The Minnesota Democrats.

The address OF Minnesota
Democrats, in which they de
nounce those Democratic senator's
who are standing in the way OF
tariff legislation, will receive the
hearty approval of the Demo
cratic masses throughout the
country. The address may name
two or three senators VINO are
not guilty as charged but there
are undoubtedly a number OF
men in the senate who deserve
the Indictment that "they wear
the mask of Democrats that they
NAV the better betray our
cause.
David B. Hill has brought down
upon himself the contempt OF
the country by his recent speech
but there are other Democrats
i'm the senate who have THEN
knives whetted for the Wilson
bill and we fear that they will use
thom with deadly effect.
The eyes of the Democracy are
on these men and if they carry
out their miserable scheme they
will receive the blistering con
demnation of the party they pro
feSS to serve.
1t would. however, be a poor
compensation for the defeat OF
the tariff bill to see these mer
made odious. They are IN a posi-
ton to infict a terrible blow OF
the party. Every loyal Demo
crat in senate should be at his
post constantly and should labor
might and main to prevent the
mischief that is being plotted
against the Wilson bill.

A. p. A. Rancor.

Some of the bigoted preachers
in New York have begun to pro
claim the principles OF the Amer
lean Protective Association from
their pulpits
One of the class proved his
liberal Christian spirit last Sun
day by declaring that man
cannot be a good Catholic and a
loyal citizen.
This is a libel on thousands of
as true and loyal citizens as can
be found within the limits of our
country. A mans religious faith
has nothing to do with his quail
hcatlons as a citizen, in the verv
foundation of our government
lies the guaranty of absolute re-
hglous freedom. The very first
amendment to the constitution
OF the United States in it's first
clause declares that CONGRESS-
shsll make no law respecting an
establishment of religion, or pro
hloltlng the free exercise thereof.
In the third section of the fifth
, article OF the constitution it is
stipulated that no religious test
shall ever be required as quail
! 1lcatlon to any office or public
trust under the United States.
! The spirit of our free institu-
tions is thus clearly set forth
and any organization, which is
formed for the purpose of making
religious belief a test of good citi-
zen IS atwar with the principles of
our government. There are in all
our churches good men and bad.
We suppose the average of vir-
ture and excellence in each is
about the same, and we believe
that the government has as little
to tear from one as from another.
Commenting on the foolish ut
i terance of the New York bigot
which we have quoted, the Phil
adelphia Record says:
But when have the Irish
Catholics of this country Tor the
German Catholics either) ever
betrayed the sligest want of fl
'dellty to this government? When
have any of them afforded aid
and comfort to it's enemies? One
of the acknowledged purposes of
the A. P. A. is to oppose the
election of any Catholic to Office
IN the United States. This is
nothing more nor less than a re-
vival of the Know Nothingism of
bad memory. But who ever hears
of a Catholic voting for or against
a candidate for Office because of
his religious creed or want Of
creed? In this respect the Irish
Catholics set an example of liber-
, ality and freedom from sectarian
favoritism and bias which some
members of other denominations
would do well to initiate"
We do not believe that the mas
ses of the Protestant people in
this country have any sympathy
with the narrow and proscrip-
tive spirit of the A. P. A. It is
repugnant to every instinct of
true Americanism. .-1tlo7oto Jour

The Machine"

We had not purposed expos
ing the Salisbury Herald to the
execration of those Democratic
newspapers among us which are
casting odium upon 1.-The ma
chine and all it's defenders; and
in Sundays paper, we upbraided
the journal which had called for
the organization of the Demo
cratic party, without indicating
it by name. The Herald is less
considerate of itself than we
were Of it, for it comes promptly
to the scratch and acknowledges
that it was the guilty offender
against the higher ideal which
has been-set up in our midst.
Not only so, but it repeats itself
with emphasis, saying, among
other things
We repeat that Democrats were
organizing for the fight against
the enemy. The kind of organi-
zation outlined in the Observer is
the kind of organization that the
Herald wants to see put in effect
as soon as possible, and it wants
to have it so perfect that it will
embrace every school dis trict in
North Carolina. This is abso-
lutely necessary if North Caro-
lima is to be kept in the Demo
cratic column. We can no more
hope to win without an organiza-
ton to direct and concentrate
our forces than an army of un-
disciplined and raw recruits
without officers to lead and direct
it's movements could hope to win
victory against well-disciplined
veterans skilled and experienced
officers. The Herald wants a
machine" of the kind indicated,
and it is willing to share it's part
Of the responsibility in having it
established.
We again warn the Salisbury
Herald and everybody else that
whoever raises a voice in behalf
of the organization of the Demo
cratic party renders himself OBJ
noxious to the charge of being a
machine politician. If you
have an organization you have a
machine; there is no doubt about
that; the terms are interchange
able; they mean the same thing.

WASHINGTON NEWS.

WASHINGTON, April 13-It re-
quired a session of nearly four
hours to-day before the caucus of
the House Democrats reached a
conclusion looking to a change
in the rules which will secure the
presence Of a quorum.
Two resolutions were adopted.
The first was offered by Mr.
Bland, of Missouri. It provides
for enforcing the law passed in
1856, which forfeits members S
pay for every day he may be alb
sent without leave in cases OF
sickness.
The second resolution was Of
fered by Mr. DeArmond. of Mis-
souri,. This read as follows:
Res0Ered. AS the sense of this
caucus, that the Committee on
Rules should report to the House
a rule or an amendment to the
rules by means of which mem
bers present and not voting may
be taken into account in deter
ming the existence or nOn-eXis-
tence Of a quorum and to compel
the attendance Of absent mem
berS.
The resolution. in other words.
is an instruction to the DemOc-
ratio members of the Committee
on Rules to report rule provid-
ing for the counting of aquorum. a
1t was adopted by a vote of SO to
fl.
In addition to the foregoing re
solution, Mr.. Springer offered a
resolution which provided that
on the second roll-call members
who do not vote shall have the
| pending business stated to them
and if they still decline to vote
shall be counted to make a quo
rum. The principal debate o
the afternoon centered about this
resolution.
Later in the day Mr.. McCreary
of Kentucky, offered a resolution
relegating the entire matter tC
the Committee on Rules. The vote
on this resolution was taken by
tellers and resulted in a tie
to 64-whereupon Mr.. Holman
chairman of the caucus, cast tht
deciding vote in favor Of the re
solution A yea and nay vote wa:
then taken and the resolution wa
defeated to IS. A motion wa
made on the part Of some mem
bers who opposed any change il
the rules, to adjourn, but this was
voted down by large majority
Prior to the vote on the Dear
mond resolution. Mr.. Syringe.

WHAT IS A SONNET?

What is sonnet? 'Tis flash of light,
That on sadden strikes across the sea,
Full from the clouds that all day
Knocked at thee;
Anon star upon the brow of night,
A single star enkinded on heaven 5

Flaming it's warning from eternity:
Perez ance some staely, heav 'dward

An eagle, circling slowly up from sight

Or on a new-raised mound soft falling

One child not we'll, one dropping garden

Both ne 'er so loved as when about u

STEADY IMPROVEMENT
In Business Interest in the South.

III D'11Ad~ 80 AA1 ~ III tii~ AoOti'ii'
BALTIMORE, April 12.-The
W0nottdctu1ers' Record, in it's
weekly review Of business condi-
tions in the South says:
The two things that are now
attracting notice in Southern
business affairs are the great at
tention that is being given to at
tracing settlers to the South,
already resulting in bringing to
this section many North
ern and Western farmers and
in the sale of extensive tracts Of
agricultural lands, and the ten
dency of Western trade to seek a
foreign outlet through Southern
ports. On the latter subject the
entire West seems to be aroused.
Many Of the new railroad com
missions and projected lines that
are now before the country seems
to be based on the idea that there
will be a heavy increase in the
shipments of western products
through Southern ports instead
of through North Atlantic ports
as formerly. The effect of this
is alre eady seen in the increase in
the total value of foreign exports
from 1902, 100000 for the eight
months ending February L, 1898,
to 1890, 100000 for the eight
months ending with February,
1894, the gain being S27. 300, 600,
the total increase for the entire
country having been S52, 600, 900,
more than oneshalf of the whole
gain having been from the
South.
The steady Improvement in the
business interest of the South is
shown in the total bank. clearings
of the first three months of 1894
as compared with the same period
of 1898. The decrease was for
seventy -one cities of the country,
nearly .33 per cent, but sixteen
Southern cities, including Balti-
more, show a decrease of only IL
per cent. Out of seventy cities

SILVER AND THE PLATFORM.
A Letter From one Who Has
Changed His Mind.

To the Editor of the Atlanta Journal
The public discussion among
rr people at this time and the
dissatisfaction SO generally ex-
pressed at President Cleveland's S
vetoing the Bland seigniorage
bill. has suggested this article.
On account of President Cleve-
lands pronounced anti-silver
position, [ was very much op-
posed to his nomination in 1892.
At that time and up to his recent
veto message [ was a very ardent
advocate for free coinage of sill
yer. AS proof of this I drew the
Democratic platform Of our coun-
ty in 1892, containing the free
silver plank. Until since the veto
[ also construed the Chicago
platform to demand the free
coinage Of silver. But I see
plainly now it is only on condi-
ton of it's being kept on a parity
or of eqEal intrinsic value with
gold,
The platform says on the sub
ject: I'VE hold to the use of
both gold and silver as the stan.
dard money of this country. and
to the coinage of gold and silver
without discrimination against
either metal or charge for mint
age, but the dollar unit of coin
age of both metals must be of
equal intrinsic and exchangeable
value, or be adjusted through in
ternal agreement, or by such
safeguards Of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the
parity of the two metals and the
equal power of every dollar at all
times.'' etc. The next sentence
says: I'VE insist upon this policy
as especially necessary for the
protection of the farmers and
| laboring classes, the first and
most defenseless victims of un-
stable money, and a fuctuatine
currency"
Now from the platform we see
there are three plain conditions
or prerequisites, one of which
must exist before any further
coinage of silver is demanded.
First. Gold and silver must be
of equal intrinsic and exchange.
able value.
Or second. The value of gold
and silver coin must be adjusted
| through international agree
| ment
Or third The parity of the
two metals must be sustained by
such legislation as may be neces
sary. Evidently this is the true
intention of the platform as tc
silver, after the demand for the
repeal of the Sherman law hac
been complied with.
1t is being somewhat generally
charged by the people that Pres
ident Cleveland has violated the
currency plank of the Democratic
platform by vetoing the Blanc
seigniorage bill. We will analyze
the plmartfo and seeif he has
violated Or sustained it.
The platform demanded frs
the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman law. That
has been accomplished. It de
mands next that if the intrinsic
and exchangeable value of gol6
and silver are equal-or if the
{, value of the two shall have beer

The Herald seems to know and
understand this, and yet it reck
1essly reiterates it's behalf in
party organization, saying, in so
many words, that we cannot win
without it.
We would not, really, be sur
prised to learn that there is a
considerable sentiment of this
kind abroad in the State. We no
tice, for instance, that w. D..
Alexander, Esq, an excellent
Democrat and citizen of this
county, said in the court house
here last Saturday, upon taking
his seat as the newlyelected
chairman of the Democratic
County Executive committee,
''it is more important for
the Democratic party to orga
nized this year than ever
before. +" Entertaining such views
as these. Mr.. Alexander is no
more nor no less than a machine
Democrat, and yet he is account
ed by everybody who knows him
as a good and worthy man. OF
course such sentiments as these,
and those Of the Salisbury Her
aid, find a ready response in the
heart of the Charlotte Observer,
but this surprises nobody, be-
cause everybody knows that it
has no better sense than to sup
pose that political parties are
formed to win victories, and that
unless they organize for that pur-
pose they have no more chance
than a feline in hades without
claws.
In all gravity, how absurd it
is in some Democrats to seek to
make capital by heaping obloquy
on 1.-The machine"
We call upon men, at the be-
ginning of a campaign, to organ
ize US. to get us together, to
| handle US in such manner as to
make US most effective. and after
the victory is won and they do
something displeasing to us; we
turn upon them with the cry that
they belong to ''the machine
when in fact we all do, the only
difference being that they are the
eneineers while we are the sto-
kers. We have been reading much
of late about ''SimmonS, Ransom
and the machine'-much abuse
of the bridge that carried us over,
two years ago. The last words

we. We doff our hat and swear

His Legs are Paralyzed.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-
Gradually the really serious con-
dition of Senator Vance's health
is becoming known. He is para
lyzed in his legs, in addition to
the liver enlargement already
mentioned.
No North Carolians spoke in
the caucus, which lasted nearly
the whole afternoon and was a
spirited affair. The North Caro-
lima Representatives, except
Messrs. Crawford and Grady,
voted for the victorious PROPOSE
ton to instruct the rules com
mittee to report in favor OF
counting a quorum. This is the
wisest thing the Democratic
party in Congress has done since
the tariff and seigniorage bills
passed the House, and only needs
a supplementary rule directing
the Speaker to refuse to ask un.
animous consent for leaves Oh

four per cent. Of the members
