Congressman flVilliam sSuflzer, ?of CCew York has been mentioned as a possible candidate for the Ydce-Pres-idency on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. That he is Tery bright the f oHowing Ifrom his speech delivered at the, Anti Trust Conference, Chicago, on Sun day night fully shows: "The People -who oppose and .con demn trusts will receive no encour agement from this trust-ridden and ttrust-owned administration. The Re publican Attorney General is the mere creature of the trusts, and will take do action against them. "The Republican party in all its xwer stands fearlessly for trusts, land is openly and boldly supported by trusts. Every trust in the country was for "William McKinley for 'Presi dent in 1S96, and every trust will zeal ously and loyally aid him in 1900. If you ask what for? Ji answer for Talue received. "The .Republican party is the party of pjutocracy. It stands today for economic errors that rob the many for the benefit of the few for finan cial heresies that centralize wealth and paralyze industrial freedom for (political policies that enslave the an asses. The .Republican party spurns ithe people, the Constitution, tramples Ion the rights of man, tarns to the avail the picture of the great Emanci pator, and laughs to scorn the De claration of Independence. "To sum it all up, the Republican party stands for Hanna and the 'Re publican party is Hanna. 'What a difference between the party of Xdn coln and the party of Hanna! ""The Democratic party is the party of the plain people, lit is opposed to trusts and monopolies, itx (Special priv flleges. It stands for the supremacy of the Jaw. It believes in freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of action, freedom of trade, and free institutions. It believes in the Consti tution, in fostering commerce, "unfet ftering trade; establishing Industry, Biding enterprise, maintaining equal opportunity, defending liberty, un shackling the mind and the conscience nnd handing down unimpaired to fu ture generations the 'blessings of our free institutions. "While the uTeptrblican party is in power the trusts -will flourish like a green bay tree. "When the Democratic party cornea into iower a Democratic President will appoint a JJemocratic Attorney ileneral who Tvill enforce the Jaw asalnst the trusts, and they twill dis solve and disappear like mist before the rising sun and be gone forever.' nn. DIt Y AN AND SIXTEEN TO ONE The Mjriu-ixam a-ivi vi vfxna.ua, jve the TOTer .Which. 'Mr. Brvan J A CA V " edited just prerrlons ito his nomination for the (FTesiaemrjr m xow, tuns states r r m wn-n relations to the arreat ls- LUi . ij-- " Bue fwhich ds in accordance with the daily declarations oi tu.r. xryan mm -i f T. rats: : "THe ew. Yorfc World and Mr. Coekran do not appreciate the impor tance of the so-cailed '13 to 1 because they have not studied the money, ques tion. In truth, that question is more important today than ever. If they desire to support W. J. Bryan they must accept the Chicago platform. If they think there are imperfections in that platform they must accept Bryan in spite of these imperfections. But this ixsint ehouild be emphasized that Brj-an would rather go down in glorious defeat in defense of the prin ciples in which he believes than ac complish an ignominious Yieforiy at the sacrifice of his manhood. 'Perhaps these people do not understand the splendid spirit that sustains this sit uation. The democraoy of the South and the West do understand it, and because this is so Bryan will be the leader in Yhe -"battle of 19(XV ""There are some things worse than defeat. One of these wonld be the sacrifice of an honest conviction, and any man who knows Bryan would not ask him to sacrifice a conviction. The effort would 'be useless." HON. JOHN W. ATWATEB ON THE AMENDMENT. It is a pleasure to The tPost to pub lish an open letter from Congressman John TV. Atwater of this district to one of his constituents in Chatham, lit is a letter rwprrhy of the writer, and of the good citizenship which is dearer to him than office. On the great issue now involved our Con gressman is just where we expected him to be knowing him as we do, on the side of good government through out the State, now and hereafter. And he says -Mr. Butler wiilil not 'be aWe to lead his former associates into the Republican camp and in opposition to white supremacy and the elimina tion of the ignorant and vicious negro voter. This letter of Mr. Atwater, follow ing those of A. C. Green, of Wake, J. J. Ctfarshall, of iForsyrb, J. Z. Green, of Union, may be accepted as fully voicing" the sentiment of every Popu list who has pride in his race, his citizenship, and who desires the rtvell being of his State. The people of this district, and the whole State as wefll, will read Mr. Atwater's letter with grreat pleasure. This is anything but encouraging. The Wins-ton 'Sentinel says: "Mr. Kennie Rose received a letter yesterday from John A. Chapman, who is a meimber of Company 1), 3St'h U. S. Volunteers. The letter iwas written on January 4th, at Zapote Bridge, about twenty miles from Ma nila. Me says: .I have ibeen in one battle which lasted one entire night, January 2d), hut very few Ameri cans were wounded. From what I have seen since I came here I have decided that the iwar in the Philip pines has just commenced. The Amer icans have almost lost all they gained last summer. We are fighting over the same ground that the Americans captured at that time. It will com mence in earnest pretty soon. My company has been ordered to get ready to move south tomorrow morning'. 'Tell the 'boys that this is not Cuba. 'We had a false alarm last night and :killed one Filipino, one buf falo and one monkey; also had one man killed in my company." If the monkeys and the buffalo have riz, as well as the Filipinos, Soldier Ohapman is fudly justified in his pre diction that the "war lias just com menced." Verily, this war of assimi lation is assuming a very alarming and discouraging aspect. (Norfolk is very largely a North Caro lina town, having drawn and still drawing much of iits population, and support from this State. Its pros perity is therefore of great interest to our people. We can therefore re- ioice with our friends just over the line as well as congratulate them upon the following evidences of growth, taken from the 'Landmark: For the week endincr JFebruarv 8th 'bank clearings at Norfolk showed an increase of 80 per cent, over those for the correspond inc kee"k of ISftO. The clearings of the whole country during- the same .week decreased 1 per cent, as compared with last year. Norfolk's remarkable eain surrassd that of any other American otv ex cept Savannah. Keen vour eve on Norfolk." Speaking of the result of the Moli- neaux trial, the (Philadelphia. Record concludes: "The accused man's lawyers were not successful in their efforts to re lieve him of Imputed connection with in school? Then you have often heard them complain of headache; have frequently noticed how they go about in a listless, indifferent way, haven't you? Scc4is5niulsiOTL does grand things for such children. It brings a healthy color to their cheeks. 9 . strengthens their nerves, and . gives them the vigor that be longs to youth. All delicate children should take it. Yrk. the crime with whicnhe was charged. iMolineaux has had a fair trial among an unprejudiced people, with an able and impartial jury, before an unbi ased judge, and conducted Joy a Dis trict (At torney x ("Hon. James W. Os borne) who was plainly moved by conscientious scruples rather than by a desire to. convict. The result Is a noteworthy vindication of the weight and value of circumstantial; evidence under modern methods of judicial ad ministration and practice. Mr. IHenry; Frick, laite partner of Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the great steel king, has brought a suit to compel Andy to divide. IHe says the met profits of the great iron company . last year were over $21,000,000. We believe it was 'Mr. Carnegie who said recently that "no Christian should die rich." die evidently is not living in daily fear of a stroke of apoplexy or a serious disturbance in the depart ment of his appendix. ; , If Henry really .wishes to serve his country, however, he should . exercise (his powers in persuading Ihis late chum and co-laborer in the field of plutocracy to divide some of those immense profits nvith the public by reducing prices, as well as to give himself a seat at the first table as of yore. , 'Senator Butler in his speech in the Senate in opposition to the constitu tional amendment quotes the Wash ington Post as follows: lit is to be hoped that Senator "But ler speaks by inspiration when he predicts the defeat of the North Caro lina suffrage amendment." Well, yes, possibly be has been in consultation with Senator Pritchard and the negro 'Congressman White, whose political life, like Butler's, they know, depends upon a continuance of ignorant negro suffrage and conse quent social disorders. He certainly did not get any inspiration from such, white Populists who are real leaders of that element as Congressman At water, Jltev. Mr. Cade, Mr. J. J. Marshall, Editor J. Z. Green, and ex ISenator A. C. Green, and thousands more just like them. The only .Republican iSenator j f rom the entire .South is from, North CJiro lina, yet in the list of Southern, com missioners of this country to the Paris Exposition, sent to the Senate by President McKinley, not one is ta North Carolinian. '" Another evidence of the estPmiate placed on North Carolina "Republi cans by President McKinley. And like wise of the influence of this only-Republican Senator wi'tih the Republican administration. Cut of the seventeen named, the South gets four, Brutus J. Clay, of Kentucky; Charles A. Collier, of Geor gia; (Henry A. Parr, of Maryland, and William M. Thornton, of Virginia, : There is a hot commercial war on between Trance and Brazil, which our people might turn to good home use. France refuses to lower her tariff tax on Brazilian coffee, and Brazil retorts by doubling her duties on French, goods. Americans buy millions of dollars worth of coffee from Brazil, which is paid for in large part with gold instead of with our foodstuffs and manufactures. A little energy dis tributed in he neighborhood of Rio now might result in great and perma nent advantage to our people. It is a good country to cultivate. Congressman William Connettl, of Pennsylvania, is said to be the richest member of the present lower Holse. A biographical sketch of him says "more than fifty years ago Mr. Con nell began life by drivliig a jnule in the coal mines of Pennsylvania at 75 cents a day. At the present time he is the owner of the mine in .which he commenced "work as a boy."x To use with one of Mr. Bryans apt illustrations, (when that mule and -boy got into that mine the owner Tery prudently got out If Mr. Bryan could only deliver his speech in every to ting precinct in the United 'States on the 5th day xf next November, he would certainly stand a good chance of election the next, day, judging from the effects of his splen did piece of oratory Tuesday "night. '"Everybody -who heard him became en thused orer the speaker. IHe ia truly a magnetic man, , and thoroughly captivates all who go within .the sound of his voice. The Post regrets to hear of the death of Mr.y Ellihu l. White, which occurred at his home in PePquLmans county a few nights aso. He wa an upright, conscientious citizen, highly esteemed by all iwho knew hi.ni. .He "was well known in this city, haying served as OoJlector of Internal Reve nue during Harrison's administration. ' t The Boers claim to hare 120,000 good fighting- men, with provisions and ammunition "to fight indefinitely And late incidents indicate they them selves have' gone on the warpath with deadly determination The Boers have , assumed the offen sive, and are beeominar most offensive- jly so, on the west .side of the Orange Free State, near Colesburg. Severe fighting has occurred, and the British ihave been badly worsted with Iheavy losses. Mcbane by Common Consent. : - (StatesvMe 'landmark.) iSo far as iwe have observed, only one candidate bas been mentioned for the 'Democratic nomination for State (Superintendent of Public Insifcrulctlon I JMr. W. E. Abernethy, or jsuriKe. There as said to be a strong sentiment in favor of nomiinating -Mr. Mebane, itihe present superintendent, and it looks as 4f the niomination would go to Mm by common consent Although Mr. iMebane was nominated and elect- led by the fusionilsts in '96, be Is not a partisan, and so far as our informa tion goes bas maide a very capable, . (Charlotte 'ObseTver.) A corirespondenit, "X," protests against the 4dea of the Democratic State convention nomina'ting Mr. C. H. Mebane, ' Superintendent of Public In struction, for the position, be now holds. 'It is true iMr. Mebane was i niominated and elected four years ago av a Republican. It is . further true that be is the first man who has held this postMon since the war who bas seemed to regard it otherwise than as a sinecure who has made anything out of it for the cbildren of the peo ple. It is true, again, that he bas been a real "non-partisan" in the admlnis ! tration of bis offi'ce, declarinig that ! politics mus't have no place in the public ; schools and leaning rather to 'the Democi-atic tlian the 'Republican boards deciding, indeed, in the con tested school board cases in favor of the Democrats and advising the fusion boards to vacate in (favor of the ap pointees of the last legislature. We have, too, seen Mr. Mebane quoted as fin' favor of .the constitutional amend ment. We do not know bow this is, but if it is time the fact covers a mul titude of sins. The Observer has no zeal about the matter, but, speaking j broadly, a panty which four years ago voted for six Populist electors wno were committed to a Populist for Vice President need not bave any great scruples in nom-inatiing this year for a non-partisan office a man wbo has shown pre-eminent fitness for his place and wbo bas discharged its du ties in such a manner that certainly no Democrat can object to bim, what ever reason those wbo elected bim may find for disappointment in bim in a partisan way. Bobbed the Grave A startling inHdent, of wbiicb Mr. John Olive of Philadelphia was the i subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was In a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back ond sides, no appetite gradually ! growling weaker day by day. Three ' physicians bad given me up. Fortu nately, a friend advised trying 'Elec tric 'Bitters,' and to my great joy and surprise the first baiifle made a de cided improvement I continued their USe for three weeks, and am now a ( well man.
