THE wrong PARTY.

Some of the Washington papers are
hot under the collar because the Sec
retary of the Treasury has removed an
eighty year old clerk who IS unable
TO render service to the department.
She was at the front during the entire
war with New Hampshire regiment,
aud needed neither shot or shell, IN
belnino the wounded. Her State voted
her a sum of money and she generous
~ gave it to found q home for dis
abled veterans. Thirty years ago SHE
was given Il clerkship in the Treasury
Department, and has not lost u day
from illness until an accident befell
her few months ago She is confined
to her bed and will never again be tit
for clerical duties.
This is case calling, not for indie-
nation, but pity and charity Tor
months, as long as the law would per-
nit. Mr. Carlisle continued this noble
woman on the payroll, but there Is
no authority vested in him TO pension
deserving men and women II any
women deserve pensions, this unself-
ish woman is most deserving. Her ease
ought to be called to the attention of
Congress, and some provision ought to
made for her support out of the pen
sion appropriation 1t would be mani
testify more in keeping with the
principles upon which the pen
sion system rests to put this woman
on the rolls than to vote big pensions
to the widows Of great soldiers who do
not need bounty from the govern
ment. I'm their case it is a bounty,
pure and simple. In the case Of Mrs
Dame, it would be a just recognition
of her services as a nurse during the
war. and a proper sort Of pension.
it is Congress that ought 10 be ap-
pealed to in this case, and not Mr.
Carlisle. And if Congress does not
come to the rescue, the Congressman
and not am executive officer ought
to be blamed.

TRIED 70 AssAsslNArE GRIEF
A Midnight Sensation at the Hotel in
Clinton.

Clinton
A special to the Wilmington Mes
senQer under date of February il, says:
Quite a sensation was created at the
Murphy House this morning at 3
o'clock by what appears to have been
a bold attempt to murder or kidnap
Sam W.. Grier, the Roseboro express
agent, who made the confession I'M
plicating DR.. T. j Cooper and Reddin
Butler in the robbery 1T Roseboro on
the goth OF December, Grier has been
under bond i'm the sum Of $3.50 for his
appearance at this term Of court, but
owing to fears for his personal safety,
ne has been under constant guard.
Since court convened, he has been in
charge OF Deputy Sheriff g. w. Jones,
who has occupied a room with Grier
al the Murphy House, as it was feared
Vto allow him 10 remain at the resi-
dence Of his father-in-law
The room which the deputy sheriff
and Grier have been occupying this
week is located III the front OF the
hotel, on the second story, with VIM
dows opening on to the roof of the
piazza. The roof is covered with tin,
and. with curtains up, any one stand
Grier and Deputy Jones as they lie on
the bed They slept together, with the
deputy occupying the front of the bed.
This morning shortly before O'Clock
they were awakened by noise which
seemed 10 come from door in the rear
part Of the hotel Some minutes az
forwards, while both men were still
awake, they heard some one stepping
cautiously on the tin roof OF piazza,
seemingly in their stocking feet. Grier
thinking the deputy had dropped of
to sleep, touched him with his foot and
said: "Hear that" What is it2"
Deputy Jones had also heard the noise,
and could distinctly hear the footballs
on the roof outside as the window was
approached. The curtain immediate
ly at the head Of the bed shut IL out
from view, but one step to the next
window would have given an outsider
q plain view Of both men as they were
living in bed About the time Deputy
Jones was touched by Grier he dis
tinctly heard some one trying TO raise
the window at the head of the bed
and he rolled out and snatehed his
pistol from the pocket Of his pants,
which were on q chair. As he turned
out Of bed person outside must have
got glimpse Of him, as the intruder
ran and was heard climbing down at
the end Of the piazza. Investigation
showed that a ladder had been sta
toned in the yard and put up to the
piazza. As soon as the thief got down
he or his accomplice took the ladder
away or else they returned later and
took it away There were footprints
| around the place where the bottom of

FRATERNTTIES At THE UNIVER-
SITY.


We rejoice to know that the Trus-
tees OF the University have at last
taken definite and final action in re-
gard To secret fraternities. Much may
be said as TO the merits and demerits
OF these organizations. They exist
in most of the colleges of the land.
Many colleges in North Carolina have
excluded them from their walls, be-
lieying them TO be foreign to the spirit
of the people Of North Caraolina, The
University, following the tolerant
spirit that has marked it's manage
ment of young men, gave fraternities
permission TO exist about twelve years
ago. in the hope that they would be so
managed as TO cultivate and intensity
youthful friendship without intcrfer
ing witch the life Of the institution, or
becoming in any way obnoxious to
students not included in their mem
bership. Our observation has been
that fratenities tend to breed "A spirit
az evclusiyeness which can easily de
generate into snobbery, and certainly
that they do not train their members
for contact with and influence over ali
classes and conditions Of men in life.
North Carolina soil will not grow
such institutions. They may do well
enough in large cities where much
wealth seems TO justify eScIusiyeness,
but here they are out of place North
Carolnians are fond OF personal lib
erty and individual manhood, and
they do not relish organizations or as
sociations intended to artifcially ele
waite one class Of people above another.
The equality of all men or personal
superiority based entirely upon merit
may be called North Cardinals faith
and practice Our educational insti-
tutions should inculcate these ideas
and train our youth for their fulfil
ment
We are glad that the Trustees have
restricted the membership in the
fraternities.
TT the restrictions do not abolish the
evils connected with fraternties, then
let the fraternities be abolished.
