THE SHOCKING BEAUFORT C0UN-
TY TRAGEDY.

TIE Bonner murder in Beaufort
county is one of the most revolving in
the annals of the State. If there rs
truth in the. confession of the man
Creole. it shows the existence of a con-
spiracy the like of which has never be-
fore been known to exist in North Car
DINA. That young men of respectable
families should form a conspiracy to
rob and kill; should have chosen lead
err whose bloody commands they were
forced to obey; should actually rob
and kill the leading citizen in law
abiding community; and that the wife
of one of the number should have TAX
en- the oath and helped to hide the EVIL
dences of crime and get an equal share
of the booty-all this reads like ro-
nance of a dime novelist or a chapter
from a history of the Dark Ages But
that all this should happen in one OF
the most enlightened and most pros
porous rural communities in this old
State is a shock that may well cause
one to doubt whether there has been
that progress in civilization of which
we have vaunted ourselves.
The evil effects of pernicious litera-
ture were never more wildly shown
than in this shocking brutality. In the
report Of the killing, this sentence oc-
ours: They had the life of Jesse
James, which was to be their guide,
and they boast of reading it through
many times
1t is to be deplored that such books
find their way into the hands of young
men, 1t is a greater pity that among
us there should be receptive minds for
such stories, and hands willing to emu
late deeds of lawlessness,
The Washington Messenger suggests
that it is the duty of the commission
ers of Beaufort county to petition the
Governor to order special term of the
court to try this case.
Governor Fowle responded to an APP
peal from Davidson county in a case of
lynching and ordered a special term of
court. 1t is to be hoped that the COM
missioners of Beaufort have selected
the jury list in accordance with the
law, excluding all but intelligent and
good citizens In very few counties do
the commissioners purge the jury lists
Of incompetent and unworthy men,
and this failure of duty is the most
fruitful cause of the miscarriage of
justice.

REPUBLICANS MUST HAVE FUR
KEY.

\ Raleigh Republican, who says that
he is willing for fusion TO continue,
writes TO the Winston Republican
against fusion on any electoral ticket,
and while willing to give the Popnlists
fair share of the State ticket, says:
Then again as TO the Governorship.
The candidate who heads the State
ticket gives it political character. If
q Populist, whether he be a Democrat
or Republican-PopuIist, is placed at
the head of the ticket, and should be
elected, does it not 90 out to the world
that the State has gone Populist? 1T
could not be otherwise. Per contra.
IF Republican national Republi-
can should head the ticket, and
should be elected, then it places North
Carolina alongside of Ohio, Pennsyl-
vania, Massachusetts and other Repub-
iican States"
Since the November elections the Re-
pnblicans are making very clear to the
Populists that If they go hunting to-
gether again it shall be turkey for the
Republicans and buzzard for the popu-
lists. or buzzard for the Pops and tur-
key for the Republicans in the division
of the game.

1T wasn't the proper time or place to-
say it. but Senator TilIman, OF South
Carolina, told the truth at the Atlanta
Exposition when he said that consid-
ering the enormous drain on the South
for pensions it was wonderful that she
was able TO hold such an exposition.
Since 1861, four hundrer millions has
gone out of the South for pensions. He
held that If at the close Of the war the
South had had an equal chance, if the
tariff had not robbed the farmers and
the finances of the country had not
been allowed to concentrate in the
hands of few there was no CONJECTURE
ing what this Exposition would be.

A DRUNKEN "REDEEMER. I"

Yesterdays Topeka State Journal contained
an account of digraceful scene on Kansas av-
enue last Sunday, in which the occupant OF
one of the most important offices in the state'
and member of the executive council, was SO
drunk that he could scarcely walk. He lett the
Copeland hotel and started for the Santa Fe de-
pot, intending to 60 to Kansas City, butt as his
legs got so badly tangled up as to make locomo-
ton almost impossible, a friend who met him
him undertook to put him onto street-car' but
was unsuccessful. The drunken official then
wendell his winding way toward the depot. he
got there after while, but the train had been
gone fully ten minutes.
The Journal suggests that, as Cy Leland has
been so successful in his investigation OF SEN
ator Rogers for alleged drunkenness, he should
now turn his attention to the drunken state OIL
cial. Under the laws of Kansas, drunkenness
is sufficient cause for the removal OF any state
or county officer How many Republican pa
pers in the state will demand this officials re-
rnoyal?

NEW LABOR ORGANIZATION.

The American Industrial Union is new Ia
Dor organization which was launched at Chicago
a few days ago. The general plan Of this union
is of the broadcast scope, says the es-Herald,
and is intended to embrace all classes of work.
men, from the man who works with his hands
to the man who works with his brain. Its I'M
deriving idea is to adjust labor to the demand
for it, and if there is too great supply at one
point, to carry it to another, where the demand
is greater. The law of supply and demand
would always keep labor employed If labor
could quickly respond to the demand, but there
are always artificial distractions in the way.
Time and space must be overcome, and it is
only organized effort that can overcome them.
Men and women are often thrown out OF en-
ployment because of the introduction of ma
chinery, compelling them to seek other voca-
tons. The Industrial Union meets this by
establishing colonies at various places. Tracts
of land are to be acquired and families settled
thereon, where, with but little delay, liveli-
hood, at least, may be gained.
Another of the cooperative features of this
organization will be the establishment of saw
ings banks and the encouragement of economy
and individual accumulation.
No person is to be debarred from joining the
union, and the doors are open to everybody,
save that members of monopolistic corporations
cannot hold office in it.
A splendid feature Of the organization is its
advocacy of woman's acknowledgements
The fact that members of monopolistic cor
porations are eligible to membership in the
union removes the probability of any lasting
good coming from the organization. United
action at the ballot-box is the only remedy for
the evils from which the laborers suffer.

EDITORS AGITAToR 1 desire to go on record
as opposed to any man for president, or for any
other Office, who does not stand pat on the land,
money and transportation questions as declared
in the Omaha platform. I also desire to ex-
nress nv supreme contempt for the statesmen
out of a lob who recently met and attempted to
fost upon the Peoples party Democrat for
president and Republican for vice-president.
In an orthodox sense, let me say, to hell with
auv candidate who carries the scent of either
one of the old political harlots on his person.
I shall stand by the "old guard and fight it
out on the Omaha plan if it takes lifetime.
I am Methodist so far as recruits and member
ship are concerned. To belong to party and
to be taken into full membership with all the
rights and privileges that belong to the faithful,
one must forsake the world, the flesh and the
devil that dominate the two old parties, and be-
come humble and obedient members. If they
cannot lead, they must be willing to follow. In
either case, they must do works meet for repent
ance. and throw off the old man and put on the
new.
The Peoples party is party with capital
P. and its members should see to it that union
of Democrats and Republicans shall not destroy
its usefulness by destroying its organization. If
a Democrat would eat pie, let it be Democratic
Die. If Republican would eat pie, let it be
Republican pie-and let each look to his own

FAITHFUL AND PATIENT.

The object of new organizations IS, general
ly, to propagate new doctrine, theory or be-
lief-to build up new system. 1t IS assumed
that where new organizations spring into exist
ence, existing organizations are disinclined and
;ncompeteut to deal with new theories or con-
ditions.
Upon this assumption, the Peoples party or
eanization was launched Upon the political sea.
Land, transportation and finance are the three
great planks in its platform. 1t cannot abandon
either, consistently, since each is OF the great
est importance to the masses, and are intimately
connected and the organization would fall short
of its mission if the reforms along all lines in
Dictated are not accomplished, either through
old organizations or by acquiring the necessary
strength in the new.
The necessary strength in the new has not,
as vet, been acquired, but the Discrimination and
incompetency of old political parties have been
fully demonstrated. We are passing through
the first stage of propaganda. Principles OF
new organization must not only be proclaimed
but reasoned out-elucidated.
Great things are of slow growth. Millions
of wears elapsed from creation before the earth
became habitable to man. The theory OF
republican form of government is much older
than the American republic.
Reforms such as are contemplated by the
Peoples party are far in advance Of any of the
theories formerly held by political parties, and,
taking the obstacles in the way, outside of the
education of the masses, the movement must Of
necessity require years Of labor before fruitage.
But, let us not be discouraged, for, as sure as
the Pilgrim fathers planted our republic, so
sure has the Peoples party planted new and
better era for the toiling millions of the human
race.

Points Of Action for Reformers.

(I) Never destroy reform paper, but al
ways hand and recommend it to some friend.
CD Send in lists of friends to various reform
papers, and they will mail them sample copies.
CD Discontinue the patronage of old party
organs. Why should you support those who
seek your destruction? Why give strenth and
inspiration to those who ridicule and run down
the reform movement?
CD But if you have a home paper-non-
PARTISAN independent or mild in its utterances,
cut out extracts on timely subjects from your
reform papers, and request it to publish them.
This directs people to thinking on reform sub
jects.
60 If you want Chicago daily (reforn),
here is the way to get it, First discontinue
your old party daily, and then actively support
the Age, Sentinel and Express, and you will
soon give them strength enough to begin re-
form daily but you will never do it by support
ing the old party dailies, 1 assure you. We
must, first and last, discountenance and discour-
age our enemy, the Plutocratic press, and solid
ly support Our reform press-our friends. To
this end, beg of all reformers to cut loose en-
tirely-to have no fellowship with old party
organs. In doing this, we make ourselves
FELT by them. They will feel us as we, one
by one, drop our subscription with the farewell
that 1--WE want no paper that opposes or runs
QOWn the 1e1Orm movement. 1t Will teach
them to have more respect for us and our opin-
ions for the press is sensitive to the opinions of
the people (when it cannot lead them), and, in
the very act of Our withdrawing our support
from the old party papers and transferring it to
the reform papers-in this very act, say, we
exert mighty influence for good. Mark you,
they will soon let up on their persecution of re-
formers when they see us fully leave them as
we grow in numbers, and wholly, heartily en-
dorse and support only reform papers. They
will fear for the balance of their subscription
lists. Then, too, we all want to econmize, so
why pay Sc for three weeklies for year when
you can get three reform weeklies for $3.50
year, or twice as many papers for half the
money? Save money, then, by dropping the
old and taking the new but, for the sake of
the cause, don't save at the expense of your
friends, but, rather, your enemies. Drop way
back, say-nothing, do-nothing fossilized, old
party papers, and, for half the money, get
twice the number, and infinitely more value, of
reform papers. Reformers, swing fully into
line; cut loose entirely from the old party press,
and put your shoulders to the great wheel of
progress and reform that will crush all oppos-
ton in time. c. WIRTH, NJ D.
