TOM WATSON AFTER BUTLER.
"None But Butlerite Would Sell Out
for $25.'

"None But Butlerite Would Sell Out
for $25"
Butler has begun his campaign in
North Carolina and Tom Watson has
commenced his in Georgia.
They are both trying to line up the
Populists for the next State campaigns.
But of them, in signed editorials in
their papers, say that their party is in
good trim and that the rank and file
are ''spilin'" for fight
And then to prove it they draw their
swords and begin to hack one another.
That is, Butler devotes to Watson any
time he can spare from his war on OthO
Wilson.
But Watson let's nothing come in be-
tween him and his enmity against the
Sly Fox.
Though first attention in the last issue
Of his paper is given to the local situa-
ton, Mr.. Watson does not forget his pet
aversion, Butler. He takes up the Ohio
bribery exposures and charges the in
fanny to what he styles "Butlerism." He
says it makes the situation ''smelly."
His treatment of this incident is in Ian
guage peculiarly Watsonian. He says:
"In Ohio, two of the Butterflies went
to Mark Hanna's manager, got some of
his money, then made an cutlery, and
claimed that Hanna was buying up the
Middle-of- the-Road Pops. They hoped
to stampede the Populist convention into
the support of that apostle of love and
purity, John r. Mclean. The scheme
failed. An investigating committee sift-
od tho whole huSnasS-thrnyy ont n n ra o.
net and seined the pool calmly and judi
ciously-and the only fish they could
catch were those two Butterflies.
Having no use for any such fish, the
Pops contemptuously flung them back
into the water.
"None but a Butlerite would have sold
out for $25 They have ruined the price
by selling too often and too many. Con-
sidering the way they have glutted the
market it's a wonder that they can even
get $25.
SIN Virginia, for instance, the Butler
ties couldn't get any offer at all. No
body wanted to buy them.
"To Hessianize at $25 a Hessian, is
bad enough, but what shall we say OF
the Butler policy when it so democrat
ICES the market that nobody will start
the bidding?
"T'he Virginia Butterflies who wanted
to Hessianize and couldn't, ought to go
home and fumigate.
"They make the situation smelly.
party names are going to have less
weight in 1898 than in 1896. Economic
questions are at the front, and are going
to stay there"

it is said that they are afraid to inform

head, cut her throat, while she pleaded
for mercy. The poor creature was his
mistress. Governor Carr offered 500,

Supt. Mebane Warns School Committee
men Against SquanderiRg Funds
The Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton yesterday sent out to the County
Supervisors of public schools in the State
a circular letter calling their attention
and that of the County Board of Edu-
cation to section 1855 of the School Law
of 1897. A very important part of this
section is as follows:
mo order given by School commit
tee of any district township for maps,
charts, globes, or other school apparatus,
shall be valid unless the same be indoors
ed by the chairman of the Board of Com
missioners (Which now means Chairman
County Board of Education) and approx
ed by the County Board of Education"
After quoting this section the superin-
tendent goes ON to say:
II call upon you in the name Of the
children of your county to put stop to
the squandering of the school fund, il
lit has been done in your county. Beware
of vouchers that are presented to you for
school supplies. These words, school
supplies on some of these vouchers
have seen,- simply mean $3.50 for
school chart.
| Now, can you expect for people to be
willing to pay taxes to support public
schools when the money is squandered
this way?
'If / lived in a county where I had
to pay taxes to be wasted in this way,
when an election came to vote ON school
taxes, / would take the stump and can
vass the county against schools, until
we could find men that had sense enough
to know how to spend the money"
