Bismarck Travels In State Wherever His
Mistress Goes.

Mistress Goes.
A woman walked into the breakfast
room of one of Chicago's swell hotels,
dressed in travelling costume and carry
ing on her arm cape of plaid cloth,
which she hung over the chair next at
table, disposing Of it with some care, as
if it might be Of value.
Then she gave her attention to the
menu and discussed a service Of fruit
while she waited for her order. She was
reused from pleasing study Of her plate
by a series Of "Ohsw and "Ahs!" and
"What a darling!' and hasty glance
showed her big white Angora cat seat
ed gracefully on the vacant chair at her
side
"Oh, Bismarck, you dreadful catr'
she said, as the head waiter approached
with look in his eye that BODIED no
good to the cat.
81 mus put him out, madam, " he
said, with the assurance that goes with
head walters.
But his mistress clicked her fingers
and the cat disappeared. Every eye was
upon him, yet no one saw him 90. The
waiter looked on the chair and under it,
but pussy had vanished like a dream.
Find the cat-he is in the picture
somewhere, " remarked the owner Of the
pet, as she buttered her toast But the
cat did not come back, and it was not
until the woman had finished her break
fast and was leaving the table, with
her travelling cape thrown over her arm,
that the mystery of the animals disap-
pearance was explained, and pussy's
head was allowed to peep from a ca
pacious inside pocket in that cape.
He has travelled in that pocket from
the Pacific coast, and this is the first
time he has given away his hiding
place, " said his mistress. ''He Will not
pur for fear Of being found, but he Is
near his journeys end now and is get
ting tired This cape is his exclusive
property, and the pocket is his private
car. Chicago Times-Herald.

Mr.. BRYAN ON THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.

There is world OF wisdom IN the
article published elsewhere by William
Jennings Bryan, showing why the money
question is the paramount issue. Within
so short space there has not been pre-
scented so many facts and arguments
why the Democratic party, having put
lis hands to the plough, should not look
back.
Mr.. Bryan is right when he says that
there are many who deserted the party
in 1896, whose return to the party
would bring weakness rather than
strength" and correct also when he
welcomes those who ''are coming back
of their own accord, because they find
themselves in sympathy with our plat
form" The cry of "repudiation" fooled
some Democrats. They are coming back
TO find Il warm welcome, but the return
of the Clevelands, Carlisles, Breckin-
ridges, Bill Bynums and others of that
stamp would be a weight too heavy for
the party to carry.
mo one believes that bimetalhsm will
prove panacea for all political ills, .
says Mr. Bryan. 1t is the entering
wedge. Unless the people can legislate
upon money without foreign dictation,
they are powerless to drive out the
trusts. The success of Mr.. Bryan in
1000 will sound the death-knell to trusts
as well as to goldbugs, and that is why
the trusts poured out their ill-gotten
gains to defeat him in 1896. They shake
in their boots with fear lest brave mar
be put in the White House, who viii
compel the execution of the antitrust
laws which, Cleveland and Mckinley
have not permitted to be enforced.

AP0PULIST's VIEW OF THE SITUATION.

At the meeting of the Populist State
Executive Committee held last August,
Mr. John A. Sims, of Cabarrus, who is
chief clerk i'm the State Auditors office,
threw a bomb in the camp by proposing
a resolution in favor of white supre-
macy.
Today we print Il communication from
Mr.. Sims. in which he embodies letter
written by him to the chairman of the
populist State Executive Committee
last August There are two or three
points in the letter that ought to be
widely known and emphasized. Senator
pritchard, and those so-called Populists
who sneeze when Pritchard takes snuff,
say that cooperation ought to be con-
tinued to prevent the repeal of the cleo
ton law. The following paragraph from
Mr. Sims's letter effectually disposes of
that pretense:
I'm 1892, under the then election
law, we polled for Governor, say A.
600. votes: in 1896. with one Of the
best men of the State for our candi-
data I've polied 1900 votes all told;
fs9 1897. sswe are told that we were
cheated out of 10000 votes, and yet
in 1896. holding an election under
n law Of eOur own framing, we. poll
a0s0ers rent. less votes than in ! 1872.
Mn. at this rate, how much long
er can We exist as q party
There ln.ks Sheen some faint denial that
negroes control white schools, Mr.. Sims
says:
III acann0t9 get the consent. of my
mind to again. even cooperate with
any partypwhese- views are in direct
conflict with my own. and that of
the party to which | belong, on that
which we believe to; be the leading
issue, and more especially when the
partyswffh which we have. heretofore
co-operated in North Carolina, have
abused the confidence that has been
placed in them to some extent at
leatst. especially when they place our
public schools for whites, under ne
gro school commissioners"
Mr.. Sims declares that 1.-THE Popufist
party is white mans party" that 1.-THE
negro is a Republican and will ever be"
and declares his purpose of rectifying
the mistakes he has made, so far as he
can do so. We are persuaded that there
are many Populists who feel as Mr..
Sims does about this matter, and will
refuse this year to again be traded off
TO put certain leaders in office and dis
grace the fair name of the State.
The door is wide open for all men
who believe in ''the white men and the
white metal to drive out the corrupt
and incompetent gang that profane the
civic temple.

AN ABLE AND FAITHFUL OFFICIAL.

Hon. Charles r. AycOck, who retired
yesterday from the position of United
States District Attorney for Eastern
North Carolina, is already one of the
first prosecuting attorneys the State has
produced. He is a learned lawyer, an
eloquent and effective advocate, just
and honest man, ana has made an up
right and faithful public officer. A nat
ural born advocate and defender, he has
shown n versatility that is not common
in becoming equally as successful in
prosecuting as he had established q rep
utatiOn for ability in defending men
charged with wrong-dOing. The party
that places such able and tried men in
office as MrSAycOcN is the party that
deserves TO control the affairs of this
Commonwealth.
