CEASE CRITICIZING THE AD- 
MINISTRATION. 
It occurs to us that there 
been some very foolish talk 
reference to the present 
during the past six or 
eight months. This was expected 
from had formerly been 
associated with the Democratic 
party bust who left it before the 
last election- These were not 
expected to be pleased. Some 
disappointed office seekers could 
reasonably be added to this 
but it is not specially to these 
that we refer in this article- 
Prominent Democrats and a 
large part of the Democratic press 
have not been much slower to 
condemn and criticize almost 
every act of the administration 
than the ones re- 
to above. We are not of 
those who believe that a party 
should sit silent and swallow 
everything that its leaders may 
dictate whether wise or unwise, 
and even give the approving 
Neither do we believe that every 
and every paper should 
himself or itself the 
duty of deciding what is wise or 
unwise, what should be done 
what should not be done, how 
everything shall done, and 
how it should not be done, and 
express with a presumption that 
is appalling its approval or dis- 
approval of this measure or that. 
And yet just such a spectacle we 
have witnessed almost daily since 
last March- If one wanted to know 
how many Solomons there are 
in the United States he would 
only have to note these criticisms 
and mark the men 
they be citizens or journalists. 
They harp about the platform 
and its demands, the failure of 
the administration to them; 
they cry false to the trusts com- 
to them, Democratic 
party ruined and justly so, and a 
thousand other equally foolish 
expressions. All this because 
everything has not been done in 
a day and just as they wanted it 
to be done. It seems to us that 
Democrats ought to have more 
sense than to guilty cf such 
conduct- They ought to reflect 
that if Democratic party is 
injured that they above all others 
are responsible for this injury. 
and they ought to hide their 
heads in shame or get out of 
party. 
Lets take a brief review of what 
the party in convention Chi- 
demanded and what has 
been done towards its accomplish 
and if there is one 
single step of ground for 
Let us keep min X, too. 
that the administration has only- 
had control a little over nine 
months, and that Congress ac- 
cording to the usual role of meet. 
is only a little over two weeks 
old. 
The principal demands of the 
platform are as follows The re- 
peal of the Sherman law, the 
of the ten per cent tax on 
State banks, a graduated income 
tax, the repeal of the Federal 
election law, the reduction of the 
tariff, and the coinage of both 
silver and gold without the dis- 
of either. These are 
about all of the demands 
which there is much interest. 
Now in the usual course of 
we cannot say that there has 
been but a little two 
of time to do these things, as they 
are all matters of legislative en- 
If President Cleveland 
called an extra session of Con- 
and they accomplished any 
of these things or hastened the 
time when they will be realities 
and not demands, then it was 
an act of wisdom if the demands 
are wise, and the President can 
only be and to com- 
mended for this. 
Now what are the facts in the 
case- Lets state them and see 
whether or not every Democrat 
and Democratic journal ought not 
to clap their hands and say well 
done, faithful servants, go ahead, 
we are with yon. 
Sherman law has been 
repealed. It is a dead letter. 
This gives us one demand as ac- 
no 
repeal was demanded. 
It was its repeal, and it has been 
repealed. A bill has been report- 
ed and has the support of the ad- 
ministration to repeal the ten per 
cent tax on State banks, and one 
that ought to satisfactory to 
every one- The income tax is a 
fixed fact with administrative fa 
A bill has already passed the 
House for the repeal of the led 
election law and has been re- j 
ported favorably by 
The tariff bill i MOW 
ready to report and one which 
so favorable to the South the 
i Republicans denominate it a 
i Southern bill. And last, but not 
least, even when Democrats are 
howling that silver has been 
done away with a moneyed 
metal, Mr. introduced a 
bill to coin 2.000,000 of silver

will be years, and then 
to purchase silver at the mar- 
value and continue the coin

ratio; and also to retire all gold 
of smaller denomination 
than ten dollars. Yet some of 
these little Solomons are ready 
to say But how about Cleve- 
land, he will veto this ; this is all

about all the they 
have of Government. Is it not a 
wonder when all this information 
into the world that they give, 
that the whole old earth don't 
blossom into an Eden instantly I 
The has just this to 
say reference to the bill being 
an administration measure. The 
same man who led the fight in 
unconditional repeal introduces 
it. He was the administration's 
leader there- There has been 
nothing to cause a change- He 
is the chairman of the Finance 
Committee in the Senate. 
It is in with the 
he expressed time and again 
the and arduous 
for unconditional repeal. 
He has been and is in daily con 
tact with administration and is 
presumed as its leader to 
its sentiment 
Now with this review of what was 
to be done and what has boon ac- 
how stands tho case 
Was ever a better showing 
made by any party under tho 
sun Not a year elapsed, and as 
far as could have boon 
at the last election just a little 
over two weeks of legislation, and 
yet every- one of the measures, 
with possibly the of one, 
reported upon, some passed, all 
of them headway to 
be accomplished in a short time. 
We do say it is time for Demo- 
to call a halt in their

if everything has not been 
done that could have been done 
in this apace of time. We for one 
have confidence in President 
and tho Democratic 
party as led by him. We shall 
be slow to denounce their acts. 
Mr. Cleveland is wise and strictly 
honest, and nothing but lasting 
good can result from his 
We think even the

mer and tho populists generally, 
if they could only them- 
selves long enough to make an 
impartial investigation would and

Then does it not 
every Democrat to cease com

long as it is does as it has done 
so far, stand square upon the 
needs and demands of the people 
as expressed at the ballot box in 
1892. 
THE GOVERNOR IS WRONG. 
The correspondent of 
the Charlotte says that 
in tho future no news as to par 
dons of convicts, etc., will be 
given out at tho executive de- 
Governor Carr says 
the law requires that this 
shall be given the 
with the cause of 
etc. Ho says he sees 
no reason why, when a convict is 
pardoned, notice should be given 
all over tho State that he is a 
criminal ; but that punishment 
should cease when the pardon is 
issued and tho man given a 
to something of 
The Observer makes the follow- 
very sensible comment on this 
decision of the 
Governor Carr's new regulation, 
not to give out news about par- 
dons extended to penitentiary 
convicts, is rather extraordinary, 
and his reason for the regulation 
-stranger still- To give notice, he 
says, of a pardon, is to advertise 
the man pardoned as a criminal. 
The answer to this is that all of 
acquaintances knew this 
already, and if he returned home 
they will know of his pardon- If 
he does not, it will help him some 
what neighborhood opinion to 
know that reason had been 
the extension of executive 
clemency. But above and beyond 
all this is the fact that the official 
acts of public servants constitute 
news to which tho public is en- 
titled and tho withholding of it 
except for public reasons is not 
good public policy. We suspect 
tho true reason for the new 
order of things is to be found in 
the fact that the Governor has 
been criticized tor the too free 
exercise- of the pardoning power 
and has sensitive, and 
that ho poses to stop criticism 
by withholding the information 
upon which it is based If this is 
I fact, his course is unworthy of 
him as a man of moral courage. 
When he is given good reasons 
why a convict should be pardon- 
ed, he should pardon him and 
give the news to the press if it 
wants it. Bight, like truth, 
should no foe and shun no 
It was not so that Elias

sent his name to the Senate and 
that body is now expected to 
confirm the appointment- 
The Charlotte Observer was the 
only morning daily that 
reached here by the noon mail 
Monday, the Wilmington, 
and Richmond papers for Sunday 
not getting in Monday night 
The Observer for Saturday did not 
come in Tuesday morning, 
however. Nice mails. 
That sprightly sheet, the Daily 
Review, of Wilmington, entered 
upon its eighteenth year last 
Wednesday and Editor James 
took his force down to Wrights 
ville and they all enjoyed an old 
fashioned oyster roast- The Re- 
view is a credit to Wilmington 
and they should feel proud of it. 
It is a good local paper and we 
wish it much success. 
The Henderson Gold Leaf is 
twelve years old. It begins the 
new volume by making no new 
promises. W ell, it don't need to 
make any, for the Leaf is 
one of those papers that labors 
earnestly at all times for its town 
and for North Carolina, and its 
past speaks for what it will do in 
future. The wishes 
the new year may bring editor 
Manning the success he deserves. 
Among the largest failures ever 
occurring in the State was that of 
Mr- B- L. Duke, of Durham, last 
Wednesday. His liabilities are 
placed at with preferred

are claimed approximating 
Mr. Duke was a heavy spec- 
and is said to have recently 
lost half a million dollars in cot- 
ton futures. Two other assign- 
have followed as a result 
of this one-

twentieth anniversary of his con-

the North Carolina Diocese of the

good man has gone to reap his 
everlasting reward. He was

WASHINGTON LETTER. 
our Regular 
Washington. D. C, Dec. 
President Cleveland, having 
exhausted the constitutional 
at his command to right 
what he considered a great 
in Hawaii in the name 
of by the power of the United 
States, will now, after having fur- 
all information in his 
possession, leave it to Congress 
to say what, if anything further, 
shall be done- He makes no 
for what he has done, know- 
he has not violated the 
authority vested in him by the 
Constitution and believing now as 
he did at the time of Minister 
departure from the United 
States that what he did was an 
act of justice from a strong to a 
week nation. 
Senator Vest unmercifully scored 
ex-Minister Stevens and the New 
Englanders who instigated the 
Hawaiian revolution, in n short 
speech, replying to one made by 
Senator Frye eulogizing the 
Christian qualities of Mr. Stevens. 
He made a palpable hit and 
ed a hearty laugh when he 
ed that the New England 
of Hawaii had Chris- 
the natives out of their 
country, taking possession cf it 
under the name of God, and then 
dividing the lands among them- 
selves under a law made by them- 
selves; and he stated a great 
truth, manifest to all men, when 
he said that it was the policy of 
the republicans to have, instead 
of the compact continental re- 
public established by the fathers, 
a great, expansive territory-ac 
quiring government extending 
to the islands of the ocean, and to 
the uttermost parts of the earth. 
Mr. Vest believes that the true 
policy of the United States in 
Hawaii and all other foreign 
countries is off. 
Senators have been 
giving Senator Hill as much 
trouble as they possibly could in 
getting the bill for the repeal of 
the Federal election laws before 
the Senate, they are finding 
that Senate Hill is no slouch of 
a fighter himself. 
can assure the 
said Mr. Hill, of New York, to 
Mr. of that the 
democratic party does intend to 
carry out the tariff promises of its 
national platform faithfully, hon- 
and Nothing 
bombastic about those plain 
words modestly spoken in reply 
to Senator sneers and 
half-spoken taunts about the 
party being afraid of its platform 
declarations on the tariff, but they 
have destroyed some very 
constructed stories intended 
to cheer the protectionists, in 
which Senator Hill invariably 
as the leader of the demo- 
wing of the protection army. 
The tact that there is no such 
wing has not worried the 
of these romances; they 
would not a fact if 
they met it in the road, and they 
would not thank anybody to in- 
them to one- 
Congressman Morse, of 
possesses, in a 
degree, that faculty which 
once a time, according to 
the tale, caused the monkey to 
attempt to investigate a buzz saw 
in motion- He again assumed 
the role of monkey this week, to 
the buzz saw of Delegate 
of Utah. After being 
fully held up to the ridicule of 
the by Morse 
had to acknowledge that his op- 
position to the bill for the 
of Utah as a States, which 
was passed by the House, was 
based entirely upon a book writ- 
ten by Brigham Young's fifteenth 
wife. What would be thought 
of a lawyer who would make 
Tom's the corner- 
stone of a case to be tried in the 
courts of the present time Just 
about same that is thought of 
Morse now. 
Chairman Wilson proved his 
earnestness in pushing the tariff 
bill by making very unusual 
proposition to his colleagues 
that the Christmas recess be not 
taken this year, in order that the 
time which has been unavoidably 
lost in getting the before the 
House might be made While 
the proposition has been received 
with considerable favor the 
of keeping a quorum here 
the certainty that the 
would allow nothing to be 
done without one makes it 
probable that it will be carried 
out- It is no fault of the Demo- 
members of the Ways and 
Means committee that the bill is 
is not now before the House; 
they have worked night and day 
to overcome the obstacles 
have confronted them- In 
to the written request of a 
considerable number of Demo- 
Representative 
chairman of the caucus, will call 
a caucus to consider the bill be- 
fore the debate begins in the 
House- 
NEW LAW ON ASSIGNMENTS. 
After January the party who

as act to prevent

we are going to depart from that rule

If all predictions of a severe winter 
come true, it is not improbable that 
more charity work will be necessary. 
In view of this it strikes us that better 
plans than have heretofore existed 
should be adopted for distributing aid 
those who should receive it. 
, The committee having charge of this 
matter here last winter did best they 
could under the circumstances, but all 
are aware that they ware badly Imposed 
upon. This may be avoided if proper 
organization is effected in advance 
whereby any applications for relief 
may personal Investigation. 
We see that relief committees in other 
towns are getting together and formula- 
ting plans in case this work is needed, 
It might do well for a similar meet- 
to be held here.

Estimates of the Cotton Crop. 
From Latham Alexander Co., of 
New York, we have received a 
dated Dec 14th, showing their estimate 
of the cotton crop of United States for 
the present season, 1893-94. They wrote 
1,655 letters to various cotton growing 
suites and from responses to these the 
estimated yield of States 
bales. 
From 1,410 letters it was estimated 
that per cent of the crop, 
bales, is yet on plantations, the crop 
marketed to was 4,308.000 bales, 
and the number of bales in small towns, 
railway stations and public gins was 
placed at making a total by this 
estimate of bales. 
Then an additional estimate was made 
based upon general Information which 
placed the total crop at bales. 
Taking an average of these three 
mates obtained from different sources 
of information puts the total crop at 
bales. We believe these fig- 
may be accepted as very nearly 
accurate.

Carolina, sold on the floor of 
the Eastern warehouse a few 
days ago, pound of the 
brightest pickings of his crop for 
the neat sum of two hundred and 
thirty five dollars and sixty seven 
cents. This of course was the 
most choice selection of bright 
wrappers out of his and 
these prices can't be obtained 
every day even for fine tobacco, 
but it is a daily occurrence that 
wrappers on our market bring 
from to per hundred. 
There are several new buyers 
on our market. Mr. Reeves, of 
Danville Va., one of the most 
clever and pleasant gentlemen 
that we have ever met, came in 
last week to spend some time with 
us. The next train brought 
Messrs. Carter and Norwood, from 
South Boston, Va-, who have 
come to locate in Greenville. 
It only requires a shake of the 
hand of those two young men to 
impress one with their big heart- 
Mr. Carter 
no question 
about it, somebody has got to 
build him a factory before next 
And somebody has. 
A very noticeable feature of 
our tobacco buyers is their youth- 
appearance. Nearly all of 
them wear faces and look 
more like school boys than 
co buyers of sound and mature 
but on the warehouse 
floors they make tobacco get up

father. This is the kind of ma- 
that it takes to not only 
make a tobacco market to put 
the universal wheels of progress 
in motion and keep them moving 
on to the heights of success. 
Mr. E- W. who was so 
well known on the market last 
year as one of its leading buyers 
is now drumming Eastern North 
Carolina in the interest of Shel- 
warehouse, Richmond. 
We have heard Mr. Royster 
the past of use very strong 
argument against the 
of the farmer's tobacco to the 
city of Richmond and a few other 
large markets. A change of 
ion in matters of business and 
matters, politic is oftentimes 
deemed an act of wisdom, but 
when the true inwardness of the 
cause of Mr- Royster changing 
his so suddenly is learned by the 
patrons of the Greenville market, 
then his strongest argument 
against the concentration of to- 
to one or two markets will 
have been used. 
One of the first questions asked 
by county physician Wilder when

brought out a tin box. He open-

a snake head, a scorpion, a piece 
of iron, a rusty key, a bunch of

salt said the doctor,

them, and the average

offer was made, but not one would 
touch it. Dr. Wilder brought the 
box to the city and tried the dark-

his back yard, and says that his

In one of the churches of New

Sunday school In which Chinese 
pupils are taught. Among them Is 
a bright fellow named Sam Sing. 
On a recent Sunday, says the 
American Missionary, the lesson 
was about the flood In the days of 
Noah. 
The teacher explained the lesson 
somewhat fully, and then called 
upon Sam Sing to tell the story of 
the flood In his own words. The 
Chinaman's version, as taken down 
in shorthand by the teacher, was as 
he good man, and got three 
son, and son got wife, that mean 
eight, eight good man. He God 
know him good, and God tell him to 
make a boat, and him, Noe, wife and 
whole family go in de boat, and get 
some meal and fruit, and all fruit 
all kind good for eat, and put all 
cattle and horse, chicken, 
all same kind of life, all put it in 
there. 
soon the flood come, 
and has all people die, and just as 
say rain forty day and forty night, 
and then say to Noe, whole family 
and all, live. All bad people all die, 
every one, cut him up. The rain 
come because Noe he good man, and

Greenville, 
The election in North Carolina 
next November will be a most 
important one. Successors must 
be elected to succeed Chief 
Shepherd, Associate Justices 
Clark, and Burwell, who 
were appointed or elected to 
expired terms. Lawyers must 
also be elected to succeed Judge 
Whitaker, Judge Shuford, Judge 
Bynum and Judge Battle, of the 
Superior court bench. The 
will determine the complex- 
ion of the Supreme court bench, 
and is, therefore, of the highest 
importance- 
Nine members of Congress are 
to be elected, State Senators, 
and members of the North 
Carolina of 
These Senators and Re- 
are to elect a United 
State Senator to succeed Hon. 
M. W- and a 
Commissioner to succeed Capt. 
T. W. Mason. The future of 
these two sons of Northampton 
will therefore, he largely effected 
by the result of next November's 
election. In addition to the above 
every county officer in the State 
is to be chosen. 
The time not yet come for 
opening the campaign, but it is 
apparent that 1894 will be one of 
the hottest political years in the 
history of the 
Carolinian.
