Dsath ofDr. Thos. F. Wood.

1t is our sad duty to-day to
chronicle the death of one of the
most distinguished physicians and
one of the best men in North Carroll
ma. DIR. Thomas F. Wood Of this city
passed away yesterday about 3
O'Clock. p. m., and the announces

with sincere sorrow by this entire
community-as it will be where
ever he was known. And yet, we

every expression of regret that was
uttered. there was another, to the
effect that it was we'll with him in

THE DANGER OF NEGRO RULE,
Webster's Weekly.

What is the situation in this
State. The vote of 1888 was:
Fowle, 147,925; Dockery, 133.475,
making a majority of 1880 for
Fowle. Now in the event that
every white Republican in the
State goes over to the Peoples
party there will be about 10000
negro votes left Take $4,000
votes from the Democratic party,
and give shem to the new party ,and
the negro party goes in. Every
sane man knows that only small
per cent. of the white Republicans
will leave their party, The mas
iority will remain, even if they
have to submit to negro rule. So
division among the white people of
the State can only result in negro
rule. The negroes will not di-
vide. Their leaders see their ops
portunity and will improve it. The
negro vote can be solidifed in day.
A toot of the horn by their leaders
in all that ID necessary. We want
tho white men Of North Carolina te
think about these things. We
want them to decide whether OF

They put il in their platform, in order
to catch the prohibition vote, and
they put up men for Office pledged to
violation of the law and to the pardon
of men convicted Of it's violation, in
order to catch the vote of the other
fellows; and with this policy OF de-

conduct their campaign. There seems

THE SAME OLD STORY.
happened

To the Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
At the state house in Topeka on the
evening of March i l listened to an able
and interesting speech delivered by ex-
Senator Ingalls,. There are few points
In the honorable gentlemanS speech l
wish to notice. He said: "Next to loyal
Republican l like q true Democrat"
Then he intlmated that the Democrats
are filthy, and will continue to be filthy.
He said: "Let every man be something.
II Republican, let let him be Republi-
can; il Democrat, let him be Democrat
If he be filthy, let him be filthy STILL"
Mr.. Ingalls, said: "The Democrats in this
state have never defeated anybody but
themselves. For seven years they have
been in the market to the highest bid
der. As matter Of fact, there is no
such thing as a Democratic party. 1t is an
incOherent aggregation Of the vice, crime
and degradation In every community
where it lives. II Is broken down. Its
constitution has been injured by early
indiScretionS; it needs thorough course
OF Alternative treatment. In It's contem-
plated nuptisls with the Peoples party
it needs tonic, and we propose TO give
It."
Have John ]. Ingalls, and the Republi-
can party already forgotten their persist
ent woolng Of, their warm professions Of
love for, and their marriage with the
Democrats Of this state last fallY Is It
possible that the beauty and purity Of
the Democracy, which seems to have
shone with such splendor and captivating
efulgence that the Republicans lost their
heart and almost their head In demand
ing her hand In marriage, should have
lost in 30 short time, not only all these
beautiful attractions, but should have be.
come ugly, diseased and filthy, and heI

Tossing to wish for q divorce. We doubt

II they could furnish a guaranty that the In

not effect depreciation In value that would call
for another issue to make good the discrepancy
between the new Issue and gold, and so on al In.

History itself furnishes the guar
snty. The first 6O,OOO,OO3 of treasury
notes issued by the government at
the beginning of the war, which were
full legal tender for all debts public
and pri late, remained at par with
gold during the whole period Of de-
probation of other currency, and 80
would any other issue of government
money if likewise made full legal
tender, and the editor of the Eagle
is perfectly aware Of this fact.

THAT WICKED SUB.TREASURY SCHEME.
The opposition press would have
the people believe the sub treasury
plan Of the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union is a very wicked in
vention, designed to levy extOrtionate
tribute upon the poor laboring people
Of our cities, and enrich the svariCious
farmers. This is called robbing by
class Legislation.
When John D. Rockefeller, James
7. North and James W. Mackey cor

STILL DOING BUSINESS AT THE OLD

COLUMBUS, Ohio, March In the QuO-war-
rantO suit instituted by Attorney Gen, raj Wat
son Of this state nearly two years ago to test
the legality Of the charter Of the monopoly
known as the Standard Oh Company, the Ohio
supreme court rendered It's decision Tuesday, IL
Is against the company. The incorporation Of
the original company is not annulled, but the
trust agreement between IL and other oil con-
Germs, forming the trust, is declared to DO
Illegal. It's regarded as one Of the most Inn
pOrrant decisions ever rendered by this court.
The case was fought by the Standard OH Com

but now there iS no longer any ground
for doubt; the professions Of love then
and the rawlings Of denunclatlons now are
proofs Of insanity, for It Is utterly impos-
sible that such an extraordinary change
could take place IN so short time. We
could understand II one party should
happen, by some peculiar phenOmnOn, to
begin very rapid growth and progress
towards honesty and purity and the other
party deteriorate suddenly, losing the
good they possessed last fall, there would
be some ground for divorce, but the
actions Of both seem about the same, and
If there has been any change in their
character it Is not perceptlble to the
public.
Senator Ingalls, Is an able speaker, but
some of his arguments are not consistent
with existing facts. The people are not
so easily blinded now as they used to be.

A DANGEROUS RELAPSE.


seized with another of its periodic
prohibition spssms. 1t is q well
known fact that for year past the
leaders of the party have had their
heads together and have been con-
triviDg how they could eliminate the
question Of prohibition from politics
in this state. They have seen the ne
cessity of pacifyiDg the resubmission
element in their party and they had
practically agreed to ignore the ques-
tion altogether.
The st. Louis conference confined
itself to the economic questions which
underlie the industrial revolution
now in progress, and this fact has
given rise to the relapse Of the Re-
publican bosses and press in this
state. Prohibition lin the platform
must again become an issue in Kan
sas, and these grand old hypoCritee
who put prohibition in their platforms
and then elect men to Office expressly
pledged to ignore the law and render
it's provisions nugatory, will again
seek to throw dust in the eyes Of the
people in order to blind them to the
economic issues that are absorbing
the attention of the people in all parts
of the land.
The Capital of March 2, is out in
an editorial upon the subject char
aCterized by the usual degree of ny
pocrisy and mendscity. Listen to the
following:
The Sc. Louis conference, which repudlated
prohibition by unar imons vote, lUGS mGtn'l
composed of delegates from this state, and Is &C
cepted by the country at large as representing
the sentiments Of the farmers of Kansas.
The Capital knows perfectly well
that the above statement is absolutely
false. Nothing but plain English
Will suitably characterize such men
dscity. The Capital knowingly and
wilfully lies when it says that con-
ference "was mainly composed oi
delegates from this state" 1t knows
that every state in the union was fully
represented, and the apportionment
was equal to all organizations repre-
sented in proportion to membership.
Kansas was entitled under the latest
arrangement to just twenty delegates
from the Farmers Alliance, and the
delegation from other industrial or
ganizations of the state was still less
Yet in the face of this fact and the
further fact that there were about
thousand delegates in the conference
the Capital says it "was mainly com
posed of delegates from this state
The statement fully illustrates itt
usual reliability upon all questions
upon which it speaks.
Again it says the action Of the con
ference upon the prohibition ques-
tion sis accepted by the country al
large as representing the sentiment
of the farmers of Kansas"
If such is the case the CapitaP'
new boom for prohibition will not
create any great enthusiasm. II tho

THE CONDITION THAT C0NFR0NTS US.
70 che Editor Of The ADVOCATE.
A grave condition conirOnts the Ameri-
can people; a condition that should be
calmly and honestly considered by all
who have desire to see the people Of
this great country happy and prosperous.
The most abundant crop Of all the prod
ucts that should bring wealth and pros
perity to its possessOrs has been |garnered
in the United States by her people, that
has been produced for many years an
abundance and to spare-and demand
never before equaled, and yet low prices,
want and destitution prevail beyond
mans comprehension. Honest tOllers by
the thousands in Chicago alone tramp
from morning until night, begging for
bread, unable to get a job at any price.
Chicago is not alone in this matter either.
Every city in the United States is thus to
greater or less degree affected. And
whyS God knows the earth has brought
forth her fruit In double measure, and
willing hands at every turn beg for
chance to work that they may make use
Of these God given products; but some
power or system lntervenes and relent-
lessly cries, Mol
Is this the goal that our boasted nine
teenth century civilization has brought
us TO, or does some demon from the PIT
control the affairs Of mon to-dsyP
Such claim is cowardlce. Man Is to-
day, as at all times, originator of the
times about him when nature brings
forth abundantly, as ls the case to-day.
The systems that men have fastened
upon us are the leeches that to day drink
the life blood OF the people, and each Of
the old parties are to blame for the con-
dltlon that now confronts us-a poor peo-
pie with an immense crop; that ia our
condition. Weighted down with our
productions, and made poor by our sys-
tenn. The same system exists 10 the
same degree north, south, east and west.
Il ls the same, whether the Democrats
rule the state, or the Republicans.
Therefore neither can be supposed to
possess the remedy capable Of coping
with the condition upon us. Not only
ls such the case, but the old party leaders
declare no remedy is required; that the
condition Is the result OF natures laws,
therefore unchangeable. In fact, these
party leaders profess to believe that
bountiful production brings to the people
poverty, not prosperity. They declare
our debts represent our wealth, and OF
course good crops represent our poverty.
Thereby these people reverse not only
the laws OF business, but the. laws Of
God. Seeing then that there Is no hope
for q change Of the system that makes
the people poor In purse who become
rich In products, who remain with our
old political household, let US cast about
for new friends and q new freside, where
he who sOws may reap, and he who tolls
and brings forth NAV. as in days of old,
enjoy life beneath bis own vine and fig
tree. w. A. TURNER, NJ. D.
