ROSS DONNELLY, I , Frtsi Oar Regalai Oerressenoent. - The, insistent demands of the Democrats together with a final realization taut a con tray course would cost thousands of votes on' election day .have induced 8peaker Cannon to permit tha passage of a resolution provid ing for an investigation of Rep resentative Lilley's charg of brie bery, in connection with the ap propriation for submarine boats. The report of the Rules Commit- tee, which accompanied the res olution and which set forth the charges of Mr. Lilleyy merely serves to excite wonder as to how the Sneaker could have for a mo ment contemplated suppressing tbesechanres. The men who are to conduct the investigation are Representative. Boutell, of Illi nois, 8tevens of Minnesota, JOIm stead, of Pennsylvania, Republi cans; and and Howard of Geor gia, and Broussurdof Louisiana, Democrats. It is earnestly hoped by the Democrats at least, that they wilt ' be able to probe this matter to the bottom and' some them expect thai if they do they will unearth some very un savory matter Apropos... of Speaker , Canuon, the news comes from South Car olina that the two delegates whom it was reported had been elected to the Republican nation al convention and instructed for Cannon, were elected at a fake convention composed of a litttle group of negroes headed and manasred by a negro who has just completed a term in jail. If this is the character of delegates with which the anti administra tion forces purposA to carry the national convention HgainstTaf t it will mean, in th judgment of prominent members of Congress, a walk-over for Mr. Bryan. There is every indication that the strongest assistants Mr. Bry un will have this year are the Re publicans who are seeking to de feat Mr. Taft in the race for nom ination. There is Senator Crane of Massachusetts, for instance. He has gone to Boston to try and prevent delegates from in structing for Taft. Senator Lodge, on the other hand, has come out with astateTentto the effect that he is for Taft. Every one who knows Massachusetts is convinced that il these two states men once break the combination by which they have so long con trolled the State the Republican party will go down to defeat in this normally Republican strong hold, but in the bitterness o their opposition neither Lodge nor Craue appears to take that fact into consideration. So, ;too, in New Hampshire. Senator Gallinger, who is repu ted to have been elected to the Senate through the friendly as sistance of the Boston - & Maine Railroad, is engaged in war to the knife against Taft This is all very well, so far as Mr. Galling- er's personal interests are con cerned, bnt this is the sort of war fare which Democrats have soo! ten engaged in to their loss and if the Republicans can be induced to keep it up the Democratic gains next November will be ama ting both from their extent and from the q uarters In which they will be made. ' ' Another Senator has passed to his long rest since the first of the session. Senator Proctor ol Ver raont died last week; Senator Lattimer two weeks previous Probably Senators are not more superstitious than other peopl but they appear to be uuable to avoid the thought, who will be the third? for .like many other people they believe, as a rule, that Death always claims its vic tims in groups of three. The House has passed a bill re imbursing the Roman. Catholic Chur h for damages done by Uni ted soldiers in the Philippines, the troops having on many occa sions been olliged to occupy the churches as the only available place of shelter. The total amount of damage .has been fixed at 1103,000, which is the amount carrried by 'he bill. It was rath er surprising to hear certain Dem ocMtic members, notably Sones, of Virginia; and Garrett, of Ten nessee, speaking in violent oppo sition to the bill. Mr. Jonen de clared that he was opposed to the United States paying for vest merits and incense pots. The ma jority in the House, however, took the ground that it did not concern them what the property was that was destroyed, as long as it was valued by its owners, andthe bill was passed by a vote of 183 to 3. Reports are reaching Washing. ton from au over the country to the effect that the Democrats are perfecting efficient organiza tions in every Congressional dis trict and are working without riction and in perfect hHrmony. This means, of course, that the Democrats will be in position to put up a great fight in Novem ber and the news is received with the utmost gratification by the party leaders in the national cap ital and with no little concern by the more thoughtful leaders on the other side.

(Charlotte News.) .This drink bill represents al most everything of disappint ment, danger, and disaster that we know. The wisest statesmen admit it, educators and and po litical economists say so. Statis tics overwhelm us with the facts, the church ol God staggers and trembles with a sense of it, thou sands of hearts' are breaking be cause of it An issue? The saloon i au enemy of the home, a social tyrant, the corrupter ot politics, the incarnation ol greed, misrule and anarchy. No grand or self governing people, no prosperous homes, no peaceful social order, no joyous republic, no serene com inanities can be built upon and amid its perpetual rains. One hundred and ninety thou sand saloons each good for from five to twenty votes stand sol idly at each election for the main tenance and perpetuation of this hellish system. Prayers, because unaccompanied with works, have failed to lessen or reclaim the evil to any great extent License has not materially re stricted, and 'gospel temperance' has not conquered it. It is in pol itics. It will be in yours and mine unless we vote it out of exist ence. ' This we cannot do so long as the prayers, sympathies, moral sympathies,' moral efforts for its overthrow, running through three hundred and sixty-four days, twenty-three hours and fifty-nine seconds, are dissolved by a licensed vote at the pivotal last second. Yes, and it ought to be. Revo lution is better than corruption, better than crime, better than the death of the republic. The blowing up of two or three rows of buildings at the time of the Chicago fire would have sav ed the city. Some human heart must ache, some human heart resolve, and some human hand touch the forces of government, aided and inspired by these convictions, ere Justice and Judgment are set in the earth, and the righteousness of God goes forth as a lamp that burneth. The independent voter has but one question to ask: 'Is it righ t?' not, "Is it popular, pleasing, or expedient?" Reason, home, man hood, public safety ,tjood morals, good government, yea, the life of the nation, are involved here. Womanhood mother wife, sis ter, friend her life, comfort, neace. are logically involved you and I are involved. New or- ganirat ions are inaugurated that have declared unoquivocally for the overflow and absolute anni hilation of this monster drink curse, purity ot law and law-ma ker. for Qur common school sys tem, for God, and home, and na tive land. . Is this ideal too ethical or the oretic? So is the kingdom of God among men. Ana yet, lie nas prtffaixed it shall come. Do you pray the prayer? Then help the fight. Lay aside party idolatry. Iuvigorata, read, fiud the truth, then show the world that you dare to vote it. v Iks MethoJist Orphanage. ' - I: ) . As is generally known, the Western North Carolina Confer ence of the M. E Church, South at its session held in Salisbury j last November, decided to build an Orphanage or Childrn's home somewhere in the bounds of said conlerence and apppointeda com mittee compned of the following gentlemen: Revs. G. H. Dewiler, Frank Siler, N. R. Richardson and Harold Turner; Messrs S. B. Tanner, J. A Glenn, G. L. Hack ney, George F. Ivey, J. K. .Nor fleet, C. H. Ireland, S. L. Rogers, and J. L. Nelson to locate the home and take such steps as they fouod to be necessary lor the es tablishment of the same. The committee held a meeting in Hickory last week and Mr. Nel son, who attended this meeting, informs us that flattering prop ositions looking to the securing of the home were presented to the committee by Hickory, Lin colnton and Rutherfordton. He also informs us that the propo sitions Irom Hickory and Lin colnton were ably presented by large and enthusiastic bodies of representative citizens from both of these good towns, and tha1 the committee was deeply im pressed by the interest thus sbownbytheminthis noble cause. The location was not decided upon and the committee is open to the consideration of any oth er propositions that may come before them. It is the purpose of the committee to put a financial agent in the field at an early date and to press this noble work as rapidly as possible. We know of no more christian like work than the taking care of the helpless orphans, and we trust that the efforts of our breth ren to do this may be crowned by the success they so richly de serve.
