THE RIGHT SPIRIT.

The Louisville Conrier-Journal has
east in its fortunes again with the Demo-
cratic party 81 Kentucky, and says il in.
tends to remain under the 'old hick
DRY tree" come what may.
In 1892 more than forty thousand men
In North Carolina left the Democratic
party because they were unwilling to
support Mr. Cleveland. On the eighth
OF November, 1898, most OF them came
back into the Democratic party, seeing
that it is the only party which promises
any needed reforms u take the govern
ment out Of the hands OF the trusts.
In 1896 several hundred Democrats
in North Carolina refused to vote the
national Democratic ticket because the
party declared for the free coinage Of
silver. This year they have nearly all
come back into the Democratic party,
and in the Raleigh district they voted
for Mr.. Atwater for Congress TO em-
Ehasize that they intend as the Courier
journal puts ii. 10 remain under the
old hickory tree come what may.
We therefore have in North Carolina

Ting as In 1888 and 1890 for the su-
premacy of the Democratic party. This
il the right spirit, and one which means
harmony and accord among the white
voters Id the State.

Nation can be trusted to do right. 1t

OXFORD ORPHANS NEED HELP.

The superintendent OF the Oxford Or
phan Asylum states that the institution
is in need OF funds. There are now 40
children in the Asylum who must be fed
and clothed aud cared for through the
first rigorous months of winter before
the appropriation of the State will be
available. and in any ease the fund
placed at the disposal of the Asylum
by the State is insufficient fer its needs
and must be helped out by private sub
scription.
1t is only few days now until
Thanksgiving Day, and there could be
no more fitting way for the fortunate to
celebrate the day than by supplying the
needs of the unfortunate. LII should
not he necessary to say more to the
good people of this State than that the
Orphan Asylum needs help-so peculiar
ly is ii Il work of charity that should
come close to the hearts of NIL people.
North Carolina can easily afford TO sup
port the 30 orphans at the Oxford
Asylum. but it can not afford not to.
Some man or woman in every town
ought TO take the matter in hand and
see that a suitable Thanksgiving offering
is sent To Superintendent w. j. Hicks,
ut Oxford.

There may be no significance
attaching to it, but as a phase
of present affairs it is worth
while to note that there is an inordinate
desire to increase the standing army.
a constant seeking of opportunities to
substitute federal for State control in
purely local matters. a contemptuous
disregard of one of the fundamental
tenets of republican government, and
indirect offers of federal troops to gov
ernors who have not asked for them.

Springfield Republican.
Mr.. Tillman. Of South Carolina, attrib-
utes the recent outbreaks against the col
ored race partly. at least, to the recent
lowering of national ideals respecting
popular rights. There has been, he.
says. "a great revolution in sentiment al
the North on this subject, as ID shown
by the annexation Of Hawaii without
any pretense of consulting the wishes or
protecting the interests of the colored
races there. as we'll as 10y the attitude
Of Governor Tanner. OF Illinois, in refus-
inc TO protect the imported negro miners
at Eirden and pana. And why should
not Governor Tanners revolutionary
course. for which he richly deserves
prosecution as a seditious person be
classed also as an effect of this impair
ment of political ideals?

Government Finds it Impractcable to Oc-

Washington, Nov 21.-The war de-
partment has found that it is imprac-
ticable to occupy Cienfuegos before the
first of January, and Maj. Gen. Wilson,
commanding the first corps, which was
designated to occupy Cienfuegos, has
been directed to make such disposition
of the troops that were about to sail
as in his judgment VIII best serve the
interests of the army.
Besides the $4,000 Spanish troops or
iginally at Cienfuegos, it has been
found necessary to send a large mum
Der of troops from Havana on account
of the disturbances and mutinies which
have occurred there. Ths preparations
thus far made do not indicate that tae
United States authorities are in any
great hurry about sending troops to
Cuba. No ships for transports have
been assembled at Savannah, and no
orders have been issued for the quar-
termaster's department to send trans
ports to southern points for the epl-
barkation of troops to Cuba.
