DID IT JUST HAPPEN so ?
Or is This Reward For Buffers Let
ter Endorsing Pritchard,
RELIEF COMES AS A NICE EASY SOFT JOB
The Populists Will Now Scream Louder For
Prilchard As One More Of Them Has
Landed in the Revenue
D>odIe Brigade.

And now the Pops can split their
throats some more yelling for Pritchard.
Another of their number has been hit by
an Official slice of nice, juicy pie, of the
Revenue Doodle brand.
He is one high up in the family coun-
ellis of the in extremis Pop party, for no
less a person than the brother of ex-
Senator Marion Butler, present National
Populist chairman, interested in liquid
and other kinds of air, is the latest Pop
to get relief at the pie trough.
This is Mr.. Lester Butler, of Raleigh,
until lately in advance of THE Lonely
Widow" theatrical company, and erst-
while an aid to the ex-senator on the
Caucasian, who now becomes Deputy
Revenue Collector.
He has been called to fill the position
lately warmed by the negro, James E.
Shepherd 1t has been heralded that
Shepherd resigned TO become some kind
of Church Missionary, but as few die
and none resign" when they hit the pie
trough, it is more than limited that James
E. got the clammy hand and the Earring
bounce.
And then the Pop succeeded the niger
in the Revenue Department as Deputy
Collector, and the reason why this parti-
cular Pop was Lester Butler, brother of
Marion Butler, if the public could get at
the books would prove mighty interest
ing reading.
For instance, suppose that ex-senator
Butler, the Pop National chairman, should
write a letter endorsing Senator Pritch-
ard Che did Just as he was going to
Chatham county, a Populist stronghold,
to debate with Locke Craig Chat was
the time) and that two days before this
Senator Pritchard and ex-senator Butler
happened to meet on the train between
Wilmington and Goldsboro (they did and
had a little talk (this is true), and then
Senator Buffers brother should quit be-
ing advance agent for lovely show like
1.-The Lonely Widow Che did, why what
would you say?
Was it a bargain, or was it not? The
job vacated by the niger is a good one,
with nice salary hitched to it, and
Jim Youngs office is close by, so he can
be consulted if the duties get mixed up,
and altogether it seems that after Shep-
herd was bounced the Senator saw it
was time for him to butt in with Broth
er Lester.
And this will make DR.. Cyrus Thomp-
son happier also. He has not seen Dear
Senator" so much of late. but as the
Senator's brother edges up to the pie
trough he can whisper to him, Verify
beloved, it is good to be here-on pay
day"
In the meantime ex-senator Butler will
tilt his beaver few degrees to the side
wink the other eye. pull his Van Dyke

OvERMAN AT WILMINGTON.
A Mastery Banding of National and State
Issues,

Especial to News and ObserVer)
Wilmington, N c., Oct. 2.-Hon Lee
S Overman in his speech in the court
house here tonight was greeted by the
militant Democracy of New Hanover to
the number of about three hundred.
There We're several good reasons for the
rather slim attendance, but the distin-
guished speaker was given the closest at
tention
Geo. l.. Peschau, Chairman OF the
County Democratic Committee, called
the meeting to order and Mr.. NJ. S. Will
lard introduced Mr.. Overman in a neat
little speech in which he reviewed the
distinguished services of the visitor to
the Democratic party, first as a member
OF the Legislature for five terms, private
secretary to Vance, Speaker of the House
of Representatives, choice of the Demo-
cratic caucus for the Senate. author of
the bill establishing the Railroad Com
mission and a Democratic elector at large
in the last campaign.
Mr.. Overman in opening his speech
thanked Mr.. Willard for the compl-
ments bestowed upon him and launched
into an able discussion of the issues, de-
voting half of his speech to State and
question was introduced only where il
was inseparable with the Republican
party in the past and to the so-called
Independents. He made an impassionate
appeal to hesitate before turning their
backs upon the Democratic party, which
had delivered the State from corruption
and going to the Republicans, who had
brought misrule and ruin. The State ad-
ministraton by the two parties was con-
trasted and the Democratic party was
shown to be on the side of responsibility
true economy and good government
Speaking on National lines, he taunte6
the Republican party upon its issue Of
prosperity and said the forcing of tha
issue was impudent and unwarranted
He denounced the war in the Philippine:

A BRIBE OF 500, 900.
Offered One Member of the St Louis City
Council for His influence.
CBy the Associated Press.)

L
ST. Louis, Mo, Oct 2.-When Judge
Ryan's court met today the trial of Rob-
ert NJ. Snyder, banker and promoter on
the charge of bribery in connection with
the passage of the Central Traction bill
was resumed. Frederick G. Uthoff. who
was a member of the City Council in
April, 1898, was put on the stand by the
State.
| Uthoff testified that while member of
the City Council in 1898. when the North
and South Traction bills We're pending,
Robert NJ. Snyder called on him at his
residence by appointment. Snyder spoke
of the Central Traction bill.
| 81 told him 1 had been approached and
offered $500 900 for my vote. l will get
that amount and send you by DECK
MANN said Snyder to me-
! Witness said Dieckmann brought the
package next day.
+ Uthoff next saw Snyder at the Plant
ers Hotel. At this meeting, Snyder
talked of the Central Traction bill, and
also of a gas bill Uthoff said Snyder
told witness that if he would introduce
this gas bill as a rider to the Central
Traction bill and work for it's passage as
we'll as vote for the Traction bill, he
would give witness 100000.
He said he would give me 100000 next
day." Uthoff explained; $4,000 when the
gas bill was introduced and $4,000 when
the gas bill was passed.
j "Then Snyder took up two handfuls of
bills" witness stated, sand said: 'Uthotf,
here is $25, 900. Dieckmann is on the floor
of the council with 100000 more. 1 would
have 100000 for you, but Charley Carroll
got $4,000 from me today.
| Uthoff said he refused to take any of
the money then offered him by the pro-
moter.
| Circuit Attorney Folk then proceeded
to question the witness as to opposition
which had developed to the Central Irac-
! ton bill and sprung the most interest
| ing bit of information which the snyder
| trial has yet disclosed, involving the
name of John Sculling, Street Railroad
magnate, and Edward Hutler. local
millionaire politician, in what the witness
! characterized as an attempt to defeat the
| Central Traction measure by the use OF a
big sum of money distributed in relays
of g.. 900 each to certain councilmen every
month
GIN March, 1898, Mr.. Scullin gave me
a bill to introduce called the United
, Traction bill" Uthoff stated. 1T was
designed to head off the Central Traction
bill. 1 met Mr.. Scullin and he paid me
! $25. 900 to push his bill and defeat the
other one
.'What did you do with the money!
az returned it to Mr.. Scullin through
Ed. Butler"

Under these conditions, We decline to
accept Mr.. Mitchell's considerate offer to
let our men work on the terms he names.
He has no right to come from Illinois
to dictate terms on the acceptance of
which anarchy and crime shall cease in
Pennsylvania. He must stop his people
from killing, manning and abusing Penn
sylvania citizens, and from destroying
property. He must stop it, because it is
unlawful and not because of any bargain
with us.
Eve will add to our offer to continue
the wages existing at the time of the
strike and to take up at each colliery and
adjust any grievance, this further con-
dition-if the employers and employees at
any particular colliery cannot reach a
satisfactory adjustment of any alleged
grievances, it shall be referred to the
judges of the court of common pleas OF
the district in which the colliery is sit
uated for final determination"

MANOEUvERs AT FORT RILEY.
The National Guard Show Much Gallantry
and Little Judgment
CRy the Associated Press.)

Fort Riley, Kan, Oct. 2.-Intensely
practical, exceedingly useful, but in no
way picturesque, were the manoeuvres
otday. They consisted entirely of in
struction for the men of the National
Guard in the formation of outposts and
the performance of outpost duty. There
were three exercises exactly alike and
the general description of one applies TO
the others.
In each exercise a regiment of regulars
established the outpost, the officers of
the National Guard accompanying the
commander of the regulars as spectators
When the outpost of regulars had been
fully established and the details of the
work made clear to the officers of the
National Guard, the State troops were
called up and sent out to relieve, the
regulars on the outpost When the State
troops were completely established on
the outpost an attack was made by
small force of cavalry. 1t was the as
sumption that the attacking force was
much larger in number than the outpost
The National Guard did excellent work
in forming their outposts, the pickets
and reserves being posted promptly
When. however, the attack was begun
much the instruction given at such
camp is needed by them. No criticism
could be made of their gallantry and their
Willingness to fight. it was the excess of
these qualities that would have brought
them disaster had the game of today
been in earnest
When the regulars began to push home
their attack, the National Guardsmen
were over anxious to fight In many in
stances they rose from cover, fired stand
ing, or kneeling and exposed themselves
recklessly. While they did this all that
could be seen of the regulars was a
brown dot where a hat could be dis
tinguished above the grass and their
steady, rapid fire from behind cover
would have worked terrible havoc among
the State troops. The latter finally were
brought more to cover, but throughout
the fighting they bore themselves with an
air of 'let me at EN-" which spoke as
strongly for their natural bravery as 1t
did for their need of just such instruc'
lions as given them today.
