The Issues.

The leading paramount issue btween the
Democratic and expansion, imperialistic
and trust forces, is not bi-metallism,
though that is one issue. The bi-metalic
question is shclved, for several years, at
least, or fixed so that it cannot be chang
Ell. If Bryan is elected and a Democratic
House of Representatives is elected they
can do nothing with that. For ma
jority of the Senate for the next four
years is against a change
The real and important issue is imperi-
alism in military expansion, and imperi-
alism in trusts, dominating business, fix
ing prices of food, etc. For instance, su-
gar is now higher than it has been for
years, enabling the sugar trust to make
at least twenty millions of dollars a
year.
Foreign wars Of great expense, stand
ing armies, military despotism, are the
things the Republican party favors
Banking privileges also, that give the
National Banks control of the currency,
is one of their pet measures.
The Democrats oppose these schemes
Of oppression to the country at large, and
favor economical administration, low
tariff, attending to home business and
not meddling with the affairs of foreign
nations, etc. p. D. GOLD.

Rev. c. G. Vardell, the president of
Red Springs Female Seminary, is a re-
markable man. He is one man who re-
fuses to leave his State for a greatly in
creased salary. Recently he was Offer
cd $1,000 year to take charge of a
school for girls in another State, and
upon refusing to accept the position, he
was asked to name the salary for which
he would go. This he declined TO do,
preferring to remain in North Carolina

Civil Service Regulations Are Now
Being Revised Specially For
the Negroes Benefit.
NUMBER OF OFFICE HOLDERS
TO BE INCREASED FOU2-F0LD
Senator GrOsvenor Gives, in Speech in the
Senate, Some Of the More important Posi-
tons to Which the Negro Has Been
Appointed in the South.

Mckinley, more than any man who
is the negroes candidate.
And why? Because Mckinley has ap
pointed more blacks to office than were
ever appointed by any of his predeces-
sors. Many of the best places in the
Federal service at the South are now
held for the first time by negroes.
Senator Grosvenor, speaking for the
President, recently had this to say in a
speech in the Senate, touching MIR. Nc
Kinley and what he has done toward put
ting The negro in office in the South:
When VIC have learned to appreciate
that three years ago the negro had in the
Army only officers and ALA privates
and that one year ago he had 266 officers
and 15,04S privates, we must know that
inestimable benefit has come to the race.
Among the officers are to be found many
of the brightest minds of the race Fully
so per cent of those in authority come
from the best known and most influential
families in the land. Their contact with
and influence upon their superior officers
will be sure to raise the negro in the
popular esteem and do incalculable good.
Some of these men are colonels at So, 500
per annum, lieutenant colonels at $4,000,
majors at $4,000, captains (mounted) at
$4,000, captains (not mounted) at $1,S00,
first lieutenants (mounted) at $1,000, first
lieutcnants fnot mounted) at $1,000, etc.
FINANCIALLY CONSIDERED.
Now let us consider the financial side
&C the question. The colored citizens had
during the war 266 officers, approximated,
and fair average of salaries, at $1,000,
$425 600, 4,754 privates, at $208, $3,075,472;
5000 men employed as drivers cooks,
servants. laborers. etc. at $3.50 per year,
81, $50 ,00O Total, $4,751,07
Add to this the honor attached to the
following names and POSITIONS Col. j. r.
Marshall, of Illinois; Col. James Young,
OF North Carolina; Col. J. M. Brown, of
Kansas; Lieutenant Colonel Taylor OF
North Carolina Maj. John r. Lynch, of
Mississippi; Mai. r. r. Wright, of Geor-
gia; Maj. Charles Young, of Ohio; Major
Haywood, of North Carolina Major Walk
er, of North Carolina.
State Department, $4,000; Navy De-
partment, $4,000; War Department, $780,
900; Treasury Department, $780, 900; Ag-
ricutural and Executive Departments,
$4,000, and we have the following:

REHABILITATION.

Then, when we shall have added the
salaries of the hundreds of postmasters,
deputy postmasters, collectors of customs,
collectors Of internal revenue, with their
thousands of deputies, the numerous
watchmen, custodians of public buildings
in many States, three supervisors of cen
sus. and at least $50 enumerators with an
average pay of $50 each, we can readily
figure the enormous sum of Sc 900, 900
salary drawn by the negro under the
openhanded and generous Administration
of William Mckinley!
PROMINENT COLORED MEN IN THE
COUNTRY'S SERVICE
The following is n partial list of colored
men and women in the service of the
country, appointed in every instance by
President Mckinley or those acting under
his instructions. And here it is proper
to say that while Mr.. Mckinley has been
deeply engrossed with the most intricate
problems of statecraft, he has not been
unmindful of the just claims of the race.
He has distributed the official rewards
with rare tact and judgment, and no ec
ment which assisted in the masterful
triumph of 1896 is without representation.
The negro vote has Jared handsomely at
his hands. Colored men of intelligence
and character have been selected from
every section of the country to fill posi-

made during the last few days. however,
wakened them suddenly to the fact that he
was very much In earnest In regard to the
carrying out Of that promise.
Bearing IN mind the immense amount OF in
