BUTLER'S PLAN.

Butler, the tremendous constitution
al lawyer and statesman from Gum
Swamp in Sampson, is doing what he
can to plan, in order to save his seat
in the senate. If he should succeed
then indeed will North Carolina be
sorely afflicted. 1t is known in Wash
ington what his plan is. 1t is just
what he has uncovered in his late in
cendiary, traitorOus harangue at Raj
eigh. We called him BombasteS Furi-
oso. But he really is something of a
would-be Robespiere, but in a very
small Casa cas- of misfit. A Wash
ington correspondent of The Atlanta
Evening Journal says:
"One of his close populist friends
here. a North Carolina employee of the
senate, said to me today:
Butler is going to organize q, cen-
bination with the republicans to light
the proposed franchise amendments in
that state, and we are certain of de-
feating it. Butler is also going ito stand
for reelection to the senate, and will
effect combinations that will take the
democrats by surprise"
Nothing "can take the democrats by
surprise so far as this fellows antics
are concerned. 1t is hardly possible
hal there is to be found a man
of ordinary sense in North Carolina
that has the slightest confidence in his
integrity and sincerity. If there is one
it is because he does not know the
Shiny trickster. The same correspond
ent reports what is probably true. He
writes: Democratic members in CON-
gress say that Pritchard and Butler
canno organize an effective organiza-
ton again, and that the state is now
and for all time overwhelmingly dem
ocratic."
We used to think Butler was a little
edition of Benedict Arnold, but af-
ter reading what he said in his ha-
rangue at Raleigh he is more of a con-
spirator. Let us join hands with
the republicans and whip the demo-
cratic) gang out of the state" When
Butler begins the work there will be
some $50, 900 white men anxious to be
there to see. Some n writes. to Raj
eign News and Observer:
What gang Mr.. Butler. it is that
you propose 20 whip from the State?'
1t is the mnr whose forebears have
made the state great in peace and ter
rible in war from the day that IT was
carved from the wilderness and claim
ed from avage Did it occur to you
when you were utrering this jaunty
threat that these men have never been
whipped in all their history? They are
mortal and may be killed; they can not
be cowed. Their number is limited and
they may he o~verpowered: they can
not be whipped"
If Butler begins his deviliSh foolish
ness there viii be a great deal more of
likelihood that the White gang will
drive him from the state" and AL
who may be stupid and malicious
enough to follow his crazy leadership.

THE RAWLINGS OF a POLITICAL
LUNATIC.

senator Chandler, of somewhere in
New England, has been in all of his
political history the fixed and fast en-
envy of the south. He is a hornet to
sting, and a ire-brand to scatter false
hoods and anderS He is a lovely
specimen to be arraigning the venera-
BILE n great southron, Senator Nor
gan for daring to discuss an historical
fact, and to charge him with malign-
ing the whole north. New England
would never nave fired a gun at the
south but for it's abolition virus with
which smitten. New England talked of
secession during the first term of the
illustrious W~ashington's administra-
ton. 1t talked glibly treason Chat
is what it called the same thing when
the south wished to peaceably with
draw from 1905, to the time much later
on when Josiah Quincy threatened Sc
cession for New England upon the floor
of the American congress. 1t was the
niger in the w~ood-pile' that fired
New England and caused it's Internal
crusade against the south. Chandler
knows all that unless he is a hopeless
ignorant ass. 1t is historic. No doubt
New England was glad all over when
the war ended disastrously to the weak
south, over run by 2,70O,0 900 rio en-
emies burning n pillaging, and they
could wreak their vengeance and with
a cruel design to put negro slaves on a
political and social footing of equality
with the southern whites" to quote the
irate and. spiteful northerner.
There are a great many lies circuia-
tee in the north relative to the war,
that are as baseless as lies usually are.
One Of these is the offer of Lincoln to
pay for the slaves in the south. But
no such offer was ever made 1t is
equally false as to the congress passing
an act to compensate slave-owners.
h congress abolished slavery in the
District of Columbia and passed n 18th
April 1862, an act to pay loyal own

Those fellows la met, Rugged, kissed

II BOER

The British ave again met with a
defeat that may be serious to them
and may mean a great deal to the
Beers. The fighting for seven days
has resulted in a British defeat with
great loss. Whether it is owing in
part to bad generalShip on one side
and good generalship on the other
side does not yet appear, but it is GER
tain that, to use a coarse slang but
expressive, they have bitten off more
than they can chaw." We I've but
very little of what has actually hap
pened, for the censorship on the part of
the British is most rigid. We shall
know more from the Boer accounts
when they come by way of Germany
or France. The cry in England again
is: More troops to the 'front.'" AL
ready they have in Africa, we suppose,
fully 140, 900 men, with some -, 900 on
the way. But they do not appear to
have enough to make good their plans
and to overwhelm the Beers. We sus-
pect that in the United States there
are two or five sympathizerS with the
men fighting on their own soil for lib
erty, independence and their homes,
h for one for the invaders. In a
republic based theoretically on these
things it is quite natural that it
should be so. A dispatch dated Lon
don on the oath represented that the
Beers claimed to nave inflicted already
heavy losses on the enemy. A dispatch
from Pretoria, Of the 23rd, said:
-Four or five times during the day
the British replaced their carried SOL
diers by fresh ones. The Boer casual
ties to date are one nan killed aud
W men slightly wounded. Our men
are in excellent spirits. There has been
a large slaughter of British. General

a BILL TO INCREASE PAY.

The workman is worthy of his hire"
Ii is SO with the clerks in the postal
service OF Uncle Sam He Is very lfb-
eral in paying a certain class OF work
ers. But he does not pay according To
actual service or according to actual
merit. He pays some too much Tor
what they do. and others too little
Perhaps the postal clerks are under
paid. It is the opinion Of many n q
they are not paid enough, not according
TO labor. danger and responsibility
There was a bill in. the before
to help his large class. The present
speaker OF the house. Henderson. was
strongly urgent for its adoption But
il failed TO go through because some
southern man a / hat the job could
be done for $500 per head. The new bill
looks TO Reconsideration according TO re-
sponsibility, labor. experience. value or
service. etc.
The bill divides the clerks into ten
classes. The pay OF the first class Is
not 10 exceed $500 a year: the second
class. $500: the third class, $1,000; the
fourth class, ] LOO; the fifth. $1,000; the
sixth. $780,: the seventh. $t.400, the
eighth. i .500: the ninth. $500, and the
tenth. s1,Se0. In addition, the bill pro-
poses that the postal clerks who work
six days a week. and ffty-two weeks
a year shall have an annual vacation
OF fifteen days. with pay.
We cannot say as TO whether this
scheme of payment is in excess. We
are for paying what is right, but do
not favor fringes and flowers a
men in the public service live and let
live salaries, but no f~oolishness. The
Charleston News and Courier favors the
passage of the bill and says:
THE bill has the heartiest approval
