They would gladly stop, or rather, they are sorry they ever be- The Shely Highlander is surely a oorneuseur of words. It calls Jose phus' head-piece "the shriveled think tank which is a disgrace to the State." Whee-e-e! Governor Kitchin's numerous par dons are now explained. He says only Republicans are in the pen now, the inference is quite natural those many, many pardons were exclusive ly Democratic. The Democratic officials have de clared that tin plates and cups are good enough for the old soldiers. They must think they are all Repub licans at the Soldiers' Home. The News and Observer says of the Cooley-Pou debate at Siler City: "Cooley had nobody to meet." Well, now, we didn't have a very high opin ion of Mr. Pou ourselves, but we would not have said quite that. "A lady fainted and a hurried search of the Capitol Building failed to locate any whiskey," says a news dispatch. But did the search locate that "lost" report on the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad scandal? Democratic papers are making much of the statement that the bet ting odds are 10 to 8 on Dix, Demo cratic candidate for governor of New York. If we recall aright the betting odds on the recent Mr. Jeffries, late of Reno, were two to one. Governor Kitchin is invited to make the address of welcome to the Home-Comers. His subject may pos sibly be "Cuss Butler," "Dern Daniels," or "How Many Convicts I Pardoned and Why." It's a safe bet it won't be "The Trusts and How I Bust 'Em. Simmons and Overman should have agreed on their explanations for opposing investigating the high cost of living.

Lisbon, Oct. 6. Napoleon's fam ous expression, "The house of Bra ganza has ceased to reign," has be come a reality and in place of the dethroned Manuel sits a plain man of the people, the provisional president Qf newcst born Republic, that of Portugal. The uprising, while long expected, was in a measure, suddenly accom plished. Ever since the public as sassination of King Carlos and his older son, and the wounding of the now deposed king, Manuel, the fires of revolution have fiercely smoulder ed. The king and the queen mother, widow of the murdered monarch, were openly and brazenly Insulted hv tVin nonnlA The royal family Hv- J f - "t ed in hourly dread of a violent death, c" " , J . . break was the shooting of Professor Bombardo, one of the republican) leaders, by an officer of the king's guard. The people rose by thousands and stormed the royal palace. For some days there was a fear that the king had been killed, but he suc ceeded in reaching Gibraltar on the royal yacht, where he was given shelter and aid by the British com-; mander there. The queen mother ' was with him, but they were pennl- i less and without even clothing, so ! hasty bad been their flight. The rioting continued in the city. The bitter feelings of the people against the Catholic religious orders found opportunity to give vent and convents, monasteries and churches were raided and burned. Priests and friars were openly hunted and shot down and it was with difficulty that the provisional government, of which Dr. Thephile Braga is president, suc- 1 ceeded in restoring order. j j The new government has taken j ! hold with firm hands. The royal i 1 family are declared exiles, but their ; property will be saved to them. An ; election to form a constitution will shortly be held. Little doubt is ex- pressed that the great nations will ' soon recognize the Infant republic, as ; the flight of the king and his subse- j quent remark that he bowed to the ' will of the people, precludes any hope of the re-establishment of the mon archy. The people of Spain have caught the infection and there is reason to expect that the wave of republican ism will sweep that kingdom into re publican hands as well. ROOSEVELT FLIES. The Colonel Goes Up on a Wright Areoplane and Enjoys the Sen sation. St. Louis, October 11. Theodore Roosevelt made an aeroplane flight as the passenger of Archibald Hox sey, and said it was the finest sensa tion he ever had experienced. He traveled two times around the avia tion field at Kinloch Park in three minutes and thirty seconds. He waved his hand at the thousands of spectators, much to the discomfiture of the aviator, who feared that the Colonel might hit a controlling cord. When the machine alighted easily a few feet from the starting place, a mighty shout of applause went up. Hoxsey, a Wright aviator, said that Mr. Roosevelt made a good passen ger, except that he enjoyed the trip so much that Hoxsey was afraid the Colonel would fall out -or interfere with the engine, which was roaring at his side. The colonel waved his hands at the crowd so vigorously that Hoxsey called out to him: "Keep your hands on the rail, Col onel." Colonel Roosevelt, who had for gotten to hold himself In, waved his hands once more and then obeyed orders. The Colonel's flight was a surprise to everybody. Although he had been invited to go, no one had the least idea that he would do so, and he himaelf did not decide to fly nutil the moment before he stepped into the machine. The Caucasian from now until after the election, in clubs of ten or more, for only ten cents each. - I Reckon- - 1 mThTO? ''mf ' ! s.2'oJc A STINGING REBUKE Chairman Morehead Makes Caustic Reply to Speech of Ex-Go v. Aycock. Ridiculous Statement that a Bond Syndicate Financially Aids Repub licans Bonds Could Xot Be Paid Without Submitting Question to the People Sarcastic Suggestion That Idea was Inspired by Such a Proposal Being Submitted to the Democrats. The attention of Chairman John M. Morehead being called to alleged utterances of former Governor Chas. B. Aycock, in which the Republican party is falsely charged with a "dick er" with the so-called "carpet bag" bond syndicate, comes back with a dienified. albeit severe, refutal of; of the charge. Chairman Morehead points out the' utter absurdity of the false charge and shows the impossibility, under the constitution, of any legislature, Republican or Democratic, authoriz ing the payment of the bonds without first submitting the question to the people. The chairman also calls the ex governor's business sense to atten tion, by showing that even if such an attempt be made, the overtures would more likely be made to the dominant Democratic party than to the minority. He gives the ex-governor the ben efit of the doubt and expresses the hope that he has been misquoted by a certain element of the Democratic press who are noted more for the breach of the truth than in Its ob servence. The letter is as follows: "Hon. C. B. Aycock, Goldsboro, N. C. "Dear Sir: I write to ask If the newspapers are correct in accrediting to you the statement that the Re publican party is listening with favor to propositions looking to the collec tion of the carpet-bag bonds and that big contributions from these bond holders are being made to the Re publican campaign fund in this State. "If the newspaper version of your remarks is correct, I wish to most emphatically and unequivocally de nounce the statement that the Re publican party entertains any idea whatever looking toward any at tempt to collect these bonds as abso lutely unwarranted. "You are, of course, aware that the provision of Section 6, Article I THE "CRIME" OF BUTLERISM. of the Constitution of the State ex pressly prohibits the payment direct ly or Indirectly of any of the bonds referred to 'unless the proposing to pay the same shall have first been submitted to the people and by them ratified by the vote of a majority of all the qualified voters of the State at a regular election held for that pur pose.' "In the face of this constitutional inhibition, howr can it be reasonably contended that any political party by legislative control or authority can bring about the payment of these constitutionally repudiated bonds? "As to the assertion that the hold ers of these fraudulent bonds are i lending aid and comfort to the Re publican party in the shape of con tributions to the party's campaign fund, it is utterly untrue. "I cannot conceive how such an idea originated, unless, perchance, the proposition has formerly been submitted by these bondholders to the Democrats, which would be a much more reasonable business prop osition from their standpoint than an effort on their part to do business with a legislative minority. "I am constrained to believe that the papers have misrepresented you, because from my estimate of your character as a man and an honored citizen of the State, I am loath to be lieve that you would be a party to such a misrepresentation of facts, or that you would allow yourself to be driven by the extremities of the Dem ocratlc party in this State to resort to those methods of villlficatlon and misrepresentation so habitual to and characteristic of the organ of your party. In conclusion, may I appeal to your sense of fairness and honesty, both of which I believe you embody to the fullest extent, and ask that if you made the statements you sub stantiate them, or If, as I believe, you did not. make them, join me in removing this slur upon your reputa tion as a man of honor, who would decline to resort to such methods, re gardless of the dangers that beset Democratic supremacy in North Car olina at this juncture. "Yours very truly, "JOHN M. MOREHEAD, "Chairman." Prisoners Kill Officials. Willemstadt, Island of Curacao, Oct. 9. The American steamship Merida, which has arrived here from Maracaibo, brings news of a revolt In San Carlos prison, near Maracaibo. The prisoners burned the prison and killed several officials. Including the warden, who was a brother of Presi dent "Gomez. All the prisoners are said to he at large.
