Republican spellbinders on the
stamp uc saying that Roosevelt
stands far reform principles and
the great issue of hooeat govern
ment. In this connection I would
like to propound a few questions to
these gentlemen.
Did Rooaevelt stand lor honest
government when he pamcd a ser
vice pension act?
Did be stand for honest govern
ment when he took to his boaotn
Cougrcesmsu of araty
glove fame?
Did he stand for iefo«m when be
threw all his influence in fsvor of
the malodorous Gas Addicks?
Did he stand lor reform when he
embraced Tom Piatt, the most so*
torions corrupt ion ist in New York ?
Did he stand for hooest govern
ment when he made Payne his
Postmaster-General ?
Did he stand for reform when he
declared that Matt Quay had al
ways been his devoted and loyal
friend?
Did he stand for honest govern
ment when he ussd all his powers
as President to get an increase of
salary and a promotion for that un
savory grafter and mock soldier.
Leonard Wood?
Did he stand for r-form when be
appointed the notorious spoilsman,
Jim CJarkson, of lowa —whom be
had previously denounced—to a
ripe Federal position in New York
to carrnl the negro vote in the
South ?
Did be stand fat hooest govern
ment when he allowed the Admin
istration forces to be nsed, in vio
lation of the Civil Service rules, to
try-to nominate Lowden for Gover
nor of Illinois ?
Did he stand for reform when be
destroyed a Mississippi postoffice,
becsuse a negress had been asked
to resign by some of the citizens,
and never had a word to say when
a white postmistress in Delaware
was fired because s henchman of
Gss Addicks wanted her place ?
Did he stand for hooest govern
ment when he abandoned the en
forcement of the Sherman law
against the trusts until after the
election ?
Did be stand for reform when be
took Cortelyou out of the Cabinet
and gave hiui the job of holding
np the trusts ?
Did he stand for booest govern
ment when be had s $500.000 yacht
assigned to his personal nse, and
some minor vessels of the navy de
voted to the purpbse of amusing
the Rooaevelt kids?
Did he stand for reform when he
recanted all his utterances in favor
of tariff revision ?
Did be stand for constitutional
government when be made war on
Colombia, dishonored the treaty of
1846 and violated international
law?
Did he stand for law and order
when he put a pistol in his pocket
and conducted himself as an ordi
nary pistol toter ?
Did he stand for reform when be
took the pith of a Civil Service
rule he bad himself recommended
in Order to get rid of Miss Rebecca
Taylor, who had exposed the fal
lacy of one of his great orations ?
Did he stand for stsble, constitu
tional government when he indi
cated that a failure on the part of
Sooth American governments to
pay their debts and preserve order
would lend to interference on the
part of this country ?
When they have answered these
questions I have a few more to
propound.

The talk of official Washington
to-day is the letter of fudge Parker
accepting the democratic nomina

Universally it is acknowledged
that it is the strongest document

a statesman for many yean. It
rings dear and true in every sen

PAYNE BIDS OLD
EARTH FAREWELL
Disease of the Heart is Given by the Phy
sicians As the Cause of the Death of
the Post-Master General.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.
.Henry C. Payne, Postmaster
General of the United States, a
member of the National Republi
can Committee, a stalwart of his
party, with the history of which
both in his home State and nation
ally. he has been identified for
many years, died at his apartments
at the Arlington Hotel at 6:10
o'clock tonight, aged sixty years.
The death was announced in offi
cial bulletin issued by the attend
ing physicians, which gave the
cause of death as disease of the
mitral valve und dilation of the
heart.
Mr. Payne had been in poor
health for at least two years, but
his last illnem covered only seven
days, an attack of heart trouble
last week precipitating the end st
a time when after a rest he seemed
to have recovered a small measure
of his vitality impaired by years of
and honest, economical administra
tion of the affairs of government
It has vitriol in it for the head of
this Administration, owned and
controlled as it is by the plutocracy
and the trusts of the country, and
without saying one word in per
sonal abuse.
It is the cleanest skinning ever
administered to any man on earth
without calling his name. It it
this, to men who have been here
for years and watched the game, as
I have. I know how rotten and
rank are the departments and how
badly thev need the ventilation of
honest democracy.
I know bow full of cant and hy
pocrisy are the President's preten
sions and promises.
Judge Parker has sized up the
whole game admirably. He has
looked through the lens and has
seen it all just as it is. What
power, except that of honest, pa
triotic citizenship, ever gave him
the prescience to grasp so correct
ly the score spots of a rapidly rot
ting Adminiatration. I can't con
ceive. He has "called the turn"
and be ought to get ' 'four to one.''
Those of us who have caviled at
Judge Parker's so-called silence
and ultra conservatism should now
go "way back and sit down."
Those who have clamored for "moyt
ginger" in the campaign, now are
for ever hushed. He hss hit the
enemy a smash in the nose that
sounds like a bay mule a
fall (tut of a stable door with both
hind feet. He has made Roosevelt
look like thirty cents' worth of dog
meat. He has belled the buzzard
and hammered the immortal icfior
out of the republican party and all
it stands for.
He has written a message to
every conservative, independent,
patriotic, thinking voter of the
land that ought to make his blood
tingla and make him glad to vote
for a man who promises a return
of the kind of free government
under which be wants his sons and
daughters to live and rear families.
He has written a message to the
massrs of mankind that will live in
history aa a new Declaration of In
dependence from the thralldou of
plutocracy, pelf, graft, spectacular
imperialism and false pretense.

Rest From Tear Labors
(Written for August Enterprise)
Rest from your labors ye noble sons of toil
Let contentment be your theme through
out the day;
Through the sunshine and the rain ye
have tilled the yielding soil.
And passed the summer sultry hours
away.
Ve have labored well, and truly the vic
tory will he yoan
For the harvest time is coming by and
by;
The days of sun and showers that are
passing, now sasures
The closing summer days are going by.
They're going into the past to be remem
bered long
For the joys or sorrows ye have met,
Will go into the tuture, a theme for sigh
w song.
And thought of with pleasure or regret.
Then rest from your labors ye noble sons
of toil.
No warrior has made so great a fight;
No statesman is mote worthy than the
tillers of the soil
Nor can sleep so soundly through the
night.
From the early (lays of spring ye have
tramped the sunny fields,
The future wealth of nations to create;
Ve have pulled the cord which fasten-.
the standard to the shield,
And ever guides the good old ship of
state.
Be yours then the treasure our nation
has in store
For him who has borne the heat of day;
Let not the speculator deceive you with
his love.
And bear tne precious profits all away.
Your eyes now can feast over the field.
of growing corn,
Whose tassels are nodding in the breeie;
Whose sweetness upon every morning
breath is borne
To mingle with the odor from the trees.
The peanuts and the grasses spresd s
carpet rich and green,
The cotton shows its blossoms of creamy
white;
While out in the garden grows the cab
bage and the beana.
And watermelons geting sweet and ripe.
Then rest from your labors ye noble sons
of toil,
The life at our nation now ye bold;
Should ye fail 10 have a surplus of the
products of the soil.
Of no valve then would be our country's
gold.
More important then than treasures are
the muscles ye possess,
Tis by them every burden mutt be borne,
For the product of our labors go in every
home to bless.
The consumers of the cotton and the
corn.
The white sails that are folded in distant
iT" marts to-day
Will soon be drifting back sgain,
To bear the fleecy staple to lands far
away.
While others will bear the golden grain.
Then rest from your labors and ever
thankful be, ~
That God such blessings freely gave
To such noble toilers—"the noblest of
the free,"
And aa ever "the bravest of the brave."

FROM OUR RALEIGH
CORRESPONDENT.
Dr. Hogg Killed; A New Republican Pa
per, Editor M'Kel way to Retire; Amer
icans Mostly in the South; Etc.
RALKIGH, N. C , Oct. 3.
Dr. Thomas D. Hogg one of the
oldest snd most respeced citizens
of this city, and one of the weal
thiest men in the State, waa in
stantly killed Friday.
He was knocked down by a
shifting engine about 7 01 lock in
the yards of the Seabord Air Line,
near the Johnson street station,
and, falling across the truck, the
locomotive passed over him, cut
ting the body in two pieces.
No blsme attaches to the engine
driver as far as can be learned
as Dr. Hogg had been warned by
him a moment before the awtul
occurrence.
Fromall that can be learned. Dr.
Hoggs death is due to hi* own
carelessness, or, perhaps it would
be more correct to say his irrespon
sibility.
Dr. Hogg, who would have been
81 years of age Saturd ay, had
been suffering from mental lapses
for a year past, snd at times wus
not in his right mind, his condition
bein partly due to hi extreme age.
It is believed that he was in that
condition when he left his elegant
home, without the knowledge of
his family, and wandered to the
scene of his death.
Dr. Hogg had a passion for rail
roa ing, and in early life and mid
dle age had figured prominently
and extensively in railroad biild
ing, und of late he often went to
the locality where he met his death
this morning.
The deceased was one of the best
known gen leinen in Raleigh, and
the writer was told this morning
that he • hia year listed the largest
income tax >'f any resident of
this city.
His beautiful home here occu
pies an entire block, fronting on
one of the four streets the execu
tive mansion.
His death, and the manner ot it
especially, is great and generally
d ploied by our people.

A NKW REPUBLICAN PAPER.
The Republican Journal makes
its Srst appearaiue today. The pa
per is a seven-eolumn weekly, and
will be edited by Mr Claudius
Dockey, of this city.
Mr. Dockery is a man of good
ability, and his conduct of the ed
itorial columns insures interesting
reading. The paper is committed
by its editor to the moral and ma
tcrial upbuilding of the State. With
that as its mission, we welcome it
as an exchange, and as a factor for
betterment of our Commonwealth.

SUITOR H'KELWAY TO SSTIRE.
Rev. Dr. A. J. McKelway, editor
of the Presbyterian Standard and
for the past year editor of the Char
lotte N ws will shortly relinquish
journalistic work here to enter a
wider field of labor. Dr. McKel
way has accepted work of a litera
ry character, the nature of which
has npt yet been given out. which
will t. ke him out of th • state for a
portion of h s lime. The current
report that he wuuld take a posi
tion in connection with the Ogden
educational movement is denied by
Dr. McKelway. The date when
his resignation will take effect has
not been made known. He will
continue his connection with the
Presbyterian Standard.

ENCOURAGING CROP REPORT.
Rev. Livingston Johnson gives
out ttie following encouraging re
port of the condition of the State:
1 his is the fourth year that I have
been sccietary of our convention,
and during this time 1 have been
practically all over the State. lam
glad to bay that 1 believe the
Stnte i* in a better condition today,
materially, than 1 have ever known
it. The corn cop in the West is
immense Along the Yadkin val
ley. for miles and miles, there Is a
great sea of waiving corn, the fin
est 1 I ave ever seen grow in the
valley. No freshets have swept
over it and trie harvest promises to
be bountiful.
In Piedmont North Carolina the
wheat crop .s the tinest they have
had fo years, and the price is more
than th« farmers could have ex
pected when they sowed their crops.
In a trip from Mooresville to Salis
bury through the country, a dis
tance of twenty miles, we passed
through the finest wheat growing
section I have yet seen in the State.
Pis i j tat ion joined plantation until
it gave the appearance of a vast
prairie waving with golden grain.
The tobacco crop in most sec
tions is good,and the farmers sre in
tietter spiiits—very much better—
than last year on account of the
advance in price.
The cotton will, perhaps, be
short in most sections, at least the
crop will be smaller than at one
time was expected. This is gener
ally the case during a wet year,
l'he weed is so luxuriant as to raise
the expectations of the farmers but
the fruit is never in proportion to
the weed a wet year.
The farmers in eastern, middle
and western parts of the State aie
in good spirits. I have not heard
"hard times" this year. One old
preacher in the extreme west, in
pleading for missions, said that we
ought to increase our contributions
bt cause he had never known the
country so prosperous, "i say
this," ha added, "notwiths anding
tha present administration is in
power, though i belong to the oth
er side."
* * *
m'mbill oets a juqiment.
Editor McNeill, of the Carthage
Blade, will get the $4,500 judge men t
given hiin by a jury in the lower
court—all that is left of it after his
attorneys are paid. The press of
North Carolina will have no words
of to offer for Mr.
McNeill, for collecting damages for
injuries sustained while riding on
an out of-date 'free pass." after
he had signed away the right to do
so—whether he could be held to
his contract by law or not.

AMERICANS MOSTLY 111 THE COUTH.
North Carolina is the most homi
genious State in the American Uni
on, and Raleigh has about as small
per centage of foreigners as any
city in the State.
Some people will say this is no
thing to boast of, and yet we are
proud of the fact. Not that we do
not desire and would uot welcome
imigrants of the desirable classes,
but we do not want the the unde
sirable ones who are fast overrun
ning other cities and States.
For instance, here in a writer in
the New York Herald talking in
this way on the subject:
"How many years will i! be be
fore the Americans are extinct in
United States? I figure it out
that 1 the thing will occur before
the close of (he present century.
In New York, for instance, you
have got to do some tall hunting to
tind a real American. Of course,
many will say we are all Ameri
cans, but I, don't believe it. Mere
naturalization does not make an
American any more than rouge
makes a hoinely woman beautiful.
It's got to be in the blood and bone.
I'With a thousand illiterates com
ing from Southern Europe daily
and their proponsity for large fami
lies. on the one hand, and the in
creasing desire for small families
among Americans on the other, the
result must be obvious. It will
not b«- many years before the fine
American stock that had its birth
in the American Revolution will
have passed away, and like the In
dians, the white man that followed
him will be ju«t as great a curi
osity."
Let the good brother come South
to North Carolina, to Raleigh, and
recuperate his senses.
It is the fact that the South is the
true America of today in more
ways than one. And it is the gar
den t-pot of the world.
