CAN IT BE TRUE.

The Baltimore Sun has long story to
the effect that the administration will
lend all it's aid to Addicks in Delaware.
The spectacle in Delaware of both the
Democrats and decent Republicans re-
fusing to deal with Addicks has been the
best evidence in America of civic vir.
tue. Mr.. Roosevelt, when he became
President, refused to recognize Addicks,
as Mr.. Mckinley had done. Can it be
true he is willing to tie up with that
corruptionist? The Baltimore Sun is
usually correct. IF so, it will show that
the presidential bee has buzzed all the
civic virtue out of the President, and
will shock all who have believed in his
profession of rugged devotion to lofty
public ideals.

WHAT GOOD DEMOCRATS" WILL
DO.

Mr.. F. H. Whitaker, of Enfield. writes
the Pritchard organize Charlotte OBJ
server-that ''all good Democrats who are
opposed to Judge Clark for Chief Justice
will be asked to send delegates to Raj
eigh in the near future to organize and
formally nominate Judge Hill or some
other good Democrat for Chief Justice"
To that end, Mr.. Whitaker would like Ito
hear directly from all anti-Clark Demo-
Gratis and to know what can be done in
their respective counties and to fix a day
of meeting in Raleigh
There are no good Democrats" who
are opposed to Judge Clark since the
Democratic convention nominated him
in the State convention at Greensboro.
Mr.. Cleveland speaking of good national
submitted to the "arbitrament of the
national convention" In State politics
all good Democrats submit to the
'.arbitrament of the State convention"
There were good Democrats in that con-
vention who voted against Judge Clark,
but when the convention nominated him
that very moment he became their candi-
date. All good Democrats will support
the nominees of their party Radicals
and those who are not Democrats will
seek to defeat the Democratic ticket.
Inasmuch as Mr.. Whitaker talks about
good Democrats and assumes to issue
call to them, it is in order to enquire
into the politics of Mr.. Whitaker. Is he
a good Democrat?" If so, when did he
repent of his active support of Palmer
and Buckner.
Up to date nobody has been found adj
vocating Mr.. Hill except Palmer and
Buckner supporters. There were about
500 of them in the State, and it is known
that some of them regret their mistake
have come back home and are now good
Democrats" supporting the entire Dem
Ocratic ticket.

WRONG MAN LYNCHED."

The above was the headline on a tele
gram from Cumberland, Md, printed in
five hundred papers on the morning of
the fourteenth of August. Evidence had
been discovered, showing that the man
lynched was not guilty of the crime for
which his life was required at the hands
of a mob.
This terrible mistake ought to put an
end to lynching. 1t is awful enough
Illegally to deprive guilty brute of life
1t is crime too great to give it a name
for men to lynch an innocent man.
The crime of lynching is less common
Public sentiment ought to put a stop
to it.

RAILROAD COMBINE.

We give elsewhere all the news that
can be gathered from our best posted
exchanges with reference to the alleged
contemplated merger of the Southern,
Seaboard, Atlantic Coast Line, and L. and
N. roads. 1t would make powerful
combination and for time control the
traffic of most of the Southern States.
The gist Of the opinions is that vir-
tual merger has been effected but that
nothing definite will be given out until
Mr.. Morgan returns from Europe.
Upon what meat doth this our Caesar
feed
That he hath grown so create"
In the absence of information, let us
hope that the current opinion is not cor
rect, and that these great roads of the
South will remain independent.
