A notable incident occurred il

A notable incident occurred in
connection with the democratic
Congressional Convention at Alex
andria. Two old colored men from
Culpeper, Cato Lewis and John
Tibbs, were in Jail unable to pay a
fine of 500 each, which had been
imposed on them by Judge Waddill
in the United States under false
pretenses. The negroes were aged
and penniless and no probability ex-
listed of being able to pay the fine and
get out of Jail. A considerable del
egation from Culpeper Co., attendend
the convention and two of them as
certalned that these old negroes had
been the slaves of their fathers before
the war. These gentlemen went to
the Jail, paid the 5000, and, taking
the colored men to the train, paid
their fares to their home in Culpeper.

Like the American press at the close
of the Spanish war, the British pa
pers are now full of severe criticisms
of the medical department of The
South African war. 1t is charged
that wounded men and men down
with fever are treated with neglect
and cruelty. Owing to the serious
complication in China, the eyes of
the world hsye drifted to the Flow
cry Kingdom, and the campaign in
South Africa goes on now with slight
mention in the newspapers. The
fighting there is only desultory, and
only one important engagement has
been fought since Roberts entered
Pretoria. The Beers seem to be car
rying on very successful guerrilla
warfare, and it is doubtful that the
British will ever completely subiu-
gate them.
DeWet, in operating guerrilla war
fare, is compared with our Mosby,
and is said with his six or seven
thousand men SO Aampered Roberts
$4,000, that move by the latter was
always attended with great danger.
A late dispatch from South Africa
confirms the surrender of Gen. Prisi-
no with 5000 Beers. This, it is be-
lieved, brings the end of the war in
sight.

Democratic Ticket.

Not in 1860 were the issues pre-
sented to the American people to be
decided at the polls, and later on
unhappily,upon the battlefield, grsver
and more momentus than those pre-
sented for decision now, says the
Baltimore Sun. Not since 1877,
when the present constitution of the
United States was submitted for
consideration and ratification by the
thirteen original ststes have issues
more pregnant with the future wei
fare of the country, more frsught
with interest to mankind and to the
world at large, been submitted to the
popular vote. They relate to the
very foundations, the fundamental
principles, of our Government. and
not of this Government only, but of
popular Government throughout the
world, since they involve the reaf-
hrmatlon or rejection of the Decla-
ration of Independence. Is this to
be government of freemen, or free
and equal citizens and free States?
Or is it to be a government partly
of subject races and vasssl States?
1t is true that call men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life,
liberty and pursuit of happiness;
that to secure these rights govern
ments are instituted among men, de-
irving their just powers from the
consent of the governed" These
principles, which our forefathers in
1776 declared to be "self evident
truths" the Republican party by it's
policy and President Mckinley by
his acts have called in question.
The Democratic party today, no mat
ter what its shortcomings or its er-
rors in other respects, stands for the
reaffirmation and enforcement of
these principles of the fathers.

Mr.. W. j. Bryan has accepted the
invitation to attend the Grand Army
encampment at Chicago next month.
Captain Kreg, of the United States

years of Spanish rule.
Snow fell at Marshall. Michigan,
for few minutes during the course
of n high wind storm. The wind did
much damage, blowing down or,

King Humbert of Italy has fallen
a victim to an sssassin's bullet. On
Sunday while entering his carriage at
Mouza, where he witnessed the distri-
button of prizes in connection with
some gymnastic competition, he was
fred at three times by an anarchist.
All the bullets took effect and one
pierced his heart, killing him in
stantly. The assassin gives his name
as Angelo Bressi. The spread of an
archism in the European capitals is
becoming more extensive every year,
and the lives of the European sover-
eigns are in constant danger.
Although our country is democrat
ic, we may be taught lesson by this
deplorable condition in Europe. The
unchecked grinding and criminal
evils of certain trusts, the questions
bic and hlgh-handed uses some of the
rich men make of their money, and
the strikes of labor organizations, al
have tendency to plant the seeds Of
anarchy in our land, if it now is no
planted. Once it flourishes we feal
the result.

The latest news from China COM
firms the safety of the foreign legs-
tions in Pekin on July 22nd. The in
formation is said to have come from
the British minister, Sir Claude Nc
Donald. IL is further stated that an
srmistice now exists between the le-
cations and their beseigers. and that no
fighting has occurred since July 10.
Sixty-two foreigners have fallen in
defense of the legations. 1t is said
that the Chinese will hold the foreign
legations SIS hostages to secure guar
antee from the Powers that they will
make no effort to dismember the Chi
nese Empire.
The Powers have been delayed put
ting an expedition on foot to save the
legations through jeslousies. If that
condition continues to prevail, let
United States act independently, with
draw part of her troops from the
Philippines, and march to Pekin aud
rescue our citizens ncarcerated there.

The general State election and
constitutional franchise amendment,
which the people of North Carolina
will decide at the polls this week, is
creating a great deal of excitement in
that State, The Constitu tional
amendment, if ratified, will disfran-
chise many illiterate negro voters,
and consequently the feeling between
the white man and negro is intense.
No serious trouble is expected.

If Gov. Roosevelt continues his
campaign of vituperstion aud mud
singing, his war title, Rough Rid
er," which he so proudly vsunts to
the breezes, will be readjusted so as
to read Rough talker." His slings
of insult at the democratic voters are
not calculated to make many of them
change faith. The noble Gen. Law
ton, who fell at the front for his flag:
Admirsls Schley and Dewey, who
carved Americans naval feats high
up on the wall of fame; Gen. Joe
Wheeler, who vertically won the bat
tie of San Juan, aud score of 9TH
ers, whose names are dearer to the
hearts of true American citizens than
the republican Vice President candi-
date, are some of the men whom Mr..
Roosevelt says, "stand for lawless-
ness, for dishonesty and dishonor, for
license and disaster al
home and cowardly shrinking of duty
abroad" Well, all we ask is that
the republicans keep him unmuzzled
and continue to give him full use of
his tongue and brain, and he will
talk his party and himself to death.

The gold democrats, or third tick

The gold democrats, or third tick
ct movement, in convention at In
dianapolis, decided not to put tick
ct in the field. This determination
on the part of that organization we
are glad to see and think eminently
wise. 1t is good sign of the united
condition of the democratic party.
Let the regular organization extend
the glad hand to our roaming broth
ers and invite them back in the par
ty. Do not agitate the money ques-
ton around them, but talk imperial
ism-the issue all democrats can
unite on. The democratic party lost
more votes in 1896 on account of the
money plank. than there ever was IN
the populist party and ever will be.
