Bradley has not yet called that extra session. Evidently th4 Governor is not quite so much interested iD the matter as are the various aspirants. We salute our now contempor ary, the Raleigh Tribune. We have only one objection to it and that is it doesn't reach the Wes- - tern nart of the State soon enough. The Lenoir Topic ought to seiW a representative to Raleigh to look after the impeachment of T "1 "V i mi TT 1 Judsr Norwood. The Leerisla hire will adjourn in about six weeks and now is the time to act in this matter Governor Russell's inaugural address has a ring about it that justifies the predictions of his friends as to his courage and ability. It is Jong since we have had such a powerful address from a Governor of the State hflnamr onhms i still MPinc kept on the anxious seat. There is nothing so trying on the nerves of a 'Senator who -is a candidate for re-election 'to have to contend with '.. Hocked legis lature. 1 eace among nations seems to be the order of the day at least amonsr the great nations. The Arbitration treaty arrangod be tween the United States and Great Biittain makes war remote, so diplomats say. Governor Russell's suggestions as to the .abolishment of the Bu reau of Labor Statistics are in line with what we have been ad vocating. It is one of the best wajrs to begin the practice of a wholesome economv in the ad ministration of the State's affairs. iom x uui goes nacK to me T7-.:n .1 Oi-i .. Ti . r. m Tl .

Ii 1 1 1 caucus loses its force when we look back over the history of Senator Butler himself. We all remember the part which Mai ion Butler took in nomina ting Elias Carr for Governor. He was in the Democratic State convention of 1892 and Carr was his special candidate. The con vention named hiln in deference to Butler and the faction he rep resented. But how many wet ks was it before Butler had bolted his own nominee and was the leading spirit in another conven tion to name a man to oppose Carr? Not over six weeks if our memory serves us aright. And it wasn't many days after Exum was namud for Governor before Butler was assisting him in ma king his-canvass. If this was not a decided bolt, what was it? Again: Mr. Butler went to St. Louis and participated in the L uunHl "nai convention which helped name Tom Watson ii i : j. v - a' .1 it ior ice-i resuieni. Air. Jmitler TT l ?1 a. -r - .i was the temporary chairman of that convention and was after- wards elected as chairman of the Populist National Executive Com- mittee. Mr. Butler was in honor should be cared for as well as Bryan's. How dfid he fulfil the mission entrusted to him by his party? He consented to deals which ignored Mr. Watson's can- didacy, and in States where the Populists were strong "enough to carry their electors through in spite of both opposing parties, the vote of those states were abandoned without hesitation to Bryan and Sowall. For what purpose? Merely that the Popu- "sta might get the state patron age. A.nd Senator Butler never once protested, never acted at anv time as if Mr. Wnisnn vna I candidate, even going so far as to refuse to make public Mr. Wat son's letter of acceptance. These two instances will show the people of North Carolina that those men who bolted Senator (D. Butler's caucus at Raleigh have never grnne to such extreme iu th I oiling' business as Senator Butler himself. This article is written before the decision of the Senatorial contest at Kaleign. m jjH have been "S m lrl " decided. In spite ofdiis fact t is just as well to remember these little facts of Senator Butler's his tory in case he proceeds to crush those members of the legislature who defy his autocratic dictation and unscrupulous tyranny. COLONEL THORNTON DESERTS DE MOCRACY. Impelled to Take Thl Course by Changed Condition In the South. Having heard that our well known townsman, Col. Marcellus E. Thorn ton, had severed his connection with the Democratic organization, of which he has been such a conspicuous mem ber in the past, we had our reiorter to call on hi in at his office last Monday and secure from him ftft authorized. statement of Wis position. The colonel received our representative in his usual genial manner and consented toy take the public Into his confidence. "In regard to iolitie!," said Colonel, Thornton, "I am out of politics, &ince 1 am out of the editorial chair in jour ualisui and do not attach much im portance to my political views. I will ay this however: . I have always been a protectionist and also a sound inon ev advocate? The principles of the Pemocratie party have always been on that line, but not a some have re cently enunciated them and claimed to understand them 1 have been in the minority on some vital points in Democratic platforms, hut hojied for the tetter. The control of the Repub lican party by carpet buyers in the South for personal ajrandizement, .t?;1 the net;ro question hes hitherto prevented me, as no doubt it has thousands of jjood men in the South, from revolt and openly e.-pousing the 'loctrines of the Republican party. The Republican machine in the t?outh ha endeavored to work the netfro for Isis vote, also the poor union man, and cared not which side won locally so long as the Republican party won Nationally and they cont ruled their State's Federal patronage. Rut all that may now be wiped out. There has been a wide divergence of opinion in regard to the National Democratic platforms during the last twelve years. I was not for Horace Greely as a Dem ocratic President. "In admitting that I will henceforth most probably affiliate with the Re publican party I do not depart from the old time Democratic principles. The Democratic iarty has been trying tp adopt the old discarded tenets of the Republican party in its infatua tion to gain popularity, and the Re publican party has adopted some of the old dyed in the wool Democratic doctrines and thus thev are reversed, vis a vis. Protection to American indus tries, and "sound money werw origin ally De'i ocratic. By "sound money' old time Democrats meant, and so un derstood, then as now, that "specie" gold and silver, was the money "sound money and not the paper money issued and allowed to be bsucd by private banking concerns and cor porations, as was the case before the war and previous tothe adoption of the National Iinnk system; which latter, I look upon as thermit stable and equitable banking system in the world or ever conceived.

John I), jjonil. of Massachu setts, who will i i all probability be in Maj. McKin: ley s Cabinet, sat down at table with the President-elect. The other guest at lunche n wa Senator Burrows, of Michigan. Senator Sherman arrived at the bou.-e about an hour aud a quarter before noon and left for Wash ington at two o'clock. He had a long talk with Maj. McKinley and theydib- cii.miI many men ami measures. Mr Mierimid aid the appoint merits and tlie organization of the work in his de partment would not le considered till after the inauguration of Maj. McKin ley. It is understood that the ap point ment of a First Assistant Secre tary of State was not discussed te day but the gossips have it that John Rus sell Young, of Philadelphia, Pa , waa a consideration. Senator Sherman was in excellent spirits and seemed full of vigor. The visit of ex-Gov. Long following so closely ujxm that of Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, is construed to mean he is not unwilling to accept a place in Major McKinley's Cabinet. Senator Lodge assured Maj. McKinley that there were no objec tions to the appointment of Gov. Long on the part of the Massachusetts Republicans, and it may be deemed reasonably certain that he will be the New England member of the Cabinet. Maj. McKinley and Gov. Long had a long talk and the latter left for the East by way of Cleveland at 4 p. m. It is not thought that the particular place iu the Cabinet which is likely to be ottered Gov. Long has been determined. No tender of a portfolio was made to-day. Gov. In haid he simply came to confer with Maj. Mc Kinley. Senator J. C. Burrows, of Michigan, came to see the IYesident elect in the interest of Gen. Alger, whom he hoje8 will be appointed Sec retary of War. Senator Burrows ald the Republicans of Michigan had counted upon Gen. Alge, and that he had the hearty endorsement of the two Senators. Gen. Alger is alo be ing urged by the old soldiers of the Pnion armies. Senator Burrows did not indicate that the portfolio had leen tendered Gen. Alger, but the be lief is pretty strong here that it .will le. The differences that existed be tween Senator Sherman and Gen. Al ger have been happily adjusted and form no ottBcle whatever to the ap Iointment of Gen. Alger to the Cab inet. This is stated nxn high an thoritv. Roanoke Beacon on Fridav last Dr. T. B. Wolfe's little one year old child fell into the fire and was badly burned about the head and face. It seem that Mrs. Wolfe left the room for a few minutes, leaving the child and its fister, aged about f thcee years, at play on the floor, and on her leturn she found the little irl pulling the baby out of the fire. The little girL while too young to tell just how it happened, had sense enough to rescue the baby from what would have beea a most awful death.
