Mr.. SIMMONS RE TIRES.

Yesterday the term of Hon. +. NJ.
Simomns expired as Collector of Inter
nal Revenue for the district composed
of Eastern North Carolina. He retires
with record of which he has just cause
to- be proud. Upon his appointment
to office he called to his aid capable eff
fcient gentlemen who have labored with
him with no other view than rendering
efficient Hublic service. He has the
satisfaction of knowing that under ms
administration the office has ranked
with the best. the LAW has been enforced
without friction, and the people have
come to regard the officers i'll the light
of faithful officials and not as, persc-
cutors.
Mr.. Simmons returns to the practice
of law with offices in Raleigh, Newbern
and Smithfeld. As member of Con-
gress from the second district; as chair
man of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee. and as Collector of Internal
Revenue he has made reputation for
ability and capacity that give him rank
among the leaders of his party i'll the
State. The people of Raleigh rejoice
that he will continue his residence at
the capital.

meanwhile, may, however, have merely
been n coincidence.

AGAINST LIFE TENURE.

In . speech delivered in the House
of Representatives ON the eleventh of
January, Hon. James G. Mcguire, the
leading Democrat in California. threw
a flood Of light ON a plank in the Chi
oago platform when he said:
Il had the honor to lie member Of
the committee on platform and resolu-
tons of the Democratic national con
vention of 1896. and then approved, as
/ do now approve, of the plank in that
platform declaring against life tenure
in the public service. The meaning
of that plank was not that the civil
service laws should be repealed, n01
that we should return to the spoils sys-
tenn of appointing public servants; but
that all laws providing for the life ten
IRE of public offices should be so amend
cd as 10 limit the tenure of such Of
fees, and all offices, to specified terms,
or to periods within specified terms.
That has always been the Democratic
idea.
Thomas jefferson stood for that idea
most uncompromisingly and repeatedly
declared that the violation of that pro-
vision in the constitutional provision for
the appointment of judges of the FEEDER
al courts, including justices of the Su-
preme Court of the United States, was
violation of the principles of popular
sovereignty and the creation of a dual
form of government dangerous at all
times to the perpetuity of free institu-
tons and certain at some time to be
used for the subyersson of free institu-
tons and the destruction of popular
government.
1.-THE principle of the Chicago conVen-
ton, as enunciated in it's plank de-
claring against life tenure in public Of
fee, is that all employees of the govern
ment should he limited in their tenure
Of office to fixed terms; that only the
faithful and competent Should be APP
fe.nted. and that no person should be re-
appointed to office after he has reached
an age at which, in the course of ma
ture, the infirmities of age will be like
ly to render him incompetent to per-
form the functions of office; and that
the government should DE under no OBJ
legation to any officer or other employee
after the expiration Of his term of of
fee or employment"
The time will come when every officer
cf the govcrnment-from Chief Justice
down to the lowest salaried clerk-will
have fixed tenure of office, and when
TIE dangerous life tenure will be swept
away. 1t can't come too soon.

POLITICAL BANK OPERATORS.

mont Bank of Morganton, we protested
against the partisan spirit displayed by
TIE State Treasurer in his haste to have
a Republican appointed to act as Re
ceiver Tie haste made waste and has
delayed the work which the new Re
ceiver has in hand. When a bank fails,
the advice of the business men of the
community ought to be needed instead
OF the politicians.
We are informed that though this
rank has been closed two months moth
ing whatever has been done toward col
lecting the notes due the bank, but that
three orders have already been made

has been wasted at the expense of tnc
assets of the bank. The officers of the
bank made mistakes, but they were
honest and honorable gentlemen. II
is due them as we'll as the creditors OF
the bank that the assets should he real
lied with as little expense as possible.
