THE COLORED VOTERS

We have an impression that the COL
Ored voters as class are more faithful
to the Republican party than the
whites are. There is respectable
Class as to numbers, many of them
intelligent, who know the absolute
evils of the protection robber principle,
who do not feel like abandoning the
party they have trained with, and
whose leaders they have followed with
unfalterlng fidelity, to affiliate with a
new faction that has such leaders as
Marion Butler, the Boanerges and Big
Boss of the party, and Ohio Wilson,
as genuine conspirator and dynamlter
in principle as could be found in New
York to-day. What have they to gain
by allylng themselves with a faction
made of greedy selt-seekers, and rank
ard file, many of whom are honest
and patriotic, but are blind and
deceived?
The Colored voters may turn out in
full strength to support the Populists
who really do not hold a solitary
principle in common with the Repub-
llcan party, but we are not disposed to
believe it. We think it probable that
in the State many thousands of the
genuine and more intelligent Repub-
llcans among them, will refuse to be a
party to such a disgraceful trade and
sell out. Butler calls his paper the
Caucasian which means really the
White Mans paper. Gen. Weaver,
chief among the Populist, says this:
Any man who states that the Demo-
cratic party is responsible for the panic
IS either a knave or a fool, or BOTH

WANTS TO TEAR THEM DOWN,

Mr.. Starbuck, the fusion candidate
for the Senate, is opposed to further
appropriations for the Agricultural and
Mechanical College in Raleigh fer the
whites and the one in Guilford for the
colored youths.
That's what fusion success means
tearing down the schools erected TO
teach the boys how to plan, to build
10 analyze fertilizers, and to improve
the farms.
Those who want to close these
institutions, erected by Democratic
legislation, and largely supported by
an appropriation from the Federal
government, are invited to Join the
fusion movement. The Democrats. in
response to demand by the farmers
and mechanics, established these
schools, and if continued in power will
enact such legislation as will make
them better every year.-Mews and

Fine Address by Mr.. CouIter-Mr.
T. T. Hicks Next Sunday-SpeciaI
Husic.
The meeting last Sunday afternoon
was largely attended, Mr.. Coulter
delivering an address of power. His
subject was taken from Heb. 2:3,
How shall we escape. if we neglect
so great salvation - This question
has never been answered. said the
| speaker Escape from what: lst.
From the power and pollution of sin.
| How terrible are the ravages of sin
With what power it holds its victims
Look about you, and see the strength
of this dire disease" in its grip upon
the poor drunkard. or the protane, or
impure 2nd. How shall we escape
an awful doom in eternity: Mr.. Coulter
now waxed eloquent in his description
of the sinners hell. There was no
songs. no Christian mothers, no re-
| iocing, no love, no peace there He
then spoke Of the goodness Of the
salvation, the neglect Of which made
| the sinners doom more terrible. ., it
is an awful thing to = trample under
foot the Son of God, and count the
blood of the Covenant an unholy thing,
and to do despite to the spirit Of grace
How can you find rest and comfort in
the thought: God is seeking you i'll
every religious service, in every pass
ing breeze, in providences, in goodness,
in giving YOU health and friends, and
money, and you use these ungratetully,
and refuse to love, and obey the glver
of all these good things. How shall
you escape:
The address was closed with an
earnest appeal. Those who were
fortunate enough to hear Mr.. Coulter,
expressed the opinion that he quite
eXcelled himself.
The solos of Miss Mary Lou Thomas
were especially appropriate and sung
with her usual sweetness and clearness
of expression and pronunciation, every
word being distinctly heard. Miss
Pinkston presided with her usual grace,
at the organ.

dress especially prepared, next Sunday,

IN the three years that the Repub-

lima, says an exchange, they collected
S4o6,435.o2 for education. OF this
amount only S3S,9SI.S6 was expended
for public schools and in three years
the balance was squandered. The
Democrats in the last three years have
collected and expended for public

WHEN we view the record OF the Re
publican party for the last thirty
years, and consider the extremes, the
follies and the plunderings of the
Populist when in control, the solemn
duty of the good Democratic people
of the State to defeat the unhOly
alliance they have formed to get into
office, is imperative. To defeat them
and save the State from their dreadful
rule is a sacred duty that every honest
man owes to his children, his State
and his race. 1t must be done. The
duty is like that OF man defending
his home against the invasion of a
band of robbers, for they would sap
your substance by taxation and thiev-
cries This is the record they have
made and it can not be denied

instead of sitting down. After being
in the house a short time Hanson turned
to where his gun hung against the wall,
took it down and deliberately fred at
his brother, the ball striking him in the
abdomen about two inches to the right
of the navel, passed through his liver,
struck the seventh rib and lodged be-
meath the skin of his back. After

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., February 10
A movement is on foot here, which, il
conSummated, will greatly strengthen
the striking potters in the stand which
they have taken against what they
deem the unjust demands of the en-
Dloyers. The POtters' Advisory Board
have had correspondence with Samuel
GOmpers, President Of the American
Federation Of Labor, looking to an al
lance of the POtters' Brotherhood with
the American Federation of Labor, and
to-day that official has written the
Strikers Advisory Board here that he
will come ia a few days and take steps
toward the cOnsummatiOn desired. The
operatives continue firm 10 their resist
ance of the demands of the manufac-
turers.
A statement is made here to-day on
the authority Of a manufacturing potter
20 the effect that the manufacturers
association will make no move toward
starting the works, and will entertain
no proposition from the men looking to
a resumption OF work for at least sixty
days, or until the Wilson bill is disposed
Of by Congress. After that they will
start with union labor if the men come
TO terms; IL not, non-union. In any
event the spring trade is practically lost
and when the works resume they are
not likely to run up TO their capacity.
