THE SOLDIERS HOME.
North Carolina Baptist.


The Soldiers Home in Raleigh is full.
There are many feeble, helpless. poor
boys of the gray over this State whose
last days on earth would be much bright
ened by having a better place to dwell.
They have been unfortunate in life or per-
haps lost limb or health in the loyal
service OF the sixties and have not the
comforts they need. These worn out vet
Grams will rot be with us much longer.
Soon the drum beat Will sound without
an answer when it calls for the braves of
the glorious cause Why not help them
now? Far better than cold stone to their
memory is loving cup of ministration
to their battle-worn bodies. Monuments
are all we'll in their place, but not so as
long as a helpless old Confederate in the
State needs help. The coming Legislature
can do itself great honor by increasing
the appropriation for the Soldiers Home.
Will North Carolina forget those sons who
responded TO the bugle call when she
called for defenders? AS they were once
our defenders SO now are we theirs.

If Mr.. Bryan opens his mouth to
speak on any issue but that of impe-
rialism, it is claimed that he has shift
ed his ground and is trying to make
some other issue paramount. When
he talks on trusts, for example, there
is shout that Bryan has found that
imperialism won't work. This causes
the Springfield Republican to say: ''In
1896 Mr.. Bryan talked about trusts.
In Brooklyn he delivered an address
in which that theme was vigorously
handled. But no one of his opponents
then asserted that he had run away
from the silver issue. Mr.. Bryan, in
1896, talked great deal about ques-
tons which were not related to the
paramount issue of that campaign,
and it is difficult to understand why
he cannot do the same this year.

very timely and sensible suggestion
to the friends of the four Senatorial

the success of the party far above that

zealously for the success of their Sen

the less actively for the success OF
BRYAN and Stevenson and the Demo-

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS,
NEGRO OUT OF POLITICS.
Wilkesboro Chronicle.

Wilkesboro Chronicle.
Morganton dispatches state that Mr.
Holton, ex-chairman State Republican
executive committee, was in town recent
ly arranging with negroes to bring in
dictments against white Democratic reg
istrars. Holton says the negro question
is out of politics. and certain "holier than
thou papers have dilated in the same
strain. Is this the way Holton PROPOSES
to keep the negroes out of politics by
going around and hiring them to bring
suits against honest, decent white men
for political purposes? The national Re-
publican platform declares against North
Cardinals constitutional amendment, and
the Republicans are organizing the ne
groes for Mckinley. who stands against
the will of the people of this State and
appoints negro postmasters over cur peo-
pie. That is a peculiar way to keep the
negroes out of politics.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

INDIANAPOLIS MONETARY CONVEN-
TION.
OF the
Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce,
Commercial Clubs, and Other SINH
lar Commercial Bodies of the
United States.
Indianapolis, Sept. % 1900.
Dear Sir; There is very great danger
that the Bryanite free silver advocates
will, by the November election, gain con-
troll of the lower House of the Fifty
seventh Congress.
If they gain Representatives from eight
districts and keep what they now have,
they will be in the majority.
There is little doubt but they will gain
three in North Carolina. They will prob
ably gain one in Kentucky two in In
diana, one in Missouri, and one in Texas.
1t will be very difficult for the sound
money people to prevent the Bryanites
gaining the districts mentioned, and it
will be very difficult for the sound money
people to gain any new districts.
1t is scarcely possible for our people,
under present favorable conditions, to
realize that We are on the verge of
calamity that will certainly destroy the
present commercial prosperity.
If the Bryanites control the lower House
they will certainly express resentment
of the gold standard by passage of a
free silver bill. The Senate would not
confirm it, put the simple fact that one
House of Congress, SO soon after enact
ment of the gold standard law, should
consent to take such a step would undo
our present splendid financial rating.
Creditors would lose faith in our stability
or continuity of purpose, and commercial
confidence would be shaken to tremen-
dous, untold loss Labor and capital
would suffer several years of inactivity
and distress.
With these statements accepted as the
plain truth, will any thoughtful man be
willing to take any risk? Will any
thoughtful man rest content without eff
fort in this campaign? What is to be
done? Every patriot who loves his coun-
try's good name, every citizen who unf
derstands the vital necessity of the en-
ployment of our people, must bend his
back in another effort to resist the wrong
with which the demagogue would burden
us.
In every Congressional district in the
country the friends of sound money should
put forth every possible honorable effort
to secure votes favorable to candidates
committed to sound money laws.
1t is absolutely necessary to gain some
new districts and a struggle is necessary
to save many that are now represented
by sound money members.
The sound money candidate in your
district must be supported by all possible
CO. operation. You can help to save the.
people from the disaster that threatens
them by promoting the election of Hon.
r. A. Wise.
Bring these facts to the attention of
every man who is willing to listen. Plead
with every workingman to arouse himself
in his own defense.
Organize the business men in your dis
trct to battle against foolish fallacjes
Every victory for right weakens power
for evil.
Can we depend upon you? If so please
send us the names of ten important men
in your town or county who are wavering
and whom you believe we could influence.
by personal letters, and obiige, faithfully
yours, II. H. HANNA

Whatever may be the feeling Of Mr.

ers as to the pending campaign, there
can be no sort of doubt that Mr. II. Fl.
Hanna, prophet of the so-called sound
money" gospel, is well-nigh beside him

sending to the four quarters of the earth

it would bring tears to the eyes of "a

Mr.. Hanna asks whether, with these
statements accepted as plain truth" any
thoughtful man can take a night off for
inglorous sleep. Candidly, We don't
know. We are not acquainted at this
moment with a single human being who
is ready to accept these statements as
plain truth. On the contrary, every hon
est and well-informed person within our
knowledge knows that they are not true.
AS matter of fact, they are eXtrava-
gantly and VIGOROUSLY absurd Even
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, speaking in
the first flush of his conversion, ridicules
the idea that any Democratic House
could be induced at this time to so
much as try to pass a free silver coinage
bill Mr.. Hanna, evidently, is not aware
of the fact, but it is nevertheless a fact
that the Southern States today constitute
the most prosperous section of the coun-
try. Prosperity. we understand is every
where, but the South is far and away the
leader in that glorious and splendid pa
geant. 1t is conceivable that the people
beyond the Ohio and the Potomac are
bitterly opposed not to commercial ex-
pansion, but to what they regard as i'm
perialism as represented in our treat
ment of Cuba and the Philippines. The
fact remains, however, that there is no
serious idea on the part of the Southern
Democracy to disturb the existing finan-
cial and monetary equilibrium.
Mr.. Hanna broods even more dismally
than he writes. The country is not in
danger at all. Doubtless his little COM
mittee at Indianapolis gives great COM
fort to him and his associate Mugwumps
in which case, long may they wave!-
but this narrowing circular of his is i'm
portant only as specimen of consecrated
hogwash.

Personally the earl has done much to
distinguish himself. His high rank in
the nobility has given him certain
prominence in conservative politics,
but he is by no means as great man
as some of his predecessors in the Of
flee he now holds. That office is ire
mendously greater than the man, and
few Americans know the extent OF its
dignity, it's retinue and its largess.
Lord Cadogan's establishment is
more regal than those of more than
half of the kings of Europe. This is as
it should be-from the standpoint of
royalty-for he is vice regent of Ire
land and the official name of his seat
is the vice regal lodge" situated in
the most pleasant part of Phoenix
park, Dublin, and upheld by state as
magnificent as the impoverished coun-
try which supports it is squalid. The
household of the lord lieutenant is real
ly royal court, and no small court at
that. A glance at its composition will
show that the queen will be subjected
to no mean entertainment when she
lodges at the palace in Phoenix park.
The salary of the lord lieutenant is
100000 a year. This sum he is sup
posed TO spend annually with the lavish
hand of royalty. lie has a private sec
