THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND CORPORA
TONS.

The popnlist papers, seeing that more
than half the Populists in the State
voted the Democratic ticket at the last
election and most Of the others are on
their way to the party of 1.-THE white
man and the white metal. have no cry
left now except to say that the Demo-
cratic victory is victory for the corpo-
rations and that the political managers
Of political corporations will shape
Democratic legislation. They hope to get
a hearing by this false charge upon the
party that alone can be trusted to do
justice alike to corporations and the peo-
pie. After their two Legislatures that
were dominated by corpora ton tools and
that elected United States Senator by
bribery. il. does not lie in the mouths Of
the apologists for the last gangs TO
criticise men OF honor and character
The victory in North Carolina is the
victory of all the people in North Caro-
linn. and as much the victory Of all cor
norations not trying TO control legisla-
tion, as of the humble farmer in his cabin.
The Democratic party viii protect the
rich and the poor alike. 1t will tax them
alike. 1t will know nothing but justice.
The man or corporation with n million
dollar investment will be made to feel
that he is safe from harassment and ro-
litical persecution. They viii see that

ADJUSTMENTS.

In The Hoosier Doctor" the author
OF Alabama" has not disappointed the
theatrical public; likewise. Digbv Bell,
an old favorite comic opera star, IS not
disappointing In the %clean-cut comedy
role he assumes in Mr.. Thomas play.
This was the attraction at the Opera
House last evening and q crowded hiuse
greeted Mr.. Bell and company. The
enthusiasm was pronounced, and ut
the conclusion of the second act the
star was given a curtain call. The char
acter OF DR.. Willow is an unusual pne,
like nothing else in the modern drama.
This easy-go!ng, true-hearted Hoosier
a. n enlists the synpatlI.es OF all.
It is needless to say Mr.. Bell did full
justice to the part. Laura Joyce Bell
as Grandma" assumed q difficult
characte: and acquitted herself with
marked success. Here is an old woman
who has been sou-ed by LIES weary
battles, but her heart can be touched rs
easily as a child.s when appealed to-.
The others OF the cas- were excellent
without, exception. Miss Owens Harriet
was particularly pleasing. AS the de-
spicable Higgins. Mr.. Monroe, is de-
serving OF mention. When the curtain
came down at the close of the last act
there was just q little applause; most
OF the audience paid the higher compli-
ment OF. O silence brought about by the
effective climax, which may be COM
pared with that in Shore Acres"
