The Post says:
The Statesville Mascot considers itself con
strained to cham piOn the odious tutlel
measure that the fusionists recently attemp
ted TO revivify. But if the Mascot feels dis
posed to become responsible for the obliga
tons OF the insOlvent party of Buterlsm. il
is nobody's business but its perhaps.
If we are not mistaken in the oGur
age and back bone of the Mascot I'd
itor, he will stand to what be be

good will come of it.
THE CONFEDERATE VETERANs-BR
UP ABRUPTLY.
The Confederate Veterans me
here last week. Some from nearl,
all parts Of the State. The mum bel
present was not near so large as thu
impression obtained from the papers
1t was wonderful how the wculd-be
leaders worked to make them fee
and think on certain lines. AN,
ordinary observer could not help bu
s.e politics in it all,' remarked al
old soldier. From the way they were
spoken of in the press and too in the
mestings by the speakers, one would
think that every man of them in ev
cry way, aud under all circumstan
ces, would stand back gratuitousl,
grant everything to a Confederat,
soldier. But much OF this is no
true. II depends altogether VIII.
and whero he is, whether he is pre-
ferfed above every other man or boy
Or not. M,ny of these papers which
talk the loudest, support. d 'oys arc
men without any war r. cord agains
one armed and one-ieeged solai"rs il
the last campaign. And even il
their own party, shey do got AWAY:
like the old soldier the hes,. Tn. r.
were several maimed soldiers b re fol
jobs. OF course, they had been Ii
TO believe they would get all tae
jobs to be given away. Bat No. IL"
one in ten got such job. Snm,
able bodied party worker was pre-
ferred to the old soldier. Thsy wert
here without the means 10 stay long
.r while he re to have the ccmfort
their more favored brethren coult
epj y. Yet the leaders and politi
clans who did the speakiBg had tn,
audacity to say the old soldiers bat
comfortabs homes ard did not neet
pensions etc. They handled the pen
sion matter very ingeniously. Tbi
is the way it has ben done every
where, and hence, the impressio,
had gone out that they were oppose,
to and did not need pensions. Tn
Leaders wrote some resolution
thanking Mckinley for his kias
words and thaking the No ther la
dies for the care they we're taking 0
the Confederate G aves in the North
Even this did lot suit some bot
hea DIS. This was on Wedn+ sda
night in representatives hall. Wad
dell, of Wilmington, was called up
on. Here the war began. He pro
, fesses to have too much of the wa
spirit in him. He raised row an,
the meeting broke un very abruptly
at the disgust of all present. Man
OF the soldiers were panied. We can
S give Whist was said aid done. W
4 qnote from the Observer all it sci
on this line. 1t did not give ta
, report. If Populiss speakers had s
:, spoken and the chalr could not sc
order and the meeting had broke
r just as this dad, the Observer woul
: nave riticised it heavily. The Lac
: ers and not the old soldiers of III
country did it. Hers is what ID
Observer said about the wrangle:
Calls were made for Col A. NJ, Waddel
