Buck Kitchin-he would hardly try his
amusing performance again The rad
ical party success and little Mckinley
blessing to the country is so broad
a joke that it amounts TO a hoax
But Jeter is in the senate by foul con-
spiracy against the people and draws
his S., 900 a year. So he Is not a sound
and qualified witness for he is interest
ed and one of the henchmen- 1t is
with him as Artemus said of the emil
nent Philadelphian: Edwin Forrest
makes money actin on the stage. He
gifts five hundred dollars mite & his
board & washin. I wish 1 had such a
Forrest in my Garding!"
A true record of the republican party
since it began business, and especially
in North Carolina, and full account
of McKinleyism In particular, would
be black with crime, folly, stupidity,
! iniquity quite satanic.
The Charlotte Observer considering
"Pritchard's Break" says this:
This is rich. 1t will be observed
that the senator does not ask his audi
ences anything about the benefits they
have had from fusion state govern
ment He might not find that such a
strong card.
Then, The Post says, the senator
cited certain products of west Carolina
that have been benefited by the Nc
I Kinley administration. Among them
is mica, found in several counties,
mines of which up to within a year
the owners were unable to develop,
and kaolin, out of which earthenware
is made. AS a correspondent of
the Observer remarked, in telling of
Hezekiah Gudgers speech a few days
ago, he said all this, but didn't tell
/ what Mckinley has done for cotton
The mica plank in the republican plat
, form is something new, but not neces-
! sarily alarming. Had Pritchard been
able to say that he had done for cot
! ton what he had done for mica there
! might have been some sense in his
! talk"

lawlessness and an army Of black
tramps from other states; you cannot
drive out capital or injure capital al
ready invested without injury to your
selves, your families, your neighbors,
your township, your county, your
country. Under White supremacy
there were peace, just administration
of law, good, honest government, ma
terial progress, educational develop
ment. contentment, low taxes and well
operated benevolences. Each race kept
it's own place, working out it's own des-
tiny according to Jehovah's appointed
law. All now is disorder, abuses, vio-
lence, uneasiness, discomfort, threat
ened chaos. If you are a white man
help to remedy these great, growing
evils and help save the state.

BREVITIES.

Little Mckinley is still forcing his
negro supporters upon communities
who are disgusted. We would not give
a rotten shoestring for such a fellow
'of the baser sort
Uncle Sam got rid of the Spanish
war, but he has a fresh one on his
hands. The Red Man is as obstreper-
Gus as the PHILIPPINES.
The Mormon progress is something
remarkable. They are as far east as
Massachusetts,. They have many mis-
sionaries in Pennsylvania. and the
south is full of them. 1t is stated as
a fact that they have 900 missionaries
in the states actively at work bam-
booZling and converting. At their re-
cent gathering in Pennsylvania, fifty
elders and missionaries attended.
Their reports all claim steady PROCESS
and many hundreds of converts, espe-
cially among the poorer classes in the
large cities.

vellously cheap Semi-Weekly Messen-

PRITCHARD ON THE STUMP.

The best joke Jeter Pritchard, of
Tennessee, has got off since his advent
to Washington as mis-representa-
tive of North Carolina in the United
States senate, is the one he whispered
in the receptive ear Of the Washington
Post It was that he asked the people
of this much abused state if they were
not of the opinion that McKinleyism
had been a blessing and also if the
rotten republican party-the party Of
plutocracy, of trusts, of combines, of
ballot corrupting and voters-degrad-
ing by purchasNif this fine feathered
thing had not really been a benefactor,
friend and protector. 1t would be
amusing to stand by and see the effect
of such question to an audience of
white men with sense enough to keep
out of a storm We did not know be-
fore that Jeter was such an humOrist,
a veritable rival of Mark Twain or
Artemus Ward. If Jeter's mind could
have been read while he was getting
off his jokes it would have appeared
no doubt in high glee over the way
he poked his fun at the unsuspecting
crowd he was burlesquing. Jeter re-
minds us Of the young chap who tried
at the theatre to do up Artemus before
the performance of Edwin Forrest be-
gan. The account is too long to be
copied, but Artemus opens it in this
wise:
''As I was peroosin the bill a grave
young man who sot near me aXed me
if I'd ever seen Forrest dance the Es-
sence of Old Virginny? He's immense
in that sed the young man. He also
does a fair champion jig the young
man cOntinnered, but his Big Thing
is the Essence of Old Virginny.' >
Leg /, Fair youth, do you know what
I'd do with you if you was my sum-
No, sez he.
"'Wall, sez I, I'D appint your fun
eral tomorrow AFTERNOON, & the korps
should be ready. You're too smart to
live on this yearth. He didn't try any
more of his capers on me-"
If some man of sense and informa-
ton were to follow Jeter once, say

COMMENTS ON TWO EXAMPLES.

The opinion of the northern republl-
licans in Wednesdays Messenger recalls
another northern writer of some
months ago. He was here for a few
days prospecting He had a valuable
plant he desired to remove into the
south. He went around our town,
was well impressed as to situation,
outlook, etc., but broke down at just
one point He moved about and the
negro officials tricked out in uniforms,
and the number of other negroes en-
ployed, were too much for him. He
said he would not willingly live in a
city where it's officials were negroes.
He moved on and went farther south
and who will dare affirm that he did
not do right, act wisely?
The statement of the northern re-
publican how he rejoiced two years ago
over North Crolina's great misfortune
in falling under republican rule, or as
we prefer to designate it with more ac-
curacy, black radicals, but had learned
better since he came and saw and Won
dered, brings up an illustrative Incl
dent. Many northern men of virtue,
intelligence and principle have had
their views greatly disturbed, their
judgments even revolutionized by see
ing the real conditions in the south,
especially under the baleful, shifting,
withering rule of black radicalism in
North Carolina. Long years ago we
knew of an able Episcopal minister
who came to North Carolina. 1t was
a few years after the war. He was a
republican. In year or two he voted
with the democrats. A northern ex-
soldier said to him: Doctor you are
a northern born man and yet you vote
with the democrats, how is that?"
The truly able divine replied: when
in the north 1 was a republican. I had
not been long in North Carolina before
I saw the dangers of negro rule-how
the state suffered from the use of them
by whites I saw I must stand by the
white race and their interests if I
would do right and save civilization.
So I have begun to vote with the white
people who should govern" That man
had brains and sense of propriety as
we'll as regard for the prosperity, glory
and uplifting of the commonwealth.
Like an honest, true man, he refused
to lend himself to pillage and abuses,
to outrages and anarchy. And no
good and true man will ever affirm that
he did not act wisely, humanely, justly.

RUSSELL INDORSED.

Do not lose sight of the fact that
with a certain class of populists the
administration of Dan Russell is
highly satisfactory as we'll as warm
ly praised. The late populist state
convention indorsed the extraordi-
nary government Of Russell that
has been so exasperating and
violent and disastrous. To indorse
Russell by a vote of political body
can but prove offensive to right think
ing white men generally. The Raleigh
News and Observer brings out by way
of refreshing memories that do not re-
tain, that just before the convention
adjourned, Captain R. B. Davis, who
had just been appointed quartermaster
by Russell, introduced the following
resolution, which was adopted:
Resolved that this convention COM
mends Governor Daniel L. Russell for
his honest efforts to give to the people
of North Carolina a clean and ecOnO-
mical administration of the state gov
ernment, and more especially for the
brave fight he is making to secure for
them just and reasonable railroad
rates and freights. In him we recog-
nize the true friend of the common
people in their resistance to the aggres-
sions of the powerful few"
Nothing more strangely absurd has
occurred thus far in the campaign of
1898, than the adoption Of that resolu-
tion. If it expresses the real senti-
ments of the populists who follow
SINNERS and Buffers leadership
then we may count on fresh, unremit-
ting deviltry if the Russell crowd is re-
tanned. Unfortunately he is in for over
two years longer, unless the legislature
is democratic and he is broken of office
forever, but unless his bad crowd is
with him there must be some mitiga-
tion of his sins of commission, and
the peace of the state may be less open
to assaults upon it. But think of Rus
sell being a favorite Of anybody.

HOME FOLKS.

The black radicals and their allies
are not satisfied, it appears, with the
natural increase of negrodum in North
Carolina. To make their grip upon
Office the more assured, and to give
more influence, force and outrage to
the niger supremacy, South Carolina,
Alabama and Mississippi are to be
drawn upon. and thousands of negroes
from those states, where white men
are free, equal and Independent, and
are on top, are to be imported. While
the real white people are for deporta-
tion of the Sambos, the spurious whites
are plotting to increase the negro vote
by importation. The game is to make
North Carolina Dahomey and more
thoroughly negroize it. 1t is a wicked,
villianous scheme and should eternity

bring it about
