The last Legislature was worse than the one preceding it. and if the Republicans succeed, the next Legislature will be worse than the last. It Is not necessary to produce Democratic witnesses in order to prove what a disgrace was our lst legislature. We need olv t cite, or quote, what was said by the two leading Populist papers at Raleigh the Caucasian and the Progressive Farmer. These two papers had mo!e opportunity to know all about our last Legislature be ing published in the city where the Legislature was in session and we copy from them the fol lowing extracts: "Up to this date the Legis lature is a damnable disgrace to the State." Caucasian, Febru ary 27tht 1897. "The good done by the Lesis lature could be printed in a small pamphlet. The bad done and the good omitted would fill sev eral large yoluoaes." Progres sive Farmer. "There is some talk of an ex tra session of the Legislature. Please don't. Governor Russell. We can endurefamine, pestilence, .vrouth, war; but don't inflict any prolouger1 agony on the State such as an extra session." Progressive Farmer, March 2, 1897. "As to the Legislature of 1897, the one now in session, we have to say as a fact that it has won the contempt of the people gen erally of all parties, and wrehave to say as an opinion that we do not believe that it can overcome that contempt in to years time and feence cannot get the approval of the people." Cau casian. "The Legislature onlv has about ten days now to complete the work, and it hasn't begun the work yet. Let the miserable pie hunters go to work or go home." Progressive Farmer, February 23. 1897. "To a man up a tree it appears that the Pops nominated some extremelv sorry timber for the Legislature last year." Pro gressive Farmer, February 26. 1897. "About ten more days remain of the legislative session. Unle?s there shall be, within this time, an almost- miraculous chance, the record of the Legislature will be nothing, abolutelv nothing. All it will have done when it ad journs will be the spending of $60,000 or $70,000 of the pub lic lands for which nothing will be returned." Caucasian, Feb ruary 25, 1897. "Of course there are some good men here, who cannot, in justice, be held responsible for the rec ord, but we are speaking of the Legislature as a whole, and un less that record shall bepbenom enally changed within a week it will be the imperative duty, and we think it v ill be the pleasure of the people, to see such a crowd is never sent up to make laws aeain." Caucasian, Feb ruary 27, 197. "The rarious committees to whom bills are referred seem to be composed of men who are either generally indifferent or pitiably ignorant. It is almost impossible to get their attention to any bill that does not carry some job with it. Caucasian, February 27, 1897. "Let the investigation of the charges of bribery by promises of patronage and money to in fluence voters for Pritchard pro ceed. Pritchard's friends say the charge is not true. We believe that some of the charges are true. Investigate or stand con victed." Progressive Farmer. "Thus the people's money is being divided out to pay politi cal reward. There is no help for it now. But the tax payers of North Carolina will speak in thunder tones at the polls when there is another election. No party, no man has ever been able to run rough shod over the people of the State, but a short time." Progressive Farmer.Feb rnnry 23, 1897. Truth wears well.

Chicago Record. S870 and 1893 Contrasted. The present crisis in North Carolina is the tnosl momentous in its annals. The period em braced between 1868 and 1876 is by some regarded as a paral lel period. They diier, however. Our State was not redeemed from the Radical and Military rule that dominated the State in the Reconstruction period and some year thereafter, until 1876 when Vance led us to vic tory and the Democratic party was restored to power, and lor twenty years they administered the government with wisdom, prudence and discretion. The contrast between the two periods is a striking one. In 1870 the negroes had not been reduced into subjection by the low white Republicans as now. They were inclined to destroy property in 180, and sometimes our lives were imperiled and sometimes sacrificed. Warns were burned in all of the coun ties and the incendiaries went unpunished. The aegro vote was not solidified tben as now and the progress of negro equal; ity has made great ett ides since then. The antagonism between the races has greatly intensified since then. Insolence was then unusual, and the nameless crime was then unknown. Since 1868 the negroes have made great progress, and we fear their progress has not been in the right direction. Their ed ucation has been advanced in the schools, but their moral de velopment has retrogaded. They have less self reliance, self-respect, gratitude, virtue. There has been an apparent increased de velopment in their beastial pas sions, in their vicea and in their superstitions, until they have become the dupes and catspawa of the most vicious class of white men on earth, who herd them like cattle, inflame their ft clings of animosity against the white race, and use them as a ready factor in party politics, and these vile leaders flatter their vanity and cajole them with promises of social equality and political distinction. Elizabeth City Economist. An Editor Loose. This is the way the editor feels when he does his sentiment in blank vtrse: "I would flee from the city's rule and law from its fashions and forms cut loose and go where the strawberry grows on its straw and the gooser grows on its goose; where the catnip teee is climbed by the cat as she clutches for her prey the guileless and unsuspecting rat on the rattan bush at play; I will catch with ease the saffron cow and the cowlet in their glee, as they leap in joy from bough to bough on the top of a cowslip tree; and list while the partridge drums his drum and, the wood chuck chucks his wood, and the dog devours the dogwood plum in the primitive solitude. "O let me drink from the moss grown pump, that was hewn from the pumpkin tree! Eat mush and milk Jrom a rural stump, from folly and fashions free new gathered mush from the mushroom yine, and from the milkweed sweet with pineapple from the pine. And then to the whitewashed dairy I'll turn, where the dairymaid hastening hies, her ruddy and golden-red butter to churn from the milk of her butterflies; and I'll rise at morn with the earli Mf hird. to the fraerant farm yard pass, and watch while the farmer turns hia herd of grass hoppers out to grass. Pacific Union. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. By Eif at Tfeecsssd Voter, at the Wait Man's CaevcaUoa la Oeidsbora. October 2Stk. We, a portion of the citizena of Eastern North Carolina, in Mass Meeting assembled, being misd iu! of the obligations we are as suming, and being desirous oi informing our fellow citizens of the conditions of affairs in our section of the State, do publish to the world the following plain statement of facts: First. The population of .this section of our State is divided in to two distinct races the An glo-baxon aad the Afrfian. Second. That in some coun ties the whites exceed the blacks, and in others the blacks largely exceed the whites, bat in all of them the negro is found in large numbers. Thitd. It is not claimed even by hia white leaders that the negro is capable of administering a government. On the contrary the man who is the present Re publican Governor of the State has declared in the most em phatic language that he is whol ly unfitted for it. Fourth. That in many of the counties, cities and towns ol Eastern North Carolina the lo cal governments have been turn ed over wholly, or in part, to the negroes. Among these we men tion Bertie, Craven, Edgecombe, Halifax, New Hanover, Warren. Greenyille, New Berne and Wil mington. In these counties, cities and towns negroes may be found holding the offices of Reg ister of Deeds. Deputy Sheriffs, Constables, Justices of the Peace, School Committeemen, Town Commissioners, Policemen and the like. In several other coun tier many of these ofSces are filled by negroes, and that many of the postofSces are filled by , them. " ' .,- . : Fifth. That counting the ' offi ces of Register of Deeds, Deputy Registers. Deputy Sheriffs, Con stables, Justices of the Peace. School Committeemen, Town Commissioners, Policemen, Postmasters, Collectors, store keepers, gangers, and the like there are now in office in coun ties and towns of Eastern North Carolina, nearly one thousand negroes, there being nearly three hundred negro magistrates alone. Sixth. That as a consequence of turning these local offices over to the negroes, bad government baa followed; homes have been invaded, and the sanctity of woman endangered. Business has been paralyzed and property rendered less valuable. The majesty of the law has been dis regarded and lawlessness en couraged. In many localities men no longer rely upon the officers of the law for protection, for they are known to be incom petent or corrupt. Conditions have become so intolerable in these communities that they can be no longer tolerated or en dured. Seventh. That this negro domination was made possible, and these deplorable conditions were brought about through a division of the white men at the ballot box. Had the white men remained together as they did for many years, these things n cqu a not nave seen. yp Eight. That knowing these evils came aoout tarouga a di vision of the white men, the White Man'a Party has been zealously working for montha to re-unite the white men at the ballot box, where these wrongs can be righted and these evils remedied. In view of these things it Is re solved: 1. That the Republican lead ers have a second time clearly demonstrated their inability and their unfitness to govern North Carolina: 2. That the .time has come when those who have followed these leaders should no longer do so. and that all men who love their State and their homes should unite in one supreme ef fort to redeem the State and to placrhonest, capable wfcite men iuoficein State, County, City and Town. -. "'.'- 3. That our appeal has been. is now and shall continne to be to the ballot box and to honest white men. We have contem plated no violence, bat we are determined to use all proper means to free ourselves of this negro domination, which is para lyzing our bttsincss and which hangs like a dark cloud over our homes. 4. That we declare it is not our purpose to do the neero any harm. It is better for him, as well aa for us that the white man shall govern; that while we propose to protect and encour age him in all bis rights and du ties of citizenship we affirm thai North Carolina shall not be negro "zed. It is ot all the States ol the Union, peculiarly the home of the Anglo-Saxon, and the Anglo-Saxon shall coyern it 5. That we affirm that no uch conditions exist in the State as to testify Senator Pritchard in calling upon the President to send troops to this State, or in the Governor in issuing his brntal proclamation, and we oereby condemn in the most un measured terms the conduct of Senator Pritchard and Governor Russell in attempting to make it appear to the outside world that he descendants of the men ot Mecklenburg, Halifax, Albe marle, the Cape Fear, of Ala mance, Guiliord Court House and King's Mountain need the military power of the Govern ment, which they helped to ereate and organize to compel them to observe the law. The white men of this State, above all others, are interested in main taining law and order, and for them to be charged by Senator Pritchard and Governor Russell With having a purpose of becom- mg insurrectionary citizens is a yile slander, and we denounce thm The have been leaders fn establishing negro domination amone us. and they are, there fore, responsible for the condi tions now existing, and in ap pealing to the President to send troops into this State to aid them in maintaining negro dom- - . , 1 i T mation, tney naye snown ia'. thev care less for the honor and renutation of their State than they do for their official posi tions. : - 6. That it is in the power of the Legislature te restore to the white men of eastern North Carolina the manage ment and control of their local government; that if the Demo cratic oartv shall be placed in control of the Legislature this will be done. If the Republican party is placed in control it will not be done. We, therefore, ap peal to our white brethren in every section of the State to go to the ballot box on the day ol election and rote for Democratic candidates for the Legislature. 7. That a learned and pure judiciary is necessary to the preservation of the rights of the weak, as well as the strong. The Democratic candidates for this hiffh oosition are men learn ed in the law, and of eminent fitness for this great office. We, therefore, appeal to all white men who desire learned and pure men to sit upon the bench to work and to vote for Democrat ic candidates. 8. That the President and Secretary of this meeting are herebv directed to cause this statement of facts, and these resolutions to be published in all the papers of tne State, and tnat the Democratic Executive Com mittee be reouawted to eive them the widest possible circulation among the people.

Recent eyents have invested Santiago with so much up-to- date interest that we aremoie apt to overlook the past tradi tions of the ancient capital of Cuba, says the Atlanta Consti tution. Santiago harbor is alleged to haye been discovered by Colum bus in 1502. on one of the sube quent voyages which he made to this hemisphere after first un barring its mysteries in the cele brated voyage which he made in 1492. According to ancient chronology, Santiago itself was founded by Diego Velasquez in 1514. On the most conspicuous hilt overlooking the harbor Mcrro Castle was built in 1640 by Pedro delft Rosea. Subsequently, in 1661, it was destroyed by the English, who captured Santiago in that year. When Spain's a u thority over Santiago was once more restored, there was no de lay in re-building Morro Castle, and the work was soon finished, under the directions of Philip IV. This is identically the same forti fication in which Lieutenant Hobson was recently imprisoned, which might long ere this haie been leveled with the dust were it not for the fact that the offi cers of the American squadron had reason to believe that its destruction might compass the death of the hero of the Merri- mac. Some apparently well informed writer in the Chicago Daily News states that the cathedral of Santiago is the largest, as well as, perhaps the oldest in Cuba, and that in the theatre which fronts the Plaza de Armas the renowned Madame Adelina Patti made her musical debut WW T many years ago. we ao not mean to class the debut of the noted singer among the ancient traditions of Santiago; we men tion it in this connection for the sake of convenience. The same writer from whom we quote. goes on to say that from Santia go in 1518 Juan de Grijalva set out to conquer Yucatan, and that also from this same port in subsequent years, Cortez sailed for Mexico and De Soto for Florida. There is only one other town in Cuba which claims to be older than Santiago, and that is Baracoa. According to the tra ditions of this town, it wa3 founded in 1514, or two years before Santiago was founded, but there is nothing definite upon which the truth of this conten tion can be based. For many years Santiago was the seat of Spain's authority in Cuba, and even to-day it is one of the most important cities on the island, its population amounting to something over 200,000. Pfgoon Quaker. A gentleman who was travel- C7 ing recently near Chester, Pa., came across a farmer whom he took to be a Quaker, and de termined to please him by talk ing to him in the Quaker dialrct. As he told the story afterward, this is how be succeeded: "How do thee do, sir? I that is are thee meditating? If be was delighted, he controlled his emotion admirably. All he did was to gape and inquire: Hey?' "The fields, the birds, the flowers." I pleasantly pursued. are enough to bting thou dreams I mean dreams to thou.' "He was looking at me now and critically. I felt that my syntax had been yery idiotic in- stead of idiomatic; so wiping the sweat from my brow and hat, I eyed him calmly and ob- observed: 'Those cows, are they thv's or thet's that is thou's durn it! I mean thine's?' "It was very unfortunate. He crawled down from the fence, nibbled at a plug of tobacco, and as he ambled away, mut tered indignantly: 4Go to Bed- lam! I'm a farmer, but thank heaven! I'm not a loonatic.' ' Ex. - Red Hot From the Cun Was the ball that hit G. B Steadman of Newark, Mich , in the Civil War. It caused horn ble Ulcers that no treatment helped for 20 years.

The Republican fusiooists are driven, in their extremity, to charge that it is the purpose ol the Democracy to ''diflrflnchUe poor whites and negroes." Real izing that all other falsehood have failed to terve their pur pose of (uttber deceiving the peo ple, they have seized ob to this and are uving it in all manner of ways, and almost in as many varieties of language, from the vulgar vernacular ot their party lo the grotesquely and absurdly inconsistent. The people know the constitu tion can ol j be amended or al tered by the votes of those now entitled to vote. To disfranchise any one must vote himself on the proposition. Was the desire ever so strong to deprive anv class of voters of their right to vote, it could only be done by their own consent, by the alter ation of the, constitution both of the State and the Uniteo States. And on this proposition to alter the State constitution the very persots it ii said to dis franchised would have to vote for or against. No honest man. fit to be out of an asylum, can usert the contrary. Hut under the decision of the present Republican Supreme court of the State, the Legisla ture can provide such govern-, ment for the towns and counties as will secure white control; and this can be done in one town or county and not in another. In the counties controlled by white men, no interference need be ex pected, but where oegroes do or threaten to dominate by virtue of their superior numbers, there may be not the slightest doubt in the world but that the next Legislature, if Democratic, will orescribc such form of govern ment as will secure the control of affairs in the hands of the in telligent white citizens. It is best for all races that this should be done, it Is absolutely essential to the protection of life and property that it be done. Gov ernor Jarvis, in his speech at Asbeville, told the people of that county: "It 1876 we (speaking of the east) come to you asking you to g.ve up some thing. This time we do not ask you to give up aayth ng. If you are satisfied with your county government you need Lot change it." And this was said and intend ed to apply to every county in the west having full white ma jorities and which stand in no fear of negro control. So this last charge of the ene my falls to the ground. White men need not be deceived any where. Nor do we wish to de ceive colored men. The rule of the latter in any section of North Carolina, even constructively, must end. By this the negro will not be injured or deprived of any just opportunities to enjoy the fruits of bis labor or the pursuit of happiness. It is best for him as well as the whites that Dem ocratic purposes in this matter shonid prevail. They will ore- vail, so surely as the white men of the State proye true to their highest interest. Raleigh Post. There Is Negro Domination. Mr. W. E. Fountain, ex Chair man of the Populist State Exec utive Comittee.at theGoldsboro mass meeting of white men, said: "I endorse every word that Mr. Simmons has said. His words are all true. I endorse every word in the resolutions In troduced by Governor Tarvis. Its statements are true. There is Negro Domination in EasterYi North Carolina. I endorse the position of Major Guthrie. "I am not a politician. although I have recently been chairman of the Populist Execu tive Committee of the becond Congressional district. "My motives in joining the Pooulist oartv were eood. The - . conditions that now exist in North Carolinacannot continue. It is oaralizine the business in terests of the State, and white men without regard to party ought to come together and chance it. "I am a business man. In my recent efforts to interest capital from abroad to invest in North Carolina, in building up our business and developing our re sources. I have been met every where with this neero question, and told by those whom I have souebt to interest, that they would not invest a dollar where I the negroes had sway as they did in North Carolina."

Philadelphia's Jubilee. Philadelphia, Pa., October 27. For three hours to day William McKinley, commander-in-chief of the United States armv aad navy, saw his victorious soldiers and sailors pass in review before him. It was military and naval day of the great peace jubilee. Twenty-five thousand men were in the most brilliant and spec tacular pageant the country has witnessed in many years. Within a semi-circular enclos ure of the big reviewing stand ia the magnificent court of honor, the President stood erect and uncovered throughout the entire precession. Here and there, when some particularly renown ed body of troops marched by, the President smilingly waved his hat and motioned the crowds across the way to cheer the men who were their heroes as well as his. Major General Miles, as chief marshal!, rode at the front, im mediately behind the emergency corps, until he reached his special reviewing stand at Broad and York streets, the northern end of the route. Here he dismounted and from the stand watched hia men file past. General "foe" Wheeler; rode behind the Governors, his 'gray bead bared for some few minutes before and after the presidential stand was reached and bowing repeatedly to the President's waving hat and the applause of the party and the people gener ally. Gen. Sumner. Capt. "Bob" Evans, Commodore Philip, Capt. Sigsbee, Col. Huntington, with bis marines of Gaantanamo fame, all received tumultuous greeting, but, after all, perhaps the loudest ovation was thai given Hobson and his M err i mac crew. They rode on a tallyho and as they reached the review ing stand, all rose, faced the President and bowed their heads.
