The fusion idea Is growing weaker
daily and we doubt that it will have
any considerable following by the
time of the Democratic State Conven-
ton, May 26th. Good government
in North Carolina will never win a
complete victory until the Demo
cratic party has fought and won a
straight fight, without entangling
or compromising alliances and with
out trading in offices with the dems
gogues and pie hunters of an oppos
ing party. The fight along this line
had IS we'll begin now. We are con
tending for principle and we should
SO conduct our affairs as to win the
confidence of all who believe in prin
ciple as the controlling factor of q
political party.

fact, the officers are momentarily ex-

We are informed that report has
gained currency that the ladies
charged the Confederate veterans for
the lunch served them on Memorial
Day. 1t seems hardly necessary to
deny this, as it is SO absolutely false
and absurd, but at the request of
the ladies, who are wounded that
such report has been started, we
enter most emphatic denial That
the old soldiers understood that the
lunch was labor of patriotism and
appreciation on the part of the
ladies is evidenced by the resolutions
of thanks, SO heartily adopted, by
the camp at it's subsequent business

THE CANARIES.

If Spain shall see fit to prolong the
War the Canary Islands may become
the centre of attraction. Indeed, it
may be there that the great conflict
between the two fleets will occur.
OF the number, resources and loca-
ton of these islands we take the
following from the Atlanta Constitu-
ton:
"The Canary islands lie the Allan
tic ocean not far distant from the
western coast of Africa and several!
hundred miles north of the Cape
Verde islands. They comprise seven
members, of which Teneriffe and
Grand Canary are the largest. These
islands enjoy the distinction of being
among the oldest of the globe in
point of settlement. They were
known even to the ancient Greeks,
who gave them the appellation OF
the Fortune islands. Spain did not
come into possession of the islands
until the beginning of the sixteenth
century, and she paid dearly with
her blood and treasure for the
supremacy which she established
over them.
"With respect to the resources o1
the islald DIS, they are numerous and
J abundant, consisting of products
which are native to the temperate
zone. The climate is pereDnially
| mild and beautiful. The famous
peak of Teneriff9 rises from the
island OF the same name.
eve do not covet the Canary
islands, but the emerG encies of wal
may yet compel us to dispatch ouI
feet into their waters"

A Tale Of Horror.

The terrible experience OF gold-seck.
crs on the trails to klondikc have only

OF the Goth to the P.-L says that death
from rriyation, and suicide to escape
the horror, OF the once vauntcd Ash
crofc and Edmonton routes to the
guid-licliS, are the least of these hOr.
rur-. abandoned outfits and the car
ca>>c> vi dead horses are found ut every
turn, and warnings cut in the trees
afford mute testimony OF the hard>hips
that have been encountered.
Sir Arthur Curtis, the English haro-
net. who disappeared mystcriou>ly
from the trail last spring, undoubtedly
comuDttcd suicide, says Ambrose At
wood, Il member OF the unfortunate no
hlcman'> ill->tarrcd expedition. At

fort oi untold suffering.

that his party is the only one which
ever reached Dawson hy the EdmOn-
tom trail, is also at Vancouver He

lie believes that fully 1000 people
started out and not more than one in
ten will get through. a portion of
the route they Travelled mile after mile
through mud-holes and then struck a
wide stretch of bog, in which their
horses sank to their bellies. When it
was not this experience their route
was over fallen timber. 1t was simply
awful and he declares that hell could
not cause more abject suffering. To
add to these difficulties, the Indians
placed distractions in the way, to COM
pei travellers to hire them as guides.
In one instance they damned river
to cause an overflow, so that the pros
pectors could not get through without
help. False trails were outlined which
led them hundreds of miles out OF
their true course
Several arrivals at Vancouver are
Americans, and they called upon U. S.
Consul Dudley, to implore aid for
their countrymen who are stalled on
the trail. The government will pro-
badly, in conjunction with the colonial
authorities, send out relief expeditions
without delay.

This illustration teaches the nccc>-
>ity oi keeping every dollar possible in
the community to perform just such
benciicent labor. Every dollar that
remains with us, and is not boarded,
is capable of doing that kind of work.
Every dollar sent away, while it en-
riches our neighbors, impoverishes us
just to the extent of its activity rs an
rXtlnguisher OF debt. This PROPOSE
ton Is 50 plain that nothing further
need be said to establish it as an Az
ION.
How then may we be enabled to
keep the bcneiicent dollar at home?
Plainly by establishing conditions that
will not tempt its owner to send it
abroad: by making its purchasing
power here equal to what it may bear
in any other mart OF trade, and then
convince the public that it is so. The
best proof OF the pudding is said to be
i'll the eating OF it, and following out
this rule, the community should at
least consider well the claims OF those
who attempt to establish such facili-
ties for trade, before they send single
dollar to dealers who never contribute
n cent for maintenance of local enter
prise. This consideration, of itself,
should be decisive, aside from the ad-
vantages resulting from saving of
time, personal inspection OF goods,
cost OF freight and delivery, and above
all, keeping the money at home.
The establishment, therefore, of de-
partment stores like The Fair, in this
city, which eliminate the middleman's
profits and afford lifc's necessities at
reasonable margin of profit over the
expense of production, should be hailed
with satisfaction by the people. "a
penny saved is two pence earned" is
an adage which has more in it than
the hyperbole designed to emphasize
the moral it was intended to convey.

The objectionable Sin.

If straws show the direction from
which the wind is blowing, it is equal,
true that the whisperings on the stree
corner show with precision TIE tren(
of popular sentiment.
1t is likewise true that the much
abused Populists do not do all the
street-talking, and that there are in
the &. o. p. as stalwart jaw-workers as
in any other party.
One of these quidnuncs is remark
able for his profanity as well as the
general vigor of his expressions. lie
punctuates what he has to say with
frequent oaths, which add SO much to
the lurid brilliancy of his political ut
terances that to leave them out OF YER
batim report would be to rob it OF the
greater part of its force. These cuss-
words at times resound like the ex-
tremity of the whip-lash in the hands
OF an athletic stage driver, and when
the Bold and Bad Man becomes ex-
cited, the explosion resembles that Of
string OF fire-crackers on China new
year. Now we propose to substitute
the sharp-pointed stiletto as a fit rep
resentation Of the oatls, in giving a
reasonable fair idea of late passage
at arms between the Bad Man and an
ex-law-maker, who in times past was
much in evidence at the hastings.
GLOW do you like the ticket? asked
the latter on meeting the Bad Man
who was FORMULATING the streets

"What in do care for the ticket

confess, but then I'm down on Hopp |
on general principles. He has done
many things that should condemn
him, and you know yourself that he
did one thing that the people never
will forgive him for"
"What in is that" queried the
Bad Man.
"What is that?" was the reply, |
"why didn't he bring Scobey out to
this country and dump him off upon
u.s."
"That's too true" sighed the b.
NJ, as he turned aside and wept.

A Shrewd Politician, Truly.

The OIympian tries to make noun
tain out of molehill over the fact
that the editor of this paper made a
motion, in the convention Saturday,
to have the committees consist OF five,
to be appointed by the chair, instead
of member from each precinct, as
had been proposed, and withdrew it
soon as he found that there were
"wheels within wheels" that made it
Objectionable to some of the Populists
to have the chairman appoint the
committees. The motion was made
merely to simplify and expedite bust
ness, without any knowledge of the
factional feeling existing, and it was
unquestionably "good politics" to re-
move any cause for strife developed at
any stage of the proceedings. 1t is as
wise to set aside and ignore trifles in
party management as it is to contend
for points when principle is at stake
But it seems our neighbor has not yet
learned this primary injunction of
party duty, for with clear and appar-
ent majority of two to one in the First
ward primary, the other evening, he
literally knocked down, jumped upon
and dragged out, with his Wilson cut
and-dried programme, party associates
who he must in the ordinary course of
things expect to vote the Republican
ticket. Had he been laboring for alb
solute defeat of the party he could not
have done more effective work. Then,
again, for him to become angry and
"burn his shirt" because Mr.. Lewis
the other evening met the Olympian's
persistent abuse of two years with a
few scathing sentences, shows that
however much he may boast of other
statesman-like qualities, he is in no
position to criticize any act of his
party opponents. He might be able
to see through milestone, if there
was n hole through it, but we very
much doubt if he would be able to tell
whether it was made from the grit oil
sandstone or the curd of cheese.

Oh No!

The millennium is not coming for
some time yet, as may be seen from
4 heated discussion in late session of
the Methodist conference held in the
city of Toronto. This gathering
represented the supreme eccle siastical
governing power of the Methodist
church in the Dominion Of Canada.
The magnates of the church, both
clergymen and laymen, were discuss
ing the merits and dement's of the
church discipline rs it now exists.
The result of the debate brought out
the resolution that Members OF the
Methodist church who go to theaters
or dances, or have dances or card
playing in their own houses, will be
expelled"
During the debate, Edward Quincy,
member of the church and wealthy
manufacturer of Toronto, incidental
remarked that he would as soon play
a game of cards as read novel.
This heretical admission brought
brother John L. Moore to the floor in
towering fit OF denunciation, "Why,"
said the reverend gentleman, "Card-
playing leads straight down to helll"
That is absolute nonsense" re-
piled Mr.. Quincy. And then referring
to the dancing habit, as practiced by
many church members, he declared
that there was no moral question in
volved in the practice of such u
pastimc. Indeed" he continued,
"Queen Victoria, the purest sover-
eign Oh earth, countenances dancing
and now would brother Moore say
that this, too, leads down to help
" Yes" said brother Moore, dancing,
leads straight down to hell"
And so the controversy went on to
a fervent, if not birthstone heat,
and those brethren who solemnly in
clined towards the hellward side of
the question gained the victory on the
final vote.
the resolution quoted above having
been carried by large vote, it is pre-
dicted that the Methodist church ca
in and about Toronto will be depleted
by the withdrawal of a large number
OF the broader and m ore liberal mind
ed laymen.
Thus we conclude that the long.
promised millennium is yet an i'm
mense distance away. That blissful'
thousand years reign will not come to
earth while such state of "hell to
pay and no pitch hot" exists among
the churches themselves.

30 or 40 days more.
Many of our citizens are moving
on to White Pass, to catch little bus
mess, and the method always seems
to be to run a restaurant or sell beer.
II Bob Ingersoll had added the above
class to his notable list of worthless
men who, not being fit for anything
else finally drift into the ministry, he
would have just struck it. Here, how
ever, they seldom progress beyond the
restaurant and beer stage of action, for
they all expect soon to make fortunes
without giving anything in return. l
have no doubt but that the city Mt the
other end of the avenue from Heaven
will be filled with restaurant men who
charge dollar meal, and the pun
ishmcnt of poor sinners will be to eat
their mysterious preparations called
food.
