FOWLER TAKES WATER.
Can't Force Charles Il. Thomas on the
Issues.

Newbern. n. c., Nov. 1.-(Special.) =
John Il. Fowler, fusion candidate for
Congress in this district. was billed for
a speech here tonight. Charles IL.
Thomas. the Democratic candidate, ask
ed for IL division of time, which was
granted. Accordingly, hand bills were
distributed throughout the city announc-
ing that the joint discussion would
come off at 7:30 o'clock. A large crowd
gathered at that hour to hear Thomas
pulyerize Fowler. but they were woefully
disappointed The fusion managers
learned that the crowd was composed
principally of white men. so hastily sent
word to Fowler to get sick. About s
o'clock BOX Mouth Smith announced to
the impatient audience that there would
be no joint debate, inasmuch rs Mr..
Fowler had important business to attend
to and was somewhat sick also. I'M
mediately every decent white man left
the court house, while Box Mouth went
on to deliver a speech TO the negroes.
The sum and substance of the affair was
that Fowler was afraid to meet Thomas.
He knew the fraud and rascality of his
party would be exposed. so declined to
be Inundated. Some time ago when Mr.
Thomas spoke at Clinton. Fowler asked
for Il division Of time and it was cheer
fully granted. But now Fowler realizes
that his is a lost cause, consequently
he declined to defend it and took water

eminence.

Princeton. n. c.. Oct. 31.-(Special.)-
The Democratic candidates spoke here
to-day and all did WE'LL and it would be
no disparagement to any of the others
to say that the speech of Mr.. w. 5.
Stevens would have done credit to, one
of national reputation. l heard several
say it was the best speech they ever
heard. 1t was well-delivered and brs-
tied with points. No synopsis could do
it justice. but / will venture few ex-
tracts: mo man has a right to with
hold his vote. and he has no more right
to use his ballot to the detriment of his
State and people than he has to NAL
treat his wife and family"
1.-THE white man should have as high
regard for his race as the colored man
has for his-they vote solidly together;
SO ought we"
When men are vested with the same
powers and entitled to the same privi-
leges the majority will rule the minority.
The 100000 negroes will rule the 10000
whites in the Republican party and
nature will not reverse her laws to please
minorities.'
There may have been some excuse a
few years ago for men to go astray, but
having tested the matter to its full ex-
tent it is nothing less than criminal to
again subject the State to such scandals
as have been perpetrated, and he who
now refuses to vote to Democratic
ticket makes himself Il party to the
scandals and corruption that have follow
ed this administration"
Democracy is right, for she has no
he
who forsake her principles for the sake
of office and she has thousands of re-
cruits who come voluntarily under her
banner"
"Our people are brave and chivalric
people: they lay their lives OH the altar

THE TERESA AND THE CYCLONE
1t Will Hardly Catch Her, According to
Naval Officers Calculations.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Navy De-
partment is under no apprehension as
to the safety of the Maria Teresa, al
though some fear has been expressed in
the Santiago dispatches that the vessel
along with her consorts, the Vulcan and
Leonidas. has fallen into the sphere OF
West Indian cyclones.
BY this time, according to the calcula-
tons of the naval officers, she should
be well on toward the Bahamas. keeping
to the eastward and away from the
Florida coast Meanwhile, the weather
bureau report to the Navy Department
shows that cyclone is forming to the
southwest and if this prediction is true
the warship would be well away from
the pathway of the cyclone-at least one
thousand miles, according to the calcu-
lations.
The repairs to the Teresa will probably
be done in Norfolk

Lexington. Ky, Nov. Among those
before the War Investigating Commits
sion to-day was Major. William Cogs-
well, surgeon of the Eighth Massachu-
sets who said that when his regiment
reached Chattanooga it was kept in the
freight yards Is hours, and it took them
four hours to be transported to the
Park: that the men went two weeks
without fresh meat; that their health
was impaired. and large number was
taken sick.
DR.. Cogswell attributed the typhoid to
THE water, milk and lemonade drunk by
the men. He said that the clothing
and blankets belonging to men who uied
of typhoid fever were brought back
without having been washed or boiled
and used by other men OF the regiment.
He mentioned other abuses too degraded
to write, which he said were reported to
the higher authorities without action be-
ing taken.

and a half when he was at Camp Thomas

One of the botanical oddities of Massa.
chusetts is tho existence of the English
broom, which grows in only two places
in Sterling. this county, and in Sa-
lem. It is lot q native plant, and how
it got across the water is Il mystery.
Perhaps some homesick c~olonist caused
1t to be sent to him, that the hills about
his new home might have the familiar
appearance Of the old country. 1t is a
beautiful golden yellow in color and
grows in a compact, spirelike plant,
with blossoms close together. So thick
are the stalks that the pastures are like
sheets Of gold, and Mt first sight seem
to be buttercups in masses. Arba Pierce
brought some of 1t into the city and
proposes to make a display of it at the
exhibition of the horticultural society.

To such q pitch Of evaporation did
the practice of using buttons in the
shirt drive the men of the middle ages
that they adopted the plan of wearing
brass or steel armor, fastened together
with metallic bolts. The popular idea
that men wore armor in order to fight
In it is manifestly absurd, since no man
could possibly have fought when in
cased in half a hundredweight of metal.
Armor was worn solely in order to
avoid tic worry of shirts with missing
buttons.
There were distinct advantages con-
nected with the chain steel shirts.
When Il of these garments came home
OH Saturday night from the washer
woman, the owner could feel reasona-
bly, certain that the metallic clasps at
the neck and in the bosom were all in
their proper places, for no washerwom-
an could have succeeded in d%etaching
them without the use of n cold chisel.
If it did so happen that the washerwom-
ans husband had been run over by 4
steam roller while wearing a steel shirt
belonging to one of his wife's custom
ers, and II of the metallic fastenings
had thereby been injured, the customer
in question could not accuse his wife
of negligence and demand to know why
she failed to keep his shirts i'll proper

The highest income received durins
any n year by the state land board
of which Governor Osborne was presi.
dent. was about s12,97C. But the in
come OF the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment Of Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897. the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing OF public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to s36, 9S2.S9. In
addition to this. the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, 341. ITO acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue Of s17,0sS. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
OF Wyoming the annual expenses of
the county government to the tax pay
ers Of Wyoming amounted % the vast
sum Of 1870, 909.51 AS a result Of wise
legislation and q republican governor,
and as a result Of the thorough and
painstaking work OF the present state
examiner, and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state, although the NUMBER of counties
has been increased. the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, 09S.99. or a saving Of over
$4,000 per annum to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be COL
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws of this state and from
Insurance companies whereby the
annual income Of the state has been
Increased over a year Of the Osborne
administration from $4,000 to the sum
OF $4,000. These are but instances of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and aminis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John E.
Osborne. Wyoming'si representative in
congress, for neglect of duty in leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house of representatives
on the adoption of the declaration of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulflls its pledges and
always adl,eres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number. we fear no criticism, but SUBJ
NIT our record to the most s%crutinizing
Investigation.
