SHOULD RETURN MORE FINES

Wilkesboro Chronicle.
The magistrates Of the county paid into
the sheriff's office last year only about
$75. This is such little amount that
it suggests that there ought to be some
investigation of the matter.
All the fines imposed by magistrates
go to the school fund, and the school chill
dren should have the benefit of them.
1t doesn't look like the magistrates are
doing their duty when 100 magistrates or
more turn over for the school children on
ly SIS. Magistrates should remember
that dismissing cases on payment of costs
is cheating the school children out of
what should belong to them. If per-
son is guilty he should be punished with
a fine sufficient to be a punishment
These little nominal fines are farces. Let
the magistrates look at this matter
nightly, impose reasonable fines and pay
them over to the sheriff

TO OBTRUDE HIS PERSONALITY.
Atlanta Constitution.
The Democratic party is slowly and
surely approaching a condition of har-
mony that BODIES we'll for it and bad
for its opponents. AS an honored and
indebted Democrat Mr. Cleveland could
iii afford to intrude his personality and
preference as obtruct.ons to this most
desirable process of party unifcation.
He is not Indispensable to party victory
in 1904. Mr.. Bryan is not the man to
achieve it, Neither of them can Loyalty
rightly, impose reasonable fines and pay
less than abJure his own ambitions and
lead whatever following he influences in
to the camp and ranks of party newly
united and jubilant for victory.
The issue of the present with the ma
tional democracy is this-to forego any
programme centering on either Cleveland
or Bryan and go wisely and honestly to
the work of finding that third man, who
can and will lead the party to triumph.
He lives and can be found, and against
him there will be raised none Of the OBJ
jections that would be valid against
either Cleveland or Bryan.
Great issues are to be presented in the
presidential campaign next year and it
would be the extreme of folly for the
Democratic party to enter the battle
weighted down with the feuds of past
campaigns. Whether Mr.. Cleveland
wrecked the party or not, the discussion
of the issue now inside the party, or with
its opponents, would lead to no conclus-
ion other than our confusion and certain
defeat
The Democrats of the nation must rise
once more to the great attitude the par
ty held in 1876 and set it's face as a
flint against the appearance even OF
adopting the defeated notions of Republi-
cans or preposterous partisans The ma
ton needs the reformations that can only
come with Democratic administration
and president whose strength is in his
character and the possibilities of his tu-
ture in that high office.
The democracy is not dead and i'm
potent; it is not poverty-stricken as to
men of presidential abilities, or hopeless
as to its hold upon American patriot
ism. If left free to act upon the issues
