CASTLE, of California, goes for the
Dingley tariff bill with gloves off.
He says the proper title should be:
ssTo Foster Trusts and to Pauperize
and Peonize the Agricultural Labor
ers of the United States" The
primary object of the bill, he said,
was neither to raise revenue nor to
encourage the industries of the
United States, but was designed by
It's authors for the express purpose
of enabling the powerful trusts to
stand up the people of the country
and to legally rob them. 1--WE are
today, Mr.. Castle said, Sin the
transitional stage, passing from q
Republican into the most odious
form of government known in his-
tory--a monied oligarchy. Rome, in
her decline had her Cataline; America
has her Hanna. =

DECEIVED AGAIN.

Sometime ago, THE SENTINEL sug-
gested that the Superintendency OF
the Eastern Insane Asylum was too
rich a plum for the fusion crowd to
permit to fall into the lap of a
colored man. And sure enough they
have gone and elected white man
to the position.
That the wool has been pulled over
the eyes of the colored people is evil
dent from the following brief history
of preceding events, as outlined by
the Tribune, the Republican daily, at
Raleigh:
"When the insane asylum bill was
pending in the Senate, it was opposed
by Senator Person upon the ground
that there was no provision in it for
the recognition of the colored people
in the management of the asylum for
the colored insane at Goldsboro
He succeeded in delaying action on
the bill and came very near defeating
it on second reading. On third read
ing he withdrew his objections, say
ing in effect, if not in express terms,
that he had an understanding with
the Governor to the effect that
colored men would receive recogni-
ton. The point that Senator Per-
son and other leading colored men
were contending for was that a
colored physician should be elected
superintendent They claimed that
they had a man who was competent
to fill the position"
All the honor that the colored PEG
pie have gathered SO far consists OF
the fact that colored physician was
placed in nomination for Superin-
tendent. 1t is evident that there
was no intention to elect him, not
thstanding all the expectations
raised by the fusionists.
The record of the first meeting OF
the new Board OF Directors evinces
very clearly that it was not the pur'
pose of those having the matter in
charge to carry out any limitations
or pledges that a colored man should
be chosen as head of the institution
The fact was revealed that on the
Board were pie counter scramblers,
not less than two of the members
being anxious to carry off the prize.
Failing in this, they then refused to
give the colored brother the recogni-
ton which he fondly sought and had
been led to expect.
The result is not surprising to
those who have watched the maneu-
vres OF the spoils hunters. 1t is not
the first time that the negroes have
been deceived by their professe1
friends. 1t would seem that Slmbo
would get his eyes open after while
and be able to see that the q. O. p.
has no use for him, save as a newer
of wood and drawer of water. The
probabilities are, however, that he
will continue to kiss the hand that
smites him and in the future, as in
the past, prove suppliant tool in
the hands OF his white masters.

a very questionable manner, to say

throne of his own, and ignore, turn

dent in politics, is freak that has
no parallel in political history.
All these men, except Newborn, are
from Wake county. Even the State
of North Carolina was ignored But
what does he care? He has time and
again asserted that he was Governor
and he would do as he ID
pleased, and that is just what he is
| doing to the extent of his power
But it may please the Republicans
to do that some time in the future
that may remind the Governor that
there are not only Republicans in the
State of North Carolina, but that

How the RAIDS are kicking against
the civil service law that is keeping
so many of them out in the cold !
Already bill has been introduced in
the Senate to abolish it, and another
to modify it. This writer has never
favored non partisan civil service
law. 1t is all right to know that a
person is qualified for the position to
which he aspires, but, as a rule, the
selections should be made from COM
petent persons belonging to the
dominant party. 1t is amusing,
however, to note the hypocrisy that
some Republicans have been prae-
ticing in reference to the matter. We
mean those fellows who lauded the
service to the skies so long as it
served to shield Republicans while
the Democrats were in power, but
who can't see anything commendable
in it when it acts SO as to retain
Democrats now that the Republicans
are managing affairs. 1t makes a
lot of difference whose OK is gored.

OLATHE, Kan, July IA disastrous
head-end collision occurred on teh
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe at 1928
yesterday afternoon, between fast
freight No. 20, east-bound and local
freight No. %, west bound. The wreck
occurred on a sharp curve one mile
east of Edgerton, small station If
teen miles west of here and thirty-nine
miles from Kansas City. Both trains
were going at full speed. The loco
motives and seventeen cars were COM
pletely demolished.
The dead: Joseph Adams, a tramp,
killed instantly.
The injured: Engineer McCauley of
the fast freight, badly scalded; lives
at Argentine; taken to the Ottawa
hospital.
Engineer Ed Welch of the local
freight, severely cut and bruised: lives
at Argentine; taken to the Ottawa
hospital.
Unknown tramp, badly cut and
bruised: may not recover.
Brakeman Mincll, injured internally,
lives at Leavenworth
Conductor Failor, slightly bruised;
lives at Argentine.
Conductor Negabar slightly bruised;
lives at Argentine
Neither engineer saw the other train
until too close to avoid the collision.
Both flremen jumped, but the engi-
neers stayed bravely to their posts of
duty, setting the air brakes and re-
versing the engines. They jumped at
the last moment and had miraculous
escapes.
In addition to the list of dead and
injured an unknown stockman, who
was on the train prior to the wreck, is
missing, and fears are entertained
that he may be buried under the de-
bris.
