THE STATE FAIR.

If the people of North Carolina could
only know what magnificent exhibit
is displayed at the State Fair this
both anniversary they would come and
come in greater numbers than ever
before. A gentleman, who yesterday
visited the Fair, this being his 36th
annual visit, says it is beyond doubt,
in his oppinion, the best State Fair he
has ever attended, and this was when
he left at noon, and exhibits were then
coming in with a rush. The people of
Raleigh viii al go. Of course, and those
from abroad who don't come viii miss
an opportunity of seeing big thing.
All hail to President Cameron and
Secretary Nichols.

THE ELECTRICITY ARGUMENT Elk
POSED.

Capt Buck Kitchin got the laugh on
Mr.. w. w. Clark, a Palmerite, in a
joint discussion at Greensboro. Mr..
Clark, in trying to explain why prices
were low cited the fact that the use of
electricity to propel street cars had
cheapened the price of horses.
Mr.. Kitchin said in reply that cows
were worth about one-half what they
were four or six years ago. Been app
plying electricity to cows2" asked the
speaker. 1T is the same with hogs.
Have you applied electricity to hogs
and sheep and goats?"

ANOTHER ISSUE ADDED.

AS the campaign progresses, 1T be-
comes more and more clear that the
supreme issue is the money question
and more. The gold standard men have
added another issue and it is, Can the
people make laws, or is this govern
ment by syndicatesP'
In a recent interview, published in
the Washington and Chicago papers,
Hon. J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of
Agriculture, discoursing ON money
as usual Che thinks he is Secre-
tarv of the Treasury, said ''rhe whole
currency question should be taken out
of politics"
The reporter replied: You don't
think it should be decided by vote
of the people? ?" and Secretary Morton
answered:
you might as well submit to Il
popular vote the question of wheth
er Koch's lymph is good for con-
sumption" And added: THE ques-
ton of the currency is not the sort
of one to be settled by popular
vote. 1t is not so any more than
would be the question of whether
corn should be planted in rows or
hills, submitted to the vote of the
cities. The farmers would justly
say: What the devil do those fell
lows know about planting corn"
/ am for a currency commission.
Let the commission be composed
of say five bankers and commercial
men and two scholars like Prof.
Mclaughlin, of Chicago University.
We have no system of currency
now. Every piece of legislation
we have had has been emergency
legislation. We need system and
men versed in the subject should
be authorized to give us that sys-
tenn. But It's too late now, of
course, in this campaign. And |
have no idea when we shall have
it,
This means that the gold men agree
with Gen. Palmer and would prefer a
monarchy TO a real Republic. Alex
ander Hamilton and his school of
Federalists were fond of talking in the
same vein an hundred years ago. 1T
required the most vigorous efforts OF
jefferson and the other patriots of
that day to secure to the people the
rights guaranteed them, and to prove
that "the consent of the governed"
was the basis of good government.
The same battle is to be fought over
again. If the people are not competent
to pass upon the currency question,
they are not competent to pass upon
the tariff or any other great question.
What is the result? A monarchy.
Properly differed a monarchy might
give good government, but in all his
tory the privileged CLASSES have mono
polized the blessings. The people have
been hewers of wood and drawers of
water They won the right of self
government. Are they ready to give
it up to a commission of five bankers
and commercial men, and two
scholars?' Our financial policy has
been dictated for twenty years by the
bankers and commercial men who
have managed it to make themselves
rich and the people poor. The people
could not have managed it worse.

We are glad to learn that Hon. John
s. Henderson is up again. Mr.. Hen
derson's indisposition has been OF quite
lengthy duration and his many friends
will learn with pleasure of his conva-
lescence. Salisbury Herald.
Henry George, after a few week )
trim through the Central West, writes
the Journal that Bryan will carry the
states THAT have been considered doubt
full in the Central West, and will be
elected to the Presidency.
The International Typographical
Union passed resolutions recommend
ing that the Government Printing Ot-
fee be taken out from under the Civil
Service restrictions in order that
union men may be given work.
- a week ago the gold papers were all
saying that Mckinley would get nearly
all the Baltimore vote. The New York
World made canvass and found that
Bryan would get at least 10 per cent,
and he may get so per cent of the votes.
Senator Teller, who has finished
campaigning through Michigan, says
he found great revolt among Repub-
licams in that State, many influential
ones being out for Bryan. He thinks
the State - safe for the Democratic
ticket.
The chief hope the Republicans
have had of carrying Indiana was that
the German Democrats would desert
Bryan. The Herald's Indianapolis cor
respondent says there sis no German
detection and that calculations
based on the revolt of this race from
their party in Indiana are mislead-
ing"
The Witch of Salem (Aass.), who
predicted the election of Cleveland in
1884, and of Harrison in 1888, and of
Cleveland in 1892, predicts that Bryan
will be elected; that his chances of
carrying New York are good; that
Mckinley will not carry Ohio, and
that times will improve after Bryan's
election.
In looking over the files of old papers

DO newspapers control voters? That
depends. The Springfield Republican
says: Garter Harrison was elected
Mayor of Chicago with every journal

Two years ago, also, Sutro was elected
Mayor of San Francisco without the
support of a single paper. 1t looks as
if the American voter still possessed
some independence of Thought and
action"

TNPRECEDENTED HEAT.

st. Louis, Aug. 9.-Not before i'll the
city of St Louis have its inhabitants
suffered so much from heat as during
the week just ended. The highest
point reached by the thermometer was
100 in the shade and on no day was the
maximum below %. On the streets the
heat was more intense and the record
higher.
City Physician Sutton declared tonight
that the record of prostrations and
deaths for the past week is unprece-
dented in the history of The hospitals.
He reports that 40 cases, all serious,
were cared for and that nineteen of these
died, while more are still in a critical
condition. This is not the complete
record for the city, for at least that
many more cases were taken to the dis
pensaries, where many died, and Others
were sent from there to various hos
pitfalls or their homes for treatment.
Today the highest point reached was
90 in the shade. Twenty victims of the
heat were brought to the city hospital
between 8 a. m. and midnight. But two
of these died. Their names are I'M
known. Others will die.

THAT CHICAGO PLATFORM.
What Former Office Holder of VIII
hanson County Thinks About 1t.

Georgetown, Tex. Aug. S.-(Specal.)-
A gentleman of this city handed The
Statesman reporter Il letter which he had
received from a former resident of this
place. democrat of the South Carolina
school. The writer for many years held
one of the principal offices in this coun-
ty and is now living in the southern part
of the state. In regard to the political
situation he says:
Il note what you say about politics,
but think you enormously confound dem
ocrats with the Chicago and st. Louis
conventions. The former was called as
Il democratic convention, it is true, but it
was captured, or rather it made an I'M
conditional surrender to anarchism and
populsm. and that so-caled democratic
platform seems to he hcrmaphrodite-
half republican and half anarchism.
Among many reason why | will never
endorse it with my ballot, these are the
most prominent:
"FirSt-lt is Il cOWardly dodge and
compromise of time-honored principles.
"Sccond-lts declared purpose, to alb
rogatc the life tenure of federal judges
and drag the judiciary into the cesspool
of politics. is dangerous to our rights
and liberties. and bears the flesh marks
of rcd-handed anarchy.
"Third-lt is Il sad reflection on
great national party when 1t VIII midi
rectly endorse mob violence by refusing
to endorse Cleveland, simply because he,
at the earnest appeals of the best citizen
ship of Chicago, without regard to poll
tics. sent troops to that city to suppress
riots, burglary and arson, the governor
refusing protection to life. liberty and
property of the best people.
"Third-The financial plank is a dcccp-
ton. the creation of INSCRIPTIONS and
designing pie hunters, who are deluding
the ignorant classes into the belief that
80 cents worth of silver will be worth
100 cents by the mere fiat of government
The democrats have simply forgotten
how they ridiculed the fiat ideas of green
hackers. As Judge Aldrdge happily de-
scribcd the free silver craze: 1t is an
effort to put the United States
on Il level with semi-barbarous
nations where honest labor is brought
into competition with the meek and low
ly iackass.
NO, sir: while | retain my senses for
discriminating between right and wrong
principles, you need not seek me in the
Chicago pantheon. If the democrats
should put ticket in the field l will
support it. but | will never be hood
winked into the Bryan fold simply be-
cause his hybrid platform bears the label
of democracy. In my Judgment, it is
no time to compromise principle. If the

1t has been charged that the populist
party was headstrong party that would
go its own way single and alone or not
30 at ALL But it seems this year they
have awakened to the fact in Texas that
possibly it might be best to follow the ex-
ample of their brethren in many of the
western states and try little combi-
nation politics. Certainly the alleged
democrats at Chicago and their suisse
quent efforts ut st. Louis have taught
the populists the great importance they
place ON fusion. And as the populist
party claims TO be party of reform and
progress, who can blame them for want
ing to try the best that can be shown
them? 1t is said they are now sQuarely
in the fusion saddle in Texas, and the
result of the effort will be watched with
great interest.

AT DAVENPORT

Davenport, Ia, Aug. S.-The crowd
followed to the hotel and stood in the
sun until Mr.. Bryan had finished his din
ner, when he addressed them from the
hotel porch, saying:
Ladies' and Gentlemen-I suppose
this is what may be called an after din
ner speech, since | have Just finished an
excellent dinner. | am very glad to- see
you and to give you chance to meet Il
candidate. | believe that it is the duty
of any person who is n candidate for office
to become acquainted with the people
whom ne is to serve if elected. There
is an old-fashioned idea, which, to my
mind, is the idea to be entertained in
this country, that the party chosen is
nothing but hired man. no matter how
exalted the Office or how lowly. He is
simply employed for certain time at
Il certain salary to do certain work. and
the people employ him, not because they
desire to, but because they are too
numerous to do the work themselves
And you have the right to choose the per-
sons who are to do your work and to
watch them all the time they are ut work
In other words. we live in land where
the government derives its Just powers
from the consent of the governed. Not
only the powers of government. but all
the authority of those who govern is de-
rived from the people themselves, and,

Politics seem truly to be in Il chrysals
