In their appeal to the railway mana
gers the executive officers have fur
nisbed their own condemnation. By
their own words they stand condemned,
as the following excerpts taken from
their proposition show. They began by
saying 1.-The existing troubles growing
out of the Pullman strike having as
sumed continental proportions, and
their being no indication of relief from
the widespread business decentralization
and distress incident thereto, the rail-
way employees through tine Board of Di-
rectors of the A. X. u. respectfully
make the following proposition as the
basis Of settlement"
Whose fault is ii that the widespread
business Generalization and distress has
occurred? The only reply is that it is
due to the senseless action of President
Debs in taking up quarrel which was
none of his, and with which his organ
ization had no connection, thus throw
ing the transportation interests into dis
order, and causing thousands and hun
dreds of thousands to become idle in
consequences. 4ta
The proposition further says: "The
strike, small and comparatively unim-
portant in its inception, has extended in
every direction until it now involves or
threatens not only every public inter-
est, but the peace, security and prosperity
OF our common country. The contest
has waged fiercely. 1t has extended
far beyond the limits of interests
originally involved and has laid
hold of vast number of industries
and enterprises in no wise responsible
for the differences and disagreements
that led to the trouble. Factory. min,
mine and shop have been silenced.
Widespread Generalization has sway.
The interests of multiplied thous ands of
innocent people are suffering. The COM
mon welfare is seriously menaced. The
public peace aud tranquility are periied-
Great apprehension of the future pre-
walls"
This is truthful statement and one
which THE News has repeatedly made
during the existence of the strike to
show the senseless nature of the struggle
the American Railway Union precipi-
tated, and now the men responsible for
these conditions are urging them as
reason why the railroads should treat
with and obey the dictates Of the men
responsible for these outrages. ~
The executive officers of the union go
on to state: "This being true, and the
statement will not be controverted, we
consider it to be our duty as citizens
and as men to make extraordinary efforts
to end the existing strike aud avert
approaching calamities whose shadows
are now even upon u.s."
Ii they are in earnest, let them show
it by calling the strike off and by acting
like men and honest citizens. There has
been no more scathing criticism of the
senseless nature of this strike than is
furnished by the leaders themselves in
their frantic endeavor to secure quarter
and recognition. Their own words con-
denim them and furnish the best argu-
ment why the railway managers should
Indignantly refuse to discuss or treat
with them in any way.

sand dollars daily. His own incompet-
ency and indecision when lawlessness
first took place has cost his city and
county several million dollars. BY his
present actions he is lending encourage
ment to the strikers and is apparently
doing the best he can in his own blum
dering way to prolong the contest. The
sooner he devotes his time to putting
down mob violence and preserving
order, aud leaves the settlement OF the
strike to those concerned, the better it
will be for the taxpayer and the general
public.

STATEMENT FROM MIR. PULLMAN


New York, July H.-George M. Pullman
has given out the following statement for
publication:
There is hardly anything new 20 be said as
TO the position of the Pullman Company. but
Ihave so many indications Of the facility with
which my expressions, and those authorized
by me, have become distorted, aud thus mis-
leading 10 the public, and of an entire forget
ting OF my earnest efforts to prevent the
strike, that perhaps it Is well that should
again make public assurance that the de-
plorable events OF tho last few weeks have
not been caused by the Pullman Company
taking ar obstinate stand In debatable mat
ter, and refusing 20 listen TO reason.
The leaders Of disorder have uot hesitated
20 harass the public by all means In their
power because, as they say, the Pullman
company would not submit TO arbitration,
and, now that disorder seems to he quelled.

him as he deserves. He is an
ally of the Republican party
State and NATIONAL coop
orator in their dark and damna-
BILE designs upon the State
and the nation, as is evidenced by
his conference with Groves OF
the national and Grant of the
State Republican executive com
mittees.
There are only two parties, the
Democratic and the Republican,
and every man should choose this
day which he will serve-the
Populist party is~no more. Mr..
Butler is in league with the Re
publicans, and his hitherto de-
luded followers, who thought
themselves Populists, and who
thought they were right, find
themselves now in an honest
quandary as to where they are
at" To all these, and to such
others as may be at sea, we an.
nounce the fact, that the Demo
cratic party-the party of the

vincible and immortal, is still do
ing business at the old stano

turn to her ranks again and helt
her fight the common enemy.

Japan and COrea.

The King of Corea's declara-
ton of independence is, when all
is said and done, a political card
of nc mean npL :tance. OF
course the King declares him
self independen o: China, and
begs for the aid of Japan in ex-
pelling the G ,inese invaCers, be-
cause he is in the power of the
Mikado. At the same time the
very fact that he is SO completely
under Japanese control is of
prime significance, and consider
ing that the country is practically
occupied by the Japanese, who
hold the mountain passes in force,
the situation becomes rather
more simple tnan the Chinese
dispatches announcing great
victories would indicate. What
it amounts to is just this. that
Japan has moved first, holds the
debatable ground, and will have
to be dislodged to be defeated.
It is unfortunate that the pros
poets of obtaining exact infOr-
nation of the progress of the
war are so small. Of course, the
Japanese reports will prove
much the more reliable. in which
connection it is to be noted that
the Court of Inquiry at Shanghai
has upheld the Japanese version
of the attack on the Kow Shing;
but still we shall be very much
in the dark for some time to come
as to what is actually happening
in the northern part Of the Cor
can peninsula, where the fight
ing must begin, when, if at all,
the pitched battles are delivered.
The outlook for the present,
however, is much more in favor
of Japanese than of Chinese sue
cess, and on the whole it seems
possible to predict that the Chi
nese will be forced to throw away
great numbers of troops before
they can drive the Japanese tt
the South.

DIR. Pope Gives up the Race.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Aug. %
DR.. Sampson Pope, a reform
candidate for Governor, who
bolted the recent reform con
vention, has withdrawn from
the contest. He says that the
great majority of the voters ap-
pear to be under the lash of 1.-The
ring" and it will be impossible
for him to get out a ticket in a
majority of the Counties. He
says 40, 900 reformers and $4,000
conservative are virtually dis
franchised, and 1900 ringsters
dictate who shall hold the of
fees. He advises the 40, 600 re-
formers to refuse to vote for
Governor in the primary and
thus put the seal Of condemna-
ton on ring methods. DR.. Pope
would have received a large vote
had he continued in the race.
There is some talk to-day of get
ting out a candidate against John
Gary Evans. the alleged nomi-
nee, but as Dr. Pope's with
drawal was only announced this
afternoon, nothing has been done.
The election will take place next
Tuesday, and it would be hare

Good Times.

From every part of the country
come assurances of restored busi-'
ness confidence and the expect
ancy Of speedy return of indus
trial and commercial prosperity.
A hopeful tone pervades all
the currents of commerce.
The stagnation of business and
the withdrawal of money from
circulation were the natural and
inevitable results of uncertainty
as to legislation on the tariff and
the currency. The causes of the
bad conditions through which
we have passed have been re-
moved and the effects will speed
lily disappear.
The masses of the people have
practiced unusual economy dur
ing the hard times, and many Of
them have learned lessons that
will be valuable to them in the
future The farmers of the South
have raised more of their own
supplies than they ever did be-
fore and are, perhaps, to-day in
q better condition that they have
known since the war.
Mechanics and clerks who have
been thrown out of employ
ment because of reduced
production and contracted busi-
ness. will now find opportunities
| for work. The stocks of mer-
chandise and manufacturers have
been allowed to run low because
of the general business depres-
sion. There will now be gene
raj demand for more goods. Idle
industries will be set going ard
merchants will fill their empty
shelves. The money crops will
soon begin to move. The out
look for a brisk fall trade is fine.
Very soon the country will adjust
itself to the new tariff schedule
and will put forth all it's tre-
mendous productive energies.
The voice of the croaker will
be drowned amidst the hum Oh
prosperous business. The tariff
has been settled probably for
years to come and the country is
assured that there will be nc
reckless currency legislation.
i We are to have sound money,
and values will stand on a firm
basis. Whatever solution of the
Tree silver question may be
reached it will be such a solution
as will guarantee and maintain
the parity of our standards ol
, value. Hoarded money which
was frightened to hiding places
by threats Of inconsiderate fnan
cial legislation, reviving old en-
terprises that have dropped ane
giving life to new ones.
, The signs of the times ar,
cheering and the gloomy expires
sions of the few who refuse tt
cone out in the sunlight Cal
neither dash the general hope
5 fulness or shake the confidenc,
+ which pervades the country.
/ We are surely on the eve Of al
era Of prosperity and the Soutl
, will probably enjoy a large
r share of it than any other par
of the Union.

The Populist in Politics.

The average Populist is moth
lug if not amusing and when he
attempts t, assume the duties of
a campaign e becomes simp'y y
and absurdly ridiculous. Two
instances of this assiniuity have
recently come to our notice.
The Chairman of the Populist
Executive Committee in | eaufort
county has called a convention to
meet in Washington, N. c., on
September 4th, for the purpose
of nominating a State and county
ticket. From this it would natu-
rally be inferred thaJ the Popu-
lists in that vicinity are dissatis-
fed with the present Populist
State ticket and propose to put
another in the field.
This will give them two
State tickets and the question fo1
the ardent members o: that party
to decide will be whether they
will support the Beaufort county
State ticket or the one recently
nominated in Raleigh.
Another very amusing instance
of Populistic simplicity occurs in
a circular letter just issued, Civ
ing notice of a joint debate be
tween Hon. G.. M. Cooke ano
Capt. Buck Kitchin at Smith
field on August 28th. The letter
refers to Capt. Cooke as the
next Congressman from this
district and is signed by Mr.
Creech, chairman .of the Popu
list Executive Committee.
| Though this is prophecy
which will be proved to be true
in November, by a handsome ma
ljority, yet it IS just a little anus
ing to see a Populist, who usual,
|claims the whole earth, admitting
it thus early in the campaign
