These differences mHHnated in the diverse views enter tained when our constitution was adopted as to what constituted the proper functions of the government. Party platforms inave anvajs supposed to be the exponents of these views. A bloody civil war settled the question of State's rights and .for. a quarter of a century the waving of the J'wwiTr- sliirt" on tne one siue "nigger in the wood-pile" on the other constituted the dividing lines. -I say ,t every man on a purely sectional question, ke white supremacy is a traitor and a renegade who does not stand by his own section ana nas own rwni. 1 sav that any man, on oomes tic problems of internal concern should as far as possible, bow to the behests of his narty.

Out of changed in dustrial and economic conditions have grown great national question pertain ing to the material interest of the coun try, which must be considered . and settled by that silent force, the reserved patriotism of the people. DEMOCRACY BROADER THAN SECTIONALISM . Fellow citizens: There is no greater menace to the stability of our govern- t ttinn a larcre iminoritv in the American congress voting upon broad, vital non-partisan American questions, from purely sectional considerations, I am a democrat, honestly desirous of re maining so, and witnessing the triumph of the party to which I am attached, by Association and heredity. It was never contemplated, however, by the found ers of that party that it Should TDecome a purely sectional affair, yet today therejs no democratic party capable of changes in any country. These -$hges were in progress and our war WitStSpain served as a flash-light to show us what was going on. In 1896 we had a campaign upon the money question. Everything was depressed. Men seeking employment, cotton under five cents, wheat below the cost of pro duction; and idleness, discontent, dis trust and misery everywhere. We were told that the salvation of the country depended upon the free coinage of sil ver. I believed then and i" believe now that theoretically we were right, but new and unforseen forces came Into play and I have enough sense to reo- osrnize the fact that the "restoration of confidence" about which Tklr. Cleve land talked, and about which 1 did not know enough at the time to understand, the discovery of gold in the KlOndyke, the influx of money from, abroad seek tn? inimctmont nd increase in banking facilities for the time at least, have settled the money question, and nnhndv font a fool would make a "free silver speech" now. Instead of a de pleted treasury there is in it today the largest amount of gold in the history of the country and actually, the secretary of the treasury, a few days ago, de posited money in a 'Spartanburg bank, something that has never teen done before in the history of our State. I feave been listening for somebody to cry out "republicanism'' because I was instrumental in beginning a (movement which I hope in the future may enable onr fathers and merchants to secure money at a lower rate of Interest. Another great change as the result of the panic of 1893 is the rapid develop ment of our export trade. Our home markets abroad, and one enterprising firm in Birminghamv Ala., shipped 250 tons of iron to Europe. At that time iron could be bought for $6.00 per ton In Birtmingham and this small shipment six years ago Was the beginning of the one hundred and thirty million) tons ox iron that we shipped abroad last year. Today entire Europe Is alarmed at the development of our commerce and we, see every day indications of a trade combine on the part of Europe against the United' States. In the financial world, instead off depending upon Eu rope as we did seven years ago for our money, England Germany and Russia have recently had to come to New York to place their government loans.

Will ba Nearly -a-Week Before Main Line is Opened to the East Transporting Passengers by Way of Chattanooga. TO EXTEND CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT TO CUBA Victoria, B. C, May 22. The United States revenue cutter Grant was wrecked this morning on anchartered reef in Sanch Inlet, where she had gene to look for a smuggler. She was going at full speed and" struck heavily at falling tide. She went down rapidly and Capt Tozier and crew took to the boats and are now tented on the beach. Wrecking apparatus has been sent from here. Effects of the protracted rain which ' concluded Tuesday night with a few futile drops, prove more far reaching and disastrous than was at first-supposed. Just when railway communication to the east will be re-established is a matter of doubt. It will very probably be a week be fore trains can be run over the line from Asheville to Spartanburg. As soon as possible the road to Spartan burg will be opened, and the regular trains between Asheville and Salisbury will be run around by 'Spartanburg, in addition to the regular traffic over the Spartanburg line. A force of 125 imen will be put to work on the Spartanburg road, at Hen- dersonville. today and will work to ward Asheville. We hope to have the road in running condition by tomorrow night," Chief Clerk Acee of Superintendent Loyall's office said last night. "We hope to send out the regular train for Spartan burg' Friday morning. The prospects are that it will be five or six days be fore the main line is opened to the east." Two trains have come in frorn, the west since the flood the only passenger trains into Asheville since Tuesday morning. The through passengers on the train that came In Tuesday after noon from Knoxville remained in the city until yesterday afternoon, when they were sent back via Knoxville, Chattanooga and Atlanta for their des tinations in the east. Asheville pleases the visitor per force as well as the vis itor who icomes "a-purpose," and these passengers were aeugntea wim men stay. ON THE MAIN LINE. Immediately after the storm Super- intedent Loyall of the Asheville divis ion of the Southern went out on the line to the east, and is still in-the ffeld supervising the work of repairing the storm's damage. There are a number of bad elides on the mountain - sides. The bridge, at Flat Greek will have to be rebuilt, and a number of other bridges are in bad condition., The Catawba river was very high, and the railroad bridge at Catawfaa station suffered. A train was run from Salisbury yesterday as far as Statesville. The main line bridge at Biltmore was completed yesterday af- ternoon. mere is a uriug uuvvu be tween Old Fort and (Marion. The pas sengers on the train from Salisbury, which was caught near Round Knob, were taken to Round Knob hotel. Supplies were sent to them from here yesterday morning. The Southern's loss from the storm will hardly be less than $50,000. NO MAIL. The great bulk of Astueville's mail comes from the east, consequently there has been practically no incoming mail for two days. Unless the railway and postal authorities decide to route it via Atlanta and Chattanooga the people of Asheville may rest assured that no mail from the north will be received v,or hp.fnre tomorrow afternoon, and it an old timer them. "I don't think this is as bad as a storm we had in tne twenties," said the latter. "If you wdQ tear the weatherboarding off that old house yonder, at a certain place, yovB will find a mark on the logs 'beneath that will tell the story." This was done and it was found that the water had been several inches higher dn the twenties than It was in "76. Two years ago a storm did more damage than thisl one has done to the Spartanburg road, and the road went out of business for two weeks. The main line suffered more this time than then, however. The oldest chimney in Asheville, on thei west bank of the river near the end of the county bridge, was undermined' by the water, and fell in yesterday. INSERT ADD STORM A TALE OF MUD. Yesterday four Asheville gentlemen walkedl over from Hendersonville, ton the very sufficient reason that this was the only means of travel. They say, TiT-rvaHnrt the dirt road, too, for; that matter is, througgh the Mud! creek swamp section a sight to behold. In some places the water covers the track to a depth of several feet while in other places, for Idag distances the dirt naa been washed away, leaving the rails landi cross ties suspended inl air. In other places the Tails anldl crossties went down with the dirt and are buried irt the mtud of the swamp. A number of times the gentlemen in question took a Qeta f fhorvhood days by removing shoes and socks, rolling up trousers and wading through the" .water. They say it is impossible to tell when a train can ibe run over this line as the entire (Continued on fifth page.) I LABOR TROUBLES RESULT !N MURDER. Erie, Pa., May 22.
