Republicans Must Work.
Although the Republican
party stands. . before the
country and the world with
a splended record and with
all its promises to the people
made. four years ago - faith
fully fulfilled; although the
nation is now in the enjoy-
ment of its greatest era of
prosperity, chiefly through
the fulfillment of these prom
ises and the wise administra
tion of President Mckinley;
although it is a foregone
conclusion that McKinley
will be renominated for an
other term, and although
there never was a time when
the republican party was
more united than now, yet
there is danger ahead.
This danger is nothing
more nor less than over con
fidence. Republicans know
that they have a wily foe to
contend with; one always on
the alert and ready to take
advantage of every opportu
nity to get in an effective
blow. Democracy, no mat
ter in what guise it may ap
pear, will bear very close
watching. It is not known
what scheme the opponents
are now hatching or what
trap will be. sprung to catch
unsuspecting Republicans;
The Republican leaders at
Washing-ton who have been
watching the drift of things
see in the democratic plan a
desire to get together on
general principles in order
to beat the Republican ticket
next campaign. . To this end
a fusion with; every disturb
ing element in the country
! nder tbf leadership of Bry-
Ian is invited. ne oniy way
for Republicans to counter
act this influence is to organ
ize for work and then work
when organised.
Senator Beveridge has
sounded a note of warning to
the i-epublicans of this State ,
fearing that - they have too
much confidence? in the .'.con
tinuation of the existing con -
dition of things without " ef-
fort on their tpartf
leaders df .-tfcep5rt; Sn'f this
State, at Washington see
danger ahead, and therefore
they are solicitous. St Jo
seph J County Republicans
have set at good example for
other portions of the State
by perfecting a conplete; or
ganization, for campaign
work thus early in the ; -year
and by sustaining a well offi
cered, permiriant Republican
club of large membership to
aid in. this work. Thus in
terest in- the cause is kept up
and the party locally put in
f.,r r,r,rrr.K'iv. nd
effective work . . If every com- j
munity in the State would
do the same there would be
uq complaint on the part of
the leaders of lck of enthu
siasm or fear of the result

"Good God Good Devil.".
Mr . Editor: Iii the Raleigh
Post of February 23rd. we
find the following from its
Washington correspondent
in giving an account of' the
meeting of the Democratic
National Committee:
"Tho platform for 1900
was outlined by members of
the committee as anti-expansion,
anti-trust, anti-treaty,
anti-England, free silver.
While the silver plank of the
Chicago platform was con
sidered certain of adoption,
it was not expected to play
the leading part in the cam
paign except in the silver
ftfnc H-rpat stress was
laid by speakers before the
committee, and by others in
halls and lobbies, on the ne
cessity of capturing the Ger
man vote, and it. was felt
that the less said about sil
ver in this connection the
better."
The above is only further
proof that the democratic
party has been and will con
tinue to be "all things to all
men and nothing to no man. '
With them it is "good God
and good devil," 44 pig and
puppy "hawk and buz
zard." One thing in Missouri
and another in N. Y.; it ad
vocates one system of finance
in N. C. and an entirely diff
erent principle in Wisconsin.
Its policy is to "run with
the hare and bold with the
hounds ." In other words ,
like the chameleon, the dem-
l ocratic party takes the color
of the latitude or longitude
of the locality in which- it is
ranging and quickly adopts
itself to what may seem most
popular in the particular
state they may happen " to
canvass.' One thing intone
place, another thing - in an
other place, nothing very
long; is their motto, and it

The price of cotton is

when the - South conies to
