Somemm are so. everlastingly selfish that thev want the whole earth, wit i the sunshine and the wind and. Jhe moon and th stars thrown in We don't want all of these, nor - very much of either. But we herewith enter a solemn and emphatic protest against try ing to live absolutely on air. We can use a ?ood deal of air, but we needand must have, a little cash. As a means to obtain this cash,' we propose to increase our, subscrip tion list tc .the Yellow-Jacket. A bout the only available way to in crease this list successfully and rapidly in through thepromntand hearty cooperation of our Republi can friends those who believe in the principles of the great party 'of Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Mei- Kinley.

A few -vjjpurs spent i getting up clubs will, be time well .spent. Let's begin, in 1898; to prepare for victory in. 1900. j Remember the price of the Yellow-Jacket is now 15 cents a year, cash in advance, and stop the : paper when you r time is .out. x- , i: If the silver sentiment is not ou the decline, we would like for some one to explain why it was; thai the democrats made Congressional, gains, this year only in the districts where free silver was " chucked under the table?' . populism in North" Carolina I got lost in, the late campaign arid wandered back into the p.e tnbcratic camp where it start ed from 8 years ago. The dems have "taggfed" most all the smaller fry and because Marion Butler refuses'to eat h own vomit some of the dem papers are kicking like a Texas bronco and say he ought to be drumed outfof the statel Nebraska, the home of the a- c i ... pos,tle of "new and purified 16 to i, free coinage Thomas Jeffer son democracy., has shown her disapproval of -the above men tioned article by taking a . leap into the1 Republican column. The dems had no "negro 1 domi nation" scare crow to whip the voters into line but tried the free silver issue and lost the state. . Just a little over a year ago Jerry Simpson of Kansas pre- dieted that an awful money panic would striKe this country some time .in 189S. The year is now fast Hearing its close and the financial, standing of the government . was never better. This is a fair sample of Populist foresight, and we think the Kansas voters did a .wise thint on the 8th wjien they decided, that Jerry should stay at home awhile andhusk corn. Now that the smoke of the battle uof Nov. ' 8th has' cleared xtwa'v and the results of that days work are generally known, we dori't see niuch that vas ac complished that is calculated to make a Republican feel gloomy. We have lost but one state that gave President McKinley "its e lectorial vote in 1896,, and while we have had our majority in the lower house of Congressc cut down somewhat, we still hold a majority)' and what is quite as important, we have redeemed the Senate from, the hands, of Pops and democrats by giving it a cle.au m aj prity of adminis tration Republicans ; men who will stand' behind the President on all party questions. - We were somewhat amused to notice that certain democratic newspapers are afraid that the. President wants, to.be .reelected to a second term, and that he is out "fishing for votes by at tending those peace jubilees oVer the country. Wliy in the mischief can't they let the Pres ident "fish for votes" if he wish es?. Old man Cleveland "fished for succors" for four long years and these demmy papers, never opened their mouths. ,2 But these papers were just out of-Uriything else to Say and 'had to . find some ki nd of fault. President McKin ley has a perfect right to a second-term and he don't have, to fish for votes" to 'et elected either as he is the most popular man in America to-day. He would carry more votes for Pres ident than any living American. You might as weir try to fat ten a f a n mill by running oats through it as to find a democrat ic newspaper that doesn't give itself away at times. During all the la-st campaign the democrat ic pess of the . state swore with one universal chorus that " ne gro domination1 in :?b Caro lina was a living, breathing fact ; that you could feel it and realize it as distinctly . as you could a' live lizzard on your naked bacK. Now that the election -is' over and the stcite is "saved" the Alleghany Star about as hot a democratic paper as can be found in the state rcomes out and ad mits that the "negro domina tion' ' issue used by the democrats was nothing but a ghost. It says, to use its exact words, "The spectre of negro domination, etc., has taken its everlasting flight from the state." We have been reliably in formed that Br o. Car son was. elected as "square" in his township, at th'elate election, and we don't blame him for try ing to unload his conscience of some of the devilment lie tried to promulgate in the past cam paign. The Yellow-Jacket never be lieved the cry of " negro domina ti6n" was anythiug but a demo cratic ' spectre' ' or ghost , which means the same, xind now, since the Star has come out andmade an,. honorable confession, "our faith is stronger than ever, "More opportunities may come to some men than others, but the chief difference in men is not a difference in opportuni- ty, but a difference in their seiz ing them at the right time. The "lucky" man lays hold of his chance almost before it - reaches " him; the "unlucEy"' fellow whines because his i got out -of" sight before he saw it. big clubs
