Says an exchange: Prompt trials,
prompt conviction and punishment,
or prompt acquittal, are the surest
wavs to in. -pi re respect for the law
and confidence, in tin? courts, and
would be one of the most effective
ways to deprive Judge Lynch of his
occupation.
The New York Evening Past thinks
that "if more Republican Senators
from Northern States had been born
in the South, and revisited their old
homes, it is safe that the appoint
ment of negro postmasters would
have received less support from the
party." No doubt of it.
Senatok Hutler, in presenting a
resolution of the North Carolina
Legislature for the election of Sen
ators by vote of the people, called
attention to this being the twenty
fourth Legislature to adopt such a
resolution, and said that a con
stitutional amendment ought to be
at once adopted, citing the several
existing deadlocks and scandal- in
legislatures as an argument in its
favor.
Within the last week, Mr. McKinley
has been personally harshly criticised
in both House ami Senate, and in
each body one of his critics was a
Republican. In the House, Repre
sentatives Jerry Simpson, and John
son, of Ind., jumped, on him for bow
ing to public opinion, right or wrong;
and in the Senate, Senators Gorman
and Hoar gave him fits for declining
to furnish the Senate with copies of
the instructions given to the Peace
Commissioners.
The historian of the future, if he
be honest, says some writer, will be
in duty bound to refer to the last
third of the nineteenth century, in
the United States, as the '-bond-age,"
for it was during those years that the
money changers acquired, by bribery,
complete control in this boasted land
of the free. The great "financial
deal" they made was in buying
Grant to become the tool of the gang,
ami forsake the people and they,
the shvlocks, have worked the same
deal with every President since that
time. But the beginning of the next
centurv will, we trust, find the peo
ple turning over a new leaf and
once more assuming the management
of their affairs.
The country papers are the palladi
ums of our liberty, declares a recent
writer. And he undertakes to prove
the correctness of the assertion in
this wise:
The- "country paper," as the
county weekly is generally called, is
alxuit the only means left to preserve
the s-park of liberty in this country.
There is not a metrojHlitan paper in
the United States, we care not what
political party it pretends to atliliate
with, but what is edited and conduct
ed entirely and exclusively on the
toad eating plan. They fawn and
flutter around the tainted, tinseled
and glittering scum that pose as
"sawciety" leaders and bend the
pregnant hinges of the knee to those
in high positions of trust but never
a criticism do they have to offer when
not only severe criticism, but censure
and exposure of their corrupt acts are
due to the public. The big papers
are all run on the policy plan and
"supported by the same prop."
Senatok Gorman has never posed
as an alarmist, but he never fears to
speak the truth because it may be
alarming. Just before the Senate
passed the regular pension appro
priation bill, which carries $145,000.
000, Mr. Gorman made a speech call
ing attention to the fact that although
it was estimated that the war with
Spain would add 50,000 names to the
pension roll unless our troops were
recalled from the tropics before the
sickly season, no provision whatever
had been made in the bill for the in
crease. Mr. Gorman concluded with
this significant prediction: "Within
three years from this date the pen
sion roll will amount to J1C5.000.000.
If you add to that the cost of main
taining your army (one thousand
dollars a man), the American repub
lic will, in the year 1900, expend
more for its army and pensioners
than any other nation on the face of
the earth. That is a fact which the
American people will have to face,
and they ought to know now in ad
vance what is coming to them, if the
schemes and projects which are being
forced upon us are carried out."

LINNEY, THE LIAR.
What an awful liar that fellow 11.
Z. Linney, Republican Congressman
from the Lightli North Carolina dis
trict must be; am! what a sorry fellow
to slander his State as he does. He
is om of a kind if not akin to the evil
bird that befouls its own nest. In a
speech he made last week in ad
vocacy of the army reorganization
bill, he is quoted as follows:
"He thought it wise to organize
and enlarge t lie standing army. We
needed trained troops. The wars of
the future would be brief. He be
lieved if both North and South had
had trained armies the Civil war
would have been wound up in a few
months. He opposed the annexation
of the Philippines. It would raise
another race issue. The present race
problem in this country had cost
more lives in North Carolina at the
State election than the war with
Spain. Why court another and more
vexing race problem?"
Was ever a more deliberate false
hood uttered than that embraced in
the next to the last -eiitence? Not
even the negro Manly, in his notori
ous editorial, surpassed that for
reckless regard of the truth.

It it undersood at Washington that
Gen. Otis reports expecting the in
surgents to force an issue, and if this
should be so, the result cannot be
foreseen. Manila itself, and not
Iloilo, as might at first be supposed,
is regarded now as the danger point.
A dispatch from Manila says it is
estimated that there are fully 30,000
Filipinos under arms, and it is said
tli ere are nearly 50 Maxim guns at
Malolos, some of them having been
recently acquired. Filipino military
authorities say they are convinced
that the Americans will not be able
to work effectually outside of Manila
in the event of hostilities, hence they
feel confident of the future. Ex

A Washington letter says: A sen
sational speech against the Hull bill
for the increase of the regular army,
was made in the House by Represen
tative Johnson, of Indiana, a Repub
lican. He said of Mr. McKinley: "If
William McKinley ever changes his
policy regarding the Philippines he
will bend to the weight of popular
opinion, to which he bows, right or
wrong." Identically the same senti
ment, in slightly different words, had
been expressed the day before by
Jerry Simpson. Being interrupted
by applause from the Democratic
side. Air. Johnson asked that it be not
repeated until he had finished, when
Representative Henderson, of Iowa,
sneering! v remarked: "You ought to
be able to stand Democratic ap

son retorted: "I am ready to stand
the applause of broadmii'.iled, honest
men everywhere, just as I am ready
to stand the criticism of liarrowmind

treaty of peace, Air. Johnson said:

Dangers of the Grip.
The greatest danger from La Grippe is of
its resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable
care is used, however, and Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy taken, all danger will he
avoided. Among the tens of thousands
who have used this remedy for la grippe
we have yet to learn of a single case having
resulted in pneumonia which shows conclu
sively that this remedy is a certain preven
tive of that dangerous disease. It will cure
la grippe in less time than any other treat
ment. It is pleasant and sale to take. For

THE SEABOARD AIR LINE
And Its Progressive Management A
Wise Hove Jlade When the Services I
of nr. E. St. John Were Secured '
. . . . . . t
Jn Appreciative vrntis rroni a
New England Newspaper.
Perhaps at no period in its history
has the South attracted more atten
tion from Northern editors and
writers of prominence, from capital
ists and home-seekers, and others in
terested in its resources and devel
opment and the betterment of their
own condition than at present. New
forces have been set in motion and
work is developing along new lines.
An important factor in this new
growth and development of the coun
try traversed by and tributary to it
is the Seaboard Air Line under its
present wise, liberal and progressive
management. The work it has done
within the past few years is inestima
ble the benefits it has brought this
portion of the South incalculable.
And to Air. K. St. John, Vice-President
and General Alanager of the Sea
board Air Line, too much credit can
not be given. Appreciating this fact
as we do it is with pleasure that the
following editorial article from the
Cambridge (Mass.) Daily Press is here
reproduced. Writing of the fortunate
stroke of the owners of the Seaboard
Air Line in securing the services of
Air. St. John, whom they elected
Vice-President and General Manager
about four vears ago, our New Eng
land contemporary takes occasion to
say some very kind and appreciative
things about the South as well as
timely and complimentary ones of
Air. St. John and the great railway
system with which he is connected.
Air. St. John has certainly done a
great deal for the people located
along the Seaboard Air Line, not only
in helping to build up and develop the
country by bringing a large number
of his acquaintances North, but in
inducing a great many of his personal
friends to make investments along
the line of road. Nor has he stopped
at this. It is not putting it too
broadly perhaps t: say that in four
years Air. St. John has done more to
encourage the farmers to improve
their condition than has been done by
any other agency within the past ten
years. He has devised and put into
operation many plans, all of them
successful, the methods and manner
of which need not be here referred to.
The people of the South welcome
all such men, from whatever section,
as Mr. St. John, and they feel in
debted to the owners of the Seaboard
Air Line for securing the assistance
of so able, sagacious and energetic
a business man to aid in the develop
ment of Southern interests to which
he has so industriously and success
fully addressed himself. It is to be
hoped that nothing will cause him
to leave our Southern section.
The article from the Cambridge
Press, above alluded to, is as follows:
For several years it has been known
that the Southern section of the
Union was being rapidly pushed to
the front, but few people of the
North really know how much enter
prise, pluck and determination those
people have. Before the Civil war
between the States their surround
ings and customs were different to
ours. They were as much a differ
ent people as though they lived in a
foreign country. They were sur
rounded by slaves who did all the
work and it was not necessary for
them to exert themselves. " The
young men grew up as large land
owners with hundreds of slaves.
Each had as it were a little kingdom
of his own over which he prvailed.
They thought of nothing but cotton
and rice culture. They made cotton
to be shipped to the Northern mark
ets to be made into cloth and re
shipped back to the South and else
where. They were farmers, we up
here the manufacturers. But the
freeing of the negroes has changed
things. Every man was dependent
upon his own exertions. They were
left without money and without
means and for thirty odd years it
wras a hard struggle for those people
with nothing but the soil as their
capital, but this hard life has shown
that the Southern people are made
out of the same material, with the
same energy of the Northern men
and all they needed to develop into
first-class business men was the op
portunity. The climate is not as many sup
pose, the cause why the white peo
ple did not work. The fact is they
did not have to work while they had
slaves and even now it is so easy for
any one to make money down there
that they do not have to work as
hard as we do up here.
The Southern people are not slow
to catch on. They are not opposed
to Yankee ways as some say, and this
is proven by "the fact that they are
getting Northern men and women to
go down and teach them how to do
things in the Northern way and this
shows they are up to the times and
reaily to learn all they can.
Among the foremost people in the
work of development are those along
the great Seaboard Air Line Railway
which traverses what is known as
the Piedmont section from Ports
mouth and Norfolk, Va., through
Virginia and the two Carolinas into
the heart of Georgia, Atlanta. To
guide people in the work of develop
ment, the Seaboard Air Line has at
considerable expense secured the
services of a former citizen of New
England, a real live hustling Yankee,
Air. E. St. John, a native of Con
necticut who went West when a
young man and built up a reputation
as a Railroad Manager and a devel
oper, far above any other person
that had anything to do with the
develoment of the great Western
States. The fact that these people
are securing the services of such a
man is positive evidence that they
are not behind in the march of prog
ress. Air. St. John is located at Ports
mouth, Virginia, and as Vice Presi
dent and General Manager is at the
head of the Seaboard Air Line, and he
is inducing many people from the
North to go down South. He has
opened offices in Boston at 306 Wash
ington Street, in New York at 371
Broadway, in Philadelphia at 30
South Third St., in Baltimore at 2Q7
E. German St., in Washington at
1431 New York Ave., and at each of
these places North, men are cm
ployed to give information to those
who desire to go South; and during
the last twelve months, more than
four thousand persons have settled
along the Seaboard Air Line, and
those who think the Southern people
are slow are badly mistaken.
The Seaboard Air Line is owned by
Southern men and they are showing
by their acts that they are going to
have the territory developed in the
most substantial way, and they are
employing competent Northern peo
ple to help them.
FROfl THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
Things Seen and Reported by Our
Washington Correspondent.
(From Our Special Correspondent.)
Washington. D. C Jan. 30.
North Carolinians have taken quite
a prominent part in the proceedings
of Congress the past week. Senator
Butler created a genuine sensation by
his speech on his amendment to the
pension bill providing for pensions
for ex-Confederates. He said his own
State of North Carolina recognized
the right of South Carolina to secede
from the Union, but it was not until
our State was compelled to withdraw
in defense of her own rights that she
left the Union. "Every gun tired by
a Southern soldier was fired in self
defense," Air. Butler declared, "of
the constitutional rights of the South
ern States, and in defense of their
homes and firesides." He declared
that it was a most unnecessary war
and was forced on the South by the
North. He claimed that the South
ern States were right and that histo
ry will so record. Senator Chandler
and other New England Senators cast
aspersions on this speech, but it cer
tainly secured a hearing for Butler.
After this remarkable speech Mr.
Butler withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Kitchin, the Democratic mem
ber from the Fifth district, made a
line speech in the House on the Hull
bill to increase the regular army to
one hundred thousand men. It was a
telling argument against the policy
of imperialism in general, and the
proposed increase in the army in par
ticular. He pointed put the menace
of a vast standing army to the very
stability of the Republic itself. This
bright voting member is making an
excellent, reputation in Congress, and
has received many congratulations on
his recent speech.
Senator Butler and Senator Pritch
ard have both been very accommoda
ting the past week in introducing
bills by request. The former has in
troduced a bill to limit the hours of
work of District of Columbia police
men to eight hours a dav, and the
latter has introduced several bills for
Elkins, providing for the increase of
the salaries of numerous officials who
are proteges of the West Virginia
Senator.
Mr. Butler presented the resolution
of the North Carolina Legislature de
claring in favor of the election of sen
ators by popular vote, and in present
ing it called attention to the fact that
twenty-four Legislatures had previ
ously adopted resolutions of like
tenor.
Mr. Pritchard has presented a pe
tition for a light-beacon in the Cape
channel in Pamlico sound, according
to a resolution passed by the North
Carolina Legislature.
The Senate committee on Judiciary
took up most of the session in the
consideration of the nomination of
Hamilton G. Evvart to be judge for
the Western district of North Caro
lina. Senator Pritchard, it was un
derstood, desired a report on this
nomination as soon as possible. The
committee, after carefully consider
ing the case, which has been pending
many weeks, decided to report unfa
vorably upon the nomination. This
came as a great surprise to Mr. Ewart
and his friends, who were expecting
a favorable report. Senator Pritch
ard and his friends may carry the
light into the Senate, but there is lit
tle prospect of their succeeding after
the unfavorable report of the com
mittee. Only three members of the North
Carolina delegation favor the Hull
bill for re-organization of the army,
and they are the Republican members,
George White, Pearson and Linney.
All the other members, so far as
known, will vote against the measure.
It is understood that Senator Pritch
ard favors the measure, while Senator
Butler will oppose it to the bitter end.
Airs. Ella C. Peace has been con
firmed by the Senate as postmaster at
Oxford. She is the wife of Mr. A. S.
Peace, the Populist leader who did so
much to secure Senator Pritchard's
re-election to the Senate two years
ago. This is regarded as the pay
ment of the political debt he owes
Peace.
The conviction of Commissary
General Eagan by the court-martial
was not unexpected. The question
now is, will the inlluence of Aiger be
sufficient to induce the President to
shield him, and retain him in the
army? The investigation of the em
balmed beef scandals seems to lag,
though it is understood that a good
deal of damaging evidence has just
been brought out regarding the deal
between the Chicago packers and the
war department.
. The treaty of peace will be voted
on in the Senate on the 6th of Febru
ary, and it will probably be ratified
with several votes to spare. A num
ber of Senators who are opposed to
the policy of expansion will vote to
ratify the treaty on the ground that
a failure to ratify would seriously
embarrass the country.
