7atauga Demo rat R:bert C. Rivers, ; ' 1 !, ; ' , EDITOR AND J'flOl'METOR, Thursday, Aug. 30, 1900. . Jh news from tbn natkin- ' ol campaign is more enrour nging than ever for demo cratic access. The New York ; World in n recent issue says flint Mark Hannn and the National Committee' are in despair at the npath.F of the republican" party towards president McKinle.v. -Thy have nof only ceen stime of the aliltst republicans in the country declaring for Bryan but they find it very dihVult to collect the "boodle" with which to carry on the cam pawn. It now looks" as tho' Mark had just discovered that the people of the United States generally are still in favor of the Declaration of Independence and that the people Htill have a lingering belief that all governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed, and that the war upon the defenceless Filipinos, a, peo ple that never has and never can do us anr harm, is no less than a great puhlic out lage; that everj nohle Amen can soldier who now sleeps in the hot sands of those far a way islands in a victim of a policy that is ur-American, unjust, undemocratic and in direct conflict with the funda mental principals upon which ourgovernment wasfounded. The one great, overshadow ing issue to be decided at the next presidential election is, shall the government of our fa thers continue, or shall it be merged into an empire? Shall we continue to abide under our ;'own vine and fig tree," fearing noevil.or shall we be drawn into an entang ling Hlliance with the natives of Europe. It would b3 n great pleas ure to us, would space per mit, to give our readers the speech of R. H. Battle, deliv ered at the unveiling of the Vance monument at the Si a ti Capital. Enjoyable as it is to rend it, what an op portunity it must have been to those who were so fortu nate as to hive heard it. He IMii the vast uudience spell bound as he told of the deeds, and daring of him, whom all North Carolinians learned to love and honor. All the cit iz'ns of the State feel justly proud that the stalwart, manly form which wore out at last, through indefatig able labors, for the State which gave him birthhas been perpetuated in marble, that will stand the wear and tear of Time's effacing finger, for centuries to come.

The ca n vans of the votefor the I Constitutional "Amend mont, Governor. J udgvs and other State officers has; been completed by theState Board of Canvassers, Majoi ity for constitutional amendment is 53,832. Aycoek's mijonty for Govenor is60,352, Conn rill's majority over Howman is G0.3H, ConncjU only ; rui ning 38 votes behind Govern or Avcork. It si-emu that the State ticket ran about 7,000 voti s ahead of tho Constitu tional amendment. These ma joriiies wewl any that was ever given in the State of Nuth Carolina for any men f r any office. This great ma jority in favor of the Demo cratic party and principles imposes great responsiblities upon those whom the people have so implicitly trusted. To build up the OldNort h State in all her various de partments should be the watchword ot those invested with power. The industrial and educational interests of the State should be quicken ed with new life and every thing possible should bedone towards the betterment of all our people. Some thief and a heartless one at that, that took from the premises of Editor Man ning, of the Ilf nderson Gold Leaf, six chickens and two hams. This is too bad and we know that the verdict of all would be that the one who would have the heart to steal from an editor deserves punishment in a severe form. The editor ot the Landmark would like to know why he had so much rations ou hand at one time? He might have known that he would have been robbed. Perhaps he will be more careful next time, and not indulge in ex travagance. There are 3,308 children employed in the cotton and woollen mills in North Caro lina who make, on nn aver age, 32 cents per day, says an exchange. It is to be hoped that the day is not far distant when it will be nn lawful for children to work in lactones. How sad to think of the children who should be in school in these heated crowded factories dwarfing the minds and bod ies and shortening their lives is enough to chill one's blood. Thirty-two cents will not "lot he much less feed these Mltlt unfortunates. During this hot weather men wish they were women and women wish they were men, each thinking the other haH the best of it. A man win sit out on the lawn, clad only in a shirt and a pair of men pants, and stick his feet up in the fork of a small tree; a woman can't-or, at least, she shouldn't. But a woman can disport herself from morn till night in the mysteries, undefined and in definite volumiousness of an airy mother hubbard; a man can't. We wish we were a woman, says an exchange.

The pros pects for a democratic vic tory in the 8th district -Mr jiiorHattering. y,, Judge Ceuiiclll Commissioned. -Morning roar, 26tb." r . ' i Go vernor Russell yesterday issued to Judge-elect W. B. Council! his commission as judge of the Tenth district of the Superior Court to, '"ora plete the unexpired term I -of Judge L. L Gieene, deceased, who died in 1898. : t J udge Council! spen t yestr day und last night m the city. He told a , member of The Post staff last night that he will convene his first court in Watauga, hie nntiveconn ty , on September 3rd. The Tenth district consists of Mc Dowell, Catawba, Caldwell, ll'atauga, Ashe, Mitchelb Yancey and Burke counties. Since the death of Judge Greene, ju 1898, the district has been ; presided over by Judge J. W. Bowman by vir tue of appointment by Gov ernor Russell, who had this preiogative by reason of the fact the Judge Greene died within thirty .days of the 1898 election, and the law governing tho filling of such a vacancy prohibits the hold ing of nn election for a sur cessor at the first general election after the death of the judge, and providing that the governor appoint a su"ce8soi until the election can beheld. It was in, accordance with this provision that Governor Russell appointed Judge Bow man (Republican), who re tired from the judgeship yes terday. The East Stiffen from Drooglit. Upon returning from a trip to the coast Col. Olds, in his Raleigh conespondenee to the Charlotte Observer has the following and more to say of the drought and in" tense heat in the east which is terrible. The people, in those sections have been as sembling in their places of worship and praying for re lief: "The air quivers with heat m the east. Miles upon miles of fine forest and of swamp are aflame. Saturday -some miles from the shore, near Beaufort, the mighty cloud of smoke was seen, at least 30 miles in length. Swamps never before drv are so now. und streams have failed in all directions. Wells are dry and there is almost a water famine in some sections. On the Aberdeen & AshboroRail road one tram has been dis continued, owing to thescarc ity of water, and shippers are notified that it; may be necessary to discontinue all trains. Even to the very shores of the sounds and the sea the crops are burned up. In Beaufort county corn is damaged 30 to 40 per cent., and in Pitt the tobacco is in- jured three-fifths. A great many trees are dying; both large and small." The government officials say that there are fourteen anarcaists instead of two. concerned in the attempted assassination of AfcKinley. They will be shipped back home immediately. A1I are thought to have had a hand in ine conspiracy. Mr. J.

Salisbury Truth I ndex..'--: '"' W hat reasa n, X hen, is there iu raising a great ; hue and cry because Dcinocra tic hews papers and ' lidf'iB call fet tentlon to the' fact that Me KLiuley hasa ptointed negroes to Federal offices all over the South ? . What he has done, he will do again if re elected. The fact is enough to cause all tine White Su premacy advocates so oppose the Republican ticket, and a few would be-dicrators can not prevent the Democratic papers, true to the Demo cratic doctrine of white rule, from calling attention to it and insisting thatMcKinley's negro appointments to Fed eral offices is a good reason to vote against him, and fop Bryan, who will not appoint a single negro officer in the South. Bj the way, who has raised '.'this tempest in a tea pot" any way ? What occasion is there for it? Independent newspapers and independent Democratic voters true to Democracry and White Su premacy, will not be frighten ed nor driven from the exer cise of their rights and the vindication of their princi ples by the threatening of a. few religions and secular journals which . to say the lasr, seem to fear that lie Kinley will be held to hi in famous record of appointing negro collectors, postmast ers, mail earners, etc., in North Carolina. We would rather see- a ne gro magistrate in Salisbury or elsewhere, than a negro uostmaster, which is possi- l ile if McKinlcy is re elected. During the civil war as well as in our late war with Spain diarrhoea was one of the most troublesome diseases the army had to contend with. In many case j it be came chrpnir and the old sol diers still suffer from it. Mr.' David Taylor, of WindRidie Greene rounty, Pa., is one nf rlies . He uses Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and says-he never found anything that would give him such quick relief. It is for sale by dealers. There is now a move on 'oot among many of the lead ing republicans in the 8th distii.t to take down E. Speni-er and again confei the honors upon Hon R. Z. Lm-nej-.

News and Observerr The large gathering that witnessed the unveilingof the monument of Zebulon Baird Vance in capitol square yes teraay were only the repre sentatives of the two million men, women and children in the State who bad a share in erecting the noole statute 6) the State's greatest son. There has been but one Vance in North Carolina. His love for his State and . devo tion to the welfare of its peo pie ought to stimulate every man of honorable ambition to emulate his virtues. Heal ways thought for himself. Ho stood for the ritrht and a gainst the wrong. If wrong was intrenched in high places he fought it with all the wea pons with which he was fur nished. This is the lesson of his life to young men. In this day frhen the power of syndi cate is great, the severest temptation to an aspiring young man is to seek their f ajv o r oy subservience to them. Such a policy often wins in the short run in poli tics and in the long run in business, but no mun who adopts it as a steppingstone to public life ever has a mon ument erected to his memo ry by the whole people, and no such man can still speak thougbdead to coming gener ations.
