THE REFLECTOR Greenville, N. G. I Editor and Proprietor. WEDNESDAY, mil at th- at N. as mail Matter. 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 per month, making per year, as long as the seignior- age of silver shall hold out, which will be years, and then to purchase silver at the mar- value and continue the coin and that too, at the present 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 we here they let 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 make a reckoning, and 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 and the Far- mer and tho populists generally, if they could only them- selves long enough to make an impartial investigation would and ought to say work, go Then does it not every Democrat to cease com plaining and stand by, with aid, the administration as 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 is to resign as Collector of the Western District Early last week President Cleveland again 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 credits of while assets 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- Theodore B- Lyman, Bishop of the Episcopal diocese, died very suddenly at his home in last Wednesday morn- of December, in hie 78th year. He was born in Boston, Mass- On lost Sunday week there were held at services in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of his con- as Assistant Bishop of the North Carolina Diocese of the Episcopal church- Mr. Cheshire, of Charlotte, who a few weeks ago was elected Assistant Bishop, will succeed him. A good man has gone to reap his everlasting reward. He was buried in 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 wants to make an assignment in North Carolina will find more stringent requirements than is now the case- A new law govern- assignments goes into effect on that date. It was passed by the last legislature and is known as act to prevent Upon the of a voluntary deed of trust, all debts of the maker thereof be- come due and are payable at once- The assignor will be required to file a verified schedule of prefer- red debts in the office of the tee must file a verified inventory in the office of the clerk within ten days. The clerk of the superior court is given jurisdiction to remove an insolvent trustee, under certain provisions. The assignee cannot sell any of property within ten days from the registration thereof, unless the property or some part thereof lie perishable. Every three months the tee must file with tho clerk a account of receipts and dis- and must file a final account within twelve months. Creditors must file a verified statement of their claims with the clerk. The creditor who knowingly swears falsely will be guilty of a misdemeanor and the trustee fail- to file an inventory will also be guilty of a misdemeanor. The clerks of courts are to receive the same fees for their services that are allowed by law upon in accounts and proceed- of and tors. Mills Item. Mills, H. C, Dec. 1893.

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.

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. Parmele Items N.

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 and hum in in this are they extravagant or wild flighted for several of our young men positions in the employ- the largest leaf dealers in the of trust and cured by men who were engaged in the tobacco business with their 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 the body of Dallas Stowe, the who was found hanging by a grape vine in the woods near town yesterday, his At this question, the audience fell back as if from a bomb that was about to explode. do yon mean by his jack asked one of the white men present why this and I will show said the doctor. He then felt into the pockets of the dead and brought out a tin box.

With it they their enemies, throw a spell over them, and the average holds the jack in mortal dread- To show you their fear of it, just offer any here a dollar to put this box in his The offer was made, but not one would touch it. Dr. Wilder brought the box to the city and tried the dark- on it, but not one of them could be induced to touch it. The doctor has hung the jack in his back yard, and says that his turkeys, chickens and woodpile are safe for the News. FREELY RENDERED. A Yearns Version a Noah and the Ark. In one of the churches of New York there is a department of the 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 He God wanted save Noe, whole family, and wicked people, every kill him die; rain Isn't This Worth Investigating CONVINCER NO.
