REVOLUTION IN NORTH CAROLINA
- POLITICS.

Mr. Edward w. Pou, the present
democratic congressman from the Raj
eigh district and candidate for renomi-
nation made a speech the other day in
which. if correctly reported by the
state press, he made very foolish de-
claration. Mr.. Pou has the reputation
of being a man of considerable ability
and a forceful speaker. But if the
words attributed to him were spoken
he showed little political sagacity and
great ignorance of the true status in
this state. He is reported as saying in
substance that there were some voters
in this state who heretofore had voted
the democratic ticket simply because of
their desire to maintain white supre-
macy in the state, and that If these
men could not now vote that ticket
through principle" the democratic
party did not want their votes.
Now if Mr.. Pou did give utterance to
such sentiments he did a very foolish
thing. He should know that the demo-
cratic party needs and wants all the
votes it can get, no matter from what
InCy may III d4i
ness and with the best interests of the
democratic party at heart, We say that
it is today in dire distress, and il be-
hooves the party leaders to do all in
their power to conciliate and draw
back to its fold all those who show in
clination to stray from it, instead of
using language toward them calculated
fin1
arrangement. There is no sense in shut
ting our eyes to the fact that indepen-
dentism is rampant from Cherokee to
Currituck. and it will take the greatest
political judgment to keep the party
intact.
That there are number OF white
men in this state who for years have
stood by the democratic party and
voted for its nominees because that was
the only means of keeping the state
and county governments in the hands
of the white men no one can deny
men who but for the race question
would not have aligned themselves
with that party, especially in the cleo
ton of president and congressman.
The disfranchisement of the negro,
as it were, liberated these men from
compulsory allegiance to the demo-
cratic party and left them free to vote
as they pleased. Instead of doing what
We can to secure this vote thus made
independent, and to win them over to
our party on the political issues OF the
day, we begin to abuse them and tell
them We do not want them TO stay
with us any longer if their past party
affiliation was only because of the negro
issue we will drive from our ranks
thousands of men who otherwise might
be won over on political issues.
Mr.. Pou should remember that the
democratic battle-cry of the constitu-
tionaI amendment campaign was:
.Emancipate the white man; remove
from him the thraldom of the negro

that Mr.. Henderson was acting from
purely personal motives: that he was
convinced, after the careful investiga-
ton he says he made into the condi-
tions in his district. that he stood no
chance OF reelection. or .hat the
chances were so remote that he was not
willing tao run the risk OF defeat
When we take into consideration the
fact that his opponent Is the Honorable
Horace Boies, the most popular demo-
crat in the state OF Iowa, II is not
surprising that Mr.. Henderson should
feel uneasy about his prospects Of sue
cess were he to consent 10 run against
him.
At the time OF the iowa conventionI
there certainly was no breach betweenI
Mr.. Henderson and the president on the
tariff question. The congressman was
greatly opposed to the platform adopt
ed and he joined with Senator AllisonI
and others in trying TO prevent its
adoption. AS to what has occurred
since or whether there were other mat
ters on which there was disagreement
all events it is now plain tha. the ad-
ministration and the speaker of theI
house are at outs, and that. growingI
out of this division among the leaders,
as we'll as the voters of the party inl
Iowa, the democrats stand a good
showing in the coming election
The presidents western tour, begunI
yesterday, includes speeches at several
points in that state. These speechesl
will be awaited with great interest
all over the country, for there is noI
telling what he will say; and if he
goes into that state feeling indignant
against Mr.. Henderson and his friendsI
We may look for something rather SEN
sational unless the leaders of the party
hold very strong rein ON him. Sol
far they have found il hard to keep
him in check when he took a notion to
bolt, and we look for pretty lively times
during his stay in Iowa.

The disaster at Birmingham was one
of the most appalling our country has
suffered during this period o, horrible
accidents. What makes 1t ali the more
distressing is chat the people brought
it on themselves-the result of a
frienzied stampede where there was 10
danger threatening, a panic without
the slightest cause, ending in the loss
OF over one hundred lives. The friends
of the unfortunate ones have our Deep

ROOSEVELT'S CINCINNATI SPEECH.

So President Roosevelt throws himself
into the breach in his party lines made
by the flight of Speaker Henderson and
takes up the fight against disaffection
in his party on the question of tariff
revision. We suppose his speech in Gin
cinniati Saturday may be taken as the
keynote of the republican campaign in
the northwest. He takes the bull by the
horns. There is no temporiZing. No
promises of tariff revision in the future
as an effort to turn back the wave of
public sentiment, but d positive declara-
tion that the tariff cannot &c lowered
as a means Of checking the big monopo-
lies. His reasoning is that any reduc-
ton of the tariff which would check
the greed of these concerns would work
greater injury to their smaller competi-
tors; but he loses sight altogether of the
consumers who are held at the mercy of
these trusts, and of those instances
where there are no small competitors. If
it is to the interest oe the millions of
consumers that these trusts should be
brought to terms by lowering Inc duties
on their tariff-protected products,
should their welfare be ignored In the
interest of few hundreds of manufac-
turers? Th.s violates the fundamental
principle on which our government is
founded-tl.c greatest Good to the great
est number. According to the presi-
dents argument our protective tariff
laws are to be kept in 1orce III order to
prevent the big trusts from driving out
of business a few existing competitors
of small means: whereas. in truth,
what small opposition these monopolies
have has been kept up in spite Of the
protection and advantage this high
tariff has given. 1t IS by this means
that most of the opposition has been
run to earth.
When the president says mo tariff
change would help ore of or- smaller
|. corporations or one of our private indi-
viduals in business, still less one of our
wage workers as against n large corpor-
alton in the same business" he makes
no argument at all against the demand
of the people for lowering of the tariff
as a check to the big corporations for
what the people are demanding is
modification of the law under which
these monopolies are putting a heavy
and unjust tax on them, sanG If by so
doing the smaller concerns as we'll are
forced to curtail their eAtortionate
charges it is so much the better for the
people.
The president says he wants it under
stood that he is not considering whether
or not On grounds totally unconnected
with the trusts it would be well to lower
the duties OF various schedules either
by direct legislation or treaties designed
to secure as an effect reciprocal rela-
tions from the nations with which we
trade" In other words he does not ad-
NIT or deny that on general principles
there should be a revision of the tariff,
but when you come to srecify and to
| consider the interests of the corpora
tions and certain individuals then you
| must abandon the idea of tariff reform
| for that would work injury to these.

That's the condition of many sufferers
from catarrh, especially in the morning.
Great difficulty is experienced in clear

Northwestern Railraad i.

The Middle Park Times says that
while the snow in Middle Park is too
shallow for newspaper railroad building
yet we have ample credence to think
that the proposed railroad for which Mr..
Dick, who is interested in the Colorado
& Nortil western, has raised S14,000O00,
will be constructed in the near future.
1t is true that citizen OF Steamboat
Springs was employed to examine the
forest in that vicinity and report il 7OO,-
600 ties might be obtained. He report
ed that the ties could be had and ar
rangements were made for contract for
the number desired. We also CLEAN that
the railroad company has written to a
Routt county firm concerning the es-
tablishment of tie camp near the Gore
range.
The proposed railroad is to pass
through Middle Park, Steamboat Springs
and other sections of Northern Colo
rado.
