DEMORALIZATION
HOT THE ISSUE.
A special' in the -Charlotte
Observer from Ashevilfed says
that National ReputilicanCommit
teeman Carl Duncan was in fthe
city on Saturday. Asked about
matters political he said: "Demo
cracy is fast approaching a state
of hopeless demoralization, both
in the state and in the- nation,
etc., which was, of course, his
way of swr&liing the inquiry
away from any of the'doings of
his own party. Granting that
his statement is true which
of course every body knows is
distinctly untrue the democrat
ic party, at that, is-yet in a much
more enviable position than the
republicans. They are not ap
proaching they have already
arrived at a state much worse
, than hopless demoralization, and
have been caught in the act a
state of monopoly-coddling, tariff
raising, money-spending, promise-breaking
wickedness as
could never before be laid at any
party's door. The people asked
. lor Dread ana nave Deen given a
a stone.
The day of excusing the acts
of one party by a reference to
the condition of the other has
passed, and the sooner Mr. Dun
can and the balance of the Re
publican evaders find it out, the
better it will be for them. This
, from the Charlotte Observer,
puts the story in a nut shell:
The Republican party has vio
lated its pledge to revise the
tariff honestly. Few except those
partisans upon whom rests an
unhappy necessity are heard en
tering any denial. Senator Al
drich spares his conscience fur
ther strain, and Speaker Cannon,
among whose faults hyprocrisy
is least, only claims that the
party kept faith according to
certain statesmen's construction
of the platform a construction
never heard of until after the el
ection had passed into history.
Many Republican Congressmen,
repudiating the .performance
with voice and vote, have gone
home to constituents even more
indignant than themselves. In
the West there are loud threats
of session from the Republican
party and independent action for
honest government."
The Observer speaks the can
did truth and it seems reason
able to assume that the party
nearest to the point of demorali-,
zation is the trust-ridden . combi
nation of hypocrisy called the
republican party. Democrats
are nearer together at present,
upon national issues, than they
have been at any time during
the past thirteen years, while
the republicans are beset by
many troubles, and divisions
galore.
Mr. R. M. Oats wishes to cor
rect the. impression that he has
anything whatever ta do with
the city water service. He sim
ply acts in the capacity of clerk
in collecting and receipting for
water rent and has no part in
turning on, or cutting off the
supply at any time. The atten
tion of all interested is directed
to the 'ordinances regulating the
Water Department" of the city
published elsewhere in this is
sue of the HustlejvJ J
REPILIGAN SPLIT. -
Senator Cummins, of Iowa,
says he-is in the -fight to the
finish against the Aldrich and
his crowd of trust fosterers. But
Mr. Bryan doesn't think him
"progressive" - enough. The
Commoner says:
"Senator Cummins, speaking
as the representative of ,the pro
gressive republicans, has d-dared
war against the Aldrich
crowd. That sounds good but
the articles of war do hot go far
enough. The Senator thinks
that all-depends on the' PER
SONNEL of the republican or
ganization. He is mistaken.
The organization, js a means to
an end. Unless the, new or
ganization means to do some
thing for the relief of the people
a change from an Aldrich organi
zation to a Cummins organization
will mean nothing more than . a
transfer of salaries iron 'one
crowd to the other.
What does the Cummins organi
zation propose to do?
Will it give us free lumber and
cheaper homes? Will it give us
free wool and cheaper clothing?
Will it reduce the cotton sched
ule and proceed with reductions
until a revenue basis is reached?
If, after this winter's experi
ence, Senator Cummins still in
sists that the tariff must be re
formed by those who believe in
using the taxing power for the
purpose of protecting those in
terests which can secure thenar
of congress he will prove a blind
leader of the blind. Still l the
fact that he wants to fight is a
good sign. Even if he does not go
far enough to make his fight . ef
fective he may encourage, a spirit
of independence among republi
cans and other republicans may
go further in than he is now
willing to go. Another sign of
his weakness is his eulogy of the
president. -He will find the
president with the Aldrich re
publicans and he cannot make
much headway."
On October 5, 6, and 7 there
will be held, at Asheville, a good
roads convention the object of
which will be to provide ways
and means tor the construction
of 200 to 300 miles of improved
roads through the Southern Ap
palachian mountains, with con
necting roads extending down
into the Piedmont section of Vir
ginia, . North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia and Tennes
see. J ' .
This convention is called by
the North Carolina Good Roads
Association, the East Tennessee
Good feoads . Association and
the Geological and Economic
Survey of North Carolina. This
is certainly title enough to war
rant a result something ' akin to
success and a cordial invitation
is extended to the public genera
ally, while good rads organiza
tions are especially requested
to send representatives. ,
CONVENTION

. So long as they are xlvki
them away, the . city authorities:
should how grant f a franchise to
thev parties who indicate their !
willingness to construct a trolly
line connecting the city v, with
various poiptsvof interest; in this
vicinity, and then . ''let- the best
man win:" What.- Henderson
ville wants is an electric street

It is not a question of who shall

Give all a, fair chance.
We very greatly regret t he
death, recently, of Mr. Thomas
M. Hufham, a ' well-known law
yer of Hickory, which came sud
denly on a Raleigh-bound sleep
ing car at Greensboro as the re
sult of an over-dose of morphine.
It is said that he was addicted
to the drug habit, some mor
phine tablets being found in his
grip, but whether the over-dose
was taken with suicidal intent is
not known. Mr. Hufham was
an exceedingly brilliant man at
the bar and possessed a high de
gree of literary talent. He fre
quently contributed to the Ral
eigh and Charlotte papers and
his articles were keenly read by
thousands of people throughout
the state. The drink, -drug and
cigarette habits are each claim
ing a host of victims annually
and the ' death of Mr. Hufham
should serve as a -warning to
young men everywhere who are
inclined to the use of either of
the evils mentioned.
The Pythian Orphanage goes
to Clayton,, the orphanage com
mittee having accepted the ten
der of forty acres of fine ' land
and $7,500 in cash, with an op
tion on sixty acres of adjacent
land at $60 an acre. Clayton is
a nice town, but it is entirely too
far east for-the purpose named.
A congregation of Holy Rol
lers is' holding its service in
Chattanooga in the face of the
threats of bodily harm to its
leader, Rev. Henegar Irvin. . It
looks nowlike he will be trim
med, if he doesn't roll away.
Those republican ( papers that
claim the republican party in
congress has kept the promises
made to the people last year
certainly have their nerve with,
them. v ,
