Among the people of Raleigh that
have been on the Inflated General
Slocum" are Miss Roberta Phillips and
the Misses Broughton, they having
been on an excursion on this boat
through the famous He'll Gate while
they were visiting in New York last
summer.
A negro excursion, bringing about
three hundred, was here yesterday
from Goldsboro. No trouble from
any of them was reported last night
Note the difference: Last summer
when Raleigh had open barrooms
there was never an excursion here
but that several were arrested = for
being drunk and disOrderely; of the
seven excursions here this summer
not one excursionist has been ar

HAS DONE VERY WELL
is NOT THIS TRUE OF THE RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY?
Has the Democratic Party Ever Done
as Well? Never in All Its History.
Can 1t Do as Well? There is No
Reason to Believe 1t Can or Will.

An admirable beginning of the cam
paign which is to terminate in the
election Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
was made at the great ratification
meeting held under the auspices of
the Republican club of the City of
New York in the large hall of the
Cooper Union on the evening Of June
80. Among the speakers was Hon.
John M. Thurston, former United
States senator from Nebraska. The
Republican club did we'll to bring
from his retirement this famous
orator and stalwart champion of
sound Republicanism. Mr.. Thurston
never fails to say something worth
hearing and worth remembering, but
he has seldom struck finer vein OF
useful thought than when he took
for his principal theme the PROPOSE
ton that
"The Republican party has done
toIera5ly WE'LL"
With master strokes he rapidly
sketched the splendid achievements
in recent years of the party of prog
ress and prosperity. Especially i'm
pressive was his statement Of what
the Republican party has done toward
enhancing the moral and material
welfare of the people of the United
States. Said Mr.. Thurston:
"As we look over the history Of
the last several years, the fruitful his
tory of Republican administration, it
seems to me that the American peo-
pie must say that the Republican
party has done tolerably we'll We
find that our farmers and our planters
have raised crops such as they never
had before. They have fed our own
people-they have fed the millions
of the outside world Home con-
sumption and the ability to buy and
foreign demand have given them the
best prices they ever received. We
look abroad throughout the land and
we find that in these seven years our
manufactures have increased to a
wonderful degree. We find that our
people are ,busy-that they are at
work; that there is no idleness, and
general prosperity abides in the land.

1--WE will stand for the protective
tariff which has made this
land resound with the happy
music of the turning wheels.
Every time go out into the
great valleys Of the Ohio and the Mis-
sissippi, and think of the condition
that existed in these valleys and on
these hillsides only eight years ago,
as | went through the same country,
it seems to me that | can hear in the
music of every wheel as it turns, in
the music of every spindle as it sings.
one great grand refrain for the mod
ern leader Of the protective theory,
as it cries out to the wide, wide world,
William McKinley-for he was tho
nan.
1--WE have been doing tolerably wen
with the finances of the United States.
We have developed our industries so
fast, we have produced so rapidly,
that we have changed the great trade
balances that seemed about to pau
perize us under the Democratic adj
ministration, and year by year the in
creasing wealth of all the world rush
ed into the American treasury.
Year by year Europe pours her tri-
butte, the tribute to the policy and the
administration of the Republican
party. We are accommodating wealth
so fast that, give us but one more
decade of the same kind, and we will
not only be the creditor nation of the
world but we will have so much Of
the money of all the earth that no
nation will dare go to war with an
other nation without asking Americas
consent.
1--WE are doing tolerably we'll"
Upon the truth or falsity Of these
statements the election of 1904 will
largely turn. Is it true or not true
that the Republican party has done
tolerably well?
The answer must be, cannot fail to
be, in the affirmative.
Has the Democratic party ever
done as well? Never in all its his
tory.
Can the Democratic party do as
well? There is no reason to believe
it.
Ex-senator Thurston has sounded
the real keynote of the campaign.

Arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, Aug. 1.-(SpeciaD-
In this section of Pennsylvania there
is growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as Rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that of Mrs. M. l.. Dawson of this
place. she tells the story herself as
follows:
81 have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine l have ever taken.
| was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back
hasn't bothered me since | took
DoGd's Kidney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
the result would be considered Won
derful if it were not that others are
reporting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for rheumatism"

Enemy Driven From The Stronghold By
General 0ku.
THE PLAN WAS A SUCCESS.
1t Is Almost Impossible To Trans
port Trains Through The Country,
And 1t Is Becoming Question How
To Provision Troops.

Toxic, July 29.-In a daring night
mated at five divisions with one hun
sdred guns, General Oku succeeded in
driving the enemy from their strong
line of defenses south of Ia Tche
Kiao. Advancing, General Oku found
a superior force confronting him and
that a heavy artillery fire from the en-
7emy was checking his men. He
kthereupon decided to hold the posi-
Gions he then held and attempt a
night surprise. This was successful,
the Japanese troops hustling the Rus
SLAMS into retreat to Ia Tche Kiao.
The japanese had only 500 casual
ties. No estimate of the Russian losses
is given.
The Takushan army did not partici-
pate in this fight, it being located to
the east of Ia Tche Kiao. Moving
to the northward this Takushan force
fought and won a separate action on
riday, July %, at Panling, losing 81
men. The commander of the Takush-
an army charged that the Russians
violated the Japanese flag, which they
hoisted in an attempt to deceive the
Japanese, after which they fired a
-volley into the Japanese ranks. The
Russians left IA dead at Panling.
The Japanese began the advance
against the Russian positions south
of Ia Tche Kiao on July %. On this
date the vanguard occupied positions
in the vicinity of Chuichiatun, to the
southeast of Ia Tche Kiao, develop
ing the position and strength of the
enemy. The Russian line was through
the hills south of Ia Tche Kiao, eX-
tending almost due east and west of
the railroad. The position of the en-
envy was fortified. The strongest
point was at Tai Ping mountain, to
the southeast of Ia Tche Kiao, (and
here the heaviest force had assem-
bled.) The Russians had two battal-
ions of artillery posted near Chaten-
canon, due south of Ia Tche Kiao,
and head of the main line.

Sintsintin, anchuria.-Simultane
ously with the advance from the south
the Japanese from the north have
pressed forward toward the west, as
if to strike the railroad south OF
Mukden. But the move is not made
by a heavy force, so far as is known,
and it is thought scarcely possible
that the Japanese would dare to ex-
tend such a line, leaving the troops
on the Russian left in a position to
flank them.
Notwithstanding the prophecies of
some of the Manchurian weather eX-
perts, there is only light rainy sea
son. this year. Rain is falling every
where, however, and several of the
rivers are overlooking. The question
of provisioning the troops will soon
have to be faced by the Japanese, as
the movement of transport trains
through the country is already al
most impossible.
Washington-The Japanese legation
has received the following telegram
from Toxic:
Marquis Oyama, commander-in-
chief of the Japanese armies in Man.
churia, reports that on July 25, New
chwang was occupied by the Japanese
forces. A detachment of cavalry was
sent there at first, and then a detach-
ment of infantry. Both these detach-
ments, however, were withdrawn to
Newchiatun (about three miles from
Newchwang), leaving there only such
number of soldiers as were deemed
necessary for police purposes."

ing the tariff question to the front, If
they do this. Two or three Democrats
in Congress have been making anti
tariff addresses recently, with the in
tention of using them as campaign
documents. The Republicans will be
glad to assist the Democrats in dis
seminating all of that sort of litera-
ture that they will want to send out.
The tariff is a pretty old issue. 1t
has been talked about in many can
vases. In several campaigns it has
turned the scale. For a great many
years the Republican party has stood
out sturdily for a tariff which will
give adequate protection to American
interests. For many of those inter-
ests the Republicans have been able
to secure considerable protection. All
the interests that deserve aid of this
sort at the custom house the Repub-
lican party will defend. Let the Dem
ocrats be under no illusions on that
point. The Republican party would
be very glad to see the issue of pro-
lection brought to the front by the
Democrats. The wiser members of
the Democracy know there is peril
for their party in assailing the tariff.
but perhaps some of the tenderfoot
leaders of 1904 may be deluded into
making an assault on this system.
Several excuses we're made for Han
cocks defeat in 1880, but the tariff
was the real cause of his overthrow.
1t was the Mills bill, which never
passed, that laid out Cleveland in
1888. The Republicans do not need
the tariff as an aid in 1904. but they
will accept it If the Democrats are
obliging enough to furnish II. Under
the Republican tariff of 1897 the coun-
try has sad a prosperity almost with
out example in its annals. II the
Democrats want to assail this act.

Sian of Fine Weather.

In early summer, when the weather
is showery, you may perhaps notice
through breaks in the rain clouds an
appearance of densish white cloudlets
in small, irregular tufts brightly ir-
radiated by sunshine. The children
call it mackerel sky. Its real name is
Cirro-cumulus, and it is sure sign
of heat, and probably fine weather.

RUSSIANS ARE CARELESS.
Much Sickness Due To Neglect OF
Sanitary Precautions.

General Kurol1i's Headquarters in
the Field, via Fusan, July 29.-Re-
ports from the Russian lines agree
that much fever and dysentary exist
among the soldiers. 1t is the opinion
that much of the sickness is caused
from neglect of sanitary precautions
in the Chinese towns occupied.
The first work of the Japanese upon
entering towns which the Russians
have abandoned is thoroughly to clean
the streets and houses. Many of the
houses are found in most filthy con-
dition, and are infested with swarms
of flies. The report that number of
Russian guns we're captured on July
10 is untrue.
