Of course all Democrats rejoice in the result, and we think we make no mistake when we say that numbers of honest white men, who are not members of the Democratic party rejoice withus. The ignorant and vicious negro is climinated from politics. The Democratic party and the white men of North Caroli na mean no harm to the negro. Left alone, the white man and the neyro live in peace and harmony, but led and influenced by mean and unscru pulous shite men. trouble alweys arises. The ballot has been corrupt- ed long enough in North Carolina by this ignorant therefore the white men swore that they would not have it longer and right nobly did they do their work. yote, * * * Weure ylad that some of our work has been appreciated by our centemporaries, but would have been still more rejoiced if they had had the kindness to yive us credit for it. After *Governor’’ Aycock spoke in Statesville we vave a re port of his speech in the next issue of this paper. We priced ourself on its accuracy and completeness. One of our contemporaries in an- other county took this report word for word, as Aycock’s speech in thar county, but said net one word as to where they got the report In our last issue before the election, we wrote a lengthy editorial calling up- on white mento do what we con- ceived to be their duty. This a dai- ly paper in another county, publish- ed as their leading: editorial the day before elestion. No mention was made as tothe editorial not being itsown production. We have no fault to tind with our brethren, the stutfis not worth that, but we sim- ply catl attention to this matter,and say :h.t it would have been better tu have civen credit for the borrow ed material. > * * It was our purpose to give a table last week showing the vcte in Ire- dell county for the amendment,Gov- ernor, and county officers. As we went to press early Friday morning, we could not get reports from two or three of the more remote town- ships and so the table was not com- plete. We give this week the tabu- lated vote of Iredell county as com- piled from the official returns, after being canvassed by the county board. The table is correct,ard we would advise that our subscribers file this copy of the paper away for reference in future campaigns. As shown by the table, the legislative ticket led, Armfield for the Senate receiving the greatest majority. The ameadment ran bebind the ticket,as it did in most of the counties. This was to be expected as there are al- ways numbers of honest, conserva- tive men that are fearful of achanve. We are sure, though, that all will live to see that this is the greatest step forward that North Carolina has made in recent years, cd * * The one thing that will result from the election on last Thursday for which the white men in North Carolina are especially grateful, is the politcal death of Marion Butler. Intelligent, shrewd and brainy, but mean, low, vindictive, unscrupu- lous and absolutely devoid of prin- ciple, he bas prostituted his intel- lect and power for his own political preferment. Rising from obscurity by hisown efforts, he entered the United States Senate at the mini- mum age allowed by tne constitu- tion, by carrying forty thousand honest men into the camps of the fusion army. Two years before, after having beena member of the State convention which nominated Elias Carr, he bolted and had _ his }forces to nominate a man for Gover- nor. The purpose of this was sim- ply to get them trained and drilled so that two years later when he should give the command to ‘*For ward March’ into the camp of the Republicans, they would not break ranks. He seized the opportunity caused by the depression in the mar- kets, and made the most of it. Hon- est men, members of the Farmer’s Alliance, were deceived Ly the wily politician. Gradually, one by one they have left him and today he stands practically without any Pop- ulist following, a member of the Repubiican party. After six years inthe Senate be will retire next March, the most cordially hated man in North Caroliua. This is not because he belongs to another party, for there are men in the Republican party that are held in the highest esteem by the Democrats. A man that stands on principle is always respected, but Butler has no princi- ple. He has turned his back on ev- erything he has ever advocated, and fought against every standard under which, at one time, he was enlisted. With his intellectual power turned in the right direction and backed by moral purpose and noble principle he might have been ove of North Carolina’s greatsons. But instead |we have a contemptible creature, | despised and loathed by his fellows, j and whose name is a synonym for all that the baser side of human nature possesses, STATESVILLE, N. C,, THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1900. ' 10,000 Christians Killed. London D:spatch, 4th. According to a special dispatch j advaccing column of the allies was ‘reported there yesterday to have jreached a point 35 miles beyond | Tien Tsie. Nothing from any other point correborates this statement lIn fact. The Standard goes so far as tesauv that it fears the real advance, apart from preliminary measures, hus not yet begun. Tien-7sin dis- paiches, dated July 30, tell of an action which is termed a “‘reconnoi- sance Letween tbe Japanese and Chinese,’’ two miles beyond the Bsik» arsenal, in which theJapanese withdrew after suffering 30 cusual- ties. Tbe Tien-Tsin correspondent of Tue Standard, under date of July 27, declares that the Americans and forward without waiting for the British. A Che Fu special, August 1. announces the safety of all the Americans in Pekin and the recep tien ofa letter from Dr. Cbeltman. dated Pékin, July 20, saying that on the previous day, Sir Claude MacDonald, the British minister, had agreed to a truce provided the Chinese came nocioser, and adding: “We hope this means relief; but, having defeated the (Chinese, are fearful now of treachery. All are exhausted with constant watching. tivhtinyg and diyeiay trenches. The yvreatest credit is due to Mr. Squires, secretary of the United States leza tion, whose military experience aad eneryry are invaluable.” The Shanghai correspondent of The Daily News says the consuls there regret the independent action taken by the American and the China Association upon the ground that it is injudicious. He says: “The settlements being internation al, petty jealousies must disappear. The China Association is of litte local intiuence.”’ Presumably he refers to the American Asiatic As- sociation. The Hong Kony correspondent of The Daily Express$ announces the arrival there from San Francisco of Homer Lea, for some time secret agent inthe United States of the Society for the Reformation of the Chinese Empire, with £60,000 sterl- ing, which ‘will presu:nably be utilized in cunnecticn with the revo- jutionary movement against the Kwpress Dowayer, a movement quiescent since 1898, until withio the last few weeks.” Nearly all the correspoadents coutirm the reports of a wholesale massacre of Christians outside Pe kin, a corresponcent cf The Daily News viving the number killed as between 10,000 and 15,000, all de fenceless converts. Imperial troops, sc itis stated, did the ghastly work, According to the Shanghai corre- spondent of The Times, one of the members of the Tsung Li Yamen mentioned by United States Consul Goodnow, as having been beheaded for proforeign tendencies, was Hsu Ching Cheng, former minister :o Russia. The correspondent said the Empress Dowager ordered his exe- cution on the advice of Li Ping Hoag. Li Hung Chang has been informed from Pekin that Prince Ching’s only prominent supvorters in his peace policy are General Young Li and Wang Wen Shao, president of the board of revenue, whose influence is small. Ege Hay Gives His Terms to Li. Washington Dispatch 2d, The State Department has made public the following correspondence between Li Hung Chang and the State Department, regarding the abandoument of the campaign on Pekin. “Telegram sent to the United States embassies in Berlin, London, Paris, Rome and St. Petersburg and to the United States minister at Tokio. *““State Department. * *Washington, Aug. 1, 1900. “In reply toa suggestion of Li Hung Chang that the ministers might be sent under safe escort to Tien-Tsin provided the pewers would engage not to march on Pekin, the Secretary of State replied on the 30th of July: “<-This government will not enter into any arrangement regarding disposition or treatment of legati- ons without first having free com- munication with Minister Conger. The responsibility for their protec tion rests upon the Chinese govern- ment. The power to deliver at Tien-Tsin pre-supposes power to protect and to open Communication. This is insisted on.’ “This message was delivered to Viceroy Li by Mr. Goodnow on the Bist. Viceroy Li then inquired whether ‘if free communication were established between ministers and their governments it could be ar- ranged that the powers should not advance on Pekin pending engotia- tions.’ “To this inquiry the following re- ply was sent on the Ist of August: *““*Goodnow, Consul General, Shanghai: *“*T do not think it expedient to submit the proposition of Earl Li to the other powers. Free com- munication with our representatives in Pekin is demanded as a matter of absolute right and not as a favor. Since the Chinese government ad- mits that it possesses the power to give communication, 1t puts itself in un unfriendiy attitude by denying it. No negotiations seem advisable until the Chinese government shall have put the diplomatic represerta- tives of the powers in full and free communication with their respective governments and removed all danger to their lives and liberty. We would urge Earl Li earnestly to ad- vise the imperial authorities of China to place themselves in friend- ly communication and co-operation with the relief expedition. They in acting otherwise.

Germans have been ordered to moye | are assuming a heavy responsibility { Repubtic or Empire? i Atlanta Constitution. | The Washington Post, which re- |and opposing both political parties, jis now (or was day before vester- | day) in the mood to make light of 'the form of imperialism which makes contemporary says that the question is of little moment, for the reason that it is now before the supreme on and that tribunal will, sooner or later, decide whether the consti- tution accompanies the flag and be- comes opecative the moment this government assumes sovereignty over aterritory either at hore or abroad. In other words, no matter what. claim or contention a party may set up—no matter what right it may deny to the people, nor what guar aniees it may ignore, so lung as the matter gets before the supreme court, the tendency of that party :s not tobe regarded as dangerous According to this theory, a party which develops a disposition to keep the supreme court busy defend ing the rights of the people and up- holding the guarantees which the organic law provides, is just us worthy of the confidence and sup- port of the votes of the country as the party which is jealous of the rights of the people, and which re- sists every effort to curtail them. We need not sav that tbis doct- rine is queer; it is preposterous. There are many ways by which the rights of the people may be curtailed for which the supreme court pro- vides no remedy. The most obdvi- ous are the various methods by which the attention of the voters is called away from the most vital fs- sues on the plea that other questi- ons are of more importance. A party is to be judged not merely by its positive policy. What it omits or neglects to dois in most cases a more accurate measure ofitsdesigns than the schemes it is able to carry out. Its positive policy may be based on expediency, and in that case its purposes and desires can best be judged by the general drift and tendency of the party as a whole. We opine that no intelligent citi- zen can mistake the drift and ten- deuey of the Republican party since the beginning of “the war for hu- manity.”’ It has developed a pur pose not oniy todeny the demand for popular rights, but to crush out the aspirations of those who long for freedom: it has entered into a secret alliance with Great Britain, and at this moment anti Boer pam phlets are finding their way to tbe public through the office of commis sioner of education. The Post, which is extremely prompt with ex- planations, has one ready for this latest phase of imperizlism; but it will hardly hold water. Furthermore the military commis- sion in vhe Philippines is engaged in an effort to propagate and popular- ize the nomenclature of imperialism in this country. It has issued a cir- cular to school superintendents in this country, in which occurs the first official use of the term ‘‘em- pire’’ that has ever been made so faras we know. ‘‘I write,”’ says this representatiye of the Republi- can administration, ‘‘to ask if you can aid us in the civilization of this new part of our empire by sending such reports, bulletins,’’ ete. We may be sure that this word was not employed accidentally. It ahows that there is really a great issue before the people. It is the question whether we shall continue to have a republic, or whether the syndicates and trusts which use the republican party as a convenient tool, are to establish an empire on the ruins of the American republic. -_ oT The Camp aign of Webster Davis. Washington Special to R alegh Post. At the Democratic beadquarters it is said that the campaign work of Webster Davis in Kansas is at- tracting marked attention. The Fort Scott speech of Mr. Davis de- livered in the presence of 5,000 per- sons, is being given wide circulation by the anti-administration press in Kansas. Mr. Davis’ subject was “Only a Farmer.’’ He said in part: “Oh ! yes, he «was only a farmer and nothing more, who climbed the steep sides of Majuba hill to drive from itssummit soldiers of British tyranny and oppression, and who at Bronkburst Spruit aod Laing’s Nek fought like chivalrous knights for liberty, justice and equality. “T remember that in our own land it was only a farmer that pour- ‘ed out the crimson blood of his life on Lexington green-as a willing sacrifice on liberty’s altar, who suf- fered with Washington at Valley Forge, and who, at Saratoga and Monmouth performed deeds of valor that wedded his name to glory and undying fame. ‘*And in the future,as in the past, it is only afarmerand nothing more that will be the safeguard of our na- tion and will protect our republic from the clutches of agents of sel- tish, greedy monarchies, and _ still more selfish, greedy, trust owners, and will Jet it be known of all men that liberty has erected its altars on our mountains, in our valleys, and our own spreading plains.” Rides Horseback at 77 Years.

It may net be cur of place to say what the-American Cotton Company is and how I became identitied with it. “More than ten yearsago John W. Graves. of Arkansas, began work on a press designed to roll up cotton at the gin in highly compressed roundjap bales. Seeing in the ver- fection of his invention an improve ment os inestimable value to the south, where cotton for more than a hundred years had veen and still is baled in the crudest imaginable way, ladvinced money to carry on the work in which he was engaged By 1895 Graves and W. E. Ander- son, who had become associated with him, had built a press which made a round bale of great density, the distinctive merit of which was that It rcquired neither bayging nor tles. We lacked, however, the nec- essary capital to develop ‘the busi- Iness, aud when in 1896 the Ameri- to furni-h the money for making practica! the improvement in baling colton, we sold it our pateuts, aud | thus becamea stockholder in that company. “This company isin no sense a trust nor is ita company with in- flated capital. It is simply a busi- ness Organization with capital large enough tv carry on successfully tbe enterprise in which it is engaged It has developed rapidly. The roundia; presses which it arises have bevuestabiished at 300 loca- tions in the cotton States. % bese presses put up cotton at the gin plants in highly compressed, scif- containiny bules, which dispense with baeying and ties, and, not needing to be re compressed, as all square bzles intended for distant markets must be, are ready for through shipment to the mills in this country or to ports abread, without the necessity of resam pling, and with the minimum of expense Lhe proiit whic: ‘hecompany makes is not uw cha:,eupon the cotten, but isa part of the roundlap bale Savings—some 33 or $4 a bale— which are sharet by cotton growers, cotton vinners, railroad, insurance aod stezn-hip ¢ mpanies and other interests engus J he marketing of the sou. h’s + crop. a “Lhe Arweric — Jotton Company does not sim at . monopoly in the handling «f roundlap bales, but gin- bers are tzee to sell in the open market a: any time andto aay buy- er. It dues, however, guarantee to every ginner who uses its presses that all proverly made roundlap bales shail sell for a substantial pre- miumabove the market price of square bales. “If to have beeu instrumentai in the development of this great inven- tion and to own stock in acompany, whick by its use introduces scien- tific methods of economy in the mar- keting of ‘he American cotton crop, not only without cost to the farmer, but actually to his profit, is a just round of criticism against me, I am greatly mistaken. Other round bale presses are being made. The American Cotton Company has nev- er attempted to absorb any of these, but openly competes with them. We do claim the right to use our Own patents, a right which is guar- anteed to us by the constitution of the United States.” ernie See Suicide in Durham. Durham Special to Post, 3d. H.

Mr. Gocdnow's dis patch contains some further infer- |Mation bearing on the question of |responsibility for Pekin conditions, in the statement that the command- ier of the Chinese troops. by infer- | enoe answerable to the Chinese gov eacres. Itis learned here thar Li Ping Hong, the commander referred | to all the Chinese officials abroad as one of the most rabid anti-foreign leaders in China. He is a close friend of Prince Tuan, and the as- sociation of these two in Pekin af- fairs, with power enou:h behind them to cause the ignominious death of two high officia!s, is regarded asa bad sign. Simultaneously with Mr. Goodnow’s dispatch came a charact- eristically diplomatic message from days ago that the Chinese yovern incnt was arranging to deliver the ministers in safety at Tien ‘dsia. No effort is wade to reconcile that state- went with Ear! Li's refusal to allow communication with the ministers. General Ciatiee’s message as to the unexpected resistance offered to the Japanese reconnoissance, is revard- ed by military men here as forecast- ing a greater degree of resistance to the internal advance than bad been anticipated, and they are now satis fied that the Chinese troops will fur- nish materia! for at least one severe battle before the way is clear to Pe- kin. > a All Killed or Gaptured.

EE The State League Disbands. Sometime ago the Executive Com- mittee of the State League appoint- ed a committee to arrange a sched- ule of games to begin August Sth, the time when the old schedule ran out. This committee met last week, and after consultation decided that the best plan was not to arrange the schedule, but allow the league to disband. There were several rea- sons for this. The gate receipts were nct sufficient to pay the run- ning expenses of the teams. - Con- sequently it was hard for some of theteams to keep up. Another cause for financial trouble was that the salaries paid this year were too high. By this action, Tarboro was left at the bend of the league, with Charlotte secoud. Statesville, we are sorry to say, held the bottom piece. Tarboro, of course, gets the pennant, this team and Charlorte were to play five games for s cup given by some Charlotte baseball enthusiasts. As the ex- pense would be so great. Tarboro retused to play and designated Statesvilleto play in her stead nerlotte immediately disbanded, so Not only ‘his but we had arranged to play cif this week three games that were thrown ovt. Notwithstanding tbat Charlotte had made this arrange- ment, she disbanded her team. We think that if we could have played these games that the Athletic Asso- ciation would have been brought out of debt Next year the committee prom- ises that the league shall be organiz cartier in the season, and that more towns will be members. A_ salary limit will be fixed so that ope town will have the same chance in procur- ing yvood players as another. - —_ -— abu ‘The Congressional Conyention.

One vight last week Mr. Edgar Allison, son of ex Marshal T. J. Al- lisov, was dragged out ofhis buggy by a rope which was stretched across Davie avemue near the Propest house, and seriously hurt. His neck was bad!y cut by the rope, and in the fall his back and head were badly bruised and his leg and arm wrenched. He was dazed by the fall and was dragged by the horse about 100 yards. His iuvju- ries were of such a nature that he was under the care of a physician for several days, but he is recover- ing, although still considerably ‘“*bunged up.”’ Mr. Allison says he drove up town about dark but the rope was not up at that time. He started home just after ten and his horse went under the rope which caught Mr. Allisoc about the neck as above stated. There was no light burning to warn passers-by of the rope’s presence and the near-by electric light was not burning. The rope was put across the #street by one of the police- men to prevent vehicles passing on account of serious illness on the street. Whe.u obstructions are placed across the streets at night all pos- sible warnings should be given of their presence. ee Death of Mrs. Scarboro. The wife of Rev. W. B.

The in- tention of its perpetrators was hein: ous, the result to the victimized race has been disastrous, and the effect upon the race charged with the preservation of order most de- pressing. Nevertheless the white race in the South, true to its tradi- tions everywhere else, has raastered the difficulty, and today there 1S peace and progress throughout the whole section once doomed by its conquerers to anarchy and rapine in the enlarged condition which now exists, it bas been found that men cannot devote so much time to politics. Busy men of affairs do not want to lay awake, with fingers placed on triggers all the time. They demand a rest from the incessant cal! upon their time. Tkey want more time for their own business while they are prepared to pay more money for the building up of the inferior race. Hence the de- mand for ballot reform which has for its object. the elimination ot the lhieentious and- purchasable vote. Very few white men, no matter how ignorant, ever sell their votes. Al- most all negroes, no matter how in- telligent, refuse to vote until they have been ‘“‘seen.’’ Even the preach- ers are bought by a donation to the stamp to interfere in State politics does that for which he so severely censured Senatom Hampton in 1890 and caused bis defeat by Jno. L. M. Irby. The church people are taking an active part in this fight and the religious press is pouring weekly broadsides into Senator Tillman and the dispensary. pra In acard to the Southern Christian Advocate, Senator Tillman says he will apologize for his charge about the “unholy alliance’’ if the preach- ers will show that they are not working with the bar-keepers. The Methodist ‘“‘temperance com- mittee” declares the Senator's charge to be slander, while the Bap sist Courier, the organ for that de- nomination, declares the bar-keepers to be no more ‘‘unholy”’ than the Senator, who is the father of the dispensary—a crime and a curse. Preachers have taken up the gauntlet and from hundreds of pul- pits sermons condemning the course of Senator Tillman are being preach- ed. The tight will be kept up till after the primaries. There are five candidates for Gov- ernor. Each speaks his entire time thirty minutes—on the liquor question every day. And _ nearly every one of the other thirty aspi- rants for State offices devotes part of his time to the same subject, church. Such a state of affairs has made action necessary, and North Cerolina moved effectively in the matter yesterday. And yet the result will be most encouraging tothe black race. A cause of wholesale debauchery and temptation has been removed, The industrious and the virtuous. will prosper, while the vagrant anc the criminal will not. This latter class will have to zo or mend its way, and the result five years from today will be that North Carolina will have a thrifty colored population, und that every man will vote openly and intelligently, in perfect fellow- ship and harmosy with his white neighbor. Hence it has been a great day for the white conservator of civilization, but a greater one still for that struggling portion of the colored race which is seeking an escape from its African hereditament.” = of = Negotiations are at a Close Until China Complies With Demands . Washington Dispatch, 2ud. Seeretary Hay’s reply to Li Hung Chang bas closed the negotiations with China, unless the old viceroy is able to secure the full acceptance of our terms relative to the foreign ministers, and that at once. No orders therefore looking to the re- laxation of the preparations for the advance on Pekin have gone out from Washington, for, as the situa- tion is described by one of the lead- ine officials here, there will be no bargaining on our part in advance of the concessioa by the Chinese authorities to ‘full and free com- munication with the foreign minis- ters.’’ Tnere is moreover, a note ominously close to actual war in Secretary Hay’s declaration that ‘ine conduct of the Chinese govern- ment is unfriendly.”’ That kind of language is extreme in diplomacy, and itis only a narrow step be- tween itand formal war. The im- pression prevails here that the Chi- aese government, ifit is not abso- lutely bereft of power toact in de- tiance of the Boxers, will accept our terms, and some such action is look- ed for yery soos. Possibly a battle, not more it is believed, than one, at most, will be required to bring the imperial government to the point of acceptance, though in that case it is questionable whether the original conditions would be regarded as stillopen to acceptance. If the Chinese government now accepts, however, the United States govern- ment will be brought face to face with oneof the most delicate and momentous diplomatic tasks e*er undertaken. It must attempt to re- deem its promise to use its goad oftices in favor of China and in the present temper of the European powers, the greatest dilficulties may be expected to arise in the prosecution of the attempt. It is the confident expectation of the officials here, however, that if the Chinese government actually and in good faith meats all of the four con- ditions laid down by the President in his reply to the Chinese Emper- or’s appeal for aid, that at least a majority of the powers now repre- sented in China will accept that as a proper base upon which to cease present hostilities and open neo- tiations for a settlement. The de- cision of the majority in such case without doubt would receive the acquiescence of the minority, else un interminable entanglemert might arise, oe rr ne ee Bryan Outlines Work for August. T,incotn Dispatch 2d, W.J. Bryan today outlined his work for August: After the notification at Indian- apolis August Sth, he will return to Chicago fora few days to consult with members of the national com- mittee. He will then return to Lincola, where he will remain until August 30th, when he will goto Chieago to ettend the national Grand Army encampment. During his stay in Lincoln between the Chicago trips, Mr. Bryan will com- plete his letter of acceptance, which is now partially written, and this will be issued. He will also prepare aldresses for the populist and silyer republican notifications. Willis J.

The ties for the populist and silvér republican notifi¢ations have’ D e pon na ake cs Pacification a Failure. Charles F. Price, of Plattburg, Mo., lately returned from the Phil- ippines islands states that it is his opinion that the Filipinos are capa- ble of self-government, and that their fighting against the American army is afight of patriotism and for independence and liberty. for which they sincerely hope. He believes the Filipino to be no more intelligent tlan Japanese, and that if they were free to control their own destines would make arepublic tbe rival of that of the western hemisphere. Only a portion of the island of Lu- zon is peaceful and under American rule, and there the fact that the sol- diers aud guards constantly watch the flag prevents it from being torn down, ané soldiers are compeiled to go about in groups to prevent as- sassination. The inhabitants of Ma- nila, while apparently pacified, will have no intercourse or trade with Americans and treat them with con- tempt. The Mindaro island, the second in importance, is in Ameri- can possession only with a flay and a division of soldiers quartered in a block house, and’who are continually menaced by real bullets. The paci- fication of the islands is like the pur- rification of politics, ‘an irridescent dream,’’ and the present warfare will exist until American invaders are foyever evicted from the islands, The soldiers are sick and tired of their enlistment, and almost open mutiny exists among them and the officers. The city of Manila and the islands area paradise for the government carpetbuggers, contractors and offi- cers. Corruption among them is rampant, open and notorious. Colos- sal.fortunes arebeing made by these men, and the McKinley administra- tion is kindly fostering it and the people pay the freight. The strict censorship prevents the facts from being sent here, but the war as it now exists is not for pacification, but for plunder. Mr. Price isa native of this county and was a cadet at the Misrouri uni- sersity at the opening of the Span- ish war, when he enlisted with the Missouri volunteers and did his fight- ing at Chickamauga. At the end of his enlistment he and his brother went to Cuba and Porto Rica and in December, 1898, they went to Ma- nila, being engaged in filling con- tracts for army supplies in the Phil- ippines. ———an> > aa Aid to One Struck By Lightening. Engineering. It is a popular belief that death from lightening is caused by the in- ternal burns or by the rupture of some vital organ, such as the heart, the lungs, or the stomach; but, though severe lesions may some- times occur, post-mortem exami- nations seldom reveal any serious affections of the vitcera, or, for that matter, anything abnormal in the physiological conditions, of the stricken person. The same also ap plies to people killed by contact witb live wires. In cases of light- ning stroke and electric shock some of thechief nerve centers are in- tensely stimulated. One of these the medulla ablongata, situated at the head of the spinal cord, exer- cises considerable control over the movement of respiration; while the nerve which it sends out and from its wanderings the vagus, has a sim ilar power over the heart; so that when these nerve masses are sub jected to any undue excitement the functions of respiration are at once interfered with. For this reason, in all cases, whether of lightaing stroke or electric shock, the sufferer is to be placed without delay in the most favorable position for breath- ing, sothat by energetically rubbing all parts of the body, and especially by regular traction of the tongue, respiration may be restored if at all possible. Suchattentions have re called animation more than once when all hopes of recovery were up. In one case 45 minutes elapsed before the patient gave signs of re- turning animation, and at theend of two hours he was able tospeak. He experienced no other injury than burns on the hands and thighs. J.C. Kennedy, Roanoke, Tenn. says, “I cannot say too much for DeWitt’s Witch Hazel Salve.

An unfortunate accident oceurred near Frederikstadt, on the Krugers- dorp Potchefstroom railway. The enemy had torn up rails and asupply train, escorted by the Shropshires, was derailed, thirteen being killed and thirty-nine injured, although a special patrol had been ordered to prevent trains from passing. <A special inquiry has been ordered to ascertain why the order was diso- beyed.”’ ——— ro ee Altgeld Fires Roosevelt, Atlanta Constitution. In his Toledospeech Former Gov- ernor Altgeld, of Illinois, took up the record of Governor Roosevelt, of New York, in such amanner as to show that the latter had been alto- gether too strenuous. In replying to Roosevelt’s declar- ation that — To give independence (to the Fili- pinos) now would be giving inde- pendence to the wildest tribe of Apaches in Arizona. Mr. Atgeld said: If this is correct then when Admur- al Dewey furnished arms and am- munition to Aguinaldo and his as- sociates he was arming savages and doing an act that is condemned by ali civilized natious;an act that is considered infamous. And when he co-operated with them as_ allies against Spain he was co-operating with savages, an act which would be a blot never to be wiped out. If the governor is correct, then, when General Anderson, in command of our land forces, wrote to Aguinaldo and asked his friendly co-operation against the.common enemy he made an ally of savaves and was guilty of a crime for which the civilized world will not forgive him. If the govern- or is not correct then we are mur- dering and plundering our allies. A point neatly parried ani _leav- ing the honors of the contention to the man from Illinois. Rev.

BROWN MF’G. CO., Prov'rs. Grveaeviile, ‘fean. SR T . We print Mr. Bryan’s speech of acceptance. The great papers of the country pronounce it Bryan’s vreatest effort. It will amply re- pay reading and we hope every sin- gle one of ourreaders will read it, This speech demonstrates anew that Bryan is equal to every emergency and that his like don’t hve. * * * The indications are that Bryan and Stevenson will beelected. When the yvamblers at Saratoga, New York, read Bryan’s speech of ac- centance they immediately reduced the odds which they had _ been offer- ing on McKinley. ‘The talent” don’t care whois elected but are out for the “‘stuff,’’? and no set of men watch political events more closely or know conditions better. Bryan’s position is so strong and he made it so plainin kis great speech that these gamblers knew he would gain votes and they revised their books accordingly. Bryan will, ia our opinion, be our next President. Speed the day. * . * We are very much gratified at the many expressions of approval which we have received on account of our editorial favoring Hon. F. M. Sim- mons for United States Senator whick was printed on the morning after the election. Democrats from all parts of the county have express- ed their approval of our course and announced their intention to vote and work for Mr. Simmons in the primary at the November election. The party workers in the townships are especially strong for our great chairman. If the sentiment of Ire- dell Democrats fairly represents that of the State, there will be little or no opposition to his election, and there should be none. * * * We see it stated in some of the papers that many of the North Car- olina Populist leaders will vote for McKinley this fall. Wedon’t know how this is, but we don’t believe the Populist rank and tile will follow the leaders for McKinley. The Mc- Kinley administration stands for eyerything which Populism has been fighting since its organization, and we don't believe the cajolery and misrepresentation of office-trading leaders can make the Populist vo- ters swallow that dose. It would bea sight for godsand men to see Populists yoting for a gold stan- dard, trust and imperialistic candi- date for President against Bryan. We don't believe it will be seen. * * a The great Democratic party of North Carolina, which has so recent- ly won sucha victory, requires of its members loyalty to the National Democracy and its regularly nomi- nated candidates. The party allows its members the utmost freedom of opinion but support of the nominees is a requisite of party regularity and recognition. To state the case differently, the voter who votes ayainst Bryan, or who fails to vote for him, bas no right to call himself a Democrat or share in the councils of the party, for Bryan is the regu- larly nominated candidate and stands on the party platform. Thou- sands of Democrats, loyal as the most loyal, do not believe in every doctrine of the party, but they vote the ticket, and they are to be com- merded for submitting in some par- ticulars to the will of the majority. But the veter who bolts the party ticket has no just claim to the par- ty’s name. North Carolina Demo- crat, think long and well before you make up your mind to bolt the party ticket this fall. The Democratic party will haye 100,000 majority in future elections in North Carolina. With wise legislation and conser- vatism the party will control the State for many years, for the people of the State are Dem- ocrats by inheritance and from tra- dition. The National Republican party has treated our people as aliens and our State as a province, Even if Republican financial and in- dustrial policies offered most pecu- niary advantages to our people (which is not the case), the memo- ries of 61 and 65 and of Republican outrage and insult heaped upon our State and people in the years vhich followed those years of disastrous war are too fresh in the minds of NorthCarolinians for theRepublican party to gain the ascendency since the negro has been disfranchised. In the ascendency of the Democrat- ic party all men who voted for Ay- cock and the amendment on the second day of this month will want to have a part, and our advice to all such is “keep your party record straight by voting for Bryan and Democratic candidate for Con- gress.” ‘Except ye abide in the ship ye shall all likewise perish’’ is a text from Holy Writ which should be carefully studied by hun- dreds of North Carolinians between now and November. Eugene V. Debs has signified his intention of accepting the nomina- tion for the Presidency by the Social Democratic party. | News From Troutman’s. Correspondence of THE MascorT. Deferred from last week. Mr. Joe Mills died at his home 2 miles west of this place Saturday night. His remains were interred at Perth graveyard Sunday after- noon. Mr. Mills leaves 11 children, of this number three are married and the others are still at home, some of them being quite small. Mr. Mills had been sorely afflicted for along time and death came to him as a happy release. He had made a heroic struggte for his moth- erless little ones and the least we can say is that he did his full duty to them as a Christian man.

The claim was made by some of the members that this action could be taken by the executive committee, but re- ference tothe minutes of the pro- ceedings of the Populist convention showed that the power to fill van- cancies is vested only in the full national committee. The committee issued the following address: Chicago, Aug. 10. “To the Members of the People’s Party: ‘‘A Greeting: The executive com- mittee of the People’s party takes this method of expressing to you its gratification on account of the ab- solute harmony which exists be- tween the allied parties. There is no discord anywhere. On the con- trary,a commendable spirit of ri- valry exists between the Democrats, Populists and silver Republicans, as to who shall make the best record in supportof our unrivalled leader, W. J. Bryan. “We have not felt authorized to fill the vacancy on our ticket occa- sioned by the declination of Hon. Chas. A. Towne and have called the national committee to meet in this city August 27, 1900. We trust that there may be a full attendance of the committee. Meanwhile, rest assured that no discord will grow out of the vice presidential situa- tion, “J.H. EDMISTON, “J.A.EDGERTON, *‘Secretary.”’ Members of the committee stated that Mr. Stevenson would without doubt be endorsed by the full com- mittee when it meets. It was decided during the meet- ing that branch national headquar- ters be established in Chicago, the main national headquarters to re- main in Lincoln.

It is now certain that several hun- dred missionaries will have to be ealled back from China and held on waiting orders for several years. What shall we do with them? Would it not be well to continue their pay and put themall to work in New York, the greatest heathen city to- day in the world? Until recently Tokio, Japan, had the greatest heathen population, but now New York comes forward and reports one million three hundred thousand peo- ple who are not connected with any Church and care nothing for any sort of religion. The gross wickedness of Manhattan Island probably puts to blush any spot on which the sun shines. The arrests in one ward in one year equaled one third of the entire pop- ulation. [ can’t conceive how it could be pleasing to God to {call our missionaries back from China and turn them loose on the churches to tell ‘‘what they say in China,”’ while these-1,300,000 heathen are dying and going to hell from New York.

A correspondent of the New York Times, signing himself ‘Jack Thorne,’’ doesn’t like a little bit the way things are goipg in the South, so faras the negro is con- cerned. Touching the negro Rob- ert Charles, who snot down several policemen and citizens in the streets of New Oaleans, he says: **Looking over that eventful trag- edy Ican see but one hero—one man—and that was Robert Charles. If this calm, nervy, deliberate olack man, facing certain and ignominious death and yet using his rifle with such deadly effect, is not a hero, then let the names of the mertyrs of the Alamo be erased from the page of history. One hundred and fifty negroes like Robert Charles, and armed as he was, would have brought that mob toits senses. When we consider that every peaceable means has been exhausted by the Soutbern negro to obtain and enjoy his just rights in the South, that brave act of Robert Charles points a new so- lution of the race problem. The Southern white does not love death so well when it comes to tasting of it himself, and the negro’s war rec- ord isample proof that he can die like a man. “David, the shepherd boy, in his lament over Sau} and Jonathan, who fellin battle against the tantalizing Philistine, counseled Israel to teach the children the use of the bow. The negro child should be taught that self-defense is as essential, as obligatory as self-respect, and the use of the rifle as the alphabet. The tyranny of kings in centuries past has bred anarchy and put into the world hordes of fanatics who feel it their duty to kill monarchs, good or bad. Every Southern white, high and low, is in his own estimation, a monarch who must have a worship- per, ands ninety-nine-one hun- dredths of all race troubles are due to the negro’s refusal to acknowl- edge the superiority of a being whose conduct and deportment_be- lie the boast. ; “The Southern whites are hewing out their own sepulchres by foster- ing and breeding anarchy in the breasts of the oppressed. We are anxious for Chinato accept our civ- ilization, but will it improve her morally? Will railroads, tele- graphs, telephones, steam engines, etc., and even Christian religion as we practice it, make the Celestial any better? The South has all these things—it’s full of Gospel, the churches are well attended, vet these hell-raisings are often led by professing Christians—eveno minis- ters of the Gospel.”’ Allof which proves what we’ve been saying all along: The negro’s worst enemy is his fool friends. It is just such tommyrot as the above that has always got him in trouble. Fortunately he’s too wise to give heed to such braying. Verily he was a wise man that prayed, ‘‘Lord deliver me from my fool friends, I can take care of my enemies.”’ pt a Li Hung Chang's Answer. London Dispatch, roth, ‘In case the troops advance the Chinese must fight. The suggestion that the ailies should be allowed to enter Pekin in order to escort the ministers to Tien-Tsin is absolutely im possible.”’ This is the dictum of Li Hung Chang. It was transmitted last evening to Mr. William Pritchard Morgan, Member of Parliament for Merthyr Tyrdvil, by his agent at Shanghai. The agent had carried to Ear! Lia message from Mr. Mor- gan, urging that the allied troops be allowed to enter the capital and stating that a settlement could be made at Tien-Tsin, whereby a war of the world against China would be averted; but even the optimistic Li failed to hold out the slightest hope of its feasibility, although he reiterated to Morgan’s agent his declaration that the ministers Lad left Pekin, fixing the date of their departure as August 2. The agent makes thiscomment: *-The consuls are without confirmation.”’ These messages have been sent to Lord Salisbury accompanied by a statement by Mr. Morgan, urging that the allies should takeno step to endanyver the lives of the ministers A message from the Belgian min- ister, dated Pekin, Au rust 2, seems effectually to disposeof the rumors that the ministers have either left orare intending to leave Pekin. The Chinese minister in London says he has received a telegram from China announcing that a long imperial edict was issued on August 2, authorizing the immediate and safe conveyance of all Europeans in Pekin to Tien-Tsin. New York CitySalary Roll Exceeds $40,000,000. New York Correspondence Chicago Tribune. Copies of the city record publish- ed under the requirements of the Fallows law received Monday night by Supervisor Butler show that the city salary roll will exceed $40,000,- 000. Salary increases since Januar 1st amount to over $200,000, This is the first real tab put on Tammany since consolidation. Last January copies of the record were issued con- taining lists of all city employes, and amounts received by each. No report was made, however, as to the specific increase in each department. This caused the enactment of the Fallows law, which calls for the pub- lication of the record twice a year, containing the name of each city employe, the amount of salary re- ceivec, the date of entrance into service or cessation from service, and the amount of increase or de- crease in salary. That these lists are correct is certified to by the supervisor, who reports to the con- troller. Volcanic Eruptions Are grand, but Skin Eruptions rob life of joy.

Tbere is a general disposition among the politicians to believe that the piace should gv to Chairman Simmons, whose splendid leadership is very largely responsible for the great victory which has been achiev- edat the polls. When Chairman Simmons, in commenting upon the result of Thursday’s election, stated thatit had been won through the application of “‘business metiaods,”’ he told, in a ‘modest way, the whole story. He neglected to say that the business methods re- ferred to were his own and that they consisted principally in the same thorougk organization as is usually found in close northern States. This organ‘zition, absolutely complete in all iis details, was perfected un- der the direction of Chairman Sim mons. He has genius for organiza- tion and leadership such as few men possess. —_.—__—. Cigar Shaped Train’s*Fast Run. Baltimore Dispatch, roth. All previous records were beaten by the Adams ‘“‘wind-splitting’’ or cigar-:bhaped train this afternoon during 2run from Philadelphia to Baltimore over the Baltimore & Ohio tracks. The distance was cov- ered in! hour and 41 minutes. At times the train ran at the rate of 82 miles an hour. It was under the supervision of engineers of the road aud Mr. Frederick Adams, the in- ventor, that the run was made. The train started from the Chestnut street station in Philadelphia at 5:30 o'clock, 23 minutes behind the Royal B:ue Limited. It was believ- ed that enough time was given to the latter to get out of the way, but so fast did the ‘‘wind-splitter’’ trav- el that the regular train was over- taken and several minutes lost be- cause of a slow down. The Reval Blue made the run in 1 hour and 59 minutes, and the ‘‘wind splitter’’ came in immediately after. The best time ever made on this run was one hour and 58 minutes. The best time on this run was made between Aberdeen ard Waverly, a distance of 29.8 miles. This was covered in 24 minutes. The engine used was of the 55-ton type, while that which pulled the Royal Blue weizhed 90 tons. —_—_—_— Attempted Assassination. Wilkesboro Chronicle. Mr. R. N.

Washington Dispatch, 1oth. The capture of Yang Tsun, the final objective point of the interna- tional forces, was the supreme news of importance received today, on the Chinese situation. The first word of this capture, effected last Monday, came in a brief dispatch to the signa! office at the War De- partment, from Col. Scriven, the signal officer, at Che Fu, saying: “Yang Tsun captured today. Wire up. Need own transportation. All well. SCRIVEN..”’ Half an bour after this message. a cablegram came from General Chaffee giving additional details of the capture and showing that it had been at the cost of about 60 casual ties among the American troops. General Chaffee’s dispatch was as follows: “Yang Tsun, Aug. 6.—Yang Tsun occupied today. Wounded, Second Lieutenant Frank R. Long, Ninth Infantry, mderate;casualties about 60 men.

Oak Hill lodge of the Royal Tribe of Joseph is divided into hostile camps al-on account of the pretty feet of several women. A Cinder- ella comtest for a pair of dainty slippers is the cause of the dissen- tion. An aged shoemaker had the temerity to make a selection, award- ing the honor of the smallest foot to Mrs. Adonis L. Camlin, worthy priestess, and wife of the worthy patriarch of the lodge. Friends of the various contestees made bets as to the merits of their feet, and those who had wagered on a lady who refused to take off ker shoes insisted that she had the smail- est foot, and that the prize be not awarced. The ofiicer refused to issue the order for the slippers, and a general quarrel ensued, in which some mean things were said. The entire suburb of Oak Hill is involved in the quarrel, as nearly all the residents belong to the lodges. => Bryan a Great Politician. Chicago Dispatch, 10th, During the short time Mr. Bryan has been ia conference here with the leaders of the various parties sup- porting him he has been a _ revela- tion to the politicians. They have discovered that he is quite as well acquainted with the minutest details of political management as is the oldest and most astute manipulator among them. Oneof them put it forcibly in this way: ‘Bryan studied statesmanship up to 1896, but dur- ing the last four years he has been study‘ng politics.”’ In this regard it is shown that he again parallels Lincoln, whose model he has adopted. Lincoln was a profound student of law and the higher points of politics up to 1856, in which year he wag defeated for office in one of the most notable cam- paigns in the history of the country. After that he spent several years in studvingpolitics,as that term is pop- ularly understood. The masterly management of his campaign for the presidential nomination and _ his sweeping victory in 1860 demonstra- ted how thoroughly Lincoln had learned the game of politics. Some men who have been brought in contact with Bryan during the important conferences being held here express amazement at his knowledge of political conditions and tendencies in all parts of the country. Jhey say that he has the campaign organized in his mind about as Napoleon trained and sys- temized himself. Mr. Bryan dis- plays a remarkably close and _ inti- mate acquainance with every weak spot in the lines of the opposition, A question as to New York, for ex- ample, brings from him a reply as prompt and intelligent as is elicited from any of the New Yorkers par- ticipating in the conference. deed it is said in some important de- tails he shows more thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the sit- uation aod needs in that State than do the men who live there and who for years have devoted themselves to acareful study of New York poli- tics. In the discussion which is go- ing on behind closed doors he dis- poses of men and localities with a rapidity that takes the breath away from some of the older political foxes.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR CONGRESS. The re-nomination of Tkeodore F. Kluttz, of Rowan, for Congress by the district convention here yester- day was a matter of course. He has served the district ably, faithfully and acceptably forone term and his unanimous as it endorsement was should have been. Mr. Kluttz stands squarely upon the platforms of his party and is entitled to the support of every member of his party in the district. He will get it. A magnificent cam- paigner, he will canvass every por- tion of the district and will mae votes for himself and his party. A true mau and Democrat, with first- class abilities, he will grow in influ- ence in the new term which his con- stituents will give him in the Na- tional Congress. Let’s make his majority greater than it was two years ago. ———————— The nomination of J. Reece Blair, of Montgomery, for elector is one which will justify itself before elec- tion day in November. He is one of the most adroit politicians in the State and a speaker of rare power. He promises a thorough canvass of the district and Bryan and Democ- racy will be worthily upheld in the old Seventh this year. In both nominations our convention did itself proud yesterday. > 2 E—————— Bryan's Campaign Plans.—He Will Speak Almost as Much asin ‘96. Chicage Dispatch rth, William J. Bryan’s visit to Chica- ro has practically resulted in an un- derstanding that he will travel al- most as much during the present eampaign as he did in 1896. The tirst inclination on his part was to avoid the making of many speeches this year, but there has been such general pressure that it is under- Stood that he is now inclined to yieldand to visit many parts of the country. No positive promises for participation in the campaign have been made for other than New York, but probabilities are @hat he will go from that State to Maryland, where there appears to be great anxiety for his appearance. After that time he is likely to make quite a general tour of the North Missis- sippi valley States, including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mirnesota, ete. Ne authorized statement has been given out to this effect, but there is no doubt that this is the present tendeney, and, indeed the plan is practically decided upon. In New York, it is expected that Mr. Bryan will speak only in the larger cities. The Silver Republicans originally expected to notify Mr. Bryan of their nomination of him for the presidency at the same time that the Populists make their notification at Topeka. Kansas, August 23d, but this purpose has been changed. Their notification will come later, and the probabilities are that it will be made at St. Paul or Minneapolis. Hon, T. M. Patterson, of Denver, will make the speech notifying Mr. Bryan of the Populist nomination at Topeka. _There will be no notification toa vice presidential candidate, as in view of Towne’s declination the Populists at present have no candi- date for that office. ————> -4@>- <a Aguinaldo Afraid to Surrender. Washington Dispatch, rgth. Copies of Manila papers received at the war department contain a letter purporting to be from a per- sonal friend of Aguinaldo, which states that the Filipino chief does not take advantage of the amnesty proclamation because some time ago he gave orders to kis followers to break up into guerrilla bands. The amnesty order excepts those who violated the laws of war, and it states that Aguinaldo fears that he would be in the excepted class should he undertake to surrender under the amnesty proclamation. The letter is dated at Blac No Bato, which is said to be the present pro- visional headquarters of Aguinaldo. lt states, however, that Aguinaldo never stays more than one night in @ place and only a few hours in any one location. He allows no one to come near him except his most in- timate personal friends, A dis- patch in oneof the papers dated at San Pedro Macati, states that Gen- eral Pio del Pilar, who recently sur- rendered, says he wishes to become a good American citizen,and intends to accept the American terms offer- ed to his people. He said that he would like nothing better thin to raisé a regiment of native Filipinos to seryé in China, Drummers For Bryan, Washington Post. “Four years ayo the commercial travellers of the country voted al- most solidly for McKinley,’’ said Mr. G. R. Butts, of New York, who is at the Metropolitan. ‘This year, I believe the majority of them will vote for Bryan. In New York State alone, 19,000 travelling men have been thrown out of employ- ment through the operations of the trusts, and in all the Eastern States combined the number will reach 40,- 000, These men believe that the Republican party is responsible in a large measure for the existence of trusts, and even those who have not yet lost their places will join their unfortunate fellows in rebuking a party that encourages a condition from which they are direct sufferers. ‘Nor is the loss of their votes all the Republican party will suffer from the disaffection of the commer- cial salesmen. Four years ago 90 per cent. of the ‘drummers’ were active and effective missionaries in the Repablican cause. They talked McKinley and sound money on rail- road trains, in hotel lobbies, and at the cross roads store. It was a fa- miliar sight, when the campaign of 1896 was at its height, to see a trav- eling salesman in the lobby of a hotel with a crowd about him, dis coursing upon the good times that were to follow the election of Me- Kinley. There will be little of that this year. Few of the traveling ™men will talk politics, aad those who do will be pretty apt to advise their friends to vete for Bryan and help crush the trusts.”’ _—_— or Gen. Wheeler Saves Bryan’s Boy’s Life. : Chicago Dispatch, 13th General Joseph Wheeler, comman- der of the Department of the Lakes, today saved the life of William J. Bryan, Jr., the 12-year-old son of the Democratic candidate for the presidency. The lad visited Gener- al Wheeler and the latter, after his first greeting, turned to his work, and allowed the youngster to amuse himself as best he might. Young Bryan found a loose chair caster and ta big bundle of rubber bands. These he tied into a long string and then, securing thecaster to the bottom, went to a window and began bounce ing the piece of iron up and down on the side-walk, 75 feet below. The general, engrossed with his labors, paid no attention to the boy, who gradually beeame so interested in his play that he leaned farther and farther out of the casement of the window. ‘Fighting Joe’’ hap- pened to glance up a few moments later, and was horvified to see the lad hanging with his whole body over the side-walk and only the toes of his shoes clutching the angle of the window. He sat aghast for a moment, and then, rushing to the window, he pulled the lad in by his legs and landed him safely on the floor. Speaking of the occurrence after- ward, General Wheeler acknowledg- ed that young Bryan was withia an inch of being dashed to death on the pavement below when he caught sight of him.

M, Weatherby, a school teacher in the community. He gave it out that he would flog Mr. England the first op- portunity. The opportunity did not present itself until on last Fri- day, on account of Mr. England be- ing away. On Friday, August 10th, afr. England went to the postoffice as usual to get his mail, when a bru- tal aesault was made on him by both Mr. BD. M. Weatherby and _ his nephew, Oscar Weatherby, at the same time, and but for the timely interferenceof the friends of Mr. England, he would have been rough- ly dealt with. glhe good people of Ramseur are righteously indignant and do not hesitate to openly con- demn the dastardly act as brutal and cowardly in the highest degree. (Mr. England is well known in this part of the country, having served several churches in this vi- cinity—Mascor.) —_————> > oe Looks Dark For Powers. Georgetown, Ky,, Dispatch, 14th. The final instructions were read to the jury by Judge Cantrill this afternoon, in the Powers trial, and Judge James Sims made the open- ing argument to the jury for the de- fense. Defendant Powers is in such @ nervous and critical condition that his attorneys filed a physician’s affidavit thathewas unable to at- tend auight session of the court, but Judge Cantrill said:a cot could be provided forhim, and he could liedown in the court room during the speeches. Powers was able to sit up tonight, however. The instructions to the jury are considered by*defendants as being entirely too severe, and tend to les sen Powers’ chances of acquittal. although they are still confident of a verdict in his favor. The court instructs the jury that an accessory before the fact may be convicted, although the person who committed the act is never identified, apprehended or tried, and that if the jury believe from the evidence, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant conspired with the other persons indicted, or any other persons, to procure or bring about the murder of Goebel, they ought to find the defendant guilty of murder and fix his punishment at death or confinement in the State Sy for life, in their discre- ion. —— bo A Greensboro Young Lady Crazed by Love, Winston Sentinel, A young lady from Greensboro was sent to the hospital at Morgan- ton last night. Her story is a sad one. She had a lover and it is said that he had apparently been a de voted one for more than a year. They were to have been married two | weeks ago last Tuesday, but as the! hour arrived a note was handed ber | which ranthus: ‘I am gone. [ love another. Good-bye.’’ | Allefforts ofher father and mo-; ther and ofloving friends to draw| her mind from the faithless lover’ were iti vain and from hours and| days of brooding, reason was over- thrown. : FIGHTING IN CHINA. Russians Fire on Americans By Mistake. London Dispatch, 14th. The British consul at Canton, says The Daily Telegraph’s corres- pondent there, has received the fol- lowing message dated August 6th, from Sir Claude McDonald, British minister in Pekin: ‘Our situation here is desperate. In ten days our fcod supply will be at anend. Unless we are relieved, a general massacre is probable. The Chinese offer toescort us to Tien- Tsin, bit remembering Cawnpore, we refuse the offer. There are over 200 European women and children in this legation.”’ The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, wiring yester- day, says: ‘“‘The allies at noon Saturday were within 30 miles of Pekin.”’ As General Chaffee’s report, which is the only authentic news re- ceived here regarding the advance, located the international forces about 40 miles from Pekin, on Fri- day, it seems that this Shanghai re- portis optimistic It is scarcely likely that the allies could advance 20 miles in as many hours. A Yang- Tsun, dispatch, dated August 7th, giving details regarding the capture of that place, says: “The Russians and French held the left, the British the left centre, the Americans the right centre and the Japanese the extreme right. The British and Americans advanced on the villageat a rapid rate for 5,000 yards, under a severe shell and rifle fire. The Russians opened and the British-American advance was a race for position culminating in a brilliant charge. ‘‘The heaviest loss of the day was sustained by the Americans, the Fourteenth Infantry having nine killed, 62 wounded and several miss- ing. The Bengal Lancers unsuc- cessfully attempted to cut off the Chinese retreat.”’ Another Yang Tsun special says: “Owing toa mistake, British and Russian guns shelled the Fourteenth United States Infantry during the night, wounding ten.”’ Commenting upon this occurrence the Standard says: ‘It is melan choly to learn that the losses of the Americans, who seem to have borne themselves with conspicuous gallan- try, were increased by a deplorable error in consequence of which one of their regiments was pounded by Russian and British cannon. The incident emphasizes the necessity of that close co-operation which is not easily obtainable without a sin- gle commander and a general staff.’ Offieial advices from Yokohama, dated yesterday, say that the allies propose to advance 02 August 7 to Nan Tsi Tsun, between Yang Tsua and Wu Sing. The Japanese suffer- ed no casualties at Yang Tsun, but the otticial reports say that they had 300 at Pietsang. The Daily Mail's St. Petersburg correspondent declares that the tak- ing of Aigun has sealed the fate of the rising in northeastern Manchu- ria. Headds: ‘‘No prisoners were taken by the Russians. Wholesale massacre was the order of the day; and when the battle was over, the Cassacks rode over the field, killing all the wounded with the butt ends of their muskets. All the ‘small arms ammunition used by the allies will be in accordance with the rec- mendations of the peace conference, vone being explosive or expanding. The drain of China and South Africa upon England's store is so great that every private firm has been enlisted to help the government supply the demand and to restore the reserye, which is much below par. Allgreat ammunition firms are workiag night and day in their efforts to meet the government’s wishes. A dispatch from Gen. Chaffee re- ceived in Washington Monday con- veys the information that the Amer ican troops were within 38 miles of Pekin on the 7th The United States government has replied to the Chinese proposal for peace declining the proposition un- til our minister and other citizens are out of danger. + 2 eC Killed His friend to Get Money for His Wedding. Columbus, Ohio, Dispatch, 12th. Chas. R. H. Ferrel, a former em- ploye of the Adams Express Com- pany, was arrested this afternoon in this city and has confessed to the killing of Messenger Charles Lane and the robbery of the way safe of the Adams Express Company of the Pennsylvania eastbound train, which arrived in this city at mid- night Friday. One thousand dol- lars of the money which he had stolen was recovered. Ferrel was to have been married Thursday next to Miss Lillian Cost- low, daughter of Patrick Costlow, an engineer on the Pehusylvania lines. He had been discharged from the employ of the Adams Express Company about three months ago and had not since been able to se- cure employment. He confessed that the motive of the robbery was to secure money, of which he felt in great need on aecoust of his ap- proaching marriage. The money recovered he had given t» Miss Costlow to keep for him, saying it was money saved from his earnings. He was at the home of his attianced and in her company when placed un- der arrest. After his arrest at the house of his affianced he was taken to the police station, here a written con- fession was taken by the chief of police. Ferrel tried to keep his nerve, but it was evident that he had been under asevere strain and that he could not stand the ordeal much longer: He did not tell a connected story. Most of the facts were brought out by questions which he seemed to answer _ reluctantly. Several times he broke down and when he was finally taken to a cell he was in a state of collapse. He then seemed to fully realize for the first time the awful nature of his crime and the fact that he was in all probability to atone for it with his own life. As soon as it was learned that Ferrel had given the money v0 his sweetheart, Inspector Barron went to the house and secured it. The young lady was utterly prostrated by the disclosures. She had not be- lieved Ferrel capable of wrongdo- irgand the news was a terrible shock to her and her parents, who had regarded Ferrel as a model young man. The young lady had never doubted his story that the money which he placed in her keep- ing had been earfeti.and saved by him as he stated.~ Another,Conger Message. It is of Un- certain Date. ' Washington Dispatch 14th. At the close of the official day at the State Department, the following official announcement was bulletin- ed: “The Department of State an- nounces that a message from Minis- ter Conger has been received, but of the telegram sent him on August 8. It will not be made public. This came at the conclusion of a period of intense expectancy and one devoid of any actual develop- ments, savein the foregoing meagre- announcement. Minister Conger’s message was received in Washing: ton fshortly before noon, coming first to the Chinese legation by the usual route through Chinese officials. It was in the Ameriean cipher, with- out date, and signed with the minis- ter’s name. It was transmitted to the State Department and conferences began between Acting Secretary Adee aud Secretary Root. Through- out the afternoon, however, the State Department maintained an uaaccountable reticence concerning the subject, declining to admit that the message was in hand. The sus- pense was cleared ur at 4 o'clock by the above announeement. It was stated authoritatiyely.that while the message was of a confidential char- acter, and for that reason could not be given out, yet, as a means - of al- laying possible misinterceptioa, it could be said that the dispatch ahow- ed neithera better condition nor a worse condition on the part of the legationers at Pekin It did not indicate whether Min- ister Conger has or has not re- ceived any messages from this gov- government, Nothing wascontain- ed in the message which will cause change in the instructions to Gener- al Chaffee. In fact, it was stated in this same authoritative quarter that the only additional instructions sent to General Chaffee since he left Washington were those of a more specific andexplicit nature, which the developments in China and the information received by the War Department necessitated. Throughout the day word was anxiously awaited from General Chaffee as to the development of the military situation near Pekia, but not a word came nor did Admiral Remey send anything on the situa- tion. The last heard from General Chaffee he was at HoSi Wu, and ac- cordings to all calculations, he must now be very near Pekin, unless events have occurred to delay the advance. ——- oS Dewett is Hard Preased. Londen Dispatch, 14th, Lord Roberts reports to the War Office under date of Pretoria, Au- gust 13, as follows: ‘‘Kitchener re- ports from Schoolplaats, eight miles east of Ventersdorp, that Dewet blew up three of his wagons. Six British prisoners who escaped trom Dewet’s camp state that Mr. Steyn is confined in the camp under sur- veillance and that Dewet was forced to abandon his ammunition and 30 horses. They also confirm the re- port that Methuen captured one of Dewet’s guns and shelled the main convoy effectively. Ian Hamilton telegraphs that he hopes to be at Blauwbank, today, with his main body. Mahon’s mounted troops are pushing on to the westward.”’ Anotker report from Lord Roberts, of the same date, says: ‘‘Methwen and Kitchener still following Dewet and Steyn, yesterday reached Mod- derfonteia, ten miles east of Ven- tersdorp. Methuenis intouch with Dewet’s rear guard. “Smith-Darien reports that the Shropshires recently marched 43 miles in 43 hours, and the city of London Imperial Volunteers 30 miles in ten hours, hoping to pre- vent Dewet from crossing the Kru- gersdorp-Potchefstroom Railway. Buller’s occupation of Wermelo is having good effect. A field cernet and 182 burghers of the %tancerton commando surrendered yesterday, at Clery.”’ eso TeR eer aie When Negro Suffrage Touched Home, Atlanta Constitution, It might be well for those in the north who are criticising the reeent act of North Carolina to remember some suggestive facts. When the question of negro suf- frage—after the war and before the adoption of the fifteenth amend- ment-—was 2 local question for the Svates of the north, many of them answered the question with a decid- ed negative. Connecticutt, in 1865, gave a ma- jority against it of 6,272. Kansas voted in the same way in 1867 by a majority of 8,938, and Minnesota by 1,298. In October, 1867, Ohio gave a@ constitutional majority against negro suffrage of 50,000. New York rejected the proposal of negro suf- frage for the third time as late as 1868 by more than 40,000 majority. Here was the attitude of the peo- ple of these States on this question, when negro suffrage was an issue concerning themselves alone. —_-> - -- -- Spain’s Rule and Ours. New York Herald. Tvranical Spain gave Porto Rico free markets to buy aad sell in; ‘six- teen full deputies and jour senators to the cortes at Madrid and twelve representatives in the municipal assembly. Contrast this with the government imposed by Mr. McKin- ley anda Republican Congress at the instance of the protectionists— the sugar and tobacco grewers— with the declaration that they are not Americans, but foreigners be- yond the pale of the constitution, and the imposition of a customs tariff upon their products. Is it surprising that the Fourth of July this year was not observed by the natives, or that at the festival observed last week the American flag was conspicuous by its absence inSan Juan, while thousands of Spanish ensigns were flung to the breeze?

Raleigh Post. Senator Butler characterizes the statement that he will take the stump for President McKinley as ‘“‘unqualifiedly false. ”’ As indicated in yesterday’s Post, Senator Butler declares that he will not support Hon. Adina: Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for Vice Presi¢ent. While declaring allegi- the Populist National Executive Committee, which meets August 27, shall name a candidate for Vice President. The attitude of Senator Butler, who is the chairman of the Populist National Committee, makes certain a fight between the Stevenson and anti-Stevenson forces in the Popu- list ranks when the full committee mects on the 27th. Whether a Pop- ulist shall be named as a running mate with Mr. Bryan, or whether the nomination of Mr. Stevenson, the Democratic candidate, will be | ratitied, will be uppermost in Popu- | list circles now. Vice Chairman Edmiston and others are understood to be favorable to the ratification of Mr. Steyenson. Sesator Butler’s attitude is said to have been taken after an expression of opinion as to the vice presidential matter had been obtained from a number of the members of the National - Commit- tee. Senator Butler decided yesterday to make a statement after he read the press report alleging that he would take the stump for McKinley. He received a telegram from the In- dependent, an afternoon paper pub- lished at Lincoln, Neb., asking him if there was any truth in the report printed yesterday morning. The Senator replied as follows: ‘“‘The Independent, Lincoln, Neb: “Report unqualifiedly false. I am for Bryan and People’s Party nominee for Vice President. I am in favor of the committee nominat- ing candidate on August 27. I am not a Democrat. Iam not a Repub- T was not and am not “Marion Butler. Chairman. SS Oo Take Mer Too Sertously, Charlotte News.

Bryan and Stevenson were for- mo'ly notified of their nomination by the Democrats for President and Vice President at Indianapolis, Ind., on Wednesday of last week. An immense crowd witnessed the noti- fieetion and the greatest enthusi- asu) prevailed. Mr. Bryan devoted his speech to imperialism. He spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Members of the Notification Committee: | shall at an early day and in a mere formal manner, accept the no.aination which you tender, and I suall at that time discuss the va- rivus questions covered by the Dem- ocratic platform. It may not be ou’ of place, however, to submit a fev: observations at this time upon th: general character of the contest be ore us, and upon the question which is declared to be of para- mcunt importance in this campaign. When I say that the contest of 1990 is 2 contest between democra- cy on the one hand and plutocracy op the other, I do not mean to say thot all our opponents have deliber- at“!y chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating influence in the affairs of the government, but I deo assert that on the important issues of the day the Republican perty isdominated by those influ er -es which constantly tend to ele- vele pecuniary consideration and ignore Luman rights. THE DOLLAR AND THE MAN. In 1859 Lincoln said that the Re- publican party believed in the man avd the dollar. Thisis the proper relation which should exist between thetwo. Man, the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handi- work of man, is of inferior import- arce. Man is the master; money the servant, but upon all important questions today Republican legisla- tion tends to make money the mas- ter and man the servant. The maxim o! Jetierson, ‘‘Equal rights to all aud special privileges to none,’’and the doctrine of Lincoln that this suould be a government “of the people, by the people, and for the peuple,’’ are being disregarded and the instrumentalities of government are being used to advance the inter- e:ts of those whoare iu a position to secure favors from the govern- ment. NO WAR ON HONESTLY WEALTH. The Democratic party is not mak- ingg war upon the honest acquisition of wealth; ithas no desire to dis- courage industry, economy and thrift. Ox thecontrary, it gives to every citizen the greatest possible stimulus to honest toil, when it promises him protection in the en- joyment of the proceeds of his labor. Property rights are most secure when human rights are respected. Democracy strives for a civilization in which every member of society will share according to his merits, No one bas a right to expect from society more thana fair compensa- tion for the service which he ren- ders tosociety. Ifhe secures more, it is at the expense of some one else It is no injustice tohim to prevent his doing injustice to another. To bin who would, either through class legislation or in the absence of necessary legislation, trespass upon the rights of another, the Demcratic party says “‘Thou shalt not.”’ NEW POLICIES FOR REPUBLICANS. Against us are arrayed a compar- atively small, but politically and financially powerful number who really profit by Republican policies; Lut with them are associated a large number who, because of their attachment to the party name, are giving their support to principles antagonistic to the former teachings oftheir own party. Republicans who used to advocate bi-metallism now iry to conviace themselves that the gold standard is good; Re- publicans who were formerly at- tached to the greenback are now seeking an excuse for giving nation- al banks control of the nation’s pa- per money; Republicans who used to boast that the Republican party was paying off the national debt, are now looking for reasons to support a perpetual and increasing debt; Republicans who formerly abhorred atrust, now becuile themselves with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts, while in their minds, theline between the two is becoming more and more vbscure; Republicans who, in times past,con- gratulated the country upon the small expense of our standing ar- my are now making light of the ob- jections which are urged against a large increase in the permanent military establishment; Republicans who gloried in our independence when the nation was less powerful, now look with favor upon a foreign alliance; Republicans who three years ago condemned “forcible an- nexation’” as immoral and even criminal, are now sure that it is both immoral and criminal to op- pose forcible annexation. That par- tisanship has already blinded many to present dangers is certain; how largea portion of the Republican party can be drawn over to the new policies remains to be seen. THE PIULIPPINE QUESTION. For a time Republican leaders were inclined to deny to opponents the right to criticise the Philippine policy of the administration, but upon investigation they found that both Lincoln and Clay asserted and exercised the right to criticise a President during the progress of the Mexican war. Instead of meet- ing the issue boldly and submitting a clear and pesitive plan for dealing with the Philippine question, the Republican convention adopted a platform, the larger part of which was devoted to boasting and self- congratulation. In attempting to press economic questions upon the country to the exclusion of those waich involve the very structure of our government The Republican leaders give new evidence of their abandonment of the earlier ideals of the party and of their complete sub- serviency to pecuniary considera- tions. ACQUIRED THE WAR WITH SPAIN. But they shall not be permitted to evade the stupendous and far reaching issue which they have de- liberately brought into the arena of politics. When the President, sup- ported by a practically unanimous vote of the House and Senate, en- tered upon a war with Spain for the purpose of aiding the struggling pa- triots of Cuba, the country, without regard to party, applauded. Al- though the Democrats recognized that the administration would nec- essarily gaina political advantage =k the very nature of the case, must ; soon end ina complete victory, they | vied with the Republicans in the! support which they gave to the President. When the war was over and the Republican leaders began to suggest the propriety of a er ial policy, opposition at once mani- mae ‘tect. When the President finally laid before the Senate a trea- ty which recognized the independ- ence of Cuba but provided for the cession of the Philippine Islands to the United States, the menace of im- perialism became so apparent that many preferred to reject the treaty and risk the ills which might follow rather than take the chance of correcting the error of the treaty by the independent action of this country. BRYAN AND THE TREATY. I was among the number who be- lieved it better to ratify the treaty and end the war, release the volun- teers, remove the excuse for war expenditures, and then vive the Wil- ipinos the independence which might be forced from Spain by a new treaty. In view of the criti- cism which my action aroused in some quarters I take this occasion to re-state the reasons giten at that time. Ithought it safer to trust the American people to give inde- pendence to the Filipinos than to trust the accomphemnc. of that urpose to diplomacy with an un- friendly aio Lincola embodied an argument in the question, when he asked, *‘Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? I believe that weare in a better position now to wage a successful contest against imperialism thap we would have been had the treaty been rejected. With the treaty ratified, a clean cut issue is presented be- tween a government by consent anil a government by force, and impe rialists must bear the responsibility for all that happens until the ques- tion is settled. If the treaty had been rejected, the opponents of im- perialism would have been held _re- sponsible for any international com- plications which might have arisen before the ratification of another treaty. But whatever differences of opinion may have existed as to the best method of opposing the colonial policy, there never was any differ- ence as to the great importance of the question and there is no differ- ence now as to the course to be pursued. ‘ The title of Spain being extin- guished, we were at liberty to deal with the Filipinos according to American principles. The Bacoa resolution, introduced a month be- fcre hostilities broke out at Manila, promised independence to the Fili- pinos on the same terms that it was vromised to the Cubans. I sup- ported this resoiution and believe that its adoption prior to the break- ing out of hostilities would haye prevented bloodshed, and that its adoption at any subsequent time would have ended hostilities. If the treaty had been rejected considerable time would have elaps- ed before a new treaty could have been agreed upon and ratitied, and during that time the question would have been agitating the public mind. If the Bacon resolution had been adopted by the Senate and carried out by the President, either at the time of the ratification of the treaty or at any time afterwards, it would have taken the question of imperial- ism out of politics and left the American people free to deal with their domestic problems. But the resolution was defeated by the vote of the Republican Vice President, and from that time to this a Repub- lican Congress bas refused to take any action whatever inthe matter. When hostilities broke out at Ma- nila Republican speakers and Re- publican editors at once sought to lay the blame upon those who had delayed the ratification of the treaty, and, Quring the progress of the war, the same Republicans have ac- cused the opponents of imperialism of giving encouragement to the: Fili pinos. Thisis a cowardly evasion of responsibility. THE FILIPINOS AND IMPERIALISM. Some one has said that a truth once spoken can never be recalled. It is true. It goesonand on, and no one can set alimit to its ever- widening influence. Butif it were possible to obliterate every word written or spoken in defense of the principles set forth in the Declara- tion of Independence, a war of con- quest would still leave its legacy of perpetual hatred, for it was God himself who placed in every human heart the love of liberty. He never made a race of people so low in the scale of civilization or intelligence that it would welcome a foreign master. Lincoln said that the safe- ty of this natiou was not in its fleets, its armies or its forts, but in the spirit which prizes liberty and the heritage of all men, in all lands, ev- erywhere; and he warned his coun- trymen that they could not destroy this spirit without planting the seeds of despotism at their own doors. Those who would have this nation enter upona career of em- pire must consider not only the ef fect of imperialism on the Filipinos, but they must also calculate its ef- fect upon our own nation. We can- not repudiate the principle of self- government in the Philippines aon weakening that priaciple ere. SYMPATHY FOR THE BOERS. In 1896, all parties manifested a lively interest in the success of the Cubans. But now when a war is in progress in South Africa, which must result in the extension of the monarchial idea or in the triumph of a republic, the advocates of im- perialism in this country dare not say a wordin behalf of the Boers. Sympathy for the Boers does not arise from any unfriendliness to- ward England; the American peo- ple are not unfriendly toward the people of any nation. This sympa- thy is due to the fact that, as stat- ed in our platform, we believe in the principle of self-government and re ject, as did our forefathers, the claims of monaschy. If this nation surrenders its belhef in the univer- sal application of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Inde- pendence, it will lose the prestige and influence which it has enjoyed among the nations asan exponent of porular government. WHAT A COLONIAL POLICY MEANS. A colonial policy means that we shall send 3 few traders, a few task- masters and a few office holders, aud an army large enough to sup- port the authority of a small frac- tion of the people while they rule the natives. If we havean imperial policy we must have a large stand- | ing army as its natural and neces- sary complement. The spirit which will justify the forcible annexation - : . . a ss . . ! from the conduct of a war which, in lof the Philippine Islands, will justi- fy the seizure of other islands and the domination of other people, and with wars of conquest we Can ex- pect a certain, if not rapid growth of our military establishment. That a large permanent increase in our regular army is intended by the Re- publican leaders is not a mere mat- ter of conjecture but a matter of fact. In his message of December 5th, 1898, the President asked for authority to increase the standing army to 100,000. 1n 1896 the army contained about 25,000 men. Within two years the President asked for four times that many, and a Repub- lican House of Representatives com- plied with the request after the Spanish treaty had been signed and no country was at war with the United States. If such an army 1s demanded when an imperial policy is contemplated, but not openly avowed, what may be expected if the people encourage the Republi- can party by endorsing its policy at the polls ? NO LARGE STANDING ARMY A large standing army is not only a pecuniary burden to the people and, if accompanied by compulsory service, a constant scurce of irrita- tion, butit is ever a menace toa re- publican form of government. The army is the personification of force, and militarism will inevitably change the ideals of our people and turn the thoughts of our young men from the arts of peace to the science of war. The yovernment which re- lies for its defence upon itscitizens, WANTED. ‘lis more likely to be just than one which has at call a large body of professional soldiers. A small stand- ing army and well disciplined State militia are sufficient in ordinary times, and in an emergency the na- tion should in the future as in the past place its dependence upon the volunteers who come from all oc- cupations at their country’s call and return to productive labor when their services are no longer required—men who fight when the country needs fighters and work when the country needs workers. REPUBLI€AN PROMISES, The Republican platform prom- ises that some measure of self-gov- ernment is to be given to the Fili- pinos by law; but, even this pledge is not fulfilled. Nearly sixteen months elapsed after the ratifica- tion of the treaty before the ad- journment of Congress last June, and yet no law was passed dealing with the Philippine situation. The will of the President has been the only law in the Philippine Islands, wherever the American authority extends. Why does the Republican party hesitate to legislate upon the Philippine law would disclose the radical de- parture from history and precedent contemplated by those who control the Republican party. The storm of protest which greeted the -Porto Rican bill was an indication of what may be expected when the Amer- with legislation upon this subject. Ifthe Porto Ricans, who welcome annexation, are to be denied the guarantees of our constitution what is to be the lot of the Filipinos, who resisted our authority? Is the sunlight of full citizenship to be en- joyed by the people of the United States, and the twilight of semi-cit- izenship endured by the people of Porto Rico, while the thick dark- ness of perpetual vassalage covers the Philippines ? OUR DUTY TO AVOID STEALING. Let us consider briefly the reasons which have been given in support of an imperialistic policy. They say that it is our duty to hold the Phil- ippine Islands. But duty is not ar- gument, it isa conclusion. To as- certain what our duty is,inany emer- gency, we must apply well settled and generally accepted principles. It is our duty to avoid stealing no matter whether the thing to be sto- len is of great or little yalue. It is our duty to avoid killing a human being, no matter where the human being lives or to what race or class he belongs. Every one recognizes the obligation imposed upon indi- viduals to observe both the human and moral law. DEFENCE OF IMPERIALISM. The principal arguments, howev- er, advanced by those who enter up- on a defence of imperialism are: First. That wemust improve the present opportunity to become a world power and enter into interna- tional politics: Second. That our con.mercial in- terests in the Philippine Islands and in the Orient make it necessary for us to hold the islands permanently. Third. That the spread of the Christian religion will be facilitated by a colonial policy. Fourth. That there is no honora- ble retreat from the position which the nation has taken. The first argument is addressed to the nation’s pride and the second to the nation’s pocketbook. The third is intended for the church member and the fourth foe the partisan. THE ARGUMENTS ANSWERED. It isa sufficient answer to the first argument to say that for more than a century this nation has been a world power. For ten decades it bas been the most potent influence inthe world. Not only has it been a world power, but it has done more to offect the potitics of the human race than all other nations of the world combined. Because our declaration of Independence was promulgated, vthers have been promulgated; be- cause the patriots of 1776 fought for liberty others have fought for it; because our constitution was 2dopt- ed other constitutions have been adopted. The growth of the princi- ple of self-government, planted on American soil, has been the over- shadowing political fact of the nine- teenth century. It has made this nation conspicuous among the na- tions and given it a place in history suck as no other nation has ever en- joyed. Nothing has been able to check the onward march of this idea. Lam vot willing that this nation shall cast aside the omnipotent weapon of truth to seize again the weapon of physical warfare. I would not exchange the glory of this re- p»blic for the gtory of all the em- pires that have risea and fallen since time began. The permanent chairman of the last Republican national convention presented the pecuniary argument in all its baldness, when he said: *‘We make no hypocritical pretenses of being interested in the Philip- pines solely on account of others. While we regard the welfare of those people as a sacred trust, we regard the welfare of the American people first. We see our duty to ourselves as well asto others. We believe in trade expansion. By eyery legiti- mate means within the province of government and constitution, we mean to stimulate the expansion of our trade and open new markets.”’ This is the commercial argument. It is based upon the theory that war can rightly be waged for pecu- niary advantage, and that it is pro- fitable to purchase trade by force and violence. Franklindenied both ofthese propositions. When Lord Howe asserted that the acts of Par- iilament, which brought on the Rev- olution, were necessary to prevent American trade from passing into foreign channels. Franklin replied: “To me it seems that neither the obtaining nor retaining oLany trade, how valuable soever, is an object for which men may justly spill each other's blood; that the true and sure means of extending and securing commerce are the goodness and cheapness of commodities, and that the profits of no tradecan ever be equal to the expense of compelling it and holdingit by fleets and armies. I consider this war against us, there- fore, as both unjust and unwise.”’ I place the philosophy of Frank- lin against the sordid doctrine of those who would put a price upon th2 head of an American soldier and justify a war of conquest upon the ground that it will pay. The Dem- ocratic party is in favorof the ex- pansion of trade. It would extend our trade by every legitimate and peaceful means; but it is not willing to make merchandise of human blood. But a war of conquest is as un- wise as it is unrighteous. A harbor and coaling station in the Philip- pines would answer every trade and military necessity and such a con- cession could have been secured at any time without difficulty. WHO WOULD PROFIT AND WHO WOULD SUFFER. Imperialism would be profitable tothe army contractors; it would be profitable to the ship owners, who would carry live soldiers to the Phiiippines and bring dead soldiers back; it would be profitable to those who would seize upon the franchises, and it would be profitable to the officials whose salaries would be fix- ed here and paid over there; but to the farmer, to the laboring man,and to the vast majority of those engag- ed in other occupations, it would bring expenditure without return and risk without reward. Farmers and laboring men have, as a rule, small incomes and, under systems which place the tax upon consumption pay more than their fair share of theexpenses of govern- ment. Thus the very people who receive least benefit from imperial- ism will be injured most by the mili- tary burdens which accompany it. In addition to theevils which he and the farmer share in common, question? Because aj the laboring man will be the first to suffer if Oriental subjects seek work in the United States; the first te suf- fer if American capital leaves our shores toemploy Oriental labor in the Pnilippines to supply the trade of China and Japan; the first to suf- fer from the violence which the mili- ican people are brought face to face|tary spirit arousesand tke first to suffer when the methods of im peria!- ism are applied to our gevernment. quick to note the approach of these dangers and prompt to protest against both militarism and imper- ialism. THE SOLUTION OF THE QUESTION CONVENE CONGRESS. There isan easy, honest, houor- able solution of the Philippine ques- tion. Itis set forthin the Demo- cratic platform and itis submitted with confidence to the American peo- ple. This plan I unreservedly endorse. If elected, I shall convene Congress in extraordinary session as soon asI am inaugurated, and recom- mend an immediate declaration of the nation’s purpose, first, to estab- lish a stable form of the Philippine Islands, just us we WILL to give independence to the Cubans; third to protect the Filipinos from outside interference while they work out their destiny jest as we have protected the republics of Central and South America, and are, by the Monroe doctrine, pledged to protect Cuba. An European protectorate often resultsin the exploitation of the ward by the guardian. An American protectorate vives to the nation protected the advantage of strength, without making it the vic- tim of our greed. For three-quar ters of acentury the Monroe doc- trine has been a shield to neighbor- ing republics and yet it has imposed no pecuniary burde» upon us. Af- ter the Filipinos had aided us in the war against Spain, we could not honorably turn them over to their former masters; we could not leave them to be the victims of the ambitious designs of the European nations, and since we do not desire to make them a part of us, or hold them as subjects, we propose that the only alternative, namely, to'give them independence? and guard trem agaiast molestation from without. A BRILLIANT NATIONAL DESTINY. I can conceive of a national des- tiny surpassing the glories of the presert and the past—a destiny which meets the responsibilities of today and measures up to the posi- bilities of the future. Behold a re- publicsresting securely upon the foundation-stones quarried by Revol- utionary patriots from the moun- tain of eternal truth—a republic ap- plying in-practice and proclaiming to the worid the self-evident propossi- tion: that all men are created equa): that-they are endowed with inaliena- ble rights; that governments are in- stituted among men to secure jthese rights; that governments. derive their just powers trom the consent of the governed. Behold a republic in which civil aod religious liberty stimulate all to earnest endeavor and in which the law restrains every hand uplifted for a neighbor’s ia- jury—a republic in which every citi- zen is asoveign but in which no one cares to wear a crown. Beholda republic standing erect while em- pires all around are bowed beneath the weight of their own armaments —a republic whose flag is loved while other flags are only feared. Behold a republic increasing in pop- ulation, in wealth, in strength and in influence, solving the problems of civilization and hastening the com- ing of an universal brotherhocd-a re- public which shakes thrones and dissolves j aristocracies by its silent example and gives light and inspir- ation to those whosit in darkness. Behold a republic gradually but surely becoming the supreme moral factor in the world’s progress and the accepted arbiter of the world’s disputes—a republic whose bistory, like the path of the just, ‘is as the shiaing light that shineth moré and more unto the perfect day.’’ eas FITZSIMMONS WHIPS RUHLIN. ! Details of a Lively Prize Fight. New York Dispatch, roth. Bob Fitzsimmons met Gus Ruhlin, | the Akron giant, tonight before the | Twentieth Century Ciub,at Madison | Square Garden, and won by knock- | ing the Obioan down and out in the | sixth round. Before the fight, and |} for some weeks past, there have | been many reports to the effect that | Fitzsimmons was too old to cope successfully with his younger oppo- nent. It was argued that Vitzsim- mous’ well-known knowledye of the game and his capability of hard hit- ting would not be able to counter- balance the youth and strength, as well as the recently acquired ring tactics ofthe Ohio man. Tonight, however, all this has been changed. Fitzsimmons did the trick cleanly and cleverly. It was a fierce and bloody battle while it lasted, and at times it looked as if Rublin would vet the better of the older man, but Fitzsimmons, at the proper time, would cut loose witb his fearful body blow, which iina!lly snuffed out the Ohio boxer’s light. Fitzsimmons conceded about 32 pounds to Ruhlir, and this in itself was aserious hand- icap. But as the result showed, Fitzsimmons was equal to the task he had set himself to. and won out with that terrible solar plexus blow which, whenever it landed, sbook Ruhlin from head to foot Fitz left the ring five minutes after he haa delivered the winning punch, but it took Ruhlin 12 minutes to come around sufficiently to be abie to walk to his dressing room. Bull Madden, Ruhlin’s manager,declared that Gus’ defeat was due to over- training. Round 1.—They met in the centre of the riny, both feigrting. Fitz landed a right on the ear, and Ruh- lin countering witha light right on the chest. Ruhlin bored in, putting bis left across the ehest, sending Bob back to the ropes. Fitz broke around and came to the centre qvickly. He fell short with the left and right to body. Fitz then hook- ed left tothe chin and Gus issed. Bob missed with right for the head. Fitz bored in, but in a mix-up Gus beat him off to the ropes with left and right to the face. Ruhlin went at Bob with both hands to the head, cutting Bob’s left eve, and Bob slipped to the floor. As he yot up Rublin, whodid not hear the bell, swung on Fitz’s face. Bob’s sec- onds claimed a foul, but was not al- lowed. Round 2.—Gus was the aggressor. Bob ducked aleft swing and they exchanged rights and lefts on the face and a rattling exchange follow- ed. Fitz hooked his left to the nose, bringing -the -blood, and another rapid mix-up followed. Bob bored in, but Gus methim with left and right tothe face. Both were fight- ing wildly. Fitz scntahard left to the body and followed with right. and left to the body which made Gus wobble and he clinched. Ruh- lin sent a left to the face and re- peated the blow. Fitz shot his left It is not strange, therefore, that]on to the ear and brought his right the labor organizations have been|up tothe body. A left jolt put Gus ot! his feet. Bob jabbed left to face and dropped his left hard into the body over the heart and sent him to the floor. He took the count. Nei- ther of them heard the bell and each was so rattled that he did not know his corner. Round 3—Gus came out yery slowly, but sailed in and exchanged left on the body. Vitz missed a left swing to the head, but followed with a right on the jaw. Fitz hoox- ed a left to the head. They exchang- ed lefts to face. Gus kept jabbing unwil Fitz suddenly sidestepped aud swung his right to the head. Both men were wild, missing several swings. fitz was the steadier and drove a hard right to the body, but Gus countered with a left to the are now establishing a stable form|face.

Towne, who was neminated for the vice presidency by the Populist na- tional convention held at Sioux [alls in May, has sent a let- ter to the committee of notification in which he declines the nomination. In concluding his letter Mr. Towne says: “J may be permitted to express the profound satisfaction which I feelin comtemplating the present attitude of the Democratic party. In 1896 I was of those who, keecly feeling the recreancy of theRepubli- can party, was uch in doubt whether the memorable Democratic convention at Chicago, in adopting its splendid platform and nominat- ing W. J. Bryan for the presidency, was actuated by an impulse or by a purpose. The mezuiticent achieve- ments at Kansas City have settied all possible doubt on that subject. The platform adopied not only re- enacts the principies of 1896, but, in janguaye whose ferce, dignity and beauty have never been equalied ia a similar documeni responds to the new issues presented in the growth of the trust mononoly andthe im- perialistic policy of the administra- tion by an Jappropriate enunciation of those sublime doctrines of human rights and libersies whose profes- sion and observance have been the peculiar glory of our country and are the sure basis of che ultimate hap- piness of mankind And again the duty of carrying tue banner of the cause has been co-imitted to tbat tried and trusted hand whose grasp has never weakered, no fear can make to falter an? no burden can dismay. The leadershipof Bryan, which could have redeemed a bad platform, sanctifics a good one. It made memorable an unsuccessful contest. It will crowna victory with imperishable splendor.” ‘meals =- cool cooks You'll not need to regulate your cooking by the thermometer when you get a Wickless Blue Flame Oil Stove.

' | In arecent issue of the Raleigh | Post that paper copies with evident approval an editorial from the Louisville Courier-Journal the meacing of which is thus expressed. “In politics do that which the ene- my most abbors, and then do it again.” the sentiment. Our enemy in North Carglina most abhors the negro is sue in politics,and with good reason. Whenever that issue has been rais- ed defeat bas met the Republican party. In August the Democrats were given ailmajority of 60.000 on We still bave an elec- tiou this year. Presidential electors and Congressmen are to be elected in November. The Republican can- didate for President is Wm. McKin- ley, now President of the United States. During his present term he has appointed scores of negroes to office in North Carolina The collector of the port of Wilmington, one of the most important Federal appointments ia the State, is a ne- gro; twenty-seven negrees hold pcstotlices in the Eastern towns and villages, and nevroes hold positions iu the revenue service inthe State. Wher it is proposed to hold McKin- ley up tothe scorn and condemna- tion of the people of the State for saddling negro officers upon them, the proposition is met bya storm of Opposition, not only from the Re- publican press of the State, but from those so-called Democratic pa- pers which secretly hope for Me- Kinley’s re-election. The paper which apologizes for McKirley’s ap- pointment of negroes to office in North Carolina, or which would shield him from the condemnation of the people of the State for put- ting negroes over white men, mis- takes the verdict which the people 80 recently gave by such an over- whelming majority against all ne- gro officials in the State and against the white men who would put ne- groes in office. A negro postmaster or revenue officer is as offensive to North Carolinians as negro magis- trates or registers of deeds. Pritch- ard and Butler and Adams and their party associates have been made to take the responsibility for putting nezroes into State-positions. Why, pray, should not McKinley be made to take the responsibility for their appointment to Federal positions ? Again, the Republican party has roeminated men for Congress in the State who have voted for negroes over white men. Will the Raleigh Post and Charlotte Observer say that these men should not be held up to the scorn of the people for vot- ing for negroes ? In the Second dis- trict the present Congressman is a negro, George H. White, probably the most offensive negro in the State. He will doubtless be re- ucmipated. If he is, will Claude Kitchin, the Democratic nom- iuee, not be allowed to raise the negro issue upon him? The negro question will enter the campaign this fall. It can’t be kept out and should not be kept out, Any prom- ises which the Democratic party mede in the recent campaign toelim- iuate the negro question from poli- tics takes effect, of course, with the elimination of the negro voter from politics, The negro is as much a vo- ter this fall as he ever was, for the amendment does not become oper- ative until 1902, and the negro ques- tion will necessarily enter into the campaign. The Democratic party will surrender none of the advan- tages which it has and ‘‘to rubit in- to’’ McKinley for his appointment of nogroes to office in the State is one of the chief of them. Our party will vote for Bryan, who will only ap- point white men to office in North Caroliza, and for the Democratic nominees for Congress, who will rec- ommend white men only for appoint- ment to office. In the words of the Courier-Journal’s editorial, which the Post copies with approval, ‘‘In politics do that which ycur enemy abhors, and then do it again.” - —— ee — Writing at a Distance. The telautograph has come to life avain, this time in England. It will be remembered that an instru ment of this character, designed to reproduce automatically at a dis- tance any movement given to a transmitting pen, was designed and exhibited by Prof. Elisha Gray, of this country, during the World’s Columbian Exposition. For sone reason, whether from lack of a spe- cial tield for the use of the instru- ment, or inability to maintain the instrument in proper working order, it has never come into practical use.

In operation the instrument operates on the principle of varying the resistance in each of these wires by means of a rheostat, and therefore of varying the current. This current afiects that issue. | what is practically the needle of a galvanometer at the other end of the line. the angular movement of which is determined by the strength of the currents, the link-work at the receiving station exactly reproduc- ing that at the sending station.

Wilkinson and Miss Josephine Packard, the former a well known druggist of Dover, Del., and the latter a prominent society girl of the same place, have created a considerable sensation here by the discovery that they were eloping from Dover, Del. Miss Paekard ‘s the sister in law of Dr. Wilkinson; and the two reach- ed here Monday night. registering as Dr. and Mrs J. M. Walker. Inthe meantime inquiry wasreceived from the Northin regard to the eloping couple, ani when Dr. Wilkinson was approached he confessed toall. The Doctor says he will marry the girl witb him and that his wife will have to get a divorce. His intention as stated by himself is to remain in Charlotte and locate here. He is a druggist and says he desires to make that his business in Charlotte, and he has shown much eagerness to know just how the city will receive him. (Since the above dispatch the guil- ty pair have left Charlotte-Mascor.) wo A White Man Placed in the Custody of a Negroin South Lredell. Mooresville Enterprise. While thecampaign was in full blast and the speakers were stump ing Iredell county, and told of the Eumiliating condition of the white people in the eastern part of North Carolina, who were subjected to the official rule of the negro,- our citi- zens little dreamed that a white mao in our vicinity would so soon be placed in the custody of a burly ne- gro. But such has happened On last Saturday uight, August 11, on Mr. H. A. Neill’s place over in Davidson township, two negroes, Peter Vanderburg and Pink Sher- rill, got into an argument with Jay Coggins, a white man, which result- ed in Coyyins shooting Pink Sher- ril! The provocation was said to have justified Coggins for his act in firing on the negro, who was ad vancing with a good-sized stone in his hand. The Hon. J. Marcus Shook, Esq. J. P, issued a warrant for Coggins’ arrest and the arrest was made by Dick Mills,a radical constable, on Sunday morningand the trial took place at the negro’s, Pink Sherrill’s, home About twenty-five white mén and half as many darkies had gathered for tae trial, and it so hap- pened that Esquire Shook and Con- stale Mills had to havea little se- cret conference. Before leaving the house for said consultation, Esquire Shook called upon Dave Mills, a burly negro, to take Coggins, the white man, in custody while the con- fab proceeded. The negro grinned and stepped to the side of Coggins and shadowed him as. per in- structions. This was humiliating indeed to the white man under ar- rest and also went straightto the hearts of the other white men pres- ent. : The point we wish to impress up- on our readers is that Davidson township went overwhelmingly against white supremacy in the re- cent election, and you see what bas followed. What would it be if the entire state had gone ‘“‘ayin us?”’ May the Good Lord be praised! Things have certainly come toa poor pass in Iredell county when a white man is placed in custody of a peyro, when whitemen are availa- ble. We don’t blame the darkey. sc Assaulted The Preacher. Ramseur Special .o Raleigh News andObserver. On the first Sunday in August, the pastor of the Methodist church of this place, Rev. J. F. England, preached from the text ‘‘Amend your ways.’’ He argued that to make progress in the direction of a higher civilization we must demand men of higher characterin politics, in the pulpit and in the schoolroom. The preacher’s strictures on im- moral men iu the school room was particularly obnoxious to Mr D. M. Weatherby, a schooi teacher in the community. He gaye it out that be would flog Mr. England the first op- portunity. The opportunity did not present itself untilon last Fri- day, on account of Mr. England being away. Ono Friday, August 10th, Mr England went tothe post- office as usual to get his mail, when a brutal assault was made upon him by both Mr. D. M. Weatherby and his nephew, Oscar Weatherby. at the same time, and but for the time- ly interference of the friends of Mr. Eng!and, he would have been rough- ly dealt with. The yood people of Ramseurare righteously :ndignaat and do not hesitate to openly con- demnthe dastardly act as brutal and cowardly.in the highest degree. It is expected that when these parties are tried the trial will dis- close conduct that will discredit Mr. Weatherby as a school teacher. “DeWitt’s Little Early Risersare the finest pills I ever used.”’—D.

' Negroes Mobbed in New York City New York Dispatch, 16th. formed at 11 o'clock tonight in front of the bome of Policeman Robert J Thorpe, 36th street and Ninth av enue, to wreak vengeance upon the negroes of that neighborhood be cause one of the race had caused the policeman’s death. Thorpe was | Stabbed and bruised Jast Sunday ‘night by several negroes when he | was attempting to arrest a colored ;woman. The man who inflicted | most of the injury is said to be Ar- | thur Harris, a negro who came here ; several weeks ago from Washing ton. Ina few moments the mob to- night swelled to 1,500 people or , more, and as ther became violenur ithe negroes fled in terror into any | hiding place they could find. | The police reserves from four sta- jtions, numbering 400 in all, were ‘ested out. The mob of white men | which grew with great rapidity rag- ed throuvh the district and negroes, regardless of age or sex, were in discriminately attacked. Scores were injured. Ittouk the combined efforts of the reserves with as many more policemen on regular patrol duty in the four precincts to restore order. Clubs were used until the policemen were almost exhausted Revolvers were emptied into the air and sometimes fired at the upper stories of the negro tenements from which the negroes Gefensively fired bricks, paving stones and other mis- siles. The policeman's body was brought to his home to night in Ninth avenue between 36th and 37th streets. At once the house became a sort of shrine and from all over the vicinity men and women called to pay their respects. Many carried handsome floral offerings. As the night grew on the feeling against the aegroes seemed to grow. The fact that many saloons round about were crowded had its influence, doubtless, on the rising tide of anger. A few minutes before 11 o'clock an Irish woman, under the influence of drink, came out of the place She set ap a howl and began to recite the virtues of the dead policeman. She said the negroes ought to be} killed. Just then a young negro walked by. The white men made a rush for him and he was quickly surrounded. He was beaten and kicked and was _ res- cued with great difficulty. Men and women poured by the hundreds from the neighboring tenements. Ne- grocs were set upon whereever they could be found and brutally beaten. The blacks at first offered resistance but they were so soon outnumbered that they fled without delay. For the next hour the streets were fiiled with a rioting surging mob. It was scene on very much the same order as took place a few days ago in New Orleans New York hasseldom had its equal. The shouting of the men, the shrieking of the women, the la- mentations of the children, the shooting of revolvers, crashing of windows and all made a perfect pandemonium. sash bel ss One Million to HisWife fora Divorce. ‘ ' | Chicago Dispatch, 17th. The gift of William Bateman Leeds, the tin plate magnate, of a string of pearls to his bride in Cleveland was not the most costly part of his second marriage. To ob- tain freedom from his former wife to marry Narcnie May Stewart he is said to have given Jeannette Irene Leeds $1,000,000 in bonds and stocks. He.threatened to go into court him- self fora divorce, and Mrs. Leeds smiled and said ‘“‘Go,’’ but he did not. For five years he had not liv- ed with his wife. Why they sepa- rated is a secret. : Leeds, in the meantime, got on top inthe tin plate industry and controlled several plants that were absorbed by the tin plate combine and became chairman of the execu- tive committee of the pool. He was all business until he met Nannie May Stewart, the divorced wife of Georve E Worthington, of Cleve- land. She is 23 and was married when she was 16, Leeds is 45. The first Mrs. Leeds was ap- proached by her husband a month ago ard asked to namea cash con- sideration to release him from the bond of matrimony. She said, ac- cording to the story, that $1,000,- 000 was not too much for a man to pay who wanted to marry a woman half hisage. Leeds seemed to think his second love was rated at ahigh figure. He tried to*‘bear’’ the price. Mrs Leeds declined to vo into the dickering business The young woman of Cleveland was growing impatient. The chief of the tin plate barons finally sent $1,- 000,000 to his former wife, who was living at the Virginia Hotel waiting for the acceptance. This was on July 31. On August 1, at 11 o'clock in the morning the bill for divorce was filed. Halfan hour after the filing of the bill, the decree. That evening Mrs. Leeds, the first, left Chicago for the East. She is going to Europe with ker boy. Leeds and his Cleveland bride are due in Paris in October. —— > ---—_ Cousins Drown at The Same Time at Different Places New York Dispatch, 18th, Stephen Peacock, son of George Peacock, of Yonkers, N.

CHRISTIANS TO BE INCLUDED IN TUE SETTLEMENT. Washinton, Aug. 17.—A cabinet official sa d today that the native Christia:.~ in China, said to number several thousand, will be included in any arrangement made between this government and China, incident to the cessation of hostilities. At the present stage of the Chinese situation, this subject has been seri- ously discussed by the cabinet, but there is 1.0 doubt, according to this member that the United States isin honor bound to protect them and will sacredly look out for their se- curity, It was stated that while the matter has not oeen formally con- sidered, the indemnity to be collect- ed by the United States will be not only for the families of the victims, but also, probably, to. compensate this gove:nment for the’ expense jt has been put to in prosecuting the campaign. - THE FIGHT FROM PEKIN. London Aug, 17--—-Shanghai dis- patehes suy that Emperor Kwany Su accompanied the Empress Dow ager to Hsin Fu, much against his will, Privce Tuan commanded the rear sruard of the imperial escorts, of which Boxers formed 65 per cent. It was expected that General Tung Fun Siang would follow after the ar- rival of the allies. Ali the palace treasures were sent to Hsin Fu. The4 hearsay acc >unts fur the method of eutry into i’ckin are contradictory, some maintaining that there was se- vere fighting, and others that the entrance wis not opposed. The collapse of Chinese resistance is explained in dispatches from Shanghai as being due to the failure of the Chine-e to flood the country. below Tung Chow. The earthworks connected with the dam at the Pei Ho were uulinished, and tke canal at Tung Chow was fu!l of water, fa- cilitating beat transport when the allies arrived there. Signals be- tween the allies and legationers holdivg part of the wall at Pekin, were exchanved during the morning of August 15.

In 1890 the city of New York comprised all of what is now the borough of Manhattan, and all of what is now the borough of Bronx, except the annexed territory lying to the west of the East river. On June 1, 1900, the joint population of the boroughs of Manhattan and Bronx; constituting two of the five boroughs included in Greater New York, was 2,050,600, represesting an increase from 1890 to 1900, in- cluding the aanexed territory above referred to, of 535,299, or 3533 per cent. To Carry New York. Raleigh News and Observer. The contest in New York over the nomination for Governor assumes national proportions for the reason that a strong State ticket in the Empire State will greatly aid in car- rying the thirty-six electoral votes for Bryan and Stevenson whereas a weak State ticket would probably cause the loss of the State. The nomination of Coler would insure the State to the Democratic party and we reyvret to see the serious op- position to him. The Washington Post of yesterday suggests another candidate. It says: ‘There is gossip about Saratoga these days that Col. Dan. Lamont, Secretary of War under President Cieveland’s second administration may be nominated by the Demo- cratsfor Governor of New York State. Itis urged that Col. Lamont would be acceptable to Tammany, and also to the Democracy from up the State, and therefore would be in more ways than one a formidable candidate.”’ The whole country will hope that wisdom and harmony will prevai) in the councils of the Democracy of the Empire State ard that it will take its old placeat the Democratic table.

The second base is five feet square and on itstands a die block, which is concave, finely cut and upon which is a cap, of fine granite, handsomely cut and moulded. Upon this stands thestatue.

But up to the presegt time, there is no evidence that the allied forces are unmolested at Pekin, or have received the sanc- tiog of the imperial government to, convey the legationers to Tien-Tsin witheut further trouble, and under the gaoditions laid down by fhe cominan@ing genéral. On the con- weary, gil of the dispatches indicate that th allies are meeting stubborn resistance, and there is an entire lack of eompliance with the condi- tions laid down by the United States in its dispatch of August 12. As stated, however, the government has given no autkoritative state- mentof its purpose, in reply to China's application of today, and there is still a shyht chance that complete eompliance with the de- mands of August 12 may be an- nounced in the Pekin dispatches be- fore the tinal determination on the reply is made. But the disposition tonight is clearly in the line indi- cated. The situation at Pekin was made rore clear today from many sourees. he latest adyice appears to be that from Consul Fowler, at Che Fu, re- peating a dispatch received from Consul Ragsdale at Tien-Tsin. The latter reports ‘“‘Chinese troops sur- rounded in palace grounds.’’ The Japanese legation received a dis- patch of the same tenor, but more in detail, stating that the Chinese troops retreated on tke 15th within the imperial palaee, and that they were surrounded there with the Japanese military headquarters lo- caved ix the Japanese legation. Ad- miral Remey also transmitted ao authentic report from Pekin on the 18th, saying, “‘Troops moving on the Imperial City.” These several dispatches from different sources establish clearly that the imperial palaceand grounds were under siege. But not one of be received, an but probably that is the date on which jt left Tien-Tsin. The Japan- ese dispatch also refers to the Chi- nese taking refuge in the imperial palace on the 15th, but does not bting the situation beyond that day, So that the latest information, while showing the Imperial City surrounded, does not disclose the issue of this position, nor how long it has continued. Today's dispatches seem to make clear that the Emperor and the Em- press Dowager have made their ges- cape from Pekin, and that about the only present service of the im perial palace and grounds is as an asylum in which the demoralized Chinese soldiers are making w last stand. The Japanese legation’s ad- vices today showed that the banners of the imperial cortege were seen leaving Pekin oa the 13th, and that probably the-Empress Dowager 65 Lwetl ag the Emperor, had jeft she qty.

Official Chinese advices froin Pe- kin say that Hsu Tung and Yi Lien Yuan, of the anti foreiga party, and Li Shan, a pro-foreigner, have been decapitated, and that Yung Lu has been iniprisoned by Prince Ching. It is added that the Kmperor and Dowager Empress are 60 miles west of Pekin, under the constraint of Prince Tuan. Li Hung Chang goes north imme- diately. Hsu Tung was a member of the imperial secretary and president of the citil board. Li Shan was a member of the ministry of the im- perial household. The identity of Yi Liew Yuan cannot be traced. a <a Chinamen Driven Out by Biners Altoona, Pa., Dispatch, 18th For # week there has been an in- tense feeling in the mining town of Windber against two Chinamen who recently opened a laundry there. Placards have been posted on the door of their laundry and the stairs leading down to their basement habitation have been made a depository for refuse. On Satur- day night the miners held a meet- ing and decided to warn the Chi- namen to leave town. They appoint- ed acomnittee of five, who vester- day visited the laundry and told the Chinamen they must be missing this morniay. The ~Chinamen langhed at them. About daybreak today a mob of | miners descended upon the laundry, dragged them into a tub of starch, one at a time. Then they tied a rope about the neck of each and pulled the pair througn the streets to the edge of the tewn. They were told that if they returned they would be tarred and feathered. The Chinamen have not been heard ofsince. Citizens ofWindber, led by the clergymen, have sent out searchers for the fugitives, announce ing that they will bring them back and protect them to the last. The Chinamen have been inoffensive at all times and their treatment is re- sented by the better class of citi- zens. — oS There was a big fire at Windsor, Bertie county, last week.

Georgetown, Ky., Dispatch, 18th. ‘“‘We, thejury, find the defindant guilty and fix his punishment at confinement in the penitentiary for the rest of his natural life.”’ This was the wording of the verdict rend- ered today in the case of ex-Secre- tary, Galeb Powers, charged with being an accessory before the fact to the murder of William Goebel. The jury retired at 1:32 p. m., and returned its verdict at 2:25, having been out only 35 minutes. Tke vote in favor of a life sentence was unani- mous. Wheb the jury retired, the belief was general that its members would fail %o° agree, and in this opinion the defendant was firmly convinced. When the verdict of guilty was returned, Pewers for the first time during the weary six weeks of the trial, betray- ed his feelings.. Under all of the trying incidents of the trial, he had maintained a changeless expression. The verdict of yuilty. however, ap- parently stagyeredhim He was sit- ting near the door of the jury room and when thejurors knocked on the door summoning the sherriff, his face took on an anxious look. When the twelve men filed into the room and took their seats, aad as Clerk Pean easlled the roll of jurors, the prisoner did not appear to be mere excited than the vast tRrong of spec- tetors, ‘‘Have you madea verdict, gentle- men?’’ inquired the court. ‘‘We have,’’ the jurors assented, and at the same time Mr. Stone, the foreman, passed the verdict up to the clerk, who read it aloud. Pow- ers, always pale, grew ghastly white as the verdict was read and his face betokened great mental anguish. Then somewhat regaining his con.- posure, he turned to Misses Danger- field, who had been in conversation with him, and said ‘tI was not ex- pecting that. The verdict is un- just.”’ There was no sort of demonstra- tion following the verdict and the vast crowd filed out of the court house almost in silence. Powers remained in the court room for some time after the yerdict was rendered, in conference with his attorneys, who will at once move for a new trial, and failing in that, will take an appeal. When the jurymen entered the jury room, Juror Stone, the oldest man on the panel, was elected fore- wan. Juror Porter the only Re- publican on the jury, the first to speak, gaid: “Gentlemen, I am a Re- publican, andI have said that I did not believe Goebel’s murder was the result of a conspir- acy. I did not think Caleb Powers could be guilty, but I have heard the evidence and I am convinced he is.”’ Others also made tals as it is said owe of the jury intimated that he thought the death penalty ought to be insicted.

Si Sein i ns sly aaa atl AS sae A CHOICE PIECE OF SCANDAL. A Satisbury Merchant Runs off With His Milliner —His Indignant Wife Follows the Guilty Couple to Statesville. Statesville was treated toa lively sensation last week. The source of the stir was trouble between Mr. |Geo. Fink,of Salisbury, and his wife. ae Fink isa well to do man who has a large general merchandise store in Salisbury. He came there from Illinois about two years ago. Mr. Fink brought with him from Cincinnati Miss Bessie Yates. She was to have charge ofthe millinery department of the store. Mr. Fink was doing a big business in Salis- bury, and his wife was a very neces- sary part of his force as she did a greatdeal of the buying. It has beeu rumored in Salisbury for some time that Mr. Fink was givirg Miss Yates more attention than a mar- ried man should give a single lady. On last Thursday she took him to task about it in public. Miss Yates became insulted, apparently, and declared that she was going to re- turn to Cincinnati. She did leave Salisbury. Mr. Fink told his wife tnat she had gone to Cincinnati and that she might drop the matter,that he would be good. It would seem that Mrs. Pink did not have much faith in his promise. On Satuday, Mr. Fink told his wife thas he was very mueh run down and in need of a vest, and_that he thought he would take a trip to Mocresville, where he had some friends. He took his horse and buggy and left Salisbury. As we have said did Mrs. Fink ‘not seem to put implicit faith in her other half. She began to make inquiries and found from the clerks that Mr. Fink had not bought his pretty milliner a ticket to Cincin- nati, but to Statesville. She decided that she would come up and learn what she could, She arrived on the Sunday morning train, and found that Miss Yates had been here and that her husband bad been here as well. He took her driving Friday evening and later paid her bill and tock -her with him to the west bound train that night. Mr. Fink left his horse and buggy at the sta- bles of Kerr & Karcher saying he would be gone for a week. Mrs. Fink immediately recognized them as her own. The guilty couple went to Mor- ganton Friday night. They re mained there until Sunday morning, when they moved on to Knoxville, Tennessee. Mr. Fink returned to Statesville on last Tuesday alone, called for his horse and buggy and left. What he had done with the young woman is unknown. It is very probable that there will be interesting devel- opments when Mr. Fink reaches Sal- isbury and is brought face to face with the just wrath and indignation of his wife. A divorce will very probably follow this scandal. We can not see how it could be cther- wise. _—_ Dedicatory Services atthe A. R. P, Church. As announeed in last week’s pa- per the beautiful new church of the Associate Reform Presbyterian con- gregation was dedicated on last Sunday morning. Rev. R. G. Mil- ler, of Sardis, preached the sermon. It was a plain, but masterly exposi- tion of the duty of the church to the world, He was listened to by a very large and attentive audience, who enjoyed his sermon to the ut- most. The dedicatory prayer of Rev. W. L. Pressly, D. D., of Due West, S. ©, was one of the most impres sive parts of the service. He ap- proached the throne as one speak- ing directly to the Father, as one who had no fear of God, but was filled with great love and veneration for Him. Rey. D. G. Caldwell, a former pas- tor, made a few well chosen remarks in regard to the history of the church. Rev. M. A. Smith follow- ed with a few remarks expressing the brotherly loveanud sympathy of the other churcbes in Statesville Rev. L. T. Pressly, the son of the first pastor, was unable to be with the congregation much to their re- vret. The choir was handicapped by the absence of two of their number, but notwithstanding all this the beautiful anthems were rendered in a mest delightful manner. Zev. J. H. Pressly in closing the service publicly expressed thanks to the Congregation Emanuel, who tendered them the use of the syna- cowue after the storm had unroofed their church, and to the other churches in Statesville for their help. The congregation is to be congrat- ulated for their work. The church is a very beautiful edifice, the audi- torium being the prettiest in town. Their number is not the largest to be found in town, but they can measure up with the best when it comes to church loyalty and Christ- ian liberality. As all of us know, Statesville was visited by a very hard wind storm a little over a year ago. The A. R. P. church was very seriously dam- aged, the Baptist church unroofed, the Farmers’ tobacco warehouse torn down, Ash’s tobacco factory completely wrecked ard considera- ble other damage done in the town. The A. R. P. brethren immediately decided that they would not repair the old church but would tear down the walls and erecta new house of worship. As 2 result they now have the splendid edifice dedicated last Sunday morning. The build- ing committee has done hard, faith- ful work which is appreciated by the congregation. They gave ex- pression to this appreciation by adopting by a rising vote, the reso- lutions prepared by the clerk of the session. The committee consisted of Messrs. L. C. Caldwell, J. W. White, T. D. Miller and A. P. Bar- ron. The cost of the church is about $6,100, The fact that such build- ing could be erected for this amount of money is proof that the commit- tee did their work well. Se John Reid, of Shoal Creek town- ship, Cherokee county, was killed one day last week. It is said he had circulated slanderous reports about two of his nephews, Aug. and Ed. Quinn, who, it is supposed, killed him. When found, Reid’s cocked cup and hatchet were lying by him, and there were signs of a violent scuffle. At Asheville Sunday morning at 2 o'clock the police aroused Keziah Wilkes, an old colored woman, to ask where her 15-year-old son was. When told the police were after him she dropped dead. She bad heart ! disease. es AGAIN A DEMOCRAT. Exa-Senator A C. Sharpe Announces That He Will Support Bryan and Kluttz in November, Ex-Senator A. C. Sharpe was in |town vesterday. He tells us that |he will votefor Bryan and Kluttz ithis fall and this is good news. During the campaign for the amend- ment Senator Sharpe made quite a }number of speeches in Alexander, Catawba, Dayie and Iredell coun- aies, and it isnot too much to say that no stronger speeches for the amendmant and white supremacy were heard in these counties. In the election Senator Sharpe voted for the amendment and the entire Demoezratice ticket from Governor Aycock to Township Constable R. Lee Morrison, of Concord township. Since the election ke has been stu- dying the National situation and he has now determined to support Bryan and Stevenson and Congress- man IJXluttz. In an interview with a MAscoT man yesterday he gives the follow- ing reasons for his support of the Democratic ticket: “First--The Republican party has always been unjust 1n its treat- ment of the South, and at the pres- ent time it is highly important for North Carolina that we bave a friendly national administration. This necessity is accentuated by the threat in the Republican nation- al platforzja to reduce Southern rep- resentation in the electoral college and Congress and the menace of a Federal election law contained in that platform. At this time when we have so recently adopted the constitutional amendment an un- friendly Federal administration, such as McKinley’s has proven itself to be by reason of the appointment of so many negroes to office in North Carolina and other Southern States, can nullify toa large extent the ben- efits sought in the amendment. As a Southern man who believes the Soutk the equal of any other part of the common country and who be- lieves in white officers, State and Federal, I can do nothing less than support the Democratic candidates for President and Congress. Second—-After reading mr. Bry- an’s speech of acceptance I am thor- oughly convinced that the danger of imperialism and militarism is a present danger which threatens the fundamental principles of the government. The foreign policy of the present administration, with its forcible acquisition of foreign territory and the forcible subjection of alien peoples to our laws, is con- trary to every teaching of the fa- thers and calculated to embroil our country in foreign wars. When mr. McKinley went into office he found an army of 27,000 men, while the peace fovting of the army is now 100,000 men, an increase of nearly four-fold. Fhe great advantage which our country has possessed over the countries of the old world has been in the fact that the indus- tries of our country have not had saddled upon them a large, useless, unproductive army to feed, clothe, equipand pay. That advantage we possess no longer, and unless a halt is called in the present imperialistic and military tendencies of the Re- publican party the recent increase in the army is but ‘‘a starter’’ to what we may expect inthe near fu- ture. Inmy fjudgment the para- mount issue in American politics to- day is imperialism and its necessary militarism, and on it I agree perfectly with the Democratic platform and Wm, J. Bryan, that party's great leader. I shall take great pleasure in voting for Bryan and Stevenson and Theodore F. Kluttz and will do allin my power for their election.”” ea Miss Maude Turner and Mr. Finger Married. Statesville has been filled with sensations this week. The marri- age of Mr. Gordon Finger, of Char- lotte, and Miss Maude Turner of Statesville was not the least one. They met sometime ago and became engaged. The cousert of Miss Tur- her's parents could sot de obtained so they decided totakt tbe matter in their own hands and marry with- out it. Mrs. P. A. Poston, a sister of Miss Turner, knew of their scheme and encouraged it. They decided that the best thing under the cir- circumstances was to go Salisbury and be married there. Mr. Finger came up from Char- lotte, Sunday morning. He called on Miss Turner that afternoon, Lat- er she started ona walk which the parents supposed would end at Mrs. Poston'’s as Miss Turner had told them that she ‘intended to spend the night there. Instead of this how- ever they went to the depot, where Mrs. Poston joined them. On ar- riving at Salisbury, the went to the Mt. Vernon Hotel where they in- tended to be married that night. There was some hitch as to their get- ting the license, however and it was put off until the next morning. At ¥ o'clock they were iaarried in the parlors of the Mt. Vernon Hotel by Rey. John Waketield. After the marriage the young people took the west bound train tor Asheville wkere they will spend their honeymoon. Mrs. Poston re- turned with them as far as [States- ville. She went immediately to the residence of Mr. W. E. Turner and informed the family of the marriage. his was their first kaowledye of the affair, and to say the least they were surprised. Miss Turner is quite an attractive young lady and she has many friends here who are interested in the mar- riage. Mr. Finger comes of a good family in Charlotte, his father being a well known business man. The Mascor wishes them wuch happi- ness in their future life. —_—-o_--——- Where We Weorshiped. The ‘“‘Seceder Brethren”’ filled the pulpits of the town on last Sunday evening. Rev. D. G. Caldwell, who for six years was pastor of the As- sociate Reformed Presbyterian con- gregation in Statesville, preached at the Methodist churck. The con- gregation and his many friends beard him with much pleasure and rofit. At the Presbyterian church .he services were conducted by Rev. W. L. Pressly, D. D., of Due West, S. C. Hehad a small but attentive audience, who, notwithstanding the almost unbearable heat. followed him in his discussion with great in- terest. f At the Associate Reformed Pres- byterian church, the pulpit was filled by Rev. Neill E. Pressly, a na- tive of this county but who for the pist twenty one years has been a missionary to Mexico. mS oe to his le in a very interesting manner eoncecniig the work of their church in that gountry. Gordon | Amos Moore on the Chain Gang. A Greensboro special to the Char- lotte Observer says: “A. F. Moore, Greensboro’s fa- |mous shoemaker-preacher, he who | preaches salvation in the daytime jand beats his wife at night, has at | last landed on the county roads. To- |day he stationed himself on the jcourt house square and preached long and loud to the discomfort of everybody in hearing distance. A sick man across the way was dis- turbed by the noise, and upon Moore’s refusal! to cease talking he was jailed. When the mayor sen- tenced him tothe roads this after- noon the greasy, fat cobbler ex- claimed, ‘I go praising the Lord.” This is Amos Moore, who was raised in this county and who for- merly lived in Statesville, where he preached on the streets. His mind is weak. i The Celebration of the Twenty-tifth Wedding Day of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Lents Correspondence of The Mascor. On last Sunday, the 19th, Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Lentz, at their home in this vicinity, commemorated their twenty-fifth wedding day with a number of their relatives and friends. It was with great pleasure that we met to congratulate our excellent host and hostess at their silver wed- ding. It seemed to be the happi- est day of their lives. Another feature of the day was that all their children were permitt- ed tobe present on this occasion. There are eight children, five sons acd three daughters, who aided greatly.in making the day more in- teresting. An occasion like this is eminently calculated for the recep- tion of congratulations. Here are two hearts that have beat as one for twenty-five long years without de- siring to be two ayain. We have only to glance at their faces to see that tkeir journey to- getherso far has been a_ pleasant one, and I think we cannot do better than sum up our felicitations by wishing that it may be a long one, and that every future celebration of their wedding day may find them as contented with their iot, and as happy in each other, as they are now. Mr. Ellis, the photographer, of Hiddenite, was present for the pur- pose of taking the picture of the whole family in one group. Mr. Ellis was very busy Saturday, as quite a number had their beauty struck. About twelye o’clock Sunday a grand reception was given in the dining room—the silver wedding feast which was enjoyed by all. Furthermore the pleasure and joy of our host and hostess was greatly increased by many nice gifts pre- sented to them by their fricnds and relatives. After dinner was served their neighbors assembled with them and sang from the Christian Harmony a number of melodious songs, led by Mr, P. M. Raymer. It was closed by singing that appropriate hymn, “God be with you till we meet again.”’ I greatly appreciated the priyi- lege of being present on this occa- sion. Kindest regards and best wishes to all the family. Success to Tue Mascor and its readers. W. Troutman’s, N. C.. Aug. 20, 1900. a News From the Philippines.—A Sol- dier Boy Relates His Experiences. Correspondence of Tux Mascot, Selang, Luzon, July 2d., 1900, As several accidents have happen- ed since my last, I will try to give a few of the details. On May 30th, as the band was returning from In- dan, it was attacked by a squad of Ladrones. Owing to thesmall num- ber of guards and the unexpected attack, the men were compelled to retreat. As the negroes fired the tirst volley three members of the band fell. The mules became fright- ened and the result was q general mixing up of men, wagons and teams, All this time the enemy was pouring @ constant tireon them. As there were only three guards with ten ruunds each, they were unable to rescue the wourded: So they did the best thing they could—came to Selang for reinforcements. When they reappeared on the scene, they found the bodies of Sergeant Sea- mond and two privates badly muti- lated, and their clothing with one hundred and seven dollars taken, But forthe confidence the officers putin these natives, these three men might be living today; instead they slecp in a foreign land under a torrid sun. The cympatny of the regiment goes out to their loved ones athome. There is great indig- nation in the ranks, and the men are anxious to take revenge for the death of their comrades. It has be- come useless to capture these peo- ple, for they are only he'd a week or so and turned loose with two days rations to return to their leaders and resume teir old traits, Talk about a humane war, as I read in some of the papers that it is for the interest of the people. This is a political war, carried on by the party now in. power. All a volun- teer can do is to try to live through it, let come what will. Night be- fore last a wagon train was attack- ed and two teamsters and seven of Uncle Sam's mules were killed. We have heard nothing tedsy. They were pursued by the Second Battal- ion, gs it was just outside of Indan. I have been on many a hike, gone through a great many hardships and have seen a lot of exciting and touching events, but never was I so impressed us when 1 attended the funeral of an amego, or friendly ne- geo. These people bury their dead in graves from two to three feet deep, and are not at all particular about the shape or width. The corpse was unfortunately long for the pit, and the undertaker worked the body in place by placing his foot on the head of the poor unfort- uvate man. Then picking up a lit- tle boy of the deceased, to prevent the spirit from coming back tohaunt them, he threw him on the grave of his dead father. The little fellow wept bitterly, not for the deceased, for these people have no respect whatever for their dead. I see in the Army and Navy Jour- nal of May 12th the volunteers will be pulled home in November after the election. Thatis a olind the Republicans are going to use to win votes. Juston topof this they are calling for fifteen thoysand volun- teers for artillerymen. I will close for fear of intrucing. Iam well and feel finely.

Mr. Josephus Dauiels, member of the National Democratic Executive Committee, returned yesterday from Indianapolis and Chicago. Af- te> attending the notification meet- in: at Indianapolis, Mr. Daniels went with Mr. Bryan and Mr. Ste- yenson and several members of the N-tiopal Committee to Chicago and spent two days at National Bead- g .arters, Speaking of his trip and the political outlook in the Middle West, Mr. Daniels said: “Everything points to the elec tion of Bryan and Stevenson. Ex- cept the handful of Colorado Repub- li-ans—and you can count them be- fore reaching one hundred—every men who voted the Democratic tick- et in 1896 will vote it in 1900, There is not a break in that phalanx of six idahelf million Americans any- ore, Juse the word ‘Americans 1ere in the sense of natives, because t isa fact that in 1896 very few of he foreign-born Americans voted Le Democratic ticket.

Inhalfa dozen States—Indi- una. Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Min- nesota and Wiscensin—-this vote ac- counts for McKinley's majority, ‘How will they vote this year? ‘rhe influence that will operate this year upon this foreign-born element, znd the sons of men born in foreign countries is one that is racial, fun- damental, and which isdeemed vital to them. Many of them left Eu- rope to escape militarism. There every laborer carries a soldier on Here in this country the « li t I bh t t his back. f waee-earner has his own earnings, minus a small tax for a small army. ‘Lue spectre of militarism is one that isiull of meanieg to foreign-born With them imperialism is “the paramount issue’ because it threatens toestablish here the evils and burdens to eseape which they came to this country. Itis the be- lief of the best informed men in the West that fully seventy per cent. of this class will vete for Bryan and Stevenson. In 1896 Bryan did not receive nore than 15 per cent. of it. If he receives fifty per cent. of it this year, Ohio, Indiana, Llinois, Michivan, Minnesota are certain, with a yvood chance of carrying Wisconsin. ‘sYou hear most of the German- American vote because it is the largest and is the most opposed to tarism. At least fifteen per cont. of this vote is Republican; em- bracin ¢ the banking and oftice-hold- ing class, though there are some Cerman bankers who put the pres- ervation of liberty by the consent of the governed above the dollar. This fifteen per cent will be much in evidence in this campaign. They will be wined and dined and have at their disposal as much money as they want to organize ‘‘German- American Republican clubs.’’ Those who will march will be transported trom place to place by Hanna and the attempt will be made to show that the German-Americans are all for MeHiniey. That’s the pro- vramme. But it will not properly represent the truth. I meta lead- ing Republican from Illinois and usked him about the German yote. | had known him for years -and_ en- joved his friendship. I helped to turn him out of office in 1893 and out of that untoward incident we became good friends. He said: ‘The Germans won’t talk. That’s particularly true of the German farmers. Four years ago this time they were outspoken; today, as a rule they are not saying a word and we do not know where to place them. We calculate we can lose twenty per cent. of their vote cast for McKinley in 1896 and still win. But lll give youthe tip: They are keeping the politicians guessing. We don’t kaow what the bulk of them are going to do, though as most of them have generally voted the Republican ticket we hope they will do so again,’ A Democrat,who has been frequently elected to high office in Illinois, told me that it was too early to figure on the per cent. of the German vote the Democrats would get, but he added: ‘We will getenough to win. They will not talk to Republican politicians, but they tell us they will vote for Bryan because they are against imperial- ism™. “In 1892, Cleveland and Steven- son carried Indiana, Illinois, Wis- consin, Ohio and part of Michigan. Why? This German yote was cast for them. It was a surprise to the Republican politicians—a complete ‘throw-down’ so to speak. They knew there was some revolt, but had no idea how deep seated it was. A leading Chicago public man said tome on Friday: ‘There are ten indications of a revolt against the Republicans in this State this year where there was one in 1896. In September the Republicans virtual- ly conceded the election of Altgeld for Governor and said the foreiyn- born vote would be cast for Harri- son for President. This year, you hear it said that Auschuler, the Democratic candidate, will run far auead of Bryan and_ will probabiy be elected while McKinley may car- ry the State. This is born of Re- publican desire to get the Germans, who will vote for one of their own mea for Governor, to vote for Mce- Kinley for President. In 1892 they not only voted for Altgeld, but also for Clevelan@ and Stevenson, and this year they will probably go the whole hog as they did in 1892.’ “Straws show which way the wind blows.’ I met on the train a very intelligent educator who spent the last two or three years abroad, aad as he was passing through In- dianapolis we feil to talking of the great gathering there. ‘I have been astounded at the change of senti- ment among scholars about Bryan,’ he said. ‘Ia 1896 in the college, out of 21 professors, every on2 but two voted for McKinley and one of the two threw away his vote on Palmer and Buckaer. That was the feeling when I went abroad. returning a few days ago I find that 16 of these men will vote for Bryan certain and two others are against McKinley. Whythe change? These men say that thesilver question is not an issue in this campaign and they are against the foreign policy of McKinley that will destroy the citizens. Ay | very mud-sills of the Republic. That , accounts for their change and it is: going to change many more of the quiet, thoughtful citizens than the, politicians know about. ———— a ae ee The Atmosphere Clearing Up. Raleigh News and Observer. We are now at the period of the} campaign when a clearing up of the atmosphere is necessary before the lines are drawn for the great fight on the issues presented by the Kan- sas Gity platform. ‘ In 1896 the national campaign was injured and retarded because in many States there were men prom- inent in the party councils who were at heart, and sometimes openly, against the Democratic nominees. In some States these were not elim- inated at all until they had helped elect McKinley. : There are some newspapers in North Carolina, posing as Democrat ic, that are either by agreement or by chance (but equally as earnestiy) working to help the Republicans carry the State for McKinley. They know—and everybody knows—that McKinley has no chance to carry the State unless all the negroes are voted for him. The program is for these so-called Democratic papers to say ‘peace, peace, peace,’’ while Pritchard and Duncan organize the necroes, and Betler organizes the few Populists who are left. If the McKinley papers could lull the Dem- ocrats into a sense of security, this conspiracy might be carried out, at least to the extent of giving the Re- publicans two or three'Convression- al districts. ‘‘Forewarned is forearmed.”’ This paper has learned the progrmme that a certain political railroad otk- cial, who voted for Me.Xinley and lost $250 betting on his election in 1896, and his henchmen in the three parties have agreed upon, and it warns the true Democrats in the State that if they permit the Me- Kinleyites to choose the issues upon which the national campaign will be fought, they will walk into the trap which has been prepared for them, North Carolina is alright for Bry- anif the campaign is conducted upon the lines that Democrats lay down, If McKinlevites are to make the issues then three Congressional districts may be lost. It is never safe to fight on the issue that your oppovent selects. What we wanat in North Carolina before the campaign really opens is a clearing up of the political atmos- phere. Let the opponents of Bryan and Stevenson—for they are one and inseparable—whether they are 6so- called Democrats or so-called Popu- lists, state where they stand. De- mocracy cannot be harmed by any openenemy. Theonly injury it can sustain is from secret foes. If dur- ing this month the McKinleyites under cover can be forced into the open, Bryan and Stevenson will carry the State by an unprecedent- ed big majority. When the lines are drawn and friends and foes are known—then all the rest is easy. + ee A Virtual Admission. | | Raleigh News and Observer. Mr. W. G. Nicholas, of the Wash- ington Post, who is writing a series of interesting political letters from the West, closes his last letter with this statement: “At neither headquarters is there -xpectation that the vote for Pres- ident next November will be any- where near aslarge as it was four years ago. Some very close figur- ing is being done as to the extent of the anticipated falling off, and who will be hurt worst by it. Democrats claim and Republicans do not deny that McKinley will suffer more than Bryan, hence their anxiety to whoop things up and arouse enthusiasm by the burning of red fire and the pounding of drums. The total vote four years ago was nearly 14,000,- 000. Few look to see it above 13,- 900,000 this year, and the count may be half a million short of that. At Republican headquarters the coun- plaint is apathy, based to a consid- erable extent on supreme confidence in the election of McKinley, a feel- ing which begets indefference and laziness. That tired feeling on the partof Republicans may veat the national ticket.”’ The admission that the vote this year will be smaller than in 1896 is notice that the Republicans cannot stuff the ballot boxes this year as then. In Ohio in that year at least 73,000 votes or more were counted than there were voters iu that State. It wasa_ palpable fraud, and Ohio was carried for McKinley only by this fraud. It is hard to perpetrate the same fraud twice. If the vote is smaller, though the population has steadily increased, the proof of the 1896 stuffing will be complete. So Young Lovers Die Together. Clinton, Mo., Dispatch, Sth. Farmer Jones and Bonnie Turner, two young people living near Coal, a village about twelve miles east of Clinton, were found in a dying con dition ina buggy by the roadside this morning. They died about twe hours later from the effects of mor phine which they had taken with suicidal intent. Jones was about 22 years old and Miss Bonnie was 1S last Saturday. They had been keeping company for over a year and had intended to marry, but unfortunately Jones was kicked by a horse this summer, ne cessitating the expenditure of mon ey he had saved to marry on for medical attendance. As soon as he recovered and found it necessary to leave home in seargh of work the young folks decided that they would rather die together than be sepa rated. They went driving in the afternoon,remaining away all night. This morning they unhitched the horse from the bugg , tied him to the feuce, fastened the lap robe over the side of the buggy top so that they could not be seen from the road, and took morphine. _About 9 o'clock a man passing discovered them. ‘Lhree physicians were summoned but were unable to save them. A note to Jones’ moth- er was found in his memorandum book telling where his picture could be found and asking that they be buried in the same grave, That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. Kinz’s New Life Pills.

He isa Republican. That ought | to be enough. ie What has the Republican party in | all its history done for North Caro- | lina? : In State politics it has given us reconstruction scandals aud _ thiev- ery; itis the author of negro en- franchisement and the temporary disfranchisement of many of the best white men, including such Nerth Carolinians as Vance; it gave us negro rule in Eastern Carolina until the white people in despera- tion have twice risen and by revolu- tionary methods recaptured their birthright of self-government. Those who forced these conditions and made the revolutionary methods necessary are responsible for tbe race troubles, for the loss of time and money incident to long and te dious campaigns, aud for the iaabil- ity of the people of the State to con sider any other problem of civiliza- tion and development except as sec- ondary to the negro question, Who are directly responsible for all this trouble? Theansweris easy. They are the few white men who have led the negroes in solid phalanx against the bulk of their white neighbors and friends for the past thirty years. And who are these white leaders? Ckietly appointees and agents of the various Republican administra- tions at Washington. No administration has been worse in this reyard than McKinley's. McKinley and Mack Hanna, or rath- er Mark Hanna and Mckinley, were tha real leaders ayainst the white people of North Carolina in their recent struggle for white suprema- cy. They are responsible not only for the twenty-seven negro post- masters they appointed, and ‘‘Colo- nel James Young’’ as a conspicuous boss in the Raleigh revenue oftice at our capital city, and for John C. Dancy as the chief representutive of the United States government in the metropolis of North Carolina. They are responsible not only for these and virious other negro ofti- cials, set over the white people of Eastern North Carolina, but. what is as bad, or some say even worse, they are responsible for the white meno whom they have appointed to Federal offices in every county, who, by political association with the negroes and by leading them against their best white friends have kept the Republican party alive to vex the best peopleof the State und to hinder their progress in every di- rection. Let not the record of McKinley and the Republican party on the Force Bill be forgotten. The adop- tion of this measure would have put Federal bayonets at every ballot box where the Republicans could have hoped to intimidate the white Dem- ozrats of the South and thus put our people more hopelessly in the power of the negro than they have ever been. And yet some of those who are open or secret enemies of Bryan and Stevenson, and who ridicule the Democratic platform, and who are giving to McKinley all the support they dare give openly, do not want these facts referred to. They say that the nevro is not an issue in the National campaign. Letit be so. But ifthe negro and negro oflice- holding is not an issue, McKinley and the Republican party, responsi- ble for negro rule and the troubles 3 incident thereto, are issues, and there is no good reason why men who fought like tigers against this negro rule in August in two months thereafter should give their support to the typical candidate and repre- sentative of that party, which what- ever has been its virtues has never been the friend of well wisher of the Southera people. No, the negro is not an issue. But the record of that small army of Federal office-holders who led and used the negro to humiliate the white peopleis an issue, and Mc- Kinley, whose chosen representa- tives these men were and are, is an issue. The people of North Carolina are not going to support a man wko has been their conspicuous life-long po- litical enemy in State and National matters, when they have an oppor- tunity tosupport a man who by his every public act has shown his friendliness to the people of this State and of the entire South. But noone has claimed that Me Kinley’s record on the negro ques- tion or the Force Bill is the chief issue inthis campaign. It is sim- ply one of the many reasons why the white people of North Carolina will oppose his election. Of course the negroes and other Republicans will vote for him. But there are plenty of other reasons why the best people of every Southern State will prefer Bryan to McKinley. McKinley stands for the highest tariff tax ever advocated in the American Congress. Itis yveneral- 'y admitted that a high tariff is the mother of many trusts. McKinley has recently become very silent on trusts. Why? Ask Mark Hanna who collectsa Repub- lican campaign fund from trusts and those whuse profits in business come from the favor of trusts. Since Hanna openly defended trusts McKinley has apparently been afraid of his previous mi!k and cider utterance that some trusts were good and some bad and that the bad ones ought to be restrained. It is a notorious fact that the best friends of McKinley today are the trusts and monopolies of {this coun- try and the trusts and monopolies of the world are in sympathy with him. Finda member of a trust any- where and you find a friend of Me- Kinley and an enemy of Bryan. A min is sometimes loved for the enemies he has made and sometimes the people do well to distrust a man on account of the friends he has made. McKinley was a bimetallist until he became the agent and represen- tative of Mark Hanna and the trusts in the presidential chair. His con- version tothe gold standard - since his election to the presidency is on- ly one of the many instances of his deserting “‘our plain duty” for po- litical expediency. or in obedience to his political masters: McKinley stood for free trade witk Porto Rico until some unseen force, almost in the twinaling of an eye, changed him so that he endorsed the Repub- lican legislation on that subject. McKinley believes in ‘benevolent assimilation”’ and thought that for- cible annexation was “criminal” until forcible annexation became necessary to carry out Republican policies. McKinley at present stands for the principles of imperialism and militarism, both destructive to the democracy of a republic. “He asks Congress for an army of ‘Why North Carolina Should net £0 100,000 soldiers, and proposes to; govern in the islands of the sea by | Berryville, w. Va., Dispatch, 18th. | force instead of by “the consent of) the governed,’’ the principle upon | which this government was founded | and in accordance with which it has | developed for a century. | President McKinley. Mark Hanna; and the Republican party haye taken | their position before the country. Wherever in all the broad world to- day there is a struggle between Money, Monopoly and Monarchy on the one hand against Manhood, Lib- erty and Democracy on the other those who are dictating the policies are giving their sympathy and sup- port to the former. This is Repub- licavism as represented by William McKinley. Yet, without doubt, there are in North Carolina a few people posing as Democrats who are endeavoring to secure the election of McKinley. But the people of this State, even those who do not endorse every detail of the Demo- cratic platform, will not decide to endorce that party and man to whom we owe no gratitude for friendship, sympathy or legislation. The Democratic party and W. J. Bryan stand for human rights above all other rights,forthe time honored principles of Jefferson, Monroe and Jackson. Against the Democracy and Bryan the people of North Carolina are asked to support Republicanism, McKinley, high tariff tax, trusts, monopolies, anti-income tax, gold standard, an imperial colonial poli- cy, and consequent militarism and war in foreign lands, Force Bill rec- ord, the appointment of negro post- masters and revenue officers anda general repulsive and unfriend’y ad- ministration of Federal affairs in the South. Willthey do it? Nay. Not ina thousand years! > <e e A Mixture of Love and Politics. Topeka, Kansas, Dispatch 17th. Freak marriage contracts, based upon the result of the pending presi- dential election, are from various lo- calities in Kansas, but one thatis surrounded with moreelements of. un- certainty than all the others is re- ported from Dudley township, in Haskell county, In 1896 Dudley township bore the distinction of being the only voting precinct in the United States which returned a majority for Palmer and Buckner for president and vice-presi- dent. Haskell is one of the extreme southwestern counties of Kansas, remote from the railroad and in the very heart of the cowboy district. The people living on the plains find amusement in neighborhood gather- ings only. Itisalonely spot, and a social meeting at the school house is attended by young and old. The total vote of Dudley township in 1896 was 21. For president in that year it was divided as follows: McKinley, 3: Bryan, 7, and Palmer, 11. ‘The eleven Palmer votes were cast by sturdy ex-Kentuckians who declined to subscribe to the Bryan policy. When the election was over these 11 Democrats planned a big rally at the school house and invited their mis- guided neighbors who had voted for McKisley and Bryan to join them. The festivities consisted of a supper and dances in which all the popula- tion of the township participated. What these 11 Gold Democrats will do in November without a sep- erate ticket to vote for is the all-ab- sorbing question in Dudley town- ship, and especially since a peculiar marriage contract has been entered into between Miss Lucy Kincaid and John Bradley and Willis Wilkerson. These two young farmers are suitors for Miss Kincaid’s heart and hand. She has long hesitated between them, but has decided to allow them to settle the question at the polls in November, Bradley is an ardent supporter of President McKinley. while Wilkerson is for Bryan. Both are popular young men in the town- ship. Miss Kincaid has ayreed to marry theone who carries Dudley township forhis respective candi- date for president. She said she loved them both and would be satis- with either as a husband. The young mea agreed to the proposition and November 10 was fixed for the wed- ding day, the defeated suitor to act as best man: At first thought it would seem that Wilkerson had the best of the proposition, for in 1896 Bryan re- ceived 7 and McKinley 3 votes in that townskip. But what will the 11 Palmer and Buckner voters do this year? It is said that three of them have declared for Bryan and Verily! that seven of the other eight will vote for McKinley, with one tirm in his determination to vote tor neither. Whatever may be the result it is certain that Bradley and Wilkerson will canvass Dudley as no township in the United States was ever can- vassed before, and while the voters of that locality will beeome enthus- ed over the national issues, it is likely that the result at the polls will turn upon the relative popu- larity of the two young mep whoare seexing a wife rather than upon the issues and policies of the Republi- canand Democratic parties. a> 0 ae Keeps His Petrified Wife. Chamute. Kansas, Dispatch, 17th, For several years J. H. Rickel has kept his two wives in his little car- riage shop here, and the women have never spoken to each other, yet no jealousy exists between them. The reason for this is that the first wife, who died in the Dakota bad lands 25 years ago, is petrified, and is securely packed in a wooden box. The living wife is her husband's constant companion and helps him in the shop, besides doing her house- work. : When Rickel moved from Dakota, several years ago, he exhumed the body of wife No.1 and found it to be petrified. He says it seems only natural that he should want her body as near him as possible. He adds that it is the only thorough case of petrification of a human body in the United States. The form is perfect and the features of the face almost lifelike. Spain’s Greatest jNeed. Nv. R.P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C.

Away up near the head of Eagle Creek, almost in the heart of the | Flat Top Mountain region, two old maids, Misses Lucy and Samantha Hearst, live in a little one-story log; ‘cabin, miles from the nearest neivh- : bor. They have lived alone since’ the death of their father, Alex | Hearst, abou: ten years ago, secm-| ingly happy and content with their! lotin life. They cultivate a few | acres of mountain land, have their | horses and cows, raise the wocl,: card and weave it into clothing, blankets—in fact. they make a!l their wearing apparel of wool or hemp raised by themselves he women are 36 and 42 years old, re- spectively. As that delightful old gentleman, Judge Jim Campbell, of Monroe county, puts it, thev are God’s gentlewomen. They take great delight in raising large numbers of turkeys, chickens and other povl- try, which they sell as occasion de- mands to the lumber camps scatter- ed about the dense forests of Me- Dowell and adjoining counties, for which they receive enough money to keep them in groceries and other articles. Some time ago ‘‘varmints’’ began to raid the chicken houses and tur key pens of the old maids, destroy- ing and carrying off dozens of chick- ets or turkeys in a night. The prowlers, they soon ascertained, were two big catamounts and their progény of half-grown ones. They tracked the Wildcats by the aid of their dogs toa cliff of rocks about three miles further up the creek, but they did not get a shot at them on either of thedozen or more occa- sions they pursued then, A few nights ago Lucy Hearst roused her sister out with the remark that ‘them pesky cat’mounts are in our hen house again, S’mantha.’’ That was enough for Samantha, and ina few minutes the two women, Lucy armed with a pitchfork and her sis- ter with a light axe, ran to the hen house in which a terrible racket was taking place. Lucy had brought with her an old fashioned perforated tin lantern which, as soon as Sa- mantha opened the chicken house door, she set down on the fioor. In acorner farthest away from the door the women saw two pairs of yellow, glistening eyes and caught a glimpse of the gray coats of the intruders. “Cat’mounts, two of ’em; now, you getready with your axe, S’man- thy while I stir ‘em out with the fork,” said Lucy. “Allright, I’m ready,” replied Samantha, but the wild cats didn’t wait to be ‘‘stirred out.’”’ They both gave a scream and sprang at the women. Luckily oneof the cats struck a ben roost in herspring and was thrown backward, or the wom- en would have fared badly. <As_ it was the biggest catamount landed close enough to seize Samantha's skirt in his claws, but a downward sweep of the sort axe and a plunge of the long-pronged pitchfork made him let go and retreat without bav iog done any damage except to the dress of Miss Samantha, which was torn. The catamount which had struck the roosting pole was now on her feet, and with a hiss and a scream she tried it again, springing squarely at the throat of Luey Hearst. Quick as the wild cat was the mountain woman was quicker. She jammed one end of the long handle against the ground and with the right haud turned the pronged end toward the oncoming wildcat, and held it firm and steady asa Mex- ican tigrero would have held his short-handled spear to receive the charge of the Mexican tiger, and, like the tigrero, she caught the brute fairly in the chest. The long prongs were sharp and the force of the spring, added to the weight of the cat, forced the pointed steel clear through the wildcat’s body. Then followed a terrible battle. While Lucy was trying to hold the wildcat down by recovering the pole of the fork Samantha was slashing at the infuriated brute with her axe. She had dealt it one blow, which, missing its head, laid its shoulder wide open, and was preparing to give it another’ when-.the larger catamount having somewhat recov- ered from his rough handling, again made an attack. - As before the at- tack was preceded witha yell anda hiss. The cat jumped, but a wound he had received prevented him from springing straight forwa"d, and to this diyersion Samantha doubtless owed her safety, for instead of li¢ht- ing, as the catamount intended, on the woman’s shoulders, he missed and struck several feet to the left, landing in a nest on top of an old hen, which flew out witha frizhten- ed cackle, confusing the cat long enough for the woman to get in a blow with her axe, which split the wildcat’s head wide open, killing it almost instantly. Meanwhile the old female cat which had been per- forated with the pitchfork and chop ped so severely with the axe, made one more attempt to attack. Before Lucy was aware of the cat’s move- ment, in the semi-darkness of the hen house, the latter caught her by the sleeve of her dress and tore great strips, tearing her left arm from the elbow to the wrist The cat failed to get a hold with her teeth, but could have done so a sec- ond later but for Lucy’s sister, who, seeing Lucy’s plight, whirled the light axe over her head and struck the catamount just behind the shoul- ders, severing its vertibrae. That ended the fight. Both cata- mounts were dead and the women escaped with a badly torn arm on the part of Lucy and two ruined dresses. A dozen chickens were ly- iug dead on the floor by the side of the catamounts. The next day with the aid of a couple of timber cutters, a raid was made on the cliff of rocks and the den was found. Four half- grown Catamounts and five kittens were killed, entirely wiping out the catamounts of that region. Lucy and Samantha Hearst are now the heroines of Flat Zop Mountain. Does it Pay to Buy Cheap? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, Dut you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and dangerous re- sults of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go toa warm- er and more regular climate? Yes, if possible; if not possible for you, then in either case take the ony remedy that has been introduced in all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “‘Boschee’sGerman Syrup.”’ It not only heals and stimulates the tissues to destroy the germ disease, but al- lays inflammation, causes easy ex- pectoration, gives a good night’s rest, and cures the patient. Try Murder Hearing on a Train. i | Louisville, Ky., Dispatch, 17th. Jesse Lawrence Durham, who murdered his aunt, Mrs. Annie Brunton, in Meade county last week, had a record breaking hearing yes- terday afternoon iu the baggage car of a train running at the rate of 50) miles an hour. At11 o'clock yes- terday morning Ccunty Judge Wool- folk, of Meade county, Sheriff Hagen and several deputies left Branden- burg for Louisville. At 2:35 0’clock they were on their way back to Meade county with their prisoner, intending to try him as he passed through the county. The original plan was to take the prisoner over the Louisville, Hen- derson & St. Louis road. Just be- fore the train started a telegram was handed toJudge Woolfolk, say- ing that a mob ha? formed at Wil- lowdale, through which the train had to pass. Atonce a shift was made under steam at the Seventh street station and which passed through one corner of Meade county a mile and a half in extent. When the border line of Meade county was reached the prisoner was transmitted from the day coach to the baggage car. The doors were closed, the judge, sheriff and depu- ties for the defence took their places With arms in their hauds, determin- ed to beat off any attack in case the mob had learned of the change in the plans. The lawyerfor the de- fence whispered to his client and then announced that his prisoner would waive preliminary trial. Judze Woolfolk ten held Durham over to the Circuit Court of Meade county without bond. The entire proceedings lasted less than four minutes. When Muldraugh was reached and the train passed into Hardin county the officers and the prisoser re-en- tered the day couch. At the vext station they caught the returning train andat 7:30 o’clock yesterday evening Duvham was once more in the Jefferson county jail. J.C.

Barring a few ex- traordinary cases. crime as a pro- fession is uniformly unsuccessful A man may make sume thousands of dollars by a burglary or a forgery, but as a general proposition it may safely be affirmed that within a few months he will be captured and con- victed. Aftera few years in the penitentiary he may have served out his time, escaped or obtained a par- don. When he goes out nobody wants him in any position of trust, and his repuaation is such that he can get no place cf trust. But his habits have been such that he de- sires large returus for his work,and he will soon be in jail again on his way to the penitentiary. This will be repeated until he becomes so ac- customed to invcluntary confine- ment that be does not feel at home auy where else. qe OF CARDUI!

Fer Conzress—th District: Turopore F. hKiurrz, of Rowan. THE SENATORSHIP. We print today Hon. F. M. Sim- rons’ formal anuouncement of his candidacy for United States Sena- tor. He says that be will put in his time as State chairman working for Bryan and Stevenson and the Dem- ocratic nominees for Congress and uny speeches which be makes will be for the Democratic party and not for himself. He trusts his individ- ual interests to his friends and the Democrats of North Carolina gener- ally, and they will be taken care of. Simmons is still at the helm, and North Carolina’s electoral vote will be for Bryan and Stevenson and nine Democrats will be elected to Congress. The Democrats of the State will see to it that our devoted chairman's interests do not suffer while he is devoting his time and cnergies for the party good. General Julian S. Carr, who has already announced his candidacy, und ex-Senator Jarvis and ex-Con vressman Waddell, who are expect- cd to enter the race, are all men whose abilities and services to the Democratic party make them wor- thy of the Senatorship, but in re- eent years Mr. Simmons has been pre-eminent in the services he has rendered to North Carolina and the Democratic party. In the dark days of the beginning of the cam- paign of 1898, when well-informed men of all parties felt that Demo- cratic suceess was impossible, it was Simmons who planned the Demo- cratic campaign and executed it with a wisdom and courage never equall- ed iv all our political history. Un- der bis leadership a magnificent vic- tory was snatched from seeming certain defeat, and the constitution- al amendment and permanent white supremacy, so recently secured, were made possible. With conceded abil- . ity and loyalty to the principles of the party, pre-eminent services to the Stato aud the party apd a pecu- Har Stnegs for she place, Sim- rggns deserves the Senatorship. From talks with many of the lead- ing Democrats of North Carolina and noting the position of the news- | papers of the State, itis our opinion that Simmous will be nominated in the primary on November 6th. by a very large majority over all his op- ponents. The people have already picked out the man who deserves to be Senator and Simmons is the man. The people vote on this question and he will be elected. _ Ee ee By a decisive vote the Populist National committee turned down Chairman Marion Butler and en- dorsed Adlai E. Stevenson, the Dem- ocratic nominee for Vice President. The Democrats, Populists, Silver Republicans, Monetary League and Anti-Imperialists all have the same candidates and the union of thecom- bined forces in the Northern and Western States is complete. What eourse Sevator Butler will now take is not known, although we _ believe the great bulk of North Caroliva Populists will support Bryan and Stevenson. This action of the Pop- ulist committee simplifies the situ- ation aad puts the trans-missouri States into the certain column for Bryan. _— ooo - Congressman Boutelle, of the Fourth Maine district, is hopelessly insane and confined in an asylum, but his Republican constituevts re- nominated him the other day and he will doubtless be elected. For six- teen years he has been the member of Congress from that district and is wonderfully popular with his Re- publica constituents. His renomi- nation under the circumstances is a touching piece of sentiment but en- lirely wrong. Men are supposed to be elected to office to perform cer- tain dutiesand when they cannot perform those duties they should not be elected. the country there is no other case of this kind and it should not be repeated. i The amendment was defeated by 1349 in the Sth Congressional dis- trict, while Adams carried the dis-' trict by only 208. There was a ma- Jerity of 3,027 against the amend-. ufent and 384 against Aycock in the Sth district.

Chairman Simmons gare out the following today: To the Democratic Voters of North Carolina: More than a year ago, in reply to a letter written to me by the editor of the Agheville Citizen, inquiring whether J would be a candidate for the United States Senate to suc- ceed Marion Butler, I stated that I was a candidate and would be pro- foundly grateful to the voters of my party if they should see fit to elect me to that exalted position. My reply to the Citizen was not only published in that paper, but was generally copied by the press throughout the State. This declaration, together with the general understanding that I was a candidate, I had supposed would preciude the necessity of any further announcement of my candi- dacy, but letters of inquiry upon this subject recently received would seem to make it proper for me to again make the announcement of my candidacy before the primaries to be held on the 6th day of Novem- ber, As chairman of the Democratic Executive committee, my first duty will be to the party, and from now until the election in November 1 shall devote my time exclusively to the work of aiding the election of Bryan and Stevenson and the Dem- ocratic nominees for Congress. shall, therefore, have but little time to devote tothe promotion of my own interest. After the campai¢n is thoroughly organized, I may be able to make a few speeches, but they will be made for the party and its nominees. Under these circumstances, 1 commit my cause to my friends and supporters in the different counties and precincts with entire confidence that they will not permit it to suffer from neglect, either in the canvass or at the pells. If their efforts are in vain, IT shall be none the less ap- preciative. If they are rewarded with suecess, I cannot better attest ny gratitude than by bringing to the discharge of the duties that will devolve upon me all the virtues of head and heart I may possess. Very respectfully, Raleigh, 28th. PF. M. Sr0Ns. D+ oS Stevenson Endorsed by Populists.— Sen. Butler Advoeated Leaving Place Blank. Chicago Dispatch, 27th. At a meeting of the People’s par- ty national committee today, the declination of Charles A. Towne as the vice presidential nominee of the party, after a lone debate, was ac- cepted, and the name of Adlai E. Stevenson was put in his place. In the beginning there were three courses advocated by different mem- bers of the committee, viz: To nom- inate a Populist, to leave the place blank, or, lastly, to endorse Mr. Stevenson. Senator Marion Butler, cheirman of the committee. in a warm speech of some length, adyy- eated leaving the place blank, eon- tendtog that Bryan and Stevenson would Receive more Populist votes thanifa candidate for Vice Presi- dent was named. but on this no vote was taken. A motion was made to endorse Mr. Stevenson. For this motion Mr. Washburn, of Massachusetts, moved as a substitute that a Popu list be placed on the ticket. The substitute was lost on a eall of the roll by a vote of 24 ayes to 71 nays. The original motion was then adopt- ed by a viva voce vote. There were 124 members of the committee pres- ent, or represented by proxy. - — oe --_ - 7 AMill Swallowed by aCave-lIn Galena, Kan., Dispatch, 24th.

Washington Dispatch, 26th. After several days intermi-sion in Chinese advises. the government to- day received two dispatches which presumably bring its advices up to the most recent date. There are indications that the principal de- lays in the lines of communication are encountered betwen Tien Tain and Pekin, a fact explainable by the newspaper advices that small bands of Boxers are operating on the line of communication of the Pekin- campaign force Just such in’erfer ence with the work of the signal corps men was experienced by the United States in the Phiippines and by Lord Roberts’ troops in the Transvaal campaign Usually these interuptions are very short, the murauders being driven off and the lines restored witbin a day or two. The fact that more than a week was covered by the best interuption wives vise to the belief bere that these attacks upon the lines of com- munication bv Boxers are more for- midable thanwas supposedto be pos- sible, after the heavy losses inflict- ed upon them by the international forces in its advance’ The impor- taut dispatch of the day was one from Minister Conger, telatiyg to the military sitnation in Pekin.

Two thousand Ger- mans arrived today, Concer” This dispatch is undated, but from the fact that it mentions the arrival of a German force at Pekin, which has not yet been reported from any other quarter, itis presumed to be of very recent origin. London Dispatch 28th.--The allies, resuming aggressive operations, have taxen the district west of Pe- kin. This statement, based on Chi- nese authority, is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place comes the further statement that Li Hung Chang has wired the Empress Dowager at Hsian Fu, requesting the arrest of Prince Tuan and the disarmament of the Boxers, in order to give him an openiny for negotia- tions witk the powers. The illumi- nations projected at Shanghai in celebrations of the relief of Pekin have been abandoned, lest they should cause a native outbreak. “Evidence has been received here,”’ says the Shanghai corres- pondent of The Standard. “going to show that General Young Lu was the real author of the anti-foreign outbreak, the Empress Dowager, Prince Tuan and the others all hav- ing been persuaded by him to take an extreme attitude, while he stood aside and awaited developments. ”’ The American refugee missionaries in Ainoy, according to the Hong Kong correspondent of The Daily Mail, are anxious to return to the in- terior; but the United States consul has forbidden them todo so, and urges them to go to the Phillip- pines, or to return to America. Shanghai advices to The Daily News say that consular opinion that looks upon Japanese action in the landing of troops at Amay, de- spite the protests of the consuls, as similiar to Russia, at New Chwang, the whole indicating a tendency to partition of the empire. “Russia journals agree,’ says the Moscow correspondent of The Stand- ard, ‘that itis impossible to deal with China in the spirit of revenge, as suggested by Emperor William. They believe that methods less dras- tic can better accomplish the ends of Russia in Manchuria. The question would be satisfactorily settled to Russian minds by the seisere of the northern Provinces. " Se mews . Boces Lose que of their Base Mightcrs. London Dispatch, e7th. The War Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Rob- erts, dated Belfast, today: “The Boers have been back by Bruce Hamilton at burg. General Olivier bas captured.’ The text of Lord Roberis’ dis patch shows that three of Olivier’s sons were also captured in the at- tack which the Boers made from three sides on Winburg. Lord Rob- erts adds that General Olivier was ‘the moving spirit among the Boers in the Southeast portion cf the Orange colony during the war.” The following dispatch was sent today by Lord Roberts: ‘Belfast, Suaday, August 26 --En- goed the enemy the greater part of the day over a perimeter of rearly thirty miles. Littleton’s division of two brigades of cavalry, ali under Buller, operated southwest of Dal- manutha. French with two bri- gades of cavalry, moved northwest of Belfast. As soon as French reached Lekenly, Pole-Carew ad- vanced from Belfast in support. The enemy, in considerable strength opposed Buller’s and Pole-Carew’s advance. He brought three long toms and many other guns and pom- poms (quick firing guns) into action. The firing until dark was hot and persistent. Buller hopes his casual- ties will not exceed forty. Pole- Carew has not yet reported. The Boers are making a determined stand. They havea large number of guns, the country is difficult and well suited for their tactics and is less favorable to cavalry than any we have hitherto gone over.” a Populists Sued Kor Libel Goldsboro Special, s7th.

MOB LAW IN ILLINOIS. Result of an Atttempt to Lynch a Weman Doctor. Gilmam, Ill, Dispatch, 27th. Two men killed, three wounded, two of them probably fatal,a woman shot and a burned dwelling-hnuse are the results, as faras known. of the night's work of amob bent en lynehing Mrs. C. W. Wright, a wo- man physician, who is accused of causing tha death of Bessie Salter, a 16-year-old girl, through a crim- inal operation at her private hos- pital. Miss Salter was secretly buried Saturday. The girts body was ex- humed yesterday and a coroner's jury declared she had been murder- ed. «A warrant was at once sworn out for the won:en’s arrest, and Constable Joho Molstead. with a posse of citizens went to her hospi- tal to place her under arrest. After repeated demands ia the name of the law, the door was brok- en open. Six or seven men entered adark room. They were opposed by alocked door. After more de- mands for admittance, the seeond door was broken open. No sooner had it swung in than there were two pisvol reports, and Michael Ryan fellto the floor. He was carried out and into a neighboring house, where he died in a few minutes. The constables and depaties beat hasty retreat, and 4s they ran three more shots ware fired ater them. Dennis Carr received a shst in the leg, but it is notserious. The news of the killing aroused the citizens, and a large crowd gathered around the woman’s house. threatening to burn it to the ground if she did not give herself up. The request was refused, and at inidnight the mob made an unsuccessful attempt to burn the building. There was a cessation of hostili- ties from midnight till 2 o'clock this morning when a fusillade of shots announced another attack on the house. The arrival of Ryan’s family increased the fury of the mob. Piles of straw were laid against the south wing cf the house and lighted. One or two shots were fired from the inside, but there was no attempt at a general defence. lt was the intention to fire the house in order to drive out the inmates and then put out the fire, but the beseigers waited too long. When the water was turned on the inside of the house was seething with flames. Pickets were stationed around tke house. Just before 3 o’clock a fresh fusillade broke out from a mass of under- growth on the west side of the house showing that some of the defenders had reached that point. The first victim of the defenders was George Willoughby, local agent of the Stan dard Oil Company, who received a | bullet through the left side, slightly j below the heart. A moment later | Peter Hauer, a carpenter, was found lying wounded in an alley back of the thicket. He was dragged out and it. was discovered that he had been shot in the stomach. Mrs. Wright was lying near by shot through the right shoulder. The byllet took a downward course and the wound is betieved to be \fatal. The wouaded woman was at |once taken to the council chamber and physicians called. At 10 o’clock she had not recovered consciousness. {The mob dispersed. No other in- mates of Mrs. Wright’s hospital have been found. The house was destroyed. OOo ee The Soath Carolina Democratic Pri- maries. Columbia, 9. C., Dispatch, xth. The Democratic primary in this State today has been attended gby raany surprises. The general elec- tion is a mere radification of the pri- mary, and all interest centers in the latter. The issue has been dispen- sary or prohibition. Colonel James A. Hoyt, of Greenville, was the pro- hibition nominee, and the dispensa- ry was represented by Governor M. B. MoSweeney; F. B. Gary, Speaker of the House of Repramentatives: A. Howard Patterson, ep& Rev. “Walt Whitman. The latver has been a candidate for office 18 years and nev- er elected. A canvass of the entire State was made, each of the forty counties being visited. The pro- hibitionists assailed the dispensary, and the champions of the dispensary fell out among themselves. Patter- son viciously attacked Governor Mc- Sween;, who became Governor on the death of Governor Ellerbe. Senator Tillman who claims pa- ternity for the dispensary, came in- to the campaign and fought Colonel Hoyt. Asaresult of this interfer- ence Tillman’s name has_ been scratched by 20,009 voters today, although he has no opponent. Col- onel Hoyt, the prohibitionist leads in the first race. He w'll probably lead McSweeney by 10,000 votes. There will be a second primary two weeks from today, and the issue be- tween Hoyt and McSweeney will be close. A surprise was the large vote re- ceived by J. H. Tillman for Lieuten- ant Governor. He is a nephew of the Senator. He will run it over with Colonel John 7. Sloan. State Treasurer Timmernran‘is de feated by Captain R. H. Jennings. Allother State officers succeed them- selves. The rage for Congress shows Talbert, Stokes and Elliott succeed themselves without opposition. Fin- ley will be beaten by Strait: Stan- yarne Wilson by Jos. T. Johnson and James Nortoa by Lieutenant Governor Scarborough. It is evi- dent that Latimer will succeed him- self ayainst two opponents. These calculations are based upon reports received at State headquart- ers and are not complete, but are evidently indicative of final . re- sults. DP ae Se People in Hyde County in Danger. Raleigh Special, 27th. Dr. William R. Capehart, of the State board of a riculture, arrived here today from Bertie county and says the enormous fire in Hyde county continues and is destroying trees and soil. The soil is peaty and burns like timber. One farm valued at $10,000 is so burned away that its owner says it 18 not now worth #100. The fire is burning far underneath the sur- face in many places. Dr. Capehart is informed that as a farmer was driving along a high- way the fire undermined soii gave way under him and he and his horse falling into the tiery pit, were burn- ed to death. The smoke extends many miles at sea and by obscuring the light at Oregon inlet has caused two wrecks in a fortnight.

City Prisonand Jail Stormed by a Mob Determined to Kill a Negro. Akron, Ohio, Dispatch, 24th. Between 1 and 20’clock this morn- ing, Officer John Duffy arrested a colored mao who during the day, confessed to Prison Keeper Washer, of having attempted to assault Christina, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theo. Maas, indus- trious and respectable people who live on Perkins’ Hill. The prisoner had givea his name as Louis Peck. He is about 46 years old, married and recently moved here. The sto- ry of his confession spread like wid tire through the city and officers learned that an attempt would be made tonight tolynch him. In the police court today, Peck pleaded guilty and was bound over to the Common Pleas Court. His bail was placed at 35,000. Several thousand people are ready tonight ®o lynch Peck. A large crowd gathered about the city pris- on at 7:30 o clock and forced in the doors. The prison was soon packed with the mob and the officers offered no resistance, as Peck, earlier in the evening had been quietly taken away toCleveland, To satisfy the mob, the officers suggested that a committee of six be appointed to seaureh al] the cells and go through every part of the building. This was done and as the negro was not found, a yell was made ‘Now for the county jail!’ “Give us the big: per, and we will deal with him! A mad rush followed for the jail and soon the jail was in the hands of the ' arrived in the city and marched to the scene of last night’s riotiny. Shortly before 10 a’clock Mayor Young issued a proelamation _Clos- ing every saloon ia Akron until fur- ther orders. One killed, one fatally injured, and 20 persons more or less injured, is the result of the mob’s work. Glen! Wade was shot and almost instantly | killed. He wasin the mob, and 4) bullet from the revolver of a police- maninthe city hall struck him. The lad was only 11-years of age. Rhoda Davidson, the 7-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. . M. vidson. her mother and father on the out- | skirts of the mob, a stray bullet} struck her in the head. No hope is | held out for ber recovery. { The resistance shown by the po- | lice officers and city officials in pe city Kall only served to lash the mob | into greater frenzy. Failing in ite | effort to force an entrance into the, city hall a portion of the mob ran to} the store of the Standard Hard ware | Company, on Main street, about one} and a half blocks from the scene of the rioting. Revolvers, rifles, shot- Suns, razers and thousands of} rounds of ammunition were taken t and with these weapons the mob re- turned to the city hal], where the city officials were haranguing with the mob. Adjoining the city ball, which Woe Constructed almost entirely of brick was an immense building which for many years past was the principal public hall in Axron. This building was set atire. The various fire companies responded to the mob. After going through the pri- vate apartments of the jail the crowd started to batter down the big iron doors. Deputy Sheritf Stone stood in front of the prison dobrs, and made speech. He in- formed the crowd that Peck could not be found in there and he told the alarm, but the mob refused to per- mit them to work. Columbia Hall was soon aruin, but the city hall was yet standing. Flaming embers were thrown into the different rooms and the building was soon burning. Some of the more thought- fulones in the mob liberated the people in the mob to select a com- muttee and he would allow the com- uuittee to search the jail from top to bottom. A committee was quickly selected and the jail was searched, every cell being examined. Satisti- ed that the negro was not there, the mob then rushed across the street und forced open the doors of the county court house. The old court house was soon packed and all rooms searched except the roems in the treasury department. The city prison was again sur- rounded and hundreds of people prisoners from the cells below the hall. <A stick of dynamite was thrown into the front of the burn- ing building, a terrific crash follow- ed and portions of the wall crumbled away like dust before a breeze. Another charge was exploded and the work of devastation was com. pleted. At +4 o'clock this morning the rioting had practically ceased. During the day wild rumors were current that mobs were being form- ed to go to Cleveland and lynch Peex, but there was no good ground for Another innocent who will die is!

He is an honest and upright manand them. The arriyal of the troops forced their way into the prison for the second time, insisting that the negro was there. Mayor W. E. Young at this time appeared at one of the windows in the upper part of the building. He addressed the mob | as best he could, saying that Peck | had been taken out of the prison at | 4 o'clock by Sheriif Kelly, and driv- | en out of the city in a closed car- | viage. The peoplein the mob would not believe the mayor, and contin- | ued to yelland demand that Peck | be surrendered. At 10 o'clock the mob began for | the third time to attack the city prison, Some one in the crowd be- van shooting at the building. This | was followed by several more shots. | The officers in the building appeared | ai the windows aad began to shoot over the heads of the people. A man witha shot-vun then fired at the onicers. It is said that several offi- cers were wounded. The crowd then began to smash inthe windows of the city building and the tiring became general. Hundreds of shots were exchanged and one boy, name unknown, was carried dead from the street. It is certain that doz- ens of men were wounded. Mayor | Young is yet in the building and is} directing a call for the militia. All the ambulances of the city have been called out and the excitement has become intense. The front of the city building is a total wreck and the fire bells are Yinging. At 10:45 p. m., Prison-Keeper John E,. Washor came from the city building and he was knocked down by abrick. He was badly injured about the head and had to receive medical attention. Itwas known that two persons were twstantly killed and arother persen is dying at the city hospital. The dead are: Glen Wade, aged 10, shot through the beart: John M. Davidson's 4- year-old child, shot dead in a baby carriage.

Another man, whose name could not be learn- ed, but who is a driver for the Amer- ican Express Company, was shot in the leg. Shortly after midnight the mob broke into a hardware store and stole all the firearms and ammuni- tion they could tind, including guns, ritles and revolvers, and proceeded to the city building and Opened fire on the defenders and finally set fire to the Columbia Hall, which adjoins the city building. They will, no doubt, set fire to the city building before morning as the flames are spreading rapidly. FURTHER DETAILS When day dawned in Akron this morning, it revealed a scene of des- olation and the evidences of violence aud lawlessness unparalleled in the history of the city. The Tioters had done their work and had dispersed. One child was lying cold in death and nearly ascore of persons were suffering from the wounds of pistol balls, buckshot and missiles. The city building was a heap of smoul- dering ruins and beside it steamed the water-soaked ashes of Columbia Hall. At 6 o'clock the crowds be- San to increase as the curious spec- tators hurried to the scene of the trouble. A policeman appeared and then another, timid at first, but with increasing assurance as no yi- olence was offered. Then Company C, of Canton, a detachment of the gallant Kightk Ohio Regiment, marched down the street from the train and, halting before the ruins of the building, was at Once set to patroling the tire lines. There was ro evidence of ill-will or disquiet on the part of the crowds at the lines. There was no talk of Violences. The turbulent element had Slunk awa with the coming of daylight and or- der was once more fully restored after an awful night of terror and anarchy. At 6:300'clock this morn- ing Gompany C, Eighth Regiment, of Canton, under command of Cap- tain A. Fischer, arrived in Akron under riot orders. The soldiers were metin the Valley depot by Mayor Young and a party of city officials. They were marched imme- diately to the scene of last night's rioting. As the troops marched y the main thoroughfare hisses and stoans were heard. At 9:20 nine companies of the Fourth Regiment y jer and ran after the negro. distracted tke attention of those lawlessly inclined and bad the salu- tary effect. The rumor that Chief of Police Harrison had become in- sane and had fled caused a great deal of comment. He is in Cleve- land. The saloons have been closed since noon. Ata conference in the afternoon between Mayor Young and the militia officers, dead lines Were established and soldiers were placed in different parts of the down town section of the city, THE NHGRO HUSTLED TO THE PEN. Louis Peck, the colored man who last Monday evening assaulted four- year-old Christina Maas, at Akron, and whose crime is responsible for the fearful rioting that occurred at Akron, Wednesday night and Thurs- day morning, was this afternoon taken from the jail at Cleveland where he had been moved for safety, rushed to Akron, taken to the court house, and within five Minutes after his arrival at Akron was convicted of the crime and was sentenced to the penitentiary for lifeat hard la- owns considerable real estate.

The Washington Post contsins an editorial which confirms what had a)- ready been whispered in North Carolina, towit: That certain men, calling themselves Demorats, were in leayue with Republicans to carry the State for McKinley, if, as it was expressed, “‘we can get the 120,000 hesroes to vote.’’ The Post says: “The situation in North Caro- lina, as between Mr. McKinley and Mr. Bryan, is engaging some at- tention among well-informed poli- ticians in these parts, No oue is quite ready to say that the Tar Heels will desert the Democratic column, although the story was brought to this city some days ago that there was an agreement be- tween Republicans and Democrats, bor. He had been indicted by a special grand jury which had been impanell- ed during the afternoon, Judge Nye, of Elyria, pronounced the sen- tence.

Saratoga Dispatch, 24th, O. H. P. Belmont strolled into the club house at about 11 o’glock last night, wat down at a roulette, table and bought 8100 worth of chips. He divided his stack and made his first play by betting half on the black and half/on the middle made @ considerable time ago, that the ameadment should be carried in August and North Carelina’s electoral vote delivered to Mr. Me- Kinley in November. That story has been told quietly, but with great emphasis, here of late. It has not carried conviction that apy such agreement has actually existed, but it has convinced some people that there isa strong tendency among some North Carolina Democrats to fall in line for the Republican ticket, “As corroborating such a situa- tion, it is learned from North Caro linians who are in the contidence ot political parties that there isa move- ment amony the Democrats down there to issue a manifesto Within a column. The ball dropped into a black socket whose number had its duplicate in the column which he was playing, Getting even money on thecolor and 2 for 1 on the column, he had #150. After that it seemed as if he could not guess wrong on color or column. He had not been at the table long before it was whispered about the house that “Olfie’’ Belmont was “playing the wheel,’’ and he was soon surrounded by men four and five deep. Shortly after midnight he had in front of him all the light red chips in the rack and the man behind the table had to substitute the dark reds in Paying the bets. A few minutes before 1 o’clock Mr. Belmont stopp ed his play and arranged the chips in stacks of 20 each. Then he count- ed the stacks and found that he bad a little less than $2,700 in front of him. He pushed all but the small est stack over to the man bebind the table, who counted them and jp 3 low voice said: “Twenty-six hun. dred dollars.’’ Mr. Belmont gave an affirmative nod. “Will you have a cash or credit?’’ asked the table tender. “Just keep it for me,’” was the reply and Mr. Belmont arose from the tableand walked out with the faint suspicion of a gratified smile on his face.

Ingalls never ' showed his ability to better advan- | tage than in the affair of his oration on ‘Mummies,’ ’’ said a graduate of | Williams college. ‘‘The story never | circulated far out of college. Togalis } was 8 member of the class of °55 at | Williams. I followed not long after. | So the story is more than a matter |of record with me. | Ingalls took a high position as a student. With Garfield he was an | editor of the prominent college pub- \lication. His ability made him quite popular, as his sharp tongue was kept in restraint. “Ona winter’s night in one of the later years of Ingalls’ course— lthink he was a junior2the boys took a trip across the hills to a made til] well past midnight. It was early morning when the crowd of students passed a youny ladies’ jsemipary not far from Williams- town. ‘Some one, it may have been In- galls, proposed a serenade. The idea pleased, The tin horns, laid aside on the returp trip, were brought out The valley echoed and re echoed with the discordant blasts. ‘he noise was kept up until the seminary awoke and blinds were thrown back here and there. Fimally sleepy heads peered out from the windows. Thea the horses were whipped up and the seminary re- turned to its slumbers. ‘The second moruing after the trip, President Hopkins —‘mark the perfect man’—kept his boys a few minutes after chapel exercises. In his slow, impressive manner, he said, as nearly as I remember: ‘As a party of students from this college Were recently passing at an early bour of the morning a neighboring institution of learning they disturb. ed the slumbers of the youny ladies, students there, by tooting on a bar barous instrument known as a tin horn. In my time I have seen sev- eral men who tooted their own horns and I have observed that they have been tooting ever since.’ “Just what else the president said I don’t recall. But this last scutence was the one to strike In- galls. Like most men with sharp tongues, Ingalls was sensitive to sarcasm himself. He took a person- al view of the remark. The impli- cation that he tooted his own born hurt. Very likely other things in college irritated him. But this re- mark of the president was said to have given the impulse to the ora- tion on ‘Mummies. ’. “The future politician was a good waiter, as the boys say. Com- mencement week for the class of ‘55 came around. ‘Mummies,’ was the subject which Ingalls had chosen. Every one expected something bril- liant from him. They gotit. Once oo the platform the speaker made his peroration short. Then, before the faculty could guess kis intention, he had begun to sketch some mum- mies that he had seen. There was no mistaking the members of the faculty whow he was holding up to View. All the Strength of the Speaker’s intellect was brought to this self-imposed task. Faculty and students alike sat spell-bound, held as much by the ability of the mat as by his audacity. “In the distribution of diplomas which followed one was missing. Ingalls left the platform without one. Later the faculty considered ‘Mummies’ more at length, and de- cided that its author merited the withholding of his diploma, Facul- ties are ouly human. But here In- galls’ wit had not failed him. Mem- bers of the graduating class were re- quired to settle the bills of the last term at the beginning of commence. mens week. These bills included fees for the sheepskins. Ingalls had settled his bill. When the faculty said ‘no diploma,’ he threatened legal steps.

Schafhirt, proprietor of a drug store at North Capital and H streets, this city, fried an egg on the asphalt pavement in front of his pharmacy yesterday shortly before noon. Theegg was done to the turning point in seven and a half minutes after it was broken on the concrete by Dr. Schafhirt. It wag then turned over, as a cook flaps a pancake, and was thoroughly cooked Witbin ten minutes. A fittle negro who was among the witnesses of the trick asked for the egg after it had gone the rounds of curious bystanders and ate it with evident relish. A hundred or more employes of the Government Print- ing Oftice, which is close by, watch- ed the pharmacist oversee the egg- frying act. Dr. Schafhirt had made the asser- tion that, judging from the heat registered by thermometers > stand- ing io the sun, it was hot enough to cook an egg on the pavement. Sey- eral frieods who happened to be in the store chaffed and ‘jollied’’ the doctor;for making sucha suggestion, and finally he said he would prove to the doubters that he knew what he was talking about. A thermometer cutside his store under the sun’s rays at that moment registered 120 degrees. The doctor figured that the radiation of the heat from the concrete, which fairly sizzled under old Sol’s attentions, meant that the degree of heat on the pavement itself was near to 150 egrees. Accordingly Le took an egg and picking out a place that was without any protection from the rays of the sun tapped the shell and let the contents fall on the fiery concrete, He held a watch while the hot as- phalt underneath the egg and the unrelenting rays of the sun over its surface gradually completed the fry- ing process. The egg browned nicely and did not have time to run over a large surface of the street, as at first feared by the doctor. No Right to Ugliness.

Omaha, Neb., is the first city thus far counted in the Twelfth Cen- Sus to show a decrease in population during the past decade, The count of the population of Omaha just compieted shows 102,355. The pop- ulation in 1890 was 140,452. This indicates a decrease in ten years of 37,897, or 26.98 per cent. When Census Director Merriam was asked as to the reason for the decrease he refused to say anything, but in other official circles the charge was made that the rolls ten years avo were padded. It is claimed that old hotel registers and other devices were utilized in swelling the ‘popu- lation of the clty at that bime. The population of other cities were announced as follows: Cleve- land 381,768 against 261,353 in 1890, an increase of 120.415, or 46.07 per cent.: Toledo 131,822 against $1,134 in 1890, an increase of 50,388, or 61.88 per cent.; Columbus 125,560 against 88,150 in 1890, an increase 37.410,0r 42.44 per cent.

They are making the tour of the Country in a carriage, and left Mun- cy yesterday en route for this place, where they intended to spend the night. Ten miles from here they lost their way, and after night fell they found themselves in a low and Swampy spot, surrounded by wood- ed hills. Here the phenomenon appeared. Suddenly the sky was iiluminated with a strange light, which increas- ed until the whole landscape was lighted up with blinding brillianey. The frightened tourists heard a Joud hissing noise and a blazing mass fully ten feet in diameter struck the earth ten yards before them. The ground trembled under the mighty impact, and on examination Nr. Monroe found that the meteor- ite had gone deep into the marsby ground, and from the hole were pouring clouds of steam.
