AFrr,,k Of the storm.

When the wind storm was hovering
over West Wilmington on Thursday a
curious thing was observed from an
upper story Of the Equitable Building.
The tower of the Mt Salem Church,
which was in the field Of vision. was
at times entirely concealed from view.
The clouds in that vicinity would nc
casionally allow sight of the towor

MIR. Watson's Letter.

The letter of Hon. Thomas E
Watson to Chairman Butler, Of
North Carolina, will go down to his
tory as the sblest presidential &C.
ceptance that was ever written.
1t is masterpiece Of English COM
position, and bristled with undis.
guised indignation, while oouched in
the most elegant language.
1t beamed with love of party, love
Of country and love of sincerity.
Written in the authors strongest
and most earnest style, wisconsin
was pictured in every sentence, and
the whole setting was the most bril-
liant product Of the pen of a veri-
table genius.
1t is no longer o wonder that the
reception of this letter was so long
denied by man of Buffers vascil-
lating character. The only surpris-
ing thing is, that Its reception was
ever admitted.
Tom Watson literally scorched the
hair of his chairman, and his last
contribution effsotuslly burles every
Populist leader who betrayed him.
The letter reads like prophesys and
shows oonolusively that Butler and
Jones, in their respective places, be.
ttsyed the people and elected Mo-
Kinley.
There is no longer doubt as to the
wisdom of The Commercials advice.
Had Tom Watson been accepted and
Sewall takea eff the ticket, Bryan
would have been elected.
If prosperity does not come with
McKinley's administration, then the
people will see that Bryan and Wat
son is the ticket in 1900,
No patriot should neglect to read
Mr.. Watson's letter. 1t is a lesson
TO every man who loves his country
No man, other than Watson, could
have written such a letter. 1t is a
wonderful Observation-Disclosures Com

Heaven and Trust Money.

In addressing the Chicago Univer-
sity Mr.. John D. Rockefeller, one of
the chief organizers and bensficiaries
of the Standard Oil Company, made
claim to divine right as bold as any
which has been advanced since the
great controversy on that subject in
the time of Charles 1. "God gave
me my money and give it to the
university" said Mr.. Rockefeller.
This is to some a very alluring
theory, and it is frequently advanced
now as it was some hundreds of
years ago. Ia the thirteenth and
fourteenth centuries there was a.
every crossroads q captain OF in.
dustry preying on commerce and tax
ing forced loans from trade, and out
of the vast estates thus accumulated
hospitals, monasteries and churches
were built as q means Of ssnctifying
the Hystem and establishing its divine
right to exist.
If Mr.. Rockefeller has from 500.
100000 to $1oO,OOO,ooO that he has
not earned, every newspaper reader
in the country knows that it is not
the gift of Heaven, but that it came
through the Standard Oil Trust, one
of the most unsorupulous and rapa-
cious monopolies ever organized. 1t
has bought conventions, corrupted
courts, bribed Legislatures and done
more to dsmoralize American politics
than any other single agency. It,
principles are depraved, its practices
degrading, its success shameful, it's

The Trusts and Tariff.

Senator Pettigrew, of South Da-
kota, in a speech at Sioux Falls the
other night sSid that be would rem
der every aid possible in any at.
tempt made by the new President to
demonstrate that the tariff is what
ails the country, but he wanted to
"pus himself on record by saying
that he would resist every section Of
a bill that should provide for tariff
on any article controlled by trust. :"
That is the position which Cleveland
and the Democratic House elected
in 1892 to reform the tariff were
urged to rake by every element in
the party which desired to see the
great victory of that year bear the
fruit the people meant it should bear.
But Mr.. Cleveland was too busy dis.
tributing the spoils, and too much
concerned for the maintenance of the
gold standard, to care anything
about the tariff. By the time he
got ready to give attention to the
work he was elected to perform the
trusts had risen from the ground, re-
covered their breath, and rallied at
Washington to do business in the
old way.
Senator Pettigrew's principle Is
right, but it cannot be enforced liter
ally. The trusts are so numerous

covered ta0 entlr9 west was forcing
its way East and South. Thorough
and complete reform in finance,
transportation and land had become
the battle-cry of well nigh majority
of the people West OF the Missouri
river, and of Texas and Georgia. A
great party, the Democratic party,
had proven traitor to the country
and wac in the throes of death
Democratic politicians foresaw that
their Jobs were about to be lost.
Politicians who had cast the votes Of
their states once, twice, three times
for Cleveland in as many national
conventions, saw that the time had
come when they had either to cease
CO. operating with Wall street or give
up their governorships; genatorships;
CO gressional seats, and county
offices. THIS fac. stared them in the
face. They looked about them for a
means OF holding their jobs. Ger
tain Western Republicans and Ger
tain prominent Populists were striv-
ing for "union of reform forces" 80
they could get reelected instead Of
being succeeded by Populist advo-
Gates of government ownership of
railroads. Why, yes, let's unite, was
the happy thought of Vest, Voorhees,,
Jones of Arkansas, and thousands OF
other Democratic Office holders and
Office seekers. "Lst's unite in the
Democratic party" And Stewart,
and Teller, and Weaver, and Allen,
&C., said Let it be So" Just how
many months ago they answered
thus the public does not know, but
circumstances very strongly point to
date nearly two years past. The
"union of reform forces" advocated
by Senator Stewart, now and for
thirty years or more an attorney and
lobbyist for the Central Pacific rail-
road, was believed at the time by
many Of us as intended as move in
opposition to government ownership
of railroads, and especially in oppo-
sition to the government taking pos
session of the Pacific railroads under
the past due mortgages.
Who were the head leaders in the
move to capture the Peoples party ?
Jones of Arkansas, and Senator
Stewart.
Jones less than two years ago in
troduced bill in the Senate provid-
ing for four things: The issuance of
five hundred million dollars OF bonds;
national banks to have one hundred
per cent on bonds deposited instead
of 80 per cent, and the charge for
same to be reduced to I of l per
cent per annum; the destruction of
part of the greenbscks and silver
notes; for the unlimited coinage Of
silver. All these propositions in the
one bill.
Stewart was on the Senate Pacific
railroads committee. That commit
tee reported in favor of extending
the time on the debt of the Pacific
rail roads to the government for
eighty years and reducing the inter-
est rate on the debt to two per cent.
Stewart as a member of that COM
mittee favored the report. The re-
port of the committee claimed that
the government had better release all
CLAIMS on roads, thanto adopt the prin-
ciple Of government ownership by
taking possession of the Pacific rail
roads and operating them. Stewart

One of the hottest contested series in
the games of the Jersey City League
was rolled last night on the Pytlian
han alleys between the Clinton and
paramount teams. who are second and
third in the record, and as his series
would seriously affect their championship
tendencies, a large cr6wd was present
to see the teams roll. There is no live
between the bowlers sof these organiza-
lions, to the contrary they are bitter
rivals, and nothing would please the
Fairmounts better than to beat the Clin-
tons out in the roll or prevent them from
winning the championship, no matter
what the cost may be. In view Of this
feeling it is not to be .wondered at that
a great deal of sarcasm was thrown
about during the games, and the only
thing that troubled the home bowlers at
the end of the contest was that they had
been deprived of winning both games,
although they experienced a deep salts
faction at taking one of the three. Clin-
ton fought hard to make it four straight
but were prevented by a degree of hard
luck and he missing of several easy
credits. Many representatives of the
other clubs were present and the crowd
was the largest al a league series in

for two frames only. the first and seventh
in the opening gameg but they were un-
able to keep the. place Inc We're beaten
