ALL QUIET AT NEW ORLEANS
special Police and State Troops
Still on DUTY.

New Orleans, July 2S.-Mob violence
seemed to have spent itself n the
city is more quiet than it has been for
several days and no fresh outbreaks
are reported. The burning of the
Tho@y Lafon school last night was
e~v.4ently the browning piece of mob
iolence.
Mayor Capdevielle believes that law
-sSness, such as that which has shock
ed the community during he past
few days, can only be suppressed with
force. He said today that he had no
intention of ~disbanding the special po-
lice, or discharging the militia until
the last vestige of mob violence has
disappeared. Both of these branches
of martial government will be held in
readiness for several days.
Among the communications received
by the mayor today was an offer from
the leading citizens" of Tangipahoa
for a sufficient number Of able-bodied
men to ''annihilate the negroes of New
Orleans.
At police headquarters today every
thing seemed TO be quiet. Affidavits
were made against those parties who
were arrested yesterday on the charge
of harboring the negro Robert Charles.
The identification of the latter was
made complete and the will find
a resting place in potter's field. The
grand jury is investigating the riots.

HOME TOLkS.

Butler is such a dead-duck in the pO-
litical field it is hardly worth while
to cite him as authority or to regard
him as a live factor. But on 4th Feb
ruary, 1897, this fellow had this in his
dirty sheet:
S then, for all practical purposes
and in all essentials the cooperation
of populists and republicans in this
state has been a dismal failure. Only
the contemplate pie hunters" see any
good in it."
This traitor and en- 1y of North
Carolina is now one of those most CON
temptible pie hunters" and his present
hunt will be much more than "a
dismal failure" It will end his career
forever in NORTH Carolina If he does
seek pastures new for his
grazing hereafter he will disappear for
ever and leave not a "greese spot" be-
hind.

Ra leigh, y. c., July IS

The fusionists have nov an inl.nenz
campaign fund and are spending it
freely. They are devoting themselves
entirely 10 the work of securing a ma
jority Of the Legislature. They will
buy votes. As DR.. Cy. Thompson who
was the populist nominee for governor.

in his letter, the Constitutional amend
ment may be ratified b. 10000 major
ity ard yet the ~fus:onists may set a
majority b; the legiSlatura. HIRE Is
where the danger lies.
Thompson goes on 10 say that if the
f~usionists can only get control Of the
legislature they will repeal the present
election law and will rave an amend
.lent 20 the constitution which Will
prohibit the negro from holding office.
The populists introduced such a meas
Ure at their state convention and at
the June session Of the legislature; but
the republicans have never taken any
step in that direction, nor will they
ever lake it. The democrats very prop
erly said that the way to remove the
ignorant negro from politics was by
disfranchising him; in other words, TO
lay the axe ito the root of the tree.
DR.. Thompson'S letter is really an
excellent campaign document for the
democrats. 1t is a confession that the
people will ratify the franchise amend
ment. 1t is all inspired by Senator
Butler, whose one wish and hope is
to secure reelection.
The f%usionists are putting in circula-
ton a large number of lies, at the las;
moment. 1t is learned that one OF them
here said a few days ago that he had
prepared a great fabrication to be pu't
in circulation next Tuesday so as not
to give time for its denial. He said
further, hat the fusion leaders were
greatly pleased with it.
