It would never have passed over the State, with all its horrors, if the men who believe in White Supremacy had remained in power in North Carolina. Whj? Upon the advent of the present Republican administration,' elected by neero votes, the negro felt that he 7 was the ruling spirit in North Carolina.- The negro politician thought he had a right to hold office and lord it over white- men. Apparently the white politicians agreed with him, for negroes were placed in pos-s itions where they could control the sal aries aad employment of white laflies as- well as white men. The ignorant negro brute thought he had license to'ohtrage white women and to escape the penalty of the law for his base crime.

Editor of The Raleigh Morning Post: I saw yesterday in your paper of re cent date certain letters by Chairman Dockery and ex-Superintendent Smith, in regard to penitentiary affairs, contain ing many gross mipstatements and many petty quibbles, and doubtless designed by them as some sort of palliation to an outraged public sentiment for their mal administration of important Slate busi ness., When their . management of the penitentiary has been condemned for incompetency and worse by every man' iairly well acquainted with public affairs, -af all parties, from the Chief Executive down to the township, and when driven into a corner and refusing information that every citizen is entitled to- they have been smoked out by the fire of gen eral indignation, they have now, in the eighth mouth of 1898, offered these feeble diatribes as information to the people as to the business of the penitentiary for the year . 1897. If the business has been con dacted according to law. why do ihey not make a report as required by the statute, and give the information desired? Mr. Dockery says: "Theoretically, the law requires the peportof the superinten dent of the State's prison shall be made on the 1st day of January." I affirm that It can be done, and practically always has been done herotefore. And if a few days delay were necessary, how does he account for a delay of eight months, and then responds only upon the demand of the Chief Executive forced by the public clamor? Both of these officials affirm in this so- called report that Superintendent Smith took charge of the penitentiary April 1, 1897. The records show that he qualified on the 5th of March, 1897, and he notified me the same day, whore rjpon I at once turned over the whole .business, and after that never contracted for a cent, never collected a cent, never paid out a cent The statement, therefore, that I was re. sponsible for any business of the peni tentiary, out-going or incoming, after the 5th day of March, -is without founda tion. 'It is stated in "Mr. Dockery's letter (or Isv .--. 'nS vp k ward state of ore Da "od, uupon some of them RE-I Legislative committee on penal institu tions to recommend an appropriation, he declined to do so, saying that it should be not necessary and that the penitentiary could be sustained in the future as it had been in 1896 without the people's taxes. Some other persons, very few, may have asked my opinion about an appropriation, and if so, I made the same answer. It is strangely paradoxical to charge that I had any influence at all with that mob called the General Assembly of 1397. I had no Influence at all with them, and desired none. Mainly, by way of feeble criticisms of the former administration rather than by a plain business-like statement of the af fairs committed to their trust, these ofQ cials who have been clearly unfaithful to the State hope to avert the blow threat ened by the indignant public The re moval of Superintendent Smith irpm the control of the penitentiary is confeasioa of judgment before the open court of pabhc opinion in North Carolina, that th fu sion administration has been ahariefally incompetent, if not worse. The people have a right to look at the books, and they intend to do it and thev will yet , 'what have been the receipts of the penitentia ry and what has become of them. ' -A.

I beard all the members of the committee, especially Mr. Clark as also the superintendent, ex press astonishment and delight at the ad vanced and careful administration of the lands, Mr. Clark asserting that he be lieved there was no farm in the State in such good condition as that before him. This misstatement is so palpable that it vitiates all other statements made. : The truth is, there were not less than 7,000 acres of these lands beautifully and thor oughly prepared by the 20th of March. If nothing had been done, which I say again is absolutely false, why did the in coming administration employ my super visors to remain and make the crop? And if nothing had been done till the 1st of Aril, how was such a large crop made that year? As to supplies on hand, the fusionists seem to have expected that the Demo crats should have provided at least a year's rations of flour, meat, etc., for their benefit We usually bought such things of this kind as they were needed every month, and we expected them to do likewise or as they deemed best It is admitted that there was not corn to reach corn again, because as every one knows the July flood of 1896 destroyed the whole corn crop except about 20,000 bushels. Much ado Is made by these officials because they found amongst nearly 406 mules and horses a very few sick, disa bled or wornout animals. We found it necessary every year to dispose af ineffi cient stock, and to replace them with oth ers fit for the service. We found the peni tentiary in 1893 with 210 mules and horses. We added just about that num ber of young and vigorous animals dur ing our 'term, and the ayerage of the whole was very high to any one capable of judging and who is not determined to mis resent. If Mr. Snrith sold 821 bales of cotton for $20,061.27, as he reports, then he re ceived only about 5 cents per pound for it. Hundreds of bales were sold in Feb ruary at an average of 6 7-8 cents, ia Norfolk, equivalent to 6 3-8 at home mar kets; and the price was 1-4 to 1-3 cent higher in April than February. It is not to be forgotten by these guardians of the 8tate's interests, that a large part of the fertilizers, several hundreds tons, were bought from parties who bought much of the cotton; and for these, several dollars more per ton were paid than the stuff was offered at by other responsible pat ties.' Certainly this could not prove less than the baldest incompetency. Accord ing to the code ot ethics of the late Ben Butler, a man might prefer to be called a knave than a fool. The officials find much fault with the Democratic administration because their superintendent, they allege, exerted great influence to prevent an appropriation by the last General Assembly for the peni tentiary for the years 1897 and 189S. The superintendent differed vtlth Governor Carr as to the necessity; for an appropria tion, and declined to recommend it, though the Governor did.

Webster's Weekly. The time has come for the white men of North Carolina to get together in a spirit of patriotism and conciliation and bury the difference that have divided them in the past They owe it to them selves, to their wives and children and to the State they love to come together like brothers sod forgive and forget They have differed honestly, and neither side feel they have done anything to apolo gize ror, ana no tests will be submtttea to. Now let's compare notes and sec what has been gained by division. We cheer -fully concede that our friends who went into the Populist party in 1893 and 189 4 were actuated by honest motives. Those who left in '93 did so because they ha 1 no confidence in Cleveland and believed he would betray the people into the hands of the money power, while those who went ia '94 were mad because the Democratic party had failed to carry out its pledges. While dissenting from their judgment as to the remedy, we have nev er found it in our heart to think or speak unkindly of those who left the Dear ocrat ic party on account of Cleveland. They meant to rebuke him and those who up held him in his treachery, but they made serious mistake in letting a few trai tors drive them out of the house of their fathers. Now the Democratic party Is with them In repudiating Cleveland it did so in 1896 and nominated as its candidate for President a man who satisfi. 1 the Popu lists in every respect and they made him their candidate. So in coming back to the Democratic party a Populist is not playing the prodigal son act nor even sacrificing his pride of opiuion, for his repudiation of Cleveland has been en dorsed by his former associates. The Populists ought to come back to the Democratic party for many reasons. We will name some of them: 1. Because it is the only party that is capable of giving good government in State and Nation. 2. Because it is here to stay .being based on the bed-rock principles of the Consti tution. 3. Because it ia the only party that is st xngj enough to throttle the money power. 4. Because it is the party of intelli gence ana virtue ana does not aepena upon the negro vote. 5.

Thelre are bad men in it no doubt: there are trick sters and wire pullers. We have no apology to offer for their existence. Our quarrel with our friends who went off on this acc unt is that they were not practi cal; they weakened the hands of the faithful, and in repudiating one set 01 bosses took refuge with another. .The boss thrives in every organization in in e proportion the members wHl submit to his domination. Party very often gets the blame that belongs to human nature. so prone are we to charge other people with our failures. The Farmers' Alli ance did both itself and the Democracy a service in 1890 when it turned its atten tion to the regeneration of the party. Every demand it made was acceded to and the largest Democratic majority since the war was rolled up. So long as it worked inside the Democratic party it had everything ita own way in State af fairs, but when it went out it found it nec essary to combine with a party that op posed everything it wanted and enter into a cold blooded trade tor omce. The Populist party is only six years old. yet Its factions accuse each other of as many sins as has ever Deen laid at the door of the Democratic party. Butler says Skinner and his crowd sold out to Hanna and el. -tea mtchard. bKinner and his faction charge Butler with being a boss and w "th having broken faith with the Republicans. If this be Populism in Its infancy, what wi'l it be in its maturity. What have our t'opuiisi menus gained by - utting life into the Republican party in North Carolina? They have a United States .

ISo Democratic bolter has ever been able carry enough votes to elect a Republican senator, but fcxinner co..upted enongn Populis return Pritchard to the Sen ate. So hadn't we as well stop throwing rocks at each other and start anew? All hands have made mistakes and the material for a perfect party does not exist Co-operaUon was effected in 1S94 to get a new election law, yet it is a fact that the Populists polled more votes under tbe Democratic law than they did under the law passed by the legislature elected oa that issue. The new law has streng thened the gold standard and negro par ty and made it able to dictate terms to le Populists. Our Populist friends must admit that they are not as strong now as they were in 4 ana cannot carry a single coun ty ia the State without the aid of the ne gro party. To get anything for them selves they must1 consent to a division with the Republicans, and their experi ence in the last Legislature shows that having released the Republican tiger they are powerless to control him. The pres ent shameful state of affairs has come to pass ia spite of the good intentions of the rank and file of the Populists, who have found themselves unable to control the Republicans and the corrupt element of their own party. dear est right belonging to the free holi est citizen.
