As for myself, I in tend to do what seems right then. I do not consider myself or anyone else capable of deciding now what will be right then. As Hon. J. Ed. Leslie, of McKeesport, Pa., (our State Chairman) recently wrote me, "I don't think we should shout from the house-tops what we should do in 11)00. Keep educating, and adapt ourselves to the conditions that arise." This is my sentiment exact- It seems that this proposed dele gate conference will endeavor to supplant the regular Peoples Party organization in party authority. Whatever that conference may do will be considered authoritv v thosA identified with it and in sympathy with it. Those not identified with it. and those who deem such a confer ence unwise, will continue to con sider the action of the St. Lonis convention the highest party au thority. This will lead to an inevit able and unnecessary split. While local and informal conferences may be very helpful, and should be en couraged, the proposed National Delegate Conference at Nashville. July 4th, is a threatening danger to our partv integrity. I hone that those who have been instrumental in proposing it will prudently drop it. Kx-Senstor PelTor. Kditor of the Advocate, Topeka, Kan. Editor Nonconformist: There ought not to be any objection to the proposed conference at Nashville. The right of peaceful assembly is a right that free men will never sur render. In the multitude of the counsellors is safety. And if the Peoples Party is worth saving, it wonld seem that no harm can come from a couference among its friends. It is nonsense to charge as the par ty's enemies such of its members as meet to consider means best calcula ted to preserve its integrity. But the conference will have no authori ty to act or speak for the party. That authority was conferred, by the last National convention, on a committee, and the committee has not called or authorized this confer ence; hence, while the conference is in every way lawful and may work good results, it can represent only the persons then and there assem bled. Hon. John Darlf, ' ' Formerly ropulist Member of Congress, Fifth Kan. District. I see by the papers that some super-holy men, styling themselves "Middle-of-the-road Populists," have issued a call for a conference, or conspiracy, or something of that sort, to be held at Nashville, Tenn., on July 4th, 1897. Nobody objects, probably, at first sight, to that if things were as they seem. But are theyf Let us see. (1) These superlatively holy men desire to use the Populist organiza tion to forward their schemes, and to give them respectable standing with The common people. 1 do not think that that is right. It is taking our lightning to illustrate their thunder. It is theft. The last Pop ulist National convention thorough ly organized the party for official action, by the election of officerj to perform official acts, to direct the action of local organizations, and to call conventions, conferences and meetings of a national character. (2) The Populist National officers are supreme in their sphere ot ac tion, under the laws and instruc tions of the party. They should not obey the commands of any other or ganization, no matter how bright and dazzling the livery it wears or the name it bears. And, in my judg ment, Chairman Butler has shown both his wisdom and patriotism in refusing to call this conference on demand of a self-constituted clique, which is striving to become a rival and hostile organization. (3) Some of the backers of the movement bear names that have not been forgotten since the services they rendered the Republican party in the campaign of 189G Take the name of Vandervoort, for example. His meetings in Kansas last fall were attended mostly by Republt cans. And, in every way Republi cans showed themselves delighted with services he rendered them. If they did not pay him, he was. evi dently, unjustly treated Tnen take the case of Watson. VandervoOrt and his o-workers were uproarious for Tom Watson. And, so were the Republicans with lip praise. Any thing to divide the Popp, semet the spontaneous pol'cy of the entire crowd. Watson's politics w re mainly person!, against Sewall and for Watson, bewail was a banstr. That was bad. We all felt it to be so. Watson's chief political com panion and political advisor, wts the i residtntof the Brurswick Na tional bank, Georgia. That, of course, was not bd. Who ever said sof Nobody. Wbyl Because most men are broader and more liberal- minded than Mr. Watsm. Messrs. Washington, Jefferson, Henry, et al, were slave holders, yet they earnest ly contended for the rights of man kind. Tms proves that a man's principles and patriotism may some times reach uF. beyond his direct Dersonal interests. Mr. Watson, no doubt, will admit that even a bank president may sometimes be pa triotic and trustwortbj for example, Mr. Reed, of Brunswick, Qa Then, if tha bank nresident. why not the stockholder, sometimes. In mv ODinion. Mr. Watson is not broad and liberal enough, for a safe political leader. And. the other fel low, in my opinion is nnsafe and un reliable. The Nashville conference, in my judgment, is a conspiracy acainst tne Porulist party in the in terest of our enemies. And my be lief is positive that all good Popu- ... t r - lists snouia avoia laaing pari m nt STATE NORMAL AND INDUSTIAJL SCHCOU A Com m arte mailt Which OaH.iia.M m HMMfleU lBrldat Sou mt Th litcW daatm. The commencement exercises of the State Normal and 'Industrial School at (ireensboro were held last week, and were of such value and interest as to almost constitute an historical incident- This institution has grown to be an honor to the State that stands second to none. It is to be regretted that limited sDaee does not permit us to give, in de tail, a report of the proceedings. Among matters of interest was a memorial exercie in honor of Hon. S. M. Finger, late Superintendent of Public Instruction. Col. J. S. Carr. the wealthy and liberal philanthropist of Durham, aeuverea a spienaia oration on Dorothea Dix, the woman who I made herself famous by great work, I especially in the matter of securing Mate care for the insane. Among the many interesting in cidents was the presentation to the school by Miss Rogers, in behalf of the sophomore class, of a beautiful silk nag of Worth Carolina. Presi- dent Mclver accepted the token in a characteristically graceful speech. A spontaneous and beautiful sur- prise was added to the exercises bv a medal presented by Rev. J. L. M. Curry at the end of his scholarly ad-1 dress. He announced his intention without the slightest fore-knowledge I on the part of President Mclver. It was to Destow the medal upon the young woman who had been the most I faithful in her duties and who had made the greatest sacrifice in order has made it apparent to the Presi to procure her education. He asked I dent that peace upon the island is Dr. Mclver to designate some one to desired as the first step toward re whom he should give it. Al- storing a paralyzed commerce, and though Dr. Mclver had not the slightest intimation of this, he nn- hesitatingly announced that in his opinion, Miss Phoebe Pegram, of surry county, deserved it. 1 he long and hearty applause of the students - showed it to be most worthily bestowed. Dr. Curry then presented the medal in a short speech, full of splendid advice. Dr. Mclver then arose and said I tbat so far as he knew, Miss Pec- ram had never, during her entire ntire stay at school, failed to do, or at least faithfully attempt to do, her duty. On Tuesday the exercises were richly interesting. The programme for the day was: Annual address, Mr. Walter H. Pagp, of the Atlantic Monthly. Sub ject "The Forgotten Man." Awarding Diplomas, by President Mclver. Presentation of Bibles, by Rev. L. W. Crawford, D. D. Presentation of Constitutions, by Governor Daniel L. Russell. 8:30 p. m.

As soon as Commissioner Cal houn's report of the condition of af fairs in the island is received, which will be in about three weeks, unless he has received orders to delay it until after the tariff bill has been passed, and if it confirms the state ments made in the reports of Con sel General Lee, the President will address a note to the Spanish gov ernment suggesting that Cuba be al lowed to purchase her independence, The note will be friendly in its tone, 1 4- .

If Spain should refuse to enter tain the proposition, the President is fully determined to take more radical steps, even to the extent of declaring intervention. lie has dis cussed this matter with several of bis friends and advisers and would have taken more positive action ere this but for the appeal of Senator Hanna that recognition of the Cu ban question by the administration ould be disastrous to the commer cial and financial world. Thepeti- uon received by the cretarv of State from the leading commercial houses of the great cities, however, he will undoubtedly eive the Deti tion his careful consideration. There my be no further action until Mr Calhoun's report is received, but at that time some action on the part of rresident looking to the mde- pendence of Cuba through purchase otherwise is as certain as fate. There will be no consideration of the tariff bill in the Senate until to ere has been a vote on the resolu- tion recognizing the bellicrerencv of Cuba. Notice to this effect will be I a n ..... served upon Senator Aldrich when he returns. This is the most interesting r well as the most imnortant nf tha afttnal dlnT,ta ; u situation yesterday. Besides this fact. th ,r f a.tat. ;i.i ed another meeting of the Cabinet on the Cuban question and an after noon of the livelist debate that has been heard in the Senate this ses- sionsion. lhe principal speech was made by Senator Mason, of Illinois, and his remarks were of a character to excite the immense crowds in the galleries and upon the floor to a manifestation of the most enthnsi- . . astic applause. He made a most eloquent plea for Cuba, and at times was thrilhngly eloquent. That he caused laughter by side remarks more humorous than dignified is true; but this was more than atoned for by his earnestness and his sin- cerity His speech had the effect, if it had nothing else, of bringing the Cuban situation in the Senate to a climax Senator Morgan's bellisrerencv reso lution is now the regular order of business in the Senate, from which nosition it cannot be AnotA at. cept by a majority vote.

The possible result of that vote was a matter or much comment among the Senators yesterday. If the Democrats, the Populists and against taking up the tariff bill the latter will temporarily be sidetracked and Uuba will remain at the front.

I shall be in favor of keep ing the Cuban resolution before the Senate until we get a vote." Other silver Republicans spoke in the sami strain. Senator Lodge and Senator Galhnger are two straight out Re publicans who believe that a vote on the Cuban resolution will come be fore the consideration of the tariff bill. Sonator Gallinerer told Sena tor Hoar, in tha onnrea nt thn dahata yesterday afternoon, that the non disposition of the Cuban matter would work to the disadvantage of the tariff bill.

The Senate, in other words, passed fifty- two bills in one day. as eainst lfA) bills that were made laws by the legislature from January 1 to April 17. At this rate, heaven only knows la. a what laws may be turned ont he- tween Monday mornincr and Tues day midnight, when the law making "lhe innocent reader wants to know, are all of these bills which go through at the rate of one in four minirtes carefully read and consid ered!

The reader will be able to judge for himself as to the amount of de liberation invested in the law mak ing process when he re fl ects that the passage of a bill is supposed to in volvethe following procesf: Firtt readng of the bill, which may con isistoione to a dozen toiio page; second, discussion: third, roll call ot tne house, which is then supposed to be verified, and a second call of ab sentees; fourth, counting of the vote by the clerk and announcement of the result by the chair.

Sir: When a paper like yours, representing a hiarh moral standard takes a roaition acsinat the material interests of the State and puts its opposition on moral grounds, I am disposed to aak that you listen to a reply in behalf of the people of the State. The substance of your contention is that the State like an individual, owns most of the North Carolina Railroad and that the State leased it to the Southern, and having done so it has no right now to say that it has made a bad bargain and seek to annul the eon tract. Please bear in mind that the State did not mske any contract with the Southern Kailroad; the contract of the lease was made by the North Carolina Railroad Com nan v. Bnt it is true that the State stock was voted for the lease. The State can only act through agents. Now the State contends that its agents and Kinthrn aarA smllv . . f l-ti . i -1 . - ".j v . in this transactive, lz.il r ?: acted negligently and wantonly in performing their trust, that they permitted themselves to be grossly imposed upon by misrepresentations and false pretenses of the Southern Railroad Companj; that they made a contract which was void in law because it was not authoriztd by their PHI set PAL, the State; that they exceeded the delegation of pow I . - a - er intrnsied to lb em ir iht-ir nnn- cipal, the State and made an alien lation of its r-rooertv without its an.
