MANY REPUBLICAN, SENATORS
HAVE REPUDIATED THE
PARTY.

The conduct of senator Wellington,
of Maryland, in leaving the very cor
rupt and dangerous republican McKin-
ley party, brings upon him great abuse
from the organ grinders and claQuers
of the honey-combed combination.
But history repeats itself here as it
has been always doing. Senator Well
ington is an able man, and
there is no doubt he followed
obeyed the mandates Of his own con-
science. He only did what other able
men have done. The Washington cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun writes
this:
The whole history Of the republican
party abounds in instances where men
OF conscience and convictions have
thought it incumbent upon them to in
dicate disapproval Of it's practices by
separation from its association. No
political party In this country, or In
any other, has committed such excess
and enormities. uttered so many false
professions, broken so many promises,
reversed so many policies, changed
principles s. often, trampled Upon the
most hallowed traditions and customs,
and in the case Of party exigencies,
real or fancted. never hesitated to dis
regard constitution, law and the most
sacred rights of the citizen"
He cites the case OF Andrew johnson
a native of North Carolina, who was
republican and supported the party in
its war upon the south He writes of
what followed:
by reason of this he encountered an
obfoQuy and a denunciation in his own
home and among his own people which

1t is very evident that Holton and
Pritchard and the gang are counting
ON a big effort to carry North Caro-
lima by the consolidation of the 12O, 900
of 130. 900 negro votes. They have moth
ing else to count on, and yet they talk
hopefully of carrying the state for Nc
kinley if they are not prevented by the
democratic machine" If the negroes
vote, as they probably will, then the
negro is still a very pronounced issue
in North Carolina, and all the negro
philsts in the state cannot make it
otherwise appear.

Big Brick Stable.

The Board of Directors of the Citizens
National Bank, owners Of the Berkeley
Hotel, have decided TO erect a handsome
large stable in the rear of the hotel. This
will require the removalb OF the old

and will improve the surroundings Of the
hotel considerably.
The stable will be built of brick and
be 81 feet wide by q feet long with a
roof OF slate. 1t will be built to within
3 feet of the street, making an entrance
from the street right into the stable. The
stable will be two stories high and will
have all the modern Improvements. 1t

it the largest and most improved stable
in the city.

ing will be greatly improved and beauthed

Furious Storm.

The hot wave was broken, Temporarily
ct least, Sunday evening, when heavy
clouds came over the western horizon and
broke in a brief but furious wind and rain
storm, which speedily reduced the temp
erature and relieved the air of the intense
humidity. The storm began about six
O'Clock and inside of half an hour sue
Ceeded in calling the mercury down some
- degrees.
The storm was general in this section
Of the country, but nowhere was it more
furious than in Berkeley county. Trees
were torn mp by the roots and their
branches, together with lumber and other
light articles were carried over the coun-
try at a terrific rate of speed.
Although Slight damage was done all
over the country by the storm, no serious
damage has been reported. On +. Mar
tin street travel was impeded short time
by an immense tree which fe Il across the
stree, from in front CT the Anderson prop
erty. The roots of the tree had been
loosened and some Of them cut by work
men in laying new pavement and the
tree gracefully succlmbed TO the attacks
of old B0reas and .oppled over. The
corporation employees cleared the street
with axes.
A big willow trse in front of Mr. Geo
F. Evans home on Maple avenue also top
pied over and blocked the street in the Vi
cinIty of the bridge.
Another big tree toppled over in front
of Michael Garysys residence on High
street.
One of the large windows was blown
out of the Auburn Wagon Works, also
one out of the Independent Printing Of
fee.
Hundreds of dollars worth of fruit was
destroyed in the county. Many of the
peach, pear plum and damson trees were
stripped of the fruit and considerable
damages done by the fury of the storm.
Many fences were also blown over and
numerous small buildings blown down.

0. r. 7. Matters Settled.

The telegraph operators Of the Balti-
more & Ohio system and the manage
ment of the company have at last reached
a settlement of different matters which
have been pending for some time. Several
conferences have been held between the
order Of Railway photographers and the
officials Of the road and several statements
have been published in some city papers,
but none OF them seemed to be able 10
guess very correctly at the result. On
Saturday it was officially given out that a
general increase in wages had been grant
ed the operators and that many Of the
Offices which had been working only two
turns of twelve hours each would be plac-
ed on the three-turn list at eight homs
each. Mr.. c. Seldom, superintendent Of
telegraph of the entire Baltimore & Ohio
system, the six division superintendent
between Philadelphia and Chicago, the
trainmasters and divi-ion chief train dis
patchers, together with committees, rep
resenting the telegraphers, are going over
their respective divisions, designating the
different offices in which the changes are
to be made and arranging the scale OF
wages to be paid. 1t is understood that
where the hours are not reduced an in
crease will be given in wages.

"The papers of Lower British Columbia
have not paid so much attention to Atlin
heretofore that they perhaps should have
done, but now we wish to give the camp
all the consideration it merits. The alien
exclusion act hampered the situation then
but now it is different, and we hope to
find the field more deserving of attention."
J. Campbell Michigan, Jr,, of the Van
