MIR. BLACK AND THE CLUBS.

An examination of the constitution of
the National Association of Democratic
Clubs shows that there is not line in it
referring to the money question. It's
objects are defined in the following
declaration, and they are as broad as
the principles of Democracy:
To foster the formation of permanent
Democratic Clubs and Societies through
out the United States, and insure their
active co operative in disseminating
Jeffersonian principles Of government;
To preserve the Constitution of the
United States, the autonomy of the States,
local self government, and freedom of
elections;
To resist revolutionary changes and
the Capitalization of power;
To oppose the imposition of taxes
beyond the necessities of government
economically administered;
To promote economy in all branches
of the public service;
To oppose unnecessary commercial re-
strictions for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many;
To oppose class legislation, which de-
spoils labor and builds up monopoly;
ITO maintain inviolate the fundamental
principle of Democracy-"E Equality be-
fore the Law" and
To cooperate with the regular organ
ization of the Democratic party in sup
port of Democratic men and Democratic
measures.
1t will thus be seen that President
Black has no more warrant for using
the clubs to propagate the doctrines of
the gold men than Mr.. Bryan would
have in using it as an agency to advance
the free coinage of silver.

TALK TOO MUCH POLITICS.

Mr.. B. F. White has just returned
from Newark, N. J., and other cities
North. and says that our brethren up
there say we have the finest country In
the world, but we do not appreciate IT.
The Democrat asked Mr.. White what the
people there say about the financial ques
tion-gold and silver, 16 to l, and so on.
He said they say nothing about it. They
have no time for airing their political
opinions generally, and told him the peO
pie in the beautiful, well blessed sunny
South waste too much time and breath
on such things That is why we are so
far behind, they say. To all of which
the Democrat mods assent. Scotland
Neck Democrat.
This is the gospel truth. While we
would not have our people neglect to
carry out their political principles, there
would be more happiness and more
prosperity if more thought were given
to making and spinning more cotton and
less to stalking politics" A few days
ago in Sampson county there wa. a seri-
GUS encounter between a Democrat and
a Populist who were talking politics
1t takes too much of our time, engenders
too much i'll feeling, prevents study OF
other important and more practical
questions, and inculcates a spirit of too
much dependence for prosperity upon
government and too little upon our own
exertions and ingenuity.
We ought to think enough politics to
elect good men to Office and secure good
government, but North Carolina would
be richer and happier if three fourths of
the time spent in stalking" politics was
employed in more useful ways.

THE NEGRO.

The North Carolina University Maya
zine lately contained sketch Of the
Life and Character of Wilson Caldwell, "
by Prof. Kemp P. Battle, Ii. D., of
which the significance lay in the fact
that the subject of the sketch is still lv-
ing, and that he is the long-faithful col
ored ianitor of the University. The
article has been reprinted separately.
Few white ianitors, we may be sure,
have thus been honored. In line with
this incident is the announced intention
of Mr.. White, of Rock Hill, s. O., to
commemorate with monument the
negro's loyalty to his masters family
during the war.
The above extract is from the New
York Nation. Northern people are
beginning to see that the Southern white
man has a kindly feeling toward the ne
gro. We doubt if anywhere on earth as
much affection has existed between two
races so widely separated by nature.
But unhappily the negro has been led
astray by bad men of both races. The
future of the negro depends upon the re-
storation of the old time cordial affection
between him and the white man. The
negro alone can restore it. The white
people of this State have taxed them
selves for negro education, have given
the negro equal privileges on cars and
steam boats, have erected asylums for
the afflicted of his race, have protected
him as a voter and juror, and have
been just to him as laborer. What
has the negro done in return2 The mass
of them have voted steadily against every
interest of the State, have made rascality
possible in legislation, have shown little
appreciation of right and favors already
granted, have followed bad men, igno-
rant men, sorry men, instead of true
and patriotic men.
The path for the negro is plain. Let
him follow good men, for they alone will
do him justice.
Such Hunders, closely related to
crimes, as the surrounding of the Jail in
Winston on Sunday night do much to
destroy the good feeling and cordial re-
lations that subsist between the whites
and the best element of the negroes in
the State.

MR.. HENDERsoN'S FREE COIN
AGE RECORD.

The Charlotte Observer reprints a
statement made by Hon. John s. Hen
derson in 1886, giving reasons why he
voted against a bill offered by Mr.. Blaine
for the free coinage of silver. Since
1886 Mr.. Henderson has, we believe,
eyerytime the opportunity has been pre-
sented to him voted for the silver free
coinage. In the special session of 1898
he voted for it at all the ratios proposed,
from 16 to 20 to /; then voted for res
toration of the Bland-Allison act, and
on the final vote he voted against the
unconditional repeal. of the Sherman law.
If Mr.. Henderson is not in favor of free
coinage of silver at 16 to his record
does him serious injustice.

ouAY,s POLITICAL HYPNoTIsM.

The most active and bitter political
fight being made in the United States to-
day is the war to the knife in Pennsyl-
vania between Senator Quay on the one
side, and Gov. Hastings, Chris Magee
and Martin on the other. 1t is fight
of ringster against ringster, and the
people are bound to lose which ever side
wins. In no State is the politics on a
lower plane thanin Pennsylvania. Schem-
ing, trading and machinery in the Key
stone State have long ago taken the
place of learning, eloquence and states
manship.
The following story, told by the New
York correspondent of the st. Louis Re
public, shows Quay's hypnotic tempera-
ment, and also shows his ''shifty" ways:
Magee came within an ace of retiring
Quay to private life in 1882, and only
the quick wit of the Beaver politician
saved him, When the State Convention
met at Harrisburg in that year Quay dis
covered that Magee had majority Of the
delegates, and proposed to run the con-
vention to suit himself. Quay's followers
were demoralized. But not so the leader
himself. He looked over the field and
found the weak point in the enemy's
armor. This was in the delegation from
Chester county. These delegates had
been instructed to secure some recognl-
ton of the temperance cause by the
convention, and to demand plank in
the party platform declaring against the
liquor traffic. Quay sent lieutenant to
the Chester delegation, and the latter
were told that Quay was cold-water
man, and that if the Chester men would
support him Quay would see that plank
got in the platform that would suit the
temperance people. The men from
Chester were jubilant, and readily as
sented to the proposition. When the
question of the platform came up IN the
convention Quay himself arose and pro-
posed a plank to the effect that
the voters of Pennsylvania should
decide whether or not the State
should prohibit the sale of liquor. Magee
was nonplused. He could not support
Quay's motion because he stood pledged
to the distilling interests of Pittsburg,
and coquetting with the temperance men
at Harrisburg meant loss of prestige at
home. The liquor men in Quay's ranks
were silenced by the explanation that for
constitutional reasons Quay's proposition
could not be passed upon by the voters of
the State for 10 years, and that the tenn
perance agitation would necessarily be
inactive for that length of time. Magee
and the Chester delegates did not know
this. Magee suggested that the resolu-
ton be submitted to a committee, but
Quay, with the enthusiasm of a new
convert, declared that the hour had
come, that the wives and mothers of the
Keystone State were gathered before
their hearthstones and that the liquor
traffic must go. Quay talked for an
hour, and the anti liquor plank was &C
cepted by the convention. Then the
nominations were made, and the Chester
men stood by their pledges to Quay
Magee was defeated. When 1t was all
over Quay is reported to have said to his
immediate friends: "Well, that was
about as dry speech as I never made.
Let's all take drink"

Recently Mr.. Leonard started dis
tillery near Reds Crossing church in
Davidson county. The members held a
meeting and asked the distiller to move
his plant, but he refused because his
bond had been made up. The church
people were determined that the distil-
lery should not remain within 200 yards
of their place of worship and offered to
pay all expense Of removal, Leonard
agreed to this and nine wagons were en-
gagged to move the outfit, which was car
ried below Lexington.

WHITNEY is IN THE RACE.

The interview with Mr.. Whitney, pub
lished in to days paper, shows that the
New Yorker is praying to be the Elijah,
upon whom the mantle of his more dis
tinguished fellow citizen will be thrown
in 1896. Mr.. Whitney wants the Cleve-
land influence. He thinks he already
has the Tammany support, and much
other -Tammany influence, and his
only fear is that Carlisle will receive the
Cleveland mantle.
No matter whether hr. Whitney makes
formal statement or not, he is in the
race for the Presidency if we can read
his interview with any correctness.
