DEMOCRATS. LOST OPPORTUNITY.

But for 50 many absenteeS on the
democratic side in the house OF repre-
sentatives last Friday the railway
rate bill would not have been sent TO
conference without opportunity given
the members to vote on the amend
ments separately. Had all the demo-
Gratis been present they, with the re-
publican votes they had. on their side.
could have forced a vote on the ques-
tion of concurrence on the impOr-
tant senate amendments. AS matters
now stand the opponents have mat
tiers in their own hands. When the
conference report is made the house
will have to accept or reject it as a
whole. The Washington correspond
ent of The News and Observer. speak
ing of the action of the house on Fri
day, says:
If every democratic congressman
had been in his seat today, the inn
portant provisions of the railroad rate
bill would not have been sent to con-
ference, but would have been cons1d-
cred in the open, the very tnlng lndL
the republican majority did not want.
Twenty courageous republicans
stood UP against h dark lantern
methods of a conference, but alas! the
democrats presented a ragged front,
and so a great opportunity was wasted.
Having secured conferees to their lik-
ing the followers of the Duke of
Rhode Island proceeded to put the
rate bill in their hands.
This is the usual luck or lack Of
management on the part Of the demo-
Gratis. They never get their ducks in
a row that something is not done to
scatter them.

We cannot believe that the other

having surrendered Port Arthur, with
out making an effort to save his life.
Such action on the part Of Russia
would be so cruel and barbarous that
other governments would be justified
in demonstrating against it, though i
is a matter which concerns them not
at all from a political standpoint and
no international question is involved.
Already has President Roosevelt
been asked TO intercede in behalf Of
the generals life. Solomon Stoessel,
Of Cleveland, Ohio, who claims TO be
q cousin of the Russian, has written
a letter to the president, begging aim

claims that General StOessel is a re-
formed Jew and that General Kuropat-
kin, who hates the Jews, for that rea-
son failed to assist him in any way.
He asks that the president try 10 nave
the decision of the court set aside and
the condemned man given a new trial,

WILMINGTON, N. c.
TUESDAY, NAY 20, 1906.
GOVERNOR BOB TAYLOR'S VALE
DICTORY.

Hon. Robert L. Taylor, of Tennes-
see, who has just defeated Senator
Carmack in the primary election for
the senate, was twice elected governor
of his state. At the expiration OF MS
second term he declared he was done
with politics; that he would never
again be a candidate for political Of
fee; but il seems that desire for he
sweets of Office holding has overcome
lis antipathy to being a candidate.
When he retired from the Office o.
governor at the end of his second
term he announced his determination
to estew politics for the balance of his
life in the following characteristic
valedictory:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I am about
to shuttle off this mortal coil Of politics
and fly aWay to the heaven of my ma
tive mountains, where / can think and
dream in peace, safe from the sicken-
ing stings of unjust criticism, safe from
the taIons Of some old political vul-
lures, safe from the Shiny kiss and
keen dagger If ingratitude.
do not retire the SOI1Ildl1lDullSl u
n shattered dream, but with all the
uds OF hope bursting into bloom and
all the bowers of the future ringing
with melody. I am cOntented with my
lot in life. Three times I have worn
the laurel wreath of honor, tWined by
the people Ct my native state, and h a
is glory enough for me.
TO me there is nothing in this
world so pathetic as a candidate. He
is like a mariner without a compass,
drifting on the tempest-tossed waves
of uncertainty between the smiling
cliffs of hope and the frOwning crags
of despair. He is a walking petition
and a living prayer; he is the pack
horse Of public sentiment, the drome-
dairy Of politics. And even if he reaches
the goal Of his ambition, he will soon
feel the beak of the Vulture in his
heart. the fang of the serpent in his
soul.
| am no longer a candidate. Never
again will l be inaugurated into public
office. The ark of my public career
now rests on the Arrarat Of private
life, and I stand on it's peaceful sum-
nit and look down in the receding
food of politics. The dove of my des-
tiny has brought me an olive branch
from happier fields. and l so hence to
labor and to love.

Strikes these days are based on all
sorts of demands and declarations of
grievances. 1t is left to the teamsters
of Chicago 20 spring a new one on
their employers. 1t is that every
workingman should have an opportu-
nifty to go to church on Sunday. Upon
the response to this may depend a
strike of three thousand men next
week. 1t would be well if every la
boring mar in the country did have
an opportunity to go to church on
Sunday; but it would be still better
if all who now have the opportunity
would avail themselves of it. Then
there would be reason in the
demand that all should be given the
same opportunity.

1t seems we were mistaken in sup
posing that Senator Burton, of Kan
sas, would not insist on retaining his
seat after final decision of the indict-
ment against himself. He has an
nounced that he will not resign from
the senate. This will force the SEN
ate either to expel him on to declare
by resolution that the conviction works
an custer and that by eason of that
conviction the seat is vacant. Sena-
tor Burton may be right in his con
tention that his status as a member OF
the senate has not been changed by
the decision of the court, but tina,
would not prevent the senate from ex-
polling him for violating the crimica.
laws of the land. The senate will
probably take no action until after
the supreme court has acted ON his
application for a 1%ehearing and in
case it is granted until the rehearlng
has been had and passed upon.

dressed an open letter to President
Roosevelt in which he says, now, be-
fore Mrs. jefferson Davis dies, he
should wire her a retraction of his

Nor is it to be supposed that there
is a single member Of President Davis
family or a single ex-soldier or ex-

the snap of his finger whether he does
SO Or not. In fact, it would be better
for Mrs. Davis sake that he should
not do so. Why should he, in her
last moments, disturb her peace OF

brutal conduct toward her husband.

making a ~retracIion of words which

The drought is broken. After days
of dry weather there was a refreshing
rain yesterday afternoon and last
night and the weather man is pre-
dieting rain for today and from all
signs the prediction will probably
come true. Up to the time this is
written the rainfall has not been
great enough to do any large amount
of good for it has been dry SO long
that it will take a vast amour Of
rain to get the ground wet for any
depth. Not since in the first part Of
the month has there been any rain
of consequence and during April there
was not as much as half an incn.
The farmers were greatly relieved
to see the rain for they knew a few
more days of dry weather would mean
that truck in many sections would be
almost ruined. Already has great
damage been done to many crops.
The disturbance from Florida has
continued its course northward anu is
merging with a depression which is
| advancing from the west. Rain was
falling over the greater portion Of the
eastern section of the United States
yesterday. In the west and north
| west cold weather has set in and IS
| reported as extending from Lake Su-
| perior to the westward with snow 8 n
Montana and North Dakota. With the
exception of the extreme northwest,
there had been no material tempera-
ture changes.
Wilmington had the warmest wealth

heat very oppressive. If this section

been slowly travelling up the coast in
