KIND OF TALKS THAT TELL.
Salisbury SUM

Maj. w. A. Graham, of Lincoln cOun-
ty, who closed his enga cement at Sloans
Saturday to deliver three speeches ii
Rowan, has been making the kind OF
talks that tell. He makes little or no
pretention at oratOry, but deals in clear,
plain facts. His speeches, as noted frl-
day, are devoid of inflammatory remarks
and are conciiatOry in tone. His argu-
ment is persuasive and at the same
time unsparing in facts. In State poll
ties he recountS Republican rule IN recon
StructiOn days, he recites the prosperity
and good government that followed un-
der Democratic rule, and again he tells
of the corruption under fusion rule, and
does 1t dispassionately. In national
politics he throws on the y ray and eX-
poses its record, as to its financial poll
cies, its favors to trusts and combines, its
unfavorable legislation and in mild but
positive manner.
He tells the POpulists that they left
him at the forks of the road, appeals to
them to come back; that they can only
get relief through the Democratic party
that the Democrats represent about four
fifths of the voters in the two-the
Democratic and Populist-parties; that
if they want what they say it is their
duty to come back.
His speeches must indeed make votes
for the Democratic party. We desire to
express the hope that other Democratic
speakers will take up Maj. Graham
line of talking and we are sure if done,
much good will be accomplished for De
mOcFaCy

THEY ARE ONE AND INSEPARABLE.

We noted yesterday that Mr.. w. NJ.
Martin, Republican nominee for the Leg
islature in Mecklenburg, had declined
because 'the time has fully come for
good government and white supremacy.
Mr. Martin, who has long been a Re
publican, recognizes that in North Caro-
lima good government and white suprem-
acy are one and inseperable, now and
forever. Recognizing this fact, he has
the patriotism and the courage to de-
cline the nomination and give the rea-
sons that ought to actuate every white
man in North Carolina this year.
In the face of the action Of Mr.. Mar
tin and many other Republicans and
hundreds of Populists, who declare that
the need for restoring white supremacy
and good government is It question of
the preservation of the civilization of the
Anglo-Saxon race, the pie-eaters VINO de-
clare that all the negro argument is Il
racket are convicted of showing a will
ingness to debase their State In order to
keep their slice of pie or get slice.
All honor to Mr.. Martin and all other
men like him-(and there will be many
of them on the Sth of November)-who
in this crisis in the States affairs put
good government ana Angio-SaXOn SUI
premacy above pie and prejudice.

The picture Of Isaac II. Smith, the
black radical negro candidate for the
Legislature in Craven county, as Mr..
Jennett gives it in the Raleigh News and
Observer. reminds one of Governor Dan
in his physiognomy. This fine niger
candidate is the very man to repre-
sent the genuine niger party. He has
been twice convicted of forgery, and
how many hundreds of times he has
stolen are not down in the court records.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
SATURDAYS DISCUSSION.


Asheville Citizen.
The discussion in the court house Sat
urday between W. Il. Crawford and
Richmond Pearson was a notable event
1t was the first meeting in debate of the
representatives of the Democratic and
Republican parties in the Ninth Congress
sional district 1t occurred at the center
of intelligence and population of the dis
trict. 1t was for the purpose of giving
to the public an opportunity of judging
as to both the merits and abilities of the
two men.
10 those who were present and heard
the discussion it is not necessary to eX-
press an opinion as to which won the vic
tory in this initial contest So far as we
have heard expression there is only one
opinion from both Democrats and Re
publicans, and that is that Crawford an
initiated his antagonist.
There was not a moment at any point
in the debate when Pearson met even
the expectations of his enemies. He was
apparently without confidence in himself,
his own record or that of his party.
He faltered in his facts, stammered In
his diction and fell down in his argu-
ments. He appeared not to know what
he wanted to say, nor how he wanted
to say it. 1t looked as if he hoped to
save himself from the caStigation he
felt his record deserved by saying as
near nothing as possible, and at the
same time talk an hour and Il quarter.
He was nervous, irritable, petullnt
Instead of the resourceful politician his
friends have claimed him to be. he seem
ed stunned into stupidity by the contem-
plation Of his own Inconsistencies and
tergiversationS.
Pearson is beaten to start with in this
race unless he brings to his aid powers
entirely out of sight on Saturday.
III. G. Ewart. in the campaign of 1890,
when Crawford whipped him to Il
standstll on the stump, showed ability
MS a stumper as far above that mani
tested by Pearson on Saturday as De-
m0sthenes is supposed to have surpassed
Philip of Macedon.
Pearson cannot 20 through this ordeal
for each of the twenty-one remaining APP
pointments. Mr.. Pearson needs renef
and he needs it at once, and will under
take to secure it somehow. Unfortunate
~ for his congressional aspirations it is
defeat any way he turns. To cancel his
appointments is certain dsaster-to con-
tinue them can mean nothing less.
Yes. Pearson needs relief.
But Pearson has not given relief to
those who worked for him two years
ago though they have called loudly for
it during the 730 days that have inter-
vened Will the Golden Rule govern
the actions of Republicans in the Ninth
district this year? VIII those men aid
Mr.. Pearson on the one day that he
feels he must have their help, l. e., No
vember s. 1898? We shall see.

Senator Proctor Has a Pleasant Visit
With the Captain General

Havana, March 1-Senator Proctor,
with his friend, Col Parker and Consul
General Lee, made a call of courtesy,
by appointment. today, on Capt. Gen.
Blanco. Secretary Jose Congosto ac-
companied the party, and acted also as
Interpreter. Gen. Blanco received his
visitors with great cordiality, and a
pleasant talk on general matters en-
sued. Senator Proctor said he was glad
to visit the beautiful island, and hoped
to see some Of the interior.
Gen. Blanco referred to visit he paid
to the United States when he was a
young man, and could speak more Eng
lish than he can now, though, as he
said, his greater f1uency then was prob
ably due to the opportunity he had of
conversing with the handsome Ameri-
can women. To a suggestion by SEN
ator Proctor that he ought to repeat
the visit, Gen. Blanco smilingly replied
that he feared he was too old now. The
captain general thanked the Americans
for calling, and said he would return
Senator Proctor's visit upon the return
of the latter from the interior

600 for smokeIsss Powder

Washington, March 1.-The house
committee on naval affairs considered
the naval appropriation bill at its ses-
sion today. The Subcommittee on the
bill has concluded a large portion of the
matters to be framed in the general bin,
and on the basis of its work, the full
committee went over the estimates
made by Secretary Long. One new fea-
ture of the legislation the sub-commit-
tee reported on, was an item for the
supply of smokeless powder.
The committee agreed on items of
81, 600. 900, for the purchase of smokeless
powder, $4,000 for the erection Of build
ings on government ground for manu-
facture of smokeless powder with the

arms, accoutrements, signal outfits,
boats and their equipments. and the
printing of the necessary books of in
struction for the naval militia of the

Secretary Alger Desires to Abandon Re-

Washington, March 1.-The war de-
partrnent has decided to abandon its
expedition for the relief of the miners
in the Klondike country. because the
conclusion has been reached that no
necessity exists for it. Secretary Alger
has written letter to Senator Hawley
chairman of the senate committee on
military affairs, explaining the depart
ment's position, and asking that con-
gress take action by joint resolution au-
thorizing the department to dispose of
the supplies purchased for the eXpedi
ton, including the reindeer which have
just arrived from Norway, and to aban-
don the project entirely
In his letter Secretary Alger says the
conditions on the Yukon have changed
so as to render the expedition unnec-
essary, and that Gen. Miles and Gen.
Merriam both agree with him. He is
also advised to this effect by the Ca
madam minister of the interior. Later
advices than those received last De-
cember, when the expedition was decid-
ed on, Indicate, ne says, that the min
ers are in no danger Of suffering, and
he thinks that the great crowd OF pros
pectors going in over -Dyea Pass will
carry sufficient provisions to divide with
the miners III case tLSy Hecu a-sSlSldHGe.
Gen. Alger expressed the opinion that
the reindeer can be sold at price suf-
ficent to reimburse the government for
their cost He says he has offered 800
each for 100 of them. This amount is
above the cost price. He also states
that the interior department is anxious
to take charge of the animals. He also
asks for authority to sell the supplies
purchased for the expedition.

THE COURT OF INQUIRY.
No Hint Given as to Result Of Its Work

No Hint Given as to Result of Its Work.
Key West, March 1.-The second days
session of the court of inquiry is over
and nothing new is known regarding
the fate Of the Maine, at all events, out
side the members of the court. Some
who confidently declared a week ago
that the court had already found that
the vessel was Intentionally blown up
have modified this conviction, and for
the most part, admit that such reports
must be based on speculation.
Even naval officers are apparently as
much in the dark as the civilians as to
what the courts opinion is at the pres
emit moment. Excellent progress has
been made in the examinations, and the
court will probably finish its work here
tomorrow. It's members will be then
taken back to Havana on the Man
grove.
Interest in the proceedings tagged
somewhat today, owing to the utter flu
tility of all attempts to crafty the gen
| eral curiosity The correspondent of the
Associated Press placed before one of
the members of the court the letter
signed 'Maqunsta" (Maehinist), giving
alleged details of the filling of the
Names torpedo holes with dynamite
cartridges, ana their subsequent EXPOS
ion by an electric wire. The member of
the court in question said that the let
ter had not been officially before the
court.
| The general situation here remains the
same. The feet has not moved, though
i there are signs of activity which gave
rise to a rumor that an important naval
step was contemplated. Admiral Sicard,
when questioned on this point this af-
| ternoon, merely reiterated his remark of
! yesterday "There Ms no movement to-
| day. The ships have steam up always,
and they can go anywhere"
| Admiral Sicard has requested DR.. Ma
| loney, the mayor If Key West, to pre-
vent a local demonstration when the fu-
neral of the Names dead occurs. He
/ has asked that, in the event of a pa
rade being formed by the residents, only
| American flags shall be displayed.
| Mayor Maloney has promised to carry
out Admiral Sicard's wishes as far as
] possible, but doubts whether the strong
Cuban and anti-Spanish sentiment can
| be suppressed.
All the funeral arrangements will be
under the direction of Commander Nc
| Clellan of the MaTblehead. AS now
| planned. strong details of marines will
| be landed from the vessels here. and at
| the Tortugas, and the artillery at bar
racks will join in paying the last honors.

by Rev. Oliver Dyer.

Rev. Oliver Dyer spoke before the So
ciety of Antiquity. Tuesday evening. be-
fore an appreciative audience, on "The
United States senate fifty years ago."
The lecture was unique in its nature.
Mr.. Dyer was an official reporter in the
United States senate fifty years ago,
which, owing to the presence among it's
members Of Calhoun, Benton, Clay,
Webster and other illustrious states-
men, was recognized as the most re-
markable and dignified parliamentary
body then in the world. Mr.. Dyer made
special and prolonged study of the
great statesmen whose speeches he re-
ported. He noted their individual char
acteristics, their peculiar personal lido
syncracies, and subsequently developed
his studies into searching and vivid
delineations of their respective charac-
ters and their styles of oratory. It was
these delineations or, rather. 1t is the
cream of them, that Mr.. Dyer present.
