GOOD FOR JUDGE MOORE.

The papers are justly commending
Judge Moore for holding the bondsmen
of Morgan, the gambler, who skipped. He
is now in a Northern State and 1t is
said that his bondsmen know his where
abouts but have made no effort to Sc
cure him. Moreover it is reported that
the bondsmen are secured, at least in
part, by mortgage on property owned
by disreputable woman who gave the
mortgage to help her friend Morgan If
such is the case it would have been a
particularly disreputable piece of business
to Iermit the man to escape and to re-
lease his bond.
The truth is that there has been too
lax an administration of the law with
reference to bonds. When a man signs
bond to guarantee the attendance of
an indicted person at court he ought to
understand the consequences of it, and
if the man skips the school fund should
be largely increased. Judge Moore will
add several thousand dollars to the
school fund in Wilson by his righteous
act.

William Jennings Bryan reached Rich

interviewer walked in and shook hands.
MI. Bryan has fattened since the last
campaign, but there is no trace of weak
ness in the big jaw and no sign Of r2lent
ing in the straight, wide mouth. He is
the same old Nebraskan with q little dis
play or what the good things of lite may
do in the flesh for a man
Just from Raleigh, we chatted q moment
about Josephus Daniels, the editor of
the News and Observer, who has, per-

other man in an editorial chair
He is a man to tie to-" said Mr.. Brv

When the voice of the commoner first
arose in the West, this writer had the
pleasure OF hearing him. 1t was before
he became power in national politics,
the leader of millions of people. to fight
hard in two great battles and lose both.

When William Jennings Bryan ascend
ed on the speakers stand III the House
OF Delegates at 10 p. IN. today, the hall
was rammed, damned and packed with
Senators, delegates, citizens and women
Both galleries were black with people
After a wave of handclappng had
swept the audience, Mr.. Bryan Began his
impromptu address while the listening
throng remained motiorless, quiet, eager
to drink in every word The scene was
quite inspiring. Bryan, striking of pres
ence, melodious of voice, appeals to ele-
mental humanity, and the Virginia audi
ence which stood and sat before him was
representative of perhaps every field OF
thought and endeavor in the confines of
the old mother State, and Of every min
ute geographical subdivision thereof.
Mr.. Bryan began his address by n play

capacity OF a private citizen.

ment OF laughter, that I'm liable to re-

After he ended his speech, Mr.. Bryan
held a levee, and nearly every member
went up to shake his hand.

WAS HE USING WORDS TO CARRY
A DOUBLE MEANING.

Mr.. Cleveland never said a truer thing
than when he wrote that this is no time
for cunning finesse, nor for the use OF
words that conceal intentions or carry
double meaning" And all his pro-
Panama friends tell us that his declara-
ton condemning Roosevelt's disregard
OF territorial rights and ''our own ma
tional good faith" is "the use Of words
that conceal intentions or carry double
me aning' Did Mr.. Cleveland condemn
the Panama treaty or did he use words
that carry a double meaning?" The
conclusion is irresistible that he did one
or the other. If he did the first he con-
demned those who have been demanding
Part of that hog cooked in that Pan-a-
mas If he did the last he condemns
himself in the same letter, for employing
the finesse he denounced in others. Take
the case, gentlemen of the jury.

censes saloons. Your informant had very
evidently forgotten Fremont which thriv-
ing little town is situated on the Allan
tic Coast Line just three miles north
of Pikeville in Wayne county. This town
has open saloons. and within its cor
pcrate limits there is Whlskey distll-
lery in operation, and then just few
miles east of Fremont. is the town Of
Eureka in Wayne county which also has
open saloons.
Now l wish to ask the question why is
it any more of a ''mepace" to the peo-
pie in prohibition territories for Pike
vile to sell them whiskey than it is Tor
Fremont and Eureka to sell it and sure
Iy those towns get patronage or they
would not continue the business, La
Grange, in Lenoir county, is only fifteen
miles from Goidsboro and it also has open
saloons and is conveniently located on
the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
road So we see that Pikevlle is not by
any means the only town that has saloons
at which the people in the prohibition
territories has access.
AS to the population Of PlkeVille II
has more than two hundred instead OF
a doubtful hundred as your article stated
Another mistake / wish to correct Is IN
regard to the church building in course
of erection at Pikeville. Work on the
church building was suspended Tor snort
while only for lack of material and IN
dividuals who were erecting other build
ipgs did not deem it necessary to cease
,their work until the church building was
completed The church is rapidly nearing
completion, and will doubtless be com
pleted without any aid or assistance
from, those who see fit to try to ridicuis
and criticize the little town OF PikeyIlle.
From the way that Pikeville has been
REPRESENTED of late people who do not

IN WRONG SECTION.

Millions for killing Filipinos, and mil
lions for the owners Of Panama stock,
but not one cent for an inland water way
that Mr.. Small has been pressing,
seems to be the new plan. The chief
OF the army engineers reports that
it will cost more than the advantage
would repay. And so we are told the
game is not worth the candle" little
later Mr.. Cannon will sit down on the
Appalachian Forest Reserve. These two
great enterprises are located in the wrong
section to expect just consideration. BY
united action a few dollars may be OBJ
tanned to build a post office in a North
Carolina town if the same bill carries a
million dollar appropriation in Pennsyl'
vania. But only then.

CLEVELAND ENDORSES BRYAN.

Those commercialists, who loudly praise
Cleveland and never follow him except
WREN he is wrong, haven't yet recovered
from his recent solar plexus on the
Panama disregard of national honor and
his severe denunciation of our Philippine
policy. Upon the first he is not so clear
and emphatic as in the latter. He speaks
OF yielding to "the temptation of sordid
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and the false glitter of
world power even with professions of
national righteousness, benevolence and
liberty on the lips of the American gov
ernment. He refers to it as the great
est national fall from grace ever known
when, while still appearing as the cham
pion of the weak against the strong, and
of self-government against OPPRESSION
the government of the nation seized the
chance ito conquer and govern without
pretense of their consent millions of re-
sisting people, holding aloft in one
hand the promise of commercial advant-
age and the glory of rivaling monar
cEical expansion, while with the other
it Slaughtered thousands Of the abject
poesessors of the soil it coveted and
sent messages of disease and death to
thousands of American homes"
Commenting upon these sensible utter
anoes, the Springfield Republican, the
ablest paper in New England, writes
words of truth and soberness when it
says:
This outburst of righteous indigna-
tion over a great national crime from
a very influential person IN the State
comes a little late; it should have been
heard in the Presidential campaign OF
1900. 1t may possibly come at more
orportune season for practical effective
ness, but at all events it is to be well
comed for the reason especially that 1t
has been Mr.. CleveIand's own faction
which, among Democrats, has Eeen most
infected with the poison OF the policy of
criminal aggression, and has given most
encouragement and support to imperial
ism. This telling utterance should have
some effect in bringing imperialist
Democrats and their organs into Q
saner attitude on the Philippine ques-
ticn Mr.. Cleveland's counsel is to deal
with the archipelago as we have dealt
with Cuba, and the opposition party can
not rise to its opportunities in the CON-
ing canvass without making this demand
a leading ISSUE"
II in 1900, when his words would have
helped to put in the White House the
man who was leading the fight then
for the policy Mr.. Cleveland now ap-
proves, Mr.. Cleveland had written
this letter he would have done his party
and the country service. Every word
he says is an approval of the Democratic
National platform and of Bryan's able
speech of acceptance in Indianapolis
Put, when his words might have been in
strumental in putting an end to the
slaughter of thousands" he was nursing
his resentment toward the party that
had made him. If he had been big
