Dickens in his American notes and It

of that noted author. During Dickens
last visit to the United States he was en-
tertained and lionized by washington So

little snobbish and to sneer at the
Americans. At a reception he was in
troduced to q gentleman whom he
treated rather coolly. The next day
this gentleman was sitting on the rail-
ing of the long bridge with a shotgun
looking for ducks. Dickens in his perez
CARNATIONS about the city, went out on
the bridge and met the gentleman. The
latter, remembering the Englishman's
manner the night before. simply looked
at him and went on hunting ducks.
Dickens was little chagrined, but sup
posed the man had not recognized him.
Finally he turned to the hunter and
said:

scene in David Copperneld."
The hunter turned impatiently aud
retorted: Look here. Dickens: you

A CLARION CALL.

Judge Parkr has written nothing
during the campaign that is better
than his address to "The Democracy
Of the Nation" that is printed today
There was no way to avert party
defeat and attempts to saddle the re-
suit upon this or that element of the
party, but tend further to weaken the
ranks of the only party through which
the people can hope for relief
In 1892 it looked like the Republi-
can party had been annihilated. Their
defeat was crushing. In 1894 they
won a victory greater than they won
on Tuesday. If the Democrats of the
country rightly read the lessons of
Tuesday, history may repeat itself in
their favor
Judge Parker points the way. The
corrupt use of money contributed by
monopolies menaces our country, and
these illegal combinations "are alb
sorbing the wealth of the nation. The
people will come to see this gigantic
evil and will. not many years in the
future, administer a defeat to the
party of trust domination"
In the hour of defeat no Democrat
will lower his colors. HeS will ZEN
list for the war and continue to fight
the enemies of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none" And vic
tory will come as sure as God reigns
in the heavens.

Election Echoes.

The most amusing scene reported
in the late campaign, says an eX-
change, was in Richmond county.
Sheriff 7. S. Wright, Chairman p. c.
Whitlock and Representative A. s.
Dockery had an appointment last
week to speak at Ellerbe Springs.
When they arrived they found one
man waiting. He knew them and
of course they pretended to know
him. but they didn't. They didn't
know what party he affiliated with.
Sheriff Wright spread himself out on
the lap robe, Mr.. Whitlock grabbed
hickory nuts out of the leaves and
cracked them, and Mr.. Dockery ad-
dressed this lone man for an hour
and half on the political issues OF
the day. The man sat bolt upright
in front of the orator and did not bat
an eye for an hour and a haIf-so
the report goes. When Mr.. Dockery
was concluding d eulogy of Judge
Parker he made a slip of the tongue
and call him Alton b. Brooks. You
mean Parker" suggested his lone au-
ditor in front. Pardon me, o par
don me, my fellow citizen" said the
orator. MY only excuse for mixing

Judge Parker until six months ago
and after next Tuesday | never ex-
pect to hear of him again. At the
close Oh the speech the man QiSaD-
peared through the woods and the
speakers returned to Rockingham.
The Goldsboro people have never
given to any man such an ovation as
they gave TO Governor Aycock Mon
day night. The Messenger Opera
House was crowded to standing room
in the body of the house and the gal
leries were overlooking with his fell
low citizens, men, women and chill
dren-and such speech It was in
spiration itself; so simple that every
child fully comprehended it; so fer
vid that all hung entranced upon his
words; so eloquent and imDassioned
that it moved to tears; so convincing
that ii will live in the hearts of his
hearers for aye. That "Charlev Az

and confidence OF his own people. who

Judge. Parker lost because the real
Democracy refused to accept him as
a Democrat.
Had j. Pierpont Morgan taken the
stump for him it could not have had
prominence of August Belmont and
the speech-making OF Cleveland and
Olney.
We regard Judge Park er's defeat as
a misfortune to the immediate inter
ests of the country. He is better and
cleaner by far than the men who
surrounded him. He has a conscience,
and respect for law. and his election
would have relieved us from some of
the dangers of Rooseveltism. We
should have had rest from sword
clanking, the Big Stick and that self
advertisement which are inSeparable
from Theodore Roosevelt in office.
The partys duty, cvaded in 1904,
remains the same-the criminal trusts
must be fought and crushed
If the Democratic party in it's lead
ership shall lack the intelligence to
see that principle and policy, speak
with one voice as to what the Demo-
cratic course should be, then as sure
as men resent robbery and hate OPP
preston some other party will spring
up to do the work. It is not in hui
man nature that the American peo-
pie will submit to government by the
trusts, by plutOcracy whose only
motive for political action is greed
a plutocracy which is without patriot
ism or sense of civic obligation.
The Democratic party has been
routed because it was afraid of the
trusts, because it preferred the sane.
safe and conservative course of
to them and begging them
for favors to the Democratic course
of fighting them.
The Democratic party is in a salu-
taTy state of mind today. 1t has had
its fill of safe, sane ana conservative
poltroonery and dishonesty, it's fill of
Belmontism and Clevelandism.
In the light of the past the future
is to be read:

party must be democratic.
