Clamoring for More Money.

A dispatch from Topeka to the dailies says
Chairman John Francis, of the house ways and
means committee, is catching it on all sides,
because he is trying to keep down what he con
siders unnecessary appropriations. Every de-
partment of the state is bowling for bigger
appropriations. Those who do not ask for
more clerks are urging all increase in salary.
"But," says Mr.. Francis, ~ can afford to
stand it. l propose to keep these appropria-
lions down if make an enemy of every office
holder in the state"
But Mr.. Francis isn't bigger than all of the
Office. holders in the state, and he will not be
able to keep down the appropriations.

Hard on the Republican "Nigger Push."

Last fall the campaign among the negroes
was made solely upon the issue of burning
"niggers" to the stake. Townsend, Childs,
Sherman Harvey and the colored orators who
were whooping it up for Mckinley appealed to
the prejudices of the negroes by detailing the
horrible and barbarous burnings that occurred in
the South. The Democrats here and every.
where were charged with being accompices and
"particeps criminis." Well we are anxious to
lear from Sherman Harvey on this Leavenworth
outrage. Not only has negro been tortured
and buried at the stake in Kansas, republican
state, but republican governor, republican
warden of the penitentiary and a republican
sheriff wanted it done and made it possible for
the mob to accomplish its fendsh work. Not
only that but the republican governor refuses
to do anything to bring the leaders of the mob
to justice Personally we regret the horrible
occurance. 1t shocks our ideas of right and
decency but from political standpoint, we are
glad that since it has beea done tnat it occurred
in Kansas under republican administrations
1t will regulate the republican "nigger push'i
from politics. Harvey will have to get new

1000 People at Picnic at Angiea

Especial to News and Observer
Angler, N. c., July 20.-This quiet little
town was the scene of most enjoyable
picnics yesterday.
The occasion was made by the Baptist
and Methodist Sunday schools of Holly
Springs getting together and taking an
outing in the country-in. Angler. AS its
progressive spirited and worthy mayor,
Uncle Jacob, put it in his welcome talk,
the town is not out of the wilderness but
is full of heart and not tired of search
ing.
To the something like 300 people brought
here by those Sunday schools there was
added at least 1,5O0 of the good people
from the adjacent country.
In whole day of jollity among this
big throng not only was there no dis
orderly conduct but there was no evil
thought-saying too much-yet mighty
near the truth.
The picnic was at the instance of that
public spirited citizen of Holly Springs,
Mr. G. B. Afford, and the schools were
led by Rev. S. W. Oldham, Rev. J. A.
Campbell and Prof. Judd.
Angler people We're delighted to greet
SO many pretty girls and sprightly boys

REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE SUED.
A Prominent 'rnsurgent'' Asks the Court For
$4,000 Damages.
Especial to News and Observer.

Nopecidi 10 News ana observer
Asheville, n. c., July 20-A sensational
damage suit has been started here by
j. M. Patterson, who has instituted an
action for $4,000 damages against four
prominent Republicans on account OF the
circulation of a campaign document which
the plaintiff considers slanderous. The
circular was sent out May II, and was
published in the Republican papers of the
district, and suit is brought against the
signers, who were Thomas S. Rollins,
chairman of the Republican executive
committee for the district C. b. Moore,
secretary of the committee; w. e. Logan,
chairman of the county committee and
Hunter Arnold, secretary of the county
committee.
The circular complained of, charged
that Patterson was "a wolf in sheep's
clothes, and a tool in the hands of a
few partisan Democrats" and that he was
"practicing a raud upon the public by
signing his name to letters as secretary
of the Republican committee" The circu-
lar then goes on to say:
He himself held office under this ad-
ministration until he risgraced himself
ard his friends and was turned out on ac-
count of his own official misconduct and
he is now mad and kicking merely be-
cause he is not re-appointed.
1t is understood that Patterson will
claim that the statement as to his being
turned out of office is unrue. Patterson
is prominent ''insurgent" Republican,
being included in those who have been
making. efforts to oust the incumbent Re-
publicans from office.
