recently
printed a personal about a former resi-
dent of the town. Instead of getting
it "he once lived here" it was printed
she once lied here" Thew was omitted.
A strong stock company has taken
charge of the Carolina Waterman at
Salisbury. The first issue of the new
paper appeared last Thursday. 1t is
flled with good reform matter and
newsy. Mr.. J. z. Green is editor. If
the people of Rowan and adjoining
counties will rally to the support of the
paper, it will bea power in that sec
ton.
Speaking of the rumor that the edi-
for of the Charlotte Observer will bolt
the national Democratic ticket if a
silver man is nominated, the Asheville
Citizen remarks: 1--WE shall have ice
in~sheol first" That is probably true,
but they will be cutting large blocks of
ice In hades a good while before the
Observer nan will ever be a Democrat,
so long as he follows the lead of Presi,
dent Cleveland and John Sherman.
Mr.. J.. A. McBryer, Cashier of the
Anderson County Deposit Bank, OF
Lawrenceburg, KY, who is also a
farmer, is said to have made a discov.

1t is rumored that the editor of the
Charlotte Observer is going to get a
divorce from the Democratic party.
Messrs. Mid Leach, E. @. Smith and

One of the questions to be settled by
the people Of the United States is
whether America is capable of man
aging its own affairs, OF whether it is
necessary to turn our Government over
to the money oligarchy of Great Brit

HANGER IS THE CHAMPION
Took All Three Races in the Affair
Club Meet.
The Dupont Cycle Clubs Road Race
Liable to Put an End to That
Kind OF Sport Here.

The work of the Affair Wheclmen on the
Conduit Road yesterday showed pretty
conclusiyely that Edward Hanger is about
the best rider In that organization, taken at
various distances.
The club meet of the Affair boys was q
most creditable affair, and should have
been attended by a larger number OF spec.
tators. 1t would have been, no doubt, had
1t not been for the Georgetown College foot
ball game, which attracted large crowd,
as did also the game between the Eastern
High School and Gallaudet teams.
There were fourteen entries, originally,
for each OF the three events on the card.
They were Walter Birch, Irwin Scharf,
Thomas Hume, Robert Layton, Theodore
Duvai, George weaver, wiiiam Ea,iaru,
Albert Fisher, Charles Weaver, Albert Cox,
Edward Hanger, Samuel Darby. Joseph
Breitmeycr, and Louis Weaver. All of
these, except three, came to the scratch.
The races consisted OF a rive-nlilc handi-
cap, mile open. and quarter-mile da sli and
Hanger won all three or them about as he
pleased. In the five-mile event George
Weaver was second and Louis Weaver
third. In the mile event Charles Weaver
was second, and in the quarter-mic dash
Robert Layton was second.
against Fred Sims and the counter charges
by Sims against Midd as to their doiirgs
last Saturday turn out. the controversy
now up is more than likely To put a damper
on road racing i'll these parts, from which
il will take that class OF sport a long time
TO recover.
Yet the unsavory outcome of this race is
not dissiuilar to the outcome or . hundred
other events of tn. same sort that have oc-
cured in various parts OF the country since
the present bicycle racing season conf
nienccd. At Chicago in a race in which
nearly every prominent rider in that section
started. charges and counter-charges OF the
most disgraceful Kind were made by the
riders, and the affair brought nearly every
body who had anything to do with it into
disrepute with all respectable people. This
is but one instance of many that may he re-
called by those who keep track OF cycling
affairs.
The truth is that in road racing, not
being recognized by any of the organi-
zations that can handle evil doers, the
riders who take part do not regard them
as binding upon honesty. They look upon
them as catchas-catch-can. so-ls-you-
please, Observation-Disclosures affairs,
and they ride in them on the get-there plan,
feeling that some other fellow will if
they don't.
As to what the result OF the deliberations
of the committee OF gentlemen who are /
looking into the Mudd-Sins controversy will |
be cannot yet be sail, but if things turn 1
out as they have been given by those /
who are supposed to know most about the |
pIcinr business OF Saturday II is safe to !
TO propiesy that Sims wont get any more |
ccnsurc than IA host of others who par
ticipa,cd in the race are entitled TO.

New Orleans, oct. ga great deal of
chagrin has been caused in local militia
circles by an ambitious new policeman
named Estofagano, who appeared i'll the
police court yesterday and swore out affi-
davits against the leading officers Of the
State militia for discharging firearms
within the city limits last Sunday.
The occasion of this breach OF the law
was sham battle fought at the lower city
park, in which almost the entire militia OF
the State engaged.
1t was given TO raise funds for the mOnu-
ment now being erected by Gen. Z. Il.
T. Bearrcgard, the leading Confederate
general from this State.
The battle was a big success, but by an
oversight the mayors permission was not
obtained, and Policeman EstQragano there

He was backed up by Judge Aucoin, of
the recorders court. and affidavits We're
