Cleveland EXeunt.

On next Thursday at noon The people of
the United States will unload Cleveland
and his crew. The whirligig oftime never
played such trick on the people as when
Cleveland was put in the White House
chair. 1t would appear as tho Fate
wished to demonstrate to the world the
mate strength of republican form of gov
ernment
A coarser moral fibre and more beastly
instincts, without an extenuating or re-
deeming quality never were witnessed in
any man whom the people mstakingly
honored so highly, as concentrated in
Cleveland. His traitorous acts should
have been cause for his impeachment on
a dozen occasions in the four years His
hoggish greed in the bond business con-
WINGED the whole country that he was a
bribe-taker, and had Congress done its
duty the crime might have easily been
proven upon him.
He has always been on the side of mon-
archy and against the people. His every
instinct is that of tory His dirty tram
sactions with Queen Lii" in the Hawaii
business disgraced the nation, and his
policy toward Cuba has been infamous.
A climax to the nations disgrace would
be the hanging of Cleveland on the
fourth OF March, as we'll as the historic
parallel of such an infamous career.

Cleveland Our Coutry's Disgrace.

Cleveland has been the crowning dis
grace of this country. Bradley T. John
son, of Va, makes the following charges
against the Cleveland administration.
Olney is no better than Cleveland.
make it known to all men that the
money of Spain permeates the most
secret recesses of the Administrations
that our Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury is the counsel of the Spanish Consul
at New York, and that the counsel of the
Spanish embassy in Washington has Just
been assigned by the Attorney General of
the United States District Attorney in
prosecuting Roloff and Luis indicted in
Baltimore for violation of the neutrality
laws.
"The Spanish Government, therefore,
not only directs the operations of the rev.
euue cutters of the United States to pre-
vent the Cubans from getting ammuni-
ton iiom the United States, but actually
directs the operations of Grand Juries and
courts.
II do not believe that such thing ever
occurred in an English-speaking court
before since such juries were invented
that foreign sovereigns would appear by
counsel in prosecution of a private cit
izen by his own government and assist
that government in executing its own
laws, when at any moment war may
break out between the two countries.

The committee of Ways and
Means are busy at Washington
over q scheme to bamboozle the
farmers by laying heavy duties on
wheat, cattle, sheep, horses and
other farm products that may be
sent into the United States from
Canada and Mexico. The grain
which may be sent from those
countries cannot effect the price in
this country the hundredth part of
a cent. The price of grain is estab-
lished in Liverpool, and the farm
products Canada can export isn't a
drop in the bucket. And also
with live stock. The Armor beef
trust of Chicago sets the price of
cattle, sheep and hogs, and animals
from those countries sell at the
price they name, but the old BAN
boozeling is to be again tried on
the farmers by the tariff architects.
They have been fooled many times
by the same sculduggery. Can
they be again? We reckon a good
many Of them can. They appear
to be built that way for the purpose
of being bamboozled by politicians.

The Bradley-rIartin Ball.

There has been disposition TO con-
denim the Bradley-Martin ball, and on
grounds that are entirely untenable. Mrs.
Bradley-Martin has earned the thanks of
the country i'll place of censure, whether
the ball be considered from moral or
economic point of view. Mrs. Martin has
proven herself a woman of genius. The
and carrying out of her de-
sign demonstrates no ordinary executive
ability, and fine artistic taste. Her con-
ception was one of beauty and refinement,
unmarried by the least trace of barbaric
ostentation. A cultivated art shown in

complete spectacular creation.

Solicitor Leary declares he
will not prosecute "now resl>

counties who may be indicted
for fishing in their own waters
This is indeed charitable in Mr..
Leary, but is he not taking a

hands, Besides, after all, this
does not keep out the obnoxious
"non- resident" The careless
change of words in this law can
only be characterized as one of
the objectionable errors of a sel>

other examples witness the
omission of President Reynolds
signature from the pension bill,

made the deficiency good from

showing great progression, too'
in their enrolment; witness our

per centum advance. Now this

trovertible facts succ1uCtly
stated they are: North Carolina
is in favor of education-educa-
ton from the "three RS
