The negroes in N. c., in
some section have organized
a secret order having for its
object the remove Of OBJ
jections against them on ac-
count OF color and opening
up the way for them to enter
the parlors and churches on
equal footing with white peo-
pie and marry white women.
This movement will soon
bring them into trouble and
they had better let such mat

The True Position On Silver.
News and Observer.

News and Observer.
Senator Blackburn. of Ken
tucky. has stated his own 20
sitiun on the silver question
with srch clearness that it il
worthy to be adopted rs the
Democratic party's declara-
tion upon that question. 1t
is short, comprehensive. safe
and straightforward, and the
Democracy could win on this
platform, if success in 1896
be possible. We quote:

the mints of this country to

silver metal on an exact
equality with gold. / am op
posed to gold monometal-
ism and just as much Oppos-

ence, but | am opposed to

any such conference to act.
Our experience with sugar
agencies has not been such
as to give us eitherconfidence
or hope for the attainment
of this purpose.

tury such ratio will esta bIish
and maintain permanently
the parity between the two
metals. | believe that we
should take this action at
the earliest day possible, in.

views OF other nations"
The "News and Observer"
adopts Senator BlackbIrn's
announcement of his
position as the strongest
way of stating it's own posi-.
ton. The attempt to com
init this country irretrievably
to the gold standard cnanot
be too strongly combatted.
The income tax up to date-has
yielded Uncle Sam over fourteen
of dollars.

The Roam Mountain Bear Hunt.

were killed or disabled and
