THE NEW FUSION REVOLUTION

When the genuine white men of North
Carolina who united SO strongly and
resolutely to throw off negro DONNA
ton in North Carolina, and rid the state
forever of the corrupt, vicious white
men who had ruled in sin and brought
thereby unnumbered calamities upon
the state, shall read the defiant and
even revolutionary performances of the
little gang of teat-suckers at Raleigh,
they will be first amazed and then in
dignant. This state under radical rule
has witnessed many enormities in rob-
berries and violations of law, and out
RACES upon the rights and liberties of
the people. Under the Bill Holden re-
gime and the thriving, scoundrelly
black radical legislature Of 1862, a high
handed performance was played, when
Holden arrested without warrant of law
the best citizens and imprisoned them
under the guard of cut-throats-vil-
lains who were named after the brutal
villains of the gruesome and outrage
Gus times of James II, of England
"Kirke's Lambs" Thirty years after
their lineal successors undertake to
play the bully and outlaw. Holden
came TO grief, and many of his abettors
and agents lost all character and were
despised by the angered and insulted
and wronged people.
The proceedings as reported in yes
terdays Messenger are well calculated
to excite popular wrath and arouse the
lion in the white men of the state
The whole thing savors of anarchy and
revolution. But for the kindly and
wise forbearance of the democratic
board a collision would have occurred
hat as Latimer twas ii he or Ridley
or Cranmer?l aid would light a fire
that woujl never go out''-that would
have kindled the whole state. Govern
ment by injunction is a curse and of.
fence to any FREE people. Government
by inscription and revolution is not To
be tolerated, else liberty and constitu
tional rights aud the will of the peo-
pie should forever disappear. We dc
not go into a history of the operation
of the p~enitentiary board here. What
has occurred is well known and the peo.

STATE PRESS

Captain Coghlan is a fine fighter and
sings well, but his speeches evidently
have not been subjected to the censor
ship of the Secretary Of the Navy
Raleigh News and Observer.
Some bad errors have been found in
the acts of the legislature. These err
rors have been frequent in the laws of
all the legislatures for some years.
Many times they are the mistakes of
clerks and in other the mistakes of
the person who draws the bill. A more
perfect system should be provided for
the enrolment of bills. Members, in
the rush of closing a session of the leg
islature, whose duties are to read proofs
of the bills as enrolled by the clerks,
do not take as much care, many times,
as they should. 1t is our opinion hat
an officer should be appointed by the
legislature whose duties should be to
read all bills enrolled by the copy fur
nished the enrolling clerk and let him
certify that it was a r copy, and
then have the committee of legislators
to read them after him.-Dunn Union.
The man who charges that the
amendment disfranchises a single
white voter is either deceived or a de-
ceiver. If it is attacked at all in the
courts by Pritchard & Co., it will be on
the ground that it lets in all the uned-
ucated white men, but shuts out the
ignorant negro. This is easily met by
the plain fact hat the discrimination
is not on account of race. The same
loophole that lets in the 81 white vot-
ers let's in the same class of colored
voters. The disparity in tie number
protected does not affect the principle
oneiota. The Democratic party is a
party Of principle and progress. 1t pre-
fers to discuss live economic problems
rather than the race question. 1t is
not afraid to appeal to the intelligence
and virtue of the people. If the negro
is an issue in North Carolina after 1900
it will be only because the Republican
and populist politicians are afraid TO
submit their principles TO the arbirra-
ment of a white jury.-Webster's
(Reidsville) Weekly.

NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ON THE
GEORGIA CRIME

In the burning at the stake of Sam
Hose in Georgia the punishment more
than fitted the crime. 1t was more than
justice; it was vengeance. But if the
fate Of Sam Hose does not prove a les
son to his race and all others who
commit like crimes, the work of the
mob, which was the most horrible Of
which we have any record, will have
been in vain.-Durham Herald.
1t is insulting to the English lang
uage to call this by any other name
than murder, and every man who had a
hand in it is a murderer. The state of
Georgia stands blackened before the
world by so awful a crime. The men
who burned this negro alive were act
tuated by no loftier motives than the
wretch they murdered. He was an an
imal in human form and committed
the crime of a wild beast. They did
the sam.-Asheville Gazette.
The last two weeks have been full of
horrible deeds of blood in Georgia.
Over ten days ago a black brute struck
down a young white farmer, tore from
the mothers arms her infant, dashing
it in the blood of its murdered parent,
and added to his foul deeds the hellish
one of outraging the young wife in the
very blood of her butchered husband.
This act maddened nd Infatuated the
people Of the section, and the brute
and his accomplices have met a terri
BILE fate. They deserved death for their
foul crime, but it is a matter of regret
that it vas accompanied with such
CHASTITY deeds as the account of the
lynchings gives.-Wilson News.
The lynching Of Sam Hose, the rapist
murderer, by burning at the stake,
near Newman, Ga, Sunday afternoon
was n of the most horrible cases of
mob murder on record. The details are
too revolving for print-they make the
type shiver and shudder. Nearly two
thousand people witnessed the awful
scene. 1t is indeed unfortunate when
a community is wrought up to such a
bloody frenzy. The crime for which
Hose died was a most diabolical one.
He had killed a worthy white farmer,
named Crawford, and had assaulted
Mrs. Crawford. It is all too terrible to
talk about. What a pity the law could
not have been allowed to have given
him swift justice.-Durham Sun.

: EPPlNGER IN JAIL.
He Is Charged With Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses

W. L. Eppinger, the founder of a little
weekly paper in this city, which it was
lnteded to devote exclusively to railroad
men, is in jail. He was arrested last
night by Detective Murphy on a charge Of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
l. Is alleged by young man named Jones
that Eppinger advertised for man with
money, said man to get a good thing by
applying to Eppinger. Jones said he it in
Adams apple repository. The plan was
Tor Jones to do some coAecting for Ed
pinger, but to show good faith in the mat
ter Jones was required to put up bond
OF $50 before starting out on his collecting
tour. The $50 was put in Eppinger's
hands, and then. it is said, Eppinger went
to Anaconda In the meantime Jones col
lected nothing, he says, because there
was nothing to collect. Eppinger return
ed to Butte day or two ago and now he
is in jail.
1t is said that Eppinger who. by the
way, some time ago disposed of his inter-
ests in the weekly paper, has been inter-
viewing some business men in this city
on matters which these business men are
willing should be investigated by the po-

HIS SIDE OF 1T.

He Denies He Is the Husband of the
Woman With a Gun.
5 L. H. stanhope called at the Standard
office last night to state his side of the
case which the day before furnished a
mild sensation in the police station. A
woman giving her name as Mrs. l.. H.
Stanhope was imprisoned Sunday on
the charge of carrying a big gun in the
search for Stanhope. Mr.. Stanhope
said:
whenever this woman says that she
is my wife she says that which is false.
l have known her for about year and
during that time 1 have contributed to-
her support. According to the pub
lished report of Sundays affair, the
woman made some false statements
which I desire to correct. AS far as I
am concerned personally in the matter
doesn't amount to a great deal, for I
can take care of myself in an argument
with her. But l do object to her
bringing into disfavor the name of the
very honorable young lady with whom
l am keeping company. She says that
l was in this lady's room and that she
was refused admittance. This is all
false. 1 was not in the lady's room,
and If l had been she might have been
admitted and as promptly elected. 1
have had not dealings with this self
alleged wife of mine for several months.

Her name is Mrs. G. L. Nye Her hus-
band is Chicago policeman I don't

ness and indecency which they thought
would compel them to stop the per-
Torrance.
The house was packed again, and at
least one-fourth of the audience was
composed of women, including promi-
npnt society ladies. Governor Smith
was there and many prominent profess
sional and business men of the city,
and they wondered what all the fuss
had been made about during the day.
While admitting that there were some
rich and risky things in the play, they
could not see the cause for any upris-
ing of moralists in Butte on this par
ticular occasion.
AS whole THE Turtle" may not
necessarily be regarded as unwhole-
some, though perhaps the play will be
best appreciated by the older class Of
theater-goers, and father after seeing
it would probably not send his young
daughter to witness it. 1t is one IF the
brightest of French farce comedies. and
does not involve the usual theme of
French comedies. that of martial in
consistency. Its droll and exceedingly
mirth-provoking complication arise
from the divorce troubles of Champa-

of this grows the comic interest and the
fun that results is of the fast and su-
rious kind and is steadily cumulative
until just before the fall of the curtain

affair, but the disrobing act must have

each particular part. Handsome and
clever Isabelle Everson plays a charm
ing part as the divorced wife, and Sig
nor Perugini is capital as the too much
married man. Miss Jennie Reiffarth,
splendid actress, and Miss Ada
Deaves, another notable member of the
cast, and Isabelle Bowman have good
parts. Uric b. Collins, George HoI-

contribute much of the good playing

One of the greatest hits was made
by Marion Ballou, the artfuI chamber
maid.

cited in very able manner, and the
music of the Mandolin club, was good,
but would be more appreciated in a
smaller room. Master Elmer Albrit-
