LATE WAR NEWS.

At the time Of going to press, it is
thought that President Mckinley will
send a peace message to Congress. TIE
condition Of affairs remain about the
same as on last Saturday. McKinley's
message may not be sent to Congress
before Wednesday or Thursday.
Regardless Of the score heads on the
dailies, we are not yet convinced that
there will be war. We freely admit,
however, that war is nearer than for
thirty years and one or two imprudent
acts on the part of either nation would
precipitate a conflict. Spain has sent
in her account of the Maine disaster
and insists that the ship was blown up
from the inside. The Spanish
cabinet has decided to allow the tor
pedo fotilla to remain at the Cape
Verde islands. Reed, Dingley and Nc
Kinley the three great Republican
leaders, want peace. President Nc
Kinley worked all day Sunday on his
message. Spaniards take a national
subscription to strengthen their feet,
Minister Bernabe says Congress will
over rule McKinley's peace message.
We think not, though the me- >rity of
SPANS newspapers thiBk war inevita-
BILE. The President has ordered the
Illinois naval militia to Florida. The
climax comes this week and before
next weeks PROGRESSIVE FARMER ap
pears, the question will doubtless be
definitely decided. This is about all
the hard facts we CLEAN from ten
columns of rumors, rot and rubbish in
to days dailies.

CaRRK OF The RAILROADS.

They have violated the law against
free passes for z years-openly and TN
blushingly. By the best returns on an
average 100, 900 free passes have been
issued over railroads in North Carolina
each year.
The free riding of each of these pass
takers has been paid for by adding the
cost into the price of the tickets of
those vino paid. It has been a colossal
system of getting the Inf uence" of DO
fiticians, Oficeholders. rich people, big
shippers and the like IN favor of q

used in subj 'cting them. Each of these

COURAGE.

dreams of equaS7y, fraternity and
the universal brotherhood of man are
as iridescent as the dream of purify
ing politics, So, I say, we shall have
to take things as we find them and
make the best Of them" That is the
cheerful philosophy of a correspOn
dent of Farmers Voice.
Just such reasons(O as these are
often given by persons who r~efuselN
Join the Alliance, but are over re y
to do the bidding Of the party boss
No man can escape the responsibility
of quietly acquiescing to wrong. Re-
s~istance to tyranny is obedience to God
We must progress; we must work for
right, and fight wrong even though
success seems slow to crown ourefora
"For right is right since God is God,
And right the day must winl"
A famous Chicago preacher recently
said:
''There is responsibility, not only
upon tyrants because they are tyrants;
there is responsibility upon those who
make tyrants by submitting to tyran'
nyr
This is true, every word Of it. The
man who refuses to fight wrong be
cause wrong is strong is responsible tf
the strength Of wrong, and the man
who quietly submits to the party boss
is responsible for the wrongs done by
bossism. The man who refuses "
fight monopoly because monopoly u
strong is responsible for monopoyS
strength and is as much to blame@
monopoly itself. Give us tns'
courage that fights wrong because W.
wrong and not because there Isl
chance Of winning a victory.

POLITICS IN

We learn from the Cedartown, 4
Courier that the Georgia Populists il
pect to elect Tom Watson Govea
despite his refusal to accept the NJ
nation. They will thus show the Cd
try something etrange-an office hi
ing a man who did not want it.
Courier says:
I'VE are for Watson first. We
for Watson last. We are for Watt
all the time.
"Mr. Watson is welcome to cur Ias
crust of bread and the oil in our cruise
For him we would march through the
valley Of the shadow of death and
storm the very gates of He'll ITSELF"
That's pretty strong language. Il
every soldier in the Spanish army
were as loyal to his leader, the Cuban
war would long ago have ended. We
learn that numbers of Republicans and
Democrats also wantTom for Governor.

Railroads liable to a penalty of mot
lees than 81, 900 nor more than S., O0O."
Thus the aggregate penalties incurred
come to many millions if the law we're
enforced as TO poor and rich alike. Yet
no to date only two convictionshave
been had. AS to them, the railroads,
though they employ numerous and
highly paid lawyers, had the cheek to
plead ~ignorancel and askeda suspen
sion Of the judgment. When that
failed they had the gall to plead the
very fact that they had violated the
law for seven years and by wholesale
as an extenuation. Yet that was b
greatest aggravation. Bat what will
not high salaried railroad lawyers urge9
They even called the attempt to enforce
the law in two cases out of 700, 900 VIC
lations in the last seven years a per
secution." Can mortal man show
greater cheek than this9
The minimum fine of 81, 900 each was
imposed on these great INNER against
the law and 50, 900 goes into the school
fund of Wake county for all fines, I'm.
der the Constitution, goes to- the public
schools.
There are twelve Solicitors and nine
y,eix counties. If grand juries, sollci
tors and courts in all these counties Will
do their duty and impartially admins
ter the law indictments a be found
all over the State and the school fund
proportionally increased until the law
is enforced. When all have to pay
alike rates will be cheaper. The lin
fuential" men will then be on the side
of lower rates. Now that they ride free
they stand with the railroads for high
rates. Then too the charges Of the
corruption of public servants by free
passes will stop and not till then.

A TO VANCE.

It is to be hoped that the unvellnS
ing of the monument erected to 'S
memory of Hon. z B. Vance, "
Asheville, will be well attended. 0I
ator Vance was much abused ~
sticking to real Democratic prlnclPS~s
in his last days, when his party Wv
serted him. Though abuse and sL LSt.
der was heaped upon him and oO 9at
less troubled him much, yet the tss
that be was doing bis duty con1lor3;s
him We had hoped that the epa gns
which tout Z3b" made by his unn ;0 d
ing advocacy of reform would loD nd
honoring him as war Governor h
forget him, il they must, as POI "t i
and a man with q conscience, ."
seems that such is not the case. nam
The Richmond Times, goldOug 10
ocratic, says: Heaven knows EDS,
his later days he advocated mes,rf
that The Times thinks would be I'LL
destructive of North Carolina sDft rec
the rest OF the country. He was
sllverlte of the EXTREMIST The
and he had adopted a number J,Ii6a
other wild vagaries Of the Pog~s
