RiiBsell in 1) is eighteen months as Governor of North Cur olinii, has in the parlanoo of the day given "a continuous perform ance," and one in which Ilia Official liigness has attempted to nonopo liza all parts. Instead of trying to give the peo ple of this State, in his "continuous performance show" a fair return for the cost of keeping up His Ofiiciul Bigness, the Governor refuses to let any other person "act", and kei-ps, the stage himst If and -by his bluster and bravado tries to deceive the1 people into thinking that he is a 'real governor." t Aa long aa it amnses Ilia Official Itlgnets to pose, blow and declare himself as the all sufficient one, why the public can afford to look on and smile at the grotesqaeness of Ilia liigness. But the public becomes tired of burlesque; oJinness and dignity, courtesy and fairness are a much moro edifying spectacle, more be coming in a Governor of a State, than ranting, blasphemy and disre gard of the rights of others. In fact the donkey perversenees of Hit Official Bigness, his disregard for all decency is causing the people of North Carolina to long for a speedy close of this ".continous per formance" of D. L. Kussell's. The Governor's performance in trying to make the Railway Com mission reverse its decision on the matter of railroad rates, is about as shameless an act as any of the con temptible acts which murk Governor KuasolPs official career since Janu ary lit, 1897. The entire action, which tho Governor calls "a test case," is based not upon any particular merit, or even with an idea of justice, but the aiimutofit all is pure individual spite of the Governor's, one of his attempts "to get even" with an adversary, in order to gratify a per sonal grudge. This attempt to force railroads to do business at a rate to be deter mined by Governor Russell is an outrage, not merely upon the rail road people themselves, but upon all commercial interests of North Carolina It is no exaggeration to say that eighteen months of ltuasellisni h lost North Carolina millions of dol lars, besides the dishonor which has clouded the good namo of the State, which-mutt continue, until Ruttell ism is cast out. Daniel L. Ilisaell is too self -absorbed to look beyond himself,lience however much public interests are sucriGoed, and the State's good .name discredited by his rule at Gov ernor, there will be no let up until the man who assumes all, leaves the gubernatorial chair, and retires into obcurity where he rightly belongs.

' Craakast Pifcsi 1st Us S.I disss Altsswsl Ts sslv Sa B SlMffktavMl With ! Probably In do battle of modem tlmss was an army ever less prepared to face an enemy than were the Egyptian troops which Valentine Baker Pasha led to the relief of the beleaguered garrison of Tokar at the beginning of February, 1884. The force consisted of 1,400 Infantry under General Sartorlus, 800 Egyptian cavalry, 160 Turkish cavalry and 9,000 Sudanese. The Egyptians wore an un trained, cowardly lot, many of them there against their will, some having been brought to the front In ehalna, while their arms were only old and wornout muskets. No one knew better than Baker and the members of his staff, of which I was one, how llablo we ware to got beaten if we were attacked by the forces of Osman Dlgna. Only the night before the battle Bakor said that if the onemy attacked us on our march to Tokar in any force he had no doubts as to the disastrous results. "You see," he said, "all wo have to rely upon Is the Turkish cavalry and a few of tho drilled Sudanese. But If a panie en sues on an attack they have not stamina to hold the others and will fly with tliera. Oh, for Just one troop of the old Tenth hussars and a reglmont of the British line, and we would relieve Tokar tomorrow I" On Sunday evening we encamped about two milos from Trlnkltot with the expec tation of making an early morning start. Baker invited all the European officers to dine, and though wo were all more or loss cheerful, still wo Jiad a presoutlinont of coming disaster, though wo scarcely thought how terribly it would be realized the next day. At about 0 o'clock the next day, the 4th of February, wo had breakfast, and by 7 o clock our disastrous march was started. Three hundred baggage camels preceded our column; then came the infantry, while our cavalry skirmished on each flank, pro tecting us from sudden attack. We had not proceeded halt a mile boforo we noticed small bodies of tho enemy, who retreated on our approach. At 8 o'clock wo sighted quite a large body, and, halting, got one of our Kmpp guns unllmbcred and fired a few rounds at tho enemy, causing them to retreat. Wo had not continued our march ton minutes when there appeared on our right flank about a dozen Arab horsemen, who at about 800 yards' distance proceeded to ride down our linos with the evident in tention of estimating our force. The Turkish cavalry were sent in chase, but tho Arabs rode oil without one getting hit by the fire from our infantry or the cav alry being able to overtake them. Imme diately after a similar thing happened on our loft llauk, and while our attention was distracted thus a largo forcoof the enemy suddenly appeared in front. Or ders were at once given to form a square; but, though for days our troops had been mainly drilled in tluit one formation, when tho critical time arrived they fulled la mentably. Throe sides wore formed after a fushlon, but tho onemy poured in on the rourtli, thotr long lialr streaming, and to the distorted eyes of our troops they looked like an immense body of invincible devils. Our men, if they can be dignified by the name, implored for motvy, many of them on their knees, but uono was shown. Hacking and killing was the enemy's pro gramme, and it was carried out to the let tor, while our loft Hank continued firing aimlessly, killing many of our own cavalry. At the ttmo of the attack I was with Bakor Pasha and Abdul Kusme, an Egyp tian staff officer, with the Turkish cavalry, away from the main body. The llrst thing wo saw was the Egyptian cavalry engaged. and we at once made for the main body, rrom which wo wore cut off by tho enemy, who, however, were not nearly as danger ous as our own men, who fired right at ni as we endeavored to force our way Into our own ranks. Wo hud a hand to hand tussle with the enemy, in which poor Ab dul Russao was killed, but at last did aue coed in getting through. By this time our men had completely given way, and then commenced a rout that beggars descrip tion, ueneral (Sartorlus aid his best to hold his men and was ably seconded, not only by tho European officers, but also by ins bgypuan, cut all to no purpose. Mo- rioa Bey, Dr. letlie and Captain Walker were killed, as well as several Egyptian officers, In endeavoring to stand against tne enemy, who were probably 1,000 or i.buu strong. I never saw such abject displays of cow ardice in my life. Men just stood or knelt like sheep and let tho enemy kill them, and yet they had arms In their hands with which they could have protected them solves had they chosen and had not the long haired Arabs, shouting and gesticu lating as they charged down upon them, takon the last vestige of nervooutof them. Ono regiment of English Infantry oould hare held the enemy at bay, and with a troop of good cavalry Lavs wiped them off the fare of the earth. Officers struck at nan with tlio Out of their swords, even prodded them with the points, but to get thoin to rally was hopeless. An attempt was made by the cavalry at one point to cover the retreat, but only made matters worse, for they turned and charged right over our own men In their efforts to escape. I During tho retreat I scarcely ventured to any word to Baker l'asha, who was riding along gloomily and preoccupied, occasionally giving an order to head off a crowd and to try and rally them, but to stop that mob was like trying to stay the tides of the ocean. Nothing could induce them to rally. For Ore mllos tin carnage and butchery wore kept up, right Into Trlnkllat, where tin survivors might have been killed with tho grauUwt of ease, as they stood huddled up on the seashore, but the enemy withdrew, not knowing tliat an English gunboat which had been there the day before had left for Suakln. We estimated that fully t.000 men had been killed. Including live European and 90 nalivo officers, and aa soon as possible afterward tie troops wore traniorted to Suakln, D.iker being lent for duty with the British troops. The dofnnt at the Wells of Tub had ono good result It forced the Egyptian government to arm all Its troops properly. The blame for the defeat was kid by many at Baker Pasha's door, but those who did so oould not have rosily known the nature of the men he commanded, to any nothing of bow almmlnably they were arnica. Aut tliat on that occasion It mat tered what sort nf arms they had, for they would have thrown the beat (run pons down and have fallen Into the hands of the tiy.
