Mr.. BATTLES VIEWS.
He Believes Fusion Cannot Last Per-
manentIy and Advises Democrats 10
Abind in the Ship.


Col Olds recently interviewed Mr..
Richard I'll. Battle, ex-chairman Demo
cratic State Executive Committee, of
this city, on the course to be pursued
by the Democrats in the coming cam
paign Mr. Battle gave his opinion as
follows:
II do not wish to obtrude my views
about political matters upon the public,
but you ask what / think to be the duty
of the Democratic party in North Caro-
lima, in the present juncture, and |
give you my opinion for what it is
worth. The Democratic party is, and
should continue to be, a national and
not a sectional party. Ii stands for
certain important principles. We can
hope to maintain those principles only
through national organization. We
must run no risk of sacrificing such
organization from fear that we cannot
have our way about all these princi-
pies. We should meet in State conyen-
ton, declare our principles in plat
form, nominate good men for State
officers, as usual, and send delegates to
the national convention at Chicago
to advocate our principles and nomi-
nate candidates for the presidency and
vice-presidency. We should then abide
by the action of the national conven-
ton and zealously support its candi-
dates.
"Fhe Populist party of North Caro-
lima was made up of extreme Demo-
Gratis. An alliance between them and
the Republicans can represent no
principle, but only a division of spoils.
This cannot long be approved by hon
est Populists or honest Republicans
and the triumph of such a combination
must be only temporary. Let us stand
by our principles and maintain our self
respect. Defeat is better than dis
honor But who can say that in the
present division of other parties Demo-
crazy may not win again next fall?"

Strong Words.

There are many demons that
walk this earth and do their worst
to slav the immortal souls of men,
But the drink temptation differs in
many ways from all the other evil
Influences which threaten to drag
humanity down to hell. In the
first place. it is far less a part of
our own corrupt nature. The IN
clination to drink to excess is by
no means 50 Unborn in us as pride,
luxury. or lazinoss. There are
wide regions of the earth where
men are hardly tempted to intoxi-
cation. 1t is chiefly in the colder
countries of the world that nature.
being more subject to physical III
ffuences which benumb and repress
vitality. seems to crave for Stlm-
ulant. 1t is not true to say, that
such craving is sometimes sov1O-
lent as to deprive a man OF the
power of resistance. In particular
cases it is. no doubt. true that pas
sion or bodily emotion of any kind
may submerge the reason or "a
tional Will. But this is not true OF
any man s life as a whole. But it
the drink temptation is, to a large
extent, Of mems own making, and
thus differs from most others, it is
also more closely affected by a
mans surroundings. Of these the
most important is social compan-
ionship. Very few men or women
care to drink III solitude. On the
other hand. the evil in most cases
s,egins IN sociality. The young
see their elders drinking and they
initiate them. Too often the mere
child. sent ont for its father beer,
or treated to sips of something
stronger when it is going, learns
wants which nature herself would
never have prompted, and the wild
beast which lies asleep in every
human breast wakes up as at the
caste of blood If ever men and
women deserve to be drowned with
stones around their necks, it is the
fathers and mothers who deprave
she souls and bodies of their chill
.lren by intoxicating them with a
.aste for drink! Bishop Hedley.

mach honest criticism. and OF such
we need never to be afraid. A
candid enemy is of far more bene-
lit. often. than Il timid friend. who,
seeing our faults. is afraid to tell
rs of them. The fact that boys
stone certain trees and pass others
by is cxplainable when We find that
the stones are always thrown at
rbe trees that bear fruit. And so
with character: the fact that we
are criticised proves that We are
something better than scrub oaks.

taste for reading often binders our
