mosphere and a decided change
all along the line. Thefollowi11g
taken from an account of an cleo
ton held in which women were
running for Office, shows that it
is but a step from the quietness
of the home circle to the hiring
maelstrom Of politics. The sent
ence below is but one Of which
two candidates indulge in during
q somewhat warm discussion Of
the issues, but it will serve as a.
sample: eff I was running for
Office and I found out a withered-
up, china-faced bag like you was
working for me, I would not
vote for myself" If we might
judge from this, of the possibili-
ties OF the future campaigns with
women taking a hand, it is to
expect that the hottest election
known to man would pale into
insignifcanse. By all means let
the women have a hand IN max
ing these oft-recurring occasions
full of interest.

A Came Preserve.

The plan of forming acorpora-
ton among the most prominent
lumbermen in the Wisconsin Val
ley, to establish a game preserve
to extend along the rivers and
lakes in the vicinity of HeaHord
Junction, has progressed SO far
that May II, when the directors
Of the Wisconsin Valley Advance
ment association meet at Tona-
hawk, the capitalists interested
will go over the ground in a steam
launch and decide just VIII a t
property is to be acquired.
In the opinion of sportsmen
who have hunted and fshed on
many continents, there is no
country in the world to compare
with Northern Wisconsin and
Michigan in this particular. For
this reason it is eminently neces-
sary to establish preserves before
the annual influx of hunters has
ruined the sport. The men be-
hind the Heaford Junction pro-
ject are all wealthy lumbermen
and may be depended upon to
spare no expense to make this
bit of territory a hunters para
disc in every sense of the word.
Until lately the subject has not
been discussed, but now that the
movement is definitely und
way, the woods and rivers of the
north will be made into a hunt
ing and fishing ground that will
have no superior in the whole
country Milwaukee Journal.

Protection from Lightning

The Scientific American says:
Some Of the simplest things are
the most eficacious. Ii you are
afraid of lightning, simply put on
your rubbers and then stand up
so that your clothes will not
touch anywhere. Whether you're
indoors Or outdoors you are per
fectly safe, for rubber is a non
conductor and you are complete
ly insulated. This is worth re
Numbering.

Maryland, which went for Nc

It would seem also that Kansas

A CAMPAIGN ISSUE.

Today's News and Observer is in the
nature of a campaign issue. In it we
present the best arguments in favor of
the Constitutional amendment and other
matter that helps along the campaign
Of education" which has already begun.
The speech of Senator Money is. as the
headl lines say. "A Great Speech" 1t is
not printed in full. but in the cutting
down we have tried to print the best Of
his convincing argument. He comes
from the first State that secured peace
and quiet by c0nsttutiOnally eliminating
the mass of illiterate negro voters. The
argument of Hon. +. ii. Busbee has
been pronounced one of the abltsSt, Gear
est and most profound that has yet been
printed. The article on 'LawIeSSn1Ss Of
Republicans in the South" is from the
pen of one of the most accomplished pub
he men in the State.
1t Is our purpose to furnish from time
10 time such contributions, but rot SO
many in one Sunday issue. The excel
lence of these articles will make it well
worth while to preserve them.

MORE AND MORE P0PULISTs.

In the attempt TO deliver the Populist
votes TO the Republicans 10 restore Ne
gro Rule. the Populist leaders have taken
n contract that they cannot carry out.
There were over $4,000 popuhsts in
North Carolina. The first fusion with the
Republicans, when its terms or effect
was not fully understood. cost the party
thousands Of votes The fusion of 1898.
Negro Rule and Russellism, cost it most
of the men who gave character TO the
rarty. The last dose offered by the
bosses--to vote to keep 10000 negroes
on the poll-books to Kill the vote of 120,-
600 white mems a dose SO vile that
no man who once gets sniff of it will
vote as directed unless he is eating pie.
Every week We print a letter from some
Populist refusing to take the dose. On
the first page of today's paper, we pub
lish strong letter by Mr.. J. j. Mar
shall, a prominent and influential For
syth county Populist. 1t is an effectual
answer TO Butler.
This weeks Windsor Ledger contains
Il letter from Mr.. J. c. White from
which we make this extract:
But Mr.. Editor, since that time
(the days of 1S14-1S94) there has sprung
up another party that calls itself the
Peoples party or the Populist party. I
thought their platform was good and
voted with them one time. But after
seeing how they fused with the ignorant
negroes for the sake of office and 10
wiring our county and State offices out
Of the hands of white and competent
men and placed it largely in the hands
of ignorant and incompetent negroes. I
cannot do so again"

The announcement through the press
of North Carolina that it has candi-
date for a high and important public Of
flee, one which calls for a man of charac-
ter known integrity and capacity, may
seem prenumptuous and perhaps irregular
to those who ever look upon the news
paper editor as one who works for a
Scan1y living in this world, and receives
his reward in the next.
At this time when nomination for of
fee is not 50 far removed from the sue
cess of attaining the office, as seems most

Of the State regard the situation
as one demanding recognition at the
hands OF the leaders and the voters gem
orally. therefore seek to put forward a
candidate.
So in this year Of 1900, the press, al
ways an advocate of good government,
of good party morals, the supporter OF
honest men for public trusts. feels that
the time has arrived for naming one of
its many qualified editors for n position
Of public honor and trust.
The editor thus named, whose nomlna-
1ion is sought at the next State conven-
ton is Henry 4. London of the Chat-
ham Record, Chatham county, and the

office is that of State Treasurer
The guarantee Of Mr.. London's merits
and qualifications, is not merely to be
found in the columns of the State press,
which advocate his candidacy, today, but
is to be found in his record which he
has made during the past many years, in
his personal integrity of character. his
demand for the public welfare and ad-
vancement by pen and word and i'll has
general reputation as a citizen of this
commonwealth.
The State press puts forward Mr..
London as q candidate in full confidence
of him as a worthy representative of
North Cardinals newspaperdom. and as
a man capable Of filling in every particu-
lar the demands which may be made
upon him as State Treasurer.
In honoring Mr.. London by nomina-
ton and election to this office of public
trust, the people of North Carolina could
show no greater appreciation of their
editors, for in Henry 4. London's nOmi-
nation and election will be exhibited the
good will and confidence that the peo-
pie have for the press. which has ever
stood firm TO maintain the rights and
privileges of all the people AT all times,
in the Old North State.

THE RIGHT KIND OF REVIVAL
IST.

There are revivalists and revivaliSts.
There are men in this holy calling who
think that to succeed they must parade
the scarlet sins which they committed
before they joined the church. These
are they who feel that TO be heard they
must be sensationalists to such an ex-
treTne as 10 draw severe criticism upon
themselves. and then pose as martyrs
for what they are pleased TO call pro

There are others again who are so fond
of sensation that they do not stick 10

classes have caused many good people
to have a contempt for revivals and
evangelists-WronGing the good and
faithful men who are doing great good
III the evangehstic field.
The evangelist VINO is a blessing to
the church and to society, a true messen-
ger of the Word. is he who rebukes sin
in the language and spirit OF the gospel,
who calls men 10 repentance in tender
ness and in love. and whose piety and
faith and Christian grace forbid him to
become a mountebank or common
scold. Such an evangelist is Rev r.
c. Pearson, who is conducting re-
vval in Charlotte. The Observer says
Of him:
