Last night he shot a dog that was tied
up in the second ward and the owner
of the dog had him arrested and taken
before justice and his trial will occur

the dog and crowd of neighbors made
an unsuccessful attempt to mob Franco
for shooting the dog, but the officer
held the crowd at bay and afterwards
quieted them down. The charge
against Franco in the jus: ices court is
for rudy displaying a pistol.

MOMSEN & THORNE.

If it had not been for a presentiment
Mozart would probably never have
composed his immortal Requiem. -
One day, while he was sitting alone,
lost in a melancholy reverie,a stranger
entered the room, and, laying q hand
some sum of money on the table, re-
quested him to compose a requiem"
in memory of q dear friend who had
just died. Mozart agreed to do so, and
he began work at once. Night and day
he labored with extraordinary zeal,
until finally his strength gave way and
he became i'll. When his wife tried to
cheer him he said brusquely: It's no
use l composed that Requiem for my
self and it will be played at my funer.
al" Nothing could rid his mind of this
idea. He was even convinced that the
stranger was q visitor from the other
world, who had come to warn him OF
his approaching end. So he worke d at
the requiem" until it was fini shed but
when the stranger came for 1T Mozart
was dead.

III. Gold Brick rh.. was Sprung onUa

Joe Oil, the Washington cOrrts-
pondent of the Atlanta Constitution
wires Cleveland has unloaded a
regulation gold brick upon one of
the faithful In North Carolina The
gentleman who has been buncoed is
VI. W. CLARK, whose name was sent
to the senate today for the vacant
district judgeship. Clark was one
of the Palmer and Buckner electors
in the old north state and his nomi-
nation is the pay he gets for valiant
services rendered-see election re-
turns. So far as being OF any prac-
teal value this nomination Is not
worth the paper it Is written on.
Cleveland knows there is no chance
of the nomination being confirmed.
Indeed be went so far as to say to
friends of Congressman Woodard
that If there were any chance of con-
firmation he would send in Wood
ards name. But, perhaps, Clark is
satisfied with the empty honor. The
cause he represented as Cleve and
worshipper got much less

SoNB idea of the horrors of Span
ish torture NAV be gained from this
description Of the manner in which
DR.. Ruis, an American citizen ar
rested on suspicion, was foully muir
dered:
"The torture known as componte
in Cuba, and by means of which the
American citizen, DR.. Ricardo Ruiz,
was assassinated, is the most barba-
rous of all the cruel punishments
invented by the Spaniards. a pris-
oner is beaten, sometimes with cane
and sometimes with a large cylin-
drical piece of iron, until he faints
from pain or loss of blood. His
wounds are then cared for, and when
he 10 better the awful treatment is
repeated. Care is taken by the
savage executloners that the victim
shall not die at the first componte.
The design Is to kill him by degrees,
and when the climax of cruelty is
reached, then a powerful and deci-
siVs blow on the head puts an end to
the poor victims sufferings."

Oar laws permit the greatest pos
gible personal liberty consistent with
the general Welfare, bat they do not
tolerate anarchy
They permit the widest expression
Of individual opinion, bat they do
not sanction Misrepresentation OF

TH1 NEWS Saturday contained a
full account OF the misrepresenta-
tions and ISLANDERS uttered against
this city BY Walter R. Henry. He
has earned, and ne must bear, the
contempt Of the people Of Char
lotre.
Before the legislative committee,
and, as far as be was able, before the
whole State ne besmircbes the coed
name, and endeavored TO bring our
city into disrepute. He said tina
our city government was the"meanesE
and most interruptions government
in the uniTerse-the most tyranical
and oppressive" And then
issues an address beg
ging for the passage of his bill in
which be says: Il would oppose any
measure that would retard the pros
perity Of Charlotte as quick as any
man in her limits, ETC." If be ig in
earnest he will crafty large ma
iority Of our citizens, and advance
the prosperity of our city, BY taking
his bill aud himself 10 the wiIds Of

There has always existed harmony
and good feeling between people Of
all political opinions in our city.
By usited and harmonious efforts Of
our citizens this has become the
leading city OF the State, one that
We are all proud Of, and one that
the people of the State are proud of 4.
Bat here comes an intruder, who,
according to the News and Observer,
SAYS the city is hopelessly Demo
cratic, and the Populists and Re
publicans could never get any part
Of the Offices if the matter were
left to a popular vote Of the
people" That "a the milk in the

that are wanted.
Our people are justly indignant at
ali the sIanders that have been utter
ed against them, and they resent any
slurs cast at the good name of this
city.
They appreciate most heartily the
assistance of the Democrats in the
legislature, and such Populists as
Representative Morton. and such Re-
publicans as DR.. Freeman. They
are honest and patriotic enough to
stand by the principle Of local self
government, and are not allured By
spoils to abandon principle.

ship, made vacant by the death of

said that ex-senator Ransom, now
Minister to Mexico, would be glad
of the appointment The informa-
ton comes from a reliable source
that the ambition of none of these
gentlemen will be gratifed, as the

TIE war in Cuba, which if con-

TIE war in Cuba, which If con-
tinued much longer means ruin 70
Cuba, and bankruptcy to Spain, may
come to an end in a way little eI-
pected. The reforms offered By
Spain have made no impression what
ever on the Insurgents, who declare
that they will accept nothing less
than independence
There are two ways Of attaining
independence, by the sword and by
purchase. And after the long
months of war, the Cubans to save
the island may resort to the latter
method
The New York World publishes a
letter from Salvador Cisneros, pres-
ident of the Cuban Republic, in
which ne says:
"On the basis Of Independence it
will be possible to enter into negoti-
atoms. These should provide for
the evacuation Of the island By the
Spanish and fcg the future relations
between Spain and the Cuban rePub-
lie.
ave believe there should also be
included an indemnity TO be paid
Spain, provided the amount ls re4-
sonable. This would Be honorable,
practicable, and good for all.
"Bst if Gone it should be done IS
soon an possible. The indemnity
should prevent further loss Of blood
and Of money, and it would save
the economic resources Of the peo-
pie, who have sworn to the complete
destruction Of the Island before they
will submit anew to the dominion OF
Spain
Each day that passes causes
fresh hatred and devastation. Soon
the producing capacity OF the coun-
try will be destroyed.
"Cuba can pay less as time pas
e., not only because each moment
she earns less, but it will be increas-
ingly difficult for her TO fulfill the
stipulation and agreements she is
How able to make.
"The indemnity to Spain should
take the form Of the acknowledge
ment and guarantee By Cuba Of a
part Of the debt already contracted
r BY Spain, or the payment Of a sum
in bonds or in money to Spain.
ave would deem it advisable
for the United States to intervene as
the friend Of both sides, providing
always that the Island of Cuba shall
net sacrifice her own sovereignty
Unless the war is soon brought to
a close the most fertile island that
lies in the sea, "The Pearl of the
Antilles" will be barren and in
ashes The friends of Cuba long
for any method of ending the war
that will guarantees the Cubans their
independence

DIR. CRAVEN AND cLAN1oS,s BILL

DR.. Craven, it will be remember
ed, introduced Clanton's bill to take
the working of the reads out of the
hands Of the people and turn it over
to the politicians In card to the
Observer DR.. Craven has the follow
ing to say:
81 see in your columns you are
giving me credit concerning a bill to
change -he management of the chain
gang, to which am not entitled. |
have in no wise championed the bill,
simply introduced it at the request
of Mr Clanton. This bill is purely
a Republican measure, intended, as
they claim, to remedy the evil prac-
tice Of Democratic county commits
sioners discriminating against Popu-
list and Republican citizens in the
purchase of supplies, employment,
etc, for the chain gang. If it were
not for the strike at our principle of
local self government, and the fact
that this is purely a Republican
measure, l could cheerfully support
this bill. W. P. CRAVEN"
Raleigh, Feb. IS.
Our information in regard to this
L after is that DIR. Craven not ONLY
introduced this bill, but that he was
present and voted for it when ii
passed the House. Our informant
may have been in error. We would
not do DR.. Craven an injustice and
will gladly make correction if We
are in error.
If We are correct DIR. Craven has
supported this bill notwithstanding
"the strike at our principle of local
self government and the fact that
this ID purely a Republican meas
ure."
This matter calls for some expla.
nation On DR.. Craven's part.
The passage of Senator Grant:
substitute to lease the North Caro-,
lima railroad to the Southern on the
present terms for period of thirty:
three years, seems to end the fight
oD the lease. This has been one OF
the bitterest and most sensational
contests ever seen in the Legislature
1t has been bitterly fought, and
Senator Grants bill seems to be the
best solution of the difficulty yet
presented. This allows the present
lease to stand for a reasonable term
of years at the present rate.
The principal objection to the
lease was the manner in which it
was made and the length of the
term, ninetY-nine years.

from Washington:
'There is much talk here TODAY
of the probability of Hon. Matt

minister TO Mexico, being nominated
for the vacant judgeship in the dis
trict of North Carolina. Ransom is
believed 10 be the only North Caro-
Ina Democrat wnom Cleveland

by the Senate. 1t is not likely that
the Republicans would allow any
