SENATOR I'RITCHAItD'S PLOP.
Senator; Pritchard, who flops
from one side of the ' money ques
tion to the other nearly as often as
the seasons chaajfe, has now declar
ed it is said, that he is in favor of
free silver. . v
The leading editorial in the
Raleigh" Caucasian, the populist!
organ, yesterday in speakiig of
Senator Pritchard says: s
"In nearly every speech in the
last campaign Senator Pritchard
gave the puWic to understand that
ne oaa cnangea ms views Jie , is
rep rtnl uut only by the news
papeis, but by those who heard
him speak, to have usd' copies
sion like the following: "1 hive
changed my mind about the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to I. I now think
that it would be disastrous I
favor it if we can feet it by inter
national agreement. I stand flat
footed ou every plank in the St.
Louis platform, 1 he financial plauk
and'all." Again he 'is reported
in a speech in Metropolitan hall to
have used the following language.
'1 he free silver people want fret
whiskey, free trade and tree silver
and everything free but free ne
groes H In short when he did not
keep silent, he ridiculed and be
li.ded tree silver, which is on j
one of the first steps to fim.ncia.
reform , more money and .el ief.
"Can any populist support a
man for the highest and most im
portaut legislative office in the
country, who expresses such
views? Besides the leading re
publican paper in the state, edi
torially set forth that Senator
Pritchard bad changed and would
in the future stand squarely bj
the ''sound money" platform ol
the National Republican party .
but that he would vote fur fiet
silver till the 4th of next March.
The editor stated that he ha:! a
letter f:oiu Senator Pritchard on
this question ai d that he was stat
ing his position. . i
""Continuing" the" raucaiotf sa j
further:
''In the first place no populisi
could afford . to vote for Senafo
Pritchard ocenping this position,
even-if hf had iu-' changed last
summer.' In the second place, no
populist can afford , to v te for a
man for senator who t;as .flopped
around as be has, no matter w hat
he pledges now.
"No populist can maintain him
self or his party unless lie takes
the .am? stand toward enatr
Pritch.rd A y populist who is
satisfied with his course need nev
er t have joined tI.epeopV par
ty, because he would have been at
home in eilher'of the old parties
We warn each populist . who be
licvs iu hi princ:ples and loves
his party to consider these matters
before h? makes a fatal blunder
a blunder that will he fatal to his
party if his party is held mpnsi
ble f- r his acts."

shows that he has kept in close

government
H stans off bv saying that
for the first time in twenty
years the interests of the state
n all its branches has ben de-
iverd into the hands of a dif ¬
ferent political party. ii.e
measures which you may deem
wise may be opposed to the poli
cy heretofore pursued, and In
making changes I cautiou you
to consider carefully and well
such changes as pertain to 1 1 e

The governor heartily com
mends and endorses the lease of
the North Carolina Railroad to
the Southern Railway Company.
"I favored the lease of this pro-
perty and it was done by the
Board of Directors with my full
oncurrence and endorsed by
he stock holders . wii uim- a
oissenting voice," says the gov
ernor. "I believed and still le
live it is the best thing that
could have been done by the
state and the future will dett r
miue the wisdom of the trans
action. Men sometimes, for
one reason or another, criticise
public officials without having
fully informed themselves a to
all th facts in the case. Under
such circumstances their ad
verse criticisms are not always

nay show that some of the
critics of the lease belong to

The executive is also a friend
to higher edu alion mid what
h says in regard to the Univer
sity should lie argument enough
for any body of men to let tbe
approp: iation remain as at pres
ent ($20,000) or if needs be to
increase. He says: -
"i he University was estab-
ished under the mandate of the
Cons' itution 106 years ago. It
stat.ds at the head of the public
school system, and it is the aim
of the ambitious student to com
lete here th education begun
in' the public school. It sh u;
be the pride of every citizen, i-
uphold the University and aid
to bis uttermost the efforts of
our ci iz-ns to make it the equ d
of any institution of the km 1

the Uuivi rsiiy in its rrp d pro

Whit more could he have
said? If tho appropriation is
rut off Governor Uarr can rest
issured that h has done his
duty faithfully and the rerpon-
Hibility will not be laid at his

Taken altogether the message
is common sense document and
if followed by the two branches

condition of affaiis iu Cuba. I is
peech might have attracted more
attention had not everybody
known that he is making hard
fight for reflection aud that many
rich and influential Cubans are
residents of his state. Represen
tative Sulzur, of Ntw York, had a
mild attack of jingoism, but he

PROSECUTED for piracy.
It will be remembered tbai
some time ago the "Three
Friends," the little Cuban fili -
bustering steamer, was attack -
ed by two Spanish war steamers
and that the former returned
the tiro of the latter and drove
vthcui off, after which she made
her escape.
The United States govern,
ment, under the ru'e of the
House of Cleveland, has now
announced its purpose to pro
ceed against the Americaosjupho
were on the vessel and took
part in the naval skirmish, as
pirates, the penalty of which is
death. -Z
Of all the crimes he has com
mitted against the A er'O o
people since he was ! i o
office this is the most ui, . oy
that'Cleveland, the arch traitor
of this nation. has ever attempt
ed. In speaking of this the
New York Journal voices the
sentiments of nine tenths of the
American people. It says:
"President Cleveland has
obliged Spain in many ways,
has done all in his power to
save a corrupt and venal mon
archy from paying the penalty
of its barbarous oppression of
the Cubans. He has put the
United States Navy at the ser
vice of the Spaniards, and has
trodden down the Constitution
in order to balk the will of the
American people. -
' "But when he undestakes to
have six American Citizens
hanged by the neck until tbey
are dead ecause they beat off
Spanish armed vessels, which
sought to board their craft, he
exceeds his limit of power. The
Journal does not question the
zeal with which the Cleveland
tdministration will strive to
send these men to the gallows
lhe c0mfort of Spain, but it
thinks the United States District
Attorney of Jacksonville" wi 1
have to send to Alaska for a
jury not absolutely. ertain to
acquit the accused."
Th re is not a monarcy on
earth whose ruler has assume ;I
as ranch authority as this trait
or Cleveland. If Queen Vic
toiia had dared dictate legisla
tion and ignore the will ol her
subjects as Cleveland has 1.1 this
boasted "land of the brave and
free," herliead would have
rolled into the basket so lor.g
ago that she would have been
forgotten. Thank God his reign
is nearing a close.

Death fur Train Robbers.
Jeffeksos City. Mo, Jan 8.
A joint sessh n of the Senate
aud House was held today and
the returns for the November
election canvassed. When the
oint session was dissolved Gov.
Stone's last message was pre
sented in each branch and read.
Adjournment was then taken J
until Monday. The message
relates mo9"-iwloily,:rtr-iiirT
nal affairs. Of, train robbery
the Governor has this to say: .
"It surpasses all others in its
detrimental effects on the state.
When such crimes occur with
frequently current that life and
property are unsafe within the
jurisdiction where they prevail.
Itii a crime which f hould be
absolutely extirpated. That
cannot be accomplished by pen
itentiary sentences. The Thir
ty-eighth General Assembly,
alive to the importance of this
subject, made the crime a capi
tal punishment, however, was
eft to tin discretion of the jury.
8everal convictions have been
had since the enactment of the
law referred to, but only peni
teu'iary sentences were pro
nounced. In my opnion the
men whoperpctrate these crimes
should be hangid."
