HOME FOLKS

Butler is not only a sorry politician
but is a very sorrowful demagogue and
his record now being overhauled, makes
this miserable trickster and time-ser-
yer more sorrowful daily. On End of
July, 1892, he published in his Clinton
dirty sheet with the absurd misnomer
an editorial on Pure Democracy and
White Supremacy" He opposed fu-
sion, he favored the democracy, he i'm
plored the populists to support the
democratic nominee for governor. Here
is an extract that shows hat once
Butler had some sense, some preset
ence, and was not below a patriotic
desire to serve North Carolina. But
how fallen now, He then wrote:

ticket? Nothing. but much to lose, let
the result be hat it may. If you
elect your ticket, you do it at the suf-
ferance of the republican party, and
you are at their mercy now and in the
future. If you are the cause of the re-
publican party capturing the state you
have given a heavy blow to the cause
of reform and put the management of
your state in unworthy and incapable
hands. Let not those who want office

Marion Butler is at his DID tricks.
He spoke for four hours at S~tatesvilIe
and lied like a trooper. The Landmark
exposed his usual bitter speech Of de-
n~unciation, ~equivocation and straight
out misstatement of facts. He put in
a good part of his four hours time
talking about democrats not meeting
him in joint discussion n incidentally
boasting of his own power as a de
batter" His attack upon Mr.. c. B.
Aycock, Hon. John Bellamy and Col.

false to be repeated. We give this

"If anything was needed to dem
Onstrate the inability of our pres
ent form Of government to cope
with the new conditions we have
entered into, it is the disgraceful
frauds of the Cuban postal depart
ment. For a long time thinking
people, who have large commercial
interests, have felt unsafe with our
present form of government.
#**Now is a good time to do
away with our old obsolete consti-
tuition and adopt form of govern
ment that will be logical with our
new expansion ideas and will give
ample protection to capital. ***A
constitutional monarchy is prob
ably the most desirable plan that
we can now adopt. Everything is
ripe for the change. We have a
large army and it can be increased
under almost any pretext without
causing any alarm to the masses.
***The strong iron hand of discip-
line will have to be used to bring
the masses to a sense of proper be-
havior. ***Our constitution is
largely the expression of French
revolutionary ideas; ideas suggest

to be expected from the Republi-
cans at this time. That the policy
of the Republican leaders has been
to overthrow the Republic has been
apparent for some time, but it was
hardly expected that they would
admit it in the progress of Presi-
Dental campaign. "For a long
time thinking people, who have
large commercial interests, have
felt unsafe with our present form
of government" Indeed But
what about the dumb, driven la
borer? Is government for no 9th
er purpose than to "give ample pro-
lection to capital?" That is the
theme of the Republican party.
Why need the already large army
be increased? No other construc-
tion can be put on it, that in case
of Democratic success at the polls
this fall they will inaugurate a rev.
olution and undertake to establish
a monarchy. Kentucky furnishes
an example that they are willing
and ready to resort to bayonet and
assassination in order to rule.

l don't blame the rich idler, the
worthless !. absorber of labor's
wealth, to favor "ample protection

their unearned boards depends up
on the continued ignorance and
abasement Of the iaborer. But the
fact that the men who toll and pro-
duce wealth for the plutes and de-
ny themselves actual necessities
still vote the Republican ticket,
can only be accounted for on the

THE JEW AS SOLDIER
Mark Twain's Fine Tribute to
the Modern Fighting
Men of Israel.

| INV VI VIZ hhNoe w 49,
Jew as a soldier is paid by Mark
in his latest book, "The Man That
Corrupted Hadleyburg and other
Stories" 1t is an addition to an
article entitled Concerning the
Jews published in Harper's Mag
azine last September. In the az
ticle the great American treated
the conspicuous attitude of the
Jew in the worlds story and its
impress upon civilization. In the
course. of the first paper he had
something to say about the Jew as
soldier. He frankly stated that
he did not think the modern jew
had record as soldier.
In the following paper he makes
amends fer this statement:
"When l published the above
article Concerning the Jews) in
Harper's Monthly 1 was ignorant
like the rest of the Christian
world-of the fact that the Jew
had record as soldier. / have
since seen the official statistics,
and / find that he furnished sol
diers and high officers to the Revo-
luton, the war of 1872 and the
Mexican war. In the civil war he
was represented in the armies and
navies of both the North and South
by 10 per cent. of his numerical
strength--the same percentage that
was furnished by the Christian
population of the two sections; for
| it means that the Jews patriotism
was not merely level with the Chris
tians', but overpassed it.
When the Christian volunteer ar
rived in camp he got a welcome
and applause, but, as a rule, the
Jew got a snub. His company
was not desired, and he was made
to feel it. That he, nevertheless,
conquered his wounded pride and
sacrificed both that and his blood
for his flag raises the average and
quality of his patriotism above the
Christians. His record for capac-
ity, for fidelity and for gallant sol
diership in the field is as good as
any ones. This is true of the jew
ish private soldiers and the jew
ish Generals alike. Maj. Gen, o.
o. Howard speaks of one of his
Jewish staff officers as being of
the bravest and best;' Of another
killed at Chancellorsville-as being
"a true friend and brave officer;
he highly praises two of his Briga-
dier Generals; finally he uses these
strong words: 'Intrinsically there
are to be found no more patriotic
men in the coutry than those who
claim to be of Jewish decent, and
who served with me in parallel
commands or more directly under
my Instructions
SIN the above article l was not
able to endorse the common re
proach that the Jew is willing to
feed upon a country, but not will
ing to fight for it, because | did
not know whether it was false OF
true. / supposed it to be true, but
it is not allowable to endorse wan
dering maxims upon supposition-
except when one is trying to make
out case. That slur upon the
jew cannot hold UP its head in the
presence of the figures Of the War
Department. 1t has done its work,
and done it long and faithfully and
with high approval; it ought to be
pensioned off now, and retired from
active service"

The great trouble is that the
press and the pulpit haven't the
gizzard to stand out boldly for the
right. Their spinal column hasn't
the starch to face without mincing
the TRADE of abuse that the capi-

to call their soul their own, they
meekly subside and apologize when
they are accused of "arraying labor
against capital" F" stirring up dis
content among labor" and all such
cries. Those are the very things
they ought to do and be proud of
if successful. Why should labor
not be arrayed against capilat,
when labor produces all wealth and
hands over teen-twentieths to a
set of idlers who do nothing use.
full? The idlers (capitalists) do
not even care whether those who
give them their wealth are even
properly fed and clothed. Dare
any man claiming to be both sane
and honest urge that the laborer,
who daily wears his life away for a
mere subsistence in order that the
rich may roll in luxury, should be
content? Under natural condi-
tions labor is not dependent upon,
but produces capital.
