Mr.. Gladstone addressed the house
of commons yesterday, and gave little
evidence of physical weakness. In his
speech he outlined a new policy In
British politics, and that was opposi-
tion to the house of lords. This will
be in the future leading issue be-
tween the parties in the empire, and
there cannot be the least doubt of the
final result. The house of lords is
doomed, and, although the revolution
may not come suddenly, it will be
thorough and certain. 1t is not at all
probable that the lords desire any con-
Hict with the commens and will avert
the conflict by every possible means;
but it must come, and since Mr.. clad
stone has taken the lead in that dlrec
ton, the Liberal party will follow him
with the greatest cen6dence. The
course of Mr. Gladstone heretofore
has been in accordance with the Brit
ish constitution; but to eradicate the
house of lords policy must be fol-
lowed that antagonizes this instru-
ment. But the constitution of the
empire has grown and expanded with
the advancement of the people, and is
elastic to stand this desir-
able innovation. With this unrepre-
sentative body obliterated from the
government of Great Britain that
country will be the freest nation in
Europe, and may be classed beside
hat of the United States.

"Wits win. The career of one

penniless, is to belt the globe this year

but such judgment will be inconsid-

doing far more difficult feat than has

"Jones' project, when triumphantly
consummated, will have proven fine

Could Not Touch the Dead BODY

MoRaANToN, N. G, Feb. William
Causby, young man, was murdered laet
Saturday night, about two miles from
this place. There was no clue to the
murderer other than the fact that sylvia
nus Morrow, James Whisenhunt and
Philip Williams had been seen with Caus-
By near where he was found dead. At
the inquest these three were summoned
as witnesses. Nothing beyond the fact
that they were with Causby was devel-
oped while Morrow and Wbiseuhunt we're
on the stand. As each witness was d.
rected to step aside, he was asked to put
his hand on the dead body, which had
not been removed from the place where
it bad been found. Morrow and
Whisenhunt did not hesitate to comply
with this request, but 1t was noted that
Williams while being examined was in
state of mental excitement, and when be
was requested to put his hand on the
body he broke down CON pletelv and de-.
ciared he could not dn so, and in few
minutes confessed tina. he and Causby
had had fight, and that he had killed

A SOLID PHALANX,

Never since the dark days of the
rebellion has the Republican party
presented such solid and unbroken
front to the enemy as it does during the
present year. The defeat of November,
1892, taught the members of the or
ganization a practical lesson, and one
that will be needed IN future cam
paigns In the. days of prosperity
Republicans are renowned for follow
ing after strange gods; but adversely
and defeat causes them to return to
their first faith. For the last few
years the ranks of the Greenback, Pro-
hibition and other organization. have
been recruited from disaffected Repub-
llcans, and from this canse Democracy
has won many victories. The avalanche
of 1892 was unexpected, and yet it
was helped onward in its course by
members of the party that was over
whelmed by its power. This will not
happen again, and the vote of 1896
will prove that those who have re-
turned to the ranks are frmer believers
n the principles of protection than
they were before the free-trade test had
been made. The party, in its national
platforms, has advocated no policy
that could not stand the test of ex-
perience, and as it has made the his
tory of the country in the past, it will ]
be accorded the same high privilege in
the future. From the wreck and ruin |
of disintergration and rebellion, under
the lamented Lincoln, 1t saved the
country during the late civil war, and
from almost equal disastrous conse-
quences, suffered by the Inauguration
Of Democratic political falacies, it will
be called upon to save the nation in
1905
