A good example Of Gladstone's an.
thority over his hearers is given BY
George W. Smalley in his paper on
Mr.. Gladstone in the August Harper's
Mr.. Smalley drove down town from
London to Woolwich with the late
Ashton Dixie, man Of much force
Of character, to hear Mr.. Gladstone
speak TO his constituents. As they
left the hall, Mr.. Smalley asked Mr.
Dixie what he thought Of the speech.
"You know" he answered, that I am
no friend Of Mr.. Gladstone, and am
out Of all political sympathy with
him. But 70 long az he spoke was
his disciple. II he had told us to 70
out and set fire to the town, I should
have gone" Another anecdote Of .
different nature took place in the an.
te-room Of Schaw Mndsay's Office,
when Mr. Gladstone, who had Just be.
come chancellor d the exchequsr,
was waiting TIL the ship owner was
at liberty. Selling some paper, he be.
came absorbed in the preparation Of
a public document, unconscious that
he was being closely watched by IN.
other person In the room. This other
person was a rough Northumbrian
ship owner. Suddenly he addressed
Mr. Gladstone, in the rude Doric Of
the north: Young man, are You In
want Of employment! II you are,

PENDANT is a practical abandonment of
his official duties and a farming out
of his office to the said French and is
a continuous violation of section 2OS4,
volume 1, of The Code Of North Caro-
lima.
Wherefore, the plaintiff prays judg-
ment against the defendant that he
forfeit the sum of five hundred dol
lars, one-half to the use of the county,
and the other half to the plaintiff; and
the costs of this action.
IREDELL MEARES,
P. B. MANNING,
FRANK McNEILL,
B. G.. EMPIE.
Attorneys for RelatOr.
Ere this suit is terminated, it will
lead to some interesting disclosures of
the n in which the republican
bosses traffic in jublic offices. It has
been a matter of frequent comment
that Hewlett was only the nominal
sheriff of New Hanover county. And
that French, of fraud commission
fame, was the real sheriff.
Hewlett spends his time at Mason
boro sound, where he resides, and
makes only occasional visits to the
city. He is supposed to come up on
pay days only. French runs the office
in toto. Any one around the courts
n office room finds this out. 1t is
almost a matter Of surprise that
French has not long since discharged
Hewlett. There is something really
kind in the benevolent attitude of
French to Hewlett. Few men would
continue to pay a useless s~upernuner-
airy, ever at a small stipend, but, then,
perhaps it is the law, after all, that
obliges French to permit the harmless
Hewlett to wear the Semblance of a
sheriff's livery. And so it pays Hew-
lett. even a small consideration. while
neither troubling him nor requiring his
time. he prefers to baSk in the sum
shine and enjoy the balmy air of Ma
sonbOrO. There is one duty he arOuseS
himself to perform, and it is to stand
by when jurors are called to see to it
that "Russells ~''savages" are packed
into the jury box at the ratio of II to 1.
For the little 'loaves and fishes" the
negroes go on electing these kind of
officials, who trade and traffic public
offices. bringing disrepute upon the ad-
ministration of public affairs. 1t will
not always be so. Something is going to
happen. 1t will and must happen. On
November s. 1898, there will be made
an end of the Trenches and Hewletts.
1t is reported that G.. z. French, who
once charged a fellow m of the
legislature $1,000 for endorsing a draft
for him., at a time when he (French)
was on the verge of bankruptcy, is
fearful that Hewlett may give every
| thing away when their case comes up
for hearing. Hewlett is not satisfied
| with the division of the Spoils. as he.
the elected sheriff. receives only 81, 200
per year to keep away from the office.
while French, his deputy, scoops about
s., 200. G.. z. has always placed a high
| estimate on his name and any one get
ing the use of it. though worthless.
must pay well.
