to explore the Antarctic, but without success
Only few weeks ago definite though dei'-

organization just mentioned. Other means nave
now been found for fitting out an expedition

A BIC SCHEME.
A Large Railroad System Has Been Plan
ned to Run Through THIS State.

There seems to be no doubt
that the railroad at Brownsville,
Pa, will be extended at an early
day down the Monographs to
Clarksburg. Engineers are &C.
lively at work on it. The line is
to be part OF a great system to
open new country from the
lakes to Florida. The Pittsburg
Post tells the following In refer
ence to it:
The new trunk line from the
Great Lakes to the Florida coast
pia Pittsburg. is now almost an
assured fact, and the surveyors
have already completed half OF
their work. The Pennsylvania
system is to receive the full bene.
fit of the new connections, be.
cause it has at present the short.
est line and the most favorable
connections. From Ashtabula TO
Piitsburg the distance is only
1873 miles and from Pittsburg to
Cleveland, the great lake port, 1t
is 139 miles. The Pittsburg. vir-
ginia and Charleston extends on,
a direct line on easy river gardes
from Pittsburg to West
Brownsville. 81 miles ana a sur
vey has been made for connect
ing lines from that point south to
the points where the big South
ern trunk lines make direct con-
nections for the Florida coast
lines and the roads leading TO all
the Atlantic coast points.
Pittsburg today is on the di-
rect lines between the Atlantic
and the Pacific coasts, and also
between the Ohio river and the
Great Lakes, but the through
north and south trunk line now
contemplated will give the Iron
City another prestige and place
it on the line of the greatest
north and south trunk line in the
new world as e division point.
The rapid development of
Southern interests and the ex-
change of traffic now going on
show what can be reasonably ex-
pected from such road and the
easy river grades demonstrate its
practicability. When the roads
which are now being surveyed at
the headwaters of the tributaries
of the Monongahela river are
completed, center in the world,
and going uia Washington and
Cincinnati, will go via to Pitts
burg and the Monongahela val

inasmuch as everybody who isn't

interesting to note that the en-

to establish an important proceed

q young lady Of that citybecame
engaged to a nice young man,
who was a bookkeeper, and who
presented her with a handsome
diamond engagement ring. AS
time wore on the two became es-
tranged. and the engagement
was broken off, the young man
requesting the girl to return the
ring. This she refused to do.
and he thereupon brought suit to
recover what he claimed was his
property. Now the girl is a high
spirited Kentucky girl, and she
didn't propose to be blufed, so
she went out and hired an attor.
ney, and she and her mamma sat
down and began figuring out a
counter bill Of expense against
the young man. They charged
him up with twenty tons Of coal
that they alleged were burned
during the time the courtship
was under way, and estimate that
no less than 10000 feet Of gas
we're consumed for his benefit. 1t
is not stated whether the young
man has charged the girl up with
ice cream and soda waters. and
chocolate creams or not, but the
case promises to be very inter

of the real ownership of the en-

even been known to hire one of

of the case is the importance of
fixing the responsibility Of the
gas and fuel bill. It may be
held on one side that parents
with manageable daughters are
bound to provide these aids to
courtship-that they are Access

by the time the average of a
family of pretty girls gets them
all married off, he has to make
an assignment in favor of the gas

LEVYING ON FARMERS TO BUY NEGRO
CANDIDATES.


There has hardly been in all the FIJI
sion administration a more scandalOus
abuse of a public trust or more open
and defiant squandering of the people S
money than the deal in the Republican
convention here on Saturday when ST.
500 of the money belonging to the farm
ers of North Carolina was used to buy
off negroes from the Wake county Re
publican ticket.
Here. as elsewhere, the negro was be-
coming clamorous for more public places,
and openly declared his intention of re-
belling against the white bosses if he
was not given place on the county
ticket Here, as elsewhere, the respect
able white voter is aroused against the
enormites Of negro rule. The POpulisi
wing of the county pie-eaters declared
that to put negro on the ticket meant
certain defeat for the advocates of
mongrel government. Something had
to be done: The mouth of the negro
was gaping and had to be stopped with
something.
J. G. Logan Harris rose to the occa-
sion. Early in the summer he had ar
ranged it so that he and a tool of his
could use the whole agricultural fund for
campaign purposes if necessary. Here
was Il case where it was necessary, and
the fund was used accordingly. The
negroes were demanding one legislator.
They were promised two places in the
fertilizer branch of the Agricultural De
partment instead at salary of 5000
each. The bait was swallowed.
Did ever corruption wear more
shameless front? 1t is bad enough when
delegates and candidates are bribed and
bought with private funds. The fu-
sionists know Il trick worth two of that.
Your fusionist does not go down in his
own pocket for the price of his rival
aspirant. He goes into the pockets of the
farmers of the State. Thus the white
tillers of the soil throughout the State
are levied on to buy up negro aspirants
in the Wake county Republican conven-
ton. This is the reform and the
purity in politics" that fusion rule has
given us.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-09-27

The most silly of all the campaign
cries of the negro fusionists is that
democrats appointed negroes to office.
BY diligent diving into the records of Il
quarter of a century they have found
that Grover Cleveland appointed Il ne
gro ambassador to Liberia, negro
country, and that some twenty odd years
ago few negro magistrates were slip
ped by Republican members into
the lists voted for by Dem
ocratic legislature. The negropholists
cannot hide behind any such flimsy OK
cuses. The whole State knows thai
when the Democratic party was i'll pow
err there was no such thing as negro rule
iii North Carolina. The whole State
knows that under fusion rule the East
has been turned over to the negroes.
These are the facts and they can not be
gainsaid. The negro himself says that
the Democratic party is the party of the
white man. That is it's past history and
present attitude This the people under
stand and no amount of lying and dis
tortion can deceive them in regard to it.
