Ex-senator Jarvis has written a let
ter to Webster's Reidsville Weekly re-
lative to the campaign next year. Col
onel Webster dissents in part n pre-
sents his reasons We may consider
the letter hereafter. Both Of these gen.
tlemen are clear headed and practical.
So far as North Carolina Is concerned
at present with home affairs the ques-
ton of practical politics must be upper
most. We heard an ~unwavering dem
ocrat, who has never flinched or kick
ed, a man of commOn-sense, a man of
education, Of observation and expert
ence. and a Christian gentleman, say
not long ago that he held Governor Jar
Wis to be a wise, level-headed, sagaci-
GUS politician. So his views are not to
be overlooked. The Messenger has
several times stated that it held him
as the wisest and best leader in poll
tics that it knew of in the state since
the noble Vance went out from among
us into another sphere Of living. Lei
democrats be cautious, cOnciliatory, as
"wise as serpents and as harmless as
doves in dealing with the threatened
| dangers from continued negro supre-
macy in North Carolina and the nee
essary steps to be taken to avert C
a tremendous, unspeakable calamity.

THE CRISIS

There are reports afloat concerning
Weyler, the butcher. One is that he
has been recalled: the other is that
to anticipate being recalled he has re-
signed. 1t is not improbable that he
a resigned, and if he has not it is
probable hat he will be relieved of
command. He has not conducted mat
tiers satisfactorily to a majority of the
Spaniards, and particularly to the par
ty that has succeeded in driving from
power the Canovas ministry. Weyler
was of that party and his best friend
was assassinated in the person Of Cam
ovas. The public disapproval of Wey-
Ter is pronounced. 1t is not perhaps
that he has been too bloody, too sever

FIVE CANDIDATES FOR MAYOR

We nave not been able for MANY
years to feel a very special interest in
New York politics. It has seemed to
many observers that the press and
politics Of the greatest city are not of
the best. The press as a general thing
do far more harm than good to this
country for it advocates measures not
for the benefit Of all sections and the
whole country but for it's city and the
hundred miles around. The politics of
New York have been Sd long time
mixed and corrupt and selfish, that it
is hard for the genuine men of the
south not getting their ideas and prin-
ciples from that part of the dominant,
imperious north to TAX a profound in
terest in the sayings and doings of the
regulation politician and his particular
organ.
AT this time there is a lot of candi-
dates in the field for Mayor. There are
some five or six of these with a certain
class of followers. On general princi-
Piles we would suppose that the repub-
licans would be able 20 capture the
city. The democracy. if there be such
in fact, are split up. OF all the can
didates Henry George, is the ablest
by far and is the candidate
Of the free-silver candidate. He is be-
yond any question a very able man.
His work on Poverty and Progress
is a book of very exceptional power
and created a great futter in Great
Britain some years ago when it was
published. Even so complete a gold
paper as the Jacksonville Times-Upion

dacy:

HOW SHALL MORMONISM RE
MET?

North Carolina Is a free state, pro-
Tossing to be liberal and unproscrip-
tive, giving freedom to all religious
not mean tina religious errors shall go
unchallenged when they produce evil
results and in any way disturb the pub
lie peace. It does not mean that the
Christians SHOULD be Indifferent to the
spread OF doctrines of extreme error
and that work mischief and sorrow
and vice among the people. There are
now in North Carolina forty Mormon
emissaries working upon the ignor-
ance and superstition of the ignorant
men and women that come under their
baleful teaching and influence. They
claim to have now 400 victims already
in this state. Another plea and de-
man for education. OF all the silly,
absurd, baseless so-called religions

deplorable Ia MOrmonism-nOr ever

Shall the MOrmons be prosecuted, ex-
PEELED by force? That will be un-Chris-

to suppress the propagandists of Joe

is tolerated in almost all communities.
What then is the proper remedy to be
| applied within a Christian common
wealth to the pOisons scattered by the
tools Of Mormon polygamy? 1t is, as we
think, for the clergy Of the state to
fully inform themselves as to the orr
gin, history, doctrines, practices and
results of Joe Smithism, and to preach
against it in every community. Let an
active campaign Of instruction be set
in motion in every nook and corner in
every county in North Carolina. With
forty industrious agents of the devil at
work disseminating the most foolish
and lascivious of doctrines since Mo-
manned began his work of deception,
it is high time certainly that the faith
full preachers of Bible Christianity
were awake and alive, and had begun
to meet the emissaries of Mormonism
with arguments based on study and
with a constant appeal to the Chris
tan Scriptures. A so-called religion
that started in New York state, and
has beeen c%unningly and fanatically
developed into it's present system un-
der the manipulation and leadership,
first of Joe Smith, and afterwards OF
Brigham Young, ought not to be al
lowed to enter and continue it's work OF
beguiling and deceiving the credulous
and ignorant unchallenged, unexposed.
Here is a work of more immediate,
pressing Importance than anything else
except to redeem the state from the
cruel, unhallowed clutches and wrong
doings of merciless, selfish, prating
demagogues.

THE DAVIS ESTATE
The Case Enlivened by the Quarrels
of Attorneys

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1.-THE ar
gument of the Davis will contest today
was enlivened by an unexpected Incl
dent. 1t occurred during the opening ar
gument of George A. knight. AT most
interesting point in his speech Knight
imagined that he detected a sneering
smile on the face of w. b. Treadwell, one
of the opposing counsel
Sir" exclaimed knight to Tread
we'll, don't you dare to sneer or laugh
at me. Some men may laugh at me, but
not man who is under as great an OBJ
legation to me as you are"
This speech was delivered by knight
in drastic tones and created sensation.
Treadwell had every appearance of
being the most surprised man in the
courtroom. He disclaimed all intention
of offering offense to Knight. An un-
conscious smile on his face he said, had
been misconstrued. Knight accepted
this explanation.
Attorney Knight is expected to con-
clude his argument tomorrow morning.
Attorney Treadwell will reply for the
proponents of the will and is to be fol-
lowed by Attorney Campbell. The clos
ing argument will be made by Attorney
Heggerty for the contestants.
During the noon recess today Mrs
Belle Curtis, one of the proponents of the
WILL tainted just outside the courtroom.
1t was stated that she had been over
come by the heat in the room rather than
by anything which occurred during the
course of Attorney Knight 8 argument.
