Can any Southern Democrat vote for Judge Parker without repudi ating everything he has stood for for many years % The Judge says : We must make a “reasonable re duction” of the tariff (h<5w much is that ?) aud fix a time far enough in the future for it to go into effect, so that it will not disturb the busi ness of the country a8 was formerly the case—meaning 1893 aud 1894 ; that the Republicans will have a majority in the Senate for the next four years, and we cannot revise the tarifi unless we .do it to' suit them. He cites twice in his speech the pro visions of the Fourteenth Amend ment to the Constitution of the U. S.; once against lynchings and other forms of violence, and again in fa vor ot the PhUipinos. H e knows that amendment was adopted on account of nine millions of negros; rhat it is perfectly odious to the Democrats who will furnish 151 of his electoral votes if he gets them, aud that it has Iong been repudiat ed by them, that they are now in dignant because the Republican party is demanding that represen tation be reduced in Congress and the electoral college in the same proportion as the number of South ern voters has been reduced—as required by said fourteenth amend ment, yet the onlv law the Judge sees fit to cite is the fourteenth amendment, which he cites twice. His Sorthern supporters claim that his speech is Constitutional ism against Roosevelt's Militarism, but the clause he quotes so glibly is the one his Southern supporters despise. IIe says trusts are large ly the creature < of the tariff; but that the old EBglisli common law is good enough to make them behave, if the officers will enforce it Sow the States enforce the common law and the federal court the federal statutes; and tho’ the Democratic platforms in the Sites aud Sation in ISO:*, on which Cleveland “ swept the country” w eieloud and em- nbiitic against trusts, nobody heard .if ll-pii- breaking up any trusts or TtnnitsbiBK. anv either. under the common: law or Sherman Anti- Trust la\v. (I Icnn and Aycock were U nit'd ini ites Districfc-Attor- Iieys then in Sorlh Carolina, and sixteen l.’em.tnrutic solicitors prose cute common law crimes here now. Yet it is commonly said that the Irdsts' are against Roosevelt and for V nrkerthisyear.? W hy? Because Riosevelt Iiad sonic of the biggest trust piw-ei uted. A Democratic national committeman said last Momiay that it was published in Tuesday’s Sew York Times, the most' reliable Democratic uewspa- per in the country, that James J. BLill, the head of a big trust that President Roosevelt had caused to be prosecuted and broken up, would give four hundred thousand dollars to the Parker campaign fund, and he would add at least another hun dred thousand dollars if he should be permitted to name Daniel S. Lnmoilt, Cleveland’s old Secretary, for Governor of Sewr York. It’s the fashion for Democrats to speak of Roosevelt as unsafe. Asked what he has done, indicating his nosa'eness, they admit his past acts have beeu safe aud many of them great; but they are afraid he will do something dangerous. It’s the trusts that started that talk. Trusts are against-those that are against them and for those who aie for (hem. It- is common talk in the papers that they will furnish the Democratic managers all the cam paign funds they need this j ear The anti trust plank at St. Louis was adopted in committee by a vote of 23 to 20. Mr. Bryan’s Western delegates forced it in, much to the disgust of Eastern members’. The Bepnblican plat' form while emphatic is mild by comparsion "with the Democratic platform on trusts, but Parker says the common law is bad enough for trusts and the trusts are for him aud against Roosevelt. A trust in a common law court would feel like Prer J abbitt in' the briar patch. Trusts know that Democratic states men don’t mean them any harm. Judge Parker did not mention the negro question except to refer twice with approval to the four teenth amendment. The Sew York Herald is for Parker. It printed much of his speech and Roosevelt’s in parallel columns, and suggested that there' was little difference be tween the two. The first thing m Jiuhre Parker's speech was a repe- UtiotIi ot his Gold Standard tele gram, in which he said the Gold Standard is “irrevocably settled. The Democratic platform in 189G and 1900 declared “ we are unaltera bly opposed to the Gold Standard, ■ an d as t h e . 1904. platform , w hich i ju d g e P a rk e r calls adm irable, is silen t on th a t su b ject we have th e n g h t to suppose they still m ean w h at th ey say by “ unalterable. J u d g e P a rk e r’s speech dw elt also oii M ilitarism as a p eiil, b u t a m i not say how m uch an n y 'w a s need ed The law allow s P resident Bo’osevclt to have 1 0 0 ,0 0 0 soldiers if lie th in k s th e country needs them , b u t he has only 59,000 inr.lndin;, o R icers1-- G eo rg e W a sh in g to n in IiM farewell address said : “ In time of peace prepare for war.” If yon will read both speeches of acceptance carefully you will see. that Judge Parkei-’s is different from President Roosevelt’s more in words than in ideas and when lie differs his mean ing is uncertain. He wants a rea sonable reduction of the tariff. How much is that I He don't want a large army. How large? He wants the Constitution and the law enforeed, especially the “common law” and the fourteenth amend ment. The threat to enforce this by Republicans has been donounc- ed by every Southern Democratic newspaper. That’s what Southern Democrats get by nominating a man with unknown views. Mr. Kitcheu was right. They ought to have made him speak and tele graph too Iieforenominating him. T. T. H ick s. Henderson, S . C.> Aug. 12, ’04. B lB E D S E tE S A T E S . Shamefully memorable as the year of packed conventions and hired delegates, has been this year in Sorth Carolina politics. If no other voice be raised in protest, this paper will go on rec ord against the almost wholesale debauching of delegates in State and District eon ventions. A prac tice here has sprung up so rank, so disgraceful, and if contiuued, so damuing to good government, that it is a duty to speak. A nascent to be silent. By no word here used, is it meant that any man has been deliberate ly paid a price in money or prom ised one for his . vote. W hat is meant is, that hundreds, even thonsauds. of delegates, have been offered and have accepted, railroad fare and tailroad passes upon a con tract to support some candidate. This thing has been done by men wIio are considered good citizens. It should never be done again The men who pay,, the candidates and their friends and those whose way is paid, have suffered from strange obliquity of moral vision. IIoreiiPer let all men see that to pay a man’s way to a convention to vote for a caudidate, is to pay that man to vote for that candidate. It is the offer and the acceptance of a bribe. Ilowan county has lost some prestige through this practice. In the name of party pride, personal honesty, common decency, let there be no more of it. Let an offer to a good citizen to pay his way on a certain condition be treated at what it is on its face value—an insult. This thing smells to higlr heaven that it has been done by individu als and co-operated in, in some cases by railroads. Democrats, take away the reproach.—Salis bury Globe, Democrat. «?8S, ¥. 0.

SAKAflROFF’S LOSS BEAVY After an All-Day Engagement Along Their Whole Front, the Russians Retired Slowly Toward AnShan- shan—A Series of Fanatical At tacks by the Japanese, the Rus sians Retiring With Various Losses Except on the Right Flank, St. Petersburg, By Cable.—The gen eral staff has received the following telegram from General Sakharoff, dat ed August 27: “Advance guards and advance troops or. the southern front Saturday re tired slowly towards the fortified posi- tition at Anshanshan. Rifle Are was general along the whole frost. The Japanese artillery cannonaded our po sitions at different points. Our guns poured a heavy fire into the columns of the Japanese as they advanced, and into their works and entrenchments, and eventually compelled them tc move their vast camp from Pamiana to the village of Biassiaza. “At 6 o’clock in the evening there was a lull in the firing. The hottes; fighting occurred on our left flank or the south front, where the losses amounted to 200. During the nigh: our advance guards retired to the principal position. Five divisions oi the enemy took the offensive against our south front. “Our troops repelled towards the southeast all attacks of the Japanese directed against their front, while oui troops on the right flank, taking the offensive towards evening, drove the Japanese back on Tounsinpu. Oui losses on the southeast front were about 400. "Our detachment on the east yester day had a desperate fight against con siderable forces of the enemy. “On the right flank, our infantry, though unsupported by artillery, and though the Japanese were at all points superior numerically, firmly and cour ageously repulsed the attacks begun during the night by the enemy on the advanced positions of Tsegow and An- ping. This affair culminated In sharp bayonet lighting and. some of our regi mental ofldcers received sword, bayonet and revolver wounds. After desperate fighting on the advanced positions in Tsegow and Anping, our troops retired on the main positions supported by ar tillery. “The Tamboff Regiment, on the left flank at Tsegow, defended an advanced position from I o’clock in the morning until 4 o’clock in the afternoon, repel ling all the enemy’s attacks at the point of the bayonet. There were four counter attacks. The commander of the regiment. Colonel Klembosky, was wounded. "A turning movement by the enemy against the left flank of the Tsegow position and the enfilading Are of their batteries on Kharouiou heights forced the Tambouff Regiment to retire, and the retreat was effected in good order. Six guns were abandoned, but they were broken and rendered useless. The Japanese attacked like fanatics, and their losses must have been very great. “A wounded Japanese officer, who was taken prisoner, escaped observa tion after his wound had been dressed, and killed himself by dashing his head against the stones. “Our troops captured a considerable number of rifles, caps and other ar ticles of eqillpiheflt Ifbta th% Japanese. Odr IbflSbs oh this front have dot been definitely ascertained, but they exceed 1,500 killed or woufided. “Notwithstanding the long and des perate fighting and the consequent fa tigue, the spirit of our troops was as alert as ever, and id the darkness of night, with fain falling heavily and transforming the ground into liquid mud, they executed the necessary movements, headed by their bands, in perfect order. “On August 27 the enemy had not assumed any definite offensive move ment at any point hlohg the whole front and bur troops retired !gradually to new positions. At aboilt 2 o’clock in the after'nbb'a it whs discovered that the Japanese were moving on Taem- pine by way of Youdioukau.” Getting Near Port Arthur. Chefoo, By Cable. — Information which to a very great extent confirms previous reports of the condition at Port Arthur was receiyed here by junks which left there on August 24 and August 26. The most important statement agreed to by passengers on these junks who were interviewed by the correspondent >f the Associated Press confirms the •eports that the Russians have been iriven ffom the fbft Immediately east if the-Dragoofi Hills, along the sum mits of iVhich the eastern defenses of Port Arthur are built. When the Rus- -Jan forces retired from Fort Ktseshan .hey entered Fort Number 15, to the north of Chacochanko. During the nights of August 18 and 19, while it was raining, the Japanese attempted to storm Fort Antszshan, Which is a strong position adjoining Etseshan to ward the city, but they 'were repulsed with heavy losses. During the night of August 22 a he roic band of 500 Japanese attempted to capture Fort Number 5 in the midst of a storm. Almost the entire detachment was killed. The Chinese declare, how ever, that the Russians have evacuated Fort Number §, but Whether by rea son of this assault or the Japanese ar tillery fire cannot be learned. The Jap anese are unable to occupy Number 5. The fighting from August 17 to Au gust 21 was severe, but since the latter date it has been comparatively light On August 26 the fort on Liaoti Moun tain was fired on from six Japanese torpedo boats, but the result of the action has not been known. The Rus sian marines have left the ships in the harbor and are working at the land batteries. Shells from the Japanese fire continue to fall In Port Arthur and the dock yards, and the warships have scattered about the harbor in attempts to protect themselves from the enemy’s projectiles.A Chinese who was employed on the docks at Port Arthur says that the battleships Retvizan, Poltava and Se vastopol are badly damaged. The first mentioned ship rests Iov/ In the water by the stem. The battleship Pobieda is in fighting condition. There are four gunboats and several torpedo boat de stroyers In the harbor. Suicide at SL Louis. St. Louis, Special.—A man supposed from papers found in a coat left lying on the bridge, to be Frank McCormick, of Winter Haven, Fla., committed sui cide by leaping from the Eads bridge into the Mississippi river. A watchman saw the man climb to the railing, but not in time to prevent him jumping. Four Killed by Tonado, Poisoning Case at Augusta, Ga. Augusta, Ga., Special.—Mary Belle Devin is dead, and Joseph Manseo is seriously ill, as the result of eating bread which had been poisoned with rough on rats mixed in the flour. Neal Williams, who is on bond under the charge of larceny, is wanted by the police In connection with the crime. Manseo probably will recover. Jefferies Wins Fight. San Francisco, Special—Like the veriest amateur in the prize ring, Jack Munroe, of Butte, Mont., went down and out before Champion James Jeff ries Friday night in the second round, manking an extremely sorry showing, In Mechanics’ Pavilion, and was roundly hooted by the large crowd gathered. The two giants had not been In the ring two minutes when it was foreseen that the aspirations of Mun roe would be quickly dispersed. The mner was scared and awkward, and Jeffries, in the first round, had him twice on the cavas, taking the count. Must Disarm at Shanghai. Washington, Special.—Japan has ad dressed a note to the powers informing them that unless Russia forthwith dis arms her warships in Shanghai, Japan will be forced to take whatever steps she deems necessary to protect her in terests. Mr. Takhira, the Japanese minister, called at the State Depart ment and left with Mr. Adee, the Act ing Secretary of State, the communica tion of the Tokio government. Japanese Batteries Silenced.S t Petersburg, By Cable.—A dis patch from Chefoo, dated August 22, says that according to Chinese re ports the Japanese bombarded Port Arthur from 6 o’clock In the morn ing to I o’clock In the afternoon, pouring in a heavy fire, but that the Russians succeeded in silencing the Japanese batteries. The Japanese fleet was not engaged, having put further out to sea. Jamestown, N, Y., Special—Four per sons lost their lives and several others were injured In a tornado that swept through Chautauqua county Thursday.

Cl-T h e belief of the officers of the State Depaittmeht that the situntioa at Uhanghaii China, Whicll reached the acute stage some tiirn-i Sgd through the refusal of the RussIaii Consul-General to comply with the orders of the Taotai of Shang hai that the Eussiau warships now re pairing at that port either leave or dis arm, -would ultimately work out its own solution, hag been borne out by the official advices from TTUited States Consul-General Gdodnewvl received at the State DepaMiuent.

J rhls. action Ib not uuespscted, al though it was not believed that the de cision of vile Russion Government SJ 6 annouuCed quite so soon.Through the extension of time grant- ed the Russian vessels by the Wai- wupu, or Foreign Office, the Askold and Grosovoi obtained some days lee way to leave the port or disarm. It is believed here; however, from the meagre information ih possession of the State Department, that the sugges tion of the British Consul at Shanghai to the dock company at whose yard the cruiser Askold was undergoing repairs, and which is owned by English capital, that work on the vessel be immediately stopped, had something to do with the early announcement of the Russian decision. It is considered probable by officers here that the dock company took the suggestion of the British Cansul to heart and refused to proceed with the repairs to the Russian cruisers. In this event Russia, of course, would recognize that nothing couid be gained by a postponement of her decision, particularly as each day of delay made the situation more grave, and conse quently announced that the vessels would disarm entirely and remain at the port until the close of hostilities. As It is, the Japanese will probably advance the claim that the Russian vessels which sought refuge in Shang hai in an unserviceable condition be long to her by right, but this conten tion, which it is believed will result unfavorably .to the Japanese, can be decided In good time. Officers of the State Department are much encouraged at the clearing away of one of the blackest clouds that have hung over China since the advance on Pekin by the Allies in 1900, and which for a time seemed to threaten the neutrality and even the Integrity of the Flowery Kingdom. ■ KILLED IN TORNADO.

The people who took refuge under the trees were caught by the falling branches and either killed or injured. Many horses were killed in the same manner. Some of the animals stampeded, trampling upon the injured people who were lying on tbe ground. The buildings in the vicinity were blown down and others nnrooofed.

J.—Alfred Davis, a veteran of the Life Saving Service, was drowned In the surf here through the ill-advised effort of a large crowd of bathers to aid Himi DdvlS wits him* self Shdeavdrihg td rescud twd ineit who were being !swept td sea-, %iierij through the efforts bf the crowd; he lost his own life. The first of the two men to endanger himself was James Rowley, a clerk In the S t Charles'Hotel. He is a good swimmer and ventured out beyond a sand bar which hag recently been thrown op by the sea, nod between which and the shore tbe more timorous bathers find. It jjleastirabli to. Unger: When lid M d Reached it polnt about on a line with the end of a long pier near by, he was caught in a powerful eddy, and was being rapidly carried away from the shore. In response to his cries for help U fe Guard George B. Conover had gone to his rescue. Conover, realizing that the line at tached to the life buoy was Jiot long enough ta reach to Rowley, detached it. He then ran with the buoy across the sandbar and plunged into the surf with it. He was soon alongside of Rowley, and there began what ap peared to the bathers and others on the shore a hopeless struggle on the part of Conover to get Rowley in. Soon It was feared that both men would lose their lives, DaviS took ii hand ifi the struggle at this juncture. He cut loose the life line entirely, tied one end of It under his arms, and sprang In, deter mined to aid his feliow-guard and the man whom he was endeavoring to save. Before he reached the two men, however, a boat manned with more life guards had reached and saved Rowley and Conover. As Davis was about to turn back, either because it was supposed that he Was sow himself ia danger, or merely prompted by a desire to get him to shore more quickly, some one grabbed the end of the line which was still floating between the sandbar and the shore and started to run townrd the beach with It. In another minute a horde of men and women bathers had hold of the rope and were hastening shoreward. Davis was drawn In so rapidly that he was rendered helpless, and his body was under water much of the time. As he was dragged upon the beach a cheer went up from the crowd. Those who had helped pull him in, as well as the onlookers, thought that a splendid rescue had been achieved. They were soon undeceived. Davis was motionless. Efforts to revive him failed. The speed with which he had been drawn through the water had forced the water into his lungs and through his mouth and nostrils with such force as to choke him. OIL FIRE IN ANTWERP. Standard CKl and Russian Company’s Tanks Destroyed. Antwerp.—AU tbe oil tanks at Hobo ken, about three miles from here, con taining about 26,500,000 gallons of pe troleum, were on fire. The wind was strong and the effort to subdue the flames seemed to be futile. The fire started at the Russian com panies’ tanks through the ignition of escaping gas, and the flames quickly spread to the Standard Oil Company’s tanks. A high wind fanned the fire. Troops assisted the firemen to localize the conflagration. . The Standard Oil’s nine tanks con tained 60,000 barrels of oil. They are a total loss, but were Insured for $240,- 000. One Russian oil firm lost 120,000 bar rels, Insured for $180,000. SAWED THROUGH CELL BARS. Friends Aided. Man Accused , of Rob bing Postoffice to Escape.

While some of the festivities usual on such occasions, for instance, the state banquet, were omitted en account of the grave struggle in which the country is engaged, nothing was dis- cernabls at Peterliof to put the slightest damper on the christening day. From every angle and corner of the palace flags waved. The historic Wall Fountains, stretching In magnificent vista below the palace terrace, broke into snowy foam and raiubow spray in the clear sunlight, The soldiers of the Guards, brilliant in tlie imperial uni forms, moved In a continual swirl of color around tbe doorways of tbe pal ace. Over perfect roads, beneath stately overhanging trees, the procession moved through the royal park, a beau tifully composed, slowly changing pic ture, perfect to its smallest detail. It was beaded by the Master of the Impe rial Household, his uniform a blaze of gold and decorations. He was sur rounded by a retinue of officials only a little less brilliant. The centre of interest, of course, was the golden state carriage, drawn by eight milk-white horses, with outriders and walking grooms, in which sat tlie Princess Gaiatzin; Mis'.’ess of the Em press’ Household, with the Imperial heir. The procession passed through the palace to the church. The royal salons were filled with a most brilliant assemblage. The Emperor, his face wreathed In smiles and w ifi the Dowager Empress on his arm. led tbe pro cession, followed by the other members of the imperial family, the baby bring ing up tbe rear. Inside tbe cbapel were assembled M. Pobiedonostzeff. Procurator-General of tbe Holy Synod, and the members of the Holy Synod, the Diplomatic Corps, and imperial guests from every court in Europe. . Tbe christening party gathered at the jewel-incrusted font. The baby was carried by Princess Gaiatzin, and the cushions on which the child was borne was supported by General Reichter and Prince Dolgorouki, Aides de Camp to the Emperor. The spon sors represented an Emperor aud an Empress, two Kings, one Princess and four Grand Duchesses. The Czar issued a lengthy manifesto on the occasion of tlie christening of the heir to the throne. It is Intro duced by the following message to the people: ‘By the will of God, we, the Czar and Autocrat of all the Rnssias, Czar of Poland, Grand IJhke of Finland, etc., announce to our faithful subject; that on this, the day of the christening of our son and heir, the Grand Duke Alexis Nlcholaevitch, following the promptings of our heart, we turn to our great family of the empire, and with the deepest and most heartfelt pleasure, even amid tbese times of na tional struggle and difficulty, bestow upon them some gifts of our royal fa vor for their greater enjoyments in their daily lives.” The -various benefits bestowed on many classes are then enumerated at length.

It has recently been discovered.that the germs that produce Malaria, breed and multiply in.the intestines and from there spread throughout the system by means of the blood. This fact explains why Malaria is hard to cure by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron1 etc.. stimulate the nerves and build.up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that cause the disease. Bydale’s Tonic has a specific effect upon the intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding microbes.. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich aud hnalfchy.UYDALE S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer* Try it; it will not disappoint you.

DIKED DELEGATES. Shamefully memorable as the year of packed - conventions and hired delegates, has been this year in !forth Carolina politics. If no other voice be raised in protest, this paper will go on rec ord against the almost wholesale debauching of delegates in State and District eon ventious. A prac tice here has sprung tip so rank, so disgraceful, and if continued, so damuing to good government, that it is a duty to speak. A n ascent to be silent. By no word here used, is it meant that any man has been deliberate ly paid a price in money or prom ised one for his' vote. W hat is meant is, that hundreds, even thousands, of delegates, have been offered and have accepted, railroad fare and railroad passes upon a con tract to support some candidate. This thing has been done by men who are considered good citizens. It should never be done again The men who pay, the candidates and their friends and those whose way is paid, have snftered from strange obliquity of moral vision. Hereafter let all men see that to pay a .man's way to a convention to vote for a candidate, is to pay that man to vote for that, candidate. It is the offer and the acceptance of a bribe, Howan connty has lost some prestige through this practice. In the iwrne of party pride, personal honesty, common decency, let there be no more of it. Let an offer to a good citizen to pay his way on a certaiu condition be treated at what it is on its face value—an insult. This thing smells to high heaven that it has been done by individu als and co-operated in, in some cases l>y railroads. Democrats, take away the reproach.—Salis bury Globe, Democrat. That’s a terrible indictment of Democratic debauchery of dele gates. A party that will carry hired delegates by the wholesale to conventions should not. be entrust ed with ndministeiing the laws of our country. Money was sent to lavie oountv. so we are informed, land niou curried to Greensboro j who did not have moiiev enough to pav a fare to W iiistou. Oi e Dem ocratic candidate for Congress in the Stli District wrote out checks to be used in paying delegates ex penses. and lie was not nominated either. The people should remem ber all these thiugs when they go to vote next November. Iieves that Mr..Roosevelt-ever made such a remark in a public speech. H e denies it,and the committee will do well to take him at his word and be done with such pitiful clap trap. ‘ ‘TheTimes-Dispatch is very anxi ous to see Mr. Boosevelt .defeated, but it is unwilling to stoop to mud- flinging, Let us have a clean cam paign. Both the candidates are clean men, ancl there is no excuse for throwing dirt. If the Repub licans wish to engage it, let ’em. The Democrats cannot afford it.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch1 The above is taken from the leading Democratic, paper in V ir ginia, and shows its opinion of the small methods resorted to by his own party to get votes. Such methods cannot, and will not long er be tolerated by the people in this country. DR. L. P. SO M BBSt . W ilkes, Yadkin and Davie coun ties met in Senatorial Convention, Thursday, A ug. 18 and uouiiiinted Dr. L. P. Somers of W ilkes county for the Senate. D r. Somers is a nice gentleman and deservedly popular, and we are glad he has secured the nomination, as a nom ination in that district is equival ent to election.—Elkin Times. That is a nice compliment from a Democratic paper, about the Re publican candidate for the Senate iu this District. Dr. Somers will be elected by a large majority and will make a splendid representa tive in the next legislature. T h e Democrats of W estV irginia will not make the negro question an issue in their campaigu this fall, A t their State convention a few of the members wasted to insert a “ Lily W hite” .plank in the plat form but this met with opposition on the part of Davis* their candi date for Vice-Pi-Csident. and his fell low ing.

This shows that when it comes to the pinch that the ‘’W hite Suprem acy " are willing to swallow the negro when they thm k there is any h(»pe of g.uning his vote by so do ing.—Caucasian. «*»B. f . 0 .

Tokio, Japan.—TUg Hussians Tvere driven from the heights south of Liao- Yang at dawn by the forces of Gen eral Okn and General Nodzut which occupy the left and the centre, respec tively, of the Japanese line. The Russians were in full retreat, with the-Japanese pursuing. General Kuroki’s army, 011 the Jap anese right, crossed the Tai-Tso River to attack General Kuropatkiu’s forces in the rear. The Jiji announces that the assault on Liao-Yang began simultaneously on all sides. The town was occupied after continuous and severe fighting since the previous morning. The whole Japanese army began pursuing the Russians. There is a universal belief that Gen eral Ivuropatkin suffered au over whelming defeat in giving the Japan ese possession of Lmo-Yang. The Government will not confirm this. It has issued nothing later than the report of the successful rush at dawn whereby the Japanese left pierced the Russian line on the heights four miles south of Liao-Yang and west of Skou- shanf compelling tbe enemy to with draw from tbe right and centre posi tions with the victors in pursuit. - It is known that the success to which several days’ fighting led Iras been gained at au enormous sacrifice of life, but the various guesses as to the number of casualties are worthless. Field Marshal Oyama, the Japanese commander-in-chief, telegraphs that he lost heavily in assaulting Liac- Yang, but gives no figures. General Kurold admits that his losses were 2225 between August 24 and August 28. The other commanders have made no report of their losses. Au estimate of 25,000 casualties on both sides is not regarded as excessive. ST. PETERSBURG ANXIOUS. St. Petersburg, Russia.—Geueral Sak- haroff, in a dispatch to the Czar, re ports that a portion of Kuroki’s army, which has occupied the extreme right of the Japanese line ou the south bank of the Tai-Tse River, crossed the riv er at Sakan Kankwantum, where there is a loop. A division of infantry, with cavalry and artillery, crossed first and covered the advance of the rest of Kuroki’s troops. After fording the river, the Japan ese advanced on Liao-Yang in two bod ies, the first marching west and the other proceeding by way of the You- tai mines. % hopefulness has given place to anx iety. The General Staff announces that General Kuropatkin has aban doned Liao-Yang and withdrawn his forces to the north bank of the Tai-Tse •River, but it encourages confidence in his ability to hold the railway, for the defence of which elaborate forti fications of great strength were con structed. Nevertheless, these non-of ficials who have an intelligent interest in the war, are gravely apprehensive that the Japanese are across the rail way line and that Liao-Yang is surrounded. The briefness of General SakharoffVs mention of the crossing of the Tai-Tse Etver is regarded as of unpleasant sig nificance in view of the obvious im portance of such a movement. The report that the Russians captured forty-six guns from the Japanese In- the previous fighting has not been confirmed officially. The Russian losses iu the fighting duriug the day of retreat are now stated to have been 5000. It is reported that General Linis- vitch, the commander of the Vladivo stok district, is now within two davs march of Mukden with 30,000 men. In the last four hours of the day the Japanese fired an immense number of projectiles, and the Russiaa positions ,were searched by tbe Japanese shrap nel. The Russians maintained a stub born defence the whole day. They were exposed to a hail of shrapnel, but . defended the positions intrusted to them with desperate bravery. After preparing for the assault with artillery the Japanese repeatedly at tached the Russian positions. Some of the advanced fortifications passed into the Japanese hands after a stub- •; Judge Gray to Arbitrate.

The Japanese left a nurnler of dead. After each bayonet engagement the Russians dug pits iu front of their po sitions. These in some cases were completely filled with Japanese corpses. The Japanese losses must have bed. enormous. The dispatch adds! “The night passed quietly. Up to C o'clock in the morning there had been no movement on either side.” General Stackelberg was slightly wounded, but remained i I the fighting hue. The news of the evacuation of Liao- Yang and the withdrawal Of the Rus1 Siail arlny to the fight baiik Of the Ta!1 Tse Rivef reached only a small section of the people of St, Petersburg at a late hour and caused intense excite ment and disappointment. The niajority of the* inhabitants re tired to rest, believing that Rnssian arms had again been successful, and that the Japanese attacks had been repelled. Ugly suspicions, howevtr, had been rife during the day, owing to the ab sence of press telegrams from JJao- Yang, leadiug to the belief that the communications had been cut by General Ivurok i, The following statement wa.s Ob1 tained by The Associated Press from the Waii Ohice at 10 o’clock at night. “General Kuroki’s army crossed in force to the light bank of the Tai-Tse River, and it therefore became neces sary for the Russians to .be in a posi tion to repel a blow in this direction. “In view of this development in the operations, General Ivuropatkin decid ed to abandon his positions 011 the left bank and to concentrate his whole army on the other side otithe river. This position is the strougejs^Jboth in character and site. “By withdrawing to this position the Russian army avoids the danger of being divided by the river, and enjoys the advantage of compactness, “General Ivuropatkin’s move, there fore, is not to be considered as a re treat, but rather as the carrying out of a well-defined idea.” The determined pursuit by the Jap anese of the Russian outposts when General Kuropatkin gave the first or der to withdraw was probably due to their anxiety to keep the Russians south of Liao-Yang Until General Ku- roki should beable to strike from the northeast. General Kuropatkin1 how ever, saw the trap and cleverly avoided it. A correspondent of The Associated Press at Vladivostok telegraphed that the Japanese are relying on the aid of a gunboat UotilIa for future operations against Liao-Yang and Mukden. The gunboats, the correspondent says have not yet materialized, but in any case they would be in no position to render aid to a force on the right bank In tune of need because they would be unable to run the gauntlet of the forts at Liao-Yang. The strongest forts are situated on the right bank, where the Russian army Is now concentrated. BATLE HAS BEATEN RECORDS. Ifhe fighting at Liao-Yaug has beaten all records for the desperate valor of the assailants and the stubbornness of the defenders. The whole history of warfare tells of no such bombard- ments, no such carnage, and no such persistency. Day after day the fight has been resumed at daybreak and kept up with scarce a moment’s intermission until after nightfall. War-scarred veterans scarcely believe the stories which come from the seat of war, and declare that it is beyond human endurance for an army to fight without respite for a whole week, efch day of which has exceeded its prede cessor in the intensity of struggle and greatness of slaughter.

They had been the foremost of five excava tors who were digging a trench for a water pipe under the crossing at East New York avenue and Bristol street. When the jolting of a passing car caused a great mass of loosened earth to fall and imprison them the other three managed to jump back in time to escape unhurt, and a score of .onlook ers sent lip a cry of hOrrOf at what .appeared td be the sudden annihilatioii Of the two less fSrtunate diggers:. ... It was through the quick action of a tenement house inspector, Joseph Mc- Sweeney, and the aid of a piece of old rubber hose that the two men, Anthony Gonsolmd aiid Salvatore GaprieO:. were rescued'after they had suffered and prayed in their dark prison for more than fifty minutes. McSweeney seemed to be the only spectator who though there was any hope when the cave-in occurred. Grasping the hose, which had been used as a water pipe in mixing mortar near by, he shouted, to some workmen to follow him, and with their help began to push the end of the hose into the loose soil under which the exdavatdrs Iajf hiddeii: “Get the air ip,” he shouted: “and Wd may save them;” r Under McSweeney1S orders many men went to work with pick and sho vel, racing against time to remove the mass of sand. Soon the workers and the spectators had increased in num bers,- until the street was packed with a shouting, excited throng that filled the whole block. The reserves of the Brownsville police station were called and came at double quick. Two companies of firemen, one from an engine house and another from a hook and ladder headquarters, turned out to aid in the rescue. A priest, Father Ed ward Brophy, arrivedjind stood at the edge of the excavation; ready to de1 scend and administer the last rites as soon as the doomed laborers were reached. Two ambulances, one from St. Mary’s .-ad the other from the Bradford Street Hospital, clattered into the crowd, and two young surgeons leaped down into the out and stood prepared with their instrument bags and restoratives. When almost an hour had passed, and the rescuers were ready to drop in their tracks, the foremost pick made an opening into the hole where Golsol- mo and Caprice were entombed. As the surgeons and priest jumped in the two men struggled to their feet, dazed, weak and still prayiug, as they said they had done continuously, but not much tl-e worse for their experience.

It is too early to ascertain whether any damage re sulted from this cool spell; but it is be- lived that it was of too short a dura tion to affect any of the growing crops. ThS (jetton bells are beginning to op en in the eastern iiaif (if §tdt6; but the crop, as a whoie, made flol improvement during the week, although the weather during the first half was favorable; on tbe Cbntraryj the crop seems to be de clining ,and the Cbnjplaiiits of damage by rust, shedding and turning yellow are just as numerous from all parts of the State as during the week before.

No definite conclusion was arrived at. Mr. S. C. Beckwith, of the board, was inter viewed and said: “We reached no conclusion. Ballard has not made up his mind yet. As for myself I am opposed to a lease, quite strongly so, in fact. I do not take any stock in the idea that the State cannot manage its own property. Of course if Ballard takes the same view It of course blocks any lease. • We can reject or ratify. The State proxy is absolutely under our direction. This is an admitted fact.

Flerfglirfgs Reared in Strange Way on, i Baltimore Piazza. A robin's Jirfst In a rocking chair on a porch used every day by the fam ily had been a curiosity at the home of Mv Giliet Gill, at Roland Park, nea the Baltimore Country Club. The nest: has been tbe home of a family ot the: .birds, and in it eggs were hatched and! three little birdies first saw the light.. The BfiSt was first noticed some weeks ago by Mr. Gill. It was built between thfi seat and back of a rustic rocking chair, the center one of sev eral on the porch. Meanbess of Mr. GUI’s family and their guests use the porch almost continually, and the robin was interrupted many times, it is thought, when it was looking for a building site. Mt. GiU determined to let the home of the'robin remain for. a while at. IeasL He was warned that cats might disturb the serenity of Mr. and Mrs. Robin’s nest, and the rocking chair was lifted on cords until it was out of the way . of feline prowlers. Thsa watching of the Gill family was finally,' rewarded by the appearance of three: tiny birds. The suspended rocking chair has: become an object of wonder for resi dents, who were delighted when they- learned that suburban life at Roland' Park was so quiet that: robins built on the same sites as human folk.

Old Cnma as T able Decorations. Georgina, countess of Dudley, is said to Iia'?: been the first hostess who Sraspeii the possibilities of old pieces of gold and silver as table decorations. '01(1 china lends itself to this pur pose as readily, as was proved at the dinner party given by Baron and Bar eness Alphonse do Rothschild this week in their fine mansion, Rue Saint Florontin. The flowers were the price less orchids for which the baron’s con- Ecrraiories at Ferrieres are celebrated, and the golden and mauve tints of the esgishe blossoms were thrown into harmonious relief by the pieces of green Se. res china placed on the table. A London hostess not long ago made a sensation by decorating her table entirely with La France roses and using a dinner service of pink Sevres, middling the flowers perfectly. —London Graphic. Projectiles With PotdIitG Wings Made by Austrian Inventor. ThS Austro-Hungarian military au thorities are experimenting with a new form of long range projectile. At present Immense force Is wasted In raising the projectile to the height necessary to the euifve it describes in the air. A shot fired in a horizontal line toward its objective, or with a low trajectory, has greater penetrat ing power, and this is the ideal of every artillerist. The Austrian invention is suggested by the rapid swoop of a hawlt, .J J ? 9 ,tf tf. 1.3 ? tt6d * lth 6fsteel which fold fan-wise into a groove; immediately on leaving the fljflzzls 6f the gun these Steel pinions are re- ItaJiLte & Sowerfid spring, and A t M eacb side o£ the shell.At the same time, other steel blades, which are folded in a tube In the to terior of the shell, are released Ifl the same way from the rear of the jpro- t nd> sTteading but, aid in maintaining a horizontal flight like the outspread tail of a bird.

When the writer was about to marry, the wife of a well-known judge gave her this advice: "My dear, a woman needs the wis dom of Solomon, the patience of Job and the meekness of a dove to get along with the best man that ever lived. I have my third husband, all good men, but all cranky at times. When they are cranky, keep still; when they fret, hold your tongue, and always remember that it takes two to make a QiiarreL'* In writing to the dear old lady af ter some years of experience at the headquarters of an army, where I was surrounded by some thirty-thott* sand men, I took occasion to say: "The more I see of men the better I like them; and as to quarreling, you are quite right. I should like to add that your admirable advice might per haps be supplemented by adding: ‘Ex ercise tact, and spell it large.' Tact will win nine times out of ten where open hostility and aggressiveness fails.” The response was:* "You are right; we are improving with each generation.”—National Magazine. USS M . .....

Berlin, Germany. — Princess Lonise of Cobnvg, whose relations with Kegto rich Mattasiteb, the former lieutenant In the Austrian Hrinyi Sahsed a great scandai in Eiiropeah royal circles seven years ago, and who since had been kept under the closest restraint, has vanished from Bad Elster, where she has been taking the cure, It Is presumed that the Princess is in the company of Mattasitch, and is seeking to gain an asylum where she will be safe from recapture. The escape of the Princess was ac complished in a mysterious and roman tic manner, ladders and a swift auto mobile being brought into play to effect her release from the hotel where she had been immured almost as a prison er and to convey her to some refuge, the location of which is as yet a mystery. Not the slightest traces of the where abouts of the pair was discovered and nothing was known beyond the fact that the Princess and another guest of hotel, beiieved to have been Matta sitch, have disappeared and with them the jewels of the Princess and an automobile. Ou account of the long lapse of time since the original scandal the watch on the Princess had become slightly re lated, but it was made more stringent than ever when it was noticed that ef forts to communicate with the Princess personally and through the medium of notes ivere being made. Nevertheless, arrangements for the flight were successfully completed, and the room of the Princess was found empty. Various surmises as to her destination were afloat, and it is said that orders have been given to watch the borders qt Pavaria1 Austria, France and Switzerland. The first elopement of the Princess i Louise de Saxe-Coburg-Goiha with Count Mattasitch, a lieutenant in the Austrian army, caused a sensation in European court circles. 'She is the eld est daughter of King Leopold, who. since her elopement, has sought to ' show that she was insane. _ The Princess was sent to a secret sanitarium. She was really a prison er. There King Leopold kept her in close .confinement, permitting no one to see her and Torcing her to live in com- 1 parative want. Mattasitch has made several at- tempts tcr rescue the Princess. Last i April he made the attempt in an auto- j mobile, but failed. A month later he S believed he had her guards bribed. But he overlooked one, who exposed the conspiracy. At the death of the Queen of Bel gium, her mother. King Leopold openly snubbed the Princess, refusing to permit her to attend the funeral services.

WED WITH BULLET'IN HEAD. Put There When Danbury Man Wor ried i er First Wife's Illness. Danbury, Conn.—Less than a year ago' Alexander Friedman, of this city, hovered for many days betwepu life and death as a result of an attempt to commit suicide by she oting himself in the temple with a revolver. The cause of the act was melancholia over the se rious illness his wife, then a patient in a Hartford hospital. A few lours after the news of her husband’s attempt at self destruction eached her, Mrs. Friedman died. The iistol bullet thi.t entered Friedman’s head at that time is still there. The other day be arrived home, Dringing with him a bride whom he had just married in New York City. Mr, and Mrs. Friendmau have been *nv a short wedding trip, and are now at home at S2 Garfield avenue, In this city. Wasted, Conii,-Mrs. Anna Spehcer1 wife bf- the Rev, G; A, Speficerl of Greenwich, ah it daughter of Br, Ail- dhew Hartweii, Of Judd'S Bridge, who was recently sandbagged and robbed of $5000 after he had drawn the money from bank to buy bogus bonds, w4i iieid up by a roan oil a lonely road iii th.e. Sutskirts of New Milford. The highwayman fired several shots at Mrs. Spencer, but she had been on her guard since the receipt of a lot of threatening letters by the members of her family, and fired at her: assailant, probably wounding him. , Mrs. Spencer drove alone from the Hartwell home to New Milford in the morniug and deposited a sum of money In the bank there. While driv ing home a man who resembled a tramp in dress emerged from a thicket and grabbed her horse by the bit. The animal reared, whereupon the man shot twice at Mrs. Spencer. Neither shot took effect. The highwayman then went back to the wagon and seized Mrs. Spencer by the wrist, evidently with the intention of robbing her of whatever valuables she might have. The woman pulled a twenty-two calibre revolver from her pocket and shot the highwayman. She believes the shot took effect in his left breast. The uianimmediately returned the fire, the bullet grazing Mrs. Spen cer’s left shoulder and burning a small hole in her dress.. He then ran into the Woods. Mrs. Spencer drove back to her father's home, secured a rifle, and re turned to New Milford and notified the authorities of the crime. JEhe highwayman got about three hours’ start. A posse heavily armed, headed by the Bev. Mr. Spencer and including every ofllcer and constable in New Milford, went out in quest of Mrs. Spencer’s assailant. SIost of those who participated in the hunt returned to New SIilford at night empty handed. A supposed IraiI of blood was found leading from the road to the woods. That the attack on Sirs, Spencer was premeditated develops from the story toid to the authorities Iiy Miss Galvin, daughter of Edwiu Galvin, who says she was stopped on the same road tha t morniug by a man answering the de scription of Sirs. Spencer’s assailant who asked, “Are you Mrs. Spencer?’ Miss Galvin answered that she was not, and the man let her drive on. The Rev. Galeii 0. Spencer, when asked about his wife’s bravery, said: “I am not surprised to hear that she hit the-highwayman, but I wish she had had a larger revolver with her. She is an expert shot with a rifle, and when she was iu charge of a lonely School some years ago I taught her how to shoot with a revolver. I got her a large one, bnt she could not handle it well, so I got her a small pearl-handled one instead. I admire my wife’s pluck, of course. She is not the kind to faint when anything happens.” Connecticut’s Tobacco Crop. The Connecticut tobacco crop is now being harvested, and, according to re ports received in Hartford the yield is phenomenally large and the quality the best in twelve years.

The total acreage of tobacco In towns about Hartford is ap proximately 8000, and the aggregate value of their crop is $2,750,000. China Accepts Gold.

Aug. 28th, 1904. j Messrs. G. W . Gr e e n & Son, . Mocksville, N. C., Gen tlem en,—In c o m p lia n c e with your request as to my views, in regard to the auriferous forma tion in this section, I will state to you that we have done very little prospecting as yet, our time being taken up with the erection of the necessary buildings for man and beast and machinery, we ex pect to arrive soon; but enough has been done to demonstrate that ore exists here in paying - quantities. The veins in this gold belt runs about 70° east of north and are grouped, the main veins are about 200 yards apart, with generally a small vein on either side, one of which is generally fertile with pockets at intervals, which are very rich running up to $150 and $250 per ton. The veins are generally small on top, increasing in thick ness according to depth, but the main source of wealth in this im mediate region is the vast amount *>f float ore on the surface, which nature has put in the best possible condition for free m illing by oxida tion. i think, from observation, one man can collect from eight to ten tons per day and there is enough on this property and your property to run a ten stamp mill night and day for at least five /the lungs to the surface and expels F or th e Leg’slatnre’ Mr . E d itor :—I see from read ing your paper that our people aie beginning to suggest candidates for the various offices in the county, which I think perfectly right. If you will allow me space in your paper I would like to suggest a man for the Legislature that w'ould, if elected, stand for the interests of the farmeis of Davie county in the the next general assembly, that man is the Hon. B. F. stonestreet. M r. Stonestreet is one of our best farmers and he knows what we farmers need, and must have, and that is better laws. It has been the custom hereto fore to nominate mpn from the towns to represent most of the counties in the legislature, and one can readily see how oppressive the laws are on the farmers. AFhyf Because one rai-ed in town and rocked in the lap of luxury can never sympathize with and feel the wants of the farmers. Hoping that the Republicans will put out our best men, AVith best wishes to the Editopi and suc cess to the R ecord, I beg leave to remain, A R epu blic a n. R. F. D., No. 2. Republican County Convention.^ A Convention of the R epubli cans of Davie County is hereby called to meet at the Courthouse, in Mocksville, on MONDAY, the 36th day of Septem ber, 1504, for the purpose of nom inating a candidate for the Legislature, and County Officers.

If Rydale’sE lixir is used in lime; before.-too mi-ch of the Inng tissue is involved. This modern, scientific medicine removes all mor bid irritation and inflaiuation from years without miniugany ore at all, and as your property adjoins this I see no reason why the same con ditions should not exist on it. It is a standard rule among gold mil ling men that no mill should be erected until there is a years work of ore in sight, and as there is more than that here, at present I see no good reason why, with good biisi- nsss methods, gold mining should not succeed in this locality, for with so many years run of ore in sight and good veins to mine from a good miner ought to be able in that time to take out enough ore to run two years more, and ores rnu- ing from $4 to $100 perton, money should certainly be made; in other words the mill should pay a Iiand- some dividend from the start. I have not been ablp to iuspect, as yon requested 1110, but will do so as soon as possible, but as the veins which cross this property cross yours I see no reason why they should not beas fertile as these are,Rev. D. AV. Evans, of Cleveland, Tenn.. preached in the hall Iastfthere beinS 800 acres in the tract Saturday night. Mr. Evans is a member of what is known as the Campbellite church. Mr. Henry A.

FOR Ol B MANUFACTURED KXFOK TS. “ A recent report made from the department of labor and cnmineicr shows a most gratifying inn ease in the volume of manufactured ex ports from this country. For tin fiscal year, ending with June 30tb they am om tid to the enormous smii of $452,500,000. an increase of 815,000.000 over those of 1903. and the largest in the history of the country. “ It is a notable fact that in the last twenty years, the value of manufactured exports from the Uniteil States has increased 150 per cent., and that thev have been practically doubled in value since the inauguration of W il iam Mc Kinley. as President, in 1S9T. With these aud our large exporta tiona of agricultural products, the balance in our favor will ecu timic to be large, and the frturi prosperity of the country fora long period, is assured, unless wc do something very foolish that will lmudieap the business men aud the producers of the nation. ‘‘The largeincreasein the vol ume of manufactured products ex ported is gratifying to all classes ol people. Think of the vast army of men and women who are given em ployment in the production ot DMmifactnred commodities to the value of $ 152,000,000. Suppose we "ere to have to cut off that amount from the output of our faetorie- and mills, the number of men em ployed and paid waj.es would be correspondingly reduced. If tha' were done the home m arkets of the farmer would be crippled and ihe prices realized for the products of the soil would be far less in value Ulan at present. “ The people of the country should study carefully the condi tiouswith which they are surround ed today, compare them with what they have seen in the past, and be eateful to do nothing that ...will bring about a change that will in terrupt or disturb present favor •tide conditions. In view of all the facts, as they appear in the report Made by the departm ent of com inerce and labor, above mentioned, is there not sinio reason why the country should ‘stand pat’ for awhile at least. “ There are always a great many Men in the couutry who are for. a change, without being able to give Miy tangible reason. There are such men now; but we take it there ore many millions who are pretty well satisfied with the present- con ditious and who will think thor oughly before making np their minds that such a change as is asked by a certain class of politi cians is desirable.” -r-Journal-Tri- bnue.

Atkaosas Repablicaos Claim Uufalroess Io the scate Elections. . L it t l e Rook., A rk ., Sept. 5.— Early returns from the State elec tion indicate the re-election for governor, of Jefferson ,Davis, the democratic incumbent, over H arry Meyers, republican. The Demo crats elected their eutire state ticket and the interest centered in the vote in the large towns, where the regular Democrats were opposed in many instances by independents. !Secretary '.V. S. Holt of the Re publican- State Ceutral Committee issued the following statem ent to night relative to to today’s election in this state: “There are 240,000 legal- voters in Arkansas this year. The Re publicans have had a corps of speakers in the field for the lastfive weeks. Over 300,000 pieces of lit eratnre have been distributed and che local workers in each county have put forth their best efforts. Governor Davis has been before the people in three different gener al elections aud has never been able to poll over S9,000 votes. “ ,Many proraiuent Democrats in all sections of the state openly de clared they would vote lor Meyers. In .forty-five of the seventy-five counties in the state we expected to h«ve a reasonably fair ebction. In thirty counties it will be pracli- villy the same old thing. In some nstaiiees every white Republican lection judge has lieen removed nd ignorant negroes have been ap pointed in thci. place,” Don’t the above read like North Carolina Democratic methods in his State in 1890, when negro judges were appointed by Demo- ciatic election boards? This W hite Supremacy with a vim. ESKB ABRASS ED. A t the Democratic Editorial Imhquet last week in New York City, two Democratic negro editors applied to Josephus Daniels, of the News and Observe, for seats at the table, and it is said brother Jose phus was very much embarrassed. The negro vote is very important in the close northern and western states to onr Democratic friends, and they did not want to do any thing- to drive the Democratic negroes away. W hite Supremacy iu the South, and to hold the negro vote up north is a broblem for our Democratic friends. They will squall “ nigger,” “ nigger,” “ nig ger,” down here but will move up close to M r. Nigger up north. Mr. Davis, the Democratic candidate for vice-president, would not let the W est Virginia Democrats adopt a W hite Supremacy platform. Removing W hite Republicans judges, and putting iu ignorant negroes. W hat for? T hat the Democrats might steal and stuff ihe ballot boxes. IIow long are h e white people of this fair South land of ours going to follow the Democratice machine, and- aid them in perpetuating such frauds upon the people? To squall nigger at Republicans and then appoint negro judges to cheat; white Re publicans will not always be toler ated; its got to stop and the sooner the better for all concerned. A free, untrammelled, and incorrupt ible electorate is the need of the hour. W ill the good people of this country demand it ? DAVIS UY BO1OOO. the government a t W ashington. by appealing to the prejudices of the people has been the favorite meth ods of the Southern Democratic leaders. The end is in sight.

L it t l e Rock, Ar k ., Sept, 6,— Sufficient returns from the state election have been received to in dicate the election of Governor Davis to a third term by a plnrali ty of 20,000. Several other state officers were voted for, bnt all the other Democratic candidates had an open field, Davis alone having opposition. Gov. Davis will run something like 16,000 votes behind his ticket of two years ago, when the total vote was 120,000 in ronud numbers. This yeai-there has been an increase of 10,000 votes, aud if Governor D avis'. plurality is not. over 20,000 his loss in the aggre gate will be 30,000 votes. Meyers, the Republican candidate will pro bably increase his vote, over two years ago not less than 10,000. Several counties have given Repub lican majorities which heretofore have gone Democratic, bnt in the the main the county Democratic tickets have been elected. “ The Prohibition vote will pos- iibly fall short of two years ago, when Kim ball, for governor on the ticket, polled less thau 9,000 votes. —Raleigh Post, Democratic. A loss of thirty thousand v«tes in . a Rock-ribbed Democratic Southern ; State shows plainly the drift of .sentiment.

Belm onttolearn that money cannot elect a presi dent in opposition to the will of the people. If we continue Repnblicauism and protection we shall, soon be making the fifty million dollars worth of cotton goods which we are now importing. Onr free trade friends who object to the selling of manufactured goods abroad at a lower price than at home forget that the Democratic party itself provided in its last tar. iff law for just such sales, As a result ot the Republican financial and industrial policies we have today in the Treasury of this country more gold belonging to the United States than was ever held by any government in the history of the world. The free trader who howls for so called “ free raw m aterial” forgets that we are using annually manu facturers’ materials to the value of eight billions of dollars while we are importing only about four hundred million dollars’ worth. The difference between the mar ket for the manufacturers of Great Britian and the United States is that Great Britain must seek for eign markets wlii Ie the manufactur ers of the United States are assnr- ed of a home market for more than ” n in e ty-five per cent, of lheirpro- 1 ducts. .- Our total exports in 1895 under Democracy and Free Trade were 8807,584,000. Our total exports during the fiscal year, 1904, under Roosevelt and Protection were 91, 460.829,539. Onr exports of man ufactures in 1894 were $183,728,- 808; in 1904 they, were over 8425, 000,000. •The record of the Republican party during its fifty years exist ence is one of a succession of ac complishments without a single failure. The policies inaugurated by the Republican party have, in every instance been successfully carried out, and now, for expedi ency's sake, the candidate of the Democrdtic party is very willing to acquiesce in their accomplishments. Therenever was 'a President in the W hite Honsewho was a greater friend of the laboring man than Theodore Roosevelt. H is record from the time when he was an As semblyman in the New Yoifc Legis lature, to the present, has been a consistent one i n this respect. Pres dent Roosevelt stands as the friend of the lawmaker and the enemy of the lawbreaker ho matter, what his politics or his calling.

George S* FitKwater, chief detective of the Seaboard Air Line, said that he had found some spikes and bolts aud two angle fettl’s which had beeu..re- moved from the track with claw barsi He was confident that criminal work had been done.

There was nothing, to suggest that the foun dations of the structure were under mined by a washout, although the ground was somewhat marshy.

Donnelly Prestdettt of Ihfl Vnlon UecUfes tliC DlstfulS Off and Orderfi H is Back to W orl:, Chicago, 111.—The strike of the butcher workmen, which has demoral ized the meat paekipg Jiidiistr1V throughout t a country for the last twd months-, was officially declared off by President Miciiaei J. Donnelly. Sir-. Donnelly telegraphed the mem bers of the National Executive Com mittee asking their consent to an an nouncement of the end of the. Btruga gle and having received taVOinbln an* swen fi'oni aUi hfe tlechtrcd that the stl’iU6 Sf.thB members of his organlza* tioil would end at midnight.The strike of the members of the affiliated unions at the stockyards, who quit work in sympathy with the butch ers, was -to- be officially called off at a meeting of the Conference Board Of the allied trades-. The WlWfal bodjr was at first in fttv6i‘ Of Continuing the strike, but Mr. Donnelly ,who was present, announced jhot the men -were defeated, and that in order to save his union from being entirely disrupted he. would order his men to return to work, no matter what course'.uiight be takett by. Otheii unions;As the othef iiaioiis iiad no griev ance 8f their own, but had gone on strike to aid the butchers, there M as nothing left for them but to follow the lead of Mr. Donnelly, and they, too, decided to call off the strike as far as they were concerned.During tlie strike approximately 53,000 persons have been Mvaived iit the Stjrugglei which is estimated to hare Cost the men about $5,100,000 in w ages, as’ against an estimated loss of $7,500,000 to the packers in loss of business and increased expenses. When the packers were notified that it had been decided to end the strike they announced that they would give places as far as possible to the skilled men. It is expected that the majority of the unskilled men will be unable to se,cure their places again. The terms of the settlement are these:Packers to reinstate strikers as rap idly as possible and to retain as many of their' non-union workers as desiri to remain'. Men to rettti'n as individuals and no agreements vritii the unions to be inade. Skilled men to receive same wages received before going on strike. De mands made by organizations before the strike not to be considered, and wages of unskilled men not to be arbi* trated. AU live stock handlers to be Jeiii;- stated by the tluito Stockyards and Transit Company. Desertions from the union ranks and the men who have sought other situ ations as.the weary fight went on have caused the ranks to dwindle down to 80,000. Of this number of men prob ably 20,000 will return, owing to the non-union men who will remain at work, and because of the-new system of operation adopted by the packers, which will give steadier employment and to fewer workmen than formerly. ANTS MAY SAVE MILLIONS, Cotton Boll Weevil Eaters to Be Tried on Northern Insect Pests. Washington, D. C.—Colonies of the ants brought from Guatemala by Agri cultural Department experts on the theory that they will devour the cot ton boll weevil are to also be tried on a diet of potato bugs, grasshop pers and other insects which .destroy $100,000,000 worth of crops every year. The loss to farmers from bogs of different kinds has been growing with the increased slaughter of insect-eat ing birds. Much of this loss, the ex perts think, can be prevented if the ants can stand the Northern climate, which question will be tested this fall and winter.

My Deat sir-; t Accept the nom ini- tton K r the presidency teidSred Hle by the RepiiblicSh hatiouai convention, and cbMially approve the platform adopted by it. In w riting this letter there are certain points upon which I desire to lay especial BtresBi It iB difficult to fifld out from the ut teran ce 6f Oilr opponents w hat are the FGal issues upon which they propose to wage this campaign. It is not unfair to say that, having abandoned most o£ the principles upon which' th6y hftvS in sisted during the iast eight years, they pow SSeitt a t a loss, both as to what it iS that they really believe, and as to how flrmly they shall assert tfiSir belief in anything. In fact, it Is doubtful if thej venture resolutely to press a sin gle issue; as soon as they raise one they shrink from it and seek to explain it away. Such an attitude Is the prob ably Inevitable result of the effort to improvise convictions; for when thus Improvised, it is natural that they should be held in a tentative manner. The party now in control ol the gov ernment is troubled by no such diffi culties. We do not have to guess at our own convictions, and then correct the guess if it seems unpopular. The prin ciples which we profess are those in which we believe w ith heart and SOul and strength. Men inay differ from us; but they cannot accuse us of shiftiness or insincerity. The policies we have pursued are those which we earnestly hold as essential to the national wel fare and repute. Our actions speak even louder than our words for the faith that is in us. We base our appeal upon w hat we have done and are doing, upon our record of adm inistration and legis lation during the last seven years, in which wo have had complete control of the governm ent We intend in the'fu ture to carry on the government in the same way th at we have carried it on in the p ast A party whose members are radically a t variance on most vital issues, and if united a t all, are only united on issues where their attitude threatens wide spread disaster to the whole country, cannot be trusted to govern in any m atter. A party which, w ith facile ease, changes all its convictions before election cannot be trusted to adhere w ith tenacity to any principle after election. A party fit to govern m ust have convictions. In 1896 the Republi can party came into power, and in 1900 it retained power .on certain definite pledges, each of which was scrupulously fulfilled. B ut in addition to meeting and solving the problems which were issues in these campaigns, it also be came necessary to meet other problems which arose after election; and it is no small part of our claim to public confi dence that these were solved w ith the same success that had attended the so lution of those concerning which the battles a t the polls were fought. In other words, our governmental effi ciency proved equal not only to the task that were anticipated, but to doing each unanticipated task as it arose. W hen the contest of 1896 was decided the question of the war w ith Spain was not an issue. W hen the contest of 1900 was decided, the shape which the isth mian canal question ultim ately took could not have been foreseen; B ut the same qualities which enabled those re sponsible for m aking and adm inister ing the laws of W ashington to deal suc cessfully w ith the tariff and the cur rency, enabled them also to deal w ith the Spanish w ar; and the same quali ties which enabled them to act wisely In the Philippines, and in Cuba, also en abled them to do their duty as regards the problems connected with the trusts, and to secure the building of the isth mian canal. We are content to rest our case before the American people upon the fact that to adherence Jb a lofty ideal we have added proved govern m ental efficiency. Therefore, our pro mises may surely be trusted as regards any issue th at is now before the people and we jnay equally be trusted to deal with any problem which may hereafter MISREPRESENTATION ,OF REPUB LICAN POLICIES. So well has the work been done tfiat our opponents do not venture to recite the facts about our policies or acts, and then oppose them. They attack them only when they bava flrst misrepresen ted them ; for a truthful recital would leave no room for adverse comment. Panam a offers an instance in point Our opponents can criticise what we did in Panam a only on condition of m isstating what was done. The admin istration behaved throughout n o r only W iS good faith, but w ith extraordinary patience and large generosity towards those with whom it iJealt lt^was also mindful of American Interests it act erl in -strict compliance w’-th the lav/ passed by ConsVess.

If consistent, they Bhould have gone m e Step iiifther and esftfratniatea .ttS Cbiintrjr ilpon the why In which the civil service law is now administered, and the way in which the classified service has been extended. The exceptions from exami nations are fewer by far than ever be fore, and are confined to individual cases, where the application Sf the rules Woiiia be impracticable, iiiiwise &r un* hecessafjri The adm inistration of the gTeat body bf the classified civil Service is free from politics, and app6 intnie&t§ and removals have been Biit upon a business basis. Statistics show that there is little difference between the tenure of the Federal classified em ployes and that of the employes of pri vate business corporations. Less than I per cent, of the classified employes are over 70 years of age, and in the main the service rendered is vigorous and efficient W here the m erit system was of course most needed was in the Phil ippine Islands; and a civil service law of very advanced type has there been put into operation and scrupulously ob served. W ithout one exception every appointment in the Philippines has been made in accordance w ith the. strictest standard of fitness, and with out heed to any other consideration. The Tariff and Reciprocity are both touched upon a t considerable length, in the usual forceful style of Mr. Roose velt. The Philippines come in for a lengthy discussion, claiming th at the adm inistration policy is the correct one. Governmental expenses are dis cussed, and the claim made th at the nvesent nxoenses are economical, and a good balance has been kept in the treasury. The letter closes w ith the following: Our appeal is made to all good dti- Kens who hold the honor and the inter est Of the nation close to their hearts. The great issues which are a t stake, and iipon which I have touched, and more than which I have touched, fov they involve much that comes home to the individual well-being Of our people, tinder conditions as they actually are, good Americans should refuse, to to change the national policy. We, who are responsible for the adm inistration and legislation under which this coun try, during the last seven years, has grown so greatly in well-being a t home and In honorable repute among the na tions of the earth abroad, do not stand inertly upon this record, do not use this record as an excuse for failure of effort to meet new conditions. On the contrary, we treat the . record of what W®. have done in the past as incitement to do even better in the future. W e be lieve that the prQgress th at we have made may be taken as a measure of the progress we shall continue to make if the people again entrust the govern m ent of the nation to our hands. We do not stand still. We press steadily for ward toward the goal of moral and ma terial well-being of our own people, of just and fearless dealing toward all other peoples, In the interest not mere ly of this country, but of mankind. There is not a policy, foreign or domes tic, which we are now carrying but, which it would not be disastrous to reverse or abandon. If our opponents should come in and should not reverse our policies, then they would be brand ed w ith the brand of broken faith, of false promise, of insincerity In word and deed; and no man can work to the advantage of the nation w ith such a brand clinging to him. If, on the other hand,-they should come and reverse any or all of our policies, by just so much would the nation as a whole 1*1 damaged. Alike as lawmakers and aa adm inistrators of the law we have en deavored to do our duty in th e Interest of the people as a whole. W e make our appeal to no class and to no section, but to all good citizens, in whatever part of the land they dwell, and what ever may be their occupation or world ly condition. We have striven both for civic righteousness and for national greatness; and we have faith to believe that our hands will be upheld by all who feel love of country aild trust in Ibe uplifting’of mankind. W e stand for enforcement of the law and for obedi ence to the law; our government is a government of orderly liberty equally alien to tyranny and to anarchy; and its foundation stone is the observance o£ the law, alike by the people and by the public servants. ,We hold ever be fore us as the all-im portant end of policy and adm inistration the reign of peace a t home and throughout the world; of peace, which comes only by doing justice. Another Universal Language. Never do-six months pass by with* out some attem pt being mads to do away with the disadvantages qf the diversity of tongues, but so far suc- c’ess has not attended any one of th°m. Struggle as they may, the ■ inventors of universal languages cannot get away from Latin, and tfi« latest , attem pt, that by Pr-of. Peano, of Turin, resolves itself into Latin w ithout inflections. • The profes sor proposes to do away w ith cases, numbers, genders, and persons, and also w ith tenses and voices, using the ablative in the case of substan tives and the infinitive minus -re or. •ri for the vsrbs. In fact, his sys tem is the. evolution of the Italian tongi-Ve carried to its logical conclu sion. Nearly every one learns Latin more or less, and it is difficult to see why the simple Latm of the middle ages, without any stralm ng after Ciceronian 'elegancies, should not suffice for all o u r. internaUqnal needs, during the few years which m ust pass before all the world speaks E nglish—London Globe. frliolesflie M g s Ouotel to K ev Tqrkia tk .

On analysis the CenSM Bureau found; that most of the occupations in which divorce is most frequent contain a high percentage of bachelors. Statistics show that in nine of the fifteen occur pations in that list the tendency to defer marriage is exceptionally strong. W hile not going so far as to assert that a prolongation of the period of bachelorhood increases the probability of divorce when once the marriage tie has been formed, the census experts say: “This is a proposition which appar. ently derives some further support from the fact that those occupations In which the percentage of divorced males is exceptionally low are most of them occupations in which early marriages appear to be exceptionally prevalent.” I t is shown that Ta a long list of occupation groups in which there are not more than three divorces to 1000 marriages, the teudency is toward early matrimony. “This,” says the report, “might seem to contradict the rather common im pression that it is the early marriage which is most apt to be the imprudent m arriage leading to divorce. B ut in general probably the most that can be said is that some of the conditions which promote single life and defer m arriage also promote divorce.” The report shows that the number of m arried women in gainful occupations is steadily growing. In 1S90 4.G per cent o( all the married women of the country were thus employed. In 1900 this percentage had increased to 5.0. It is also shown that the percentage of single Tvomen in gainful occupations has declined since 1890, while th a t of married, widowed and divorced, in each case, has increased.

How it Got Its Nam*; Back in Clinton County, in a sec tion which is rapidly becoming known through the development of its oil wells, is a village called Seventy-six. In the midst of the village is a water fall, which greeted the eye of the first frontiersm an who -went to that part of this State when it was still a part of Virginia. H e measured the depth of the fall and found it to be seventy-six feet. The accuracy of the measurement has never been call ed into question, and the inhabitants ot the town to this day have their mails addressed to “Seventy-six, Ky.” The fall is of little volume dur ing the summer months, but it is of great beauty at all times. In the Winter it is a roaring cataract, and Indian Creek frequently goes upon a rampage. The section was a favorite hunting ground of the Indians in the early days, and the creek derived Its name from the number of spearheads and spikes which are found in tha fields around.—Louisville (£Jy.) Cour- ier-Journal. Mail Carried by Retadeer Team. The capacity of the reindeer for team work is remarkable. Hia hoofs are very broad and do not penetrate the snow crusts. H is average weiglit about 400 pounds. He will swiftly draw a sled carrying 600 pounds, and with this load can cover thirty, fifty and even ninety miles a day. ThB reindeer teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, a distance of 050 miles—the most north erly post route in the world. No food Is carried for the deer. A t tiro end of his journey, or a t any stopping place, he is turned loose, and at once breaks through the snow to the white moss, which' serves as food. It costs nothing to feed him As the white settlem ents increase in the mineral bearing parts of Alaska, and In many places rem ote from railway and steamboat transportation, the rein deer express will be one of the most Important factor? in’ territorial life. Of Interest in the Home. The wedding breakfast or luncheon is an occasion to be long remembered, and therefore should present a most at tractive picture. The details of plan ning and preparing the wedding feast are given in an illustrated article in the October Delineator which is very sug gestive in this regard. In the same number are illustrated and described various seasonable fruit confections, and there are also many choice recipes, including Dainty Novelties in Soup, Delectable Cheese Dishes, a Dozen Lit tle Cakes and a number of preparations from a Southern kitchen.

A party which witli facile ease changes all its convictions before election cannot be Jrusted to adhere with tenacity to any principle after election. Had not Fanabia been promptly Pecogni zed. and the transit across the isthmus kept open, in accofd- ance with our treaty rights and ob ligations. there would have eiisued endless guerilla warfare and proba bly foreign.complications, while all cbancesof building the canal would have been deferred for. years, per haps for a generation or more. The decisive action which brought about this beneficent result was the exercise by the President of the powers rested in him. and in him alone, by the Constitution— the power to recognize foreign govern nieuts by entering into diplomatic relations with them. The Presi dent’s duty is to serve the country in accordance with the Constitu tion, and I should be derelict in my duty if I used a false construc tion of the Constitution as a shield for weak ness-and timidity or as an excuse for governmental impotence. Being unable to agree among themselves as to whether the. gold standard is a curse or a blessing and as to whether we onght or ought not to have free ard unlimit ed coinage < f silver, our oppouenls DASTARDLY CONDUCT.

Onr opponents promised inde pendence to the Philipinos. In their platform they declare for in dependenoe, apparently without qualification as to time. But in IatUr and equally official utterances by our opponents is the lerin self- government was substituted for in dependence, the words used being, so chosen that in their natural'con- Irhelion they described precisely the policy now being carried out. But this caused trouble in t lieir owii ranks, and in a still later, though less iornial, utterance the Davidson county line, and while he was speaking, some one cut and slashed up his buggy pretty badly, damaging it to the extent of about $20. The Observer re cently said in substance that it was a violent presumption, to say that a Democrat did it. We think not, for past campaigns indicate that worse things than cutting up bug-, gies were indulged in by Demo crats. Red Shirt ntiranders armed with pistols and guns and rotten eggs made life hideous for Republi cans and Populistsin some locali- We had hoped that all such was at an end in this State, but the lawless spirit seems to have taken possession of a gieat many. South ern soldiers on lheir way to Manas sas, raided stores and eating houses. Even in Ghailatte they showed their lawlessness by taking Cigars aud something to eat, and iu Reidsville it is estimated they got over $IOO worth out of the stores and saloons, without paying for it, and the great majority, if not all, these soldiers are Demo crats.

Don’t give usoue of the Crnm variety.’’—Davie Times. The above is a comment taken from last weeks Davie Times, on the little pleasantry we had in the R e c o r d the week previous, on the Colonels trip to South Carolina. NYe have made up our mind not to pay very much attention to what pur- .Democratic friends say about the nigger, for it is impissible to keep the average Dcmocaitt away from the nigger. The appointment of Grum is no wotse than the ap pointment by Democrats of hum Jreds of negro judges to pass upon the white man’s qualifications and right to vote, and the Colonel's party did that in North Carolina, hud the same Democratic party in Arkansas a few weeks ago removed white Republican Judgesand ap pointed ignorant negroes In their plqees, ‘in about 30 counties, that’s nice business isn’t it Colonel Specially for the White Suprem acy crowd. ; _ - t© sug- Wt a man f0r Sheriff, that man is «t old fiiend and Iellowr citizen, Ieiw p.

The NYatts law, according to the evi: deuce, is beiug flagrantly, defiant ly violated every day iu theweek and Sunday too. Theconnty offi cers are leaving its enforcement to the Federal officers, whereas, neing a State statute, it is the busi ness of the Bhnte officers to see to its execution. The Federal re venue officers and their party are opposed to it and want to see it fail, and so there is good reason to believe what is otten asserted, that- more liquor is beiug made in North Carolina now than ever before.-’— Charlotte Observer. This is a serious charge against brother Bailey’s temperance laws, “that more liquor is beingmade in North Carolina now, than ever be fore,” How is that for a temper ance measure? How is temperance promoted by making more liquor and selling more, and drinking more? Will Brother Bailey please explain. Now we would like to know how brother Caldwell knows the sentiment of the Federal offi cers. So far as we know they are doing their dnty as in the past. They are enforcing the United States laws, and have nothing to do with the YYatts bill. . If onr Dem ocratic friends want their State laws enforced, they should enforce it with their own officers. If the Revenue force were to attempt to enforce a State lalw the Democratie press would raise a howl about Federal interference in State affairs. The best solution of the entire problem is to Ietthe peo1 pie vote on the question in county as well as town, and then enforce the law by proper means. When ever- the people go to the ballot box and vote distilleries out, you may expect to see a sentiment In that town or community strohg enough at its back to see that the law is enforced.

BlncTi Auxiety Felt by Merdiinta and Jups-President Decides That the (ship Must Dismantle. " P ersisten t Reports o f A nother A ssan lt Circnlated H Q H f IN PROGRESS OR I HlHINENT Oyster Bay, N. T,~The Eussian aux iliary cruiser Lena, which pnt Into San Ftftliciseo some days ago, must leave that port within a brief time prescrib ed by this Government to make neces sary repairs, or m ust be dismantled, This, in brief, it eftH be said brt au thority, is the decision of President Kooseveit, Fe whom tiie question was referred by the officials at Washington, D. C. The President spent most of a day reading the reports from W ashingtou bearing on the case. The special wires running into the executive.offices were kept warts wltli hiessages between the departffieiib heads a t the capital and tbeir chief at Iiis home in this village. The President, of course, w'ould prefer to adjust the affair so as to satisfy both of the belligerent powers, but he will not under any circumstances swerve from the letter of Iiis jiehtraiily proclamation issiied St the beginning of hostilities, if he is convinced that the commander of the Eussian ship merely wishes to make sufficient re pairs to enable him to take the vessel to the nearest Busslau port, lie may do so. If, on the other . .band; it appears that the BuSsiati "officer entered the Goldett GatB with the intention of put ting Hlc Lena again In fighting trim, ho will be ordered to dismantle the ship and innst remain in the harbor until the w ar ends. In other words, the har bors of the United States are not to be nsed as navy yards by any foreign power. President Bcoseveit has ordered the Lena to be thoroughly inspected by the chief engineer of Admiral Good rich’s .fleet and the United States steamboat inspectors a t San Francisco. Until their report is received p9 dfastic action will be taken-, if the report Shbws that the Lena’s boilers and en gines'can be repaired within a reason able time, the Bussian commander will be told to go ahead and have the work done. If the inspectors find that dry- docking is necessary and the Work of repair will consume weeiik or months, the Leuu Uiiist he dismantled and de tained. Should the Bussian comman der refuse to dismantle his ship on re ceiving orders to that effect, he will be required to leave the harbor within the customary time limit of twenty-four hours. On the ai-vival of the Lean -consider able anxiety was felt ill Sail Fran cisco by the merchant marine of that port, Us it was felt that the Bnssian bruiser had come w’ith the purpose of waylaying any ship leaving port for Japan. . ThB Bussian commander of the boat desired time to make sufficient repairs to his boilers, which were then inspect ed and the above decision was made by the President on veceipt of the inspec tion report. San Francises, C ai.-it seems certain from latest developments in the case bf the Bussian cruiser that the Lena will have to be dismantled here. This decision was reached by the experts here after a earefnl examination of the Lena’s boilers by Captain John K. Bulger, United States inspector of hulls and boilers. Admiral Goodrich's fleet engineer reported the day before that six weeks would probably be am ple time for ptitiing the boilers in ser viceable condition, but he did not make the careful and detailed inspection that Captain Bnlger made. Although Captain Bnlger will not talk it is tin-, derstood from an authoritative source that he has reported that the boilers are in such bad condition that it would be folly to attem pt to patcii them up In a few weeks. Either extensive re pairs must be hiade, which would re quire months, or new boilers must be put in. In either case the work could not be done under the neutrality laws, for it would mean converting a dis abled ship into an effective cruiser. According to Captain Bulger’s report the cruiser would be taking great risks In attempting to cross the Pacific at this season with hastily patched up boilers. It is understood that the offi cers and men of the Lena will be glad to hare the vessel dismantled, as they know she could not hold her own against even a small Japanese ship, Collector Stratton sent the Inspector’s report to W ashington with his official approval. It is reported here that Consul-Gen eral Uycno, of Japan, received a sharp reprimand from the Japanese Minister in Washington because of the dictator ial tone in which .he demanded the right to inspect the Lena. Local Jap anese are still greatly excited Over the presence of the Lena, ThB editor of the Japanese paper waits in the early morning for the first editions of the lo cal newspapers, and then makes up his journal from their news, In the windows of Japanese shops bulletins arc posted giving in Japanese the latest news of the Lena case. If Ad miral Goodrich had not posted guards over the cruiser, patriotic Japanase would have blown the vessel out of the water, as they are greatly incensed against her for trying to secure a ha ven in this harbor.

Chefooi By Cable.—LOcal studentS Of thu military situation at IiOtt Arthur, basing theif deductions upon recent development there, are of the opinion that another grand assault is either oc curring at the present time or is immi nent. Tfiis opinion is based on the very heavy bombardment of the Bussian StrBtighoiJ iliat occurred on Sept. 16th, for such a bombardment forms the usu al prelude to an assault; on the arrival here of important messengers from Port Arthur at a time when the run ning of the blockade is extremely per ilous; en a ifficeiit autti8ritative state ment that Japanese siege works are completed, and on reports from Japa nese sources that at Port Dalny an as- salt was expected to take place in 4 few days, Tiiebe fflortt were received last week.In addition to the foregoing there is the common knowledge that the Japan ese realize that their continued- inac tivity increases the resisting ef the Russian garfisoii; aiid their consequent desire to make such period of inactiv ity as brief as possible. Why Kuroki Failed. London, By Cable.—The Times cor respondent w ith General Kurbkl ifl a dispatch dated Liab YSng, §8pt. 7, find at the conclusion of a long account of the battle there, says: “General Kuroki’s flank movement failed owing to the tactics of General Kuropatkin, who trusted the half df his armjr woiild suffice to hold the Jap anese south of the Taitse river. His farces were so strongly posted and he possessed such a secure line of retreat that the soundness of the course adopt ed must appeal to tactieians, In any case it upset the eaiucuiatioiis, of the Japanese, who cbuntea updn Bdinpara- tivfeiy feeble resistance 16 thfiiF flank ing movement. There are indications to show that while the Russians con templated a determined effort at check they feared throwing down the gaunt let and fighting a pitched battle. They had very small reserve supplies at Uao Fang, trusting to thB railway fbr sup plies. ThB prbSf a i this is that tfafeV lfeft pFacti-eaiiy nothing for the Japanese captured sufficient to supply their army only for one day. After the Rus sian retirement to the east bank of the river their position presented a scene of carnage unparalleled in European warfare.

Discovering a veteran bee hunt er and overcoming a feminine dis trust ot the little insect who so sharp ly resents interference with her af fairs. they were initiated in the art of lining bees, and thereafter every tramp afield was with an object in -,jew. Dce hunting possesses a charm pe culiarly its own and it can be prac ticed wherever flowers grow, even within the limits of a town. The nec essary outfit consists o t a box three inches square and as many deep. Tiiis is divided into an upper and lower story by means of a slid®. The cover is fitted with a Kless window. In Hie lower com partm ent is placed a piece of comb P11 led with a syrup of sugar and wf,ter. The slide Is pushed in place and the nearest flower bed or clover patch is sought. W ith the bo.> in one hand and the cover in the other, it is an easy m atter to trap a honey bee busy robbing a flower of its sweets. W atching her through the glass window, the moment she quiets .'iown the slide is gently drawn, ft docs not take the bee long to discover ibo syrup, and she a t once, begins to load up with this treasure. The box is now placed on a post and a sharp watch maintained. Pres ently the bee is sated, and, circling for her bearings, starts straight for the hive or tree. W hen she comes l>'.ek. for she will surely return, she will bring another bee with her, and in turn this one will bring a third, and SO on until a line Is established, Thor, while one or more AU with the syrup, the cover is replaced and the bos carried forward PlOng the line of li'.Fiit. From the stopping point a r.o\v line will be established as before. Thus In time will the bees lead firatgtt. to their home.

For Chief Judge of the Court of Ap peals—Edgar M, Cullen (Democrat) of Kings, For Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals—W illiam E. W erner (Republi can), of Monroe. Timothy L. Woodruff w ithdrew as a candidate for Governor just as the roll of delegates was to be called and after the nominating speeches had been made. The platform Jndorees the adminis trations of President Roosevelt and Governor Odell, and approves the dec laration of principles adopted by the Republican N ational Convention. It Was nearly noon when J. SIoat Fassett, the temporary chairman, called the convention to order, and, af ter dispatching routine business, made way for the nomination and election of Senator George R, Malby1 of St, Lawrence County, as perm anent chair man. Escorted by Congressman Se- l'eno E. Payne and Senator John Raines, the chairman w ent to the plat form and a t once proceeded to his speech, which was well received, and when a t its climax Senator Malby mentioned the name of the President there was a demonstration. Then John A. Sleicher, of New York, Chairman of the Committee on Reso lutions, read the platform prepared by Edw ard Lauterbach. A fter the report of the committee had been adopted, nominations for Governor were declared in order by Chairman Malby, aDd Assemblyman A rthur C. Wade, of Chautauqua, made the nominating speech for Senator Higgins. William A. Prendergast, of Brook lyn, then presented the nanje of former Lieutenant-Governor Woodruff. Assemblyman Jam es T. Rogers, Re publican leader in the lower house of the Legislature, then took the platform to second Woodruff's nomination. W. AV. Niles, of New York, followed Mr. Rogers and seconded the nomination of Lieutenant-Governor Higgins. F. R. Hazard, of Syracuse, also seconded the nomination of Mr. Higgins. Mr. H azard was the first speaker to speak from his place in the delegation. Chairman Malby then announced the roll call, but Mr, W oodruff interrupted. H e announced th at be would w ithdraw from the candidacy and would commit the Kings County delegation to greater effort than ever before for the success of the ticket. H e moved th a t the sec retary cast one ballot for the selection of Mr. Higgins as a candidate for Gov ernor. The motion w as carried, and Secretary Fox obeyed it. “H ail to the Chief” was played by the band, and the delegates rose and gave three cheers for Higgins,. Abe Gruber nominated M. Linn Bruce for Lieutenant-Governor. “I second the nomination of Mr. Bruce!” roared a delegate from Delaware Coun ty, where Mr. Bruce w as born, and Secretary Fox, on motion of Senator Raines, cast a single ballot, which nominated Mr. Bruce by acclamation. Senator Dcpew nominated John F. O’Brien for Secretary of State. Mr. O’Brien’s nomination was made by ac clamation, and so were all the others as follows: Otto Kelsey was nominated by Rep resentative Jam es W . W adsworth, of Geneseo, for the office of Controller; John G. W allenmeier was nominated for State Treasurer by Deputy State Controller Timmerman, of Buffalo; Ju lius M. Mayer w as nominated for At torney-General by Assemblyman Jo- slab T. Newcomb; Henry A. Van Als tyne was nominated for State Engi neer and Surveyor by William P. Rudd, of Albany. There was not even the semblance of a speech in nominating Chief Judge Edgar M. Cnllen for th at place. Sena tor Raines merely moved that the Sec retary cast the ballot of the convention for Chief Judge Cullen. On motion of Jam es G. Cutler, of Rochester, similar action w as taken in nominating Will iam B. W erner as Associate Judge-of the Court of Appeals. The State committee was authorized by the convention to fill all vacancies in its ranks and to provide for all State nominations that may be neces sary next y e ar.. The .nominees of the convention will be formally notified of their selection by a committee made up of ’one member from each Congress district, w ith Senator Malby as chair man. The convention then a t 2.30 p. m. adjourned. Mayor and Sheriff Indicted. The Grand Jury a t Huntsville. AIa., indicted the Mayor and Sheriff for de reliction of duty In not preventing the lynching of Horace. Maples, and ten of the mob of lynchers.

A fter referring to the fifty years ot the Bepubiicaii party’s life, congratu lating the country on the results of the recent elections, indorsing Presi dent Ropseveit and approving the Na tional platform adopted in Chicago, it deals w ith state issues as follows! . “W e commend the firm reason, abid ing common Sense and strict integrity, unmoved by assaults from enemies of pleas from friends, w ith which Gov ernor Odeli has conducted the affairs of this State and safeguarded w ith zealous care its vast and complicated interests. “W e believe in the policy of raising revenues for State maintenance by in direct taxation. The effective meas ures of the Republican party in this direction constitute the greatest step taken In the history of our common w ealth for the relief of taxpayers, if any taxes heretofore levied, especially such as affect the savings of the peo- ple, appear to be unjust or unneces sary, we favor such revision of the tax laws as will correct such condition. “The people of the State have de creed th at the canals shall be im proved, and we reaffirm the position heretofore taken by the party in regard to good- roads, for the construction of which the State has already paid or appropriated over $3,250,000. “We believe in increasing the effec tiveness of the school system, greater appropriations for common schools and the extension of free tuition in high schools, and w e favor the still further building up of the State's educational facilities wherever practicable. “We claim credit for the legislation which unified the State Educational Departments and completely removed State educational activities from the field of politics. “We believe in maintaining the laws for safeguarding the interests of labor as well as of capital, and in extending such laws whenever additional safe guards may be necessary. “We believe in the further purchase and preservation of forest lands in the Adirondack and GatskRl parks by the State and adequate appropriations therefor. We congratulate the people of this commonwealth on the satisfac tory condition of the State treasury. National as. well as State policies are involved in. the outcome of our'State election, and we commend to every citizen-the faithful performance of his patriotic duty.” Frank W ayland Higgins, for two years Lieutenant-Governor, and before th at State Senator for nine years, was born a t Rushford, Allegany County, N.

KltLED IN FLORIDA FEUD Bloody Battle in Front of a house at Kight S ln t Sffigagemeat YVae on a TraIn-Uoth Parties Arm FoUowers In Private War-Troops Called Out. Baxter, Fla. — The Duncau-Altman feud, which began in a fight on a train the other day, led to a battle in which two more men were killed and over half a dozen were wounded. The State authorities sent Wilson’s Battery, of Jacksonville, to the scene of hostilities. I t arrived a t 5 o’clock, and has gone into camp. The battle resulted from an attack on the house of William Duncan, which has been garrisoned nightly by a posse since the outbreak of the disorder. In the number was Deputy Sheriff T hrift Suddenly and w ithout w arning there were as many as twenty-five shots from rifles and pistols fired a t the house. The deputy called on his posse to assist him, and as they came from the house there w as another volley of shots. T hrift was standing in front of the house. He was shot and lived but a few moments. The others returned tho fire and killed Ellis Dowling, a member of the Altman faction. The mob withdrew to the home of the Altmans, where they are ready to resist any attem pt a t ar rest. More than a half dozen ware wound ed, but their names cannot be obtained. I t was in response to an appeal by law-abiding citizens th at Wilson’s Bat tery was sent here, arriving on a spe cial train about 5 o’clock. The Ixoops have cordoned their camp w ith sen tries. The Altman faction is hostile to the troops,- saying the soldiers have been sent here to uphold the Duncans. Gov ernor Jennings is not in the State, and the troops were sent here by the Speak er of the House, Cromwell Gibson, who is Acting Governor in the absence of Jennings. Shortly before dark Sheriff Herndon and his posse brought in seven prison ers of the Altman faction. These men are stretched out on the floor of a shanty under guard of the Live Oak Rifles, the W ilson B attery of Artillery and the Sheriff’s posse. ‘ There are eleven others of the Alt man feudists. The men who were sent to see them have ju st returned and re port th at they have agreed to surren der themselves, and will come in vol untarily and give themselves up. The Duncans, who are large turpen tine operators, and the Altmans, who m aintain a general store a t Baxter, have been in a quarrel for months. The m ajority of the people in this sec tion of Baxter CountF took sides w ith the Altmans, as the Duncans had made enemies in their turpentine operations. Although the quarrel was a bitter one no overt act occurred until the Duncans w ith a number of their negro employes boarded an excursion train on the Georgia Southern and Florida. The Altmans and several of their friends were on board and a quarrel soon arose. The Altmans stabbed a Duncan ne gro to death, and when the Dunchns interfered the Altmans killed James Duncan. The fight became general, and the train was turned into a sham bles. This riot occurred ju st over the Geor gia line, and for that reason Sheriff Herndon, of Baker County, refused to arrest the alleged slayers of Duncan and the negro. Since then Baxter and the surrounding county have been di vided into two hostile camps. CONSUL REMOVEDFBOM OFFICE. Roosevelt Acts on Charges and Recalls Consul MeWade. Oyster Bay, N.

The speaker didn’t come, Canauite ^ Sows! ifi tlie It was remarked iSlth a distinct tone of despair by the’Hew York “Times” st few days ago, at the close of a very despondent edi torial article on the outlook tor Parker: “A t least Jet ns save New-York !State!” The prospects for saving New York Statefor Parker are very slim now. An observer who spent several days in New York Oity re cently writes: I have never known a campaign before in which the Democrats openly confessed defeat in advance, as they do now. Why, nearly every Democrat I talk with says frankly his party is without hope. Most of them couple with thecbnfession a declaration that they.really do nofc see how their party is to get on its feet again. Many say they fear Parker will be beaten worse than Bryan was, and that if this is the case all hope of ieorganizing it on a “sane and safe-’ basis will have to be - aban doned for many years to come. Their condition reminds one of the old story of the family situa tion at the arrival of a newcomer, of which the doctor said: “The mother and child are dead, but I hope to save the old man.’’ The only old man the New York Demo- irats hope to save is their State, but they are not at all sanguine about that.

This appalling loss of life and ^aiming of the living resulted, appar ently, from the disregarding of orders ;iven to the two trains to meet at a itation which has for a long time ‘>een their regular meeting point. The ;laim of failure to see either the sta tion or signals cannot be set up by the engineer of th ewestbound train were he alive to enter plea of defense. Es the accident happened in broad iaylight, and according to the best information obtainable, he had the wders in a little frame in front of him as his monster of iron and steel mslied by New Market and soon after came upon an eastbound passenger train No. 12, making for New M arket in compliance with instructions to meet the westbound train which car ried the sleepers from the Bast for . Knoxville, Chattanooga and other Southern cities. CAUSE OF THE WRECK. The possibility exists that the ill- Tated engineer may have been asleep t>r that death had suddenly taken the sight from his eyes before New Market was reached. But nothing is known save that the orders were not obeyed. The trains were on time and not'' making more than 35 miles an hour, yet the impact as they rounded E curve and came suddenly upon each bther was frightful. Both engines and the major portions of both trains were demolished, and why the orders were disregarded or misinterpreted probably will never be known, as the engineers of the two trains were crushed, their bodies remaining for hours under the wreckage of the monster locomotives, which, but a short tim e before, had leaped forward at the touch of their strong hands upon the throttle. Some of the bodies have not been recovered, and many remain unidenti- Bed. CORRECTED DEATH LIST.

Before 2 o’clock Sunday morning the track was clear for through trains, but it requir ed many hours to clear the debris. En gineers Parrott and Kane were found beneath their engines, but their bodies were not crushed badly. Small frag ments of bodies were found in many places, but it is thought that they be long to bodies already found and brought to this city. One little baby was found by the wreckers. LOSS OF LIFE EXPLAINED. The cause of the terrible loss of life, in the heavy east-bound train was ex plained. It seems that the second coach ploughed its way into a bank in which other car’s were jammed, and, pushed on by the weight of heavy Pullmans were crushed like egg shells. Physicians at the hospital state that of the long list of injured which they have in their care it is probable that not more than four will die. The com plete list of injured, as given out by the railroad officials show a total of 162, but this includes all persons who were only slightly hurt or scratched. Miiitia Leave Trial. Huntsville, Ala., Special—On the ad vice of Judge Speak, of the Circuit Court, orders were received today for the militia to break camp and return to Birmingham. The guard a t the jail was taken off at noon and the company left for home tonight It is extremely improbable that there will be any more trouble during the trials of alleged "lynchers. French Workmen at St. Louis. New York, Special.—A delegation of Frencnmen sent a t the expense of the French government to the St. Louis Exposition arrived Sunday on board the French Line steamer La Bretagne, from Havre. The industries represent ed are the manufacture of musical in struments, cotton, shoes, hats, machin ery, tools and railroad supplies. There are also representatives of national la bor organizations and experts in mail distribution.

Harms, associate editor of The Cleve land Tribune, who was shot in the of fice of that paper, Thursday evening, died a t Lakeside Hospital Saturday night. An hour after Harms’ death, John Stanton, who shot him, was- re arrested and locked up on a charge of murder. The shooting was the result of an article which appeared in TheTribune Alabama Lynchers Acquitted. Huntsville, Ala., Special--The trial of Silas Worley, charged w ith arson in the Madison county jail during the night of the lynching of. Horace Map les, closed Saturday night at. 9:15 o’clock. The trial has been Jn progress since Friday afternoon. A squad of militia TVas ordered out to preserve or der, following a verdict of guilty In the case, but the''soldiers were not needed, as a verdict of mot guilty” was returned a t 10:15 o’clock, Americans Not Served. In a number of the leading stores of Edinburgh and Glasgow there is a no tice: “Americans not served here.” Yankee shoppers used to cause the pro prietors and their assistants to turn their shops topsy-turvy until they look ed like a rummage sale (bargain coun ter not in it), and then would elevate their noses and “guess we’ll try some where else.” Hence the notice. Cholera at Port Arthur? St. Petersburg, By Cable.—Although no confirmation h a s. been . received at this hour a t either the W ar Office or the Admiralty of the report from Tsingtau, that cholera had broken out at Port Arthur, it is admitted that it is possibly true, owing to the terri bly unsanitary conditions around the fortress, arising from the number of decaying corpses there.. But until confirmation is received, the Tsingtau telegram will not be given out .to the! press, in order to avoid causing need less alarm among the relatives of the brave defenders. The announcement, none the lss, has caused the deepest concern. Citizens Resent Outrages. Macon, Ga., Special.—A special to The Telegraph from Talbotton says: , "A mass meeting was held at the court house here today which was a t tended by prominent citizens from ev ery. portion of the county to take the necessary steps to apprehend and prosecute the parties who shot the two negroes. Resolutions were passed fav orable to law and order, and the Gov ernor was requested to offer a reward for the arrest of the guilty parties.” Japanese Position Strongly Held. S t Petersburg, By Cable.—The fol lowing dispatch has ‘been received from General Kuropatkin. “The. re- connoissance ’made, September I has established the fact that the Japanese position at Bentsia Putze is strongly held by a bridge with guns. There was no enemy east of Bentsia Putze, •but Japanese reinforcements arrived September 18 In the vicinity of that village.

An unusually severe and damaging rain and windstorm occurred on the 14th in the eastern half of the State: While in the w estern half the week was practically dry, and in a num ber of places rain is badly needed for the growth of fall crops and for soft ening the ground for fall plpwing. .Cool w eather set In on the 15th, with abnormally low night temperatures, especially In the western counties; trad, although the minimum tempera tures were slightly above 40 degrees, Po frost occurred anywhere. Both coin and cotton were badly damaged In the eastern half of the Btate by the storm oh the 14th. The {fields were badly washed on lowlands by the heavy downpours and by fresh ets that resulted from the storm; and iwere badly prostrated by the winds. A great deal of cotton that was open was completely blown out. Large quantities of fodder that were left out for curing were entirely ruined by the rain or blown away by the wind. There was very little damage to crops In the extrem e eastern coun-. ties, owing to the light rainfalls that occurred there, although the wind ve locity was high) but the Breatest dam age, judging from the correspondents' reports, occurred in Graham, Durham, Orange, Alamance, Chatham, Gran ville, Nash, Cumberland, Robeson, and adjoining counties. Cotton pick ing is general in all sections, but on account of cool nights the bolls are openihg slowly; from aii indications the crop will be quite shrot. Fodder pulling and haying 4s active In all sections; and on account of the favor able weather, both hay and fodder are being saved In excellent condition In the w estern half of the State. Tobac co cutting and curing is advancing rapidly In the north-central counties; about two-thirds of the crop has been saved, and the general results are fair ly satisfactory, Peanuts were dam aged slightly; the crop will be short; but the quality appears to be good. Plowing for wheat Is general In all parts of the State, but the work is advancing slowly. Sugar cane is rip ening, and some molasses have al ready been made. A Horrible Crime. W ake Forest, SpecIal1- A n awful tragedy took place B miles west of here -Tonday. A white mail named Geo. Tib- ey, living two miles up the riVer from 'ieuse Falls shot his wife and mother- u-law with a shot gun. Mrs. Tiliey was n the bed with her two days* old baby vhen hei\husband picked up the gun nd indicated that he was going to fire. Jbinking that Tilley was going to hoot the baby the mother threw her- ;elf over It, and the load grazed her houlder. Tilley then opened fire upon his motherrin-iaw, MrA Joe Lowery. The first load took effect in Mrs. Low ery’s right shoulder. Shfe ran into the yard and cried for help, then she en tered the house and turning, Tilley shot her again in the back of the head, thus rendering her unconscious. Mrs. Lowery's condition is serious, and it is lhought that she will die. The shock may also result in the death of Mrs. Tilley. The only cause that can be at tributed for the ra?h act is that he be came angry with his wife because she sent her picture off to be enlarged and did not send his. He has been gruff, and has had little to say for the past month. He left immediately after the shooting and had not been captured at last accounts. Deputy Sheriff Mangum is searching for him. It is thought that he will be lynched if caught in his neighborhood.

We need one or two colleges doing genuine college work and a suf ficient number of preparatory or fitting scnools which shall be embraced in our school system so as to do their own work and also serve as feeders to the central colleges, Onr educational work as now constituted, consists of Leuoif College, which is owned and operated by the Tennessee Synod, and thfe North Carolina Collegiate Institute, and Mount Amoena Seminary, which, are owned and controlled by the North Garollna Synod; and also of Gaston College, a private enterprise recognized by the Tennessee Synod, and Elizabeth College, a private enterprise recogniz ed by the United Synod. We recom mend that for the present, these schools make every effort to work to gether peacefully and harmoniously and that our people patronize these schools in preference to those outBide our territory. “Co-operation in mission Wofk is contemplated oniy in contiguous and Overlapping territory. Neither body shall start a mission in a town or a community which has been pre-occu- pied by the other body. We recommend that members of either body who re side in or more into the vicinity of a church or mission of the other, be ad vised to connect themselves w ith it. “The executive committees of the two bodies shall hold joint meetings from time to time at the call of either or both of the presiding officers of these executive committees in order to provide for the establishment and maintenance of joint missions to at tend to all other m atters pertaining to the co-operation mission work of the two bodies.” Horrible Explosion at Durham.

I desire that these be considered as incorporated herein, and regret that lack of space prevents specific reference to them all.. I wish Here, however, again to refer to my views thferfe expressed as to the. gold Standard; tfe dfeciare agaifl my un qualified belief in said standard, and to express my appreciation of the ac tion of the contention in reply to my- eomunication upon that StibjSet: _ . Grave public questions are pressing for decision. The Democratic party appeals to the people with confidence that its position on these questions will be accepted and endorsed a t tho polls. W hile the issues involvfed are numerous, some stand forth pre-emin-. ent in the public mind. Among these are: Tariff reform, imperialism, econo mical adm inistration and honesty in the public service. I shall briefly con sider these and some others within the necessarily prescribed lim its of this letter; IMPERIALISM: W hile I presented my views a t the' notification proceedings concerning this vital issue the overshadowing im portance of this question impels me to refer to it again. The issue is often times .referred to as Constitutional vs. Imperialism.If we would retain our liberties and constitutional right* unimpaired, we cannot perm it or tolerate, fit any time or for any purpose, the firfOgfitioh of unconstitutional powers by the execu tive branch of our government. We should be ever mindful of the words Of W ebster, “Liberty is only to be pre served by maintaining constitutional restraints and a just view of political powers.” Already the national government has become centralized beyond any point’ contemplated or imagined by the founders of the constitution. How tre mendously ail this has added to the power of the President! it has de veloped from year to year until it al most equals that of many mdnarchs- W hile the growth of our country and the magnitude of inter-State Interestsi may seem to furnish a plausible reason. for this centralization of power, yet these same facts afford the m ost po tent reason why the Executive shall not be perm itted to encroach upon the. other Departments of the -government, and assume legislative, or other pow- ers, not/expressIy conferred by the con stitution: The magnitude of the country and its. diversity of interests and population enable a' determined, ambitious and able Executive, unmindful of constitu tional limitations and- fired with- the lust of power, to go far in the usur pation of authority and the aggandize- m ent of personal power before the situ ation could be fully appreciated or the people be aroused. The issue of imperialism which has been thrust upon the country involves- a decision w hether the law of the land or the rule of individual caprice shall govern. The principle of im per ialism may give rise to brilliant, start ling, dashing results, but the princi ple of Democracy holds in check the, brilliant Executive and subjects him to the sober, conservative control of the people. The people of the United States stand at the parting of the ways. Shall we follow the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever- living spirit of the constitution which they framed for us, or shall we go along otner and untried pares, Hraier- to shunned by all, following blindly, new ideals, which, though appealing; with brilliancy to the imagination and ambition, may prove a will o’ the wisp, leading us into difficulties from which it may be impossible to extricate our selves w ithout lasting injury to our national character and constitutions? . THE TARIFF AND TRUSTS. Tariff reform is one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic Jtafth, and the necessity for it was never greater than at the present time. It should be undertaken a t once in the interest of all our people. The Dmgley tariff is excessive in many of its rates, and, as to them at least, unjustly and oppressively bur dens the people. It secures to domes-, tic m anufacturers, singly or in combi-1 nation, the privilege of exacting ex cessive prices a t home and prices far; above the level of sales made regular-* Iy by- them abroad w ith profit, thus giving a bounty to foreigners a t the expense of our own people. Its un just taxation burdens the people gen erally, forcing them to pay excessive prices for food, fuel, clothing and other necessaries of life. It levies duties on many articles not normally imported in any considerable amount, which are made extensively a t home, for which the most extreme protectionist would hardly justify protective taxes, and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will con tinue to be direct incentive to the for mation of huge industrial' combina tions, which secure from foreign com petition, are enabled to stifle domestic competition and practically to monopo lize home m arket TRUST REMEDIES. I pointed out in my earlier response .the remedy, which ih my judgment, can effectually be applied against mo nopolies, and the assurance was then given' th at if existing laws, including Both statute and Common law, provea inadequate, contrary to my expecta tions, I faver such further legislation w ithin constitutional lim itations, as will best promote and safeguard the interest of all the people. W hether there is any common law -which can be applied and enforced by the Federal Courts, cannot be deter mined by the President, or by a candidate for the presidency. RECIPROCY .In my address to the notification committee I said that tariff reform “is demanded by the best interests of both m anufacturer and consumer ” W ith Vflual truth it can be said th at the \ benefits of reciprocal Uade would enure to both. T hat the con sumer Would be helped is unqestion- able. That the m anufacturer would receive great bfenefit by extending his m arkets abrofid Hfirdly needs demonstration.- H is productive capacity tow Outgrowfi the home market.- The v y term “home m arket” has changed in its significance. Once, from the manufac turers’ point of view, it m eant Expan sion: today the marvelous grow th of our manufacturing industries has tar exceeded the consuifiptiv© capacity ox our domestic m arkets, and Jie term “home m arket” implies contraction rsther than expansion. If w e would run our mills to their full capacity, reus sjivitig steady employment to our workmen fiiid securing to them and. to the m anufacturer the profits accruing from incrU sCd production, other m ark ets m ust HS found. Furtherm ore, when our m anufacturers fire depend ent on raw m aterials in whole Of part imported, it is Vital to the extension or their tTnarkets abroad toat Cy sT cure their m aterials On IMS m ost fav orable terms. . „'• The persistent refusal of the Repub lican majority in the Federal Senate. lo ratify the reciprocity treaties ne- i otiated within the prescribed limita- Sion of two years, in pursuance of the policy advocated alike by Mr. Blaine Lnd Mr. McKinley, and expressly sanc tioned in the Dmgley SCt itself, is a discouraging exhibition of bflo faith. As already mentioned by me, the Cx-. orbitant dutv imposed on many 'a n ’ imported article by the Dingley tariff was avowedly intended by its author not to be permanent, but to serve temporarily as a maximum, ifotS Which the Federal government was empowered Io offer a. reduction, in return for an equivalent CoflCfeSSlon on the part.of a foreign country, president McKinley undertook honestly to carry OlJt the purpose of the act. A num ber of re ciprocity agreem ents were negotiated which, if ratified, would have had th e , two-fold- result Of cheapening many. Imported products for American con-j Burners, and of opening fifld enlarging J foreign m arkets to .Americaii Frodue-1 srs. Nor one or those agreem ents fifis I met w ith the approval of the Repub lican m asters of the Senate. Indeed’ they did fidt even perm it tueir consid-j eration,- In VieW of the attitude of the present Executive Ho new agreem ent under the geriefsl treaty powers need, be expected fiom him. Nor does the Republican platform contSifi a favor-’ able reference to one of the suspend ed treaties. This section of the Ding-; ley act stands forth as a . monument, Df legislative cozenage arid political bad faith. INDEPENDENCE FOR THE FILIP PINOS, In some quarters it has been assum ed that in the discusiori of th e Philip pine question in my response, the. phrase “self-government,’’ was intend-: sd to’ iBfean .soriiething less than inde-’ pendence. it WdS Hot Intended th at it should be understand to mean, nor did I think as used it doSS mean less than indepnedenee. However, to eli minate all possibility for conjecture, t now state th at I am in hearty accord with that plank in our piatiorm tnax favors doing for the Filipinos w hat1 we have already done for the Cubans;: fend I favor making the promise to' them now that we shall take such ac tion as soon as they fire reasonably prepared for it. If independence, such as the Cubans enjoy, cannot be prud ently -granted to the Filipinos a t this time, the promise th at it shall come the moment they are capable of re ceiving it will tend to stim ulate rather than hinder their development. And. this should be done not only in justice to the Filipinos, but to preserve our Own rights; for a free people cannot; withhold freedom from another people and themselves rem ain free. The tol eration of tyranny over others will' Boon breed contem pt for freedom and self-government, and weaken our pow er of resistence to insidious usurpa tion of our constitutional rights. Paragraphs touching upon the Pan ama question, American shipping, army and navy, pensions, and foreign rela tions go fully into these subjects. CONCLUSION. I have put aside a congenial work, to which I had expected to devote my life, In order to assume, as best I can, the responsibilities your convention put put upon.me. I solicit the cordial co-operation and generous assistance of every m an who believes th at a change of measures and if men at. this tim e would be wise, and urge harm ony of endeavor as well as rigorous action on the part of ali so minded. The issues are joined and the people m ust render the verdict. Shall economy of adm inistration be demanded or Shall extravagance h e en couraged? Shall the wrongdoer be brought to bay by the people, or m ust justiee w ait upon political oligarchy? Shall our governm ent stand for equal opportunity or for special privilege? Shalt it rem ain a government of law or become one of individual caprice? i Shall we cling to the rule of-the peo-l pie, or shall we embrace beneficent des-j potism. : W ith calmness and confidence, wd await the people’s verdict. \ If called to the office of.President, I shall consider myself the chief magis-j Irate of all the people and not of any factiori, and shall ever be m indful at the fact th at on m any questions of na-f tional policy there are honest different ces of opinion. I believe in the patriot-: ism, good sense and absolute sincerity of all the people. I shall strive to re member th at he may serve his party best who serves his country b est If J t be the w ish of th e people th a t I undertake the duties.of the presidency, I pledge myself, w ith God’s help, to de vote all my powers and energy to the duties of this exalted office.

The conductor of the car was a Har* vard student naiucd Blanchard. ^For more than two hours the history of the explosion was a complete mys tery and popular fears in the neighbor hood Approached panic, as the belief grew that a deliberate outrage had been perpetrated. Late in the evening, however, the police announced they had made an arrest. It was learned a fifty-pound box of "dynamite had fall en from an express wagon which had passed along the street just ahead of the car. Roy Fenton, the driver, had not discovered his loss till he bad gone several blocks, and though he retraced his w ay as fast as he could the explo sion occurred before he could reach the spot and give w arning of the danger. He was within a hundred yards of the car when it struck the box, but w as so horrified at the havoc wrought that he followed his first instinct and .fled from the scene of the disaster of which he had been the indirect cause. The car had left its terminal in Bos ton at S o’clock, and most of the pas sengers were workingmen returning to their homes in Melrose. The collision occurred a t Main and Wyoming streets. Fortunately this w as near the end of the car’s run, for while every seat w as occupied when the start was made from Boston, it is’ known that many passengers had alighted in Malden and other residen tial districts through which It passed. The crash of the explosion carried news of the disaster all over Melrose, and in an incredibly short space of time a crowd of fully 3000 persons had gathered round the spot and swarmed in from the adjoining streets. All the doctors in Melrose were called upon to meet the emergency, and messen gers were dispatched to summon help from Malden and Medford, and even from Boston. The sight was appalling. Men standing fifty feet away had been injured by broken glass and flying tim bers, and some of the dead and dying had been hurled nearly as far. The ground around w as strewn w ith arms and legs and other parts of human bodies, and the crowd grew hysterical as the police set about tbeir gvewsome task of collecting the dead. One of the passengers of the car said that it seemed as if the car was lifted bodily in the air and came down with a thundering crash, smashing to pieces. The paving stones beneath the car w ere ground into powder by the force of the explosion and the car rails curled up. The faces of all the passen gers were blackened as if by powder and the clothes of many w ere torn into shreds. Several persons were pinned beneath the roar trucks of the car and it took twenty-five or thirty men to lift up the great portions and pull them out. The front portion of the car was shattered and blown in every direc tion, while the fender and front* plat- from were hurled a distance of fifty feet. NEW SERVICE ON TRAINS.

Sstiinater of Railroads Make It 211,- 000,006 BiiGlieIs-Safe From Frost. Omaha, Neb.—The Union Pacific ind the Burlington Railroad made pub ic their estimates on the Nebraska ;oru crop for this year, and both roads aave arrived a t practically the same figures, the Burliugton making the •imnber 211,000,000, and the Union Pa- Jlfic 211,330,303 bushels. The Burlington’s report was compiled i>y the Agricultural Department of the University of Nebraska. Both agree that the quality of the grain is much superior to that of last year, and that the grain will grade very high. The figures given by the railroads are many millions less than those of ordinarily well informed grain dealers, who vari ously estimate the Nebraska corn crop at from 210,000,000 to 275,000,000 bush els. - Reports from all parts of the State show no damage was done to the corn by recent cold, the clouds preventing damaging frosts. Ninety per cent, of the crop is already past the dangei point. • Men’s Fall Styles.

Scientists Say Jt Will Dry Up Within . Half a Century. Statistics Infiieate that Great Salt lake, the Dead sea of America, is doomed—that it Is gradually drying up. The opinion now almost universal ly prevails among scientists that this mysterious body of water,, locafed at, an altitude of 4,210 feet above the sea level and 1,000 miles inland, and Which has but a single rival, the Dead sea of Palestine, is certain within the course of a half century to disappear from the map. Some scientists, who have made a careful study of the fluc tuations of the lake for the past sever al years, even declare that it will be dried up within a quarter of a cen tury. Sixteen years ago, In 1886, the area Cf the lake's surface was estimated at about 2,700 square mites. Taking twenty feet as the average depth at that time, one may estimate 1,605,- 433.600.000 cubic feet as the. contents of the lake. To-day, according to re cent surveys, the lake has an area of about 2,125 square miles. Multiplying this number by 11%, the number of feet in depth of the water that has dis appeared" and not been replaced; gives 669.778.400.000 cubic feet as the quan tity of w ater less than what the lake had sixteen years ago. Observers of the lake have assigned three causes for the shrinkage of its water. They are evaporation, irriga tion and a subterranean outlet that some suppose to exist. There are ar dent advocates of each of these theor ies. RearAdiiIraI Ricitbora] ReeosiitneniisPe-nHUi ' W T T l Editor Shepard's News. W hen the late Elliott F.

WRITHN FOR THE RECORD. * The following quotation from Mr. Jefferson delivered March 4th, 1801, is most appropriate and applicable i. e,- “A jealous care of the right of election, by the people and absolute acquiescence in the decisions of the majority.” He also.stafes in the same address. •‘That if men can’t govern' them selves they are not qualified to govern others.” AU know the abyve to be true, and yet the most casual observer of our civil affairs will see power delegated to men of little integrity, and small ability, simply because they were instru mental in inducting some man into office by participating in crime, lawlessness and fraud, and yet these acts by some are extolled as being conducive to the felicity of the “common wealth.” Inefficient and dishonest men are not capable of administering equity to the governed. “No one who can’t master himself is worthy to rule, and only he can rule.” If a man is uujast he can’t impart this vir tnetoothere, lnthermore a man can’t give to another what he doesn’t possess. “He orders the commission of crime who does not forbid it, when it is in his power.” Criminals and law-brakers are aware of the signal failure of the eoprts to punish those jwho commit a breach of law, except he be a poor chicken' thief. “He injures good men who spares the wicked.” Demosthenes in his “oration on the embassy,” addressed to the court at Athens, has the following to say: “That you will value no person and no one’s favor more highly than justice and the oath which each juror has sworn. How befitting is the above quota tion of that most eminent and virtuous Greecian statesman, ut tered two thousand years ago to the courts of today. Why can’t America produce eloquent, bril liant, loyal and honest statesmen, and orators as she did of yore? Upon whom’ has the effulgent and immaculate marilelof Washington, Jeffersoh, Adams, Madison, Mon roe, Hamilton, Clay1Webster aud Henry fallen? . Dr. E. M. Griffin, Farmington, N. C.

There is a heavy penalty for reusing postage stamps. Some one sent in a letter Tuesday that had been used and the can celled marks were very plain on the stamp. Some one may get in the Federal, Courts if they don’t quit. The best indication of the feel ing of the American people is found in the fact that' merchants are buying goods, confident that business is not to be disturbed by a change of administration, Among the other ‘ charges of ex travagance, Judge Parker ommit- ted to call attention to the fact that the interest on the government debt was §9,000,000 less last year than it was under Mr. Cleveland’s administration. Senator Teller declares that “the Democratic party is a progressive party.” The Senator has discov ered that the Democratic party is moving along forward and has about reached the point where the Republican party was when he left it eight years ago. Judge Parker complains that the expense of the. administration un der President Roosevelt is greater than that under Cleveland. Yes, and the government is paying the .expense in cash instead of adopt ing the Cleveland plan of borrow ing money in times of profound peace. Nu-TGi-OLA & NatureGUASft-er«iy Itm el skm Dbuse.

It has recently been discovered that the irms that produce Malaria, breed and mul- ply In the intestines and from there spread iroughout Uie system by means of the blood. This fact explains why Malaria ishaM to euro by the old method of treatment. Quinine, Iron, eto., stimulate the nerves and build up the blood, but do not destroy the germs that’cause the disease. Bydale's Tonic has a specific effect upon the Intestines and bowels, freeing them from all disease breeding microbes. It also kills the germs that infest the veins and arteries. It drives from the blood all poisonous matter and makes it rich and healthy. BYDALE'S TONIC is a blood builder, a nerve restorer, and a Malaria destroyer.
