PoPULIsTs TO BE WITHDRAWN.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 20.-The Popu-
lists are about to execute a maneuver
that win give every impression that
the second barrel of that double fusion
proposition is to go off. 1t is the in
tention of the chairman of the Peoples
party to Withdraw every candidate for
Congress in the State, with the excep-
ton of those in the First and Fourth
districts, and here they intend to sim
ply tear up the earth and elect their
candidate if possible, according to
Chairman J. A. Parker, who thus ex-
pressed himself to-day.

As bitterly opposed as was the VIII
mington Messenger to the Electoral
Union, it's patriotism is taking posses
sion of it. Although it's judgment is
hard against, it says in spirit of no
bility which should be commended to
all Democrats:
"It may be that by the election
if will appear wiser and safer to
swallow the compound dose rath-
er than to have Mckinley foisted
upon the country, which would be
great disaster in many ways. 1T
would be sure to perpetuate tax
that will be extremely oppressive
and absolutely robbery of the
masses"

THAT BISMARCK LITTER.


Now the New York World has Stirred
np another Schiapperelli fake in the
matter Of the Bismarck letter. Instead
of letting the letter stand for Bis-
marc<'s meaning, ebe World has hatch
ed up somebody to translate 'inde-
pendent i'm the expression "independ-
emit action" as substantial But the
whole story has been editoriaIly SO
briefly and clearly covered and the
fraud SO completely exposed by the
Faye0tevHle Observer Of Monday, that
we prefer simply DO quote THAT.
The Observer says:
1T is quite true that stress was
laid both Nv the committee and by
Mr.. Bryan upon Bismarcks alleged
expression of opinion that "inde-
pendent action by the United
States would exert a most salu5ary
influence upon the consummation
of international agreement.
THAT being so, we have only 20
inquire whether Governor Gulber-
sons translation of the word ''selb-
standig' as independent" or the
Worlds translation Of the same
word as Substantial" is the cor
rect translation.
"The matter is capable Of such
easy settlement by any one who
possesses a German English die
tionarv, that only those who are fa-
miiar with the Worlds habit Of be-
clouding a simple fact 10y sensa-
tionally raising a question of its
very existence, could believe that
the paper had no shadow Of foun-
dation for ITS contention in this
case.

self" Adler's unabridged diction-
airy gives, ON page SCI, the mean
ing of Hhe word as "sef-dependent
independent, substantial"
" 1t will be observed that the
World has gone out of its way
to take the secondary definition
Of the word, which bears no rela-
tion whatever to the context, in
stead of the definition which is
primary and derivaltive by the first
intention, so to speak, and which
precisely fits the context.
The Worlds so-called exposure
is a trick that is as vicious as Mr..
Cleveland's substitution of the
word coin" for metals i'm his
seigniorage veto message, but it
is easier of detection and lacks the
artistic finish of that 'perfidious"
and dishonoraIble' document.

tudinous lives"

FlNANCIER FOR SILVER.
Letter Of Timothy Gruaz, Loan Agent,
to the Illinois Farmers.

Mount Vernon, H., Sept. 29.-The
following letter from Timothy Gruaz,
the loan agent and financier of High
land, Ill, is being sent to hundreds of
farmers in Southern Illinois by the
international Insurance Loan Agency,
and is a powerful argument for free
silver:
"To Ny Many Patrons in Southern
Illinois:
''In answer to numerous inquiries
relative to the probable future action
of this international Loan Agency, I
beg to state that / represent several
Swiss capitalists, true and steady Re-
publicans, Of the old school, all with
out any reservation favoring the free
and unlimited coinage of both gold
and silver at the usual American ratio
of Is to 1, as the shortest road to
general prosperity here and abroad,
and further, that should the free coin
age of silver prevail, I expect to ac-
commOdate my clients much better in
the future than in the past. Yours for
free thought, free coinage, and above
all, free men,

cannot carry the State. A vote against
the only electoral ticket that can pos

Building; from political prellIllllia-
ries" to political harangnes at the
Academy of Music; from political ha-
rangues to erratic joint-debates with
women. How queer Tom was getting;
the folks at home kind of shook their
heads, but somehow thought it would
come around all right. But no one
knew the underswell that kept the
breakers within him tumultuous.
And now comes a letter to his old
father telling him how he is going to
do this, that and the other in an hour.
Even if he were able to convince the
old man, that old man will stick by his
home and his home people. They are
good enough for his ideals, and some
day Tom will say the old man was
right.
He is coming down from big New
York to try to destroy the landmarks
of his fathers. There will be many who
viii abuse him; some will bear with
him: the greater number win sympa-
thize with his old father, and will pity
the young man who has thus torn
from his heart about the only harmon
ious chord it had left in 1.-THE note of
home and home folks. He will not do
any harm. Tarheels cannot be moved in
their staunchness toward their own
by a man who comes to them almost
beside himself after a voyage that has
no doubt been tempestuous.
But why don't somebody-some
friend has he any close friends?) get
hold of the young man, and say "stop
and get calm, get your brilliant facul-
ties at rest and your original ideas
classified" And then too they say
that he will be paid for his speeches
against his own folks. And more's the
pity!
One afternoon some years ago
at Bloomingdale Asylum in New
York, where poor Harry Ker-
nell was confined, there was a
musicale for the benefit of the crazy
people. Poor, Seaman, too, the actor
was there and he seemed to come to
himself for an instant when somebody
sang his ''My Molly or that he wrote
and sang while the people applauded.
Then Queenie Vassar, the Little actress
and wife of Harry Kernen went to the
organ and looking deep into the mean
ingless face of Harry not far away
tried to call him back to himself Pre-
sently she sang ''The Bowery" that he
used to sing as comedian in Tony Pas
tors and the light came to him as if
by flash and then the tears filed his
eyes.
We cannot believe Tom Dixon is en-
tire1y himself when he would breathe
fire and slaughter into the midst of
those of his childhood--he will be
harmless-but some picture of his
peoples struggle, of their courage, of
their only desire to make the State a
community of homes and of peace
there might be some flash that might
bring him to himself.
Not for our own safety, but for the
good name of the young men of North
Carolina whom the old folks and home
friends always follow with love and
hope and pride--we ask Tom Dixon to
stop and listen-listen long to the end
that he may hear some voice chanting
before the altar in the chapel of his
inner heart: BLESSED be that hand that
will not be lifted up against it's own
hearthstone!"
"Stop Toni That's what the 'old
man" will say at the end of that hours
talk.

Mr.. Taylor Grandy, a North Caro-

News and Observer, has now formed a
connection with Mr.. Stilson Hutchins,
the founder of the Washington Post,
by which THE two will own and conduct
the Richmond State. Mr.. WIS. Cope
land, its recent part owner and editor,
having sold out his interest, will re-
tire, and the papers policy will be
changed to that of free silver and
Bryan. OF course, we watch the course
of Mr. Grandy with much interest, and
have followed him during his good
work on the Washington Post, and
later in his conduct of a paper at Ro-
anoke. He has been successful, and en-
joys the esteem of the profession, and
we wish him the constant growth that
he deserves. Mr.. Copeland edited the
State with marked ability, and we are
sure that he will soon be in the harness
again.

Mats for what naked myths white feet
And cool and calm a cascade far away,
With ever falling beat

Democrats last session in defeating the
consideration of the Dingley tariff bill.
and who subsequently bolted the st.

which induced him to vote against that
measure at the last session are ac-
centuated now by the discovery that
some OF the interests which last ses-
sion favored its immediate enactment
are now opposed to it. This, he says
Is especially true of the wool industry.
on the ground that the present enact
ment OF the Dingley bill would de-
lay the enactment of a satisfactory
tarin measure containing adequate
protection for the wool growers, and in
the end might defeat a complete tariff

senator Hale yesterday expressed
the opinion that the senate would take
up and, he hoped, pass the Dingley bill
at the coming session. 1--WE ought to
