Grave charges have been made
against the moral character and con-
duct of Mr.. Robert Hancock, president
of the A. and n. G.. railroad. 1t is
charged that he has seduced, under
duress, his wife's neice, who lives in
his house. 1t is reported that his
neice had instituted suit against him
for damages to the amount Of $4,000,
but that for some cause not published
the suit has been withdrawn, though
it is claimed that the charges made
against him by his neice have not been
withdrawn or retracted. To fill places
of public trust we should have men
not only of ability and capacity but
also men of good moral character. II
Mr.. Hancock is guilty of the charges
made against him he falls below the
standard which should be maintained
for such a position. We take it that
the Governor is looking into this mat.
ter and it the charges are true that he
will promptly call for Mr.. Hancock:
resignation as President of the State
road.

A New England Strike.

NEW BEDFORD, MASS, Jan. 1..-Ten
thousand mill hands are idle today be-
cause of the strike against the ten per
cent reduction of wages. The opera
tives in the other cities will help them.
The mill owners are saying little but
are confident that money will bring
them victory. There are no indica-
lions of violence.
Strikers have begun disorder. Sup
erintendent Knowles, Of the Asushnet
Mill, was stoned by crowd of nearly
a thousand strikers. He is one of the
most unpopular men in New Bedford.
He made speech at the gate of the
mill and tried to persuade some of the
strikers to return to work when be
was roughly handled by the men. About
fifty weak kneed men, mostly French
and Polish, attempted to resume work
but were prevented by the strikers who
are in an angry mood, and serious trou.
BILE is anticipated.

congratulate the former readers of the

ceive better payer and an ADLER de-

Oklahoma Representative (Pop): 1t
is really hard to believe that any num-
Der of sane men will meet at St. Louis
next month and attempt to call a ma
tional convention of the Peoples party.
Such a proceeding means nothing
more nor less than bolt and the for
nation Of new party. The men who
will meet at st. Louis cannot legally
call convention of the Peoples party.
If they do so, and candidates are nomi-
mated, they will have no place on the
ballots except by petition and under
another name, wherever the Austria
liam system is in operation. Only
nomination made by q regularly called
convention will appear as candidates
of the Peoples party at the:next cleo
ton, and if convention is called by
those without authority it will certain
ly not be regular. It is impossible, in
the machinery Of politics, to call con-
vention of party outside of the au-
thorized committee and have the re-
suit stand the test.

THE ELECTION OF HANNA AND The
LESSON 1T TEACHES.

THE ELECTION OF HANNA AND Inc
LESSON 1T TEACHES.
The election Of Mr.. Hanna to the
Senate by the Ohio legislature is a
doubtful victory for the Republican
party, to say the least. He was elected
by bare ma ority of one, receiving -
votes. II he had received one vote less
he would have been defeated, and there
are grave charges that some of these
votes were bought, and committee
has been appointed to investigate
them.
Everybody expected Mr.. Hanna to
be elected but the fact that he was
barely elected by legislature that has
good Republican maj ority, and by a
State that is strongly Republican and
that too, the home of President Mckin-
ley, and the further fact that the Pres
ident used all his influence and no
doubt his patronage as far as he dared
to help Mr.. Hanna, and the further
| fact that Mr.. Hanna is a millionaire
and is reported to have used his mon
ey lavishly, makes the result more of
defeat than victory. Again it is
questionable if the Republican party
as an organization has CARED any
thing by his election. There il already
a considerable revolt IN the ranks of
the Republican party against the type
of Republicanism for which Mr.. Han
ma stands. Mr.. Hanna is no more of q
Republican than Mr.. Cleveland Is a
Democrat. They stand for the suprem-
acy of the gold syndicate and the al
lied monopolies and trusts. There is
, no material difference between them
, The masters they serve are one and the
same. The Democratic party was forced
, TO repudiate Mr.. Cleveland or become
the open and unqualified apOlogist anc
defender of everything evil in the
, government. The Republican party
\ must repudiate Hannaism or become
2 the open and unqualified apol
: Ogist and defender of the Shy

Allow Inc to add that We are won

the recent victories you won over
some of the Democratic papers, those
that were guilty of starting aud cir
culating those Infamous faIsehoOds in
regard to our beloved Senator relative
to that great Rocky Mount speech.
They suddenly dropped the subject a.
one would hot iron after seeing that
the evidence proving them guilty was
SO plain. 1t would pay the Democratic
| party to get rid Of such sheets as re-
ferred to, because every time they at
tempt to Islander such man as Sena-
tor Butler, whose character is above
reprOach and who has had abuse and
villificatiOn heaped upon him, but has
always proven himself faithful and
true to the enslaved masses, every
time they attempt to down such man
they lower themselves IN the estima-
ton OF fairminded people. Ii should
be a source OF much qualification to
every Populist in North Carolina, and
| might say to every one in these
United States, to know they have such
an able and patriotic leader. IL SO
happens that he Is always found on
he right side of all questions when

At stake, cOntending for their right.
