SIZED UP CORRECTLY.

"By defeating Senator Dubois and
re-electing Senator Pritehard, Mr..
Hanna VIII give the cause OF silver
a thump between the eyes that will
thoroughly settle it."-WashingtOn
Post
A whole column review of the Sena-
torial situation in Idaho and North Caro-
lima could not better sum up the view
that the Republicans take Of the contest
The defeat of Senator Dubois, M &C
knowledged leader OF the silver cause,
would be a great loss to the advocates of
the white metal in the United States
Senate. The election of Pritchard would
enable the Republicans to organize the
Finance committee with John sherman
or Justin Morrill, as chairman, and I'M
der their management they would pigeon
hole a free silver bill beyond the hope
of resurrection.
1t is for these reasons both States are
flooded with money to buy up votes.

TYSON & JONES BUGGY SHOPS.

The Express learns that there is a

gy shops will be moved from Carthage

to be the largest establishment of the
kind in the South, and has done much for

OF these shops to our sister town would
be nothing less than calamity and
could hardly be estimated The ExDrnss

these shops to locate in that city. Tbesa

SUNDAY,
WHY THE BOILERS BoLTED.

The people of the State must have been
greatly amused yesterday at the reasons
given by the boiling Populist legislators.
1t is known by all that the true reason
of their bolt was they had determined
to vote for Pritchard for Senator, and
the reason they assign was but hastily
and crudely, and we must say silly, eX-
cuse for their action. In their statement
they say when we asked to have time
to discuss our side of the question we
were unceremoniously told by the major
ity that we could have but ten minutes
each;" "they cut off the discussion by
unfair flibustering tactics" and I'VE en-
ter our solemn protest against the high
handed method of gag rule perpetrated
upon us by n majority of the Populists
caucus" There is no other reason given
for the bolt. 1t turns out that there
was no limit put to the time any member
could speak, and that the limit applied
only to members of the State executive
committee This cuts the ground entire
ly out from under the feet of the boilers,
and destroys every reason they gave of
the cause Of their Withdrawing from the
caucus.
The public understand, the majority
understand, and the minority is not ig-
norant of the true secret of the bolt. The
boilers knew that the resolution not to
vote for Pritchard would pass the eau
Gus, and in their haste to get out before
it could be voted upon, they rushed out
without any reason worthy of the name,
and after getting out had to invent some
excuse Any reason was better than the
true one. IL the boilers had given the
real cause that induced them to bolt,
they would have passed a resolution
something like this:
"Whereas, we have determined to
vote for a gold-bug for Senator in or
der to give the gold bugs control of
the u. S. Senate, therefore be it
Resolved, That we will get out of
the Populist caucus, and set up little
Republican annex of our own.
Resolved 2. That we repudiate
Senator Buffers statement that no
true Populist can hold an Office I'M
der Mckinley.
Resolved 3. That we will take of
fees and perfer them to principle"
Yesterday afternoon the Populist eau
Gus passed series of resolutions invit-
ing the boiling Populists to return to the
caucus upon the assurance that they
should be given all the time for discussion
they desired. Upon this assurance those
Populists who voted for the reasons as
signed, if there are any, will go back into
the caucus and make their fight there.
Those WIG made the demand for more
time q mere pretext so they could vote
for Pritchard, viii remain out.
The resolutions OF yesterday afternoon
divides the sheep from the goats. 1t 10
the test that will get at the truth.

THE FREE PASS SCANDAL.

We publish elsewhere the bill intro
duced by Senator Clark to forbid the use
of free passes by public officials. 1t is 3
bill that ought to speedily become law.
We have long seen that the railroads
exercised too much influence upon legis-
lators and other public officers through
the free pass system of placing them I'M
der obligations, and we have before de-
manded the enactment of law forbid
ding it.
Many members OF this Legislature have
come to Raleigh on free passes, and gone
to the Treasury and drawn mileage from
the State. No man who accepts free
pass from railroad ought to draw mile
age from the State. Mileage is not intend
ed to increase the pay Of legislator, but
to reimburse him for the expense incurred
in reaching the capital.
Important questions affecting railroads
will come before this Legislature While
we do not say that n member accepting
passes from a railroad will be thereby
influenced in his vote, we do say that no
legislator ought to accept courtesy from
any parties desiring legislation any more
than a juror should accept fayors from
a man whom he is to try. The principle
is the same.
The scandal of railroad lobbying has
grown year by year. If it continues to
grow, this will be no longer a government
of the people by the people and for the
people, but government of railroad
managers for railroad owners. Unwise
and impracticable as we deem it, govern
ment ownership OF railroads would be
far better than the growing ownership
OF government by railroads
Stop the free passes first. Other nee
essary measures OF reform must follow

GOV. ALTGELD ON PARDONS.

In his last message to the Illinois Leg
islature, Governor Altgeld answers the
charge that he has abused pardoning pow
er by showing that in his term the par
dons and combinations have averaged
3 3-5 per cent of the copyicts in prison
per annum while for the twenty years
previous the average number of pardons
and combinations per annum was AZ
per cent. The Governor says:
ain other words, considering the
number OF conyicts in prison, the
number of pardons and combinations
granted for each year on the average
for twenty years prior to the begin
ming OF this administration was %
per cent greater than has been the
number OF pardons and communal
tons granted by this administration.
While this administration has been
much more conservative in this regard
than former administrations, it is
not a matter for which it should re-
ceive either credit or blame, for the
granting of pardons and communal
tons is somewhat judicial in charac-
ter and requires the executive to act
conscientiously on the merits Of each
case"
This would seem to dispose OF the reck-
less defamation OF Governor Alleged
who, no matter what else is said about
him, has made the best Governor Illinois
