V There will be aernocratic tnajt.rity of not less than ten n' the next House. That ib he Why the Democratic Con- gretwonal 'Campaign vCom- mitte figures it out, and in doing the figuring allowance fins been made for every r?a sonable contingency. Repub icahs iirivAtely admit" that heie figures are very conser yative, and that they have almost given hope of retain ing control of the House, an es- theif is change in pub ic spntiment amounting al- most; to a stampede before e- ecnon oay. ven me uepuu ican Congressional Commit tee has not been pntting out any claim, exwpt in the most perfunctory wh.f, of a repub- icori majority in the House. On the.contrnry,' its chair man, Kepiesntative Hancock', has been preparing his party for defeat. Among the con- tingenif8 allowed for by the Democrat ' Com niittee a re loss pf seats in New York and Pennsylvania, which the par ty managers in those States are confident of saving. - Mad as therepublican lead ers are with the lust of power and rorquest,'nnd as deter mined as they ere to try to turn t his liberty-loving repub lie into a. world-conquering empire, rounded on no uign- er principles than that which dominated the dark ages of youth "might make right" they do not dare to publicly proclaim tnat purpose as plainly as ex-Congressman Dui)gan,; of Ohio, once a dem ocrat, did in a speech made in Washington, in which he attempted to justify Mr. Mc Kinley, and bis imperialistic policy in the Philippines. The following senterce from Mr. Dungan's speech reveals the truth inwardness of the re publican policy which they have been so anxiously tty ing tri conceal by general talk about bettering the condi tion of the poor natives and improvement i n American commerce: "in my opinion, title is fixed only by the sur vival of the fittest, and that is why America is going to rule the earth." In other words, no people's title to their own country is good against the greed and avar iiw'of a stronger country. Surely a majority of Ameri cans are not willing to enter the 20th century champion ing such a document. Representative Livingston, of Gn., thns sums op the at titude of the two parties to wards trusts: "In a recent speech made by Senator Bev- eridge, this statement says that the republican party, as weff as the democratic party, is opposed to trusts, only the republican party propos ed to limit and regulate trusts, while the democratic party would do nothing. Now, this statement was made to Intelligent people. If this is so, how; could Mark Hanna.go to Baltimore and get from the trusts of that city alone ' f 80,000 while Bryan, .even had he tried could not have got 80 cents. Senator Hanna has 'said there . ure ; no .; trusts. He knows and so ' aoes every thinking man or woman that this is false.;. Here is evidence of the trusts. - This year, it takes, 2Q . per, t cent., more wheit to buy a plow than it did last yea rTTltv takes 20 per cent. more coin and it takes from $4 to $4.50 a month more to live1 now than it did "a'r'vear , ago. Why is this? It. is because ' of. the triists.".-.. '.(' ,... How desperate the republi can managers are getting may be judged from their having ordered the party press to try to make politi cal capital out! of the exper ience of Teddy in Colorado. When the navy Depart inent rejected the bids for ar raor for warships, put in by ine armor trusts, and an nounced that Secretary Long would exercise the authority conferred upon him by Con grens to establish an armor making plant, if better bids were not submitted. It was predicted that the armor busts would get the con tracts, if they made a satis factory contribution to the republican campaign futid. That prediction is in a fair way to be verified. Secre tary Long has been dicker ing with the agents of the trusts, and it is officially an nounced that he expects to make a satisfactory contract with them for the armor, which doubtless means that Hanna has already made a satisfactory arrangement with them for campaign con tributions The Chinese Minister to the United States having succeed ed so well in getting the ad- . . s . . ministration to act in ac cordance with his private ad vice h&s gone a step farther and is now giving the admin istrntion public advice through the medium of news paper interviews.

Lookout for preposterous republican claims. Orders have gone out from Republi can National Headquarters to the party newspapers to print coutinually and con spicuously during the three weeks previous to the election paragraphs, claiming states enough to give McKinlej 25 or 30 more electoral votes than he had in 1896. The idea is said to be that su?h wholesome claims persistent ly made, will catch voters who wish to be on ' the win ning side.

Falwkoodi f BUekkirn-ltei. VS'llkesboro Chronicle. : .The Blackburn fello ws'ha ve begun their usual process , of campaign lying. They are circulating that Mr, Buxton W9fc removed by court from the guardianship of some children in Winston," because of mismanagement of the af fairs. The court refords show that: : 1. - Mr. Buxton has been guaidian twice in his life: 2. He was first guardian of the children of a deceased friend.' It was eettled in full, as the records show, and un der his management the es tate considerably increased, ho that he turned over to the children r a much larger a mount than he received in trust for them. The record further shows that he did not charge the ten per cent, com mission which the law allows, but he turned that, too, ovei to the children because of the friendship exising betwf.en him and the deceased parent. a. The other time he was guardian was for the children of bis own wife's sister, Mrs. Shelton. The record shows that this matter is settled in full. It also shows that Mr. ?uxt.on loaned Mr. Alspangh $6,000 of-this estate. Mr. Alspaugh was recognized to he one of the best and safest business meu of the country at that time. He however became insolvent, and Mr- Buxton went down into his w I own pocRet and paid rue $6,000 thus settling the es tate in full and not allowing the children to suffer a single cent of loss. This is Mr. Buxton's rec ord as guardian. What rep rehensible conduct Mr. Black burn can discover in this rec ord is beyond the ken of boo est men. Perhapj he finds in it such a difference, beaming as a beacon light of honesty and true manhood, in com parison with bis own official record, when he' remembers hov? ns U. S. Commissioner of Ashe he took fees to not send cafies up to the court and how by his pleadings in tears he got' Judge Dick to keup him from the stripes by re signing the position that he must needs try tne last re sort of a rogue 01 crying "stop thief" for the purpose of distracting the gaze of the people from his own corrupt sell. This gives a glance at the character of the two Congres sional candidates, Choose ye between them. Good News for Oar Reader Who nave scrofula taints in tbir blood, and who has not? Scrofula in all itsforras is cured by Hood's Sarsapa- rilla which thoroughly pun fies the blood. This disease a m which frequently appears in children, is greatly, to be dreaded. It is most likely to affet the glands of neck which become enlarged, erup tions appear on the heat and lace, and the eyes are frequently affected. Upon its Hrt appearance, perhaps in slight eruptions or pimples scrofula should be entireli eradicated from the systen oy. a thorough course o Hood's Sarsa pa rilla to pre vent all the painful and sick ening consequences of run ning scrofula sores whUh drain the system, sap the strength and make existence utterly wret?hed. I. Witty Red Mm. In "Travels in New Eng and and New York" Presi dent Dwlght, of Yale College, tells a good story of Indian wit and friendship. In the early days of Litch field, Conn., an Indian called at the tavern and asked the andlady for food, frankly stating that he had no mon ey with which tn pay for it. She refused him harshly, but a white man who sat by not ed the red man's hali-famish-ed state and offered to pay or hte supper. The meal was furnished, and the Indian, his hunger satisfied, returned to the fire and told his benefactor a story. "You know Bible?" said the red skin. ' 1 The man assented. "Well," hard the Indian, "the Bible say, God trade world, and then he took him and say, 'tie good, very good.' He made light,- and he took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he made dry land and water and sun and moon and grass and trees, and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he make beast and birds and fishes, and took him and look at him and say, 'He 'good, very good.' "Then he made man and took him and look at him and say, 'He good, very good.' Then he make wo man and took him and look at him, and He no dare say one such word l" This last conclusion was uttered witb a meaning glance at the landlady. Tkat AMociatlea Middle. Editor Democi at: We, the members of Wa tauga Baptist Church, wish to rectify some mistakes made by G. W. Trivett in bis article of Sept. the 16th. - He stated that he was in formed that we had no board for him or any one who vo ted the democratic ticket. We say that this is untrue, for any one would ha ye been welcome in our homes, re gardless of their politics. As for hispreachingalmost with out pay, we say that he was not justifiable in that state ment. He also stated that not a single memoer of t b e church, save two, invited him home, witb them, and we, the undersigned do s o I e m n 1 v swear that we gave G. W Trivett a cordial invitation into our homes at the Asso ciation: J. L. Barlow, Geo Berry, Ruffln Berry, Charley Coffey, A; C. Calaway, also E. M. Gragg on the first day of the Association, invited him to get down, turn his horse on pasture and have dinner, bnt he said he had been to dinner. To this state ment of tJ. M. Gragg A.

It was Spen-,.. cer's acts iu the Legislature , and others of his Uk . that made it absolutely .necessary to adopt the auiendment.,E. Spencer must tell the ; people that he and bis Legislature elected a negio dooi keeper over a maimed Confederate:; soldier, and put in other ne- , gro otneeraover white men; that he and his Legislature abolished all the safeguards which the Democrats had, thrown around the white peo pie of the -En 8t and turned the eastern cities and. coun-, ties over t;o negro rule,, the most disgusting and corrupt in the history of the nations; that he, his governor and his legislature selected hundreds . 01 negro officials over white people. , Thus they made it by their own perfidious acts , absolutely neeessary for the white people to protect them selves with the amendment. E. " Spencer and his crowd must not now whine and slobber over the consequenc es of their own acts. Raleigh Post: Mr. Andrew ' Joyner, of 'the Democratic Executive Committee of the Eighth district, has just re turned from a trip through Wilkes, Ashe1, Alleghany, Wat augaand Caldwell cu din ties, . whither he went with Hon. J. ' C. Buxton in the latter'scan- vnss. Mr. Button met1 with a most encouraging recep tion throughout, and arous ed the Democracy o f the counties to theimportanceof the work before them. If the ' counties of the district east of the mountains make the gains for Democracy that Joy ner, thinks those west will make, Mr. Buxton's election is assured by a good major ity. The good people of that district cannot afford for such a man as Mr. Buxton ' to be beaten. Without any reflection on Mr. Blackburn's character, it is but the truth to say that his capacity for tendering real service cannot , be compared witb that of Mr. Buxton. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney Trouble. Kidney trouble prey upon the mind, dis courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ne cneerfuinesa soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, If the urine scalds the flesh or If, when the child reaches an ago when It should be able to control the passage. It Is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these Important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the , kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy. The mild and the Immediate effect of Swamp-Root U soon realised.
