FDR PEACE
Anglo-German Alliance Will
Lessen Danger of Gen
eral War.
Means a Readjustment of the
Balance of Power.
Regarded as Strengthening Position
of the United States.
The Hews a Veritable Thunderbolt to
Prance and Russia.
WHY GERMANY IS IN FAOVOR OF
THE OPEN OOOR-HOPES TO
COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY. WITH
BRITISH TRADE.
oonaon, --iay sninuuiice-
ment of the Anglo-German agreement
in regard to China signifies the most
t j rv x. cr rr a
important diplomatic event in this gen
eration. It implies more than ifcs ap
plication to the Chinese problem. It
means the readjustment of the balance
of power in Europe and the world.
Today's announcement is a veritable
thunderbolt to France and Russia. It
had been believed both in Paris and St.
Petersburg that Germany secretly de
cided to use her special grievance,
based on the murder of her minister to
exact territorial indemnity from
China, and tooth France and Russia
were not unwilling to see this ambition
gratified, chiefly because it would of
fend England. This alliance at first
perhaps would seem to he a Sacrifice of
jnoment to British interests in China,
but such is not the case. Germany has
discovered within the year what Amer
ica discovered a little earlier, namely
that British trade in the great markets
of -the east and elsewhere is vulneraDle
to energetic competition, and that the
maintenance of the open door was all
that was necessary to successful rival
ry. Thus Germany plans England's
undoing in trade while supporting
British policy in politics.
But it is the widen significance of the
allance which is most impressve. The
supreme fact of all is that the alliance
makes for peace, and the danger of a
general European, war, whicn undoubt-
edly has been coming closer, is pushed

JOHIT ELECTORAL CAllVASS
III THE SEVENTH DISTRICT
X E. Kandleman and J.E.Blair Du
ctus th Issues at Statesyille.
Statesville, N. C, Oct. 20. J. L.
Eandleman, .republican-lector, and J.
R. Blair, democratic elector, spoke here
J last night in their Joint canvass of the
district. About 200 people heard the
'discussion and thesaudience was nearly
evenly divided. Mr. Kandleman is a
young- man but is a brilliant speaker.
opponent is older and an
experi
enced campaigner, but could not hold
hi own with his youwg antogonlst.
wi is an orator, a reasoner and in all
a convincing speaker. He opened the
i discussion -with the democratic party,
which he. said brought forward free sil-
veras a remedy for the hard times that
fcad come to the country with the dem-
-w..
l"!Tr"
S A .....ji !.. 1 J 1
H$ asked if capital has not sought la
bor with a friendly hand during the
last four years, with the result that it
will not again adopt a measure that
would blight our welfare.
; He referred to the records of the re
publican party and democratic party
regarding trusts. The American To
bacco company, about which the dem
ocrats howl so hitterly, was formed un
der a democratic administration and
yet they adopted not a single measure
against it.
Bryan refused to he a candidate un-
less free silver was incorporated in the
platform and yet he claims it is not an
issue. If it is not, why did he receive
the nomination of the free silver and
populist parties? Why does he speak
from the same platform with them?
The silver dollar is worth but 47 cents
with the eagle crushed off, while the
gold dollar is still worth $1 as bullion.
We stand for a dollar that is worth a
dollar and tha republican party will
not permit our dollar to be dishonored.
Aguinaldo sold his people and his
honor to iSpain and yet the democrats
would have us turn over that country
to such a man, who has stabbed our
. .
I Mr, 33Iair opened with a few .whacks
at i opponent and then said everyone
should vote to his own interests. If
-Porto Rico is part of the United
J States, the principles of the constitu- ;
tion are applicable to the (people and
the 15 per cent tariff looks like an em- i
pire. If the president takes power out-
side of the constitution he assumes that
part of the people are free and part
not, and will have a half republic and
half empire. Militarism is
imperialism. You can't
the first step
override the
j army, and What does the merchant, the
; farmer, the .poor man -want with a
standing army?
' We will put all the trust made ar-
i L1lco VI1 Lmr A1CC
i will smash them.
The last fifteen minutes of his talk
was devoted to a "nigger" harangue,
attacking President McKinley and
Senator Pritchard.
Mr. Randleman was powerful in his
reply. He said Mr. Blair had not
shown a single remedy in his talk for
any of the evils. It is democratic op
position to republican principles, then
aid and assistance that is laying low
our soldiers in the Philippines.
If we have given the workman a
15-cent dinner pail, we have at least
given them more than soup houses.
(Blair complained .bitterly of the 15
cent dinner pail in his talk.)
The fifteenth amendment guarantees
to every man the right to vote and if
Senator Pritchard has1 introduced a
resolution to declare the constitutional
amendment void, he has shown his
patriotism. He said Senator Pritchard
had done more for North Carolina than
any man that ever represented us in
congress, and is the greatest man the
state ever knew.
If you would down McKinley for ap
pointing negro postmasters and revenue-agents,
why not damn Bryan for
speaking from the same platform, with
a negro, and after a negro, and for
giving the colored men the privilege o
forming colored men's Bryan clubs and

Wilkesbarre, Oct. 20. President
Mitchell and the executive comimittee
of the United Mine Workers virtually
decided to call another convention of
the strikers in order to consider the last
offer of the operators, and there is lit
tle doubt but that it will be accepted.
When the convention will be called is
not decided. The decision rats with
Mitchell, and he will probably decide to
hold the convention on Wednesday or
Thursday.
Scranton will be selected as the plact

ment among the strikers to accept the

The men fear that the strike will last
over election and then the operators
will withdraw their offer.

Thomas J. Jarvis arrived in Marion
from Rutherfordton last night and is
stopping over at the Eagle hotel for the
day. It was whispered around among
a very few that he had come to make

a mistake, and notwithstanding the
fact that some one rang a dinner bell
at the court house door three different
times the ex-candidate did not offer to
speak, and the large gathering, com
posed of six unterrifled Slmmonsites,
dispersed, much chagrined and disap
pointed. Jarvis says it "ain't no use,"
everything, politically speaking, is

take any interest whatever in the cam
