The Populists had a meeting
in Raleigh last Wednesday
night to consult about the future
of the Populist party. Not a
very large number was present
but all factions of the party
were represented and they took
each other in and united in one
grand love feast to "fuse or co
operate with any thing or any
party that was. for "the good of
the country (?)" It was the
sense of the meeting to have an
early convention. Senator But
ler nor any of the Populist con
gressman were present, but it
is said that it is Senator Butler's
plan to have their State conven
tion called to meet in Raleigh
on the same day (May 20), as
the Democratic State convention
is called to meet there, and
there and-then try to eifect a
fusion with the Democrats in
the congressional districts. It is
said that his plan for fusion on
Congressmen is for the Pop
ulists to have three (Strowd,
Fowler and Shuford) and give
the Democrats the candidates
in the other six districts. If
such an oiler should. be made to
our convention, or any other
proposition for fusion, we trust
that it will have respect and
decency enough to ignore it en
tirely. Butler fused with the
.Republicans in the last two
.-campaigns when the principles
of the two parties were antag
onistic and now that he ' sees
that the - management of the
States' alliairs under his fusion
arrangement has been so re
pulsive to the people of the
State, that they will never give
their aid to such methods again,
he is wanting to fuse with Dem
ocrats. If the Democratic par
ty should fuse with the Pop
ulists this year and the fusion
ticket be elected, it would have
to buy the Populists politicians
with offices at the next election
to keep them with it or they
would join with the Re'publi
cans. The history of the Pop
ulist leaders for the past four
years is conclusive evidence to
us that they are in it for office
and will fuse with anything to
reach it. They have thrown
principle aside and are in for
party pelf and plunder, and we
think that the honest populists
in the party see it too, and we
believe that they will come
back and vote i with the party
that has given', and will

Ix these days there is a ten
dency toward the, greatest use
of the pardoning powers by the
chief executives of States, so
much so that in many eases the
chief executives are critisized
by the public for their acts.
Recently Governor Bob Taylor
of Tennessee granted a 'pardon
which drew a storm of criti
cisms among which was one
from the Rev. Sam Jones, made
in the pulpit to a large congre
gation and which was published
in the newspapers. Some one
showed the criticism to Gover
nor Taylor and his only! com
ment was in his own ' happy
style : "If it had not been for
the pardoning power Sam Jones
would have been in hell years
ago." We count this one on
your "IJncle Jones." .

Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself
right away by taking Electric
Bitters. This medicine tones
up the whole" system, acts as
a stimulate to Liver and Kid
neys, is a blood purifier and
nerve tonic. It cures Constipa

Sleeplessness and Melancholy.
It is purely vegetable, a mild
laxative, and restores the sys

Electric Bitters and be convinc

The Railroad commission re
fused to re-insstate the old.pas
senger rates on the railroads5 and
the new rate would go into ef
fect to-day if the railroad com
panies would abide by the de
cission but they will take the
matter to the United States
court and try to prevent the
commission from enforcing
the
new law. w e are ot the
1 ITT A.i
opin
ion that the new rate (2 and 2
cents) is low enough and that,
the railroads would receive as
much in fares at this rate as at
the old rate for there, would evi
dently be more travel at. the new
rate, but we think the commis
sion made a mistake in not mak
ing the rate apply to all the
roads. We can't see why the
people along the Atlantic and
North Carolina railroad should
pay more to ride on that road
than on the o t h e r roads.
This road b e 1 o n g s to
the State and is operated by it
and this reduction in rates does
not apply to this State road:
If the State cannot operate a
railroad as cheaply as private
corporations it should sell out
its road and quit the business ;
if it can, or cannot, that is no
reason for charging a citizen of
the State more for riding on the
State's road than on the road of
a private corporation.
