Shelby is a beautiful town of three thousand inhabitants, protected by Icjcal option from the liquor traffic. No town in the state can boast of finer cli mate, and all other natural advantages. Itiis entirely free from malarial influences and by its recent railroad advantages isl eminently nttea to neconie an eaucauon-i at centre.

The fact that Mr. John K. Cowan, who has achieved some notoriety as a Democratic reformer who has come to the support of i the ticket recently nominated by the Maryland Repub- icans, is chief counsel to the Balti more Ohio Railroad Company may exnlaih the ideal purity that chary acterizes the movement.

The people of Maryland desire a constitutional convention, which is provided for by the present constitution. The Balt: more Ohio Railroad Company does not desire a new constitution, because, under the one, it is almost totally protected from taxation. The Democratic party has declared for the convention, or rather for submitting the question to the people, so the Re publican party, having no ottier chance of success, has sold out to the Baltimore Ohio Railroad Company and the latter has bought it because it was the only. party on the market. And this explains why the spotless Mr.

Cowan could no longer stay in the Maryland Democracy because it had grown so wicked, but had to affiliate with the Republicans. A "LAUUft" HVHBIIU. Mr. John Nichols, the recently suc cessful "Labor" candidate for Congress from the Fourth District of North Carolina, has stirred up about his ars hornets' nest which ought to drive him from public life forever. A short while ago, it will be remembered, Mr.

Nichols, as his first official act, ap pointed his own son to a cadetship to tho United States Naval Academy without the trouble of a competitive examination. We should have considered this in most Congressmen a comparatively venial offence, although the Raleigh Chronicle says it is a rong which the people have condoned only in men of brains and oharacter, neither of which distinguishes Mr. Nichols. But in this case the offence was with out justification or excuse. Mr.

Nichols was avowedly the "workingmen's" candidate for Congress, and his whole canvass was based-upon opposition to class privilege of every sort. He even went out of his way to attack the her editary principle and every kind of inequality under the law- For such a-man to appoint his own son to a place under the government that savors more of privilege than any other, and without affording the sons of other men, especially those laboring constituents of his thQ chance now almost invariably given by Congressmen of every party was more than inconsistency. It was a demonstration of the rank hypocrisy and venal selfishness thatn have characterized the man's whole, public career, Upon this appointment the Raleigh Chronicle commented in terms that were severe, but that dealt exclusively with Mr. Nichols's public capacity. Mr.

Nichols, through the Republican papers of the state, replied, with a weak defence of himself, upon the grounds that the appointment belonged to him and he could do what be pleased with it, and that Democrats had done the same thing. This he followed up with a most outrageous attack upon Mr. Daniels's father and mother, and a charge that Mr. Daniels had been elected state printer by a deal, with the Independents. I This week Mr.

Daniels completely demolishes the "Labor" Congressman. He calls his attention to the fact that public office is a public trust, and that John Nichols is the last man in North Carolina, elected, as he was, as the pretentious and I pretended friend of the who should have appointed his own son to office. Of his own father and mother, no defence was needed, but Mr. Daniels makes one full and complete and, concerning his own alleged trade with the IndependentsMil Daniels declares and every man who knows him will believe him that no word was said to Speaker Webster or to any one else that he would object to seeing in print, that no promises were made, and that Speaker Webster knew that be would not accept the public printing except as the nominee of the Democratic caucus. He further says "If John Nichols says that the editor of this paper made any deal, or any unworthy or dishonorable combination with the Independents or the Republicans, or anybody, to secure the public printing contract, HE If any other man says so, HE lies.

These are plain words, but they are used; with a full knowledge of their meaning." Mr. Daniels makes against Mr. Nichols two charges that, unless they can be disproved-pand the evidence to sup port at least one of them is very strong should end Nichols' public careei. On the sworn; statement of W. E.

Pell, formerly steward for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind, it is declared that when Nichols was principal of that institu tion he, without compensation there for, furnished his family with supplies bought for the institution. Suit was brought against Nichols for the amount and his only defence has been to plead a discharge In bankruptcy. For ten years ho has rested under this imputa tion and has made no. effort to secure exoneration, Still a worse charge is that, while occupying the same position, he bor rowed the sum of $200 from J. Q.

Holt, a deaf and dumb employee of the in stitution, who worked for a salary of $25 per month that Holt, on his death bed, charged Nichols with swindling him out of the money, and that the poor man died witbnothing to leave to a dependent and helpless family, his widow being, like himself, deaf and dumb. Only recently has a small portion of the money been paid to the widow, in spite of the fact that Nichols has all along been in the receipt of a good salaiy. What a sickening commentary is this upon the character of a man who has set himself up as the especial cham- THE NEW'ERA. Published Every Wednesday, 1 -At- SHELBY, N. O.

Some of them, bow- ever, certainly will be and Rutherford ton Rhows good sense in trying to get what she can. There can be no doubt that the old town is awake. It is to be hoped that Mr.

Johu A Coekerill, now managing editor of the World, and soon to fill the same posi tion on the Herald, will not carry to his new paper the methods of the one. he is to leave- Mr. Coekerill is unques tionably one of the ablest men in journalism. Self made and self educated, he is not only brilliant but naturally decent. Of course, the minaprine editor does not control the policy of a paper.

He only modifies it So we hope that it wi'I transpire that the indecencies and dishonesty that characterize the World have been due to Mr. Pulitzer, the owner, and not to Mr. Coekerill," the managing editor, A partial proof of this will' be the character of the Herald under the new management. The silliest of all arguments in fa vor of a repeal of the internal revenue tax is to call it a "war" tax. As i the present tariff were not also a "war tax and as if the public debt, including the pensions, were not a "war" and hence one Very properly to be paid by a "war" tax.

the tax on whiskey and tobacco be a "war' tax and this particular justification for its continuance did not exist, what has that-to do with the case Just hrmf a much as the flowers that tlom in the spring. The only que ion for reasonable people to examine when considering reduction, is which tax ithe less evil. For our part, we prefer cheap blankets and clothing and tools to cheap whiskey, tobacco and snuff. We are glad that work upon the surveys for tte Southern and Western Air Line has been begun under the supervision of so experienced and ac eomplished an engineer at Major Wil 'son. His ability and strong interest in the success of the 'road, over iand above his official, connection with it will insure ejrery effort being made for the adoption of the best line.

It is, to a- citizen of Cleveland still more gratifying to know that an honest effort will be made to comply with the terms of the subscription that the roadshould be built from Shelby in the diiection of Cranberry as nearly as practicable through the centre of the county. What this means need not now be discussed Every man in the county understands it and knows the circumstances under which it was framed Major Wilson' assurances that he will endeavor, in good faith, to secure the most practi cable route running, nearest through the centre of the county and that he will try to satisfy all the reasonable people of the county with his determi nation should he satisfactory. The Republicans of New York have' been congratulating themselves iupon the fact that in the coming election they would present a comparatively solid front, while the Democratic columns would be seriously broken by the so-called labor revolt. The scene, however, is beginning to change. There has been so much revolting from the labor revolt that there is not much of a revolt left.

First, the Socialists were kicked out of the party to catch the farmers who will not be caught and now the candidate for State Engineer declines to run. Ou the other hand, a spectre has risen in the Republican path that will not down. The Prohibitionists have recently been as- sembled in the largest and most respectable convention'they ever held ia New Qork. While they attack both JiFti-cal parties opposed to prohlpion, they vehemently denounce the Eer-nb-licn party for hypocrisy, as-; well. Now these Prohibitionists are a more respectable crowd than the George men and, what hurts worse, me for taking a retrospective view of the travels of our earlier President; Mr.

Monroe was the first of them to carry out the idea of a trip of this kind traveling in his coach through New Englaud and as far westward as Ohio and being every where cordially; re- il fnr his time it was auita a vv tedious undertaking. President Jack imi trv1ffl hv c.arriasre all the way from Tennessee to the Capital, and lati-r, in the same conveyance, made a tour of New England, which, to the sui prise of his political opponents, who supposed it was an element of weak ness, was a continuous ovation, adding greatly to his popularity.

Death, though, is not idle; it has felled a giant of the world of science in the person of Professor Spencer F. Baird, of th world renowned Smithsonian Institution, and the founder of the United States Fish Commission. Professor Baird, though a finished scholar, was a constant student, his superb mind delving daily into the rich and mysterious stories of science.

But it is the common people who owe the dead scientist the greatest debt of gratitude, for they are indebted to him for the vast culture of fish that has so decreased the price of that wholesome food. The amount of trade-dollars redeemed to date is about $7,400,000. The time expires by limitation on Sept 3d and it is supposed most of their coin is now in the treasury vaults; there is some excess ovei the arjouut estimated to be out, which is accounted for by importation from foreign countries. This week the treasury paid out sixteen and a quarter millions for peusions. but, notwithstanding this heavy excess of government receipts oyer expenditures this month is about three and a half million dollars.

JIl'ISAIMK. The Grand Army of the Republic, having passed the merely unseemly stage, is rapidly a disturbing element in the otherwise friendly relations between the sections and disgrace to the army of whose veterans it claims to consist. Last Friday there was a parade of a number of posts that had assembled tol hold a re-union at Wheeling, West jVirginia. Across a street in front the office of the Register, the leading newspaper in West Virginia, was hung a banner bearing a portrait of President Cleveland anil an inscription alluding to him as the commander in chief of the army andj navy of the United States. When the procession reached this point, the flags iu the line, at the bidding of the offic ers in command, were lowered and the men marched in the gutters and on the sidewalks to avoid passing under the shadow of the banner.

If people, especially those who pro fessed to be veteran should act in this manner in any despotic leaders would be hung or shot as traitors and condign punish ment would be visited upon the rest mat this is a tree country, the mem bers of the Grand Army should eon gratulate themselves but they no less deserve the contempt of every citizen who has a regard for decency and for the constituted authorities of the re public, whatever may be his political convictions or his opinion of any or all of the official acts of the administration or of the personal character of the President. The man who openly and grossly insults jthe President of the United States insults every citizen thereof. When such' conduct comes from men- who boast of their own loyalty as being of a higher and superior quality-to that of everybody eise, it snouio aeoase tnem in the eyes of every decent man. When it is remembered that the motive that inspired that conduct is rage at being defeated in a contemplated raid upon the public treasury, the impotent passion of these; men becomes infinin-rtely disgusting. It is to the credit of the Pittsburg post that when they saw the action of their fellows, they raised their banners high in the air and marched iproudly, with bared heads, under the portrait of Cleveland.

Members of other posts threw away their badges and left the ranks of their unworthy comrades. Another disagreeable feature of the re-union was the manner in which Gov. Foraker, of Ohio, talked about 'rebels" and the "rebellion." This was so marked! that Gov. Wilson, of West declaring himself as good a Union man as lives, felt called upon, while he was speaking in an interval of a serenade, to call attention to the fact that the war had been over a good many years and to protest against the spirit of Foraker's remarks. Upon, this a hot debate and a scene of wild' excitement followed.

Perhaps it would have been in better taste for Gov. Wilson to have said nothing, yet, as it is stated that it was insisted that he should speak, it is hard to see how a young, impulsive man like boiling over with in dignation, could have spoken otherwise. The whole affair was discreditable to the -Grand Army of the Republic Yet, perhaps it is not unfortunate that it occurred. If the Grand Array is to become the instrument of those who would revive sectional hatred, it is well that the country should in unmistakable terms be made aware of the fact. too Nooar.

A tender spirit, free from blame, And lit with an angelic smile. Ah, me that smiles so sweet should fade From lips that in the grave are laid. She was so young, the light intense That seemed to guard her from her birth Spoke out of stainless innocence, And purity too great for earth. Ah, me that light so pure should fade From eyes that in the grave are laid. And then she left us, as a bark White-winged sinks dimly from our sight, Or as some sweet song-burdened lark Soars upward to the realms oflight.

Had the tempestuous Tuttle been able to foresee these results of his blatant utte rings, he surely would have desisted, and such popular tributes would perhaps never have been paid to the Chief Magistrate of the nation.
