THE PUBLIC LEDGER EDITORIAL IVOTES. The Democracy is all rig-hl be cause it is all right. Charlotte Democrats have form ed an kAnti-Force Bill Club." Does high protection benefit the working men ? Ask the peo ple of Homestead, la. The Democratic central execu tive committee elected Robert H. Cowan, of Pittsboro, secretary. The educational qualification in Mississippi has put the white voters of that State in the major ity. Why not call him Blucklaw Reid? He wants the Force bill passed to put the South under negro dominion. Another congressional candi date in the old Fifth may be look ed for. Tho Prohibitionists will put a man out. Jim Weaver and Jim Fields are the nominees of tho Omaha con vent ion. But the Third party cannot break into the white house the worn-out old jimmies. With four candidates in the field Democratic, People's party and two Republican lively times in this congressional district are in store. The present political mess breaks the record. Mr.Carnogio cannot contribute enough money to the Republican corruption fund to counteract the effect of the Homestead tragedy. His help to the Democratic cause is unexpected and unintentional, but it goes. Election "stickers" things of paper and cum have been in use in the South for years. We can stand them, but we draw tho line at the sharp, steel "stickers" the Republicans with their Force bill want to send down this wTay. Granville has two candidates for congressional honors. And a Granville man will represent tho Fifth District of North Carolina in tho next National House of Representatives. And tbe name of that Granville man is Hon. A. H. A. Williams, the Democrat. PEMOt UACY AND TRUSTS. The Democracy, which is the real party of the people, is out and out opposed to trust. It is using every means in its power to crush out these giant monopolies. An important action in this direc tion was taken in Congress a few days ago, the following account of which we get from the Durham Sun, and which shows that our staunch and tireless representa tive Hon. A. H. A. Williams is doing his whole duty : "Representatives ilarter, Bee man and Williams (North Caroli na,) a majority of the trusts sub committee ot tho House Manu factures Committee, have made a report to the full committee. The report says that the sub com mittee finds trust, combinations and associations in control of the production, distribution and prices of very many of the most important articles of general cons sumption in the United States. The consequences are wholly bad and absolutely without any re deeming feature whatever. Prices to the consumer are increased, while the wages and occupation of those persons employed by the trusts are rendered less remunera tive. Condemning all past and existing legislation in regard to trusts as insufficient and imprac cable, the sub-committee recom mends and requests the full com mittee to petition the House of Representatives to take such such prompt action as will result in placing upon the free list with out delay (and permit their im portation without obligation to pay any tariff taxes whatever) all articles the manufacture, price, sale, or distribution of which is, or may come, under tho control or direction of any trust, association or combination whatever."

RADS SPLIT AT GREENSBORO- Rotli Settle and Amis Xomiiiateil lor Congress. Greexboro N. C, Julv 14. Thomas Settle of Reidsville, was nominated for Congress in the Fifth District today by a vote of 13 to . Tbe convention was organized with Mr. Maiigum, of Durham, chairman. Tbe Amis men took exception to some of the rulings of tbe temporary chai man, and Walkes Carey, of Caswell, introduced resolutions that as tbe convention appeared not in a mood to harmonize that they ad journ until some future time. This produced a storm of opposition from the Settle rank and resolutions were downed. Carey then arose, and call ing to bis friend to follow him, bolt ed the convention followed by near ly all of tbe negroes. Mr. Ray, of Reidsville, placed Mr. Settle in nomination, but as all the Amis men had bolted bis name was not placed in nomination. Tbe roll of counties being called, three of tbe number refused to cast their vote. By this time tbe convention was in a perfect uproar, the negroes yelling out, "You'll bear from us in Novem ber," etc. W. P. Bynum, of this county, was nominated elector for this district. Mr. Settle, in bis speech of accep tance, denounced Hon. John .B rower, of Surry, as the traitor who bad caused tbe split in the convention today. Another convention was held mby tbe bolters, who were from Gran ville, Person, Caswell, Orange and a part of Durham, and they nomi nated unanimously Biifus Amis, of Granville. St ri lies Tinder McKiiileyism The strike at Homestead, with the resulting riot and bloodshed, is one of tho most instructive ob ject-lessons that has yet been fur nished ot the practical effects and workings of the McKinley Tariff act. The country was promised by the advocates of MeKinleyism an era of unexampled prosperity and a general increase of wages along the whole line if tho McKin ley bill should be enacted into law. It was so enacted and the fruits of nearly two years of its operation are before the country. Ibe man whose wages have been increased in consequence of the pas sage of that bill has not yet been found, although he has been sought thougliont the length and breadth of the land. From a hundred plat forms campaign orators have de manded that he be pointed out. He lias been advertised tor thro ugh the columns of the daily press, with great persistence, but lie has not been dis covered. He has no existence. But the men whose wages have been reduced since the McKinley act went into eltect are legion. These has been no instant of time since tbe McKinley tariff act went into effect that there has not been in progress, somewhere within the United States, a strike against apVoposed reduction of wages in some protected industry. The Weekly World will publish today en extensive article, occupying more than ten columns ot space, setting forth in great detail tbe dates, places, number involved and the causes of these strikes. It is a start ling array of facts, gathered by much labor and expense, and is a complete refutation of the claim that high tariff make high wages. There have been 473 of these strikes.

The fight lasted several hours and four men were killed. The Frisco mine was blown up during tbe fight and is a complete .wreck. After the mine was blown up the non-union men of tbe Frisco mine bung out a flag of truce. Hostilities then ceased and about sixty men surrendered. Mr. Stevenson has a letter from Mr. Clevelend which invites him and his family to visit the Clevelands at Gray Gables. Mr. Stevenson will accept tbe invitation after he has met tbe notification committee in New York Jaily 20. SUBSTANCE OF THE FORCE BILL. Few persons have read the Federal election or Force Bill, as passed by the Republican House in the last Congress, be cause of its length. It made a pamphlet of seventysix pages. The following, reprinted from the New York Sun, gives the substance of that infamous bill: Chief supervisors of elections in judicial districts are charged with the execution of the law, which is to apply to Federal elections in cities of 20,000 in habitants and upward, and in entire con gressional districts exclusive of such cities upon application to the supervisor of 100 voters, or in counties and parishes forming a part of a congressional district upon application fsom fifty voters; The supervisors are to guard, scrutinize, and supervise regtstration and every act or incident connected with registration and plans for ascertaining who are legal voters. Upon notice from the chief supervisors the United States circuit courts are required to open for the pur pose of transacting registration and elec tion matters . The supervisors are to be appointed by the circuit courts three in each el ction district or voting precinct, only two of whom are to be of the same political party. These supervisors are to attend nil registrations in their districts, chal lenge persons, personally inspect and copy the original registration-books and papers, attend elections, ana detect and expose the improper or wrongful manipu lation of the lists. Incase of failure of local ele. tion officers to put the statutory oath to a challenged voter, and to pans at once upon his qualifications, then the supervisors are to apply the test and re ceive and deposit the vote, making a list of all such challenges. They are also to personally inspect ballot-boxes before elections, keep independent poll lists, and enclose rejected votes (endorsed with the name of the voter) in envelopes. I addition to these duties, the supervisors are required to make in towns of 20,000 people and upward a thorough house to house canvass before election, to inform voters upon inquiry where and in what box to deposit their ballots, and to scrutinize naturalizations . In canvassing the vote the State laws are to govern, except: All ballots are to be counted by tens, first by an inspector of election and second by a supervisor, the local election ofilcejSB and the super visors keeping separate tally-sheets, which are to be compared and the result publicly announced. Uallots deposited in the wrong box are to be counted. Re turns are to be made by the supervisors in duplicate to the clerks of the United States circuit courts and to the chief supervisor who is to tabulate and refer them to the United States Board of Can vassers of the congressional vote, which is to be appointed by the United States Circuit Court, and consisting of three citizens of the State and persons of good repute, not more than two of whom are to be of the same political party. The board is to convene on November loth each even year and is to declare and, certify the result of the election and send one return to the Clerk of the House of Representatives, one to the Governor of the State, and one to the proper chief supervisor of elections. The Clerk of the House is to place upon the roll of members-elect the names of the persons declared elected by the United States canvassers, in case there is a difference in the result reached by them and by the State election officers . A penalty of between $1,000 and $5,000 is provided in case the clerk neglects this duty. All ballot-boxes are to be clearly in scribed with their nature, and boxes are to be kept in plain sight and open to in spection. Bribery or attempted briber of voters or election officers is made pun ishable by a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than five years or both. Like severe penalties are provided for false registration and voting repeating, coercion of supervisors or voters, improper conduct of election officers, false canvassing, ballot-box stuffing, fraudulent ballot distribution, resistance to a supervisor's Jawful com mands, breach of the peace at registration or election, intimidation, and almost every kind of election fraud. It is not necessarily to be supposed that the Republican revolutionists would revive the force bill absolutely as it passed the House in 1890, but certainly the main an 1 worst features of that bill would be in their new bill, with addi tional sections more infamous yet whe-e the experience of two years' disappointed malice might show them to be needed to secure the perpetuation of Republican misrule.
