SCANDAL MONGERs.

Once or twice during the past two
years, attention has been directed to
the fact that the Legislature Of 1895
have found it necessary, in the inter-
est OF the State, tn officially declare
the Democratic press OF North Caro-
lima to be collective calumniator and
LIAR. The fact was quite we'll known
to the people living within State lines,
and therefore the action was taken to
simply advise people living in other
States who might happen to read that
press that it was false, fraudulent and
malicious in it's course.
This action of the Legislature was
amply justified at the time (lS95) and
since that time this same Democratic
press has pursued such a course as
can only give emphasis to what the
Legislature declared. There was some
hope and some little expectation that
the election of 1896, by which
the followers of this mass of
dirty documents called the Democrat
ic press were defeated by forty thou
sand majority, would indicate to them
the necessity of trying to act with
some decency and sense. The "indi-
cation" was emphatic enough, but it
failed because of an absolute absence of
capacity on the part of the Democratic
sheets to understand what is meant by
decency and sense. If possible, they
have grown more false and filthy than
ever. The only apparent effort made
by them is to lie about something or to
try to distort into rascalitv and crime
a simple occurrence which might hap
pen at any time with anybody. An in:
stance of their effort to lie about some
body can be easily settled in the incl
dent of Senator Buffers Rocky Mount
speech. The charge Matched up and
started at that point has been denoun-
ced as untrue and malicious by more
men of character than could be found
in the State to testify to any decency
shown by the Democratic press.
Another instance of an ATTEMPTED
lie and most malevOlent and villain.
GUS distortion of facts is printed
on the first page of this Issue. The
champion scandal monger and filth
spewer led off as usual, and made 8
great fanfaronade over nothing. II
was an attempt to besmirch and stair
the character of a man whose officis
books showed little error which wa!
not of personal advantage to himself
The sum of $500 IN faror of the public
fund was magnitied into discrepenc!
of five hundred dollars against tina
fund.
Read this parallel reports in the
central columns of the first page, and
then decide for yourself as to whether
there is bigger liar extant that tn
slanderous and rascally sheet that pu
out the report. This kind of thing i
going on all the time in the dirty Dem
ocratic press, and from the nature o
that gang it will continue to go on.

Silver Republicans to Unite.
CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-W. J. Bryan, in
concluding a speech before the Bryan
League at the fremont House during
a banquet held after the Auditorium
meeting early this morning, made
some remarks which are interpreted as
showing his intentions il he is nOmi-
mated for the Presidency in 1900. In
speaking of the next Presidential cleo
tion, Mr.. Bryan said:
ut may be we will be strong enough
to win without any outside help. But
neverthe less 1 prefer to win with the
Populists on one side and the free sill
yer Republicans on the other. And we
must not forget when the victory is
won that in the campaign of last year
it took more courage on the part of
the free silver Republicans to desert
their old party and more self-sacrifice
on the part Of the Populists to 60 out
side of their organization for Presi-
Dental candidate, because he agreed
with them on the paramount issue than
it did for the Democrats to support the
ticket which was nominated by their
own national convention"

National Committeeman Wilcox, of
New Jersey, on the so-called middle
of-the.roaders' convention, to be held
on the 18th inst. at st. Louis, appears
on the front page of this issue. Mr..
Wilcox, like the great majority of the
and the Peoples Party does not see
either wisdom or policy in the move
ment, but on the contrary thinks it is
only gotten up by few disgruntled
members to create discord and to help
further selfish ambition, if not directly
in the pay of the corporatlonists.

ers OF blIiets to promise not to sell to wire
manufacturers who may possibly start

trust will promise to take billets from
all these manufacturers as it may need
them. The object of all this is to keep
the billet makers in good humor and pre-

Closing of the Doors of a National
Bank I'm Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 25.-The Chest
nut Street National Bank has closed its
doors, and is in the hands of the national
bank examiner. Comptroller Of the Cur
rency Eckels said in regard to the fail
ure of the Chestnut Street National
Bank, Philadelphia, that the suspension
was primarily due to shrinkage in the
value of the bonds and notes of the Sin
gerly Pulp and Paper Mills, located at
Elkton, Maryland. The capital of the
bank was 100000, the deposits agqre-
gate about $l,75O,0O0, and its surplus is
baout $4,000. Mr.. Eckels said there was
not the least suspicion of wrongdoing on
the part of the bank, and he still had
strong hopes of arranging for voluntary
liquidation of the banks affairs without
expense incident to the appointment of a
receiver.
