cubiertas de los omnibus. Sc
ven de todas classes: ligeros y
elegantes, cruzados por anchas
correas de cuero amarillento,
que senejan tirantes; pesados y
rechonchos, con gordos vientres
de ultrama1ino retirado; de CO.
lores llamativos los unos; de to-

tslas las manifestations del

halarse por la cerradura del baul
del pobre, baul estrecho, negro

Pasan los unos despidiendo

los despojos de la vida humana,
Secretos que no Sc cuentan, init
midades de todas classes. a veces

Why Cleveland Will Not Do.
(Webster,s weekly

Hon. r. B. Glenn, of Winston, stated in
a speech at Wentworth, in this county
that while District Attorney of the West
ern N. G. District he began proceedings
against The Cigarette Trust under the
Sherman act and was promised the co
operation OF the Attorney General, who
told him he was on the right track and
to do his best. He drew a BILL with the
assistance Of his associate, Mr.. Covington,
an able lawyer, and had his witnesses
ready, but the day it was to go the grand
jury he was stopped by telegram from
the Attorney General Mr.. Olney. When
court adjourned he went to Washington
and asked the reason OF this unexpected
interference. Mr.. Olney told him 1T was
deemed inexpedient to move in the matter
then. Upon the death of Judge Gresham,
Mr. Olney was made Secretary OF State,
and Judge Harmon. of Ohio, became At
torney General Mr.. Glenn renewed his
case and strengthened it very much, with
Mr. Harmon's cordial approval and assur-
ance of cooperation. The fateful day ar
rived; the witnesses were ready; the grand
jury would be asked to pass on the mat
ter that afternoon. But ere the clock
struck high noon telegram was handed

General He went to washington and told
Mr. Harmon that the Department had
made him ridiculous and he was tired of
being trifled with. Mr. Harmon told him
he knew il put him in an awkward sltua.
ton, but he wanted him to know That he
(Harmon) was not responsible for 1t; that
the telegram was sent by order OF Presl-
dent Cleveland! That, of course, ended
it. Mr.. Glenn made this statement IN
substance, in the presence OF two or three
hundred representative citizens.
The trusts and politicians may noml-
nate this man again-the power OF money
and the lust for office may be combined
to that end-but he does not deserve the
support of any true Democrat Better an
open enemy tnan an arrant humDug and
traitor.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECKS

RESPONSIBILITY FOR WRECKS.
Asheville Citizen.
The horrible wreck of passenger train
on the Southern Railway, near Raleigh
yesterday, was due to criminal careless
ness. !" One gentleman counted two
hundred rotten ties on the track where
the accident occurred. Some of the ties,
at the place of the accident, were so rot
ten that they would not hold a spike.
People were astounded at the condition
OF the ties and horrifed to think that
the travelling public is subjected to such
hazardous risks to life and limb.--News
and Observer.
A truly astounding state of affairs,
and one that ought to at once receive
the attention of the Corporation Com
mission.
1t is a part OF its duty, prescribed by
low, to inspect the railroads of the State
and condemn all improperly constructed
or dangerously deteriorated roads, and
forbid the running of trains over all such
rthe use of worn out or unrepaired
equipment until absolute safety is in
sured
That provision was put in the law for
the protection of the travelling public
from just such accidents as that near
Raleigh last Tuesday.
AS the News and Observer remarks,
''The multitude of wrecks demands that
an example be made of railroad officials
guilty of criminal negligence" 1t should
have added "And the failure of railroad
commissioners to condemn any road
known to be unsafe makes them parties
to the crime
We do not charge that our Corporation
Commission has been negligent of duty
in this respect On the contrary, we be-
lieve they have honestly and conscient
iously tried to do their full duty, but
the condition OF affairs on a main line
OF one of the great railroad systems of
the State revealed by last Tuesdays wreck
points the necessity for greater activity
in this respect on their part. Recently
in discussing this very question in con-
nection with another wreck on the same
road, we took occasion to remark:
There are in North Carolina alone many
make-shift pieces of railroad track-and
not all of belonging TO small systems,
either-that our commissioners might
spend considerable time inspecting, to the
cost of the railroad perhaps, but to the
greater security of the travelling public.
We hope the Corporation Commission
will see the necessity for action in this
matter and do all in their power to make
travel more safe. Then let courts and
juries be more strict in fixing the value
of human life or limb. lost through neg
lect, and the railroads viii be more care
full not to assume the responsibility OF
employing careless men or of operating
with equipment or roadbed that are not
known TO be perfectly safe

ANOTHER THEORY OF THE CAUSR
OF THE WRECK.

If the Southern Railway origin" pro
crosses much further in its fury against
those who dare to say rotten tie" in con
nection with the Southern Railway wreck
near Raleigh we may expect to see it put
forth a theory of the cause OF the wreck
something like the following:
ION last Tuesday afternoon. certain
malicious passengers. animated by pref
udice' against the Southern Railway, de-
liberately undertook to destroy the prop
erty of that company by throwing the
train from the track. Exactly how these
evil minded anarchists did this devilish
crime, may never be known, but, as the
cars were completely turned over, it would
seem probable that while the train was
running at full speed. these evil minded
anarchists, deliberately jumped to the top
of the cars, overturning them. and pre-
cipitating them down an embankment
twenty feet high The injury to the cars
was very great, though the property de-
stroying passengers did not utterly destroy
the property, as they doubtless intended
to do. The property owners of the State,
who win be horror-stricken at this an
archistie plot to injure railroad property,
should understand that the fomentors of
discord, responsible for the wreck on the
immaculate Southern, are teaching doc
trines that would cause reckless persons
to apply the torch to every railroad and
factory in this State. 1t is actually true
that one passenger, a member of the Leg
islature, thrust his head through the
veneering of one of the cars, permanently
injuring the car which will involve heavy
expense to the truly good Southern Rail-
way. If legislators thus wantonly and
viciously destroy property of the Southern
Railway. what may we not expect of the
anarchistic masses who are taught to envy
all who have more than two shirts to their
back?
"In proof of our theory that the wreck
was caused by passengers who desired to
injure the property of the Southern Rail
way, we make this prediction: that some
of these very persons who wrought serious
damage to Southern Railway property,
will soon bring suits for damages
against the prosecuted Southern Railway,
and that anarchistic lawyers can be found
low and vile enough to appear for these
property destroying vandals. Suppose
they did get few bruises, it was not the
fault of the Southern Railway. Like the
King, it can do no wrong Instead of
bringing suit for damages. these passen-
gers ought to be prosecuted for the injury
done to the Southern Railway property.
If they escape the penitentiary, they
ought to think they got off mighty
light AS to those folks who talk about
rotten ties they deserve to be roasted
alive for presuming to talk about the
criminal negligence OF the saints who run
the Southern Railway, philanthropic
enterprise that spends its money in doing
good-to public officials it can bride and
to newspapers it can subsidize."
The origin has not yet been bold
enough to assign the above as the cause,
but its articles are in spirit and tone not
far removed from such reasons, and it is
certain it would print just such an ex-
PLANTATION if ''orders" were ''sent down"
for it to do So

cheeks the carnation had left its glow and
her lips had robber the roses. She was
healthy, fragrant, glowing, American girl,
of type that we love and protect and
honor. Her essay or grafton? Something
that told of throbbing hope, and ambition
and rosy skies Hard knocks are few in
the chrysalis period. Why shouldn't this
graduation girl for time believe in the
entire goodness of the world; believe in
perpetual sunshine? The band plays rag
CIV music for her now, her pulses quicken,
and she is happy. 1t is well. Why should
she know that further down the path there
are no flowers, the bands do not play and
the clouds often shut out the sun?
Let her have her good times. the Grad
uation Girl. Let her glory in the triumphs
and be proud of her attainments. There
can never be too much happiness in the
world; there is always too much sorrow.
Down in the front row are father and

hearts, but not always.
If you look closely you will see that
that old couple have just one object in
hfe-the girl. She is of their blood She
is slipping away from them as the years
go by, and often the mother cries silently
because of sorrow that is too deep fol
words. She is proud of her Graduation
Girl, but her arms are empty. and there
