"GooD LORD AND GOOD DEVIL

The big and little Radical editors
are trying to explain that the Presi-
dents attitude on the regulation of
railroad rates is not what the Presi-
dent declared it to be in his Raleigh
speech. 1t is to be hoped that the
President knows what he favOrS better
than the little editors who wish to
stand in with the railroad trust and
Mr.. Roosevelt, too. They are having
a hard time, but their ingenuity is
equal to the emergency. They are for
government regulation of Interstate
rates, as they explain the President TO
be, and they are for railroad owner
ship of political conventions and Leg
islatures. They must say they are
with the President, or maybe they'll
not get an office, and they belong to
tho State railroad machine SO they
are PRAYING Good Lord and Good
Devil" not knowing into whose hands
they will fall.

practical Morals in Shakespeare"
For many years DR.. Hume has made
an extensive study of the plays of
Shakespeare and he has not only dis
tinguished himself at the University,
but all over the State, by his thorough
knowledge of the works of the great
writer.
BY request of tho Y. NJ. G. a. ana

WAS IT BLOTTED OUT?


II don't give damn to be mayor.
but, by God, 1 am going to see to it
that every man who cast his vote for
me gets it counted. l am going to
contest this thing and fight it out to
the bitter end"
That is what the New York World
represents Mr.. Hearst pale and shak-
ing with anger" as saying at midnight
on the day of the election when his
friends came to him with statements
of fraud, intimidation, assault and at
tempted murder.
The enemies of Mr.. Hearst will
point to that profane language and say
that it proves that he lacks the poise
and calmness necessary to leader
ship and exposes his unfitness
His friends, while regretting the
use of profanity, will declare that
when he saw men who had been
battered and bruised, one man with
a broken arm dangling in his sleeve,
another whose head had been cut
open, with the blood trickling through
the bandages injured by Tammany
thugs" and when he felt that he had
been robbed of votes belonging to
him,-these friends say there Wad
great prOvocation for his forgetting
himself and using the name of the
Lord in vain. They will doubtless go
further and claim that, seeing the
great temptation, the Recording Angel
dropped a tear and blotted out the
record against William Randolph.

HEARST MEANS BUSINESS.


There is no doubt that Mr.. Hearst
and many who did not support him
believe he was elected mayor of New
York. The narrow margin and the
holding back of returns frosn certain
districts may not mean anything, but
they look suspicious. The advantage
of big wealth is to be able to spend
enough to secure evidence and mako
a thorough investigation and employ
the best legal talent to sift things to
the bottom. If Mr.. Hearst has been
elected. after the most remarkable
municipal campaign in decade, every
honest man in the country will wish to
see him given the office, and with
money enough to go into the matter
fully the frauds will be discovered If
they exist. Concluding half page
editorial. Mr.. Hearst's paper says:
1.-The crime of 1876, when Samuel j.
Tilden was cheated out of the Presi-
dency of the United States, cannot be
repeated in New York. This is not
Florida, nor is it Louisiana. Return
ing boards here cannot be packed.
THE battle will be fought out In
Every vote that was meant to be cast
for w. r. Hearst and the Municipal
Ownership ticket will be inspected.
THE criminals will be sent to Sing
Sing. Already there is an exodus OF
them from the city. The repeaters have
fled. But the men who hired the re-
peaters and the men who led election
officials to betray their trust can yet
be reached When they are reached.
justice will be done with swift and
untiring hand.
Even on the face of the returns
Tammany has met a Waterloo. Muir
phys day of power is ended and Muir
phys hrelings might as we'll prepare
to retire from the public crib where
they have fed SO long. The day OF
Murphy's contracts is over, and the
day of the trusts continuing their con-
troll of the city has also passed away.
"215,000 independent citizens, whose
votes were counted. will never permit
the unholy crew to continue their con-
troll of New York.
THE crime of 1886, when they coun-
ed out Henry George, cannot be re-
peated in New York. 215,000 indie
pendent citizens will not permit Muir
ply and his men to defeat their de-
termination to have good government
in the Greater City. At that time
there is no doubt that Henry George
was elected, as has been confessed
many times since by those who took
part in defrauding his voters. This
time the successors of that unholy
crew will not be permitted to repeat
the crime.
william Randolph Hearst has been
elected. and William Randolph Hearst
will yet be sworn in as mayor of New
York" .-..

THE LESSON OF THE INDIANA
ELECTION FOR RALEIGH.

In Indiana, where the municipal
ocrats won as many victories as the
Republicans. The real significance of
the elections in that State, as in 9TH
ers, is moral rather than political, for
the chief issue in all the Indiana cities
that excited deepest interest was the
demand for the enforcement of laws
against vice in all it's forms particularly
to end violations of law by saloons. In
Terre Haute, Evansville, Crawford
vile and six other of the biggest cities
the Democrats won victories because
Republican administra tons had failed
to enforce the laws. In an equal num-
Der of smaller cities Republicans won
over the Democrats upon the same
platform for the enforcement of law
against vice. AS to party victories, 1t
is drawn battle. leaving neither par
ty any political advantage. The glory
of it all is that when the issue of law
enforcement was made, the party that
was believed to be most determined to
enforce the laws won in nearly every
contest.
There is a lesson in these municipal
elections for all sections of the coun-
try. Right here in Raleigh the lesson
should be taken to heart by public Off
Gals sworn to enforce the law Re-
Gently a pickpocket caught in the
act, has been allowed to leave by for
feiting a nominal bond of 500 when
he should have been held under a
bond big enough to have insured a
term of working the roads of Wake
county. Keepers of hell holes are
fined AND permitted to return to their
hellish business. A fine or small bond
for a pickpocket and any sort of fine
for the keeper of nell
hole oh gambling house practically is
granting license to violate law,
the license tax being moderate
fine whenever caught. The people of
Raleigh hold up their hands in horror
a. the failure to prosecute criminals
in great cities. If they will look right
here at home, they will see that except
petty stealing and DRINKS, the en-
forcement of the laws against gamD-
ling, hell holes, and sporty thieves
and real tony Migrants is not what
it should be.
Raleigh people are responsible for
this condition of lethargy and failure
here at home. The sentiment in the
city is growing against all officials
whether judges or policemen or other
enforced.
Help and deliverance" will come.
We appeal to present officials to wake
up and stamp out the hell holes of va
rious sorts and quit virtually licensing
these places by imposing fines or being
blind to their existence. They have
the capacity if they have the determi-
nation Will they do their duty? Or
will they invite a contest such as has
submerged officialdom in nearly every
city where the issue was raised in In
diana?

MONOPOLISTS ALREADY AT
WORM.

The people of North Carolina, rest
ing i'm a sense of security, need to
study the intrigues that are already
in process of being carried out in
North Carolina by which the trans
portation trust, the tobacco trust, the
insurance trust and other allied mo-
nopolies hope to control the next Gen
eraI Assembly of North Carolina Here
tofore in this State the insurance trust
has had little or no interest in North
Carolina legislation, but they will be
in the "combindery'' up to their
elbows.
1t is none too soon for the people
to see that men nominated for the
Legislature are men of high character
and devotion to right, without alli-
ances with trusts OF any sort. In
some counties the combine" has al
ready picked out it's candidate for
the Senate. They will soon be organ
izing also to get their man for the
House. a good rule to pursue, men
and brethren, if North Carolina is to
be saved from the corporation-domi-
nation that curses so many States, is
to find out who the trusts and rail-
roads want and to see that he is de-
feated by some man who totes his
own skillet" If the folks go to sleep
the North Carolina Legislature will
be controlled by men who take or
ders from heads of monopolies There
are plenty of signs of their manouev-
ering already. They can be defeat
ed if the people are alert and ag-
greSSiVe.
