FALL ELECTIONS.
This fall's elections, with a few
exceptions were it not for their
supposed effect upon next year's
nreaidential contest. would be com-
tr 'f . -
paratively unimportant. r
Six states elect governors Mary
land, Massachusetts,. Ohio, Ken
tucky, Mississippi and Iowa.
Pennsylvania elects a state treas
urer, two justices of the Supreme
court and one judge of the Superior
court. In New York and New Jer
sey elections for local offices will
be held, but as no state officers are
to be chosen, the result is of slight
general interest.
The four states where public in
terest centers most are Maryland,
Kentucky, Iowa and Ohio. The
cabals among Republican leaders
and the large contingent of his
party hostile to the President's
policy of imperialism, the splendid
and effective organization of the
Democrats under Senator Gorman's
leadership, together with the pres
tige of the Baltimore victory, make
Maryland's return to the Demo
cratic column almost certain.
The Democrats have a fighting
chance in Iowa, while in Kentucky
notwithstanding the noise map by
the bolters, the chances for the
election of the regular Democratic
ticket grow in strength and bright
ness every day.
In Ohio there may be a Republi
can victory by a small majority.
The fact that it is the President's
state and that unlimited corruption
funds are at the disposal of Hanna
and his lieutenants may foreshadow
victory for Nash, the administra
tion candidate.
In these four states, however,
Democratic gains are expected to
be so large as to have a marked
benefit upon the cause of Democ
racy in the national contest of 1900.
"We have been favored with a
copy of an address recently issued
to me iarmers ana iormer mem
bers of the Farmers' Alliance in
North Carolina, in which an ur
gent appeal is made for a revival
and reorganization-of the Alliance
in this state. ; The state organiza
tion has divorced itself from the
National Farmers' Alliance and
the leaders say that, in the future,
politics will be eschewed. x If poli
tics and designing politicians had
always been kept out of the order
i.ua auiuuce mignt loaay oe even
more powerful than it was some
eight or ten years ago. The pres
entTleaders are, so far as we know,
good men. They have our best
wishes for success in every honest
effort put forth for the advance
ment ofthe true interests of the
order. Men of other avocations in
life are bound together in organi
zations for their mutual advantage
and protection, and there is no
reason why the farmers should not
do likewise. .
Some one who has kept close
watch of the editorial utterances
of the Northern press has failed
to 'discover any but the faintest
condemnation of ' the massacre of
the seven negro miners at Carter
vilie, 111., the horrible details of
which were published in the last
issue of the Patriot. Nor has the
voice of a single Northern or West
ern member of congress been raised
against it. When negroes have
been lynched in the South for the
most atrocious, crime known, Illi
nois congressmen have not failed
to avail themselves of the opportu
nity to denounce and vilify the
Southern people, but against this
dastardly outrage at home they
have not spoken a word. The
riotous mob in Carterville which
lynched the seven negroes did not
hang them, as is done in the South,
but riddled them with bullets as
they fled. These poor negroes did
not commit criminal assault upon
women; in fact, they had Violated
no law. Their only offense was in
wishing to earn their bread by
doing the honest labor which the
mob bad refused. For -this only
were they murdered. Yet nothing
has been done with the murderers
and nothing attempted, and the en
tire Northern press, which would
have had columns of double-leaded
editorials day after day if this had
occurred in the South, has been
absolutely dumb.
In his testimony before the in
dustrial commission, which is hold
ing sessions in Washington city,
Mr. C. E. Evans, of Louisville, Ky.,
said on Monday that about 80 per
cent, of the tobacco manufactured
in the United States was produced
by the two 'combines known as the
American and the Continental To
bacco Companies, and he expressed
the opinion that such combines
were not beneficial to labor. He
cited one instance in which fhree
manufactories had been absorbed
by the AmericanTobacco Company,
resulting in throwing 500 or 600
employes out of work. In another
case wages had been reduced from
$2.50 to $1.25 per day after consol
idation. How long shall this octo
pus be' allowed to thrive?
The name of Gfenl Julian S. Carr,
of Durham, than whom North Car
olina has no more loyal or patriotic
son, is being favorably mentioned
by many newspapers and a large
number of citizens for United
States senator to succeed Marion
Butler. In speaking of the matter
Fairbrother's Farrago, of Danville,
Va., truthfully says: . " j
"It would be but fitting recogni.
tion payment for services duly
rendered, for the people of North
Carolina to honor their noble son
with this high office, and it is hoped
rthat the newspapers will see the
point and set the ball to rolling and
keep it rolling. General Carr is
splendidly equipped. He has brains
and ability, he has ample means to
live without being corrupted or ac
cused of corruption as so many of
ficials are these days and alto
gether he is the man for the place."
i Ex-Senator Washburn, a life
long Republican and throughout
all his public career an advocate
of the protection theory, confesses
in an interview in the New York
-Tribune that the protection plague,
like chickens, has come home ton
roost. What the Senator once con
ceived to be a benefit Jo the coun
try and the people has developed
into the trust curse.
We hope the prediction of eight
tcent cotton is true.
. Rural Free Delivery.
Washington, Sept. 25. Con
gressman Thomas, of the Third
district of North Carolina, was at
the Postoffice department today
and had an interview with officials
regarding the establishment of ru
ral free, delivery in his district.
He was given general and printed
instructions regarding conditions
precedent to establishingprurai free
delivery.- He will make, on his re
turn to North Carolina, an inspec
tion of different counties; and if
in, his opinion conditions justify,
will make a request for examina
tion by postoffice officials. It is
probable that the more populous
communities of some counties will
receive free delivery in the near
future.

sions here passed resolutions ask
ing Congress to unseat Congress

WILL FIGHT IN THE SENATE.
Senator Hason Promises to Continue
. -: .. His Opposition. -
"On the floor of the senate," said
Senator Mason, of Illinois, yester
day, "I shall -continue my opposi
tion to the war upon the Filipinos.
I would sooner resign my seat than
treat a dog the' way we are treating
those poor people. I am ashamed
of my country."
It was quite evident, as he con
tinued talking, that Senator Mason
has not abated one jot ' or tittle of
his antagonism tp the present policy
of the administration. He is not,
however, against expansion. "Peo
ple make a great mistake," he said,
"when they say that I am against
expansion. I am not. But expan
sion by purchase or other honorable
means is one thing; expansion by
force is another. I do not believe
that there was any necessity for
this war upon the' Filipinos. I be
lieve that if we had adopted a reso
lution in congress, assuring those
people, as we assured the Cubans,
that we had no selfish designs upon
them, we never would have met
with any opposition In the Philip
pines. The fact is, that we have
given the Filipinos every reason to
distrust us, and they are fighting
for their own liberty. Why," said
the Senator, "the very papers that
are attacking me now are the ones
that, when Dewey was beginning
his work at Manila, praised Agui
naldo as a brave and intelligent
man, and asserted that the Filipo
nos should certainly have their in
dependence. ?
"Talk about not hauling down
our flag," continued Senator Mason.
"Will not our flag come down in
Cuba? Certainly it will, if we are
true to our promises. And'theday
that it comes down will be the
brightest day v in our history, be
cause it will show that we are a
great, unselfish nation, devoted to
the eternal principles of right and
honesty. If the Cubans want to be
annexed later, that is another ques
tion. Why cannot we deal with
the Filipinos in the same way?"
18 the feeling against the war
in the Philippines growing in the
West?" -
"It is spreading all the time.
People who talk about the senti
ment being all one way in favor of
the Philippines do not know the
way the Germans are talking.
There is not in Illinois today a
German paper upholding the ad
ministration. No wondeiSecretary
Hay rushes into the breach with a
letter, against an alliance with
Great Britian. Yet the treaty of
arbitration with England, which
Cleveland f sent to the senate, and
which McKinley indorsed, was an
out-and-out alliance with England.
It was defeated in the oenate by
one vote. Quay, Penrose, and my
self were the only Republicans who
voted against it. I thank God I
did so. The ratification of the
treaty would have been a-grave na
tional error. - It would have put us
in the very position which the ad
ministration is now trying to dis
avow." Washington Post.
BARLOW'S MINSTRELS.
At the Academy of Music Monday Night,
October 2nd.
Of Barlow's Minstrels, which appear
at the Academy of Music next Mon
day night, the Athens, Ga., Banner
says :
"One of the most satisfactory min
strel performances ever given in Athens
was presented in the opera house last
evening, the attraction being the Bar
low Minstrels. One of the largest au
diences of the season was present. The
house was filled with soldiers and socie
ty was out in largo, numbers.
"The audiences was not only delight
ed with the performance, but the very
beet order was observed. The soldier
element was enthusiastic to a great de
gree, but not once during the evening
was the least inclination shown to mis
behave. It was a refined and cultured
audience and a jolly one. Barlow's
Minstrels make no elaborate preten
tion, but the entire performance was
in Btrict keeping with refinement and
it is not too much to say that taken
upon a whole the entertainment offer
ed was equal to that ofNiny minstrel
performance ever given in Athens.
The show deserves to stand in the very
front rank of theatrical concoctions de
signed exclusively for laughing pur
poses. "
"The special features, were consider
ably above the average and there was
not during the entire evening a single
dull moment."
THE 0LYMPI A ARRIVES
Interest on the Cuban bonds, ac
cording to a decision of the Spanish
cabinet, must be paid by the gov
ernment of that island.
Filipinos have destroyed the
United States gunboat Urdaneta
and killed or captured her crew.
A total of 53 lives were lost in
the recent Newfoundland gale.

New York, Sept. 26 The Olympla,
with Admiral Dewey aboard, j arrived
this morning two days ahead o! sched
ule time. The Olympla was sighted
southeast of Sandy Hook by light ship
M9. The steamer slowly passed the
Hook at 7.15,and dropped anchor in
the lower bay. When sighted the
crniser was proceeding slowly toward
the port and maintained tbe uniform
slow speed until she reached anchor
age. The Admiral's salate was fired
on proving grounds. The Olympla re
sponded with guns that spoke of Ma
nila. Every boat in the horseshoe
screeched a welcome. Soon a Urge
flotilla started toward the big white
vessel. , '' ' ' j v
Rear Admiral Entressele called at
the mayor's office as soon as the Olym
pla arrived. He explained to the com
mittee why he got there ahead of time.
He said he was coming through Suez
Canal when one eciew was disabled.
For this reason, he hurried for fear of
being behind.- T
