REPUBLICAN EX-SECRETARY HAW . : PRAISES CLEVELAND AND , DENOUNCES BRYAN. v i It isn't often .that we get such a candid statement of the principles of the Republican party and its ally, Mr. Cleveland, ' as that expressed by former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie M. Shaw in ft speech at Map shall, Michigan, night before last. Mr. Shaw boldly declared that Mr, Cleveland , had; , demonetized silver against the wishes of 80 per cent, of the people, and that he was right in doing so. That is a nice answer by this modern Republican to the doc trine enunciated by the founder, of his party, Mr. Lincoln, who declared that this was a government "of, by and for the people." - ' f . Mr, Shaw makes a mistake, how- ever, in his allusion to fiat money. It was his party which first cursed the; American Republic .with " fiat money, the dishonest legal tender greenbacks ; and it was his idol, Mr. Cleveland, who prevented the fulfil ment of the Democratic cry for " bard money" and forced thereby the re tention of our present "rag money" system as a settled American policy. The press report of Mr. Shaw's speech follows: Tti Amonran npnnV have sel- Mw r 1 , dom settled more than one question . . , .1. 1 1A at a lime, nor nave tucjr uccu umw mn 'nftpn trt opttl the same Ques tion twice. They have been likewise usually wise in the choice ot leaders. ; "When the question of the free and unlimited coinage of silver be p.m. rlnminnnt the neonle were most fortunate in naving as ineir cniei Kxecntive a man who never listened to popular clamor, who seldom seem ed to care for populaf sentiment, and who rarely sought popular applause, and who at the cost of being forsaken by his own party, and quite general ly condemned by the opposition, stood like a rock ana prevented me ruin which the people would have nnMvnaciouslv wrought UDOU tbem- flolvps and maintained the trold standard in the face of statutes admittedly capable- of equivocal In- tornretatinflfl. "I have never consiaerea vjrover Cleveland a. great statesman, but he una and la a ereat oatriot. a man with abiding convictions, and fear less in his adherence thereto, ui tne men who have held high official po sitions, few have had the couraee to bid defiance to popular opinion, and tewer still nave naa me opporiunuy nf savin o- the nennle from themselves. President Hayes 'vetoed a free silver bill, Senator Allison preventea an- nttirr hv a timelv comnAmisa. and Cleveland maintained the parity of all our lorms 01 money against me wishes of probably so per cent. 01 tne people. ... . : . ;. ' , "No wonder that tne. twice-ae-feated candidate for the Presidency favors the initiative and referendum. Under such a system we would have gone at one time to a limitless issue nf irrerWinnhle fiat monev. and later to the free and unlimited coinage of silver, Either would nave wrougni irrennrahle ruin. Trulv a representa tive government i preferred to a pure democracy. - The admitted leader of the ODDO sition nartv. confident of his nomina tion at Denver, is just now seeking popular lavor oy announcing mc ua nise nolirv nf a foolish Hebrew kincr: 'My predecessor cnastisea you wun arhins: if elected. I will chastise with scorpions. My little finger shall be thicker than my predecessor's thigh.' He fails to realize that excessive and too frequent punishment is as sub- vertive ot discipline as iaxuy. . 'T aiish to rvmind him. therefore. before he completes his third letter nf arvHntanr that rnrnoral Punish ment is neither the purpose for which schools are organized, nor criminal nrnsMMittnna the end tor wnicn rov ernmenta are instituted amour men Both are necessary at times, Dur, 11 is never wise to give primary attention to either for any considerable length of time. It has not been found neces sary to enlarge our penitentiaries, nor nr thev the families of the chief of fenders against our civilization who are now snfterino for the common necessaries of lite or accepting reuei at the 'liana ot cnanty.' as always, punishment, when inflicted, falls se verest upon the innocent and the de fenceless." ' v - TOE CHAIRMAN OF THE CONGRESS IONAL COMMITTEE. The ' election ; of Representative Lloyd, of Missouri, as chairman of the Democratic congressional cam paign committee,' over Represent' tive Ryan, of New York, gratify ing as an indication of the intention of a majority of the party leaders to steer clear of that Eastern influence which has injured the party so often in the pastJ Mr. Lloyd was' nominated by. Rep reseutative Champ Clark, and the nomination was seconded by our own Mr. Kitchlu, who is always oh the right side in the factional contests withiil the party. ,z.:. Mr." John Sharp Williams nomi nated Mf. Ryan, who; was defeated by a vote of 13 to 14. ' Zt'j-r VITAL IMPORTANCE OF BRYAN'S ' - ELECTION The importance of the election of Bryan as the next President is vital, We mean that it is vital to the exist ence of the Republic that s Democrat be elected next time. ' We say Bryan because he will be the Democratic nominee. . , Everything Indicates that the mon archical forces' will put forth super- human efforts to stay the Progress the present - Revolution the Revoliv tion which was begun at Chicago in 1896 against the despotic form of gov ernment inaugurated by the Triumph of the Doctrine of Force in 1865. We subjoin t press dispatch from Washington which calls attention to the circumstance that the next Presi dent will have the appointment of four justices of the Supreme Court,' almost half of that -body, As the Supreme Court has become, ' by vir tue of the employment of a "Code of Precedents" contrary to Reason and to our Written ' Constitution, the American sovereign, the circumstance mentioned is of vital consequence. The perpetuity of our institutions no doubt depends upon the character of the four judges to be selected. One readily sees ahead the battle royal be tween ' Plutocracy and Democracy. The effort to prevent Bryan's nomi nation by the Democratic, party hav ing failed, attention will now be turn ed by the agents of Plutocracy to his defeat Opportunity, by the Way, will soon be offered to . judge of the sin cerity of those newspapers and politi cians who have been fighting the nomination of Bryan. Every Demo crat, of course, is entitled to the pri- ilege of doing all in his power to se cure the nomination of his favorite or to defeat the nomination of one con sidered by him .unfit. A certain class, however, of those now calling themselves Democrats were naturally under suspicion because of their hav ing supported the Republican ticket in 1896 after having participated in the Democratic conventions of that year. That was almost forgotten when these same bolters come for ward now with . quotations from the Republican Washington Post and the Black Republican New York Sun ad vising the Democrats not to re-nomi nate their candidate of 1896. The readers of those papers, seeing that the papers call themselves Democrat ic, naturally conclude that the Post and th. Sun are Democratic. Regu lar Democrats, therefore, have the right to question the sincerity of these papers and politicians who advise Democrats to follow the advice of Re publicans. One would imagine that papers and politicians wearing the garb of re spectability and enjoying the associ ation of gentlemen would not stoop t- such dissimulation ; but the stake is colossal it is the subjugation of this vast empire, on the one hand. and the restoration of our government" to the Constitutional condition which the Triumph of the Doctrine of Force disturbed, on the other, Here is the dispatch alluded to : The fact that the successor of Pres- ident Roosevelt will in all probability appoint four justices of the supreme Court is attracting the attention of politicians here who see in it an ad ditional complicating feature for a campaign already complicated more than any which has been waged by the republicans in the last twenty-nve vears. rue lour vacancies win oe created by the probable retirement of Chief Justice.

None is in robust nealtn. Three members of the court were appointed by President Roosevelt- Justices Day, Holmes and Moody, The appointment of tour other jus tices by a man in thorough accord with the president's policies would mean that a -substantial majority of the court would probably be sympa thetic with the Roosevelt views of what is constitutional legislation There is the best authority for saying this situation has caused no little Concern among the present members of the court. It is known that there has been a free exchange of ideas among the jus tices with the result that there is sub stantial accord. The court is almost unanimous against Roosevelt meth ods and against many of the results of these methods. , In an after-dinner speech Saturday night one of the most widely known members of the court expressed the opinion that the court had no sympathy with "government by the mob" and would stand like a rock against it. . All this is of special concern to the ltbor leaders. It is significant that recently there has been a Warming toward Roosevelt by those men. . The decision of the supreme court declaring unconstitutional laws in which they :were vitally interested and knocking out the boycott have incensed the labor leaders here. They are beginning to see the significance of the situation in the court.. THE TANGLED WEB OF OUR DISHON . - : i EST FINANCIAL SYSTEM. , ' ; We have had a good deal to say late ly about the dishonesty at the bottom of our financial system. . No one can deny that the foundation of it was laid in dishonesty"!' vU rthe inaiitng "money" of worthless paper, and the crooked device of taxing the State banks of issue out of existence in the face of the Constitutional provision against abolishing them directly. No superstructure upon this rotten foun dation can endnre. The trouble with our so-called statesmen is that they are too ignorant of the nature of our Institutions to perceive this, or too timid or too corrupt to apply the knife to the sore. -.. For this reason .they aft flounder aimlessly, while the Wall Street ben eSciarie of. the.. systenUook gn with delight not nnmingled with con tempt.' ? " '.",.'',".':, Here is an illustration in yester day's press dispatches, which report colloquy in the Senate, in which our otherwise brilliant Democratic Senator Rayner, while tittering many truths, falls into the error of declaring that the financial question should not be a party issue r , V "The truth about the situation," said Mr. Rayner, "is that the money in this country is not equitably and fairly distributed and that it is con centrated at points that dominate the banking interests of the land, and the people who need the money, and the agricultural sections of the country, are all unable to procure it when the necessity arises tor its use," Mr. Rayner went on record as against the. credit currency, an asset currency, and a central bank of issue; The great trouble with the pending bill is with the reserves, ntaaic, ana he declared that the law regulating them is "simply an undisguised and stupendous deception and fraud." He said that the reserve scheme, now operated, works dishonestly and dis astrously upon the rights of the Ame rican people. ; It the country and city banks have on hand only six per cent, and i) per cent respectively ot tne reserve deposits Mr. Rayner wanttd to know who does have the money. "So, gentlemen of the South and West, when you want to move your crops, do not apply to the banks, be cause they have no money, but apply to the .New .York Stock Exchange for permission to do so." "And now lsay, wun great defer ence and respect, both for the office and for its occupant, that the Presi dent of the United States has also with the best intentions, unconsci ously contributed to the misfortunes that have overtaken us. , " Malefacfors should receive penal punishment, and a whole generation of innocent people ought not to suffer for the sins of their oppressors. One day of imprisonment would do the work better than all tne heaviest fines that can be levied upon the institutions they represent. I differ with the President in his remedies, because he has suggested one after another utterly impossible of accom plishment by the Federal govern ment. " The President in his last message says that before an investment is made the purchaser, snouid inquire into the management ot tne -road. What a reverie and a dream this is ! How is it possible to conduct an investigation into the management of the great trunk line system of the United States? "From the violent fervor of the President's utterances, there is an idea running through the public mind that he has come to the conclu sion that every man engaged in a large business enterprise- . i. a, mal efactor, and that every gooG'citizen ought to spend at least 'one term in the penitentiary." Mr. Rayner closed witn a declara tion that the financial question should not be regarded as a party issue. ALDRICH AND OTHERS. Upon the conclusion of, Mr. Ray- ner's speech, Mr. Aldrich recalled that he had stated that he was in favor of a revision of the banking reserve law, but explained that he did not mean to say- the present law or the practice under it was responsi ble in anv sense for the crisis through which the country has re cently passed. He said that on De cember 3 the country banks had in their vaults as a reserve (248,000,000, and if they had held the amount Senator Rayuer argued they should have, the amount would have been 1246,000,000 in gold and legal tender notes. That was in their vaults without regard to what they had in reserve cities or the bank currency thev held. Mr. Bailey suggested mat tnat was not a fair statement because for two months prior to December 3 the country banks, being unable to get money from the reserve banks, bad been hoarding their money. Admitting the truth of this state ment. Mr. Aldrich said he believed the same reserve was in their vaults in the preceding August. Mr. Culberson explained that his b'll, now before the Finance Commit tee, to prevent banks from kteping their reserves in other banks, was for the purpose of keeping the money in the vaults ot the country banks, where it could be used for loans and for moving crops. A controversy arose as to wnetner such a reserve could be used for any rurpose even if kept in the vaults of the banks, Mr. Aldrich maintaining that it could be used in an emergency, Senator Taliaferro, of Florida, tak ing offense at what he regarded as a reflection upon him by Mr. Kayner declared that his purpose in oppos ing the reserve provision of the Aid- rich bill was in the interest of the people of his State, and not because of any favoritism toward tne na bonal banks. . . . " CURRENT COMMENT. The Charleston News and Courier calls attention to the. circumstance that it is an ex-Confederate naval of ficer, Capt. B. F." Greene, who was as signed by the Oovernmetitrto the duty of piloting Admiral Evans's through the Straits of Magellan An exchange has. this interesting thing to say concerning the uses ot electricity for heating purposes. "A. larger utilization ot electricity tor do mestic heating and cooking is among the new features of progress of which the old-fogy must take note. For mes sages and lighting electricity, la In common use, but the average clttten does not yet employ It to fry his fish eook his beefsteak or heat his coffee. The idea of excessive expense has beeni. perhaps, an obstacle It is no doubt Impracticable at. present to use electricity ' in small , houses tor com pleta .cooking fcUcUea.outfltfhQweye.r. economical it might be In large es tablishments, or In hotels, hospitals, etc. But there Is a field for Its use for simple purposes, as, for example, in heating a sadiron, heating a chaf ing dish, making a pot -of coffee or broiling a steak. When one wishes to cook something in his own room, elec tricity appeals to him by reason of its convenience and cleanliness. Laun dries using electric Irons are said to be able to do 20 per cent, more work than with any other beater. ' One of the drawbacks presents itself when It Is desired to heat a large quantity of water for washing or for the bath tub. For heating a quart or two of water electricity Is fairly economical, but when it comes to 10 or 20 gallons the expense of current la prohibitive. Electric heating, in fact does not yet cover the whole field of domestic uses, as does gas or coal, but is confined within certain narrow limits. Within those limits, however, Its merit and convenience are Incontestable." No wondar the country at large suf fers from Ignorance when one ot the heads of the educational systems of the States, a famous university, Is rep resented by an official periodical which prints editorially such a sole cism as this: "This matter assumes great proportions to we who are af fected." WHERE "IGNORANCE IS A CRIME." A venerable clergyman, yet living iu North Carolina, once preached a sermon in the course of which he said that "ignorance is a crime." Of course he meant ignorance by those who ought to know. We have a notable example of that kind of ignorance in Secretary Taft, who said in his speech at Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Wednesday : 1 Mr. Lincoln relied greatly in his discussions on the slavery question upon the terms of the Declaration of Independence. He dwelt upon the postulate set forth in tnat instrument that all men are created tree ana equal, and he insisted that, in so far as the legislation recognizing slavery and in so far as slavery was an insti tution of our government, it was a departure from the Declaration of Independence. He maintained tnat the words ' all men are created free and equal ' included the colored as well as the white man, but affirmed with great emphasis that he did not mean that the men who were thus declared equal were necessarily fitted at once to be voters or to take part in the government. What he contended was that thev were at once entitled to the bread they earned, and should be given the right of life, liberty and the pursuit ot Happiness." Now, think of that: a man who has been a circuit judge of the United States, is now Secretary of War of this great country, and is the proba ble nominee of the Republican party for the presidency, so densely ig norant of our political history that he solemnly repeats the stale phrase of the gutter abolitionist of the fifties that the Declaration of Independence contained the .words "free and equal"! Iu the face of such amazing ig norance by one so high placed, who can wonder at the stupidity of the verage law-maker in this country since 1865, who believes in the doc trine of "rag money;" who con tinues the policy which has destroyed our merchant marine, up to 186 1 nip and tuck with that of the British empire; and who " stands pat " on a tariff system that is the laughing stock of the world. -. GOOD WORDS FOR THE OBSERVER. Among the many kind expressions that have come from abroad concern ing the Observer's recent fire, none have been more appreciated than the following words which the venerable Dr. Kingsbury, head of the newspaper profession in our State, . sent to last Sunday's Raleigh News and Observer A MARVEL IN NEWSPAPER PRINT ING AND JOURNALISM." "I am' indeed very regretful that the ably edited and very instructive Daily Observer of Fayetteville has met with such a disastious fire. The afternoon of the day of its destructive visitation it actually issued a paper in all particulars equal in its mechan ical appearance with its issue of the dav before the uniortunate connagra- tion, by which two stories of its well equipped office was destroyed, u was quite unexpected to me, and a marvel in newspaper printing and journal ism. .That paper has a long and most uselui record, and a life of more than seventy years I think. Its three edi tors, father and two sons, were all ably", excellently equipped,' and did a superb Work for their -native North Carolina. One of the most enjoyable, instructive State newspapers I have handled is the present Observer. -Its editorials are always well written, forceful, clear, accurate, and instruc tive. I sincerely hope that the loss will not be finally senons in any par ticular. " The Obseiver under Major E. I. Hale's management has been sound, safe, . progressive, true to North Carolina, the South, the peo ple, and without political vagaries and inconsistences and compromises( ing may tt live." The Observer was able to accom pljsh its ' "marvel," so far as the printing was concerned, because it had a new and complete outfit for hand type-setting m addition to the latest pattern, ofthe Mergenthaler Linotype machine, BACH capable of turning out an 8 column daily; and itsJ,'marvel'4in joujiialismr.becauae, above all, it enjoyed : the loyaltyj pluck and indefatigable labors' of a staff and force who have worked under apparently unsurmountable difficulties for the three weeks that have elapsed since the fire, much of the time in water two inches deep and under ceilings pouring streams during the recent heavy rains, wet ting the paper, rusting the machin ery, and sending two, and part of the time three, of its force to sick beds. 'THE OBSERVER HAS MADS WONDER FUL PROGRESS." - ' In its issue juit before the Obser ver's fire, "The Southern Publish er," organ of the Publishing busi ness in the South, said : "The Fayetteville Daily Observer has recently entered a new volume its thirteenth. During the lasc few years the Observer has made wonder ful progress, and now stands very high among the State's progressive dailies, being carefully and ably edi ted as well as having a complete news service. We can only hope that no clouds will obscure the Observer's horizon." WASHINGTON NEW8. Washington, D. C, Feb. 14. The commercial growth of the South Is graphically illustrated In a compila tion' of statistics just made by the De partment of Commerce and Labor. It Is shown that in the past ten years the value of the exports through the Gulf ports increased 140 per cent., from $181,000,000 In 1897 to $433,000, 000 In 1907. Lmports Increased in value In the same period from $18, 000,000 to $62,000,000. Galveston, now the second largest exporting city In the country, shows an Increase In ex ports from $61,000,000 to $197,000,000 In the ten year period, and In Imports from $644,000 to $7,669,000. The trade of New Orleans has Increased in about the same proportion. Sav annah increased in exports from $26,- 000,000 to $65,000,000, and In imports from one million to two million. The statement is made that the Gulf and border States have shown greater advances than the Atlantic and Pacific States, the former in creasing their Bhare of the total ex ports of the country, from 30 to 40 per cent That China is greatly interested In the modern methods of rice cultiva tion which have been adopted with marked success In various portions of the South, and is considering the ad visability ot introducing American farming methods and machinery, is attested by the presence here of Tong Yanhang, who describes himself as a "Chinese Government Student." Tanhang is making a close study of the rice situation, with the assist ance of Dr. S. A. Knapp, expert of the United States Department of Agricul ture In this line of work. Southern members of the House of Representatives are up In arms against the proposed scheme of the republican majority to railroad through that body the bill for the codi fication of the penal code of the Uni ted States. This will prevent consideration of the amendment to the code that the committee ingrafted into the bill, and which results in the possibility of In toxicating liquors being sent through the mails. Heretofore, liquids In glass bottles were unbailable, but should the codification bill go through and become the law of the land, the Post master General will be required to promulgate regulations under which such shall be received into the malls. This would enable persons in prohi bition states to get all the liquor they desire, delivered right at their doors by Uncle Sam, so Southern Congressmen claim. The railroading of the bill would also prevent the attempt to amend it so as to prohibit the use of the mails to promote dealing in "futures." Such a provision is designed by -Southern representatives to protect the cotton grower and the producer of other ag ricultural crops. Other amendments would be offered if opportunity were presented, but the plans ot the ma jority now are to shut these off. Three or four weeks were given In the House to consideration ot the codification bill. Only about one-third of it was covered In that period. The Senate made better progress, and the measure is said to be almost ready for passage In the upper house. So Rank Foolishness. "When attacked by a cough or a cold, or when your throat is sore, it la rank foolishness to take any other medicine than Dr. King's New Discov ery." says O. O. Eldrldge, of Empire, Ga.

As Southern menvjera have not been able to get desired leg islation through Congress, under the present rules, they are Irath to give up the hope ot tacking the legislation on to the codification h'M Are the "one night stands" of the South doomed? According to a ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commis sion, railroads are not permitted under the new rate law to make special rates to threatlcal companies. Both the railroads and the amusement mana gers are besieging the Commission to reverse itself. Among the petitions Is one from the Southern Association of Theatre Managers, representing 400 places of amusement. They say that if the special rates are not grant ed many of the "opry houses" of the South will have to present Inferior productions or ring down their cur tains permanently. The railroads are perfectly willing, even anxious to grant the special rates. The Episcopal Convocation. The Pender Chronicle of Thursday says: The Wilmington Convocation con vened in the Presbyterian church here the first of the week, and con tinued its sessions till yesterday. "The services were opened by Rev. Mr. Noe, who preached Sunday morning, followed by Rev. Mr. Cox Sunday night. Monday morning Rev. Mr. Cox preached again, and at 3 o'clock a children's meeting was held, at which short and interesting addresses were delivered by Revs. Noe and Cox. 'On Monday night the services were conducted by Bishop Strange, who delivered, as he always does, a very interesting, instructive and elo quent sermon.

We find the following in the Twin County Echo of Rocky Mount of Thursday: "A preliminary hearing before May or Thorp was had on Wednesday of Wm. D. Shaw, charged with shooting his wife last Thursday night. Mrs. Shaw claims that while she was as leep her husband shot her twice in the head, neither of the wounds, how ever, b-ing very dangerous. The hus band denies that he shot his wife, but says the wound was inflicted by her self. He insists that he has a perfect ly good defense and will show It when the proper times comes. His attor ney, T. T. Thome, Esq., at the hear ing Wednesday declined to admit any thing ir to introduce testimony, but waived an examination. The only wit ness was Dr. J. P. Whitehead, who skid the wounded woman was getting along well and would recever if no unusual complications occurred.

We understand the bond will be given through some friends or relatives of Shaw who live In Fayetteville." SIMPLE REMEDY FOR LA GRIPPE.
