The members of the family retired to

HIS MANL1NEss

One great reason for the promin-
ence of Grover Cleveland in American
politics is his manliness Indeed, !"
says Charles Francis Adams, sit may
well be questioned whether any presi
dent, in dealing with an important
question of public policy, ever acted
from higher or more disinterested
motives than did Cleveland when he
took the course he did in his annual
message of 1887" Cleveland was
prat tically sure of reelection, go ad-
mirable was his administration
Public opinion was in his favor.
There was no decrease in values or
disasters in business such as had
been predicted, and as is now predic-
ted, by Republican party organs.
It was an era OF great good to the
whole country. and especially to the
South. His reelection was practi-
cally assured But Grover Cleveland
recognized the injustice ofthe tariffsys
tenn the and Mills Bill was formulated.
The Republicans raised an enormous
campaign fund from the protected
interests and bought the election of
Mr.. Harrison. Cleveland had sacri-
iced himself for q principle. That
vas manliness; that was patriotism

wOMEN'S PRESS CLUBS.

There are great many women of
culture in North Carolina who write
for newspapers and periodicals. In
fact North Carolina can boast of one
lady who makes journalism her pro-
fession, ohe bright and versatile Miss
Williams, of the Charlotte Observer
The Richmond Dispatch has a well
written article in a recent issue
strongly urging the formation in
Virginia of a Woman's Press Associ-
ton, and one of the reasons urged is
that it will benefit the members who
intend to go to the Worlds Fair.
The writer in the Dispatch says
'sAll press clubs and journalistic
associations OF women will be speci-
ally we'll cared for by the woman's
department at the fair They will
have commodious and elegant head
quarters in the woman's building,
and every facility for seeing and
hearing. The woman journalist will
be privileged and fortunate woman
in 1898. tits strange that the many
bright women of Virginia who write
for newspapers and periodicals have
never formed themselves into press
associst ton. This is an excellent
time to inauguratesu such movement.
at the great International EXPOSE
tion they would meet on equal terms
the brightest feminine literary lights
of all the countries of our planet,
and we are sure would add to the
lustre of the galaxy"
With North Carolina" substitu-
ted for Virginia in the above ex-
tract, every word of it will apply
with equal force to the literary wo-
men of our State. We hope some
action will be taken by them towards
forming a press club. The ladies are
doing a great deal more than the
men towards having North Carolina
creditably represented at Chicago.
Whatever they undertake will assur-
eddy prove successful, and we believe
that if they go to work and organize
a North Carolina Woman's Press
Association, it will work out for their
own good and reflect honor upon the
Old North State.

S. Onto WILSON DENIES.
But Chairman Simmons Shows His
Denial Don't Deny

RALEIGH, Oct. 24.-S. Ohio Wilson,
Chairman of the Peoples party, has
written to Chairman Simmons of the
Democratic party denying the exist
ence of Gideon's bands, in the face of
the fact that Messrs. Reed and Bell.
two prominent Alliancemen have said
that Wilson had offered to initiate
them into this society.
He says: IF there is in North Ca
DINA a secret political society known
as 'Gideon's Band, or by any other
name, or If there has been a political
society which controls or has tried to
control the people or policy of any
political party. other than the coun-
ellis OF the party itself, l am in ignor-
ance of of its existence
Mr.. Simmons in reply says: s'At
the request of Mr.. Wilson, I desire
through the medium of the press to
lay before the people of North Caro-
lima the above letter, which [ think
contains the strongest possible proof
Swer.
HE admits by not denying under
circumstances which imperatively call
for denial if one had been intended
the existence in North Carolina of
'Gideons Band; admits that Reed
and Bell have correctly described the
machinery by which it works; that
the Gideonites are bound by oath I'M
der severe. penalties to execute all
orders emanating from their super
OrS; admit that he initiated Reed
and made Inn chief in the ninth con-
gressional district: admits that he
made overtures to Bell to join and
revealed to him the secrets of the
band; admits that he declared the
purposes of the Band are to promote
the reform movement.
"IheSe facts being admitted, people
will not accept Mr.. Wilson's conclu-
sion as to whether they constitute a
political society, especially when it is
well known that he and some of his
followers have very eccentric notions
about what is political.
These facts admitted, as / have
shown, by Mr.. Wilson, show we'll
defined political organization. There
seems to be conSideral obtuSeness on
the part of some people in North Car
DINA as to what constitutes political
action. If Messrs. Reed and Bells
letters left any doubt land ] think
they did not in the minds of the peo-
pie about the actual existence here of
a secret political society, Wilson's let
ter finally removes that doubt.
The existence of 'Gideon's Band in
North Carolina and the statements OF
Reed and Bell not being denied, the
people will. of course, form their opin-
ion of its character and objects from
the statements of these gentlemen. Ii
the order is political it is unlawful, if
not political, but merely intended to
control and direct the deliberations
of the Alliance, then it is an outrage
upon the members of the Alliance
| who have not been admitted to its
| secrets, that a secret cabal should
have been formed within their order
to clandestinely control its councils. .

MARION CANNON, the Third party
nominee for Congress in the Sixth
California District, was endorsed by
the Democrats, and in his letter ac-
cepting the nomination he says: 81
am also glad to see. that the Demo-
cratic party in this district has not
yielded to the demands of the rail-
read corporation who are clamoring
for my defeat; but on the contrary
stands as resolutely against monop-
oily as the Peoples party ITSELF"
The further West one goes the more
he finds the Democrats and the Third
party men standing together.

RBBUKE CORRUPTION

The Republican managers in New
York have been twice caught at their
corrupt practices. The first case was

man Hackett which was such an in
dication of vote-buying that White
law Reid's organ. the Tribune, refus-

money to print it as an advertise.
ment. Now comes to light a letter
showing that the Republican mana
ger sent $500 to the Republican Com
mittee of Schenectady county 5osten-
sibly ito register voters" The man
who received it lost the letter and
was willing to give $500 to get his
letter back. The amount sent to
Schenectady coanty indicates that
the amount of money to be used by
the Republicans in the country dis
tricts alone Is over q quarter of q
million dollars. 1t means a million
dollars in the State. In this way the
Republican managers hope to buy
the country with the immense sums
of money which those who receive
special benefits from the Republican
tlriff policy are willing to pay in or
der that they may continue to pile up
fortunes at the expense of the masses
of the people. Let us rebuke this
corruption by driving out of office
the party that practicesit SO hugely.

BLAINE was talking through his
hat when he declared that the farm
ers of New York were never before SO
prosperous as they are now. His
statement has been demolished by
a farmer in Genesee county who
shows that 80 per cent of the farms
in that county are mortgaged. The
truth of this is attested by the coun
ty clerk, who is a Republican. 1t is
also proved that the value of farm
lands in Genesee county has decreas-
ed from 20 to 80 per cent since 1888.

THE SITUATION.

The Washington Post of Monday
has summed up the political situa-
ton by special kilograms from vari
Gus points of the country. In New
Hampshire it appears that the strife
between Senators Chandler and Gal
linger may result in Harrison losing
the Granite State. In New York
State the Democrats count on sc, COO
plurality. according to Gov. Flower,
and the chances are excellent of
Democrat succeeding Senator His
cock. West Virginia is overrun with
speakers and flooded with campaign
literature, and both sides claim the
State. Virginia will be carried by
Cleveland, as the Third Party will
not receive over 5000 votes. Vic
tory in Nebraska is claimed by each
party The Weaver electors will
probably win because of a tacit un
Outstanding that the Democrats will
vote for them in order to defeat the
Republicans. In Kansas, too, there
is great uncertainty. In that State
is being waged the greatest political
battle ever seen in the West The
Fusion party claims As, 900 MAORI
ty over the Republicans. AS in Ne
braska, the Democrats will vote for
the Weaver electors. The Indiana
legislature will probably be Demo
cratic and the State, too. It is esti<
mated that Cleveland will carry New
Jersey by majority of 1000 or
more. Illinois will probably elect
Democratic Governorssowing to local
issues, but both sides claim the State
on national issues. The Republicans
are spending money in Delaware, but
they can hardly hope to buy the
State. In Alabama the "fusion"
fixed up by Boss Magee of Pennsyl-
vania is weakening and the regular
Democrats will carry the State. The
Populists and Democrats have fair
chance to elect an anti-Republican
legislature and there will be four an
til Harrison electors.

A good report was made of the
work of Rev. r. P. Pell in the
mountainous counties of Watauga

where there were fifteen months ago
no Presbyterian churches and no
Presbyterians except one or two scat
tered famil les, there are now two
churches, one at Elk Park with seven
teen members and one at Cove Creek
with nine members with three or four
at other points that will be ready for
organization the coming year.

lished two schools; one at Spruce

school he has the management and
two estimable ladies from Greensboro

to run the names of the Presidential
candidates at the mast head of Re-
publican papers in a Presidential
campaign and he knows too that
he does not do it in his paper because
the very name of Harrison, who re-
