Carolina Watchman. THURSDAY, WAY 1, 1890. , The Born Fool of Politics. A quarter of a century ago the country, divided, toru aud sated with I 1. !..... nnl 111 lr whatever the hor- Jnnoi uUU?e cjud, tne senate arop vi wie The Senate Falls. On the first page of this ime the Watchman gives the full ot Sanator Hoars "mild and "experimental" elec tion bill. It differs in particulars from the House bill but the purpose is un changed. What a fall is here! With out even the meriM)f originality in whatever the caus rors. through the lines was find the brave true men of either sec tion. To-day another war is waged, juid on the one side, having successful ly undergone the test of courage and truth, the same soldier isr lined up. On the other there is a change. The pkulkers of then are the mighty war riors of now. Still this i3 only the beginning of the oddities. Strange v.B jt may seem, it is the South who now carries the stars and stripes and forms Jier batteries behind the Constitution. The same men who voluntarily came for.vard and undertook her battles twenty-five years ago, still enlisted, are standing for the rights of the people, us opposed to the usurpations of petted manufacturers and banded millions, coddled of the law under the name of trusts. Ou the republican side the millionaire , is largely 4he rule. He exists in the House and preponderates - jn the Senate. Add to these the men of manufacturing States and districts, and to these those who do not know the war is over, because they were not there when it happened, and you have the body of the men who are waging this later war and whose flas is a coupon. The millionaires are massed and fitrht for life, or the condition of ! V. . affairs which made their millions pos sible, for in direct proportion as they possess thev mav be said to live. Tl e Representatives of protected industrial sections, founding their political ex istence upon the favor of manufactur era, are naturally under the same ban ner. For these men there is some apology, for they are directly interest ed. Then follows the born fool, we will call him for the want of a better name, who is their coadjutor. This man, as often as otherwise, represents- an agricultural section and people He has no money himself and no pros pects of money. Very likely, as is the case of Ingalls, his people are trying o sell fourteen cent corn for a living. v Yet -the ass, whenever occasion af fords, not only votes away tne very life blood of his constituents, but has frequently been heard to say little set . speeches about tne other side wno are looking-on in wonder. This man is Republican to-day because of a con tracted mental horizon, or, in plainer Jaoguage, for The want or sense, .lake level of the House, adopts its teachings and usages, echoes its party meanness .and becomes a worthv consort ofthe lower mase. The two of them may now be considered a pair, a precious' pair to draw to. " The experimental character of Mr. Hoar's bill finds due aekowledgemsnt, but its mildness does not appear. A petition sighed by a hundred names and away go the rights of citizens. he election machinery at once passes into the hands of life tenure republi can office holders- who will then be of course, largely for the party, as they now are of and by it. To have federal supervisors in charge, republican par- izan supervisors in charge is one step, already proposed. To have the. vote counted in Washington by other and further republican partizan "eight to sevens" is but another. Uowever this atter would require courage in usur pation, and therefore is not feasible. There is, though, this consolation about all this, The people of Ameri ca are accustomed to take a hand in hese matters and give Jngalls, his people are agrarian aild must exist by the rule of unprotected farm products. Yet, knowing no bet ter, he votes to make them pay twelve dollars for a six dollar suit of clothes forty cents for a twenty-five cent pitch fork, four dollars for a two-dollar blanket, and so through the whole list of: -fois spring aud fall purchases whether of shoes3 hats, harness, plows machinery, farm furniture or house fittings, paying these double rates ou of tlie scanty yieldings of farm stuff that he has been forced to sell in open market, taking in return whatever the world will give him: He votes tha way because he is th political uoin looi ; and as such is Rated both among friends aud enemies I he millionaire Senator, casting his ote for his own interests, knowing his ijwn reasons for having done so, turn and laughs in his heart whenever he things a a whirl hemselves for themselves. When their turn comes it is quite possible bat they may adhere to the ancient custom and presume that a man in tends the natural consequences of his action, tor this reason if, in the way of the present subversive threats, they trample sis much as they threaten it will take ten men eight days to count the holes in the list of republican of fice-holders of '92. lu their blindness up there they have not adverted to the fact that a just rightous government aud not party supremicy, is accounted of first importance by the people When men beg in to starve they also begiu to think. I like not your Cussius, he hath a lean ajid hungry look. Such men are dangerous, they think too much.1' With the middle west mortgaged into insolvency and aud the far west borrow ing all that can be had while agricul tural people are facing a gloomy pros pect all over the Unioi there is every occasion for a statesmanlike conduct of affairs at Washington, whereas party perpetuity at any cost has been alone considered. If rainy or most of those gentlemen could be cited to the little accident that happened to Ingalls ht do no harm. Through the Union. The new cruiser Baltimore left Nor folk for her maiden cruise last week. She is a very fast staunch vessel and is expected to work a credit to our flag. ltjs thought that the damage from the floods along the Misissippi this vear will exceed even the 37,000,000 limit which was reached by the waters of 1882. Henry W. King, ex-President of the Pennsvlvauia Institution for the In- sane, wno was last wee convicieu ox crimes of grossly immoral nature at the institution was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Ex. Henry Watterson denies having lost $1,900, or other sum, at the poker tables in Memphis. However we would infer that he knows a " bob tailed flush " when he sees it, since he restricts his denials to Memphis. A fourteen-year-old Missouri lad has earned a medal and a manly place for his manly deed. Four men went to old man Holland's home in Missouri for the pur pose of whipping him, when his son interfered in a very effective manner. They had knocked the old man down and were kicking him when the boy opened fire on them with a double barrelled shot-gun, killing Gillam. Gate wood attempted to shoot the boy, bay his gun missed fire, and the lad emptied the contents of his second bar rel into Gatewood's breast. The men ran out of the house, but Gatewood fell and lay all night, dying shortly after ho was found in the morning. The identity of the other Eu Klux is unknown. it Ullgl A Democratic Press. thinks of the ex-school teaching Kan san-as votinsr on his side. At home and abroad his opponents deride him, and his friends ultimately get his men tal measure, as in the iiistan.ce of the JCausas Alliance, which Jaas so lately instructed uuequivocally against their Senator, who day after day yojies against teir interests and his own. The fact that he parts his hair in the iniddle, sits for as many pictures as an actiVc-s, and is miserably and ludicrous . Jy vain generally, being a contribu ting evideuce, by &is every ac tion, utterance and vote, this man, having no money or interest at stake, uud who jguorantly sides against his .own people and the $elds whose soil they turn for a livelihood, this man is .clearly u political born fool. A Trap. Are you sure you are in favor of the T" J 1 " I 511 A T-v liiuotn siiv.er -oMir .are you sure that you understand it fully? Re member that a leading and dangerous feature ot the proposition is the re im.il of the existtnn coinage laws. Of sourse there is a promise of a sybsti Jutiou. Still, if the go!4 hugs arc not putting in there, why not repjal the present law with and by an efficieut and better substitute, in the old way? '4ie Windom hill ;s not safe, for, when jit comes .to a pinch, the old Jaw haying een repealed, it is quite possible that Congress might not be abl e to aud so leave us with all James S. Clarkson, in his response to the toast " The Republican Press," de livered at the Grant Anniversary Cele bration, stumbled badly. Unwittingly he tells us why the country must inev itably become fixedly democratic. He said : In the large cities of the East they (the democrats) have captured nearly all the magazines and illustrated papers. All the mercenaries of press and litera ture have heen lured into their service. The re-enforced democratic press is a startling thing for the republican party to face, and it must face it with courage and wisdom. In New York city 1,400,000 copies of daily newspapers are printed. Less than 200,000 of them are republican. This means that two-fifths of the repub licans of New York city and environ ments are reading democratic papers, taking the democratic version of things, and the young people of the household being educated unconsciously against the party ot their lathers. In Boston the papers of greatest circulation are also democratic. New England has largely gone from the faith of the days of the war in its newspapers. The same is true of nearly every iarge city in the country." Of course his assertion that the press is a democratic purchase, so far as he did say it, is ludicrously false. There is another reason and a true one this U'.me. The great heart of the Ameri can press is in the right place. The State. Scotland Neck people want to re-establish their corn lands on the' old grand footing by diking out the Roa noke. On Deep riyer, in Chatham county, there are floating storiejjf ua lion in the way." A large wild creature, lion, leopard or panther is devouring the hogs and terrorizing the people of the community. Judge Shipp omitted the formality of adjourning Court in Stanly county one day hist week. While he was charging the jury a budding cyclone began to toy with the court house, whereupon there was a vacancy on the bench that a horse could jump through. It is said that the old gentleman beat the jury out of the court huose in a fair race from a stand ing start. We have never known the judiciary to become exhausted by wind causes -before. A Bad Outlook. The Western European Monarchies are still in a troubled state. To-day is set by the labor organizations as the time for a grand demonstration of d is approval of the existing order of things in Germany. At the same time the young Emperor, Louis Napoleon Like, is training his guns on the mass es. He announces that he will ride in person at the head of the first i ment that is ordered into action to surpress the demonstration and dis perse the crouds. This State of affairs in Germany Russia and Austria conies by wire to the Chorlottte Chronicle: Bsrlix, April 30. The most extraor dinary precautions are being taken by the German government to meet any emergency which may arise on May day. a the capital aud other principal cities of the empire, the troops are paraded through the streets and threatened dis tricts.

IJenry Watterson, at a reception given him in Chattanooga, Tenn., last week said: "Unless the factions split in New York the next Presidential election would result in a Democratic victory, and that Cleveland is the most available candi date. Hill, he savs, is, and always has been, true to his party, and he would not be surprised to see Hill nominate Cleveland at the national convention. If Km York goes to the convention split un a man from the east, who can unite the tactions, will be nominated. Campbell of Ohio, and Palmer, of Illinois, he re garded as possible presidential nominees in that case." y There should be noHfs involved Cleveland no longer represents avail a bilityin timber alone, but a principle as well. To desert him would be renunciation of a position taken, well as n confession of weakness gen eraily. No, give uMr. Cleveland, and wnn mm tue oia issues, tor if we can . i not win there perhaps we deserve to fail. Public office a public trust, tariff reform, mid Cleveland for '02. a as Washington Letter. (Proaa oar regular correspondent.) Washington, Aril 28. The in justice and absurdity" of the MeKinley tariff bill excited such general dissat isfaction that the Republicans are obliged to abandon it. It is conceded that the bill can never become a law, but the Republican majority in tbe House has so thoroughly committed itself that the bill is expected to pass the House by a strict party vote. In the meantime the Republicans of the Senate Finance committee are at work X I I " 1 I t ,'1 .1 on nootoer uiu as a suosutuie ior me MeKinley bill. They expect to report it to the Senate very soon after the MeKinley bill passes the House. This shows the impotence of Mr. M Kiu ley's specious oratory, that cap tivates a careless crowd, to convince the business interests or the country of the propriety of a single idea ht entertains on the subject of tariff. The Republican joint caucus com mittee of the House and Senate have i i i i t agreed upon tne oasis tor tne prepara tion of a silver bill. It directs the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase ,o!Ju,uuu ounces ot iree silver Dei month at the market prke, not to ex ceed $1 for 371,25 grains of pure sil ver, and issue Treasury notes in pay ment of the "bullion. These notes shall be paid on demand in lawful f l TT i 1 rm t i money or tne united states, aud are receivable for all public dries. No greater or less amount ot such notes. shall be outstanding at any time than the cost of the silver bullion then held iii the Treasury, purchased by such notes. Upon demand of the holder oi any such Treasury notes, the S erf tarv of tbe treasury mav, at h s dis cretion, pay off such notes with silvei bullion, should -it be necessary, tor the redemption of these proposed Tn usury notes. 78,000,000 held to redeem the circulation of banks will be restored to general circulation. The investigating committee on in terstate commerce charged with in quiry into the relations of railroads ol the United States and Canada has con iii- -lit eluded its labors.

In this endeavor it has met with marked success and is pro gressing. Canada subsidizes two lines of steamers from Vancouver and the western terminus of the Canadian railroad, with $425,000; and one line from St. Johns, N. B. its eastern ter minus receives a sidsidy of $800,003. The report refers to a conference of the commercial and industrial bodies of the Pacifiic coat held at San Fran cisco, July 1889. The report of the conference declares that with such special advantages th?Ci: alian Pacilic could afford to quote lates that must drive the American steamer line out ol he China trade, to the almost irrepar- ible injury of San Francisco and pre dicts general destruction for the larger wrt of the American steamer traffic on the Pacific ocean, unless some , vig orous measures be adopted by the Us (srovernment.

It seems that he is a member of the firm of Ludwig, Smith & Co., foun dry men, and is not a bad man for the place. -He came to Hickory a vear or two ago, our informant said. He lived just across the North Carolina line, and was a neighbor to the sage of Mt. Airy, who is sponsor for him. This same prom inent republican said he did not know whether Smith is a republican or a dem ocrat, That depends, he said, entirely as to whether Brower was drunk or sober at tbe time he recommended the appoint ment. For when drunk," he said, "Brower is a republican and when sober he is a democrat." Newton Enterprise. The great-flood sweeps on and over the desolate land.
