SPLITTING THE SOLID SOUTH.
Possible Result of Eliminating the
Negro Question.

Representative Spencer Blackburn Of
Winston. y. c., is in Washington. In
speaking OF political conditions in his state
Mr.. Blackburn said to a Star reporter this
afternoons:
The elimination of the negro question
from politics in the north state will in my
opinion, result eventually in greatly added
strength to the republican party there.
The people of the state have evidently
reached the conclusion that old-time
prejudices must be laid aside and that
votes must be cast for party candidates
standing upon platforms which conduce to
the best interests of the community. An
important meeting was held at Louisburg
few days ago indicating this new spirit.
"A great many business men attended this
meeting, nearly all of whom had previously
been of the democratic faith. 1t was the
sense of the meeting that the platform
adopted at the last republican national con-
yention should be indorsed, and that here
flee who were prepared to stand by prin-
ciples which insured the subservance of
the business interests of the state
THAT is to say, the meeting decided yir-
tually TO leave the democratic party and In
the future vote the republican ticket. This
to my mind, indicates that revolution In
politics is about to occur in North Caro-
lima. II would certainly seem so IL other
democrats of the state are to follow in the
path hewed by the Louisburg meeting and
there is no Indication that they viii not
do so.
Next year the state elects legislative
and judicial ticket. The republicans of the
state have strong hopes of being successful
In this campaign. It Is certain that a
great many men who have heretofore voted
the democratic ticket will vote for the re-
publican candidates..

FIGHT ostroLLEcToR sApr.

Representative H0reiug Leading
Movement to Depose Him.
Representatives Bores4g OF Kentucky is
In Washington aPd had long talk today
with Mr.. Yerkes. the commissioner Of In
ternal revenue. Their conference related
to Kentucky affairs. aid particularly, it Is
understood. to the case Of C. e. Sapp. the
collector Of internal revenue Of the Louis
Vile district. Nh. Borieing is leading the
fight that is being made before President
Mckinley for the removal of Mr.. Sapp, and
it is known that Mr. Yerkes is in sympathy
with the fight. secretary Gage is also OPP
posed. it is Learned. fo the retention of
Sapp. and 1t is pfedicted that the collector
win have to go7lnotwss nstanding Senator
Deboe, Representative Erwin and others
are behind HIM. Senator Deboe Is repre-
sented as being very Indignant at the pros,
pect that some man would be named
against his desires, but the fact is gen.
orally known in Washington that in Ken
tucky matters the President recognizes no
one as the sole dispensing agent OF patron patron
age In some OF Senator Deboes recon-
mendations the President has concurred,
but in others he has not and has appoint
ed whoever he saw ft
Il have recommended the appointment I
of j. A. Craft of Louisville as collector or
internal revenue of that district SAID
Representative Boreing to Star reporter,
land l hope to see him appointed he Is
lawyer ana most able man. ne as IN
dorsed by prominent professional ana busl-
ness men. He came to the republican
party from the democratic party IN is:to,
and has never held Office or applied ior
office. His appointment would meet ana
respond to the new conditions in Kentucky
and would be in line with the president
attitude in southern matters. Inc ap-
pointment would not look to the establlsn-
ment OF another republican macnlne 10
take the place of the one the people are
now seeking to get rid Of, and will get rld
of.
Men like Sapp are opposed to any policy
that will add to the strength of the repuo-
lican party In the southern states Ihey
want the party to be in the minority that
they may hold office. Those who are not
seeking office and who have the good OF
the party at heart are favorable to policy
that will encourage the addition or new
and able men to the republican party IN
the south. When we are relieved or sucn
situation as Sapp has created In Louis.

get more securely on it's feet than ever
and will make a splendid showing.
"The democrats are opening up their
fight for senator, but they are without
leader and a platform In the nation. ana
haven't anything to guide them in Ken
lucky. They are trying to live on the past
bu their record is bad and they won't be
able to make headway on that score.
Mr.. Boreing is regarded as a strong cam
didate for United States senator to sue
ceed Senator Deboe. The alleged asp1ra-
tions of Mr.. Boreing have caused cool
ness between him and Senator Deboe.

MIR. LANGLEY AT HIS DESK,
Recovering From a Severe Attack o
Appendicitis.

Appendicitis.
Mr.. John w. Langley, appointment clerk
of the census bureau, was at his desk for a
short time today for the first time since
he was operated on for appendicitis, over
three weeks ago. He will go to visit Sena-
tor Elkins at his home in West Virginia
probably next Monday. and after he has
regained his accustomed strength will visit
his own home in Kentucky for a short
time before resuming his duties at the CEN
sus office
Mr.. Langley's attack Of appendicitis
which caused him to be placed on the
operating board. was attended with cir
cumstances that make the incident of espe-
the 11th of July by medical friend, who
remarked that he appeared to be in un-
usually good health. Mr.. Langley, who is
of powerful physique, replied that he had
never felt better In his life.
Before the brief conversation had ended
the appointment clerk remarked, laughing
ly, that since they began talking he felt a
severe pain, and this was the forerunner of
his trouble that made surgical operation
necessary. The physician said he supposed
it was nothing Of consequence, but called
to see Mr.. Langley later in the day at his
home, he having been under his treatment
last May for a similar trouble.
The following day Mr.. Langley was suf-
fering greatly and remained at home. ON
Saturday he was ordered to the hospital.
and Sunday morning. July H. he was told
that he had q choice of dying or being on
Grated on that day: that delay of a day
would in all probability be fatal. Mr..
Langley very coolly told the physicians to
do what they thought was best. and an op-
Grafton followed A remarkable phase of
the case was that going under the In
fiuence of ether caused no perceptfble
change in the pulse beats Of the patient.
which was the result of his unusually
strong physique.

Iron and Steel Products, He De.

lection of Government.
REPUBLICAN THEORY APPLIED.
"Reveneue Cannot Be Raised From
Duties on Articles That Can Be
Manufactured Cheaper Here
Than Elsewhere"
+ EUEL.Ic

REF SPECIAL.
Washington. April 2I-Representative
Babcock. Of Wisconsin. a Republican men,
Der OF the Ways and Means Committee, re-
turned TO the city Tuesday after an alb
sence Of several weeks in the West. Mr..
Babcock is more than ever convinced OF the
wisdom Of his bill removing the tariff duties
on steel and iron products that are manu-
featured cheaper in this country than any
where else.
1T is not material" said he. whether
it is an individual or combination of indi-
viduals, that have obtained control OF any
single product, so that they can fix any
prices they see fit and make the consum-
ers pay that price.
Congress and the representatives Of the
people will fall very short of their duty If
they permit a tariff to remain on such ar
ticles when the tariff is not needed for pro-
lection on the lines advocated by the Re
publican party.
When an article can be manufactured In
this country cheaper than it can be made
anywhere else, that industry needs protec-
ton no longer and revenue cannot be raised
from it. If the Republican party fails to
meet The new conditions. its whole theory Of
protection falls TO the ground.
During my visit in the West, 1 have
talked with the Representatives of many OF
the largest interests of the country I
have nos meta single manufacturer who did
not inoorse this movement. The only up-
position 1 have encountered comes from a
class OF people who look upon the tariff
rita a reverence TO be paid a Chinese joss
to be admired. but not touched.
1t has been suggested to me by one Of
:ae greatest railroad men in the United
States-a man who has built I'D one of the
largest systems and upon a TocK-ribbed and
iock-Dottom financial basis. the stock of
whose road has never sold for less than par
and often for more than 500 per share-,o
incorporate a provision in the bill which
will limit the floating of watered stock.
1t has been suggested that the stockhold-
ers OF corporations doing IN Interstate COM
merce business, coming thereby in a meas
ure under the control of Congress, should
he liable for, say, two years after they dis
pose of their stock. In ether words, that
something should lie enacted similar to :he
law which prevails in Germany, where the
liability extends for five years. and similar
10 the law in several OF the Western States,
which. as a rule, provide that all property
taken in any corporation shall be at its
actual market value, and any stockholder
who disposes of his stock to a purchaser
must practically guarantee that the prop
erty held by the corporation is scheduled
at its true market value. and for two years
thereafter said stakeholder shall be liable,
not only for the debts Of the company, but
for any false inventory or misrepresenta-
zion upon which the capital stock has been
issued"
