RALEIGH'S CREDIT GILT EDGE.

City Treasurer Joseph G. Brown in
forms us that the issue Of Raleigh city
bonds, awarded yesterday, sbrough,
$1O9.82T. The previous issue Of bonds
brought $106.95. These two sales tell
the whole story of the credit of ethe
city OF Raleigh In the financial world
Bids were received from as far West
as Chicago. to- the Eastern city of Bos-
ton. aAll the bids were above par. In.
deed the city administration had given
notice that no bid lower than los would
be considered. 4@
The sale Of these bonds shows the
wisdom of keeping the affairs Of the
city Of Raleigh in the hands Of men
like those who are at the helm. II the
attempt made in the Legislature by Re
publican politicians Of Raleigh to turn
the city over to irresponsible hands had
succeeded, the credit of the city would
have been destroyed to such an extent
that financiers would not buy our bonds
at any price. The successful sale OF
these bonds at the price realized ought
to be the best object lesson of the neces
sity of the administration of public at
fairs by safe and prudent men.

"COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM MY
PEOPLE,"

Our Scotland Neck correspondent tells
OF former citizen of that county, now
living in Chicago, who voted for Nc
Kinley last November. Since learning of
the appointment of negroes in his old
county and other parts of the South, he
asks to be forgiven for helping to bring
about this condition.
He is q sensible man.
Just exactly as those Populists who
voted the fusion ticket, are largely re-
sponsible for the bad State and county
government in North Carolina with ne
groes in high places they cannot fill, so
are those former Democrats who voted
for Mckinley largely responsible for the
appointment Of negroes to post-offices III
this and other States. Many POpulists
and gold men brought this grievous
shame to their State and section without
intending it, but both are equally re-
sponsible.
Let them do like the Chicago man-re-
pent and henceforth walk in the straight
and narrow road of Democracy-and
they will be forgiven their unintentional
wrong to the civilization of the South.

PROSPERITY IS so SHAKY IT IS EASY ITO
CLOUD THE HORIZON"

The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter sees chat our much boosted wave
of prosperity has been over advertised,
and in its issue of Oct. 14th, says:
"The point has been reached when
it should be asked, Have not prices
advanced enough for the time being!
The boom has been underway for a
nuntoer of months, and there rs
not a person whose expectations re-
garding the general situation nave
not been greatly exceeded. Can the
movement be carried farther without
the danger line being crossed? The
final consumers have. yet to be heard
from, and it is they who in the long
run make business conditions. Prices
of wool and woolens have been ad-
vanced very fast (wool faster than
woolensl, but goods have not yet got
into last hands. 1t would be wise
to make haste slowly for while,
until the attitude OF the great army
OF consumers has been learned. Those
who have made some tests, state
positively that the people have not
the money to buy goods at the prices
now being charged, and which It will
be necessary to charge for twelve
months to come. A further upward
movement at this time would be like
ly to result in a reaction. The bust
ness situation presents more en-
courag ing outlook than for nearly
twenty years, but it will he very
easy to cloud the horizon il the poll
Of making haste slowly is not
speedily adopted"
This is wise advice. It is true that
the people have not the money to hay
goods at the prices now being charged,
Ind which it will 'be necessary to charge
or twelve months to come" The con-
raction Of the currency and the high
.ariff are doing their perfect work Of
making the people unable to "buy goods
It the prices now being charged" While
he protectionist and gold standard pn-
,ers are crying out that the situation
presents more encouraging outlook
han for twenty years" they betray their
ack of faith by urging their readers
to make haste slowly" Last year
We were told that just as soon as it was
ertain the gold standard and high pro-
ective tariff were made certain for four
ears, immediate and permanent pros
erity was to come to everybody. And
low. after a famine in India and the
discovery of gold in Klondyke have Civ
N us the only prosperity of which we
ave had touch, the trade papers cry
ut TO make haste slowly for it twill

neans that prosperity-such as we have
has not come to stay-and, like eggs in
basket, they will break if jostled.
There is going to be no permanent and

A Really Big Double Circus.

Combined Shows to Raleigh on Tues
day, October 10, will be treat to the
citizens of this entire community the
like they never experienced before. The
Robinson Shows have delighted Ameri-
can amusement lovers for more than
three generations, and the Franklin
Bros. are the founders of the new school
of American showmen. In combining and
organizing their shows for the season Of
1897 they have spared no money to Sc
cure the best for every department. A
glance at the list of celebrities under
their control will convince the most
skeptical that they have been amply re-
warded for their lavish outlay, for they
are the best in the world in their various
lines. The horses, many of them inn
ported, are models of horsefesh, while
their stud of trained horses do every
thing but talk. They will appear at ev-
cry performance with their original
trainer. Twenty lions in one den are to
be seen only with these great shows. A
royal troupe of japanese, imported ex-
pressy for this cast enterprise. and the
only double, troupe ever brought to this
country, IS another feature. They would
be q whole show in the ordinary circus,
but are only a single feature with the
Robinson & Franklin Bros Shows.
Acres of tents are required to accom-
MEDIATE this huge amusement, while one
ticket admits to all the combined shows.
