J THE REAL DANGER. J list at present there ii much ejiec illation as to what Congress will or will not do. The real danger, my the National Watchman, lies in the cornjtromiHe measures that may be adopted to tide over the present diffi culties. All corn prom icea ii. the paat have contained some clause or provis ion that haa called for an inU i jreta tion from tome department. This interpretation has always been in fa vor of monopoly or plutocracy. m THE LION. the cleveland. cr sp.-'tpeaty cf harmosy" rat. f ed by th demo crat;ce house 111 MM 'It ATS Willi AKK KIT II Kit TK.tl TOKS OK MI '. l.'.vi'EH Which Kino iJENzoxuf .liHiiiC- In Organisation of Ihr "M-ual l llouar.

Every free silver Democrat it) the House voted indirectly to repeal the Sherman law, jn the election to the hirfakTship of the man who be t rayed the cause of the jeople in the las. Congress.

Elected two jeurs ago un owners of the Hast knowing they der false pretense, to-day his ehc lion in the rfKiilt. of ;t ilnafiird 1 v bar. could not pass a bill to meet their ; ,ain to destroy silver. And no man wishes, simply ineorjiorated a few ambiguous phrasi'S, and the Secretary of the Treasury promptly construes them to Kitit the wants of this East ern money trust. In this manner nearly ail our laws that have plun dered the people have Ix-en formu lated. All acts of Congress are now construed by the courts or the de partments to mean just what the plunderers of the people desire. Hence, we say the danger of future legislation lies in compromises, be cause all such legislation is open to certain constructions. It is not congressional made laws that the people fear the most, it is judge and department made laws that do the greatest damage. We hope our Populist members will stand for clean-cut legislation that means what it says, and says what it means. GEN. WEAVER AND JUDGE KERR. Ceri. Weaver, of Iowa, and Judge Kerr, of Colorado, spoke to a big re form rally at Lilesville on last Sat urday of .'3,500 people, and at Teachey's Monday to 5,000. Col. Harry Skinner was with them and also spoke at Lilesville. The editor of this paper had hoped to be at one or both of these meetings, but press of other duties deprived us of that pleasure. We saw the two distingu ished gentlemen for a moment on Monday night as they passed through ( ioldsboro on their way North. While they have but little hope that the present Congress will give the coun try relief, yet they are encouraged that the people South as well as West are well informed and so alive to the situation to condemn those who may play false to them. Justice must soon come when the people are aroused and know the truth. in the American Congress THE WEST APPEALS TO THE SOUTH. At a mass meeting of the people of Colorado an address to the people of the United States was adopted. It is a strong and urgent document. We clip the following part of the ad dress, which is an APPEAL TO THE SOUTH, "To the South Colorado appeals with more soul-felt words. Two years ago you feared, with sinking hearts and paling lips, the enactment of the law that threatened to deprive you of self-government and to turn your election booths over to the ten der mercies of federal bayonets on election day. To save you from the outrages of the federal foJce bill, Colorado's two senators Republi cans defied the edicts of their party caucus and defeated what was to you the certain humiliation and the hor rors of subjection to the electoral will of your former slaves. We saved you then. You can save us now. With us now it is of more of a death struggle than it was then with you. If the schemes of the gold king's are accomplished if the present sil ver law shall be unconditionally re pealed the great bulk of us will be made paupers and our beautiful and wonderful state will be set back in its march of progress more than a quarter of a century. Colorado, great in its resources, proud of its business record, filled with brave men and resolute hearts makes this its appeal for preservation to the open-hearted and generous people of the country. We are confident that it will not be in vain. The atrocity of making homeless through the de struction, of the chief industries of 1,000,000 square miles of American territory, 500,000 men, women and children, with all the attendant scourges of enforced and hopeless idleness can neyer be the work of an American congress with your ap proval. Hopeful of speedy delivery from the crushing burdens of a financial system, begotten of the greed of Great Britain's remorseless money power, and of the prosperity insep arable from an American system, which includes the free coinage of gold and silver at the American ratio of 16 to 1 , we submit to the people of the United States this statement of our eause." This address will find a ready re sponse among the patriots of the South. No Congressman can fail to heed it without ignoring his constit uents. Owing to the want of space for other important matter, the contin uation of Gen. Weaver's speech is deferred until the next issue. Be patient dear readers, anticipated joys are only made the sweeter, (when they do come) by their tardiness in coming. "John Sherman a patriot." New York World. had the manhood to denounce this outrage, If Crisp's election as Speaker does ' not mean a cowardly and uncondi tional surrender to the administra tion, the Wall Street conspirators are the worst fooled people on the ; face of the earth. How long Crisp's "treaty harmony" will bind the free , silver Democrats in the House re- i mains to be seen. Ordinarily the I will of the Speaker is the law. Mem i bers who are interested in special j legislation or who aspire to desirable j and prominent committee assign i merits crinire and fawn around him.' His control over them is absolue and supreme. His intention to faith fully observe the "the treaty of har mony" obligations will soon become apparent in the organization of the committees. If lie stands squarely by Cleveland nothing hazzarded in the prediction that the Sherman law will be repealed speedily and un- conditionally repealed. His smooth, seductive rhetoric about "redeeming party pledges" and "legislating in the interest of the people" are an tiquated "chesnuts." It is the old story of the highwayman. What the people want to know Mr. Crisp, is do you intend to destroy silver as money? Do you favor the uncondi tional repeal of the Sherman, law trusting to the justice of capital or the chapter of accidents to, thereafter, obtain favorable silver legislation? If the latter is the Democratic posi tion and that, now, is about the size of it. Crist) and his followers are either "traitors or fools . Senator Vance has graphically defined the Democratic party. The "traitors ami the fools" are now in the ascend ancy. It is the dominating faction of the Democratic party under its present imbecile leadership. The drift is towards unconditional re peal and more "cowardly make shifts." But what will happen re ally baffles speculation. 1 have talked the situation over from every standpoint, with the best informed and coolest headed men in Congress, and no two of them agree. They are all at sea, all is confusion. But a little honest politics would settle the whole trouble. More concern for the people's welfare and less con cern for party, and the solution is at hand. "Overproduction" of "ma chine politics" that has corrupted legislation and enslaved the people it is responsible primarily, for the existing condition of things. The people have the remedy in their own hands; they need not look to this Congress for the desired relief. ORGANIZATION OP THE HOUSE. The new officers of the House are a decided improvement on the old regime. Voder for Sergeant-at-Arms was defeated because he followed the example of Congressmen and Sena ators and turned his oflice into a family business. The Yoder kin he appointed were "Republicans, but that made no difference. "Blood is thicker than water" not Potomac water. The most obnoxious, unscrupulous fellow in the organization of the last House was Doorkeeper Turner. He is typical Tammany heeler. His office was run on the "slum" sched ule, and it was a disgrace to the House and the country. The won der is that, with such eminent qual ifications, he was so easily and so ungloriously beaten. As an evidence of the Democratic depravity in New York this fellow, who, at the time, was an ice peddler was elected to Congress as Sunset Cox's successor. Snow, of Illinois, is a big improve ment on Yoder as Sergeant-at-Arms, and Hunt of Mississipp is out of sight as between the ice man and himself. This was a spirited contest over the Chaplaincy of the Senate. The preachers' were out in full force, and some of them proved to be expert electioneers. They all prayed the way they voted. Some of them were "hustlers" on election day. One seedy-looking, importunate brother, told how he had broken up the Third party movement in his circuit An other expatiated on the fact that his elder brother was baptized "Jefferson Davis," and that he was a Jefferso nian Democrat. That settled him. His name was not mentioned in the caucus. The North Carolina dele gation complimented Brother N. M. Jurney, and had the suave, accom plished and genial brother been on the ground, he could easily have car ried off the belt His handsome pres ence, his good-fellowship, his kindly ways, his broad charity, his manly sympaty, would have been an inspira tion to tne two or tnree hundred men who sit under the big sky-light in the TTnnse - k good a live at cheap hotel and are known in the Senate bv the tenure of their incumbency. The rule and tradition that gave the South iU distinction and made its anti-bellam hietorj ban been reversed. "Machine politics" ha been the cure; of Southern devel opment political as well a.-? indus trial. It hint deacetionalized the j (statesmanship of the country. It has destroyed the manhood and de throned the braids of the S utK Vance, Butler, of South Carolina, and Morgan, of Alabama, are the Southern leaders in the Senate. With all his jolitical infirmities Vance is the ideal Southern Senator. He empties tlu. cloak-rooms and fills the galleries w hen the word is passed around "Vance ha got the door." That is the test. The people m the galleries many millionaire monop oly -made tramps among them are acute observers of the politicals evo lutions now in progress. To-day, when I saw him he was the hero of the brains, the manhood and the con victions of the Senate, He was sur rounded by a group of men who, in the coming weeks will make a new chapter in the political history of the country. I thought of the anti-snapper,shirt-tail-parrot newsKi)ers that are bark ing at his heels reading him out of the Democratic party because he insists that party platform pledges shall be kept. But the newspaper fellows are right. Vance says Demo crats who expect silver legislation after the repeal of the Sherman law are "traitors or fools." The Bour bon press replies, "the Democrat who demands that the Democratic party carry out its platform promises, is a "traitor or a fool," Speaker Crisp says: "We must redeem our pledges." Why don't the little ma chine editors jump on Crisp? Rea son : Crisp is lying, and they know it. lo be a Democrat "in standing" now, is tantamount to confession of lying and hyocracv I he happiest-looking most self complacent man in the Senate is (Jen William Ransom Cox. For many years past his lines have beeu cast in lard places. According to Bob Fur man's arithmetic he was counted out of the nomination for Governor Later the Raleigh politicians defeatec: him tor the Congressional nomi nation. The machine nominated John W. Graham a representative of the kid glove aristocracy. The people re volted and elected a plebian printer John Nichols, a Republican. Wash ington is the Utica of tramps, newly married people, political hacks and ex-Congressman Cox was chairman of the Civil Service Fraud.and, natural ly, when he got out of a job, he looked in that direction for employment He was an applicant for Civil Service Commissioner, lor some inexpli cable and inscrutable reason Cleve land didn't take to Cox. Ransom a kinsman exhausted his eloquence in vain. Cox left here in despair He went to his Edgecombe farm with the ambitious resolution to re-estab lish his reputation as a lawyer. He saved the party as the chairman of the State Executive Committee, and made the reputation that afterwards sent him to Congress. The last cam paign found him despondent and hopeless, lie was ignored by Sim mons as were Columbus Smith.Dick liattle and Sam Ashe, who preceeded him, as Chairmen of the Executive Committee. He compared Simmons knowledge of politics to his own edu cation in base ball literature. He made two or three speeches to the Edgecombe farmers, but they didn't respond. I saw him to-day for the nrst time siace there-union at Appo mattox. No braver soldier followed the great Lee than young Cox Hardly a line or feature of his face recalls the gallant young officer of 28 years ago. The old, tattered, battle marked,gray clothes, have given away to the highest art in "draping" and English clothing. As I write his erect, military figure, stands conspic uously under the shadow of Adlai s ax. lie is the Secretary of the Sen ate. The mtronasre of his office has been panned out by the Senators.

Thomasville " 17th White Cliffs carriage-drive made a very grand sweep from the big entrance gate around the outer circle of the old live oaks up to the low stuccoed front steps, on either side of which thick beds of purple and white violets cushioned the brown earth and were even then sweetening the chill November air. In one of the large square rooms which looked out upon the flower garden at the side of the house, the en tire family of White Cliffs, with two j exceptions, was assembled. Those j White Cliffs and three of her sons. "The Lorimer boys," with one ex ception, were great, broad-shouldered, long-legged, stalwart young men, with square determined ja vv6 and fine eyes. Their height and their square jaws were maternal contributions. Their good looks and Indomitable love of roving came from the Lorimer side. People said there must be a trouba dour or two in some of the branches of the Lorimer tree. The boys were always falling into sentimental scrapes of one sort and another. And certain it was, nothing irked them more " than sitting decorously around the house "like so many tabby cats," as Rafe contemptuously described it. They looked absurdly ill at ease this quiet afternoon, grouped idly about the open fireplace, with nothing more active on hand than watching their mother's fast-flying knitting needles. They would have felt Infinitely more comfortable with their guns upon their shoulders, their trousers securely tucked inside their top boots, their dogs at their heels, and murder in. their hearts. But the spell of the unusual was upon them too. The guns were all stacked in one corner of the green tinted hall, the dogs were in exile, and. with their three pairs of restless feet encased in faultlessly polished foot gear, the Lorimer boys sat decorously about the home hearth, patient and bored. The mistress of White Cliffs was dressed in her best b:ack bombazine, over which she had thriftily drawn a crisp white muslin apron. She was knitting. Divine Providence had laid the inexorable necessity upon Mrs. Lorimer of always keeping her hands occupied. She always was knitting if she was not doing something else. Apart from the swift-flying fingers, she was absolutely motionless. The rest lessness which on 'the boys' part found expression in the shuffling of feet, on repressed yawns, or an occasional ex pletive indicative of wearied patience, was only to be surmised in her case by the unnecessary frequency with which she jerked a fresh supply of wool from the big gray ball in her lap. Her eyes, not big and soft and gray like the "Lorimer eyes," but small. blue and penetrating, never once left the dancing flames of the wood fire. Her strong, square, masculine jaw twitohed occasionally; but whatever her source of inward disquiet, it found no other expression. She sat there the em bodiment of self-contained strength. The, neighbors wre fond of saying that "the Lorimer boys never would know what they owed their mother." That they were fully conscious of her worth, and that they still stood in con siderable awe of her, great burly fel lows that they were, was beyond ques tion; but their awe was mfxed with the tenderest reverence. Suddenly a scuffling of hurried bare said Lorimer, with a disarming lamrh Lorrie was tho only one f the, tribe who ever ventured to comment on their mother's dictra or to turn her into gen tle ridicule. Hut sin was not to be iested with to-day. even by her first born: "Don't be disrespectful, Lorimer. It was not by my orders that you banished the dogs. Raphael seemed to think tney mignt siioct Mrs. John Uoniner s city nerves. I consider that what is good enough for me sliou d be g;od enough for John's wife." Dick Lorimer had a habit of per tinaciously sticking to his text: "Un questionably, mummer; and what made me think about flowers was remember ing how you told us about the fine do ings and the gorgeous decorations when father brought you here a bride." The .faintest possible flush mounted into Mrs. Lorimer's sallow checks; her eyes flashed, and her square jaw be came, if possible, still more square. "That was different Times were different. Everything was different. It was my sisters who did it. John has no sisters. Moreover, your father never took me anywhere as a bride. I brought him here. White Cliffs was my father's wedding gift to m. And and" she turned her eyes wistfully upon Lor imer's handsome face, "while I meant to do the right thing by all of you boys, I wanted Lorimer's wife to bo the one to take the reins when 1 am gone." Lorimer put out a soothing hand. It stayed the fast-flying knitting-needles for a brief while. "White Cliffs will need no new mis tress for long years to come yet, mother. You are worth any two of us to-day." "Say a dozen of us," said Dick, lib erally. "But to return. Don't you think, all . of ya that a few camellias would set kike old room off handsome ly?" "There's bushels of them in bloom over at Glenburnie." This from liafe. "Glenbwnie!" Lorimer turned a warning glance upon Kale. Airs. Loi.iucr t ri ed the word iu a thick voice: "Glenburnie!" She had folded her trembling hands in her lap and turned wondering eyes on the daring suggester of this plan for beautifying the White Cliffs sitting room. Rafe stood his ground with outward composure: "Yes'm, at Glenburnie. I rode past there yesterday, and the iaoonica ousnes were loaded down with blos soms." "They sell the flowers." said Richard, combatively, "and we are as free to buy them as anybody." ; "She sells the flowers!" Soorn, sur prise and disgust struggled for the mas tery in Mrs. Lorimer's voice. "Yes, ma'am. Why not?" The frown on the mistress' forehead deepened. Lorimer looked beseeching ly at the boys. Did they not know as well as he did how hard their mother had struggled for the stoicism she would need for this coming ordeal? And was it not a pity to have it shat tered by dragging Glenburnie into such unnecessary prominence? There was an ominous silence. Dick got up, and, after moving aim lessly about the room for a second, mut tered something about "reporting pros-- crw., a. ima maae nis I.
