Mr.. James Phillips, seventy years of age

to some business. He rode down the Balti-
more turnpike.
Without looking about him, 1t Is stated
he started across the road as a bound
car of the Washington and Rockville cleo
trio road was approaching. Motorman
Voigt sounded his gong, and was applying
his brakes when the car struck the horse
and rider. Mr.. Phillips was thrown to the
ground with terrific force and sustained in
juries about the face, head and right thigh.
The horse escaped with but slight scratches
and away down the road. When pick

scious condition. He was quickly removed

own home.

Expect Republican Support.
Senator Germans Declaration.

Senator German, who at this time is adj
mitted to be in the lead in the race for the
presidential nomination, has declared that
tariff reform is to be one of the issues. The
oldfashioned low-tariff democrats do not
admit that Senator Germans ideas of tariff
reform comport with their own. Tariff re-
form to them Is to take an ak and go after
the protective principle to smash 1t. Sena-
tor Germans suggestion is to use pruning
knife, and use 1t with moderation and wis
dom.
In the convention the Cleveland admirers
will oppose the German idea. They still are
for the Cleveland tariff, and already have
forgotten the rebuke which the country adj
ministered to Mr.. Cleveland On that score.
1t is expected that the followers of Mr..
Bryan, also, will fight Senator German
tariff suggestions, and SO will some of the
southerners There is every prospect, there
fore, of a good lively row over the tariff
plank.

A BIG FAMILY ROW
TROUBLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC
CAMP OVER TARIFF.
Wide Difference Of Opinion Between
the Two Factions as to National
Platform Plank.

There are indications that the democrats
are preparing for big family row over the
tariff question. 1t is likely that the bitter
est fight in the next democratic national
convention will be over the tariff plank, as
in the opinion of many leading democrats
great deal will depend in the elections
upon the democratic attitude toward the
tariff.
It is evident that one wing Of the party
dominated by the conservative eastern SEN
tfment, will endeavor to have the party
speak in its national platform in behalf of
only moderate revision of the tariff. The
men who compose this faction of the de-
mocracy contend that this country will not
tolerate free trade nor even violent reduc-
ton of tariff schedules which seems to
threaten the protective principle They
hold that there is middle course between
republican party now stands and the rates
which would throw down American indus
tries.
Expect Republican Support.
These men hope to draw the support of
large numbers of republicans who entertain
similar views and who do not find standing
room in their own party at this time nor
much prospect Of 1t for the future. 1t is
said that there has been a great change of
sentiment in some parts of the south with
In the past five years on the tariff question
and that substantial reinforcement may be
expected from the southern delegates.
There Is no question, however, that this
plan of conservatism and moderation will
be vigorously opposed by the rank and file
Of the convention. The old low-tariff prin-
ciples are ingrained In the democracy, and
1t will be difficult, 1t is recognized, to rub
them out. The conservatives therefore are
expecting to have big task before them in
their efforts to convert the low-tariff men
to the modified proposition of tariff revi
sion,

DIR. BASSETT'S FIREBRAND.
The Progressive Farmer.

The progressive Farmer.
DR.. John Spencer Bassett, of Trinity
College, wrote for the November South
Atlantic Quarterly an article. Stirring
Up the Fires of Racial AntiDathy." which
itself seems likely to do as much to stir
these fires as any article, save one. that
has appeared in North Carolina for a
score of years. The head and front OF
DR.. Bassett's offending is not that he
pronounced Booker Washington the great
est Southerner since Lee. but that his ar
ticle is in effect a plea for the equality
Of the races, as fast as it may be brought
about-and apparently for social equality,
for the article is at least so worded as
to suggest this. whatever DR.. Bassett
may have intended it to imply. Not
even a black skin and fat nose can justi-
fly caste in this country he says. THE
only solution reserved for us is the adop-
ton of these children of Africa into our
American life. In spite of our race feel
ing, of which the writer has his share
they will win equality at some time

GIVE ALL A JOB.

There is suggestion now that Raleigh
have two dispensaries. Why not establish
three and put Aldermen Separk, Griffis
and NOVEL; in one; Aldermen Andrews.
Rogers and Smith in number two; and
Aldermen Boylan, Rogers and Upchurch
in number three?
1t seems to be settled that Alderman
Separk is to manage the dispensary, and
to be assisted by Aldermen NOVEL; and
Gr;ffis. 1t is a species of favoritism to
give jobs in the Aispensary to these three
and leave the other six of the Big Nine
out in the cold. If it is determined to
make farce of the dispensary, We vote
to give every alderman, who voted against
giving it a fair trial. a job. instead Of
giving monopoly of jobs to three of
them. Of course nobody except aldermen
have right to positions.
Better still. in order to be fair to all
the Big Nine: Why not establish nine
dispensaries so that each of the Big Nine
can run his own Just as he pleases? In
this day when aldermen proceed upon the
idea ''the people be id" why not divide
out the dispensaries and the jobs and
make enough to go around?
