The people of Paterson, n. J., have
now decided to deal with the anarchists
themselves and a vigilance committee
has been formed. This committee has
sent letters to the most obnoxious an
archists giving them tweny-four hours
to cave town. There are frequent in
l~stances in American history where such
committees have accomplished a good
work and contributed to the preserva-
ton of law and order. When it comes
to dealing with such anarchists as in
fest Paterson it does seem that a vigi-
lance committee is fully justified.-Ral-
eigh Times.
The Post cannot commend too highly
the action of the executive committee
of the democracy of Mecklenburg in
resembling so much of the plan of pri-
mary recently adopted a. to make it
satisfactory to the entire democracy
Iof that good old county. The time has
mot come in our judgment, for a resort
to such extreme innovations, and now
the matter has been adjusted, there
can be no reasonable grounds for any
further division. Much depends upon
"a united democracy ir Mecklenburg,
land all good democrats will rejoice that
the only obstacle to such unity has been
removed.-Raleigh Post.
