THE P0PULIsf PARTY.
From Morning News.

From Morning News.
There are many men who remember
the GrseAback craze Of generation ago,
when the party was aDle to capture even
Maine and for time kept the politicians
guessing. But the craze came to an end
and the old Greenback party is almost
forgotten.
Its successor was the Popalist party
and its currency scheme had mainly to
do with the free coinage OF silver. Now
the Populist party has been twice de-
feated in the country at large and it may
be expected to find resting place by the
side Of the Greenback party. Kansas,
the hot-bed OF Populism, has discarded
the party and is now in the Republican
ranks to stay.

The Work of Removing the Electric

The Town Will Ee Without Electric
Lights for About Two Weeks.
Work will commence next
Monday on the removal of the
electric light plant from the

essitate shut down for about

electric light will do we'll to
bear this in mind and have

ing this time.
A new and larger engine

be installed and this, together
with the power saved by NOV
ing the plant nearer the center
Of town, will greatly increase
the capacity Of the plant, and
as orders fol many more lights

creased.
1t is a good move and one
which will be an advantage
both to consumers and the

made without any extra cost

"A letter from Ogden e. Edwards, who
was United States consul in Manila in
1856 and 1856, and who afterward' lived
there for twenty years, was read before
the Methodist preachers meeting this
morning, says the New York Evening
Post. 1t set forth the extremely temper
ate habits of the spaniards and Fiiipinos.
In 1t Mr.. Edwards says: During my
long residence in the Philippines, / rare
ly saw a drunken native or Spaniard.
Certainly not more than two or three in
a year. In crowds Of 10000 people not
one would be seen or heard. To call a
Spanlard a drunkaTd was a much great
err insult than TO call him a liar The
principal drink was Tuba and the gin
shaks' mentioned by Chaplain Pierce. Lit
tie else than this harmless beverage was
sold. The great point is that from 1852
to 1893, the range Of my personal knowl-
edge of the Islands, drunkenness was
practically unknown among the natives
or Spaniards. The Spanish cafes sold
mostly Spanish wines, and men would sit
an hour chatting over a glass or two Of
wine and smoking, in front Of, or in
them, with never a sign OF intoxicaaion.
Nothing like the American saloon was
ever known in Manila, while / lived
there" Mr.. Edwards heartily indorsed
the remark of President Schurman. in
which he expressed regret that the Amer
leans allowed the saloon to get foot
hold on the Islands.

Situation in North Carolina.
In North Carolina where the spectacle
has been presented of fusion between the
Republicans and Populists the two par
ties are going into this years campaign
with separate tickets. This refers partic-
ularly to the state campaign which is al
ready being waged with great bitterness.
The Republicans are now in session at
Raleigh. All overtures for fusion on state
officers failed, but the Democrats of that
state are beginning to believe that the
failure was not unintentioDal The great
fight in the cold North State" is over
the proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton which is designed to eliminate the
ignorant and illiterate black vote 1t is
presumed that one reason which prompted
the Populist and Republican leaders to
decide upon Independent tickets is that
while they may not be able to elect state
officers, they will, by running independent
tickets be able to pole a larger vote
against the constitutional amendment
than they would otherwise It is expected
that every man who votes either a Repub-
lican or Popuhst ticket will cast his
ballot against the constitutional amend
ment. They figure out that were there
fusion some Populists would refuse to vote
the fusion ticket and so would some Re-
publicans; but acting independently thew
expect to poll every one of these votes
against the Acknowledgement amendment.
