and not a government by the caprice
of individuals; and, further, that in
stead of being ~autocratic it was a gov
eminent of limited power. Yet the
~autocrat of Russia could certainly not
possess greater power than is possessed
by the Executive of the United States
if your assumption is correct,
5. The Executive has the command
not only of the regular forces of the
United States but of the military forces
of all the States, and can order them
to any place he sees fit to, and as there
are always more or less local disturb
ances over the country it will be an
easy matter under your construction
of the law for an ambitious executive
to order out the military forces of all
the states and establish at ono a mill
tary government. The only chance
of failure in such a movement could
come from rebellion, and with a vast
military power at command this could
readily be crushed, for, as a rule,
soldiers will obey orders. AS for the
situation in Illinois, that is of no con
sequence now when compared with
the far-reaching principle involved.
True, according to my advices, Federal
troops have now been on duty for over
two days, and, although the men were
brave and the officers valiant and able,
yet their very presence proved to be
an irritant because it aroused the
indignation of a large class of people
who. while upholding the law and
order, have been taught to believe in
local, self government and therefore
resented what they regarded as an I'm
warranted interference.
Inasmuch as the Federal troops can
do nothing but what the State troops
can do there, and believing that the
State is amply able to take a. of the
situation and to enforce the law, and
believing that the ordering out of the
Federal troops was unwarranted, 1
again ask their withdrawal.

GOOD ROADS CONFERENCE AT
CHAPEL HILL THIS WEEK.

Cor. Of the Progressive Farmer,
1t is a striking fact that at the Ma
tional Good Roads Conference held in
New Jersey recently, there were dele
gates present from forty different
States, showing how widespread is the
realization on the part of the American
people that better public roads are a
necessity.
We are glad that some of these con-
ferences are to be held nearer home.
The State University invites all persons
interested in public road improvement
and especially the county commission
ers, magistrates and road ~Overseers in
the counties contiguous to O. ange to
meet at Chapel Hill during Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week for the
purpose of discussing all questions re-
lating to the Improvement of public
roads in middle North Carolina. There
will be several addresses by persons
connected with modern roadbuiIding,
followed by general discussions of
these subjects among the delegates
during both Tuesday morning and
Wednesday morning, and during b0th
afternoons there will be an exhibition
of road machinery in operation and of
the methods Of laying out new roads
and changing the location of old roads
so as to avoid the steep grades and
other bad places.
Among the questions to be discussed
will be the following:
1. How can we improve our dirt
roads to the best advantage at the least
cost?
2. To what extent can we macadam.
ize our roads in middle North CarolinaY
3. The uee of road machinery as
compared with the old method in i'm
proving dirt roads.
4, Shall We use convict labor, hired
labor, or volunteer labor, as h~eretoforeY
5 How to drain wet places on our
clay roads.
6 How to raise money for road i'm
prOvement.
z. TO what extent does it pay to build
costly roads; and other practical ques-
tions Of similar character.
The meetings will be held in one of
the University lecture rooms, and will
begin at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing.
These counties should respond liber-
ally to this invitation. Our roads have
already been improved in places, but
they can be made vastly better. We
have no great amount of none with
which to carry on this important
work. What these middle North Caro-
lima counties want to know is how we
can spend to the best possible advan-
tage the little money which we can
raise for this purpose. There are diff
f~erences of opinion, among magis-
trates as to many points connected
with working and improving the pub
lie roads, such as to raising non by
taxation and other matters, but no one
can claim to be all wise i'm these mat
tiers, and it is the duty which they owe
to the people of the county and to
themselves that when an opportunity

CAME BACK A POPULIST.
DR.. John Morris Converted While on a
Western Trip--His Views Of
the Political Outlook.


the Political Outlook.
The following from the Baltimore
Sun 4 +oShot Democratic paper, tells
it's .oNS4Story:
DR.. John Morris, who al one of the
Maryland delegates to the convention
of the American Medical Association
at San Francisco and who was an old
time dyed-in-t the wool Democrat, has
returned to Baltimore a confirmed Pop
ulist.
The doctor says his conversion vas
brought about after conversing with
all kinds and conditions of people in
parts of the West. He talked with the
boys who blacked his boots, the BARRIERS
who shaved him, the hotel porters,
business men and professional men,
great and small and they all with a
startling unanimity, he says, con
demned the Democratic party and
blamed it for the industrial depression
which pervades the entire country
west of the Rocky Mountains.
The silver legislation, which they
claim was directed by Wall street, is,
they think, the principal cause of the
depression. The West wants money
in unlimited quantities. and their only
hope, they informed the doctor, was in
the unlimited coinage of silver. Now
that a Democratic Congress has de
clared against silver their mines have
shut down and the depression has ex-
tended into all branches of business.
THE result has been" said DR.. Morris,
that nearly all Democrats have united
with the Populists, and l predict that
not a single Democrat will be elected
to Congress next fall west of the Rocky
Mountains unless the Democrats will
unite with the Populists and divide the
candidates"
Speaking Of the industrial condition
Of the far West DIR. Morris said that
their condition could not be worse.
Complaint of hard times was heard
in every city I visited, and the people
have no hope of an early improvement
in their condition. At Spokane Falls,
Wash, where 1 remained three days,
business was practically dead and the
population was rapidly moving away.
In the past year ten thousand people
have left that city and now nearly
every other store and saloon is vacant.
The driver of one of the hotel busse
said that affairs have grown so bad
that people will not ride in free buses,
and doubted if they would even drink
free whiskey. The barber who shaved
me said that the money 1 paid him was
the first money he had earned for two
day 8. The same conditions prevail at
Seattle, Denver and other one time
prosperous cities"
