Would they not, one and all, say

But see how the climax is capped
when The Times, with evident sin
cerity, "ifs" as follows:
n the Congress- NJ lts session this winter will
make provisions Tor free coinage OF silver and
tho Increase Of tho greenback currency 40 the
rate OF siOOOOOOO month, there will be no trouble
about eecting republican president and Con
Toss In 1902. Such course would produce great
and lasting prosperity throughout the whole
country.
All, but there's the rub! You ought
to know, Colonel Anthony, that Ben
iamin Harrison would veto such leg
islation, for the manufacturers and
plutOcrats who elected him 10 the pres
idency would not permit him to do
any such thing in the interest OF the

THE CORPORATIONS.

Mighty Mighty are we,
Our power? The wealth OF the land.
Beware! Who would meddle with me
Or venture 70 raise his hand.
But what care we for the puuy hand,
Or the Cl0d who would limit our sway.
Our strength IL built on the laws OF the Ian Il,
All things must give us way
They who would change this order OF things
We brand them as "traltOrsn aud "cranks,' -
but never fear there are fools enough
To take their place In our ranks.
We have not y care which party wins,
AS we can control them both,
Our bonds are safe, our Interest high,
And nothing can stop our growth.
so men may live, or men may die,
Women sorrow, or children cry.
Our bonds are safe, our interest hlgh,
And we Wll not hear humanlty's Sigh.

The republican party In Kansas In
state, Congressional, county and in Rep
resentative district convention assembled
for the purpose Of nominating candl-
dates for the suGrageB Of the people and
TOR placing them upon supposed declara-
ton OF principles, saw 40 20 be dictated
10 by the fearful octopus Of Ingallsism
and hence made this man John james
Ingalls,, the literal embodiment Of their
principles as far as their open shame
and attempted deoeitful methods with
the voters over this great state Of Kansas
would permit. In fine, they staked every
thing upon Ingalls, and they have most
earfully-irreparably lost. BY their
contemptuous and desperate methods,
practlced upon the plain people, scattered
over the prairies OF Kansas, they have
most unmistakably met fate that con-
signs them 10 a most highly msrited and
most Justly retrIbutive oblivion, which
ere long will locate them In the minds Of
earnest, Intelligent and thoughtful peo-
pie Of every class as an organization that
Is m the doubtful mode, and more than
that, In the past tense.

The foregoing from the Leaven-
worth Times is one Of the post-eleC-
tion notes that but for an everwbelm-
ing collapse Of the republican party
in Kansas, as far as the law making
power in the state and nation is con-
Cerned, might never have been writ
ten.
But a second sober thought con-
corning the true and really disastrous
situation Of the country on the part
Of any or many republicans is ever in
order, and especially 80 is at this
time, when the republicans have just
emerged from a contest where they
barely save two representatives for
the next Congress because men who
substantially think alike failed to get
together while the peoples party
chose Ave represententatives by over
whelming maiorities
In the Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh Congressional districts
sundry republican candidates and
campaigners traversed Che eighty
'line counties of these districts, and
they, in their political sudacity and
ignorance, most severely Calumniated
he speakers and writers in the inter- {
est OF the peoples cause for their ut I

have lnslnuated that Senator Carroll and
Representative Neelsy, democrats, and

would give their votes 10 Mr.. Ingalls,

more violent presumption that ever
emanated from the brain Of a manager2
In the Fourth district, the home OF
Senator Buchan, the loss 10 Ingalls, is
$3.50, and the two Representatives from
Wyandotte county are utterly beyond the
control Of BuChan and Ingalls,. Why
should not this be a small object lesson
10 these astute, irridescent statesman
Buchan and IngallsY
In the Fifth district Senator Carroll
can perceive a republican loss Of 1925,
and also the probable loss Of an Ingalls,
Representative, j. b. Remington.
In the Sixth district even Senator
Moody could not save the Representa-
tives that were expected to be elected
for Ingalls, with such an exceeding as

In the Seventh district, where at Fort
Scott Senator Ingalls, made his stereo-
typed speech, In which he proved him
self TO beunable TO have any cOmpre-
hensiOn OF decent politics, as a visible
fruit Of his belief the Bourbon county
people changed a republican majority Of
947 In 1888 to that Of an opposition ma
iority Of 074 in 1890, though the junior

Of l,7l5 that he is not expected to do il

who was In the House Of 1889, was beaten
In the late race on the fear that he might
prove untrue to his indefinite pledges
though republican nOminee-to vote
against Ingalls,.
In the Ninth district Senator Norton
can perceive that the opposition majority
OF Cherokee county Of GIG In 1888 has
now the figure Of 2,154, and that will find
himself unable to give a good account Of
his stewardship, were he to slaughter his
constituents by listening to the the syren
song Of the Ingalls, flxers and thus cast
his vote in the interest Of plutocracy for
the lmperlalistiC Ingalls,
In the tenth district, where Charles II.
Kimball in 1883 was really defeated by
seven votes; the people of Labette coun-

Congressman Perkins, have given notice

FOR COMMISSIONER OF lMMIGRA-
TTON.

Mr.. p. M. Wilson, Commissioner of
immigration for North Carolina, has
resigned. His place is to be filled and
the GOLD LEAF suggests as his successor
Mr.. ]. a. Harrell, gentleman whom
it believes is we'll qualified to under
take the work. He is known througout
the State as 4 wide awake, active,
stirring man, and has already had
valuable experience as an immigration
Agent, having been engaged in this
line of work for several years past.
Quite a number of people and no
small amount of capital and indus
tries of various kinds have been in
duCed to seek homes and investment
IN the State through his agency. Mr..
Harrell is 4 tireless worker, full of
energy and industry, is loval son of
North Carolina, devoted to her inter-
ests and would do good and lasting
service if elevated to position of this
kind where his field Of operation would
be larger and his means of carrying
out the work greater. We suggest the
name of Mr. Harrell because he would
make an active and efficient Commits
sioner of immigration and one whose
good work might be seen in every Dor
ton of North Carolina.

THE NASH COUNTY RAILROAD.

Henderson votes on the Henderson
& Nashville railroad in few days.
We take it for granted that the vote
will be large majority in favor of the
road. We cannot conceive the posi-
bility of a people who are SO largely
interested in the road, indeed, upon
the building of which the future pros
perity of their town depends, being so
unwise as to vote against it. One
thing they may rest assured OF, the
time has come when men are not going
to haul tobacco twenty-five miles on
wagons when they can send it on a
railroad, and if a railroad is not fur
nished them to take their tobacco d.
rect to Henderson, it will go some
where else.-Nashville Argonaut
1t affords us great pleasure to be
able to inform our esteemed contem-
porary that the election was held Mon
day, and resulted in favor of subscrip-
ton. The people Of Henderson know
what is best for them and their town
and they do not propose TO take Lack
ward step. Forward is the watchword
and the Nash county railroad will be
built.

THERE is something sweetly touch
ing and beautiful in the recent mar
rage of Mr.. William Jordan, of Law
renceburg, Indiana, and Miss Mary
Kepner, Of Cincinnati, after an en-
gagement of thirty years. When the
war broke out Jordan enlisted and was
badly wounded. He was the only
support of his mother and dutiful and
faithful son that he was he preferred
to sacrifice his own happiness that he
might minister to the wants and CON-
forts of the woman who was first of all
others to him. Manned and reduced
to poverty his marriage was postponed
and now after the lapse of more than
a quarter of century Mr.. Jordan and
his sweetheart who has all these long
years remained true to her first love
have been rewarded for their patient
waiting by happy union Of hearts
and hands at the marriage altar. 1t
is needless to say that the man who
was SO good to his mother will be good
to the woman who has become his
wife.

The Leaksville Gazette points out
fact to which we would direct the
attention OF our Democratic Alliance
friends, when it says:
The National Republican party is
basing sanguine hopes upon what it
deems the probable result of Alliance
policy in the South. Republicans in
this county are counting on aid and
comfort from that organization; and
we believe an internal scheme has al
ready been concocted at Republican
headquarters to debauch the Alliance
and thus destroy Southern solidity.
Nor is this opinion simply speculative.
There are numerous "straws' which
plainly show the direction in which
the wind is blowing. And in all pos
Slble earneStness we warn our friends
OF the Alliance to guard zealously the
purity of their Eden, lest the Shiny
trail of the Republican serpent pollutes
the atmosphere of their Paradise, and
make thorns of discord grow where
only fragrant flowers of peace and
patriotism should bloom.

OUTSPOkEN FOR VANCE.

Mr.. Henry e. Bourne, of Edgecombe
county, Democrat and a member OF
the Farmers Alliance, does not en-
dorse the attack made by the Pro-
gyessiue Farmer, the Alliance "organ'
in this State, upon Senator Vance. Mr..
Bourne is a prominent and intelligent
gentleman and has held important Offices
of trust and honor in his county.
Writing to the Tarboro Soulhe,ner,
he expresses himself in regard to the
article in question as follows:
would like 20 know if our candi
dates for the Legislature endorse IT..
am free to say if they do ! can't
support them. They are all personal
friends of mine ard especially the head
of the ticket, but | would not support
nv brother who would endorse that
article.
The farmers in my opinion don't
need any new legislation for their re-
lief, but repeal of all the obnoxious
laws that have SO long been expressing
them and which the Democratic party
has never had the power to repeal.
The Democratic party has been
| fighting for the rights of the farmers
and laboring men as long as can re-
member and let the Alliance give us a
Democratic legislature, full control
of the Federal legislation and the
farmers and laborers will soon find re-
lief by the repeal OF all the laws that
have so long oppressed the farmers
and not by any new legislation.
| am an Alliance man in thought, in
feeling, and in action 50 long as it is
consistent with good common sense
and reason, but not in prejudice against
every body and profession save farming
or who differs with me.

this year, and the larger portion of the

negroes. Natural odor combined with
cheap perfume made it too disagreed

No SAFER COUNSELLOR THAN
ZEBULON Il. VANCE.

The National Democrat, published
at Washington city, one of the ablest
as it is one of the most conservative
and fair minded of papers, says this
of Senator Vance:
There is no safer counsellor in the
Democratic party than the distinguished
Senator from North Carolina, Zebulon
B. Vance He is the idol of his people
at home, for they have unlimited con-
fdence in his wisdom. If his counsels
had been listened to in IS6o,we should
have had no great Civil War-at least
not then, for he declared boldly for
the Union But when the war came
on he went bravely with and for the
people whom he loved. Every honor
the State of North Carolina could con-
fer has been given him almost without
the asking; and SO faithful has he been
to every trust that he is now every
where known as the peoples friend.
When, therefore, recently, the farmers
Of the country, feeling as they justly
do that the laws of the land discrimi-
nate against them unjustly, organized
themselves for self protection and
began to look around for leader,
their eyes naturally rested on Zeb
Vance.
To him they turned to introduce
the subtreasury bill, measure that
seemed to promise the relief they SO
much needed. Mr.. Vance introduced
it by request. This left him of course
free to consider the bill carefully on
its merits and he did SO. * Sure
ly the true Democrats of the country,
in face of the overwhelming testimony
as to the impracticablity and uncon-
sttutionality of the sub-treasury scheme
will not permit themselves to be driven
away from the support of those, whom
they have heretofore trusted, simply
because these leaders have lad the
courage of their convictions. They
ought rather to be honored for their
fidelity to trust. The letter of Senator
Vance will so long way to convince
many who have heretofore favored the
treasury scheme that it is thorough
ly impractiCable. Many will reluc-
family come to this conclusion-none
perhaps more reluctantly than the
Senator himself, yet that is the con-
Clusion he has arrived at.
