The above conveys an intimation
of the disintegration of the party,
but the language is mild compared
with some other portions of the
editorial. He charges Butler with
more political sins than he will ever
be able to answer for-at least to
Watson. Among other things, he
says:
eff ever the Peoples party becomes
once more a moral power, inspiring
the masses with hope and leading
them onward to remedial legislation,
Butlerism and fusion will have to be
buried beyond resurrection. No
patty can survive on the hessian pro
gramme of selling troops first to one
and then to the other. No decent
voter will tolerate such policy In
the party leaders and Office seekers

The SENTINEL long ago took the
position that the war upon the State
University was unfortunate and to
be regretted and that the field in
North Carolina was broad enough
for the best efforts of all our schools
and colleges, tremendously directed.
We think SO yet and we think
that speeches tinctured with preju-
dice and bitterness towards the
University and other State institu-
tions tend to damage the colleges
represented by those who so unwisely
give expression to such sentiments.
We are friendly to all forms of
properly directed educational effort
in our State, whether it be designated
as higher education, lower education,
public education, private education,
UNCONVENTIONAL education, or what
not, and if we sometimes appear to
be partial to public educa ton it is
because we realize that this is the
hope of vast majority of the chill
dren of North Carolina, who of ne
cessity must acquire educational ad-
vantages through this channel or go
without these advantages.
The University stands at the head
of the States educational system
and those who have been making war
upon it should be able to discern
from recent experience that it is too
strongly imbedded in the affections
of the people to be overthrow SO
long as it is as wisely and as efficient
ly guided as at present.
There is a grand work for all our
colleges. Let all jealousies and dis
sensions cease and let there be ear
nest, harmonious cooperation to-
wards spreading the great boon OF
education among our people.

was very we'll understood during the

any idea that the Republicans could,

question and settle it in a satisfacto-

one of the first acts of that party
upon it's return to power would be to
pass just such tariff bill as is now
pending in Congress.
The Democratic party is the only

the only party competent to defend
the people from their despoilers This
being true-and it cannot be success
fully denied-how can any voter call

We believe that it would be better to
