FRIDAY, OCTOBKR i, J 897. INTKOMI CTOKY. Having purchased the interests of Mr. T. G. Cobb in The Mkssen gek, with this issue I become asso ciated with Rev. W. H. White in its management. The high standing The Mes SkN';KK has attained is a source of pride and gratification to those who have earnestly labored for its success and the welfare of the peo ple of Marion and McDowell county, and we shall endeavor to merit a continuance of the gener ous patronage the paper has already received. Under the new management The Messenger will strive to still lurther extend its interest and usefulness, giving especial atten tion to the needs of Marion and vicinity. Rev. Mr. White will con tinue his relations with the paper as heretofore, and we hope the change will prove mutually profit able to the publishers and people. Respectfully, J. W. Count. Russell is an iconoclast an image smasher. Some three hun dred years ago in Kurope, when the great religious reformation was moving forward with over whelming power over christianized nations, a party arose with such zeal for the truth that it broke into fragments the images of wor ship found in cathedrals and tem ples. They were iconoclasts in religious matters breakers of images. So Governor Russell is breaking images, the representa tives of the power in his party, and injuring the party, some of the things his party has admired and worshiped. With the club of the breaking spirit he is shatter ing them to pieces. Expectations of his party when he was first elected are being disappointed. As proper, he has been given good time to develop greatness, but he is unpromising. The "powers that be" should be respected and obeyed until a lawful method can be reached of changing peaceably from the party governing. But Mr. Russell is out of the ordinary course of North Carolina govern ors. The good name of the State of North Carolina has been dishon ored and disgraced by the devel opments concerning the conduct of one of its trusted officials. It seems almost incredible that the unfortunate female inmates of the criminal insane department of the penitentiary should be sub jected to scandalous and debauch ing treatment by one of the physi cians of the institution whose duty is to protect and tenderly care for them in their pitiable condition. Hut such are the charges against Dr. Kirby Smith, who has been compelled to resign on account of the disclosures. The testimony points only too strongly to the truthfulness of the allegations. This is only another one of the many disgraceful incidents that are piling up to condemn the pres ent Republican administration of the State. The good people of North Carolina are jealous of its reputation, and at the proper time they will call to account those responsible for this reprehensible condition of affairs. What we should have in the next campaign is a united Democratic party, no fusion, united on its own platform believing in a set of principles that is right and wise. And, also, democrats, and only such, should be nominated from the highest State officer to the lowest in the counties true and tried democrats at that ; not those who have coqueted with another party ; not those who have some times serred in one and another party for the sake of pie ; not those who have forsaken the prin ciples of the party in some time of need. Reasonable welcome should be given to those who would unite with us. Hut we want men who believe in and will stick to the party's principles. A weak man weakens the party. Leaders should have a good democratic history. We were surprised to know that distinctively general terms were interpreted by one to carry a per sonal meaning. If it ever should become necessary to be pointed, and to use names, we will not be misunderstood, and we would do no one an injustice the same that all men appreciate. Let us not read between the lines. A crisis had been pending; for some time as regards war-smitten Cuba. It came, as the news col umns have shown, in the Cubans having taken a very large town near Havana. It caused conster nation in Madrid, the Spanish capital. The ministry was called together, which meant that they were alarmed. Weyler is to over come the Cubans in another remarkably short time, some morn ing before breakfast ; yet we may expect to hear of a crisis, or crises, like the above caused by Cuban victories, for the insurgent cause is marching on. A great contest is going on in Greater New York as to who will be the first mayor of the second city of the world in which we live. Within a few months the great city will enter upon its govern mental career. We are interested in the place because it is not only our national metropolis, but the metropolis of America, and in some respects the greatest busi ness mart of the world. The result of the mayoralty election will have great political significance, locally and nationally. Refchlican leaders have been assigning all the credit for the advance in the price of wheat to the McKinley administration and pointing with glee to this ray of hope of better times. Hut when their attention is called to the low price of cotton they consider the subject not worth discussing. If they think they can hoodwink the people by such jug-handle attitude they do violence to the intelligence of a reasoning public. The backbone of the strike of the miners in the coal regions of Pennsylvania has been broken. As is usual in such cases nothing of importance has been gained, but on the other hand much has been lost, by the struggle of labor against the greed of immense cap ital. a goat in this town, it is affirmed, swallowed a whole news paper recently, and yet he is not posted. What if he had swallowed some paper with Governor Rus sell's first fulmination against the Wilsons? Would it have disgusted him ? The North Carolina farmer who has laid in a plentiful supply of "hog and hominy" is to be con gratulated. The trusts will not be able to dictate to him this winter how he shall live. Governor Russell is a most con spicuous example of how a weak man can weaken his party. A HOOD ENOl'GIl PLATFORM. 0ioHltlon to tlie St Now In Support for Anybody Who Can Heat It. Iurliiiton News. The newspapers and politicians are beginning to think of and talk about the next campaign, and the proper course to be pursued to get rid of the present official set, so far as the election next year will doit. More than twenty years ago, when the administration of our public affairs was very bad, but no worse than now, if indeed so bad the democrats of Watauga county, in convention assembled, passed short resolutions, only two of them, which were copied with approbation by the democratic papers of the State, and referred to during the memorable cam paign of 1S76. We have thought of them often in the condition that we have been placed in by the defeat of the Democratic party. If there is one thing in the future that is certain, and that all reason able, well-informed and candid men are bound to admit, it is that the Democratic party is the only party to which the people of this State can look for good govern ment. There are good men in other parties, but good men, capa ble men, do not control other par ties, and the fusion of the other parties has given us more incompe tent men in public place and office than the State and its counties ever had before. But to the Watauga resolutions. They were in substance, if not in exact lan guage, as follows : "Resolved, 1, That we are opposed to the set now in. "Resolved, 2, That we favor any body who can beat them." That is about our condition now. We will not charge corruption in the administration of our public affairs, both State, and of counties in the State, but it is notorious that incompetency, and extrava gance and blundering carelessness are to be found in more places than ever before known in our State. We do not charge corrup lion, out of great charity, for there are certainly evidences to warrant the charge. What ever may be determined on as the campaign policy of the Democratic party, if it is at all wisely idopted, we have faith in the honesty and good sense of the people that leads us to believe that they will defeat the present bungling administration of our public affairs.

The Kemibllraii I'nrtr of Maryland In IHIruima a to Its Attitude Toward tlie Colored Voter The Trnnnure Centen nial KiiiiMtiH a Credit to the Manage ment Miscellaneous Comment. Correspondence of The Messenger. Washington, Sept. 1'7. The junketing administration. not knowing what to do iu the absence of I bum a, has taken another jaunt this time away up into New Eng land, where witches were once burnt, men jailed for kissing their nearest neighbors wife, where the Hartford convention plotted trea son, blue lights were hung out to the British in the war of 1S12, and the enforcement of a United States scatuto was resisted by howling mob, of which the late Attorney General of the United States, Olney, was a leader. Hut perhaps let it at least be charitably supposed that the muchly tired out President was induced to undergo the arduous fatigue of this tour iu the hope of finding the "prosperity" that was promised should oless the nation aud make all its peopjp. Lappy as soon as the adtniustraticu came into power. He had looked in vain during a former "swinging around the circle" to find it among the thousands of idle employees of the idle lactones that meet his gaze all along the line of his triumphal march, from the time of leaving Washington until he retumed The farmers, except the scattering few here aud there, who had not been forced to sell their wheat crops before the famine and short crops abroad spurted up the price he found still struggling with hard times and lighting to ward off mortgage foreclosures. The prosperity he saw then is the only kind he will find now which is confined to the robber trusts, the 1'ierpout Morgan gaug ot pirates, the lonely Sphinx ot Buzzard Hay and his small coterie of worshipers, and the happy re cipients ot the flesh pots portioned out by Mark Hauna. H. U. Ilanna first appeared in public at an alleged convention held at Indianapolis, which called itself "The National Democratic Convention," nominated two old fossils on a platform prepared by- Hankers Morgan aud .Rothschilds, and then proceeded to work with what little powers it had for the election of McKinley. This Hauna after the success of the treachery wanted to make himself conspicu ous aud immediately commenced the organization of a commission to reform the currency. His com mission is in Washington, with George F. Edmunds, a Republican, wno resigned his place in the United States Seuate to become a corporation lawyer, at !L.5,000 a year, at the head of it, Charles S Fairchild, one of Cleveland's sec retaries of the Treasury, aud sev eral other Democratic gold bugs ana traitors 01 more or less mi portance, and sotne Republicans, make up the commission which proposes to prepare a plan for cur rency reform for the American peo ple. j.ue wuoie omecc ot the cam paign, and there is no doubt but that the other Hanna is "paying tue ireigut," is to prepare a plan to retire the greenbacks, aud pre sent it to Congress, with a grand flourish of trumpets, that this is "a plan agreed upon by the Democrats aud Republicans alike," and then let lorn Reed put it through his house at once, when the other Ilanna he of corruption fund in famy, will try his hand at fawn ing, bullying and bribing it through the Senate. That is exactly what Mr. Ilauua's commission "is here for." The colored voter and G. O. P. of Maryland are each worrying with a dilemma, neither of them knowing which horn to take. The Republicans, some time ago, prom- lsea tue coioreu brother, who makes up a large part of the vote of the party in Haltimore, a num- oer ot places on the legislative ticket. Ihis raised a storm of op position from the better class of the party and the offer was with drawn, which aroused in the col ored camp a spirit of revolt that threatens certain defeat, aud last Sabbath the colored preachers de nounced the action of the Repub lican leaders from their pulpits, advising their flocks to vote against the Republican ticket. If the leaders persist iu ignoring the brother in black, that larce ele ment of strength, so essential to success, may be lost. On the other hand, if they yield, the cold stand ard "Nation" Democrats, with an interrogation point, may engage passage on Benedict's vacht for Huzzard's Hay on election day. A great howl has been raised in the Republican press about the shooting of a negro postmaster in tieorgia. Ihe appointment of col ored postmasters in the South, at educational aud business towns and cities, is and was intended as a contemptuous indignity to the Southern people. If the adminis tration wants to do something for the colored brother why is it that it does not offer him high positions iu the Northern States f Why not make him postmaster at Canton. Cleveland, or Newark, aud revenne collector in Massachusetts Pennsylvania? There are hut three reasons that could have in fluenced the admin IStr;ifin?i in making this class of annointment in the South: First, as an insult to the people; second, to pay for help ing to nomiuate McKinley, and third with the hope of having them killed off and the Republican party made stronger at the North. Hanna would gladly give the lile ot one Southern negro for a hun dred Republican votes it might give the party in Ohio, especially in the present emergency that eou frouts him. The annual meeting of th$ Na- ; tidnal Grange, to convene at liar risburg, November 10, will be looked forward to with unusual in terest, as it will discuss the ques tion of the government giving a bounty on agricultural exports, from an economic, rather than a political standpoint. The Grange has consistently maintained a strict non partizanship on all political questions, from the begiuuing of its organization, hence the interest felt in its action oti the Hanna Reed robber tariff. The State Grange of Penusy lvama, at its re cent convention, took the position that a protective tariff on imports could not benefit agriculture, and demanded the enactment of bounty provisions. Whatever action may be taken the public is not likely to be kept in doubt as to its meaning, as its habit is to speak plainly ou all questions. The President made a trip to the Teunessee Centennial at Nash ville, shortly after Hanna had him counted in, but we have no record that he visited the graves of his illustrious democratic predeces sors, Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. A few weeks later he took another deadhead ride to Lake Chum plain, the most notable occurence being his weeping over the grave of the patron saivt of Hauna Republicanism, John Hrowu, formerly commander on chief of the forces to incite insur rection aud murder helph ss women aud innocent children. On the 10th of this month, both houses of the Hawaiian Congress ratified the annexation treaty. When the United States Senate also ratifies the treaty, as there is no reason to doubt it will before the 1st of January, the affair will bo complete, and the American flag will float over the palace at Honolulu, where it ought to have been flying for the last five years. If the abuses of government could be corrected, the useless ofii ces abolished, and the unnecessary expenses cut off, the burdens that weigh down our tax ridden people would be reduced more than one hall of what is now upon them. Those who have visited the Ten uessee Centennial Exposition now being held at Nashville, are unan imous iu expressions of pleasant surprise and patriotic admiration at the very tine aggregation of American arts, science, industry ana agricultural products there displayed. It is a splendid show, highly creditable to Tennessee and her sistor States that have joined her in making it such a pronounced success. While not so elaborate as the Atlanta Exposition, of two years ago, it is in some respects far more attractive and interest ing. The buildings are very hand some indeed, close together, and the displays compactly grouped, inereoy rendering them easy of in spection, thus attording even the hurried sight seer as fine view of what American art, science, in dustry aud skill has done and cau do as has been made in the United States. The grounds are simply beauti ful, the landscape gardening lovely; in this respect said by those who nave seen all the expositions to be even lovelier than the grounds of the great lair at Chicago. The illumination of the buildings and grounds at night presents an en chanted fairy land spectacle, and mere is always on baud some cele brated band, such as Sousa's, Gil more's old baud, Innes' or some other hue musical afffrresra tion from the east, which nightly fills the great auditorium with sweet music to the delight of thou sands. The attendance ever since the exposition opeued its doors has been good. Any detailed description of spe cial buildings or exhibits would be a work of supererogation. The great Partheuou building, an exact reproduction of the famous Parthenon ot old, the government, rue woman's, the industrial and other buildings are all very hue .me negro uunuing, wuere is grouped a really surprising exhibit of the wonderful advancement of the race iu science, art and indus trial pursuits, is always a point of great interest to the tourist, aud reflects great credit on the "brother in black." All should see the Tennessee Centennial before it closesou Octo ber Jl, for there is to be found much instruction, amusement and pleasure. In his first, "You would scarce expect one of my age," imbecile efforts at speech-making by States man Ilanna, the great argument advanced why he should not bnv a seat in the United States Senate, was the claim of having " discov ered " Mai. McKinley, which he forthwith followed up by paying ou ?no,uuu 01 the major's personal imieoteuness, and then, after lock ing up the mortgages in his iron safe, proceeded to raise from the banks, trusts, syndicates aud com bines, a corruption fund of 0,- 000,000 to buy his election. Smce Senator Darnel's inhuman massacre of the soon-to be, His ex Excelleocy C. T. OTerrall, nothiug has been heard of the victim ex cept an occasional faint and plaint ive wail of despair as he is being dashed from side to side nent the labyrinths leading to the fathomless depths of remotest oblivion. The sheriff of Luzerne mnntr aud the forty or more dennti that have been arrested, who were engaged in the shooting of the miners near Hazletou, have been held in G,000 bail each for mnr.w ami felonious wounding. Several of the witnesses testified that thev uciHU i"c Mjenu give tne order to fire. The Hanna administration ap pointments of negroes to the b. t of Federal oflices in the South is an insult, no less to the white re publicans of that eection than to the educated and intelligent ne groes 01 the Northern States, who are ottered none of these high places. Hanna thinks he can buy them for less than they sold for iu old slavery times. hx-Secretary of Agriculture Morton, whose highest qualifica tions lor that exalted and nicst important positiou before appoint ment was that of being a lone lawn-tree planter, and whose great est distinction gained while in ollice consists in his persistent efforts to farm the great agricul tural mterests ot the nation to help his Wall street friends, has beeti nominated ou a so-called democratic State ticket in Ne braska. The ouly expectation he can possibly have is to embarrass the regular democratic ticket, and thereby give aid and comfort to the Hauuaites, among whom he imagines himself one of the most importaut. The latest report from the wheat fields of the Dakotas and Minne sota estimate the viefd at 75,000,(100 bushels less than the estimates of a few weeks ago. while the quality ot the grain in large sections is be low the average. The latest re ports from France and Italy ate very discouraging. M. Meline, the French premier and minister of agriculture, in an official an nouncement, places the wheat crop at 213,313,947 bushels, showing a filling off" of 03,000,000 bushels Irom the crop of 189G. In Italy the falling off equals 50,000,000 imshels. The London Timer cor respondent at Rueuos Avres cables that it is feared the wheat crop of Argentina will De almost entirely destroyed by locusts. Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury Howell has giveu an order to hold all Dutch sugars imported into this country until it can be ascertained whether an export bounty is paid on these sugars, as in that instance they would be lia ble to an additional duty. Great is the power of the sugar trust ! A LABOR l'KOBLKai. rienty or White People to Supply the Cotton Mills with Help. The Boston Transcript gives un due importance to the recent strike at the Fulton Hag aud Cotton Mills, says the Atlanta Journal, which was caused by the employ ment of a few negro women. The Transcript is inclined to believe that the time is near at hand " when the Southern manufactur ers must employ colored help or shut down." "There is no such prospect in the South. Of all the cotton mills in this section only one, that at Charleston, has changed from white to negro labor. The owners of the Charleston mill declare that they found it impossible to obtain enough white opeiatives to run their factory ami determined to employ negroes only, as they knew it would be impossible to work whites and negroes together. " Charleston is an exception. In all the other South Carolina cottou mills all the operatives are whites and no difficulty has ever beeu found iu obtaining all the white help that was needed. The same thing is true of the cotton manu facturing centres in other South ern States. Many of the cottou mills in this section are located in small towns, and as soon as they were built abundant labor was found iu the immediate vicinity. There is no prospect of such a labor problem in the South as the Transcript sees among the proba bilities. So far as the negro is concerned, however, he finds a greater variety of employment and work of higher grades iu the South than he can obtain iu the city where the Transcript is published, or in any part of that section of the country where solicitude for the negro's welfare is most loudly proclaimed."

Developments of the Fust Week Iu a Sub ject or Widespread luterent. Xaturglly, the subject of pub lic interest uppermost in the minds of our citizens the past week has been that with reference to the developments in the controversy between Governor Russell and Maj. J. W. Wilson, of Morganton, and S. Otho Wilson, State Rail road Commissioners. For some time past it has been generally believed throughout the State that the Governor would remove the two members of the commission above named. There was not much surprise, therefore, when Governor Russell sent the following letter to Chairman J. W. Wilson on Thursday iast: "Take notice that after due in vestigation and consideration, I am convinced that you have vio lated the railroad commission law in some of the particulars men tioned in my letter to you of August 24th, and that you have not only violated said act in the specifications set out in it, but that you have otherwise within its meaning, intent and words become disqualified to act. Now, there fore, in obedience to the duty imposed upon me by said act, I do hereby suspend you from the office of railroad commissioner, and chairman of said commissioners, shcIi suspension to continue until the question of your removal or restoration shall be determined by a vote of the Legislature in joint session. The fact of your suspension, together with reasons therefor and evidence, documents and information connected there with, will be reported to the next Legislature. You will further take notice that under and by vir tue of the power conferred, and duties imposed, upon the chief executive, I have appointed L. C. Caldwell, of Iredell, to fill the vacancy caused by your suspen sion. Inasmuch as you are under stood to deny the power of the executive to suspend you from office, as provided by the statute, I have requested Mr. Caldwell to make demand on you for posses sion of the office, and upon your refusal to bring action therefor to the end that the title to the office may be judicially determined." A letter similar to this was sent to Otho Wilson, informing him of his suspension and of the appoint ment of John H. Pearson, of Mor ganton. This action of the Governor pre cipitated a contest between the appointees and the present incum bents for possession of the respect ive offices, with the result that the matter has been referred to the courts for determination. In reply to Governor Russell Maj. Wilson wrote the following letter : "North Carolina l "Railroad Commission, "Raleigh, Sept. 24, 1897.) " To D. L. Russell, Governor : "Sir Your favor of the 23rd inst. is hereby acknowledged. In reply I will say that I shall disre gard your order to suspend, but will continue to do business at the old stand until removed by a tri bunal other than a self-constituted 'Star Chamber.' "Jas. W. Wilson, "Chairman Railroad Commission." Mr. Otho Wilson was even more brief. His reply was thus : "North Carolina "Railroad Commission, "Raleich, Sept. 24, 1807. " To Dan' I L. Russell. Governor "Sir Yours of the 2?rd received and noted. "S. Otho Wilson, "Railroad Commissioner." On Friday morningMr. Pearson went before Judge Walter Clark in Kaleigh and was sworn in as rail road commissioner. He then went to the office of Mr. S. Otho Wilson and made formal demand for the position. Mr. Wilson shook his head and explained that it was matter of great regret but really he said, under the law, he should be compelled to have to decline Mr. Pearson s request to step out lie then went on to explain that he was elected to the position by ine legislature ana he did not recognize the Governor's right and power to turn him out. "I still consider myself Railroad Commissioner, Mr. Pearson, and therefore I cannot turn over my office to you or any other man until my term expires." Referring to the refusal of Mr. Otho Wilson to give up the office, Mr. Pearson said: "I will bring sun in wake Superior Court beginning October 24th. There will, of course, be an appeal to the supreme Court and the latter will auvance me case. 1 his position came to me entirely unsolicited. I think the interests of the State can be served without oppressing rauroaa corporations in the State Mr. L. C. Caldwell, of States ville, who was appointed in Major oiiauua piace, iook me oatn ot uuitc Deiore judge furches on rriday, and made demand on Mr Wilson for the office by theservice 01 papers through Sheriff Webb, of this county. Mr. Caldwell expects to bring suit in Iredell Superior Court for the possession of the office and the case will prob ably come up for trial at the November term. 0 The question to be determined by the court is whether or not the act creating the railroad commis sion gives the Gover nor the power 10 suspend a commisioner. If it is decided that it does Messrs. Cald well and Pearson will take office and hold till the next meeting of me legislature, when tnat body will decide whether or not the Governor had suffi ClPHt errrmre'e for suspending the Wilsons. If the Legislature should decide that he had not, then the Wilsons will be reinstated. The office of railroal commis sioner pays 2, coo per year. State Treasurer Worth says he will not pay any salary to tuner th Wil sons or the new men until the case is decided by the courts.
