The WaUuga Democrat N Jburadny, May 6J8U7. Our state legislature nnd the ridiculous Dinftley tariff oreofficient to destroy the grand old party for ever in cluding those Pups, who went over to ih radicals for pie. If honest men will not conletnn such legislation we judge our time is about up, so far as our boastod Repub lican foitn of government is concerned. The gold stand ard "high pro'mive elans nave the people a bout ruined and unless the voters of tbi country wrench the grip . from 11s we are doomed to fl oancial destruction and the country is ready for any out break. The people fcd their e islaved condition and have no respect for the laws and will feel at liberty to enterin t the ro'ber,v as is dona by those w ho pretend to rule t he country. This a deplorable condition and is growing worse. What will be Ihe end? We have hopes of th future only if the .people will rise up as a mlghly host and with the ballot bury these robbers of the people, so deep that there will be no resur rection. - Will the people do it? They have fhe power, uut money seems to be a greater power. We feel siik at heart over the condition of our country. It is grow ing worse eveiy year, times are worse today than they were a year ago. When will we have bptter times? When the robber tariff is a law? This is the only method to be inaugurated bytheifepub Ibnns in power to improve the condition of the country, levy more tai on the neces sariesof lite they say and bring about the flush times. ; A man by the name of D& Boe was elected US. Senator at Frankfort, Ky., a few days ago. . He is a republican and Succeeds Senator Blackburn. The long struggle is ended. Dr. Hunter withdrew after he was indicted by thegrand ju ry and DBoe was nominated by the republicans. The gold democra" ts would not vote for Blackburn. The election of 'a Uniteo States Senator has been a great scandal and has brought reproach on various legislatures. The machine is rnn by money, and many of the members received corrnp tion funds for their votes. The .North Carolina legislature spent nearl.y half of its time voting for United States Sen a tor; the Kentucky legislat has lone the same thing and now the Florida legislature is following suit. It is evi . dent that the manner of elec ting Senators ought to be changed. The people ought to elect not only the Senators. but the President by the pn ular vote of the people, but it seems there is no hope of this ever being done. , The tariff bill has been re ported to the Senate by the committee and a general dis cussion will take place. The bill as pow stands is changed very considerableand is ranch more than any bill ever pre sented. All the protection in cluded in the bill is to benefit a certain class more thanto raiee revenue for the govern ment. Where the government gets one dollar tariff the rih men who furnished Mark Han na the boodle in the, last cam naignget about five dollars. The farming class gets noth ing oupnhetariff.

We werf pleased to see that Ral eigh, Asheville, Salisbury, Wil mington and other towns in the state hayesetdown ou radicalism. Asheville elects her mayor by 34 majority, whbh was a close election but 34 majority is good enough. Knleigh elects bj 400 major ity, Charlotte elects an inde pendent democrat ng iiinst WedJington, theregularnoiu inee. Fayetteville elects a democratic mayor. Durham goes democratic and (J olds boro gets her entircticket; It is very cheering to us d i s ', couraged democrats to know that old North . Carolina is coming to the Iront again with pure and undented de mocracy. We have a letter from Siato Treasurer Worth in which he snys he will notice ognizetLe tax against drum mers levied by the "late la mented" legislature. The nat does not tax foreign drum mere and only taxes our own drummers. OJ course the law is a mean one but how can the Treasurer ignore it at his own sweet WiM? The late revenue act has been decided by the State supreme court -uncon stitutional. There neverhns been sneh & mess as onr State is now in. Some think that the Legislature wi!l be called, back in extra session. The Governor is not favor able to an ?xtra session of the legislature. Gov. liusHell knows that if he brings them back again that it will make a complete failure and bring more odrnm and disgrace to the State. We sincerely bope that this incapable crowd will never again assemble as law makers. at Raleigh. De liver us from further " afflict ion on this line. Never in the history of our State was there such an incapacitated crowd called a 'Legislature before. Let all the people send up a prayer to Gov Kussell that this crowd never be call ed to-gether again. The Southern Raptist con vention is now in session a' Wilmington, N. C, and will hold a week. -This will be a great meeting and is looked upon as a great event by the religious people through out the Southern States. Dr. Whitsitt president of the Theological Baptist semi nary of Louisville Ky., will be tried for heresy which will no doubt cause considerable comment. The Centennial at Nash ville, Tenn., has opened and vast thronge of people are in attendance. President McKin ley pressed the button, and th great machinery started like a great living mass and 6,000 cheered. Governor Tay lor made a great speech. Since the big war between Greece and Turkey there is but little said about Cubn. But there is enough known however that Cuba is still a live and kicking. The cruel treatment by thj Spaniar Is has intensified thetn to such an extent that the war will still continue. Turkey has had theadvan ipge a) a general thing ever the Greek troops and it is now believed that the war will soon close by the inter vention of the powers, for the present at leas.

Why not profit by the experi ence of ot hers who have found a permanent cure for catarrh in Hood's SarBnparilla? The Clinton Democrat tells fa Sampson county man who found a rat nest in a hollow sill under his stables. He made .war upon the rats and killed 160 grown ones and nfi unknown quantity of little ones. , The cold weather hns been universal through out the countiy. The planted Vrops have suffered. The fruit in most sections has been damaffd considerably. We tfill have plenty of apples in the mountains. It is said that theExkimos have a queer custom in re gard to doctors. At each vis it the Dr. is paid. If the pa tient recovers the, physician keeps the money; ir the pa tient dies Ihe money is retur ned to tho family of the de ceased, says the Pi egressive Farmer. The Senate now stands 43 republicans, 33 democrats and 12 populists and silver republicans.
