Speak Kindly of The Dead.

The New York Sun, which for many
years was the bitterest opponent of
President Cleveland, printed a eulo-
CYSTIC leading editorial on his death,
headed "The Passing of a Great Fig
IRE in American History" 1t began:
'In the long perspective the three
most conspicuous features of Mr..
CleveIand's public career perhaps are
these: His steadfast fidelity to the
cause that was known as the civil
service reform, his readiness to 90 to
war with the strongest of naval
powers in defense of q principle that
is part of the Monroe doctrine, and
his courageous but strictly cOnstitu-
tional application of federal force in
the case of the Chicago railway riots
of 1888"
Its concluding paragraph follows:
in other days the ideas of Mr..
Cleveland and those of this newspa-
per with regard to many things
were notoriOusly not in accord. This
circumstance possibly makes it prop
er to say now what it will always be
pleasant for us to remember, namely,
that the personal breach ceased to
exist years ago, and that the Sun
has long numbered Grover Cleveland
amOngi its tconstant readers andfaith
ful friends. Peace to the ashes of the
good man and great leader, and
may the generations hold his name
and the memory of his deeds in Just
and hiWh esteem.

BRYAN AND KERN.

As had been clearly fOreseen would
be done William jennings Bryan was
nominated for President Of the United
States by the Democratic convention
in Denver last week. There was no
serious opposition, an overwhelming
majority Of the delegates being all
one way and no other name was put
before the convention.
John W. Kern Of Indiana wasnom-
mated for Vicc-President and his Sc
lection gives general satisfaction to
those who know him. Livingin Re
publican State Mr.. Kern has not
been conspicuous in the realm OF pol
itics. He has never held high official
position but has been the candidate
of his party for Governor and re-
ceived the Democratic minority
vote Of the Legislature for United
States Senator. That shows the
estimation in which lie is held
among his home people. He is said
TO be a man d fine ability and the
highest character and worthy of the
high honor which his party seeks to
confer upon him in the nomination
and election to the Vice-Presidency.
The platform commends itself as
being one upon which all Democrats
can stand

The country Of enterprise ana

mcrce from those countries which are

land is rich because Of the CONNER
cial tribute she exacts by her ships

There is too much money going out
Of the South. The bulk of the insu-
rance money Of our people, both for
life and fire Insurance, goes out OF
the State to the North. All too
much OF the money paid out for man
uiacturcd articles leaves home to ell
rich other sections of the country or
foreign Industries.
Our people depend too much upon
New York and the North generally
for the commerce in our manufac-
tured products. There are cases
where goods have been brought from
New York back to the Southern
towns where they were made. Our
people should look more after the
commerce in our home products and
see that they are distributed from
home rather than ship them away
wholesale for distribution.

Charity and Children


We wish the Republican conven-
ton might see it's way clear to en-
dorse the nomination OF Hon j. I.
Joyner, Superintendent OF Public In
struction. This high and honorable
place is clear above partisan politics,
and Mr.. Joyner has filed it SO
worthily and so well that he is enti-
tied to the enthusiastic support OF
every citizen of North Carolina with
out regard to political belief. The
education Of the children of our State
enters the realm of morals. 1t is a
sacred office and ought never to be
offered as q reward for party service.
1t has to do with the shaping OF
human destiny, the opening OF the
eyes OF the blind. 1t requires man
Of clear head and of tender heart-a
compassionate man who loves his
fellow-men. Mr.. Joyner has proven
himself exactly that kind OF man and
he should be rewarded for his un-
selfish service by the sympathy and
support Of all the people. 1t would
strengthen his hands and increase
his efficiency to be thus upnelu ny
the members of both the great par
ties. As we have said before, we do
not always agree with Mr.. Joyner in
his educational policy, but We do
know that there is no man among
US more sincerely anxious to lead all
the children into the light, or who is
freer from the political prejudice that
would blind him to the best and
highest interests OF all the people
without regard to class, creed or
color. We are not afraid to say
these things in the columns of Char
ty and Children in behalf of q nom
inee of the Democratic convention,
because he has shown himself to be a
faithful servant to all, and what is
more, he has helped to raise his great
office above the fog OF partisan pol
itiCS.

The Old Soldier and Politics.
Concord Tribune.

Concord Tribune.
Evidence is at hand that the Re-
pubicans will try to make capital OF
the fact that the recent Democratic
convention refused to name several
candidates who were Confederate sol
diers. No .One need be surprised at
thisfor our Republican friends usual
" Jump at such seeming opportunity
and in discussing the old soldier in
politics no attempt should be made
to meet the talk for effect INDUCED in
by the opposition. 1t is fact that
several candidates with civil war
records were turned down at Char
lOtte, but the fact that they were
soldiers had nothing to do with it.
Dr. Dixon, nominated for auditor,
was Il soldier of the Confederacy, also
of the Spanish-American war. Major
W. A. Graham, nominated for Com
missioner of Agriculture, was u Con-
federate soldier. But looking the
facts in the face, forty-three years
after the surrender Of Lee, can the
Confederate soldier expect much from
politics? The youngest OF them is
past sixty and is there much to be
expected at that age in the line of
public service? Who is he of the
Southland that does not love the
Confederate soldier? All of us delight
to honor him and it is no reflection
on our love for him that Il political
convention refuses to place him in
office. The people who criticisa Il
convention for falling to nominate
one would refuse to vote for the sol
der in spite of his being soldier and
| his criticism is not sincere. The
Confederate soldier who realizes his
age and the conditions around him
appreciates the fact that he need not
expect much from politics and that
little by way of public service is
| expected of him. The Confederate
veteran should not be forgotten or
neglected, and his failure to get po-
litical honors at this day is not evil
dence that he is losing his place in
the hearts of the people. The Con-
federate veteran has served his State
we'll and long and many of US yet
vote for the man with such a record
if other considerations are favorable,
but still the day has passed'for them
to expect much by way of politica
honors. Their service through near
fifty years of peace has been service
of great honor, but this is limited
and in acknowledging this fact nc
aisloyalty is evidenced. The days
for public service from the veteran
have about passed and in a few M ore
years there will be practically none
in public place, and the fact that the
Charlotte convention did not nOmi
nate all who applied is not to be
taken as reflection.

Time Enough to Cross Future
Bridges.
Reidsville Weekly.

Reidsvllle Weekly
The speculation INDUCED in by
some as to future contests between
Kitchin, Simmons and Aycock is idle.
The Democratic party and the State
not only have the highest apprecia-
ton of these three able leaders, but
of Locke Craig and Col. Horne as
we'll. and it will be time enough to
cross future bridges when we get to
them. The present duty is to keep
the State in the hands of the Demo-
cratic party which alone is capable
of giving North Carolina good gov
eminent, and we ha1e need OF Sim
mons. Aycock and all the other gen.
tlemen who preferred Craig to
kitchin.
The State convention did the right
thing in sending Senator Simmons
as a delegate to Denver, instructed
to vote for Bryan. He and Senator
Overman held the same position on
the expediency OF Bryan's nomina-
ton, and there could be no reason
for sending Overman and denying
q similar honor to Simmons. We
have too much faith in Mr.. Kitchin's
good Judgment to believe that he
had any sympathy with the effort to
humiliate Simmons.

The Democratic Ticket.

Atlanta constitution.
For president, William Jennings
Bryan. of Nebraska; for vice-presi-
dent, John W. Kern, Of Indiana.
ThiSfs the ticket the democratic
national convention has placed be-
fore he country for election.
In choOsin@ John W Kern for second
place, the convention expressed its
belief that Indiana is in the list of
doubtful states, with good prospects
of its going democratic.
The selection OF Mr.. Kern, which
was made unanimous by the retire
names had been placed before the
convention, furnishes gratifying evil
dence of IL purpose to bring together
The diverse interests OF the party.
Although in 1896 he was vigor-
Gus and persistent advocate and
admirer of the gold plank in the demo-
cratic platform, when the party de-
clared its faith in free silver, he acqui-
esced.
For twelve years he has been a
warm friend and ardent admirer of
Mr.. Bryan, and there is every reason
to believe they will make Il congen-
ial and forceful team.
Although his official career has
has been limited by his residence in a
republican state, Mr. Kern has re-
ceived the Endorsement of the demo-
cratic party in Indiana for the high
est office within the gift of the people.
In 1900 he was put forward as the
democratic candidate for governor,
and on one occasion he received the
complimentary vote of the democrats
III the legislature for the office OF
United States senator.
In View of the disaffection OF or
gained labor, there is promise of a
