The experience of a newspaper
editor being commented on by the
Springfield, (Mo.) Republican
concludes in the following breezy
manner: There is no use trying
to down a newspaper man. Give
him a pencil, bit Of paper and an
editorial chair and the world be-
longs to him. His paper will
come out some how and some.
where. 1t may look as though
it had been shot out of a catapult
or fired out of a window with a
bootjack attachment, but it goes
out and stays out, and keeps
coming out just the same. Some
subscribers got into their heads
that they can crush a newspaper
by stopping their subscription but
when the country editor refers to
his books and discovers that the
individual subscriber has wood
opposite his name, and then sud-
denly remembers that no wood
has ben hauled in, notwithstand-
ing that the name has stood there
untarnished by credits for the
past five years he gently draws
his pen across it with a smile of
satisfaction, and proceeds to
make up his forms the same as
before. A newspaper has more
lives than the proverbial cat, and
there is no use trying to squelch
it when theirs is q determined man
who has hold Of the throttle. He
simply'puts on little more steam
throws her wide open and jumps
the obstruction without a scratch.

TWO IMPORTANT CONTESTS.

The news from Idaho is that Dubois
may be defeated. He is a strong AMI
able silver leader, and is needed IN the
Senate. No man, Democrat or Populist-
can be so useful to the cause now as Mr..
Dubois.
The North Carolina Legislature, elect
ed as silver body, ought to send none
but strong silver man, one who does not
have to be held and tied, to occupy the
seat of Vance. Unless such man -
elected, those who are responsible for the
failure will be correctly placed in the
ranks of the gold men. No true silver
man will permit such blow to silver as
the election of Pritchard or any Hopper"
or gold-bug.

WHO Is THE FOOL NOW?


During the last campaign Senator
Pritchard spoke one night in Durham.
During his speech he treated silver as he
did elsewhere by ridiculing the free silver
idea, calling it another free hobby of the
Democratic party, and finally declaring
that on that and all other questions he
then stood square with both feet on the
st. Louis Republican platform.
Mr.. Chas. e. Turner, prominent Dur
ham citizen, and a friend of silver, re-
Numbering Pritchards former declara-
ton in favor of free silver arose in the
audience and said: "Will the gentleman
tell US where he stood on the silver ques-
ton three months ago?"
s.I stood then where you stand now"
said Senator Pritchard. 1.-THE difference
is that / was a fool then and you are a
fool now"

January 10, 1897, at his home in his 55th
year in Wendell He was stricken with
a stroke of paralysis in July, 1896, but
recovered from that so he could walk

Der LIST, 1896, he was confined to his bed

his death. In his death Wake county has
lost one of its honorable citizens and the

THE DEVILMENT BEGUN BY THE
LOBBY ALREADY.

The scandal OF the assignment bill
which was ratified last session as an act
Of the General Assembly though it was
ia hled on the second reading in the House
and was never read in the Senate at ALL
rang out over the State. Then among
other crooked occurrences it will be re-
membered that the bill introduced by
Mr. Smith of Gates, to forbid the issue
OF free passes to public officials was sto-
len no less than three times, and this so
skilfully done that the legislative COM
nlittee to investigate the theft, of which
Mr.. Lusk was chairman, was unable to
find legal proof of the identity of the
thief, whatever moral grounds of certain
ty they may have had. 1t was to BE-
hoped that this experience would be prof
tied by. But it is reported, we learn,
that already a lobbyist has been seen
with a bill concerning railroads, Of
course), which he had obtained possession
of and was carrying to be exhibited to
some other person. What has become of
the bill introduced early in the session TO
make such conduct felony? Is Gov.
Russelps warning against the evils and
tricks of the lobby to bear fruit? The
people OF the State are entitled to have
some protection against such rascality.
