ners Who Lead the Cheap
Money Forces.


Under the leadership OF men like
Bailey and Jones, a portion of the dem
ocratic party is blindly opposing ex-
pansion, simply because the majority
Of republicans support it, With the
patriotic assistance of those clear
headed democratic statesmen and
newspapers that deplore the folly Of
making the democracy a mere buffer
against progress, the republican party
is preparing to add to the power and
wealth OF the United States; but the
Baileys and the Joneses would make OF
the democracy mere futile opposition.
They can only speak about the con-
stitution while the country moves on
and leaves them TO howl in the Dismal
swamp of their own vain inragna-
| lions.
| IL the majority of the so-called demo-
cratic leaders of to-day had been ami
mated by genuine democratic senti-
ments. they would never have opposed
annexation. They have forgotten what
democracy is They can rant about
plutocracy and jump into the empyrean
after sixteen to one dollar. They can
preach populism and socialism. They
can incite section against section and
stir up one form OF wealth against an
other. They can spout 10 the verge of
apopleXy about trusts and corpora
tons. They know buncombe thorough
~, but they don't know the United
States.
When the hope and abition Of the
United States were turned by Dewey's
victory to the Philippines and the de-
velopment of American commerce in
the Pacific, the Baileys and the Joncses
con inued 90 kick their heels against
the flour barrels in the groceries of
Buncombe and to chant the blessedness
of free silver and the total depravity OF
rcpublicanism. The awakening Of the
American people TO new and great
career produced no effect upon these
spinning Gervishes of Buncombe. They
spin and spout as before. They never
try to find out what the country
wants. They find out what the repub-
lean party wants, and are happy in
opposing it.
The case of Hon. Alexander Monroe
DCckery, democratic representative
in congress from Missouri, is typical.
His state Of mind, or want OF mind, is
exactly that Of all the small-bore demo-
Gratis. The details of his case are given
in the Washington correspondence OF
the St. Louis Globe7Democrat:
II tell YOU said Mr.. Dockery. the sober
thinking people OF this country are against

turned them back to Spaln?' was asked
oh. Lord, no! We couldn't have done that:

by the general assembly was warm and

was punctuated with frequent out.
bursts of cheering. 1t Is admitted on
all sides that the address marked an
epoch in history and it is on every lip.
Upon the presidents arrival at the
capitol he was greeted with field
artillery salute and was at cnce es-
corted to Gov. Gamblers office. There
was a short informal reception there.
Upon its conclusion the president, fol-
lowed by members of the cabinet. was
conducted to the assembly chamber
where he occupied the speakers chair
with Gov. Gambler on his right.
The speaker raped for silence and
introduced the president to the audi
ence after congratulating the state of
Georgia upon the presence of Their
distinguished guest. AS the president
rose the audience applauded. During
the course of his speech Mr.. Mckinley
referred often to his notes and cor

arbitrament Of arms-and the time has now
come, in the evolution of sentiment end
feeling under the providence of God, when
in the spirit of fraternity we should share
with you in the care of the graves of the
confederate soldiers"
A wild cheer went up from every
throat in the typical southern audi
ence, cheer that echoed and reechoeG
through the chamber until it was taken
up by the crowds outside. Old meE
who fought for the south rose from
their seats and waved their hats. One
confederate veteran, now venerable
legislator, had pressed forward until
he was leaning against the speaker,
desk, hanging on each word the presi-
dent uttered. When reference was
made to the confederate dead this old
man buried his head in his arms, and
while the cheers rang out cried like 4
little child.
OF all the many conciliatory speeches
which have been made since Grant
said LET us have peace" nothing has
more deeply stirred a southern audi
ence than the simple words of Presi
dent Mckinley Wednesday afternoon.
On the second day the president re-
viewed the civic and military parade,
after which he was driven to the Pied
mont Driving club, where an elaborate
luncheon was served.
Friday the president inspected the
normal school at Tushegee, and re-
viewed procession of the pupils. The
appearance of the president called forth
the heartest cheering.

June 2l.-Gen. William P. Craighill and
Col. Forrest Washington Brown, of Charles
Town, Jefferson county, w. Va, who have
been inspecting places of interest in the his
toric county, left Kent county yesterday by
the Weems Line for Baltimore. Saturday
they visited Wakefield, the birthplace of
George Washington, and inspected its mon
ument. In the records of Westmoreland
courehouse there is much entertaining mat
ter and some time was SPENT there. Sunday
they attended service in Old Yeocomico
Church. Much has been written about this
venerable structure. The statement that
George Washington was christened in this
church is unsupported by evidence and is
not generally credited. The church is now
in good repair and is no longer domicile
for squirrels and other animals. In colonial
times the rector is said to have taken excep-
ton to the manner in which one of the con-
glegation received the sermon. After ser
vice the offender was called to account, and
the difficulty was settled with swords in rear
of the church. During the war of 1872 the
Virginia militia were quarteredin the church
1t is said they used the fount for making
punch and finally carried it off.
The tomb of the progenitor of all the Lee
family in Virginia is at Mount Pleasant,
where Gen. Craighill and Col Brown were

inscription on this tomb is still clear and
