A MATTER OF REGRET.

Ten Of the eleven electors met in this
city last Tuesday to elect G President.
Five of them were Populists, four
Democrats and one silver p~artyite.
o wing to a conflict between the State
and Federal election Laws, the vote
cannot be cast until the second Monday
in January. They organized, however,
and dined with Mr.. Joseph Daniels,
and no doubt enj7yed themselves.
The absence Of DR.. Tyre York, Of
Wilkes county, one Of the five Demo
cratic electors, was a matter Of com
ment. 1t is thought by some that he
started on mule back, riding his famous
mule, General jackson, end was held
up by the bad weather. II that be true,
his failure to get here on time has
pathetic features. While the other
electors were eating the good things Of
life, Dr.. York probably was existing
somewhere between Trap Hill and
Raleigh very much like the prodiga1
SOD. Even General Jackson" got en-
tiTely left. Had he come in On gched
ule time, he might have been banquet

SOMETHING NEW IN ROADS.

Monmoth township, Warren county,
Illinois, has made a new departure In
road making In the past four years
five miles of macadamized road has
been constructed, and now another
section has been paved with brick as
an experiment. Both plans give en-,
tire satisfaction.
So far as we know, this is the first
brick road making on record. 9 Bat
street paving has been done with bricks,
why not make roads of brick9 In some
sections of the country stone cannot be
secured, and brick will fill a long felt
want.
In Raleigh one street has been paved
from curb to curb with brick a distance
of one square. 1t is smoother and bet
ter than the streets paved with belgian
blocks, and the brick are fully as dura-
BILE, SO far as they have been tested.
To macadamiza roads Or pave them
with brick is an expensive undertak-
ing, but so long as it is done with home
material and home labor, it is a profit
able investment. OF cours 10 county
can build much road in a year, but it
ought to be carried on until every
county he's a number Of thoroughly
good highways. The Safe Of Rhode
Island has spent nine million dollars on
her roads during the past ten years,
and the people there would not be with,
out the excellent roads for twice that
sum-. In fact, the work will be con.
tinued until every prominent highway
in the State ia as hard and smooth as
need be,

into systems it becomes increasingly
important to National prosperity that
every obstructive practice and every
operating abuse should be purged from
railway management.
'In the year ending June 80, 1895,
though the number of railway corpora
lions was 1, 965, and 1 O13 were actual
" operating their roads, Is of these
companies operated about 67b per cent
of the total mileage, carried about 848
per cent of all the trafi;, and received
about 813 per cent Of the total gross
revenue; and these rs companies are
apparently controlled through owner
ship of stock or otherwise by a much
less number. Roughly stated over 500,
coo, coo passengers and nearly zoo, OOO,
600 ions of freight were carried, fol-
which the road received 81, 100, 600, O0O
revenue, and a total net income OF
$500, 900, 900. This was during a period
of great business depression, and, as
statistics show, a year Of decreased
business on railways.
SIT would seem to most minds that
an income over operating cost Of fully
45 per cent of these enormous receipts
would be amply sufficient to meet all
required payments on mortgage in,
~debtedness and afford handsome divi
dends to the owners of the road.
LEGISLATION TO PREVENT wRECKING.
The number of roads in receivers
hands on June 80, 1895, was 1863. a de,
crease Of twenty three compared with
the preceding year. It becomes ap
parent that it is necessary to have ap-
propriate legislation at the hands OF
Congress to prevent the wrecklng OF
railway properties. 1t is also an IN.
answerable argument that, when a
| very large percentage of the railway
corporations demonstrate their inca
/ pacity to manage their W financial
affairs, they advertise their utter in
competency to properly regulate
changes for the use Of these high ways,
which r supposed 50 be operated in
the interest of the public"

Mr.. o ON Y

In a recent article for a New York
paper, Mr.. Moody, the famous evArgel
ist, said:
II would like to have a man Ike
William Jennings Bryan preach every
day in Trinity church. Now, this may
seem strange, but Mr.. Bryan is 8 good
Christian, and I would rather zee him
preach in a church than presiding at
the White House. He would do more
good preaching Christ than being IN
the Presidential chair"
Mr.. Moody may be a friend to Mr.
Bryan, but he has made a serious mis-
take. If anything can make the aver
age New Yorker hate Mr.. Bryan more
than they do now, it is the declaration
that he is a Christian. II gives Inc
New Yorker az ague to thiDk ABOUT
seeing an average good silver man IL
the White House, but it will be iaF
worse if they believe he is a ChTI=-LaD'

NATIONAL GRANGE ON THE
TRANSPORTATION CUES

The National Grange met at Wash
ington, D. c., recently and a special
committe MADE the following report
on the transportation Question:
AT tho c6mmenctm nt Of our con-
eideration Of this subject we realize
that the preparation of q comprehen

arately with the live qlastions which
now confront all who operate our rail
roads, intelligently discuss those ques
tiOns which now confront all who use
and all who operate railroads, with
a view to discovering what are actual
abuses to be remedied and what are in
herent conditions which must be borne
and present measures Of relief for
adoption and recommendation by the
National Grange, would involve
months Of study and examination. The
committee can, therefore, do little more
than discuss the general subject and
call attention to some clearly needed
transportation reforms. A result of

Almost every article grown or produced

The influence of railway charges
upon the profits of producers, shippers,
or dealers has become SO great that a

embarrassing public unrest in regard
TO the amount of charges levied by rail,

arising in all sections of the country
for more efficient public c9ntrol.
Adequate railroad facilities, includ

TIME TO ACT.

There is, or was a great reform
movement in this country. 1t Is, or
was. composed mainly Of men Wno
have wrongs to right, and they started
ont to continue the battle until victory
was assured. .
In that combination there are patrl'
OTIS, brave, persevering men. They are
now called middle of the road Popu'
lists" In the same combination are
fusionists, socialists and traitors. Pos
sibly all except the latter mean well,
but they, together with the traitors
are liable to wreck the splendid organ
ization. It is time to throw the traitors
overheard and leave the fusionists and
socialists on the sands of oblivion,
where they can have a chance to re
pent of their folly. Let the good PEG
ole get together and stay together.
This they should do without regard to
occupation, previous condition Of party
servitude, religious belief or sectional
location. It they will begin this and
keep it up, a great victory will be won.
Never, eve allow bosses to sidetrack
the movement again. There is but one
track. 1t is straight and wide. Nc
