WHAT INCONSISTENCY.
One of the planks of the Populist
platform declares that "no taore
money should be collected from the
people than is necessary to defray
the expenses of the Government
economically administered." That
is sound, and it is good Democratic
doctrine, taken almost word for word
from Democratic platforms in which
it has been repeated over and over
again.
Marion Butler and other Populists
of this State subscribe to this be
cause they profess to stand upon the
Populist platform. Bat while pro
fessing to subscribe to' it we find
them combining with the Republi
can party, whose policy has been to
tax the people regardless of the ne
cessities of tbe Government, and
which was never known to adminis
ter, the Government economically,
with a party which justified its gross
extravagance and squandering of the
people's money by the boastful decla
ration that this is a "billion dollar
country."
If that plank in the Populist plat
form means anything it means that
there shoujd be no more taxes levied
upon the-people than are necessary
and that there should be as much
economy in expenditures as possible.
As the only taxes levied by tbe Fed
eral Government are tariff taxes and
excise taxes (to which is now to be
added the income tax, which has be
come a law since the adoption of
that platform) this plank must have
PUBLISHER'S AKNGUNCFMr
bad direct reference to the tariff and
excise taxes. In other words it was
a declaration for tariff reform. When
this platform was adopted tariff re
form was the slogan throughout the
country, but especially in the South
and in the West, in the latter of
which the Populist party was the
strongest. To get in line with pub
lic sentiment the leaders of that
party took this demand bodily from
the Democratic platform and incor
porated it in their own. They did
this to be in accord with public sen
timent, but they also believed in it
because they represented a section
or sections which had for years been
plundered, to enrich the protected
manufacturers of the Eastern and
Middle States. ,
What claim can Marion Butler lay
to consistency or to party fealty
I when in the 'face of this demand be
forms a league with the leaders of
the party which is committed to ex
cessive tariff taxation, and are now
engaged in trying to perpetuate that
policy by which his people and mil
lions of other toilers have been an
nually plundered of millions upon
millions of dollars, unnecessarily and
solely for the purpose ot adding to
the gains of the favored manufac
turers, who were not content with a
legitimate profit on their products?
This is precisely what he is doing,
while be professes to believe in a
contrary doctrine.
The Republican party of Jiorth
Carolina is a high protection party.
It goes with the National Republi
can party on that as it does on all
other issues, including gold mono
metallism to which Marion Butler
and bis Populist associates profess to
be irreconcilably opposed. Marion
Butler having formed an alliance
offensive and defensive with the
leaders ot this high protection party
has pledged himself and his follow
ing to support and vote for its can
didates and they in turn have pledged
themselves and their following to
support and vote for the candidates
of Butler & "Co. Every vote cast for
a Republican candidate for Congress
is a vote cast for high protection
and for gold monometallism, in direct
opposition to the Populist platform,
and every vote cast for a candidate
for the Legislature who will after bis
election cast his vote for a Republi
can United States Senator, is another
vote cast in direct opposition to that
platform, and practically against the
party itself, so that logically when
Marion Butler forms a combine with
these high protectionists and gold
monometallists and musters his fol
lowers in support of the combine he
strikes a blow at the party of which
be professes to be a true and loyal
supporter and for which he professes
to speak as a distinguished represen
tative, li!
When it is so apparent that this
combine was entered into for the
manifest purpose of securing votes to
elect him to the United States Sen
ate the transaction assumes the form
of treachery, and a base betrayal ot
a party in whose councils he occu
pies a high and trusted position, for
the sole purpose of promoting his
own political fortunes and reaping
the fruits of his treachery and be
trayal by getting into the United
States Senate by the assistance of the
party to which he sold himself and the
followers who still had faith in him.
While he is doing this from a selfish
motive, he is co-operating with the
Republican party to fasten upon the
people the tax-burdens of which his
party in national convention com
plained, and against which it pro
tested in this plank which declares
that "no more money should be col
lected from the people than is neces
sary to defray the expenses of the
Government, economically admin
istered." It would be more consistent, more
honorable, for Marion Butler and the
other Populist leaders who with him
have entered into this mongrel com
bine to go over straight to the Re
publican party, for then they would
be in their proper place, and not be
playing the role of tbe treacherous
hypocrite as they are now. That is
where they will land at last if the
Republican party -survives to offer
them a. refuge. i '
MINOR MENTION.
Captain Bock Kitchin seems to
flounder in his speeches, and to make
one kind at one time aad another
kind at another time, one kind in one
section of the State and another
kind in another section. The fact is
he has been reported as making two
different kinds in the same place, and
to different audiences. At Char
lotte he made one in the afternoon
and another at night. The one in
the afternoon was conservative and
although it rapped both of the "old
parties" over the knacks it was de
livered in such a way as to make it
appear that the Captain spoke with
sincerity. In that be appealed to no
passions or prejudices; but his speech
at night, which was attended mainly
by Populists and negroes, was ex
treme, unfair and vindictive, as much
different from the speech of the af
ternoon as one speech could well- be
from another delivered under tbe
same circumstances ; and by the
same person. In tbe West
he refused to join in with
tbe howlers for a free ballot and a
fair count, declaring that he believed
we had fair elections in North Caro
lina, bat in his speech at Kinstoo, as
reported by the Free Press, he closed
with "a long plea for a free ballot
and a fair count," and threatened
that if the Democrats counted them
out they would be rosecated and
sent, to tbe penitentiary. Of course
a man who is playing the role and
indulging in the vagaries that Capt.
Kitchin is now should not be expect
ed to be strictly consistent in his ut
terances nor to hew to the line, but
there is no excuse for this kind of
back sumaiersetting, this swallowing
of himself, as it were. He should at
least have a little regard for consis
tency and honesty.
In spite of conclusive proof to the
contrary the high tariff advocates
have made thousands of workmen in
this country believe that their wages
depended upon the amount of pro
tection the manufacturer received,
and that the higher the protection
the higher their wages would be
They are still appealing to workmen
On that line, and still thousands of
workmen believe them, in spite of
the fact that wages have been de
clining for years, although protection
has been increasing. Recently a
Mr. Crofut, who for a number of
years had been a Government em
ploye at Washington, a Republican
and a believer tn protection, an
nounced himself a Democrat, al
though he had but a short while be
fore been removed from office, and
gave the reasons for his becoming a
Democrat. He said be believed in
protection, because he believed that
protection ensured high wages to the
workman. He went to England, a
free trade county, where he found
wages lower than they are in this
country, and concluded tbat protec
tion was all right. He then went to
France, a protection country,
where he found wages lower than
they were In England, and then he
went to Germany, another protection
country, where he found wages lower
than they were in France, and then
he came to the conclusion that as
far as the workman is concerned pro
tection is a sham, and that wages de
pend npon something else. He
wouldn't have to investigate very
far to find that wages, like every
thing else, are governed by the law
of supply and demand, that when
there is a scarcity of labor and much
demand for it wages are high, and
that when there is a surplus of labor
and little demand wages are low.
This is the whole question in a nut
shell, and every man with two grains
of sense and the least observation
ought to see it.
Senator Hill will make tbe closing
speech of bis brilliant and gallant
campaign at Elmira Saturday night.
He seems to be confident of victory,
but whether elected or not, he has
made thousands of friends in New
York and throughout the country
who were not his friends before he
threw himself into tbe breach and
began this fight to save New York.
It is impossible to tell from the re
ports we receive, or to form a well
based estimate as to what the result
will be. The leaders on both sides
claim, as they always do, that they
will carry the State. The Dem
ocrats say that Mr. Morton cannot
cross Harlem bridge with more than
40,000 majority and if he does not
Hill will beat him, the figures ranging
from 15,000 to 30,000. But the Re
publicans, on the other band, say
that Morton will come to Harlem
with 100,000 majority, which cannot
be overcome by New York, Brook
lyn and other towns on Long Island
and Staten Island. From the be
ginning it has been a royal battle,
and no two parties ever worked
harder for victory, tor both feel tbat
on victory depends not only the con
trol of tbe State now, but possibly the
decision as to the Presidency two
years hence. This is why so much
interest centers in the fight, and why
it is so closely watched by both
Democrats and Republicans of other
States.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Every one who has made him
self acquainted with the facts con
nected with the struggle of the Fall
River operatives against a reduction
of wages will regret the defeat they
have sustained. After exhausting
their savings and the ability of a
sympathizing public to assist them,
the strikers have been driven into
submission by hanger. Happily for
them, their reduced earnings will be
measurably offset by the reduced
cost of the necessaries of living.
Phil. Record, Dem.
The election of a Republican
House next week would mean that
the country was to be kept in uncer
tainty for at least two more years as
to what sort of a tariff it is to have,
and those two years would be fol
lowed, should the Republicans elect
tbe next President, by the repeal of
the present tariff law and the re
opening and agitation of the whole
question. The man who wants to
vote against more tariff uncertainty
and agitation will not do so by voting
for a Republican Congressman.

TALES' PIT THE
WEIRD YARNS OF THE SUPERNAT
URAL SPUN BY THE CAPTAIN.
Tbe Skull In the Chain Locker The Un
lucky Bark In the Dcmcrara Trade That
Was Said to Be Baanted The Story of an
SzUe From Salvador.
We were eating dinner one night on
tbe old cargo ship and talking of the
happenings at sea and on shore that are
call ad supernatural when the captain
said:
"One sees some things at sea not su
pernatural which are fit to make a nerv
ous man see ghosts. There was that case
in one of Green's liners to the colonies,
where a man was sent down to clean
out the chain locker. The locker had
seemed foul all the passage home, and
so they hoisted out the chain and sent
this fellow down with his brush and
soap and bucket, with a lamp, to clean
it out I'll wager he saw ghosts far a
year after that, for when he'd got down
on his knees to begin scrubbing he
found himself bending over the skull of
a dead man.
"It was most likely a man that had
stowed away out in the colony and had
been caught under the cable when they
were running it down quickly, and so
had the life crushed out of him.
"However, I did know of a case that
seemed supernatural right enough It
was in the Demerara trade, and I was
acquainted witb the first officer of the
bark where it all happened.
"In the first place, while she was out
there loaded and ready to sail, the cap
tain had trouble with one of the seamen,
who drew out his knife and stabbed him
to death then and there. The mate after
ward took her home, but on the way a
passenger took to ailing in some mysteri
ous fashion and up and died very sud
denly. "Of course sho was a haunted ship
when she arrived home, and so the
owners bad her name changed, and she
was refitted and painted up entirely
different from what she had been. Then
she sailed away with a new captain, but
on the way out he took to drink, and by
the time she reached Demerara he was
off his head and killed himself with a
revolver.
"Now she was haunted, snro enough,
if you could believe the mate. Mind
you, after she was refitted tho mate said
never a word to the new captain about
what had happened in her before, and
even when a new captain came out from
home to take charge of her, believing
that tbe last captain was naturally a
drunkard, instead of one who had taken
to it after coming on this ship, this first
officer never said a word, because he did
not believe in ghosts or even in a future
state.
"However, tho first night tho new
captain was en board tho trouble began.
The captain at about 9 o'clock went to
his room and retired. An hour later he
was calling tho mate and telling that
he had gono to gleep and then had been
awakened by a light in the room. On
opening his eyes ho saw a short, thick
set maj with side whiskers, in the
armchair at the desk, loaning over, with
his elbows on the desk, holding his
head between his hands and saying:
'Oh, my poor head! Oh, my poor head!'
"That was enough for tho matte. He
left the vessel that night with all hands.
This new captain knew nothing of the
style or manner of the one who had
killed himself, and yet the picture
ghost or what you may call it in tho
chair was tho image in appearance and
dress of tho caicido and had complained
in precisely tho words and voico of the
dead man. "
This brought out the story of an exile
from Salvador whom tho narrator met
in Guatemala. Having got into trouble
with the authorities, Sen or Don Sebas
tian Mojarieta saved his life by fleeing
to Amapala, Honduras, as many another
exile has done, and there taking a
steamer north to San Jose, Guatemala.
A friend of his who was involved in
like manner was to have reached Amap
ala by a different route in time for the
same steamer, and to prevent any possi
ble delays Mojarieta engaged staterooms
and secured passes from tbe Amapala
authorities for his friend and himself as
soon as ho arrived. But the steamer day
came without his friend, and Mojarieta
was obliged to sail alone.
"At the usual hour, on the first night
out," the story teller went on, "Mo
jarieta retired and went to sleep, but
had no sooner dozed off than he awoke,
hearing his friend's voice, as ho cays,
in the uazt stateroom, which ho had
supposed to be empty. Leaving his berth,
ho went out into tho passageway and
opened tho door to tho adjoining room,
and there, ho says, ho saw lying in the
berth the body of his friend fully dressed,
but with three bullet holes in the breast
of his coat and one in the right cheek.
"At that Mojarieta fainted and was
found on the deck by the steward and
put to bed again. Thereafter it was a
most miserable passage, for the vessel
touched at both of the Salvador ports
and was about a week reaching San
Jose, Mojarieta was sure his friend had
been shot and expected a force to come
off from each of the Salvador ports to
demand him. Moreover, he was haunt
ed continually by that picture of his
dead friend.
"Once in Guatemala he obtained em
ployment quickly and then began to re
cover something of his former spirits.
He ascribed his vision to his over
wrought imagination and was begin
ning to hope that his friend would yet
appear when a letter was received from
a relative in Salvador. It not only told
that the friend bad been shot by the
government soldiers, but described the
wounds of the body after it was dead.
Mojarieta declares that the description
accurately portrayed the vision he had
of his friend, and he believes that his
friend's spirit, being unable to rest or
wholly throw off its desire to take pas
sage on the steamer, had come on board
and was occupying that berth." New

In case of chain breakages a wise nail

The chief faults of many machines of

The Man Bad Not Meant to Make Tremble,
bat Was Unfortunate.
"A strong wind had set in from the
sea, banking huge masses of clouds over
the city. The rain descended in a blind
ing, staggering deluge, and solid sheets
of fire flashed athwart the angry skies,
followed by crashing peals of thunder.
The gloom was excessive. The lights in
tho streets cast a fitful, sickly glare
over the wet pavements and the few be
lated pedestrians who were hastening
homo. It wus a night for dark thoughts
and darker deeds.
I laid aside the book which I had
been reading an absurdly impossible
tale of midnight horrors and ghastly
crimes and sat moodily looking at tho
raindrops chasing madly down the win
dow pane and at the fierce night with
out. The cabbies in the street below
were swearing, and the call bells in the
hotel were clanging like wild.
Suddenly in the adjoining room I
heard a sharp click like the cocking of
a firearm. The connecting door was un
bolted and slightly ajar. I sat still,
with bated breath and hair bristling all
over with terror. A shuffling of heavy
feet and a muttered imprecation as
something fell on the floor. A cold,
paralyzing dread seized on me, freezing
tho lifeblood in my veina God of heav
ens, what horrible tragedy was being
enacted behind that door?
Sharp, clear and loud, above the rag
ing of the elements, rang out the report
of a pistol, followed by a terrible oath
and a heavy fall. Palo as a specter, I
sprang, tottering, toward the door to es
cape, and with a horrified scream fell
crashing to the floor in a dead swooi
I awoke with a start The connecting
door was wide open. Above my pros
trate form stood a rough looking man
in his shirt sleeves. His right hand was
bloody. I seemed to feel his clutches on
my throat already and closed my eyes
with a gasp. I opened them again cau
tiously. In his bloody grasp he held the
shattered remains of an electric light
globe.
"Sorry, stranger," he said, "but I
tried to open tho domed thing to light
up, and hit busted." Atlanta Consti
tution. EVERY HOME SHOULD OWN A DYNAMO
Then Housewives Conld Magnetize Ham
men and Make Tack Driving- Easy.
There is an easy way to render the
ordinary tack hammer an article that
may be used with comfort and to do
away with all danger of bruised fingers
from its misdirected blows. A little
electricity will do the trick. The process
is so simple that it should be universal
ly adopted.
All that is required is access to a
dynamo. Then lay the head of tho-ham-mer
on the framework and leave it
there for about five minutes. This needs
no strength, but the hammer cannot be
detached without the knowledge that
some force holds it fast to the ironwork,
and herein lies the secret. By contact
with the dynamo your hammer has been
magnetized and will pick up bits of
iron or steel that are not too heavy for
its strength
Tacks and small nails, too short to be
held in the fingers when driving, may
be easily placed in position for the ham
mer blows without using the finger or
thumbs and much speedier work ac
complished. In re tacking torn shades
the man of the house will at once ap
preciate the blessing of a magnetized
hammer, since he can pick the tiny
tacks from the box direct with his mag
net, press them into the roller with the
same tool and by one blow drive the
elusivo fasteners home.
Carpet laying is made easy and stray
tacks in quantities such as will slip
from tho fingers a thing of the past.

Frog Catching as an Industry.
Frog catching is a leading industry
along tho river, and the most successful
operators work all night and sleep in
the daytime. Their ten to along the river
are silent during the sleeping hours of
the forenoon, but at night the swampy
shores are alive with the moving lan
terns of the fishers, or rather the frog
gers. The frogs are caught with an or
dinary fishhook, and the most successful
bait is a small piece of red flannel. The
operator has a reflector lantern fastened
in the bow of his boat, and it is claimed
that the light makes the frogs snappish
without discrimination. The baited
hooks are passed freely among them as
the canoes, punts, skiffs and rafts are
pushed and paddled through the
marshes. The frog catchers do a profit

Beer by the round.
"What do you think of getting 14
pounds of beer for a nickel?' ' said a maa.
the other day. "Well, out in the south
ern part of the city they sell beer in this
way altogether, especially at the little
German groceries with a saloon annex.
When people come into the place for a
pitcher of beer, the vessel is set on
scales and weighed. Then the customer
is asked if ho wants lager or common
beer. If he wants 5 Gents' worth of the
first, he gets 1 pounds, but if he wants
common beer he gets 1 pounds. The
dealer I saw did not know how the cus
tom of weighing beer originated. The
stand has been handed down for several
generations, and beer was never meas
ured otherwise than by weighing.

' A Rare Stamp.
An interesting and valuable addition
has been made to the splendid collection
of stamps in the Philosophical museum.
It is a half crown stamp, lettered
"America," and is the sole survivor of
those attempted to be forced upon our
colonists at Boston who threw the chests
of tea into their harbor, for the colonists
destroyed all the stamps as well, except
this, which,Mr. Philbrick, Q. C, is
fortunate enough to bo the possessor of.
Another valuable addition is a series of
fine specimen copies of Australian
Stamps sent by Major E. H. Watts of
