Rough on His Clients.

JOHtoUUIU IOSItoo,
A correspondent of the Chatham
Citizen suggested that Judge
Womack had changed his principles
TO accept an attorneyship for the
American Tobacco Company. That's
ridiculous, of course, but We gods
and little fishesl You ought to see
the judges reply: 81 am sorry that
any OF my Chatham friends should
think that a lawyer becomes a rogue
because he is employed to defend one
who is charged with stealing" This
let's the judge out, of course, but it
must be grim humor to his clients,
the Tobacco Company.

KEITH DEFEATED.

1t is an old and trite saying that
''you can't make silk purse out OF !
a sow's ear" Hence, those who ex-
pected the Board Of Aldermen to do |
such a magnanimous act as to elect I
Wiley Keith market clerk we're
grievously disappointed There WAS
| q piere OF pie to be di-hed out and
/ under such a circumstance a hungry
| radical doesn't permit such things as
| generosity and appreciation to cut
| any figure.
| Ordinarily, it would have been ex
| pected that majority of the Board
| would el-ct one OF their own stripe to

| X 18th had served the city SO faith
fully as a fireman, and much of the
time without remuneration. and had
met with the misfortune Oi losing his
good right arm while celebrating the
| victories % our frpmen at the State
Tourn. ment, some thought that the
Board sees cap1lI. of subduing the
usual f-ch pot in -linations AMI per
forming an act OF just recognition by
giving the place to MIR. Keith and
thus enable this faithful servant of
the city to earn livelihood for him
self aud family. But lot SO. The
hankeriDg for pie was too greet
among the Faithful for the Repub
lican Aldermen to get out of the mud
OF politics and do an act of justice
which would have been generally
commended by our citizens.
We understand that during the
consideration of the matter by the
Board one OF the Republican Alder
men gave vent to run of sarcastic
CAB, saying that this was not a
partisan question, but that he had
walked the streets of Winston for
months without job on account OF
his politics, etc. This was Alderman
Hopper. We know nothing of the
accuracy of his assertion, but, if We
are correctly informed, he has Jared
no better at the hands of his OWL
party and it might have been il
order if he had explained why he was
still out of job, with the city ad-
ministration, the State administra-
ton and the National administra
ton, all under the control of the
party to which he belongs. Why ii
it that in the political changes 40 in

The Burden of Pensions.
New York Journal,

New York Journal.
The pension expenditure for the fis-
cal year 1899, thirty-four years after
the close of the war, will reach $780,
900, 900. What does that mean?
1t means the interest at 3 per cent.
on debt of $5, 900, 100000, which
is more than any national debt in
the world except that of France.
1t is more than the combined ex-
penditures for all purposes of all the
States in the Union. That is to say
if the money spent for pensions were
divided among the States, all taxa
ton for State purposes could be dis
pensed with.

ACCORDING to a special from Wash
ington to the Charlotte Observer,
Russell thinks he is bigger man
than the Supreme Court of the
United States and is making the air
blue with threats in reference to his
intentions of bucking against the
decision of the highest court. These
threats include the calling out of the
State Guard to prevent the surrender
of His Majesty's assistant railroad
commissioners, Caldwell and Pear
son, to the Federal authority.
Seriously, it looks as if the Gar has
lost his head and that he ought to be
in the State Hospital instead of the
Governors chair. District Attorney
Holton is quoted as saying, in this
connection, that to him sit looks
like a case of Jail for somebody, il
there 10 any trifiing with the process
of the United States court in this
matter" A very ridiculous phase OF
the subject is the ideG of the great
usurper Russell prating against
usurpation. From all indications
there Is q monkey and parrot time
just ahead.

So, the Republicans will not press
any currency reform measure, but
will be content to rest upon the

ton, making of this a subterfuge like

such farces what think those who
banked upon the Republican party
to carry out it's pledges to improve
the currency situation? The inter

RUSSELL denies the statement sent
out from Washington that he would
declare war against the United
States Supreme Court, call out the
militia, etc. 1t did look as if the
Governor had gone plum mad, but
he engages in so much rantankerous
CAB and does so many unusual
things that it has become a difficult
matter to surprise the people as to
his maneuverings. We are glad,
however, that he will not transform
his war of words and tricks into a
sure enough battle with guns, and
swords, and powder, and dynamite.

If cog doesn't slip, the suspended
Wilson's will be in the saddle again
before many more moons. Will
Russell survive such a wound upon
his imperial pride? Will this prove
the tack that will puncture his in
flated tire and show him that he has
been running on wind? Will it con-
vince hiu that it is contrary to the
spirit of American liberty that one
man power should exist in a State
whose people are imbued with the
spirit of independence and of a DEM
ocratic form of government? Will it
be an eye-oPener that will enable
him, in some degree, to see himself as
others see him and cause him to
mend his ways, or will he cling with
desperate tenacity to his inherent
rule or ruin policy and go on raising
all the hullabaloo possible?

ALGER TALKS ABOUT MILES.
Does Not Believe the General Was
Correctly Quoted,
SAYS MILES is NOT A FOOL.
Knows Better Than to Criticize for Pub
llcatlon--If Miles Admits tho Alleged
Interview He WIN 10 Court AIartialsd
John sherman Not Answered.

WASHINGTON, Aug. co. Secretary
Alger declined TO discuss for publica-
tion the criticisms OF the war depart
ment, but he said that the possibilities
and almost certainties OF terrible raw
ages from the fevers had been fully
discussed by the war officials and by
the press before the army went to Gu
ba, and the government had held back
against sending great army TO Cuba
when the same agitators who now
complain that men have died were de-
handing that an army Of 100000 be
sent to Cuba, He was thankful that
80 few men had died from disease In
Cuba and that 30 many of the sick who
had returned were suffering from no
worse complications than malarial
fever.
When asked about the interviews OF
General Miles criticising the war de-
partment, Secretary Alger said;
~ do not believe that General Miles
ever gave such an interview, lie is n
trained soldier and discreet man, and
would not make such statements as at-
tributed TO him without seriously
weighing his words and recognizing
the consequences. General Miles is not
q fool, and i do not believe he ever said
what has been reported
"But suppose he comes home and ad-
mits that the interview is correctP"
~ cannot discuss such supposition
Mt this time. The army regulations
apply to such cases." said the secre-
tary in way that left no doubt of his
meaning.
Should General Miles admit that the
published interview with him is COR
rect he would be court-martaled at
once. There would be no other course
left to the secretary of war,
The secretary's attention was called
to the interviews Of cX-Secretary Sher-
man, and he read them over with n
sad shake of the head,
II cannot discuss the actions or crit
icisms of Mr.. Sherman" said he. "lle
is an old man, and he has paid little
attention to the conduct of the war. l
cannot discuss his criticisms even
though they are personal to myself. "
The secretary showed his considera-
ton for the age of the venerable eX-
secretary Of state, who has become
such sharp critic of the administra-
ton since his retirement from the
cabinet.
There is no cessation Of the talk
which has been prevalent in the war
department during the last week, both
favorable and opposed to a general in
vestigation Of army affairs during the
war. Adjutant General Corbin may
be set down as opposed to an investi-
cation. He believes that the bulk of
the criticisms have been made by per-
sons who either have no acquaintance
with military affairs or who are in
Bpired by selfish motives in their agl-
tation of the subject,
