STATE AND COUNTY TREASURIES BANK RUPT. "It is a condition and not a theory that confronts us." The bankrupt State Treasury, which is unable to pay the appropriations made by tie Legislature, is something new under the sun in North Carolina. From the day the carpet-baggers and negroes were driven out of power until they re turned in 1894-’96, the State Treasury promptly paid every appropriation made by the (.<•:: ral Assembly and every just claim against the State. Now the State Treasurer tells the institutions ami claimants that there is not enough money to pay the legislative appropriations. If there were no other reason why good citizens should unite to drive such reck less and incompetent men from power, this is sufficient to all who have the good name of the State at heart. The bankruptcy of the State Treasury is .supplemented by the bauruptcy of county treasuries, where negro votes control. A few days ago the Greens boro Record quoted a gentleman who had just returned faom Eastern North Carolina as saying: "I feel sorry for the people of that section. The other day I was in the largest store in a good-sized town when a young lady came in and said to tlie proprietor of the store that she * had SBO in county script in her hand, wanted to know if she could buy some things at the store. The man told her that he would sell her any thing he had on as long time as she desired, hut that he could not take the script, for not a dollar was in the treasury and he did not know when there would be. The lady said she was a teacher and had just been paid. She did not know what to do, for she said she had to live and look after her mother and she had no other means of support. I fiud in many of those eastern counties just such a state of affairs. Things are in con trol of the worst element of the poli ticians of the Republican faith—ne groes and illiterate whites —who hav,. brought things to a pretty pass.” In the face of such mismanagement, if nothing worse, the good people of the State did not bury their differences and eome together to take the fair name of the State out of the mire into which it has been dragged, they would not be sons but bastards. They will restore good government, ■uch as we enjoyed from 1876 to 1894. To doubt it is to doubt the sense, the virtue, and the patriotism of North Carolinians. The North Carolina Journal of Educa tion, published by Prof. P. P. Claxton and Prof. Logan D. Howell, is a neat and handsome journal devoted to the interests of the teaching profession. The first number is chock full of interesting and able articles. It is published at Greensboro, and will exert a healthy in fluence on the educational thought of the State. It comes to us from sources that we regard reliable that the penitentiary au thorities abolished the old Finance com mittee in order to get rid of Mr. It. It. Cotton and Mr. E. T. Clark, who are anxious to have the penitentiary man aged properly. If this is not the reason, we have heal'd none other advanced. Keep you eye on the penitentiary! It now develops that Lusk was ap pointed receiver of the bank at Ashe ville because he framed the Force bill and advocated sending a fleet to the harbor of Asheville to let the imported South Carolina negro cast two votes undisturbed by the wicked Democrats. Col. E. H. Sellers, a prominent lawyer of Detroit, is the head of a new political party launched at St. Louis. There’e millions in it. WILL WYNNE AT OXFORD. Oxford, N. C., Aug. 26.—(Special.)- The bicycle carnival was a great sue cess. Mr. Will Wynne, Raleigh’s ex pert rider, was introduced by Dr. E. T White, president of the Bank of Gran ville. Among other daring rides accom plished was riding down a flight of step which had been arranged in the ware bouse for the purpose. • THERE ARE OTHERS. Mr. Lot Tippet says that “he has been a Populist, but being convinced that the re-election of such reform ers as now control affairs would bring bankruptcy, he will, in the fu , tore devote his energies to the u;>- building of democracy.” There are thousands of others in North Caro lina who think like Is>t. —Jackson- ville Times. There is every reason why the white people of the State, no matter what their differences in the past, should unite to elect a legislature that will give us good laws and decent government, without a bankrupt treasury and in j terminable litigation. We want that rest and |>enoe as a State that can come only from good laws and honest, capable of ficers. Men who depend on the negro for election will always fail. The crea ture cannot be better than the creator. OPPOSED TO SOCIAL EQUALITY. If Not. They Would !»**!»'« Tolerated in Vance. i To the Editor: If my communication in last Sunday's News and Olmerver eon ;veys the impression that there are white men in our midst who favor social eqnnli |station it is not the impression that l in j tended to convey. 1 would not by even thinking such a thing slander the com munity un which 1 and my ancestors have dwelt for more than a century. No such men would be tolerated here. There are none such here. Those to whom 1 alluded are. I know, distinctly opposed to social equality and ;everything pertaining to it. The mere ! .statement that they were white men should have conveyed the meaning that they are opposed to it. The question involved wa«s not one of principle at all. It was a question of courage or of failure to apprehend a crisis and respond to it in the only of- i fective way. And I know that that fail- ! ure worked harm. By those whose actions do not square with the principles, that as white men they cannot but hold. I am accused of in tolerance. Intolerant I may be. hut it is intolerance of wrong io principles in de fense of which I have never hesitated to make any sacrifice that the occasion re quired, however great it might he. Wore I otherwise I should ho false*to the mem ory and to the example of a father who ! laid down his fife in defense of a cause, which in another form, we are now up holding in the only way open to us. I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of the many letters that I have received approving and com mending my course in the waiting room i trouble and subsequently. r i hoy con e from prominent ladicis and gentlemen in all parts of the State and are doubly grateful in view of the fact that the w s dom of my course has been impugned, by those who take a narrower view of the ; situation than it is evident that the peo ple of North Carolina take. For some time I have been convinced that the day of subterfuges, if they | were ever expedient, has now passed. I That the sooner the two races can have an understanding on certain para mount questions, the better for both races. In no other way can the tension which has existed since Appomattox, and which in some respects is evidently in icreasing, ho lessened. Without perfect candor there can he no understanding. O. W. BLACKNALL. Kittrell, N. C., Aug. 2G, ISO7. | LET DEMOCRATS WATCH AND WAIT, SAYS WHITNEY. (New Your Journal.) It is too early for discussing tim poli tico 1 situation. We are not ready. ‘‘There are good reasons why it would be wise to express no opinions just now. regarding the outlook. / "It is better to remain quiet and say nothing until the time arrives for ac tion. ■ “Then we shall act, and act Gg«r ously. “When events arc ripe we shall have a great deal to say, and speak in nos un certain tones. / “Until that time let the other sijie do the talking. ► “We will keep watch and see them dis integrate.

(Statesville Landmark.) The Landmark has heretofore noted that Collector Harkins is evading and violating the civil service law by send ing out from Buncombe; Republican storekeepers to various parts of the dis trict. These imported Republican store keepers relieve Democrats against whom no charges are made, but who are relieved simply because they are Democrats. The first of this variety to reach Iredell is one A. Ottinger, who came in this week, ap'd is assigned to the distillery of D. S. Stack, at Olin. By and by all <he Democratic store keepers will be relieved, civil service or no civil service. MASONIC TEMPLE BURNED.

Wheat at $l.O3Gr~ Situntion Now I’layH Into Hands of Combine. Chicago, 111.. Aug. 2ts.—Today for the finst. time since the present bull cam paign in wheat was started the price of September wheat sold above the dollar mark in Chicago. Ten minutes after the opening $1.03% was offered, an advance over yesterday's closing price of (5% cents. Even at that tempting figure the bull clique refused to let go of their hold ings. Enough wheat came on the market to break the price to 9.8% cents by the time the closing lie'll sounded, hut brokers who are engineering the deal stoutly denied that it came from them. There was, perhaps, a shade of mali ciousness in the way they forced shorts,-' to bi<l prices up. It was currently re ported on Monday, when prices broke/so sharply, that the pool was forced toy-put up S4OO, (KM) in margins. They certainly had their revenge today. The rise was plainly due to the clique, windy is now swelled by rumor to include J<«Seph Lei ter, George R. French, Allen, Grier & Co. and James Keene, of .Wall street. The only lender—George /R. French — who appears distintoly above the surface, makes no secret that be has a fine of 5,000,000 bushels of September wheat. There is not more thiyti 1,100,1)00 bushels of contract wheat in/Chicago, with hard ly anything coming and an immense short line of cash.“-wheat sold for exjtort.

A letter 1 have just receiv ed from the Cooper and Pocahontas dis trict. is brimming with confidence and says the work in that region has lteen reduced one-half in the last fortnight ami predicts a g< neral col la; se there very soon.” When Mr. Gompers' attention was call' d to the great destitution and suf fering among the strikers he said that the coal operators had taught the miners how to suffer. They had been drilled in hardship by the owners. They would continue to endure their trials a little longer in the hope of relieving their sit uation permanently in the future. He predicts the end of the strike and victory for miners by the end of Sep ■ teinhor. NEW GERMAN AMBASSADOR.
