TIE LOSS OF NORTH 0ARoLlSA

TIE revolutionary seizure OF the
governments OF NoRrH CAROLINA by
armed bodies OF lawess men compos-
ing the Democratic Party was another
practical exemplitication of the ost-ex-
pressed assertion that our free institu-
tions are too free, that liberty ia con-
strued to mean license, and that an
arcby forms the basic principle OF
many state govern ments in this repub-
lie.
Eastern North Carolina WAS terror
ICED snd no denial mad that the polls
wonld be in charge Of the mob, boote d
ard spurred, armed and equipped with
death dealing machines to butcher and
murder citizens OF color who would at
tempt to exercise the right OF suffrage.
Republican white men were also
threatened and the leaders were noti-
fed that il any trouble occurred their
lives would pay the penalty.
That Gov. d. L. RUSSELL was cowed
goes without question. He was afraid
to exercise the prerogatiyes OF his Of
fee. He tesred impeachment on the
one hand and death on the other. He
allied, temporized aud compromised
with the mob. instead of carrying out
his sworn obligations and call upor
the national government for assistance
The results could have taken care o.
themselves.
When the announcement was made
that no local ticket would be put up at
Wilmington. this sounded tine death
knell of the Republican and Fusionist
Party Of North Carolina.
The Red-Shirts paraded gatling CUR
was secured and the ofiicers of the Law
defied. These mobs knew heir men
There we're thousands of colored peo-
pie, who under intelligent leadership
aud with the support of the state an
thorities would have gone to the polls
and voted.
st was a revolutionary seizure OF The
reins OF government, and because th'
people robbed to great extent arr
colored nothing will be done about it
We cannot tell where this will end.
Revolution begets revolution; an
archy begets Ell Ncty. The govern

Baltimore. Nov. 9.-Full and semi
official returns from the city OF Baitl-

certain that Maryland has returned
four Republican and two Democratic

elese but entirely listless election. This

zoe; William b. Baker. Rep, Second

majority; James w. Denny. Dean.
Fourth district, by about 500; Sydney

GEO; George A. Pearre, Rep, Sixth
district. by about 3.00e The Demo
Gratis succeeded 10 obtaining a majer-
ity of the popular vote in Baltimore
city for the first time in six years. and
there is but little doubt that they
would have sent five congressman ia
the next national legislature il an ac-
tive and aggressive compaign had beer
made. The entire delegation, with the
exception of Messrs. Mudd and Baker
are new timber, and all are looked
upon as favoring gold standard OF

REFORMERS RELEASED.
Salvation Army Warriors Against
Nude in Art, Free.

Omaha, Neb., June 6.-The sentiment
in opposition to the public display of
the undraped human figure in Omaha
seems to be very pronounced. for Miss
Mauer and Miss Mccormick, arrested
for mutilations of statuary at the ex-
position grounds, were released for
want of prosecution. The girls are lieu
tenants in the Salvation army and a
number of the higher officers of that
organization were on hand to render
them necessary aid. Commander Booth
Tucker wired Mayor Frank MooreS that
if the girls were released they would
be transferred to another station, but
the girls refused to go, saying that
they desired to stand trial, as they had
done nothing their consciences did not
approve.
The exposition company was determ-
ined to prosecute at first, but large
number of protests were received from
Omaha people opposed to the nude in
art as displayed at the grounds. The
girls did not boast of their Offense, but
both declared that they had been di
rected by the Lord to do as they did.
The statuary destroyed was within
few feet of the building occupied by
the army as a rescue home for fallen
girls. Miss Mauer and Miss McCor-
mick thought the display was corrupt
ing, and so climbed the building at the
dead of night and cut and nutilated
the nude figures.

PROBING A STEAL.
Legislative. Lobbying by Express
Companies Being Investig ated

Omaha, June 6.-The official inVeSti-
cation of the steal by which it is claim
ed the Pacific Express company has
lost 100000 through the connivance of
some of its chief officials. was begun in
earnest today, when w. F. Bechel of
Omaha had preliminary hearing.
, The charge against Bechel is that he
embezzled s., 600 of the company's
money. For the past fifteen years
Bechel has been chief auditor of the
company His assistant was T. K.
Sudburough, who is under arrest. An
drew Hunt, chief clerk to President
Morsenan, is out on bond. Morseman
has not been charged formally with
criminal connection with the affair,
though permitted to resign his office
along with Mr. Bechel some time since.
The case was opened by the state
putting w. Mason on the stand He
has been chief bookkeeper Of the COM
pany for many years. His testimony
was that since 1888 the Pacific Express
company had paid about $40, 600 a year
toward influencing legislation at Lin
coin. Part of this money, he said was
contributed by the Adams, United
States and American Express COM
panies, the Pacific Express company
paying all expenses and drawing on
the other companies at the close of the
year for their share OF the fund.
This condition continues up to the
present, Mason testified. He would not
say to whom the money went, but peo-
pie representing the stockholders say
they are about to begin suits to recover
mony illegally taken by the head Of
ficialS for brides.
