(l I! AMI HAWAII.
To understand the future ..f the
Jiep-iblican pled'fs in regard to
Cuba and Hawaii w-.uM be to
break into the secret s of the money
Ion Is f.f Kuroj.e u-.'l lhi O ur.try
who have enter' 1 into a leue to
control the poMics the world.
Cuba is not ;;i'h'd because the
nir.r-ey lend-rs of h.urope hav
investc- too much in Spanish
bonds to lUten to any sentimental
measure about the rights of man
or the dictates of humanity.
Hawaii is not yet annexed becatis'
these same money lords are stiil
in doubt as to whether they wish
this country to enter upon an ex
periment in foreign colonial
aggression. And the Republican
administration, which owes its
accession to power to the money
lords, awaits word from Europe as
to how and when it shall carry out
measures to which it is distinctly
pledged, and which the people
had supposed would have been
adopted some months since. The
carnage, suffering, outrages, and
starvation in Cuba do not count.
The imbecile Spanish monarchy
must be supported le.,t the bond
holders lose their investment in
the tyrannical and coirupt mis
government of Cuba. The ful
some jingoism in regard to Hawaii
does not count. The money lords
say "wait," and the McKinley
administration waileth.
I'ut there is one thing the money
lords fear. It is the indignation
of the American people. Were
their thrones and privileges in
Europe secure from popular over
throw, they would dare even war
with this country and seek to
crush forever the aspirations for
the political rights of man. l!ut
their thrones and power rest solely
on bayonets. The people are not
with them, either here or in
Europe. Hence, jugglery, delay,
finesse, promises, false issues, and
all the other delusions by which
the masses are k'-pt under control
of seifish and narrow rule, and our
government is degraded in the
eyes of mankind bj its subservi
ency to the p. nver of capital,
intrenched in monarchical institu
tions, and relying upon armies
and armaments to protect it from
popular supei vision and check.
I'eihaps the money lords will at
last allow the Republican admin
istration to make an effort to
redeem its pledges. If so, it will
be tine solely to the persistence of
the American pi ess and the gt ner
ous indignation of the American
people.

A straight party fight in North
Carolina means one of two things,
either that a majority of the suf
fragants of the State are in favor
of the principles all the princi
ples, mind .You of the Chicago
platform, or that they aie opposed
to those principles. Twist it and
turn it whichever way you may,
there is no escape from the truth
of that postulate. True enough,
there are many indifferent ones
who arc moved by fear of negro
domination to actually engage in
political woik when they fear
negro control of State government,
but even the indifferent, i nes are
opposed to the Republican parly
for other reasons than that that
party enfolds the negro in willing
embrace.
So, accepting as granted our in
itial postulate, whether Democrats
or Republicans sr shall rule the
State is of importance only as in
volving the fear of the negio. The
principles of the Chicago platform
are at stake.
Do you believe in the free coin
age of silver by this country inde
pendently at the ratio of id to i ?
It so, what luivc you to do with
a fusion the like of which resulted
in the Duller Pi itchard combina
tion wheieby thev ihre-.v lots f u
the robes once worn by Scales.
Jarvis, Ransom, and Vance?
Do you believe in the freest trade
compatible with the raising o! sul
ficient revenue to tun this govern
ment economically ad m '. n istei cd ?
If yes, why indorse a pobev
which certainly must tax c- :e sec
tion or one class in favor of aw
other (else it would not he: "pro
tection") just because you w ish t,
pay off an old J.uvis grudge o:
Ransom hatred?
Are you down deep in your
heart opposed to an unlimited
judicial monarchy by tH-ir,g com
m'tted against a policy of govern -me
u by ii junction?
If so, why ally yourself with
those who declare that ah' . ),,,
hold to that doctrine are anarchists
and architects of blood and dis
aster? Do you favor taxing the incomes
of the recipients of the proceeds
of legislation conceived, framed,
passed and signed for the benefit
of clashes'
If you do, why arc you in po
litical cahoots with the party vio
lently opposed to such taxation?
j Democrats of No-th Carolina,
! y-;urduty is plain! Whether there
I be 1 47, ceo or ;og,oco or any other
J number of Dcm orats in the State,
it is due the party, due your con
! sciences, due your country and
I vour fiod that you stand up
! -.ija'u st trie common enemy and
.viu or be defeated in a manly
oatt:: for principle rr.ther than
ongage in a traffic for a few or
r.uny paltry offices by a fusion
.vim a parly which stands to win
everything and to lose nothing!
Democrats, will you endorse
the leaders w ho advocate fusion
.vi:h infusible material having in
I'ic.v merely a division of the
poils of political warfare trading
principles for position, parly fealty
.'or persona! advancement?
Nj! a thousand times no! Let
is nail to the mast the flag of
Jtffersoi' ian-Jackson ian Democ
racy, and if any man tries to trade
,n your votes for his own base
ends, let him go. If need be, turn
the State over bodily to the negro
loving Republicans and let them
loot it, as they are doing, rather
than a coalition of white Demo
crats with Populist leaders, black
and tan Republicans, and anything-lor-oflice
spoilsmen should get it
aid disgrace the white race by
engaging in a cheek-by jowl plun
der of a once proud State.
Rut you don't need to take any
such rash step. There is an over
whelming majority in this State
for the Chicago platform Democ
racy. All it needs is a call to
arms, a thorough organization, a
burial of the animosities of the
past, and a determination to have
nothing but Democracy the test of
political preferment.
To your tents, () Israel!

On Monday next the first regular
session of the present Congress
will convene, and the harpies and
vultures are flapping their wings
in eager anticipation of the putres
cent feast which will in all proba
bility attend its meetings.
Not all the harpies, not all the
vultures, are in the Third House
in Washington, that mysterious
"tdjunct to the legislative branch
of the American government which
alternately dictates and anticipates
legislation, in either event reaping
a golden harvest for service or
speculation as guerdon for shaping
legislation.
Certain somersaults of policy
on the part of New York papers
indicate that there is sugar in the
gourd, which may be extracted
with ease if one be only directed
how to proceed to get it out.
The Dingley Deficiency Pro
voker, erstwhile known as the Tar
iff Rill, will have to be pruned and
trimmed, shortened here and elon
gated there, in order to make it
perform its promised office. This
legislation will put the Sugar Trust
on the rack again, and that inter
esting aggregation of philanthro
pists will be made t'o give down
like an unwilling heifer.
Spain has an emissary in Cuba
vho passed through this country
a week or two sir.ee leaving behind
him the malodorous scent of brib
ery, and whose suspected repre
sentatives at the capital are already
joyfully declaiming that there can
oe no legislation which w ill benefit
Cuba at this session. The itching
palms of many newspaper man
agers have been crossed with
Spanish gold, and the Third House
stands in an expectant attitude.
The Nicaragua canal matter
will be up for consideration and
the Huntington transcontinental
carrying influences may be counted
upon to carry another million or
two of dollars to that mysteiious
"expense account" which shows
such sudden, unexplained and
irrational growths concurrently
with favorable legislation for or
attempted legislation adverse to
the Huntington railroad and steam
ship interests.
There are other schemes and
yet others out of which the shoal
of stranded ex-members and Sena
tors and politicians of high and
low degree in Washington must
nake a living, out of which the
no-.r.hpicces of monopoly and class
legislation must in part receive
their bet ween -elect ions sustenance.
True it is the political buzzards
now assembling at the nati n's
capital are wearing immaculate
costumes and glittering diamonds
as a result of the spring tariff cam
paign, but they are as insatiate as

hut the only concern the Ameri
can people have in the harpies and
vultures, individually or as repre
sented by a vena! daily press, is
a contemptuous curiosity. It is
merely thief against pirate; black
mailer against robber. It is upon
the legislators of the country that
the country's eyes are fastened.

hugh Lee's course in Cuba was all
that saved the unspeakable Cleve
land's Spanish policy from becom
ing a stench in the nostrils of the
people, it will be easily understood
that no true American certainly
no Southron would care to be
placed in the predicament of oppos
ing him for the august assemblage
of millionaires known as the Sen
ate, while all feel alike the neces
sity of sending to that Cave of the
Winds men who will not be con
trolled by the influences which so
nearly wrecked the Democratic
paity.
Gen. Lee can never be controlled
in any offensive sense of the term,
but if his predictions are toward
gold, if he does not hold it to be a
tenet of Democratic faith to use
his every endeavor to return forth
with to the money of the Consti
tution independently or con
jointly with other nations, then he
is not the proper candidate at this
juncture for the American Senate.
True, this country needs his
sturdy Americanism in a body
sadly lacking (as far as numbers
go) in that hitherto essential quali
tication.
Rut it is likewise true that unless
the signs of the times are alto
gether misleading it will need a
few able military commanders
with a general knowledge of the
Spanish language and a specific
knowledge of the "lay of the land"
in Cuba.
In the event, however, that Gen.
Lee is for the Democratic plat
form from bridle to tailgate, it is
but one step, and a short one, from
the Senate to the saddle.
ClIIIIlKI A I. NOTKS.
The free pass business has be
come ridiculous and scandalous
in some respects. When a railroad
gives a pass to an editor in ex
change for advertising space in
his paper the editor's pass is then
paid for, and is not free. This is
a business transaction that con
cerns only the editor and the road.
But when public officials, as Butler.
Russell, Worth, and some others,
w ho are allowed mileage for travel
ing, and still are given and use
free passes on the railroads, it
becomes a scandalous evil and
should be stopped. Public serv
ants should do nothing to raise a
suspicion upon the right discharge
of public duties. This latter phase
of the business is becoming malo
dorous. Let such a pass business
pass away, and the officials so
offending pass out of ofiice.
Since Butler has said (and it has
been proved that he said it in a
speech at Rocky Mount) that if
colored men would not commit
the crime of rape often enough
some white men would hire them
to do so, he ought in self-respect,
or for the honor and dignity of
the position he holds, resign his
seat in the U. S. Senate. As the
Asheville Citi,ai says, to resign is
the proper thing for him to do.
We do not believe that white men
hire colored men to commit such
a crime that the white men miv
cry out against the danger of negro j
supremacy, it is a creation
It is a rrPr.tior, ,f I

to his State, the office he fills, and
to his race. Talk about fusion

thing to do with' Scat away !
The Hon. Bill Chandler and his

the most intelligent, well-to do
families as well as in the many
more humble households all over
the country.
New Y'oik City, Oct. 0, 1S97.
Gentlemen I think it but fair
to you that I bear testimony to the
beneficial results of my use of
Paine's Celery- Compound.
Two yars ago I was almost a
wreck from nervous prostration,
resulting from overwork, mental
and physical. I had lost my mem
ory completely, and friends feared
I would never leoover. After try
ing several remedies to no avail,
my ph.v.siciaii prescribed Paine's
Celeiy Compound, and within a
lew days there was a decided
improvement in my condition.
After the use of three bottles I
was so much !i;ter that it was
unnecessary tor me to continue its
use. Since then 1 have recommen
ded it widely, and have yet to hear
that it has i-.iled to do'all that I
claim for it.

To anv one snflerincr from anv of
the ills attendant upon continued
loss of sleep I can and do heartily
recommend it. Very truly vours,
1 1 ay rue L. Haiues.
In all cases of nervous prostra
tiou, nervous indigestiou, neural
gia, sleeplessuess, hysteria or inces
sant headache, the objective point
of a true remedy like Paiue's Cel
ery Compouud is to make more
blood, gather flesh and increase
the number of red, health giving
corpuscles in the blood.
Paiue's Ctlery Compound fills
the vessels with red blood, drives
out the dangerous humors aud thus
gives relief to a host of aches,
pains aud weaknesses.
Women and men who have lost
flesh and grown colorless aud are
subject to aches and pains, gain
quickly in health from Paine's Cel
ery Compound. There is hardly a
family of any size where there is
not some member who is feeble,
forever tired and below the stand
ard of health to whom Paiue's Cel
ery Compound would prove of
invaluable help. Not only does
this great invigorator drive out
the aches and distress that have
accumulated because of neglected
rheumatism or neuralgia, but the
libeial gam in llesh and blood that
is always a noticeable and encour
aging result of its use, bring about
better health in the digestive,
assimilative and secretive organs;
