long baffied disease, it was at last
shattered. The last hours Of DR..
Holmes were passed quietly with his
family by his bedside. DR.. Holmes re-
turned from Beverly Farms about ten

All Saints, Brooklyn, and of st.
James's, Cincinnati, has decided to re-

The cause Of this act, it is said, is
dislike of the rItualism of the Episco-

Marquette, Mich, Oct. s. - The an
nual slaughter of deer in the upper
peninsula has begun. Over 25O car
casses were shipped from this county
for Chicago, Detroit and other cities.
This killing of scarce animals is in
direct violation of the game laws OF
the State, because they are chased
with dogs and lanterns and slaughter
ed without purpose. Woods are thick
with hunters at night, who shoot with
utter recklessness. Half a dozen set
tiers have been wounded by stray
shots. An effort will be made to bar
these hunters out of the State.

IS T~oLRRABLY RELIABLE.

Our cratic, but versatile contempt
rary, the Congressional Record, has
the best paid list of reporters of any
paper in the country. The chief stem
ographer gets $25, 900 a year and ten
assistant writer's and stenographers
get altogether $25, 900 more, making
$50, 900. But there ia one consolation,
the Record doesn't print lying personals
nor say ''there was a big crowd in
town Saturday" And when two Sena-
tors or Congressman make speeches on
pending questions itnever says. "Sena-
tor Madeline wiped up the earth with
Senator Pollard" The Record some
times suppresses mighty interesting
but scandalous news. However, as q
rule, it gives fair and remarkably cor
rect reports of the daily proceedings of
each house. At this time the Record
is not issued. But it will timber up
for business again about the first Of
next December, when Congress meets,
that is if the sugar trust will allow that
body to meet again.

THAT MILLION DOLLAR LEGIS-
LATURE.

The last legislature was termed the
million dollar legislature" and it
came near filling the bill. During the
session more money was appropriated
for various purposes than by any legiS-
lature that ever assembled in the State.
Near the close Of the session, Senator
Jones, of Forsyth county, a Demo
cratic member, while speaking In op-
position to an appropriation of $4,000
for establishing a quarantine station at
Southport, which, byk5the way. was
passed, said: This legislature will be
called the million dollar legislature"
Continuing he said: Every increase
of salary and every appropriation
asked for has been granted. Not n
appropriation bill has failed in the
Senate" He attributed this to the
most systematic lobbying ever wit
messed on the floors of the General
Assembly Of North Carolina since the
days of reconstruction, when the peo-
pies money went like water. He said:
Every one of these appropriations
will meet US at the ballot box two years
hence"
The total appropriations made
amounted to $3.50, $50, 90. This sum
includes all that went to the peniten
tiary, asylums for insane, for deaf,
dumb and blind, State schools, and all
other expenses. We don't know just
what the expenses of the last legisla-
ture were, but the session of 1891 cost
500, OILS, 10. The session of 1898 e
tainEy cost as much, probably more.
Add that to the appropriations and we
have a grand total of $913, O68 10. So
it was but little short Of "a million
dollar legislature"

SENATOR JONES.

In this issue we publish Senator
Jones' letter giving his reasons for
leaving the Republican party. His
letter is able patriotic and convincing.
If his statements are correct, and we
know that everything he says.is gener-
ally known to be true, only the misin-
formed or blind partisan, will, after
reading his letter, continue to travel
the winding and devious ways of pluto
cratic politics in preference to the
straight, broad and smooth road that
leads to industrial and financial indie
nendanca

FACTS TALK.

On last Friday six hundred bales OF
new cotton were sold on the Raleigh
market. This cotton is as good as ever
grew in the United States and brought
from 81 to St. Two years ago at this
time cotton was selling at from II to
81. Later in the fall it brought 10 cents.
Two years of rule by the ''unterri6ed'
has brought US to this. The next two
years promise nothing better, probably
worse. The farmer or business man who
votes for a continuation of this state of
affairs, after getting so many eye open
ers, not only acts very unwisely, but
sins against his family and his country.
He would rather be wrong than be
right. No man can make a logical de
tense of such a course.

NEW POLITICAL ETIQUETTE.

From reports of Democratic meet
ings we learn that the old time enthusi,
asm is not allowed. When Jarvisspoke
at Goldsboro it is said that there was
hardly any applause. The crowd sat
around like people at a funeral. We
notice that this is the rule. The speak
ers no longer bring tidings of great joy.
They have very little to say about what
I'VE will do when we get in" The
masses do not turn out to hear John
Wanamaker's advertisement read and
magniied. They know that the party
of promises" has destroyed one half of
the money, increased public expendi-
lures and done everything it promised
not to do. You can't fool all the people
all the time.

MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATIC
CLUBS.

The great Democratic rally in this
city, so extensively advertised, and for
which extensive preparations had been
made, vas a complete failure. Some
of the Raleigh papers announced that
20, 600 people would be here. Less than
three hundred, nearly all politicians
and Office holders, came. The oily
tongued Ransom and the other Senator,
1.-The visiting Statesman" were here.
The imported speakers, Mansur, Black
and Gardiner, also came, but the pub.
lie was c~onspicuously absent. A few
Democratic clubs we're represented.
Enthusiasm didn't enthuse.
The meeting was held in the Acad.
envy of Music. The Ransom element
got the drop on Jarvis by putting up
Ransom first. He talked tariff for
nearly three hours, quoting from Wan.
namaker's advertisement extensively.
He tried to convince everybody that
the new tariff bill is a great thing.
One assertion was that the bill will
save the cotton farmers of the South
g, 600, 900 on cotton ties alone this year.
Cotton ties are selling at IS cents
per bundle. With six hoops to the
ba'e-many put on but ive-the ties
for an eight million bale crop would
cost but II cents a bale, or 81, $50, 900.
If Ransom is correct the manufac:
turers of cotton ties not only will give
the ginners the ties but will give them
or the farmers $640, 900 annually. Sc
much for tariff rot.
At night, the imported speakers,
Mansur, Black and Gardiner were in
troduced and held the audience spell
bound" with pure buncom5e. After
they were through Jarvis got the floor
and GRATED.

RECORD BREAKING.

This year has been a record breaker
in horse racing. prize fighting and
bicycle racing. For nearly two years
Nancy Hanks has held tho trotting
record at 2:O4. Several trotters have
made their miles in 2:O6 and above.
but even tho clipper herself has not
been able to wipe out that famous

mile in 2:O4 OF Galcs5urg, I'll. On
Wednesday the record went q Quarter

watches make it possible to count frac

Democratic. Here is a sample extract
from her editorial venom.
'.Ins short, the little Third party
.oratoris g white negro, belonging body
and soul to the big bosses. He does
not dare to think for himself. He has
long ago relegated this privilege to the
great I am Of his party. BE u ready

party that has given the white people
of the South whatever blessings OF leg

pity the cringing, orator evolution OF
the Third party. He needs the com
misseration Of honesty"
Now compare the following broad
gauge extract from an editorial in the
Carroll County PopUlist, edited by
Mrs. L 7. Russell:
''The serious and pressing duty Of
every man In this country, who regards
himself as a man of honor and patriot
ism is to examine into the condition of
this country, and to find out to what
extent he is responsible for that con-
dition and In what manner he can most
efectually use his personal influence to
remedy that condition. In order to do
this he will have to lay aside party
prejudice. OF course If a man refuses
to believe that there is anything wrong
in any policy pursued by his party, and
that any course Of legislation must be
defended by him when it is adopted by
his party, then he is not In a condition
to cast an intelligent ballot, and Is
rather a disadvantage to his country
than otherwise"
What a contrastl Miss Dortch en-
ploys Democratic(O methods to for
ward the work of the political party

Russell writes sensibly and says it is
the duty of every man to go into poll
tics and find out what is the matter
and vote accordingly. She abuses no

purpose. Now, after reading theabove,

PRETTY coon DOCTRINE.

-
The Kinston Free Press writing ON
the political outlook, says:
LET US take courage and press on.
trusting in the glorious principles Of
Democracy, and in the gIver OF all
good: and though the way may seem
dark and dreary for a time, all will be
we'll"
That is not so bad. If a party will
get loaded up with pure Democracy"
and then put its trust in the "Giver OF
all good" there is some hope for it.
This shows that at least one Democrat
is badly frightened and viii not depend
on goldbuggery and ballot box jugglery
to carry him through. Strange that
some Democrat has never thought
about injecting a little Democracy into
the party before.
While all this is commendable and
we are trying in our humble way to
encourage our friend of the Free Press,
still there is something in it all that
forebodes evil. We hope, however,
that it is a mistake; that Bro. Herbert
is not in bad health and that he will
yet live many years to shed abroad the
light of pure religion and politics. We
are glad he has learned that modern
Democracy is not the genuine article
and that there is a higher power than
Ransom and his kind.

THAT BILLION DOLLAR CON.
GRESS

We publish a valuable table in thi
issue, compiled by exc Congressman
Thos. E Watson, showing the differ
ence between the Republican and Dem
ocratic Congresses, the Fifty-irst RE
publican) and the Fifty second Demo
cratic.) Candidates for Congress and
other campaign speakers can get some
good data from this table, and every
voter in the land ought to learn it by
heart.
The Fifty first Congress was dubbed
The Republican Billion Dollar Con,
gress," by the Democrats. As a matter
of fact it was the most extravagant
Congress ever known. But it only
spent $685., All. 183 "a, lacking more
than eleven million dollars of reaching
a billion. The F~ifty-second Congress,
however, was really a billion dollar
Congress, as it appropriated 81 .O27,-
104, 544 80. The two sessions Of a
Democratic Congress appropriated
$38, 687, 1854 So more than the two Re-
publican sessions. The $175, 900 extra
session mileage is included in the
thirty.eight extra millions. Do you

TWO FEMININE Newspapers

Georgia has two newspapers owned
and edited by ladies, One runs a Peo,
ple's party paper and the other a Dem

both sides we'll know the difference be-

rial and the broad minded writings of
the average reform editor. The same
wicked blood runs in the veins of the
female editor that is found in the Dam,
ocratic male biped. Miss Ellen Dorch
