FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26. 1897. "WHAT WILL THE GOVERNOR DO ? People who observe the signs of the times and study passing events are interested in what is going on In the; city of Raleigh and among the men who sit in the legislative halls. There is the blood in the sky! The signs look warlike. The black flag floats from the republican-pop flag-staff. "Cuss words" are flying around. "The brazen trumpet brays its thrilling notes and the rude clash of hostile arms speaks fearful prophecy of coming trouble, And what is it all about ?The quarrel between , the governor and the rad-pop combination of trough treaders is still on- and "waxes hotter. The pronuncia- mento of the rad leaders is" out and It is war to the knife unless Russell sur renders. And all this recent "rucus' is all because the governor will not agree to appoint the great and hungry Henry to a criminal court judgeship. He would have been against the gang mow if the democrats had given, him office. What a circus! ; The whole destiny of Nortb Carolina hangs 'on that peg the appointment of : office-seeking Henry to a place. The future of the republican party Is made ; to depend upon the Judgeship for a per-, ennial office-seeker. If Russell does not yield to this demand then his of- flcial neck must be broken. War must be made upon him, he must be read ' out of the party, he must be turned down and disregarded and despised un less he shall give up his own right of selection and obey the legislative boss es. He has no rights, and if he stub bornly maintains what he supposes verily to be his right to name, 4ie must be shorn of his power, he must be clipped asto his wings and warred upon. Was there ever before such mighty presumption, such top-lofty attempt at bossing and circumscrib- ing? What will Governor Russell do about it? Will he lower his crest, take down bis flag, cry peccavi! seek of the great jnen who boss the combine a restora tion ef favor, and get down in the dirt and crawl on his belly to 4he feet of these kings of the hour? Is that Gov ernor Russell's style? " Has he lost his independence, his tenacity of will, his confidence in himself? Will he turn timeserVerand sychoppant and kiss the smiting hand and hug the dictating .tyrants? It is a test hour. It is a critical mo ment. If he yields he is lost. . No more will they regard him or seek his opinion and favor.- They will com mand. What will he do? Or will he bravely 'stand by his rights, and de rfiantly tell the bosses . "Back tjo the struggle baffled in the strife. ' War, war is still the cry, war . even to the knife!" Will he fight or ignorhiniously sur render? The eyes of the state are on Biim now. . HOME T:OLKS. It is to be hoped that the infamous 3ob will have its bottom knocked out tin the senate, that aims to turn over the town of.Newbern, historic and ven erable, to the negroes, to be despoiled by them for four long years. It is most -rascally. Putting 4,000 white people iunder the complete control of 6,000 "savages." Is there any lower deptlf of infamy in legislation than that? , A large number of the legislators left business for a trip to Newbern- to see the fair. Will fhey draw pay for the time (two days) they are 'absent, stopping the wheels until their return? Keep your eye on these pleasure seek ers arid business regulators-and see if they bave the meanness to charge the people for their frolic. They will do to watch in this and other matters con cerning the people. INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE IN CONGRESS. , Did the republican party mean what it said in its platform of 1896, as to bimetallism by international agree ment? If it. did it should not try to fiodge' in the congress as many, republi cans are in he matter of taking steps to bring about such a conference. Some of the hedgers say that nothing should be done until McKinley Is seated. But he accepted, the platform and, is as much committed to its support as any other member of his party. The house committee on coinage have agreed to report the senate international confer ence bill. They will urge its prompt passage in view of the explicit, straightforward, and complete lan guage of the last republican platform. While a conference is the customary method of procedure, the house com mittee thinks ' there are other ways equally or more effective. Diplomatic negotiations and treaty stipulations may be resorted to preliminary or sub sequent to such conference,: or in lieu of it, as circumstances seeem - to re - quire. - - ; ( , ' : The incoming executive, it is stated by the committee, has frankly and un equivocally stated that he will employ all proper means to promote an inter national agreement, and the committee ' believes that he should be aided in the performance of this duty by promptly vesting in him full and explicit power to use every appropriate means to pro mote an international agreement. That looks like business- Push on the, ball. Let her roll! " It is certain that Senator Chandler is in earnest in his advocacy of an inter national settlement. He means to push the! matter in the senate. His speech was decidedly bold and able. His very boldness is an offence to the more se cretive and backward wing of the par ty. Chandler advocates his resolution introduced in the senate; early in Feb ruary. It is well to reproduce It here that the readers of The Messenger may see what the New Hampshire republi can senator favors: "Resolved, That-it is the sense of the RPnate that the United States should not permanently acquiesce in "the single gold standard; and that the efforts of the government m an its Drancnes should be steadily 'directed to secure and maintain the use of silver, as well as told, as standard money, with the free coinage of both, under a system of bimetallism to be established through international agreement, or with such safeguards of legislation as will ensure the parity In value of the two metals at a fixed ratio, furnish & sufficient- volume of -. metallic money. and give immunity to the world of trade from violent fluctuations "in ex change." V ' 7 This la the resolution that has stirred the bile of the Near Ydr k Evening Post, the British organ of gold standard ln- perpetuity. Chandler raked with hia guns some of. the hedgers "and strad dlers and deserters in his own party. H Intimated clearly that there .were those who were practicing a deception now. He told his party that the "re publican bimetallists saved the 'election of McKinley and Hobart. , It would not have been thus carried if the republi can party, had adopted a money plank similar 1o that of the Indianapolis con vention. While pronouncing . against lmmedlajte free, coinage of silver with out an international agreement, the re publican party declared.by adding con cerning bimetallism six potent words. 'which we pledge- ourselves to promote,' that It would equally oppose s perma nent; acquiescence in gold monometa.1 llsm." This party, therefore, stands rec ognizing the evil consequences which have come from the reduction of the values of the world's property, pro claiming that the cause is the demon etization of silver, and declaring that the remedy is the re-establishment of bimetallism. The reat political ques tion of the future, therefor, is. Shall this be pledge be kept?" We notice that Senator Wolcott pro f esses to have been encouraged by. his mission to Europe. Such reports as we have seen concerning his visit have not been Illuminative and have not giv en assurance of success. At any rate.it is reported that England's consent and Initiative are necessary. If so.then there will be no international agreement or convention. The democratic conten tion that this country is too great to be dependent on England will be made stronger. The, United States declared their independence of Great Britain inJ July 1776. A PRACTICAL LESSON IN THE STEEL TRUST. The Messenger has already called at tention to the collapse of the rascally steel trust and the swift reduction of prices. It is a good object lesson as. to the workings of a protective tariff, and the schemes for plundering the peo ple under a combine known as a trust. The price of steel rails has been at times very high. Years ago their price was enormous pillaging by wholesale. Even last year the price of the trust was $28 per ton. At the beginning of 1897, the price was reduced to $25; The great steel producing companies had all entered into this very nice arrange ment for their own profit and to the injury and oppression of all railroad purchasers. The prices thus fixed compelled purchase at the price named or to stop building and repairing. Un fortunately for the conspirators against the railroads times-were so out of joint and earnings so low no extravagance in price could be met and so purchasa ses had to jstop all together or to be greatly reduced in amount. That was the reacting blow the reutrn of the thrown boomerang upon the patesj of the steel trust fellows. The home mar ket was so reduced as to threaten bus iness stagnation. What followed is thus given in the Philadelphia Amer ican, ablest of republican economic i journals: "But there was not a market broad enough to go around among the steel rail mills. So the members of the steel pool became dissatisfied, and a secret cutting of prices set in. Whether one of the smaller mills or the Carnegie Company or the Illinois Steel Company started this cut is not quite clear. But that the Carnegie Company was pre pared for such a cut cannot be doubted As soon as the other steel companies seemed likely to secure large orders, consequent on secret cuts in prices, the Carnegie Company broke the pool and announced its; intention to cutjthe price of rails below" anyone else. As a result the price of rails tumbled from 25 a ton in Pittsburg down to $15, a fall in the price of rails compared with the pool price of last year of-$13 a ton. "Now, it is clear that, ii rails can be produced at $15 a ton.the profits of pro duction at the price maintained by the old pool were enormous. Such a combi nation is clearly detrimental of general interests, and- this combination was sheltered behind, a tariff duty of nearly $8 a ton. Recent developments seem to show that this protection was not needed; it certainly was not needed if rails can be produced at- $15 a ton, and we are assured the cost of producing rails to the Carnegie Company is but $12 a ton. Apparently, then, this tariff protection was availed of by the pool to protect monopoly." What better object lesson than that could you desire? If you had a class Of students in political economy, and the lesson was protection what, better example of Imposition and wrong doing would you ask for under the form of 'a tariff tax for the benefit of a rich -glass than that given in the scoundrelly robber system - for the enrichment of the steel trust? Here people have been forced by a villainous conspiracy to pay $28 a ton, then $25, a ton, when it is plain that steel rails can be profitably produced and sold at $15 a ton. The rascals were actually gouging tne peo ple interested in railways out of $13, in every ton purchased. The party, be itl democratic or be it republican, that levies, a tax for a special class upon the people of a country is guilty of a great wrong is - party to an iniquity. The democratic tariff, we believe, levies a tax upon the people of $8 a ton for a set of sharpers and oppressors who can make steel rails at $13 less than the price they sold at: Can an honest, Just man who1 acts upon the law of Heaven doing upto others as you would beJ done by ever favor a protective tariff tax ? It is immoral. It is unconstitu tional, (as a republican "supreme court of the United States has decided) it. is oppressive. The Philadelphia American, is a pro tective journal, but it sees the iniqui tous abuses and fails not to say: "The steel manufacturers, after such a misuse" of the protective system, canr not fairly expect continied tariff pro tection. The protective system was not made to shelter monopolies, and when duties have been so used they must be cut off. If they are not, the protec tive system will be discredited and fall to the ground." Now what is true of the steel trust is true of other, manufacturers. Some of our readers will remember the illus tration we have given more than once, of the United States army engineer who had charge of the survey in South America for an international railroad some three years ago. He had a sur veying party large enough to conduct two routes at the same time. Before leaving New York, he states in his re port, he purchased a full outfit for the corps of guns, pistols, surveying instru ments, axes, picks, etc. The govern ment. was the purchaser. When he had reached a large city in South America before beginning work, he saw great hardware stores representing England, Gertoanjjand the United States. There they were in full rivalry the Ameri cans withno tariff to protect them willing and anxious to offer - their goods as" low or lower than Germany or England. The army officer says he found all of the goods he had purchas ed in New York the same manufac tiirp. for sale, and at 20 ner .cent, less than be had paid in NewV""- "Vv fter . going 4,000 miles he said he found that he, could have bought them at 20 per cent., less,' saving also the transporta tion. Nothing , but man's greed f and selfishness and inherent meanness and depravity ever induces him to favor a robber systeni of taxation. SNAPS. There is not much prosperity on hand yet. In January the rauroaa earnings showed a loss of eight per cent Jcha Hopkins' university, a great honor to America, has pessed its twen- tyAnst year. It Is blessing to the country and long ago asserted Its right to live. ! British rule in India 'has been,, dis astrous as a whole in the last aecaae or so. India has fared badly, and is In debted to England in the great sum of $80,000,000. ! So the Connecticut legislature decided that it had no welcome for William J. Bryan. The solons have no welcome for light and truth. "Ephriam is wed 4 ded to his idols. Let him alone." Bryan still lives. . It would be a good idea if the muni cipal government of towns waul sub scribe to a copy of some sanitary or engineering weekly. The New! York "Engineering Record" answers excel lently. It is published every Saturday at $5 a. year. A tax pn the people is asked for "to protect" ' certain home American in dustries. Read this from the New York Tribune, of (Monday last: es semer pig was more than $2 lower at Pittsbutg than in English marketsiand steel rails at $17.50 were about $5 low er." i " A great flood in the Kanawha river has put three fourths of Charleston, (West Virginia) under water. Thou sands of people have been rendered homeless. -Many are without food. The water is four feet deep in the capital yard. It is a. poor place for a town. Reports from up the Kanawha and Elk shows a ; tremendous loss of prop erty. A dozen coal tipples have floated down the Kanawha. The Chesapeake afid Ohio, Norfolk and Western, and Kanawha and Michigan railroads are seriously damaged in that section. There is a snarl in the congress be- wteen -the wool growers and manufac turers. The latter cannot get their robber protection they ask, except by concessions to their wool gatherers. Who are very hungry and exacting. The fleeced are not the. sheep, ' but the people. In twenty-four years the United States treasury claims that the per capita circulation has increased $2.67. The population has increased in the same time quite 25,000,000. But there is really no such circulation as $24.03 per head. There is probably not half of this. Figures do lie. The old cry is being heard again in the south; of too much cotton produc tion. This occurs each year with the same result. The farmers continue the old way of growing all they can. They like the fun of making cotton at five or six cents. You may talk on but the Overproduction will be repeated, unless crops are blighted. It will be a mistake to put letters at one cent. The - post office department is running now at an actual loss of more than $11,000,000. Keep the tax at two cents and amend the Loud bill as to certain changes in the second class. Make the department self-sustaining. That is common sense. When a fellow of low degree like Mark Hanna, gets into the United States senate, the culmination of the farcical seems to bave been reached. Perhaps he is no more corrupt than some others in his party. He j may prove to be "hail fellow, well jmet," with certain republicans of "the ba ser, sort" who are confederates for the country's dishonor and injury.

We suppose1 that every North Caro linian of ordinary intelligence by this time is awake to the necessity and im portance of having better country roads. There is no room ndw in this state or in the south for Rip Van Win kles. The south' is not fast asleep as some northern man wrote not i long since to the-Baltimore Manufacturers' Record of this great section. He fell into the old ruts of lying so common in the north when the south is involv ed. The south needs and must j have good roads. ".Enough has been publish ed in the south on this subject to awaken a profound interest. I You might conclude that the north had built its good roads long ago, but this is a mistake. It is only in places that good roads have been constructed. But a small part of the north have built such improved roads. So if failing were is any evidence of being asleep, the north is well nigh as bad off as the south is. The New York legislature has had good roads in hand during its present- session. What .has been done we are not informed. That state is behind hand much in respect of such roads. There was a bill introduced in January looking to an improved sys tem of roads, appropriating a half mil lion thereto, and providing the board to devise the system necessary. For this important commission $10,000 were appropriated. '.!!'. Massachusetts ', Is . ahead jin good roads as in some other things cotton mills, expenditures for education, etc. For some years it has been working steadily in improving its roads. We learn that during 1896 it expended $800, 000, on its highways, increasing the improvements, from eighty-nine to 130 miles, this work tbeing done on short sections in many localities, for the sake of educating as many people as possible to appreciate its value. --Little; Connecticut has taken also to Most Torturing, Disfiguring, Humiliating Of Itching, burning, bleeding, scaly akin and scalp humors is instantly relieved hy a warm bath with Cuticura Soap, a single application of Coticuba (oint ment), the great skin cure, and a full dose of Cuticora Resolvent, greatest of blood punnets and humor cores.

The state helps the towns, the latter contribu ting liberally. The Baltimore Manu facturers' Record' says . of the two States; "In both states it is the co-operation of the people, through their town and county organizations,, with the state commissioners that is giving the idea of genuine road improvements increas ing popularity. The people . find by their use that their benefits far exceed then- cost, and more than this, the citizens of every locality are eager to have as good highways as their neigh bors." Some years ago In trying to write up this subject of good roads, we gave some particulars as to road building. by the Romans, who were the greatest road builders this world has seen.- Roads they constructed from 1800 to 2000 years ago are still In comparative condition. The great : Irish road build er, Macadam, did a good thing for the world in his plan of constructing high ways. The thing for the south to do Is to find out the best' way of con struction, and then how to carry out the plan with best economy, but look ing to sure results. Substantial roads are needed Such roads will be worth millions annually to North Carolina. The saying to vehicles, the ability of horses to haul twice or three times as t much as is hauled over the muddy roads now, the gain in' time, the in creased value of property, the conven ience and comfort of. travelers, the great advantage to horses these are some of the considerations that enter into this important question.

Another important ! discovery is that of a new grain, a mongrel plant devel oped from wheat and rye, which is said to combine the most ( valuable qualities of these two grains and to be much more productive. The flour made of this new grain is represented to be of most superior quality and to be mope nutritious than the finest wheat flour. It is expected that the new plant will prove a most important factor, in the production of breadstuff's. Burlington Hawk-Eye. Judge Seymour's Successor Appointed. Washington, February 25.
