It even throw a up is hat in . testacy as -it contemplates; the brave '. heroic liUe Alabamian. In its evening edition it lateljg published an IsaTtorial headed, "Joseph Wheeler, i Soldier," We copy this:1. ' y "Surely there is no- more patriotic -officer in the army today than Joseph , Wheeler. It mq'st alwaysbe remem bered that when on the night of July 1 it was proposed to retire from San Juan riclge and occupy, a position thtft - could be defended with, less risk "to the t army, General Wheeler protested with such -vigor, that the plan was abruptly abandoned..

If -ou eliminate the negro vote for McKinley in m6, you wKl find that' Colonel Bryan received about 1,500,000 more vates than the Major received. I TSat is to ayj Bryan actually; received Pa million and a half majority of the white voters in the United States. That is an interesting fact. Bryan was over whelmingly the. choice of the. White Man's party in the United States; As before mentioned a change of hut 25,000 votes in seven ; states -would have made Bryan president. The gold democrats elected McKlnley. How it will be jn 1900 : is beyond; our; ken.' iThe- electoral college-secured McKinley hi3 place. Take Kentucky in 1S. It was the ne gro vote that gave the electoral vote to McKinley. It . was solid for 'the lit- tie fellow. The Houston Post, the lead- 4ng democratic newspaper in Texas, and ln able one, copies this from The 1 . riirfn '.TirVisf "There is not a particle of doubt that if it had not ibeenfor the negro vote McKinley would not, have carried Illi nois and Indiana without- that vote, even counting only the negroes who reside in those two states, and it was 'charge! tfiat the ' railroads carried ne? groes by the hundreds Into those two states to. vote the republican ticket; and, whether or not , this is true, the fact that Bryan received more votes in Illinois than ; were ever previously cast for any candidate is ood evidence of it, for it cannot be successfully, disput ed that the vote of Illinois was unna- turally lark" in 1896. toral votfjof Kentucky, linois McKinley could Indiana and II not have been fleeted." i Ho as McKinley was elected by the negro vote, he ;is. very thankful and gracious. ' Hence,- in reward for favors rendered, he appoints l a host of negro postmasters' ?and .negro other officials. all over the south, while particularly avoiding- $6 point a negro in the north. t He would not appoint a negro to the custom house, in New York or Chicago, in Philadelphia or . Boston for thou sands of. dollars. He would . not , treat New York or Ohio as he has treated North Carolina in the matter of postv masters, eic, for a dukedom. He would not "get there" in 1900. - MORMON POLYGAMY ACTIVE. While the' Mormons are flooding the south and other section with their. I baleful emissaries the Mormons 1 at home are still practicing1 vigorously aAd .undismayed theif old lustful garii' , of "much marrying" as Artumas Ward phrased it and in open defiance, of the law of our country. There are many hundreds of these vicious, demoralizing teachers going their rounds in the soutn. in rvortn Carolina there are quite forty atw.ork- sowing tares and cockles. Tbey have .over 500-at work in the several states.; A great many have . thought that Mormon polygamy was a thihg of the past. The fellows who go around prosolytingtot the gos pel of tncleantiess, will deny that polj-gamy is still the go in Utah. That state-entered the union with a consti tution absolutely "condemning and for bidding the practice of polyganiy.-l There: were' tens Of thousands Mormons whi had several , wives, each acr. cording tq ability' to provid for them. ' Did. they separate from. them, and Re turn to civilized life and monogamous practice? par from it." We learn, from the -report of- the Presbytery of Utah that "around the' seventy postoffices with, which it has 'touch, there .are 2,000 cases or. polygamy. , A polygamist, H.

Many reports are 0!t a disturbing character. "TTirice is he armed who hath '. his quarrel j.ust." There is talk already of negro plottings and threats F-ewarv ei.cmies of peace. 'The j.c-rst enemies of the coloffd people are not head -strong whites, but the , women and men of their race who are making threats, planning' revenge, plotting against the. public safety. Almost-every day some fool or devil incarnate is in vitingi.retafiation.

For th? last twentv-five vears he has resided at Norfolk, where- he w'as. very succesfuU Dr. Lacy, his dear, pastor writes of the fa'thful ri def from whicl we copy as follows: "Naturally modest and gentle, he was .fearless and unhesitating m ex pression arid advocacy of principle: conservativi in belief and practice, he still had a ind word and hearty sm- pathy for ejvery forward movement in a good ' cause. He was loyal to his pas tor, true t friends and unwearied in the service of his church, one of Scot land's noble gifts to the Church of the new countiry, Colonel Tait was made an elder at the. age of twenty-one and ws a member of the First church session ior i quarter oi a century. - r His best wbrk was his service as su perintendent of the First church Sun day-school for twertty-four years.

The corn crop' of the south was 114,- 000,000 bushels in excess of last year. North Carolina produced 34,170,000 bushels, (guessed at) an increase of more than ,500,000 bushels.

Because The Messenger never seeks office it is no reason why it should not favor worthy and faithful newspaper men receiyjing office. Mr. Henry T.

It is ah excellent thing when yrou write to (know what you are writing about. The north fired its guns at the south and they only ."knocked the owners oyer." Rev.. Charles E. Chichester, a faith ful Presbyterian minister of Charles ton, S. Cj, died recently aged 64 years; He was I captain of artillery in the confederate army, fought very gal lantly and to the close. He loved the gray and its cause. It was his request that he uniform; be buried in his confederate: and an artillery salute be fired over his grave. ' - ; Accordirig to an article in The Lon don British Weekly, Rev. John . Wat son, ("tan Maclaren") is "a great 'preacher . He recently held forth . in great force in LoYidon." Among many praises it says: "Extracts and summaries could not givs-thej faintest Tdea of the dramatic force arid 'fire with which he spoke. From bejginning to end we felt we were. listening to, one 01 ine greatest- orators of the day.
