Its vital principle and its crowning merit are that it stands fur c.pial opportunities to ail that by the maintenance of older and the administration of jus tice it is designed to give every man a free hand in the struggle for the prizes of life.

Busbee Reviews the Ser vices Rendered to His Party and State-Why He Thinks He Should be Elected A Man of Character and Ability Who Would Fill the Posi tion With Honor and Credit to Him self and to the State. (News and Observer, September I'th.) Un yesterday Mr. Charles M. Bus bee, in conversation with a reporter for the Xcws and UOxcrvvr in regard to the Senatorial contest (it being un derstood that he is to have general charge of Mr. Simmons' interests,!, said : "At Mr. Simmons' reijuest, 1 have consented to look after his canvass for United States Senator. He cannot do so himself, and necessarily his friends must assume the care of his interests. Mr. Simmons is unable to supervise the details of his canvass: he is Chairman of the State K.xecu tive Committee and cannot, even in the slightest degree, Delect the fs r : duties which devolve on him by rea son of such position, however much his personal interests inav sutler: he cannot mingle the campaign in North Carolina for Bryan and Stevenson and for the Democratic Congressional can didates with his own canvass for the Senate and, therefore, he is onipelled to place the management ot his can vass in the hands of his friends, while he devotes his own time and energy to the general affairs of the Democratic party. 1 appreciated the delicacy f his position and. as I know his thorough litness, by reason of his character, capacity and legis- A Fact Not Disputed 2 l By the Well Informed.

He is a man of the highest character and of intellectual strength he is a capable lawyer, a tine speaker, and a ipiick and ready debater he has had legislative ex perience: he made a most faithful and useful member of the House of Kepresentatives when he was in Con gress from the Second district. And, in addition, he is a man of atTair? of business capacity and experience, altogether reliable and trustworthy. The addresses issued by him as chair man during the campaign of lfsand P.ioO are models of strong and vigor ous English. No abler political doc ument has ever been issued in North Carolina than the letter of Mr. Sim mons to the President, in relation of the Civil Service laws, during the recent campaign in thi- Mate. And it is especially to be considered that the State will need a competent de- fender and champion m respect to the receiitiv the .'senate :n adopted ( '..in stitutional amendment. 1 do not i minimize tne aointy oi uu- ouier can- r lates. but Mr. sinm.ons js. above a I others, the man to defend in the enate the Democrats the people of North Carolina against their enemies and calumniators.

' and weigh heavily, in favor of a can- ! didate if he is in all respects compe- i tent to discharge the duties of the oilice. Mr. Simmons has done faith- fill and exceptionally important ser- j vices to his party. The Democratic j party has carried the State three times since IS'jn in US9-', in lsys and in P.ldo. Each time Mr. Simmons was chairman of the State committee and directed the campaign. When he became chairman in 1 s L .S the State was in the hands of the Fusionists who cry, cr'at controlled the election machiu and the chance for the Demo - was everywhere regarded as exceedingly slender. His conduct of that campaign resulted in the re demption of the State from the mis rule of the Fu.-ion party, lie added to his laurels by his masterly man agement of the campaign just ended, when the State purged itself of a mass of ignorant and vicious voters. His great services in that campaign are fresh within our memories. Is it to be said that his work was the work of a -polit ician," and that we must not reward politicians'.'" Is a man who leads a forlorn hope for the political salvation of a people, and who gives unceasingly his time and labor to that end, to be told after the victory has been won that he cannot be given high political honors because for sooth he has dabbled in politics? I do not believe that the Democrats of North Carolina will render any such judgment. Are the young men in the Democratic party to understand that if they are candidates for office their former services to the party are not to be considered? Is Mr. Sim mons to be handicapped in this con test by the fact that he has labored for the party and led il to victory':' Is the declaration to be made that the rewards of victory are not to be given to those who bear the burden of the party's conflicts' The extent and value of the services rendered bv Mr. Simmons are of common knowledge. Are they to be forgotten? Are the workers' in t lie cause of Democracy and the people lo be set aside with the statement that they are 'i-ditical' workers? one of the Is gratitude to obsolete virtues lieeomc in Not ih 'arolina?

The masses of the Democrats of North Carolina are for him. because iie-v believe right is right and ju-tice is justice, and that the man who has led them to victory louei speak for them in the Senate of the United States. He will not be turned down by his party because the KepnbliV.m and Fusionists will re j : at such action. They hate htm bitterly and concentrate againt him their hostility f the Democratic party.

BEYOND PEN OF MANKIND IS THE STORY OF CITY'S DESTRUCTION. Friday the Fairest City of the South, Saturday the Graveyard of a Storm Wrecked Country Death List Reaches 5,000 Property Loss Ines timable Uncivilized Disposition of the Dead Ready Response to Ap peals for Aid. (i Ai.v i.ston, Texas, sept. lo. dv Western Union dispatch boat to Hous ton.) To-night the city of Calveston is wrapped in sackcloth and ashes. She sits beside her unnumbered dead and refuses to be comforted. Her sorrow and sufferings are beyond de- fs seription. Her grief is unspeakable. Friday and Saturday she was happv, prosperous and buoyant, and with a bright and prosperous season opening up auspiciously. Last night she was stricken down and crushed by a mis fortune that seldom befalls any com munity, and in her inexpressible an guish appeals for help to burv her be loved dead, feed her stricken, and af ford temporary relief for those who almost in the twinkle of an eye lost home, loved ones, and the savings of a life time. To-night the city is dark, desolate and dreary. A pall has fallen over the living. It is pit iable and pathetic beyond descrip tion. The cyclone that produced such an appalling disaster was predicted by the United States Weather Hureau to strike Calveston Friday night, and created much apprehension, but the night passed without the prediction being verified. The conditions, how ever, were ominous. The danger sig nal was displayed on the HagstalT of the weather bureau. Shipping was warned. The Sout h-Eastern sky was sombre, the (Julf beat high upon the beach with that dismal, thunderous roar that presaged trouble, and it had that ominous stillness that betokens a storm. From out the North in the middle watches of the night, the wind began to come in spitful pulTs, litful at first, but increasing in vol ume as the day dawned. By lo a. m., Saturday, it was al most a gale: at noon it had increased in velocity and was driving the rain, . 7s , whipping the pools, and rattling things up in a lively and ominous manner, yet no serious apprehension was felt by residents remote from the encroachments of the (iulf section of the beach. As stupendous waves be gan to send their waters far inland the latter began a hasty exit to more secure places in the city. Two gigantic forces were at work. The (Julf drove the waves with irre sistible force high upon the beach and the gale from the North-East pitched the waters against and ovej the wharf abutments, bursting the sewers and flooding the city from that quarter. The hopeless people were caught be tween tlie two incoming floods, while the wind shrieked, howled and rapid ly increased in velocity. Poisiness suddenly came to a stand still. Car traflic was impossible, and all of them that hail homes and could reach them either by conveyance or otherwise hastily left their places of business and ottered fabulous prices for any kind of a vehicle that would carry them to their loved ones. Railroad communication was cut olT shortly after noon, the tracks being washed up. Wire facilities complete ly failed at :i o'clock, and Calveston was isolated from the world. The wind momentarily increased in velocity, while tin; waters rapidly rose, and the night drew on with ap prehension depicted in the faces of all. Already hundreds were strug gling with wave and wind for places of refuge. The public school build- mgs, the court in fact any plae parent refuge their utmost, the citv with shrieked with The rain fell in house, the notels, and e that oll'ered an ap bceaine crowded to Darkness settled on a pall, and the wind a frightful velocity. torrent s. At n:'J p. in., just tiefnre tin; ane mometer tilew away, the wind reached the frightful velocity of loO miles per hour. Hnililings that had hitherto withstood the tni e enll;ipsed, carry ing death and destruction to hun dreds. Knot's whistled through the air. vvinil iws were iUivcd ni with ai crash or shattered hv flying slate, and j telegraph, telephone, and elect i i light pole.-, with their mass of wire were snapped like pipe stems. What velocity the wind attained after the anemometer Idew oh" is purely a matter of speculation. Tin lie, ivy detonation of falling huildings and piercing cries for help that broke through the roar and rush of the element.- and the picture of dead bodies floating along the streets made it a night to those who safely passed through it that will never be obliter ated from their minds. The lowest point touched by the barometer in the correspondents ottice, which was tilled with frightened men and women, was -. oU. This was about 7:3 p. ni. The barometer then began to rise slowlv and bv Id p. in., it had reach I's.H'i. Ihe water which had reached a denth of s feet on Mrand street at In p. m. began to ebb. It ran out very rapidly, and br 7, a. m. the crown f the street was free from water. Thus ptsed out the most destruc tive storm that ever devastated the coast of Texas. To-night the city is filled with the bereft, destitute, and homeless. At a temporary morgue are stretched out hundreds of bfies -f all ages, representing all nationali ties and eon lition- of life. Whole families lie side by side. The living are searching for their loved ones amid the slime and waters of the streets fir nnder the debris of their ho mes. (ivi.v i.-T'iN, Tex., .'sept. 1.

Such scenes drive men to despera tion, aud in the bounds of the once fair Galveston to-day are many fren-; zied jK'ople. A number have sought i freedom in death, which they so stout- 1 ly fought. A young girl who sur vived to liud her mother, father and j sister dead, crept far out on the! wreckage yesterday and threw herself into the bay. Only a few viewed this act of des peration, but it was of no conse quence. What w as one deatli more or less? IKAI lillllllKli- SI.AIS. Yesterday eight men were shot and killed. They were pilfering the dead, tearing jewelry from the lingers and ears of the dead women. No warning was given them: like dogs thev were shot down. I NDI.I; MAHI1A1 LAW. The citv is under martial law Ihe remnant of a once proud military company patrols the beach, the mem bers armed with weapons they don't hesitate to use. It is believed the mortality list will reach 5,000 souls; perhaps more. In one morgue at the Citv Hall the tally of l.ioo has been passed. Attempts at identification have ceased. Decomposition is rapidly setting in, and the important question is the one of disposing of the bodies. In wagons they are hauled from the streets and placed on barges, which take them beyond the jetties to the deep water in the Gulf. They are piled up like cordwood. Mingled are the bodies of once bright-eved babies, fair-cheeked girls. 1-1 . r men who had ruled and commanded, who had pos-essed their thousands, and with them paupers and negroes, all bound for the one common destina tion the deep waters of the (Julf.

No one has paused to con sider it amid the awful destruction of life. Nearly half the residence part of the city is swept into the Gulf. Not so much as the foundation re mains. This part of the city is all a distorted mass of wreckage. The water in the slormswept por tion is from Ul to 15 feet deep. No building could hold its parts together in it with the wind that raged at loo miles an hour. ON K KUKllI I KI 1. M;in . Those who passed through tlie tstorui say tlie uproar was deafening, the crashing of the buildings being drowned by the rush of the devouring waves. Moments of a lull would come and then the piercing shrieks of wo men and children could be heard from all directions from the struggling victims, tossed about clinging to Moat ing debris or being suddenly torn therefrom. From far out on the rolling bay to the streets of the heart of the city cau.e the wailing and shrieking of the drowning souls. lAt I.K.II T AT LAST. I The awful night of terror came to an end at last. On Sunday morning a streak of dawn lighted the East and the waters had receded. Those who had escaped the horrors of the night came from their hiding places. The bodies of friends lay on every hand. It was impossible to glance in any direction without seeing doens of corpses. Nearly all were nude, the winds and waves having torn awav all of their clothing. Another View Of It. I he Durham lh ruhl Higgesl: as some claim, all those papers which J favor dropping the negro m the pres ent campaign are hopeful of MeKin- le"s election, there is gemd teaon tot f":ir that the Kansas Citv platform) j inav not pull Bryan through in thij Mate." I The Slur has not lwr ed that! such claim has Ix-en made: and we; j certainly make no u-h elaitn our selves Hut isn't it true that all pa pers that favor the election of McKin l.p and all thoc that are giving Itrvan a .-hick-twisted" support are in favor of "dropping the negro in the present earn paign ?"" -Wilmington '-r. As lo the Hi r itf'x ndvcrviiti'iii, it i onlv ju-t to point out that if white voters were to decide the matter, there would be no doubt of the issue in North Carolina as between Itryau and McKinley. the Republican or the Democratic "platforms, but the dill". cultv is that McKinley ban at leat To.ooii negro voters solid for hum to start with. Therefore the Kan-a Citv platform is handicapped to that extent in North (.'arolina. and that handicap make the negro issue a proper one at the November election.
