 In the probate court yesterday Hem ry S. Johnson was appointed adminis- trator on the estate of his brother, Harold St. Clair Johnson.

MIR. CAGES SPEECHES

In none of his speeches has Mr.. Gage
discussed any public question, state OF
national, though the people all want tc
hear something about his views on sew.
eral important subjects. Why he has
failed in this respect the public will have
to conjecture. Whether he feels in
competent, or is indisposed to discuss
them, we leave others to Judge.
He has not presented his views on the
railroad question, which SO much agi-
tates the public mind. He has, how.
ever, been prolific in his denials Of the
charge that he is the Southern Pacific
railroad candidate. He has undertaken
no discussion. so far as we have beer
able to discover, on the money question
which is a living and absorbing topic
He has made no suggestion of a plan for
economizing in the public expenditures
no measure which would render the
state government more efficient.
The speeches Of Mr.. Gage are largely
confined to talk about trivial matters
and to airing his imaginary personal
grievances; to defending himself against

at Los Angeles and San Francisco alone
would involve . large outlay. a. It 10
proposed to substitute electricity for
steam.
Now It is easy to comprehend why 1t
might be particularly advantageous to
the Southern Pacific company to have
the state government conveniently un-
der its thumb. There may be certain
special legislation necessary in con-
nection with these projects. It may be
very desirable to have a governor who
would be willing to sign any bill offered
in the company's interest in return for
such favors as the loan Of a first-class
orator, etc.
But, to speak more generally, Mr..
Huntington evidently means to push his
railway interests in this state with
greater vigor than ever before. The
persistent, uphill fight that he made In
favor of a harbor at Santa Monica and
against the location of one at San Pc
dro proves that the foresighted old
financler is eager to expand his interests
in California. Therefore. let ali oppo-
nents Of this menacing monopoly stand
together firmly, not minding the rattle
of small shot nor the din Of the gongs
Pin the Republicans right down to the
railroad issue, and keep them there til
the polls close on election day.

HOLD THEM TO THE ISSUE

The policy of the Republican leaders,
as indicated by the address of Orator
Barnes, is to throw dust into the eyes of
the people, to blind them, if possible. to
the real issue in the campaign. Hence
that rambling outflow, covering about
everything from whrling worlds to
Candidate Cages hair, with the one eX-
ception of the Southern Pacific rail-
road. The purpose clearly is to push
an offensive campaign, to conduct the
canvass on the Chinese war plan, with
much clatter of gongs and tom-toms.
This scheme for distracting attention
from the real, vital issue of the campaign
is cunning, but it won't work. The peo-
pie Of California thoroughly understand
it. The shot fired by Orator Barnes and
Candidate Gage scatter entirely too
much to be effective.
The policy to pursue in behalf of the
union ticket is to hold the Republican
party down to the main issue, to pin
them fast to the fundamental PROPOSE
ton that they are being manipulated by
tne TdllTOdu III It's OWh iitCi
ests. If this were not true, how easy 1t
would be to prove the contrary. But
the fact is so self-evident that the rail-
road managers do not attempt to con-
ceal it, and so they boldly send out their
oiliest talker to say pretty things for
the Republican ticket and to abuse the
other one. There is some special
cause, the people may feel assured, for
the manifest anxiety Of the railway mo-
nopoly for the success of the Republican
party in the next election. This anxiety
can, to some extent, be accounted for.
The railway company, or rather Mr..
Huntington, has lately invested several
million dollars in the purchase of the
chief railway system of Los Angeles.
Further investments Of like character
are said to be now in progress. Again,
the younger Mr.. Huntington. when in
this city few days ago, tntimated that
it is the purpose of the Southern Pacific
to remodel Its entire suburban system

phantom assertions and innuendoes Of
his competitor. The people have little
care for personal matters. and one dis
posed to that kind Of speaking either
does not understand or has forgotten
that one talking about himself may be
glib and eloquent without being inter-
esting.
We are sorry that Mr.. Gage does not
seem to have a higher appreciation Of
the importance and dignity Of his posi-
ton than to be drawn into the discus
sion Of matters Of no public concern
The question is not how good a fellow
he IL, but how we'll Informed and how
much Of a statesman.
We hope Mr.. Gage will take up the
money question and discuss it, not from
the former. but the present standpoint
of his party. We hope he will not for
get that his party has changed on thai
question In the last two years, and thai
the arguments he formerly made would
be inappropriate in the present cam
paign.

HENDERSON'S 1895 MANUAL
OF "Eyerything for the Garden"

The gorgeous greer. crimson
and gold catalogue which the
drm of Peter Henderson & Co.,
seedsmen, of New York City. is
sending out for the season of
1858, is one Of the best pieces of
typographical work that any
press has ever produced. 1t is a
marvel of good taste and beauty.
The colored plates, of which
there are six, are among the best
ever produced, while the half
tone and wood cuts Of flowers
aud vegetables are distinct and
accurate. The catalogue contains
more than 200 pages OF reading
matter, and every paragraph is
devoted to some subject that is
OF vital interest to the amateur,
the farmer. the florist or the pro-
fessional gardener, Of course
everybody knows that the house
of Peter Hendel son is one of the
Oldest, largest and most reliable
seed firms IN America, Until this
year the firm has done large
Jobbing business, selling it's seeds
! through thousands Of retailers
in all parts Of the country. With
| the beginning Of 1898 no more
seeds will be sold through mid
dlemen. The firm will now
deal with its customers direct
and will give buyers the ad-
vantage Of the profits Whit b
have gone to retailers in
years past. This will give the
firm a wider trade and bring ii
into closer relations to its patrons.
The 1898 catalogue, which is by
all odds the finest that has come
to hand this year, is not fer free
distribution, as it costs over sc
cents a copy to produce. The
price of the catalogue is ten cents,
and that amount can be deducted
from the first order. 1t can be
had from Peter Henderson >& Co,
New York City.

Spain Went Sell Cuba.

London, Feb, 25.-A special
despatch to the Standard from
Madrid says that the correspon-
dent of that paper has been
gathering the opinions Of states
men on the suggestion that Spain
should sell Cuba to the United
States.
The correspondent says he
found all parties, including the
Republicans and others who op-
pose the Government, amazed
and indignant at the suggestion,
which, it is held, would expose
the monarchy and Government
to an irresistible popular move
ment, supported by the army
and navy, resisting the idea of
surrendering Spanish rights in
the island.
Financiers make the practical
objection that, in view of the fact
that the Cuban debt, which
already exceeds $500,000, GOO. is
almost entirely held by Span
iards, who in addition have a vast
amount Of capital engaged in the
West Indies, the price suggested
would not satisfy half the Gems
pensation required.
None Of the Ministers would
entertain the suggestion.

DECLARES FOR WAR.
Russell Sage Says it is No Ques,
tiOn as to Where the Rich
Man Stands.

Man Stands.
New York. Feb. 26 Russell
Sage gave out the following aus
thorized interview tosdsy: From
all the information received, there
is little doubt in my mind that
our warship was blown up by
outside agencies, and if the naval
commission so reports, the time
for action has come. There hould
be no wavering. This govern
ment must demand The fullest re-
paration. and that without delay.
Whatever action. war or other-
wise, President Mckinley may
take. he should and will have the
fullest support from both rich
and poor, Republicans aud Dem>
ocrats. There is no question as to
where the rich man stands. In
the civil war. when it broke out,
I bought government bonds, AMI
1 did the same in 1864 So did
other rich men. We had conf
dence in cur government. II the
necessity arises now [ will do the
same again generously; so will
other rich men | know of, L am
an American, first and last, and
propose to stand by the flag.
"Party lines will be dropped.
AS for the stock market that has
got to take care of itself for the
present. The ticker is now a
secondary consideration. The
honor of government comes first.
I speak not only my own views
on this poin+, but those Of other
monied men with whom I have
talked. Another thing: the fami-
lies and dependents of every
sailor killed in the Maine must
be taken care of. That is a bill
Spain must be made to settle. If
the citizens of this country enlist
to defend our flag and all that it
means, we are in duty bound to
see that their families are pros
vided for if they are killed.
with that understood by the
people there will be no lack OF
soldiers or sailors when the need
arises. L think the President has
been wisely cautious in this mat>
ter, but am confident that now
he will act promptly in the Maine
% natter."

Why.
Atlanta. Ga.


Charlotte Observer.
Weekly, for months past, Web
ster's Weekly, of Reidsville, has
read the Observer and it's editor
out of the Democratic party, and
this week, commenting upon our
declaration of week ago that we
do not propose to march under
Mr.. Marion Buffers banner, it
says:
The Democrat who is too good
to march where Mr.. Bryan and
the chairman of the national Dem
ocratic executive committee and
the Congressional committe do is
too good to stay in the Demo
cratic party and ought to seek
more select company.
This is substantially what the
same paper has been saying over
and over to the Observer. The
editor of Webster's Weekly is
Mr.. John r. Webster. in 1886
he was an independent candidate
for the Legislature in Rockingham
county and was elected by the
votes OF Independents and Repub-
licans. We had much sympathy
with him under the circumstances
aud were glad he was elected. But
he went to Raleigh and instead of
going into the House Democratic
caucus stayed out of it and was
elected Speaker by combination
Of independents and Republicans,
over Lee S. Overman, Esq, of
Rowan, the Democratic caucus
nominee, every Republican voting
for him. When the election of
officers of the House came on he
voted for Geo. M. Bulla, Repub~
lican, of Davidson, for clerk, and
his vote elected him over the gen.
tie and learned John D. Cameron,
Q emocrat, who had been the capa.,
lie clerk of the House for years.
Along about the same time he was
writing ponderous editorials in
favor of a protective tariff, and for
a long period before and after the
events above referred to nobody
could tell, by reading his paper,
what party he belonged to, if
any.
Now this same Mr.. Webster
has constituted himself the Judge
of the Democracy of other men
and is standing at the door of the
party, taking them in and throw
ing them out according as his
sweet fancy suggests. When it
comes to be recognized by public
Iopinion as in good form for a
tstreet drab who has reformed
| to go around levturing on virtue
! to women who have never gone
I.astray, and debating to whom So
ciety's doors shall be opened and
to whom closed, then it will be
| time for reformed boilers and as
| suciates of Republicans TO assume
the right to read out of the Dem
ocratic party men who have
| never yet voted for Republican
nor failed to vote for, every Demo
crat who Was in sight on election
day. Meantime, we decline to
take any political orders from
Mr.. John r. Webster.
