I tel!evtd that the Democratic party under Clt velar d".. administration, Wet? unsaic, and that it wfs fostering the brood of trusts and Lines that had erorvu up uuder Republican rgi ne. I saw that j sloly and sur l the sirg-e yold standard was b-n;g lastered upon toe country, nna that Democracy, under Cleveland, was permitting this work ot ruin ami robherv to proceed. T my mind Populism was a protest against the in:quity and ring rule of both the dominant old patties, 1 have no apologies to make tor baving been a Populist. When I joined the party it was. in my judgment, lull time to call a bait in our nati-n d affairs, and to change iu our ever in creasing tendency towards the despotism of a heartless p!utoc rscy. I was boru and bred a Demo crat, find inherited a hostility lor and a repugnance to Republi canism. For the teachings and terets of that party Ihavereirh er sympathy nor to'eiatioo. Its trend toward centralization, and its rc rd of corruption in State and nation, have deepen d my enmity toward it. till there is not one doctri- e that it hoios in harmony with mv views. I left the Democratic pirty, as did thousands of others in the State, bceme it was growing, under Cleveland, more and ixore like the Republican party. Itsfiiau cial policy was exactly similar to toe financial policy ol J"bn Sherman, and when, under the whip and spar of President Cleveland, it finally struck silver its death blow, I joined with the po'iiical party that was born of this incident. I .did not unite with Populists to fi-ht the Dera .-erits onlv, but the slogan o our party was to do battle to all political organizations watch did not stand on our platform and espouse our views. The Re pub'ican party, the author of all our ills, was our arch er.etuv in th? co? tFct. 1 made the enmpnin in Frank lin county, in lb92, you will re memlHrr. as the nominee of ' the Populist party for the office o SherdT. 1 entered the fiht. aud carried the burden of the whole r.eket with the profound convic tion that I was right, and I be lieve now that, in its origin and rirst existence, the Poputist par tv was right. The central and main plank in our platform was the reforma tion of our financf, rspeciallv the free and unh nited coinage if silver at the ratio of 1G to 1. I believed in that doctrine then. I implicity believe it now. For two vcars the -Populist party met my views and fulfilled mv holiest ideas. I saw the wvhole country shaken, as by t s t o r ni w i t h t h e gr o w i n g s t r e n s t h of this young giant. B.th the old parties looktd in alarm at the increasing host ot those who arrayed themselves ;bcreath our bnnuer In the declnred pur poses of our growing army was the premise of sweeping reform Suddenly in North Carolina, seemingly without cause, cer tainly without excuse, I saw this party, which bo.astcd a pur ity unknown to both the old parties, begin a svstem of trad log and trafficing fn political honor aud principle, more de graded and more disgusting than has ever before disgraced any political organization iu the world. I saw men professing tbe same principles which I hdd.andmore vehement in their utternncethan I had eyer been, yote for gold hues, and barter their party's honor away with no thought of anything save tne pie counter at which they wete being fed. I saw them deliberately aban don their platform, disavow their principles, ite on equal terras with their life long enemies the Republicans and leave the few of us who value our political iuteyritv. without platform or party. I saw corrupt and iocompe- I , wv try ponui -...- .

I sav in ray own county ve croes elevated to positions ol trust and profit, aopoi.ited to aduinister the educational and financial matters aJ i (Ttirs ol white insti utions, and the votes of Populists rto iited by their leaders to brinr about this re snlt. 1 saw Ihe Populist part- taker bv its leaders and drliveted, like a fl xk ol sheep in the open mar ket, to the Republican organiza tion; it votts rtlied on to elect o office the same crowd ol vandals and carpet-baggers that bad looted the State in 18G9, and an i'tfamous and corrupt ttade dignified by the name ol "co-operation.' I saw the beginning of a reign ef debauchery that did not soarc even the poor iusane in the State A luru. I saw the Populist party that had begged for a lease ol power ; in North Carolina, so thev might demonstrate theexceilence ol ecouorny. lavish the State's money in wild extr.ivagatce, and create new t fiices by the score in order to teed them at the public table. I saw the sincerity ef the Pop ulist party tested time and time again, aud whenever the fight ctme between priticijjie and pic, the latter triumphed. I saw the Democratic party purge it&elf ol Cleveland, and. plank by plank, adopt as their own almost every demand of the Populist pary in its first great chatter, until the Popu'st lead ers boldly charged that the Dem ocrats had stolen their platform. and thn I saw the Populist par- i ty ueiioerately walk clt tnat platfotm and coody put on the Republ cau uniform. The rank aud file of the Popu list party are not hi tLe organi zation lor the sake of o.Iice, and they cau hardly realize that the v nave been so bitterly deceived and betrayed by their leaders. This lail auot her election wiil be held, making four iu wLich tbe Populist p-trty has partici pated siuee its birth. Again we are called upon to violate and belie every soUmn declaration ol our platform and to fuse with aud vote ltr gold bug Republi cans and incompetent L.egrees. This will irake three elections' out of four in which we have been sold out, traded away and trailicked lor l;ke chattels, in which we have b?cn asked to vote lor rren whose lives nnd po litical principles are a flat con tradiction to every line of our plat'crra. I know not how it may be with the o'.her voters in Frank lin county, but as for me I have made up mv mind that no man with an atom of self respect, no man who is honest with rimsell and who votes from principle and patriotism, can follow these treacherous leaders any longer. I have left the Populist party, exactly as I j ioed it. for the ake of ptincipii. I solemnly ap peal to all good, honest white men; to nil the men who love their homes and their country, and to whom their wives and sisters arc dear; to all who de sire to rebuke traltois aud polit ical adventurers', to abandon it as I did. For a Southern white nan the Democratic party is the great, the only party now. It l.olda within it the onlv possibil ity of relief from the disgraceful conditions that now make the name of our State a reproach and a by-word. To those who who followed me t?ut of the pnr ty iu 1S92 and voter? for me, 1 have only a sene of deep grati tude, and for their sakes I now appeal to them to follow me bick into the party that we left It promises most for our coun try, it promises all for our man-, hood! f.

Fiehtinc from a Turret. Coiiier'e Weekly. - Between the guns and the sides of the turrets are stationed the men who tend the training motors, open and close th breech, and clean out the pow der chambers. In rear ol each gun is a power lul electric fan, in tended to drive the smoke out of the turret through tbe bore ol the gun, and a hydraulic ram mer with which the half ton pro jectile is forced up into the guu. At this rammer stands the gun captain, wbo superintends the loading, and the first sponger, who sees to the preparation ol i he gun for receiving the charge. Between the platform on which these men stand and the face ol breech is a li"ht trap door coy ering a shutt up which the am munition lifts are hoisted from the handling room below. Od the girders between the guns are stationed the men operating the ammunition lifts, the water ser vice, and the various signals aud telephones. There is a disposition to chat-j ter auiong the appreuticts; the; suspense is great and inaction isi hard to ber, especially as all ol the Iigut guns now seem to be engntd. Train on the eutrance to the b.irboi! The motors utter a groan and the ponderous cylinder swings slowly roind, wheezing and rumbling. The range indicator mounts quickly to 'J 900 yard and stops: the telephone rings and its attendant reports. "Fire at will." The telescopes are set with a turn of the wrist, while with the other hand the guns areelevated until the cross wires sweep the hoiizon; but thr smoke from the light guns is thick aud nothing is distinct. Suddenly there is a ritt, and in it appears the black hull of a ship a stranger, but aft she car ries a graud ensign marked with the blood and gold of Spain. From her sides ard turiets there i a continuous play of lightning flashes but the din ot nearer guns allows no sound from her to be distinguished. Ode ques tions uncertain v for an instant: "Is she fighting? Is she bring at us? Is this a naval battle? Aud then comes the eager anxiety to do oue's own part and to do it well. The sixteen men about the guns are now siltut and expect ant. The turret turns slowly slowly stops. Tne ship is roll ing gently, while the enemy's hull between her smokestacks is sw eeping on to meet the descend ing cross wires of the telescope; the oil! cer, with all his soul in his eye, p waits the eolhmatioii and at the instant pi esses the hrirg handle. Tlu re is a deafen ing roar, a blirtling flash, the great gun recoils wildly into the turret, and then slides smoothly out again. The air is filled with smoke; two m;n are already turning like tnad at tbe plug crank, aud, as the hah ton block swings aside, a third directs a stream of water into the cham ber. A turn is given thefce'evator valve and the breech swings up high, allowing the water to run tlosvn the bore and out of the raezzle. The gun captain takes rharge, and the officer turns to the other gun. He glances at the range md cator 2.GG0 yards sets the sight, and a moment la ter the smoke lifts again. Two Spanish ship; are now out and a third is in theentrancc; the first one seems on fire. Was it from his shot? Who can tell? For a dozen heavy guns are fir ing at her. A seconriVdater and the trainer swings the neatest ship into his field, and he fires airaia. Anotner pair oi men swim open the breech and the'eiety. P. O Box 75, Raleigh, N hose is pointed down the bore. In the meantime tne nrst gun has leen lowered ictoits loading position, tne ammunition car ias been hoisted ia rear of it and the rammer has forced home the shell. Twice more it enters the breech, each time pressing before it 275 pounds of powder With ifs last withdrawal, the empty fimmunition car drops out ol sight, the breech plug is swung into plf-ce, the guu captain step? forward, shns in the primer and connects the plug? of the firir.g wires.

The men couh and ap; d wn in the handling room they are fainting. The smoke has deposited a gray Fcurf on skin and clotbes: its alkali ha fttaektd the paintwork and (tvntd it to a slimy soap; the black drippings from the gun washing has fallen m loul so'otches down the turret walls a d lies ic puddles ou the floors t The Eastern Towns Given up to Negroes. The fusion between the Popu lists and Republicans was verv unnatural. Tnere were no prin ciples in common. There were really no common objects of in erest to the people in view And, as might have been expect ed. this unnatural alliance has been productive of much evil. Elsewhere we have dwelt upon the injury it has done by lower- ing the standard ol political morality, in prostituting sul frage. and leuding fiee-silver 'opulists to vote tor gold-bug Republicans. There was anothet consequence, ihe negroes con tituted the large mass ot the Republican party, and the black cohorts were faitbiul to the tu sioa. Commou decency required that these faithful allies of the Pnr.u'iats who had co operated with them in obtaing control oi the Legislature, should receive their share of the spoils. The alliar.ee had not been made in order to subserve any public in terest. but only to secure spoil?; aud the negroes wc:e entitled to their share. They could not be given o fiices that brought them in contact with the white voters of the west. That was out of the question, for the western whites woulj not stand that; and so their share ol the spoils was laid aside lor them in eastern locali ties. The eastern to wns were to be given up to theru to be sub ject to their misrule, to be ob j "Cis c; tluir prey, and to lie looted bv them The city and town charters were "reformed" by the "reformer of the reform Legislature, so as to put the ne groes oti top. Who did this thing? Why the Populists in the Legislature. Tne Republicans were uoc able to do it alone bi't the Populists helped them and the charters were accord ingly "reformed" so that the ne groes might be in the saddle and have their hands in the tow-n treasuries. Jim Young prepared the Ral eigh charter, but he counted w rong, and the w hites outvoted him, and that city was saved Irom his clutches. History Prize Contests.

The military man who, next to Colonel Roosevelt, has been tottunate in tbe reputation he has made out of the war seems to be General Wh.eler. He has failed conspicuously placis both at Santiago, when General Shat ter was ick, and more lately at Camp WikotT. Being an older man than Colonel Roosevelf.and not put together with the same q-jality of rivets, he bad the bad luck, which Roosevelt escaped, to catch the lever inopportunely f at Santiago. Lverv one knows how resolutely he minimized that disadvantage. All that we heard rf him iu Cuba, and all we have heard of his labors and re ports nnd observations at Camp WikofT, have tended to make folks tbiwk of him ai a truly val uable citizio, wise, active, effici ent, a very able soldier, and possessed ot an admirable spirit. Wherever we hear of him, he is doing good. Whenever we bear ;rom him, it i something worth attention. It is matter for thankfulness that he is a mem ber of Congress, and that when uiihtaiy and other important measures come up there next wiii ter his voice vvi'l be heard and will carry weight.

Taking a census is fraught with considerable difficulty in Turkey, and statistics are almost impossible to obtain oa account of the passive resistance placed in the way of investigations by officials and people alike. Thus, i he correspondence between tbe Board of Health oi the Ottoman Empire and the Chief Clerk of the Provincial Government of Dam ascu? urnishes an amusing example. The Board of Health, worried by the reports of cholera spreading in the southern prov inces of Turkey, tent out a circu lar with blanks oontaining four queries to all the cities of Turkey. The cjuer es were: 1 . What is the rate of mortal ity per thousand in jour citv? 2. What is the annual number ot birth? 3 How is your supply of drinking water as regards health, and ho much per head of the population? 4 What are the sanitary con ditions generally prevailing in summer and in winter? The Damascus official replied a3 follows: 1. Iu Damascu3aIlpeop'emust die according to the will of Allah, some in their old age, others while young. 2 That we don't know; Allah alone may know it. 3 Since we can remember no one ever died in Damascus for lack of water. 4.
