classes of people is more Iar-
moniOus.
There is no State where law
and order are more supreme.
There is no State whcre the re-
lations between capital and la
Dor, the employer and the EN-
ployed, are smoother and more
satisfactory.
There is no State in the Union
where capital is less exacting or
labor more respected or kindly
dealt with.
There is no State i'll the Union
where the honest toiler has a bet
ter showing, where he has more
credit or where there is less dis
position to coin profit out of his
sweat.
There is no State which has
made more progress in the edu-
cation of its children, white and
black.
There is no State, which, i'll
proportion to its wealth, has
made more progress in develop
ing its industries to give work to
its wage-earners, and keep its
young men from migrating to
other States.
There is no State which has
done more for the cause of in
telligent agriculture than it has,
by the establishment of the Ag-
ricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, for the practical education
of the sons of farmers.
There is no State which has
done more than it has to help the
self-depende1t daughters of the
State, than has been done by the
establishment of the Normal
School for girls, at Greensboro.
And yet all this has been done
without imposing any heavy
burdens on the people, and with
a tax rate lower than any other
State in the Union, with the pos
sible exception of the State of
Illinois, which receives a large
revenue from the Illinois Cen
trail railroad.
This is the order ofthings that
these scheming plotters are rail
ing against in their efforts to
overthrow the Democratic State
Government and get the rains
into their own hands.
They havn't the audacity to
deny that the State has been well,
honestly, ably and faithfully gov
erned by the representatives of
the Democratic party to whose
hands the trust was committed,
and yet they show the supreme
stupidity to fight party against
whose State administration they
have no just or seemingly just
complaint.
If there was ground enough to
afford them a half decent excuse,
and they could persuade voters
enough to vote to put them into
power, it wouldn't be six months
before they would convert peace
full and progressive North Caro-
lima into a pandemonium after
the style of Oregon, Montana,
Colorado, coming nearer honey
South Carolina, where that lief
ferson" -Marion-Butler sort of a
Democrat-Gov. Tillman-has
been turning hades loose and
making things hot ever since the
Inflated day that he was boosted
into the Gubernatorial chair,
which he has prostituted to sell
fish, personal and partisan ends
and disgraced.
They do not expect to over
throw the Democratic party III
this State by their own strength
for they know they can't do that,
but their aim is to effect COM
bination with the Republican
leaders by which they hope to
secure majority i'll the Legisla~
ture which would elect two Z. S.
Senators, one populist, the other
Republican. and thus Marian
Butler would secure the prize he
is scheming and working for and
the measure of his ambition
would be filled, while possibly |
some disappointed ex-Democrat-
ic- Populist patriots might secure
for couple years the 5000 sal
airy of a Congressman.
That's the sort of statesmen"
who are leading and trying to
work up a revolt against the|
Democratic party i'll North Caro-;
lima, and other Southern States,
but the people have taken their
measure and they are not doingl
IS much leading as they think
hey are.-Wilmington Star.
