Why, a large number of them are there now that is, in the hands of the receivers. The New South purposes to be represented in the Cotton States and International Exposition to be opened shortly in the city of Atlanta, and the enterprise promises to bring to gether the best samples of progress made by the Commonwealths in the great cotton belt, together with in dustrial exhibits from the country generally. General Schofield, the command ing general of the army, says that there was not a word of truth in the report from Cripple Creek, Col of an intention on the part of te United States troops to arrest Governor Waite in case he took command of the State militia and proceeded against the Deputy Sheriffs on duty in connection with the mine strike. The Kansas City Times (Dem.) regrets that there is no prospect of disappointing the Democratic trai tors in the Senate. "If no tariff bill is passed," it says, "the McKin ley monstrosity serves their pur pose, and if the pending bill suc ceeds, their bluff and bluster holds good." It adds that the only way to punish them is to "retire them to obscurity at the earliest possible moment." ! The Ohio Legislature has adjourn ed without accomplishing the work expected of it and with a number of broken campaign promises among the- results of the session, but the voters of Ohio doubtless looked for this and may not be dissap pointed. There is a reckoning ahead, how ever, in which these same voters will take part. The overwhelming Republican majority has gone on record as having granted everything the corporations demanded, even to the adoption of the biennial session plan, which was intended to head off unfavorable legislation. In a letter to the State Farmers' Alliance of South Carolina, Senator M. C. Butler, who is a candidate for re-election, says that he is in favor of free coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1; that he is opposed to the government ownership of railroad, telegraph and telephone lines; that he cannot endorse the sub-treasury idea, and that he is in favor of an income tax. Gov. Tillman, who is also a candidate for United States Senator, had previously written a letter to the Alliance taking the same position on these questions. The Charleston INews (Dem.) thinks that the spectacle of the Governor and the Senator giying their politi cal views in response to the demands of such a hybrid political organiza tion as the Alliance is not an inspir ing one. WILL POPULIST LEADERS BE COflE niSSIONARIES ? It is by no means certain that the Populist party in North Carolina is not a blessing in disguise says the North -Carolinian. When it was first organized some excellent men, inspired by zeal for real reform, in the line of the crusade, joined its ranks. In course of time they learn ed that "Reform" in the Populist party was seized upon by tricksters as a mere cry with which to secure the votes of the people. It was a painful revelation to them to see men preaching reform and practic ing the schemes of wily politicians to obtain office for themselves. Some of the rank and file are still in ig norance of this double-face perform ance. The first Populist leader, honest in his convictions and in his high en deavor to do good, who woke up to this realization was Rev. R. L. Pat ton, candidate for Congress on the Populist ticket in the Eighth dis trict. The revelation appalled him. He became depressed. He prayed for light. Light came to him, and with the first burst of light came a call to him Jto go abroad as a mis sionary. He heard the call and is preparing to obey it. He will find ample opportunity in this noblest of all fields of Christian labor to ad vance the cause of the only reform that is without alloy. Dr. A. A. Maynard, who was the Populist candidate for Congress in the the Sixth district, has applied to the mission board of his church to permit him to goto China as a medi cal missionary.The doctor came from good,sturdy,honorable Wake county stock and all his people were sur prised when he joined the Populists. He evidently sought to help forward real reform. Like Rev. Mr. Patton it didn't take Dr. Maynard long to see that he could do nothing to lift up his fellowmen by continuing in the Populist party. Impelled by a zeal to do good he has abandoned the Populists, and will shortly go abroad to doctor the bodies and souls of the heathen. There is no labor more honorable, and no man wanting in self abnegation would undertake it. The doctor has chosen "the better part" and will have the prayers of Christians for great usefulness in his holy calling. We have two in Granville who are classed as rabid Populists that would do good work in the heathen missionary field if they displayed the same amount of zeal that they do in adyocating the interest of the Third party. These two examples open a wide field for speculation. All of us know that as a political party, devoted to reform, the Populist party is a failure. May we not hope that, realizing how greatly they have been deceived by moonshine promises, that other Populists will look for practical fields in which to do good ? Is it too much to hope that Marion Butler will have a call to preach to the dwellers of the isles" of the sea? That S. Otho Wilson will deter mine to transplant his grape vines and his Gideonite band in the wilds of Africa? That W. H. Worth will "feel moyed" to carry the Gospel and cotton-bagging to those who sit in darkness "on India's coral strand?" That Col. Harry Skinner's silyer tongue will wake the echoes on "Greenland's icy mountain?" That Col. Buck Kitchin who soon tired of being Chinese In spector for Unkle Sam, will lift up his stentorian voice calling the heathen of Shanghi to repentance? That Dr. Cy. Thompson will sur render his Congressional aspirations in the hope of giving pills and pellets to the residents of Afghanis tan? That Frank D. Koonce will go arm in arm with Dr. Cy, and sell all his non-taxable government bonds to help the spread of Dr. Cy's physic for the body and soul? That Dr. Pat Exum will leave his goat farm and ship all his surplus "bacon' to furnish rations to his missionary friends? It is too much to hope that these last named gentlemen will leave off politics to follow in the footsteps of those two honest reformers Patton and May nard. But if they would emulate their example they would be doing more good than they can hope to do by continually stirring up strife at home. THE WAR CiOESON. Excitement in the coal mining regions is intensifying. The cap ture of railroad trains by organized and armed bands of striking miners is becoming an everyday feature of the trouble. In Indiana and Illi nois a number of railway corpora tions have had their rolling stock thus seized and, according to the latest reports, some of the stolen trains are held to suit the further convenience of the marauder. In Illinois on Saturday "the Ladd miners captured a train en route to La Salle and at the point of revol vers compelled the trainmen to surrender and the engineer to gather up enough cars to carrry the mob. About 400 boarded the train and pulled out with great cheering." Leaving the train near the scene of their proposed operations against nonstriking miners, the insurrec tionists were met by a detachment of militia. The officer in command "ordered the militia to charge the strikers and place them under arrest, and then the wildest scene ever witnessed in Peru took place. The strikers ran wild in all directions." The report goes on the describe the scene and the participants there in. The strikers, it says,"are all non- English-speaking." Terror seized them when the millitia appeared, and 'vhen the muskets were leveled at their heads and they were ordered to throw up their hand, some fell on their knees praying and crying, and others ran for their lives. Several shots were fired, and one man was shot through the left ear. About seventy-five strikers were taken prisoners and the balance driven out of the county." Men who do not understand our language and have no knowledge of or respect for our institutions, who are as unfit as the wildest barbarians for citizenship in a republic, are creating all this' trouble, causing bloodshed, and great loss of property. Armed and equipped as if for war, they move in force upon men whose only offense is that they persist in working to support their families. And those insurrectionary alies have quit more remunerative employment than they ever found in their own country in order to "go on strike" and compel honest, industrious men to join them. Bad as things are just now in the United States, this is stili a better country for the poor than any other country on the globe. Outside of the United States there is no place on earth where the miners now engaged in armed re bellion against the laws of the land could sell their labor at prices com mensurate with those which they have declined. But they have a right to strike. It is lawful for them to ask such terms as they see fit. Even though they subject their families to cruel suffering by refus ing to work, there is no law com pelling them to abate a cent from their prices. When, however, they take up arms, steal trains, and make war on other men to force them in to idleness and their families into starvation, no sympathy should be given them except such pity as goes out to the criminal classes generally pity for their ignorance and wickedness and regret that their crimes bring so much loss to their victims, and so much unwhole some excitement to the communi ties which they disturb. No State does its duty that does not guarantee to the humblest citizen the right to sell his labor and to fulfill the contract without being beaten, shot, or otherwise maltreated for the exercise of that right. It is included in the "in alienable right." THIS YEARS ELECTION. The Wadesboro Messenger-Intelligencer expresses the opinion that there has been no increase in the number of Populists in its sec tion since the last election. We know of no section of the State of which it can be said that it has seen a growth of the Third party within the past two years, and certainly the Republican party has gained no adherents within that time. If these two parties undertake to coalesce the Democrats will beat them because enough Populists and Republicans will repudiate the com bination to leave the fusion party in the minority. If they fight separately, the Democrats will whip them as they whipped them two years ago. Figure it as we may, we cannot see how it makes any differ ence what these enemies do, and we recognize but one danger threaten ing the Democracy the danger of apathy in its own ranks. This is a menace that has to be reckoned with in every off-year. We have seen that it is more threatening in the first elec tion succeeding a successful general election than at any other time we came nearer losing the State in 1880 than we have done at any election in twenty years. With the lesson of that year in mind we are in less danger than if it had learned to es teem itself impregnably entrenched; and what is a better assurance of victory still is the fact that the "un- terrified Democracy" is not without occasional quiverings of terror just now and when it is scared it is in vincible. We will win again all right this year, as usual, only it wan't do to be too certain about it. The public in general will re joice that the house committee on election of the president, vice-president and members of Congress have reported favorably on the bill providing for the election of sena tors by a direct vote of the people. Of late years the senate has become almost oblivious to public sentiment. It has got too far away from its masters, the people. This bill to make our upper house directly de pent upon the people for its exis tence will have many more sup porters than it would have had a few years ago. Recent senators are responsible for this change in pub lic opinion. In connection with this alleged armor fraud, some now say the white paint characteristic of our navy is unsuggestive of whitewash.
