SHIP MONUMENT.

THE SENTINEL very heartily Sec
onds the suggestion of the Charlotte
Observer that monument be erected
to the memory OF Lieutenant Will
liam E. Shipp, of the Tenth cavalry,
the only North Carolina soldier
killed during the war with Spain.
The Observer generously backs it's
suggestion by heading the list with a
contribution of one hundred dollars,
and we doubt not there are very
many North Carolinians who will
promptly give evidence of their ap-
prevail of the idea in tangible man
ner.
In advancing the suggestion, the
Observer says:
"Worth Bagley, of the Navy, died
heroically, and a monument is to be
erected to his memory. 1T is well SO.
North Carolina has too few monu-
ments. In all wars she furnishes the
fighters, while other States furnish
the generals.
It Is becoming that a memorial be
erected to Worth Bagley, of the
Navy. 1t is equally proper that one
be erected to William Shipp, of the
Army-two Carolinians who laid
down their lives at their country's
call.
Young Shipp was of those who,
foremost fighting, fell. Beautiful to
look at; game as became q soldier; a
gentleman by Inheritance and living
up to his history; the husband of a
young and beautiful wife; the father
of two young children-what could
have been more pathetic than his
death?
He well deserves a monument, and
the Observer herewith opens a SUBJ
scription to q fund for such pur-
pose."
The SENTINEL will take pleasure in
receiving, acknowledging and forward
ing subscriptions to the Shipp monu-
ment fund.

Dead Again!

Atlanta Constitution.
The burial OF the silver question
goes merriiy on. There has hardly
been a day during the past three
years that we have not been told by
the esteemed gold organs Of the East
and their cuckocs in other parts of
the country that 'silver is dead"
Every turn in the affairs of the gov
eminent, foreign or domestic, and
every event that can be construed
as having any political bearing
whatsoever, has been hailed as an
other evidence of the Great Fact
the death of silver. That the issue,
with the lusty vigor of youth, per
sisted in kicking out of its ready
made, goldplated coffin, made no
difference with the esteemed doctors
charged with editing the Wall street
newspapers. They had said it was
dead, and dead it must be, IL they
have to keep on killing it every day.

The county insurgents are resolu-

piling up very emphatic testimony
against their former political bosses.

because their former association
with the denounced should have
given them knowledge not SO thor
oughly obtainable by those upon the

In this Indictment the insurgents,
or oId-time Republicans, among
other things, charge their former
associates in politics with arrogant
bossism, gag rule and disgraceful
and dlshonorable conduct, and
speak of them as Adventures, rene
gades, aliens, traitors and foreigners

Shawls Are Fashionable.

New York Sun.
Shawls are in fashion again. Pref
ty, soft silk and fine wool shawls are
being very much used both in the
mountains and at the seashore. A
shawl Is powerful weapon if woman
only knows how to use it. The time
was when no fashionable woman
thought her wardrobe complete IN
less it contained six or eight shawls,
all sizes, shapes and materials. To
day the up to-date girl is quite con
tent with two; but two she must
have. The first one is very fine
bright colored plaid shawl which
takes the place of steamer rug for
country Use and is much lighter and
more easily carried, and the other is
a very cobwebby silk shawl or one of
loosely knitted yarn to be worn on
cool evenings at a summer resort.
This shawl is the most convenient OF
all wraps, for 1T is warm, graceful,
does not crush the gown, and never
gets out OF order.

It is a matter of profound thank
fulness on the part of every patriotic

CLEAR CUT ISSUE.


The whole military force OF the
United States was brought to bear
that Cuba might be rid OF bad gov
eminent. The whole moral force of |
North Carolina should be brought to |
bear to rid this State of the bad
government that now exists and to
avoid the worse government that
will quickly follow if the Republicans
succeed in holding the Legislature.
The issue is clear cut in the present
campaign. 1t rises above and be-
yond party consideration. 1t is SO
plain that every man with a.thimble
full of sense may see it. The issue is:
Shall we have good government or
bad government In North Carolina?
The Democratic party stands for
| good government. It is the only
party that has given the State good
government in the past and it is the
only party that can give it in the
future.
| The Republican party stands for
bad government. 1t has given that
sort every time it has been entrusted
with the management of affairs and
it will give that sort to the end OF
the chapter, if It's power is continued.
The Populist party, alone, can give
neither good government nor bad
government. 1t is not strong
enough and will meyer be strong
enough to elect State ticket or q
majority of the Legislature
The effort to rid the State of bad
government and to secure good
government appeals to
Every man who values persona
liberty.
Every man who values the honol
, and good name of his State.
Every man who values the protec
ton of property interests.
Every man who values whit

The Only ones that can possibly b
benefited by bad government ar
those that would abandon principle
