YESTERDAYS evening papers printed
a five column interview with Police Com
missioner Roosevelt, in which hi con-
clnsively proved that he was the only
honest, capable, moral, wise and con-
sistent man in New York. He showed
conclusively hat all newspapers which
disagreed with him were venal, and ali
men who did not approve his methods
were either weak sentimentalists or allies
of crime.
1t is fortunate Providence makes only
one TEDDY at a time, for there would not
be room in the world for two of his kind.
THE East Jersey Water Company is
duly proud of the fact that on Sunday,
when the consumption of water is very
low. it can give us nearly one-half Of
what it guaranteed when 1t contracted
to furnish a temporary supply.
1T is fortunate the State House is

WILL FUSION CONTINUE?

Democrats will do well not to attach
too much Importance to the disagree
ments between individual Republicans
and Populists, or between representa-
tives of the two parties.
There is no kind of question about
there being two, if not three, distinct
factions in the Republican party, and
that the bitterness is as great as in
the old Mott and Eaves wrangles
Neither is there room to doubt that
there is an irreconcilable difference
in principle between the Populists
and Republicans upon pubic ques-
which would make
Fusion impossible to men who have
convictions and the courage of convic-
tions. There is no more possibility
of the Populists and Republicans act
ing in concert in 1896 than of oil and
water mixing, unless there is total
abandonment of professed principle.
If they had not fused in 1894, we
would say that fusion was impossible
The conditions make it more difficult
now than then, and the politicians will
even more now than then have to show
that they have thrown principle to the
dogs, But because of these things,
he is a foolish man who jumps to the
conclusion that there will be no fusion.
The probabilities are decidedly that
love of office will triumph over princi-
pie, and that the gold-bug Republicans
and the free silver. Populists will
again go hand in hand, working in har-
mony toward a national Republican
victory, with a few offices by way of
'srelief'' to the Populists leaders.
Where do the people come in?

THE CONDITION OF TIE PENITEN-
TIARY.

Much space is given to-day 10 a
statement Of the operations OF the
penitentiary for the year 1895 This
shows that if the cotton and corn on
hand were sold, the penitentiary was
self-supporting during the past year.
Thirty thousand dollars were drawn
from the State Treasury, and now the
authorities have abundant capital for
this years operations. With good sea
sons this year, they Will be able TO
make enough money, when added to
the $4,000 appropriation now in the
Treasury, to pay for the Caledonia
farm. This ought to be done. The Call
edonia is the best Of the farms leased,
and the option price for the purchase
is much lower per acre than on either
Of the other two farms.
There has been no better manage
Inent Of any State interest that has
characterized the work Of the superin-
tendent and the board Of directors of
the penitentiary They have done
well and they deserve the thanks of
the people for whom they are trustees.

National Republican" writing TO
the Winston Republican from raleigh
saws that the suggestion made by SEN
ator Butler that all the Fusionlsts vote
for an electoral ticket that is to vote
for none l,ut an ayowed silver man,
thus throwing away the vote OF the
State. will not for one moment be CON
sidered by the Republican State con
vention. He says;
The suggestion is an insult to the
intelligence of Republicans notNilh-
standing the disgust that IS lel6 oS
some who want to outline the poiIcN
of both parties.
The populist party have no pros

of the electoral ticket OF North caro-
lima NAV bear down the scales on the
Democratic side. Viewing the matter
in this light, and in consideration OF
the fact that the Republicans have
granted to the Populists almost every
favor that has been asked, this writer
respectfulIv submits that it would he
= grateful act on the part OF the fopu-
list marty TO say to the Republicans
that they will surrender the field to
them ON National issues. TO do so
would endear them to the Republicans
and place them in an advantageous
position SO far as State politics are
concerned.
The writer, who is evidently promI-
nent Republican,, believes in Fusion
and is willing to accept mixed eiec-
toral ticket. but grows violent IN ms
criticism of the recent Lindsay and
Wood letters. Referring to. Wood $
attack upon Republican "hoggIsh
ness" the writer says:
.'ReDublicans Will not tolerate such
treatment as is suggested by the above
named writer's, and they had as well
understand that at once. We propose
to be fair, just and honorable, but we
are not begging. We ask for 10 more
than we would grant under similar cir
cumstances, and will submit TO no
less"
This will no doubt strike the fopu-
lists as cheeky, particularly when they
say they were organized solely for the
purpose of rectifying the national
financial policy When first organized
the Populists declared that North
Carolina had the best State govern
ment in the country and that their
grievance was wholly against the
Federal financial administration. they
say they fused with the Republicans
last year TO get fair election laws
Now they are coolly asked as "a CRATE
ful act on the part Of the Popalists to
say to the Republicans that they will
surrender the field to them on National
issues

LlNDsEYs QulxoTIC PLAN.
Who Will Act the Part of Sancho Panza
in the New Fusion Scheme?

Editor of the Reidsville Review
Mr.. W. II. Lindsay, a member OF the
National Peoples Party Executive
committee. wrote letter to the News
and Observer in which he urges CO.
operation between the Populists and
the Democrats to bring about certain
measures, mainly the free coinage OF
silver. Mr. Lindsay has evidently EN-
barked on a QuiNotic expedition and
all he lacks is a Sancho PanZa for n
squire. Who will act as squire for
that pious knight Of Thanksgiving
day? He will hardly be able to find
a Sancho Panza- in the Populist party,
consequently he will have to try the
Democrats. 1T was customary in the
DAVIS Of chiyalry for a Knight to make
his squire governor over conquered
territory. Mr.. Lindsay says that the
offices are 20 be divided betv cen the
Popuiists and the Democrats. If the
Democrats get the United States SENT
tor the Populists to have the Governor,
1t would be more in accord with the
usages Of chivalry for the Knight HIM
self to he the national ruler, and make
his squire governor. North Carolina
would be a nice little territory FOR a
squire to rule over. ! do not car" TO
knock down Mr.. Iindsay's soap buh-
bles. but he and his squire could not
conquer Il single township IN his own
county If Mr.. Lindsay wants to De
the Don QuiNote of the PopuIist party
to fight wind mills he will have 10 so
alone and look elsewhere than the
Populist party for his squire.

THE ONLY NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

1t is a touching. but perfectly natural
and logical reflection that the appropri-
ate observance of our national memorial
day is destined to become more and more
general and genuine as the old soldiers
themselves pass away.
For the first two years following the
war it was thought by some that the
Nations great funeral day would. in
time, degenerate TO a holiday set apart
for teasting and revelry rather than for
sorrow and prayer. But TO the credit
Of the eountry's good sense and patri-
otism the tendency has long since been
just the other way.
Each recurring season finds a greater
and still greater accumulation OF fresh
mounds in our cemeteries calling for
the decorative touches OF tender and
loving hands. and as husband. faith
er. friend and brother. gently drop out
OF the thin and struggling columns OF
earthly comrades to answer the mus
ter roll of the assembling throng above,
there is left behind an increasing and
ever widening circle Of sincere mourners
to testify their fearful homage to the
sacred and heroic memory OF the ma
oation's noble dead.
One Of the best manifestations OF the
spirit of cur present decoration day cele-
bration is found in the custom fast be-
coming prevalent throughout the land OF
holding commemorative religious services
in the churches on the Sunday preceding
May Soth.
At first these religious services in the
North were tinged with more or less
sectionalism, which, while natural and
not unreasonable. detracted in con-
siderable degree from the fullness OF
their spirit of true worship. But Of late
there has been experienced a patriotism
that gathers the entire nation into IT'S
thought and feeling and purpose. and
which increasingly recognizes God in ma
honaI affairs. The Stars and Stripes
are no longer the mere rallying flag OF
the separated North, they are the one
flag Of the one North and South, the
one East and West, the one united and
indissoluble American nation.
As never before, the Stars and Stripes
have place in many houses Of worship,
a part Of their furnishing, even as are
Bibles and pulpit desks. And, further,
clergymen are coming to feel that their
years work is hardly complete except
on Decoration day Sabbath they recog-
nize the terrible crisis and the gladsome
results Of a generation ago.
Most Of all, the feeling now is that
God must have real and unbroken place
in all national affairs. It will not be
safe TO in anywise ignore Him, II the
American republic is to increase in
strength and beauty and honor. or to
retain what of excellence now belongs
10 it. Therefore, let Decoration day
sermons and services continue. Let the
old soldier have increased warmth OF
welcome: let the people OF the entire
land find at the altar Of public worship
the place Of united hymns of praise, ana
also the place where former animosities
are forgotten and where is sworn al
legiance to the one flag Of a one nation.
