The decision of Judge Dewey, OF
Washington county, seems to be a
knockout blow on the biennial election
amendment. 1t was made Tuesday on
an agreed case as to facts. The Judge
knew it was coming before him for
some weeks and had his decision pre-
pared carefully. 1t was on the ques-
ton of the right to hold Office of the in
coming and outgoing county attorneys
of Washington county. The case was
brought with the approval of the in
coming and outgoing attorney generals.
Judge Dewey stands high with the
legal fraternity and we presume his
able opinion will have considerable in
huence on the public mind in the state
and will have influence with the
supreme court which will finally deter
mine the question in very few weeks.
The fact of the proposed amendment
not having been recorded on the
journal of the house as is required is
the ground upon which Judge Dewey
rules it out
The editor of this paper voted for the
amendment. We thought and still do
that elections are too frequent. Less
politics and more business would be
better. But with the trouble this
amendment threatened about the
lengthening of terms of Office not in
tended to be heightened, it may be its
death will be good radiance. If it
stands there is also ahead of our people
many changes in the length of official
terms necessary. Some would surely
have to be heightened and others
changed around. 1t would involve so
many changes of questionable propriety
that possibly we will he as we'll off after
all with it dead as alive. One thing
sure, its enactment was bungle that
should teach legislatures lesson.

Cured by Forgetting.

This is an English story, and, strange
as 1t may seem, It made hit when 1t
was told at the Lambs club, says the
New York Telegraph. 1t was perpe-
trated by Lawrence d'Orsay. the Eng
lish actor. Several members of the
club spun yarns Of dubious merit.
when Mr.. d'Orsay in his peculiar way
began:
"Now, gentlemen, I'll relate a story"
One man present pulled out his
watch. and they all thought 1t was go
Ing to be serial. One or two started
to go, but the actor stopped them by
his assurance that the story wouldn't
be very long.
There was friend of mine In Lon.
DON" he said, who was an incessant
cigarette smoker. Finally he lost his
memory. Then he forgot to smoke Gig
arettes, and he got well again."
Mr.. d'Orsay effected his escape
through the assistance of friend who
knew him when he didn't tell such sto-
rIes.

Grover Cleveland's advice to his
party to return to their first principles
is rather amusing. Democracy has
made fat failure in meeting the new
and practical questions that have come
up in the last fifty years, and this is an
acknowledgment of it by the party's
greatest leader of that time.

The Old Chestnuts.

II Is said that a certain Cleveland
lady whose handsome house Is In an
ultrafashlonable section of the city was
called east while her home was under
going the renovating and refurnishing
process. During her absence a man
was especially engaged to hang the pic
lures. Among them were a number of
excellent copies of the worlds greatest
works Of art, aud the man, an artist,
found his task labor of love.
With great care he hung the more
valuable copies in the roomy reception
hall and had just finished his task
when the lady returned.
Her eyes snapped as she surveyed his
work.
"who hung those old chestnuts
there" she cried.
"Old masters, madam" said the star
tied artist
"Old chestnuts, | say; it's the same
thing. II you hung them, take them
down. l won't have them there. With
new furniture and new decorations and
new carpets and rugs III have new
pictures too, Who ever heard Of such
old trumpery stuff in strictly modern
house%
"And what shall do with the-the
old chestnuts, madam" the artist in
quired.
"Oh, dump them into the attic until |
can get rid of them" replied the lady.
And there the "chestnuts" lie, Ma
donnas and cherubs and all, gathering
dust and calmly awaiting the getting
rid Of process.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

tives. They are usually let out to con-
tractors who construct temporary rail
ways for hauling dirt from excava-
tons.
Contractors who hire the locomotives
usually have their own names gilded
on them so that the public may suppose
that they belong to them. The engines,
as usual thing, are cast offs. They
may have pulled express trains once,
but now they are only fit to pull gravel
cars. The engineers who work them
are oftentimes also the cast offs OF the
profession. They may have operated
express engines, but through careless
ness or other incapacity have been dis
charged from one road after another
until they are only fit to haul gravel or
wood trains. Philadelphia Record,

What about McKinleyism in New
England. 1t is not popular in Boston
and in Maine ditto. The recent cleo
tons in Maine bore witness to McKin-
ley rejection. In Boutelle's district the
republicans will not get more than
5000 majority instead of Boutelle's TO-
900 in the election before. Bangor gave
him 900 and now the democratic candi-
date carries it by $50. Is not that Il

Judge G. H. Brown, OF Washington,

ported for twenty years or more that

Christian character of the %grievously
maligned North Carolinian. We give a

founded. He was in Washington at the
time the elder Daniels was shot. jose
plus Daniels was his name. He was Il
shipwright and l have heard my father
say he was 4 man of exalted Christian
character. There is a memorial win
dow to his memory in the Methodist
church here
He gives also what Captain Joseph
A. Farrior says, and it fully exonerates
Mr.. Daniels and should set at rest for
ever the longtime SANDER against a
true man and most devout Christian.

doubted character. and integrity" He

penses this year. a complete inven-
tory has been taken and a financial

badly tangled. and so are those in the
city treasury which contain the peni-
tertiary accounts. The Fusionists
made wild work of the penitentiary
during their regime. They also worked
the agricultural department for all IL
was worth though in the latter case no
stealing was done"
1t is worse than outsiders supposed.
Whenever radicals and ~fusionists have
got control in North Carolina sad havoc
was made. A complete. true history of
radical ~thievings, miscarriages, unwise
expenditures. reckless extravagances

A Wilmington friend calls attention
to a mistake made by this writer as to
John London Macadam. He was a
Scotsman. born in 1856 at Ayr, and died
in Scotland in 1886. as we find by re-
ferring to a ~Cyclopedia. He was you
see 80 years old at death. We make
the correction of our ignorance. We
read written five or six years ago as to
his nativity. We had never consulted
a sketch in any C~yclopedia, not doubt
ing the correctness of the article we
read. He did a great work for Great
Britain. and particularly for England.
