P0PULIsTs WITH THE DEMOCRATS.
Mrs. Hopkins Falls Out of Her Door and is
Picked Up Dead.

Especial to News and Observer
Scotland Neck, n. c., May 5.-Hon.
Claude Kitchin returned yesterday
from Clinton and Rockingham, where
he spoke to large crowds. At Clinton
many Populists heard him and some
declared they would vote the Demo-
cratic ticket.
At Rockingham Mr.. Kitchin says he
felt like there was no need for the
preaching of Democratic doctrine. He
says that they are as strong there
for the Amendment as they can be
anywhere in the East.
A few miles from town Mrs. Hop
kins fell out of her door a day or two
ago and when she was taken up she
was dead.
In Temperance Hall Thursday night

STILL SITS AT THE
GATE.

We printed last Tuesday petitions
of some twenty-five business men
along the Southern Railway, asking
the Corporation Commission to COM
pei that road to open the offices it
had closed on account of the strike.
The petitioners set forth that every
telegraph office on the Murphy branch
and every depot except possibly one
had been closed, some of them for
weeks, and that their business was be-
ing very greatly damaged thereby.
These petitions were copied from
the official records in the office of the
Corporation Commission, as was also
Col. Andrews answer in which he de-
clared that if the citizens on that sec
ton hadn't interfered with his bust
ness 'the so-called strike would have
been a thing of the past in very
few days"
All of this was, news never before
printed and made mighty interesting
reading, but the Southern Railways
organ in this city doesn't think SO.
In fact it grows furious over it and
rises on it's hind legs, jackal fashion,
and banks ''wilfully malicious publ
cation at us.
Evidently Mordecai still sits at the
gate.
Also this corporation-nurtu inn
print reads us a lesson for publishing
the Garter case decision in which the
Supreme court on last Tuesday held
that a railroad is liable to a heavy
fine and penalty for failure to ship
goods promptly. 1t finds in this IAN
insult covertly offered to these West
ern people" 1t reviews and reverses
the courts opinion, declaring most
positively that ''no honest jury i'll shat
or any other section would give
a verdict for damages in
a case growing out of the recent
troubles with the operators" And
much more to the same furious effect.
Perhaps The Organ has never read
the following beautiful but touching
lines which we quote here for its edi-
fication and instruction:

EDITORS ARE LIKE PREACHERS.

There is not a day that a conscien-
tious editor is not troubled about
what to print and That not to print
He is wise editor who prints all the
news that is news, keeping always
in mind that the lesson taught by the
current news is kept in the channel
that makes for wholesomeness. The
reader never knows how much scan
dial is suppressed by the editor who
publishes only what is SO notorious
or SO well known that his subscribers
have right to correct statement
of the facts. An editor frequently
has the experience related of Mr..
Beecher in recent issue of the La
dies Home Journal. We quote:
In the early days of Mr.. Beechers
career, when wit was unknown in the
pulpit, some of the deacons of his
church asked him if he didn't think
such frequent outbursts of humor
were calculated to diminish his use
fulness. He listened patiently and
when they finished he said: Brethren,
if you only knew how many funny
things | keep in, you wouldn't COM
plain about the few | let OUT
If the reader knew how much an
editor suppresses, there would be less
criticism of what he prints.
And in this connection it would not
be amiss to refer to a striking SER
mon preached in the First Baptist
Church of Wilmington last Sunday by
Rev. DIR. Calvin S. Blackwell, from the
text. ''To the making of many books
there is no end" His subject was
1.-THE Making of Books, Printers, Tel
egraphers and Newspaper Men, In
the course of his remarks he declared
that "the printing office is school. col
,lege and university for the brightest
intellects of every age" and added:
"a newspaper office is school of
unselfishness. No other class serves
a community so well and too often for
SO little pay, either in cash or APP
probation. Every Gay and night the
newspaper is doing free work for the
general betterment of the commune
lty. If a lawyer was called upon
by, the city authorities to do for the
city the same amount and no more
valuable writing than that which ev-
cry newspaper does free every day
the charge would be $50 or more. If
the newspapers were to cease for a
week it would be as dark and lone
some as if the pail of an eclipse COW
cred us, and Wilmington would be to
the outside world practically as
though she were not"
DR.. Blackwell is right. The news
paper ranks next to the pulpit and
school as an educational and moral
power. Conscious of this responsible
ity. makers Of newspapers, as rule,
try to discharge it for the benefit and
uplifting of their readers. 1t too Of
ten happens, however, that the pulpit
is in antagonism to the press. and
the newspaper is made a favorite sub
iect for moralizing on the part OF the
minister. But it is gratifying to find
one here and there, like DR.. Black
well, who is disposed to give credit
where credit is due.
