As to lmpichmnt lvirin?f the recent heated canvass an.i since the eiection there has been much talk throughout the State as to whether the coming legislature should impeach Governor RusselL Thf Citizen's Kaleigh correspondent y-st-r.lay stated that public opin i..n there is divided between two courses on this question: First, to im peach; second, the legislature to pass such laws as may be deemed necessary, and take a recess until August. 1899. If thi.ee who favor impeachment be lieve that the legislature will have to pursue that course as a solemn duty and not as a matter of choice, and they constitute the majority, the question has gone beyond the point where argu nu-nt is either expedient or profita ble. We take it that the great mass of the people, if i-htjwn that Governor Rus tell can be so hedged about by legis lative enactments and safeguards that it will be impossible for him to seri ously damage the State if he should be so apposed, would be satisfied, in fact unuiii prefer, to let him serve out his term than to bring upon the State the scandal of an impeachment trial. It ha.3 betn said that Governor Rus sell has learned more during the past 3' days than during the whole of his previous life. It is entirely possible that this is true. Governor Russell has never been con sidered a foolish man by those who have known hiin best. But it would not be tiie truth to declare him a wise muii uloiig all lines. Goeiiiur Kus&cii was born in that ldtiL.ii ol lite and came from a stock that, according to model n convention alities, entitle him, perhaps, to be call ed a fceiiUi-iium. But early ia life he became out of harmony with his eu- uontiients. It is doubtful if he ever was a Kcpublican from conviction, lie had ambition beyond his ability. At least he apued to positions which his talents weie incapable of guaranteeing lu competition with the brains and manhood of the Democratic party of .N Willi Carolina. Ambition led him to tup into the lit publican party when ji.uiit;, and pride has kepi him there. and tiiis same pride has made him mis eiahit: duniij; all these years. Governor Ku.-a.-il never has believed that the ne bio siioiiid have a voice in the atiatrs . id Hie yul el anient. In tact no Demo naiic cpt-aker during the late canvass ever leiejied to Hie negro race in teiius .t such appiobiiuin as has Gov ernor Kuo.icil. ins ideas of the negro h.tte tended to keep him in an UllUUlia- L.u littine of mind during ail these uis. lie has been forced to associate politically Willi people that he despised, but whom lie had not the courage to leuounce. This has made him buter and levengelul towards a class ol North Caioliiiu a citizenship w hose good will at heart he desired. And when he came to be governor he wus piepaied neither by feeling nor ex pciieiicc to discharge his duties etii cieuliy. lie was not only not suited to be itic governor of all the people, but he was in fact unlit to be the governor 01 any considerable portion of them I poll nuie-lenlhs of his own party hi h.is looked down with contempt, and l.ir the Democrats he had little feeling ether than that which may be termed one ol revenge, lie wanted them to feel lus power and to be made to acknowl edge it. This feeling was so strong upon iiuu liiul he lost his head, and instead ol compelling homage and attracting liiciidship, he inspired disgust and pro vok'.'d alienation. AmL it si-ems plain that Governor 1. u.:-cii has seldom, if ever, during his 1 upaucy of the State house, thought of the possibility of being overthrown, lie looked wilh absolute coulidence to the election law that fusion passed, and to the tiowd of white people that he felt .-me Marion Butler could control l"i permanency of possession. In this the lioveinor tell far short of the aa tutiiitss with which he has been 1 1 edi ted by many. it 1 he legislature will pass such laws .i niai be necessary for the welfare of il.c Mute, and then take a recess, so iii.u tli.it body may reconvene if neces--.i! ic.irdlcss of the pleasure of the e.e. uiive. they will succeed in making .veriiof Kusscll as miserable as his most mveteiate enemy could wish, and u..-o save' the iHate the shame and ex p. ne of an impeachment. And it will in v ei be necessary for the legislature to meet, either. Governor Russell can be 1 rued on not to- interfere with 11. e I'idulun vf any law the incoming ieisaiuie may pass. sors to Commissioners Pearson and S. Otho Wilson at its coming session, and in selecting these men it should exer cise great care and sound Judgment. The office of railroad commissioner is one of the most important in the State But few men are fitted for such duties as devolve upon these officials. They should have the judicial temperament in an eminent degree. They must see that the interests of the people are re garded and at the same time be care ful that the rights of the corporations with which they deal are respected. No man who is incapable of seeing things from these two standpoints is fit to be railroad commissioner. ' We regard Mr. Reed as this sort of man. He has great good sense and clear judgment, and we think would capably look after the welfare of the agricultural and business classes and at the same time have due regard for the corporate rights with which he would have to deal. Mr. Reed has done good work for Democracy in Buncombe. During the recent canvass he ably assisted Chair man Murphy in achieving his signal victory. Mr. Reed already has assurances of the support of some of the strongest members of the legislature as well as the endorsement of many of the best known men in the State. THE NEWS FROM COMPANY F SORROW OVER THE DEATH PRIVATE HAREN. OF Casting an Anchor Windward In his speech before the Lotus club in New York on Saturday night last. Admiral Schley said: "It ought to be said that the match less victory of the peerless Dewey on May 1, and that of July 3 at Santiago, supported by the beautiful work ot our army in the field before Santiago, cul minated the vigilance of our Navy De partment and its officers." Just how all this "culminated the vigilance of our Navy Department and its officers," only, may not be clear to the minds of all, unless it is remember ed that it will be largely upon the rec ommendation of the secretary of the navy mat the selection of a vice admi ral win depend. It looks as if the Admiral might have been casting an anchor to wind ward here. Thanksgiving Dxy In th Savanth Army Carps Hew Lisut. Stwart Lost a Uniform- CAMP ONWARD, Savannah,. Nov. 28. One of the saddest shadows that has ever come over company F was the death of Private James C-JHaren, who passed away at 10 p. m., Novem ber 21. Private Haren bad won hosts of friends in Jacksonville and Savan nah. He was always ready for duty, it mattered not what it was. Company F. hated to give him up and there were many tears shed over the remains. When company F left home to fight and protect our country it was hoped that every member would return safe. But our good Lord has taken him away to rest where there is nothing but joy and happiness. The remains were carried to the un dertakers' the afternoon of the 2Jd, and company F marched there at 6 p. m.. when there was a short funeral service i.v our chaDlain. Rev. A. A. Iruden. Frea Silwr. Arthur Sew all, the late candidate foi vice-piesiueiit, when aked if, in his opinion, free silver had received its death blow in the recent elections, said: I den't think free silver suffered in the least. It was not an issue. 1 be lieve it as popular today as it was two years ago. It will be the supreme issue n mm), and if unsuccessful then will be upheld until it wins." This is the simple truth as we see it. The American people have, we believe, deliberately made' up their minds to try free silver. If it does what they mani festly expect it to do they will slick to it; if it fails, then they will know that another remedy must be tried. Nobod oelives our piesent currency system is what it should be. The Raleigh Post announces that Congressman Pearson and Solicitor Mott were in that city a few days ago and says "that they left wilh the real ization at least that white people held an election recently." And unless we are much mistaken these two worthies were in Raleigh trying to thwart the wishes of the people as expressed in that election. Look out and see if some of the returns from the Ninth district are not delayed, or the Secretary of State notified to hold up on the count in this .district. The New York Sun has stopped its fight on Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, and gives it as its opinion that the Doctor will be the successor of Edward Mur phy, jr., in the United States Senate. Origin of the Race Troubles- From the St. Louis Republic. When Mr. llanna promised collector- ships and postoffices to the negro del egates from Southern States as rewards for voting for his candidate in the St. Louis convention the first step was taken toward the troubles which culmi nated at Wilmington and Greensboro. It is to be regretted that Mr. McKinley could not see his way clear to evade a contract which, with the experience of his party predecessors before him. he should have known was liable to lead to a violent ending. Opportunity for Democracy. From the Peoria Herald. There has never been a better op portunity for Democrats than there is now if they have the judgment to take advantage of the occasion. It Is the party of the people against the party of the classes, and it has the advantge of being the aggressive party, while the Republican party will from time to time be placed on the defensive. The Leap-frog Parson- From the Baltimore American. Dr. Parkhursfs bitter attack upon the President tends to confirm the im pression that the champion political preacher will be happy nowhere except a party consisting of himself. in PEOPLE. Frances Hodgson Burnett has received $90,000 in royalties from the dramati zation of "Little Lord Fauntleroy."

Now there is a class of citizens In this State possibly somewhat more numerous than the "Democratic negro," who are spoken of by many, if not all people as being good fellows apart from their politics. We have no disposition to rob a man of any good name he may have earned in any community but we would like to ask the brethren If any of these "real good fellow sstepped out during the recent canvass from among the crowd that has disgraced the State and made the fight we have Just gone through with one of life and ueatn : in piain tngusn, can a man be better than his crowd ? Are not jour "real good fellows" obnoxious to the charge of knowing better, but re fusing to do better? Railroad Commissioner. Mark L. Reed of Buncombe will be a candidate before the next legislature for the office of railroad commissioner. Mr. Reed is a substantial farmer and familiar with public affairs. He was a member from Buncombe of the lower House of the legislature of 1S9L and in that body as a member of the finance committee, and upon the Boor, -did work that impressed upon Us members the fact that he had ability, industry and integrity.

A precious one from us has gone; The voice we loved is still; A place is vacant in our hearts Which never can be neiied. God in His wisdom has recalled.

All drills were omitted, and a oig dinner was furnished by the differ ent churches of Savannah, lhe people ieserve lots of credit for the undertak ,ag of feeding la.uoO soldiers. They .auied it out successfully. Over 2000 turkeys were devoured by the soldiers, lhe dinner for the First North Caro lina was served and furnished by the Lutheran church at 0 p. m. on regi mental parade grounds. All com panies moved their mess tables from company streets to the grounds and all were placed in line 20 yards apart, where the good people of the Lutheran church covered them with abundance f nice eatables. There was variety and abundance for all. Chaplain Pruden made a short talk to the good people who had carried out so successfully a -;reat undertaking, gave thanks to our God, and the soldiers went to work de vouring all they could. And still plen ty was left. When all were through every company gave three cheers in honor of the Lutheran church. Every one enjoyed the dinner. This Thanks giving day will never be forgotten by the soldiers of the Seventh army ;-orps. Captain Chadw ick of company M has resigned and will return to his home. Capt. Michie and First Lieutenant Woodall of company I, Durham, have :esigned, leaving the company without 1 commissioned officer, as Second Lieu tenant Christian is on special duty in the Second division hospital. A. H. Clarke has returned from a 10 lays' furlough at Asheville. Corporal 1'atton has returned from a 50 days' sick furlough at Swannanoa. Paul Butler is colonel's orderly today, and Harry Wolfe is orderly for Major itutler. Company F furnishes more or derlies than any company in the regi ment. It is all because they have the best appearance of a good soldier. Our fourth sergeant, Robert O. Pat cerson has received; the appointment of second lieutenant and has entered on his duties. He makes a good commis sioned officer, of course. We all had to break him in w hen he got his new uni form and sword, but can t tell the con sequences of his initiation. We are all ulad that we got one officer out of the company. I think Lieutenant Patter son will make a good one. All the boys tike him and he treats us all right and i-as the good will of every member of company F. Quartermaster Sergeant "Webb. Chief Cook H. E. Jenkins, George Watkins and Dady Wright are feeding company F high. We will soon get fat, as we are having frost every morning. We will be like Buncombe county rabbits and possums. Lieutenant Patterson 'has promised us a set-up with oysters on the strength of his appointment. J. H. and It. L. Warley. W, B. and A. L. Whitaker have returned to our company.

Carter has returned from a four days' furlough at Jacksonville, Kla., w here he went to see some spe cial friends and spend part of Gala week. Sam James of the United States ar tillery, stationed at Tybee Island, was out to visit boys in company F. No one has been promoted to the place of sergeant to fill the vacancy caused by Sergeant Patterson's promo tion. Lieutenant Stewart was the victim of a peculiar occurrence Thanksgiving night. Some private went into the Lieutenant s tent and got his uniform and sword, put them on and went ove to the Illinois regiment and was hav ing a gay time with one of the cap tains. Finally the captain asked him if he was the officer of the guard, and he said no; he was captain of the iuard. The captain knew then that he wasn't an officer, so he sent to thei guard house to get a guard to hav the man arrested. Before the guard arrived the man ran. The captain yelled at the sentinels to halt him w hen the man drew his sword and said "Where is he at? I will arrest him!' So he bluffed the guards and got away The man crossed B. U. Monday's post and Monday said if there had been 1 hole in the ground he would have got ten out of sight in it, as the pretended omcer scared him so. Consequently Lieutenant Stewart has lost his best uniform. We found the Lieutenant's sword. But the offender hasn't TTeen caught yet. 1. fc. Rector and his son.

Winston Sentinel: The portrait of the late Judge Dillard will soon be add ed to the collection of portraits of judges in the Supreme court room. It has already been received and will be formally presented by Lindsay Patter son, esq., of the Winston bar, at an early date. The work was done by Ar tist Randall. , Winston Sentinel: The colored peo ple of the city have already subscribed nearly $1000 for the purchase of a farm as a memorial to the late Lieut.

This is probably the first case on record of an Iredell lady holding the office of magistrate. Statesville Landmark: At Cleve land, Rowan county, Saturday night, Monroe Sharpe struck one Christy on the back of the head with a handspike, seriously if not fatally injuring him. Both men are white. They were drink ing, but it doesn't appear that they had quarreled when, for some reason. Sharpe struck Christy.

Mr. Boyd has been in bad health for more than a year, but no immediate termination of his life was anticipated. He took his bed on last Wednesday, but even Saturday evening he was talking playfully with his little grand- hild when paralysis of the heart brought the end with but a few mo ment s notice. Mr. Boyd was 6s years. 8 months and 17 days old. Fayetteville Observer: Capt. Elliott has what his wife appropriately calls a 'Columbus Egg." It stands on end without being treated as Columbus did the famous one which he used to dis comfit the envious courtiers. Capt. E -liott found it embedded in the straw in his barn, and standing on end. It con tinues to stand on the same end since its removal from the supporting straw. Probably the contents settled there and became hardened, thus producing the same effect as the loaded end of the fa miliar toy of like" proclivity. Winston Sentinel: Here is a plan that might work well in the Winston churches: Heretofore six elderly dea cons have passed the collection plates at Dr. Broughton's church in Atlanta, Ga., but last Sunday night six pretty girls performed this duty. Young men and suceptible bachelors w ho had been in the habit of dropping pennies into the plate searched nervously for quar ters and half dollars. The young wo men looked their demurest while mak ing the rounds of every aisle, stopping before every member of the congrega tion. The collection was the largest in months. Concord Standard: Messrs. Will Goodman and Dock Turner were here iast Saturday, having returned from Rock Hill, where some big cock fights took place. There was a large crowd present, the gate fees having amounted to a considerable sum. Air. Goodman took with him 24 of his best fighters, and had the misfortune to lose three, they having been killed outright by their antagonists. Two of Mr. Good man s "steels, which are steel spurs put on the roosters to tear the flesh of their opponent were broken. It was a great day for the people down there. The fights lasted two days, Wednesday and Thursday. The owners of the chickens had somewhat of a dispute before leaving on account of one of the owners picking up his chicken when he thought it was dead. Charlotte News: The Charlotte po lice force were notified Saturday of a robbery that occurred in Washington, D. C, Friday night. The Washington chief telegraphed Charlotte that the burglars were thought to be coming this way, as it was learned that their home was in this State. Information has been received that the burglars have been captured and that they gave their names as Charles and Edward Goldberg of Salem, this State. Bbth of the boys are well known in Charlotte and have a number of well-to-do rela tives in North Carolina. The young men are charged with entering the storehouse of James S. Tropham, whose place of business is on Pennsyl vania avenue, and taking with them a lot of leather goods, such as pocket books, card cases and other articles, valued at $150. The Washington police associate these men with other bur glaries that have been committed in and around that city for the past two or three weeks. Adjutant Alexander I nvitee Governor Russell to Savannah-Labor Com mssi-ner's Report for the Year. C. RALEIGH. N. C, Nov. 30. Adjutant Alexander of the First regiment came here last week for the special purpose of inviting Governor Russell to go to Savannah and witness the review of Gen. Lee's corps December 15. Private Secretary Cade said yesterday; "The Governor expects to go." The Willard Hosiery mill, the plant of which was brought here from Ala mance county, will begin operations to day. The machinery has all been test ed. One hundred persons will be em ployed. The negro murderer Jim Booker has made another daring attempt to break out of Jail here. He tore away an iron ventilator and with this prized away a steel bar seven and a half feet long. There is no separate cell for im. In the day he is with 18 other prisoners and at night with five. There is no death watch. The arrangement is very bad. The chances are that he will escape and not be hanged January 18. Burton, the white dude who flim flammed Rev. Dr. Bennett Smedes here out of $25, and who Is in jail, nearly died last night. As has been stated, he is a morphine "fiend" and Monday fail ed to take his dose. At 2 o'clock yester day morning a doctor was sent for. The U. S. district court meets here next Tuesday. Judge Purnell will pre side. There are over 225 cases on the docket, 100 of these being new cases of moonshining. The most important case is that against Reed, W right and Mil ler, safe crackers and postoffice rob bers. It is said they are Ohio and Illi nois men and professionals, and that one of them has "done time" in Joliet prison. Postoffice Inspector Gregory will have about 20 witnesses here against these men. A Republican from Western North Carolina makes the assertion that there is not one Republican in 100 now who does not favor letting the negro alone politcally. A Populist makes the statement that the cause of the party's collapse was that its leaders in defiance of their con vention fused with Republicans. The total amount of State warrants drawn to pay for the mobilization of volunteers is $23,177.84. These are for the months of August, September, Oc tober and November. It will be remem bered the government would not pay bills of individuals but had the State to pay them. The Attorney General says that it is really singular that during the years 1897 and 1S98 there was only 17 differ ence in the number of cases of larceny in the State. These were the number of cases tried at 325 terms of court. The keeper of the capitol, Rev. Burns has assigned all the Republicans to seats on the rear row in the house. The Populists in the same row. In a double sense they are "relegated to the rear." Dr. Warren Vines Hall, official calcu lator for the Republicans, says a change of 114 votes would have given the fusionists 18 senators. It is rumored here among the. Repub licans that Isaac Meekins of that party, will contest the election for senator in the First district. Republicans are also authority for a statement that there is soon to be a convention of negroes to consider the question of immigration. A letter from a member of the First regiment says there are quite a number of cases of jaundice. The labor commissioners' report for this year says that 20 gold mines are making deposits in the assay office at Charlotte. Mecklenburg is far in the lead in number of gold mines, with Union second and Cabarrus third. There are 11 brownstone quarries and 25 granite quarries. Two persons were killed by accidents in a mine and two in an accident in a quarry. There are eight coal mines, five of them in Chath am county, but only the Cumnock is in operation. Its output during the past three months was 2528 tons. Mica min ing shows a decided improvement and an increase of 25 per cent, in wages. There are 53 mines. The market price of corundum has run from 4 to 20 cents a pound. There are 23 corundum mines. There are many talc mines and three of these produced 3,200,000 pounds. The percentage of tillable land shows 3 per cent. gain. The average price of im proved land is $14,25 per acre; of un improved $5.75. As a rule hired help is employed eight months on the farms; average wages 7.45 in winter, $9.15 in summer. Governor Russell yesterday made an other political military appointment, that of Oliver H Dockery to be second lieutenant of the Raleigh company of the First regiment. First Sergeant Branch was justly entitled to thr place. ENTERTAINING ITEMS In Prima Condition.

PROCTOR, Supt. Chapel Hill special to Durham Sun. 2S: The body of an infant which had evidently been murdered was found yesterday afternoon by some Univer sity students who were out taking a walk. - It was found on the bank of a creek about a mile north of town. The students were strolling down the creek when they came upon a wooden box some 18 inches square, lying not far from the edge of the water. In the box they found something wrapped in a piece of oil cloth, and also a number of stones. On unwrapping the oil cloth they were surprised to discover the dead body of a child. The infant is judged to have been white, and it could not have been many hours old when disposed of. No doubt it had been put in the box alive, and the box weiehted with rocks and thrown into the water. Just how it got out of the water would be difficult' to exDlain. This was a fiendish act, and the guilty party or j Hlll and ln tne December Cosmopolitan parties, if discovered, ought to be made I we have another story, this Ume from a AN ODIOUS CAUCASIAN. From the Goldsboro Argus. The "Caucasian," Marion Butler s retrogating sheet, is now being publish ed from Goldsboro, from the printing house of Messrs. Nash Bros.. under contract. What has Goldsboro done to merit such notoriety? But if there is any town in the State can stand it Goldsboro Is equal to the emergency. But even the best town in the State will not save the Caucasian; Its calling is gone; its misnomer serves but to cnronicie the cause of its own deep, dire and abiding damnation. The Cau casian may be printed and circulated for awhile, but few will read it, and none will care for or heed what Marion Butler may have to say. He is the most odious specimen of the Caucasian inai inis country has ever produced.
