Senator Stewart was one Of the prin-
cipal agencies in persuading the Pop
ulists to nominate Mr.. Bryan; and now
he deliberately knocks the props out
from under hiR; and tells Populists
to abandon the uprincples and go ia
for what theysi can make. II there is
to be no silver question there can q
no Bryan question.
This whole fthing is shocking. 1t
opens vistas into an abyss.
1t tells us what kind of stuff our new
allies are made of.
following has appeared:
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Aug. Ex-senator
Stewart, of Nevada, requests the publica-
ton of a denial of recent interviews with
him on the subject of silver and finance.
He says:
There appears to have been conspi-
racy to misrepresent me and my colleague.
Neither of us have given out the inter-
views reported nor any other interviews
to the free and unlimited coinage Of sill
yer by the United States alone at the ratio
of Is to L.
1t Is very astonishing If reporters
could get up such interviews as the
foregoing without a shadow of foun-
dation. 1t will be noted that the Sena-
tor does not deny that he expressed
the opinions attributed to him, but lie
says he has not given out the inter-
views reported. He may have uttered
such sentiments in private converse
ton, but did not give them out las
interviews" for publication.
This is sad world, my masters.

A GREAT CONFLICT APpRoACHIN

A GREAT CONFLICT APPROACHING.
Sometimes one who looks ON can
form shrewder notion of the game
than the men who are playing it. Read
these items:
LONDON, July 27-The Daily Chronicle
this morning devotes an editorial article to
the dismissal of E. Benjamin Andrews
from the presidency of Brown University,
which action 1t regards the most serious
blow the capital oligarchy has yet struck
at social, economic and intellectual liberty
of America.
The Chronicle says: '"There Is no doubt
that. like Prof. Bemis, who was dismissed
from the University of Chicago, President
Andrews was dismissed because he warned
his countrymen against the growth Of
great mOnOpolies.
ut seems certain that conflict is ap-
preaching that will shake the Union as it
was shaken by the great slavery question
1t looks as though the splendid millionaire
endowmcrts of American universities had
the unworthy motive of the promotion of
the interests of the mOnOpolists. We an
ticipate a great wave of opinion against
the pretensiOns of that monOpOist class as
dangerous to freedom. This movement will
lead to the substitution of public for prt-
vate control and ownership of the big
trusts and monopoies and the substitution
of state for private colleges and universe
ties" 3,;GI
Can anybody doubt the substantial
truth OF thesei tutterances?
1t confirms what we have been
preaching. To-
Only the triumph of the Peoples party
can save this nation from universal
revolution. The fools who are trying
to fasten paper shackles on the limbs
of the American people have no idea
of the unlimited strength of the giants
they are fooling with.

Mr.. Rosing is too bright man not to
Rave observed what, to put it mildly looks
exceedingly like an effort the part of
some of mis- party associates to hedge on
that platform. Under his leadership in this
state we are disposed to think that we will
have no more of the old policy of making
that party tender to Republicanism and
the corporations.
"He will insist on straight Jeffersonism,
So far at least as circumstances will permit
him: and in doing this he will save his
party from falling again into the morass
in which it struggled for so many weary
years. Mugwumpery In the North and
slave holding in the South have been the
curses of the Democracy for two genera
tons.

HCcS, III InlS SCdto, from MChl0ley.
How many of those who read this ar
ticle could hope for such an office,
if fusion gave us victory,-and of those
who hoped how many would be disap-
pointed? The civil service laws have
reduced the patronage to small proper
tons.
And if we united with the Democrats
and won in 1900 would not the Dem
Ocracy absorb us, as the older and larg
er party? And if we united in support
of a Democratic candidate for the pres
idency, who was afraid to mention the
words Peoples Party" in his speeches
during the campaign, what could we
hope from him if he was elected? And
would the scraps Of cat meat that would
be thrown to few of us compensate us
for the dissolution Of our party and
the abandonment Of our principles?
And if we united with the Democrats
and gave them victory and they proved
false to their pledges,-(they killed
seven free-silver bills in congress in
the five years preceding Mr.. Dryan's
nomination), would NOT we be damned
eternally along with them?
1t was fortunate for the Republican
party that the Wing party died just as
the new organization was born. Ina

beyond 1856, and resolving against
slavery, while a: The same time its
councils were filed with Shareholders!

end of March and were considerably
injured by frOsts. Though the farmers
are still behind, a week or two of fair
weather will enable them to catch up.
The weather conditions for the week
ending yesterday have not been faV-
orable. The temperature fell to the
freezing point March Doth and April
End as far east as Raleigh, with cOnsid-
cradle injury to peaches. plums and
pears, though apples escaped.

aged the fruit trees, strawberries and

IRENE southern and eastern portions.
Gardens are generally backward.
Planting is progressing rapidly, while
some early planted corn on dry up
lands is coming UP well. Rye and
wheat are looking well and oats have
been planted. Tobacco plants are grow
ing nicely and are numerous. High
water has delayed blowing in the river
fields and put that work behind about
two weeks. Much work has been done
on truck farms and big crops planted.
