A VERY COSTLY VICTORY.

That was a very proper thing in the
Buncombe county Democratic convention
to denounce Richmond Pearson because he
has UNANIMOUSLY slandered and caused to
be slandered our honored fellow citizen,
J. Harry Martin, a man of unblemished
character" 1t will prove costly victory
for Pearson, if he succeeds in getting his
seat by the methods which gave him
The mountain people of all parties are
indignant because 10, 500 white voters
have been disfranchised, and because the
committee has recommended that Pear
son be given a seat to which Crawford
was elected
1t is notorious that the most homes
elections in the world are held III the
mountain counties of North Carolina. In
recent years, the Democrats have carried
that district twice and the Republicans
twice, always by small majorities There
has not before been a contest, the de-
feated party and candidate always sub
hitting cheerfully TO the will of the ma
jority. AS Pearson was the first to
change the old time methods of election
.eering in the district, so he is also the
first to appeal to a partisan House to
override the will of the voters. He may
get his seat in the House, but if so il
will be victory that will prove his un-
doing.
The acknowledgements Of 1880 white
voters in the Ninth district by party
that is dishonesty trying to make the
voters believe that the Democrats want
10 disfranchise white voters is poor way
to begin the campaign Iof deception.
The Democrats declare openly that ii
is their purpose to disfranchise the host
of ignorant negro voters and their de-
termination not to disfranchise single
white man.
The Republicans, through Pearson, de-
clare it to be their purpose by their acts
to disfranchise 1880 white voters while
holding on to all the negro voters.

If usurping Governor Taylor were not
himself particeps criminis in the assas-
sination of Goebel he would not resist the
officers of law who wish to try men
charged with murder. If they are inno-
cent, they would be acquitted. Taylor
shows his guilt in his continued defiance
of law. Hanging is too good for him, but
we hope the Kentucky Democrats will
continue to be ruled by the marvellous
moderation and self-restraint which have
characterized all their actions.

At Burke Criminal court, the Southern
railway was found guilty of issuing
passes to T. Newton Halleyburton and
Samuel Huffman during the session of the
Legislature when it was importing citi-
zens free, contrary TO law, to fight the
anti-lease bill Both the recipients are
leading Republicans of Burke. The Judge
fined the Southern railway $4,000 in each
case. Appeals were taken to the Su
preme court. 1t came out in the evil
dence that at least one of the passes
were furnished at the request of State
Senator Hyatt, who voted with the rail-
road. This case shows that it is wise to
forbid legislators using free passes or
railroads to grant them. Free pass legis-
lators and free pass lobbyists are evils
which ought to be abated.

was when Coxey sold out to Hanna open

third is the nomination of Debs and Har-

IGNORES THE LESSON.
Defeat Seems to Have Had No
Disciplinary Effect Upon WaE-
Jaw Bryan.

William j. Bryan lately made at
Omaha, Neb., the speech which, it was
announced, opens the Bryan campaign
for another nomination for the presi-
dency. Just as if he did not begin his
campaign for denomination as soon as
he was defeated in 1896. Since that time
Bryan has done nothing but declaim
against the gold standard in speeches
paid for at gold standard rates, al
though this has compelled some mat
tent4on to his former practice as
lawyer and newspaper reporter.
Mr.. Brgan's latest salutatory reads
very much like continuance of his
campaign speeches of 1896. He still
sees nothing but ruin ahead of his
country because it prefers dollar dol
lars to Accent dollars. He has changed
his figure of speech. That is all. AS Mr..
Bryan has large stock of figures of
speech it is not difficult for him TO
make that change. Labor hanging to
1.-The cross of gold" at Chicago, and clip
ping off large sections of that cross
for the weekly pay-envelope, has be-
come at Omaha "a captive to Europe's
golden chariot" but is still on the trail
of gold, just as much as if he were
lecturer or a book writer. From the
cross to the chariot is getting a little
nearer to earth, but Bryan has not
got rid of his wheels yet.

A NEW NOTE FROM BRYAN.
The Nebraska POpOphOne Is Now
Giving Forth Different
Sound.

Washington correspondents tell us
that democratic senators and represent
atives are totally at sea with regard
to the dominant issues of their party,
and they are impatiently awaiting w.
j. Bryan's appearance at the capital.
Time was when these influential gentle
men rather resented the candidates
advice and direction, and if they are
now eager for his counsel and guidance,
their perpleXity must be extreme in
deed. When they had issues, or thought
they had them-which is the same
thing, according to so good an author
ity as old Shakespeare-they expert
enced no difficulty in determining
which of them was preeminent and
overshadowing and which were second
airy. Now that they have a sickly and
wretched collection of ''back num-
bers" to choose from, they are anxious
for Bryan's support and leadership.
But the democratic politicians at
Washington will not have to remain in
suspense very long. The keynote-the
one hundredth, we believe-is to be
sounded tonight at the Jackson day
banquet of the Bryan league. The Ne
braska candidate will be the guest of
honor, and he is to have carte blanche,
Oratorically speaking. He will have
unlimited time and free choice as to sub
ject. As this is presidential year, eX-

Bryan sprang into nOtoriety with
one song, and he cannot refrain from
singing it. This is unfortunate for his
prospects, for it recalls his predictions.
The election of Mckinley was to mean
adversity; it has meant uneXampled
prosperity. The farmer was to lose his
all; he has paid every mortgage. This
country was to become the slave of
London and Berlin, but both are max
iGg to us profound obeisance.
Bryan has learned nothing from de-
feat But he will find, as he sings his
old song over again, that what he has
mistaken for an encore was the APP
plause of the people for the next act.

Triumph of DfpIOmaev.

Practically all the great nations in
terested in the commerce of China have
given written assurances to the United
States regarding G the preservation of the
open door in that country. All will work
to keep the trade of China open to all
the world on the same terms. This is
what the United States asks. 1t neith-
er wants any territory in China nor
would accept any even if it were ten
dered by the people inhabiting it, and
were urged on the country's acceptance
by all the nations of Europe. Meth
er does it want any especial favOrs in
the Chinese trade. All that it seeks is
that the trade remain open to all coun-
tries on the same terms, and this is
now assured by the guarantees of the
principal countries concerned. This is
a diplomatic triumph which will re-
fleet glory on the Mckinley administers
tion.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
