OPINIONS OF Parker and Bryan Explain Different Views of Jeffersonian Democracy TWO NOTEWORTHY addresses l-minee Parker, Mayor Mc- Former . ..and, Senator Newlands and Oth ers Address 700 Democrats at the Waldorf-Astoria, Parker Receiving an Enthusiastic Hearing. New York, Special. Seven hundred Democrats attended the Jefferson day banquet of the Democratic Club of New' York at- the Waldorf-Astoria Thursday night. There were many there of national reputation, and chief among these were Judge Alton B. bar ker, Democratic nominee for President last November. .. In the banquet room portraits of Jefferson were conspicuous. In addi- tion to Mr. Parker, the speakers were United States Senator Newlands, of Nebraska, Mayor McClellan, of New York, Congressman Henry T. Rainey, of Illinois, and J. J. Willett, of Ala bama. Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, was the only one of those expected to speak who could not attend. Mr. Parker was the first speaker, and be was enthusically received. -Frequently he was interrupted by ap plause. The speech was on the future of the Democratic party and was re plete with suggestions for harmony and urgent appeals against sectional ism. John Fox, president of the club, presided, and his brief speech intro ducing Judge Parker was applauded. Mr. Parker saidr 3 I do not come here to make excuse or explanation about the past, to pro mote any personal purpose or ambition for the future, or to further the ends of any section, faction or interest 1 am moved solely by a desire to com mune freely with my countrymen who believe that the time-honored doctrines of the Democratic nartv. as deduced from the great policies defined bv the man whose birth we here commemor ate, and established by the founders are still true, still alive, still worthy of acceptance and devotion, and still necessary, if our institutions are to; be maintained in their early vigor and purity. It may be conceded that they are not new-fangled or hysterical. We can also justify the claim that they are not destructive to any legitimate political or industrial interests, or sub verse to those conceptions of liberty and free institutions for which our fathers suffered. They have approved themselves in peace and war. Under their sway, our people increased in number, wealth and power, the poor and oppressed from other, lands found refuge and welcome, population spread gradually over territories peacefully acquired, and industry was free, while taxes were low and so distributed a3 to discourage monopoly. When these . principles dominated our policies there was no thought of conquest, or of protectorates over distant, alien, and turbulent peoples; there was no talk of alliance with the great; no question of making' ourselves collectors of debts, good, bad, just or fraudulent; and.no suspicion that anywhere-in the lexicon & free government there was to be found the word "subject" SOME ELEMENTS IN RECENT POLITICS. We meet after defeat which was easy to foresee and predicted. It was preceded by division" and faction in our ranks over a period of eight years and they have done their worst. It was emphacized by the use of governmental power for partisan purposes, by the reckless and unprecedented expendi ture of money and by demagogic ap peals to interests as wide apart as the noles. We have left to us only the smallest measure of power in either house of Congress; we have, lost States whose confidence we had long By Wire and Cable.

TWO LEADERS commanded, and the number of Gover nors and State legislatures und- ur control is surprisingly We may, how-v. recall that this is not the, arst time that the party has been In vhuh soamAH i t! uc a. uopeiesa mlnorityv It was so from I860 to 1867 when a great wrong which has been far-reaching in its effects upon morals icit it in a minority for another eight years. But when its con dition -was least encouraging, it was sun the same consistent advocate of patriotic and manly policies as when t was in the full plentitude of power during the first sixty years of the last century. Rallying about its natural leaders as courageous and patriotic as any known to our political history it was then, as always, its virtue to be a national party. These leaders kept themselves in touch with every ques tion of current interesc In every ham let of the Union. Nothing American was alien to them. POWER OF THE PARTY AS A MINORITY. During the Civil War more than 500, 000 Democrats stood on each side of the firing lines of the two great ar mies which faced each other, all believ ing themselves right On the morrow of Appomattox, they, the victors and the vanquished, had scattered to their respective homes, all bent upon pro moting peace, all understanding each other in their trials, all facing the same great problems. In the foulest of all days in our national life those of so-called reconstruction these soldiers largely recruited from other peaceful, patriotic men in the North, were found voting together. During this period there came to the front in our national councils the great historic figures of Thurman, Hendricks, Bayard, Seymour, Hancock. McClellan and Tilden. In the face of prejudices and opposition, which might. well have daunted the bravest, these men were able to combat and to overcome that sectional policy which at one time al most dominated the whole country. When, in spite of aggressions, fairly divided between the misuse of military power, and deliberate, studied corrup tion of the suffrage, these men had been successful, they were reinforced by Lamar, George, Hampton, Hill, Vance, Morgan, Vest and many other strong and patriotic men from the South. Added to these leaders, who, in the field of national politics, so nobly unit ed to combat human passion at its worst estate, were hundreds of thous ands of sturdy men in the North, who, as Governors, members of State Leg islatures, committeemen of every grade, and private citizens, carried the struggle of free government down into the smallest political divisions of the country. Everything was won except the presidency, in spite of which Dem ocracy was able from 1868 to 1885 to keep at bay the enemies of good will, NO ROOM FOR SECTIONALISM. So too. there is altogether too much talk about an Eastern, a Western, a Southern, or some other Democracy, roii n thA psKfincft of the Darty is its national character and the entire ab sence of sectional features.

' T i lV.i C4-rtf A Al or anotner, m una or umi, oiai& ui even in the country, is not a matter either important or interesting to tne great body of Democrats. - THE KIND OF ORGANIZATION NEEDED. I would not for a moment convey an impression that organization is not important. It is even more it is vital, if we are to give effect to the principle and policies which buttress our party faith. But, however necessary and vi tal, it may be useless a mere empty bauble if it is viewed as the end rath er than the means. We are confronted by forces which, when not purely per sonal, are almost wholly mechanical. They are represented by a party, well managed, indeed, in that two-thirds of the Union to which it .restricts its activities. It has everything that pat ronage can suggest or imply.

Messrs. Carnes, Bass & Benckensttein, of Beaumont, purchasing from Messrs. Laertei & Cafferty, of Franklin, 1,750,000 barrels of oil in storage at Jennings. The sale gives the purchasers a total of 3,000,000 barrels in storage at Jen nings. Greenville, S. C To Have a Perman ent Fair Striving to Raise $15,000. Greenville, Special. The people of this city have for several weeks been striving hard for the organization of a permanent tair association. Subscrip tions lists were circulated last week and at a meeting of the. subscribers. held in the-eouncil chamber last even ing, a permanent organization was ef fected. The name of the association will be the Piedmont Fair Association. The meeting last night was harmo nious and more than one hundred sub scribers were present. The ictal sub scription to date amounts to $10,250. It is the purpose of the directors to raise $15,000. It is thought the Greenville Traction comnany will be called upon to assist In raising the remainder. News of the Day. Chariman Frick, of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, has called upon President Alexander for a complete statement of all the affairs of the so ciety. . . The prudential committee of the for eign mission board of the Congrega tional church decided to hold on to Mr. Rockefeller's gift of $100,000. Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, who opposed the acceptance of the gift, made a caustic statement concerning the com mittee's action. nowers -Of eovernma-.n- wv,i the ingenuity of monopoly can sug gest,: as within its scope or interest is withheld. ' When we can control once again these training-schools for the higher politics, we shall have little need to trouble ourselves overmuch about can didates for President, because we shall have laid, deep and strong in the peo ple's will, the necessary foundations. Then, and only then, may we look with hopefulness and confidence to the coun try at large. Then we may go North or south. East or West, for candidates certain of their fit hand, and of their acceptableness to our countrmen. Bryan at Chicago. Chicago, Special. Subjects of na tional significance to the Democratic party were discussed by several lead ing orators of the party at a Jefferson club banquet held at th'e Sherman Housein commemoration of the birth day of Thomas Jefferson. The dinner in a measure resolved itself into a jolifi cation over the recent election of Mayor Edward F. Dunne,, who is a director of the club. The mayor was among the speakers who responded to toasts. All the speakers referred to municipal own ership and to Mayor Dunne's election On a municipal ownership platform. William Jennings Bryan and George Fred Williams were the principal speakers from out of town. Mr. Bryan 1 spoke on "Thomas Jefferson' 'and his remarks were greeted with unstinted applause. . He responded to the toast "Thomas Jefferson." He said in part: We are told that when Moses, the first great law giver, had attained his majority, he looked upon the burdens of his countrymen and sympathized with them. Although he had been adopted by a princess and was heir to a throne hi heart led him from the palace and the society of princes to companionship with his oppressed brethren. When a leader was needed to break the bondage of the Israel ites and guide them in the formation of a nation, this sympathy fitted him for his work. And no one, it-may be added, does a great work whose heart does not beat in sympathy with the masses, ever struggling, ever in need of help. Thomas Jefferson, although not reared in the environment of royalty, was born and educated among the people who least sympathized with the rights and interests of the common man. His heart, too, was touched by the struggles of his countrymen, and he early became their champion, al though in so doing he alienated the landed aristocracy and educated class es. In wealth he was the equal of the wealthy, and his learning brought him into association with scholars, but heart kept him in touch with the plain peo ple, and h earned the right to- be called the First Great Democrat. It was not that he was the first to conceive of Democratic principles . or to preach the doctrine set forth in the Declaration of Independence. That doc trine wasjnot a new one; but he gave fitting expression to the doctrine at the time of its greatest triumph. The aspiration for self-government was born with man. It has been the inspir ing cause which has led people In all ages to struggle for freedom of con science, freedom of speech, individual liberty and the recognition of the rights of man. Some in all ages have found a selfish reason for applauding monarchy, but at no time has there been universal acquiescence in arbitrary power. He lived before the invention of the railroad, and before the country had witnessed the colossal centralization of wealth, but viewing as he did every question from the standpoint of the people, nnd hating, as he did, every at tempt to divert the profits of industry from the producers to the "idle holders of idle capital," we have a right to assume that he would today stawl with the people for the regulation of railroads and the extermination of pri vate monopoly. No one can imagine Jefferson as tol erating the impudent claim of the rail road magnates that they have a right to determine abritrarily and without appeal the rate to be charged for the transportation of passengers or freight. What an opportunity the present con test would give hitn for the arraign ment of human greed and for the de fense of human rights. Jefferson's love for mankind was his controlling passion, and it extended to generations unborn. As we celebrate his memory on the anniversary of his birth, we can say as those could say who lived when he did, "We love him because he first loved us." Conspiracy Charge Dismissed. New York, Special. The indictment charging Nan Patterson with conspi racy with J. Morgan Smith and,. Mrs Smith, wrongfully to obtain money from Caesar Young was dismissed in the court of general sessions at the request of Assistant District Attorney Rand. The court reserved decision in the Smiths case. CARRIE MUST BEHAVE. Or She Wil fie Sent to Jail For Six Months, With a $250 Fine. Witchita, Kan., Special In district court, Carrie Nation, Myra McHenry and Mrs. Lucy Wilhoit were found guilty of destroying property. Mrs. Nation was fined $250 and four months in jail. Mrs. McHenry two months and $150 and Mrs. Wilhoit 25 days and $150. The sentences were suspended, pending good behavior. Tha offense was committed September last, when the women broke windows of a wholesale liquor house. Hay Improving. Nervi, Italy, By Cable. The condi tion of Secretary Hay improves daily. He received a visit from Ambassador White, who stopped here on his way to Home. Mr. Hay discussed principal ly questions interesting Italy and America, chiefly emigration matters and King Victor Emmanual's proposal for the establishment of an international- chamber of agriculture, giving verbal instructions fb Mr. White on the subject The atter expects to arrive in Rome SaturSdy. A MINOR SMISH Disconnected Fighting Reported Id Neighborhood of Hostile Armies THE RUSSIANS OFF COCHIN-CHINA German Steamer Reports Seeing Bat tleships and Six Cruisers in Kanv ranh Bay, Raising Interesting Sup position That Rojestvensky Has Di vided His Squadron China Instructs Governors of Southern Province! Not to Permit Breaches of Neutrality No Confirmation of Reported Small Engagement. ondon, By Cable. There is as yet no news of a naval battle in the far East or of the whereabouts of the ri val fleets. The Hong Kong correspon dent of the Daily Mail sends a rumor of a small engagement, but there is no confirmation of this report Details regarding the Russian ships in Kam ranh Bay, Cochin-China, are too mea gre to be instructive. According to the Daily Mail's Singapore correspondent, the North German Lloyd steamer Prinz Heinrich saw five battleships and six cruisers in the bay, , but dispatches to others of the London morning news papers are not so precise. The presence of the Russian squad ron off the Annam coast is raising keen interest here, in view of the pos sibility of their infringement of Chi nese neutrality and the liklihood of Rojesvensky having to split his squad ron. The Morning Post's correspondent at Shanghai telegraphs that China has instructed the Governors of the South ern provinces to maintain strict neu trality, in the view of the Russian ships sheltering there. Tokio, By Cable. The following offi cial announcement was made today: "The force advancing north from Singking, driving the enemy before them occupied Yengcheng, thirty-eight miles north of SSngking, at 1 o'clock on the afternoon of April K- "A detachment of the same Torce, co operating with the cavalry, occupied Pachiatzu, at 6 o'clock of the evening of the same day The enemy's force near Pachialzu . consisted of seven so tnias of cavalry and one battery of ar tillery. , "They first retreated north towards Yinecheng, then came back to Pach ialzu. Finding it occupied they were thrown into great confusion and re treated in great disorder over Peling Pass, two miles north of vPachialzu. "There is no change elsewhere." Expects 'Fight Soon. St. Petersburg, By Cable. There is no information from Vice Admiral Ro jestvensky's squadron, but the admir alty would not be surprised to learn of skirmishing between scout ships to day or tomorrow, and the inauguration of torpedo boat warfare soon is not unexpected. The naval organ here expresses the opinion that Togo was taken completely by surprise when Rojestvensky suddenly appeared at the entrance of the China Sea, and is now concentrating his widely scatter ed fleet near the Pescadores, where it is believed a sea fight will probably occur. Georgia Fruit in Danger. Atlanta, Ga., Special. Atlanta and vicinity experienced a considerable drop in temperature last night and today, and although there is no official report on the damage or likelihood of damage to vegetables and fruits, the weather bureau being closed Sunday, considerable apprehension is felt T)y fruit and truck farmers. Reports from the surrounding country Indicate a likelihood of frost tonight, in which event considerable damage will be done. Snow in Tennessee. Nashville, Tenn., Special. At eight o'clock Sunday morning a light snow I fell here, the thermometer standing at 6i. nepots from central portionp of the State show similar conditions. At Glasgow, Ky., the tops of buildings and fences were white, the snow con tinuing for more than an hour. The thermometer is 42. Won't Take Lynchers Alive. Mempris, Tenn., Special. A special from Senatobia, Miss., says that tho Spencer brothers and' William Stilt charged with being members of the mob that shot and killed Sheriff Poag, are barricaded in a cane brake twenty miles from town, and have sent word that they will not be taken alive. A large posse has gone to the cane brake with the intention of capturing the three men. J. H. Thomason, who has confessed to having led the niob to the jail, is on the yerge of nervous collapse. He is a prominent citizen and holds the office of county supervisor. Meets Artie Ice. Halifax, N. S., Special. The steam er Jupiter encountered much drift ice off the Newfoundland coast Sunday, and as her bow plates were dented from an encounter with the Arctic floe, while on her recent passage from Liverpool to St. Johns, the captain skirted along the edge of the ice very slowly. Some of the rivets are started and there is considerable water in the forepeak. NORTH STATE CROP BULLETIN The Outlook as Viewed by Hie Depart ment of Agriculture. Weekly Crop Bulletin, for week end ing Monday, April 17th, 1905. Monday and Tuesday were warm and dry and favorable for farm work which was xesumed with vigor; the remainder of the past week, however, was decidedly unfavorable, both for work and the growth of vegetation on account, of the frequent and heavy rains from tne 12th to the end of the week, and generally low temperature which chilled the ground. The cold, soggy soil is unfit to be plowed, and unfavorable for rap id growth or the germination of seeds. The temperature exceeded 80 degrees on the 10th and 11th, but was so low the balance of the week, that the mean averaged nearly 2 degrees below the normal. Freezing temperatures occur red Monday morning (17th) in Central and Western North Carolina; what damage has resulted must be reported in the next crop bulletin; unquestion ably the injury to fruit of all kinds, truck crops and strawberries must have been considerable. The rains from Wednesday on were quite heavy in some counties, washing land some, and generally causing a complete suspen sion of farm work. The precipitation this week averaged over 2.00 above nor mal. Warmer dry and jsunny weather is much needed. - Very little cotton laud has been pre pared as yet, and the amount of fer tilizer used is smaller than usual; only small patches of cotton have been sown in the extreme southern portion. A large amount of land is needed for corn, but progress in planting has been slow; the acreage in corn will be quite large, but, of course, the bulk of the crop has not yet been planted, though a few reports from the southeastern counties- state that planting has been finished; early planted corn came up to fairly good stands, but late planted is germinating slowly. Tobacco plants are rather late, and small, but seem to be in good condition otherwise. Re ports on the condition of winter wheat,, oats and rye continue to be extremely favorable; in some sections these crops are reported the best in many years; in others, however, though the plants show very green and vigorous, it is feared that abundant rains are causing sappy growth. Clover and grasses are also very thrifty and cattle are already able to live on pastures in the west So far, truck crops have done. -well; Irish potatoes are coming up nicely and generally to good stands; prospects for early peas are good; cabbage plants have mostly been set Shipments of lettuce and radishes have been large, and the shipment of berries is just beginning. The frost Monday is like ly to have caused a severe set back to truck crops, strawberries and gardens. Up to Monday the prospects for fruit, especially apples, was still favorabble: many peaches" and other fruits are so well set that perhaps the anticipated damage by cold may not be serious. Pennsylvania's Appreciation. Governor Glenn a short time ago sent at their request a set of the North Carolina Regimental Histories to Post No. 1, Philadelphia, Grand Army, of the Republic, the Post expressing the sentiment that they regarded the North Carolina troops as the bravest they met during the war, and that they were anxious to have an authentic his tory of. their deeds. The Governor has just received a unique acknowledge ment. It is a certificate, handsomely engraved and embossed with the coat of arms of the Army of the Republic, and other appropriate emblems. It reads as follows: Fraternity Charity Loyalty. Geo. L. Meade Post No. 1 Department of Pennsylvania Grand Army of the Republic Tender their thanks to Hon. Robert B. Glenn Governor of the State of North Caro lina, for the magnificent gift of five volumes entitled "North Carolina Regiments from 1861 to 1865." Harry H. Shank, Sam'l G. Diehl, Adjutant. Commander- Charters Issued. ' A charter has been issued to the Farmers' and Merchants' Bank, at Williamston, $15,000 capital author ized, $7. 500 'subscribed, by Dennis Riggs and others. Also a charter to the Morrow-Freeman Mercantile -Co., of Norwood, Stanly county, capital $55,000; J. M Morrow and H. S. Free man, principal incorporators. The name of the Smith-Davis Co., of Wil mington, is changed to the Oliver Smith Co. Finances of. State. In connection with the circular the State. Treasurer has just issued . ad vertising for bids for the $250,000 8 year bonds to be Issued to take up the bonds of the South Dakota judgment and the Shaffer brothers holding of bonds. There is an interesting state ment of the indebtedness of the State, her investments, resources and liabil ities, annual income and a compara tive statement of the debts of this and several sister States. It shows re sources, including railroad and turn pike stock, amounting to $7,028,000 and liabilities in the way of State bonds amounting to $6,871,450. The annual income interest on railroad stock and taxes is $1,731,014. Local School Tax. News has been received in the of fice of the State Superintendent that Webster, In Jackson county, has voted a local tax for the improvement of public schools. Mr. R. D. W. Connor, of the State Superintendent's office, went up there last week, and made a speech for the tax. At that time it was considered that there was a ma jority of fifteen against the tax. Much of" the credit of the change of senti ment is due to Mr. Gonnor's speech, so the leaders in the fight at Webster say. HER BIGGEST SHOW New York's Most Colossal Playhouse Opened to the Public THE OPENING OF THE HIPPODROME ' - Play House Unique in the Amusements World For Its Size and the Charac ter of Its Performances, is Christ- v ened by a Standing Room Audience, New York, Special. The Hippo drome, New York's newest and largest place of amusement, was opened to the public Wednesday jnight, under the management of Thompson & Dun dy, and every one of the 5,200 seats were taken, some of them having been bought at high premiums, and wher ever there was standing space, it was filled. - The Hippodrome stage is remark ably large, and at times was "wded. Hundreds of persons and many ani mals, including elephants and horses, were in view at odo time, making a very animated and picturesque stage 3cejne. The circus specialties intro duced were unusually good. The Hippodrome is unique in tho amusement world, both in the great size of the playhouse and in the char acter of the entertainment it offers. The management frankly admits that the whole great enterprise is ex perimental. It is an entirely new venture, in every way, and is about the most elaborate entertainment ever attempted under one roof, combining as it does a dash of everything except grand opera and tragedy. It is a spec tacular drama, a circus, musical com edy, vaudeville and menagerie, and the highest priced seat is $1.50. An other t feature is the reserving of ev ery seat in the house, from the 25 cents gallery to the boxes. The build ing occupies the block on the east side of Sixth avenue between Forty third and Forty-fourth sereets, a dis tance of 200 (feet, and extends back toward Fifth avenue 240 feet. . It is of brick, marble and steel construction and architecturally is very handsome. It's capacity is 5,200 and its interior arrangements present many features novel in this country. Behind fourteen rows of orchestra seats are the stalls and then a line of boxes encircling tho promenade, and in these smoking is permitted. The stage is. 200 feet be tween walls and has a total depth of 110 feet. A better idea of its size may be obtained from the fact that the back drop curtain of ttie Hipperdrome is 85 by 200 feet, while the average play house curtain is 25 by 35 feet. President Has Fine Sport. Frederick, Okla., Special. Wednes day was an ideal day f of President Roosevelt and his party in the big Pas teur reserve. The weather has been cool and cloudy. The party goes out at 6:30 each morning and returns to camp about 11 o'clock for dinner. Fresh horses are saddled by attendants and a new start is made at 1:30 in tbe af ternoon. One of the diversions of the camp was a series of foot races in which the President participated. The dogs are so accustomed to pur suing wolves that they left off chasing a wild cat when a wolf was scented. In one of the runs a wolf was chased over the hills and across creeks and through timber for ten miles. The pace was fast and when the wolf was cap tured, there were only four of the par ty within sight of the animal Bob Burnett, Guy Wagner and John Aber nathy, three old cow-boys, and Pres ident Roosevelt. Saves Others By Confession. Jacksonville, Fla., , Special. Isham Edwards., who is confined here with two other negroes, unuer sentence of death for the murder of School Super intendent N. W. Eppes, near Tallahas see last August, has confessed the crime, declaring that Caldwell and Larkin, the other negroes, are innocent and were not connected with the kill ing. The trio were convicted of mur der in the first degree at the last term of the circuit court and received the death sentence. The confession was made public and it is believed that'lt will result in the release of Larkin and Caldwell. Many Reported Dead. Vicksburg, Miss., Special. Many persons are reported to have been kill ed and injured in a wreck on the Ya zoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad, fourteen miles north of here, at mid night The northbound fast passenger , train and the southbound" passenger are reported to have collided. All physicians in the city have been call ed to the scene of the wreck. Gen. G. F. Grant Dead. Baltimore, Special. Gen. J. F. Grant, Grand Secretary of the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows' in the United States, died Wednesday at the .Union Protestant Infirmary, 'where he was operated on about four weeks ago for a serious internal affection. in accordance with the wishes of Secre tary Grant, the funeral services were Verv simnle. The funeral took nlaca Thursday at his residence in this city, and the funeral party left over the Bal timore and Ohio railroad for his old home in Petersburg, Ky., where the body was buried. . . . - Harper Bankruptcy Hearing Postponed. Bristol, Va., Special. The failure of counsel for the creditors to appear f at Big Stone Gap, Va., caused the post ponement of the bankruptcy hearing ' of Edward L. Harper, former president of the wrecked Fidelity National Bank of Cincinnati, until April 27th. Har per and his counsel, were present.
