WILMINGTON, N. C.
Sunday Morning, March 8. 1891.
A DEFUNCT PARTY.
Unless the signs of the times are
ail at fault the 51st Congress, which
expired last Wednesday, is the last
Congress in which the Republican
party will have a majority. The
wild and reckless legislation which
it did can be accounted for only on
the ground that the leaders in that
Congress believed this, and had
come to the conclusion that the Re
publican party, as a national party
was dead, unless it could be saved by
some desperate . measures, which
would never have been attempted if
they had not been inspired by the
direst necessity.
For years the people have been
growing tired of Republican rule,
but by keeping up the sectional cry
the leaders have managed to hold
on to power. But the sectional cry
lost its force and with it the section
al leaders lost their grip.
The McKinley bill was the pound
too much that broke the camel's
back. That bill was conceived,
shaped and passed in such utter disregard-
of popular opinion, or of
popular protest that the people saw
they had nothing to expect from that
party and then came the outburst of
indignation and the unprecedented
revolution of last November which
swept so many Republican candi
dates from the field and left their
party a wreck. The people rebuked
not only the legislation itself but the
arbitrary and disr eputable methods
by whjch it was accomplished, meth
ods as offensive to them as they were
oppressive to the minority in Con
gress who were denied, in utter con
tempt of the fundamental principles
on which representative government
is based, the right of free speech and
fair-debate, which was all they asked
and what they had the right to de
mand. When the gambler stakes his pile
and loses he becomes desperate, and
so these political gamblers became
desperate.
Beaten at their own game they fell
back on the Force bill as the last
resort and played that with all the
skill and boldness of which they were
possessed. llad they won in that
they might have saved their political
fortunes, and ; with their par
tisan counting fioards, partisan tools
tools and judges, backed when
needed by -bayonets they might
have recovered the power which they
lost last November. No wonder they
felt the ground, give' way under tnem
when they were1 defeated in this, and
no wonder . that the dumbfounded
Hoar of Massachusetts exclaimed
"this means the death of the Repub
lican party.' It was to save; the
party which theysaw was in its death
struggles that they sprang this infa
mous measure and pushed it 'with
such devilish tenacity, even going to
the extent of attempting to revolu
tionize the modes of procedure which
had been recognized, ever since the
first Congress, as the conspirators in
the -House revolutionized the modes
of procedure there, and substi
tuted in their stead an arhitrary des
potism. There were men in the party who
saw that they were by their reckless,
defiant and desperate measures Hast
ening and making more complete
the ruin which they were scheming
and trying to avert, and they coun
selled and wared against them
The shrewdest and most far-seeing
of these was James G. Blaine, who
has been trying to undo some of the
mischief which they did by advoca
ting a reciprocity scheme with. the
Republics south of us, on the pres
tige of which he will endeavor to
be elected President and lead the
party out of the meshes in which it
has wound itself But it will not
take. A dozen James G. Blaines,
and all the reciprocities that could
be catalogued in an age cannot save
the Republican party if the Demo
crats do hot commit some great
blun4er which will make victory
possible for the Republicans. This
the Republican leaders hope for and
it is their only hope. If they can
get the Democrats to contending
over some new issue and thus beget
dissensions the Republican party
may survive another election and
live awhile longer, otherwise it is as
a national party as dead as Hector,
aud they know it.
MINOR MENTION.
The Western papers have had a
good deal to say abont Jerry Simp
son, the "sockless statesman," as
they called him, who was elected to
Congress in Kansas last fall. But he
is neither sockless nor brainless. He
has opinions and his liberality is
broad enough to take in thecountry.
As an illustration of his mode of
thought and style of speech we quote
the following extract from a speech
belivered by him at a meeting of the
Citizens' Alliance at Washington a
few days ago:
"The Republicans,"he said, "had lived
on sectional hate for a long time; the
party was no loneer the party of grand
ideas. At the last election the Repub
licans had tried to save tnemselves in
Kansas by bringing up dead issues. They
had wrung the bloody shirt in the Kan
sas campaign until there was not another
drop in it. They had appealed to the
old soldiers to stand by the old partv,
bur conditions had changed since the
Alliance told the Kansas soldier that he
would get to be as much a slave as the
blacks he had fought to save if he did
not guard his independence. The black
slavery was but a primitive slavery; the
very essence of slavery was that of toil
without reward, when the results of their
labor was taken from them without an)
return."
"We saw that this sectional strife was
kept alive for-political purposes. We
came to see that the question of loyalty
or disloyalty was a mere matter of where
one was born. If I had been born in the
South, I would probably have been a
rebel and have felt it my patriotic dut
to fight for the cause of the Confedera
cy. So it might have been with any of
us. We determined to fill up the blood v
chasm, and we started by throwing In
galls into it. South Carolina followed
with Wade Hampton, and we will fill
the chasm if we have to throw in all the
old leaders who strive to keep sectional
strife alive. '
Mr. Simpsom is not altogether
familiar with the record of Senator
Hampton, nor with the reasons
which caused his defeat for re-election.
There was no Senator in Con
gress who was less influenced by
sectionalism; and he was defeated
simply because he refused to comply
with certain demands that the Alli
ance made upon him.
Gov. Hill, of New York, has
brought down upon himself the sharp
criticism of some of the New York
papers which are opposed to him on
account of his refusal to surrender
on the requisition of the hold-over
Governor of Connecticut an escaped
horse thief. Gov. Hill refused to
recognize the requisition on the
ground that Bulekley, the hold-over
Governor, was not the legal Gov
ernor of that State. He might have
surrendered the horse thief if he had
seen fit, but we don't see how with
due respect to the office which he
holds, he could have done otherwise
than he did. Mr. Bulekley is
not .the legally recognized Gov
ernor of Connecticut; one branch
of the Legislature has refused
to receive any messages from
him and denies his representatives
the privileges of the floor. If Gav.
Hill had recognized a requisition
from a citizen of Connecticut whom
the State does not acknowledge as
Governor, might he not with equal
justice and propriety recognize a re
quisition made upon him for fugi
tives from justice by any other pri
vate citizen of that State ? Before he
can officially recognize the Governor
of another State he must know that
he is the Governor, so declared in
accordance with law, which the hold
over Bulkeley, who'makes the requi
sition, has not been.
Senator Walcott, Republican, of
Coloredo, whose manly- independence
did much to help the Democrats to
choke off the gag rule and Force
bill, seems to have been making a
study of the Senate with the follow
ing result : "I have seen a good
many aggregations and types of Tin
man nature, but this is the most in
teresting body of men I ever came
in contact with. -Now, take those
old fellows on the other side of the
chamber, the Democrats from the
South. They are old fogies, every
one of them, sectional as hades, mean
as the devil about appropriations and
all that sort of thing, and yet so in
fernally honest and rotteu poor that
it makes one proud to take them by
the hand. Now, on the other side of
the. chamber but I must not forget
the requirements of senatorial cour-
tesv.'
The efforts of the Republicans to
hold possession of the Governorship
of Connecticut have got that State
into a nice muddle. The House is
Republican, the Senate, is Demo
cratic. The JHouse recognizes Mor
gan G. Bulkeley, the hold-over, as
Governor, the Senate does not, re
fuses to receive any communicaeions
from him, and a resolution was in
troduced Wednesday instructing the
doorkeeper to refuse admission to
Austin Brainard "who," the resolu
tion declares, "has repeatedly dis
turbed the proceedings of the Senate
by appearing with communications
from Morgan G. Bulkeley, who as
sumes to be Governor of Connecti
cut, and by trying to force a recog
nition of his claims by the Senate."
Final action on this resolution was
postponed to await the return of
some of the absent Senators. In re
fusing to receive a requisition from
the hold-over, Hill is doing precisely
what the Senate of Connecticut is
doing, and they who denounce Hill
for it should, to be consistent, also
denounce the Senate.'
STATE TOPICS.
That bill which was introduced in
both Houses of State Legislature
prohibiting any one under severe
penalties from constructing a line of
railway from the Virginia line to
connect with the Wilmington and
Weldon Railroad was a sort of a
bull-dozer which didn't reflect much
credit on the statesman who got it
up. It was of course aimed at the
W. & W. road and a plain declara
tion that it would be cut off from
northern connection unless it came
to time on the tax question. It was
thought at the time this bill was
introduced that a renewal of charter
would be refused to the Petersburg
and Weldon road, which, however,
was granted for two years. This
bulldozing bill, strange to say, pass
ed the House, but was hung up in
the Senate, which showed better
judgment and more common sense
than to pass it. It's never good to
legislate in a spirit of spite.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Now that Congress has adjourn
ed President rJarrison will be left to the
tender mercies and magnetic machina
tions of Blaine Both of these gentle

Enemies appear to be falling
upon the wily and guileful Gov. Hill at
every turn in the road. With Jones
(who pays the freight) and Weed hot
on nis trail and" no reliable truce estab
lished with Cleveland, tribulations be
t;in to congregate and hum around his
bald head. Savannah News, Dem.
Gov. Hill's views on the silver
question are not explicit enough to sat
isfy the free coinage men of the West,
and they are demanding to know
whether he is for or against the free
coinage of the white metal. If the
presidential bee is buzzing in Hill's bon
net he will have to write a letter, or see
his chances for the nomination go glim
mering in the direction of some other
man. New Orleans States, Dem.
A Well OT rlted Word.
The value of baking powder consists
in the fact that the proportion of alkali
and acid is exact, and there is no danger
of having yellow biscuits from an excess
of soda, Or heavy ones trom an excess
of acid. It is probable that many of the
powders are adulterated, some with in
jurious substances, and others with
harmless additions to increase the bulk
and consequently the profits. In our
own family we have excellent results
from the use of the Royal Baking Pow
der. We have no reason to think that
it contains any harmless ingredient.
Those who object to the use of baking
powder because of adulteration must
needs be very sure of the purity of the
soda and cream of tartar they use in
place of the powder. V. Y. Christian

The theory of the reciprocity
clause in the McKinley law seems to
be that the doctrine of protection is
perfectly just when applied by the
