During the last campaign, the ode

exhibited by the goldbugs as a fright
full example of what the country
would come to, should we have free
coinage of silver. The gold bugs
were elected and are running the
government now. But who would
have thought that this goldbug gov
ernment would have so soon gone
into the business Of buying up "Mexi-
can 40 oenters" with which to pay off
our soldiers. But that is Just what
our government is doing. 1t has al
ready bought 100000 of these $40
centers' and is buying more. Why?
Because these $40 centers" have
greater purchasing power at Manila
than the U. S. gold dollar. Will the
goldbugs please explain? And still

hAND.IN.HAND.

A third of century, and more,
since Appomattox's historic day, has
rolled itself into the scroll of the
irrecoverable past. A new genera
ton has been born and entered upon
the Joys and cares of life in an age
marked by Titanic strides of progress.
The population of republic con-
ceived of human benevolence and
born in the travails of war and bap-
tized in heroic blood, has doubled
it's population and quadrupled it's
wealth. Cities have grown into
magnificence of proportion and
splender of aspect, while others as
if from magician's wand have leaped
forth where least expected. Fortunes
have been piled to colossal i'm
mensity with a suddenness that
would -extinguish Aladdin's lamp.
In the meanwhile devastated South
has risen Phoenix like from the ashes
of ruin and clothed herself in the
beauty of youth. That ungainly
garment-the "bloody shirt is no
longer the chief political capital of
hateful Northern partizanism. Pat
riotism has supplanted Southern
sectionalism, and enterprise ha.
driven Northern hatred to the rear.
Another war has broken upon the
remnant of the generation Of the COS
and upon the hale and healthy new
born generation of succeeding de-
cades. A war, not internicine nor fired
by the spirit Of sectional jealousy; but
a war to vindicate the nations honor
and to stay the bloody hands OF a
treacherous tryant from barbarous
cruelty to our helpless neighbors.

side beneath the ample folds OF Old

Driven into a Corner and left Helpless
(CharlOtte Observer.

In all our acquaintance with North
Carolina politics there has never
been in the Senate so loose a talker
and writer as Senator Butler.
He has not hesitated in speech or
writing, to bring the gravest charges
against his fellow-citizens- charges
affecting their personal character,
their personal honor. and without
adducing line of evidence to sup
port his allegations. The loose talk
has become habit of his life, and it
does not surprise us that he has been
called to book. In the Senate Thurs
day in the discussion of the war
revenue bill, we are told that '.he
made serious reflections upon the
Senate itself, charging that it's ma
jority had been 'unduly influenced
upon the question of bonds" Called
to account by Senator Gallinger, and
it being demanded of him that he
make his charge specific, he dis
claimed anv personal knowledge of
the truth of the things he alleged.
In word, he was driven into a cor
ner and took water.
This mans whole political warfare
is traduction of his betters; charges
which he cannot support; allegations
which he knows to be untrue; loose
for which he has no
warrant. The public owes thanks to
Senator Gallinger for putting this
public defamer in deep dark hole.

FRASIUS SPEAKS.

Lincoln, the capital city of Nebraska,

credits Topeka with only 31,0O7 tnhab-

Topeka is ten years older than Lincoln.
Railroads have made Lincoln, Neb. To-
peka has secured her growth in spite
of railroads. Lincoln enjoys privileges
and rates to which her position as cap
ital city of great state entttle her;
Topeka has not a single advantage in
railroad rates, that is not equally en-
noken. Nor does Topeka want an ad-
vantage over other cities or towns in
Kansas; all she wants is justice. When
we consider that all natural advantages
between the capital cities of these two
states are in favor of Topeka; we have
a right to inquire into the causes that
lead Topeka to defeat in the race for
commercial supremacy.
