MR.. BAILEY's

Editor Bailey, of the Biblical Re-
corder, who evidently thinks he car
ried the amendment all by himself,
was very busy last week writing let
tiers protesting against the mention
of McKinley's negro postmasters in
the national campaign. As it was an.
editorial in this paper which aroused
his ire, we replied that the Democrats
did not need his advice in the national
campaign because he was not in
favor of Bryan, and because he adj
vocated the Republican side Of the
five leading issues Of the national
campaign. He challenged the cor
rectness of our statement and said:
Il do not advocate the measures
you say L do, and why you should say
so IN the lght OF my course, which is
an open book to at least 10000 honest
men and women, / cannot under
stand.
When he made this plain, direct,
positive, unequivocal statement, Il do
not advocate the measures YOU say I
do" it was our duty to retract our
statement or prove the truth of the
printed charge. There was no
other alternative. Therefore we have
made an examination of his files and
yesterday printed his own words, show
ing that he fully endorsed the policy
of imperialism as ''inevitable and
worthy of the nation accompanied
by denunciation of all who opposed
it as unreasonable shameless"
''demagogues, opposing Providence"
seeking to smirch the national hon
or" without common sense" and
having mo regard for human well
fare
Today in our Sunday supplement
we give further extracts from the Bib
lical Recorder, which show, not only
that Editor Bailey had advocated
every policy we said he advocated,
but that he lad gone e"cE further
than Pritchard in advocating Repub
lican schemes to humiliate the South.
We use no evidence except his own
printed words. If we added his
spoken words the evidence would be
even stronger, but we quote nothing
except what was written and deliber-
ately printed in the paper of which
he is editor.

A Senatorial Suggestion.
Harrellsville, n. c., August IS.

Harrellsville, n. c., August IS.
To the Editor:
Dear Sir:-I read with interest the
article of Mr.. Pittman, of your town,
who says he wants Mr. Simmons to
go to the United States Senate for
life or to have any honor he wants
which the people can bestow'
Our excellent State Chairman has
done good work, but he has fortu-
nately been at the helm when the isl
sues have been such that all that was
necessary for the success of the cam
paign was to properly direct. If
Hons. Glenn Manly or JAS. II. Pou had
been our State chairman this year,
our victory would have been assured.
If Mr.. Simmons had been chairman
when Messrs. Pou and Manly were,
the result would have been the same
j verify believe. Mr.. Simmons de-
serves praise and reward at the hands
of the party, but there are others
equally deserving.
For myself | favor Julian S. Carr
for the Senate He is the most pro-
gressive and public-spirited citizen in
the State. He has ably seconded the
efforts of Messrs. Smith, Pou, Sim
mons and Manly in all of the cam
paigns for the last twenty years. He
has had no office either or honor Or
profit-Mr. Simmons has been reward
ed with both-He is a gallant ex-Con-
federate soldier, and the senior of
Mr.. Simmons by fifteen years, and if
Carr is to ever receive anything it APP
pears to me that now is the time.
Mr.. Simmons is, head of one of the
largest and best paying law practices
in the State. and it looks to me as if
he could afford to wait a few years
and give an old Confederate chance.
as | for one don't believe they have
played out
Very truly yours.

atty to the National Democracy and its
regularly nominated candidates. The
party allows it's members the utmost
freedom of opinion but support of the
nominees is a requisite of party regu-
larity and recognition. To state the case
differently, the voter who votes against
Bryan, or who fails to vote for him, has
no right to call himself a Democrat or
share in the councils of the party, for
Bryan is the regularly nominated candi-
date and stands on the party platform
Thousands of Democrats, loyal ss the
most loyal, do not believe in every doc
trine of the, party, but they vote the
ticket and they are 10 h. commended for
submitting in some particulars to the
will of the majority. But the voter who
bolts the party ticket has no Just claim
to the party's name. North Carolina
Democrat think long and well before you
make up your mind to bolt the party
ticket this fall. The Democratic party
will have 100000 majority in future cleo
lions in North Carolina. With wise legis-
lation and conservatism the party will
control the State for many years, for the
people Of the State are Democrats by in
heritance and from tradition. The Ma
tional Republican party has treated our
people as aliens and our State as a
province. Even if Republican financial
and Industrial policies offered most pecu-
MARY advantages to our people (Which
is not the easel, the memories of 81 and
90 and of Republican outrage and insult
heaped upon our State and people in
the years which followed those years of
disastrous war are too fresh in the minds
Of North Carolnians for the Republican
panty to gain the ascendency since the
negro has been DISTINGUISHED. In the
ascendency of the Democratic party all
men who voted for Aycock and the amend
ment on the second day of this month
will want to have a part, and our advice
to all such is keep your party record
straight by voting for Bryan and Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress-" Except
we abide in the ship we shall all likewise
perish is a text from Holy Writ which
should be carefully studied by hundreds
of North Carolinians between now and
November.

IMPERIALISM AND PENSIONS.

Hon. Thos. f. KluttZ in Statesville.
We are told that we ought to favor
Imperialism on account of trade.
According to official reports our armies
are costing us daily $4,000 or over $780,
600 900 yearly. Under three years OF Nc
Kinlevs administration the approprla-
ton has been $500 ,000, 900 more than the
preceding year. Such is the record OF
Imperialism and McKinleyism
We are having in the pension roll an
illustration of what war means Under
three years of Mr.. McKinley's administra-
tion the pensions have amounted to $780,
900, 900; under Hayes and Grant for twelve
years there was only $175,0O0 spent for
pensions. Today 35 years since the war,
there are 993, 900 pensioners on the roll.
If the war in the Philippines is to be
protracted where will this pension roll
be in a score of years from now. II the
Lodge Spooner resolution prevails, as 1t
will if Mr. Mckinley is elected, when will
this thing end? Though William McKin-
ley may not be emperor in name. doesn't
he become just as much emperor as Vic
toria is Empress of England?

THE EFFECT OF TRUSTS.
Baltimore Sun.

baltimore sun. 0T4
In his testimony before the Industrial
Commission, P. E. Dove. 81 New York,
President of the Commercial Travellers
National League, estimated the number
of travelling statesmen in the United States
at $50, 900. Many thousands of them, he
said, had been thrown out of employment.
The Tobacco Trust, he asserted, had dis
charged about 5000; the Bicycle Trust,
the Chair Trust, the Union Paper and
Bag Trust have each dismissed hundreds;
the American Tinplate Trust discharged
90 per cent of it's statesmen, and the
Coffee and Sugar Trusts have been equally
merciless in reducing the number OF
travelling statesmen employed by them.
The trusts have no sentimental notions
about "full dinner pals" They care not
who gees hungry as long as their divi-
dends are satisfactory. While the COM
mercial travellers have suffered, the hotel
keepers have also had troubles of their
own. Many of them were dependent upon
the travelling statesmen for a large part
of their business. This patronage they
no longer enjoy by reason of trust
economy" There are thousands of hotel
proprietors throughout the country who
have not realized the pleasures of an
overlooking dinner pail since the indus.
trial moncpolies began to cut down ex-
penses and increase profits. The Repnb-
lcan campaign slogan, therefore, will not
throw commercial travellers and hotel
keepers into raptures of delight.

THE LILY WHITE TO BE REVIVED.

Wadesboro Messenger Intelligencer.
An Observer man was informed yester-
day that there is a quiet movement on
foot among the business men of this city
and in a few other North Carolina towns
relative to the political condition in this
State The suggestion seems to be that
they expect to meet at Greensboro or
Charlotte and formulate a resolution ex-
pressive of their view of the situation;
maintaining that political and economic
problems are closely akin and that they
have a right to speak as to the latter.
They will publicly voice their depreca-
ton of the turmoil and bother that will
come to this State if they cry CT negro"
is prolonged and they will voice a wish
for conversation and decency in politics..
Charlotte Observer
This is evidently a resurrection of Sem
ator Pritchard's abortive attempt to or
ganize a Lily White Republican party in
North Carolina, and it will, in all proba-
bility, meet the same fate Of that move
ment.
Because there are a few rich men IN
Charlotte, and at other points in the State
who are anxious to go into the party that
owes it's origin, and continued existence,
to hatred of the South and its institu-
tions, is no reason why that party is any
more respectable now than it has been
at any time in the past. 1t is the same
old party it has always been, and South
ern white men who join it, from pecuniary
considerations, are simply bartering honor
for gain.

IS IT PERMENTLY SETTLED?
Windsor Ledger.
When will the negro question be per-
manently settled in this State? Should
it be an issue in the pending national
campaign?
Issues are settled when they pass into
law or when all parties formally abandon
them.
The amendment does not go into effect
until July, 1902. That is the lawful date
of the settlement The moral date is
when all parties agree to abide the de-
cision Of the people on August 2nd.
So long as there is a determined senti-
ment in the opposition to undo that set
clement just so long will the negro be
an issue.
The Republican party in North Carolina
declares against the amendment and it's
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-08-19

leaders swear they will take it to the
courts of the United States.
AS long as a Republican Convention
meets and declares against the amend
ment, just so long will the negro be
an issue.
AS long as Holton and Pritchard and
George White and Abe Middleton and But
Ter talk of carrying the amendment to
the courts just so long will the amend
ment be an issue, and the negro question
come up.
In other words as there is danger just
so long will there be precaution.
The negro question cannot be kept out
OF this campaign.
Mckinley is the issue. Mckinley is a
known lover of negro office holders. He
keeps them in office when they are cor
rupt and dishonest and he appointed them
to office over the protests of good white
men and white women.
So, as long as Mckinley is running,
just so long will the negro issue come
TO the front.
Mckinley and his negro postmasters and
revenue clerks are just as Objectionable
to our people as Marion Butler and his
negro school committeeman, and justices
of the peace. We know of but one way or
getting rid of them. Vote them out.
Plating a negro postmaster with tinsel
of gold standard does not make him less
Objectionable to our people.
When the Republican party in North
Carolina declares that lit will abide by
the amendment and in convention de-
clares for rule of the white man; when
Butler and Pritchard quit maligning our
people on the floor of the Senate for
trying to get rid of negro postmasters.
trying to get rid of the negroes, when
Mckinley quits appointing negro post
masters and collectors and Duncan quits
running negro clerks, then it will be time
to talk about dropping the negro question.
AS long as the negro question is before
us in practical form, postmasters and
other officers, then the negro question is
unsettled
Not single Republican Congressional
Convention in this State will declare in
favor of the amendment and against ne
gro officeholders.
These thoughts will show when the ne
gro question is settled. 1t will depend
mainly on the white allies of the negro.
Threats OF voting for Mckinley will not
scare the men who are undertaking to
settle this question. This matter enters
all our avenues of life and to cry out that
it rs settled does not do the work by
any means.
We want it settled. When Republican
State Convention meets and accepts the
work of more than a million white peo-
pie then the settlement will be at hand.
At any rate the matter is not settled
as long as 125,OOO ignorant negroes can
be voted by Holton and Abe Middleton
and Butler.
Let us at least wait until July 1st, 1902,
before the amendment is declared.
This State will go for Bryan and elect
nine Democratic Congressman.
