When we consider that the army
which we are awntohave in th'
Phillipine Islands will be twice as
argeas the whole standing army of
the United States ever was prior to
the last year or so, we can get an
idea not only of the task we have
before as in conquering the Fillipi
nos, but also of how far removed is
our present policy which necessitates
large standing army from any
thing which has heretofore confront
ed the Republic.
If we rely upon (len. Otis' dis
patches we are ltd to believe that he
holds the situation well in band; but
occasionally a dispatch escapes the
blue pencil and roaches us by the
way of Hong Kong which tells of
still greater difficulties before our
troops than has yet been encoun
tered. Mr. Root,' the new Secretary of
War, is preparing to pnsh the war
with more vigor than has been done
heretofore. His policy is to furnish
Qen. Otis with all the troops nece s
sary to put a speedy end to tbe war.
Such a consummation is devoutly
wished for by all, for even those who
The election of Judge Ja. C. Me-

Here is a fine example which North
Carolinians will not fail to follow;
and it teaches a lesson which the
framers of our present election law
would do well to learn: that political
liberty is as dear as religious liber
ty, and that Nrth Carolinians will
no more submit to an abridgment of
the one any more than they would of
the otlier.
WHY, TIIKV CIIANtiK.
Croker is converted, or at least
Croker Bays so. Before he sailed
tor England some week's ago, he
took pains to have it understood
that he was an imperialist, and would
oppose Bryan in I'JOO. A few days
ago he returntd and gives it out
that be is now an anti-impeiialist
and for Bryan in 1900. Ol course
this has set everybody to speculat
ing as to what has caused Croker's
Hop. Everybody admits there must
be a cause. "
The Charlotte Observer editorially
appoves the following Washington
Dispatch to the Philadelphia Record,
giving it as its opinion also that this
is more probably the cause than any
thing else:
" Probably Mr. Croker, like ex-Governor
Stone, of Missouri, and other
men who are supporting Mr. Bryan
unwillingly, believes ihat Mr. Bryan
will be defeated in the election, but
be may not consider this an unmixed
evil, since the Democratic hope is
for 1904, and by that time such
Democratic leaders want Mr. Bryan
eliminated.
This may or may not be true with
reference to Mr. Croker, but it is right
in line with what the Caucasian has
all along predicted that: gold Demo
crats would oppose Bryan in Con
vention unless there seemed no
chance of his election and in that
case they would support him- for
nomination in order to eliminate him
by defeat.
And certainly this is what the Ob
server would want done.
are anxious for tbe bloodshed and
disease incident to the war to cease,
no matter what the resulting rela
tion between the two countries may
be.
What would any citizen of North
Carolina think had the last legisla
ture passed a law liminnting rtlig
ions liberty in th State and permit
ting no worship except in a certain
church! Would it nvt be consideted
the greatest assumption of power 1
And yet this is exactly what the elec
tion law of the last legislature does
with reference to political liberty
And certainly one is dear as tbe, oih
er. The legislature passed this elec
tion law with view to making it
impossible for any, save the Demo
cratic machine and its followers to
ever have a voice in State govern
ment. Think over this and see if
yon nun figure it vat that this act o
theirs is less high handed than it
would be to pass a law miking the
Church of England, or any other
church the dominant one in North
Carolina.
Occasionally we see in the ol! par
ty press editorials and articles which
try to substantiate the statement
which is generally used for tLe head
ing of such articles, towil: The
Passing of Populism. The wish is
father to the thought. Never be
fore, since the doctrines of the Pro
ple's Party were first proclaimed,
have they been so generally bdieved
in as now. And it is not the pass
ing of what they term populism that
is causing the opponents of demo
cratic principles to spend space and
time in trying to prove their state
ment so much as it is the alarm with
which the increasing popularity of
Populism" is filling in them.
HOW "POPULISM IS PASSINF."
We congratulate the Waynesyille
Courier upon being ohe of the first
Democratic papers to come out in
favor of government ownership of
railroads. In a recent editorial after
citing the advantages accruing to
the people of other countries which
own their own railway systems
(which we publish elsewhere) the
Courier askr.
Who that Is informed of these facts,
that can be authenticated, would not
favor government ownership?
And then winds np with the fol
lowing very sensible statement:
Call It Popnlist doctrine if you want
to, but it is good doctrine all the same
and it is coming. If the railroads
continue forming themselves into
great grasping corporations and con
tinue their policy of discrimination in
rates and accommodations it will only
bring about tbe result the quicker.
The Courier is right. Th6 people
will soon force the question of gov
ernment ownership of railroads np-

At tho close of a communication
in your last issue, I promised to
give your readers, in this, a faith
ful narration of the action of the
Democratic party of North Carol i
na, iu respect to Negro Colonization
and of its very recent and emphat
ic condemnation of it, so far as the
same is known to the public, or to
myself.
To do this, I need only revert, to
events that are fresh in the memo
ry of men still living, and of a date
not older than May 20 1895. I refer
now to a Series of Resolution, for
mulated by myself and embodying
Jefferson's plan of Colonization, tha
were fully tiiacussed in a meeting
of the Democratic State Executiv
Committee, held In the Hall of the
House of Representatives on the
niirht of that day. The day itself
was not ill-chosen for the consider
ation of such a subject, it being the
occasion of unveiling our superb
Monument to the Lort.ederate Dead.
I should stalo that those Resolu
tions, had been laid before the Com
mittee on the 9th of April preced
ing, but in order to give time for
their fuller consideration, they
were postponed, on my own motion,
to the meeting that was to follow ;
and that in the mean time, type
written copies of them were mailed
by me to more than forty members
of that Committee, together with a
personal letter to each of them,
earnestly solioit.ingr his support.
And in what, farther, I shall say
ol the reception that was given, and
of the fate that befell those Reso
lutions, I shall violate no confi
dence, since the greatest publicity
was given them at the time, inas
much as the doors of the Commit
tee, on that particular night, were
thrown open, to any one, who could
show a certificate of belonging to
the motley est political party, that
was ever mustered under a single
banner.
It would require a pen far abler
than mine, to do full justice to the
personel, of so notable an assemb
lage as that of May 20th 1895. Suf
fice it to say, that it abounded in
men, of mark and likelihood, who
were fully commissioned to speak
with authority. First of all, the ed
Itors of the leaditg organs the Sir
Oracles of the party were there.

riKMroLl) MACCLKNXAND SIMMONS.
This is he, who has been described
an a strange and mysterious being,
with a stealthy tread, and a down
cast look, but this description,
protest, does him great injustice,
for 1 can testify that, ortener than
once, I have seen his eyes elevated
n the direction of a seat in the U.
S. Senate.
These are some of thoa High
Councillors who dominated th
meeting of May 20 1895; and if 1
have taken the trouble to preserve
their names, it is only because tht
major part of them, together with
others of only local celebrity, con
stituted at that time, the Mechan
ical Department of tho Democratic
party, and some of them are still Its
Master Machinists. Ana scarcely
one of them has lost, since then, the
smallest share of his influence in
tho councils of his party, while all
of them, with the single exception
which I have noted, were either
cold or hostile to any scheme of
Negro Colonization.
But to return to the Resolutions
themselves. Their avowed object
was to REORGANIZE the Demo
cratic party, J n such a way as to
make of It a new party, that should
be, not merely in name but in fact,
a White-Man's Party, and such as
should be built not upon the im
possible basis of White-Suffrage, or
the fluctuating basis of Whlte-Of-flce-holding,
but upon the granite
foundation of White Labor, which
is the only security for the other
two.
The first Resolution of the Series
declared for the Deportation of the
negro race, and all of them had that
one end in view. And all of them,
after the fullest debate, wero voted
down by majorities so largw that
no division wras called fcr. he sig-l
niflcanoe'of such a vote amid all
wie circumstances surrounding the
case the party had just been dis
astrously beaten could not be mis
taken, and could only be under
stood, as revealing a lixed pur
pose to keep the negro forever
among us, and to make ol mm,
hereafter, as heretofore, a political
stalking-horse, forgetting that such
a thing might yet become a hippo-
grifT that would carry its rider,
over a rougher road, and upon a
wilder chase than that of Mazeppa.
And fully satisfied as 1 was, and
am, that such was the invincible
determination of this party of Fale
JPreiUiice, there was nothing left
for me to do, but "to acquiesce in the
necessity which denounced our sep
aration," and to withdraw from an
association, to which 1 have since
elt no inclination to return.

Lexington, Ky., Aug. 16. The
anti Goebel Democrats met in con
vention here this afternoon and
unanimously nominated ex-Governor
John Young Brown for governor. It
was the largtst ' Democratic convpn-
tion ever held in Kentucky, with one
hundred counties represented by del

that tre bolting ticket would hna a

The resolutions adopted after de
claring that the nominees of the
Louisville convention were not the
choice of the Democrats of Kentucky,
that the nominations had been se
cured by fraud, and therefore were
not entitled to support, endorsed the
Chicago platform and recognized
Bryan as their leader and choice for
the Presidential nomination in 1900
The Kentucky election law, of
which Goebel, the regular Demo
cratic nominee was the author, and
after which the North Carolina elec
tion law is modelled, has played no
small part in arousinc such a. strong
.sentiment against Goebel . in the
Democratic party. Ex Gov. Brown
in accepting the nomination said:

PopuHat and Democrats ITuit Against
Repnblicaos Stat Ticket Divided.
Des Mones, la., Aug 16thThe
Popnlist and Democratic State Con
ventions were held here today and
nominated a full state ticket, with
candidates selected from both part
ies. The platform opposes trust etc,
and deprecates the war in Phillipines.
Cato Sells would have been nomi
nated for Governor by the Democrat,
bnt his record was -not agreeable to
the Populists, and in his plaee Fred
E. White was nominated. . : ;
Twenty Uvea Lost. "";
NoKFOLK, Va., Aug. -21. A spe
cial to the Virginian-Pilot from
Washington. N. C, says that the
storm played havoc on Ocracoke Isl
and, destroying thirty houses and
tro-churches, washing away the
Norfolk and Southern Railroad piers,
grounding several steamers and
schooners, wrecking smaller craft of
fishermen,' drowning not less than
twenty men, and all the horses and
cattle on the island. It was tbe
most destructive storm that section
has ever known. The island was
nnderwater three days. ; '
(io?rrnmnt Ownership of lttilroftls.
Wagnesville Courier.
The average passeDtr fire in the
German Empire, which has owned its
railways for more than fifty years, is
less than one and one-fifth cents per'
mile, and yet the statistics for the
yrar 1890 show a net profit of f 119,
159 147 to the government from
operating the roads. The Austro
Hungarian Empire carries passen
gers at one third of cent a mile,
and the work k so profitable that it
will not be many years before the
profit on the railroads will pay all
expenses of tbe government. In Now
Zealand th1 cost: of railway travel is
ab'uu one-ihird of a cent per mile.'
Who that is informed ot these
facts, that can bo authenticated,
would not favor government 'owner
ship. Call it Populist doctrine if you
want io, but is good doctrine all the
same and it is coming. If tho rail
roads continue forming themselves
into great grasping cor j orations and
continue their policy of discrimina
tion in rate accommodations it will
only bring about tbe result tne
quicker. .
Municipal Own.rship.
Perhaps the managers of street
car Hues would have more respect
for the rights of their employes if
they realized just what the strikes,
which incommode the public, will
lead to. Municipal ownership will
be tne result it street car managers
do not make a charge m their
tactics. In disensioe . tLe strikes
which ar now on iu Brooklyn and
Cleveland, the New York Jcurual
rightly says: .
'Imagine for a moment what
might happen, and certainly would
happen, if the postoffice were operat
ed by a private corporation. Some
day there would be a dispute about
wages or hours of work. A strike
woald follow. The 201,000 employes
in - the postal service would stop
work. If they were inclined to be
disorderly, all the police and soldiers
in the country could not keep them
under. '
"To a 8m all extent the people of
Brooklyn, and to a large extent the
people Cleveland, can' appreciate
the inconveniences of corporate con
trol of public utilities. In Cleveland
a strike on single street car system
has brought about absolute anarchy,
reduced a great eity to the- humilia
tion of living under martial law.
'If the street railroads had be
longed to the municipality there
would have ben' no strike end . no
otcaskn for ore. Tnere won d hve
been no need to talk abcut arbitra
tion, compukcry or voluLtaJy, then.

Good Fopuiittt Doctrine.
Knox county has votei to load
herself down with an additional
burden of $100,000 taxation to assist
in building a new rad from that
eity to Bristol. Before it cn be
built all the railroads of the south,
jnclndmg the Norfolk and Western,
will probably be consolidated into
one system and Knoxville will have
no competing road at last. The
solution of the railroad problem will
lie finally in government regulation
and not in competing lines. Chatta
