The ladies ere taking deep interest in the matter? end shot ere find it necessary to make an ?pp to them te aid io petitioning the rn chants/we have no doubt that the vi majority of them will affix their- ?igi tores.

W? will let oar neighbor kn< when we think the movement is ripe. OMINOUS ! . Twice within less than e week he the ropes been eot by which the e lee tr light? are raised and lowered. Last we< ea Tuesday night the circuit was brok* io twe places. On Monday, night lat the circuit was broken io fire place and it was impracticable at the la Hour at wo?ch it was done, to restore i Hence the city was in darkness from 1 o'clock anti! daylight the next mor oin j It is also ? matter that has eome b fore the City Connell, and is, therefor) pa- die property, that ? few nights ag< the water waa let ont of .the boili of the steam ire engine, and also ot cf the tank in the engine hou.<e, place there to supply water to the eogio This est was done by some one wt understood the machine, because tb stop-cock in the water guage was closet so that while the water ran oat of ti boiler ?he gouge indicated that it ws fall. Now there are three possible al terns fives as to the motives of those who ar engaged in this work, assuming that i is one and the same gang who are op* rating : First. Tbe motive of idle an thoughtless mischief. Second. Tb motive of malici?os mischief witbou soy ulterior design, ?nd third, tb motive of eo ulterior design, to wbici the extinguishing of the electric lights sod the disabling of the fire engine en intended to lead ap. These mott vet exhaust the category, Tbere are n< other conceivable motives rn the matter Take these in their or 1er. If tbe parties doing these deeds ar? actuated by toe aetive of idle*, thought less mischief, then they are to be sough! for among the boys of the city, whe often mistake such performances for fun. Or they are to be sought for ?moog those whom drink bas made frolicsome while depriving them of sense. Bet ;hc sufficient rebuttn i of this as a motive, lie? io thc fact that the guilty parties were cac ny enough not to ta wHk tile wires, bat confined their ting to the ropes, ia cutting which is DO danger. And the further that when so eut, the lamps fall an smashed,'thus entailing heavy lot the lessee of the system, shows tl was not thoughtless But malicious chief which prompted the cutting c tope*:' "If this be so, then the g parties are to be sought for among 1 who have a grudge against the lese some discharged workman, some whose enmity be has incurred, perhaps; the grudge may be aga i ns city, not the lessee, and io that tbe guilty partie- are probably j who have been arrested for drunken sod disorder, and made to pay a and are taking this method of get even with the city, thinking, doubt that as the city has to pay for the lig it probably has to pay ?iso for dam to them. We are inoiioed to think this is the more likely supposition several reasons. If, theo, the motive is malicious chief, and is directed against the < not aa individual, is there an alte desiga ia it, or does it stop at reve against the corporation? Upon ene fact we cannot teo stroi insist, whatever conclusion we r< with reference to these profoundly t gestive acts, and that is, the comp tively defenceless condition of the in the event of a large fire-all doe the absence of water-works. Shoub conflagration occur here of considers magnitude, the probabilities are th; great deal of insurance would be < celled, or the rates so advanced as t< practically prohibitory. Our ci tit should not thus s:eep over what is re; and confessedly a perpetual menace their property, a constant source anxiety to all, day and night. Woe fire is .discovered here, it is always s advanced, and the .house or block which it originates, \s invariably atroyed. With adequate water faoiliti this would not be so, certaini y cot ways, and for a scfficieot water supp and an efficient fire department, should ail -bend our united eoergi O LEVEL AND IN '92. - It looks that way now, and aoy< has good reasons for believing tl Grover -Cleveland will be . the stand* bearer of the Democratic patty io I next campaign. . . Io the event of Can \ bell's election tr *he governorship Ohio ooi November 4th, he would ha had a strong claim to the Democra nomination as aa available candida as be would have bad the pres ti : of having twice carried a strong rept I Hean state. Bot instead of victoi . Campbell met ao overwhelming defe; and.he. is removed from the Hst Democratic Presidential possibility So with Pattison of Pennsylvania, w though not a candidate himself at t recent ?lection, was removed as a pos biiity by the Democratic defeat io 1 State.. Peus8ylvania bas demoostrat more conclusively than ever that she safely republican, hence it would folly to nominate a mao from that Sta on the national ticket These two possibilities being i moved, the consensus of opinion of t most astute politicians, of all partie and of other men who give attention matters governmental, ir? that Cievelai will be the inevitable choice of t Democracy, if present conditions co tinoe ; and that either Russell, of Ma?i ehusetta, or Boies, of Iowa will be ti choice for the second place. While \ must confess to a great admiration Gov. Russell, aod would be pleased see bim Vice-President^ of the Uniti States, still we believe it would be una ? vbable to nominate him for that poe tioo in view of the great prejudi existing against the East io the minde the farming elf meet of the South at West, which prejudice is being indu triousiy fermented by camerons sel seeking demagogues. It is true that sue feeling is wholly unreasonable, bi prejudice was ever so ; and there little room for hope that the prrj adie may be reasooed away before the ele, tioo takes place. Therefore at preset it would appear that Cleveland an B iles will be the Domin?es of the Derne eratic party. Cleveland made thc best President w have had since tbe war, his administra tioo was roo on a strict business basis civil service reform was one of tb issues of the campaign, and after hi election be remembered his plrdges an set an example that Harrison bas sig nally failed to follow. Cleveland's entir honesty bas never been impeached, an oo the tariff question he is in per fee accord with the party. The only objection that anyone ha ever made to Cleveland ie his positioi oo the silver questiou, which we do on view in tho light of a fault, but rathe of a virtue. The idea of allowing th man who happens to own a silver min* to have his H Iver coined by the govern meut, thos making each 73 cents wort! of bis silver legal tender for al) debts ai 100 cent.?, is not fair or ju>t to those o us who do not happeo to own a silvei mine. It is as right for the government to coin 73 cents of silver, making it t tender for 100 cents, as it is for it tr print a piece of paper worth a few eeutt and make it legal tender for five, ten oi five hundred dollars, but to allow a select class of private parties this right is uot justice. Cleveland io '92, on a platform oi hooesty aod economy in ail branches of the government, sod tba repeal of the present tariff, will give the Democracy a most excellent ehance for victory. - <?m ??-? - The Carneen Chronicle bas changed hands, i M'SB'-st ClMik and Vittrpigue have bought ; oui C ark atd McDowell. A Card From School Commissioner Green. To the Public: p. The undersigned begs kartoo say to the public that he had boped ere this that the set? tlement between the Comptroller General and our county officials would have been com? pleted, so that be could be in a better position to answer the rumor reported about three weeks ago about trouble in bis books. So far said settlement bas not been completed. I desire cow to state that Mr. Ellerbe and Mr. Manfield in the presence of Capt. P. P. Guil? lara," Captain D. E. Keels and Mr. Peter Tito ans exa mired my book?-on the 6th day of October, i 8913 to. their satisfaction and re? ported .them lo jae as corr cc: and made same report to^ot?^ers. I have never denied the irregularity in a certain schooT claim in favor of Mr.. Scarborough. In fact such irregu? larity was called to the attention of Messrs BUerbeand Marfield by myself on- the "8th of October, as Messrs. Gaillard, Keels, Thomas and Maj. Barrows will, testify. After ex? amining into the irregularity referred to, Mr. Mayfield agreed witt? me that I was legally bonnd to Mr. Scarborough to the amount of the check, andi forthwith indemnified Mr. Scarborough. If the public is not satisfied with the inspec? tion ol my books and vouchers by two com? p?tent gentlemen who are sworn to do their duty in the premises, then I can only invite an inspection by any individual or committee of citizens. Will be glad to serve them at any time. Hereafter I will notice any charge against me as a public officer,: but under no circumstances will I notice rumor? of charges, the author orax thors of which . cannot . be found/ Respectfully, JNO.
