The prohibition party of North Caro linn, in convention assembled, acknowl dging Almighty God as the source of ill true government nnd His law as the standard to which allhumanciiaetments should conform; and declaring our tile- glance to the notional prohibition party, presents the following declaration of principles: 1. The liquor traffic is a foe to eivili.a tion, the arch enemy of popular govern mcnt and a public nuisance. It is the citadel of the forces that corrupt oli. ics, promote poverty and crime, de grade the nation's home life, thwart the will of the people and deliver our coun try into the hands'of rapacious class in terests. All laws that under the guise of regulation, legalize and protect this traf fic or make the government snare in its II gotten cams are vicious in principle and nowcrlcss ns a remedy. We declare anew for the entire suppression of the manufacture, sale, importation and ti n nnorlatiou of alcoholic liciuors as a beverage by federal and state lcgisla tion and the full powers ol the govern ment should he exerted to secure mis result. Any party that fails torecognize the dominant nature of this issue in American politics is undeserving of the support ot the people. 2 The increase 01 extreme poverty, the ncciiinlationof theiiation's wealth in the hands of the few. the oppression of the ooor. the grinding down ol the wages and the depression of the agricultural and industrial interest nave iteomc maiicis. great moral and political import ance. These evils arc Manny uic re suits of the liquor traffic, special legisla tion, uniust taxation, despotic combina tions.dishoncst siieculntion, a false system of finance and unrestricted immigration. We pledge ourselves to remedy these evils through legislation which will se cure to every citizen, rich or poor, equal rights, equal justice, equal protection and equal opportunities. 3. Taxation should be so adjusted that each citizen will contribute to the neecssarv expenses of government in proportion to hisabilitv. Taxable prop- ertv should be listed at actual value less any bona tide indebtedness ot uic owner tlnrmf. 4. Railroads, telegraph and'othcr public corporations should be controlled by the government in the interest ol the people and no hinder charges allowed than nee cssary to give fair interest on the capital actually invested. 5. All elective off'j.-crs, eoniitv, state and national, including 1'nitcd States senators. president and vice-pres ident, should be filled by a direct vote of the the people. (. North Carolina should be redeemed from the reproach of standing so near the foot of the sisterhood of states inthc ed ucational rank of the public schools. Having ulrcadv provided funds lor higher education wc declare that lcgisla tion should now be directed to the im provement of the basal part of our edu cational svstcm. the public schools, now in a crippled conditicn for the want of means to improve. 7. The betterment of the public high ways is the most important economic is sue in internal improvement, vvc declare therefore, to make such chances in our laws as will provide lor remanding the able bodied male criminals of each county to the care and custodv of the county authorities for work upon the highways within the respective counties, the distiibuliou by the board of agriculture of literature setting forth the most improved methods of road building and a more equitable basis of taxation lor the road fund. S. Wc demand furthermore such legis laliou as will grant the necessary legal privileges and guarantee a svstcm ot finance Unit will lie as fully adapted to the peculiar needs and conditions of the agricultural classes as thcnnthmil banks arc suited to the wants of the conuncr- il and manufacturing classes. This is the ticket put out by the con- ntion Thursday: or governor. I. M. T;milclon.of Wake; lieutenant governor, W. G. Candler, of buncombe; treasurer. J. fi. Homier, cretary of state, Dr. . W.

Dickinson Chairman One Branch. Nuw York, Aug. 5. The democratic campaign committee met yesteruay. Neither Whitney nor Gorman, who it was desired should take the chairman ship of the committee, would permit the committee to select him for chairman. There was a long discussion, ending in the selection of Don M. Dickinson. Sen ator lohn K. Athcarn. Nelson Smith, chairman of the Tammany general com- sccrctarv of the national leaiiguc of democratic clubs, were among the visitors at head quarters. The democratic state committee will meet at the Hoffman house tomorrow evening to arrange for headquarters and take steps to start active campaign wnrk at once. On motion of Mr. Gorman, Mr. D.

Wnit- ncy to the committee. TOM WATSON'S CHARGES. THE FAIR BILL PASSED DID HE TRY TO COMMIT SUICIDE? IT APPROPRIATES TWO AND A HALF MILLIONS. The Committee's Report Says They Were Not Sustained. Washington, Aug. 3. The commit tec appointed to investigate Tom Wat son's charges of drunkenness against members of the house completed their work this evening, and the majority will submit their report tomorrow. It will show that Watson was unsuccessful in sustaining his charges, and some shun criticism will be passed upon the noto riety seeking young third party man. lie will not be consureil, because the charges were not made on the lloor of the house, and because Speaker Crisp and other Georgia demo crats do not propose to make a political martyr ol him. rtibhc sentiment ana the sentiment of his associates in con gress is all against him, as he will dis cover by the report which Chairman lloatncr will present. Jerry tumpson, who represents Watson on the commit tee, will submit a minority report, claiming that the charges have been lull V proved. Watson, it is understood, is disposed to filibuster against the adoption of the report adverse to him self. N. V. Sun. All the Amendments) Voted Down and the Durborow Bill Reported to The House and Acted I'pon The House Can Now Adjourn. Washington, August t. At noon the house resumed, in committee of the whole, consideration of the Durborrow World's Fair bill. Mr. Cummings, ol New York, made a bitter speech against the proposition which he characterized as one which was intended to loot the treasury. The World's Fair proposition had so mixed itself up with the govern ment that it was difficult to tell which was the World's Fair and which was the government. Remnants of a former con gress had covered the lloors so that it could hardly be told whether the present congress or the heel taps of a lormer con gress ran the bouse. It was a matter ot pride with him that he had filibustered airiiiiist this looting appropriation. Mr. Fellows, of New York, eloquently supported the bill. The work, he said was a governmental one. The idea ol the f.iir had been born in congress, it had its inreption here, hrom start to hmsn it was governmental work. He bad been appealed to as a democrat to re fuse his aid to the proposition which his colleague designated as one to loot the treasury, but he had received his com mission from a higher democratic authntv than the democratic ma jority in this congress. He had icccived it from the platform of the democratic convention which had favored the fair as n national enterprise. When he came to receive directions that would control him 11s democrat, he prclerred rather to receive them from a democratic conven tion than Irom a part of his colleagues on tins lloor. The debate continued till 1 clock, l'rc- eisclv at 1 o'clock the chairman ol the committee of the whole stated that un dcr tlicorder of the bouse llv: committee must arise. Having arisen the Durborow bill was reported to the house. The pending amendment, and the only one, is the substitute otlered ov iieArmomi, f Missouri, for the first section of the bill. It provides that it the World t-o- Itimbian exposition shall deposit at the mint of the United States a sufficient quan- itv of silver bullion it fhall W coined nd delivered to the exposition 111 hall dollar coins in an amount not exceeding $5,000,000. Rejected, yeas 70, nays 139. Then the bill appropriating $2,b00,000 was passed by a vote ol ldl to 0.1. The train which leaves the Asheville depot at 3:05 was rounding the bend yesterday when a man rushed to the platform and jumped off. His rash act created great excitement among the other passengers they all thought it was a case ot suicide. Ladies fainted, men rushed to the platform expecting to sec his mangled form upon the track, but the fact was he had forgotten to put his bottle ot ' buncombe fills ' in his satchel and would not start on his jour ney w it 1 10 u 1 1 hein . H c took grca t c fiances, but he might have taken greater. GRANT'S PHARMACY. Till-; CHOLKKA IN RUSSIA. Over one Thousand New Cases In a Day. St. l'liTEKSiU RO, Aug. 2.

In the house yesterday Mr. l'icklcr, of South Dakota, moved an amendment to pending bill providing that hereafter no intox icathig liquors shall be sold in the house restaurant of the cnpitol laughter. In view of the late investi gation said Tickler this amendment was absolutely proper, sen prcserva tion was the first law of nature. Ccr tainly the members of the house ought to preserve themselves.
