A DANGEROUS ATTACK.
One of the Southern's Conductors is Knocked
Down and Left by His Train.
(Charlotte Observer. !

Charlotte Observer
A gentleman who was on the South
ern passenger train No. z, last Sunday
night, informed an Observer reporter yes
terday of murderous attack on Captain
j. l.. Smith, the conductor of the train
The train left High Point on time, COM
ing South, and had proceeded several
miles when it was found that Captain
Smith was not on the cars. The train
went back to High Point where it was
discovered that just as the conductor was
about to step on the platform of the de-
parting train a ruffian knocked him down
by blow on the head with a stick. Cap
tain Smiths cap was cut through by the
force of the blow and he was badly
bruised on the forehead. He soon recov-
cred from the injury.
1t is thought that the attack on the
conductor was made by one of a number
of men who have a habit of trying to
beat their way on trains between Thorn
asville and High Point, and who have n
grudge because they are sometimes mt
off the trains.

Gratis that he should have been the
disgruntled one than that it should
have been Mr.. Croker. Mr.. Hill is q
man of decidedly more integrity, and
in the present campaign seems to be
earnest for the election of Mr.. Bryan.
Consequently he and his friends will
give the ticket hearty support. This
would hardly have been expected of
the Tammany chieftain, who, if he
had lost to Hill, would have hardly
hesitsted to sacrifice the national
ticket in order to defeat Hills slate

little in the muddle, or out of it, to

AN EFFORT is being made to gel
representative men as members of the
Constitutional Convention and to
keep it out Of the hands of profes-
sional politicians. The insatiate de-
sire OF that class to seize every thing
that comes in sight, to be gotten for
the taking or cozsning, will probably
thwart the desires of those who sp-
preclate how momentous task con.
fronts them in giving the State q new
Constitution. Such organic laws can
not be made and unmade so easily as
statutes Of the Legislature, and a
Constitution has usually the life of a
generation. 1t does appear, then
that the people of this State at this
time have q right to demand that the
ordinary politician step aside and per.
NIT those who have more at stake to
frame laws which must govern them
sad their children. This, however,
will hardly be considered by the Of
fice-seeker, and there is but one thing
left that We can see which will stop
him. He must be, or soon will be,
aware, that Constitution making will
be the undoing of political prospects.
Very few who hope to rise by their
affiliations with the Convention will
ever do so. Some members who are
already high in political circles may
come out unscathed, but the lesser
lights who are sspirsnts for political
preferment in the future will ind
their way by no means easy. 1t is
folly to think that all the provisions
Of Constitution will meet with the
approval OF the masses, and the
chances srs that each clause will have
