Air IJntlcr, by virtue of an unvir tuous combination between himself and the Republican .party by which .the State was turned over to Rus sell ism . and its present disgraceful condition ami himself elected to draw the salary of a Senator in Con gress, attempts a second denial of the use of the infamous language at Rocky Mount reputable citizens swear he used, and parades a num ber of statements secured by his "private secretary" to sustain his de nial. Mr. Otho "Wilson, who knows lUitler inductively and con structively, says he has no doubt but that he, Butler, used the lan guage imputed to him, as he is the only man in the State capable of ' having so mean an opinion of his fellow-man. lint there is still stronger evidence, if stronger could be given, from Hutler himself. In the editorial columns of his paper, of date September 30th, this lan guage is used: "This aw ful crime of rape, the con demnation of which shouliKbe prompted " by sincere motives and honest purposes is used in a hypocritical manner for base and partisan ends and all the time 1 1 icy are condemnin the nature? of the crime they are secretly ' longing for more rapes that they may better play upon the prejudices of th people." "Now,"' pertinently asks the "Windsor Orient: "is i here not a striking similarity be t w ecu l he utterance at Hocky Mount and i in para irra n ;i i c.J A man may, in a healed speech, ne intemperate language but r.utb r never nets into these sweat boiling speeches. Now how does the paragraph from this paper sound, writ ten with calm thought and deliberation "lie did write what wr clip from his paper, a nil thrrc is no w av for him to at tempt to get out of it. If.y what he said at Hot ky Mount, rial is just as bad; the fact is, his speech what hcMiad writ, editorial." And this man, after turning the State over to negro control it was by his deception of honest men that he did it securing for himself what to an honorable man would be the highest political honor with the gift of the people, has the shameless au J dacity to, in" a manner, defend the crime by slandering good people who denounqe and endeavor to punish it And this man, to avert the condem nation which is to overtake him, be comes the close confederate of the Republican Governor of the State in vicious and unlawful assaults upon the integrity of contracts, the rights of property and liberty, and hopes by such movements to divert the people from their purpose of hurling them from the power they use to betray and degrade. Tlio-rople cannot again be de reived ds to Butler, or by Butler, nor again misled into condoning the scandalous misdoings of Russellism from the poor unfortunate Burns on through the gamut to the peni tentiary, The honest people must and will have a change. But, But lor did it, A QUESTION WELL ANSWERED. . Our friend of the Sylva (Jackson county) Sentinel makes this enquiry by-way of observation: . "We would- ljkc very much to read Editor Furman's explanation of what he means by the expression .used in his Salutatory in Thk Post, the new paper at Raleigh, that all the great principles of the Democratic party were never more seriously threatened than at pres ent." And the Sentinel,in the same issue, gives a -good reply iQ Par e en" quiry in the following: "The North Carolina voter in next year's election will have less difficulty in decidingfm which side his vote shall east than has hitherto sufficed as an ou rejjarfd , hisjlito heised in ni in his excuse for voting the wrong ticket. He cannot plead doubt as to how .a North Carolina white man should vote with out confessing ignorance dense enough to incapacitate him from" .voting at all. If he desires to express his approval of higher taxes, the corruption, fraud, turmoil and confusion that have been the close and constant attendants of the Republican-Populist-negro administra tion which is now in control of the State, that unholy, greedy and ollice seeking combination is certain to afford him the opportunity by the presentation of a ticket which will stand for a con tinuation of all these things which go to make up the sum of -North Carolina's present shameful condition. "On the opposite side will be found the Democratic party, battling for the rescue of the State from the hands of this malignant and unpatriotic gang, and its restoration to the hands of those who love her and are loyal to Her good name. 4Thcre will be no room for the inter vention of side issues, and their introduc tion will readily be understood to mean a movement to confuse the minds of the people, and thus lead to the perpetuation of the power of the State's despoilers. "Only two sides of the great contest one for the prosperity, honor, and glory of North Carolina, the other for the con tinuation and deepening of the shame and disgrace which side will you take?" An administration guilty of these things stated by the Sentinel is mak ing a very serious assault upon the true principles of governnunt those principles of honesty, econ omy, protection of all in the right of life, liberty and property, and property equally with life or liberty tor which . the Democratic party stands. The object as well as the duty of the Post is to aid in calling the people back to the old land marks to aid in the restoration of our. government to the control of those who respect law and order, who will defend and pursue the right, condemn and punish the wrong, just such control as we had for twenty years indeed from 1S70 to 181)7, until Butler, and Butler ism, combined with Russellism, pre vailed. Now let's to work, my brother. WHERE THAY ARE AT. Commodore Theo-pheel-us White, of the North Carolina Oyster Navee, is the. so called chairman of the Pop ulist executive committee of Hert ford county. It is reported that he, with- a rfumber of Populists of hia section and of his kidney, are in Washington making the pavements warm with tramping in pursuit of the powers in the interest of Mr. Cobb for Collector aiid Mr. Bernard for District Attorney for this district. We are uot surprised that these mpss-back Republicans should want these offices, nor does it con cern us who or which may get them. But what does look suggestive, is to see these Populist patriots insisting that these ofllces be given to Repub licans without a division, even threatening the Republican party if they are nt given to these particu lar Republicans. "They plainly and openly declare," says a despatch to the UJiariotte uoserver, "mat me defeat of Cobb and Bernard means the demoralization of the Republican party in the eastern section of the State, and Democratic success in the next legislative and judicial elections throughout the State, From their standpoint it will be an act of Lad faith that will prove disastrous to the Republican party." This suggestion of "bad faith" is aimed at Senator Fritchard, and w e presume the Senator promised to i'take care" of those who in turn would "take care" of Commodore White'and the other Pops who sacri ficed themselves by throwing Butler overboard and saving the Fritchard ship, and incidentally, we may add. keeping the faith that Butler pledged them but betrayed. And Mr. White evidently expects more from Mr. Cobb than from Mr. Duncan. Hejwill paddle his oyster boat for gomlinie to come.' We acknowledge -the pleasure of a call from ex-Go v. Elias Carr yes terday. No State. ever had a more honest executive, one more earnestly desirous of serving every interest of the people faithfully and well. It was a real pleasure to us to meet him, and to hear his earnest prayer that old North Carolina may agaiu take her place among those States which point to their government with pride and cohfidence, such place as she enjoyed from 1876 to 1897. And it was specially encour aging to hear his expressions of faith that it would be done, and that soon. He has implicit faith in the integ rity of the people, and believes as strongly that the Democratic party will soon come to its own. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. The teachers of Buncombe county have, through the influence of the County Superintendent of Educa- j tion, Mr. D. L. Ellis, organized a I County Teachers' Institute, com-j posed of all the teachers in the county. This Institute noias meet own resources, aud these are so di ings once a month. On the 4th inst. j vided that ai do-nothing session is a very important meeting, largely at-1 tended, was held, at which useful, addresses were delivered, especially, "It would be, well," in the opinion of those of Dr. Lawrence, president of j Jhc Tf df r.e' "to con" 1 . 1- i r a. if ess that the Dingley tariff act, however the Normal and Industrial institute ' accentable it mav ha tr tmc of that cityj President Jones, of the Asheville 'College fof Young Wo- men, and Prof. Eggleston, superin tendent of the city Graded Schools. We will, at an early date, copy the admirable address of Dr. Lawrence? on "Industrial Education," as a most timely, as it is ah able, contri bution to a very important subject now befor the public We will con tent ourself to-day with the follow ing editorial from the Ashewlle Gazette, referring to the Institute and the papers discussed. Says the Gazette: Yesterday's meeting of the Teachers' Association in this city, was rendered especially noteworthy by the several ad dresses by men prominent in educational work. We take much pleasure this morning in giving a w ider publicity than they gained from the platform, to a por tion of the interesting and instructive remarks by Dr. Lawrence, President of the Normal and Industrial Institute; I'jof. Eggleston, Superintendent of the Asheville City Schools, and Prof. Jones, President of the College for Young Women. AVe regret that our space will not permit of the publication in full of what each of these gentlemen . said on the interesting topics on which they spoke, liv Dr. The subject discussed so ably Lawrence is a most important one. and is enlisting the thoughtfuljit t'ention of the educators throughout the country. The increase and growin'g im portance of manual training in schools is one of the most significant movements of today toward im proved and more practical meth ods in education. Ne parent can read Dr. Lawrence's words without feeling the truth and weight of the arguments he advances. The useless men in every community are those who do not know "how to work," and who therefore are reckless because they find no interest in life. They are worthless or dangerous according to their temperament. To know how to work is to love to work, and to love work Is to succeed. The overworked man is far happier than the lazy man. 1 1 is periods of rest or "vaca tions" are a delight, because they renew the interest and increase the strength for his avocation. The lazy, aimless man w ho is futile because he does not know how to use his forces is unhappy dur ing his brief periods of toil as during his long periods of idleness. There is a de light in being able to do anything well, that remains a life-giving tonic far into old age. And the new education that Dr. Lawrence advocates so temptingly is along the pleasant line of least resist ance. The old rule was "Spare the rod and spoil the child," and the rod was often administered to kill the instincts that might have made the child "a good black smith, as Dr. Law rence remarked, in or dcr to make of him a poor minister. The new method is to study the child and as sist it in fulfilling the destiny for which it has a natural bent, and along the route that the child seems most inclined to go. This is hot "pampering" the child, but is exciting its interest in the best that its na ture is capable of, and increasing this interest until it becomes so strong that it shapes the purposes of its life, and is a constant and lasting safeguard from the dissipation of any of its energies. Dr. Lawrence's appeal for manual training in our public schools is worty of the atten tion of every citizen. The signs are un questionable that but a few years are to pass before a manual training depart nient will be au essential feature of every public school, especially in the towns, unless that school is to be ranked by intelligent public sentiment as anti quated. No one who visits the public schools in any of the larger cities where .manual training is taught, can fail to be struck with the bright interest shown by the pupils in their work in this depart iiimi, ami as jir. jjaw rence aptly says the interest these pupils take in this branch of their work is not at the ex pcuse of their other work in the school but rather their minds, stimulated by the interesting achievements of their hands, are brightened for their other educational tasks and they are among the most successful! pupils of the school. . THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. The Post prints this morning a synopsis of the message of President McKmley, read before Congress yes'erday. There is nothing in the wordy document calculated to ex cit.e the country, or energize Con gress in any special direction. , It touches upon" many subjects, but in a way to indicate that the Presi dent will be satisfied wih any action, or no action at all, on the part of Congress. He "still harps on my daughter" by praising the proactive tariff policy inaugurated by the extra session, and promises great results therefrom in the 'future. Ilis discussion of the finan ciai interests, anu conditions, is simply a cautious, and rather quali fying approval of the suggestions of the Secretary of the Treasury, all of which has been anticipated by The Post. He explicidly suggests that his course in regard to Cuban affairs is satisfactory, aud Congress should leave that matter where it is for the present. Je is as outspoken in favor of the early annexation of Hawaii as he is on anything, yet he will not be disappointed if the Sen ate acts with deliberation in the mat ter. These are the points touched upon of greatest present public in terest, and the whole is characteriz- j ed by an evident purpose to say noth ing that could possibly hurt any- oouy s feelinsrs. The Congress will give the people no relief, so far as yielding to any influence' of this administration is concerned. It is left entirely to its already predicted. framed its more important schedules, Is, as a revenue producer, a failure," E Raleigh District. E. A. Yates Presiding Elder. Raleigh Edenton Street : W.

"So far the only important difference" between the Wilson and the Dingley laws, as seen by the Indianapolis News (Ind.), "is that the first one created a de ficit through the remission of taxes, while the second one has created a de ficit through the imposition of taxes. And we got a greater customs revenue under the lower taxes than we have so far under the higher taxes." "In view of the qualifications of the present Republican Senator from Mary laud, or the lack of them, the Baltimore American (Rep.) argues Uie extra need of selecting a very good man as Gor man's successor. "The supreme duty of the Legislaturer" it says, "is to send to the Senate the best Republican it can find in the State, without regard to any factional lines or narrow limitations." "The mistake made by members of Congress who think a repeal of the civ il service law is demanded by the people is in supposing that those who are mak ing a noise on the subject represent the people at large," the Indianapolis Jour nal (Rep.) observes. "They do not. The noise they are making is as a penny trumpet to the roar of thunder compared with the noise the people would make if the law were repealed." "There is nothing for us in Hawaii that we cannot get at far less cost than the annexation scheme involves," ar gues the Portland Press (Rep.) "But with annexation will come a crop of ex ceedingly perplexing problems' All these problems can be wvtrided by the simple device of declaring to the world that the United States proposes to toler ate no foreign interference in the isl ands, and letting the inhabitants attend to their own affairs aud govern them selves in their own way." Boston Democrats, in their municipal platform, thus counter upon the Repub licans, who w ish to discuss the currency question in the city campaign. "The Democratic, party stands for home rule and local self-government; we believe in national issues for national elections, local issues for local elections.

We denounce me irtF""" party of Boston for the feeble attempt made in its platform to force a question of national politics into the coming election, and for its ignoring of vital municipal questions." There is a sentiment among Republi cans in Wisconsin in favor of the nomi nation of a candidate for United States Senator in the State convention, one of the arguments being that in this way dan ger of corruption of the Legislature could be lessened. Combatting this, the Milwaukee Sentinel; (Rep.) says : "Lead ing and very wealthy politicians who may want to buy nominations to the United States Senate would be inore likely to tind bargains in fthc State con ventions than in the Legislatures. If the people of Wisconsin cannot find l&S honest men to represent them in the 1 choice of a United States Senator in Uie manner prescribed by ijiw, they cannot find 1,34, be it more or.iess, uuhcm uh-u. to represent them for the same purpose in a State convention. "And it is easier to hold the smaller number to accouuta bility than the larger body." PAST GRAND FOR A FACT. A writer in the Charlotte Obser ver relates this incident: A gentleman from the Old Jorth State, on a recent visit to Madison, Wisconsin, on being asked "Where are you from?" replied: "North Carolina." "Iiussell is Governor of that State, I believe':1" "Yes." "Well, he anil I'ingree are the past grand h 11 raisers of the the Union," answered the stranger. While the Governor of Wisconsin includes potatoes in his enterprises, our Governor' confines himself raising Cain." Let's swap.
