The Richmond Times in an effort
to prejudice Democrats against
Mr.. Bryan has a good deal to OBJ
jcct to because Mr.. Bryan and Sen
atOr Allen, POpullst Senator from
Nebraska, spoke from the same
platform, before the same audience
during the late Populist, Democra.
tic and Silver Republican Conven.
tiOns in Nebraska, at which Demo
Gratis and Silver Republicans on.
dorsed the Populist state ticket
or course the Times chief objec.
ton is that Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. AL
len not only "spoke from the same
platform" but, politically speaking
they come so near ''standing or
the same PLATFORM Referril g t.
Mr.. James Creelman's report o
the convention the Times says:
lie also tells us that only a few
ii; lHuueS DclOIc MI. ID y dill SltcCI
Senator Allen, POpulist, stood OF
the same platform and said to thu
same audience that government
ownership Of the great public con
veniences, such as telegraph ant
railways, was the only means b.
which the trusts could be crushed
Both utterances were heartily ap.
plauded by the audience.
1t is significant that Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Allen "stoOd on the sam
platform" in making their respec
tive deliverances. They are indee'
on the same platform. Mr.. Bryan
does not go quite as far as Mr.. AL
len goes, and therefore is less logi
cal.
The Times is wasting breath il
proving that Bryan is more ad
vanced than his party. That is al
ready a well known fact. If h
had not been the last Populist con
ventjon would never have endOrs
ed him for President.

HON. FRANCIS ID. WESTON

In our las, issue Capt. X. Ii. Da-
Wis promised to establish the claims
OF Hon. Francis ID. Winston to the
leadership OF the Democratic party
I'm North Carolina. In this issue
he has nobly redeemed his promise.
He has in fact raised him to the
very pinnacle Of our mock-heroic
revolution. But whether that distin-
guished elevation will hereafter be
a throne or pillory the people will
decide. The brief and even roman
tic course ofthis party-leader illus
trates how quickly and how easily
renegade Republican OF the re-
quisite moral qualifications can
rise to the very summit OF the q
D.. d. =. All this is true, and yet the
claims OF this hero might have
been overlooked or forgotten had
he not found in his eulogist an an

1t has come to that pass in North
Carolina that the fear of mob Law 10
a dangerous menace to the legitimate
trial and conviction for crime By the
courts OF justice OF the state. A re-
cent illustration Of this fear was
shown by the officers of Wilson
county in their hurry to remove
Jefferson, the murderer of Capt.
Calvin S. Barnes, to a place Of safe
keeping away from the section in
which the crime WAS con mitted.
They considered this preeautiop
necessary even though the murderer
at that time was only under suspic-
lon-afterwsrd confessing the crime

when we consider the reign Of an.
archy into which the state was
thrown in the last campaign, how
mob law was then winked at and
encouraged, and how, later, unpre
cedented affairs, born OF the bravadc
of that campaign, such as the horse
whipping of Woodland at Washington
without any cause whatever have
occurred; it must be said that tht
Wilson county officers had some JUST
ficatIon for their fear of mob las.

"OUR NEW POSSESSIONS Z"

Official reports now confirm the
news that has been current for some
time that treaty has been made be-
tween this government and the
Sultan of the Sulu Islands Zone of
the PHILIPPINE group. Not only is it
true that the provisions of this treaty
are such as to make Mckinley s
PHILIPPINE Policy more indie feasible
if possible than before; but the fact
that the administration has thus rec
ognized the sovereignty of this Sultan
over one group of these islands makes
1t seem very inconsistent. 1t will be
remembered that before the outbreak
of the PHILIPPINE war Aguinaldo tried
to get a hearing before our officials
with view to coming to some agree
ment which would have led to a
peaceful settlement of the difficulties,
but the administration steadily re
fused to have anything to do with
him or any other Filipino in an
official way, claiming that to do SO
would be to acknowledge ard re cog
nize the existence of Philippine
government. which it was sui,ing the
Administrations purpose to deny. But
it now develops that the same sd-
ministration has through official
channels bought up an acknowledg. d
government Cor governoD making a
cash payment of $40 600 to be f, /
lowed by an annual pension of 81 600
to this Mohammedan Sultan; a, d
further guaranteeing to him and his
harem the protection of the Stars
and Stripes. The que stion that
arises, is if the Admin STATIONS id, a
that the Fillipinios already belong to
US by virtue of purchase from Spain
and that they are simply rebels is
correct, why does it try to buy
sovereignty over the Salu isla nds,
thus recognizing it as government,
instead of trying to forcibly suppre SIS
any rebellion that might be; and on
the other hand if it was right to
treat with the Sultan of Sulu, why
was it not also right to treat with
Aguinaldo through official channels

The delay of the Attorney Genera

The delay of the Attorney General
to order legal proceedings against
Capt. o. NJ. Carter is arousing just
indignation on all hands. 1t develop
ed that Capt. Carter, while in charge
of the harbor work at Savannah, Ca.
where extensive improvements were
in progress did, by certain corrupt
practices, defraud the government
of about $4,000, 900. ae was tried
by courtmsrtisl and the finding was
that he should be dismissed from the
army, pay fine of $40 900 and I'M.
dergo a term of Imprisonment. But
the Administration has for some un-
accountable reasons been delaying
the progress of the prosecution. A
conspiracy is limited at which would
involve others beside Capt. Carter.

Effect of Bad Election Laws
Knoxville Journal and Tribune.

knoxville journal and Tribune.
There were 125,OOO voters in the
state who neglected to go to the polls
at the state election when g. govern 0,
of the state was to be chosen last
November. No m dre evidence is need
ed to establish the fact of general
apathy among Tennessee voters.
Uutll our present unfair and uu-
just, extremely partisan election
laws are changed this apathy will
continue. Enact election laws that
will give assurance that the ballots
of legal voters only will be deposited
in the boxes, that they will be
honestly counted and the returns will
be made accor dinghy, then the voters
will take interest and there will be less
apathy.

"No use to dun 'em. No use to dun

These words, uttered in shrill, piercing
tones, attracted crowd in the vicinity
of Lincoln Park, Chicago. A we'll

vestibule of residence, where he had

rushed down the steps to covered

Messrs. Laird & Lee have just pub.
lished in most attractive form and with
dainty half tome illustrations "a rather
curious book, whose authorship is as.
cribed to the famous Joseph Balsamo,
Count of Cagliostro. the Greqt Fortune
Teller of the Eighteenth century. 1t is
called the Book of Destiny" and is
certainly most ingenious in the answers
itgiyes to almost any question relating
to the present and future. OF course
the majority Of the people are not sup
posed to believe in the occult virtue Of
the 20 magic circles, and yet many
skeptic will feel surprised and even
startled when told by the oracle of
things he knows to be true. As pas.
time, during the long winter evenings,
this Book of Destiny" is sure to DO
welcome and fruitful in innocent recre.
alton and amusement. The adapter has
scrupulously avoided all questions and
answers of undesirable character. SO
that no lady will have cause to regret
consulting this modernized edition Of
Cagliostro's great work.
