'M- Barbee of Com pany I, North Carolina Volunteers, who was killed in a collision on the Florida Central and Peninsu lar .railroad,- near Savannah, last Monday returned a verdict that the accident which caused Barbee's death was due to the culpable neg ligence of the employes of the railroad and to the bad condition of the rolling stock of the freight train which ran into the military train. The Wilmington Messenger remarks: "When many North jQarolina soldiers are compelled to furnish'fcbir own blankets and to be uniformed from the state arse nal it is seen how well prepared the war department at-Washington is for war.

The Democrats of North Caro Una are to be congratulated upoi. the fact that the movement fn fusion was defeated by the Demo cratic convention which met in Raleigh Thursday. The platform committee's report rejecting the Populist proposals wras adopted with tremendous enthusiasm. The convention advanced a step fur ther and instructed the executive committee to entertain no further propositions from the enemy. The plan is to make a straight 'fight to. redeem the State. There is to be no dickering or flirting with the Populist party. The ' platform adopted by the convention approved, endorsed and ratified the last Democratic Na? tidnal and State platform and pledged its earnest support to the principles therein expressed. The Republican party was denounced for the passage of the Dingley tariff bill, .which has increased the burdens of taxation upon our con sumers and given trusts and mo nopolies greater power to "rob the people. It also denounced the Republican party for the defeat of the Teller resolutions declaring our national bonds payable in sil ver as well as gold, and for its de termined purpose of more thor oughly fastening, the single jgold standard upon our people and for its avowed hostility to the free and unlimited coinage of silver as well as gold, at the ratio of 10 to 1, into full legal tender money. There were further denunciations of the Republican party. The war with Spain was deplored and earn est support of the government pledged in all honorable ways for a specly and successful conclusion of hostilities. The letter of Mr. Bryan and the address of Chairman Jones, seek ing to unite the silver forces, were endorsed. Placing ignorant, irresponsible and corrupt men in office wTas de nounced. The removal by corpo rations of suitsor cases from our State to Federal courts were op posed and legislation to prevent it favored. The extension of the powers of the railroad commission was favored; the election of Unit ed States Senators and railroad commissioners by the people were favored, etc. The Democrats of North Caro lina can now go to battle fearlessly and with no unholy attache and work with earnestness forvthe suc cess and victory . of the party in November. . , NOW TO WORK. The State Democratic conven tion in Raleigh Thursday was com-posed-of the leading. Democrats in rsorin iaro'ina ana was almost a unanimity in opposition to the proposal of fusion. ' They were representative of the State's De mocracy. Their .work, so far as we have been able to gather, meets with general satisfaction. Great enthusiasm prevailed when the platform, enunciating the princi ples of the party was adopted. No better and no more favorable platform could hardly have been presented to North Carolina's De mocracy. A strict adherence to the-jnciples laid down will mean much to our noble old State. Now to wofk, fellow Democrats of North Carolina. Let the prom inent leaders of tlve party, the Democratic speakers and the Dem ocratic papers, begin at once to disseminate the doctrine of Democ racy as offered by the convention, rior cease holding out these prin ciples until the November election. If this is done victory will doubt less perch upon the Democratic banner and the State will once more return to the fold of Democ racy. . .-' . Corruption and misgovernment in the State should be overthrown. The Democratic party can do it. Theu to work with a will. FAST UNITING THE NORTH AND THE SOUTIL -;.; . The present war between the United States and Spain is having its good effect Quite a ' number of prominent northern men have made a proposition to return -to the .South the flags of the Con federacy captured in . battle. This proposition was made durig Mr. Cleveland's administration but was met with such strong op position that it was withdrawn t It is now in evidence that tl North is becoming willing. to sup-" render these flags. So late an enemy to the South as Governor Bushnell, of Ohio, says: "The time to srive. back thei captured flags has come. Ohio wants no longer the trophies taken from her sister States so long ago. She would , rather re store them once more .into the hands and the tender care of those" who first bore them aloft, as a token of love for her sister com monwealths whose defeat in war has long since been turned into a victory of peace and plenty,". From this it may be "seen that the sectional feeling is being ob literated and that the war is fast uniting the North and the South. Henceforth we may be one people. This should make us proud. Let us trust this may be the result. Seventh District Solid. Statesville Landmark. It is ver3r apparent that the Democrats of the Seventh Con gressional district are dead against fusion. About all of the counties in the district with the 'exceptions of Davidson and Iredell have adopted resolutions against fu sion, and Iredell would have adopted such a resolution prac tically unanimously if it had Jeen presented. Kissed Negro Women. Three sections of military trains, euch containing fourteen coaches, passed through Danville yesterday, en route to Chicamauga. These trains carried the Ninth New York Volunteers.. A crowd of people, including many ladies, witnessed their arrival and depart ure. The soldiers were in the usual gay spirits and afforded much merriment by their witty remarks and clownish actions. One sight, howevei;, that was wit nessed with particular disgust, was that of several of the privates talking with, and in two instances, kissing negro women, who allowed the "privilege." Danville Regis ter. Prospects of Peace. A despatch from Madrid to the London Daily News says that al though the reported negotiations with the powers to secure the re establishment of peace have not taken place, there is a possibility of peace at no distant date. 1 The responsible statesmen of Spain are prepared to seize the first opportunity for ending the war, provided the terms of peace are honorable. Spain would not initiate the negotiations, but should the neu tral nations submit an honorable arrangement it would be -exam ined in Madrid in no impractical spirit of false pride. Peace with honor is the genuine desire of the Spanish government If, however, America insists upon the sacrifice of honor, the the Spaniards will continue fight ing. The Sun says the Sixth Massa chusetts had a warm reception in Baltimore Saturday, almost as warm in its way as that given it in April, 1861, but the warmth was not the wrarmth of hate. The re ception in 1898 was as notable for good will as that of '61 was for ill-feeling and hostile acts! Thirty- seven years ago the Sixth Massa chusetts was pelted with stones and other missiles. Saturday it was pelted with flowers, fruit and the like and was literally almost overwhelmed with kindness. No less, than forty-seven per sons have beftrf killed by trolley cars in Cfcago within half as many weks. It is safer for the Chicaoari to go tp war than to auvy ui uome. NEWS ORTHE WEEK.
