POPULISM AND FUSION.

1t has been published throughr
out the State-and is a fact, that
under Republican-Populis fusion
negroes revel in Office in Whining
ton, Newborn, Greenville, and all
through Eastern North Carolina.
They fill the Office of Justice of the
Peace, Coroner, Deputy Sheriff,
Register of Deeds, school commit
teemen, road overseer, police
man,-in fact, it would be tedious
and fullsome to enumerate, as it is
revolving to contemplate, the man.
fold positions to which they have
been elevated by fusion in North
Carolina. And yet when you con-
front ofice-holding and ofice-seeko
ing Populists with the outrageous
consequences Of negroes in office,
such as the recent villanious edi-
torial of the negro paper in Viii,
mington, they dare to say that
Democrats are the instigators and
promoters Ct these outrages: DR..
Cy. Thompson, the RepoPop fus-
ion Secretary of State attempts to
stand from under the odium by
advancing this charge, and Senator
Marion Butler in his notorious
Rocky Mount speech attempted
the same thing. They are meaner
more contemplate than the vile
wretches they attempt to thus ex-
cuse. And the wonder is that white
men stand by and listen to them
with complacency.
Democrats the instigators, in
deed!
Are Democrats responsible for
all these negroes reveling in Office,
sitting in judgment upon the rights
and differences of white men;
clothed with authority of law to
arrest, imprison, try and sentence
white men; clothed with authority
of law to .sboss'' white men in
working the public roads; clothed
with authority of law to examine
white teachers for white schools,
clothed with authority Of law to
summon a jury of negroes, as cor
oner, and hold a post norton in
the homes of white people; clothed
with authority of law-but why
draw out the sickening listi
No, Democracy is not respon-
sible for all this in North Caro-
lima: Democracy has ever stood
for white supremacy and will for
ever maintain it. Marion Butler,
Cy Thompson and their ilk of
oHce-seeking Populists who
fused with Republicans for a
price are alone responsible for
the negro domination that dis
graces North Carolina at this
time.
Every deputy sheriff in Craver
county is a negro, and the other
day one of these negro deputies
passed through this city with a
demented white man in charge
carrying him to the insane asy.
lum at Raleigh. It was a sac
spectacle for white men to cons
template, and if.the sheriff Of
Craven county had the decency
of a dog he would have appointed
a special deputy" as he has au.
thority to do, and would have
selected a white man to carry the
poor, demented white man to the
asylum. Every day witnesse:
some such shocking consequence
of Republican-Popullst fusion il
North Carolina.
God speed the day of her de-
liverance. n

unequivocal terms. White would
not vote for the resolutions and
would not vote to assert that
which the law and the bond both
declared to be true. He is ever
ready to vote to impose taxes on
the people, when he knows they
have got no gold to pay taxes
with. Who wants such a man to
represent them in Congress?
Does any respectable tax-pay-
ing white man want to pay the
bondsholders in better money
than he has to use himself? I
think not, and yet White says
he must. thought that the hon.

people wanted an honest, decent
and respectable man to represent
their interests in Congress-, and
not an unprincipled, staggering

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE, MONDAY, JAN. -
CRISIS AT FORT YUKON.


That the food situation Is critical in
the Yukon basin no doubt whatever re-
mains The adyices from Fort Yukon,
presented with graphic detail in the
Post-Intelligencer yesterday. are start
ling. No information has come out
from that remote outpost since October
30. and grave forebodings as TO what
may have happened since that time are
abundanfly justified Capt. Ray found
that the inadequate stores were threat
ened with seizure by mob. There was
imminent danger Of personal violence
and perhaps bloodshed from the pill
layers. and in the emergency Capt
Ray declared martial law and took pos
session OF the supplies in the name OF
the United States government The pur-
poses OF the mob appear 20 have thus
been defeated, but that they desisted
with reluctance and with ugly and
ominons threats Is fully narrated In the
news reports and in the brave officers
letter to Capt. Healy. at Dawson
There were on hand at Fort Yukon
October 30 less than 600 tons. enough
to feed 1000 people. with due economy
until June /. II is known that at least
1000 went To that post from Dawson
alone. and 1t is more than probable
that the number has been largely aug
mented from Circle City and other
points. That Capt. Ray feels deep con-
Germ over the outlook may be judged
by his letter.
What has happened at Fort Yukon
since October 90? Law and order were
being upheld by two army officers and
twenty-five volunteers. II may we'll be
imagined that the influx of hundreds
of rrovisionless Yukoners since that
time has rendered the so-called robbers
desperate. and Ii is possible that an at
tack has been made on the caches. II
SO. a bloody ARRAY may have resulted.
1t Is a fortunate thing that the clamor
raised by uniformed newspapers
against the Klondlke relief expedition
has not dissuaded the government from
its purpose. We have the authority
of the Canadian government for the
statement that food is needed along the
trails. We have known that there is
shortage at Dawson and that sup
plies must reach that place In March or
April. We now know that below naw-
son. at Fort Yukon and Circle City.
the necessities OF the isolated popula-
ton are severe and pressing. and that
there is just now sore and grievous
need for an adequate military force.
The government must not hesitate.
The relief expedition should hasten its
preparations. II would he both dis
graceful and inhuman IL the nation does
not press on to the succor 90 Capt. Ray
and the unfortunate people dependent
