WHAT Mr.. BRYAN is WORTH.

1t has been the policy of the enemies
of Mr.. Bryan to publish it far and near
that the Nebraskan had made for
tune since the last presidential election
Ii Mr. Bryan's ambition had been ia
make money, every avenue was open to
him. He declined all oyertures that
looked to making big money and, aside
from writing his book, has devoted him
self to the cause of which he is the
leader.
Yesterdays New York Journal, in bold
black type on its editorial page, said:
In Mr.. James Creelman's notable
and exclusive interview with Mr.. Bryan
published in the Journal he tried ito say
that Mr.. Bryan's wealth did not exceed
$4,000. The perverse type made II
read $250,000. This will be discourag-
ing news to our esteemed Republican
contemporaries who have been taking
advantage of typographical error to
denounce Mr.. Bryan as prospective
plutocrat."

DISGUSTING TO HONEST MEN.

The Republican National platform
promised to uphold and extend the civil
service law. Instead of keeping the
promise, Mckinley has revoked The most
open thousands of places to appointment
without examinations. In all this he has
violated the law as well as broken his
solemn promise made dozen times in
1896.
Take the case of the store keepers and
guagers. They were protected by civil
service rules. In order to make places
for political henchmen, the rule was
revoked, and hundreds of competent men
turned out in defiance of this rule:
No removal shall be made from any
position subject to competitive examina-
ton except for just cause and upon
written charges filed with the Head of
the Department or other appointing
officer, and of which accused shall
have full notice and an opportunity to
make defense"
1t has been held by the Treasury De
partment, so the Washington dispatches
have stated, that store keeper and
guager. in office at the time of Nc
Kinley's order of May Goth, 1899, can
be removed only for just cause of which
the accused shall be duly informed in
writing. And yet the efficient and ca
pable store-keepers and guagers in North
Carolina have been removed without
cause, and their places filled by men
who stand no examination or show no
qualification except that they are loyal
Republicans.
The people are sick and tired of hypo-
crisy and broken promises. Ii Mr. Nc
Kinley had said: Il do not believe in
civil service. | believe in turning out
all Democrats and giving their jobs to
Republicans" he would have won the
respect, if not approval, of all men who
like honest dealing. But to promise Ito
maintain and extend the civil service
system and then return to the spoils
system by fraud and dishonesty is dis
gushing to honest men of all parties.

HELP THE STORM-SWEPT EAST.

We are glad to see that the good peo-
pie of Newbern and Beaufort have
already sent help to the communities
that suffered most from the storm that
devastated our Eastern coast. We pub
lish elsewhere additional particulars OF
the destruction and the needs of the
people, Yesterday we joined the New
bern Journal in an appeal TO the peo-
pie to give to relieve the suffering.
The Journals appeal was directed to
the people of Newbern TO send sup
plies last night. 1t was successful but
the devastation was so great that there
will be need of more assistance. The
people of the whole State ought to
join the coast towns and cities in
extending help. Last night Hon. Jul
liam S. Carr, of Durham, whose heart
is always first in North Carolina to
in distress, and whose heart and pock-
ct book are closely joined, wired that
he had sent a check for two hundred
dollars. This is a generous and timely
gift and will carry much comfort to
those who have suffered. 1t is. to be
hoped that other generous citizens will
"give as the Lord has prospered" so
that the good people of Ocracoke, Ports.
mouth and other points may not suffer
for the necessaries OF life.
Any contributions sent will be ac-
knowledged in these columns, and for
warded to the proper parties.

HONOR TO RASMUS MIDGET.

The fuller story of the terrors of the
storm on the coast of Eastern North
Carolina tells of deeds of heroism that
are worthy of the most chivalrous
knights Of Arthur's reign. There were
doubtless many whose actions ought to
be known of all men.
Among them all the name of RAS-
MUS S. MIDGETT, surfman at
Gull's Shoals Station, who amidst the
rain at the height of the hurricane
saved the lives of ten who would
otherwise have persisted in the storm.
Let the name of Rasmus S. Midget be
enrolled along with the names of the
other heroes who have made the hero
ism of the North Carolinlan immortal.

INEBRIETY,. DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon diseased
condition of the nervous system. The

puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-

overpowering to be conquered by reso-
lutions. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
