TT WILL pn WELL TO GO SLOW.

rraor the occasion of his recent visit
20 Raleigh, Congressman Pearson init
mated very broadly that Mr.. Pritchard
would be reelected TO the Senate because
he would distribute The Federal patron
age. This means, OF course, that there
are populist legislators enough who
want a Federal office SO bad that they
will sell their votes 20 Pritehard and
take pay in an Office.
Net discussing the proposition whether
rritehard would descend lew enough to
thus traffic for votes, or legislators prove
reereant and sell out the convictions OF
their constituents for an office for them
selves, it may be well TO enquire whether
there are enough offices TO so around
Cor this purpose. Under the administra-
ton of Harrison and Cleveland many
places were put under the Civil Service.
and outside the postofiices there are few
places within the gift OF thePresident.
All the attractive $1,000 positions In
Washington. the clerkships in the post
gaugers and inspectors in the revenue,
land and pension service, which were
heretofore in the gift OF the political
parties, have all been placed under the
Civil Service. 1t is true that the present
incumbents could be removed IL their
superior officers would testify to their
incompetency, but even then they could
not appoint their successors. They
would be forced to so to the list of
eligibles, and appoint from the three
highest on the list, and could not en-
quire into their politics. This removes
all such positions from the gift OF the
Republican officials who viii be appointed
by Mr.. Mckinley. The members OF
the cabinet will not even be permitted to
appoint the messenger that stands at
their doors or the man who drives their
carriages, so all embracing are the Civil
Service regulations.
If Senator Pritchard should offer to
give Populist position as Presidential
postmaster, or any other that required
the confirmation OF the Senate, does not
everybody know that Senator Butler
could prevent confirmation? The Senate
will be so close that no man can be con-
firmed against whom a persistent war
fare is made? Senator Pritchard might
be able, in case of his election, to secure
the confirmation of straight Republi-
cans, but a North Carolina Populist
seeking confirmation by the Senate over
Senator Buffers protest, would have
rough road to travel.
II there is single Populist legislator
who thinks OF trading his vote for
place under Pritchard, he might profit
ably consider these facts before making
the final plunge. All the Populists so
far heard from Indignantly deny that
they are pledged to Pritchard, and some
of them declare it to be an insult to say
that they would vote for him or any
other gold man.

A STATE REFoRMAToRY.

The Baptist State convention did well
TO paas resolution in favor of establish.
ing State Reformatory for youthful
criminals. Other religious and education
al organizations have passed similar res"
olutions, and bill appropriating $4,000

one house Of the Legislature. It IL to be
hoped That the retiring and incoming Gov
crnor will urge the establishment OF in

that the practise of bringing young Of
tenders into constant association with
hardened criminals will be brought to an
early end.

The Mckinley Wave and its Effect on
Wilson Tobacco-Quaint Concert.
Wilson, n. c., Nov. 19-(SpeciaD-Mr
Joseph Il. Ward, proprietor of Wards
hotel dropped dead here this morning
For several months he has suffered very
intensely with neuralgia, but nothing
serious was expected. Yesterday for
the first time in several months he walk
ed up town, and talked with his many
friends, telling every one that he was
very much better this morning. He
was at his home talking to a friend
when he suddenly died. Just q few
minutes previous he was telling his COM
panion how much improved he was. Mr..
Ward leaves a wife and six sons, one
of them now being a freshman in the
University.
The rush on our tobacco market last
week has lowered very much the price
of tobacco. The daily sales are large,
but prices are very low. Farmers are in
many cases forced to sell, they not being
able to meet the demand on them in
any other way.
Under the direction OF Mrs. Floyd
Davis 'Ye Old Folks Concert was given
here tonight. Several young ladies
from other towns, among them Miss
Sallie Gotten, of Cottendale; Miss Sue
Borden, Of Goldsboro and Miss Beulah
Wilson. of Morganton. took part in the
entertainment. All wore the costumes
Of olden times. The proceeds of the
evening were given to the Presbyterian
church.

THE FIGHT HAS ONLY COMMENC-
ED.


Referring to the election of Gen. Pet
tus and Mr.. Clay to the United States
Senate, the Philadelphia Times says:
Both are men of good reputation
and Of sufficient ability to represent
their States creditably. Both are
free coinage men, but as the result
of the recent election has made free
coinage an impossibility, their predi-
lection for Organism is not likely to
last long. They are both too sensi-
bic to continue to advocate a lost
cause"
''They are too sensible to continue to
advocate a lost cause is the measure
of the devotion to a principle that act
mates the business world. The issue OF
free coinage was presented to the people
in November for the first time. A
change of 25,00e votes in certain close
States would have elected Mr. Bryan who
received more than six million votes Can
it be said that any cause is lost which
test?
We take it that MIR. Pettus, Mr.. Clay
and other honest advocates of free sill
Yer, while not obstrueting any proposed
wise legislation that wenld provide more
currency, will continue the fight they
have commenced, confident that victory
VIII come in 1900 Both of these gentle
men owe their election to the Senate to
the fact that the free coinage advocates
believe they will not be discouraged by
one defeat, and viii stand ia that great
forum as champions of bi-metallism. If
the people of Alabama and Georgia had
believed free silver a lost cause, they
would have sent gold men like Coy. Oates
and Hon. Henry G.. Turner to the Sen
ate to advocate the gold standard. 1t is
because they believe the cause is right
and has living force that they have sent
these two men to represent them in the
greatest deliberative body in the world.
Faith in free coinage made their cleo
ton a possibility; their devotion to the
cause of silver will make its free coin
age possibility. They will stand firm
during their term. The fight has only
commenced.

ical treatment that money could secure,
tried all cough remedies he could hear
of, but got no relief; spent many nights
sitting up in a chair; was induced to try
DIR. Kings New Discovery, and was
cured by the use Of two bottles. For the
past three years has been attending to
business. and says DR.. Kings New Dis
coyery is the grandest remedy ever made,
as it has done so much for him and for
others in his community. DR.. Kings New
Discovery is guaranteed for coughs,
Colds, and Consumption. 1t don't fail.

NOT A PERMANENT DEFEAT.

4 Congressman Charles n Hartman, Of
Montana, chatted pleasantly with a Post
reporter at the Ebbitt House yesterday
about the election and the proba bilities of
future contests along the same lines. Mr..
Hartman walked out of the st. Louis
convention along with Senators Teller
and Dubois on account of his inability to
subscribe to the single gold standard. He
voiced the sentiments of his own people
thoroughly, and the loyalty of his consti-
tuents was shown by his reelection to
Congress by a majority of 25,000 votes.
The eloquent young Montanian was in
great demand during the campaign, and
his speeches for silver in other States
won for him the highest applause.
II do not believe" said he, that the
silver cause has gone down in permanent
defeat. Bimetallism is a world necessity,
and its advocates are growing in num-
bers and influence in every civilized coun-
try We shall keep up the fight for it
here, and sooner or later will win. 1t is
right, and in the long run what is right
will prevail. Washington Post.

Republicans in Tennessee. During the
campaign, Mark Hanna sent 100000
into that State to buy the electoral vote,
and few days ago he sent this tele-
gram: please send In your report of
how the funds were used" Only $780,
900 had been expended, and as the Ten
nessee Republicans couldn't bear to send
back the other $4,000 they decided to
spend it in contest for Governor, divid-
ing it out among the Republican lawyers
in those districts where they decided to
allege fraud. AS Bob Taylor is going to
allege and prove fraud in big Republi-
can counties, some Republicans think
the contest win be boomerang.
