The Populists are everywhere fighting for nominations just as though there was some chance for them tcf be elected. Every county that has acted so far ha. passed resolutions favoring electing Senators by primaries, and most of them have endorsed Jarvis. If the Republicans and Popu lists should control the next Leg islature of North Carolina, the present system of county govern ment would be abolished. So long as the constitution does not provide for the election of United States Senators by the people, the senatorial primaries are the next best things. The Raleigh Nnos & Observer comes to us this week much im proved. Capt. S. A. Ashe, for the past fifteen years the editor, has retired. The paper is now under the editorial management of Mr. Josephus Daniels. The Fish Kit man & Farmer wishes it success. Governor Flower, of New York, is quoted as saying that if lie can have his way a plank will be inserted in the Democratic platform of that State next Fall giving a solemn pledge of the Democratic party that it will not pass another tariff bill in twenty years. The House on Monday decid ed to accept the Senate amend ments to the Tariff bill and im mediately passed four bills which had been reported under an or der of the Committee on Rules, placing sugar, iron ore, coal and fence wire on the free list. The Free Sugar bill passed by a vote of 376 to 11. From fifteen to twenty-two Democrats voted ' against the other three bills. Mr. Reed made a hard fight on par liamentary points to prevent the House taking action on the Tariff bill, but was beaten at every point. The Chowan county Demo crats are talking very little about politics just now. There does not seem to be the usual quota of candidates for the various of fices, though a full county and legislative ticket is this year to be elected. This is no doubt due to the iact that it will yet be several weeks before the county convention will be held. It is generally understood that the present county officers will be renominated. There are as yet 110 avowed candidates for the Legislature, though when the time comes there will doubtless be quite a number who would like to serve tlie people. Chowan has plenty of good solid men to select from and no mistake will be made bv the convention. Whose fault will it be if Chowan county goes back to the benighted days of the past ? It ought to give our people the nightmare to think of taking a :Steo backward. We must not lo it. White men, don't forget where vou live. Lookout for home government first. The Demo eratic party is the only party that promises you good govern ment at home, more than that, it has given it to you for yeais and vears. Sustain this party in North Carolina by your votes. The Populists promise you noth ing, and the Republicans swear they will upset the whole county government system, if they get into power. No white man can object to North Carolina Democ racy. We challenge him to do it. " nnCWirS IRON EITTEr.5 i:urea Dyspepsia, In digestion & Debility . J SENATOR RANSOM ONTHE TARIFF BILL. Senator Ransom, of North Carolina, says: "The tariff bill is far better than no bill at all. It might still be improved, but we should not forget that it reduces taxation and raises sufficient revenue to meet, the needs of the Government: It does not carry out the idea of free raw materials which is an important part of trie Democratic doctrine, but may be done hereafter to remedy these defects.'' m ' MR. M. MAKELY, We have heard the name of Mr. M. Makely mentioned as a suitable candidate for the Legis lature, and it gives us pleasure in saying we know of no one who would better represent us than this gentleman. He is a good farmer, a thorough business man, a christian gentleman, and a true Democrat, and having served two terms in the House of Representatives makes him better suited for the position.

STAMPING OUT ANARCHY THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT WILL DEPOT TWO THOUSAND ANARCHISTS. Rome, August 6. Six auar chists were arrested at a secret session of the anarchists' meeting at Rome last night. These were put under a strong guard at once. The Italian government has established a bureau of anarchy with the intention of ferreting out every anarchist in the coun try and deporting: him. It does not matter whether the persbn in question has ever committed any act of crime or any misde meanor. The mere fact that he holds anarchistic opinions se cures his arrest and Ideportation It is estimated that over 2,000 anarchists have been arrested and are now held in prison. These arrests have all been made with in two mouths. Especially tvig- ilant has been the bureau since the assassin of President Carnot and the attempt on the life of Premier Crispi. All the anarchists now under arrest are to be deported. Indiana was so hard up that she couldn't raise the money to pay her militia called out during the strike riots, but the Gover nor came to the rescue by bor rowing the amount necessary, $45,000, on his own note. This incident is worthy of note. mmm The Washington Post notqs phase of North Carolina politics: "Now that the Alabama affair is over, Capt. Buck Kitchen, of North Carolina, desires the at tention of the people that he may show them a few tricks in Populistic legerdemain." A bill has passed the House prohib iting the emigration of anarchists to our shores. LATE NEWS The lifesaving crews will go on duty Aug. 20th.
