MISPLACED CRITICISM.

There was disposition in some quar-
tiers yesterday to criticize Col. a. B.
Andrews because his road had driven a
hard bargain with the State in the lease
of the North Carolina road This is
misplaced criticism. Col. Andrews holds
a. salaried position in the great Southern
lsystem, and he owes his first duty to
the owners of that read. 1t was to their
Interest to get a long lease at very low
rental rate If Col. Andrews had not
used all his influence, and his well
known powers of persuasion, to help the
company he represents, he would not be
worthy of the responsible position he
holds. The people elected the Gov
ernor to protect their interests
Colonel Andrews succeeded in Sc
curing a contract that is worth many
million dollars to the Southern
Railway, and the NEWS AND OBJ
SERVER, while condemning the Gov
ernor and the Directors for their I'M
wise action, cannot help admiring the
mastery ability that could induce these
trustees of the State to give him every
thing he wanted, and IN the way he
wanted it. twenty-five years from now
the road will be worth one third more
than now, and its value to the Southern
will increase as the years go by. Every
dollar of the increase, which will be made
by the labor and brains of the people, will
flow into the Southern's Golfers, the
State getting a paltry seven per cent. for
ninety-nine years.
Before Senator Vance died, a promi
n mt gentleman said that he and Colonel
Andrews shared the honor Of being the
two biggest men in the State. Fridays
event proved Col Andrews not only to
be bigger than all the State officials, but
to have dominion over the mind of promi
nent citizens suffi3 Gent to bring the Gov
arnor and the others over to his way of
The lease was secured solely through
Col. Andrews influence, convincing the
Governor and the directors that what he
wanted was best for the State. So far
from criticising him, such an achieve
mant challenges an admiration for the
genius ard great ability of the man who
possesses it. II the Southern pays him
a cent less than $4,000 a year for the
balance of his life, 1t will be ungrateful
and show lack Of appreciation for the
best plece of work ever done for that
Or any other system in North Carolina.

THECHURCH DOES NOT ESCAPE.

"When the church fully comprehends
its mission the men at the altar will
crowd the Alliance. The church to day
stands where it has always stood on the
side of human slavery, and not on the
side of liberty. I thank God that even
the pulpit is learning that we must live
now as hereafter. a..-s
l The above extract from the speech of
DR.. Cyrus Thompson, the newly elected
President Of. the State Alliance at Gary
last Thursday, has been called to our at
tention bya prominent minister of the
gospel. We print it by request, not for
the purpose of criticising il, but simply
to show that not even the church of
Christ can escape the denunciation of a
Populist orator when he is bowling be-
fore an audience.
Ifthe church has always been against
liberty, and is against it to day, as Dr.
Thompson pretends to believe, the next
logical step is a crusade on the church.
AS we listen to the cIamor and discord,
in which motive is assailed and reputa-
ton destroyed and see the people move
on as in a daze, while all they have been
taught to hold sacred is ridiculed or de
nounced, we Involuntary ask the quas-
ton:
"Can such things be and overcome US like n
summer cloud,
And not excite our special wonder"

HELPED AN AMBITIOUS YOUTH.
A Virginia Boy Who Appreciates the
Presidents Kindness.
Baltimore Sun.


Baltimore Sun.
A gentleman in Baltimore has received
letter from friend telling how a
young man without political influence
obtained an appointment as a naval cadet
from the President The incident illus
trates the manly way President Cleve
land has Of approaching manliness in
others. 1t also shows that the President,
although always busy with the affairs of
state, can still find time to interest him
self in and sympathize with young men
and help them to realize their ambitions
when it dies within his power The father
of the young man who received the ap
pointment from the President was a
Chief Engineer in the navy, and had an
excellent record. He is now dead. Two
of the fathers brothers were in the Con-
federate service. Here is the young
mans own account ofhoW he got the ap-
pointment:
"After falling to get political inhuence
to help me to secure an appointment as
"a naval cadet, / determined to 90 to the
President myself, and personally lay my
case before him. All my friends, with
.one exception. my. teacher, Mr.. Black
burn, Of Alexandra, smiled at this plan.
sHa gave me letter to Mr. Cleveland.

waiting to see him can only baiimagined
Finally my name vas called, and ]
ENTERED. with ABOUT fifty office seekers.
!. AS s39u as possible | made my way
to Mr.. Cleveland, aud told him my name
and business ] told him that ! had no
political influence, and that | had only
four letters from old friends of my
father, ard one other from a friend Ct
my own. MI Cleveland took the letters,
put his hand on-my shoulder in a fatherly
way, and said: Young man, / am told
that | have no more appointments
for this year, but will do all | can for
you He also said he would see that
my papers were fled if / would leave
Them with him My heart was too full
Of gratitude for words, but / took his
dig hand, and squeezed it with both OF
mine
Six months passed and | received an
alternate's appointment from the Presi-
dent. This did me no good, as my prin
cipal passed the examination and was
enrolled. | again applied to the Presi-
dent, this time by letter, and his secre-
tary replied, saying that Mr.. Cleveland
would do what he could. That was last
fall. In March received my appoint
ment. There never was 50. happy a boy

ment. Sixty eight boys took the exami
nation, and thirty seven or eight passed.

fifteen who passed on the first examina
ton.

ton and helped poor boy. have no
politician to thank, but have written to

to tell him what feed for him. ?"

A CORRECTION.

We published yesterday the solu
tons Of the State Alliance meeting re
Gently held at Cary in which the respon
sibility for the lease of the N. @. Rail
road is thrown largely upon DR.. Charles
D. .McIyer, the States proxy. We are
authorized by the Governor to say that
DR.. McIver is in no way responsible for
this action as he is not Director and
has not yet had an opportunity to attend
a stockholders meeting where there was
a quorum present
We are requested by the President and
Secretary of the Alliance to say that the
following explanation and correction viii
be made in their published proceedings
This resolution, 50 far as it relates tothe
State proxy, Dr. Charles D McIyer, was
drawn and passed under Il misappre
hension. The State proxy, as We have
siuce learned, represents the State in a
Stockholders meeting, but has TO voice
nor authority in a Directors meeting.
The lease (Which was consummated at
Burlington on last Friday was made in
a Directors meeting. DR.. McIyer was
not present at the Directors meeting
and had no authority to attend said
meeting.

cannot trust either the Democratic or

either telling the truth or he is not. We
will know later If he endorses fusion,
he is talking to deceive the people and

secure the respect Of the people who love
