Considerable misapprehension ap-
pears to exist with regard to Aus
tralian droughts, were phenomena pc
culiar to New South Wales and the
other colonies, overlooking the fact
that all countries are more or less ex-
posed to droughts, or temporary de-
fective rainfam some, indeed which
have never been credited with drought
being ny no means free from the un-
welcome visitation. For instance, the
United Kingdom has frequently been
subject to droughts, not simply for a
month or two. hut for several years
in succession. and more than once to
an extent unknown in Australia
There were four consecutive years
during which the British rainfall in
no year exceeded 65 per cent Of the
average No such drought has ever yet
been recorded in australia. In sgd
ney, with fifty years experience, the
lowest rainfall Of amy sing,e year
that of 1840-was A per cent Of the
average, while the smallest rainfall foI
any two consecutive years gave IA pei
cent. of the average for each year
Where, then, is the difference?J For II
is readily admitted that the effects OF
drought are greater in New South
Wales and the other colonies than In
the United Kingdom.
The explanation is simple enorgh. In
the first place, the high state OF cult
vation in the mother country tends tc
preserve the moisture in the soil; IN
the next place. the heating effect of the
sun is not by any means so great In
Britain as it is in Australia; and
thirdly, the abundance Of supplies
from other countries naturally tend te
mitigate the effects Of drought 10 the
United Kingdom. But in Australia
cultivation has not yet advanced suf-
ficiently to mitigate to any consider
able extent the effects OF drought, and

THE CAPE FEAR SECTION.

\ private letter from Il prosperous
business man of Fayetteville, who is not
a politician, contains this cheering bit Of
news:
i find that many of our Populist
friends are coming back home this
year, Disguised with the way they
have been bartercd for office by
their leaders, and the outcome of re-
forms promised. l can count the
changes by scores. | am in
formed that the same state of affairs
exists in Harnett RObeson and
Sampson. If am not mistaken the
Cape Fear section will give ii good
account of itself this Fall
1t is said that the Bull of the Brushes
is beginning to wish he had demeaned
himself little more gingerly in that
china shop.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-08-16

it is more the subject of criti-
cism that tho constitutional conven-
ton of 1870 saw fit to intrust to the
Legislature powers over local govern
ment, vast, but justifiable, III their
opinion from conditions well known
and thoroughly considered, and which
were ratified by submission to the bal
lot box or that a Legislature which
deemed that such powers were no longer
necessary as to county magistrates AMI
commissioners should adopt the system
for the first time as to one or two mum
cipalites-this is for consideration III
other forums. 1t is not for us to criticsc,
but to construc what has been enacted by
constitutional conventions, or, within
their powers, by legislative assemblies.
This decision of the Supreme court
does two things that need to be en-
phasized:
/. The Democrats, when they return
to power, can legally protect the negro
counties without imposing the system ne
cessary for such protection upon other
counties which do not desire the system
devised to save the Eastern counties
from ruin If wise there can be II sep
arate system for each Of the 9G counties.
.. The Republican advocacy Of Home
Rule has been shown to be nothing but
u campaign cry, for the Republicans
have refused to give the people the right
to vote for their officers in the two chief
cities of Eastern North Carolina, and
have put negro school committeeman
upon white communities without giving
them IL chance to say Il word about it..
In other ways they have denied the
right of local self-governmcnt about
which they pratcd SO much when out OF
power. And yet, in many instances
upon one dishonest plea or another the
power of ruling has been taken from the
people and put in the hands of one man
who has used it for selfish ends. When
the Democrats denied to incompetent &c
rroes the right to loot Eastern counties
and cities, they frankly declared that 1t
was done to protect property and person
nj rights and they gave the control into
the hands of the capable white men of
the counties and cities. The Republicans
confer all the power on one man who
uses it to put incompetent or base men III
office. That difference ought to be "X-
planned on every stump i'll North Caro-
lima.

SILVER?
Washington Post.
The Post regrets to find itself quotct
as having asserted in recent issu,
that 1T is the almost universal belief
of the men who supported Bryan TIVE
years ago that the same issue on which
that memorable campaign was wage,
will be retired two years hence" The
Post regrets being thus quoted for two
reasons. The first is that the state
ment is not true. and the second IS
that its publication calls for an eXpIa-
nation. What The Post intended To
say was that the men who supported
Bryan two years ago believe that the
same issue on which that memorable
campaign was wagcd will be retired
two years hence' The transposition of
two letters changed ''retried" into re
tired" completely reversing the mean
ing of the writer and doing violence to
truth.
SO far rs we are advised, all the lead
ers of the great Bryan combination
Democrats. Populists and silver Re
publicans-hope to make the campaign
o. 1900 on the issue of '96. They have
firm faith in the vitality of that issue,
ana appear to believe that 1t Is uCS-
tined to achieve victory. The splendid
condition of our national finances has
not shaken their confidence in IS to !.
They point to the depression of the cot
ton manufacturing industry in Massa-
chusetts and the low price of raw cotton
as confirmation strong as proof from
holy writ of their theory on the coinage
question. Senator Jones. of Arkansas.

have any new party issues in this country
until the old ones are settled. Silver

The Democrats in this campaign, hav-
ing been invited by the representative
negro spokesman to meet the Issue Of
negro supremacy. are prepared to do so,
and they call upon all white men who
are truly white to vote with their color
instead of against it in the issue that is
now joined. They do so without any feel
ing against the negro, any purpose to
injure him, or any intention to deprive
him of those rights which justly belong
to him. They honestly believe that the
white man is the titteSt man to govern
and they point to a record of quarter
of n century to prove that white men in
North Carolina were kind and just TO
the negro race, and that the negroes as
a whole were better off and happier than
when the politicians of their race are
helping base white men to bring their
State down to degradation and to ruin.
There is but one safe course for tue
South. and that lies i'll giving to th"
whites the control of State, county and
municipal governments and giving to the
negro the control of whatever belongs to
his race. 1t is all very well for theorists
to denounce race prejudice and office
seekers to eXalt the negro for personal
ends. We must deal with facts. The
negro is not fit TO govern. Whenever he
and men dependent upon him rule,
scandals follow thick and fast. There
must be, for the good of both races, Il
gulf fixed between them. The military
rows show that this is true in the North
as well as in the South. The presence
of negro and white churches, negro and
white schools, negro and white societies
and lodges-al these show that there
must be complete separation, each race
working out its own destiny without hln-
dering or impeding the other. 1t must
be so i'm politics if the South is to have
good government. The white race or the
negro race must rule. Those white men
who believe the Anglo-SaXon race is
most competent to rule ought to vote for
the party of the White Man and the
White Metal. Those white men who
think the African race is fittest to rule
ought to vote for the party of the Black
Man and the Yellow Metal.
The issue is joined: Choose ye this
day whom We will serye'
