C, THURSDAY, EDITORIAL, REMARKS. Go veruor.. Taylor's return to Kentucky spikes another batch of democratic lies. The cat and dog fight of the dem-pops in Kansas promises a republican walk over in the state. Men who participate in the benefits of a crime are no better in principle than those who commit the crime. The democratic politi cians don't like to see the people use their, heads. It hurts democratic clap-traps. The 4 silver republican" party in the west has got ashamed of its title and drop ded the word 44 silver" from its name. It is now in order for some democrat in Congress to de ny that the President is Commander-in-Chief of the ar my. Boss Croker has been pla airising Mark Twain. He telegraphed a newspaper: 4 'Report of my death is un true. I am quite well. " The great Porto Rico . is sue that was going" to rend the republican party in twain has fizzled out and gone to join the bad beef issue. The Pennsylvania demo crats demand, in their plat form, a 4 4 Tariff Reform." But, my have you, forgot ten that 4 tariff reform" that Cleveland gave. us? The New Yo says a contirtuatio gleyistn means idle many industries. the biggest gas explosion yet heard of. It would be the tail wag ging the dog with a venge ance for Mr. Bryan to agree to withdraw in order that Dewey might be nominated by the democrats. Perhaps Pettigrew would have fared better in the spring elections in South Dcikota if he had not sent so many of his t'raitorouspeech es into the State. : It rs hoped that the. re built Lincoln monument, at Springfield, 111., will; prove to be more substantial I than the original structure v . Lin coln's most enduring ; memo rial, however, is in the hearts jzk x imes i rr' nUf Din- Hiills in That's Does not spelt any thing, but what we started putto say was this: Do not send postage stamps on subscriptions to the "Y. J.; ahd when you send Money Orders, have them drawn on Wilkesboro, N. C. Moravian Falls is hot a M. O. office. The New York democrats set a lte date for their State convention so as to en able them to judge whether it will be best to jump on the Bryan band wagon, or to try to wreck that vehicle. The New York Post says if the democrats have the right man for a candidate they will win this fall. True enough. But they haven't got a 4 "right" man is where the pinch comes. You could have heard us smile for nearly three miles to-dav when we received a club of 46 subscribers to the Yellow Jacket from H.W. McAllister of Salisbury, N- C. The American newspapers with few exceptions, were not affected by the order of the War Department mak ing the official spelling of pur island Porto Rico. The average editor had too much good American sense to a dopt the Spanish 44Puerto". Since our last issue, one hundred and forty four per sons have subscribed for the Yellow Jacket. This does pretty well for a week when the farmers are all busily en gaged in the fields and most of the democratic speakers on the stump bursting their galls and tearing their shirts off 3relling against trusts and expansion. Bryan says no man can get him to abndon free silver. He savs he favors it as much as he 'did in '96, but it will not be a leading issue in this campaign. Bryan knows that the people are tired enough of hearing free silver and he thinks he can fool them to better advantage with an 4 'Imperialism" bugaboo. Hence the change. The Kansas City Journal says a Topeka politician was passing along the street re cently and saw two painters at work on an old house. 44Hi, there!" shouted the politician, 4 4don't you fellows know it is election day? Come down and take a hand. " 4 4 No time to bother with politics when I've got a job," re sponded the painter. Haven t QZZJX been in politics any 1896 ' since MAY 3,0900. The democrats grumble because prices are too high, they say they would have things different if they were intrusted with power. No doubt of it. We all remem ber, when they had the pow- jer, how they reduced every- thingto a soup level, and they are fully competent to do it again, if put in power. Western farmers don't like Bryan's tariff policy, Eastern wage-earners dis like his currency views and Southern planters are not pleased with his assault on expansion. Verily, the path of the 4 "great leaders" is getting very rocky and the fruit of liis mouth is making wry faces everywhere. Democratic attempts to make it appear that' Gover nor Taylor is a fugitive from justice because he happened to be out of the State when the partisan indictment a gainst him was made by a packed grand jury, are cal culated to disgust decent men regardless of politics. Governor Taylor is seeking justice, not running away from it. The Amendment demo crats of North Carolina say the reason they want to car ry the Amendment is to get rid of the 'vicious -element" of-voters. That's about the slimest excuse we ever heard. The very birds of the air know that the most vicious element in North Carolina to-day is composed of those who wore read shirts and resorted to shot guns to help carry the state for the democrats in 1898. A great many of our North Carolina suoscrioers want to know why we ' don't say more about the Amendment to the Constitution. We want our readers to under stand that we are opposed to this infamous scheme to disfranchise ignorant white men of North Carolina, but our paper is not a state organ as we have more subscribers out of N. C. than in it and therefore we cant de vote but a portion of our time at present to a state question. But we have just bought a Campbell Complete cylinder pressQf high speed and when we get it set up and' can procure the necessary extra printers to help get out the Y.-J. in two sections we will issue one section on North Carolina matters in general and the Amendment iri par ticular. We will then give Bull-Pen Simmons and his hired crowd of "nigger squallers" unmitigated hell. NO. 5 Political Proverbs. The policy of democracy is to pauperize the masses;; but the joy of republicanism is to give the people work T A prudent man foreseeth the evil and hideth himself , but Goebel went on and was punished. One democratic issue pass eth awa and another issue is taken up, but Protection remaineth as firm as a rock: - " ' jr " - - " . How much better if is to have full dinner pails tharr free soup, and to be enjoy ing prosperity rather than coining free silver? The wise man searcheth A. i.t 1 4.L. i-t. uul tne cause unu idyciu tut f blame where it belongs; but j the fool packeth it all on " Mark Hanna. The promises of democrat ic politicians smell like a fish factory in June; but the fulfillment of repblican pled ges has made the peo pie 4 happy. - All the promises of-, the democrats are perfect in their own eyes; but the re- publicans looketh upon their evil deeds. A partizan election law is an abomination to a republi can; but a chance to steal a vote gives the democratic politician delight. While the republicans, are in authority the people re ioice: but when Cleveland 1 ruled the people ' mourned and wore rags. . In the treasury under re publican rule there is much gold; but the democrats had to obtain revenues by selling j. An American negro is an abomination to a democrat; but he looks upon a Filipino savage with smiling lips. A party that makes an" honest fight shall receive fa- j vors of the people; but thev ; J that throw rotten eggs shall -QJ be cast aside. Republicans withhold not good from them to whom it, is due; but Bryan charges for the fruit of his mouth. Keep the ballot box pure and in the hands of the peo ple; for out of it-are the is sues of liberty. " A good democrat is an, honor to Jefferson, but th-v 1. 4 " r-m - .
