THE PASSING OF BUTLER.

Tie election yesterday puts an end
to the political career of Marion But
Ter. He had stalled everything on the
result and must read in the election
returns, "Thou art weighed in the
balance and found wanting"
Ordinarily defeat of his party does
not mean political destruction for a
public official, for if he fails when
his party is defeated he succeeds
again when it is victorious. 1t is an
inhalation for Butler because he fore
ed his party machinery into an unholy
alliance for selfish ends by which he
has destroyed his party in North Car
lima in the unsuccessful effort to OBJ
tain al1soffice at the hands of the Re-
publican party. The same unscrupu-
lous men and the same corrupt meth
DDS that were used to elect Mckinley
were used to secure a Legislature to
keep Butler in the Senate, and. he
was in the very front employing the
agencies of corruption that every
true Democrat and every true Popu-
list denounced in 1896. Against the
will of those Populists who care more
for reform than for ofnce, Butler COM
United his party against the amend
ment and amalgamated it with the
gold and negro party. If the contest
had been merely one over Offices, this
prostitution of the Populist party
might not have been fatal, but as it
was question that went to the very
mud-sill of Southern civilization, the
failure to put the Populist party in
line with Southern thought and the
preservation of intelligent rule was
a crime from which no man and no
party can recover in the life of this
generation.
There is only one objectionable sin
in Southern politics. The white man
who uses the solid negro vote to rise
into power over the will of the ma
jority of white votes commits this I'M
pardonable sin, and for him there is
no forgiveness. When to this crime,
Butler added the resolute fight to pre-
vent the legal elimination of the negro
vote, he courted the contempt of his
fellows. No Southern man who has put
the negro in office over the white
man has been able to survive it. Ma
hone, with his prestige as a great
Confederate soldier and his large
business connections, found that when
he would stay in power by an appeal
to the negro vote, his own soldiers,
men who would have died for him in
battle, turned upon him and fought
to accomplish his political death.
This intense feeling is not based
upon partisanship or race creed, but
upon sound and fundamental prin-
ciple. Experience has taught the peo-
pie that the only way that the two
races can live in the South on terms
of peace and friendship is for the
WulUtS 10 Iule. Whenever lllSlI ruiz
is replaced with the rule of the negro
or his allies, bad government, cor
ruption and intolerable conditions fol
low. Knowing this, the Southern
white men stand as one man in eter-
nal hostility to negro rule in whole or
in part, and in united opposition to
any man who imposes such govern
ment upon them. Malone Went to
his grave unforgiven for his crime.
The same fate awaits Butler. tits in
store for any other man who walks
in their footsteps. $4,000

One of the best introductions during
the whole campaign was the introduction
of Mai. w. A. Guthrie at Concord on
"wednesday by Mr.. M. H. II. Caldwell. In
the early days, before Butler sold the
Populist party cut to the Republicans,
Major Guthrie and Mr.. Caldwell were
| leading Populists, but in THIS campaign
they have fought with great ability and
zeal with their Democratic friends. In
! presenting Major Guthrie to the audience,
Mr. Caldwell said;

that in the neighborhood where the

Vault.
Des Moines, Iowa, June s.-The Saw
ings bank at Sheldahl, twenty miles
north of here, was blown up by four
robbers, who secured $1,000 and es-
capped after holding fifty or more citi-
zens at bay with rifles. Shortly aftac
midnight, a terrible explosion shook
the town and Immediately the inhabi-
tants turned out to learn the cause. A
glance up the main street showed the
building of the savings bank in ruins
and the timbers burning. Fifty citizens
rushed to the scene and were met by
the cleaning barrels Of two rifles in
the hands of two strangers, who or
dered the citizens to halt, and kept
them at bay while two others pro-
ceeded to loot the banks safe. The
four strangers then made their escape.

says positively thar his mother was
shot first. After she was down he
thinks she was shot again. Then his
father was shot. Wise is considerably
better, and can nov one hand a little.
The Wise home was the object of
many visits from the curious yester-
day. The entire farm was walked
over in search of. clues. Suspicion is
said to point strongly to two men with

tectives think they may have run

word will they divulge. Neither, 1t is
said, have they reported to the au-
thOrities.

for two days may have been the guilty
parties. The bank will suspend bust
