McKinley's Disregard of His Solemn
Pledge to Maintain Civil Service--A
Faithful Public Official.

Mckinley's Disregard of His Solemn
Pledge to Maintain Civil Service-A
Faithful Public Official.
To the Editor: In the recent general
shake-up at revenue headquarters in Raj
eigh by which a number of Democrats
walked out. / note, especially, the re-
tirement of ex-State Senator w. C..
Troy, of Fayetteville. He was one of
the old guard. First he went to the Sen
ate from Cumberland, Harnett and
Sampson, having for his colleague the
late DIR. G. Tate Murphy, of the latter
county. This was the famous Senate
which sat as the high court of impeach-
ment in the case of Governor Holden. He
will be remembered by many Of the old
or citizens as the leader of Democracy in
Cumberland county. -Four times he rep
resented his district in the Senate, twice
defeating SO worthy man as Major w.
A. Guthrie, then residing ut Fayetteville
Mr.. Troy in that day was well known in
Raleigh. He served his State well in
conjunction with such able men as Gov
ernor Holt, Treasurer Worth. Robbins,
Henderson. ]. A. Gilmer. ID. i. Caldwell.
A. M. Scales, and others not less worthy
Of note. There were giants in those
days. He is one of the many who in the
earlier days gave of his money, his time,
and devotion to the interest of the State,
and the success of the party of which he
was an exponent. And somehow when
men of this character are forced to walk
the plank it looks just bit hard. But
to the victor belong the spoils. For four
years and more he travelled the Ninth
district as deputy collector. The same
care given every trust reposed in him he
gave to this office. He has been Il faith
ful, honest. conservative public servant.
He was chairman of the committee of
investigation that brought to light 50
much corruption in the management of
the Western North Carolina railroad be-
fore passing into the hands of Demo
cracy. Chairman also of the committee
on penal institutions. Served on other
important committees. and was the au-
thor of many important bills. One Of
these the bill for the Establishment of
the Department of Agriculture. The
writer has been one of Mr. Troy's strong
friends for years and was member of
delegation that once pressed Strongly
his name as the candidate for Congress
in his district This was the Magnolia
convention, but Colonel A. M. Waddell
was nominated. But Mr.. Troy had a
strong following for GO or more ballots.
The State has never had n more faithful
consecrated servant. He was Il power
on the stump. He never asked for office:
willing to go at any time into the fight
without reward or hope of it from per-
sonal standpoint. And the prayer of this
correspondent is that North Carolina
may again see such days as character
lied the times when mon of tho char
acter of this sketch made our laws and
shaped the policy Of the public affairs.
Some day there may be another shake
up. GEORGE s. COLE,
Jonesboro, n. c., July 81.

sharp-shooters began to fire on the
wounded that We're being borne to the
hospital by the attendants and the Red
Cross nurses. Some of those engaged
in this mission of mercy were struck by
the Bullets. This was too much for his
fighting blood. He pulled off his cleri-
cal coat, grabbed a gun and plunged into
the thick of it. He got what he went
for, because he was wounded and is go

says he hopes he made a few of those

THAT DINGLEY PLANK.

One of the most puzzling things in the
platform adopted by the Republicans III
Raleigh the other day is that reference
to the Dingley bill: eve endorse the
Dingley tariff bill, made necessary by
the enormous expenditures incident to
the war Everybody knows that the
Dingley bill was passed and went into
effect year before war was declared,
and that during nearly n year of pro
found peace it proved the most signal
failure as Il revenue producer, bringing
to the Government far less revenue than
did the Wilson low tariff act. and at the
same time compelling the consumer to
pay Il higher price for most of the ar
tcles Of necessity and comfort. If the
bin was made necessary for the war.
the necessity for it will cease upon the
signing of the treaty of peace, and the
Republicans should then certainly repeal
the bill.

The Last Victim Of the Maine--HoW the New
Jersey Fighting Parson Looks--He Pulled
Off His Clerical Garb and
Got a Gun.

Charlotte. \. c., July 23.-The pri-
maries are not far away and Mecklen-
burg has nearly enough candidates to
officer the State. The Democrats say
they are certain of carrying the county
this year by an old-time Democratic
majority and they say the delegation
that will come to the Legislature next
January will be true blue from Senator
to youngest Representative.
In this "shoe string Congressional
district the fight has already begun. John
ID. Belamy, the Democratic candidate.
has made several speeches already. and
the Dockery henchmen are flying around
the district. pulling the wires for Col
onel Oliver Fl. Some of the Populists
are not very well satisfied with Dockery
and some of the Republicans are asking
themselves if he is straight goods. He Is
facing both ways as well as he can. His
Republican friends claim that his radi-
calism is of the genuine stamp, blown
in the BOTTLE and that he is as good
n Mckinley Republican as lives. His
hangers-on in the Populist party call him
the "Populst standard bearer" and
claim he is Bryan silverite and that
the Republicans are simply going to help
the Populists out by voting for him. The
question is, can Dockery keep both
crowds fooled until election day. Riding
two horses is the same ticklish business
in politics as being on both sides of the
fence at the same time.

WEARS HIS LAURELS LIGHTLY.
One meets many interesting characters
in these days Of war. and many Of them
have stories to tell of raids and charges
and trips through the enemy's country.
But the most interesting young army of
ficer is Lieut.. Andrew l.. Rowan, re-
Gently promoted to Lieut.. Col. for BRAY
cry and now gone to Porto Rico on
Mles's staff. He is a well built, sturdy
young officer with face well tanned
by the sun. His famous trip through the
Spanish lines to the interior of Cuba is
one Of the most daring feats of the war.
He sailed from Kingston. jamaica, in
n little open boat hardly larger than a
sharpe. landed alone on the Cuban coast
made his way through the Spanish
lines to General Garcia and through
him secured the assurance of the CO.
operation of Gomez, President Massa
and the Cuban forces in the war against
Spain. He made his way safely back
to the coast, escaped from Cuba and
brought to the War Department dis
patches from the Cuban Provisional
Government. General Miles claims this
journey was cone of the bravest deeds in
military annals" And yet Rowan is as
unassuming as ID he had never been a
hero, as gay and happy as if he had
never faced death for weeks. He talks
about his trip as il it were a holiday ex-
cursion.
He introduced me to two of his friends,
General Callazo and General Herman
dez. of the Cuban army. Both of them
were almost as darkskinned as our coll
ored brethren, smoked constantly and
stood very much on their dignity. They
have both been officers in the Cuban
army since soon after the revolution
started. and have seen considerable serv-
ice in the field. Their English vocabu-
larry was limited to about nineteen words
and their conversation was as scarce as
it was picturesque.
LAST VICTIM OF THE MAINE.
Lieutenant Blandin, who died in
Baltimore, few days ago, had an ex-
perience that is given to few men. He
was an officer of the Maine and was
aboard that battle-ship when the Sex
plosion from the outside" blew her into
scrap-iron. | met Blandin when he was
going to Washington ut the time the
Maine Board of Inquiry made its report.
He said he was asleep when the explo-
sion occurred and when he awolke he was
flying through the air. He fell into the
water and in few moments was picked
up by n row boat. 1t is claimed that he
was actually below the level of one of
the magazines which exploded. If the
explosion had been internal he would
have been blown down, instead of up.
He was in hopes he would recover at
that time. but the shock shattered his
nerves and he died at his home one day
this week. He was the last victim of
the Maine.
