NEED BACK BONE.

Senator Butler says he totes free
passes, as an editor, and not as
Senator, as President of the State
Farmers Alliance, as President of
the National Alliance, as chairman
o. the National Executive Committee
of the Peoples Party, hut he thinks
the law should, if it does not, pro-
hibit him from holding passes as an
editor. The Governor, also, abuses
the free pass system and yet receives
and uses passes Both the Senator
and Governor practically admit that
there is something very fascinating
and irresistible bout the proffer of
free railroad passes-that they are
nothing less than charming Sirens
upon the shores of time, whose be-
witching voices and alluring presence
are altogether too much for the
human instincts of the Senator and
the Governor and unless the law
comes to their rescue and binds them
to the mast of the vessel of life or
stops their ears with wax they are
gone suckers. If the Senator and the
| Governor are sincere in their utter
ances relative to free passes they
should order a backbone or two
one might do for both, as they are
knit SO closely together-and try to
produce some sort of harmony be-
tween their opinions and their

In view of next years elections, it
will not be surprising if the do moth
ing policy largely prevails at the next
session of Congress. The Republican
majority will be confronted by the
recent frowns of disapprobation
upon the administration, the farcical
ending of the International bimetal-
lism dodge and a continued deficit
under che Dingley tariff, which was
to produce a surplus for the govern
ment and deluge the people with
prosperity. The majority cannot
afford so soon to go back upon it's
pet schemes and it is difficult to see
how it will succeed in again hood
winking the people along these lines,
so it seems the stand still course is
about the only one it can pursue.
and this will help to add force to the
hurricane that will sweep it from the
deck at the next election.

TIRED OF HANNA.

1t appears now that Hanna is to
experience the truth of the old say
ing that "there's many slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip" People gener-
ally supposed that if Ohio elected a
Republican Legislature the re cleo
ton of Hanna to the United States
Senate would be foregone conclu-
sion. But matters are not turning
out that way.
The Republicans have a small
majority upon joint ballot in the
Legislature, and yet Hanna's re-elec
ton is by no means certain.
Some days ago it was intimated
that there would be coalition between
the Democratic and anti Hanna
Republican members in order to
secure the defeat of the boss. Now
comes the prediction that he will be
cratic votes. This prediction comes
from Charles L. Kurtz, ex chairman
of the Republican State Committee,
who, in an interview With a Washing
ton Post correspondent, says CLAN
ma will have no following that will
make him considered even leading
candidate for the Senatorship. The
returns of the recent election show
that he is not wanted by the party.
The days of Mr.. Hanna's bossim are
over. The people are against him,
and that settles it,"
Further, Mr.. Kurtz says: "No
Democratic vote will be needed. 1t
will be accomplished by the Republi
cans themselves, and it will be done
decently and in order"
All OF this sounds very sanguine
and as much as thousands and
thousands will hope that it will pan
out as predicted, there will be a sort
of suspicion that Hanna and his
barrel will succeed in upsetting this
arrangement.
The talk of Mr.. Krrtz serves to
0AOW hoWOSCA, rs
not lovely in the g. o. p. camp and
that the recent elections have shown
some Republicans that the people
are tired of Hanna's bossism.
While Mr.. Kurtz takes the opposite
view, and says that Mckinley Is
weary of Hanna posing as his
creator, the defeat of Hanna In the
Ohio Legislature would be regarded
as a further rebuke to the present
administration and any show of the
created going back upon the creator
would not wipe out this impression.
The fact is, the people are tired of
Hanna and tired of Mckinley and
his administration, and tired of the
Republican party, with its false
promises and it's trust protection,
and they will continue to rebuke the
whole shooting match until the folly
of last year, in placing the govern
ment in their hands, is wiped out.
The western sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1887-1926, 1897-11-18

REPUBLICAN politicians are very
reluctant to ascribe the great change
in public sentiment, as recorded at
the polls in several States on the I'd
of this month, to a rebuke of the
administration and it's false promises.
They offer explanations which are
conspicuous for the absence of ex
PLANTATION and advance excuses which
are too thin for even such phenomi-
nal weather as we are at present en-
ioying. The lesson of two weeks ago
will be SO enlarged upon next year as
to make a repetition of Republican
false logic more ridiculous-a lesson
SO plain that the wayfaring man,
although as big fool as the editor
of the Union Republican, cannot
mistake it's meaning.

NEXT YEARS FAIR.

As We confidently expected, the
Tobacco Fair Association, at it's
meetingl last week, decided to hold a
Fair again next year. The proceed
ings of the meeting will be found in
our news columns today, but we wish
to remark here that the harmony
and enthusiasm and unanimity
which pervaded the meeting was very
gratifying and an assurance that the
next Fair will be even grander sue
cess than that of this year.
We think the decision to have
erything free-no charge for Leaf
exhibits and no entrance fee-was a
very wise one. This policy prevailed
this year, but, it seems, was not uni
versally understood, and hence, as
large as were the crowds, they were
not so large as they would otherwise
have been. We are told that some
people we're under the impression
that an admission fee to the exhibits
would be charged, that an entrance
fee would be required of leaf exhibit
tors and that the leaf competing fol
premiums would be forfeited to the
use of the Association, all OF which
| of course, was entirely erroneous.
Now let the news be spread thai
Winston will have Fair next year
bigger and grander in every particu'
lar than the Fair OF this year, ant
that there will be absolutely NJ
charge to the exhibition halls, NJ
charge to compete for the tobacco
premiums and that the leaf exhibite,
will be sold for the benefit of tn
owners, without charge, other thai
the usual warehouse fees, as was tn
case this year.
| Another fact that will inspire con-
fidence in the success of next year.
Fair is the reelection of the officer
who so efficiently managed the a.
fairs of the Association this yeal
aud no higher testimony to thei
fidelity could have been paid tina
was paid by their unanimous re-elet
ton.
The SENTINEL appreciates yer
highly the recognition of the service
of the press as an important facto
in the success of the Fair, as evi
denced by the vote of thanks tender
ed by the meeting last week. 1t wi
be our pleasure to co operate mos
heartily with the management in th
purpose to eclipse next year th
magnificent record made by GU
Fair this year.
The action of the Association
determining to hold q Fair next yea
will be quite generally endorsed an
commended by our citizens and "
predict an enlarged and more unive
sal spirit of liberality and co-opers
ton among them.
1t is not too much to say that TT
exhibits next year, in the leaf toba
co, manufacturing and mercanti
departments will be at least twice 6
, large as they were this year an
, likewise, with favorable weather, tt
number of visitors will bear the san
, | proportion and even greater.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

The brewing of the tea upon ones

and the beautiful cut glass tea caddy

improved by this treatment.

well as drying the food; instead
place the plate upon the fire over q

plate with pan that will just fit

will keep hot and there will be enough
steam from the boiling water in the
lower pan to keep the plate moist
and prevent it's contents becoming

IT is said the President is very
much concerned in the fate of his
faithful friend Hanna and insists
that he be saved If possible. We
thought there was a mistake In the
report that Mckinley was Indifferent
to Hanna or that he was anxious for
his defeat. With all his shortcom-
ings, ingratitude does not appear to
figure In the Presidents makeup, as
we have previously had occasion to
remark, and as some of our local
Republicans may have reason to
observe before all the official pie is
dispensed in this section. He has a
special fondness for original McKin-
lev men and there are few such here
They stuck to him, too, in the face of
the defeat of the resolution endors-
ing McKinley's candidacy. The
President may not be able to save
his friend Hanna, but he has the
power to reward the original McKin-
lev leaders in this vicinity and he
may do SO, to che upsetting of the
plans of some others.

REPORTING one of his speeches, the
Rocky Mount Argonaut attributes
this Infamous and slanderous Ian
guage to Senator Butler: ''If colored
men commit oHtrages the Democrats
pretend to be terribly shocked in
public, but when they get behind a
wall they laugh until they grow fat.
and if the outrages are not frequent
enough they hire worthless negroes
to commit them" Can it be possible
that such foul and false utterauces
fell from the lips of the Senator -?
Some of the papers think there is
some mistake in the report of the
speech. What says the Senator =?
If he did not say it he owes it to him
self and to the people of North Caro-
lima to correct the report. If he did
say it he deserves the scorn and con-
tempt of decent people.

MATTERS appear to grow worse for
Hanna's Senatorial aspirations. A
late telegram from Columbus, Ohio,
brings news that is full of discourage
ment to the man who thought he
had cinch upon the coveted prize Of
six years longer sojourn in the
United States Senate. This news is
that the Legislative delegation from
Cuyahoga, Hanna's own county, had
refused to pass a resolution pledging
themselves to Hanna. This is said
to have set political circles in a
whirl. The situation looks blue for
Marcus, it must be admitted, but he
and his trust friends are rich in re
sources and he may yet contrive to
get out of the hole and pull the hole
in after him.
