The debate now going on in Con-
gre7s will be chronicled as one of the
greatest in the nations history. It
is fight between Democracy and
Republicanism, right and wrong.
Hon. Roger @. Mills, of Texas,
made speech Monday that is acknowl-
edged as great effort. He attacked
the war tariff and its Republican auth
ors in mastery way. We quote
the closing sentences:
The gentlemen Republicans who
represent the minority of the COM
mittee on.ways and means boast that
they have reduced taxation $360.000,-
600. They point with pride to the
splendid column which they have
erected, but that column has no stone
in it to tell of their devotion to the
masses who live by daily toll. 1t is
built by blocks OF marble, every one
OF which speaks OF favo ritism tc the
wealthy, of special privileges to rich
and powerful classes. In 1883 they
finished this magnificent shaft, which
they have beer for years erecting,
and crowned it with the last stone by
repeating the internal tax on playing
cards and putting 20 per cent tax
on the Bible.

The SENTINEL has before express
sed faith in the road. Now, more

built. Everything points that way,
and the business men of Winston
Salem have shown such ability and
energy in the work and have succeed

they have undertaken in the matter,
that there is little room to doubt the
construction of this through line that
means so much to the Twin City and

We were in error last week

We were in error last week in stat
ing that Mr.. j. w. Goslen was Chair
man of the Republican Executive
Committee Anderson Stipe is the
only man who claims that office. As
some people think that our article last
week was a reflection on the personal
character of Mr. Goshen, we de-
sire, voluntarily, to say in JUS
to him and to ourself that it was not
so intended. The editor of The SEN
TINEL and the editor of the Republi-
can are on very friendly terms and
every action of Mr.. Goshen, within
our knowledge, has been that of a
gentleman. We say this of our own
accord, for we believe that every man
is entitled to that respect and courtesy
which he merits, and while THE SEN
TINEL proposes to fight for the Dem
ocracy with its utmost strength, we
intend to do it in a manly, straight
forward way. We have never stoop-
ed to viIlifying innocent persons for
party capital and we never will. The
Democracy has no need for it and our
own tastes and principles forbid it.

Alexander the governorship. Wheth-

more than mere talk, is uncertain.
