Birthem at Odds. Charlotte Observer. The populist and democrat parties in Nebraska are ha v imr a lively fight for spoils. There are tight or ten candi dates to succeed Holcomb for Governor and he is a can didate to succeed himself. Thfl fnsiunists will meet in three seperate conventions during the present week for the purpose of dividing the offices. The democrats now have but two out of twelve State offices and are making a pull for the governorship. The nonnlists. however, are determined that the Govern or shall be a populist and the democrats threaten to make trouble. In the hope of smoothing things over, some of the leaders telegraph ed to Col. William J. Bryan to allow his Dame to be used for the nomination for Oov ernor. They pointed out to him that by so doing, har mony would be restored, fu Hinn insured and a big rusus avoided. It was further urge that his selection for theo fice of Governor of Nebraska would keep him prominently before the people withou any necessity for lecturing until the war is over. Col. Bryan however replied postiv ely forbidding the use of his name in connection with the nomination. 2he fnsionists of Nebraska will therefore haye to work out their salva tion without the aid of Col. Bryan, and the indications are that the greedy populists are going to have things pret ty much their own way. Dom ocrats always get the worst of it in a dicker with the pop ulist. - We are not going to do any thing but call the recent killing of a negro near Scot land Neck by its right name. The evidence is, from this ois ance, that it was murder not lynching: and not for the usual crime, but for grossly ndecent conduct, which nev er the less did not merit death. We are not going to shift the responsibility from he shoulders of the murder ers, nor are we going to eon- done the crime. But we. do declare that the action of longressman White, Senator Pritchard, tho Postmaster General and the President of the United States (we take it that the first named is the prime mover and that the others nre responsible be cause they have the power to prevent) in appointing ne gro postmasters in our East em counties is not altogeth er to be eeperated from the disposition of negroes to be fien Jish or from the disposit ion of the whites to lynch them. It is almost an incen diary act to appoint a negro postmaster at Scotland Nack -not that it is illegal; but it is in the truest sense vin dictive and i immoral. Yet this has been done twice re cently. Congressman White is a negro, and his attitude can be understood; Mr, Pritchard's might be explain ed upon the ground of : polit ical obligations; but how can one believe that the Presi-. dent of t he United States or the Postmaster General are also bound to a most repre hensible policy by so mean a consideration? Indeed it is hard to believe that the Sen ator can be so unfeeling, in considerate and short sight ed, not to say vindictive and base. Biblical Recorder, Walter Howard a war cor respondent of a New York newspaper, has iuRt retamed from Cuba, and it is said that he brought with him an ex pense account of $33,000. This may be an exaggerated statement, but it is undeni ably true that the news paper8ofthis country have been put to enormous ex pense in securing war news. In consequence of this heavy tax upon their financial re sources, all the Chicago da- lies have iust increased the price of their papers from lc to 2c per copy. The Associa ted Press alone has four dis patch boats, the Dauntless, Dandy, Wanda and Cynthn, for which it pays, it is claim ed, a rental of from $2,500 to $3,500 each, per month.

THUllSDAY, AUGUBT, Ui Ig98. 1 - ' " ' ' - ' What It Cost To BinTke List Ute Kenite; Stanl'T Enterprise.' The last Legislature of North Carolina was a remark able body of men. In look ing over the Auditor's report we. find many inteiesting i- tems. In one charge there eeems to be some false , econ emy. litis for soap for va rious departments, $ 5,40. It must have been a lack of soap that caused so much dirty work in that brilliant bodj of men. In the State Senate there are 50 members. The Senate chamber is not larger than our court room in Stan ley county, yet it took 20 men, working at $2.50 per day, to attempt to keep it clean. Besides these 20 busy men, 15 boys (pages) at $ 1 per day were necessaiy to at tend the wants of the High Lords. Let the tax payers consider this; sixty five dol lars per day to hire help to attend theoO Senators and keep in order a room not lar ger than our court room. If you doubt that it took so much money, when you are in town we will show you proof of these facts. The Au ditor's report further shows that the amount paid during the session of 1897, was as follows, viz: Salary Senate members, $14,142,80; for employes in Senate for, sess ion 1897, $11,592,28. The employes in the Senate lack ed only $2,550,52 of receiv ing as much as the Senators. The question is, what did all of the employes do? The question to th9 voters is, do you expect by your vote to allow a continuation of such a state of affairs. The overture for peace may not lead to the desired end, but it likely will; and it is, therefore, timely, to look backward a little. It was Feb. 15th 1898, that tht Maine was blown up in Ha vana Harbor and 263 of our soldiers killed. March 9th Congress, in a great and al most unparalleled outbuist o' enthusiasm, appropriated $50,000,000 tor national de fense. April 21st war was at hand. May 1st Dewey as tounded the universe withnn uneq laled victory at Manila May 11th the engagement off Cardenas occured in which Bagley Ml. Ccvera entered Snntingo May 19th, and on June 3rd Hobson sunk the Merrimac in the mouth of the harbor. June 10th mur ines were landed at Guantan amo, June 22nd Shnfter's army landed on Cuban soil, July 1st and 2nd the battle of Santiago occured, and Ju ly 3rd Cervera's floet was de stroyed. July 1st troops lan ded at Cavite, near Manila. Julv 2Gth troops landed on Porto Rician soil. July 26th Spain made an overture for peace. The war has tnooved more rapidly than was hoped. It has not been a great tight ing war, at least all the great fighting was on one side. Biblical Recorder. CASTOR! A For Infant! and Children. The Kind Yen Hare Always Bought Bears the Signature of A Ceuntf tteket iug rested. Editor Democrat. H: - Having read with much in terest the various letters pub lished In your paper from time to time, giving the views of different parties as to the most suitable men for t h e democratic fin rty to nomi nate this year for the various county offices, 1 feeel con strained to giyeyour readerr my views, and in so doing I feel that I am milking known the views of the majority of demomocratic voters of thU (ttald Mountain) township. In the first place, I think we should be careful to see that our ticket is well scat tered over the county, and made up of the best material we have, and wo must have men who can make a cam paign that the conditions of both county and State de mands, and men who are well qualified ty discharge the du ties of the various offices. After carefully considering the circumstances which sur round the democratic party of ivntanjm county this year. I believe that wo could do no better than to heartily endorse W. 13. Councill, jr., for the Legislature, k. S. Ad ams for Sheriff, L. G. Max well for Clerk, A. J. Moretz, tor Treasurer, T. J. Ray for Uegistfir, and W.C. Coffey; W. h. Hendnx and IV. S. Farth ing for County Commission ers. And for Surveyor give us Thos. L. Critcher and for Coroner James South, lhope our people will be free to make known their feelings along this ilne, as we have all been invited by tho Democrat to send our views, etc. M. M, Walls. Todd, N. C, Aug. 3rd. ritteboro Record: The Record is reliably informed that at a meeting recently held in Newhope township, the Rev. Charles Hack ney, a well known colored par son, made a upeech in which he demanded more offlceH for the race. He Raid that the colored voters of Chatham are not satis fied with their treatment by their white political allies, and that tliev must have some of t h e county offices. He said that they would demand and be satisfied with nothing less than one coun ty commissioner and one colored member of the legislature, and that they ought to have a color ed congressman. This speech, or demand was received with loud applause by the colored people present. Comment is unnecessa ry. Oastonia Gazette: There is no harder dose In the newspaper in an ,s experience than to Im; call ed upon to support for a county office a candidate who isn t a sub scriher to his county paper. The Gazette isn't right certain that it is going to support a n y of that sort. If a man doesn't take his cnunty paper, it is for one of two reasoin, either he is not able or he just doesn't want to take it. A candidate w h o can't manage his own affairs well enough to be able to take his county paper is not a fit man to be placed in charge of county af fairs: if he just doesn't want to support his county paper, of course he isn't wanting or expec ting the paper to support him. Iu either case the candidate who doesn't take his county paper puts himself in a good way to be left. NO. 34: A Chicago Dry Goods Re' porter sayst To be on good ! terms with the publishers of local papers is, it more lm portaht consideration that many merchants realize. : One of State Street's raostsUcceKS fill advertising men told n.e the other day that much of his success was owing to h 1 8 policy of treating thenewBpa pers right. He said he was never too busy to treat their advertising solicitors polite ly, alwuys endeavored to a void friction in rogard to the settling of his uda, and in eV eryway tried to maintain cor dial relations. The result Is that the newspapers will go out of their Wav, and often do things out of the ordina ry for him. feMHth.
