OUR NATIONAL PERIL.
New York Journal.

New York Journal.
THE time was when the least of the
scandals with which this town reeks would
have aroused the entire people to fury.
Now sentiment is apathetic. The average
man does not feel any very burning in
dignation against public thieves. Per-
hapS he feels that he might not act so
very differently in their place. At any
rate he feels that nothing makes any
particular difference unless he personally
is Immediately affected.
1t was not by men who felt and acted
in this way that our Republic was found
ed. The fathers of the nation thought of
the general good first, and many of them
sacrificed their own interests for it's sake.
Robert Morris devoted his great fortune
to the public service and was thrown
into Jail for debt. Now self interest is
the absorbing passion. Every man looks
first to his own advancement. Some are
naturally honest and others dishonest, but
with selfishness the handspring of action
dishonesty is the policy that is certain
to spread and eventually prevail
In this is the seed of commercial paral
ysis, political decay, and ultimately of ma
tional ruin. 1t will be too late to check
it when the disease is at it's height.

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.

The Republican convention in Virginia
Republican convention held in North
Carolina last year. Here the mass OF
the white voters of the State were re-
solved to eliminate the negro vote, and
the Democrats had already drawn the
amendment carrying restriction OF the
negro vote, but the Republicans, by all
sorts of Misrepresentation, sought to de-
feat it, They failed utterly in their
demagogism and love of negro voters.
In Virginia the Constitutional Conven-
ton has not yet fixed the plan of getting
rid of the negro vote, but that doesn't
stop the imitation of the plan of dema-
gogy which was adopted in North Caro-
lima, and all the speakers denounce the
plan-whatever it may be-that Will take
the vote from the negro. 1t is the desire
to keep the negro vote in Virginia as IN
North Carolina that prompts Republican
oprceition to the new suffrage provision.
There is another way in which the Vir-
ginia Republicans arc initiating their
North Carolina brethren. We are told
that there were few negro delegates in
the convention" and a fash-light took
picture showing "a white Republican con-
vention," anG that fact WIS heralded to
the world. The negro was given the
twink" there as here But ne will be at
the polls thinking they can fool the
white folks. In this State. after having
put 1000 negroes i'll Office in iS93-7, the
Republicans male the negro take back
scat in 1898 in the hope of fooling the
white voters. 1t did not deceive anybody
IN North Carolina; it will not fool the
white people of the Cid Dominion.
We are told that the convention went
into ecstatic applause for Hanna as
Presidential candidate" Hanna's name
received more applause than McKinley's.
There was the usual row between Fed
eral office holders and those who didn't
get the offices, and the report tells of a
uelegaCe VINO ndu Ueeu IHElDluS wv
freely and was speaking 'incoherently."
The whole thing wound up by the
nomination IF j. Hampton Hoge for Gov
ernor. He is the sort of candidate that
suits Republicans. He was Democrat
up to 1893 Mr.. Cleveland gave him an
Asiatic consulship and Hoge started to
San Francisco to go to his new post. He
left a streak of painting the town red
all the way from Virginia to California.
His conduct was SO disgraceful that Mr.
Cleveland removed him from office ana
took away his credentials. He returned
to Virginia and became a Republican IN
stead of going to Kelley Institute, where
such as he should go, and, of course, has
been made the leader Of the Repu5ll-
cans Nothing so delights the Southern
Republicans as to put in the leadership
of their party a man who was kicked out
Of the Democratic party because OF MS
unfitness to hold minor office. That very
expulsion makes him prime favorite as
a Republican leader.

THE THING TO DO, BRETHREN.
Charity and Children.

Charity and Children.
Six years ago ThOmasville was as dead
as a door nail. The streets looked like
lanes through a farm, and there was an
air of thriftlessness and Indifference
throughout the community that was dis
heartening. The town had only one man
ufactory of any Importance. BY and by
others were projected Things began to
stir. and men picked up their feet as they
walked and quit lying around the streets.
Today there are a dozen or fifteen splen-
did plants, all prosperous, there is
thriving bank handling lots of money,
graded school is to open next month, and
instead of a sleepy, pokey village we have
a hustling town giving its rivals lively
race. The workmen are going to put
their children in school and support their
families instead of compelling their fami
lies to support them. All this change is
the result of our own people putting their
own money in chair, furniture and other
manufacturing enterprises. The town has
a solid backing, sure enough, now, and the
farmers are feeling the effect of the bust
ness revival for miles around. 1t is the
thing to do, brethren.

THE GRAVE OF MACON.

1t is gratifying to know that DR.. f. A.
Macon and Mr.. I. M. Pittman. OF Hen
derson, have already made arrange
ments to acquire the ownership of Ma
cons grave" When the "details can be
put in shape" these gentlemen will be
glad to have the cooperation of the
press and others to organize Macon
memorial association. We have no doubt
when the call is made that sufficient
number of North Carolinians will join
the association to assure it's success.
The revival of interest in Macon. which
has eliminated in the action of DR.. Ma
con and Mr. Pittman may be said to have
begun with the series of articles about
Macon that appeared in these columns
from the pen of DR.. VIM. E. Dodd, OF
Randolph Macon College, who is writing
the Life of Macon. The dozen or more
editorials in this paper, the sketch OF
Macon by ]. Gilchrist Mccormack, and
Notes" by Hon. Kemp P. Battle all
added to this interest The very excel
lent article in the Louisburg Times by
Prof Nj. S. Davis, president OF Louisburg
Female College, describing his visit to the
dila pidated home and neglected grave of
Macon, sharply brought to the attention
of the people of the State this neglect OF
North Carolina's most eminent ~ublic
man, and will result in an organization
that will remove the stigma, and make
Macon grave the mecca Of patriotic
North Carolinians.
